Guest commentary by Atum

Dear fellow Earthlings,



Today, I have decided to start writing. I have no idea where I am going or how I am going to get there, but you have to start somewhere. Today is November 2nd, 2009 according to the Gregorian Calendar. Tomorrow will be November 3rd, 2009 and the beginning of my Mother's 53rd trip around the sun. I now live in Richmond, CA, just a few miles from San Fransico, but grew up in Dallas, Tx where my family still resides. Now that I have somewhere to start, I shall attempt to be a guide through this amazing planet we live on. I only hope to show my perspective, and leave it up to you to agree or disagree.

To begin, I would like to say that each and everyone of us (nearly 7 billion), are all here on this planet, at this particular place in time, for a purpose. We are all lucky enough to be here on this planet to experience a celestial event that only happens once every 26,000 years. As far as we know, through history, is a record of around 5000 years. Therefore, we are talking about a length of time that is 5 times the amount of written history. Everything beyond that is pre-history. There is nothing written that could ever explain what may or may not happen when this event occurs, and we all have been chosen to be here and experience this amazing event.

It is my understanding that what will happen, in the simplest terms, is that the Earth will be eclipsed by the Sun and cut off from the center of the Galaxy. Scientist, and the like, could theorize endlessly about what the possibilities may be, but the fact is that nobody truly knows what will happen. I believe that this is an event that allows us to make the next leap in evolution, or to make the changes that we need to make to continue our wonderful life on this home we call Planet Earth. Let's face it, as we continue down the path we are on, there is but a slim chance we will be able to sustain life here anymore. The Earth will continue, but we humans may not.

There once was a time, not too long ago, when the different cultures, societies, cities, and such were much more separated, and we were all able to live our secluded lives and have our own beliefs about how the world is supposed to work. Today, we no longer have this luxury. We are now truly a fully connected planetary people. With the positive use of technology like the internet, we are all connected from one side of the globe to the other and all places in between.

As we continue this growth, it becomes more and more essential to come up with new ways of perceiving our reality. The old ways we used to view our world, with the separatists views, are what causes most of the conflict in this beautiful place we live and call home. There have been more wars fought over the difference of religion than nearly any other reason. I have but one thing to say on this subject, but I think it is substantial enough to help create change. No matter how you want to see it, no matter what your religion, no matter who or what you believe God to be, or if you don't even believe in God; there can be only one true beginning. No matter how far back you want to go, this Universe and all things in it had to begin somewhere. That somewhere could only be one singular point, and it is that point that is God. It is that point, from which all things started from.

All life has to begin somewhere. If you agree with me on this point, then there can only be one true creator, or one true God. It is up to you who or what that God may be (I'm sure he has numerous names). If this is true, then it would be fair to say that God created all the religions, as God created everything. If this is true, then there is a reason why all of these religions were created. It is our test as a species! It is our final exam to deem whether or not we as a species should be allowed to continue to live upon this amazing planet.

We all seem to get caught up in the semantics of everything and are missing the bigger picture. Each and every religion has it's good points and it's not so good points, but they all seem to want to fight over who is right and who is wrong. No body wants to back down, even though we are all wrong. We need to be one people, as we are all praying to the same God, no matter what you may believe. Is it a coincidence that Jerusalem, the supposed "Holy Land" is divided amongst most of the largest religions of the world? We desperately need to stop fight amongst ourselves and begin to learn from one another. This is our test!


If we can not get along with one another, then how are we ever going to be deemed worthy of joining a galactic society known as Heaven. God has a name, and to me that name is Father. I am a son of God, just as all, nearly 7 billion of us, are the sons and daughters of God. We are all made in the image of the Father, and are all capable of creation.

As we all come together in a singular point of view, we come that much closer to being able to create this world into the Heaven that we all desperately want to achieve. None of us are alone, and we all bleed red no matter what you look like on the outside.
