Come gather round people throughout the world
and beat your swords into six strings...

(See art and healing conference
"Canadian goddess)
What if it is not so much "Faith" But "will"
that is the issue....
Don Juan said everything happens because of
intent and will and those are both based on
personal power or impecability.
What if then that is what Christ meant as well
That is why he choose a "seed" as an example.
If you had the "will" of a mustard seed then you could
move mountains... and we have all seen that. How a plant
can get in and crack of a solid concrete or mountain
foundation..... and with time and persistent will
move or seperate the stone.....
Why ? Because of will and why did Teri Shiavbo live for 2
weeks brain injured without food and water..... will
"the will to live...." Can will be shared and communicated
can will be spread... "good will" for instance....
"good will" even has legal legitimacy and value in contrast
to love which is only seen to have sufficient consideration
rather than valueable consideration....
so then is will stronger than love? hmmmmmm
or is there a "love will" a love will that surpasses
all understanding ...... hmmmmmmm
The will of love.....???? me gosh you take a simple basic
elementary concept like "THE WILL OF LOVE" and how we
turn it into things more complex and complicated but left
in its simplicity it is self explanitory and self evident
it does not need to be overanaylzed. Enough that such a
beautious thing doth exist. Like a simple wild flower
in an alpine meadow.... that is the will of love ....
the lily of the field that is the will of love.
Blessed are We and They
That serve Love and Truth
Most of the time.

A Prayer for the day...
As your child oh Universe
I offer this unto you
Just a space of prayer and silence for all
the hostages and the hostage takers.
May we over come our differences and
learn and grow to live in peace and harmony.
Amen More >

IV. ULTIMATE FAILURE AND VARIOUS CONSEQUENCES OF THE CRUSADES
A. None of the goals of the crusades were accomplished. Although some concessions were made by the Moslems in regard to the safe passage of pilgrims, Jerusalem ultimately remained under Moslem control. The Byzantine empire ultimately fell to the Moslems in 1453, and Constantinople became Istanbul. Finally, rather than serving as a means to reunite the eastern and western churches, the crusades increased the animosity between the two factions.
B. Thousands of lives were lost including the lives of several thousand children who set out for the "Holy Land" in what is known as the children's crusade.
C. "Again, the Crusades gave occasion for the rapid development of the system of papal indulgences, which became a dogma of the medieval theologians. The practice, once begun by Urban II at the very outset of the movement, was extended further and further until indulgence for sins was promised not only for the warrior who took up arms against the Saracens in the East, but for those who were willing to fight against Christian heretics in Western Europe." (Schaff, HISTORY..., vol. 5, p. 291)
D. And so, in the crusades we see the inception of the Inquisition, under which any one considered a heretic was in danger of torture and even death at the hands of f the Roman Catholic Church. "From warfare against the non-believer,...it was not a far step to war against the heretic....The Inquisition with all its horror could never have taken such deep root but for the awakening of religious passions which marked the Crusades." (NEW SCHAFF HERZOG ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGIOUS KNOWLEDGE, vol. 3, p. 317)
