Painting title: "I Dream of Freedom - the Devil's Final Hour" by Elizabeth Dallee www.elizabethdallee.net
In reality, we are the creators of all our life events. Deep inside us, we know this and accept it. We know that there is no help coming from outside or above or wherever else than... inside of us. If we are not responsible enough to realize that we are the creators of our life events, our Paradise or Hell that we live in, we will never get this "help" we are craving for.
Some years ago, while I was at a friend's house (he is about 80) he made me read a page from a sacred book where it was declare that God is only inside of us!
The ancient Greeks said that it is not enough to ask for God's assistance but we also need to act. Why? Just because God is a part of us...
Then this Sufi poem comes to my mind: "They dance... they spin... and they make the world spinning arround them". Therefore... as the gods or Gods we are, we create our lives.
Even Jesus Christ said that we are potential Gods... Why? He said something we do not ever want to understand... we are of the same material as God... we just don't want to understand and allow ourselves to live something more than the common human life...
Finally, there is nothing more to accept than the Dreamer's phrase "The world is such because... you are such!" in order to understand that the sole ruler of life... is us individualy. We are creating our own Paradise or our own Hell. The decision is only ours.
The phrase itself (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito_ergo_sum) is more complicated than it seems. First of all there are many ways to read it depending the philosophy under which we examining it. One that it's mostly favorite to me is the "our thoughts create our own reality". There is an other one that we could use "if you don't think then either you have mastered your mind or you are dead. Nothing can be created without thinking but nothing great will be created by thinking" by the Tibetan book of the dead.
But lets think... if God (as we know in the Bible) was thinking on creating the world and He would have not used His Word "Let there be Light!" then the whole Creation would have been postponed.
In all esoteric and philosophical schools the 1st stage is to learn (think) the 2nd to use (act) and the 3rd by having as default the 1st and the 2nd to create.
Thinking is not enough... thinking may result to postponing actions and finally postponing the Creation of a Paradise we deserve to ourselves.
