May God Have Mercy On our Souls........
Mercy.... This word has been picking at me for the past two days trying to find understanding to it or a way to voice my insights on it. It has been hard to find a way to put it to paper so I picked what I felt would kind of explain my feelings on this word.
When I was a child we played a game called Mercy. How it is played is that you face your opponent and you interlock you fingers with theirs in front of each other. On ready set go, each player would flip your opponents hands down and attempt to bend the fingers, as to inflect great pain until the weaker of the two Screams from excruciating Pain for Mercy. The winner would arrogantly accept the please of Mercy and release the grip upon the loser. I guess the concept of giving mercy does not compute because I..m not sure if the excruciating pain we have faced amongst each other is an infliction of intentional pain. I do not think we purposely challenge each other to find the weaker of the two.... I can only see forgiveness as being an answer to the human action.
I really don..t see the God I worship purposely-inflecting pain upon creation or vise versa. Seems like that would be some kind of sadistic ritual to me. Nor do I see our creator being arrogant when being the victorious in creation hurting.
I guess since I see Mercy as a word mankind in its infinite need to create labels made to describe submission to its torment and judgment I cannot have it for any one soul or expect to receive it for my own as I have not purposely caused someone pain nor do I believe mankind has purposely cause me pain.
See I look as life as such... LOVE UNCONDITIONAL... and to put it best I..m pasting a response to a few other blogs. I have replied to.
Blog (1) (This is in response to someone asking on a scale of 1 to10 how would one rate this, and an opinion. A husband had found out that after 16 years marriage the 2 children he had loved and raised along with his wife, where not his.
..
Oh okay here's my outtake: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. When he married her, did he love her unconditional without exception, no underline or hidden small print, no buts, forgiveness, respect, understanding, compromise, trust, compassion, OUT RIGHT LOVE/GOD. Did he accept her as she was for better and worst... Did he pledge a vow of love to her and she not pledge one to him? The Love of two people without exceptions? In their marriage vowel did they make stipulations that said "but if I find that your human existence is WEAK in anyway later I will dump your ass like a hot potato, and all spiritual and emotional true love will be void and no forgiveness will be extended pursuant to what society has dictated to me? See the problem I have with this is for 16 years these to people have been together. Raising 2 kids to the best of their ability. Showing them love unconditional. Loving each other. I..m sure they have had their ups and downs but forgave each other when the storm past. Human nature says we do wrong at times. We are not perfect nor are we GOD. God/loves is unconditional and without exception. It is our social training that teaches us stipulations on Love. A question is what if it had been the other way around and he had 2 children outside the marriage and she found out, would he expect forgiveness knowing he had made a mistake but because of societies out take on infidelity he could not find it in his conscious to tell her. Not that he would deny his seed but he did not want society to judge and condemn him. My feeling is the both nourished lives with love. No matter who furnished the egg or fertilizer? They nourished two lives. Why is it that we can forgive the most heinous crimes of murder, thief, abuse etc. but when it comes to any sex... which by the way is not a crime we look for the most drastic punishment? Society becomes judge and jury over two spirits. Judgment is that of Gods. If they truly loved each unconditional then can forgiveness not be had? Should they let Ego..s destroy the love of a family? We have so little love left in this world. And yes by the way I have been through this on his part and have welcomed the seed of another just as I did my own, accepted his faults and moved on to nourish two other lives. ....To weigh this issue at hand... before finding out how was the relationship between the two. Did she share her love for him honoring him as her husband and the man she loved? Did she fulfill his other needs as a wife? Did she forgive him for his mistakes no matter how small or how grand? Did she love him unconditionally? And has he not loved her the same? DO THEY LOVE EACH Other? If yes, then why is this any different then any other mistake that can be forgiven under the statement of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE/GOD? ....On a scale from 1 to 10 I say the crime here should be placed in front of the one's holding the scales placing Judgments.... Doing Gods Job. This is something your friend has to search his soul for an answer without the opinions of a society trained to condemn us for our mistakes. I say turn off the television, radio, phone, etc. and listen to the answers from within without interference. God is within and from past experience once I blocked out the noise of society, I have found that I could her those answers being told me loud and clear... and all have turn out to be the right answers leaving me without anger hate or bitterness but Love and forgiveness for all. I think that if he looks at the fact that him and her together accomplished a task that is our greatest duty, to nourish what God gives us LIFE... then nothing else should matter and no opinion by man should take this honor from them.

To make a stance and love the entire world JUST AS I DO MYSELF, has been the greatest revelation in my life. It has taught me to Love all Unconditionally, Just as God has done. Without Judgment, hidden meaning, underlined statements, condemnation. Loving all with the same compassion and forgiveness I would have for myself. I see people in a different Light, All being ONE. A dear friend of mine brought this concept to me about 3 years ago... *QQN up* and I thank him and bow before him. He is one of our true Kings. Instead of judging ones actions, I know ask what lesson was God teaching me when he presented those persons within my path in my journey through life. Once I learn what was being taught it brings an inner peace and love of this universe. A feeling that is unexplainable. A Love that I KNOW it is the Unconditional Love/Light/GOD.... all ONE...
Email (1) Responding to my saying ..I am your friend rather you like it or not.
If our Universe is made up of One Energy and everything within it is of that same One Energy and that One Energy flows throughout every ONE existence within this Universe, would this not make you me and me you?
So... I really don't know too many people who are not friends with themselves.
I tend to find comfort in Loving all within this One Energy Just as I love MySelf... I have no choice. Knowing the Laws of ONE... To say I do not Love someone or they are not my friend and attempt to attack him or her by abandoning that love and friendship would be silly. How does one abandon one's self.
Okay, I guess what I I..ve said with these responses are, FORGIVENESS. I don..t see compassion for mankind as having Mercy. I see it as my learning how to forgive mankind for the mistake that come with being a Human Being in a Universe of Confusion. If I can forgive myself for the same mistakes why can I not forgive all? To humble oneself and remember that the ego is what has driven mankind to challenge and place judgment on the weak, has allowed me understand compassion. I can now simply Forgive as I think God would no matter how grand the infliction and continue to love and focus on solving other problems life brings about.
I don..t know if my outlooks seem stupid, impossible, crazy etc. but they seem to work for me because I can truly say this is the best I have ever felt in my life.
Love all Much
Love/Light ... Creamyyy
