-- A United World --

John Herlihy

 

Whispers of impatience

Bring

Whispers of discontent.

 

Whispers of patience

Bring

Whispers of contentment.

 

Vigilance in the morning

Brings

Patience in the evening.

 

Patience in the evening

Brings

Peace in the morning.

 

Good deeds in life

Bring

Weight upon the scale.

 

Bad deeds in life

Bring

Weight upon the scale.

 

A statement of contrition

Brings

A a sense of humility.

 

A statement of defiance

Brings

About a sense of irritability.

 

An act of kindness

Brings

Love into the world.

 

An act of vengeance

Brings

Hate into the world.

 

The forces of noise

Bring

Disorder into the heart.

 

The forces of silence

Bring

Peace into the heart.

 

Everything in this world

Brings

Some kind of consequence.

 

The virtue of a person

Brings

A united world as recompense.

There are causal relations of all events in this dimension that are said to be registered in the Akashic Records. Perhaps as long as we remain contained in inflicted cyclical processes that (try to) prevent infinite progress. But knowledge in this realm is a perceptual enterprise (David Bohm), so there may be unknown reasons that cause what seems to exist.

WE WERE UNITED...BUT IN SICKNESS, DEATH AND SORROW. I DREAM A SPECIAL DREAM...THAT ONE DAY THIS WORLD COULD BE UNITED IN GOD'S PURE LOVE OF BROTHERHOOD AND UNDERSTANDING. BUT I KNOW, ON THIS SIDE OF ETERNITY... IT WILL NEVER BE. STILL...IT'S PEACEFUL AND ENCOURAGING TO THE SOUL TO HAVE A 'UNITED WORLD' TO LOOK FORWARD TO. ENJOYED. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS INSPIRATIONS

Yes, the weight of our deeds exceeds our thoughts of what could or should be.

Why I am so concerned about religion. It seems those who are most indoctrinated to religions like Christianity or Islam are the most conservative and willing to commit vile acts to try to preserve their, often oppressive beliefs like the inferiority of women and others, rather than a more open and inclusive society.

But I'm also very optimistic that the Internet, scientific inquiry, and the nature of young people to be more accepting and curious about differences, to lead us into a world where hatred and war will eventually fade into the way humans behaved under strict religious rules before we grew up and started taking responsibility for our actions alone.

It is the responsibility of each of us to create the world we wish to see...
All actions effect the ultimate outcome...
we are interdependent and reliant on each other for this outcome...
