We are companions - You and I

We are companions in the eternal kingdom now and forever. This much can be said between us, and between yourself and every other human being who now lives or has ever lived. You were born here on planet Earth and therefor you have become entangled in the trap of humanity. The possibility of seperation does not exist. Everything that serves to divide us must eventually pass away.

You are a single individual among 14 billion or so who have ever lived, and you are important too. But you are no more or less important than any other living person. In as much as we have imagined ourselves and others on some sliding scale of importance, we have practiced self-deception. This form of deception favors some people in a competitive world. And we have created heiarchies within our societies, heiarchies are a very effective way to organize a group effort. And there are many many things that we do like to accomplish in the world which can not be completed by a single individual. Even though our technology has made it possible for one individual to accomplish much more today than has ever been possible in the past. We have wrought many good tools in the world, and understand many of the basic principles of creation.

Do we honestly believe that we are all equals? Some people are more intelligent and some less, there is one cause of inequality. Some have better means available to them, there is one cause of inequality. Some are better educated, some are better employed. One man provides a service that many people have a demand for, therefor the person most in demand is more important?

The most disadvantaged person in the world, is also one of THE MOST important individuals. Because by this measuring stick we can disceren how successful we are as a species. But if you still want to view importance on a sliding scale, then I would like to introduce you to one of the oldest living things on the planet.

And that thing is 'Dirt!"

Dirt is a certain kind of living thing, there is myriad kinds of life in it, but it is as one body with many living cells. Dirt was born on planet Earth a very long time ago, and it has survived the rise and fall of many different species. In some places where dirt has died, it has become nothing but desert. But wherever the life of dirt does flourish, other kinds of life do flourish as well. Without the life of dirt, plant life would be impossible and all kinds of animal life on the land would also be impossible, including your own life. Your life does depend from the life of dirt, its life does not depend from yours, it does not even depend on animal life in general to exist.

If you want to place living things on a sliding scale of importance, the life of DIRT is immeasurably more important than your own individual life. Just to be sure you understand, "you are less important than dirt."

Now returning to the topic of divorce or seperation, its not at all a possibility for us any more. For all the crimes that have ever been commited we share a certain responsibility, and there are many. And for all the great accomplishments of our ancestors we should rightfully feel some pride, and there are many. It really doesn't matter if you are a firm believer in Genesis or Evolution, both stories draw to the same conclusion. We all share some common ancestors, we are all one family here. You and I have blood ties with every other human being on the planet. There are not many different races and nations of people here but only one race, the matter should have been sufficiently proven by now that we will all be forced to accept it. But there are still some people in this world who choose not to believe this thing, and this can only serve the cause of hatred.
