ARE YOU RACING FOR HOME??

IN THE LAST FEW DAYS WE HAVE UPLOADED A TRACK CALLED “RACING FOR HOME” TO REIGNITE SOME INTEREST IN THIS PAGE AS THE COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS BEGINS AGAIN IN EARNEST.

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY YOU ARE DEAD AND THIS IS WHAT THE CATHOLICS CALL PURGATORY, A PLACE WHERE SOULS TRUE MOTIVATIONS ARE TESTED TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY END UP IN HEAVEN OR HELL?

THE REASON I RAISE THIS PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTION IS THAT AS CHRISTMAS APPROACHES PEOPLE CHANGE TEMPORARILY. THEY BECOME NICER MORE CARING PEOPLE. FOR A WHILE. THEY SPEAK TO THEIR NEIGHBOURS. THEY STOP RUSHING AROUND LIKE HEADLESS CHICKENS.

MANY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD BELIEVE IN SOME FORM OF REICARNATION AND IF YOU ARE ONE OF THEM HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THE EXTREMELY OBVIOUS POINT THAT IF YOU HAVE LIVED BEFORE THEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE DIED AT LEAST ONCE SO THIS MUST BE SOME FORM OF AFTERLIFE?

WHAT KIND OF AFTERLIFE WORLD ARE WE CREATING?ARE WE HEADING FOR HEAVEN OR HEADING FOR HELL?

  PERHAPS THE WHOLE POINT OF ANY AFTERLIFE, IF THERE IS ONE, IS THAT IT WILL BE WHAT WE ALL MAKE IT.

IF WE WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE A SPECIAL WORLD THEN WE MAY IN TIME CREATE HEAVEN.

IF WE CONTINUE TO LIVE IN THE SELFISH WAY WE PRESUMABLY DID IN OUR PREVIOUS LIVES THEN WE MAY CREATE HELL

I HAVE JUST WATCHED THE FILM GHOSTOWN WHICH PUT THESE PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTIONS INTO MY MIND AS THE MESSAGE IS WHEN YOU THINK OF OTHERS FIRST YOU GET RELEASED TO A BETTER WORLD AND A BETTER LIFE.

HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD PUT THEMSELVES SECOND TO SOMEONE ELSE’S NEEDS? UNTIL YOU LEARN TO THINK OF OTHERS UNCONDITIONALLY YOU CAN NEVER FIND YOUR OWN HAPPINESS. THIS IS NOT ABOUT GIVING TO CHARITIES IT IS ABOUT WHAT YOU DO AND DON'T DO EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE, NOT JUST AT CHRISTMAS!!

PERHAPS LUCK IS EARNED. THIS WORLD IS THE WAY IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF SO CALLED  BAD PEOPLE BUT BECAUSE THE SILENT MAJORITY- MOST OF US- THE “INNOCENT ONES” DO NOTHING.

WHEN A GOOD MAN DOES NOTHING EVIL IS DONE. SO CAN YOU PUT YOUR HAND ON YOUR HEART AND CALL YOURSELF GOOD OR DO YOU DO LITTLE OR NOTHING?

ARE YOU INNOCENT OR HAVE YOU DONE SO LITTLE THAT YOU CAN’T BE?

THIS IS WHAT THE TRACK "RACING FOR HOME" IS ABOUT AND AS THE SO CALLED SEASON OF GOODWILL APPROACHES IT SEEMS APPROPRIATE TO RAISE THESE QUESTIONS AS THIS WORLD WILL NOT BE SAVED BY POLITICIANS. IT WILL BE SAVED IF ENOUGH OF US COME OUT OF OUR SELFISH WORLDS AND START TO CARE AND TO DO THINGS TO MAKE THE WORLD BETTER RATHER THAN MOANING WITH THE REST OF THE SILENT AND EVIL MAJORITY.

TODAY SEEMS TO BE A GOOD TIME TO START AND KEEP ON GOING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, NOT JUST FOR CHRISTMAS!!

LET ME KNOW YOUR FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT I HAVE SAID AND DON’T BE AFRAID TO CHALLENGE AND DEBATE. WE CAN’T CREATE A SANE WORLD WITHOUT IT!!

ALL THE VERY BEST,
