Kempon Hokke Kai: True Dharma Teachings for The Age of Mappo
Anonymous
All right, listen up all you goddamn liberals and free-thinkers, cause
I'm only gonna say this once, &
I'll probably be dead before I have a chance to say it again. And
don't call me paranoid, cause I'm
not. Every fucking word of this is true, and once you finally believe
it, you'll just as soon shoot the
next counter-clerk for asking if you really give a shit whether you
get paper or plastic. The goddamn
Religious Right is all over us, slowly infiltrating our major
corporations, our religions, our hotel chains,
fast food outlets, data processing plants, local & regional
governments, publishing houses,
entertainment conglomerates, our press and media - you name it. Slowly
litigating into our beings
what it's OK to eat, drink, talk about, laugh at, smoke, pray to,
kiss, and think about in the dark
quiet of our rooms. Slowly, though. Not like jack-booted storm
troopers. Not just yet. But with
unrelenting creeping slowness as they impose their hypocritical moral
values as shackles upon what's
left of the free world. Slowly enough so that most don't notice,
others don't care to notice, and
others willingly offer up their hands and minds to the bondage of the
individual spirit all in the name of
some crap like "The Common Good". Look around you, Pal. Neo-Nazi
Ken-Doll Mall Zombies.
And their grunt-labor red-necked henchmen -- all around you. Step out
of the inner city and you'll
find them everywhere. All looking at you like you're the poor fool
who's going to Hell. Well, if it's up
to them, you will! A Big-Ass Hell, right here on God's little ball of
spit. A Hell that they've created
for all of us. And where will they be? In their tunnels under the
ground. Stocked with food, bibles,
weapons, computers, generators, and instruments of torture more
insidious than your worst
shit-infested nightmares. All waitng for God's Armageddon, a concept
some asshole dreamed up
centuries ago just to keep us all constantly looking over our
shoulders, a concept that they want
more than anything to be the ones to put into reality. And who pays
for all this? Not the slime-asses
who'll be hiding down there when all the shit hits, but all those
blue-hair dupes and lackeys, slaves to
the blasphemies of the Church. (hell, any Church - pick one) Pinhead
paranoids who truly believe
that a penthouse suite in the hereafter can only be purchased by
pledging their kids' inheritance to
some fucking telethon. Fear, manipulation, government-funded
ignorance, our addiction to authority,
and our church-sponsored self-loathing have created a cancerous,
festering black spot on our souls
more insidious than any cum-shot or narcotic you could name right now.
Just take a look at the
population nestled in the chafe of the Bible Belt: The sunken chin.
That vague 'Down's Syndrome'
glare in the eyes. Is it any wonder that Christian Fundementalism is
the religion of choice where
genetic in-breeding is the norm? Who else could fall for such
superstitious backwards bull-shit hocus
pocus? And the boys at the top want it that way! Our Church leaders,
our industry leaders, our
elected officials... take a look at the paper: cover up, cover-up,
cover-up. Every day! And we're
only seeing one-tenth of one percent of what's really going on behind
our asses. These corporate
fascists are tired of covering up, and they're working tirelessly to
create a world where they can pull
their shit off openly, in front of us, around us, and on us; and he
who dares speak up will either be
killed outright or whisked off to some detainment center for
experimentation. Right-wing fanatic
Roman Catholic dictators laundering their cocaine cartel money by
tithing it to the Vatican Bank!
Our own CIA funding it's covert activities by selling cocaine hijacked
from independent producers.
No one's hands are clean. The top of the pyramid is covered with shit
and blood. Their shit, and our
blood. Litton Industries. They created the AIDS virus years ago in a
government lab run by a former
Nazi pardoned by George Bush's father when he was Senate majority
leader back in the 40's. Yes!
From the same U.S. Government that tested nuclear fallout and Agent
Orange on its very own
soldiers, and then said they couldn't sue. We killed John Wayne! Why
did the entire cast and crew
of The Conqueror die of cancer after working down-wind from a nuclear
test site? Who fucked our
brains with LSD and then replaced it with cheap killer heroin just
when folks were starting to enjoy
it? It's all over us and there's no escape, and it's all done in the
name of GOD! Their GOD! The
GOD of power. The GOD of Domination. The GOD of fascist enslavement!
The GOD of Death!
Are we so complacent that we sat there in front of our TV dinners
while we let it all go so far? We
are surrounded by Nazi Ken-Doll Mall Zombies who know us to be the
enemy. They want to turn
us into lackey computer chips. Slaves to our Day Runners, our pagers,
our car phones, our interest
payments. To take every human variable out of being human so we can
run faster and jump higher...
for them! How'm I driving? If I'm not hustlin', call my boss. Report
all suspicious behavior to the
thought police... next we'll be having our social security numbers
tatooed on our noses. The sum total
of our achievements reduced to mason jars and urinalisis. No one
escapes. No one is innocent by
their rules, where freedom of thought and the sancity of the
individual are crimes against the
economy. This bull shit morality! This neo-Victorian soul enslaving
puritanism, all done in the name of
some guy with long hair who died nailed to a cross at 33. Jesus was a
dissident!! He died for his
ideas! He was a political prisoner! If I was his ol' man and I knew
what would be coming down
2000 years later, I woulda drowned the fucker in the bathtub rather
than let those self-righteous
assholes destroy the planet IN HIS NAME!! Suck my dick, you pink-eared
crew-cut mall zombies.
I laugh at your yearbook picture you twerp geeks. And what about the
Mormons? Why do we need
caffeine free Coke? Because they fucking own the Coca Cola Company,
Idiot! And take a look
around the magazine stand at the Salt Lake City Airport. Why the fuck
do you think you'll see Guns
and Ammo but not Playboy? I'll tell you what's poor taste! I'll tell
you what's pornographic! White
supremacist soldiers of fortune ass wipes who'd rather have a gun in
their face than a tit! That's
pornographic! What's more of a sin against God? Sucking on a warm,
soft, sensitive fleshy human
orb that rolls the best of Mom, God, and your Lover all into the One,
or sucking on a cold rod of
blue steel that can blow your little pin-head all over the fucking
wall? In fact, show me a tit that's
killed someone, and I'll suck the damn thing myself. That's what I
say... I say bring on the Killer Tits,
you backwards conniving Mormon Assholes!!! What they do in God's name
makes me wanna
puke. Looking at me like I'm the freak because I don't wanna walk
between their lines, and fill out
their forms with their number two lead pencils. Slowly, as they
replace us with polite, well-pressed
computer chip clones of who we were with all the non-Christian parts
taken out. Lobotomy by
computer! Reducing whole entities to a series of zeroes and ones, and
then taking out the ones that
USA Today says we don't need. And then bio-engineering us to die of
cancer just as we approach
retirement age, or die of AIDS, which is what they would prefer if we
should happen to swing 'that
way'. Satan, it's your world all right. Run by lawyers and
accountants, the courts and the military.
And of course The Church. Jesus Fuck You on all the churches. Little
Maloes that slipped over our
heads and turned into collars that you hold the leashes to. While
opportunistic real-estate trash sell
our planet out from under us. Yes, Satan. I am your slave. I am yours.
You own the rights to me until
I die. But I am your unwilling slave. I will not go quietly, whilst I
silently spit unseen bits of mucous
onto your lemon mousse which I serve to you on my knees. Yes, I know
that each day, more and
more of my life is yours. Through religion, legislation, taxation,
coersion, and corporate manipulation,
you are turning this world into your Nazi Ken-Doll Mall Zombie
playground. I have no escape but
death, where I will wait to see you in Hell, where MY God, the true
God of love will raise me up to
his Kingdom, where we will stand together as one and piss on your
fucking head! Se la! An'
ay-man!!

Hi, Anonymous cyberSpace,
I enjoyed your post, though it's funny it's a binary not a text.
My computer is down, I think.
Anyway, I enjoyed your post.
I was just watching 'BUDDHA' broadcasting(telecasting) by NHK over
here(Here means
where I am).
They telecasted Myammer(or Birma) which handed down so to speak 'Hinayana
Buddhism'(It's not good to say Hinayana recently, so Orthodox Buddhism is
a correct word).
Anyway, it was very interesting, although what I believe is Mahayana and
theirs is Orthodox. Some difference, and some the same, etc., anyway
I'm learning about Myammer(Maybe, Myanmar, or ex-Birma).
There were a lot of Pagodas, huge and tall, decorated. At the top,
there was 'Nehan', or Nirvana, they believed, the TVreporter said.
People are very poor, though.
Was interesting very much. Your last post talked about MYammer.
Was interesting,too. Right on the spot. 1950's speech, right?
Was it an Arahat's speech or President's ?
Sincerely,
gombukut
P.S. I like MacDonald Hamburger very much.

ACT NORMAL!
Who is it that gets together in mobs and hunts down, tortures and
kills people who are different from them? Who is it that teaches
modesty,
courtesy, and generosity but lives in depravity, rudeness, and greed?
Who
is it that can gather together the time, energy and money to murder
millions and destroy cities, for the sake of a flag, deity or economic
system? Not weirdos, not kooks or cranks or nuts. It's the "Normal"
people who do those things.
It's the "Normal" people who believe there's only one "real world"
and it's the one THEY'RE living in. It's the "Normal" people who kill
each other over differences in that reality, and if someone can't trick
themselves into ignoring the millions of inconsistencies or can't gloss
over the gaping flaws in that reality-construct, or can't even pretend
convincingly that they believe that flimsy and self-contradictory
world is
ALL TRUE, rather than have their own illusory stability undermined or
accept that other ways of thinking and seeing might be valid, the
"Normal"
people imprison those "mentally ill," and experimentally destroy their
personalities by use of drugs, electroconvulsion, and brain surgery.
I saw a letter to Ann Landers from a poor couple whose son took
steroids and later began to think he was JFK. Unusually sensible doctors
wouldn't agree with them that it was a Disease called Schizophrenia, and
wouldn't keep the fellow locked up and drugged as his loving parents
wanted. (They had looked up Schizophrenia in a book and thus knew all
about it.) Their son eventually killed himself, and the parents
cautioned
all young men against the use of steroids. I felt sorry. Not for the
son, who is now free, but for the parents who drove him to final
escape by
the continuing refusal of the validity of his primary goal in life,
"to go
to Washington and help people with their problems." Rather than take the
time to teach their son to use his strange gift, they succumbed to their
fear of the unusual and destroyed the creature they helped create.
It's the "Normal" way of thinking to label things and file them
away so they don't have to be thought about any more. If "idea x" is
labeled as "stupid" it can be discarded. All subsequently encountered
ideas bearing any resemblance to "idea x" can also be so classified and
discarded, saving valuable time and energy for watching TV or thinking
about movie stars. If something new or different comes along, the
"Normal" way is to classify it as quickly as possible according to the
guidelines set down by reputable authorities so it may be conveniently
and
safely filed away. This might not be such a destructive system if it did
not cripple or entirely halt the learning process, but once a "Normal"
person learns to use this technique, consideration of new or unusual
things or ideas is only necessary when the classification system itself
fails or is too limited in scope to encompass the thing seen or thought.
It is the duty and function of "Normal" people to classify, label
and file the whole of existence and experience. Sadly, a description of
the nature of the object is frequently taken as a distillation of the
essence of the object. In the unwritten sequel to the classic poem "The
Blind Men and the Elephant," we go a thousand years further on the
linear
timescale to a world in which vast temple complexes have been built by
the
followers of each of the seven theoreticians and holy war is waged
against
all who dispute the fact that an elephant is very like a tree, a wall,
or
a rope. Even worse, cults arise venerating fans and ropes AS ELEPHANTS,
and devotees plant bombs in the automobiles of those who insist that a
wall is just a wall,and not an elephant at all.
It's the "Normal" way of thinking to believe that we call a thing
by a name and classify it as a certain kind of thing because that is
what
it IS. Regardless of well-known classical allusions to roses and other
names, "Normal" thinking dictates that name defines nature, that a thing
is what you say it is and you say it is what it is because that's WHAT
IT
IS. "Normal" thinking disregards the fact that two different people can
look at the same object in the same place at the same time, and reach
two
entirely different conclusions about the nature of that object: not
because the object itself is variable or has two or more natures, but
because each individual bases conclusions and deductions on the whole of
experience and their likes and dislikes, or physical and emotional state
at any given moment. Thus, one person may glorify as a symbol of the
highest ideals of humanity the image of a man being tortured to death
and
brand "obscene" the image of a child with no clothes on, and someone
else
might consider such thought idiotic. Some persons may maintain their
right to hold their own opinion based on their own tastes and
experiences,
and others might interpret that as a blanket condemnation of all they
are,
and fear for their lives ever after.
I don't wish it to be thought that "Normal" thinking is
essentially a bad thing. Very few people actually require an open mind
or
the ability to reason in the course of their everyday lives. A
donut-shop
cashier does not need to consider the ethics of selling blobs of greasy
dough, and a philosophical and ethical outlook would be an outright
detriment to a nuclear warhead assembly plant worker or oil-company
lawyer. It is vital for most people to continue to act "Normal." Without
such behavior the wheels of commerce and progress would grind to a
halt.
The excesses which make life in this modern world so simple for those
who
are free from the confining systems of dissatisfaction and complaint
would
suddenly cease to be. Without the ridiculously expensive and painfully
loud car stereos, the mindless repetition of pop-song lustmongery,
elaborate hairdos, huge jewelry and ten-thousand-dollar wristwatches
dangling before the sleepwalking hordes there would be no cheap crummy
apartments, discarded art supplies, inexpensive healthfood, or good
secondhand clothing.
For the most part, the existence of "Normal" behavior is a good
thing for those who require nothing more. But for people who care about
things or think about things, who examine their lives and their place in
the world, acting "Normal" is insanity, a trap which leads to constant
dissatisfaction and eventual destruction. Acting "Normal" for such
people
is hating, complaining, finding fault, holding grudges, being afraid,
and
limiting themselves to the small world of everyday existence, the world
even "Normal" people pay most of their money to escape from by buying
distractions, or getting loaded and laid as much as they can before they
die.
When it is possible to choose not to live in the small world of
reaction to stimulus, to act by choice and to choose the good, to see
beauty and find enjoyment anywhere, there is no need to escape, no place
or person to escape from. When emotional and physical states are seen as
temporary and subject to will and choice, when the past is seen only
as a
picture in the mind and the future as a dream not yet dreamed, to live
and
to enjoy living become, not "Normal" but NATURAL, essential, a part of
each individual nature.
POSTSCRIPT: This essay was written years before the wide public
participation in internet. If it were being rewritten now it would
certainly include thoughts to the effect that it is "Normal" people who
critique the grammar or typography of literature which contains ideas
they
don't understand. It is "Normal" people who display the height of their
intellectual and crative capacity by using the anonymity of a mailing
address to take one-line wisecrack potshots at people who actually try
to
THINK about things and express those thoughts through imperfect physical
interface. ...and so on, delineating some of the common ways that stupid
intolerant people use to attempt to bring down to their own level anyone
on the net who displays any earnestness or sincerity in the desire to
make
the world a better place for everyone.

By YOUR definition. This statement tells all. You consider it
"Normal" for people to live in depravity, rudeness, greed, murder
millions and destroy cities.
>I saw a letter to Ann Landers
Well, I've got to admit, I'm stumped. I thought all the dumb fucks
who held the beliefs you did weren't able to read. Now you drop this
on me....

Maybe the doctors were waiting in case Cuba acted up again?

You mean they could read also?

So he intended to help people with their problems by taking
steroids? Help them with what, lifting heavy furniture?

Ok, your an idiot. Call me normal.

Your living proof of how this theory is true. You were labeled
stupid many posts back, now every post you submit is classified such.
>certainly include thoughts to the effect that it is "Normal" people who

>they don't understand.
Well then you can't say anything about the response you get in here.
You posted no literature, simply the thoughts of a raving lunatic.
