Sublime surrealism at its best? One can dream can't he?<g> LOL, I'd offer a peace treaty with the world as well. Do away with income taxes, inflation and interest on debt,.... maybe 1%....I could go on and on about real change<g> SUBLIME SURREALISTS.... determined to gain control of a combined subconscious by way of tantalizing insinuations of an immortal hereafter being promised only to those who commit themselves to complacent sub-service to their antichrist, are slowly monopolizing this world and all who live within it. One day I fear we will realize far too late that we have allowed their conquering of the world. We, as a human race, a lower form of life by all statistics, are apparently sleepwalking through life with our conscience oblivious to the power of this type of mind control. (Is it too late to for us to awaken the innocent minds we've taught to sleep?) Born into a life where we are taught from day one to believe in such grandiose themes as Knights in armor on white stallions who save princesses and slay dragons, a man in a red and white suit stuffing presents down chimneys, fairy-like creatures who leave money for teeth, and bunnies who hide eggs and fill baskets with candy, and in the same instance are told of a supreme creator whom died so that we might live and while he's never seen still he exists, we are defenseless to discerning truth from untruth. We never learn to apply reason or logic to such fantasia, only to dream and believe in fairytales. When our parents read us bedtime stories they never once explained that the imagination could be just as dangerously destructive as it can be inspiring. Instead, while they spin their tales of beauty and the beast and Snow White and the seven Dwarfs, they set the stage for our minds to accept the possibility of surreal being real. We are too young to know that logically there are no such things as dragons or sleeping potions or mirrors that can talk, we only know that these people that we are supposed to believe and trust are telling us these things and through childlike innocence we allow our minds to believe in the unbelievable. Sure as we get older we start testing the spirits, so to speak, and defying our parents, we stay up late to catch this ever eluding man called Santa Claus or hide our baby teeth somewhere other than our pillow to trick the tooth fairy so we might catch a glimpse of her/him, no longer as willing to accept just our parents' word of their existence. Our persistence pays off with the painful realization that our parents have deceived us destroying our faith in them at the same time as creating doubt in all of our hopes and dreams of the future; OUR future, here on earth, as well as, in the hereafter with our Supreme Creator. Why is it that we bring children into the world and prior to teaching them anything real we instead choose to fill their minds with make-believe and tales of people and of creatures which they can never see but which they should still believe in? This serves only to create doubt in the existence of the one entity that does indeed exist but is never seen yet is the only real chance for salvation that this world has. I mean stop and think, we talk of Santa Claus and the reasoning behind why he's never seen along with the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny only to be exposed eventually for our betrayal, THEN, still expect our children to never doubt the existence of a supreme creator whom is never seen or heard? Especially when these same children have said prayers that have gone unanswered (or so it would seem to them) satisfactorily in their hearts and minds why must they believe us now? We lied before. So goes the scenario of parents setting the stage for our children to become disheartened and skeptical of any and all stories they hear and creating a barrier between them and their salvation, or, subconsciously teaching our children that, unless proven without doubt to be false, every story they are told should be believed. Either way they are doomed. Without being given knowledge to apply reason and/or logic to the stories they are told, prior to them being told, it becomes easier for them to fall prey to these sublime surrealists spinning tales of life without pain, peace beyond nirvana, and a savior whom doesn't exist. Why wouldn't they lend credit to such absurdities when we ourselves have betrayed their innocence with lies of beings bearing gifts of toys, money, candy, all the things a child dreams of having instead of being honest where those things come from and why? I mean after all just because Santa, the tooth fairy, and the Easter Bunny may not TRULY be real we still tell them that a supreme creator exists and that they must believe in him. Without our ability to prove to them that such a creator exists after we have so blatantly betrayed their faith in our words with the Santa and gang lies, how can we expect them to be able to cast aside the possibility of yet another savior whom they are being told is a better savior than the supreme creator we have taught them of. Logically, we can't. Therefore, should our children fall prey to an antichrist, and his unholy soldiers, who's to blame but ourselves? We as parents and supposed protectors of our children and their soul's salvation have left them defenseless against the surrealist's fantasia being spun about them like a quicksilver snare. We have left them wide open to be engulfed by the mind manipulations of a combined conscience that would love nothing more than to see the destruction of all mankind. The past is written in stone, the present written in sand, and the future is controlled by the power of courage and faith. Without the courage and conviction of faith in what's real the world is wide open to being destroyed by none other than the very thing we have created…sublime surrealism. Irony at it's very best.
