.I’m reminded of something by the
Heaven’s Gate bunch. Those shedding scorned "containers," so, having *
kool-aid* for their brunch? Eschewing whacked-off testicles, their disgust was
that complete, they'd found their lives
revolting, too, so they whacked
themselves like freaks!
.I understand our
Applewhite had issues with his gayness... He'd imagined he was *
dirty* ... he'd felt
futile,
false, and
heinous? I suspect that he was twisted by his erstwhile *education*, that panoply of warped ideals from parents, schools, and nation.
.But from where is this
disgust —for what is "physical"—
truly from? From where would come, perforce, ideals so... ...I can
only call them dumb! Tell me, please, the provenance of such senselessness as this! Why...
the "Fundy" counselling hatred for the world which "exists"!.Is sex, too complicated, a dark-side
twisted thing? Best a chemical castration or a rubber
de-balling ring? Is sex evil, a beguiler to corrupt immortal souls? Or has it been so twisted by ourselves,
imprudent scolds.
.The irony is: for persons in... ...*
orgasmic's* fleet release?
Your system of immunity improves to its surfeit! Yes! Your body is more able; its defenses, more complete; your health is more
robust, my friend —
you’re lighter on your feet!
.Your *plumbing* gets good exercise, along with one fine *
treat*. Your meat's invigorated; I should say it can’t be beat. Done right, it's
so refreshing; it's far from staid and sundry... ...And tell the truth, after every time,
aren’t ya’ just a
little hungry?
."The earth is foul", and "comes from Satan", our "passion is our curse"? To show respect to
Gaia is the road to hell, or worse? Frogs and bees or water birds are malicious — wanton liars? God's will still provides for us... just for singing in his choirs?
.Well, I've tried, but I can't think so, and I think it's
you beslimed, if you think your God would move an
inch to cover up your crime. Biblical
"dominion" means tyrant and food-waster? No. Not dominion...
stewardship ... earth-
lover,
friend...
care taker!
....See,
why are we revolted by our connection to the animals?
They were here
before us; theirs
are the longer annals! They've lived in nature's harmony, without a
single sin, while we have lived far fewer years —
and we wallow sin, my friend!
.I revel I’m a mammal! It is
joy that I am feeling! It's right that one's an activist for
environmental healing. Whack off my own testicles because it's
them the trouble? Well show me
why, but prove what’s
gained, then blow your nose a
bubble!
.I see the
evil process that's alive in Christian attitudes. I see that it’s dissembling —
disaffected evil beatitude. There’s
disrespect abundant as
tradition in that line — it’s found in wanton, selfish greed, and how they’
ve spoiled our minds.
.We are told from stunted birth, my friend, "
the world’s a deceiver." The Christian right works furiously to make you that *believer*. Yet they're draining all the wetlands that would keep the land from flooding, and when it floods these
dance and
sing... they keep our "trees" from budding!
.Embrace the world as your mother, as she’s the
womb from which you come. She feeds you from her
earthen breasts, yet to hatred you'd succumb. Accept your mad existence must exceed what's been "allowed"! As she perceives it ... your real value?
You daily move your bowels!
.Woe to man or woman who would place
themselves too high. “If it’s my golf game over fishes? Then some fish are going to die!” “If it's bad as you keep
sayin’,
Lehmberg, they’d be
takin’ serious steps!” ...So I ask you softly, "...would they? ...you poor,
naïve —dumb— schlep"?
.Where did it get the Heaven's Gate bunch — those who crapped-out on the rest of us swilling
kool-aid poison punch. It’s not "sex" or the "world" that’s the problem,
at all. It’s disrespect for *Mother*, and it's
this must cause our fall.
.alienview@adelphia.netwww.AlienView.net .Where does our disrespect for the Earth come from? Oh, I know that western civilization has avoided spiritual humility since Aristotle demonstrated his arrogant —and errant
imo— break from Plato. But, wait a minute!
.
What can we possibly hope to gain by ignoring the unsettling if non-verbal communications of this planet!
.
You know... I suspect that, plucked right from our imaginations, we could "uncover" a self-fulfilling prophesy of disaster, lose control of dangerous atomic toys and
un-cage vicious little man-made bugs capable of wiping out a quarter of the world's population virtually overnight... but consider the flip side. eh?
.
The flip side is that
imaginational uplifting and a perceived optimism
can also be plucked, eh? Reach exceeds grasp, so you can feel it even if you can't hold it. Feeling is the provenance of holding. To discount feeling is to discount sense. To discount sense is to discount wisdom and sensibility. No, your dreamer has a spot every bit as key as as the one to realize those dreams.
.
The former more negative plucking? Those are only the wages of disrespect we pay one another; those are the wages of treating your "mother" like a least favorite property; those are the wages of failing to cop to obvious social responsibility. These are the wages for throwing stuff out of your car! They are
just wages.
.
I think this is at the root of the big problem I have with, I apologise, insentient
homocentrics: tedious shallow-drafters, forgive me, who won't think beyond the false promise of their own majesty, reader, as a favorite of a misunderstood and make believe God — a jewel in that God's crown at the minimum, even and oh... ...oh...oh ...
so undeservedly if ironically impressed with his own logic, his own method, his own process, his own measurement, his own mechanism, his own facile and canted faith... ...and himself.
.
Then the fall looms, reader, and all pride fled on ready heels humankind has once again its useful humility found. No,
Applewhite and the Heaven's gate crowd only manifests the disease all humans endure: the cognitive dissonance brought about as a result of the struggle between a culture inflicted on the individual and the
individual's own "felt presence of the moment..." of
needs and very
likely contrary. One in one hundred incarcerated in the U.S. may be an indicator of the preceding.
.
Consider culture is not your friend. It exists only to facilitate and perpetuate itself. See, it might be that "Heaven's Gate" was only a
collateral damage of that facilitated perpetuation.
.
No, we might sneer at naught but ourselves, reader, but pity the miserable and misdirected futility of an Applewhite and crowd, betrayed by the reflex ceremony and the contrived tradition of the society conditioning them and made psychotic by the cognitive dissonance so imposed.
