Yep, WELL said too T! I'm in TOTAL agreement with EVERYTHING you said! :-)
I look at it like a check list that we fill out before coming back to Earth again. And this is kind of a playground or ride, where we come to love, learn and grow.
And you're totally right about there being no right or wrong on the playground/ride. Probably the greatest saints are the people like Hitler or someone who is spending life in jail or being held indefinitely. Or the "bum" we see passed out in a doorway every day. Or the guy we see holding a sign saying "Broke need money". They are there to remind us, it's just a ride. And we have the choice to live in or reach out in fear or love. And like you said, once we learn the lesson, the illusion evaporates in a puff of smoke and it's time to move on to the next level which I think will not include the ride. We will not need the lessons we learned from the ride.
Thanks for the reminder T!
By the way, that wasn't my writing. I tweaked it a little bit, but here is where I got it from.
Bill Hicks (1961 - 1994 R.I.P.)
And I love the line where Adam said: "When we say Revolution, we say it with love". It doesn't have to be a big battle where millions or billions die. Not if it's done truly out of love. Some may "die", but it's only a ride. And the one's who are willing to innocently "die", will be the reminder to ALL that it's only a ride. And the ride will end. And I have to admit I still get caught up I the ride. But I still do it out of love for others.
I don't ever want to have to say: (My version again)
Children of tomorrow
I apologize to you
On behalf of those in my time
For the things we didn't do
We didn't end the tyrants
So your fate could be prevented
We watched them steal our freedom
By our silence we consented
We didn't choose to circumvent
The doom you've not escaped
While the Bill of Rights was murdered
And the Constitution raped
Some of us were lazy
Others too afraid
To think about our children
The ones we have betrayed
I guess we were too busy
To be concerned or care
To try to ease the burden
Of the chains we made you wear
We could have been good shepherds
When the wolf got in the fold
But we watched the flame of freedom die instead
And left you in the cold
I'm sorry we were timid
My selfish generation
We left you but a remnant
Of a free and prosperous nation
I'm sorry for our actions
Like cowards we behaved
We could have left you freedom
Instead you are enslaved
Children of tomorrow
Descendants of our land
I'm sorry we allowed it
The fate you now with stand
