We are watching the worm turn.  it is unbearable.  Is Trump a Zionist?  Is he a double agent?  I think he is a double agent.  I think he is close enough to the Zionist cabal to not get whacked as long as he plays ball, but he is actually a secret double agent who is working for the white hats and is tanking the Zionist new world order.  Netenyahu got indicted today.  The Zionist War is over.  Battles remain to be fought but nothing can change the tide now.  Pervy Prince Andrew is an idiot and the FBI wants to talk to him.  The Ancient order of Illuminati is being revealed, and they are disgusting idiots.

Christ would forgive them, and heal them.  Maybe they would repent.  Jesus Christ Amen.

I see it happening.  The practical common sense of 'making gardening and meditation the cornerstones of public education' is destined to take the world by storm.  Out of these simple conditions arise enlightened society and sustainable civilization.

I am being prepped to run a dharma kitchen deployment team.  I am actually on staff to manage meditation retreats.  I am the property manager, of sorts.  I don't particularly want to do it but I am learning it because it's my dharma.  And let's face it, if a dharma kitchen actually succeeds in any way in going on tour, then holy smokes that's what I was made for.

I'm a prophet of sorts.  I've worn down belief in my self enough to feel Presence, so when I empty myself I can channel higher dimensional truth.  I do it and i am it and people know it.  Not everyone but some people know it. 
Making gardening and meditation the cornerstones of public education.  I've told Eric, and Captain, and Josh, and Mikayla.  Everybody sees it as the path.  It's really what's happening.  I'm telling people and people are seeing it.  And the spiritual farms and the meditation retreats and the artists are all on board to propagate it online and make the idea go viral. 

The stock market is going to crash soon.  Jan or Feb maybe.  I dunno.  It doesn't matter.  The old paradigm is collapsing.  We are leaving zero-sum economics behind and reaping the dividends of ecological rehabilitation.  We are regaining our harmony.  We are ushering in an age of peace.  

Babylon's fall may scare the ladies, however.  We shall see.

obscenities

My kundalini is awakening.  Its terribly obvious to me, i don't know if anyone else notices anything.  I am blowing up.  It feels so... good.  My lumbar and my sacrum.  Holy Jesus.  The backs of my knees and the soles of my feet and my toes, all connected my meridians or nadis, I mean its incredible.  My calves, my hamstrings and my lateral thighs, moola bandha, uddhiyana bandha, my shoulders, my lats, my elbows and my wrists, my fingers...  its all moola bandha.  It's all kundalini.

The visions I'm having are unreal.   My own true nature.  The cosmos.  Pure consciousness.  Holy smokes Jesus Christ Amen.  Hare Krishna.  I'm serious it's totally insane.  I'm acting out this pathetic human joke life, barely hanging in there and not particularly wanting to, and having these ridiculous spiritual experiences that are dismantling me from the inside out in a manner that I am barely able to manage and feel alright with and integrate.  And of course they are corresponding to physical, structural changes that are the inevitable manifestations of a fundamental shift in energy.  I have been lifting weights and getting so much joy from it, its just isometric vinyasa asana.  The high resistance loads give tremendous feedback to my system, exposing the chronically painful limits of old patterns while exposing opportunities to create a more holistic sense of support and ease.  It is simply fabulous training for my system in this particular circumstance.  It's all yoga.  If I am climbing a ladder at work I am breathing and moving from moola bandha, which is this full-time educational and evolving experience.  And the mind is a rat I tolerate without leaving food out for.

Except sometimes I forget what's going on and I feed the rat.  Oh fuck what a terrible idea that always turns out to be.  Feeding a rat just leads to lots of rats, everybody knows that. 

It's better to not feed the mind.  Don't feed your mind, relatives.  Of course there are times when we look around and realize we've been leaving food out everywhere and the mind is everywhere. 
No big deal.  Just clean it up with the breath.  That's what's up.  Thoughts are everywhere, we are trapped in the toxicity of our thoughts, and our only escape is through the breath.  Mind cannot find peace.  Peace returns to letting go mind.

There is only the present moment.  I am discovering how my present moments have habitually been perceived through a lens of fear.  My unconscious fears have been running my life and i am beginning to be able to see it.  And simply by seeing how my unconscious fears have been running my life, I am able to interrupt the habit pattern as it arises, simply through accepting awareness.  For in the process of being aware of these unconscious fears as they arise to dictate unconscious behavior, I am aware of my total freedom to choose.  And this total freedom is real freedom.  The freedom to choose gives us the possibility of peace, by choosing love.  And so as I come to terms with the ugly reality that I have been living a life of fear, I am instinctively learning to choose love. 

Holy shit.  I just want to let you all know right now that if choosing love turns out the way I think it does, I just want to thank you all and say I'm sorry and I hope you all forgive me because I mean well, I truly do.  I really do love.  I really am love.  It's really my true nature.  Everything else is this bullshit fear-based personality built to keep me safe by keeping me worthless.  It's sickening to realize but also a tremendous relief.  I don't believe in my personality anymore.  It's still around and I have tremendous compassion for it but it's not me anymore.  It's fucking unbelievable.  I really can't believe my good fortune, to see a possibility for a genuine authentic self to emerge from the tragi-comic neuroses of my personality.  What a relief!  To fearlessly be me!  Sweet Jesus.  It's actually available.  I'm actually really blessed to be in this place, it's like being in a video game and having a character to play, as authentically as possible.  And the character is me, someone I'm only vaguely familiar with.  It's certainly not who I was.  It's someone new, and I have to allow him to reveal himself.  Holy shit this is hilarious. 

Who is this character?  He is wise and mysterious and beautiful and tragic and respected and somewhat fearsome and somewhat pathetic.  But there is more.  He is revealing himself.  He is being born to the world.  and as he comes to terms with himself in the world, the world is changing around him.  He is discovering that it is all already manifested and he is merely a vessel channeling consciousness, like water being poured into water.  He is discovering his own magic, and as he discovers his own magic he reveals his magic to the world.

Of course everything and everyone is obscene, including myself.  Myself most of all, I'm sure.  For I am surely the cause of all obscenity.  Surely all the world's obscenity is my responsibility.  It is because of these feelings of responsibility that I am compelled to take action and overcome my own o

bscenity.

How to do so?  Health and healing and yoga and meditation and sobriety and fitness and working and loving and creating and collaborating. 

Ahh whatever.  I'm smoking weed and hiding from you fuckers that's what I'm doing.  Pardon my obscenity.

Find your enthusiasm

What i perceive of my experience is this:
Since time immemorial, a war has been raging.  A war between opposites.  A war between yang and yin.  A war between the sexes.  War between the rational logic of the alphabet and the irrational intuition of the Goddess, War between the divine Language of God and the living, breathing artwork of Mother Nature.  Winners would triumphantly win and losers would pathetically lose, and ages would rise and fall, but nothing lasts forever and the pendulum was forever swinging back and forth in this Eternal War, the War of Opposites: Duality.

And so it goes.

Long ago I chose to deny my own creative life in order to pursue money.  It made sense.  It was the practical thing to do.  It's what my parents did.  I was just following instructions.

I strictly obeyed the alphabet.  I denied myself the pleasures of the Goddess.  I rejected the magical beauty of the world and my own artistically creative contribution to it.  I got a business degree.  Investments and derivatives.  It made me sick.  I had to cross the globe and go deep within myself to find healing and get well.  I'm still healing.  The sickness of materialism is consuming our planet's ecology, destroying our health and cutting our spiritual connection -  to higher dimensions, to God, and to one another.

And materialism is not to blame.  Materialism is just the natural consequence of logical thinking.  Logical thinking comes to the logical conclusion that physical reality itself is the cause of biology, which is then the cause of consciousness and intelligence and self-awareness.  Logical thinking thus comes to the conclusion of a materialistic universe.  A universe made up of matter.

It's not true.  The universe is made up of fields.  And the fields themselves are ultimately made up of pure consciousness.  And no, it's not particularly logical.  The universe isn't logical.  Trouble begins when we use language to describe the universe, because language must be logical to make sense, and so we always end up using logical languages to describe illogical universes.  The map can describe the territory but the map is not equivalent to the territory.  Language can describe reality but these descriptions are approximate.  Language provides valuable descriptions of reality but there is a limit to any truth revealed through mere description.  Beyond that limit, truth can only be revealed through personal experience, and the only true experience we can honestly claim as our own is breath and posture.

We perceive dense fields as though they were matter.  We ourselves are composed of dense fields, which we ourselves perceive as matter.  Matter is congealed energy.  Gross.  But its true.

I can only speak for myself.  I am a nonmaterial being incarnated into a material universe and its totally fucked me up.  I'm being completely serious.  I have lots of friends who are also nonmaterial beings who have also voluntarily chosen to incarnate into this physical dimension, knowing that they would forget their true nature and be at risk of falling into heavy karma due to their forgetting.

And yes, sad to say, it did happen pretty much to all of us.  We fell into total ignorance and suffered terribly under the delusion that we were not spiritual beings, but only material beings.

We are waking up to the truth.  We are spiritual beings having a human experience.  I spent most of my life not knowing that I was a spiritual being.  I am so fucked up over it i cannot bear to look at myself.  But I have no choice.  Being born makes me look at myself, and look at my shadow.  My shadow is my yin, my terrible secret shameful dark yin.  My tender, vulnerable, badly traumatized femininity is really just pathetic unmanliness, right?  A 'real man' is a winner, and as I encountered and integrated my feminine shadow I became a loser.  The victim.  A real man is a monster, so better not to be a real man.  Better to be a victim.  Only now do I see the pattern, and seeing patterns is what makes them dissolve in the solvent of pure awareness.

It had to be this way.  How could I know the Tao without knowing yin?  Do we ever desire real victory without first suffering a sense of defeat?  How great can Greatness really be if it does not have humility?  The greatest civilizations are the ones that take the greatest care of their most vulnerable citizens.  The greatest leaders are the ones who take the greatest care of their most vulnerable followers.  The greatest beings are the ones who take the greatest care of their most vulnerable parts.  To taste the Way we must know both greatness and shame, worthiness and unworthiness.  Only from this place of total depravity and acceptance and forgiveness do we heal and become whole.  Without the experience of darkness the light would be unforgiving in its brightness.  The experience of darkness is what teaches brightness gentleness and compassion.  It is only through forgiving our own hated flaws that we learn to have compassion for the hated flaws of others.  The light is the thoughtless murderer of darkness, and must learn to move slowly, gently, with compassion, forgiving the darkness for being terrified and defensive.  This is all taking place within our own body, as the mind digs into its own physical contents and discovers everything it is ashamed of.

And so as brightness tolerates and accepts darkness, darkness loses its fear and loathing of brightness, and the war becomes a dance, and opposites learn to relate in a healthy way.  And in the body, yang relates to yin as the inbreath relates to the outbreath, and the incredibly bright, analytical thinking mind encounters the shameful, embarrassing behaviors of the instinctive feminine body with its terribly repressed needs and consequent toxic mental neuroses, without judgment and with total unconditional love and acceptance.  We love what we like about ourselves and we train to love what we don't like about ourselves, through forgiveness.  All is forgiven, and thru forgiveness shame transmutes into grace.  True health can only grow out of total forgiveness of the past.

This takes place within the microcosm and the macrocosm, within the body and the society and the civilization.   If it happens anywhere it happens everywhere because the universe is a fractal hologram.  The body is the universe.  In healing myself I am healing the world.  This is the teaching of tantra.

And so my healing journey led me to rebel from the alphabet of logical thinking back to the arms and legs of the Goddess.  But just reaching for her doesn't mean getting her.  She's not easy.  She's ephemeral.  I ignored her for years in my pursuit of the learning of the alphabet, sure that somehow it would lead me to happiness, and She watched me, feeling neglected, and now I want inside the temple and She insists on brutally purging my psyche of its unconscious and unseen insecurities through initiation by fire before I am allowed entry.  The Goddess looks at my shadow and mocks me, forcing me to see what I refuse to look at.  She forces me, and there's nothing to be done about that, nothing at all.  It's called teaching.  Thank you world, Mother Nature, humbling teacher, thank you for these hard lessons 'cause I sure don't learn from the easy ones.

So its funny.  God is ultimate compassion and the Goddess is this pitiless teacher.  Just another perspective; don't send hate mail.  God accepts me just as I am but the Goddess insists I change!  Of course, though - it makes sense.  God is eternal.  The Goddess is change.  That's the whole point of life the universe and everything.  Change.  Change is the purpose of the universe. 

We win the war with a healthy alphabet and a healthy Goddess.  That's the point, people.  On a long enough timeline, loving everybody, forgiving ourselves,  and adoring life itself is simply cost effective.  Recognizing that creative expression is what God made us for reorients our lives.  We are in the world to Find our Enthusiasm.  The voice in our head that keeps us safely in the prison of the same old story starts taking naps, and gaps in the same old story start to appear.  We are all extraterrestrial, nonmaterial beings who have incarnated into physical reality and its fucked us all up.  Our job is to remember the truth of who we are.  We  need to find our enthusiasm and forgive our flaws. The war is inside us.  We are making the longest journey humankind has ever made.  We are making the journey from our heads to our hearts. 

I am dreaming of the best possible reality.  In each moment, I am dreaming of best possible moments.  It's not bad, really.  It's not easy, but it ain't bad.  It changes everything, though.  What needs to be done if i'm already content?  Meditation, really.  Just concentrating more on the joy of what is.  Key word being concentration.  My mind actually does not seem very concentrated.  My mind seems very fluid, maui style.  It's a consequence of going with the flow, clearly.  How ironic.  The best possible moment involved going with the flow with utmost steadiness, naturally.
Enough.  Namaste

in memory of her

10 But yJesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has done a beautiful thing to me.11 For zyou always have the poor with you, but ayou will not always have me. 12 In pouring this ointment on my body, she has done it bto prepare me for burial. 13 Truly, I say to you, wherever cthis gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will also be told din memory of her.”
The Gospel of Matthew Ch. 9


Christ is not out there forgiving the worthy and condemning the unworthy.  Christ forgives the unworthy, and judges the worthy on whether or not they forgive the unworthy.  And it starts in here.

This is the inner journey to the Kingdom of Heaven.  This is what it means to say, 'what you do to the least of these my brethren you do unto me'.  The universe is a fractal pattern, and as above so below, for as within so without.  What you do to the least of me is what you do to me.  How you treat yourself is how you treat everyone else.  

Within the hologram of the cosmos exists consciousness, experiencing life as a human being.  That consciousness exists everywhere throughout the hologram.  Within every frame of reference that measures the hologram's relationship with itself lies consciousness, perceiving itself as though it were a self-referencing hologram.  Which it is.  This is known as the Buddhist Theory of Interdependence, known in the West as General Systems Theory or Chaos Theory.  Its literally how birds of a flock all fly as a single organism, or schools of fish all turn at once, or culture starts believing in the same new ideas all at the same time... 

The Theory of Interdependence states that we are all one consciousness, influencing consciousness itself, nonlocally, and that physical reality then attempts to reflect those changes but is limited by the "speed" of light in terms of how fast it manifests.  So physical reality is always 'catching up' with consciousness, or spiritual reality.  In other words, when you add space-time to what is essentially nondual union, or pure consciousness, (the sat-cit-ananda brahma vidya of the atma jnani)  you get the universe and everything in it.  Consciousness is a priori, followed by space-time and then materiality.  Consciousness itself of course is not limited by the speed of light!  Consciousness is always fully aware of what it is fully aware of, and the only thing that separates anyone's consciousness from anyone else's is ego - the felt sense of separate self.  And as our kundalini awakens, we are no longer slaves of our desire but masters of our desire, and so we lose our ego and gain our sovereignty, and separation from God ceases, and All is One and all manner of thing is One and All is One again, and all is well.  And thus is the Golden Age born again, neither with Bang nor Whimper but with Breath and Posture and nondual wholeness.

The spirit of Christ is the spirit of Bhakti.  This is the gospel of Christ.  Bhakti is the gospel of Christ.  The devotees of Christ are a bhakti cult. The devotees of Christ are a kundalini bhakti cult, literally transmitting the mahashaktipat of kundalini via the Pentecostal Holy Spirit.  I shit you not.  Holy Moly.  Holy mahashakti.

Religion is for people who are afraid of hell,
spirituality is for people who have already been there.
                                                                 - Native American saying


If I'm not chased out of town, then I didn't preach the gospel.
                                                                  - John Wesley

I annihilate my enemies,
by making friends out of them.
                                 Abraham Lincoln

³⁴ “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. ³⁵ For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. ³⁶ And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.
                                                -Matthew Ch.10


The devil and his friend were walking down a city street.  They watched a man in front of them notice something on the sidewalk, and bend over, and hurredly pick it up and rush off.
"What did he find?"  asked the friend.
"A piece of the Truth,"  said the devil.
"That's bad luck for you then," said his friend.
"Not at all," laughed the devil.  "I'm going to have him organize it into a religion."
                                                          -American folk saying


Christianity is for people who are afraid of hell,
Christ is for people who have already been there.
                                                       -Bastante Solipsis Marquez

I grew up on fire with spirit, and the world funneled it all into religion, and took all my love and turned it into fear.
Right?  Do you see how organized religion turns our innate spiritual love into collective fear?  Christ's message was and is unconditional love, but Christianity's message is hatred (of worldly pleasure) and fear (of our own passion for life.)  Christ's message was not about hating the world and renouncing it, nor was Christ's message about fearing our own desires and denying ourselves joy.  Christ's message was about forgiving the world, and forgiving ourselves, and in forgiving finding true freedom from the profane world, and true freedom from our profane selves.  Not through rejection, but total acceptance.  To accept without rejecting, and without falling from our path either. This is being truly free in the world, by being not of the world.  This is unconditional love, wherein we remain rooted within an inner kingdom of grace that no circumstance may intrude upon.  This is the openness of unconditional love that Christ models and Christianity betrays.

The unabashedly liberal, Christian principle of tolerance - tolerance of the Other, in whatever form the Other may take, even to the extreme of loving one's enemies - has been cast aside by conservative hypocrites who have hijacked spirituality's love and funneled it into religion's fear.  As usual, any cultural movement to tolerate the Other brings out the hypocritical conservative's phobias.  Welcome to the era in which Christ was born, which is no different than the 21st century.  History is just repeating itself.  Intolerance is waging a war against tolerance, and tolerance is simply tolerating it.  That's basically what history is the history of.  History is the story of intolerance waging a war against tolerance, which tolerance tolerates.  History ends when intolerance stops waging its endless war, and consumes itself through its lack of self-tolerance, and only tolerance remains.  When only liberal tolerance remains, and conservative intolerance is abandoned, war ends, history ends, and peace begins, her story begins, but that's a different story...

Total acceptance of the shadow, the other, the feared and hated Other, whether it be muslim, or gay, or pagan, or black, or brown, or white, or female, or feminine, or androgynous, or polyamorous, or transgender, or male, or dark, or light, or criminal, or foreign, or stupid, or lustful, or sexy, or threatening, or hateful, or hated, or low-class or high-class, or weak, or strong - it is unknown, for it is Other... whatever "non-self" our fear is being projected on to, whatever our secret desire, whatever we reject or deny in ourselves, whatever we don't like about ourselves or anyone else, whatever our shadow is, if we reject it we create conflict.  Only by making peace with our fears, our shadow, our 'enemy',  do we overcome conflict.  We need healthy boundaries and potential strong action, but we annihilate the possibility of hatred or fear.  Forgiveness is Christ's invincible weapon, and peace is Christ's impenetrable armor.  Christians have gotten so self-righteous hating the armies of darkness they have lost the sacred art of forgiving the armies of darkness - and ironically, hating the armies of darkness only makes them stronger, because it is unloving, while forgiving the armies of darkness removes their power, because it overcomes fear with love.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

We are watching a so-called Christian Nation betraying the values of Christ.  Christian conservatives have a bona fide track record of supporting war criminals and their war crimes.  And this reveals the paradox:  How does a tolerant majority overwhelm an intolerant minority without force?  The answer is revealed all around us:  We kill them with kindness, and as much truth as they can handle. True righteousness must tolerate and forgive the existence of unrighteousness, stepping in out of compassion only to prevent harm and to educate, and become whole by acknowledging relationship with.  Because it's all of us or none of us, and unrighteousness is just a means of ignorantly attempting to fulfill an unmet need.  Surely this behavior is worthy of our compassion.  We must abandon our notions of right and wrong and return to the ancient, nonjudgmental notions of right and left.

 Healthy boundaries, sure.  Definitely; of course; it's critical.  I must forgive, but i must shine the light of the truth through all attempts at concealment.  Healthy boundaries are required to keep the darkness from consuming the light.  Strong action may need to be taken to defend these boundaries.  But these boundaries are defended lovingly, compassionately, with humor and affection.  Because there's nothing to fear - darkness can't cover up light!  There is no place for hatred or animosity.  Only service. This is the Gospel of Christ.

We do not overcome evil by hating evil.  We overcome evil by forgiving its existence, and teaching it a better way without surrendering to it.  Compassionate nonattachment is how we overcome evil.  Making war on evil feeds evil.  Making war on demonic forces feeds the army of demonic forces.  Making peace with negative or demonic forces by forgiving them (without surrendering to them!) is how we force these negative energies to their knees in awe and humble admiration.  It is the technique by which love overcomes fear.  It is the ancient teaching of the invincibility of forgiveness.  It leads to the liberal value of tolerance.  It is the supremely invincible Way.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

Do you see?  A mind full of negativity is a mind full of the shadow.  We must heal our mind by filling it with peace and harmony, and only in such a way as this does light shine into the darkness.  The shadow cannot be banished, and all attempts lead only to war, and the nourishing of the Shadow.   And we cannot banish negativity from our mind, for all attempts fail and only feed negativity!  The solution is to embrace the negativity, and forgive it wholeheartedly for existing, and without catering to the negativity, or feeding it by dwelling on it, to simply go back to the breath and the posture of the present moment, which is pure and whole and utterly complete and self-content... Thus is the shadow healed by being held and forgiven, without being catered to.  The darkness is not annihilated by destroying it, the darkness is annihilated by loving it, and healing it, and bringing it into the light.  The ONLY way to annihilate our enemies is to make them our friends.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

Christ taught that the war is over when we learn to forgive, and Christ taught forgiveness, and peace.
Christianity teaches that the war continues as long as we hate and fear and practice unloving intolerance, and Christianity continues to propagate war.  Christ was a bleeding heart liberal, and Christianity has been appropriated by intolerant conservatives who have judged and condemned all life on earth including their own, because they are not sufficiently practicing the Christlike discipline of forgiveness.  Spirituality has been corrupted into religion, and our innate and pure instinct of forgiveness and selfless love has been corrupted into fear, intolerance, violence, and war.  The world is run by hypocrites, in politics, economics, business, education, and most of all, religion.  Spirituality, which exists as the path of peace, has been perverted into a path of war.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

True victory is victory over conflict itself.  This is real peace.  And victory over conflict itself comes only through forgiveness.  All else is judged as right or wrong, which is how hatred and intolerace are born.  Only through forgiveness can we unconditionally accept ourselves, and unconditionally accept our circumstances.  Without forgiveness we are judged and condemned for having put ourselves in this position in the first place!  Only from unconditional forgiveness may we unconditionally accept ourselves, which is the prerequisite for unconditionally accepting others, and reality as it is.  This is the path of peace.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

And where there is no attack, there is no defence.  A warrior wearing the armor of Christ walks lovingly amongst the armies of the shadow, wielding the invincible weapon of forgiveness, and everywhere the weapon touches, dark and unloving forces fall to the ground and kneel in gratitude.  They are forgiven!  They feel loved!  The warrior of Christ is their Hero for they have been forgiven, and because they have received love they are now free to love!  Thus is light brought to the shadow.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

And where there is no defense, there is no attack.  A warrior wearing the armor of Christ has chosen to forgive him or her self, and from this place of self-forgiveness is born infinite self-love, and the warrior is immortally redeemed.  The warrior is held and moved by infinity itself - what is there to fear?  The warrior of Christ lives in a world beyond judgment, a world of forgiveness where all is made whole again every moment.  Only forgiveness can lead to self-love, which is how our fragile brittleness melts and heals.  Thus are we made invincible.  This is real peace, and the armies of darkness meekly gather quietly in a circle around such a warrior to bathe in the healing light of such peace.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

Hatred itself is the enemy.  The only enemy is hatred itself, and we overcome hatred with the discipline of forgiveness.  Hello, my enemy, old friend, I see you've come to visit me again, come sit by the fire and break bread with me - this is the path of true victory.  And from this place of extraordinarily disciplined forgiveness, problems are seen through all the way into their solutions.  Thus is the world healed.  Thus does light shine into darkness.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

Christianity is forever at war with evil, and thus perpetuates war and violence with it, feeding the very evil it professes to combat.  Christ forgives evil, without becoming evil, and annihilates his enemies by making friends out of them.  This is the path of peace.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

Jesus himself named religious conservatives hypocrites.  His words, not mine.  If Jesus had been conservative, he would have lived.  Read and weep.  If I'm not chased out of town, then I didn't preach the Gospel.

God's love was poisoned into something toxic, something like hatred and fear and loathing and addiction all in one.  Organized religion basically turns spiritual love into fear.  By organizing it, basically.  When spiritual love gets organized into belief systems that are either acceptable or unacceptable, binary and zero-sum categories, then what was once unconditionally loving has now become conditionally loving, and conditionally unloving.  Thus hatred is born.  Religion creates hatred by organizing love into categories of 'us' and 'them', otherwise known as "acceptable"  and "rejectable".

Jesus preached against this religious dogma of intolerance.  In his famous parable of the Good Samaritan, it is made painfully clear that ONE'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE NOT THE CRITERIA BY WHICH SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIP IS MEASURED.  A  spiritual friend is very explicitly not the guy who agrees with your belief system - a spiritual friend is the guy who doesn't give a fuck about your belief system, and genuinely cares about you and yours having enough to eat and a place to sleep.

Go figure.  The most sincere devotees of Christ don't give a rats ass about 'Christianity'.  They just want to make sure everyone has enough to eat and a warm place to sleep.  They want peace on Earth,  and mutual, interdependent prosperity, not some Christian control-freak tyranny.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

Christianity is an organized religion that is basically preaching fear.  Believe, or else be damned!  Jesus was - and is - basically the most tolerant and unconditionally loving and forgiving being ever, and the religion that claims him is basically fear porn.  Christianity is a hypocritical religion, just as all organized religions are hypocritical.  Christ is love, and Christianity is fear. yeah that makes sense.  Believe, or else.

But Christ's message wasn't believe or else.  Christ's message was: Love everyone, serve everyone, forgive everyone, find the kingdom of Heaven within you, and praise God!  Christ encourages us to have ultimate faith in the miracle of unconditional divine love, for it is real, and lack of belief will inhibit its capacity to manifest, and lack of self-worth will inhibit our capacity to receive, so believe in unconditional divine love, and let us make ourselves worthy by forgiving ourselves...  this is the Gospel of Christ.

Religion is for people who are afraid of hell, and ironically, religion puts people in hell, because fear itself is hellish.  And so religion is hypocritical, full of judgment and intolerance while feigning lovingkindness.  And hypocricy is blindness to the truth, right?  And nothing causes suffering like the absence of the truth.

And so it was religion that threw me into hell, which is where my spirituality was able to flourish.
Thanks, I guess.

Jesus talks about it all the time in Scripture.  He calls the Pharisees and the Sadducees "hypocrites" over and over again, pointing out how well these guys talks the talk and how poorly they walk the walk.   These are the religious conservatives who talk the loud religious talk and walk the loud mammon walk.   Talk is so cheap, and actions speak louder than words, and religious hypocrites - i mean religious conservatives - have from time immemorial talked a talk of righteousness and walked a walk of intolerance.  Spirituality is a path that leads to tolerance, and religion is a path that leads to intolerance.  Just look around.

Here, from James Ch 2:

14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them?

15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food.

16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?

17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 

Talk is cheap, relatives, and actions speak louder than words.  Do you see?

Religious conservatives are hypocrites who behave in an intolerant, judgmental, unloving, power-tripping, class-privilege manner.  They're phonies.  Religious phonies.  They murdered Jesus, they persecute hippies and minorities and women and the poor and underprivileged today.  Jesus demanded that his followers forgive their enemies, and Christian conservatives are intolerant warmongers who insist upon going to war with their enemies, whether they be a different religion, a different race, a different species, a different gender, you name it.  Religious conservatives have appropriated spirituality and turned it into religion, and perverted the path of love and peace into a path of intolerance and war.

Don't take my word for it.  Here, take a look at a few choice phrases regarding the establishment's religious conservatives:

Matthew Ch.28:

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.

28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

And here, in Mark Ch.7:

6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me."

 Its time to take back the truth, relatives.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

Right wing religious conservatives are afraid of hell, and because they choose fear, they are in hell.  Religious conservatives hate themselves, isn't it obvious?   You can't be intolerant and self-tolerant at the same time.  These are unloving hypocrites who are not practicing forgiveness in their lives, and so have not forgiven themselves.  And self-forgiveness is what its going to take for religious conservatives to lighten up and love people and all life unconditionally.   This is the Gospel of Christ.

Jesus Christ was a bleeding heart liberal.  Duh.  Christian Conservatives have no leg to stand on, they are hypocritical on their face.  If Jesus had been conservative, he would have lived.  Religious conservatives murdered Jesus because his message was dangerously appealing:  Love really is the answer.  Jesus was the father of all hippies.  Give up your trust in things, and trust divine Grace. Give up your pursuit of mammon, and pursue the face of God.  This is the Gospel of Christ.

All the forces of fear in the world rose up as one to prevent love from coming out on top.  Too late.  The war is over.  Forgiveness is the superior strategy; forgiveness is the ultimate invincible long-term strategy.  Spiritual warfare endures only as long as we insist upon it.  Peace is waiting for us to forgive one another.  Forgiveness ends the war between light and darkness.  Forgiveness allows the light to have compassion for the darkness, and forgiveness is what allows the darkness to receive the light.  The armies of darkness have been forgiven, and loved, and overcome with healing light.  Hatred has been vanquished.  The peace of Christ has descended upon the world.  Love wins.

Blessed are those who do not take offense at me.  For those who have ears to hear, let them hear.  I do not write to abolish the Law but to fulfill the Law. 

This is the Gospel of Christ.

Go and learn what this means:  I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.
