Essay 17: A Problem of Prayer and Blind Faith for Missy.
Young Sheldon’s Quest for Something Higher than Blind Faith.
Humanity’s problem is that it too, is on a quest of something higher than blind faith.

On Thursday night, I was taking a short break from my ‘work’ by flipping through the channels on the Comcast service that I pay to much for because it has really slow internet speeds and they lie a lot and change the contract terms in the middle of a contract. I was supposed to be getting Showtime, but now I do not get Showtime because they moved things around which should not be part of the contract. But I do not own Comcast so I have no say in the matter of how they change the terms of their contracts in the middle of a contract. They did the same thing with my smartphone service contract, but no need to go into details about that because I am sure many of my readers have experienced the same thing with their modern day contracts with Comcast.
Anyway, as I was flipping through the channels I came across a show titled, “Young Sheldon.” which is about a young boy named Sheldon who was the grown up in the Big Bang television series. But just like contracts which can be changed at a moments notice, the television’s show was supposed to be about an adult science genius when in fact the actor was just a male adult faggot who was an actor on the television show. He had no idea what he was talking about on the show when he was talking science of any kind because he was only an actor reading lines and he made a lot of many doing it too. I realize that many readers may not like the word faggot but I do not care about that at all. After all, it is my essay.
So anyway, I almost flipped it off of the Young Sheldon show until I saw that the young Sheldon’s sister was praying to God to help her hit a baseball when she was at the baseball plate. She looked up at the sky and she talked to the sky as if there was a God up there somewhere who was listening to the young girl’s prayer with regard to hitting a baseball. This is a practice that many adults sports players do too I am guessing.
The show went on with the discussion about having faith, blind faith, in God helping the young lady who was in the show at the batter’s cage trying to hit a baseball. Hum! I could not resist watching the whole show because the topic was interesting esp. on national television and I also needed something to write about anyway. Writing about something like a topic about having blind faith in God seems ok when millions of people are watching the show and the main topic is having blind faith in God or praying to God blindly which is what millions or hundreds or billions of people do anyway everyday of their lives.
In the very small town that I live in now, there are 22 churches from what I have been told by a newspaper person who actually counted all of the churches in town as she drove around town. I do not think many people actually go to a Christian church anymore for all sorts of logical reasons, like no one prays or begs a mystical God in the sky for medical help when there are all sorts of medical people on the ground who are willing to help anyone who has money, or insurance to give money to the medical people. But I am sure that many people still beg a mystical God for help even if they have good medical insurance.
I not think that those people are living in a modern state of advanced understanding within the human mind and consciousness because they are begging for help from a mystical God which is what people did in the old days when they did not understand weather patterns, how the human biological body works, nothing about physics and even how the human brain and mind operates which is still partly a mystery to some people even still today. Plus the human brain and mind can not usually see beyond its very limited visual way of perceiving the world on earth and beyond.
So the young girl is standing on the batter’s plate just waiting to hit a baseball which is being thrown from a boy baseball pitcher when she looks up to the sky and she asks God for help to hit a homerun. Of course, because it is a television show, she hits the baseball out of the baseball park, which of course leads the show and actors down the same path that many human beings face everyday of the week.
Did God actually help the girl Missy hit it out of the baseball out of the baseball park or was it just luck or even skill on her part? Or was it a one time answer from the invisible God up there in the sky somewhere? Of course she gains a higher religious faith until she no longer hits a baseball for another home run. Then she loses her faith not only in the practice of prayer but also in God, which seems really unfair to God if you ask me. Because Missy lost faith in God because she could not hit a baseball out the baseball park again, she also rejects the cross her mother have her at the begging of the show. The cross was a sign of faith which her mother has all during the show, but not Missy.
On the other hand, during the show, Sheldon and his older brother were trying to make money by doing stuff of make money, like playing with fire and chemicals in a boys like fashion in the local school. Missy would never do anything like that, but she probably will never pray to a mystical God again on the show anyway. But Sheldon is the little boy scientist who tries to understand everything there is to know about the world through the lens of science. In other words, young Sheldon is trying to understand the world instead of having blind faith in it.
I bet that many viewers, maybe millions of Americans anyway, still pray to a mystical God instead of truly understanding not only God but they also do not understand anything about the world on any level of consciousness, partly because they have been brainwashed to believe that there is a personal mystical God up in the sky somewhere that will help them during the course of the day and during the course of their lives too. If they truly understand even a tiny little bit about God, they would know better than to have complete blind faith instead of having a complete understanding, especially a spiritual understanding about what God is mentally.
But even so! There is a very sharp dividing line between modern day human beings who live in an age of physical science, (all of the sciences) and those who only want to believe that their lives are based on a connection with a God somewhere and they do it all by faith, by blind faith.
And yet, blind faith does not work in the modern age of science. That means all of the modern day understanding that the human brain and mind and consciousness has discovered by various means throughout the last hundreds of years or so has actually not only changed the outward world of material living, but it has also change the structure within the brains, minds, and states of consciousness within many human beings, but not all human beings. But has any real understanding about a God really changed in over 2000 or more years compared to the modern day understanding of the laws of physics for example? Maybe the real question for the television show and everyone in real life is this.
When will there be a radical change in the understanding of God in the new age of modern day sciences? Could there be an actual better understanding about God that the majority of the masses, billions of human brains and minds, could grasp mentally to become more godlike instead of more animal like? More monkey like? It really seems to me, with my great knowledge of many topics but also of some common sense if you will, that many human beings still want to act like human monkeys instead of becoming advanced human beings in this modern age of not only scientific understanding, but also in this modern age of higher levels and states of consciousness too.
I realize that human beings exercise to stay in physical shape. Some do it by climb rocks and mountains. Some people like to bike or jog or lift weights, etc. That is fine because biological exercise is really good for the human body. But climbing mountains with ropes is a bit much to prove to oneself that playing with dying and death is a good thing for any human being. I have never climbed a mountain with only ropes and my fingers and I never plan on doing it. Why? Because I do not want to play with death in that way. Some people like to play with death and then they actually die an early death when they should have lived longer.
Some people play with politics in the same way they play with death and then they pray to a mystical God to help them win an national election. They simply use their religious emotions instead of rational thought and higher levels of intelligence to truly understand existence, political existence, on multi-dimensional levels of consciousness. The funny thing is that many people with PhDs think that they know everything or think that they are really smarter than non-PhDs when in fact sometimes do not know hardly anything at all. Just like people who go to church and pray to a mystical God because they think they know something about God because they read the Bible and say a lot of religious blind faith words when in fact but they know nothing whatsoever about God.
I actually have sister who has a PhD in English. She is also a nurse for many years in various nursing jobs. I would not want that job at all. But are you ready for this my dear readers. She ordered me to vote for Biden or she was never going to talk to me again. Like never! Really? I told her. She is a nurse worker which means that she is not in any political or economical job and she knows little to nothing about political and economic events and situations; especially political and economical situations and there she was, hysterically ordering me to vote for Biden with blind faith because she hated Trump with an emotional passion that the religious people use when they pray to their mystical God. She had no idea what she was talking about, just the people who go to church to pray to an unknown God. They do not actually know anything about God but they pray anyway.
To combine the matter if more so, there are people in America who use blind faith in both in church and when they go the to voting booths. They pray that someone will be elected into office based solely on blind faith when in fact they do not know anything about politics or economics or international issues and problems affairs either. How crazy is that for the future of America?
People go to church because it makes them feel good. So what? People also vote with their emotions and sometimes they feel good when they vote with their emotions, but they do not feel to good when the person they elected into office turns out to be really dumb. That is a not a so what response. America’s economic situation is heading towards a huge and very long cliff because people did not like Trump when Trump was pro-American, pro-business, and anti-terrorist, etc. Inflation or inflations as I like to think of it is raising prices in everything everyday in America. People are quitting their jobs, supplies are disappearing or they are on the surface of the ocean’s waters. Merry Christmas to all of those morons who voted for Biden and his staff.
Missy felt good after that first home run baseball hit out of the park. People feel good when they go to church and pray to an mystical God and they sings songs to it too, just the tribes of old did thousands of years ago. People felt good when the economy was busting at the seams and people had jobs, and no food worries, and cheaper gas. Missy is to young to worry about that stuff because her parents pay for everything in their household. But even young and innocent Missy still lives in an age of scientific understanding, both in the show and in real life as an actor.
Blind faith is not good when it comes to God, to political emotions, to economic decisions; either for a nation or the world at large. The human species pays a huge price for blind faith. Terrorists belief in their blind faith in God and they rape and murder people, sometimes after torturing them. Religious people also do bad things even if they have their own blind faith. Voters in America vote with blind faith too, more often then not. Why? Because they do not want to understand real political theory or the reality of politics and economics in the real world.
When I was a young boy, I played baseball for one season. I was not good at it I guess or I thought it was very boring. Instead I wanted to understand stuff, like what was the Bible really about and what was the world of money really about, and what was the world of politics really about, and what was the cosmic universe, and what was all the stuff about the Big Bang, and maybe most important, how did my brain work and why was I having a millions supernatural experiences at such an early age. Now that I am older I truly understand a lot of stuff. Really!
But even at that young age, I saw that really most human beings rely only on blind faith for so many things and they still do rely on blind faith. That is very bad because unlike the television show, earthly reality is not a ‘what if’ when millions and billions of human beings rely on blind faith when they should understand the deep issues of life, death, politics, economics, and even their own souls before they die. Maybe there is still hope for the human species? Maybe! But just remember this, the cliff is always there, just waiting for the human species to fall down it!
