Save the Babies

When will it end? When will the world learn that life is a precious and sacred thing within the multiverse.
Last week end several children were gunned down in the inner city of Chicago.
We can march all day and night and it will not stop this violence that seems to be rooted in our DNA. This violence is so pervasive that we no longer even consider living in the world without violence!!

I refuse to accept that we were created for this kind of mayhem and havoc.
We are not animals to devour one another but divine instruments given to creativity and celebration.
I refuse to be assimilated into a culture that respects things more than human life It is less than human and selfish. I pray for the suffering and pain of the families in the time of their lost.

We use violence to make other cultures conform to our self interest.

We need to recognize how this culture of violence that we live in and promote
creates a pattern of behavior for the global community.
Watch how we will retreat from the campaign promises and reset our agenda with an agenda to meet the standard of violence in this culture.
There is a deep seated and pervasive nature to the use of violence as it is related to self interest. We are no different than the war mongers within other cultures.
We just "throw the rock and hide our hand". We participate in violence like all the rest.

Gaza strip is another example of violence in Religious history

We do not have to wait very long for examples surrounding violence to be presented to global community.
The killing of the people of Palestine and Israel is another example of the need for religious communities to win and lose through the use of violence.
What would Jesus do is just a way of deferring the truth about these nations. We cannot offer resolution without destruction violence and suffering.
To consider peace with the use of force is not within the global Religious communities cognitive ability.

Violence and Gaming and the search for Peace.

We can see a vast arena of influence created by the gaming industry with the use of violence. Consider the Gods of War series and other violent plot scenarios on the web and in the stores.Here is a virtual reality plot that trains the gamer on the use of ruthless violence in order to advance in the gaming world created. We understand that this kind of gaming is valuable to the military but we must consider the cost to humanity. How can we stop prevasive violence if this kind of recreation is flooding our young peoples reality?

Violence as a weapon of self interest

Violence and the quest for global sentience

There are two kinds of people who inhabit the earth. There are people who operate in a reality that reflects the products of self interest, material, and intellectual fabrication; and there are people who from the intimate caverns of their heart, operate in a reality of freedom and love for all life. There are no people who sit in the middle of this division of operation.

Both peoples are vexed by the inability to grow beyond the present violent reality within the world they inhabit. Both groups have not been able to claim the sentient intellect of a civilized global community. Each of these groups would strive to be “better” or more civilized as a people; however both still employ systems of violence to exist as a community.

The first group makes no pretense in their desire to control and dominate the reality they inhabit. The world they understand to be real is for their manipulation and use. All existence belongs to those who show the power, ability and desire to exploit everything in that reality. Anything that does not exist within the material reality is not worth their interest. Violence is a necessary tool to be used by those who need to control others that are contrary to their interest.

The other group recognizes that violence to life forms is an error in judgment, however the quality of life that they are accustomed to is Supported by the violent actions of first group. They face a seemly unanswerable quandary. To reject the actions of the first group is to cause issues and problems to arise in their own group.

Thus the simple solution has been to avoid any communication at this level with anyone but those who agree and understand these concerns.The time for silence has ended. These two groups of potential sentient life on this planet must communicate and remove the use of violence From human community.

Violence is in our DNA as a society

There has never been a time in the history of America where we did not consider the use of violence to meet our national interest. We have always been a violent nation. It is part of our make up as a society to use violence. We just want somebody else to do the deed for us. We allow violence to be a part of our reality because it selves our interest!!
