The Biblical Book of Job puts God on trial for crimes against Job; and in Auschwitz, a group of incarcerated Jews, led by Elie Wiesel, put God on trial for crimes against Jews. In this book, I put God on trial for crimes against all of humanity.
The first task of my new book, then, was to apply this analogy to sorting out our basic worldview, religious/spiritual beliefs, personal values, etc. before attempting to evaluate the importance or message of the Bible.
With this framework in place, I created a courtroom scene to bring Yahweh to trial for crimes against humanity. The prosecution called three expert witnesses and the defense called four expert witnesses. In the next four blogs I will cover the four parts of this new book, namely:
To compound matters, we humans are simplistically imposing chronology on a timeless phenomenon. We are overlaying the daffodil with an artificial time-template. To the human, the bulb comes before the stalk which comes before the flower, but in actuality they are all concurrently present.
Though Buddhism is not a theistic system, it has its own trinitarian formula which might be the following: Buddham Saranam gachami (I take refuge in the Buddha), Dharmam Saranam gachami (I take refuge in the Teaching), Sangham Saranam gachami (I take refuge in the Community).
In the two previous essays in this series, as I examined the notion of a Holy Trinity, I focused on the Christian version while touching briefly upon Jewish, Buddhist, and Hindu versions. In this, the final essay in the series, I want to focus on another Hindu version and use it as a springboard for understanding and transcending our current global situation.
There is a huge difference between these two words and between these two processes. Revolution is always fast, angry, and ultimately (long-term) ineffective. It always eventually creates a backlash, which can be another revolution or an evolution. Revolution has no appreciation for tradition and its achievements. It is a form of fundamentalism, reducing history to simplistic, critical bumper stickers. In fact, it quickly reduces complexity to an ideologically precipitated entropy. All the hard-won gains are lost, and the great heroes of yore are sacrificed on the altar of ingratitude. Revolution cuts itself off from its own ancient roots, reducing the fruit-bearing tree to mere firewood.
In most tree species, the volume and spread of the root system is almost a mirror image of the above-ground branches, twigs, and leaves. Were it not so, strong winds would topple the tree and expose roots, disconnecting them from their food source. And, of course, a trunk, limbs, branches, twigs, and leaves that took an axe to their own root system, would achieve the most inglorious of pyrrhic victories. It would be a murder-suicide pact.
I am flowers and butterflies;
I am toothlessly smiling infants
and great mustachioed walruses.
I am playful, agile kittens
and great lumbering elephants.
I am turbulent oceans
heaving and hurling tsunamis
at the stoic cliff faces.
I am serene, stable mountain ranges
solidly and silently contemplating eternity.
I am the cross of Resurrection
grounded in incarnation
while my crown chakra pierces the heavens.
I am the atoms of my own immanence
aligned in ultimate laserized coherence,
and embracing all beings
with my outstretched arms.
I am the Source Soul
holding and hugging the entire mantra of manifestation.
So, Joseph and I went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because Joseph belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with me, who was pledged to be married to him. I was expecting a child. While we were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and I gave birth to my firstborn, a son. I wrapped him in swaddling clothes and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for us.
I learned that lesson from the most unlikely of teachers: ESB workers and a tractor owner. Just yesterday, I learned a beautiful articulation of this insight in another unlikely place - a hardware store! Nestled nonchalantly between a chain saw and a garden hose was a painted wooden sign that said,
As part of my missionary career in Kenya, I was the headmaster of Kipchimchim Harambee Secondary School for a number of years. I also taught math, physics and religion. One day during a lecture on the evolution of the Bible from an oral tradition to a written form, and the difficulties attendant upon translating an ancient Hebrew text, written without vowel signs, into Kenyan languages, I decided to do an experiment. I asked three students to step outside the classroom and then I wrote a simple paragraph in English on the blackboard. Then I brought in one of the three students and asked him to write a Swahili translation of it immediately underneath. Then I covered the English version, brought in the second of the students and asked her to translate the Swahili version into Kipsigis. I then covered the Swahili version and brought in the third student. His job was to translate the Kipsigis version into English. Finally, I uncovered the original English version and watched as the class compared the two English versions. As you might suspect, the two versions bore little resemblance to each other!
So now I want to revisit a statement I frequently make: life is a dream which the ego is having; the ego is a dream which the soul is having; the soul is a dream that Spirit is having; and Spirit is a dream that Source is having. I want to now give a second version of that progress and say the following: life is a dream that the senses are having; the senses are a dream the quantum mechanics is having; quantum mechanics is a dream that mathematics is having; mathematics is a dream that creative Spirit is having; and creative Spirit is a dream that Source is having.
In time, the thought/child is fully independent of the ego/mother. Buddhism will call this a tulpa. And a thought/tulpa which is regularly the focus of attention and intention becomes a very powerful entity in its own right, and can dictate, overpower and even imprison the ego/mother while utterly ignoring the soul/father.
And that is my prayer for all those who transition at this time. I wish for them a kind of terminal lucidity where they remember their own divine nature, their Spirit origin, and break into great smiles as they recognize the open, welcoming arms of the God who was always both immanent experience and ineffable transcendence.
In the first essay in this series, I made two important claims: first, that anything that has agency creates karma; and, second, that the human mission is to heal all of the karma generated by all life forms on planet Earth over the last 3.7 billion years. I want to expand on those two assertions in the next two essays. And I also want to offer five practical exercises, at the end of essay #3, that will help us to clean up karma.
In his Nobel-Prize-winning work, the biochemist, Ilya Prigogine, showed how complexity vanquishes entropy, not so much by introducing new elements into the mix, but by simply re-arranging the already-existing elements. Rather like re-organizing the pieces of a badly-done jigsaw puzzle, so that the picture on the cover begins to emerge.
Now, the karma question: was the behavior of the adult female good or bad? Would you say she committed a crime? Was she guilty of a sin? How would it affect your thinking if I revealed to you that the adult female was, in fact, an Alsatian dog? Obviously, her behavior would fall into dimensions 1 (basic) and 2 (practical) but not dimension 3 (moral). She had no guilt.
Then, Jesus went on to teach and to exemplify the final stage in the process, which is to not judge anybody but to forgive everybody. This is not about excusing or condoning bad behavior but about letting go of anger, anxiety and resentment, as we attempt to bring about peace in our times.
Number one, forgive, not from your lips only but from your heart. Forgive personal insults; forgive insults to your family; forgive insults to your tribe or culture or religion or nation. Seek reconciliation.
Number three: try to make as many people as possible smile today; fellow motorists, people in line at the Post Office; your spouse, children, friends and colleagues. Physiologically speaking, it takes far fewer facial muscles to smile than it does to scowl. Moreover, it feels good and does good.
Practice number five: talk to a tree; better yet, listen to a tree! You can do this vibrationally through your hands or telepathically by softening your gaze and your heart. You will find that it is quite easy to become fluent.
So, how to account for the travails of childbirth, the difficulties of agriculture for clue-less desert nomads who had just recently become farmers, the reality of patriarchy, and our fear of snakes?! In one brilliant little vignette, they gave answers to all of those questions.
Advanced as we are, we still carry the reptilian brain and the mammalian brain tucked resourcefully behind the very recently-acquired neocortex. Original Sin is still calling the shots. But it contains, within its deepest shadows, the Original Blessing which can only be midwifed by Christ consciousness.
