America’s Chinese President…(& Wonder Woman)

November 10, 2008

Intro:
Not sure how all this will be interpreted or understood – {and quite frankly it no longer bothers me, as I realize only a person with an open mind can understand the message before them anyway} – so without further ado, let me try to delve into the thoughts I have concerning the whole issue of race in America…and why some ‘change’ is only skin deep.

Beyonce SuperWoman:
The issue lies not in the color of ones skin, but with the identifying with the pain body.
In essence both sides are as guilty as the other, because both sides exist equally together – just as a coin has two sides which appear to be opposing, yet are intrinsically connected as one.

Take this quote as an example of the problem:
“And it would be a very bold choice. A black Wonder Woman would be a powerful thing. It’s time for that, right?”

As innocent and politically correct as this may sound, its exactly that – politically correct, but not so innocent, as the root is in the victim identity.

Black, White, Asian, Mexican, Red Head, etc.:
What does it matter what the race or the skin color is? What makes one more empowering over the other? If they want the character to resemble the wonder woman we all knew, then bringing in a Red Head would be a stretch even. (I can see a picket line forming now with white, frecklie, red heads wanting to be wonder woman…after all for too long has a woman of power been played by a black haired lady! :) )

Do you see the silliness in all this?
I believe Beyonce may just be looking at her own interest, as it does appear she approached the movie studio saying she wanted to play the part of a super hero and recommended them to make a wonder woman movie. – not that this is bad to have aspirations, but leave the race card out of it…after this recent election Im tired of that card.

Some changes just skin deep:
After all, some changes are just skin deep.
As I have said before, if not, I will say it now – why give your power over to a politician? God didnt recommend it, the prophet didnt recommend it when Israel took on Saul, so if those two say no…so do I. – And this is irregardless to skin color. ;)

Obama played the race card, and in truth it was the biggest joke of all.
Related to ol’ Dick Cheyney, who believes for an instance he relates to ‘African Americans’ – after all, it seemed it was his ‘white’ mother that raised him. – let us not forget, he is not black.

First black president is a lie. I say we get a real black man from Africa so Americans can rise from their stupidity and find out some more about world culture. They are living with their heads in the sand.

For that matter, why not the first Mexican president – I can see it now, this would have caused more trouble then anyone can imagine, as I believe many look upon mexicans as poor and stupid. (You know, the general stereotypes we have.) I dont know, I would take a Chinese president…ah, catching on yet? Sounds like a fast food Menu where you order up a color as a main dish, with some extra sorrow stories as the side dish.

Sorrow stories:
The reason that this ‘black’ card is used so widely stateside is due to the collective pain body, or sorrow stories. – Sorrow stories arent limited to one group of people, its open to all races and colors…and not having a sorrow story is the exception. Maybe Jesus and Buddha, Ill throw in Eckhart Tolle, are examples of people who have gone past, or at least recognized the addiction to victimization that the human race tends to have. ;)

For decades now the so called, ‘African Americans’ have carried around an identity of victimization, whether it be real or not. And for the most part, the story they carry around, of being descendants of slaves, is quite old. Im descendant of people who were put down and misused and killed as well – the American Indian. Do you see me making a fuss about how wronged I was because my ancestors werent born with a silver spoon in their mouth? Am I vengeful and say I will show those whites? (Well, self defeating, for as a lot of the ‘African Americans’ I am white.)

Your grandpa did what?
Best story, and I have shared it before, was as a child growing up in the south.
Riding home on the bus with 97% ‘African Americans’ or more. I got to hear their hatred, and comments such as, “your responsible for our poorness, lack of good education, etc. cause your relatives had slaves”.

First, my relatives did not have slaves.
My Norwegian grandfather was probably on the level of a slave from what I can find on records…destroyed the family it did.

My Indian relatives got to walk the trail of tears…yay!

The Victims were the racist:
So here you have the reverse of what one would think…the racism actually is starting from those who take on a ‘victim identity’. They are not present in what is now, but blaming the external world for their apparent lack, etc. – And in this case, because my skin is white, I was inaccurately described as part of the problem, when in truth I probably had more in common with them then they knew.

You create your own monster:
So their own fear, hate, etc., actually pushes people away.
It creates their own enemy. Someone who would be a natural ally is pushed away, and often can get lost in the same hatred which was pushed upon them.

When I met actual Africans later in life, I realized that not all ‘black’ people were the same.
And in fact, ‘Africans’, did not remind me anything of any of the so called ‘blacks’ I grew up with.
None of the sorrow story…no heavy pain body that you can feel just by being around them…but another gracious human being was able to shine through. – The issue of color was not there. In fact, color was not the issue, it couldnt be…

…it was the collective pain body of ‘African Americans’ which was the turn off, so to speak.

Obama & Beyonce:
So here we have two, non black people, claiming to be black.
Its fun to claim you come from somewhere, and to try to make an identity out of it – but if it doesnt work, then no need to keep going down that same path.

As for wonder woman.
You want to be a super hero Beyonce? Then why not act in a new role?
Why try to reprise a role for a different generation… If you do, great. But to do so because its ‘empowering’ to have a black there, is just silly as we will need the Chinese version, etc. But I know, the ‘African American pain body’ is specifically aimed at balancing the ‘white scale’ even if itself is white.

Conclusion:
This is not an easy topic to just rush through and hope to be understood.
But as I pointed out, you either are on track to get it, or your closed minded and have your mind made up anyhow.

If you want to eliminate racism, its not through trying to see how many black roles and positions you can get – but by not even calling that card out.
If your black, fine, but no need to call it out as if there is a race going on…remember your on the same side as that your competing against. :)

God can only hope that somehow this comes across clearer than how Im writing it.
It truly is simple and empowering once one realizes they can drop the egoic pain body and the identification with a nation, race, or color. Then we can have innovation, and leave behind wonder woman and make some new, and more relevant roles for this new century. ;)
(Otherwise, we are stuck in the past hey?) ;)

p.s. Obama
People are so much caught up in the color of the president elects skin, that they need to be wary if that change is only skin deep. And when one realizes and understand the issue of the collective pain body in society, then you will realize that the ‘race’ card has and will be used to influence public opinion. (Which is driven by emotion anyway, until one awakes within and realizes you ‘need no king’) ;)

So Obama, I voted myself Lord dAlen… Im a sovereign independent, and I welcome the rest of the world to join me as sovereign independents if they want to fully realize your campaign slogan, “Change you can believe in!” ;)

I believe you are going to have change, but not what the masses think – but then again, politics reflect mass consciousness, and I suppose mass consciousness is only making changes which are skin deep…but hey, we have to start somewhere I guess. ;)


Obama, Gays, and the far Right

November 6, 2008

Intro:
It is interesting to me the change that is aired to have come about with the election of Obama and an all Dem. house and senate – yet at the same time a lot of laws are being passed which would seem to point otherwise…(laws which seem to represent an old fear based, right wing, mentality. But who knows…we will see how it all works out, all thing have their time and purpose.)

Concerning the Gay debate (marriage, etc.)
The main issue here, and with most anything in life when you actually break it down and think about it, is this – We have an affinity with making and identifying with labels.

“I am a ____” -
“No, you got it all wrong…Im a ____”

Better put we identify with our actions and take it as who we are.
We turn these into little idols – “thou shalt not have any false gods before me”, and here we are with a truck load crammed up in the closet, with the door not being able to be shut. (Someone opens that closet, they will be crushed by the load of egoic entities they have created.)

Whether it be on one side of the polarity or the other, it does not matter.
We make it our life effort to ‘be someone’ based on thoughts… (happening in the only moment we have…’the present moment’)…the past and future which never exist within any real structural frame outside the ‘present’ moment becomes the story of ‘who we are’.

And worse yet, we are taught this as not only acceptable, but we are taught this as if it were the very core foundation of truth. When the constant err of our humanistic ways throughout the centuries show otherwise. ;)
- We just have to stop and take a look. ;)

So some facts: (And these ‘facts’ are pointers…remember the finger pointing the moon is not the moon. So it is with words, if you think you know what something means, you have constrained it and made a form out of it…no longer can it breathe and flow and show to where it was pointing to. (And people wonder why we as a human race cant communicate…we have ‘ears’ but dont want to ‘hear’.

- People would benefit to realize that marriage is nothing more than a contractual agreement to help benefit both said parties financially, etc. (within the wheel and framework of society.)

Does this need to be proven? Just look at all those who believe in the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman and look at the wild cards lurking there – from domestic abuse, to infidelity, etc. – but its all o.k. because ‘God’ sanctioned it.
(Divorce wasnt even included, but throw it in as well.)

So its really a business contract.

The point, which most coming from an evangelical background would point out, is the ‘Love’. (Which is lacking from the evangelical background…but they are only to blame in as much as they have given their power and thoughts over to some guy in a suit who tells them how to believe and to understand what is infront of their faces.
(Its as if Gutenberg never invented the printing press…why should he? People want to do what they did back then, cast their burdens and cares on someone else and let the buck stop ‘there’ and not ‘here’…

…and people wonder why they are always in a mess, wondering around the ‘desert’, as it were, for ‘40′ years. (A bunch of Adults who have yet to grow up.) ;)

- I will say, all this fear is unwarranted.
Why should any one group have the power to force their beliefs on another?
Is it not enough that you ‘work out your own salvation with fear and trembling?”
Are you going to “force the kingdom of God” on the unwitting victims? Who wants to be dragged to heaven that way – and if its not for concern for them, then is your God not big enough to protect you? Or can you not teach your own children between ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ – or is it that you too want to cast off your responsibilities to someone else, just to complain when it does not line up with what you intended?

Such is life, we as humans do this quite a bit…in all areas of our lives.

“There is no fear in love”.
If you are right about what you believe in, then there is no need to convince the world of it – truth does not need a defense. Only a weak egoic story, which we all have and have had throughout time. (Since the garden, or whatever scenario floats your boat…but it all boils down to the same thing in the end.) ;)

So, lets recognize marriage as a business contract – and those that disagree, thats fine. Best to just live your own life out how you believe and live by example and not words forced upon others. (Reminds me of the Austrian politician who recently died and was far right, and they came out and it appears he was ‘gay’.)

Seems a lot of people are actually afraid that somehow they are weak and something might rub off on them if they are not pushy enough. I dont know.
But again, this is not just about ‘gay’ or ‘not gay’ – this is basic human err about anything in life.

“Jesus accepted her – not the story ‘about’ her:
Everyone, take a deep breathe…relax.
and if your an evangelical, go look at the night sky and remember who this God is you say you believe in…sit back and show the faith that he actually exist and let him do some of the work, etc. I dont think he is as stressed as half the people are.

Infact Jesus ate with the prostitute, and not once had a thought of, “Oh she will change now that she has met me…so therefore I accept her.”

The key was that he “accepted her” – He did not accept a story ‘about’ her.
This is what gives us all the freedom to move on…Dropping identification with actions and labels…

Until next time, take care. ;)

p.s.,
Didnt get to much into the whole Obama bit, what it means.
It doesnt mean anything more than what I have already pointed out here – whoever got in office is a puppet…of mass consciousness, and reflects its current, dysfunctional state. (God said, “you need no king” – I agree, so I take ruling rights back for myself. ;) )

Strange as it is, my Obama thread from who knows when took off the past days.
Guess a lot of search for Obama and the End times have been going on.

Dont worry guys/gals – you change yourself, and that will stop the maddening of the world which started so long ago when we first ‘fell’. (Seriously, that which you resist…persist…true change only happens within.) – Peace

p.s.s.
Just another thing about Pseudo change – remember the dems. were already elected to make change and ‘bring the troops home’, and what happened? Wait…I need to go, I hear the crickets chirping. ;)
Again, change begins and ends in you…(may not seem like as much fun as this earth made drama though…so beware.) ;)
