True Dharma

Jesus walks into a yoga studio, and they crucify him. "Damn," he thinks to himself, "they ain't even drunk."

Why is everyone so intent on murdering the King? Why do insecure gunslingers always challenge the dedicated pacifist? Men, like dogs, smell fear, and the pacifist is afraid of violence, maybe - his own violence. He is committed to nonviolence, and does not know how to handle energy without engaging in conflict.

Bottom line is, Jesus was a martyr, and he allowed himself to be dominated by the crowd. He didn't show them. He put up no fight, he didn't topple any crowns. He didn't rage with righteous fury. He went under, without a peep.

I don't know if that's the best role model for me - that's all I'm saying. Jesus got pushed around, and I don't want that to happen.

There's something strange here- a man, a great King, gets sacrificed by the people as soon as he is no longer fit to lead - when his dick fails him, or his hair turns white, or he is challenged and does not vanquish. Men live by the sword and die by the sword, it seems. Not democratic men, of course, certainly not the bourgeois. But man, the ancient bloodline, is a competitive animal, and needs, requires, or thrives on the element of testing himself against his companions.

Yet when man yearns for God, ultimately he begins to live with God's compassion, and out of this compassion is a desire to empower others, a desire to serve others, a desire to elevate others, and what others want - or what others seem to want - is to compete and dominate him. Man's mistake is to give others what they want, and to allow himself to be subdued. This is not what they want - what they want is someone or something stronger, realler, and unshakeable. But it only exists after it has been tested, challenged, and found impervious. The court loves the King, and may grieve for him, but will not interfere with the ancient duel. Without the duel there is no King, for without the risk of competition there is no fearlessness, no true dharma. True dharma requires true consequence, and true commitment.

Abraham the Brahmin's son chose to kill his own child, perhaps in an attempt at appeasing his fellow nobles. If the ambition of a King is to preserve his line, any man who eliminates his own line in order to more fully and more selflessly serve his people will be be trusted as a public servant and an egoless leader. It can build a tribe, to sacrifice a future blood king in order to ensure order during a time of chaos. And perhaps it preempts the competition a King must put up with. At any rate, times changed and God didn't need the ante anymore; it was outdated.

There are old stories about the ancient gods - sons killing fathers, fathers killing sons, competition for the harem, competition for dominance. How does authority get transferred from father to son? Obedience leads to docile habits, which does not fair well with the tribe's survival.

The First Noble Truth

suffering is loving God
so angels suffer

while the consequence of sin
is pleasure

pleasure leads to desire
desire leads to craving
craving leads to suffering

loving God is suffering
sin also is suffering

damned if we do
damned if we don't.

the only difference is,
when we sin
we sin alone.

Occupy Babylon

As the occupy movement settles down in the very midst of Babylon, it might be a good idea to remember our foundations:

In the Bible Jesus says that 'no man can have two masters, for he will love the one and despise the other...  No man can serve both God and mammon.' (Mat.6.24) The Bible prints a small asterisk next to the word mammon and at the bottom of the page defines the word as 'money or riches.'

So Jesus tells us explicitly that man cannot serve both God and money, or riches.

So.  Just like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, or Gandhi and Che, the Occupy Wall Street movement is different from Islamic terrorists in their tactics, but not their message.  Both Muslim extremists and American counterculturalists are preaching the same gospel, the gospel of Jesus the Nazarite:  repent of materialistic greed, for Babylon is falling.  The Occupy movement is evolving into a peaceful Jihad on usury. The great proletarian revolution of the 21st century was instigated by muslims, I sure hope posterity ackowledges such a profound fact, God bless em.

postscript:  bear in mind that Islamic banks are morally and legally prohibited from lending out money at interest, which is sometimes called usury and was prohibited by Jesus, his followers, and the early Christian Church.  That weird feeling in your stomach is the new knowledge that when these too-big-to-fail banks collapse like Rome and the currency devalues and hyperinflation sets in the only lenders still in business will pray to Allah five times a day, which is a pretty impressive level of devotion for bankers, if you ask me...

matter empties space

matter empties space

keeping the fire

the firekeepers are peace chiefs, and you should know that from the beginning, although you probably won't find out till later on, if you make it this far.

the usa declared martial law and suspended the Constitution before I was born.  our rights suspended, the first thing our government did was incorporate as a private commercial enterprise and leverage all publicly held assets as collateral against a private loan from the bank of England.  This included its labor force, as represented by our birth certificates.

The Bank didn't want to get paid back - the bank wanted a lien on all assets, including labor as capital.  the bank wanted commercial law to replace common law.

the federal reserve and the thirteenth amendment were creations not of the founding fathers but the banking empire they were rebelling against.

This government isn't illegal.  This government is legally unlawful.

Five more Protestant theses

this is what i see:

a United Methodist Debtor's Union upholding five principles:

1 - universal forgiveness of debts as per the Lord's Prayer

2 - Christian willingness, as per Matthew 17, to explore Buddhist science

3 - Christian willingness, as per Paramhansa Yogananda, to explore yogic science

4 - Christian acknowledgement of Ras Tafari as the crowned heir of David

5 - Christian acknowledgement of the sanctity of Mother Earth and her need for sacred stewardship
