That's the image I have come to concieve Solon.
That statement of
" My God , why hast thou forsaken me " has always
haunted me , Solon . He was not all the way there ...
He was a young rebellious , passionate , wild and reckless firey red-haired country preacher .... that probably got thrown out of every village he went into.
He was a minor irrratant that swallowed up and martyred
in the hotbed and chaos of his time , and the archaic laws
of exclusion that haunt them still today.
He was dispatched forwith by the greedy businessman of the town who desired him gone , when he finally went and challenged the authorities , and spent one week of raising cane.
The Middle East of that time ? No great saint or prophet
with true equipoise could have been born or thrived in all that madness. That area was a lunatic assylum, period.
And all this monumental effort of the monlithic church thru the centuries to elevate this poor chap to Godhead , is finally nothing more than just an affront to my senses ,
and one, huge collosal "front" and facade which rings so hollow to my inner eyes.
As I have grown , after being a student of christianity thru my youth , and in many discussions
with seminarians , priests & nuns , and examining the the scriptures and absorbing the influence of christianity
upon the world , am completely sure now it is
only just a complete fabrication built out
upon worn and torn precepts, meant originally
to hold a crumbling, deteriorating
and morally shattered Roman
empire together.
I witness with regularity ones like Chris Land and Greg
trying so desperately argue about this and this ....always forgetting the "love" they are supposed
to be sowing .
I can tell you one thing Solon , that this religion
and it's completely outmoded scripture and thought
will not be around nuch longer. Or all the forms of fundamentalism in it's warring siblings
of Islam and Judaism .
One of these days they'll all wake up
and realize what was always at the heart of all
these myths and stories that were first created
set themselves apart , look with suspicion on their neighbors and pretend to have
some claim to a higher standard.
And with all that teaching , they could only manage to seee that they were brothers a handful of times in how many centuries?
The change~over is already happening with the
youth around the world , finding their own destiny is within their own potentialities , and there will be a morphing of it all very soon .
They don't want outmoded and outdated supersticions
and ancient prophesies , they need to feel they are
part of something eternal and real today.
And it's right their in their own hearts . Just a little longer is what I see , maybe fifty uears , and something very new begins maybe . Exciting to be part of ?
