?The first cities of the Americas were spaces marked out for
the ample expansion of celebration, joy, worship, play, praise!
In the space of celebration built by the people themselves and
for themselves, they came together in joy, in beauty, and each
recognized the other as a fellow creator of the common
celebration. Their city came alive! The streets of those cities
were not streets in which they watched somebody else going
someplace else where all the joy was hidden behind expansive
walls. The streets were places where everyone sang together,
converging upon the central dance which was the life and
identity of the city...
Obviously there was something radically different about the way
those cities were planned. The streets led to open spaces that
were free for everybody, not to closed buildings reserved for
the few. Those early cities knew what to do with space. And what
they did with space made human life joyous, real, fully
credible. The Bible tells us that in the end it will be like
that again, in a city of pure celebration?? (4)
Hip hip HOORAY! For the Bible. This is the book the Franciscans
were shoving down the throats of the natives while they burned
their libraries and owners alongside them. We dealt with that
aspect of the 'Invasion of Paradise' in 'CtIC' but think about
it! Here you would think the church of Thomas Merton is really
supportive and enabling kind people in search of beauty and the
respect of the Mayan people. It surely is beyond just the word
-'HYPOCRITE!' The Mayans left these cities and hid in the
jungle. Their luscious and playful nature that so respects
everything was centered in marvelous structures built on the
earth energy grid in ways we are only now beginning to intuit -
but still they left them! Rather than have their mothers and
daughters suffer the indignity and rape of the Spanish heathens!
Perhaps he is just na?ve or following some researches that
mislead him you might say. The fact is he wrote a whole book on
them. He displays an incredible belief of the paradigm that
foists the opposite behaviour upon the people of earth - even if
he is just na?ve. Listen or contemplate these words from later
in this same book as he talks about 'tribal cults':
"Spiritual rebirth
{Read 'Resurrection' and 'Salvation' fictions, not the true
rebirth that Jesus and the Gnostics seek.} is the key to the
aspirations of all the higher religions. By 'higher religions' I
mean those which like Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Islam and
Christianity, are not content with the ritual tribal cults
rooted in the cycle of the seasons and harvests.? (5)
That is clearly not what 'pagan' or the Mayan religion was all
about. The Christians took over those same celebrations like
Yule and changed the names. What is going on here is revolting!
Demeaning and ridicule as well as destruction of the libraries
and culture aren't enough. They even have had the audacity to
create 'blasphemy laws' which aren't even off the books
everywhere as yet (It took until 1951 for the British to remove
them, no doubt thinking they had everyone duped or doped up on
fictions such as Britannica feeds our kids.).
The churchians take advantage of any possible situation like
claiming to have rid Ireland of snakes. They revive old
knowledge and put their face and mark upon it with impunity.
They are thieves and worse! The inside flap of Jesus Through
the Centuries says it a little more conservatively as it
documents the changing perceptions of how to sell society on
stupid attitudes through putting a new 'spin' on Jesus. How they
do this is a masterstroke of genius and demonstrates there is
one area where man has certainly achieved a 'god-guided'
evolution towards a zenith of cultural reality ~ lying!
"Jesus of Nazareth has been the dominant figure in the history
of Western culture for almost twenty centuries. Each age has
created Jesus in its own image, finding its own thoughts in
Jesus, and discovering in his life and teachings the answers to
fundamental questions of human existence and destiny? Studying
the images of Jesus cherished by successive ages-from rabbi in
the first century to universal man in the Renaissance to
liberator in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries-Pelikan
suggests that the way a particular age depicted Jesus is an
essential key to understanding that age... What happened to the
political fabric of the Roman empire when Caesar decided that
Jesus was to be called King of kings? How do we explain the
irony that a tradition which began with the prohibition of
sacred images went on to produce the greatest explosion of
religious art in human history? How did the vision of Jesus
Christ as the disclosure of the rational structure of the
universe contribute to the rise of science? How could the
Crusades, both medieval and modern, invoke the name of the
Prince of Peace?? (6)
Of course I would respectfully ask - 'How did they have the
gall to remove women from a position of ecclesiastical import in
the church?, and a lot of other questions as well? Am I raving
mad? Does it not seem that sick and perverted MEN have been
having their way with the people of this world? It is a disease
of immense proportions and leads to all sorts of heinous acts
like genital disfigurement {with broken glass if necessary}. And
all the native people who showed respect for women had to be
dealt with in an expeditious manner starting with calling them
'heathens'. God should be damned if this church has anything to
do with his work and energy - but it doesn't!
This is simply the work of misogynists and power-mongers. Paul
was one of the major culprits and we shall delve deeper into the
history of this major con artist. The lack of planning families
and breeding more problems such as poverty and over-population
aren't even as bad as keeping 'women barefoot and pregnant in
the kitchen' (though in large parts of the world there is no
kitchen). Nature suffers mightily and the collective soul of all
life is wounded, but Americans sit at home tacitly supporting
and allowing this insensitive carnage to continue. Who can sleep
easily knowing their tax dollars are used to keep things the way
they are? It isn't enough to say you didn't know or don't know
for sure. It isn't RIGHT to say 'What can one man do?' If you
don't know it you are probably close friends with a deviate who
does things you wouldn't think possible to his children or wife.
In China there is population control. Kill the females! In many
cultures the male offspring are the only ones who get any
respect and recently a man killed his wife in front of his two
daughters with a knife. This was in Mississauga just outside of
Toronto, and she bled to death slowly because she couldn't bear
him a son. Just remember King Henry the Eighth (that syphilis
ridden 'Divine' creature) who started a new branch of Roman
Catholicism. This Mississauga man is affected by the religion of
Islam but it could just as easily been some other religion
Merton called 'higher'. They are pouring acid on young women's
faces in India and the authorities don't prosecute the 'perps'.
How can we just sit back and talk about our 'perfect fantasy'?
How can we listen to evangelizers and priests who are constantly
found to be the 'perps' of sexual crime? In Rome there was a
time when stealing money from the public coffers led to the
official being put in a bag with a wild animal and having his
nose cut off. Then they would take him to the river and throw
him into it. They were having lots of 'fun' with slaves and
women in their bath houses that couldn't possibly cleanse their
souls.
Man was jealous that women could commune with God easier than
they could. Man was jealous that women have a better sense of
what is right and MAN was small enough to be so stupid as to
engage in a war against the very salvation that the soul of a
good and equal woman can bring to a miserable person without
compassion. There is a judge in British Columbia who lectured a
three year old girl for being 'promiscuous and sexy' in her
appearance during her rape case. Incest and rape is often an
accepted thing in some cultures and the statistics in North
America are of epidemic proportions according to C. Everett Koop
the one-time Surgeon-General. Children are still thought to be
inventing stories when they tell the truth.
My second wife's story and that of her grandmother made two
thirds of her university class on communications cry out loud or
leave the room. I am a victim of what happened to her and what
happens to women throughout the whole world. This is not some
literary license or authors trick. Yes, it is a sad thing to
know the terror that caused her to grind her teeth in her sleep
when I met her. She was unable to lubricate herself, after
having been raped from the age of six to sixteen by an important
top dog executive who was her step-grandfather. Her mother
didn't believe her. When she ran away at thirteen a Tennessee
State Trooper... I tell the story in other books and the images
haunt me still. I will say no more because of the pain in my
soul! Another of the Dag or Nag Hammadi scrolls is the Sophia
of Jesus which tells the reader about each person?s feminine
nature.
People who turn away when they see parents beating their kids
in grocery stores and 'public places? are becoming fewer. Oprah
has done great work in raising our public awareness about incest
but the statistics aren't even gathered to really know whether
it is 30% or 70% who suffer sexual abuse and violence. That is
the range that my 'expert' 'TWIN' who was born the same day as
me and was a Doctor of Psychology said was the case. Koop said
it was over 20%. Any such figure is horrific. The understanding
of sexual issues in the part of society that doesn't have the
extreme problems, is even more of a concern. It isn't taught in
school and there is no political will to address the issue. Like
many of our problems the right questions aren't even being
asked.
To do a real analysis of more than just a superficial nature
takes time and effort. People like to quote the 'expert' who
says what they want to hear in order to sleep comfortably and so
they won't have to find out the truth they suspect might be
real. Politicians serve these people well. They talk a lot about
problems but don't expose the reality they are part and parcel
of: in their own 'conflict of interest' cronyistic environment
that includes drug companies pushing Ritalin to make up for poor
teaching and a lack of academic freedom. How many of these
problems should we endure? Would a government based on the
ideals of the Great Earth Mother and inclusive of women as full
participants put up with the 'status quo'? I could go on about
the illness that the Sphinx stands as a beacon in the desert to
warn humanity about, but we must get back to the 'his'-story we
are committed to cover in this book.
