Imagine

January 4, 2011 — Jihad Saad

Imagine you can write the story of your life the way you like.
Imagine there are no limitations. That you are free to choose to be anything you want. Anything you ever wish.
Imagine you can take a pen right now, and inscribe in your heart whichever life story you choose for yourself.
You just write. And so it will be.
Just imagine.

What story would you write?

Would you wander between rivers and mountains?

Would you visit the cities and temples?

Would you own palaces and jewelry? Would you have elephants dressed up with silk to carry you around?

Would you fight if there were wars in your country?

Really, what life would you choose? Which story would you write?

As for me, I am holding my pen right now, and I start writing.
My heart is like a blank sheet of paper waiting for my beautiful story to be written.
I write with beautiful caligraphy.
The page is ornamented with beautiful motifs.
And as I write, the stories and the pictures and the images take life.
In vivid motions.
In full colors.

And I write.

I am on a magic carpet. It is sown with the threads of Faith, Love, Redemption, and Peace. It flies anywhere I wish. It doesn’t even wait for my direction. It just listens to my heart. And it goes in whichever direction my heart goes.

I am dancing. I dance everywhere. I love dancing. Music accompanies my life. It is beating in my heart. It is playing everywhere I go. And it’s beautiful. And I dance like a Bollywood star.

I am in Love. My most beautiful woman is with me. She is funny. She is loving. She is smart. She is caring. She is wise. She is in peace. She is just my most beautiful. And we dance together. And on the carpet, here we ride.

And we fly.
We meditate with the Buddhas.
We pray with our Prophets.
We whirl with the Derwishes.
We jump with the Shaolin Masters.
We flow with the Yogis.

And we love
We love the world. We love our families. We love our beloved.
We love the children. We love the old. We love God who created us.
We simply, love.

And we sing.
We sing the music that awakens the death.
We sing the music that heals the hearts.
We sing the music that redeems the soul.

For the happy children, we sing.
For the wounded men, we sing.
For the deperate and the poor, we sing.
For the loving and the caring, we sing.
For everyone, we sing.
We sing different melodies. Different tunes.
We sing in different languages. In different voices.
But our song is always One.

We fight.
We fight for the light.
We fight for the truth.
We fight for God who gave us the pen to write our own story.
We fight with our Love.
And our weapon is invincible.

And we win.
Peace and love pervades the world.
Songs of freedom are sang.
Redemption is earned.
Harmony reigns.
Hearts heal.
Tears of joy flow.
Man is reunited with God.
The world is resurrected in love.

And then we leave.
In love and gratitude, we leave.
We go back to where we came from.
We reunite with the Beloved.
And it’s eternal Peace.

…

Beautiful story, isn’t it?

But why not? Didn’t I tell you to imagine we are given the pen, and the freedom to write any story we like without any limitation?

We must honor this marvelous gift.

And since we’re writing anyway, then why not write the most beautiful story ever!

🙂

Politics in the New World

September 2, 2010 — Jihad Saad

In year 2064, an election took place on Earth to elect the deputies of the United Earth Parliament. It is the beginning of a period in History the humans call the New World, which followed the period of the great Shift, or Resurrection.

The following text is taken from the political campaign of the New Earth Party, which ran and won in the election of year 2064.

“We in the New Earth Party observe a severe problem facing humanity right now. Though in the last years after the Shift, we have witnessed the peace and harmony spread among humans, and the borders of nations dissolve, we unfortunately cannot close our eyes anymore on the continuous problems of mistrust and violence that prevail between humans and some animal species.

This problem dates back to the dark ages of our consciousness, when we used to perceive some animals as a threat to us. In these times we did not realise that the danger was manifested from our own fear and from the projections of our fear. The result of our old consciousness has been endless wars between our specie, and several other animal species, especially snakes, wolves, tigers, and mosquitoes. These old conflicts between humans and these animal species have created an atmosphere of mistrust that perpetuates itself to our day. We can witness this in the continuous accidents that strike our villages and communities. Only last month, one child in the village of Zuku in Africa was attacked by a tiger. In Sumatera we all heard the devastating news of a man being bitten by a snake as he was harvesting the land. Our best men and women are still continuously bitten by mosquitoes even when they are peacefully lying down in the tropics. At the same time, relations between human and wolves have also deteriorated severely in the last years, with night accidents multiplying themselves in several areas of the world.

We in the New Earth Party believe that the time has come to put an end to this suffering. How many more mosquito itches should we suffer from? How many more times we will go to the jungles with fear in our hearts? How many more times we will see snakes with the eyes of panic and terror? It is time that we humans restore peace with the other animal species. We in the Earth Party believe that Peace cannot be conditional, or reserved to only human-human relations. Peace must be unconditional, and must be felt under all circumstances. We refuse that our children feel afraid from tigers or wolves or that snakes attack us in the fields and poison us.

People of the world, it is time we claim complete Peace into our lives and our world.

For this, we are happy to present ourselves to the upcoming election of the United Earth Parliament. With your support, we promise you to work relentlessly for our objectives. We promise to direct all our resources to solve this urgent issue, and to mobilise our highest spiritual capabilities. We will call upon the most enlightened among us to help us pave the way to negotiate with the animals using the Energy-Intention language. We believe that if enough of us direct our attention to this noble cause, we can open again the door of trust between us and the animal species. We will advocate for training thousands of enlightened ambassadors from the whole world to learn the Energy-Intention languages of the animals. We will send them to jungles and forests to spread the message of our intention for peace and harmony with the animals.

We know that the conservatives are still calling for the use of force against animals, still advocating the use of superior technology to deter them, and the use of chemicals to poison and neutralise the mosquitoes. But these methods will only increase the mistrust between humans and animals, and will never bring us lasting peace in the long run. We have to learn from our history. We cannot use old methodologies that are inherited from our old consciousness to deal with this challenge. It is time to put an end to these wars and to reach out to the animals.

Once trust is restored, snakes will understand that we wish them no harm, and that we will allow them to be, and they will not threaten us anymore. Tigers and wolves will also understand that we are not afraid from them, that we love them for what they are, and that at the same time we do not wish to be eaten by them. We will stop our war against mosquitoes and stop massacring them with our chemicals. This habit of killing them mercilessly is incompatible with our new consciousness. We are confident that as a result, mosquitoes and bugs will stop bothering us.

It is of paramount importance that we act towards these animals with sincere intentions and compassion. We need to purify our hearts from hatred towards them, and practice complete acceptance and forgiveness. We in New Earth Party fully believe that the animals will sense our honesty and love, and will cooperate to bring about a lasting era of peace.

Think about the new generation of humans who will grow free from fear, in total peace with all of the earth animal kingdom. Think about our children who will enoy their time in the tropics without suffering from mosquito itches. Think about the games we could play with the tigers in the jungles, and the fun we can have doing acrobatic movements with snakes. Isn’t this a dream worth fighting for?

We acknowledge that the road ahead might be challenging. We will have to face some inherited patterns of behaviour and believes, inherited mistrusts and fears. We might even incur some casualties; endure some more bites or some inevitable clashes. Yet we are confident that Peace will be achieved, and that if we start now, we will pave the way to the new generation of humans and animals to be born in a new world of complete peace and harmony.

People of the Earth, we ask for your vote in the upcoming election, so that we can carry forward our ambitious plan. Humans, animals, snakes, insects, we are all the creation and manifestation of the One God, and we are bound eternally to live together in One Love.

Vote for the New Earth Party!

Thank you everyone. God bless you all, and God bless Peace on Earth. ”

and the Dream comes true

January 20, 2009 — Jihad Saad

On 28 August 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. stood in front of Lincloln Memorial in Washington, and shared his dream.

I have a dream, he said, that one day this nation will Rise Up to live out the true meaning of its creed.

I have a dream, he declared, that one day, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream, he shared, that one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

Let freedom ring, he cried, from every state and every city, from every hill and every moutainside.

And when we let freedom ring, he promised, all men will be united to sing:

“Free at last, free at last, thank God Almighty, we are free at last”

…

On 28 August 2008, on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr. visionary speech, Barack Obama stood in Denver, in the Democratic Covention, and accepted his nomination as the democratic candidate for the president of USA.

In that historic day, in front of 80,000 people gathered from all over the state, and tens of millions following from across the US and the world, Obama announced: Enough! And he remembered the young preacher from Georgia, who stood before the Loncoln’s Memorial in Wahshington the same day 45 years ago, and spoke of his dream.

He remembered how the young preacher reminded us all that our destiny is inextricably linked, that together our dream can be one, that we cannot walk alone, and that as we walk, we must not turn back, and must make the the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

And Barack promissed, from Denver: No we won’t turn back, no we won’t walk alone, and we pledge once more, to march into the future.

…

On 19 January 2009, in the federal holiday commemorating the birth of Martin Luther King, hundreds of thousands are gathering in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, to celebrate the King Day, and the King Dream.

And today, 20 January 2009, in front of millions and millions watching from across the four corners of the globe, from the Washington Capitol, overlooking the Lincoln Memorial, swearing on the Lincoln Bible, Obama will be sworn in as the President of the United States of America.

And the Dream comes true.

…

What a beautiful story.

Let’s go back to 1963, and get a glimpse of Martin Luter King speech, “I have a dream”.
