The Universal Peace Movement

A.  Movement and Melody

Movement takes a person from one point of view to
another and from one idea to another.  Movement puts
twenty melodies to the same song lyric.  "What's the
use of that?" you ask.  Well, one person prefers one
melody to another, and when you have twenty melodies
to the same lyric, that's an invitation for someone to
write nineteen more poems... one for each tune.  The
result is lots more songs and lots more singing if
people are in the mood.

In the mood?  Well, yes.  With free movement, moods
freely rise and a song moves the singer from note to
note.  Singing and movement are compatible.  It makes
sense that singing and peace-making go together and
come more easily to persons who enjoy movement.  So
imagine a new society of peace where every day
children learn about peace in theory and in practice. 
We expect they will be happy, musical, and hyperactive
by today's standards.  We expect they will be humming
or singing all the time.

B.  Universal Education Teaches Mass Depression

Today's schools actually teach depression, rigidity,
and speech without singing musical notes.  For hours a
day children sit silently and scarcely move their
bodies.  Meanwhile, along with the huge ticking wall
clock, the teacher drones on and on.  Young minds are
firmly set as their young butts remain firmly set in
chairs.  Free movement is denied.  Creativity is
blocked.  The best and brightest student sits still,
stands still, never fidgets, doesn’t scribble and
doodle, and remembers all the facts.  Such exemplary
students grow up to win scholarships and land
prestigious jobs.  But what about empathy?  What about
compassion?  What about feeling the other person's
burden?  Yes, and what about the long lost gift of
melody that isn’t even heard on the radio much
anymore?

Champions of compassion argue against war, against
caging animals, and against forcing young children
into the rigid motionless pastures imposed by
professional educators.  Compassionate persons move
about and pay attention to more subjects than school
permits.  Yes, and observe how Jesus Christ walked
around Palestine and taught by parables.  The
compassion of Jesus is understandable in terms of his
own hyperactivity.  Today society would put Jesus on
Ritalin or some other psychotropic medication which
reduces a person's need to move about.  Moreover, some
things Jesus said still sound crazy to successful and
prominent people.

In the old days, an uncommon person like Jesus was
explained by using the old idea of GOD the Creator. 
Jesus was a prodigy.  A poet could see Jesus as like a
lightning bolt thrown by Jupiter to strike down
sinners.  Today we can simply understand Jesus as a
prodigy of great movement, and a prodigious mover of
people.  Consequently we can bring The Christ back all
around the world by studying movement and by engaging
in free movements every day.  This truly is the way
the Messiah will bring peace.

C.  The Art of Inspiration

In drawing, movement makes the pen travel freely over
the paper tracing out lines and curves without the
mind's being fixed on any idea of what to draw.  In
meditation the artist lets his or her hand feel the
presence of Jesus Christ or some other "compassionate
Lord of the dance."  In the cosmos, every atom is
dancing freely in accord with nature's universal rule
of vibration and heat.  Indeed, the artist in heat
feels attunement with the whole universe and draws
freely on his or her inspiration.  This freedom
enables a child to experience and express the very
Heart of God and the Radiance that Adi Da calls "The
Bright."  Long may IT shine!

Even brilliant modern theorists have difficulty
tolerating movement and understanding movement.  The
vacant-minded child who feels the very "Heart of God"
vibrates his or her whole body in a rhythmic "HMMMMMA"
dance that keeps the child's body rocking back and
forth and moving continually in a society where
children are taught to remain motionless.  Most
children comply because they keep their attention
fixed on persons and what persons say and do.  But a
few children let their attention move freely away from
persons.  These children can't comply with modern
demands and expectations and may be punished or
medicated by the social authorities.  On the other
hand, more compassionate people let freedom ring and
promote true liberty.

D.  Every Christ uses Calculus

Calculus is the language of subtle movements and
changes.  Without calculus, even brilliant theorists
have no way of accurately understanding nature, and
communicating their understanding to other people. 
Subtle changes in the mind itself are expressed by
free movement.  As the mind and the body are one,
these free movements are expressed as free dancing or
free art.  They all employ calculus to sense and
express feelings and intuitions.  These free movements
are a cognitive aid and they can be studied and
related to problem-solving.  One example is given by
John 8:1-10 as Jesus “stooped down and wrote upon the
ground” which helped him know what to say.  

The familiar text (John 8:1-10 (New International
Version)) reads:

1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he
appeared again in the temple courts, where all the
people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach
them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees
brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her
stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, "Teacher,
this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the
Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what
do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap,
in order to have a basis for accusing him. 
   But Jesus bent down and started to write on the
ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning
him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one
of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a
stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the
ground. 
    9At this, those who heard began to go away one at
a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was
left, with the woman still standing there. 10Jesus
straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they?
Has no one condemned you?"

CONCLUSION:  The End of War

Every child is born with The Christ within.  The
Christ is the super-intuitive and spontaneous problem
solver inside of each and every super-creative child. 
Old cultures block The Christ so that each child
learns to be rigid in mind and in body.  Free movement
isn’t encouraged.  A few children pay less attention
to society and these “autistics” are often moving
despite all the social pressure to be motionless.  In
the autistics the movement continues and the entire
universe is reflected.  The handicap of autism is so
severe, however, that autistics can’t express in clear
speech what their bodies know and feel.  Neither could
Jesus Christ, and so He was put to death without mercy
by a culture of articulate warriors.  Soon, out of
dire necessity, the scientific understanding of The
Christ will end war.   Before we can do this, however,
we need to study calculus.
