 The Book

Randolph J. Giles

Copyright 2013 by Randolph J. Giles

Smashwords Edition

 

 

Professor Martinelli of Cambridge speaking to students at Columbia University; It is said that the book was written a millennium ago. It was said that it was written prior to man inhabiting the Earth, before man even knew of a God or speculated that there ever was one. Some say that the word was written by aliens from a distant world in attempt to instill order to mankind and to teach man to be righteous, but there are others that believe that the book was written to control!

 

Have you ever asked yourself who said that the boys were to wear blue and girls wear pink? Do you know and do you know why? It’s not like we needed a color to distinguish the two sexes or genders, the differences are obvious even to a blind man or blind women, so why the color association for the different genders? 

 

In Egyptian times the men and women adorned themselves with make up fine linens and clothing and jewelry and sometimes the men would look even more beautiful than their female counterparts, but then there was separation due to class.  There was a labor class, slaves, royalty and those in government and those in religion again a separation for the people were made. The biggest divider was money. Money decided the amount of power a person had and the more money you had the more influential you were over the other classes.

 

Why was it so important for man to distinguish himself from another with all mankind being human and why is it so important? Why is it important that you say that you are a White man, Caucasian, Asian man, Black man, Red man? And in those man made classifications there are still more divisions, Irish, Scottish, Italian, African, Arab, Turkish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Tibetan, Cherokee, Navaho, Apache, Comanche just to name a very few.

 

With all of the fore mentioned so called races there is truly only one and that is the HUMAN race!!

 

Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist and the various divisions within them in which men, women and children for over a millennium died in the name of such beliefs.

 

From the book there have came many laws, laws that through time although out dated still exist today. I ask you can you fix a 2013 car with a Ford instruction manual that is over 200 years old or build a cruise ship with a blue print from the Viking era, yet the power that be, fight and even kill to keep these prehistoric man made and even some supposed God made laws in place.

 

As I look at these facts and they are facts, I see how mankind is so divided so weak so vulnerable and the book that comes to my mind is Sun Tzu the Art of War . . .

 

New caster; “Today the International Space Station’s radar picked up thousands of what appear to be space crafts heading towards Earth, news at eleven . . .
