Watched a archelogical document on public TV couple nights ago.

of only one arm missing from a skelton with many flint tools, dated 1.2 million years

ago, and similar migrations of early man, who walked upright, lived in small

groups, with much evidence of the first people beginning to learn to care for one'

another. Like an elderly man without teeth for over two years before he died,

who had to have been fed by the small community. Amazing what they have

found in past 10 years.

Made me think of how long it's taken for "humankind" to evolve their brains,

to include compassion and respect for others.

Learned not too long ago that for past approx. 5000 years we have lived in an

patriarchal societies for the most part, where women and children were primarily

property and considered by males to be of less humaness, and they more Godlike, kinda like blacks or slaves were considered. And many still consider us, that do not have their 3rd leg to show! Plus those of any gender, still primarily male, who think nothing of hiring people at lowest possible wages, that keeps them in the poor house, and now evidence they are out to destroy and have, a big chunk of our middle classes, partly because of health care cost, after most find they have no decent health ins. when no longer can work, or have a pre-existing condition, most of us will have before retirement.

Praise God we are struggling, evolving, coming out of that, into Equality, or Equal Value, Equal worth, for all people. To value all life.

What I especially learned, also recently from other sources, that helped to put it into better perspective was about the 5000 years approx. before Patriarchy, we had mostly a world wide a Matriarchy, that also lasted at least 5000 years. During which time no weapons of war have been found.

That Matriarchy, or home based religion, only changed as weapons of war were produced and put in the more aggressive by nature male hands, first for defense of the group, tribe, or villiage, but later to subject the weaker, females, and children.

This is why the only message God has kept bringing me back to do for past 40 years is to do, is work towards equality, especially within the Chruch from where God's morality should flow! The balance of male and female rights and responsiblities, to counter balance the males more aggressive, by natural hormonal nature, that has carused us to be in one war after another for these past 5000 years.

Christ being born a male, as the only way to have been a teacher of his day or start a Church to learn about and worship God in. But as God, Christ could be neither male or female, but like God have the qualities of both, to create us in the Image of God.

The Peace of Christ that benefits all, be with you all.
