Hmmm.
I've never met someone that was just good at something. Even the good artists I know draw all the time.
It all comes down to intelligence, interest, and the amount of time you put into things. I say intelligence because sometimes no matter the amount of time and effort put into something things won't pan out. Knew a guy who was slow that tried for four years to get his GED and couldn't pass it. Thankfully, he finally went with what his mind was capable of cultivating and learned how to lay tile.
People say I am good at making music. I am not really good at making music, I just spend a lot of time doing it...and I am interested.
Same with math. I tell them how many hours I have spent doing and redoing problems to understand math and they still say "but you're still naturally good at it".
I have never been naturally good at anything. I have been interested in things and chose to spend time on them, but I was not born good at anything.
That's just me.

Nothing wrong with being spiritual, it's when one becomes religious that heads roll, literally. We are all one. Cheers, friend.
"Be kind to those you love, and be kind to those you don't, but for god's sake you've gotta be kind, and respectful because we're all one soul. Be the best f$&@ing human that you can be!"

Do you think it is possible that all life on this earth could be linked to form a consciousness that steers nature? Some people have broke away from this consciousness and try to destroy or discredit it. Is this possible consciousness linked some how to other planets with life by a weak link over lightyears away? Could this network be what we call god?
I do not know why some people cannot understand this consciousness and try to shear the link. Even many religious people defy our local entity and abuse nature which is a part of this entity.
I was always told that everything we see is part of god when I was in sunday school. So in essence Christianity should understand that the crust of this earth is part of god. We should respect all life and thank mother nature, not Monsanto, for providing for us.
