A note from the heart

A note for a friend. (You know who you are)

The western term of 'fight your fears' is drastically irrelevant in terms of philosophical life. As I have mentioned in the messages I send you in my utmost sincerity, I have explained that fear is the driving force in a human's subconscious mind in making decisions. Decisions are made based on three notions; Rational thinking, natural instinct and the 'soft mind' called the soul. The human mind was created simply as a medium to solve any problems that is faced by the specific species. When you are itchy, the mind tells you to scratch. When your body is full of waste, the mind tells the body to excrete it out. And the key goal of the mind is none but one- to achieve a solution that is simplified.

You chose to blame on your emotions. It is a simplified solution. Simply because, it is simple. Emotions are hard to control, they have a lot of underlying elements that is in relation to the decisions made. So it is easier to put the fault at a factor that can't be controlled.

Natural instinct can simply overcome the delicate balance of the soul and the mind. At the brink of survival, a human can simply kill another human in a civilised state. This is what theologist call, the 'dog-eat-dog' world.

Emotions are part of a derivative to the subconscious element of fear. It is easy to say, I do this because I am angry. For example, the Israel soldiers who asked an old Palestinian man to kiss his donkey's ass can based their actions simply because of the resentment they have on the Palestinians. I kill because I am angry. I cry because I am sad.

Do not take the simple road to solve a problem. What I mean when I message you, "Life is either like a cup of water, or a cup of water taken from the ocean" is that you are given a choice to choose to view your life in what perspective. Either you choose to take an easy way out and view your life as a small cup of water, or taking a rather difficult route but much wiser attempt by understanding the various elements affecting your life, and try and soul search the reason why such things happen in your life.

A case study I would like to share. A palestinian man was interviewed days after her new born child was killed in an Israel bombing back in the 90s. What he shared was proof that a mosaic life- a life of total acceptance, is realistic and not idealistic. He told the reporter that he accepts what God has given to him, and that he prays that the sins of the world are forgiven.

It is in this idealistic character, proven realistic by the Prophet pbuh, that is lacking in each individual. They lack the philosophical knowledge to delve deep in themselves and search not the solutions but the question, 'why' and 'how'. This is the part that you do not understand, and when the time comes, when it resurfaces again and again, then you will understand what I told you.

Blaming on overreaction is like taking a painkiller to cure a painkiller. It is a norm to the general public of the idea of painkillers curing a certain sickness. But doctors would argue that it only puts away the symptoms temporarily and it is up to the antibody system to create a strain of anti-virus to fight the virus.

So what im trying to say is that, instead of taking the chill pill, why not you take the vitamin C? Why not you have a balance diet, a healthy lifestyle, a case to prevent sickness from even coming? They say prevention is the best medicine.

Prevention is a knowledge. A knowledge evolved by people who delve deep into the understanding of the problem, and finding the questions 'why' and 'how'.

I say this because I care, you know that. I have seen what you have gone through, it pains me to see you like this, having to proof yourself worthy and sacrificing all the time, and you kept saying it makes you stronger. But how strong can a person be? How do you define strength? How do you measure it? No matter how strong you are, God is the strongest, and he will keep giving you tests after to test until you reach a point of self-realisation. A point where you submit yourself fully, and not trying to fight against it.

You have to ask yourself questions like 'why is this all happening to me' and 'how is it possible..'. May these questions guide you in your quest.

I say this only because I care and love you as a human close at heart. You must know that a good friend is there to listen, but a true friend is like a star, always guiding you in your journey. And a true friend only guides you to the right path, as it has been defined by God as Ad-din; the way of life. I care only for your true welfare. You know I'm always here praying for you and the whole world.

May Allah love you and bestow you strength. Amen.

PS: If only I was there for you earlier..

I went to God's clinic to have my routine check-up and I confirmed I was ill.

When God took my blood pressure, He saw I was low in tenderness.

When He read my temperature, the thermometer registered 40' of anxiety.

He ran an electrocardiogram and found that I needed several 'love bypasses' since my arteries were blocked with loneliness and could not provide for an empty heart.

I went to Orthopaedics because I could not walk by my brother's side and I could not hug my friends, since I had fractured myself when tripping with envy.

He also found I was shortsighted, since I could not see beyond the shortcomings of my brothers and sisters.

When I complained about deafness, the diagnosis was that I had stopped listening to God's voice talking to me on a daily basis.

For all of that, God gave me a free consultation thanks to His Mercifulness.

So my pledge is to, once I leave this clinic, only take the natural remedies He prescribed through His words of truth:

1) Every morning, take a full glass of Gratitude

2) When getting to work, take one spoon of Peace

3) Every hour, take one pill of Patience, one cup of Brotherhood and one glass of Humility

4) When getting home, take one dose of Love

5) When getting to bed, take two tablets of clear Conscience

Do NOT give in to sadness or desperation for what you are going through today

God knows how you feel . . .

God knows exactly and with perfection what is being allowed to happen to you in your life at this precise moment.

God's purpose for you is simply perfect.

He wants to show you things that only you can understand by living what you are living and by being in the place that you are now.


MY PRAYERS FOR YOU:

"May God give you . . .
For every storm, a rainbow;
For every tear, a smile;
For every care, a promise;
And a blessinig in each trial;
For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share;
For every sigh, a sweet song;
And an answer for each prayer."

God bless you. (",)
