we are all SUPERHEROES!!


Who are these so called superheroes (we consider them fictional) who do supernatural acts and who we all have admired at one time or another? Who are these fictional characters that we flock to in millions to see in these Hollywood movies? Who is this Superman character really? What is this Batman character’s real identity? Who is this Spiderman person really and who is this Wonder Woman person? Even though all of these characters may be so called “fictional” they actually do exist. Yes, I just said that all of the superheroes that we flock to see in save the world in movies and shows do exist. You may be wondering why a grown man like me would even make a statement like that or if you simply believed me off the back, you may be wonder where you could find these supernatural characters. The answer to these questions may be easier then one may think. All of these superheroes actually exist in the most real place ever to us all. They exist within us, this is where they’ve always been and this is where they always will be. This is why as kids we idolized them so much (our children know what they are doing when they idolize superheroes. They have it right, we are the ones who believe in falseness {fear} not them). The word “idol” means a “god” so in turn an idol really is a god to us whether one wants to admit this as fact or not.

We idolize these characters for the same reason we idolize anybody, we ether want the greatness that these characters have within ourselves or we simply we want to just be these great characters. It simply feels right looking up to these characters because we feel a very personal connection with them. We felt their essence inside of our souls, we feel their strength within our grasp and a lot of us can even visualize ourselves doing what these superheroes do on a day to day basis. Superman fell from the sky and was raised by regular people so one would think that he would just accept a “regular” life style. That isn’t what he did at all; what he did was first plummet from the sky (he fell from the heavens like some type of god) as a child, grew up among the “regular people” and then after all of that and after realizing who and what he really was he made a decision to use his superhuman abilities to become a hero and save the people who dwelled in his “fictional” world. Superman is probably the most popular superhero of all because he basically embodies everything that we all want within ourselves. He is supernatural and superhuman. He is able to do just about anything he wants, he is basically invincible but still after all of that power that he harnesses he still chose to help the world be saved He’s superhuman and this means he can do anything he wants but he chooses to selflessly help others, as super as he is he still sees himself in us all and this is why he chooses to help. He sees himself in us all and gives help to all that needs it without asking for anything in return just as God does.

This is what we all want within us and quiet frankly this is what we all honestly have within us already. This rule goes for everyone else we look up to as well whether they are super human or not. They are idols (gods) to us and we want what they have with them (godliness) within ourselves. If we didn’t want the power which we feel they have within ourselves then we wouldn’t idolize them at all. Some people go as far as simply wanting to be the people who they idolize. They don’t realize that they already are that person who they idolize in such a great way. We see greatness in all of the famous people and all of the celebrities we look up to. We see that they themselves are idolized by others as well and we want that feeling, we see that it seems they have more power and freedom then us (a lot of the times this isn’t the case but this is what we see) because of the influence they have on people like us. We want to feel that “important” and “influential” feeling within ourselves and within our very own lives. We see greatness in our idols and a lot of times we feel that they are greater then us but this truly isn’t the case at all. They aren’t “better” then us in any shape, size, or form and everything that they achieve we can do as well in even greater measures then they do. So in turn it is okay to admire or look up to greatness in people (fictional or real) but in turn we should realize that every one of us is able to achieve all of the greatness (fictional or real. Never close your mind to possibilities) which they’ve achieved ourselves. We have the Divine within us so this gives us an unlimited power. We just need to believe in that and simply go with it. We wouldn’t even be able to perceive greatness at any level if we didn’t have it within ourselves. Keep on admiring greatness but know that we are One with all idols, we are One with what we consider great so we ourselves are the idols that we look up to. It’s all within Us already. We ourselves are the “saviors” they we are looking for, it truly is US. We are One with our Idols so this means that we are One with God (Love).

Namaste
