Men of war I call to you to put down your arms. Is this truly your calling to hate your brother so much that you would kill him? Would you kill him before you would even try to have them see the world as you see? You cry peace yet you wreck hate, fear, death upon the very men, women, and children you say you would save. Let this be a world of peace, let us find in men the soul we wish to see. Let us teach the men of malicious hate and torture that to truly find peace in Gods Eyes we must drop our hate drop our belief that to control something, someone, is to have power. For we never, as men have power, we are here a short time and then are gone, so if
our "power" is to be strong, it has to be in love, to be in acceptance of all of Gods creation.
For I do not remember a single warmonger in the history of the world save the atrocities of Hitler, and in him I learned more that Ghandi, Jesus, Mother Teresa had more power than he will ever have had. It is in love that we will truly find the answers to peace, to rule, to domination of this material, fleshly earth.
"What man is a man if he does not make the world Better?"
I watch "The Kingdom of Heaven" over and over again..wishing some wisdom to be imparted to me. I am not sure why. But, there is alot of wisdom that it teaches if only we wish to hear it...not with our ears...withour hearts with our minds. Love is to be unconditional...no matter the religion, the color, the mind of a man. If he is true and not a malicious man. I can not abide a malicious man. To hate your fellow human because his message is different than yours is not love, because his skin is not the same as yours...but his blood is the same. Though the dna, may be different, it isn't so different to cause us to be malicious(sp). What is in a malicious mind? Is it jealousy, envy, the lack of an emotion? Study of psychology is in order.
The human spirit believing so much in something will give it's life for it, even if the thing it believes in is in the shroud of something wholly different than what it truly was supposed to be. I say this for this the most heinous acts that I can think of. Murder, the snuffing out of a soul for a belief someone would have. And that is all it is...a belief. A thought in someones mind that defends something else, whether a law, or something someone says. But, really what is a law but what man has said. What man has written down and what their friends, closest allies would enforce. What lie has been laid upon the minds of men that would give way to such atrocity as to take a human life?
"I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomiation be called the will of God. Holyness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is in your mind and heart and what you decided to do every day you will be a good Man.....or not."
Not christ...nor this King. King Baldwin.
"You see none of us choose our end really, a king may move a man
a father may claim a son. But remember that even when those who
move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping
alone. When you stand before God, you cannot say "But, I was
told by other to do thus, or that virtue was not convient at
the time. This will not suffice. Remember that." King Bladwin, The Kingdom of Heaven
"It is my land...what would I be if I did not try to make it better?" Balian
Here a bit of wisdom...What would we be if we did not try to make this world better. To till the souls of this earth. To say to them...it is alright as to who you are...do not suffer people to be what you are...see the good in them and love them for who they are. For see in them what the world can truly be. What each light, each soul, can give up to the whole. For is it not better to be that flickering flame of individuality that to be the one lost in the blinding light of a lie?
"That I would rather live with men than kill them is certainly why you are still alive." Tiberius
God would no more will a war then....do you have an answer?
"It is fallen to us to defend Jerusalem and we have made our preparations as well as they can be made. None of us took this city from Muslims, no Muslim of the great army now coming against us was born when this city was lost. We fight over an offense we did not give, against those who were not alive to be offended. What is Jerusalem your holy places lie over the Jewish temple that the Romans pulled down, the muslim places of whorship lie over yours. Which is more Holy? The Wold? The Mosque? The Seplecha?
Who has claim? No one has claim. ALL have claim. We defend this city not to protect these stones. But the people living within these walls." Balian, Baron of Iboli, Kingdom of Heaven.
"Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth even if it leads to your death. Saftguard the helpless. That is your Oath!." Balian Knighting Jeruselm Men.
"they try to be one. One heart, one morality. Their prophet said submit, Jesus said, Decide." Isabella
