For Peace?...

For Peace or War?

Dec 07



For centuries, and to this modern day
when man has embarked to an unjust unwarranted war
either for religion, territory, resources or other human affairs
he has often done so proclaiming "God on our side"

When the war was not won
was there ever admission or any frank realisation
that "God was not on our side"
or that ''God was on the other side"....
and ..."did we make a mistake?"

Does God really take sides and for purposes
as trivial and ephemeral as the above?

How can anyone justify killing another human being
or nation on mass by using God as his... biased 'alliance'
and believe it as true?

Can man know or even control his own individual little destiny
let alone assume such enormous responsibility
of determining and executing horrific acts of violence
while proclaiming God on his side.

If God were displeased or angry with one group or other
would he really need man to fight His battles for him
by gun, death and destruction?

And where does massacre, rape and torture of innocent
- those 'little' casualties -
fit in this alliance?

Did man create humanity?
Does Man have any right to destroy or alter with violence
any part of humanity?

If God were to take sides
would there be anyone left
to utter such irresponsibly moronic claims... ever again?

Peace on Earth cannot be established by wishing it alone
while using false justifications for perpetuating wars
but by persistent determined actions to bring an end
to violence and war against other human beings or nations.

Maybe when finally Man has found a right and just way
of creating, respecting, serving and preserving a
One whole United Humanity
then he can justly claim that
"God is on our side"

Question

The Right Question

Dec 07




The right question is not whether there Is God or Not

The right question is
whether man is really looking for the answers for his existence
in a way that will lead him to finding God
or whether he is creating
both the answers as well as 'his own' God
from within his own limited mind and imagination.

The Question is Not whether this religion is right or that,
but whether religion, ceremony and tradition
are man's attempts to define, solidify, and most importantly...
...'control' God and thus his own destiny?

Can man truly find God in creating structures
from within his own limited field of perception
instead of being open, observant and receptive
to what surrounds him?

Whose...?

In Whose Image?

Dec 07



Man needs a God in order to establish the origin of his creation
and the assurance of his continuation.

Man needs to control his own destiny
and needs God to be tangible and accessible
so he creates ceremony and tradition.

Man needs rules in order to survive and live orderly
so he creates ...'God's' will, heaven and even hell
and some 'evil' in the shape of entity
that 'pursues' him constantly.

(possibly because ...
the devil he knows is better than any devil he does not?)

Man fights wars in order to protect his faith,
his land and his resources
so he makes God his 'comrade' and 'protector'
and fights his own wars in His holy name.

Man needs to identify and align his image with God
so he makes God to have made him in His own image
-together with some obscure creation of ...'woman'
-as in Eve's case- to complete him ...or to tempt him???...

(Considering that half of humanity IS ...'woman'
her place and status in the creation begs for more explanation.
No doubt she had neither the chance nor any choice of input
in man's ideology of 'his' God and his God's creation)

Man feels vulnerable and insignificant in the midst
of a vast and unknown universe.
He needs to feel significant and indispensable
as well as to find some purpose in his existence
so he makes himself the center of God's creation
and all else considers as created for him and his use
and dominance.

All of this or some of it could to some degree be true,
but structured so rigidly and held so tightly for centuries,
stifles man's true ability to reach and touch
what is already there without any need to be invented.

It is like going to a well with a spoon
trying to bring up some water
instead of going to the river and swim directly in it.

Is a man
who has accepted or embraced a religion unquestioningly
through traditional indoctrination
by family, culture, ethnicity, or education
more religious or spiritual
than one fervently searching
or finding God and answers his own way?

Genetically Modified?...

Genetically Modified?...

Nov 07



Genetically modified or artificially inseminated Ape?

I have great difficulty believing that One great God
created Man as One Perfect species
and as the Center of all Creation.

Whatever his misgivings, and they are many indeed,
man is undoubted the most fascinating creature on Earth
both in positive as well as in negative ways.

His astonishing ability to rise in the face of evil,
disaster or catastrophe, as a divine hero
through acts of benevolent kindness, bravery
and selfless sacrifice for the good of all humanity,
contrasted by his ability to descend into the most dark,
demonic, brutally barbaric acts of unthinkable sadistic
cruel violence and destruction
beyond any other beast on this planet,
indicates an utterly inexplicable duality, pointing to a possibility
of a merging of two entirely different species.

Is there potentially some missing or unknown -so far- link
that could free him from this loophole of duality
and cause the progression into an assimilation of both
and transformation into one that transcends
all current levels of 'beast and hero'
into one that reaches divine?

After all, has not this Always been
Man's deep Instinctual Aspiration,
Inner dream and Perpetual strife?

Science...

Science Within

June 07




Man is still at a pre dawn stage of awareness
of his sensory capabilities.

His advanced imagination has served him well
through the immense development of science and technology
but has also contributed in depriving him,
by his one sided reliance,
of any chance of developing sensitivity, awareness
and knowledge of any subtle levels of expression
within his own vehicle

He has reproduced and externalised functions of which
there are many indications that they are abilities
that already exist and reside within his own brain
waiting to be discovered, recognised, trained and refined.

He relies upon mechanical devices, creations and inventions
of his own such as television, telephone, computers etc
just to name a few, to detect verify and operate elements
that his senses are not yet fully developed or trained
to register or operate and does not know or is aware
that they could possibly be controlled by equivalent senses
and functions within his own body.

So much has been thrown in the "unexplained" basket for now.

There will be a Future...
where the sensory discovery and eventual revolution
will unfold and grow in parallel with the advancement
of science until they both meet and possibly merge.

Then it will be clear which one gave birth to the other.
