Unintended Consequences

Thoughts upon seeing and hearing a prominently-placed Texas woman crow about bible study in a public national forum:

Because I know they weren’t “studying” beatitudes. Nor were they studying the mystical parts of the Gospel of John (preferring, those people, the prevalent anti-semitic more enticing parts instead). Nor the meditative, yogic, experiential underpinnings, deep-structured underlying paradigm of the missives of Saint Paul (preferring, those people, the harsh, unyielding, political discourse and doctrine of empire and misogyny that the missives anon became ghost-written instead). Because such diligent performative “study” wounds, indeed intends to wound, the heart and pierces the body in multiple places attempting to alter the soul.

Because I know that nothing of their doctrinal intent can touch the soul – I am joyful where I should be demoralized in their systemic well-rehearsed attempt to break me in order to build me back up, morph my soul, transition my very identity with their bargains and ransoms, “improving” and “saving” me with their lifestyle. They take such parasitical cosmic ecstasy in recruiting to their strength-in-numbers lifestyle.

My soul is spiritual cosmic and eternal. I am awakened to this experience of truth. Hence I am filled with joy instead. I am sorry I am joyful thus to negate their intended meaning. But I’m not sorry. I am truly joyful.

Be awoke!

How willful do you want to be?

How trusting can you learn to be?

These are the two basic eternal questions.  Spiritual evolution brings us through crucible after crucible in all karmic predicament after karmic predicament to the correct answers:  a) zero, nil, not at all and b) 100%, all, completely.

The journey is indescribably long and consists of a series of eternal moments of now.  But awakened awareness can indeed hasten significantly the inevitable change.  All are on the journey to the same destination and it is not a race.

Still, we all must be!  So be awoke!

Divine Purpose

Accept all that happens to you with gratitude and trust in everything that “happens to you”. For it has divine purpose. Everything previously thought of as “good” or “bad” especially to exceeding degrees is actually a blessing in divine purpose.

This, I know, is extremely counterintuitive to the degree of appearing asinine, and I can almost visualize the concrete real-world counter-examples piling up in the store of your mind.

Except this: in the long-haul of a single lifetime, consider all the “bad” things in your life that have contained a hidden blessing that you have come to be grateful for. It isn’t always hard to imagine. Some might even agree. Blessings are oft disguised in the mask of the stranger. Stranger things have happened. Yet, over the course of the long-haul of a million lifetimes there is no question: everything is divine. Absolutely everything has a purpose with divinity and blessing part and parcel with that purpose. So trust everything that happens, I say. Be grateful for it all.

Gratitude begets joy and joy begets more easily identifiable blessing, believe it or not. (Or else don’t believe me).

And the only other thing we need do besides trusting everything is this: love everybody regardless of all the conditioned conditions we have been so thoroughly conditioned to make conditional.

Fact of the matter

The fact is that no woman needs a man in any of the ways in which a chauvinist might think, believe, or “know”.

Accepting this fact is the key to enacting change for better.

Assuming the opposite (chauvinism) is the root of all problems between women and men. (And in society, in a larger sense).

Clown Time is Over

I don’t know how the clown car came to drive down this street. But it’s a dead-end and there are zero gears of reverse.

The hope is that one day the realization will come that ‘this is not real’ and we won’t be on a dead-end street and no one will be attempting to operate a clown vehicle.
