As Autumn rehearses Winter, arriving next week in calendar time, minds around the world, or most of it anyway, turn to Christmas, ostensibly celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ the Prophet of the Christian folk of many branches and magical beliefs. Language leads us to a trap of inferring the Christ was Christian, but obviously that's nonsense. In that time and place he would have been a Jew, though heretical. Freshening up ancient teachings with new insights. Christ Consciousness has a different sense, beyond the stories of a creator God fit for the Patriarchy of the era, therefore male ... like the Jewish one, only more peaceful ...
If you want a brutal heresy to puncture your illusions, try the one allowed by Zen:
If you see the Buddha on the road, kill him!
This is deep and compassionate though not all Buddhists accept it. Christian clerics, of my acquaintance are quite happy to say the same for Jesus the Christ. It's all metaphor after all ... the word is not the thing described as repeated here many times.
Now, a poem for you dear reader(s), shared yesterday on FB, a platform currently connecting the whole world, very powerful and addictive in its mission to serve its shareholders through data mining, aggregating and selling ... not necessarily evil except in the metaphorical sense of living Life backwards, worshipping money, the root of all evil and so on ...
"I had a dream
I fell asleep a year ago
And only just woke up
Now I am wondering
If someone can explain to me:
What's a tier and what's a cluster?
What's a bubble and a Law of 6?
Someone said it was illegal
To see my children at Christmas!
Imagine that!
I saw them often enough in the dream
Never mind, back to sleep
Create another dream perhaps
Where authorities serve the people
And Love prevails again"
It doesn't do to undo what comes in whole, but please allow a little interpretation, given the recent topics exercising this blog ...
Many ancient and modern teachings suggest illusions, dreams within dreams within dreams.
Any search for reality may only be creating another dream to serve the dreamer's latest hopes and fears, ambitions, psychology, karma and all of that and more. And not just one dreamer, which would be solipcism, but every dreamer, somehow operating at the centre, with many other dreamers playing their roles to support your stories ...
At this stage of madness we have some serious choices to make ... take the Dao as an escape from the trap, relax, have fun, whatever you do don't take your small self as fundamentally real, but do play the game as if it was ... to be human, after all, is defined by being in relationship with at least one other human ... in Silence we get to rest ... maybe ...
That's enough philosophy for now ... Life is getting weirder every day, in a good way, support arrives from unexpected people turning up serendipitously, suggesting the current role in the current times of crisis is serving some purpose ... hopefully not Common Purpose this time!
The moon is interesting at present. Reality suggests it's getting full, moving the waters of the Earth, including humans, mostly made of water ... in a deeper reality of course the moon of Earth in this small solar system is like the rest of the cosmos, spherical ...
Other humans more into this stuff, suggest this particular phase of this illusory moon has a big part to play in bringing the crisis to a head, ready for lancing like a boil ... a metaphor quite apt for the soon departing dark players of DUK and many other nations ...
Dawn is coming. Time to post this blog. Please join in, the forces of Light are gathering ...
