Can you identify who your ancestors are and.. your beautiful life reason for Being? If not, please, seek your mate for counseling so that you both can come to your destiny.

New Discussion: Rate, and muse the following:
Eternity’s Song

Why don’t you do
right
tonight
light
eternity
becoming
a beacon
to shine
with

sultry song
finer
than linen
sweeter
than any
tomorrow can bring
so
let it swing

like a stroll
along any
avenue
blue
cool
or up to
lovin
You

Bee doop
be doop de
boop de doo
ka whee
dee
da
do
ba do ba do

ooooh wee doo wee
do right
by
me

Isn’t it funny
how love
becomes a day
waiting for the
reins
of life
beyond Nature
and what it
has to say

Hi, little animal friends
who mean so well
what have we done
and where have we gone
to make your day
completely
a song
the Universe would
want to hear

Love is funny
too, sometimes
just that mad quiet
spell, thrust onto us
when we’re gone
away from the
sing
song

Beauty
is in
the eye of
the beholder
if you fall
too far
and I’m thinking
ohh, I’m thinking
I wouldn’t mind
at all
so long as
the end is like this one

Love without tears
without boundaries
put on those
who missed behaving
the way
you and I were
meant to
be

And so, the end comes
when we say
we’ll never let
it go
that wonderful
beautiful
dream… that our
togetherness will
show

One day
she’ll smile
next day
she’ll cry
roses
like petals
that fall
in Autumn

Day after day
to walk among
the songs
of our dunes
our ponds
our marshes
and lake
all things we
can keep
forever in our
hearts.


Roses
and togetherness
fond times
to share
with sweet
songs leading
to a kind of
love meant for
two people
who sing
the song of
eternity

What comes from our
hearts
we’ll, she’ll. I’ll
keep
forever together
as a sunset
to our
lives

Here's a thought I had today, after a long week of dealing with some die-hard meat eaters who thought it was funny to write a poem about a fox with babies and a wriggling dying rabbit in her teeth ready to have torn apart by the offspring:

---------------------------It's a bit harsh in the end, but, thought you might want to know I'm human, and I can get peeved, too. -------------------------------------------

I think the story of Adam, the unknown spiritual content man and his shadowy gf Eve are not suited for any spiritual book.****************************************

Spirituality, I believe, is about growth, evolution and living a life of peace, wonder and activites good for Earth, animal and human, not as we have it today a world of greed, murder of animals humans and the earth.*********************************

I don't believe there is such a thing as eating from a fruit of good and evil, really. I know for a fact there is no such thing as such a 'fruit' that would hold such weirde concepts, so what was this. I think it is not a 'fruit'. And, since evil needs to be defined, otherwise it is a weirde story, a weirde fruit and would not belong in any God's "Garden" but rather at a discussion table, if one needed counseling about how not to be bad, that is. So, this 'fruit' needs a better explanation as to what in the you know what it is supposed to represent. Period. **************************************************************************

Another thought: Evil to me is killing living things, killing them for food, killing via pollution, robbery, etc. So, would any sane person eat a fruit that had such vile things in it? Why would any 'spiritual leaning or out right spiritual person need to discuss or have such a vile thing in their garden? NO. Something is terribly wrong with all the religions of Earth not to be able to discuss just what the Jewish and Christian 'Bible/Torah' don't do for any of us. *******************

And, has anyone taken a look at the jumbled mess in the Koran? The death if you don't believe mentality of the minds who gobble up the jumbledness as if some kind of mandate? ******* As if sense isn't meant for the human being.... how sic sick and etc.*********************************************

And, if Adam and Eve and God did need to discuss evil why the heck didn't they, and then to surround this 'Garden of Eden' with hellishness and an overly simple non spiritual, non meditative 10 commandments....as if saying, out of the garden, to hell with you, and here, here are a few commandments that I know you won't obey anyway. Gads. What a srewed up Garden of Eden. I'm for disowning them and going enlightened. We don't need their religion.

Next, (obviously I am thinking in blocks of ideas here) without spelling out just what was discussed were are not privy to the mindset of these 2 crazy people.

****************** Are these 2 books a spirituality for the criminally minded? (The insane, in other words.) And, would rotten people chased out of a garden of peace of all things that could only make things worse, would these kinds of people ever ever care, anyway? ***********************************************

In other words, would religion make any difference to these types anyway?

NO!

Last, instant thought - These crazy religions have got to go!

PS Adam is a slacker and Eve is a naughty gal. I simply wouldn't write a book about these 2 sadly sick individuals and build a religion around them. Everyone who is a Christian, Jew, Muslim or otherwise, who believes worshipping a story about 2 crazy individuals is a 'religious' tenet of some kind needs to be put in a NUT HOUSE.
Ptuey, on such hooey!

think one way to begin thinking about what is wrong with all the world's religions, governments, tactics for control and so forth can be glimpsed and begun to be understood if we take a look at what we clearly know to be absurd.

For me, the absuridty that turned my mind around was listening to someone defend the Garden Of Eden, God of that garden, and the dismal plight of the two individuals cast out of it.

Here, gnaw on this:

What .... completely missed is the fact that this Judaic and now Christian God felt it necessary to create a Garden of Eden that had a forbidden or should I rename it... a POISONED apple in it.

And that this God... had the gall to tempt mortal beings with it.

And then this God had the gall to punish without counseling these two poor underdeveloped mortal beings... by throwing them out of the garden and into the perverted hell a world where animals and other living being eat each other for domination, food and sport.

And then, to have millions of people blindly worship the religion that worships these acts by this despotic God, just takes the CAKE!

Here's another concept, one that makes sense to mull over...and then you'll find that there is no reason to fault another for their ills, savvy or harsh ways... unless they hurt you, yours or the things you love, of course. Here it is, one could assume ... now that we see clearly how people kill animals and eat them with no misgivings... that Adam and Eve or any similar story in religion or lore... left the garden of Eden (the place of peace and kindnesses) on their own because they were of a menacing soul, and they knew the garden was too namby pamby for them.... (ahem...) Another thought next week, or maybe you have another view. THanks for all the comments. Glad to see that so many folks care enough to think about a more beautiful realm. Really, so very glad....

Comment by Eric Ekstrom on May 6, 2008 at 5:35am

Have you ever dreamed, day dreamed or walked a day where you thought of our world as peaceful, loving and without killing, war, greed and consumption of any foods whatsoever?
It's a good meditation, by the way, as well.
