Stop
The Human War
Asking
the national governments to do something to stop the human war is
like asking them to stop collecting taxes. Or planning. What else can
a government do? But plan for you?
They
want something. See. You say you do not. Then you do. How did it
happen to you? Schemers all. We all live off the war. Hitler wanted
to make the whole world German, I was told. British persons resisted,
of course. Yet they are cousins. That don't make sense. Today Jews in
Israel wear military uniforms, strut, and blow people away. That
don't make any sense. That is absurd!
The
very citizens who rail most loudly of their patriotism and are quick
to point out a traitor are the same folks who tell we should all be
willing to send our children to war at our country's call and yet
they, themselves, begrudge the government each dime of their tax
bill. They will send the kids to die and kill but are much less
willing to part with dough. Now, remember it is also those most
vocally patriotic who also in every culture that has ever existed
manage to arrange through political channels or bribery, or both,
safe passage for their own children to save those lives they hold
more dear while living in the land where it is sworn to be so that
all people are equal. That's absurd!
You
are brilliant and something wants you to be dull, it's safer they
report. Safer for whom? Our gods have become the rigid, inflexible
patterns of past behavior created, praised, and reinforced as
unquestionably enduring to the glory of mankind to be continually
celebrated. Run by professionals each is reverently called by its
name; names such as religion, politics, national defense, education,
medicine, economics, mathematics, music, art, culture, and all the
rest of it. All of it known by every citizen to be wasteful,
inefficient, unreliable, inflexible, unfair, cruel and quite limited
in application. Do it we must! That has become its most loud
ordination. It is absurd to think what is ordained by trepidation,
dread, and terror is to be lauded as trustworthy nor is it liable to
bring forth good fruit.
I
have learnt an important secret now to be communicated. The thing is
that all those who become greedy or needy and deceitful are
automatically moving forward with a plan to do something that means
harm to someone else. They believe it necessary. Necessary for whom?
But anyone who remains brilliant is going to see right through them,
no problem, and stop them in their tracks. It so happens that
anything done to further a false interest separate from the whole
becomes obvious to a brilliant being who has no agenda at all and
never shall have such. On that plane it is clear when an agenda is
near. Truth is brilliant. Deceit or darkness has a weakness and it
is light. So, inevitably, the movement on behalf of a nation or a
group of nations actually must leave clues, fingerprints, footprints,
and a money trail for examples, and all these clues truth will use to
bring down the movement like a melting snowman being undone by the
Sun. The importance of this cannot be overstated.
In
summary, once you are clear that you have been drafted into an absurd
world by the mere chance of birth, you will be given an opportunity,
a merciful gift, really, to take an even more absurd stance than
those who call themselves your fellow man have taken and by so doing
leave it yet remain. Yes. Remain anywhere you happen to
be yet exist outside the absurd world. That's really absurd!
The
way I see it, now, there is a brilliant light within us that is
unaffected by outside circumstances. It is often spoken of as hidden
but it seems hidden because we never look where it happens to be in a
place so obvious and so available it resides on fair and equal terms
inside every living being. Nothing need be done to have it! It is
actually unimaginable. (Pause.) There exists an unimaginable
goodness in each one of us. And therein lies the fairness, equality,
justice, excellence, peace, and harmony to the delight overflowing of
all people who intuitively seek. In the wrong palace we worship
seeking what we have already. We seek and seek and seek. Never do we
find. It is absurd to keep on striving in the same hopeless manner!
And so sad. From the outside world of imagination it is not going to
materialize. How could it? We have it! Stand boldly for this most
absurd reality for a change. The change referred to is the one you
always hoped for but never realized. Stand for your own brilliance!
Be amazed! Then light another candle!
Note:
The more absurd stance referenced in the paragraph immediately above
is an individual one that cannot be done for you nor can it be done
as a group or team. One takes the step alone.
