Of dying Gods and Gods reborn
Of
dying Gods and Gods reborn ... after 2000 years of
the Judeo Christian world view so few understand the original let
motive of god's slain and gods reborn. Osiris in Egyptian myth bears so
much resemblance to the Christian myth , in Norse mythology Odin hangs
on the tree and conquers death and learns the wisdom of the runes.
Buddha sits below the bodhi tree and learns enlightenment. The tree the
cross, the sacrifice to learn and transform the world. But to transform
into what...I am tired of the Sky Father's the celestial dictators who
insist that there is only their truth. Without the insistence of only
one truth we would avoid the wars of ideology, the wars of forced
conversion of the heathen, the infidel and the heretic. If there is ever
a need it is for a saviour to free us from Saviours. Theresa May
lectures us on Christian values and yet she takes to Saudi Arms dealers
and supplies arms around the world. Give me Marcus Aurelius anytime with
his insistence to ask not what someone says they are looking instead at
what they do. Do we survive death? I don't know but I turn back to
Homer when he says that the gods envy us because we are beautiful as we
will never be again as we are at this moment. They envy us because each
of us are unique, our experience varied our soulless original. Do the
gods die with us killed by gas in Syria,? shot to pieces by the arms
trade that our leaders pedal? Do we die condemned by the universal
soldier who just obeys their orders who has been taught to confirm. Do
we die by hunger and neglect or do we end the rule of the dark gods we
create be they human or divine...Perhaps the death of the gods is long
overdue and we must see the divine within all of us, the sacredness of
ourselves and put original sin back with St Augustine and the celestial
dictators of the monotheistic faiths. Perhaps the gods once dead should
stay that way..I am with Homer and the Pagans ......
The female spirituality, Isis, Freya
ignored. The definition of an Apostle in Christianity is someone who has
seen the risen Christ. Yet it was Mary and Martha who saw him first and
yet they are not Apostles. You only rise again if a masculine language
tell you so, Christ rises to become the medieval celestial dictator,
Osiris is give a new golden phallus,,yep its men who tell the stories of
these celestial dictators and of the only truth there is. What a
surprise. Give me the divine feminine any time.
