Even the
most austere of contemplative
zen says that eating is itself competition and striving, not resting, for it
must
obtain food, and that is the best that can be gotten when Lao Tzu
wants zen to run politics, and Hsien Tao wants it to make immortals, the
most
corrupt of the three. All this is in Creel. To compare China with
Mesopotamia and
the task of divining the future, whether in the pyromancy, sortilege
of
yarrow stalks of China, liver samples in Syria, or Greek emperors
sacrificing animals until they get the answer they want, over and over,
beyond
the three dove, three sheep limit, whether an emperor should fight or
not, or Yeats should go to the dentist, the desire to act rightly is
extracted from the man who does not know what to do. Among the Jews,
Zedekiah at
the Captivity was told to go quietly and
Jerusalem would not be burned, but he was afraid of turncoats in
Babylon, and even told by Jeremiah it would go well he would not go and so all was lost,
himself included, all because he would not believe. He would not believe the
Greek /captains would not do their wills unless confirmed by the omen outside
themselves. Omen giving takes away faith everywhere.
Not the fall of Rome or Babylon but the
fall of Israel is the most important event in western civ. And the main issue
there is it is a symbol of the human dilemma. How to survive the fall, how to
remain pure in the midst of corruption, Jeremiah documents the outer tale,
pulled up out of a miry prison where he had been cast, with old rags under his armpits, kept in the
court of the prison until Jerusalem falls, then he is taken to Babylon, but not as Zedekiah the king, blinded with his children
killed in front of him, but in honor. And this is not the whole tale but only the
start for Daniel, whose answer to the dilemma of worldliness is water and pulse, dreams of
dreams reconstructed, not deconstructed, who is visited by angels who are
interfered with in their flight by arch forces opposed to the whole world
themselves, but reveal for all time that council of egregori watcher-nephs
that crowd the air so we know them for what they are.
Not to talk as we talk or think, the unsaid allows the Word to enter
without danger into the language of words, the 120 interpretations of a phrase
that lead to the real learning. The words within words begin to receive
real transmission to create, especially in the disappearance of the master
whose 1700 analogies and seven hundred doubts of acquired knowledge
emanate from the mind that comes wholly from God, unsaid and said in the picture
language we call speech, that speaks of itself and we hear the sound thereof but know not whence it
comes or wither it goes, as in one born of the spirit. By dictation of the
preexisting book written on parchment of white fire, with writing of black fire
with no punctuation, sentences that neither begin or end, written unwritten,
revealed in Yahshua is
the speech that creates speech,This describes the passage of the celestial to the terrestrial that omens cannot express, the one that becomes many in the domain of reflection and remission, for no sin exists in relation to heaven or earth that cannot be expiated among men in the light of day, but with the understanding that a single bad action can wipe out an accumulation of 1199 good ones, even that is brought to naught by the severity of the mercy, for free forgiveness is always at the expense of someone innocent who personally assumes its cost, the brother of the guilty who stands in his place and this is the steadfast love good to a thousand generations double.
