fare_thee_well daf As a preface to these pieces, let's start by dismissing the notion that there is any blame to be levelled for anything that is going on right now. All steps that needed to be taken were taken. All pieces that have been required to play a part in this game have played their part, in most cases, flawlessly. The system, which seems so horrible in so many ways, and wonderful in so many others, is what it was meant to be and has performed as it was meant to perform. The why of it is that we cannot know what we are by our words or outer appearances alone. It is our actions that define what we are. Those that behave as dirt belong to dirt...those that behave as light...to light. Dirt is attracted to dirt..light moves on.. The Beast has served its purpose well, and we have the Love that is The Flow for that. There is no cruelty in this game, only love. Mother Love...love to tide us through now, Father Love..love which prepares us for later. It is only the transition between the two that seems cruel, and this is as a result of our wish that things be a certain way, not as a result of cruel intention or flawed design on the part of our Creator. If you read and are not moved...then this is how it was meant to be, and you are no less crazy or sane than anyone else for a refusal to accept what is written here. It isn't the words that matter sometimes, it's what we do with them and how we respond to them that matters. It is still possible, humans that we are, for us to act appropriately when we disagree with one another. Likewise, if you read and a chord is struck deep within you, listen to it and see where it leads you. The emptiness that we spend our lives trying to fill just might be asking you to step away from "sanity" in the name of facing reality. Whatever your reaction; contempt, indifference, anger, acceptance or agreement, remember that we are human beings capable of using this mighty intellect for so much more than cerebral rehashes of the same behaviors which animals impose upon one another. The human sneer is no different from the canine showing of teeth. The destiny of the human race lies in a different direction. One day soon, we will all walk that way..out of the jaws of the Beast..evolving from "human animals" to "human beings." For now, we can only hope that more will begin to walk in unity than will choose to remain seated and sneering. In any event, the Creator will not FORCE anyone to stand (regardless of what the Antichrist might tell us), because coercion creates division. Rather, it is the current system, the Beast, that imposes upon our freewill and forces us to do its bidding at the cost of our dignity, our unity and our humanity. "You cannot convince anyone of anything. You can only plant the seed, and move on." To quote Jose Arguelles from his book "The Mayan Factor": "As anyone knows, there is no intelligence in coercion or forcing another into action or realization. And if the name of the game is superior, intelligent harmonization, it must be played so that the local intelligence is taught or shown how it works in such manner that it comes to its own conclusions. In other words, the universal code of honor is to manifest and demonstrate harmony by whatever means possible. Always playing by the rules of harmony, but at the same time respecting the local intelligence, the code's chief command would be to do nothing to further any notion of duality or separateness. A key Mayan phrase in this regard is: "In lake'ch:" I am another yourself." "Here there is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the Beast, for it is a man's number, and the number is 666." - Revelation 13:18 MEET_THE_ANTICHRIST MEET_THE_BEAST The Beast cannot be stopped by an act of human will. Still, when the world turns on its ear the Beast which will finally begin to be tamed. Those that survive, will finally be free...for they are those who will NOT pass that conditioning on to their children. Many of you will live to see that day. Love to you...goodbye for now.
