Greetings all .
I feel , that these are wonderful , and deeply thought out comments , within an ongoing journey , that moves forwards towards understanding .
I may never reach that " understanding " and my quest may be as old as human civilisation itself , yet there is a fulfillment born into me ,
that I try to express and share . I feel that God should unite us all , not divide us into groups .
May I add some food for thought here , and draw attention to , what we have learned so much about our history of human civilisation .
The ancient cultures , be it from the Aztec's or Australian Aborigines , to the Vikings and the Zulu's , all felt a great and wonderful presence ,
On every part of this wonderful planet , that folks have settled , they feel God around them . So there is God , but we feel it differently .
To me , the wisdom of the ancient spiritual texts , that guided my great , and great great grandparents lives , are about community building
and resolving destructive human emotions . Throughout human history , warfare and domination , threatened , and often destroyed , the hard
work of peaceful and creative family folks . For a developing community to thrive , they needed to agree , about what is beyond them to
understand . Thus , the ultimate authority , and who is the leader ( authority ) of that ultimate authority , becomes the lawmaker and keeper
of wisdom and moral values . Look back through the last few thousands of years , it is repeated again and again . Stone Age to now
the 21st century and our Space Age , without a Creation story to agree upon , we humans , divide into groups , and compete to dominate
as much as anyone can grab . What a tremendous opportunity to move forwards , towards mutually beneficial harmony , as the conscious
and developing species , about seven billion of us now , each uniquely different , yet biologically united by the honest hard work at survival
of billions of years/generations of our ancestors . God is still beyond us humans to understand , but , the creative energy , of what we
can now understand about our history , blossoms , as a new miracle each new day ,
My view is , that if us humans , can now see , how powerful that our emotions are , in our decision making , from the highest thoughts
about God , to the constant everyday busy life , and being a part of our community , that , our distant neighbors , struggle with those
same feelings . Such an amazing gift , our individual free will . A burden of responsibility at times , to the reckless freedom and
detachment , of , who cares its my free will . My freedom , is nowadays 21st century , dependent upon , my neighbors , feeling that we
talk about our historical differences , set aside the swords and bombs , and unite as modern humanity , who work to protect this
beautiful place that we are born onto . What an emotional thing , work to protect creation , from our destructive human emotions .
Is it God's job , or do we learn from the Spiritual wisdoms , that are spread across the continents and our history , and unite
about seven billion people , to follow not just Moses Jesus and Allah , and the Eskimo an Morai .
It is something so foundational and so basic : grow into the changing times , and adapt , for our offspring and survival .
Jesus would like it , coming back , and see that we get along with our neighbor , forgive trespass , and protect innocent
living things , from extinction .
This has become very long , and I thank you for reading all of this .
Towards peace an prosperity Ron .
