I am placing this piece by James in this section, because as we change the face of religion, perhaps the folks that practice religion will give it up and come into the concept of personal responsibility. James has expressed my own ideas in this piece. When will we ever learn, that war and conquest are NOT of God.

God Salesmen and Impeccable Integrity

by James Gilliland

Well here we go again with one of my rants. It concerns God
salesmen. It is bad enough the fundamentalists are jamming down
every ones throats that they are sinners, going to hell and they owe
Jesus the big bucks for showing them the way. The image of a
wrathful God that needs appeasing, fear guilt and unworthiness have
been used to control and enslave the masses for quite some time.
They have nothing to do with the higher levels of awareness where
love, compassion and forgiveness abound. We would think we would
have evolved beyond such primitive understandings by now. I have
spoken about the holy wars and how there never has been anything
holy about them. In truth they are fought because one king or leader
wanted what another king of leader has. The present war it is for
oil and who controls it. America does not care about how we go about
getting it as long as they can drive up to the pump and fuel their
vehicles on a regular basis. We have leveled whole cities filled
with innocent men women and children not to mention torturing them
later being the instrument of pain, suffering and death on an
immense scale yet we call our leadership Christians? How can anyone
who supports this be a Christian?

The masses are duped into believing the invented enemies most of
which were trained in the USA in covert operations represent the
people of their country. These people labeled heathens and infidels
rather than the other diverse men women and children of God are then
slaughtered and destroyed by our corporate sponsored war machine. It
makes it alright to break the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill."
The warmongers lawyers add a few addendums such as unless they are
of a different color and faith and are sitting on something we want.
Our corporate sponsored department of offence not defense is the
reason we have terrorist. We would be the terrorist if another
country came to the US and behaved the way we have in the past. Our
foreign policy is determined by corporate greed. Pure and simple.
The innocent men women and children are merely collateral damage,
faceless numbers in a quest and lust for power, control and material
acquisition. Profit and greed with a total disrespect for life is
the foundation of the majority of our corporate sponsored
leadership. They are not Christians, do not act like Christians, in
fact they are anti all Christ stood for which is love, compassion
and forgiveness as well as service to others. There is an old
Chinese saying, "A mans actions establishes his character." We are
either willing participants in this madness or true Christians which
will make a stand for the real teachings of Jesus which are not
reflected one iota in the present leadership despite all its holy
rhetoric and façade.

There is another God salesman I want to address. This one is very
slick. They will come in every color and belief with deadly
charisma. They will use all the right catch or buzz words yet the
underlying motive again is self aggrandizement, power and financial
gain. They will put on a facade to deceive you into believing they
are serving the people yet if you follow the money you will see it
goes to perpetuating a lavish lifestyle. Look at the salaries, the
financial books, and the percentage of funds or goods that truly end
up in the hands of those they profess to be helping. The bottom line
is each individual needs to make their own personal God connection.
There are no go betweens. Marketing goods by attaching them to God
with holy powers is another slick trick. There are healing formulas,
there are spiritual healing powers and new technologies that unlock
ones own healing potential yet there is as many false claims and
nonsense.

If one is truly serving in the awakening and healing of Humanity
and the Earth they will operate with impeccable integrity. Most live
a simple life; they are not into pompous and arrogant titles that
separate them from the masses. They pick up hammers, shovels and
rakes, cook, clean and assist in the healing process mentally,
emotionally and physically. They live in harmony with others and
nature. They are the visionaries building a better tomorrow. They
would not dream of investing in or supporting anything that is not
in alignment with the greater good of Humanity and the Earth. It is
really that simple but getting to simplicity in a world motivated by
competition, profit and greed is not so easy. It is time to
cooperate, work in harmony with each other and the environment. Be
the solution rather than perpetuating the problem. There are no
divisions in God, there is no separation in Omnipresence, and
nothing evades karma or the action/reaction principle. How much more
simple can it be? In the days to come the facades are all coming
down. The true motives and intentions are going to be revealed.
Those who have gained at the expense of humanity and nature will
come to realize just how humanity and nature feel about them as both
awaken. The process has already begun and you will see it unfold
rapidly in the days to come. As I said earlier, make your own
personal God connection, go within and develop your own inner
sensitivity, your own inner guidance and act upon it. Only that will
insure your tomorrow. You have immense support now in this endeavor
seen and unseen. Be well James Gilliland
