MRA and ISIS

Moral Rearmament may offer an ideological alternative to Yussef al Ayeri's brand of takfiri Salafism that is the theological basis for ISIS' approach. However I am not sure that the raw kind of Moral Rearmament needed still exists. It is not the love in MRA that matters. That we all have I would trust. It is not the honesty. Again, MRA makes a thing of that but then so do many. It is the selflessness, which is a fearless approach. And the purity, which enshrines a rejection of materialism (and indeed purity as advocated by Gandhi would demand the further step of non-violence). And of course there is MRA's distinct form of Sufism. Because in essence MRA was and is a movement for selfless puritan sufism.

Cause and effext

There is no such thing as chaos. Every action has a cause; and for every cause there is a reason.
Wisdom is the perception of the chain of events: Reason - Cause - Action - Reaction.
That chain of events is destiny.
We alter fate when we tamper with the chain of action and reaction.
Only in so much as we tamper with that chain of events do we exercise free will.
Only through the exercise of free will do our lives tip the balance and change the nature of the universe.
Each seminal change has immense consequences, sending out ripples through eternity and profoundly altering the shape of the future.
Chance actions are irrelevant. They fit the pattern and change nothing.
However each and every change as a result of clear decisive action has consequences.
Everyone changes the chain of events, alters the matrix, at some point or other.
For some this happens once or twice in a lifetime; and they may not even notice what they are doing.
For some this happens once or twice in a week; and they may not even notice what they are doing.
It is within your power to alter the shape of eternity daily. It is easy. Perhaps the easiest way is a random act of kindness. Except it would not be random - would it?

Freedom Comes Easy!

1. Care nothing for wealth, power or position. These are irrelevant.
2. Care everything for love.
3. And leave God in charge of your life.

Freedom comes easy!
