Unification is the Holy Grail You Seek

Unity is spiritual reunification. Many roads take us home into the heart of peace. When you are at peace, you will not stand apart. We are one and god is our true nature. Our true nature is love and this is the Garden of Eden that is sustainable.

THE HOLY GRAIL

The game of cat and mouse,
Is not a game,
I watch squirming from the landing,
As the cat toys with a dying mouse,
It is motionless,
Frozen with fear,
As the cat wants to see motion,
So it can pounce and feel its power,
Thrown up in the air to show strength,
Chew, chase, paw it to make it move,
Its tail slashes from right wing to left,
As if excited by the drama,
And then it bites to inflict dominance,
I am a bystander I throw a stone,
To make it stop,
As I find the play of life and death hard to watch in peace.

Then my mind travels to the Middle East,
I see cat and mouse,
Humans can play the same game with cruel intent,
How would I cope in a war zone?
Where war games are played with impunity,
Some humans like to see the other squirm,
To know they are in pain and paralysed,
To gain the upper hand at the weakest point,
In an endless cycle of violence,
That traumatises both populations,
Leaving each in perpetual fear of attack,
Demonising the other as evil.

Yet dishonesty prevents problem solving,
Ownership prevents the sharing of land,
Isolated groups prevent normalised contact,
Religion and language became ID passes to racism and intolerance,
One a regional military market economy,
The other a 4th world urban slum of shepherds,
As the crown of thorns is the bleeding wound,
As each has a cross to bear,
Yet the symbol of real power was to choose love over fear,
In the face of death,
As One learned to live in the Garden of Eden,
The symbolic peace in oneself is faith in God.

The righteousness of religion and politics.
Are games of power and control,
I see a cat and mouse,
Strategic strikes to push over resistance,
Can anybody see the folly? The failure?
The endless waste of resources?
Blinded by fear and fanaticism as abuse,
Cloaked in nationalism as defence,
Yet grounded in selfish self interest,
That cannot feel the pain each inflicts on innocence in the name of God,
An eye for an eye escalates violence in truth.

Do unto others as you would have done to you,
Love your neighbour,
Do not judge each other,
Forgive each other,
The sermon on the Mount preached by a Jew,
Take in orphans,
Marry women to assist them economically,
Give charity and show mercy,
Love one another,
Make peace,
An inspired vision of Mohammad the merciful,
Messages of peace are not at war,
For the act of violence knows no mercy,
It is the antipathy of empathy,
Yet the Middle East is the perfect place for the practice of peace,
I wonder in what passages war was instructed by the love of god?
For why would god kill its own creation?
So in the name of god, all are asked to stop.

Many speak of a holy land,
The Red Sea is now divided not parted,
You are stewards not sovereigns of the land,
A steward has a duty of care,
A sovereign owns power,
One is sustainable,
The other leads to the path of total destruction.

So to those of religion and political power,
You have misunderstood your holy pre-texts,
The truth was perverted by fears and greed,
And this is the very evil created,
When you defend against attack,
When you attack against defence,
It is not love or compassion or an act of god,
It is simply man’s inhumanity to man,
For which the ruling parties must take responsibility and heal from past mistakes.

The way of the holy is peaceful action,
The way of love is to see the other as yourself,
The way of wisdom is to understand violence leads you away from holy ground,
For the key to peace is within each of you,
And the Holy Grail is buried under the rubble,
Now resurrect truth and reconciliation for good,
For you are The Way and the Life,
May Peace Be Upon you,
All ways,
For each of you is blessed,
by creation.
