Addi.... >>Yes... indeed.. it is always nice to talk about conceptual love and peace from where all you see and feel is love, security and peace! I challenge you to go and live among a bunch of psyhcopath Muslims (the likes you like to show them your love such as the Osama groupies, etc.), or the Pakistanis near the border with Afghanistan, or heck.. go to any Islamic country ... and then I want to see if you even live to talk about peace and love! The other day they held the service for a 17 year old innocent girl who died during the Sunday mass in a church in Pakistan as a result of the barbaric bombing attack of a bunch of Muslims! Yeah... sure... love and peace... go ahead.. talk to them about love and peace!>> I have no/zero fear. I have driven and walked through the inner city ghettos here in Chicago, East St. Louis and elsewhere. And it wasn't because I was out to sing in la la land. I even took my two young sons and my and my wife driving around North Avenue and Laramie to meet face to face personally with individuals some of whom had committed financial fraud against me and my business. I didn't run from evil. I faced it directly, head on like a human being who respects other individuals. I know that evil is a coward. It shudders and cannot stand even the mention of truth. It shudders and cannot stand even the mention of light. It shudders and cannot stand even the mention of true love. And if it doesn't shudder it simply laughs and hides in the darkness from where it came. The Devil, Satan and all that is evil is us!! It is simply inverted, perverted spiritual energy which, when it's reflected through us, binds and enslaves us in an insane state of fear, sadness, frustration or anger. But what is there to fear? Your true spirit is eternal and the essence of life is all about freely and unconditionally embracing this ONE truth from this ONE light-energy from our creator and freely reflecting and sharing it with others. The fact that your thought patterns are negatively inflected to square against and judge and claim and blame and shame means you are a contributing party to this same evil drama that's unravelling all over the world day after day. Yes, these spirits know that the time they've had to make war against the truth while enslaving mankind is rapidly coming to an end. For the tops - ie. the restraints - are being taken off all these Wizard of Oz control-distrust models which mankind has been unwittingly duped into believing, serving and slaving for. And when the curtains get pulled there's a mad scrambling effect for these spirits need to seek new methods and forms of darkness in order to define, get, claim, control and destroy more energy that is rapidly leaving their control castles. I believe THE core evil behind all this madness is the sanctioned payments and seeded divisions which begin and end with the politics of this world which is the politics of money. Follow the money Addi and you will find ONE source of evil paying for and financing BOTH sides of this madness. I am writing you as an individual who seeks to carry NO card or label which defines me or others as far as being conditionally bounded or restricted by anything. For our spirits are infinite. We each carry the seed, the direct connection to our ONE Father who is all around us and in us and who emmanates from the Sun of Heaven which is the source, the End of all. We are all made in His image which is the image of God who created the entire universe. This is not something to claim!! It's simply a basic truth to receive and share and celebrate!! But when we fight others we are denying and shutting down the entire process of FREEDOM - ie. freely receiving and sharing this ONE Energy, this ONE Light and this ONE Love from our ONE God. Remember, evil cannot stand even the hint of this light, this energy and this love. For evil seeks to claim conditions through which this energy, light and Love can be controlled, thus enslaving individuals to their fears, frustrations and anger. All because of this insane belief in limits!! Limits which are ALL illusions!! It's like the entire world is hell bent on believing to their dying death that the earth is flat or that the sun actually revolves around the earth!! This is total, complete and utter madness and insanity!! IT SIMPLY DOES NOT COMPUTE!! And I'm being very direct about stating this. This isn't "La-La Land" airey, fairly peace and flowers and all that. I am walking deep inside THE CASTLE and saying YES!!! I am walking deep inside THE CASTLE and shining the light!! I am walking deep inside THE CASTLE and am offering to carry the Wizard outside to the light of this New Day which is transforming the world from Darkness to Light, from Hatred to Love. And as The Monkeys sang years ago "I'm a Believer...." Signing off with a smile.... 119293!!

Addi: As I was catching up reading the prior posts, I was thinking about what islam has to say about heaven or paradise with respect to women. This in light of the latest news from Jerusalem where another female suicide bomber has struck at the beginning of Passover. I take it the men don't expect to see the women they've debauched their whole lives as part of the 72 as allah must be creating these just for them. When I think about heaven, I think about seeing all my loved ones who have preceded me, and there is an openess, understanding and forgiveness such that all our human sin and past transgressions between one another are melted away. With the rest, I will then await those loved ones that are yet to come. Since muslim mens' view of heaven is therefore much different from mine, do they not expect to see their mothers and sisters in the afterlife? What do they expect to happen to their souls when they die? And what do they tell muslim women about all this? As a result of not knowing the answer to all these questions, I keep wondering why muslim women don't revolt and believe that they are the solution in the end. When there are enough muslim men killed to stop the terror, there will be left, mostly women. Can you enlighten me Addi, and perhaps touch on how other religions in the region deal with this. Thanks Regards Bob
