Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 In the Heartland yesterday there were a number of twisters and some casualities. Odd then that our Tom-Ji, newest fully fledged member of the Rudra tribe, also had some temper flares. I would like to merely remind everyone not to ever take these things too damn seriously as nature itself also blows off steam. Who is really to say where a supposed individual begins and ends. In life, there are no closed systems. Everything being open ended, except in an aquarium, we all share much of the process of reintegration that makes spirituality smetimes difficult. If we think that an age of spirituality is dawning then we know that much of the work will be wrathful, as that's in the nature of the deities themselves. But we don't have to take it seriously. I have often been one in the drivers seat of wrathfulness. In fact, I found I needed a better philosophy to help me deal with my innate anger at the human constructs of this world where greed and exploitation really are the law over equality and justicel. On this point I will remind those who studied law, that the common law here in the West is based on habit, custom, and equivocation and policy. It is not divine, and usually the largest money holder is the one who steals the day. For this reason the West is on the side of the mediocre McDonald's mentality, and not on the side of the small quality concept. Here in New Orleans it's easy to see how freeways were built to segregate black and white, how commercial housing tracts were built to Habitrail classes. And we can see how education and the arts are given a low priority whereas rasing casinos and chemical industries are summarily applauded. The byproducts, such as industrial toxins and chronic gambling addiction especially amongst the poor don't matter. This is human society, and only the slightest fraction of discrepancies between exploitation and compassion. The intellect cannot fathom the means to right wrongs, or address errors in life's planning. Sometimes, Man, we just need to blow up and let off some fucking steam. Sometimes even this may be part of nature's workings themselves. Who knows for sure that somehow someone who was in the right place and right time didn't also get a boost thereby to somehow make a change through this seemingly haphazard process. The deities of which we are one with, they know the most integrated way to produce integrated change, and if they don't then noone else does. And there's so much going on right now in the heavens and upon Earth. Wow. Is all I can say. We do know that wearing our beads however makes us a bigger part of the catalyst then if we didn't, like being in the kitchen we get to season up the food to our taste. We're closer to the divine fire here, and we get things to turn out more our way, I believe, and yet, it is a bit hotter here. So let's thank Tom for sharing with us here. Whether we know it or not he has become a big part of our experience, and he is fast becoming a rudraksha magnate. In the Heartland yesterday there was some big clearing.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2003 Report Share Posted May 5, 2003 How true - besides, the negative polarity is always dominant and to accept only the positive and deny the negative is to live in la-la land. Maybe everything is appropriate if we consider the context. Maybe nobody needs to be wrong or right. >"Kirk" <kirk_bernhardt > ><> >Outbursts and Rudra >Mon, 5 May 2003 09:36:31 -0500 > >In the Heartland yesterday there were a number of twisters and some >casualities.
