My 'religion of peace'

I look back into the course of human history
and see hundreds of millions
of people dead,
many more than that suffering,
and many more than that deluded
by this so-called "GOD":
be it the "God of Abraham"
or "Allah".

I look into the present state of humanity
and see hundreds of millions
of people suffering,
many more than that ill,
and many more than that still deluded
by this so-called "GOD":
be it the "God of Abraham"
or "Allah".

I ask what is common through-out all of this?
I see these monotheism businesses
funding [and funded by] various
[dark-ages-derived] empires [and their adherents]
fundamentally destroying the planet [and its inhabitants]
with/through religiously-inspired doctrines.

I ask are these two related?
I see this as two trees:
planted in the source of the matter.

I ask how might one describe these two trees?
I pay mind to the source itself:
- the Genesis account
of 'God' or 'Allah' -
planting two trees:
the tree of life planted eastward
and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil planted westward.

I ask how are these two trees related?
I pay mind to the source itself:
- the Genesis account
of 'God' or 'Allah' -
denoting the eastward tree as the tree of life
which grants one to 'live forever'
and the westward tree as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
which causes one to suffer and die.

I ask how does that relate to peace?
I imagine the source itself:
- the Genesis account
of 'God' or 'Allah' -
wherein Eve was derived
from Adam's own rib
- as like Yang and Yin -
peace in harmony.

I ask what is the difference?
I imagine the source itself:
the Genesis account
of the 'God' or 'Allah'
wherein Cain killed Abel;
the former for offering of the ground and
the latter for offering the first of flock.

I ask how does this all relate to peace?
I contemplate the source itself:
the Genesis account
of the 'God' or 'Allah'
wherein Cain slew Abel for being
of the higher mind
as Cain could not bare
[his own being]
of the lower mind.
The two trees then are
the two components
of any relationship;
as with in the human brain
having two hemispheres
and with two (or three?) eyes.

How does any one see and pay mind to contemplate?
If only the left/westward way, then the lower mind: the material; Cain's choice; the left hemisphere; the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
If only the right/westward way, then the higher mind: the
spiritual; Abel's choice; the right hemisphere; the tree of 'eternal' life.

So:

 if the tree of life
(Abel's choice of right/wrong)
grants 'eternal life'

and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
(Cain's choice of good/evil)
causes human suffering and death

the balance
or imbalance, then,

would be a matter
of one's own choosing:
- to be in -
choosing right and wrong to produce a state of peace, or
choosing good and evil to produce a state suffering.

I ask myself:
what is the solution
for peace?


I myself answer:
the solution is rightly choosing
the higher mind of the 'heavens': eternity of right and wrong,
over the lower mind of the 'earth': suffering of good and evil.

For even it is written that
in the beginning, GOD created both
the 'heavens' and the 'earth'.
