Brothers of Peace
“I look and see into my brothers,
their eyes speak spirits of their intent.”
“I grapple with thee for untold reasons,
I wrestle with thee since Adam.”
Give of your heart to the call of your brothers.
Turn away from your work, your wife, your family
and listen once only for a moment.
Each man knows the blessing of his Brother.
Each man knows the bond of his Blood.
Each man considers the history of their Family.
Each man bares witness to these matters.
One man holds arms with his brother whom he loves.
Another man holds weapons against his own.
One man rebukes his brother for gain.
Another man offers food from his table.
Our world has clouded us in this that we know.
Yet to each we give pause to our Family.
Set against this massive realm,
undisclosed has our truth become.
So seek into your own heart,
and listen to the words of your soul.
Let us give rest to the question of brotherhood.
For every man knows in truth his real brothers.
Every man knows he who claims it so, but is not.
Since Cain there has been given our knowledge.
That he who from another spirit did Murder his Brother.
In our soul is the wisdom,
that he who does our Father’s will,
is our brother.
Was Adam pleased with the work of Cain?
Was Eve given to blessings because of him?
Did they not mourn at the loss of Abel?
Did they not seek justice for the death of their son?
And so it is also, that now is no different.
There is a Father of Love,
and there is a Father of Hatred.
Those who are given to hatred,
are brothers in hatred and in death.
Those who are given to Love,
are brothers in love and in Life.
He who does not love his brother,
does not love his brothers Father.
And he who loves his brother,
also loves his brothers Father.
If our Father is a wicked Master,
then our works and our words will also be death.
If our Father is a Master of Kindness,
then our works and our words will be likewise.
All who live, serve their Father by their works.
And when we see the works of fear and selfishness and hatred,
we see the works of their Father.
And when we see the works of kindness, peace, and liberty,
we see the loving works of their Father.
Those who are given to Hatred,
will hate those who are given to Love.
Yet they also will hate those who are given to hate,
and they also will hate themselves and their father.
Those who are given to love,
will love those who are given to love.
Yet they will also love those who are given to hate,
as they love themselves.
Because Hatred produces hatred,
and must therefore follow its course.
But Love produces Love,
and it cannot be divided by hatred,
and still be love.
Just as hatred cannot be divided by Love,
and still be Hatred.
My Father is the Father of Love,
and all my brothers follow the Will of my Father.
When therefore we see a brother who is given to Hatred,
those who love need remember their Father.
See with your eyes your brother that has Fallen.
Feel with your heart the agony of his life.
Offer your hand to give him love.
If he refuses your Father’s will, then go your way.
It is no difficult task to descern the works of Love and Hate.
It is no great mountain we must climb to fathom it.
We all know that Love makes an errand Open and in the Light.
We all know that Hatred wishes to conceal a matter.
It is that my Brother rises up,
and I shout LOOK at the works of our Father in him!
And it is when my Brother Falls,
that I go to him and offer my hand.
Each man has both life and death in him.
But the spark of their Father will guide them.
He who desires Life, will seek it and Listen to Life.
He who desires Death, will seek it and Listen to Death.
The will of our Father’s rest in our Hearts.
From our Hearts does all our deeds come forth.
As a tree, we too bare the fruits of our Hearts.
As a Meadow do we dry up, or flourish.
They who have fallen into Hatred,
may find the end of their path,
and wish to turn from Death when it is known to them.
It is therefore the work of the Father of Life,
that we who live in life
offer our Brother passage to his Rightful Home in Life.
But if he is desiring Hatred even after the offering of Life,
then let him be and walk in his ways.
It is by Life and Death itself that he shall see his own works.
It is by life and death itself that we shall also see ours.
Always though stand at the ready to help your Fallen.
Only our Father knows the true time,
when one brother may wish to return home.
These matters our Father will Judge,
just as the Father of Hate judges all things with Hatred,
so will my Father judge all things with Love.
We need not war against our brothers.
For know that in life, there is life eternal.
and in Death there is Death eternal.
Those who pursue and hate you will perish,
and you who do love, will know love forever.
Cain asked; “Am I my brother’s Keeper?”
It has been my life, that I have known men
of all walks, all works, and all deeds.
Many filled with Death, hold a spark of Life.
Many filled with life, hold an ash of death.
It is where I see my Father in them,
That I embrace and speak to my brother,
so that we may be a Family in Joy, Blessing and Liberty.
Let us not judge our brothers,
but instead see the fruit of their works.
Let us then find our Father in them,
and speak to that Spirit.
In the offering of Life,
we just may Gain another Brother.
In the condemnation of judgement and hatred,
we have surely Lost him and ourselves.
Brother’s are mentioned
362 times in the King James Version of the Bible.
728 times in the New International Version.
