From Forethought to Fulfillment

Peace between Esau and Jacob: An analogy of two poles of consciousness

As upset as I have been at the “Esau crowd,” I have still felt so much love for them. The “Esau crowd” by definition is the people who are adamantly starting wars in the name of religion or law. Whether they have a religion or not, they all seem to agree that the rules, although rigid, are perfect and should never be strayed from. They will go to the existent of sacrificing their own children if need be for their cause of “good.” Sacrifices come in many forms from the belief in crucifixion to the sacrificing of their own “fleshly desires” as they would say. It doesn’t matter if they are Christian, Muslim or Jew, etc. They strongly believe in punishment if anyone deviates from the “code of conduct.” These are the hardcore hell addicts and death penalty pushers.

I have pondered their values and beliefs; and I have found them to be good. They want perfection and an idealistic system. They make great communists, because they are the side that maintains the “rules.” They are the epitome of the laws of nature and pattern. They embody an absolute truth, as most of them know already.

I have listened to them. I have heard them say they want peace. They find peace in the rules. As angry as I have been at times, I have a deep admiration for their constant struggle for good. They will settle for nothing less. It is admirable, even though their methodology seems totally contradictory.

Even though they say they want peace, they are at war. Their reasoning is screamed daily. They feel like their rights are being intruded upon. They do not want to change, nor can they. Even if their own lives are in turmoil, through inner struggles, battling forces that consume them through their desires or their own guilt, they are the force that pushes the consciousness forward to producing a solution to find peace.

The other crowd was not given the same rules. They were not born with a built-in code of conduct per se. They may be somewhat aware of the rules, but the rules are not clicking in their heads to the point of absolute understanding. These people might be the dreamers, the artists, etc. Like myself, they are not fully understanding of the concept of “not being able to do” something. These are the people that have contributed to the evolution of technology, sciences, and the craft, among other things.

This second group is made up of angels. They want peace as well, but are in conflict with this existence. It’s just not their home.

The two forces are battling inside the womb, just like it says in Genesis 25:21~22: “…Rebecca became pregnant. But the children clashed inside of her, and when this occurred, she asked, ‘Why is this happening to me?’…”

From what I understand so far, there are two basic poles of thought that are fighting in this womb of earth. Unity will only be possible by separation: one will go to the left, the other to the right. And there will be one in the middle that holds the balance.
