The Schiavo case got me thinking, I know a dangerous past time, especially for one of the four legged lot.

Without a doubt the family is hurting. However, I believe it is wrong and obscene that the Federal government in the name of the extreme right would intercede in what is first a family then at most a state affair.

I think our ultra conservative U.S. Congress should sit as a body and read the U.S. Constitution that they are so ready to ignore. All rights and powers are not the U.S. Federal Government’s, nor is it the U.S. Federal Government’s right to take away the rights of the Individual or State’s rights or jurisdictions.

Like most I do not know the facts of the case and must rely on popular communications to glean the story. I do question the motives of some of the religious right. We have now progressed to the point that we can sustain life artificially under dire circumstances, this ability will only increase, I have no doubt that within less than 20 years we will be able to sustain the brain in some artificial environment almost indefinitely.

Now, to my soapbox:
If it is true that the human spirit or soul is mated to the body at conception as most of our right leaning people believe, then when does the spirit leave the body? If it is at the moment of near death then what is being preserved, a husk, a shell, a windup toy with just sufficient tension remaining in the spring to maintain autonomic functions.

If we say the spirit does not leave until the final moment of actual physical death then by this act of “kindness” the spirit is condemned to remain in the body of this innocent woman to continue dwelling in the flesh when by all natural means her spirit would have left the body. To be sure her body would have perished if it were not for this act of “kindness”. Isn’t she by the very act of “kindness” condemned to a sort of manmade purgatory? A half-life neither here nor on the path to her spirit’s next natural destination. Does the spirit suffer in this half-life it would seem those that would prolong this half-life do not care?

There are Terrors in sheep’s clothing among us. I shall not besmirch the good name of the wolf by calling them a wolf. Wolves are social, tend to their young collectively, have never in recorded history had a confirmed case of wolf attack on a human, contary to popular stories. These Terrors do not have any of the noble qualities of the wolf. The Terrors don’t care that this woman’s soul or anyones soul is in torment or suffers, indeed these Terrors would condemn us all to a like fate and be secretly gleeful.

One of the hardest things to grasp is, that which is good can be perverted to evil. Good is self-instantiating, Evil is not, it needs good to pervert. The desire to save life is not evil but the desire to control the moment of death is. Love is not evil until it turns to the green-eyed monster and lust. The desire to eat a sweet is not evil until you must have the sweet at all cost. Hunger is good it tells us when we need to take sustenance but it is evil when it turns to gluttony. Many people of many religions are never taught these simple facts and are easily lead astray by the Terrors that appear as Godly people and speak in silken whispers. Terrors tell Many that for their own “good” the Others should be allowed to do “so and so” and the Many listen. The Terrors tell Many that if They are not of this religion or that religion They are less in the eyes of the creator than the Many are, even if all diligently observe the first rule- “Love God with all your heart and soul”, and the Many listen.

A Terror can not condemn a soul it takes the willing participation of the person to condemn their own! You loose your soul through your own acts, you can not be condemned by proxy or acts of another. A Terror must beguile and misdirect YOU into believing and acting in an evil manner but make no mistake YOU are the one that must BELIEVE and ACT in a manner that makes a perversity of the good. YOU individually are accountable for YOUR actions. YOU individually are responsible to be "as wise as a serpent", the ancient symbol of knowledge and wisdom, to see through the lies, half-truths, and misapproprated whole truths to protect yourself from being beguiled by the Terrors. The entire body of all religions are set up to give humans a tool of mutual support beginning with the member individuals to the religions themselves, to instruct us an allow us to see the Terrors but the Terrors are ever suble in thier work, driving wedges between religions, groups and individuals; entire churchs, temples, and mosques have allowed the Terrors to gain the upper hand within thier own mist. Some would say that God would not allow this to happen but they at a discrete level are I believe wrong. God has given us the tools, the collective intellegence, the prophets, the free will and the responsibility to choose our own paths as humankind, as groups and more importantly as individuals.

Religion is for man, not God. God is the first necessary and needs no other cause to exist! For any believer, if you believe this then you must also believe and understand that there are Terrors both of spirit and incarnate that seek to dull our minds, blend the concepts of good and evil so that we have difficulty seeing, hearing or feeling the truth, pervert and control us.

What the many fail to see is that it is about control, the ultimate control of our souls. The Terrors controlling what is thought, what is done, what is said, how we live, how we die, when we die. We are now close to having the technology to give the Terrors the ultimate control; we are close to being able to keep our dying ones in a man-made, Terror orchestrated hell indefinitely, while the rest of humanity unaware and blinded by the lies of the Terrors do not see or hear or feel how they have condemned themselves.
