Let it be known of the mortal realm that it is neither the realm of the almighty nor the realm of sheoul, of lost souls; but the realm that rests between and in the middle of those two realms. As such, no mortal creature shall ever rise to the triumphant heights of angelic beings, nor will they be lowered unto the demons of the Hell, though they may come close in either direction they choose to pursue.

The land of the mortal creatures is a realm of balance and measure, where the end result is unimportant and the journey is all that matters. Until such a time comes to pass wherein all mortal creatures recognize the importance of each other and learn to work in harmony, such extremes will occur that give cause to fight and squander lives. Until each mortal that is tasked with responsibility reaches out to grasp and until each Mortal learns of the balance that must be found between good and evil within themselves, there will be much tragedy and bloodshed and suffering.

For truly, the pursuit of peace and happiness is divine and the pursuit against is divine in its own right as an opposing mirror image and truly no mortal being will ever truly come to differentiate between the two in every situation. Mortals will come that are seemingly evil, but are truly noble and surely some will come that seem noble that are truly evil and to any bystander caught in the middle of these struggles, neither side will be obvious for the perceptions of those viewing will be their own and the perceptions of those fighting will be their own.

Surely, also, true wrong and right can not be discerned by mortals governed by perspective; only those who return to true enlightenment shall see it in its entirety and recognize the futile strains of recursive thought and action that other mortals so keenly thrust themselves toward. To ascend past all perspective is the true divine nature of mankind, for it is their lot to do so and their responsibility to care for and tend to all other matters of their homes; orbs of dirt and sky that float serenely through the heavens; from the biggest animals to the smallest insects to the plants that cover all of their home.

And brother will fight brother and sister will fight sister and they will all fight each other, as is according to their nature, however they will see the true meaning of that fighting in time and will seek to remain true to each other regardless of their personal tribulations. And thus will true peace spread throughout their home; not by the eradication of all that is viewed to be evil, but through the acceptance and allowance of such; for balance is the way of their existence and balance between the heavenly and the lost most of all; so they may better traverse the all-encompassing tribulations of their mortal plane.

But such a balance will not be attained without its own tragedy and suffering through tribulation. For surely, to save the mortal plane and its inhabitants, it must surely come close to destruction, first; for that is the miracle of life and the cycle of death and rebirth. It is the lot of these mortal creatures to solve the problems that we can not for they are of flesh and blood and spirit and we are merely spirits without bodies, awaiting our chance to join our brethren and communicating feebly to them through subconscious avenues of thought our wisdom to combine with their experiences.

For no true miracle came by itself, but through tragedy and through perseverance and no creature, mortal or other, has ever learned true knowledge or wisdom without a small death and a rebirth of thought. So, too, no spirit grows without first being born and living and then dying and returning to their spiritual world; only to repeat the cycle.

Think not of Hell as you have been told to think of it, but instead view it as a healing place for the souls who were damaged by their journey to the middle realm. A place to recover and relearn who they are for having been made to forget through extreme force. That is another cycle of death and rebirth all its own and some are so broken as to be beyond repair and stew and stir in their dark thoughts throughout the long millenia.

Many times in the past has mankind been thrust through cycles of death and rebirth to reach the current age of the world. Each passing of the cycle brings us closer and closer to this 'balance' that we must find. For ages, now, many who have been lost have fought against the completion of this cycle and this pattern, pushing it to a head. So much so that ancient prophecy must be revisited; dusted and taken off the shelf; and scientists must come together to determine the extent of damages to come based on varying factors of natural disasters long overdue by their own reckoning.

So, too, will philosophers and others come together to theorize and discuss the changing nature of the world and many will rise to fight against it even more, for they know that with its coming, everything they have indulged in and loved will be at an end and instead of accepting the ending of such with dignity and good will, they feel empty and hollow, as that is the nature of sin and excess: to always enter, but never fill and when it is gone, to leave you feeling emptier than before.

IN their struggles, they shall bring about the end of their current age and the beginning of the next with increasing speed so that what has built up over long centuries and millenia will release and unfold and be done with in the passing of a few years. Forget what you have known and been taught, for you have been lied to and deceived by your fellow man in their pursuit and thirst for power over this middle world, where power was always intended to falter and fall short.

For no man shall have dominion over another and no man shall take advantage of another overly often without it ruining them and dragging them from enlightenment. Thus, power shall always corrupt the unworthy of power and shall always favor those who are worthy, and very few mortals will be found that are worthy of such power; for even the Great King Solomon the Wise was eventually dragged down and conquered by his own power.

Instead, each man shall be as equal to each man, and each woman, too; and each animal and plant. Respect will be given and received equally and thanks will be given when any life must be taken to provide sustenance for another. They will learn of war and peace in the same breath and stay ever optimistic while preparing for the worst; for as long this mortal realm exists in the middle of the other two, so too shall there always exist those who have no good thought in store for their neighbor.

And no man has right to judge another, for are not the mistakes of one man the mistakes of every man? For surely one mans mistake is the mistake of many others that turn up their noses; or many have made mistakes of similar magnitude and turn up their noses. Judge not lest ye be judged yourself and attack not lest ye be willing to face the heat and truth of the attack returned against yourself. For, if you can not abide the heat of the flames, it is not wise to stand inside the fire.

Every man has the right to defend himself, but to do so adequately and with no more force than is absolutely necessary. Wisdom and compassion; patience and understanding. All must be used in every aspect of life, even while under attack by another, for the attack itself may not be right or wrong, good or evil and each person involved may not be any of those things, but some confused mixture that strikes against each other without thought or reason.

So when you fall under attack, consider the person attacking and for what reason. Stick to truth, even if it does not favor you, for truth shall lead to the balance that is necessary for the middle realm to exist. Truth that all things are necessary in the correct time and place, even killing another being. So, too, must it be that these mortal creatures toil and tend to their home and waste not time overly much in luxury, though luxury should be allowed. Responsibility must come and then luxury, such should be the priority of all mortal creatures.

So, too, must time be made for thought and for meditation which will further thought and allow these mortal creatures to understand their place in the grand scheme of things. Systems have been designed to prevent people from thinking and meditating; forces people to act unnaturally and toward a cycle of abuse and slavery that is not beneficial to the rest. Such systems will in time destroy themselves or be destroyed by the people, so fear not and do not wonder overly often if it is your duty to participate in such fighting.

If it were your duty, you would be doing it; it would be as instinct for you and opportunity after opportunity would be there waiting. Concern yourself more with thought and meditation and honest work, for those are the virtues needed when the fighting is done and peace is called upon once more.

The meaning of life is simply to live and the ultimate goal is to find balance, both in yourself and with nature and with all other things; so, too, is the goal of every mortal creature, especially those with abilities beyond that of other mortal creatures and especially those mortal creatures who view themselves to be above and superior to all other mortal creatures; for their arrogance and vanity is nothing more than self-delusion and insecurity and if they truly wished to prove their superiority, they would push more toward finding that balance and equality for all things, including things that can not speak or communicate.

Intricately we are bound together through a series and system of events and circumstances that brings us together at the same time as dividing us and making us stumble through the darkness; the better with which to find the light and the better with which to see the way and the better with which to be awed by the majesty of light once we find our way back out and sit blinking in the changed environ.

On Peace

People are not at peace with themselves; how they can be at peace with the world around them? People run from the small things; how can they stop and fight against the big? People attack each other and destroy themselves; how can they recognize the true enemy or ever hope to defeat it?

There is balance to be found in every soul, between good and evil, right and wrong. It's making peace with your monster and making peace with the fact that you can't change the world on your own. You can be as ripples in the great ocean, but nothing more. There is peace to be fought for in our own minds before we ever begin to fight for it outside of our selves.

Until we find that inner peace; until the majority of us finds it; we will not find peace throughout our world. The confidence to make decisions without doubting them only to doubt them later when the heat is off; the knowledge of what you're capable of and the personal choice to rise above. The thirst for knowledge and learning as much as you can at the same time as knowing the impossibility of knowing everything.

Only when such balance can be found will true enlightenment begin and pain & suffering are merely tools toward this end, neither bad nor good, but remaining in a stage where your individual choice determines the result. There are no beginnings or endings, only middles and continuations, so do not wait for the ending of something or the beginning of something, but instead act as if it is already in progress; for it is already in progress.
