I don't think many people really get it. Sometimes, the
"lesser of two evils" - amounts
literally to DIVINE GOOD ... and the WILL OF GOD.
God at least wants us to have a
fighting chance. Christ's Love
is unfailing, perfect ... yet the opposition desired, and desires, a situation in which -
- the lesser self may prevail over the greater.
What better way than to enslave humanity, and
slowly deprive us of every last
freedom that we have won, and come to cherish and enjoy?
The World War was a tragedy,
but it was a triumphfor the Forces of Light. I don't know if most Christians share this perspective, or believe that this is so. Yet I have been taught that
the form is not as important as
the LIFE.
The form, I believe, is our
means of gaining `Eternal Life' - but, in keeping with the thread topic, this is
not something we seek for,
for self alone.
Call it irony, but at, and after a certain point,
we cease to live - for the "lesser self" alone. We learn to identify with
the selves of all men (Humanity) ... and THIS is what it means to
put the needs of the Greatest Number, above the desires of the smaller number,
or the one.
Sure I'm an Idealist.
And damn proud of it!!!
Where the rubber meats the road?
Ah yes, that's where I'm working toward Perfection ... just like YOU!
