The continuing-existence of high levels of continuing-personal-and-communal integrations-and- integrities --- demonstrates that neither chaos nor evil does have the ultimate power or significance of God. Neither does "The Domination System" have any ultimate power or significance. Love/God will endure and prevail. In the modern scientific view of the beginning of time, space and matter --- the cosmos was more chaotic in- the-beginning than now; and local manifestations of integrations and integrity have evolved in spite of the exceedingly high level of chaos in the beginning. What sense does it make to say that CHAOS or EVIL has ultimate power or meaning IN-AN-ACTIVE-SENSE --- if demonstrations of integrations and integrities can evolve within the midst of an unimaginably level of almost total CHAOS? It will make more sense to regard RELATIONAL- CHAOS and RELATIONAL-EVIL as passive realities which can be understood and transcended as PASSIVE-REALITIES which have not-yet-seen truly ACTIVE-INTEGRATIONS and truly ACTIVE-INTEGRITIES. There is truly INTEGRATIVE-WORK-YET- TO-BE-DONE. There is no powerfully ACTIVE-EVIL-SPIRIT to be destroyed, violated or coerced INTO-SUBMISSION and/or conformity. UNILATERAL violence, coercion, attacks, etc. are never truly in ORDER as means to be used/abused in efforts to CREATE ORDER in the midst of PHYSICAL and REFLEXIVE- CHAOS. It is time to grow-up and engage in INTEGRATIVE and CREATIVE-WORKS --- so that we may enjoy personal and communal integrations and integrities TOGETHER! CHAOS and EVIL are not active powers. RELATIONAL CHAOS and EVIL are symptoms of the relative-absence of LOVE'S presence within our own RELATIONAL-INTEGRATIONS and RELATIONAL-INTEGRITIES. In the ABSENCE of LOVE's integrations-and-integrities --- chaos/evil will merely continue, and in a passive-sense "prevail". In the absence of LOVE's integrations and integrities --- it is natural that UNILATERAL-COERCION and UNILATERAL-VIOLENCE will augment RELATIONAL-COERCION and RELATIONAL-EVIL. Such natural augmentations of chaos/evil are not personally punishments initiated by any personal being. They are just natural-consequences of foolish, coercive, tragic, and violent behaviors of people who do not understand the nature of evil/chaotic PERSONAL- RELATIONSHIPS --- in the absence of LOVE's works of reconciliation, healing, peacemaking, integration, etc. In the absence of LOVE's works --- fears motivate and guide our behaviors that augment: "The Domination System", dichotomizations, binary-questions, binary-answers, binary-responses, binary-thinking, polarizations; us/them, either/or, yes/no, good/evil, right/wrong, true/false, friend/enemy, saved/dammed, etc./etc. The natural-fruits of fears' labors are bitter: alienations, estrangements, mis-understandings, ignorance, prejudices, coercion, violence, personal-disintegrations, communal- disintegrations. EVIL pertains to the absence-of-LOVE's-works --- far more than EVIL pertains to the active-presence-and-work of any essentially-demonic: spirit, angel, power, god, devil, etc. Peacemaking thus entails promoting and facilitating the presence-of-LOVE's-works; rather than any essentially-negative-resistance-against any ACTIVE-and- ESSENTIALLY-EVIL: demon, spirit, angel, god, God, dichotomy, polarization, devil, power, principality, person, enemy, etc. True-peacemaking entails many small essentially- positive-affirmations through the works-of-LOVE; rather than any GREAT-and-MAJOR CONFRONTATIONS-with or BLOCKAGES- of any essentially-evil-agents of-any-kind. True peacemakers are not working to defeat any essentially evil: people, agents, spirits, demons, angels, gods, Gods or enemies to achieve any kind of: dominance, control, defeat, etc. People who look for others who are essentially evil and so are worthy of defeat and/or elimination --- thereby engender many evil-relationships which can never be mitigated or eliminated by any unilateral efforts by anybody; not even by God. Such evil-relationships can be mitigated only through Love's ways which include, but are not limited to: patience, gentleness, kindness, meekness, humility, civility, hospitality, reconciliation, forgiveness, integrations, integrities, cooperation, mutuality, understanding, tolerance, reverence, affirmations, etc. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
