Hi, thank you for this very insightful response.
In one way I was commenting on where I was 35 years ago but I am not in this
space now. I served in Air Force during the cold war, when it was not so
cold, like when we almost went to World War 111 over the Cuban missile
incident. I experienced the feel of going to war with this, as I was
working on B-47 bombers at the time. Most do not realize that we really,
really could have nuked each other over this incident. No one was faking
it, I assure you. So, I was commenting on the feel of life in the Air Force
Barracks, as we went to our bombers. We were not laughing at all. I was
not a christian at the time but just picking up on how the others were
feeling, I guess. But there was a discussion about we were the pure ones
who had custody of the bombs and bombs are fire
and does not god say somewhere in the bible that the world will end in fire,
that fire is the purifying agent.
We really believed that we were doing our job for God and country. No one
questioned at all that if ordered to, we destroy one half of the world.
Understand, we were taught that we would only nuke Russia if they had
already nuked us. That is, we had 20 minutes to get our bombers in the air
before the Russian Nukes take out all American cities. From the bomber
pilots view, in his rear view mirror of the B-52 or B-47 as he departed
America, he would see a dust cloud of the city where his family used to
live, I.e. his family is now nuclear dust and it is his duty to make
Russian Cities into similar nuclear dust.
This was the official American policy, called M.A.D. meaning Mutual Assured
Destruction. If there was a war, there would be no America or Russia
afterwords.
I just looked at it as the fire which cleanes. And it goes without saying,
that we were all dead, because the Russian missiles were coming our way. I
do not believe that there were any drug induced hippies on my S.A.C. bomber
base. After all, one could not trust the nukes with people on drugs. After
all they might not set them off at the right time. Timing is everything in
a war.
But yes, the feeling was that we were doing if for God.
So some do think of God in times of War.

Hello Henry,
Do you really mean this or are you just kidding?
******************** 35 years ago I was not kidding, however, I am kidding
now. I now know that Kundalini is also called *fire* Henry
I was raised with a lot of Christian indoctrination, so one of the first
things I had to deal with after my kundalini awakening, was a better
understanding of 'God'....
I was so afraid to do the wrong things, and that God would punish me.
I certainly knew about a 'pissed' God, but In fact, I did not know much
about love and compassion and certainly not for myself....
It took me years, before I really *understood* that kundalini is 'God' and
it is through the guru I came in contact with, that I am learning what real
love and real friendship is....
The story of Job, has always intriged me. Not because of a 'punishment' or a
'judgement' about the lifestyle of Job.
This story touches my heart, because for me it is the story about our
essence...
I have always wondered, that if I should loose everything, just as what
happened with the Biblical Job, if there would be a power or a faith or a
strength that would still exist.
For me it is a story about dying in the outerworld...a story about the only
thing that is real: our connection with the Divine...it's a story about
transformation...
And yes, I certainly have experienced, that the Divine has an aspect that is
destructive...
But what needs to be destructed are all the things, the believes, the
judgments and the misunderstandings that stand between what I often call
'me' and the Divine. (my essence).
God/dess has been and still is merciless destructive in my life, but never
because of anger, but allways because of true love and great
compassion......
with gratitude to the Divine,
Herma
