once upon a time there was just one man
man was lonely, so God gave man a wife
then there were four
now one became jealous, and then there were three
as people populated, there became chaos murder rape theft
so the good lord filled with compassion began again
from Noah his three son and their wives a new culture emerged
one in which the necessity to get along arose
however as people formed into groups they formed into clans
true, interpersonal skills within hierarchies existed, but two faults remained
the first was the hierarchy, the second was that another tribe was fair game
along came Abraham – the first to speak of a universal God, and a universal code, a universal mankind
along came the Egyptians and the first of thousands of years of the tug a war between power and love
in a stunning defeat God took the Jews and gave them a code, but unlike to Abraham he made them “a kingdom of priests” – “you shouldn’t proselytize, you should simply live by example”
And the perhaps funniest reality, which few of us even understand ensued
For within these tribal nations (again believing other tribes were fair game) live these priests of light
Never proselytizing but always living examples, nations began to convert
