What of men with bombs and murderous hearts?

Q:  Mike, in a recent NOTE you said:

"Just as you may now think, with some amusement, about prior civilizations who thought your earth was flat, there will be others, in the not too distant future, who will reel in disbelief that there was ever a time when abundance wasn't seen as spiritual, where a dream's manifestation wasn't considered inevitable, and that there were multitudes who knew so little of their importance, their power, and of how deeply they were loved."

However, at the risk of being called cynical & with all due respect, [what of] the multitudes being slaughtered and the children maimed around the world for the greed & satisfaction of men with bombs & murderous hearts? What of their power & importance & how deeply are they loved!?


A:  Not to sound condescending, but I think that you could have only asked your question if you didn’t believe that those men you ask of weren’t also GOD. If you didn’t believe they were doing their best, however misguided, in a world that absolutely terrified them. If you didn’t believe that further, endless adventures didn’t await us all. If you didn’t believe that everyone now alive chose to live at this extremely primitive juncture, fully aware of its inherent “risks”. And if you didn’t also believe that what the physical senses show is mere illusion.

Yes, in the dream of life greed exists, people suffer unimaginably, and at times it seems chaos reigns, yet at the very same time, in the very same dream, charity, divine grace, and perfect order are what set the stage, they are what gives those other terms meaning, and they remain infinitely more prevalent. While in the greater reality, from which this dream emerged and to where we’ll all return, nothing is ever lost and no one is ever hurt, though the lessons, laughter and love experienced here, will indeed make us richer there.

So, yes, I believe they too are all-powerful, all-important, and unfathomably loved, in spite of their confusion.
