What If You Could Acquire The Power of A God In This World

This was the title of an email I received today.

My thoughts are in brackets and I chose the sarcastic viewpoint. If you don’t like sarcasm and think that you can have or acquire the power of a god you may be better off going somewhere else!

The choice is yours!

“Dear J,

Yes, I am serious about asking you this ultimate
question. Because it is the one key to attaining
everything you ever desire in life! (Really?? So let me get this right! The only way for me to attain everything I desire is to have the power of GOD??)

Most people don’t even know what they are here
in this world for, (Do you? Other than sending strange emails??) and what they are capable of. (If you are capable of what you proclaim to be capable of, then why the need to email me about it?  Wouldn’t your life be complete??)
The truth is, you have more power in your possession
than you have ever imagined! (How do you know what I have ever imagined?? Of course!! You have the power of GOD! How could I forget!!)

All you need is the knowledge to access and fully use this power! (Which for the right price you are going to grant me access to, right??)

And you can too… (Thought so!!)

When you learn the Secrets of Reality Creation (How many more secrets can there be?? Would some honesty be out of the question??)
which is really the knowledge of God, because God
or Infinite Intelligence (Which is it? God or infinite intelligence?? Make your mind up!!) does everything with the
power of creation, you will be able to live life in
this world like a god (I’d prefer not to have that kind of responsibility thank you!), having mastery over everything
in life.

It is the highest state of existence that any living
being can achieve. (How do you know?? Are you talking from experience??)

Start shaping reality at will and have total control
even over space, time and matter. (You are telling me that by reading your book or whatever it is that you are trying to sell me, I am able to control space, time and matter?? Wow! Why haven’t you been on the news yet?? This is the breakthrough of all breakthroughs and yet you have to email people about it!! Why not exercise some of this control yourself??)

You’re just a click away… (I am not so sure about that!!)

A recovering thinker!

It started out innocently enough.
I began to think at parties now and then — to loosen up.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone — “to relax,” I told myself — but I knew it wasn’t true.
Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was thinking all the time. That was when things began to sour at home.

One evening I had turned off the TV and asked my wife about the meaning of life.
She spent that night at her mother’s.

I began to think on the job.
I knew that thinking and employment don’t mix, but I couldn’t stop myself.
I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau and Kafka.
I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, “What is it exactly we are doing here?”

One day the boss called me in. He said, “Listen, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don’t stop thinking on the job, you’ll have to find another job.”

This gave me a lot to think about. I came home early after my conversation with the boss.
“Honey,” I confessed, “I’ve been thinking…”
“I know you’ve been thinking,” she said, “and I want a divorce!”
“But Honey, surely it’s not that serious.”
“It is serious,” she said, lower lip aquiver. “You think as much as college professors, and college professors don’t make any money, so if you keep on thinking, we won’t have any money!”

“That’s a faulty syllogism,” I said impatiently.

She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.
“I’m going to the library,” I snarled as I stomped out the door.

I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche.
I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors…

They didn’t open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.
Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye. “Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?” it asked.

You probably recognize that line.
It comes from the standard Thinker’s Anonymous poster.
Which is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting.

At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was “Porky’s.” Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home.

Life just seemed…easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking.

I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today, I registered to vote as a Republican…
