The
Creator of Everything most often spoken of as “God”, 2nd
title or honorific, “Father”, really never worked for me. The
deeper I plunge into the fetid and sometimes glorious waters of my
psyche I discovered that I never really had a Father/Dad but a friend
who I presume by myth and experience and imagining I choose to be my
dad. There are various 'myths' about what happens when die and the
greatest of them regards Jesus = The Resurrection. The second 'myth'
is reincarnation about which I sense both are not only possible but
doable by “God” of course. Jesus was destroyed, at least his body
then, by the ruling authorities – I don't want to break this stream
of thought so won't to give verifiable attribution so LOOK IT UP! I
don't like thinkers who flog theology – especially those who deny
the innate divinity of all mankind especially women.
The
people who flimflammed the crucifixion were Teachers and Lawyers
keepers of the then known or knowable “truth”. It could very well
be that the prophecies describing His ascendancy – please follow me
closely here – were, with good intention, manipulated to excuse
their crime. If I am more Jewish than Christian it is because in a
dream my mouth was branded with the Jerusalem = The City of Peace,
not. Cross I don't have an illustration so I'll describe it: one
large central cross surrounded by four smaller: cardinal points of
the compass; the four principal Gospels and the number four is the
principal symbol of completion – or why Jung was so excited by the
divinity or elevation of The Virgin Mary to the Godhead no longer
three but four . . .
I
have learned that the act of writing, at least for me, is best
exercised by walking away dong menial tasks and returning with a
refreshed point of view. What and why I write is not from my ego but
for us . . .
--Daniel
Webster
"Human
beings will generally exercise power when they can get it, and they
will exercise it most undoubtedly in popular governments under
pretense of public safety."
"Justice,
sir, is the great interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which
holds civilized beings and civilized nations together."
"Let
us never forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most
important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts follow. The
farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization."
.
. . We the people of the world none so grand as those who pretend to
defend our rights are being herded like lemmings to the intentions of
our representatives who kiss our babies and posteriors when they want
to pretend the need us to get elected then kiss the ass of those who
pay for their election/reelection. Thus we are never represented but
actually controlled by a few who steal our lives for their pleasure.
Think dominance and submission to demigods, or, sadist and masochist
. . . think what you must or will this is my sense of the situation
and the cause of the failure of our world economy. My thesis is that
addiction to power is more not enough never enough for the identity
of people who fear staving to death; their ego.
I
am concerned not for myself but you individually. The methodology
works: all are called but few respond and to those who do respond
more is given and in giving away the power of whatever you define
“God” to be most certainly not the ability to do harm. More &
more is given – peace and grace.
I
like goats they're fun to play with but not to give the justice
implicit in Mr. Websters quotes above.
e.g.
We, according to my friend Walt Whitford, a retired biology
professor, receiving, in friendship from former students, information
from employees of the Environmental Protection Agency their being
fired or pink slipped and their laboratories either underfunded or
closed. Add to which according to him we are 3 Billion People and
growing over capacity of the world's ability to sustain.
Do
you enjoy tuna fish? They will soon be fished to extinction in
possibly the next decade, the sea dead in two or three. Add to which
we as a Nation have the most arable land largest supply of potable
water in the world – Russia, China and India given their population
are our next probable problem while our population dwindles theirs
multiplies like cancer. They and Saudi Arabia and Exxon own us due to
our dependence upon petroleum.
I
don't believe God will intervene the extinction of mankind since in
faith God gave us Free Will . . . have a nice life. The only constant
is change to conserve the planet and population must be addressed.
Please pray for us as the family of mankind . . . woman kind.
What
I am concerned about is mass suicide and am not seditious regardless
of the conservative posture of selfishness institutionalized by law.
God is not a predator we are.
To
close: I am nothing: not Christian or Jew or Buddhist or Doaist or
Muslim or whatever ism you follow or idolize. Jesus was a pain in the
sit down and remains a revolutionary. I'm tired of dodging Sports
Utility Vehicles driven by people talking, texting or sexting on
cellular telephones; merely the unconscionable rudeness of the
arrogant and wana-pretend wealthy . . . emblematic of all
institutions who kill more but never enough people. To keep a
sustainable balance for us to live within. Love is not reproduction
but friendship.
--Martin
Luther King Jr., Dr.
"A
man who won't die for something is not fit to live."
"America,
the richest and most powerful nation in the world, can well lead the
way in this revolution of values. There is nothing, except a tragic
death wish, to prevent us from reordering our priorities,"
Happy
15th Maddy with whom I am quite madly in love; sorry girl
I didn't leave you a better world to live in.
