I come from a long line of humans--I trace my ancestry to Africa and the journey out of Africa into the Middle East and on into Asia and Europe--I trace myself back to Cro-Magnon and Homo sapiens. My ancestors painted images--beautiful images on rock faces in Africa and in caves in Europe 40,000 years ago and more. We began to bury our dead and decorate our bodies and make beads and tools and weapons and lived and prayed and sang and danced together. And, yes, sickness killed us and animals killed us and sometimes cold and famine killed us and we suffered pain both emotional and physical, but we had words and we spoke to one another and told each other of our visions and dreams and where to hunt and where to find other foods and medicines and we prevailed and went everywhere--across seas to continents and islands and we began to control the planet with our clear objective minds and our belief in the Spirit of the earth and heavens and other creatures and plants.
Then, as our control grew, we got into agriculture and ownership and our control extended to other animals and men over women and children. Civilizations, supposedly great ones such as the Aztec and Mayan and Egyptian and Greek and Roman grew, and the killing became earnest then as these "great" civilizations were built on the backs of slaves and sacrifices of little children and beheadings and mutilating began so that those who grabbed power through our spiritual beliefs, our religions and those who grabbed power through material possessions could rule the people through fear and Bibles were written; beautiful stories full of blood and lust for power and these were held to be true and righteous and used against us to justify and verify the power of the few while we grew poorer as our rich heritage was taken from us and our slavery became more and more abject. Now we have malls and skyscrapers and large powerful means of transportation and electricity which causes light to happen anytime--day or night--and with light comes pollution, killing everything. And we cry, "Yes, but where is the Light?" and some say they have it and others say it doesn't exist.
And as the grip of the power grabbers tightens around our collective necks, we are now choking and gasping and we're finally getting angry and we want out--not into more wealth, but we want to reach out again and with our words talk of our visions and dreams and hopes and we begin to whisper to each other that there must be a different Way and we begin to mail notes to each other through our invention--our computers and what we've come to call the World Wide Web--the place where all the greedy ones have infiltrated with their ads for stuff and pornography and weapons and their negative news--their media that re-confirms we are trapped and caught in the misery and no way out. In spite of all that, through the "Web" we speak to one another and we are telling each other there must be a revolution.
And now I see that we have come to the current ruling civilization: The American one which has stretched its might, its power through finance and has conquered most of the world and made them financial partners to rule us together. They come from Asia and the Middle East and Africa and Europe and the American continent and they all look alike, though their skin colors and costumes may be different, and they are transported about as kings and emperors of old were transported in their litters borne on the shoulders of slaves; only now the litters, the vehicles, are run on wheels and are called limos and are bulletproofed against us and they have slave chauffeurs and slave bodyguards and they speak the same financial lies and support armies everywhere on the planet, our Earth, causing pain and havoc, and the people feel their slavery more than ever as they are bound and gagged into the financial rulership. And the American slaves are bought daily with titillating pornographic and violent films and games and toys and usurious interest to keep buying and listening to the words of their rulers and now the power circle is complete and the democracy has gone away to the few who manipulate, lying and buying their way to power using words to divide and conquer us rather than unite us.
And, now, I, who trace my ancestry back 40,000 years and more, am contacted by those of my fellow humans--unhappy, angry, frightened by the pervasive and obvious corruption unto pain and I am told there must be a revolution and I agree and we ask each other how? because we know it must be a revolution of conscience and consciousness, one without killing. They tell me that God can't save us and I say, ah, but yes, the God-Force, the God energy can and will save us and we must align ourselves with that Force, with that Energy that is in Everything including ourselves and move forward and change everything: our way of doing business and the way we live our lives in order to save our children and grandchildren's lives.
And the promise of my ancestry will once again be alive and bright, shining back and forth through the eons--shining, from rocks and caves onto computer screens and new churches which will once again share our visions, dreams and most of all our precious words--so once again we will talk with one another and need no interveners between ourselves and what is Divine. No more priests, kings, emperors or presidents to manipulate our Divine dialog. We will become powerful at last and prevail.
Love to you,
Arol
