The things you say - I had revelations in my car, this evening, driving in the dark...listening to the lyrics in music now inevitably turns on at
least a 2000 watt thought these days.
And I realized a few things which I cannot even explain, now, to myself, even though I remember exactly what I realized.
I will try, though.
I listened to this song
(Johnny Cash and Bono):
The Wanderer
I went out walking through
the streets paved with gold
lifted some stones
saw the skin and bones
of a city without a soul
I went out walking
under an atomic sky
where the ground won't turn
and the rain it burns
like the tears when I said goodbye
Yeah I went with nothing...
nothing but the thought of you...
I went wandering
I went drifting through the capitals of tin
where men can't walk
or freely talk
and sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
where the citizens like to sit
they say they want the kingdom
but they don't want God in it
I went out riding, down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
looking for my own name
I went with nothing...
but the thought you'd be there, too...
Looking for you
spoken:
I went out there
in search of experience
to taste and to touch
and to feel as much
as a man can
before he repents
I went out searching,
looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking with a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yea I went out for the papers
told her I'd be back by noon
Yeah I left with nothing...
but the thought you'd be there too
looking for you...
Yeah I left with nothing...
nothing but the thought of you...
I went wandering
-------------------------
And then you start out with:
'The Lost Civilization...'
Exactly.
You also write:
'...people were immediately jealous/envious...'
Yes, they were. And don't forget the greed and lust for power and the oppression of weaker groups of people....
And today many people worry about WWIII - specifically a nuclear holocaust that would bring a total end to mankind on this planet.
Well, it already happened.
BUT, because of this, that you said:
'...they would live eternally back thru the catalogue of corpses if one by one people would be resurrected by
thought alone...' which is exactly the way it had to be and is and will be...
Because of that, what happened before will not happen because the future will not relive the past simply for the fact of the sacrifice made by a few
(a very few, less than a 'handful') that caused the past to erase the future.
This is the 'deLorean' principle...courtesy of 'love' and 'mercy' and 'truth'.
( not their 'real' names )
And on another thread, recently, you mentioned something about the splitting of the atom
(I can't remember the exact discussion or phrases - but
it is something I have thought about so many times, myself) and others have said this, before, as well.
YES. All of that.
We know it as
'Atlantis' and we have it in our collective minds that it was a single city or community that went under the waves of the
ocean....
But water cleanses and salt purifies and baptism is the path of repentance. To repent is to
'turn back.' It is metaphor and archetypes and
the hazy blackness that is the human being's inner vision that makes us see that world as
'Atlantis.'
But it wasn't like that and yet it was.
But it is no more - just like it had never been at all.
For it was those whom did NOT cause the calamity that gave of themselves; even beyond the point of death which was a certainty at the moment of their
mutual decision and subsequent pact and efforts that were bound for success since they were borne completely out of love that held no grudges nor
placed any blame or even said
'how could you?'
And so, even though obliteration seemed complete - the memories were the thoughts and thoughts are things and sometimes the past revives itself
instead of choosing to re-live and repeat mistakes.
The reward for love like that is life.
And the life extends to ALL; even those who took it all from the rest....they might not remember, but they are all here - not one child left behind!
