  • I am a dreamer too :-) Thanks for that.

    It feels always good to know that "I am not the only one". Warm wishes and I will see your other videos.

  • thank you so much..yes, i have been a dreamer all my life..but i feel together this dream can come true..but it would have to take all of us..i dream big huh..lol

  • It would be a beautiful world, I can only hope we can grow to be there someday, great video thanks..

  • I love this song and u make it realy meaning full with this video.

    Yes . . I hope that one day we can..live as one...love and peace to all and we will no longer care about Heaven and Hell anymore.

  • Comment removed

  • Beutiful video! The only thing that sucks, is if the where no borders no religon mankind would still find away to self destruct!

  • not true..we are all one if you really take a chance to really see that..and if we all just treated eachother the way we wanted to be treated, and loved our fellow brother no matter what color of skin, or where they came from, then this world would live in peace.

  • Men would fight over women, women over men, what about the poor? they would'nt steal? As long as there is some type of currancy people will prey on people. Its sad but its are animal nature.

  • you must not have heard the part of the song that spoke of no posession, i think money and greed, and even the owning of women would fall under that catogory..

    it is writen to love the creator above all, and love your nieghbor as you love yourself, and i feel if i can be like this, then others can too..and if all were like this then we would live in peace..it is hard for some to treat others as they would like to be treated, but there are those who find it easy.those who think before they act

  • amen,once you wakk with God theWord who is Jesus is in you.you cant turn back.each one has to look in their on heart.and dont turn back.5 stars ad favorited.i love this song...peace,love,mary

  • This video was great.... I like it very much...

    Well done!!!!!

    Thanks for you send it to me....

    hugs//eakop

  • Thank Micheal, we all need this videoxoxox

  • A wonderful video, and I completely agree! (smile)

    Keep em coming!

  • thank you wiskawind..

  • It's a nice thought, but when I go out into the "real world", it's hard to "imagine" it could ever really happen! The human race just seems to be descending deeper & deeper into madness, degeneracy, and utter self absorption...(with no end in sight, as far as I can see) Those with any kind of "higher ideals" remain a minuscule minority - values and ideals are routinely trampled under the never ending stampede of the largely unenlightened masses. (& our leaders seem to want to keep it that way)

  • (or it could be I just had a bad day??)

  • we are not a minority, we just wait for the time to stand up my friend..and i agree, that the world keeps it this way, it's serves a purpose, that only the creator truly understands..remember it is writen that in the end we will be made to believe in a lie..do you know what that lie is yet? mankind foolishly fool themselves into believing there foolish ways..not remembering who or what they truly are,or where they belong..those who have eyes see that..and they set and wait..til it's time..

  • A preacher came upon a girl playing with a box. He saw there was a litter of newborn kittens inside.

    What kind of kittens are those? he asked.

    Theyre Christian kittens, she said. He left pleased she had Jesus in her thoughts.

    Days later he saw her again.

    How are your Christian kittens doing? he asked.

    Oh, they aren't Christian kittens, they're Pagans, she replied.

    I thought they were Christian kittens? said the preacher.

    Oh, they were. But now their eyes are open!(grin)

  • My dad used to say that the most convincing lie, is one that has a sprinkling of truth in it. (& he was quite an accomplished liar) I sometimes think what passes for "religion" today, is the biggest "lie" of all. There is a grain of truth there, which keeps us hanging on, but then we are convinced to swallow a whole lot of falsehoods, along with that grain of truth. The only way to know truth, is to look into your own heart, & cultivate your own personal relationship with God.

  • i agree..when you walk with god, the word is in you, and the truth flows through you through and through..thats why jesus was hated by the world..for once you know truth, you can not deny it..

  • Yes, once you know the truth, you can't "un-know" it! A problem I've encountered, many times, in my life. It can become a problem, due to the fact that the truth is often "inconvenient", it doesn't necessarily glean you any popularity, and it may not increase your chances of material success! (especially in a world where lies and falsehoods are the order of the day!)

  • lol...yes this is true..what is of the world is of the world..and what is of the creator is of him and those who stand steadfast to truth..sadly, once you discover truth, those who see that your eyes are uncovered,make this world a hell for you..

  • Great work. Thanks for posting

  • Sorry but I don't share the sentiment...

    I'm all for world peace and mutual respect, but I am against a one people one world concept until our creator joins us and not before.

    In this song it says "no religion" and as I interpret it, that means no belief in a spiritual self.

    I have many reasons not to agree, I under stand the intent and agree with that, but I feel it completely misguided and open to corrupted interpretation.

    Youngbloods "get together" is much better.

  • god didnt created religion..man did..religion only created hatred and death in the name of god..i believe in god, just not mans twisted version of him..

    and yes..some could corupt the meaning of it..just as they did god..and i agree and accept your beliefs..i just dont see this song saying what some say it does..it's just a song about dreaming of no hate..and togetherness..at least, that is what it means to me..

    peace

  • you said it yourself, man abused religion.

    But as far as religion, it's based on God and the values our creator hopes to inspire in us. Religion is mans interpretation of that, and as an artist you should have a personal understanding of how subjective that can be.

    As a man as well, your version of religion can be considered twisted in comparison to another man's version.. I don't judge religions, but I see how man has corrupted them (all of them).

    We are both physical and spiritual

  • when jesus walked, he never spoke of making a religion of him..only said to follow his actions..constitine, took it upon himself to change things to suit his empire and control the people. catholicism spintered into many denominations, due to fighting amongst different interpritations of what they thought was truth..the one truth i know is this..god created all of nature, and was pleased enough to rest on the sabbath,we were supose to remember that, and jesus tried to help us remember that..

  • I agree that the truth has been corrupted by man, but enough remained as a guide to develop your self spiritually.

    At present we are on a threshold of evolution. Do we abandon our spiritual self for the material (technology) or do we do both?

    One offers quick reward the other takes time and sacrifice.

    One offers infinite life, the other has an eventual end.

    God is our guide towards positive evolution. If we abandon God our future is limited.

  • i try not use the word evolution, it is another thing that atheists try to push that have not yet been prooven..transending is how i put it..but ya, i agree with you..that the ways of the world is a stumbling block in life..and we spiirtually need to realize what is truth amongst the lies, and transend to the next level..good words..

  • I'm an evolutionist when it comes to religion. I look at it differently but I feel it compliments many beliefs rather than challenging them.

    The 10 commandments are laws set down that insure a groups advance through natural selection, mainly because a group that ignores these laws will fail eventually (self destruct).

    Natural selection itself is a mechanism that insures only good or positive survives, with failure a sign of bad design or behavior.

    More to it, but that serves my position.

  • i disagree with evolution not because of religious view, but because of my own observation of nature..i have seen that animals keep a balance of other spiecies, and they dont end up being the way they are through natural selection, but for the main purpose of equal balance..and the ten comandments are based on two golden rules, love the creator above all, and love thy neighbor as you love yourself, to simply put it, respect all life, and hold it sacred..

  • You disagree because you don't understand how it fits.

    Everything has evolved to fit it's environment and ecosystem, and this includes animal behavior.

    If the environment changes to create imbalance, the creatures evolve to adapt or they go extinct. They learn new behavior or die. The ones that do live and produce offspring that has that knowledge.

  • if that was the case, mankind would be breathing co2, and animals would have evolved to live in cities..yet they only adapted to it, and not changed physically to survive..i disagree because it doesnt fit..and has many holes in the theory..the ecosystem was based on a series of balances, not survival..life easily survives, it is the over running of one species that is dangerous, and that is what life is..the persistence of balance, not evolution

  • to add..when you take one creature out of the balance, a species overpopulates, and that leads to other overpopulation and also a decention of other life..take the over population of deer in yellowstone, when they put the wolf back into yellowstone, deer population dropped, and plantlife returned to its normal status, and life was balanced..no starving of deer, due to less plantlife...now if evolution was real, wouldnt some deer be born to become carnivores, as to restore balance to nature?

  • Continued from below.....

    As we have evolved to have choice (Adam and Eve) so will other specie here at some point, and when they do they will have a spiritual awakening of sorts as we did (my prediction and theory).

    The selection process filters good from evil and instills wisdom in what remains. I describe it as God's mechanism.

    The purpose is that All life will possess wisdom and respect for creation, because only that will insure survival.

  • This is a reply to your 2nd "to add" comment.

    You can't disprove evolution by describing an imbalance and asking why the creatures do not immediately change and you know that... so make your debate realistic please.

    I will say there are cases in nature where reproductive imbalance is restored when it comes to male and female ratios, but that is rare.

    In general evolution occurs over thousands of years. My previous comment better describes how man made change subjects man to selection.

  • many believe that man accended from the animal kingom and evolved,if you will, and now have choices..i dont agree with this, for mans choices are a distinct turning away from what is natural and true..if we would clearly stay in nature and learn of it, we would be better off, and more knowledgable then all our technology rolled in one..technology and our so called intellegence is our weakness and will be our downfall..we have become a cancer in our choices we have made..

  • This is our divide, as I do believe all life began as one and branched, as one by one each specie (including our own) evolves to a point where we become aware spiritually. Then everything changes and evolution takes on different meanings because we have choice.

    But we agree on a creator, we just differ on his purpose in creation.

  • mankind has evolved past it's primal state, and that would be the "Adam & Eve" moment symbolized in the bible story.

    It's what differentiates us from 'animals' but does not remove us from evolution, it means we can now choose our path of evolution, but we are still subject to "selection".

    Man can and has disrupted balance for itself as well as other specie, as we can also correct it if we so desire.

    We control the vehicle, while other specie do not,

  • choosing our path off evolution?, we dont evolve, we have been adapting and changing what is around us..destroying it..you can think or defend it as evolving, but it is not..man has stayed man, name the changes to man that would be considered evolution..for i see none..i have only seen what we have done to nature that has changed, and that is far from evolution..we have only been given the freedom of choice to live in nature or destroy nature..

  • The choice in evolution is do we develop the mind or do we develop technology?

    I say we do both, but one path is fast and easy, the other is slow and difficult.

    That is our current choice, as children now carry calculater and do not do head math, we are distracted by technology and do not involve our minds or think, we ignore nature.

    In a sense we agree, we just percieve it differently.

    I'm feel I'm more pragmatic than you in how i see things

  • how could developing the mind be evolving? thats just using what you already have..the brain is the same, it does not change, or evolve, we just manipulate what is around us so that we can live easier, by domesticating nature..that is just plain ignorence, and i cant see how our brains have evolved just because we have become more advanced in our thinking..we just have tought ourselves more ignorent thoughts, that make us more weak to natural settings..thats regression

  • Our minds have only just begun to evolve,

    This process began when we first recognized a God and began thinking in abstracts.

    Like you an artist, first took up the brush, your mind conceived abstracts and put them to canvas, we perceived God and put to religion.

    From there we began on the path of knowledge, our mental capacity expanded. We expanded both materially and spiritually, it's only our recent technological advance that has made us neglect our spiritual one.

  • actually my mind has understood art since i was a toddler..i have had to teach my body to express that vision, which is the hard thing..i have been drawing since i was three..and sculpting ever since my mother gave me clay..what would i be like if i was tought to draw, or to make art? i am self tought, so i adapted, not evolved my mind..i already had the understanding of art, i just progressed in my skill..

  • Your mind understood art as a toddler probably because art (per say) is in your blood (or genes).

    Some of that a 'gift' but some also most likely passed down from ancestors.

    I've my own gifts, and others their own, and we all owe that to who came before us and to God for having inspired it in us.

    Our new faciantion with technology threatens to discard these gifts as we depend more and more on machines.

    I suggest a blend of the two but I'd rather discard them than discard my mind.

  • lol..good call there..it is said that my father was an artist, yet i have never met him..so in a sense, ansestors is a correct response..i hope to meet him one day..he doesnt know i exist..so it will be hard to find him..so for now, god is the only father i have..and on the part of blending tech and my art..mmm, no..i look back at old art and nothing touches that, i wish to be remembered as a new age old school artist..i have started an emotionism movemnet, and hopes it takes off..

  • Really, I think hatred & death have always been here. & maybe, sometimes, religion has helped to alleviate some of that. After all, where would we be, if no one ever said: "Thou shalt not kill"? But religion has also been hijacked and misused by many people. I do believe there's a Heaven & Hell, but you don't have to die, to see them. You can see them, any time, right here on earth. So it can be a valid concept, just depends how you interpret it. Hope John's in some kind of Heaven now...

  • i understand what you are saying..i just look at the wars that have and still are caused by religious differences, that if there were no religion, just an understanding and respect for a one true creator, that all races share, then maybe, there could be peace..i feel that is what lennon was getting at with this song..it was during the vietnam war, that this song took root..

  • You know thats what I hope for also brother. 5* and favorite for sure. John
