YOUNG GRETA'S PRAYER.....HOPEFULLY WILL LEAD TO BIGGER CHANGES...

DEAR 

WHY IS A MAN WITH NO LETTERS (….SCRAPING THROUGH WITH 3RD CLASS HONOURS FROM TRINITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN, AGES AGO….) WRITING TO LEARNED LEADERS OF PAST AND PRESENT DAY MORALITY…..

BECAUSE FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS I ALSO HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING, THINKING, WORRYING AND WRITING ABOUT THE SAME THINGS THAT YOUNG GRETA IS WORRIED ABOUT. WITH ABSOLUTELY NIL RESULTS.

HENCE A BOLDER ATTEMPT TO GET THESE THOUGHTS OUT INTO THE LIGHT OF DAY…..SO PLEASE HEAR MY PRAYER………

(….I DON’T GIVE UP EASILY…I ONCE WAS A MUTUAL FUND SALESMAN…!!)

THE MAIN MESSAGE…CHANGE IS NEEDED….AND THE BEST PEOPLE TO CARRY OUT THAT CHANGE IS A RE-BOOTED ARMY OF CHURCHMEN.
AND THE BEST TIME IS NOW…..HUMAN GUILT ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT HAS BEEN ADMITTED AND IS OUT IN THE OPEN.  AND THE AVERAGE JOE IS LOOKING FOR SOME KIND OF GUIDANCE.

WHY IS CHANGE NEEDED.?   BECAUSE NORMAL ROLES HAVE BEEN REVERSED. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, NATURE, OR MOTHER EARTH, HAS BEEN HIT BY THE MOST TERRIFYING “PERFECT HUMAN STORM”…..USUALLY IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

ALTHOUGH ‘HOMO SAPIENS’ WITH HIS LARGE AND CALCULATING BRAIN HAS BEEN AROUND FOR MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS, HE HAS BEEN ‘LYING DORMANT’, CAUSING NO REAL PROBLEMS TO HIS ENVIRONMENT OR TO HIS ANIMAL COUSINS WHO LIVED WITH HIM.
THEN, IN THE TINIEST PIN PRICK OF ECOLOGICAL TIME, OUT OF THE BLUE, OVER THE LAST 300 YEARS OF REAL TIME, CERTAIN ASPECTS OF HUMANITY CAME TOGETHER FORMING A KNOCK OUT PUNCH SO POWERFUL THAT OUR DEAR OLD PLANET IS NOW LYING FLAT OUT ON THE CANVAS WITH THE REFEREE HALF WAY THROUGH HIS COUNT TO TEN.
” WHAT ON EARTH HAS HIT ME?” WONDERS THE FUZZY BRAIN OF OUR PLANET, NOW TRYING TO PICK HERSELF OFF THE FLOOR.

TWO THINGS CAUSED THAT POWERFUL KNOCK OUT PUNCH. BOTH ENABLED BY THE EXTRA FEW CUBIC CENTIMETRES OF BRAIN POWER THAT MAN HAS OVER AND ABOVE HIS ANIMAL COUSINS.
THE ‘HIDDEN’ POWER OF THE HUMAN BRAIN HAD BEEN QUIETLY GESTATING FOR OVER HALF A MILLION YEARS, GRADUALLY BUILDING UP A POOL OF KNOWLEDGE UNTIL THE ONE TERRIFYING POINT WHEN FUSION WAS REACHED, CAUSING HUMANITY TO EXPLODE INTO AN EXTRA-ORDINARY ‘POWER PLAY’ OF NEW INVENTIONS, SCIENTIFIC, MEDICAL AND INDUSTRIAL ADVANCES HITHERTO UNSEEN OR EVEN THOUGHT ABOUT. THE HUMAN POPULATION ITSELF EXPLODED AND THE TOYS AND TOOLS OF INDUSTRY AND WARFARE THAT MANKIND HAS HAD TO PLAY WITH, HAVE, ALL OF A SUDDEN, CAUSED OUR HUGE ALL POWERFUL AND SEEMINGLY INDESTRUCTIBLE PLANET TO BE REDUCED TO THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL THAT CAN NOW BE KICKED AROUND FOR THE MATERIAL PLEASURES AND WANTS OF MAN.

SO GREAT HAS BEEN MAN’S DOMINANCE OVER NATURE, AND SO SECURE IN HIS OWN SECURITY DID WESTERN MAN BECOME, THAT HE DECIDED TO ‘DUMP’ HIS ORIGINAL HEADMASTER, TOGETHER WITH HIS ‘TIMELESS LAWS OF GOD’ AND INSTITUTED HIS OWN LAWS INSTEAD.
NEW MODERN MAN SUDDENLY THOUGHT HE KNEW MORE THAN THE COMBINED WISDOM OF THOUSANDS OF GENERATIONS OF OLD HUMANITY. HE THOUGHT MODERN MAN WAS NOW SO CIVILISED, ALTRUISTIC AND INTELLIGENT THAT IT WOULD BE SAFE TO TEAR UP THE TIME HONOURED RULES OF RESTRAINT AND AIRBRUSH OUT ALL FORMS OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT WHICH CAUSED THE FEAR THAT MADE THOSE LAWS OF RESTRAINT WORK.
MODERN MAN HAS TRIED TO LIFT THE HUMAN BEING OUT OF HIS ANIMAL BODY AND CONVINCE HIMSELF THAT “ORIGINAL SIN” IS NOW NO MORE.

THE RESULT. MODERN MAN HAS FALLEN FLAT ON HIS FACE. PEACEFUL LAW ABIDING SOCIETIES ARE DISINTEGRATING RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES AND THE UNBOUNDED GREED OF MAN IS NOW HUNGRILY DEVOURING THE VERY ENVIRONMENT WE NEED TO SUSTAIN OUR OWN SELVES TOGETHER WITH ALL OTHER LIVING LIFE ON THE PLANET.

SHAKESPEARE SAID IT RIGHT…”SECURITY IS MORTAL’S CHIEFEST ENEMY”…BEWARE OF OVERCONFIDENCE.

THOSE ARE THE TWO GIANT BOLTS OF LIGHTENING IN THE PERFECT HUMAN STORM. THE GREAT BRAIN OF MAN HAS CREATED INVENTIONS AND SCIENCE THAT HAVE ENABLED HIM TO PHYSICALLY CONQUER NATURE, AND SECONDLY, HE HAS INVENTED NEW LAWS OF HIS OWN THAT ARE DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE TO THE RULES OF RESTRAINT AND SELF DISCIPLINE OF THE PAST. THE NEW MODERN ‘GIVING’ STATE HAS NOW BOOTED OUT THE ‘RESTRAINING’ CHURCH. YOU COULD EVEN SAY THAT THE YOUNG, GOOD LOOKING BUT FALSE GODS OF DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM, BASED ON SELFISHNESS, HAVE DRIVEN OUT THE OLD GOD OF CIVILISATION, BASED ON RESTRAINT. ALL TO THE DETRIMENT OF GOOD MANNERS AND INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

HUMANITY IS NOW BASICALLY LOST AND OUT OF CONTROL. WITH MOTHER NATURE ALREADY ON HER KNEES.

SOOOOO……HELP……WHERE DO WE GO AND WHAT DO WE DO.?
…..SIMPLE…WE GO STRAIGHT BACK TO THE BODY OF MEN WHO HELPED FORM ‘THE TIMELESS LAWS OF GOD’ IN THE FIRST PLACE.  THE BODY OF RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN, ARE AND WILL BE IN CHARGE OF THE MORALS AND MANNERS OF MANKIND. THE SAME BODY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE INTRODUCED THE LAWS OF RESTRAINT AND THE RESPECTIVE PUNISHMENTS SO THAT MAN’S ‘ORIGINAL SIN’ COULD BE KEPT UNDER CONTROL SUFFICIENTLY SO THAT HE COULD LIVE IN PEACE TOGETHER WITH HIS FELLOW MAN.
TODAY, THESE SAME LAWS HAVE TO BE BROUGHT BACK, WITHIN REASON, AND NEW AND MORE POWERFUL LAWS HAVE TO BE TAUGHT SO THAT WE CAN BEGIN TO LIVE ‘WITH’ AND LOVE MOTHER NATURE.

GOOD MANNERS TO NATURE WILL, AT LONG LAST, ‘TRUMP’ GOOD MANNERS TO MAN.

ALL I CAN DO WITH THIS LETTER IS TO URGE THE CHURCH, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG WITHIN THE CHURCH WITH HUGE AMOUNTS OF ENERGY, TO RESET YOUR SIGHTS ABOVE THE PARAPET OF MORE SOUP KITCHENS FOR THE POOR…(DISTANCE YOURSELF FROM ‘THE GIVING  STATE’)…AND INSTEAD ENTER THE MUCH HARDER BATTLE OF HAMMERING GOOD MANNERS

( “THOUGH SHALT NOTS” ) AND SELF RELIANCE INTO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOUR FOLLOWERS. THROW YOUR SELF INTO SAVING GOD’S CREATION, EVEN IF IT MEANS DE-RELIGIFYING RELIGION AS WE KNOW IT TODAY. I AM SURE JESUS AND MOHAMMED WOULD NOT OBJECT.

OUR WORLD’S ECOLOGICAL PROBLEMS SEEM SO LARGE THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. BUT ALL YOU HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON IS ONE INDIVIDUAL HUMAN BEING….( EACH TINY PIECE OF PLASTIC WASTE YOU SEE ON THE STREETS COMES FROM THE HAND OF ONE HUMAN BEING..!!)…IF YOU CAN CHANGE HIS MANNERS, THE WORD WILL SPREAD. AND AS HUMAN MANNERS CONTROL HUMAN PHYSICAL ACTION, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT THE ECONOMIC/INDUSTRIAL MARKETS TOGETHER WITH THE POLITICAL MARKET, AND EVEN THE RELIGIOUS MARKETS, WILL BE DIRECTED TOWARDS MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY POSITIONED GOAL POSTS.
THAT CHANGE WILL BE STRONG AND SUSTAINABLE. BECAUSE IT WILL BE VOLUNTARY, COMING FROM THE GROUND UP, NOT DIRECTED  FROM THE TOP DOWN.
AND WHO KNOWS, ONE DAY, THE ‘RESTRAINING’ CHURCH MAY FIND ITSELF KICKING THE ‘GIVING’ STATE INTO TOUCH…?!

ENOUGH FOR OPENERS….PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO ME. HOPEFULLY, TALK AMONGST YOURSELVES. I CAN SAY NO MORE THAN WHAT YOU SEE HERE AND WHAT YOU CAN FURTHER GATHER FROM WWW.ANORDINARYPROPHET.CO.UK

NOTHING IS PERFECT, AND I AM SURE THIS IS FULL OF INACCURACIES, BUT I HOPE IT MAY SPARK SOME NEW AND MORE REALISTIC VISIONS AND GOALS FOR YOUR ARMY OF GOOD YOUNG MEN. WE ALL KNOW THAT SOMETHING MEANINGFUL HAS TO HAPPEN.

PHILIP ARUNDELL.
