LIFE!

LIFE! Pro-Life political advocates seem to insist that they revere life.  That is, ,the life of the unborn child, but not the life that otherwise exists, since so many of them are also pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro-racism, etc. This cavalier attitude about LIFE also tends to permeate into our life styles.

 

On the one hand many of us would never deliberately take away the life of another person.  But, we wouldn't think twice about killing, say, a FLY.  Does the fly's LIFE matter? Or is it just a pest that's buzzing your face, or your food? The religious person has likely never once thought about taking the life of a bug, rationalizing them away as just nuisances .  The person seeking a spiritual existence though (via an enlightened/elevated state of consciousness),  comes to understand that ALL life comes from a LIFE giver and that to respect the life in that ant crawling on your leg is to respect the LIFE giver as well.

 

The TWA people of southern Afrika, who are considered to be the world first-homo sapiens sapiens, developed an appreciation for LIFE that they  depicted in what we call the Ankh-their symbol for Divine Life. (This symbol-Ankh, much later migrated into KMT)  The TWA live in harmony with the natural world, thus being in balance with it, learning from its spirit teachers, they inaugurated a culture that replicated this harmonic balance that became known as the Just society of male-female equality, all without a book!

 

Taking a cue from them, we can similarly come into balance with the Creative Forces via developing a respect for LIFE that emanates from the Creator.  Learning to be in balance with the natural world, which ostensibly is in balance with the Creator, we similarly gain harmony with the Creator. (Please don't accuse me of saying that the taking of a life is never appropriate.)  A geometrical law states "things that are equal to the same thing, are equal to each other."  Conversely, things that are equal l to each other are equal to the same thing.  Thus, if we come into harmony with the natural world which is in harmony with the Creator, we similarly become in harmony with the Creator.  We can star by not killing that fly whose life-force came from the Creator just as ours does.

 

This is the essence of spirituality, to become in harmony with the ONE life force that all things are a small differentiation of. By respecting life in all of its dimensions, we can  access the eternal stream of the ONE life giver. And we don't need any one's religious book to do it!
