The book of Adam Chapter 1: There is a way
There is a way to end the hate -
for us to actually eradicate the need for hate;
to plant the seed within this species brain
and to cultivate that seed of change.
We are not inept,
humans are remakable,
we are intelligent and we are resourcefull:
we are capable, we can change.
No tricks, no gimmicks and no more psychological games,
just a simple choice we can choose to make -
it will not require money and it will not require pain,
although, in the beginning effort will be necessary,
make no mistake,
and of this effort mankind need not be afraid.
The journey is never too difficult,
the traveller can never be too late,
salvation will patiently wait -
a millon miles to travel
but only one step away.
A way to ensure that our species is saved,
all welcomed back home into Eden,
no judgement made,
all accepted and all debts repaid -
impossible you might think
but 'nothing ventured gained'.
There is a way to end the hate.
There is a way to free the slaves,
to open the gates and eradicate the need for chains -
for both the slaves of old,
with iron cast around their bones
and for the slaves of the modern era,
with chains of mortgage and career.
We can heal that which has been broken
and end this system of human control;
we can stop the wars, put down the weapons,
end all forms of oppression
and finally close the jails.
Once we understand the power of acceptance
we can allow uncondtional love to flourish,
where once only hatred prevailed.
To truly forgive we must understand
that those who hold the whip are just as enslaved,
all be it in a slightly different way -
but they too are made dependant upon a system
which surrounds and suffocates them while they sleep,
ignorant of wisdom.
They are not free,
as all of mankind can and would naturally be -
contentment eludes their understanding all the same
and so we act to free the master along with the slave.
There is a way to free the slaves.
There is a way to unite the faiths
and to eradicate the need for crimes committed in that name.
We can unify the peoples of every race,
creed, colour, belief, variety and strain,
and we can take down these walls that seperate us.
In our ignorance we have built prisons around us -
they are the physical manifestation
of the psychological disease that has infected us
and that dis-ease has corrupted us,
therefore it cripples us.
When we decide that we have been lost for long enough,
when we have gathered all that we need in experience
and when we have finally learned the lesson
that only we can teach to ourselves,
then we can choose to address the cause of our dis-ease
and we will find the answer to the original question.
The symptoms of our dis-ease are almost irrelevant,
as they will naturally recede
when the dis-ease itself is no longer prevalent;
we will simply no longer produce them
and so they will no longer exist to stand in our way.
The answer to this issue lies at the core of our psychology,
both as an individual and as a society -
to understand that it is we
who have created the need for this dis-ease.
The dis-ease itself is simpy an ingenious method for our body
to communicate to us the presence of this mistake
and so offers us the oppertunity to correct the error made.
To triumph over the temptaion of want
and the corruption of fear
and to choose to live in a different way,
to transform this age-old obsession with manipulation
into the lesson it has the potential to be.
There is a way to unite the faiths.
Once we are ready to acknowledge
this dis-ease that has infected us,
then we can begin to diagnose its cause
and discover the cure to this illness
and we will realise
that we already have the necessary knowledge
and the power required to free us.
Not the ninety-nine against the one,
but the one hundred against the none -
humanity unified as one:
all children of the same sun,
all dancing to the same rhythm
of the same beats
of the same freedom songs.
Seek this answer and we shall find,
begin this journey and we will arrive;
the key to this understanding lies protected
within our own minds.
If the timing is to be now then the timing is perfect
and if the true goal is contentment
then the effort is worth it -
the lesson was undoubetedly worth it.
The one truth is universal,
together we can acheve global, unconitional happiness
and once-and-for-all defeat
this fear based system of control and division.
Without trying to manipulate you,
without investment in your actions,
I am free to simply explain what I mean
and allow you to reach your own conclusions
and make your own decisions.
When mankind has quenched its thirst for blood,
when the suffering of this dis-ease
has been endured for long enough -
when we have played this game for long enough -
then the alternative choice patiently awaits.
For now I only remind you of a truth we once knew
and we will inevitably redisover one day,
so when we are ready let us begin this debate.
The elegance of human perfecion lies withn its simplicity:
M + A = C.
Be the change you seek in the world.
There is a way to end the hate.
