And I am seeing a Civil War scene
The American Civil War
A battle of the American Civil War is playing out before me
And neighbor is killing neighbor
And countryman is killing fellow countrymen
And there is much slaughter
The wounded and the dying litter the field
And their pain and their screams reach up to the Heavens
And the angels descend to minister onto them
And of course the angels minister unto all the men
It matters not the color of the uniform they wear
Be it blue or be it grey
The angels minister onto all
The angels minister onto each and every one of them
And now my Mother looks at me
|
Queen of Heaven
|
And my darling child
What does this tell you about The Coming Times
|
Scribe

Mother it tells me
That regardless of how we divide ourselves
Regardless of how we align and how we divide
Regardless of who we consider our allies
And regardless of who we consider our enemies
The Heavens, the angels minister unto all of us
We are all of us Mother
Children of the one God
And we will all of us Mother
Be treated by Heaven
As children of the one God
|
Queen of Heaven

Yes my dear child
For those who today are your enemies
Tomorrow are your allies
And this has happened throughout your history
And yet in each moment
You are consumed by your hatred of your ‘enemy’
And you wish him to his death
And how quickly you forget
How quick you are
When you perceive it in your best interest to do so
Change your viewpoint and view your former enemy
Whom you had consigned to the inferno itself
You now view as an ally
A business partner
An economic partner
Yea, even a neighbor
Shall I list out for you child
The wars your country has fought
The enemies your country has hated
Hated, hated with a vengeance
Hated to the point of near annihilation of them
Allow me my dear one
Bear with me my dear one
And allow me to list them for you
The list is long and tedious and perhaps self-evident
Are you willing my child to bear through it
|
Scribe
|
Yes Mother I am willing to be so reminded

Queen of Heaven

My darling your country men have fought and have hated
And yea have killed
1. The Original Americans
2. The British
3. Their fellow countrymen who were loyal to the British
4. The French
5. The Mexicans
6. Their fellow Americans
7. The Germans
8. The Japanese
9. The Russians
10. The Koreans
11. The Vietnamese
All these come to mind
And now my dear one, of these, whom your country
Has tried to kill
Whom your countrymen at one point
Hated, hated, hated
To the point of death, they hated
Willing to kill the other
Willing to die to kill the other
Of all the people I have mentioned above
Name me one; name me one
That your country would still like to kill
That your country would still like to obliterate
That your country still hates, hates, hates

Mother all of these people
Are now either our own citizens
Or else they are our allies
Our economic partners
Our business partners
Our fellow world citizens
There is not one among them Mother, whom we hate
There is not one among them Mother, whom we would
obliterate
We would engage in commerce with them all
We would engage each and every one of them
In the worldwide community Mother
There is not a single one of them Mother
That we would now die to kill

That it is an illusion, Mother
That the concept of an enemy is an illusion
That we can get through our difficulties
Our conflicting points of interest
Without killing each other
Why if we wait long enough
We may find that the problems naturally resolve themselves
And our own self interests and the self interest of the other
Result in our mutual cooperation
Yea we would trade with each other
Yea we would communicate with each other
Yea we would engage in sports competition with each other
We would even play with each other, Mother
How we do enjoy our international sports events
How we do enjoy our Olympic competition
How we do enjoy touring and vacationing
At the very sites we had earlier tried to destroy
It is all an illusion, Mother
The concept of an enemy is a lie
The idea that we have to, that we must
For our very survival’s sake
Kill the other is a lie
For we have not killed any of the above
They are all alive and kicking
And yes they are all, each and every one
Our partners, our business partners, our comrades
|
Queen of Heaven
|
And my darling
Do you think that your present enemy of the day
The enemy du jour if you will
Is any exception
|
Scribe
|
No Mother I do not see any reason why he would be
I can easily see that in a decade or two or three
He too would be our business partner
He too would be a person we would engage in trade and
commerce
He too would be welcome to play with us
How we will enjoy playing in sports competition with him
Yea invite him as well to participate in the World Olympics
Yea invite him as well to be a full member of the world
community

And darling, do you think that intense hatred
That contempt
That desire to kill and destroy
Is the best way to get from here, your current point
To the point that you eventually
As your history so clearly points out
You eventually, eventually, eventually
Get to anyway
From misunderstanding, confusion, and conflict
To being neighbors, partners, yea friends
Is war, is hatred and murder
The way to get from confusion and fear
To clarity and trust
Is that the best line from point A to point B
|
Scribe

No Mother, that does not make sense
It does not
It would seem rather to be a detour
It would seem Mother to be a very destructive detour
Involving the great loss of life
And untold amount of human suffering
Only for the two nations to end up becoming partners
Yea even friends
|
Queen of Heaven
|
Yes darling
Your country did everything it could
To obliterate North Vietnam
And now darling now
What is the current state of affairs
Between the USA and North Vietnam
|
Scribe
|
Mother, the USA and Vietnam are peaceful with each other
We trade
We engage in commerce and cordial discussions with each
other
We even tour there; take our vacations there
Enjoy their countryside and their seashore
|
Queen of Heaven
|
And yet, these were a people
That just a few decades ago
Were the hated ones, the enemy
The very threat to your survival
To your way of life
And honey did your country win this war
Did your country force its way upon Vietnam
Is this the reason why the two countries are now cordial
Because the USA forced Vietnam to submit to its wil
|
Scribe

No Mother not at all
Mother we gave up on trying to conquer Vietnam
We gave up
We left
We called it Peace with Honor
And we left the Vietnamese to work out their own destiny
|
Queen of Heaven
|
And Peace with Honor it was child
Peace my dear child
No matter what the snake tells you
Is always honorable
Peace with Honor it was
Peace with Honor it absolutely was
And now that the Vietnamese have worked out their destiny
Have they destroyed the American way of life
|
Scribe

|
Queen of Heaven

Are the Vietnamese a threat to your country’s survival
To its very existence
To its prosperity and well-being

What am I telling you child

Scribe

Mother you are telling me that the ‘enemy’ of today
Is and will be the partner, the colleague, the neighbor of
tomorrow
This will happen
This does happen
It has happened before
And will happen again
And yes we can get from being enemies to being friends
Via war and murder and destruction and pain
Or we can get from conflict and misunderstanding
Via honest attempt at communication
Via mediation
Via mutual problem-solving
Via, as you have said Mother, implementing the concept of
win-win
We can Mother, go from our current view point
And imagine, visualize our current ‘enemy’
As he will be
Our future partner, our future neighbor, yea our future ally
And with this vision in mind
Work out how we get there from here
And no, we do not need to do it by killing him
By killing his women and children
By poisoning his land and his water
By destroying his buildings, buildings that have stood for
centuries
No, none of this is necessary
No, not even a little bit
For we do not destroy the enemy
We simply prolong the time it takes
For him to transform
Into our neighbor, our trading partner, our ally
And yes, even our friend
A friend we play with
A friend we play football and soccer with
A friend we enjoy inviting to our Olympic games
A friend we enjoy visiting when the Olympics are held in his
home
A friend we enjoy visiting to view different sights
And to taste exotic food
And to enjoy a different locale
A friend we visit to enjoy our vacations

Yes your countrymen are now finding great pleasure
In touring the former dreaded and feared China
Are you not

Mother you are telling me
That war is completely and totally unnecessary
That its uselessness is so obvious
One need only look at history
And see how the players have transformed
From bitter enemies to genuine friends
To show how absurd war is
For certainly it is not war that brings about this transformation
For certainly man has evolved enough by now
We have gained enough verbal skills by now
Enough communication skills by now
Enough consensus building skills by now
Yea even mediation skills by now
That by now, by now, by now
When we perceive ourselves to be having real difficulties
With our neighbor
That we turn to these
That we engage in these
That we develop and refine these skills even further
And use them to resolve our difficulties with our neighbor
No, we do not need to hate and kill and destroy our neighbor
Just as we did not need to do to all of the previous neighbors
That we had so ardently, so urgently, yes, in such a state of
panic
Yes in a state of fear
In fear
In fear
In fear
In fear we killed
In fear we murdered
In fear we destroyed
And none of it was necessary
The present day situation with all of our former ‘fearful
enemies’
Speaks for itself
It says it all, doesn’t it Mother
It says it all
