Think for a moment of the elites who rule but never dirty their hands; that set whole populations against each other – those self-styled arbiters of division who profit on the misery of others? Give some thought to the huge profits made from conflict of all types, from the small social conflict of someone's dog soiling a neighbour's lawn, to all-out war of nations. Then ask yourself who profits?

It is no secret that all people desire peace – why then so much conflict? Peace and goodwill must be earned; if we divest ourselves of this responsibility we surrender our fate to the few, who would then take good advantage. We pay a high price for Fear and complacency.

What worth are our ‘advances’ in technology when the workload for the average person has increased to a level not seen since the time of our great grandfathers? In the recent past, a man's single income could support his entire family. Technological advances are being utilised to enslave us rather than liberate us. The manipulators we place in power are adept at not producing; who then absorbs the extra workload?

Cowardice and fear are the only enemy. What factors curtailed the democracy movement in China? One fifth of the world’s population are Chinese; who or what could resist that number if they were united in their effort to achieve democracy? They remain slaves however, lack of courage, fortitude and solidarity defeated them, nothing else. Divided and conquered, the Chinese remain slaves to a corrupt emperor class. The Chinese would rather suffer the largest social disparity since their recent social revolution than work together and consolidate for the common good. With the social system divided into competing self-seeking individuals, the size of the population is irrelevant, it is easily managed; in strategic terms the population is only the size of the average (alienated) social unit. Rulers fear united communities not fragmented groups or individuals. The "Solidarity" movement in Poland defeated a repressive ruling regime; demonstrating that a unified population is irresistible. Mahatma Gandhi's India and Poland both succeeded in eliminating an unwanted ruling regime without the use of violence.

The most powerful force on the planet is the power of the people undivided. So why the present chaos? (Division – pure and simple.) Is it preferable to work together for the common good or be divided and led to destruction?

The manipulating and corrupt rulers can do nothing if we withdraw our support and expose their corruption. We are born as One human family; deceivers would divide us if we allow it.

Have we learnt from the tragedy of the Balkan conflict? It seems not. Religion, then arbitrary notions of tribal nationalism divided people of one common heritage. Once divided, horrendous atrocities were committed by all involved. Religious and political institutions are forces of division and intolerance not unification and love.

The Creator of this universe has never written a word in any book or ‘holy’ text. If you wish to read the Creator's ‘text’ then view the night sky and observe all forms of life on this planet; read the scent of a rose and the cool winds. If you wish to know that Creator then read your heart! Peace, Love and Harmony are what you will find. Test everything against those standards and you will never be deceived or enslaved again.

We are ONE
