"Awakening" a poem by Charles Anthony Hood

Because I was raised in a cult,

The experience made me…

Agnostic—unsure of what the…

Ultimate truth is or could be.

I have researched religious ideologies:

Pentecostal, Baptist, Methodist, The Church of God,

Salvation Army, Non-denominational, Catholicism,

Unitarian Universalism, The Church of Satan,

The Church of Christ, Universal Life Church,

The Church of Reality, The Church of the Universe,

Atheism, Monotheism, Polytheism,

Pantheism—it is an intriguing idea.

If the Universe is all that exists,

We are not just Human beings…

We are the Universe.

If the Universe is God,

Then we are also God.

But what if God does transcend the universe—

Both permeate and transcend existence?

Panentheism is the idea that God both…

Permeates and transcends existence.

There are millions of ideas about God.

We’ve had ideas about God since ancient times.

Consider the Ancient Greeks:

They believed in their Gods and Goddesses…

Just as fervently as many modern religious people…

Believe in their traditions—now it’s “Greek Mythology.”

Humanity has barely scratched the surface…

When it comes to our span of existence.

The dinosaurs reigned over earth for millions of years.

We haven’t even made it to a million years,

But we are already killing the Earth…

And ourselves with pollutants and poisons.

Will Humanity go extinct, or…

Will we survive long enough to…

Learn how to populate other planets?

Will our primitive, archaic thinking…

Doom us to ultimate destruction?

So, you ask, “Does God exist?”

“Yes,” is my reply. “And we are it!”

Human beings are the Gods of earth now,

But whether our reign shall continue…

Will depend upon the awakening of civilization.

Tell me about “The Gray Man” concept.

The Gray Man concept originates from various contexts, including military, survival, and social interactions. It generally refers to the idea of blending in or remaining unnoticed in a crowd or environment. This strategy can be particularly useful for individuals seeking to avoid drawing attention to themselves, whether for safety, privacy, or tactical reasons. In military terms, the Gray Man concept emphasizes the importance of camouflage and stealth. Soldiers or operatives may adopt attire and behavior that allows them to blend into their surroundings, minimizing the risk of detection by the enemy. This can involve wearing neutral colors, adopting local customs, and behaving in a manner that seems typical for the environment, thereby reducing the likelihood of being singled out. In survival scenarios, the Gray Man approach can also be applied. People may choose to dress in a way that does not attract attention, especially in situations where they might be perceived as vulnerable or ...

Tell me about the 7 principles of the Unitarian Universalist Church.

The Unitarian Universalist (UU) Church is founded on a set of principles that guide its members in their spiritual and ethical lives. These principles reflect a commitment to individual exploration and the shared pursuit of justice, compassion, and understanding. The principles, often shared in congregations, are not hierarchical but interdependent, affirming the importance of each in the life of a community. The first principle emphasizes the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This principle values every human being, recognizing that all individuals deserve respect and justice, fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated. It encourages members to advocate for those whose rights are often overlooked and to acknowledge the unique perspectives each person brings to the community. The second principle emphasizes justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. It encourages individuals to act with fairness and empathy, recognizing the interconnectedness o...

Dear Followers…

Hello everyone, I appreciate all the likes, comments, and follows, etc. I am grateful for all who’ve decided to respond to my character “Charlie Donut.” He is a kind, simple man who doesn’t always understand reality. He loves to talk about his dreams. It has been a great joy for me to play “Charlie Donut” and write my content. When I started playing “Charlie Donut,” I thought no one would notice me amongst the millions of other artists creating things. I figured I would just create something and see what happens. To my surprise, I started gaining a small following. It is still small, and I think that is OK. I have some plans coming up for Charlie Donut. I am thankful for social media as a creative outlet. The followers who watch and comment are wonderful. Sometimes, I get insulting comments, but I don’t take them personally because those people are insulting my character. Anyway, I started my social media career with little expectation of response or success. I want to crea...
