The Way  6



The Return of the Way

Long ago, those above tested that which is below. But for the finding of
one good man, two cities and many people would have been saved. Alas,
not one was found. The destruction and death that rained down on Sodom
was, as they say, "of Biblical proportions." This time, two stood above
the rest. Two who heard the Way and realized the significance. Two stood
faithful when silence and darkness was their only reward. Two small
flickering flames that refused to go out. She who sent me is pleased.
The Moon is full once again with that which it has not felt in so very
long  hope.

I have been called MaDi, by some. It means "Sent by the Moon." My real
name is not important, and since I was born under the sign of the Moon,
I find the name of MaDi to be an appropriate pen name. It should be
pronounced "MahDee." There is a nottoosmall portion of poetic irony in
using this name. Many years from now, you will understand.

I will soon begin to write the Way messages again. It order for you to
appreciate them for what they are, you must know what they were once.
Long ago. The Way is not new. It has been with you all along. All that I
tell you was once known, but is now forgotten. It has been hidden in the
shadows of ignorance and the darkness of man's own desire to dominate
and control his fellow man. I intend to be a light for you in that
darkness. A light that shines on the path of your life so that once
again, you may find your way.

There is nothing special in what I do, except in the reason that I do
it. I do it because I believe in you. I do it because I love each and
every one of you. It is the same love that would move me to help one of
my children or my brother, sister, mother, father or wife. It is done
without condition or need for payment. This is love at it purest and its
most powerful. If you can but learn to love one another in this Way,
there is nothing that you will not achieve, and nothing in the heavens
that will be denied you. This, above all else is the Way.

Come with me now on a journey to your own past. I want to show you that
the Way can be found, if you but open your eyes. Before you hear my Way,
listen and understand the Way of old and wonder at how new it sounds.
These passages were removed from the book you call the Bible. Long ago,
the Way was spread throughout the world by special teachers. I have
selected a few that I believe to be important. I will add a comment to
some.



Matthew 3:3  For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah,
saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the WAY of
the Lord, make his paths straight.

Matthew 7:13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the WAY, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which
go in thereat.

Life is a series of choices. There are many different choices and many
people who can influence you. Know what it is in life you want to
achieve. To live on a world where insanity rules, and in the end not to
have been driven insane yourself, that is your path, your WAY. Keep the
path of your life firmly in your sights and always straight ahead.



Matthew 7:14  Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the WAY, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Matthew 11:10  For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my
messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy WAY before thee.

The messengers or teachers have been sent many times to many lands.
Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, Muhammad, these are a few. They were all
different and yet they all spoke the same WAY.



Matthew 13:4  And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the WAY side, and
the fowls came and devoured them up:

Matthew 21:32  For John came unto you in the WAY of righteousness, and
ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and
ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe
him.

Matthew 22:16  And they sent out unto him their disciples with the
Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the
WAY of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest
not the person of men.

Luke 1:79  To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow
of death, to guide our feet into the WAY of peace.

Deja vu is WAY cool.



John 10:1  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the
door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other WAY, the same is a
thief and a robber.

Religion is a powerful thing. Many times, men have used this power to
inflict their own will and desires on others. It has led to many
socalled Holy Wars and the oppression of half the world's population,
namely woman. The door that leads to the Way has been clearly marked.
Time and time again, detour signs were thrown up to help guide them
back. They know who they are, and when the time comes they will be dealt
with.



John 14:4  And whither I go ye know, and the WAY ye know.

John 14:5  Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest;
and how can we know the WAY?

To know the difference between right and wrong  this is the Way. To do
good for it's sake alone  this is the Way. To hurt no living thing,
neither in body or spirit without an absolute and justified reason  this
is the Way. To see beyond the veil and perceive the potential good in
all things  this is the Way. To oppose that which is evil and
destructive with all your might  this is the Way. Is this Way so alien
to you? Are these things not known, or are they hidden deep inside you
and is the effort to retrieve them simply too much effort? To search for
the Way is to search for truth. To find the Way is to find yourself.
There is no other Way.

I am the Way. You are the Way. In the Way, we are all One.



John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Mother, but by me.

Yes, I changed it. I'm allowed. There are many things which are not as
they seem. If you think this is something, wait  the best is yet to
come. There is much to learn but even a greater amount to unlearn. The
path has become twisted, the signposts changed. Not to worry, I know the
Way, by heart.



Acts 16:17  The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men
are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the WAY of
salvation.

Acts 18:25  This man was instructed in the WAY of the Lord; and being
fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the
Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.

Acts 19:23  And the same time there arose no small stir about that WAY.

The Way is truth and truth is like a storm.



Acts 24:14  But this I confess unto thee, that after the WAY which they
call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things
which are written in the law and in the prophets:

Jesus was a heretic. If this be heresy then, make the most out of it, my
friend. The greatest strife is usually caused by people fighting over
identical beliefs. It's like two small children who beat each other up
over whether chocolate or vanilla, is the better ice cream. Sometimes
there is a legitimate excuse, like the frozen yogurt punk. But as long
as it's ice cream, regardless of the flavor, you scream, I scream, we
ALL scream for ice cream.



Romans 3:2  Much every WAY: chiefly, because that unto them were
committed the oracles of God.

Romans 3:12  They are all gone out of the WAY, they are together become
unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

There are some up there who believe this. Please, believe me. Before
it's too late.



Romans 3:17  And the WAY of peace have they not known:

1 Corinthians 12:31  But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I
unto you a more excellent WAY.

1 Thessalonians 3:11  Now God himself and our Mother, and our Lord Jesus
Christ, direct our way unto you.

James 5:20  Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the
error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a
multitude of sins.

A single act of kindness is worth ten thousand thousand, bent knees and
muttered words. To help another rid themselves of evil is the ultimate
act of kindness. It is called love.



2 Peter 2:21  For it had been better for them not to have known the Way
of righteousness than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy
commandment delivered unto them.

To do a thing and know no better is ignorance. It is an act of kindness
to educate the ignorant. To know a thing is wrong and do it anyway, is
stupidity. To do a wrong thing intentionally is evil. The Way is the
flame of knowledge to the ignorant and a flaming sword of destruction to
those who do evil.



These words were all written long ago, and yet their meaning is as true
today as then. They were given to the peoples of Earth by their brothers
and sisters from the stars. They did this because in you, they saw the
potential for good. They knew that if only you had enough knowledge, you
would find your own Way back home, there to become a valued and
treasured member of the Human Races. If it hurts your ego to know that
you are only a small part of a larger human culture, then you have
farther to go than was thought.

There are many surprises on the horizon for Earth and her people. You
will surely stumble and fall on your Way. As in times before, there is
someone out there to lend a helping hand. This does not mean that you
should expect them to cure all your problems for you. The best Way to
learn and grow is by doing. Some of the best lessons you can learn are
those that hurt the most. For they are not easily forgotten, nor are
they usually, foolishly repeated. The Way is your map to finding that
which lies beyond. It has a power that overcomes all obstacles. Jesus
and Muhammad brought the Way, and it changed the course of human history
forever. We shall soon see whether their efforts were in vain.

Remember  I am the match, but you are the fire. Burn brightly. Let your
light pierce the darkness that surrounds this world. Give those who are
cold, your warmth. Let your light illuminate the path for others. And
when need be, become a fire storm consuming and utterly destroying that
which is evil. I sense a storm coming, the likes of which the Earth has
never known. It is our storm and this is our time. Will you sit still in
apathy and let the world pass by, or will you become the stormbringer?
Is it your destiny to whimper a surrender or scream to the very reaches
of Heaven, "cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war?"

Let the Ragnarok begin.

Peace,

MaDi






Agnostics question with boldness even the existence of a God; because,
if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that
of blindfolded fear.

  Thomas Jefferson (17431826), U.S. President. Letter, 10 August, 1787.

Man is made to adore and to obey: but if you will not command him, if
you give him nothing to worship, he will fashion his own divinities, and
find a chieftain in his own passions. 

  Benjamin Disraeli (18041881), English statesman, author. Sidonia, in
  Coningsby, book 4, ch. 13 (1844).

Our knowledge of the historical worth of certain religious doctrines
increases our respect for them, but does not invalidate our proposal
that they should cease to be put forward as the reasons for the precepts
of civilization. On the contrary! Those historical residues have helped
us to view religious teachings, as it were, as neurotic relics, and we
may now argue that the time has probably come, as it does in an analytic
treatment, for replacing the effects of repression by the results of the
rational operation of the intellect.

   Illusion, ch. 8 (1927)
