Armaggedon

#1. Armaggedon is not a geographical location. The battle goes on within us between the will or ego and the spirit. Divinity lives within this battlefield in our heart and souls. #2. Armaggedon is not a remote event in history but an occasion for the Self to connect more fully to the nature of Divinity which resides both within and beyond the self in three different ways. #3. Armaggedon. The Self is the creation of God. The serial disasters that humanity accumulates in our lives are not from an All Powerful God handing out retribution or revenge or indifference. Divinity promotes that love is primary. #4. Armaggedon is an opportunity to realize the personality of God within our own lives. Justice, wisdom, love, knowledge, thoughts, feelings and behavior, except for evil, are aspects of the personality of God. It is our responsibility to merge with Divinity more fully to strengthen those aspects of divinity within ourselves. #5. Armaggedon is not a place outside of us, it is a symbol of our faith. Being a child of God means you already have the inherent qualities of God within you, we all do, no matter what religion. Like a mother who gives birth to a child, the child has aspects of the mother’s personality within her. Thus, as God has given birth to us all, we have attributes of Divinity within that we need to grow and strengthen. #6. Armaggedon. The fever is already raging. in a war that surpasses all wars and that is alive within us on a daily basis. This war holds the souls weight of my loyalty toward or away from love, the primary aspect of God.

I like very much this connotation of the word. It makes much more sense than some imagined future battle ending the world.

The war is inside each of us, and that commonality should bind us more than religion divide us. Good poem.
