God is in everything... Love, nature, Art, inspiration, emotion, animals, mystery, the sky, the obscure, food, hope, a great movie or song, the universe, all creation, friends and family. God speaks to us everyday through all these things..if we only watch and listen for them.. you know where God is when you see Love. She / He is Spirit, not some religion that man thought up or an angry guy with a white beard waitng to punish people for their mistakes... If you doubt there is a God, Creation itself will help you understand..(read some science) everything is prefectly set up on this planet for life to grow; a few degrees closer to the sun we would burn up a few degrees further, we would freeze..plants, fruit, animals, beauty. we are set up for living in soooo many ways... i am not hear to argue God's existance. like i said, creation is the proof. If there is creation, there is a Creator.
God is not male or female, God is not any race..God is Spirit.. God is what is shown to you personally, God is whatever you need right now...God IS NOT a list of rules, or types of prayers or a building or dead worthless traditions that you need to practice or dressing a certain way..GOD IS NOT RELIGION!!!! God is creative, never doing anything the same way twice. God does Not want a bunch of clones following him. he wants people to be who they were truely meant to be...themselves!!
WIDE is the gate that leads to destruction and most of the world enters through it (because MOST people are weak-minded followers who will do whatever T.V. tells them) but Narrow is the path that leads to life and only a few will enter it. (because you can only do it through Him) Jesus is the narrow gate. Now i know what most are thinking when they hear "jesus"...church, hypocrites, rules and tight-ass people..but jesus can take you way beyond all of that bullshit! He can bring you to a place where you become the wind, the sky, and pure Hope... He is the Only mediator between man and God. you might think this sounds dogmatic and rigid, but the truth is, JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE~ and Eternal Life begins NOW, through Him; not just after you die. note; before i Truely saw through the Spirit, these words didn't mean anything to me...but they have since, become very living words that create their very own movie and music in my heart and mind. Jesus Loves everyone the same, if they know him or not...its a free gift of Love, the closer you get the more Love fills you.. Religion killed christ... Jesus did not come to die for another religion to be made...he came to die so that we might all recieve the HOLY SPIRIT so that we could be in RELATIONSHIP with God.. a living, day to day, real relationship.. and escaping torment for eternity in hell.. which is also why jesus came. If you haven't asked jesus to come into your heart you are already in hell and headed to that place.. your mind is blinded to the things of the Spirit, but once you recieve Him The Holy Spirit will come upon u and peace will guide you forever with understanding.
in this world, everyone wants to be cool, on top, "live the dream" and will step on anyone who gets in their way. This is the way of "the world", this also is the way of weakness, leading you on a path of death and emptiness (taking your inspiration and vigor). Why do we still look for approval from other humans when we know they will let us down? people will always let you down.. we say to ourselves, "i'll be happy when i find my other half, or when i get more $$$ or something else..but there is a hole in everyone of us that can only be filled by the Father of Light..the one who sneezed us into being..that is what The Spirit is for, For You..wouldn't you like to be free, whole, needing nothing from other people??? wouldn't you like to be able to bring love and yourself to others without some alterior motive? Or be so full of love and inspiration that it changes the mood and aptmosphere anywhere you go.. you can become anything you dream,... through Him.
God does not punish us for what we do...Sin is its own reward. It brings "death" to our lives (kills our inspiration and/ or hope)
The way of the Spirit is always opposite of the way of the world. "he who seeks to save his life, will lose it. the man who gives it away finds eternal life..the kingdom of heaven is always ass-backwards to the world's way..he who becomes the least and seeks to raise up others will be the greatest among you.. to the world this sounds insane, but this is God's perfect law and only requires faith of a little child. this is not hard, please don't let your ego keep you from Eternal Life. This can be freeing, God loves because He is Love..NO MATTER WHAT YOU EVER DO!.... you can have Life that is a living river constantly flowing out of your belly filling you up with pure energy, and Love.
Real Love- that empowers you and inspires you to want to give to others, give apart of you, and the Life that will naturally flow out of you. you won't have to fake anything, (like you've seen on T.V. or at some religious church)
But through Him, you will become Love. And that love will give Life to everything it touches- the same Life that resurrected jesus to the Father.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Why? because he layed down his life for everyone else. who in all the religions of the world has ever showed us true love? Nobody. period. He prayed for those who tortured him and loved the un-lovely, healing the sick and hanging out with the scum of the earth. i'm not religious at all, i don't go to church right now, my relationship is not a list of rules, it is based on what i believe the holy spirit is speaking to me. i just know God personally by spending time with her/him. she is living now and waits for someone to speak to, love and grow with. the only real way in this life is helping the weak and making yourself a servant to the least. anything else is total worthlessness that will leave you empty and scrambling for more, more, more, more, more....
it's never enough. you can become Real Love through Him who first Loved us.
Forget what you've seen from religion or false followers who say they know christ and can't even be the original person that God made them to be, because its just another fad (religion) or identity to them. they may have asked jesus to come into their life, but the only way they could have been Real Love was through Him. and when i say "through Him" i mean, what you are focusing on...someone who really knows God will be original, compelling, cutting edge, and most of all have real Love, the only way one can attain this type of love that overtakes them, is through jesus. Think for yourself, don't base God on humans and hypocrites (humans will always fall short) but God is perfect, and will always be there for you. follow your heart and dis-reguard this weak, fake ass world that helps no-one but its SELF. but please don't talk against Him if you've never opened your whole heart to him...like the old saying goes, don't knock it, till you've tried it.
jesus is real, the living Spirit, that can speak and move in your everyday life, at any time. for all time.
open your heart to the living God who will meet you where ever you are and accept you completely,..revealing himself to you in a special way so you can see what the Spirit is "to you". God wants everyone to have their own personal revelation of His omnipotent beauty, and once you have that, nobody can ever judge or violate it. i write this because Jesus Christ wants to Love you, heal you, and set you free. He will take away the loneliness and give the Life that is more abundant. He wants to give you a whole new perspective of who and what God is..the deeper you press into Him the less you will see with old eyes and a new way of seeing Him and life will begin. God wants to get you high.. YES, HIGH, above all the worries of this world... It is God's will that you be whole; mentally, physically, and spiritually~ To be in peace and experience the pleasures that are forever at his right hand! he yearns for your love and to show you ALL truth, ...please accept this invitation and give him a chance to prove himself to you, an eternal family awaits you.. and your life will never be the same...

Hi Brandon! Compilation album released soon and is sounding great! Your track for the compilation fits in perfectly with everything else! Sorry i haven't been in touch, i've been quite busy, but i don't forget about you! HA! HA! Speak soon! Anthony
we are no big fans of automated comments, but we too have to sleep sometimes, so for the sake of our physical and mental health we just had to hire a robot this time... we hope you'll understand this.
The reason for us bothering you is that our album "Rise" is out and now ready for shipping! You can get your copy at our myspace page or Tympanik Audio
