"The gift of God to this enlightened age is the knowledge of the oneness of mankind and of the fundamental oneness of religion. War shall cease between nations, and by the will of God the Most Great Peace shall come; the world will be seen as a new world, and all men will live as brothers."
Abdu'l-Baha1

"O my God! O my God! Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose. May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law. Help them, O God, in their endeavor, and grant them strength to serve Thee. O God! Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord."
Bahá’u’lláh2

DAY 2288: "Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history." Abraham Lincoln, December 1, 1862. Annual Message to Congress - Concluding Remarks   What do you think?

Escaping History

"Fellow-citizens, we cannot escape history."
Abraham Lincoln, December 1, 1862

Abraham Lincoln was right:
We cannot escape history.

We can rewrite it!
We can call it historical fiction!
But we can't evade it!

History will come back to haunt us!
To haunt in words carved on headstones,
and as names engraved on walls.

We are the results of history,
and we can't extract ourselves from it.

We can tear it down,
and attempt to pave it over,
but we can't evade it.

History will return to us,
to be relived
and reenacted by ourselves
and by our children
until we acknowledge its lessons.

DAY 1894: In W. E. B..Du Bois book, The Souls of Black Folk, he addresses the experience of double consciousness, a divided identity split between the consciousness of how one views oneself and how one is viewed by others. Have you struggled with representing yourself while being conscious of how readers may view you when they read your work.

Double Consciousness

In some cases, individual human beings tend to perceive themselves differently from the way they perceive other people. This is the result of a number of things one, of which, is the way a person is raised. Another issue is that we are living in a world in transition. Humanity is moving from a planet segregated into nation-states to one united in peace and brotherhood. In this age a new multidimensional planetary culture is growing within the womb of national, cultural, and religious interaction. The superstitions and dogmas of the past are being revealed for the illusions they are. Human beings are attempting to deal with the stress of a world in transition, and it affects the way we view other people and ourselves.

Some individuals today are attempting to hold onto the "them and us"--double consciousness--attitude that marked past ages, the ages of humanity's childhood and teenage years. Sometimes individual still tend to judge others by their apparent differences from themselves instead of members of the species of humanity. Instead of focusing on the similarities it is the differences that are played up in our consciousness and in the media.

As for me, at 72 the way other people perceive me is and isn't important. I would like them to see me as a human being and not just an old white woman who is different from them. I know this probably is the way many perceive me, and, I also know, that other people perceive me as a human being with similarities to and differences from themselves. I prefer people to accept my differences and similarities to them as enhancements to our interaction and relationship.
