Description
Oh, life is bigger
It's bigger
Than you and you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this
The hint of the century
Consider this
The slip that brought me
To my knees failed
What if all these fantasies
Come flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry
Why try?
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream
Dream
Song and lyrics by REM, Picture, Self portrait, before and after the crucifixion. before the throne. i thought i was losing my Religion Oh Father. Maybe i have, it is over
Are you losing your religion?
''John Lennon''
I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right.
''Gandhi''
There is no religion higher than truth and Righteouness." Morality is prized by almost all the great religions of the world.
''Dalai Lama''
This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Thank you ivettk for the kind compliment on this Visualisation.
I think Science has Destroyed Faith in most people minds. There are more Atheists in the world, especially the western world. they only believe in a single existence, 'this one'' as being their life, meaning that they only rely on what they have around them, possessions and materialism - technology, is their God and saviour. They do not class, God, as a higher being, or a supreme, divine power. most people will say, there's no such thing as, 'a God'.. why? because Science has become God.
So what is god? is god a Concept by which we measure or lives? maybe in the past, the concept of God, was the almighty, the creator of all life, the creator of time, space and the universe. people once feared good and evil, 'heaven, hell'' we were once god fearing people. All Religions, as you well know is purely built out of faith but beliefs fade because of changes in Discovery, inventions, following a more physical element than something we cannot, see, hear, smell, touch, taste and quite frankly, humans are more aware of evolution, how everything works around them, they want to know how life really began instead of just relying on a biblical story that cannot be proven, this is down to Science and civilisation...so Is God a control mechanism? Has religion always just been a method to control humans? what do you think?
Personally i think it's good to believe in a higher power, a divine force, i would like to believe in a spirit, a soul, i want to believe that there is an existence beyond this one. i believe also ivettk, that there will never be peace and harmony on earth because this reality is a negative Hellish reality, look at the corruption in each country, the corrupt business leaders, the corrupt politicians, the mega wealthy and abstract poverty, the wars, torture, abuse towards each other and to nature, the environment. It seems all those who have the wealth, and get into positions of power are the most evil, corrupt, hypocritical people that lie and cheat, cause starvation and servitude. In these times, no one should go hungry or be destitute but it happens, the abuse on innocent Women and children in some countries is hellish, the abuse on Animals in some countries is abhorrent, do you think God really allows this to happen? the human race Murdered the Trinity through Jesus when he was crucified, we were condemned from that point on. God forsaken this earth a long time ago..it is down to the individual now to change and coordinate the soul for the next divine Reality because this reality is finished but that's if you coordinate your Spiritual Transient body. that is what i believe, there are too many lost souls now on earth with no spirit.
Thank you for your thoughts too.

Afraid of the World
All I can do
Is cry and curl
I'm full of feelings-but they are just mine
Emotions i try-but was in vane, to share
Emotions inside
They are feelings, babe.
Disconnected from life
That World you see
It is no longer
Inside of me
I don't care anymore
You left me a shore
You pushed me on the floor.
Your love isn't as strong and true
As I thought it would be
So goodbye forever and never
you will see.

There's nothing wrong with being a Roman Catholic. in actual fact, it's actually good to know you have faith and treat it as an important part of their life. Religion is slowly being phased out by Science in the wealthy, Atheist, western world

I'm so glad to here that Girl. younger generations have this Atheist mind set, that they're so sure there is nothing beyond this existence. how can they think like that and be so sure? i'm a very transient spiritual believer meaning that our true spiritual energy\soul is our true forms and we only occupy our mortal physical bodies until it's time to transcend.

Exactly Girl, i really do not understand these Atheists. kind if annoys me slightly, because they believe they're so sure. i am 100% sure of an existence beyond this one. You're OK, no need for depression, you got Faith.

Ah it's OK, i tell you, there's a lot of idiots out there that are beyond Twenty and they're so Dysfunctional and that's all down to standard education. i think home schooler's are far more switched on.

I understand you my dear friend , yes, in our time it’s tough, and all the delights of the world are set so that we lose faith and for us to destroy ourselves, having lost faith the greatest charms that are now destroying as many people as possible are money and fame blinding people awakening in them the worst thing is pride, which in turn arouses hatred of other people and not only but also every other living exalting the blinded one who considers himself better than others exalts his greatness, and goes against each other destroying everything believing in his greatness and impunity, exalting himself with a deity, and that everything is possible for him, but having passed a short time after blinding he falls into a terrible depression that causes fear and paranoia which lead to severe drug addiction and alcoholism and also lead to suicide ultimately death and ruined souls as a result of previously committed sins, during blinding resulting in eternal torment, and so this mechanism works for our destruction, in simple words of temptation, that are sent to destroy us, so be careful my dear friend as there are many temptations around us, and most importantly, won't succumb to them with how sweet they were, and do not lose faith but believe and remember that only repentance and humility will save us and the whole world, and take care of yourself and do not lose faith

Thank you for your wonderful poignant comment my dear friend. Many people in these times only live for profit, materialism and have very little faith. i agree with everything in your comments ! it is best to show more kindness to each other, to animals and nature. i hope times will change for the human race and we can live in peace and harmony with each other !

I completely agree with you, but I also hope that people wake up from this nightmare of benefits and consumption and there will be more faith and a person will again begin to live in love hormone, both by itself, and by animals and nature and will again take the true path
