Beauty and Ecumenicism

There are many an vantage points from which to find beauty. The side of the mountains high Lake Louise on the grass of the building sipping champagne with your most cherished friend is a memory of beauty that will always overcome my consciousness. The purr of my friend and companion as he welcome me house from a hard days activity or the smile on the face of most any person who 'sees' what little part of life we can partake in to help each other. There are many an beauties and no real evil. This will be dealt with in greater detail under Abraxas in the idea segment. In the whole of the 'brotherhood' there are many an religions and in each one; I have found the essence of beauty expressed by wise and metaphysical or emotional people. In Islam my favorite is Sufism. They do a nice point just about the poison of negativity and any form of thought that makes personal energized harm to else life in this quote:

“The soul who had to sympathize with the whole earth was thus prepared that the drop of that poison which always produces contempt, gall and ill feeling against another was destroyed first. So many an talk just about purification of the heart, and so few actually cognize what it is. Several say to be pure means to be free from all evil thought, but there is no evil thought. Call it evil or call it devil, if there is any such thought it is the thought of bitterness against another. No one with sense and understanding would-be like to retain a single drop of poison in his body. And how ignorant it is on the part of man once he keeps and cherishes a bitter thought against another in his heart. If a drop of poison can cause death of the body, it is equal to a thousand deaths once the heart retains the smallest thought of bitterness." (56)

The fear of nature or one's inner uncertainties has caused many an to find evil in places wherever beauty exists. Once one no longer has to control nature, there is no place wherever beauty will not be found. It may be a bittersweet beauty such as seeing your lover find a person she wants to marry; once you are an older man with all the love in the earth for a person you love in every way. It may be the joy you feel once you cognize you aren't going to have to pull along or drudge for money in the socially structured gambit to gain material things. The fears that create the opposite of harmony and brotherhood are the 'poisons' which no true Kelt would-be cognize as he/she spoke to Alexander just about their creed and their honest appreciation for the soul in everything. Nature has no evil and the crooked bristlecone pine that dormantly awaits the desert rain has lived longer than the rash fast-growing ash that sprouts quickly skyward. In the soul that knows it is immortal the idea of change is welcome and thus the warrior’s death is too.

Thus one who truly loves will let all things and thoughts go free and hope to share the beauty of 'what is'. The Cathars had great 'brothers' in the Sufis who few folk in the earth are available to accept the wisdom of in that war-torn realm of hatred we call the Middle East. In my limited appreciation for the beauty of Good shepherd I see him being the kind of person who knowing and changed throughout each day and therefore all the time he spent on earth. Each moment is a 'Zen' possibleness for the 'greater good'. But how many an of our route of organizing societal behavior actually will nice for each individual? There is no beauty in much of any THING; rather beauty exists in the fullness of each and EVERY thing. Oh yes, the turn of phrases and style that waxes and wanes poetic can be a joy which in the crevices of thought are beauty-full but are they actually beauty once they seek to arrange Much for the politician and his cronies or platform? Alexander is same the 1st to have declared himself Divine spell alive. We are in truth, all Divine. It is a divine comedy to be sure, this thing we call life.
