While wondering where to start this story - it came to me. The answer I so often give my children, the beginning is always a good place to start. Yet then this story is like no other story, for where is our beginning? I could say my beginning was on such and such a date, that would only reflect to my continuation and refer to my starting point, in this world, a circle within a circle. So then the source of my beginning, truly lies with GOD, the source of all beginnings and endings, yes the cause of all effects. This is my religion, as this is the manner, which allows me to know that I am spiritually linked to GOD. This is my reason for existence and this is what makes me important. Full circle is partly to tell those who feel as if they themselves have done something wrong. They feel guilty about their childhood, their parent’s divorce has had a hard impact on their adult life, let alone the void it caused when they were yet little children. Full circle empowers you to realize that you have the ability to be different in every aspect of your life. because we have all been created with freedom of will, the ability to choose, Win or lose we choose. Full circle is for now, in these times of dire straights, as it allows our minds and our hearts to rise in anger and revolt against a materialistic system, which we can justifiably charge with greed and all these social disasters that befalls us. Because full circle permits us to seek knowledge and understanding at the roots of our life and this will empower us to realize wisdom, as it is written “wisdom calls on every street corner, yet they hear not” this illustrates to us that we choose not to hear, we choose not to be wise and I ask you, what do we hope to accomplish by being ignorant to the truth? When we are seen to have faults, would it not be wise to abandon them? It is not that the path to the truth is so hard to find, it is that nobody chooses to walk on it, which is so hard to believe. Full circle drives us onto finding our positive identification and meaning in this life. Which is for all of us to know, it is this power within which is the reason for our existence, this permits us to become the true radicals of this age. As we do not wish to escape but to destroy and over throw this evil weak existing order. Full circle allows us to find the basic truth, these laws of GOD, which we must now choose to obey, for are we not tired of perishing? The time has come for us to become earnest in our continued searching for the truth, no matter where that search may lead us it is imperative for us to make this search successful, as this truth is that which determines our lives. Do we live truthful meaningful lives or false, plastic, shallow and insecure lives? Is this the reason that some of us never reach that place of fulfillment, of understanding? For we are always searching yet on the wrong path, never getting the right result, as the right result is not to be found on the wrong path. Full circle is the deeper realization of our heritage, this gift given to all mankind by GOD. It is our basic search for eternal truth and eternal life. We know that the decay of righteousness and the exaltation of unrighteousness, this is what has led us to the brink of despair and this is what has led society to become moldy. We need to make a stand for the protection of good yes for the protection of our future. We need to return to the path of truth and to destroy the works of the evildoers. Full circle allows us to be free from the bonds of fear or anger and rather to be filled with passion. It allows us to be purified in the fire of wisdom, this fire that burns so passionately within our souls, and it is here in the soul where our will resides. If the will does not know how to will, it will not will. |

I must say that this piece, while joyful and positive about any battles we may face against society, sounds a tad on the self-help side. I detect the usual "we are all stressed out in our society and so we need to do something about it" mentality. I try not to be too cynical, but in this matter I believe that, like the poor, stress of this nature will always be with us. On a more philosophical side, "Full circle" sounds like a pleasant mixture of karma (or rather shall I say humbly the tiny bit I understand of it) and Thomistic thinking on God's being uncaused cause from which all eminantes and to which all must return. On a practical level, "Full circle" sounds like good advice. Indeed, as you call it "circle within a circle" (Maybe you are alluding to Ezekiel chapter 1-2 and the wonderful vision of the living creatures that moved by God's spirit alone?) existence as we know it really is a series of circles. Some are bad, like trying to lose weight and lapsing into obesity after doing well for a year. Others are good, like the Siddhatha story of the young boy who discovers finally profound truth by (inadervently?) abasing himself with the corruptions of the world (please accept my apologies if my language is couched in Christian spirituality) and coming back with a greater sense of spiritual awareness. Now I can't sign off without giving at least one bit to look at interms of grammar etc: Full circle is for now, in these times of dire straights, as it allows our minds and our hearts to rise in anger and revolt against a materialistic system, which we can justifiably charge with greed and all these social disasters that befalls us. Obviously you could drop the s on "befalls" but I wonder also about the wording. It seems a little awkward to say that something allows something else to "rise in anger." Furthermore, do you think that anger is really the best way to look at combatting materialism, to which you (justifiably or not) attribute the ills of our world. Again, dropping back into the reflection this piece has induced in me, I find that anger at "the system" (forgive me for saying that phrase again. I really do hate it when people talk about "the system" because it makes them sound so darned ignorant, but that's another story) often ends up resulting in cynicism in the long run. A phrase or term like "The system" suggests quite rightfully that it is an entity that cannot be reckoned with by any one individual or even group of individuals. Instead, were one to attack it directly as a modern Don Quixote against a bureaucratic windmill would result in our hero becoming just another cynical "average westerner" finally realizing his/her place as nothing more than a lowly consumer. Instead, maybe it's just the self that needs to change? Any idiot can see that the result is true. |

Fracto1007, i thank you kindly, for your valved input, you have given me a lot of possitives to mull over and with out a doubt inplament, the religious overtones ekcko throughout our times, it is just the tune that changes, about the remark that one need perhaps work on self change, this is an must, like the seasons, so we should also adapt. Our problem lays with ignorance feeding greed, this leaves knowledge as the obvious path to change, regaurds ezekiel, a very clued up ussumption, once again thank you for your time and valued comments, suggestions and general help. |
