Church and State, Science and Religion

December 21, 2006

There is no polarity. Things are black and white, like zebras, but concepts are not. Issues are not. The mind thinks in colour.

We can’t have State uninvolved with Church.

What Science doesn’t want to learn is that Religion is also true.

It seems that some people don’t want religion to be taught in school - but religion has been the teacher since deep before school ever was. It has far better lessons than school ever will.

State is made up of people, people are made up of spirit, and so they turn to Church, where they no spirit is. Those who don’t belive in spirit or church can feel full, and alive, but only if they fill themselves. Individuals are spiritual, they seek guidance, they go to church - so statesmen go to church. Then how can we seperate church and state? Maybe only conceptually - but the problem is, the concepts are intertwined. The first state was created by church. State grew in the womb of church…I guess now that it is born, it feels like it is time to cut the proverbial unbilical cord. But the two cannot seperate - the mother and fath will always nurture their child, especially when it is so young and out of control. State has much more to learn than Church does.

Science and Religion both seek truth, both know truth, but one refuses to accept that of the other.

Church knows State. It birthed it.

Why separation? Why not symbiosis?

Why do they have to learn to be apart - why not learn to be together? 


Current Issue

December 21, 2006

Education is still an issue - uneducated poor, uneducated you, uneducated youth. This is my stance: most of us are not educated enough. Those who want to learn have to teach themselves. Most are caught in a life they didn’t create, told what to want, where to go, why they shouldn’t stray.

I want to learn how to love, how to live, how to be a man, how to dance, how to play music and make art - I want to learn things that change how I look at the world, things that give me power over myself, knowlege of myself, acceptance of myself. It seems like i’m taught to not accept my life, but to always be looking for something more - money so that one day i’ll have a safe and soft place to be. But i’m not taught to be, i’m taught to become. 

The world today does not know enough about what matters. We don’t know how to live without watse. We don’t know that we don’t rule the world. Mankind was not meant to be king, we put that on ourselves. And that has brought us problems. We live like the earth is ours to use, like the earth was made for us to live on it, like we know now how to live, as if we know what is best for us. “There is no higher power than man” we say, and so we guide ourselves, as if we know the way to go.

We don’t, but we can learn.   


Reagan and Bush’s Economic Policies

December 21, 2006

Reagan was focused on the supply-side of economics, on supporting the rich and having prosperity trickle down to the poor. Labeled Reaganonmics, it had many similarities to Thatcherism, Margaret Thatcher’s English economic policy. It focused on low taxes and small government, but with a big defense budget and subsequent big military.

Bush also supports tax cuts: as can be seen here

To address this faltering economy, President Bush proposed accelerating and making permanent his 2001 tax cut. In addition, Bush has added additional elements to his initial plan which will bring the cost of his proposal to over $700 billion.

Military spending, too, for the Bush administration, is very prevalent and important. While Reagan had to face the Soviet Union, Bush has to face Iraq.

Today government is larger and mroe powerful than Reagan’s, but the economic policies of the two are similar - with tax cuts, high military spending, and fallback on the budget defecit.


Iraqi Opine

December 19, 2006

Right now in Iraq there is war, yes? Accidental death, intentional death, hunted life, wasted life, and a whole ugly smorgasboard of varieties of taken life and festering death, sporting war.

Iraq can learn from what America has brought to its table, but some people in the country are making the learning experience very grueling. They do not want America to leave Iraq littered with its proverbial sperm and literal landmines. They would rather accept the ideas that America is presenting, and then take the time to integrate them in their own way.

But who am I to say what they would rather do. I am but speculating - butt spectating; looking at the ass we have made of ourselves in Iraq, and looking at the ass Iraq mas made of itself.

America seems to be excreting on Iraq - though we think we are exorcising Iraq. Iraq seems to be rebelling against either. This is all the general view, and I’m sure our generals see it all very differently.

The Black Eyed Peas have it down, what we need, the question we should find and answer for, and then once we find the answer, know it, and keep it in our hearts and on the tips of our tounges; where is the love?

What’s wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK

Now listen. Dont hate. The love is above, and below, and beside you - but if you dont let it be inside you then you’ll die blue. And cold. Shriveled and old.

So Iraq: where is your love? America: Where is your love? I’ll raise my soul finger to tough love, raise my fist to the sky to smash the lie before we all die at the base of some giant mushroom.

Its time to feel the love, and if you dont - because if you dont, even just the love for this post, even just the love for yourself, or the love that your body feels for the bodies around you - if you don’t you’d better ask yourself: where is my love? Because the Love is everywhere, its just…can you feel it?
