Synchronicities & Otherwise

I have gone through over a couple of months of my blogs now, looking for one where I referred to an essay I had written in high school for an English class assignment wherein I disgustedly took my fellow Man to task for having apparently 'settled' for letting war become a part of his very nature.  I wanted to add something to my blog reference, for having today come across a pertinent point, in my late-afternoon reading at a nearby park that I like to go to, for the light, and for taking my shoes and socks off in order to walk barefoot in the grass.1  Not finding it, I have decided to take it 'as a sign,' and accept that there is some good reason why I am not to 'upgrade' that reference, and, rather, 'blog' the point in fresh, now.2

In my essay, I asked the rhetorical question of why Man had become such a beast;3 and the only answer I could think of at the time was the aforementioned one, of his having become so accustomed to it that it had become a part of his nature, as of a conditioned reflex having become chronic.  But my reading today pointed out another, valuable take on the matter: the role of religions.

At the time of my adolescent attempt at making some sense of something that I felt was senseless about Man, I didn't fully appreciate the role of Religion in all this mayhem that we have inflicted on ourselves over the centuries.  As Barbara J. Walker - a confirmed skeptic -  says in a book another female religion researcher, S.M. Murdock (professionally known as Acharya  S.), created out of some of her essays, titled 'Man Made God' (and speaking of the First World War): "The war (WWI) that was going to 'make the world safe for democracy' did not, of course.  The world is less safe because clever men continue to invent mass-murder machines, and less clever men continue to want to use them.  We can understand new technology, but we find it hard to let go of the old ignorance." (And here she comes to the crux of the matter:)  "We still live with the fatal flaw of patriarchal religion: the belief that God will approve of our slaughtering of fellow humans who have, perhaps, the 'wrong' attitude."4

She goes on to extol the ancient Goddess religion that does not delight in bloodshed - and throws the baby of spirituality out with the bathwater of religion and other "improbabilities"and "fantasy systems" and "the unreality of all forms of supernaturalism," like psychics and UFOlogists and such, in trying to bring humanity right down to earth, with a nature-loving religion, not a nature-destroying one.  She rightly deplores the Christian religion's attitude towards "dominion over" rather than kinship with.  But a purely pagan religion is no more satisfactory than a patriarchal religion, based on a warlike male God figure, like the Judeo-Christian religion is; which has given Christians and Jews alike carte blanche to subjugate others to them, at the point even of a spear, or torture instrument.5

A sorry story.  But going back, before the inculcation of male tribal godism, is not our answer, now.

Going forward is.  Resolutely forward.  Into the 'supernatural' arena that skeptics rightly subject to, and ask to be subjected to, rigorous scrutiny.  But not to be as arrogant and exclusive in its application as the religionists have been in the pushing of their favorite barrow.

We have work to do - all, of us.  Together.  Let's get moving on our common cause:

A world at peace with itself.  And based on Truth.  Not culturalism, or fear, any longer.

Love is the key.  It's time to open that door.  And see the beauty therein; just waiting for us to inherit it.

To deserve to inherit it.  By  giving up all those things, those cultural artifacts that keep us in a state - an artificial state; an illusory state - of separation from one another.

We are God.  Are aspects of God.

We are One.  Are aspects of One.  

One Holy Being.  Experiencing Itself through Us.

May We give It a better experience of Itself than We have been giving It heretofore.

1) I have recently read of the value of such activity, in reconnecting us to the Earth, from which we insulate ourselves mercilessly, in our shoes and on our floors and streets and sidewalks.  And I do it also just because it feels good to.


2) I have become a big believer in following such intuitive 'hits'.  If it makes me an anti-scientific kook in your eyes: I'll wear it.  I'm trying to learn to 'go with the flow'.  You live your life the way you want to.  I hereby give you my permission.
     What?  Well; and who asked you to comment on - if only to think it - how I have chosen to live mine???...


3) Even worse than 'the beasts of the field,' for they don't kill simply for sport.  The image of German and British soldiers during WWI, on some battlefield or other, meeting in no-man's land in between the lines and swapping drink and cigarettes on a lucid Christmas Eve, which was a one-in-a-million occasion, is engaged in every evening around the watering hole in the 'wild'.


4) The "patriarchal religion" 'thing' may not, of course, be the whole story behind our sordid history on this planet.  There is also the potential effect on us of such as the Archons - interdimensional beings; like the Grays of UFOlogy - as referred to in the Nag Hammadi scrolls.  But that is, indeed, another story; not specifically germane to my referencing of this matter, of our nature, here.  


5) Both Christians and Jews were involved in the outrage of 9/11, in furtherance of their respective causes: Christians who believe in an Armageddon before their virgin-born god-man comes again - can come again - and so are trying to 'prime the pump' of world affairs; and Jews of the extremist Zionist persuasion who believe that they through their modern nation of israel are divinely (or just 'karmically') ordained to take over the Middle East - between the two rivers, of the Nile and the Euphrates, on their national flag - and their dual-citizen counterparts in this country have been subverting the U.S. for years in its 'foreign affairs' in furtherance of their national cause (whether religious or secular in motivation).
     'Never Again,' some say that they are saying to the world, for the WWII Holocaust (the 6 million figure of which is a canard  Look it up, from even their own sources).  'Now We Get Even,' others say they are saying.  I feel as though the latter is closer to the mark.  How else explain the arrogance of the likes of the Lavon Affair, and the attempted sinking of the U.S.S. Liberty, and the role of Mossad, both overtly and covertly, in 9/11??
     The Truth will out, in this, as in other matters.  And it won't leave the tribal god of the Jews (most probably from the Anunnnaki) standing.  Or rather, more like Ozymandias.
