Some gathering conclusions on the journey

So, any how... I Felt a bit bad about leaving everything hanging. About belief and my conclusions on my mental trip.... Here's what God spoke into my life.

I guess my biggest pondering was "is my faith real?" Is it real or is it just emotional and psychological. Is it created in our minds to feel better about getting through a seemingly meaningless life?

I definitely came up with the conclusion that yes, there is such thing as a spiritual life. There are too many unexplainable things in this world.

Like love for instance. There is nothing scientific about love. If we didn't believe in love we'd be left with lust and just the purely physical need for the human race to reproduce and to satisfy their own selfish physical desires. But I've been fortunate enough to actually witness genuine human love in several romantic relationships. Its actual existence, persistence, and longevity defies human description. Love is not common sense - it's very supernatural.

And our need for relationship...There is nothing biological about that.

How about idealism in itself. Why do we think that things could be better if we've never actually been there? What actually gives us the ability to imagine a better reality. It's like we were created for a perfect world and have been fighting against it since the day we were born. It's like we know things are messed up. The dawn of socialism itself points to heaven. "hmmmm... imagine a world where all people were equal and unselfish and shared everything!!" In the Words of Jesus and Chairman Mao "Serve the People" True socialism is like Matthew 5, but we can't carry it out because we are sinful people who live in a broken world BUT we know it should exist.

I just think that the fact that most cultures everywhere around the world believe in a spiritual life is grounds enough to say it exists because it's almost like instinct. Like we were created to realize this. It's a predisposed conclusion in the human race and we usually need to be rich and have a university education to be "wise" enough to fight against it and fight for our own scientific autonomy which denies a God.

But the main thing that God showed me during my trip was how he is real to so many people and how he is filling them up all over the world and in so many cultures. I guess it would take a million page essay if I were to answer all of the arguments that one could make, but I can just tell you how God spoke to me.

And when I say "God" I mean God from the Bible. I don't mean that all truths are equal and lead to the same path. That, in my opinion defies all logic and panders to a society with no backbone which wants to suit everyone. There cannot be multiple directly contradicting statements that can all simultaneously be true.
