Grand Peace

We are deep and shallow. We are brilliant and ignorant. We are left-brain and right-brain, and so on. We're always tossing the hot potatoes back and forth in thought forms. We manifest some we can't really handle. We discover and learn.

I believe that the grand peace we'd like will come from learning to integrate and balance, mostly by letting go of judgement. We must accept that emotional perception is as valuable as logical analysis. We need free use of all our magnificent capability. There may always be some teetering. I think I'd be bored without it. But if we are aware and work to weave ourselves into a balanced whole, then perhaps we can enjoy the interesting challenges instead of recovering from the catapult launches of our own one-sidedness or the imbalance of others.

This is where the peace begins, in my opinion. Each of us must find their own balance. One by one is how the gestalt that is all of us shall become balanced, healed, whole, at peace. This is the leap of evolution we're engaged in. What wondrous creations shall we manifest? Could we possibly glimpse them before we get there with our eyes fully open?

In the current debate on clones and souls, I was just wondering what the comments originally were concerning artificial insemination and invitro fertilization. Seems that I recall the same cries of heresy and fears of creating humans without souls. I think the parents of these children and the children themselves may have something different to say.

But of course, there are some who still claim that these methods defy God and these babies are not made the way procreation was 'meant to be'. The products of these procedures might be shunned... if there was any way to tell them apart from 'natural people'.

I don't feel that cloning is inherently bad or evil. I do have concerns about the applications that may be developed by greedy self-serving humans or intellectual zealots. There will likely be benefits as well. All the while there will be great conflict from the ethical debates.

Mercy. I recall that at one time there was quite a stir even over the positions used during sexual intercourse and whether it should be performed at all if not with the intent of procreation. A few would still debate this today.

How much baggage are we intending to carry into perpetuity? We've used science to clarify, unload and lighten some. Isn't it about time to do the same in the realm of faith? Ah, but first we have to recognize that we packed the trunks to start with. There's the rub.
