This is in response to a comment I received to my previous post(makes the explanation easier) and I'm obligated to respond for the sake of understanding. The comment was:...............................................................
Sound reason and good judgment are just propaganda perpetrated by the ruling class to keep the little guy in line. Consistency has never been a factor in the make up of human behavior...we just aren't the type .Chaos comes to us naturally. We are fascinated by our own insanity. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The only energy that I can truly battle my own dark side with, honestly comes from within, it's what kinda works for me.( But I've been wrong before...) I try to nourish my inner serenity and hope against hope that it catches on to those around me. I could do worse. I certainly have done worse.............................................................

My response is:
I can well understand how you can say it but I take great exception to it, though in no negative personal way. You've used the "absolute power corrupts absolutely" "thing" but, absolute power, at least not yet, is not available to the leaders in this country and, chaos, is not something that exists or ever has existed anywhere, but rather, the pervasive"system" of cause and effect resounds and the "effects" can appear as chaos. When a "persuasive System" is in place,there may well be, "the appearance of chaos" but by definition, chaos (that which is unsystematic and without reason) cannot exist within a pervasive system in any other way other than "by appearance" and not in truth. Peeps of though have the obligation to speak in ways that reflect the Truth of what really exists so all able to comprehend that,against which, we are all judged...our relative.

Beyond sound Judgment and good reason, I suggest there is no place to "hang our hat", except on hopelessness.

If I were a fish in a pond and some distant force is hurling rocks into the pond, I'd have to "roll with the punches" in order to appreciate a life in that pond.

But, thats not the way that it is. Indeed we are as the fishes in the pond and it is not some distant force that is creating the tumultuous
undulations within the pond but rather, other fish.(the one pond theory:-))

It's been written, "The End" will come in the form of fire. I'd suggest, that is the Truth but I'd further suggest, that the fire
is a metaphorical representation of "The Truth". What I mean by that, is summed up in this statement, "All lies(the source of tumultuous undulations) are consumed in the fires of "UNDENIABLE Truth".

That "Undeniable truth" is based upon sound judgment(proper assessment of the situation) and good reason(God knows we have that in the form of dead children).

My original message refers to what that Truth is in the example of "the numbers of Peeps dead" from the "Bad" acts initiated by other Peeps.

I'm counting on the expression of an undeniable Truth to calm the waters a bit to where-by the Hope in the midst of hopelessness can be seen and understood.

I'll let my response rest there in lew of any other tumultuous undulations :-)

Regards

What about sound reason and GOOD judgment?

I suspect it's been mixed among the WAL-MART profits and the price per barrel of oil huh?

A small group of men in air planes did bad and 3000 people died in New York,

Than a large group of people with tanks, and guns and planes and bombs
did bad and 30,000 people died in Iraq. And rising!!!!!

Sound reason and judgment would say,Just because there is an insanity among us, that is no justification for an even larger insanity!!!! thirty times more insane????

How clear must it be made, before it is seen that only a platform of Truth is worthy of A GOOD MAN'S TIME?

Now the question becomes, "Are you the good man you think you are?"

IN THE NEXT INSTANT THE THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY "PURE LIFE UNITS" BEGAN TO RELEASE THE PURE COLORS THAT HAD BEEN CONTAINED WITHIN THEM, AND AS THE SOUND OF BEAUTY CONTINUED, THE COLORS RELEASED FROM THE THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY "PURE LIFE UNITS" COMBINED, AND RECOMBINED. THE WARMTH OF THE FIGURE'S SMILE AND THE MAJESTIC INDESCRIBABLE BEAUTY, OF THE DIVINE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS, REACHED NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY YEARS TO THE NORTH AND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY YEARS TO THE SOUTH AND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY YEARS TO THE EAST AND NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY YEARS TO THE WEST FROM THE FIGURE'S WAIST, AND IN AN INSTANT, FOR THE SAKE OF INN0CENCE, THREE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY YEARS AROUND, THE SEA OF ETERNITY WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A NEW ISLAND OF INFINITY.

AS IMANI AND THE BELIEVERS WATCHED, THEY SAW A DOVE APPROACHING FROM THE OLD ISLAND OF INFINITY, NOW NINETEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY YEARS IN THE DISTANCE. AS THEY WATCHED, THE DOVE PREPARED TO SIT ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE BLAZING FIGURE. IMANI AND THE BELIEVERS, BEING COMPASSIONATE, FEARED FOR THE LIFE OF THE DOVE THAT SURELY WOULD BE CONSUMED WITHIN THE BLAZE AND GLORY OF SUCH A POWERFULLY MAJESTIC FIGURE, AS THE ONE THAT HAD ASCENDED. THIS FIGURE LIKE THAT OF A MAN WHO, THROUGH THE POWER OF BUT A SMILE, HAD REMOVED A SEA FOR A FULL THREE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND SIXTY YEARS. SURELY A FIGURE OF SUCH POWER WOULD HAVE LITTLE CONCERN FOR THE DOVE ABOUT TO LAND ON HIS BLAZING RIGHT SHOULDER. BUT IN AN INSTANT, THIS MOST MAJESTIC BLAZING FIGURE, THAT WAS AS A MAN, TURNED IT'S SMILE IN THE DIRECTION OF THE DOVE AND WITH AN OUT-BREATH "AHHHHHHH", CREATED A WIND LIKE NONE THAT IMANI HAD EVER SEEN IN ALL OF HIS YEARS AT SEA.

THE WIND WAS SO GREAT, THAT IT EXTINGUISHED THE LIGHT HOUSE ON THE OLD ISLAND OF INFINITY. THE WIND WAS SO GREAT, THAT IT PROPELLED THE CORNER STONE INSCRIBED WITH DAY 3, INTO THE NEVER, AND THE CORNER STONES INSCRIBED WITH DAY 2, AND DAY 4, WERE THROWN INTO THE NEVER, AND THE TWO, ONE HALF VERTICAL CORNER STONES INSCRIBED WITH DAY 1, AND DAY 5, WERE CAST INTO THE NEVER, AND THE ANTI-MATTERS OF YESTERDAY'S AND THE MATTERS OF TOMORROW'S, WERE HURLED INTO THE NEVER. THE THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY "PURE LIFE UNITS", WERE TOSSED INTO THE NEVER. EVEN THE BLAZING FIGURE, THAT WAS AS A MAN, WAS FLUNG INTO THE NEVER. ALL THE SIXES ... EVERYTHING, WAS JETTISONED INTO THE NEVER, BY THE GREAT WIND. ALL THAT REMAINED AFTER THE GREAT WIND WAS THE "NOW", AS THE DOVE LANDED, UNHARMED, ONTO IMANI'S RIGHT SHOULDER, WHERE HE SAT WITH HIS FRIENDS, IN A FIELD, NEAR A STREAM, 'NEATH A SUN, IN THE SKY, ON A DAY, JUST LIKE "NOW".

SACONI SAT AMONG THE FAITHFUL WHERE IMANI NOTICED THAT SACONI WAS WEARING NO WATCHES. "WHERE ARE YOUR WATCHES?", IMANI ASKED. "WHO NEEDS A WATCH NOW?", WAS SACONI'S, NOW CASUAL, REPLY.

"BUT, WHAT ABOUT THAT MAJESTIC BLAZING CLOCK AND THE SOUNDS AND THE BEAUTIFUL COLORS?", IMANI QUIZED. "HAVE YOU EVER LOOKED CLOSELY AT A DOVE?", SACONI RESPONDED. "BESIDES", SACONI CONTINUED, "YOU HAVE TO MAKE A CLOCK TO BREAK A CLOCK!". "WHAT'S NEXT?", IMANI ASKED HIS FATHER LOVINGLY.

SACONI REPLIED, IN A VOICE OF PASSIONATE COMPASSION, "I AM GIVING YOU A NEW NAME IMANI. FROM NOW ON YOU WILL BE CALLED LALEPOP',THIS ISLANDS NEW LIGHT HOUSE, WITH A CROWNING BEACON OF THE "NOW" .

NOW ALL CAN KNOW, WHERE THERE IS THE CROWN OF "NOW", THERE IS COMPASSION AND LIFE. WHERE THERE IS THE CROWN OF "NOW" THERE IS TRUTH AND WHERE THERE IS TRUTH, THERE IS LALEPOP'.

NOW the new beginning.

FIGMENT, OUTWARD FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE FIGMENTED STICK. THE ONE HALF VERTICAL CORNER STONE INSCRIBED WITH DECEMBER 6, 0000, DAY 1, AND THE ONE HALF VERTICAL CORNER STONE INSCRIBED WITH DECEMBER 6, 3960, DAY 5, STARTED GLOWING AND MOVED FROM THE EAST AND THE WEST RESPECTIVELY. THE TWO, ONE HALF VERTICAL CORNER STONE?, JOINED AS ONE AT THE BASE OF THE VIBRATING VERTICAL FIGMENTED STICK.

THE QUAKING MATTERS AND THE SPINNING. ANTI-MATTERS MAINTAINED THEIR POSITIONS BETWEEN THE CORNER STONES AS THEY TOO ASCENDED INTO THE AIR. THE COMBINED SOUNDS OF MAJESTIC BEAUTY CONTINUED. EVERYTHING HAD ASCENDED AND WAS SUSPENDED ABOVE THE WATER. THE CORNER STONES WERE GLOWING WITH A LIGHT BRIGHTER THAN A SUN, AND THE VERTICAL FIGMENTED STICK VIBRATED WITH A MELLOW ALTO NOTE, AND THE ANTI-MATTERS QUAKED WITH A DEEP BASE NOTE, AND THE MATTERS WERE SPINNING IN A RICH SOPRANO NOTE. THE SOUNDS OF MAJESTY AND BEAUTY TURNED THE WATERS OF THE ETERNAL SEA FROM A MURKY DARK BLOOD RED INTO A CLEAR SKY BLUE. IMANI AND THE OTHER BELIEVERS COULD NOT IMAGINE ANYTHING GREATER THAN WHAT THEY WERE SEEING, BUT THEY WERE WRONG!

IN THE NEXT INSTANT IMANI AND THE BELIEVERS SAW THE VIBRATING VERTICAL FIGMENTED STICK BEING TRANSFORMED INTO A FIGURE, AS THAT OF A MAN, WITH THE CORNER STONE INSCRIBED WITH JUNE 6, 1980, DAY 3, RESTING, LIKE A CROWN, UPON HIS HEAD. HIS ARMS OUT STRETCHED WITH A CORNER STONE ON THE PALM OF EACH HAND. ON HIS LEFT PALM WAS THE STONE INSCRIBED WITH MARCH 9, 990, DAY 2, AND ON HIS RIGHT PALM THE STONE INSCRIBED WITH SEPTEMBER 3, 2970, DAY 4. THE FIGURE THAT WAS AS A MAN WAS STANDING ON
THE TWO JOINED ONE HALF VERTICAL CORNER STONES. HIS RIGHT FOOT, WAS UPON THE ONE INSCRIBED DECEMBER 6, 3960, DAY 5, AND HIS LEFT FOOT, UPON THE ONE INSCRIBED DECEMBER 6,0000, DAY1. HE WAS AS IF ON FIRE, SMILING GREAT WARMTH UPON THE INNOCENT IN THE SEA OF ETERNITY...to be continued

SURE ENOUGH, THE SEA AROUND THE CORNER STONE WITH THE DATE OF JUNE 6, 1980, DAY 3, INSCRIBED ON IT, BEGAN TO CHANGE FROM its DARK MURKY BLOOD RED TO A SKY BLUE, AND LIGHT BEGAN TO STREAM FROM BENEATH THE STONE AND IT SLOWLY BEGAN RISING OFF OF THE HORIZONTAL FIGMENTED STICK. IMANI AND THE FAITHFUL STOOD WITH SACONI AT THE BASE OF THE STICK IN THE SOUTH AND WATCHED AS THE CORNER STONE WAS RAISED HIGHER ABOVE THE WATERS AND THEFIGMENTED STICK. IMANI AND THE OTHERS COULD SEE THAT IT WAS THE STONE THAT WAS GIVING OFF THE LIGHT,THE STONE WAS GLOWING LIKE A SUN. AS THE CORNER STONE MOVED UPWARD THE HORIZONTAL FIGMENTE~ STICK BEGAN TO MOVE INTO A VERTICAL POSITION.

EVERYTHING WAS HAPPENING AT ONCE AND AS THE CORNERSTONE WENT HIGHER THE LIGHT FROM IT SHONE ON THE EAST AND THE WEST. THE ANTI-MATTERS IN THE EAST BEGAN TO QUAKE SLOWLY, CREATING A RUMBLE OF DEEP RICH BASS AND THE MATTERS IN THE WEST BEGAN TO SPIN, CREATING A PURE SOPRANO NOTE AND THE FIGMENTED STICK THAT WAS RISING TO THE VERTICAL BEGAN TO VIBRATE WITH A MELLOW ALTO NOTE AND THE COMBINATION OF THE THREE MADE THE SOUNDS OF MAJESTIC BEAUTY.

AS THE GLOWING DAY 3 STONE MOVED HIGHER, THE DAY 2, AND THE DAY 4 CORNER STONES BEGAN TO GLOW AND START THEIR ASCENT INTO THE AIR WHI~E THE VIBRATING FIGMENTED STICK MOVED CLOSER TO VERTICAL AND THE QUAKING ANTI-MATTERS AND THE SPINNING MATTERS AND THE "PURE LIFE UNITS" MAINTAINED THEIR POSITIONS BETWEEN THE CORNER STONES, AS THEY TOO, ASCENDED INTO THE AIR. THE SOUNDS OF MAJESTIC BEAUTY CONTINUED. IN

A SHORT TIME, THE FIGMENTED HORIZONTAL, WAS STANDING ABSOLUTELY CORNER STONE INSCRIBED WITH JUNE 6, ON THE FIGMENTED STICK'S HEAVENWARD DAY 4 CORNER STONES, HAD ASCENDED TOO....to be continued
