<Ever seen a geon or a magnetic wave? > not seen , but felt. they are within me...I do believe.
what's a Geon, again? ----> any relation to Gideon? LOL!:-)))
I do often relflect on that passage in the Tom's gospel of
"The Kingdom of Heaven is here and now , for those who have the ears to hear it and the eyes to see"....
I often think of the need for a man of those times to often seek to escape from the chains and bounds of the mentality of life in the city
in those terribly troubled days, and seek the solitude and vast
wonderments of being alone to meditate and commune with the infinite
in the desert.
Contact with the harsh realities of the city probably would have been minimal for the first stages of Jesus's flight to truth, IMO...and escape from the original persecution we all have to live with-> the dehumanization of living on top of each other. Especially in Judah, where you had the added oppression of another layer of the Roman Rule, which was incredibly severe.
* If he did live within city walls in his youth as an apprentice, I would venture he left to wander in pursuit of that precious and pure space of innocence, that belongs to all of us by birthright. Thus
I would put the majority of his life as wandering in the rural areas
and perhaps a journey east towards the wisdom of Budhism, who's monks
had already made it as far as the cites of the middle east.
People of the west , often forget or choose to remain Blind to the
fact that the world never had seen the wide spread and almost universal conversion to any other religion known to history...and that was Buddhism....The Historical evidence of Gautama/Siddartha
Who lived 3 centuries before , is the most documented religious teacher in the history of the world.
Back to Jesus, believed he lived for much of his years in the rural areas, absorbed and loved the simplicity of the people, saw the saving grace in the simplicity of the divine...chose to teach by simple stories and parables, which could bring light even to a so~called "simple ignorant mind"... for even the simple folk of the world can understand that the heart has it's reasons ...that reason does not know. Our lineage as men, and always comes down to what we know of ourselves within...and forever goes beyond the bounds of what the present society claims to know. This must be true, or things wouldn't ever change. But for the Jew this is problematic, from a theological point of view, for their is no god but Jehova. But others may not share that view. I think our wandering Jesus saw beyond this sincretious belief that the tribe to which he was born so
violently clung.
To know jesus is to know he was a semite, one of the most violent little tribes of the middle east....this we know, for even the Romans were dismayed the attempt to rule them, even though they were small
and often conquered.
...I do hope I live to see the coming of their messiah. But I feel they will
no longer be jews by the time he appears...
Also in the rural areas, he was free to remain in more direct contact with the pure creation of god in nature , and also seek out such mystics as John/baptist.... yet even in the rural areas , trying to teach a philosophy that some might consider to be "for all ages"
as many were inspired to do before and after, he may have found to be a terrific task...to bend men's minds out the deeply set and rooted
superstitions and conditioning... if just ever so slightly, and then get them to hold onto it. The problem always being that the divine, was always for the priesthoods , never the common man.
It is my belief his visits to the major cities, where men dwelled in
tight and fierce trade and competition.... noise and fear and schemes
and plots ....were few.
I get the sense of the last scenes of the confronting of the money-changers by the temple steps..that may ave been one of his first revisiting of the city...The degredation and inhumanity, and ignorance, must have been severely appalling. Though I believe he had
concieved of this plan of confrontation for some time.
It was an act of pure suicide to challenge the powers that be in that way. yet the truths he saw were so simple being recieved in meditations in the solitude places....Jesus was a strong believer
in mans inalienable rights....to dream beyond the confines of the stone walls of beliefs into the "heaven " that was there , all around for those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear.
The same transfixation and conversion was to happen to Mohammed, who as a travelling young merchant began to spend more and more time
alone in the desert, between journeys between the cities...and the
ultimate confrontation with truth vs mere existence and survival day by day.
If we re to live , then live in the midst of the wonder of what the universe truly is...
....with it's geons and electromagnetic waves.
To know the heighth, the depth, the width and the breadth of all things...wow , all you had to do was meditate on... and open your own eyes and ears! A very revolutionary concept! The Priest and moneylenders weren't buying. It did later on become the flavor of the day , obviously...but the second coming was a non-event.
I personally could always be drawn deeply to the quest of all
men , especially like a Jesus, who would attempt to shift ever so slightly , the view of there fellows away from the toils at hand, that swallows up their days with fatigue, fear, slavery, and greed, towards the rising sun each day...
And so shall it be , my statement here today..that your/our Nazarene
was indeed a product of the rural/country , mostly....and walked by the sea of Galilea....but at the end went to the city .
...and it crucified and swallowed him up.
something about the cities, that worried Freud and Neitzche terribly, centuries later----> The total Dehumanization .
Remember the first early mass production lines in the auto industry... or the textile mills in this country?
Try the rug factories in some places in the middle east and india
today....
Well to end it all ,Jesus is just alright by me but must get Back to investing ...and greed and fear......and "high anxiety"! LOL!
Aloha, visit the temple in wailua....
