orientation? On what and where
to?
As social and pleasant
many of our celebrations are, so much they offer us recovery
and diversion from everyday problems, so urgently we must
not ignore exactly those problems, which oppose inter-human
peace and comprehensive justice. Everything falls back to
us. Meanwhile we live in a global village. And if only one
village member is not feeling well, then also all the others
suffer from it. The real obstacles in
direction of paradise on earth are to be found nowhere else
than in ourselves. Despite of multiple confessions to peace
we lack true intention to create living conditions in a
common world-wide effort which leave no losers behind.
For too many of us it
is still completely normal and "natural" that the stronger
one is rightful and personal material profit is a worthwhile
goal of life. Our societies are based on competition, which
destructively embraces everything. Enriching at the expense
of others however represents a goal, which stands against
public welfare and makes peace impossible. As long as our mental
orientation in favour of an outward and alleged luck of
particulars neglects deep satisfaction of community on
earth, so long all the most different realities we are
heading for will disguise the unifying and ever lasting
truth. As soon as we widen
our perspectives beyond the obstacles and borders which have
grown historically, we inevitably recognize the fact that we
all are the same, born in the same light, independent of
skin colour or regional origin. Once recognized, we always
focus in direction of our true origin. Much too satisfying,
emotionally warming is this light, never ever we could lose
it again after the painful learning lessons of mankind
history. The connection to the light of origin is nothing
but our unifying life religion. The trivial becomes
the divine service, the service to the genuine.
Separation and fragmentation thinking and acting into
political and religious spheres have led into the maze of
different realities. They have created those realities and
thus are blocking an open view at the essential. By
inspiring a culture with all those spiritual-religious as
well as political hereditary treasures which are valuable
and of benefit for universal welfare, we create a culture
which makes our life safe. Thus we create our human
instinct, the implementation of which suffering creature has
long been waiting for. Praying alone: "Your
realm shall come" is too weak, too faint-hearted and in
respect of damages we cause it is just irresponsible. Nobody
is to be made excessive demands of, however, time has come
to make clear, especially for those adherent to monotheistic
religions, that it depends on us what is and what shall be.
No longer we can wait for God or other authorities. We are
responsible. And entire evolution backs us. If it is said: "you
are not to make yourself a picture of God!", this means we
are requested to avoid fighting for a "right or true" image
of God and we should focus on creature as being the mirror
of GAIA, or, to whom this does not mean anything, we
should focus on nature as being the reflection of life
energy. Nature is our teacher. In the end we also learn from
ourselves as we are part of nature. We have to support her,
as it cannot be ingenious to fight her. It does not pay if
we destroy her. We would destroy ourselves. Being aware of
authority of life, of all the power of evolution assisting
us we are released from fear and ready to overcome the last
obstacle on our road to the goal of humanity. Openly we
confess to global community of life. We refuse our support
to planners of gaining power by means of death and
destruction and to owners of rule over war and greed. More
still: we invite them to follow our vision. In continual
relation to each other and to necessities for our habitat we
succeed in organizing world community for an all-round
advantage. United in spirit we finally create peace, which
already waited for us for a long time. We receive and
maintain this peace from now on by - before following new
ideas - examining them first for their benefit regarding
global community. Such an examination is not only a question
of cool science, it is rather an experience of the whole, a
sensitive adjustment with all our mental as well as
emotional abilities, it is consequence and implementation of
human responsibility in regard to everything which is dear
and worth. By doing so we gain a
world, which we can present to our children with pride and
confidence. A world which does not require fees, where
nobody has to pay for a right to exist. A world where common
properties like atmosphere, water, territory are regarded as
such and are not sold to exploitation. A world in which
material wealth in relation to desperate poverty is no
longer regarded as an indication of success or divine right
but is regarded as what it is: a reference to theft,
robbery at public welfare, as offences at creation, as
ignoring our task of life, as a blasphemy.
EASTER
- Celebration of Resurrection? (german) Christians
celebrate resurrection of Christ; non-Christians celebrate
resurrection of nature some of them with heathenish customs
like Easterfires, others with a conscious regarding of
plants and animals. Certainly
there are also combinations of celebrating. Many people
probably celebrate Easter as such not at all, but use those
holidays for an extended weekend, for sport and
recovery. Resurrection?
What for and why? It is time to
understand Easter more broadly and more comprehensively
because it refers to resurrection of possible and truthful
human species as it is prepared by creation or by
nature. Similar to
development of caterpillars to butterflies human indivuduals
would have to resurrect to such, which
bear reality - from beings, who
define and isolate themselves ever more, to such, who are
sociable - from beings, who
always and exclusively function by being socially
conditioned, to such, who
structure themselves and modify society too
- from selfish
beings, who are poor in self perception, to such, who
transcend themelves - from beings, who
look for success, victory and God, to such, who
find meaning of Life in supporting and celebrating global
community An appropriate new
Happy Easter - Message could read: We are a unique and
unmistakable part of resurrecting, i.e. ever renewing,
wonderful nature, we carry responsibility for her, for the
coming generations and for the habitableness of the
planet. Happy
Easter!
