It has now been several years since the Matrix series of movies were first released. Since that time there have been many articles, posts, and YouTube videos concerning the fact that many believe or postulate that we may indeed be living in some type or form of created scenario. Meriam-Webster defines a matrix as the following:: something within or from which something else originates, develops, or takes form.

The Physical and the Mental. Our physical world encompasses everything from strings to multi universes. I love to follow the thoughts from the early Atomists like Leucippus and Democritus to modern-day astrophysicists like Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson and physicists like Dr. Michio Kaku and Stephen Hawking. There are also hundreds of others that paved the way to our look into the physical soul of the universe.

When you were growing up didn’t you believe that the sky was the limit? When someone asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, did you say something like; I want to be a fireman or maybe an astronaut.

Are you really happy with your connection or are you going through the motions because someone else said you would be happy if you followed their path? Each new year brings billions of people hope that this one will be better. It is a time of review for what did or didn’t work last year so that adjustments can be made. Changes to jobs, relationships and self-image run through our minds. Promises will be made to ourselves with the intention of keeping them fully and faithfully.

At the end of the day. Which day you may ask? Is the end of one day really any different than the rest? Think about it.We have our dreams that keep us going until they do not. Day to day life tends to wear us down so that we lose complete site of our goals. How many of us out there actually live our life doing what we really wanted to do? Unfortunately, I would venture to say that the majority of us are not, we are all just basically living.

We as human beings must be given the chance to care about ourselves. What's it gong to take for us to be able to do that?

GOD’S IMAGE “So God created man in his own image…” GOD created us with everything that He has. The first truth each of us must come to terms with is, what is the image of GOD that we believe in?
