Today the Pope is in Santiago, Cuba, with Fidel Castro; long-time opponents, these men nonetheless share similar qualities which enable them to work together.
Similarly, the Catholic people and Sinn Fein are working together with the British Premier for the first time in ~75 years for the purpose of peace. Yet such efforts are constantly frustrated by the various evil movements of people, such as in today's news as the Protestant Loyalist Volunteer Forces shot an innocent Catholic man working laying pipes in North Belfast, this the sixth such incident since Christmas.

What can we as people do? Are we completely out of the loop with respect to world events? I think not. I think that while many Catholics are socially conscious individuals, with views and ideas expressed in the workplace and in the family, we are "socially silent," that is, silent as a whole. If it were an effort of Catholics to organize as a unified whole in response to issues of world peace -- well, I leave it up to you to speculate on what that could imply, what that could do. So my question here is, would you be willing to participate in such unified social movements? Why or why not?

there are bishops and priests in every country and every region of the world and they are in continuous contact with the vatican.information,always for the betterment of people,is passed to other governments too.the vatican has legates or nuncios in most of the world capitals.there is no reason to think that the church is out of the circuit when it comes to peace.the church was columbus protesting the existence of the school of the americas.the church is in algeria where they are being persecuted by moslems.the berrigans and others were rather visible during the vietnam conflict.i cant think of a conflict that the church has not tried to mediate.but always the emphasis is on justice.

Let us consider the beginning.

Imagine endless empty space that goes on into infinity non-existence no awareness EVIL.

If we consider the old saying life finds away. GOD came into being by his own will to be, the awareness. Born out of the non-existence the EVIL.

Imagine an awareness hovering in endless space or Darkness as HE would see it.

After a time his thoughts become collective and he begins to think. He is aware of himself and begins to wonder if there were another. After searching for countless billions of years, the loneliness consumes him into obsession with finding another. But there is no other but him. He splits into two separate entities (schizoid only for real) that are equal and opposite in nature. Light - that which creates (Life - the future). Darkness(SHE : Spirit that inhabits the Darkness- The past) - Destroys makes desolate. Each has the same goal to end the loneliness only they have diametrically opposite positions on how to go about it. Chaos vs. Order, Light vs. Darkness, Life vs. Death, Existence vs. non-existence or Good vs. Evil. GOD is the awareness of being before the Darkness. We stand between the Darkness and the Light. Our true purpose is to Be. For that is the will of GOD - to be because HE is. Ja'El they said. When GOD comes again if he comes into Darkness the Earth will be cleansed with the fire of GOD (His true form). If GOD comes into the Light he will make the Earth a new with the Tree and the River of Life. All things are possible if we believe. The power of the Holy Spirit is promised to us by Jesus Christ.

That is why no one has seen GOD because he became separate from himself. The two have to be united into their new form. They want to come and live us,their children and the Angles of Light and Darkness. We are the key to setting them Free from the loneliness forever. Revelation chap 17 Behold the Beast that was (EVIL or non-existence reined in the beginning there was no awareness) and is not (Evil- the tendency towards non-existence cannot exist in pure form) and yet is (If we lose our sense of awareness the EVIL will return and nothing will exist)

The River of Life is man's final salvation. The fruit of Tree of Life is for the Fallen Angles Consummation, Turn from Darkness back to the awareness of GOD. The Leaves are for the Healing of the Nations. The sword of Power blocks our way to it and blinds us from The one who was (The True GOD, the past) The one who is (Man the children of GOD, the present) The one who will be (Christ - the son of man, the future). We will become like the others and they will become like us. The evolution.

The way is through Awareness - GOD's will to be. Understanding is Knowing the Truth Understanding is Accepting the Truth The Truth leads to Understanding which leads to Awareness which strengthens our will to Be.

The Truth is put before us but, they do everything they can to keep us from Understanding it.

We have to show them that we are not children anymore. That we have learned to Understand the Truth. And the Truth shall set us all Free. They are counting on us and we can't let them down. But it is ultimately up to them to change - Free will.

Mystery? Who are you? Man who stands between the Darkness and the Light. What do you want? Freedom Why are you here? To bring order to chaos. Where are you going? The Future

The End of Time - The New Beginning

Friends,

If you wish to converse with Mr. Borne, please go to the thread he started (and to which I responded). It is called, "I'm looking for intelligent opinions not blind lashings Thank you." He posted the same message to start that thread. Please do not respond to him here.
