A Dream Of Unity, A Dream For Change

A DREAM OF UNITY

(Written during a Mountain Top Removal coal mining conference May 2^nd &3^rd 2007)

Note: The impact of what I saw and heard was a deeply emotional experience. For more on this conference and Mountain Top Removal mining issues in Kentucky, visit http://speakingoutworld.com

Also note: References to God the “Father” and ‘Mother Earth” are merely used as allegory. (God, Earth and humanity are likened unto the closely knit ties of a family.) In no way does this imply gender to “God the Father” or “Mother Earth”.)

We all have a dream.
Deep within ourselves we share a dream.
Humanity longs for the time when an inner light shall be made manifest,

when the dawning of a new direction will be awakened; an era, a time when it is truly realized that we are members of one global family.

 

We are the children of Mother Earth. We came forth from the womb of the Earth, and will return to the Earth. We are a product of creation and therefore are a part and parcel of it.

Our Father, as Jesus says in the Lord’s Prayer, is“Our Father who art in heaven.”
Genesis 1:27 NIV teaches,” So God created “man” in His own image, in the image of God he created him.” Thus, we were created noble as spiritual beings in the image of the Spirit ofGod.

That being said; it is clear the workers of the fields, the farmers, miners, administrators, polititians, professionals, black, white, poor or wealthy are all our brothers and sisters.

The Bible says to “honor thy father and mother”. Jesus said,”My family are those that follow me.”

It is high time we stop being children and grow up.

Let us treat our Mother Earth with respects and follow the guidance of our Eternal All-Knowing God who sees all from Heaven.

Baha’i Scripture states (“The Hidden Words” of Baha’u’llah)
,” O SON OF SPIRIT!
Noble have I [God] created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.”

“O SON OF THE SUPREME!
To the eternal I call thee, yet thou dost seek that which perisheth. What hath made thee turn away from Our desire and seek thine own.?”

God created humanity in his own image yet we have abased ourselves. God is calling us to arise to serve the Eternal and not our short-term profit-driven ideals. By serving God we, in turn, are serving His creation.
