his servants, slaves to God
bringing his invitation
that the feast is ready
the wedding about to begin
while guests we are
accepting the invitation
we now offer to others
that same wondrous gift
to be guests of the king,
to become slaves to God

Rape kill pillage and burn
when i was a little child- i used to play innocently with army soldiers- play guns with water or lights and sounds- play cops and robbers with guns- the battle between cowboys and Indians(first peoples)- a child will play with anything and see the fun in everything. and then a decade goes by, where many young boys with goodness in their hearts begin to be harden- to sing songs like " rape kill pillage and burn"- as in force recon and other infantry units- it is the same all over the world-
WHY?
why does man subconsciously have this extreme destructive behavior towards one another-
why does man force man to submit in prison systems such as with rape and control-etc etc
why do the children of god has this feature of our behavior-
YOU DESERVE IT-
if you read this message upon a wonderful invention of only recent years-you are probably of western society or at least a level of stability and sustenance to live life with opportunities as opposed to third world nations or poor persons within the community of a richer industrialized society- you are privileged and lucky somewhat-
what do you with most of your time as half the worlds children die of a very simple ailment from dirty drinking water- it seems clear that when a human being is given free will and freedom with too much excess that may be used for pleasure or selfish means- one will do so- over and over again a more privileged individual will find themselves in a world where they seek immediate satisfaction for themselves- to live for themselves- to look out for themselves -
prior to one century- the vast majority of the worlds population still cut their arm to bleed out infections-without refrigeration for stored food- man was always on the hunt for fresh food- without ease of electricity for warmth and utilization to make our lives far more easier and comfortable- prior to one century- the vast majority struggled just to stay alive-
thus-prior to one century- most human beings since beginning of time struggled very very hard just to stay alive against natures fury and competing families just trying to stay alive-
so why do we get ugly about it?
it seems evident and clear most human beings-children of god-know there is an intrinsic feeling of wonder just being alive- to live life to its fullest- to enjoy whenever you can- like an amusement park ride so to speak- but the earth itself is the ride- and the duration of the ride is life itself- upon our death we are in the spirit world- maybe we wait for another chance- infinity is at hand-
however, for this topic-let us understand it is obvious this amusement park ride is a function OF ALL OF US to come together and help one another so we can make civilization- and man has done well in such a short time since rubbing two sticks-
time to spread upon the earth- time to come together in population density to receive ideas from one another- time to achieve one finding after another- cannot jump any steps- for one must walk before run- or babel before talk-
just like in your own life how quick you are to just "lay around" to procrastinate- to just "have fun" over and over again-
as the world is still primitive- still cold from winters-still sick from simple ailments-still seeking stability as some neighbors just think for themselves-
THUS- the hungry eyes and mouths strike out-pain is in their gut and soul- and so pain is how they lash out- from an individual to a nation state- it is the same- if man cannot share resources between one another- they will battle-
watch a child try to share a toy- it is in our instinctive behavior to control and dominate-
WHY- so man may push one another and be on the edge for us to WAKE UP AND WORK TOGETHER OR FIGHT-
if you are not my friend- then how can i trust you to be neutral and not my enemy for your own selfish means-
this behavior has prope3lled mankind to such a state of civilization so fast that a time has come-
first a period of media and technology for all man to witness to themselves we are truly one race- all children to god- so many shows where we may learn from one another- even prison shows that teach man even the bad or so called evil ones are humans with a reason why they did it- from lack of love or food or shelter- man will struggle and fight if he must-
man has a best friend in western society- the dog- eaten in other parts of the world for food- but in the west man learns why he is your best friend- you feed it- you shelter it-you accept it as family-
do this to any human being and you will find a friend- or go thru life seeking just one on your hand if lucky-
what reward is there in heaven if you love only what loves you- for those that strike at your cheek- do so because they have a problem- they lash out subconsciously for someone to help- will you be the one to help or ignore?
what goes around comes around- the great cosmic balance of man proclaimed since beginning of time-
I believe the time has come to extinguish this negative feature of mankind- the time to lay down the sword between one another in order to remove the defensive shield many human beings have upon their soul for protection from abuse by one another- for when one does so- the amount of energy and vitality akin to a child shows itself in man again as they began life this way- the true spirit of mankind to enlighten one another-
man is cruel to one another at times because man is lazy and selfish at times to one another-
do you need your neighbors house to be on fire before you help- or see the writings on the wall and act-
do you need your own child to become sick from cancer and or ailments to know man has many problems in life yet to be conquered and for you to help when you are healthy and stable-
half the worlds children die from simple drinking water- remember the Christ- agreed by mighty Rome and many others if god has loved one as a son- it would be one that seeks the sick and poor- to defend the weak-
or must you become weak-sick and poor to understand why man must be mans best friend-
whether by peaceful death or not- the outcome is the same- illumination of the afterlife and the spirit world- all is understood-all is known-
our duty continues-THY will be done on earth as it is in heaven
