We have reached the point where mankind either reaches a level of maturity that respects, not worships, technology and materialism; and realizes the true meaning of life lies within their human hearts not in a lust for material objects.
Mankind has obviously not grown socially as fast as technologically over the past century. This quotient, the ability to get along vs blowing each other up, will decide if humanity survives at all.
The evil-doers are here to make us play our hand, hasten this deadly high stakes game, and get to a resolution that will determine our fate.
Which humanity will survive? Good or evil? Will the world a century from now be a Mad Max movie, a version of the Soilent Green movie, or a paradise? The ultimate factor for survival in the evil empire is people must have money to survive, they must work for the corporate state to exist. Money has become the ticket for survival. People are slaves to money. I remember a young woman say during an interview describing her new boyfriend, "he isn't that good looking, but he has good credit." She was dead on. Women are now using different criteria to choose their mates. Survival of the strongest has added the credit rating to the formula for natural choice.
Who will survive? The indigenous cultures are being killed off and assimilated into the money empire in: Nigeria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, in the Andes, the Philippines, and here in North America on the Indian reservations. But it is claimed that the meek shall inherit the Earth - will they? One can conclude that humanity's salvation rests within the heart of the meek and we must look into and adapt their culture and their heart if we are to mature socially and thus survive our own evil ways. The money empire grows in its ruthless and merciless ways and is leading humanity to annihilation. The ways of the indigenous cultures lead to respect for all life including our fellow humans. In 2004 humanity will be drawn closer to resolving which path it will go down.
Will the resolution for humanity be for ultimate good or ultimate evil? Saying NO TO WAR means saying YES TO LIFE. The Earth wins when materialism is treated with respect and not wasted with wanton abandon. The game of LIFE is won when the meaning of life has non-materialistic goals and is replaced with the ideals of the heart. May the powers on high bless us and keep us in their grace.
Have a Merry Christmas
May your goals for the New Year be met
May your connection to life hold you and keep your humanity true
May the blessings of the on-high grace your every day
