I just noticed something kind of freaky here.
Leo, the Catholic (of the old order), The Rev, the Superverse neochrisitan, Nirvana of the Dewians, and Sokar the occult renegade, all agree. Four men from exceedingly different methods of worship are all converging on a single idea, God, and finding a nexus point of Unity.
Facing outward the four cardnal points, they stand around that which is sacred to them all, their God (or rather the conception of Him/Her), and defend in Unity. But Unity is not homogenaity, but each represents the true followers of God by following the highest they know.
That each will arrive at the same destination, if they are firm in their conviction to Truth, it is sure. But even taking seperate paths alone, they travel towards the kingdom of God.
Leo with the slow determined step of the faithful Monk singing along the way. Thoughtful in contemplation more common in the Orient than the West. Chatting calmly with Angels along the way.
Nirvana jogging, hopping over rocks and streams with youthful vigor with the message of his Teacher, JJ Dewey in his light pack. Drawing strength from the devotion to his Mentor, JJ, he runs off into the World as no Keyster has done before, not in strength, but in faith.
The Rev, the personification of the intelligent Christian, the Paul of this age with his nimble and diplomatic tongue, attempting to reconcile science and the faith that he cherishes. Bombing down the freeway in his SUV yapping on his cell phone.
And Ptah-Sokar the practicer of Magick. The large lizard marching across the dark desert of the Kurrekshetra, walking the planes, with bitter winds of Satanic fury at his back doing always his conception of the Will-of-God.
If God wanted the Earth to be One in the way that many think, he would have made us all with blue-eyes, blond hair, thinking the same thoughts, one religion, all of idential personality and viewpoint. But God is not Hitler, and He seeks to accomplish his purpose with dynanicism and heterogenaity.
Where is the One in this? Look to the four pressing forward; they are One. Drawing purpose and energies from a single source, the four of them have somehow done it. Perhaps this is the Unity that Jesus Christ, that mightiest of Avatars, had in mind when he said "If ye are not One, ye are not Mine."
Even the Athiest may be One in us four.
If his spirituality is Secular Humanism, who's prime dictum is "Do until others as they would do unto you." and his Cosmo-conception that of Darwins that all life seeks to evolve and progress eternally, then he is with us, for he DOES the highest he knows, and nothing more does God expect than a man do well with what he has whether it is greater or lesser.
