I still regard my reaction to 9/11 as pertinent to the existing problem of VARIOUS FAITH AGENDAS and after posting the previous two stories it's quite nice to know that I am not alone. My style might be singular but at least now I know my thoughts on this matter are shared by many others.
COUNCIL OF CONSCIENCE is close enough for me and it only took 8 years....thanks to Karen Armstrong
My reaction to 9/11 written on 9/15 2001
I SAW A MOVIE THIS WEEK.....
but the credits never appeared.....
the special effects were unbelievable....so extremely real that I couldn't believe
what I was seeing....
I waited to see who directed this blockbuster I waited to see who wrote the script I waited to see who produced this epic I waited to see who distributed thus huge production but the credits never appeared..... I waited to see who the sound editor was I waited to see who the film editor was I waited to see who the costume designer was I waited to see who wrote the music score but the credits never appeared.....
I ESPECIALLY WAITED TO SEE WHO THE STARS WERE BUT THE CREDITS NEVER APPEARED
AND THEN SLOWLY THE STARS STARTED TO APPEAR.... THE HERO'S NAMES STARTED TO ARISE FROM THE ASHES AND I REALIZED THE FILM WAS A DOCUMENTARY
I WAITED TO SEE WHO THE CAMERAMAN WAS....and discovered that there were hundreds of them....scattered all across the landscape....every angle was covered from every possible viewpoint and so I waited to see who the set designer was.... but the credits never appeared.....
I saw Apocalypse Now
I saw Independence Day
I saw Pearl Harbor
I saw War of the Worlds
I saw every John Wayne war movie
I saw Sergeant York
I saw Battle of the Bulge
I saw Guns of Navarone
I saw Tora Tora Tora
I saw Sound of Music
I saw Star Wars
I saw Star Trek
and I remember always seeing the credits
THE SCARIEST THOUGHT MIGHT BE.....
There are no credits because there was no ending and until THE END appears there will be no credits.....and then it might be a little too late to show the credits except in futuristic history books.....
THE TRUTH IS.....OUR SENSES HAVE BEEN MANIPULATED BY THE MEDIA.....I REALIZE THIS IS NOT A NEW THEORY, BUT WE'VE NEVER HAD A TEST SCREENING QUITE LIKE THE FILM I'VE WATCHED THIS WEEK......
We have seen every form of destruction known to mankind and add the outer space genre and we have seen amazing other forms of destruction beyond earthy boundaries....but there was always credits.
It turns out that the film didn't start on 9/11/01 like everybody thinks....it started much much earlier.
FINDING OUT WHEN IT ACTUALLY DID START MIGHT BE THE ONLY REAL WAY TO DISCOVER WHEN THE END MIGHT APPEAR, AND THE CREDITS MIGHT FINALLY ROLL ACROSS THE SCREEN.
LEARNING HOW THE ANGER AND THE HATE WAS CREATED WILL BE OUR ONLY WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE FILM MAKER'S MOTIVATION.
PUTTING ONESELF IN THE MIND OF THE FILM MAKER MIGHT BE THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW WHAT STIMULATED THIS HUGE PROJECT.
THE ONLY WAY TO DO THAT....IS TO
DISCUSS...
CONVERSE...
COMMUNICATE...
WITH THE CREATOR OF THIS INCREDIBLE MULTI-DIMENSIONAL MEDIA EVENT
UNDERSTANDING THE REASONS, EVEN IF ONE DOESN'T AGREE WITH THEM, ALLOWS ONE TO KNOW WHAT AVENUE MUST BE TRAVELED IN SEARCH OF RESOLVENT
IF THIS IS TRULY A HOLY WAR THEN THE ANSWERS ARE GOING TO BE EXTREMELY HARD TO UNDERSTAND...THE REASONS ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE ANY SENSE UNLESS YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF THAT CERTAIN BELIEF SYSTEM....
HOW IRONIC IS THE TERM HOLY WAR?????

THE IDEA THAT ANYONE ON THIS PLANET REALLY BELIEVES THAT GOD APPROVES OF ANY ACTION WHICH CAUSES THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SOUL TEMPLE...BETTER KNOWN AS THE HUMAN BODY... IS AN IDEA THAT REEKS OF
INSANITY.....
INSANITY REGARDING SPIRITUAL IDEAS IS NOT A NEW FORM OF INSANITY...AND PROBABLY DATES BACK FURTHER THAN ANY TYPE OF INSANITY KNOWN TO MANKIND
WE, AS A SPECIES, HAVE CHOSEN TO DEFINE OUR AGGRESSIVE ACTIONS BY USING GOD'S NAME MORE TIMES THAN CAN EVER BE DISCUSSED.
EVERY ORGANIZED RELIGION ON THIS PLANET HAS ILLUSTRATED EXTREMELY POOR JUDGMENT WHEN DEALING WITH OTHER ORGANIZED RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.
FOR US, AS CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES, TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK WE MUST BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH BELIEF SYSTEM
WE MUST STUDY AND WE MUST LEARN
WE MUST ACCEPT AND WE MUST TOLERATE DIFFERENCES
AND ABOVE ALL ELSE WE MUST STOP THINKING THAT
GOD
APPROVES OF ANY VIOLENT ACTION TO ACHIEVE AN END RESULT
THE SOUL MUST EMERGE FROM THIS TRAGEDY...FROM VICTIMS AND FROM PERPETRATORS...FROM OBSERVERS AND REPORTERS...FROM CHILDREN AND FROM NATIONS
DO WE HAVE THE POWER?
DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE OUR TRUE POWER TO OVERCOME THE HOSTILITY?
WILL WE ONLY USE THE TYPE OF POWER THAT CREATES MORE DESTRUCTION OR WILL WE TRULY BEGIN TO DEMONSTRATE A STRONGER POWER?
A POWER THAT IS BEING TESTED PERHAPS AS NEVER BEFORE...A POWER THAT EXISTS IN EACH AND EVERY SOUL ON THIS PLANET...A POWER THAT MUST SURFACE FOR GLOBAL
PEACE TO HAVE A CHANCE AT FINALLY ARRIVING ON OUR PLANET.
WE ARE AT A CROSSROADS OF UNBELIEVABLE PROPORTIONS AND IF WE ARE UNABLE TO USE THE POWER OF LOVE AT THIS CROSSROADS, THE PHYSICAL HAVOC WHICH WILL RESULT, BECAUSE OF THAT FAILURE, WILL SEND THIS PLANET INTO AN ARENA OF CHAOS...WELL BEYOND OUR WILDEST IMAGINATIONS.
WE NEED TO GET THE STARS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE SCRIPT WRITERS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE DIRECTORS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE PRODUCERS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE STUDIOS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE PUBLICISTS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE CRITICS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE DISTRIBUTORS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE FILM EDITORS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE SOUND EDITORS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE SET DESIGNERS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE MAKE-UP ARTISTS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE GRIPS TOGETHER
WE NEED TO GET THE CATERERS TOGETHER
AND
THEN
WE
NEED
TO DEMONSTRATE OUR ABILITY TO
LISTEN AND LEARN
AND THEN LOVE WHAT WE HEAR
AND LOVE WHO WE HEAR IT FROM
AND THEN LOVE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE DIFFERENT WAYS OF TRYING TO REACH THE SAME GOALS.
OUR DIFFERENT METHODS OF HOW WE LOVE GOD SEEMS TO BE
ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES.............SO LET'S HOLD A
COUNCIL OF FAITH
AND COVER IT LIKE NO EVENT HAS EVER BEEN COVERED
LET'S GIVE IT AS MUCH PRIME TIME COVERAGE AS WE GIVE TRAGIC EPISODES
LET THE WORLD WATCH AND PARTICIPATE
BRING EVERY RELIGION TO THE
COUNCIL OF FAITH
AND ONCE AND FOR ALL LET'S PUT THEM ALL ON TRIAL
LET'S BRING UP EVERY ATROCITY EVER COMMITTED IN GOD'S HOLY NAME
IF WE ARE GOING TO THE VICTIM OF A
HOLY WAR THEN WE NEED TO MAKE IT A
HOLY SOLUTION
AND IF THE COUNCIL OF FAITH LASTS A 100 YEARS....SO BE IT.
EVERY DAY IT COULD BE COVERED LIVE
EVERY NETWORK COULD TAKE A TURN
EVERY RADIO STATION COULD TAKE A TURN
EVERY NEWSPAPER COULD TAKE A TURN
THE MEDIA COULD BE USED IN A WAY THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DEMONSTRATED AND GOVERNMENTS CAN HELP PAY FOR THE BROADCAST BECAUSE GOVERNMENTS HAVE TO PAY FOR CLEANING UP THE VIOLENT ACTIONS... SO WHY SHOULDN'T THEY HELP PAY FOR PEACEFUL SOLUTIONS.
ADVERTISERS WOULD ONLY BE ALLOWED TO BUY HOUR BLOCKS AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO INTERRUPT THE PROCESS WITH SILLY JINGLES OR VISUALS.
IF THIS COUNCIL OF FAITH IS ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE THEN PERHAPS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR HISTORY, AS A SPECIES, WE CAN TRULY SEE THE CREDITS AND HAVE AN ENDING THAT SHOWS OUR APPRECIATION TO GOD FOR HAVING GIVEN US A SOUL...WHICH ALLOWS US TO LOVE
NOT
DESTROY
