A kind hearted woman once told me: “If we all lived by the ‘Ten Commandments’ the world would be a better place: no more street crime, no more fornication, no more hate or murder; no more wars.” I thought, hey, what if? The Man Without a Face whispered: “Does love come harnessed in laws? People try to live by endless rules made to control them as cattle and sheep; to keep them wallowing in fear; to keep them from discovering the true joy of shared freedom! When you break down walls called judgment, condemnation, you set yourself free to soar on the ever-changing winds of freedom and your much abused world becomes more like a place one could possibly call ‘home’ some day. You still don't understand? Look around you when out in nature and note what “commandments” are followed by the birds and bees: these you should pay heed to, and let the fools fall on their knees who pray to deaf and dumb idols who make rules that benefit only those in places of power. |

AMEN! This write filled me with joy. There are no excesses in nature...no harm inflicted for sport...no wars fought except survival...and peace from center to center. Toasting you...to balance! TD |

"When you break down walls called judgment, condemnation, you set yourself free to soar on the ever-changing winds of freedom and your much abused world becomes more like a place one could possibly call ‘home’ some day." It's hard to think that this will ever happen but if we don't hope for it there's absolutely no chance. I do believe people are starting to see and understand - I just hope many more do before it is too late. Well said, WindWalker! |

yes Nature has many wonderful lessons to teach us. But...MAN, who fills himself with imaginations, fears and guilt and is most often led by his ego, rarely follows his innermost nature. Until he learns to follow his inner-most nature, he will never peacefully coincide with Nature. Luckily...the Ten Commandments were not like the other laws. These 10 were things that have been COMMANDED, therefore their coming to pass is without question. These 10 were not placed on the outside of the Ark of the Covenant like all the others. These 10 were placed WITHIN the Ark. Also called...The Ark of Promise. The Ark of Promise...which was a type and shadow of CHRIST. So...They are the 10 PROMISES. That will come about with the coming of CHRIST. A Higher Consciousness. A deeper understanding. That is born to each individual at differnt times and on different levels. From this "coming" each returns to their innermost Nature. That which has been buried beneath the clay will resurrect. He Comes! (Erchomai) Always used in the present tense. Because Christ COMES. Has been coming. And continues to Come. Continually. All is as ordered. Nothing is amiss. But...Until we are brought to that Higher understanding... We may sometimes hear the voice of our Innermost Nature...that says "When you break down walls called judgment, condemnation, you set yourself free to soar on the ever-changing winds of freedom" Yes Although that is heard... Until there is the return to our innermost nature, we will always slide back to... "let the fools fall on their knees who pray to deaf and dumb idols." Yes. We sometimes heed the voice of the One without a face... But we return to ...judgment and condemnation and quickly rebuild the wall. But...there is Good News. Have no doubt. There will not remain one stone left standing upon another. ::smiles:: Perfect peace to you. Wonderful write !!! As always. |

If God felt like it was a good thing to do at the time, I'm not going to argue with Him...and then there's John 3:16...James |
