»why have we let the narrators and propagandists shatter the truths into a million pieces and then tell each holder of a piece, “You are right. They are wrong. They must be annihilated”?«
That's a really good question! To the first part we might spontaneously respond – "It wasn't me who let them. They did it to us!"
But with the second part you did some magic by adding the "...right + wrong..." bit.
As long as WE buy into the right and wrong and subsequent need for annihilation of the alleged evil; as long as WE claim to be 'right' and accuse the other of being 'wrong' we are continuing and supporting the narrative. We carry the baton of those narrators and propagandists. We don't need to do that.
And btw. I'd love to see that painting of the water dragon 🐉
I love what you express about how it was done to us but then we as a whole started going along by agreeing to enemize those who see it differently, rather than allow space for all viewpints/journeys, with love. I remember when Canada's Trudeau, who has a track record of extreme disrespect for women and indinegenous people said of those of us who questioned force or coercion "They 'do not believe in science, who are often misogynists, often racists, too; it is a sect, a small group, but who are taking up space, and here we have to make a choice, as a leader, as a country.' Trudeau himself has a track record of being extremely harmful and hypocritical toward indigenous people and other minorities. I also remember how quickly with whom I tend to agree with on topics like body sovereignty around injectibles tend toward a war-like energy that dehumanizes women and non-binary people (this is complex because the left mostly does virtue signaling around feminism and many people struggling with gender don't receive the care they actually need because they are used for an agenda aspects of the trans movement,) and blames all Jews in very cruel ways for those who happen to be Jewish while being connected to some very dark things, often including the mob and intelligence. There are mostly good people and mostly corrupt people in every race/lineage/political group/country/gender, and if the mostly good people all came together we would be far more powerful than the few mostly corrupt people and the many who follow them without question when told not to question! Contrariness and unity are not opposed. We are already one! By being contrary to that which separates us, we can remember it in a living body of life in harmony on this blessed, beautiful, sacred planet! May all beings be happy and free! May all live joyously in abundance! May all forms of racism, fascism and sexism end! May all people receive the care they truly need in alignment with their soulful inner guidance, without coercion, force or shame, forever and ever, amen!
the trouble with all -isms is the sense of supremacy, embedded in all three Abrahamic religions. In their Creation Myth, the first humans are presented as superior to nature and told by some 'God' to go forth and subdue the earth.
From this narrative (!) men have declared themselves as superior to women; one skin colour superior to another; Aryans superior to Jews; Jews superior to all other religions (or races, or people); scientists superior to non-scientists; upper class superior to lower class; activists superior to racists; one ethnicity superior to another; thoughts superior to feelings; the right hand superior to the left... It's ridiculous ~ (if it didn't have such serious consequences)
This one-up-manship needs to stop! - as you say❣️
The saddest (and most dangerous) part is that underneath the supremacist mask we humans all carry a heavy baggage of INFERIORITY somewhere hidden away inside. Which means, the SUPERIORITY-COMPLEX is complex ~ complicated with the Inferiority-Complex ~ complicated with trauma → historical, religious, intergenerational → personal.
The personal trauma ~ in my experience ~ is the easiest (and arguably most painful) part we can work with to begin to dissolve those knots of entanglement and conflict. If we can nurture ourselves to grow up, then inferiority and superiority both vanish (because they are both rooted in the same emotional soil). What remains is love and compassion. For self first, and from that hub radiating to all other fellow humans.
No, I hadn't until now. I wonder what they mean by 'inert substrates' and how can an 'inert substrate' be 'nature based' or 'green' (whatever is meant by that) – Nature is intrinsically alive!
I wonder if they mean charchoal or something similar. I was actually looking of mycoremediation but I wanted to see if anything distributable was out there yet beyond the studies that show it works! <3
there are many manufactured products out there, promising to 'improve on nature'. And of course in some situations that may be valid and necessary, since mankind in its supremacist attitude has destroyed so much.
In my understanding, the best way to nurture and heal the soil is to engage with her. To understand how the soilmother heals herself, and then support her efforts to do so, using largely organic materials which are available locally.
I am so with you on the easiest and arguable most painful part is dissolving these knots of entanglement of that weird blend of superiority and inferiority. I feel this is in all or nearly all cultures, to varying extents. Japan and Korea both have the same kinds of manifest destiny stories as the West, for example. My own experience as one who embodies elements of the Abrahamic Traditions in her cells is that isn't that tradition itself that is the problem...every spiritual tradition has virtually the same dark side and the same core truths if you peer beneath the varying forms of Patriarchy. Green Tara, for example, it is told noted the sexism throughout the universe and vowed to only incarnate and gain her enlightenment as a woman! Yet I went to a Buddhist retreat once and the Green Tara statue was much smaller than Sakyamuni Buddha (who at first resisted allowing female nuns - the reasons may be debated...perhaps he was trying to be culturally relevant or protect women in some way, to give him the benefit of the doubt... but the when I told the nuns at the Monastary I thought Green Tara ought to be bigger, they said "Well this is BUDDHISM." I replied, "Yes it's Buddhism. It's not Sakyamnyism. :) <3 In fact, Green Tara predates Shakyamuni Buddha! Green Tara in fact, as I understand it, Predates Buddhism itself, as we know it. :) <3
Interesting, and I totally agree! The superiority/inferiority issue is very pervasive, and deeply entangled with patriarchal cultures. Thank you for sharing your experiences... which reminds me of bits and pieces I picked up some years ago about the female lineage of Buddhism via the work of Lama Tsultrim Allione, founder of Tara Mandala, and teacher & author of the book 'Feeding Your Demons', also known as 'Chöd Practice.' I deeply resonate with her work.
So cool! I will check her out! Yes, it seems that within every tradition there is usually a lineage that has tried to preserve the pre-religious original teachings, usually in secret...and often equally covert purposeful distortions of the energies. What I think gets out to the masses is a hodgepodge designed to control and keep the people docile and in a low vibrational state with just enough hope and redemption to keep them from seeing through. But many have already. Have you read The Sophia Code? I think I already did and you said you hadn't yet...I'd love to hear your thoughts if you do...
I don't remember you mentioning 'The Sophia Code' or me responding... perhaps I've forgotten, or missed it...
So I checked it out right away, and tried to find some background information about the author. (that's what I always do!).
The fact that the information about 'who is Kaia Ra' is consistently and exclusively 'bestselling author of TSC', and 'founder of TSC' ~ triggers an alarm bell in the intuitive channel of my mind.
Apart from the family denying K.R.'s claims, I picked up some disconcerting vibes. I've seen too many new age gurus come and go over the past 40 years or so, making wild claims which turned out to be 'confabulated', to put it mildly, after becoming extraordinarily 'successful' at the commercial level.
So my verdict is: It's unlikely that I'm going to read 'TSC' in a hurry, or rely on the 'supernatural transmissions' of the author as a reference in my research.
