It's a mad, mad, mad world all right. And
what seems to keep the madness in place is this: Just because we
keep doing the same crazy things over and over, we begin to
imagine those things are "sane."
Take war. Please! Especially that most
oxymoronic one, the holy war in the Holy Land. Holy cow-pie,
that's wholly insane.
I guess someone must have modified the Ten
Commandments while we weren't looking: "Thou shalt not
kill, except in extremely large groups."
I've said it before, but maybe it bears
repeating—It could very well be that the Ten Commandments are
just too much to bite off all at once.
Maybe we should start with One Suggestion: "We're
all in it together." Each and every one of us is
totally unique, just like everyone else. We are all one with the
same One: The Universal Oneness. The Universe has us surrounded,
we might as well surrender.
People ask me all the time if I'm a
creationist or an evolutionist, and I tell them,
"both." We humans were created to evolve, otherwise
Jesus would have said, "Now don't do a thing until I
return!"
Maybe it's time we children of God finally
grow up and become adults of God and realize we are the
Creator's creation created to create. In other words, we're not
here to just earn God's love, we're here to spend it!
What if human society made the collective
choice to live as if we're all in it together? Imagine a world
gone sane. Imagine a new mission to conquer inner space
and achieve humanifest destiny–manifesting our destiny as a
humanity–to re-grow the Garden from the grassroots up, and
have a heaven of a time doing it.
