CALLING; what an interesting word with so many uses and implications. I can still hear my mothers voice calling, from the back door of our little three room house, me and my brothers to come for dinner (lunch). We would in the fields toiling in the hot sun on our little farm. I can hear my dadd’y voice calling me to awaken, at 4:00 AM; I had ask him to do so that I might get into the woods squirrel hunting before daylight. I can reminiscence about all sorts of voices calling me at various times and circumstances.Those are conscious memories and each of you have had similar experiences. Many are nostalgic, many are sad, and each represents our own individual interpretation. In similar fashion, we hear people speak of a calling from God to do so and so. Those callings are based on the programming each personality has experienced with the underlying need or expectation of such a calling. For instance, we may hear someone say he/she got a calling to preach. In such a case, it is likely that persons personality has been per-programmed to subconsciously expect such a calling. If we are Christian, we must accept the fact that Jesus calls us to honor His two commandments; Love God with our all, and love (accept) our neighbor as ourselves. If we as a society ever come to universally honor that calling, there will be peace. Until then there will be nothing but strife. For a complete understanding of that and many, many more concepts, I would encourage you to read my powerful little book, Wilderness cry- a Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe; Amazon, Kindle and all on-line book retailers

RELATE- Wilderness Cry-Hilary L Hunt MD
The word relate means a general identity with someone, something, or some idea. I would like to talk today about how we relate to our Creator and to each other. Preachers of all sorts beat every word of the bible, both Old and New Testament, as though each word was the end all, be all, of everything. They hammer on each idea as though it were free standing and self sufficient for either our salvation or condemnation. Many of them concentrate on God’s mercy, which implies guilt on our part. What we are “guilty” of is being human; and who made us human? God. So how is it we are guilty of being what we were made to be? It all stems from the Old Testament concept of Justice: an eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth. That concept was perpetuated by Christians in the form of “original sin” which makes us guilty from the moment of conception. Of course guilt demands punishment in like degree. However, if we beg (pray) hard enough (how much is enough ?), God may show us mercy, I believe all that is a contrivance aimed at controlling us and extracting money and services from us to further their cause. Now lets get back to RELATE. Jesus gave us only two dicta to abide by; Love your God with your all, and love your neighbor as yourself. What that means is we must relate (accept) God in whatever conceptualization we can, and we must relate, (accept) our neighbor as we would like to be accepted. Jesus recognized humanities universal evil (selfishness) instilled in everything by God so His universe could function. He recognized God’s need of Perfect Love. He brought that Perfect Love to fruition by His own death. Jesus related to everything in existence and He related to His own generator, Eternal God. So God does not and has not shown mercy, He has shown us Perfect Love by accepting (relating) to us through the sacrificial death of Jesus. For a complete elucidation of that and everything related to your existence, I would encourage you to read my powerful little book, Wilderness Cry- a Scientific and Philosophical Approach to Understanding God and the Universe: Amazon, Kindle and all on-line book retailers.
Compass- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
As everyone knows, a compass gives us direction from our current location. It is used in various circumstances, and almost always, as a guide. That would represent a physical compass which is important indeed in our lives at various times and circumstances. There is another spiritual and/or moral compass that has been imposed upon mankind by governments and institutions throughout its’ history. That compass has been represented and imposed on us by various ideologies and/or religions. Each of those compasses point to a slightly or greatly different direction. Like a physical compass, these moral compasses impose serious consequences if not adhered to. If we ignore the direction given by a physical compass, we become lost. If we ignore the direction of an ideology or spiritual compass, we are punished by either physical and/or psychological torment. The physical torment may be any combination of fines, incarceration, flogging, or execution; all of these are temporary and tolerable (this too shall pass). The psychological, however, is permanent; we are lead to believe that we are evil and that eternal punishment in the form of damnation is inevitable if the dictates of the specific “moral” compass are not followed. The problem arises and becomes astounding when we realize there are 33,000 Christian compasses alone on earth, to say nothing of all other religions. Each if those thousands and thousands of moral compasses are pointing in a different direction. Is it possible that any one of them is pointing due North? Possible but not likely. The reason is clear; not a single one of them is pointing at the dicta of Jesus the Christ. Those two dicta to Love God with your all and love (accept) your neighbor as yourself are too simple to preach. They impart no power, money nor control on the compass. For that simple reason alone, the world is filled with strife and, sadly, will stay that way. The only way to get on the straight and narrow of the correct compass is for all the religions and ideologies to “get off their high horses”, and humbly acknowledge Jesus” two commands. For a complete elucidation of that and many, many other concepts, please read my powerful little book, Wilderness Cry- a scientific and philosophical approach to understanding God and the universe; Amazon, Kindle and all on-line book retailers.
DEATH- Wilderness Cry- Hilary L Hunt MD
What is death anyway and what happens at death. When any living thing dies, it is because respiration a and/or metabolic activity ceases. What happens then is my philosophy. I believe at death, all our accidents (all those qualities that make anything the specific individual that it is) cease to apply. What’s left is its’ essence (soul) which in my philosophy is a mirror image of its’ Creator, God. In order to thoroughly understand those concepts, you must read my little book, Wilderness-Cry; Amazon, Kindle and all major on-line book retailers.
