The Challenges of Fatherhood

I have learned that being a father can bring great joy.  I have 2 boys my oldest is 5 1/2.  but according to him 5.  my youngest is 18 months according to my oldest 1.

Kids are so precise there is no grey it is all black and white,  I guess as we get older we understand the black and white is there but there can be gray scale in our life as well; but for a child it is all black and white.

I know we want to teach them right from wrong and how to make decisions on their own but do we teach them or do they teach us.  Sometimes I wonder.   They test us they try our patience in what we say.  My oldest is now being defiant and trying my patience along with my wives.  He will also say no after much argumentation and confrontation he gives in to us.

Tonight I told him enough is enough he is old enough to wash his face himself. He got mad and said NO.  The biggest problem is as the school years winds down and many early mornings as of late he is exhausted.  But according to him he is not.

I have learned that reasoning with a child is near impossible you need to make compromises and have them understand why.

I often wonder am I doing what is right by being firm and taking items away and threatening to not do something to make a point.  We take his computer away or his tablet, he has a fit but is he learning by our actions.  Or is it just a justification for us that we are wining the tiny battles or his he the one winning by gaining our attention since he sees us so little with us both working.

I have seen love in him and the desire to emulate both my wife and I in what we do,  He loves drawing and creating with both of us he goes in to my wife's art studio to create he wants to be like her.  He will draw with me and asks me why do I always draw castles or waterfalls.  That is a question I wish I could answer. I know I like drawing them but he tells me I need to draw other things.  I did in the past i guess it is just a stage I am going through.

Enough about me.  Fatherhood has changed me that is for sure it teaches us to slow down and enjoy the little things in life.

How the world has changed in 35 years

As I look back on my life it is changed a lot from the time 1 was 10 till now.

Computers in every house not even a pipe dream cell phones what were they.  We had a rotary phone yes the one you dialed by spinning it in a circle.  Call Display or Speed Dial not an option.  In order to remember a phone number you needed to memorize it or you had in a phone book or paper Rolodex.  The electronic ones didn't exist and the smartphone what was that. Now with Cell phones there is no need for a land line we have eliminated ours as have many other people.  The phone instead of hanging on the wall now stores our life and connects us to the world and our friends.
It is at our sides all the time it is part of us.

My music collection consisted of Records heck tapes were just being conceived little alone the thought of having your music collection on an IPOD or MP3 player.  There was not even a Sony Walkman.  Now you have more music on your computer or in or IPOD or MP3 player than can you listen  to in a lifetime.

The Computer was only a simple calculator I was around 10 when we got the VIC 20 yes a commodore I remember playing Frogger on it for ours and running simple games of a tape drive.
I often think back to this; my phone has 16GB internal memory and 64 GB memory card in it.  The VIC 20 had a whopping 4K of internal ram and a memory expansion card not even a dream.
My phone has roughly the amount of 64 Billion times more storage than my first PC.  I know it is not the exact amount but it puts it in to perspective.

We had a simple tube TV. A flat screen what was that cable with over 400 Channels heck we had an antenna that had a rotator for the antenna to get a whopping 10 channels on a good day. The TV's of Today are insane from what we had as children the colour quality is life like now with HDTV and even 3D.  Heck we now have smart TV's with more computing power than my VIC 20.

We got a VCR when I was about 12 wow it was amazing we could record TV and rent Movies.  Now we have DVD's and Move Collections galore on our PC's that we download from various sites such as ITunes.  Then there is the VCR replacement the PVR with 1 TB and the option to add more storage I have a 2TB External drive plugged in to ours for a told of 3TB of storage.  No need to erase the tape anymore.  You can record a whole season and then have a marathon.  You can even record 10 items at once. That wasn't even conceived of when I was a kid.

This is just a few things as there are many others that have changed and I am just wondering what my Mattis and Felix will have when they are my age.  It just scares me or does it intrigue me.

A time to discover thy self



The time has come to move away from the misconceptions of hundreds of years.  The church was put in place during a time of great unrest and anarchy in the world.  During a time when all hope was lost.  During a time when knowledge had been lost and the world was driven to utter chaos.  The Dark Ages the time of mere destruction and wars among the people.  The church of the time was put in place to bring order to a world that was lost.  It was brought in to guide us out of the dark ages and in to the path of enlightenment.

The only problem is that over time the church evolved beyond it’s mandate and became no better than the tyrants it was trying to stop.  The church is no more than an out dated philosophy inhibiting the growth of the human mind beyond what we are now.  There is so much beyond the physical.  There is so much that is out of our reach that has been lost as the church came to power and even to this day rules it’s subjects by fear.  They have mastered this by brainwashing us in to believing that the only way the soul moves on is by believing in a character they created.  The character was a mere mortal they elevated or created Jesus Christ and only through him you will move to the next evolution heaven. 

The human mind is beyond being ruled by fear or is it.  The simple truth is that it is not look in on yourself and see what you believe.  We know the answers science has proved so much from our past and should have elevated the human mind to another plan of existence but it hasn’t.  The simple truth is that the masses are still being ruled by fear that they will not move on in life unless they believe in a false God and his Son. 

Just think about the school playground how the bully rules the playground by fear.  Is the church any different by saying if you don’t live and follow Jesus you will not reach salvation.  The only path to heaven or the next level of existence is through Jesus.

If you take a look at things and analyze them how did things really happen how did the ancients know things that we are only beginning to understand again?  Think about the evolution process did man get help evolving from Apes we know the process started and science has proved it but I think the simple truth is that we haven’t found the missing link because an alien race helped us evolve to the next level and became our first gods.  The ancient civilizations believed in higher powers yes but only as a helper and guider not a divine path to salvation as the modern church does.  The Gods of ancient times brought us things and helped us it is documented in the Ancient myths, from Greece, Scandinavia and others.  There was also bad Gods that tried to corrupt us and slow the evolutionary process down. 

The simple truth of what I am saying is that within all of us we know the truth.  The Ancient Egyptians knew this and it is documented in the Egyptian book of the Dead.  The spirit moves on to another plan of existence that there is more beyond this world that each man seeks to better himself and those around him.  We surround ourselves with comfort and luxuries to create our own personal heaven.  We need to grow and shed the false hoods and let our mind discover the truths inside us. 

The one truth in this world is simply this
Life is what you make it and how live it is yours to decide.
Each person controls the choices they make and what they do to creates their own world

Death is not the end but is merely the beginning or the transition to another life.

The sum of all Religion

All Religion is intertwined all myths are intertwined and linked to Religion.  They are all based loosely on facts and stories based down to explain the ways of the world.

All religions are the key to the ancients; all stories are rooted in myth or in the eyes of a simple people who used the Gods to explain the unknown. 

If you look at the tale of Noah it describes to a people that were moved to another place the basic principal of a journey possibly from another world.  It was written to explain in simple terms that people of the time could understand.  If it was written today a tale from another world in a Spacecraft would not be a far-fetched tale.

There are myths and legends in of Ivanhoe and King Arthur and Ivanhoe all rooted in Myth.  In King Arthur he sought what all men seek the Truth.  In Ivanhoe he fights with the black Knight which represents our inner demons.  These are both things that all men fear or seek.  We look for the truth in all aspects of Life and we fight with our inner demons.  This is no different then what all religions preach the finding of truth and guiding us to find our inner peace through a divine power.

In Christianity we have the temptation of the Devil or Satan with Jesus.  Here is an example from the bible

Matthew 4:1-11New International Version (NIV)

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness

4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[b]”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,

    and they will lift you up in their hands,

    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]”

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

In all the Ancient myths or religions and modern religion it is intertwined.  The Ancient Gods have been combined into one God in all mainstream modern religions.

Jihad is a factor to induce fear it is man fearing or taking the unknown about another religion and acting out to the extreme.  That is my take on way someone would act in that way.  Part of Jihadism is the art of brainwashing someone in to going to the extreme and taking things too far. 

As I have mentioned in earlier chapters brainwashing or hypnosis is easy and has been around since the dawn of time.  It is easy to make the weaker mind believe and together they will rise up.  Hitler was a shear Master he made a nation believe.  Then there was Napoleon, for the French, Alexander the Great for the Greeks who did the same they were all great speakers.  They were able to take a country that had been devastated or had lost it sense of identity and deliver to greatness even if it was for a short time.  They all had great egos that brought them to their final defeat.  They wanted it all and extended their domains too far and too fast.  That is the same with the inner workings of a every man in our everyday lives Religion myth and History can teach this all to us in many ways.

The Key to all great Legends, Myths and Religion is that they are not history but are simply away of guiding man on his path or his Destiny give us the power to make our own choices in life.  If we go beyond what we know to be our comfort zone and the ties some of our worlds may collapse because we lose our Security.  The choices we make and the roads we take that extend us beyond what we know is what defines us.  The greats of History and the modern world still do this they rise up and bring people around them up. Are they Gods would they have been perceived as a God.

The Gods want us to exeed the ancients they want us to continually grow and nurture the mind question the ties that hold us the bonds that are put on us.  The myths and tales in the bible teach us to understand and look at things differently.  The Bible is far from historical fact but a mere god with maybe pieces of History loosely woven in to the tales describing the lands where it came from.  The kings were likely true figures and their exploits created made them legends.

The key to all myths and religions is understand them and in turn it will help us understand our neighbours of different religions and ethnicity.  We share this planet with many different Cultures religions and Ancient Civilizations long lost.  Maybe a deeper understanding of this will allow us to unlock greater mysteries; in ourselves.


The Earth is a wondrous place and a true student of man will understand and grow to appreciate the world and people we live with.

The Links of Religion

The world and time are linked but how are they linked.  The question do we know the Templars or the Disciples of Jesus Time or the Templar of the great crusades.  Is your mind is my mind linked to any one of them or another great figure.  Is our mind linked to all or none? Can one mind between space and time do we have all the pieces in all of us.  If we come together can we solve the universe can we solve the mysteries of the world and space and time.

There are so many mysteries in the world, are they true are the myths are they and or just folklore do they have hidden truths.  Are all these ancient pieces the key to understanding all the key to world peace?

We have Oak Island, Easter Island, Atlantis, and the Bermuda Triangle.  How do this mysteries relate to us is the secret in all of us or just a few of us.  Do we have the power to find the Secrets?

Let’s start with Atlantis and Oak Island are they one.  The Templar's sought Atlantis or did they create the myth that was created by Plato.  Did they believe in the Utopia was Atlantis North and South America the breakaway continents of the might Pangaea.  Did the greater powers that guided the Templar's and their quest for knowledge their belief in Gnosis truths guide them to the mysterious Oak Island?  Is the Modern Worlds misconceptions wrong is Plato wrong is the lost Continent the Americas the breakaway continents.  Or was Plato right and the Ancient religions lost track in their desire to control the masses wrong on the Plains of Ancient Egypt is a representation of the Americas the Temples of the Gods are in the Americas was the coincidence does this prove that Atlantis is not lost but found was it the breakaway piece on Pangaea placed on the plains by Ancient beings.

As you can see to the left oblong of the Plateau is the Americas.  What is the coincidence of this how did this end up as a relief on the Gaza Plateau and what is the significance.  If you draw a line from Giza to the Aztecs they are on the same line.  However there is no significant relief in the Aztec Area.  I often wonder why.  Did the Gods or the Ancient alien beings of Ancient Egypt re-create a relief on the Giza Plateau create a reference for future Aliens to new the origins of mankind or was this done so mankind could understand the link between past and future that all beings start at one location and grow out from there.  It is often believed that the Pyramid Knowledge for Egypt was from Ancient Aliens is the same to be said for the Mayans and the Aztecs. As wells as the Ancient Temples of India.  If you look at a world Map all the Ancient temples are in the same Region all long the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn.  In the prime regions of the sun.  The answer is simple they all worshiped a son God or a Deity that represented the sun or the moon.

As religion evolved it dispelled the illusion that the sun was the God and that god was in the image of man.  As we grow as mankind grows the illusion of god become less and less and the image of self-Power will dominate.  As we understand our own minds and our links.  We have now created God in our image and want him to be our guide.  We are our own guide in the world; God is a creation of our own mind to understand ourselves and nothing more.  This can be said for all religions of you look deep in to them by analyzing the past and the many religions of mankind.  They are all a simple form to understand ourselves.

The Norse (Viking’s) believed in the same the World of Creation and the almighty God only from a different Perspective.  There was Odin the all-powerful and Thor the son who came to live with mankind.  In Norse there was a twist Loki the god of mischievous which is in all man he would tempt man or twist them.

There is always similarities in other aspects you have the stories and tales of a great flood was it a flood or a journey from the heavens to Earth.  Most Pagan religions have tales of great floods or ships carrying people to safety.  Was this a flood or a journey from another world to protect a race or transplant a race from a dying world?   Was a flood the easiest way to explain this to a simple minded race that was transplanted by Aliens to another world?

When you look at this and draw parallels to all Religions.  But Christianity has stolen from all Religions as the Romans conquered they wrote History by forcing the conquered to adapt their Religion.  There are various variations of Christianity but the roots are all inter-twined and come from the same force.

The one thing no matter what religion you believe in we all seek the same thing.  In Norse mythology you would seek Valhalla in Christianity you seek Heaven in Islam Jana.  Mankind has sought since our existence to seek a higher plan of existence.  Why do you seek the higher plan is it because of the Aliens that brought us here your because it was bred in to our Genes when we were Ancient men to keep us at bay.   All Religion has picked up on this and uses it why is there a hidden truth to this or is it just a myth.  It is a hard question to answer but it was one we need to answer ourselves.

The Higher plan can vary for all it could be varying levels it could be domination levels or gradual these can be compared to the Gods of the Modern World as we are controlled by these to some degree.

As it was said and demonstrated in Exodus (this is a paraphrase) there is a need for all men to be free a need to escape if we believe in it, anything can be possible.  As it was demonstrated one man can guide us and we can be made to believe in him, he can influence us he can guide us and lead us.

The Bible gave us Moses as a Leader but there was also Aaron his brother.  Moses was the representative of God or was he a mere magician.  Aaron was the people person the power that we all have only a few of us rise above the others.  In life we are all Moses or Aaron the Leader or the person that wants to please all.  Aaron made the Gold Gods to worship and Moses made the ultimate Leader.  He was made when he saw this and it is the ultimate example of Power.  Moses was the true leader if there is a God or not or one God he wanted the world to believe, God in our image not the image of animal.

We all seek to lead or to follow; the world needs both.

The Power of the God the power of the slave is predefined in who we are or is it.  Can we find the strength to rise above this yes we can.  The Almighty God is an excuse to hide behind an entity we feel to be more powerful.  This is because the Governing bodies have made us to feel inferior.  We are all Gods of our own Destiny sure outside circumstances can affect us.  The one thing you need to remember is the feather in Forest Gump it floats around on its own course but is pushed by the world around it.  Where it lands is pre-determined but we as humans can control the world around us.

Is our life like a feather does it float or is it like a rock.  Does life float or sink.  Life does both it floats and drops.  There are high and low points in life the floating of the feather can represent the high points and the Rock can recognize the dropping.

Are we Moses or are we Aaron?  Are we Achilles who was superior all but one flaw in his heel, as in the Greek fable of Homer?  This is the one question for all of mankind or is it.  The power to be a god or a slave is in us all.  The power to believe in higher power is in us all; the truth is what we seek to choose.

The basis of Religion is defined it is the basis that all mankind is made to believe in whether it is God, Allah, or Buddha to name just a few. Religions are in essence the same. The beliefs are similar yet different.  The tales can be found in all regions there is a tale of the prodigal son in Christianity, Buddhism, and Hindi.  The Similar parable in Islam is twisted to mean the opposite we don’t forgive because if we do we are weak.
Mohammed is reported to have said “whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him”. Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)
People say that the bible and the Koran are different some the first versions of both are the same in order to prove or dispel we need to find the original bible that was written in Babylonian times.  Was the bible lost in Alexandria?

In all Religions they are parables to guide us that have distorted over time and made to be the gospel on the world as History.  All the major religions are the same mere parables to guide us.  The most common one is the Prodigal son as mentioned above. Another is the temptation of the devil.
Christianity from King James Version
being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.  Muhammad has the temptation multiple times and can be seen here.
http://www.answering-islam.org/Authors/Arlandson/confronting_satan.htm

The one thing we need to remember is we are all the same but with slightly different beliefs.  We all came from the same place and have adapted and twisted History to meet our own needs.  The conquerors have re-written History and misconceptions have been made.  I have taken to many Americans and they are told in School that they one the War of 1812 most of them have no clue that the White House was sacked by the Canadians.

The one thing we need to remember is the original biblical texts about Jesus were in Greek and the Old Testament in Hebrew.  They were then translated in to English, French, and German etc… How much got lost in Translation and where are the originals?

In modern times there have been kings and Emperors that have re-written the texts of Christianity as in other Religions.  They re-wrote History to suit their needs Emperor Constantine was a prime example of this.  He is the father of the modern Christian Bible.

I have been reading the accounts of General Thomas Harrison the Regicide Based on his account with Cromwell.  Sure Cromwell was a great leader but he was a mere puppet in the plans to over the government.  The monarchist re-wrote history after they re-gained power.  The place of the Puppet is prominent in History.  If you look at Moses and Aaron.  Aaron was a mere puppet of the master of illusion Moses, as was Ramses.
