051211: What if others do not want to commune with you when you cross over or when they cross over?
So what is all this talk of death? Why now two weeks before Christmas?
A lot of the reflections have to do with the American soldiers in
This is an attempt, on the part of a lone voice steep in metaphysical reflections, to say to these families, be at peace and know that millions upon millions of Afghani and Iraqi souls have or will step over the threshold separating their traveling this physical realm from the realm of timelessness/eternity and the vast majority of those souls will be shaking the hands of your loved ones and embracing them with tears of appreciation for they volunteering to go to Afghanistan and Iraq to free oppressed souls.
These brave young men and women went to the Middle East with no anticipation of personal benefit, no expectation of personal gain, no selfish motive whatsoever in order to establish a society where the individual would emerge as ‘the’ entity of significance as opposed to an oppressive dictator and his henchmen being ‘the’ entity of significance.
These young Americans, British, and others looked the naysayers in the eye and said ‘to hell with you, I’m going to take action since all you do is sit back and spout worthless hot air and do nothing to back up your rhetoric’.
Fifty million Afghani and Iraqi people, half of them women, are now beginning to see the end of the horrific ‘honor’ killings mothers, sons, daughters, husbands, … commit against them, hold over their heads, intimidate by threatening to use, fade into the background of history.
Fifty million Afghani and Iraqi people now have a voice with which to speak, their own voice, in the form of electing their own government.
The rape rooms are disappearing. The torture chambers are gradually being snuffed out. The ‘despot rule’ is turning into a democracy.
The result: The hundreds of thousands of troops who stepped forward, the hundreds of millions of free citizens who allowed themselves to be taxed, the billion Arab Muslims who see the march of democracy moving over their lands, can all take comfort that when the each pass over the threshold separating mortality from the realm of immortality, all those supporting the extraordinary effort to take action will embrace each other in a recognition of brotherly love as opposed to having to make excuses for their not supporting the effort to take action to assist other entities composed of the same substance and essence as God.
Peace to you all and Merry Christmas.
Tomorrow: But what of good intentions?
