Kevin,

I agree with almost everything you've posted (great job by the way ), but with one exception (unless I've misunderstood some things in your posts)...

A Native American friend of mine helped to clarify something I guess I was a little mis-guided on. I am definitely of the same mind as you, and I, too, felt that 'light will prevail' with this spiritual war we are in (and we are definitely in one).

What my friend explained to me is that NO ONE wins in ANY war or battle, and that would include a spiritual war. That shocked me when he said this, but then what followed made so much sense. He explained that what will happen when all of the dust settles, WILL BE BALANCE. We need harmony, harmony which cannot BE unless there is a balance between good and evil.

What I have learned this past year or so, is that there is good and bad in everything (yin/yang). You cannot have one without the other -- again, makes perfect sense. But we have been living in an Era where there is far more negative than positive, hence, this spiritual war.

There WILL be peace, but there will be that tunnel we must go through before the Light will prevail. There will be dark days/times ahead, to be sure, but in the end, a true balance in all things will prevail.

I trust my friend very much -- he has helped me to understand why I am having the experiences I have had my entire life (with the Star People, as he and his tribe call them). Steve (his name) has taught me that his people are considered Brothers with the Star People (the positive ones). They literally walk with them and have learned much from them over many, many years. What Steve has shared with me regarding this spiritual battle makes so much sense to me - I don't know why I didn't see what he told me before this...
