Crash Landing 

I just remembered vividly that me and my family have gotten into a plane crash,  I have noticed that I and a couple of other boys crashed on a inhabited island.  I did not think much of it until I saw all the adults dead including my parents. It was a very nervous moment  I noticed some boys that looked like my age alive and well and not so injured.  I wasn't too sure if they were my age though....

I wish I could hangout with them....

I tried to talk to them but they kept pushing me away...

I realized this because of my appearance. The way I looked I was not cool or their style so they made me feel ashamed of myself. 

 Later on...I luckily found myself a little shelter to make a fire, to keep myself warm, I knew that I needed to learn how to survive somehow. Especially since were in an island. Who knew what was out there....

my child....

later on that night, when I was dreaming, I heard this voice slowly echoing in My head saying, " My child, do not be scared or worried, for I am your god. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand, I will prepare you my child." Isiah 41:10 was the chapter I could remember, from reading the bible nonstop. (Bible gateway)

Learning Religions 

When I woke up I couldn't help but wonder why I had that dream? was it a sign? did it just randomly pop up in my mind? No, there is purpose for dreams my mom always told me. If there was something going on or about to happen why would god give me an promise? I asked myself. I wasn't sure why this happened. All I knew was to just have faith and to keep trusting in God's word. 

Later that morning,  I was taking a stroll on the beach while still thinking about that unraveling voice that I dreamed about. Suddenly, I met a boy named Ralph who was also on the beach. We got to talk for a little bit and I think it's safe to call him friend, and someone who has not thought I was weird or different than other guys. I thought it was very peaceful for once in this island.

We went to this area around the beach and It was absolutely beautiful. I started to get comfortable around Jack. I told him about my weird dream last night. How it was off. And he said "oh, I have experienced something like that before but it felt more of a warning than a message." He told me to take that dream seriously because we don't know maybe it was a sign of something to be careful with. It seemed like this dream needed to be more serious.  So I took Ralph's suggestion and kept it to a serious matter. 

so... what is this story about?

 Even so, later I asked Ralph what his dream was about. And he told me it was about a religion called Buddhism, just like the dream I had about Christianity. He told me his story on how be became a Buddhist. And I was learning so much about this religion, but I did not feel overwhelmed. He told me the most important thing about Buddhism. That was to do what is right. No matter how hard life gets, it's all about having the right instincts, conduct, views, aspirations and more, this was called the 4 noble truths.  (“Buddhism - the Four Noble Truths”)  (Nakamura and Kitagawa)

My jaw was dropped...

I've never been so amazed about a religion before. I mean, who knew that other religions could be so fascinating! 

I told myself. 

" Iv'e never memorized so much information before." I told Ralph. 

He laughed and said, "it's actually my first time telling a story." We both laughed and smiled. 

hmm... what is this?

Later on I can home as I call it , happy to know being on this island was not so bad at all. 

I came across this book that kind of looked like a bible? I wasn't to sure though...

I looked through it, little did I know more than I should've... 

As I opened the book, I was fascinated, by the pictures, the colorlessness, the traditions that this book had. 

Yet to find out it was another religion. This religion was called Hinduism. 

" So many religions" I told myself, "what is this religion island?" Although I read through some pages of the book because of my curiosity side. I just couldn't resist. To me, this seemed like it would be a beautiful religion. 

woww... 

this is amazing.

I found out many things about this religion, The history, How it's a very popular religion and how it started about 4,000 years ago. The main thing that truly had me invested was yoga, called Jana yoga. it was one of the 4 principles of Hinduism. Called the 4 yoga's. 

I found out that Raja yoga is all about self discovery and re-direction. it's about  resolving any conflict that I come across, and using my knowledge of what would happen and prevent that issue, to achieve union for myself and the people I care about. (Jain)
