Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 3.19.06 L.E: In the larger view of things, talking to yourself is the talking of life itself, and talking to others, who are part of you or us, is talking to yourrself. In the life of all humans as one large organism all the talking of everyone is talking to ourself. Everything that humans are doing is just one conversation with yourself. What we share in common is that we are all Life expressing itself in all its forms. That everything in form is the expression of the One Life, or it is all one life expressing itself in many forms. We can turn a tree into lumber and boards, but we can't turn a human into a monkey or a dog. It's often hard to change someones' opinion because they have as much of the Infinite Universe supporting them as we do. Even the newcomer, a baby, will not stop crying just because to tell it to. It knows what it want to be, and insists on it. Larry Epston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as internally, the cell of the liver are distinct from those of the kindneys, our human total organism is different from the life of all cow, dogs or horses. Taken all together, all the cows are cells in one macro organism, all the dogs, the same, all the horses, the same. To continue this picture, war and discord can be seen as disease that works itself out and heals as wars end. Or war can be seen as a natural process of change that improves the overall functioning of the human organism. When differences between the parts of the human family or order, get to large, war occurs to iron out or smooth out the differences and make a more homogenous blending of its various parts. A scientist can take a mold, a growth of cells and separate them and they are still the same mold, and as humans grow and expand in various locations on the surface of the planet, we continue in our similarities although if isolated long enough, humans will change enough to be different, one group from another. Eventuall is these different groups come in contact, if the difference cause conflict by being too great, war will occur and iron out the differences.

Larry Epston More often than not, war leaves death and destruction and bad will, and allows the winner to have a special holiday to celebrate the victory. It's a very poor way to try to resolve differences. Maybe the Middle East isn't doing it right? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
