Holier With Thou

My continuing impatience problem with smug fundamentalists self-asserting holier than thou moral positions, is that Christ's main point is not Holier Than Others, like Chosen People but Holier With Thou, as one interdependent EarthBound BodyMind. British King James monotheistic readers digest at AntiLiteraturist AntiWisdom Tables, frankly AntiEcological AntiHistorical Development of UnChanging Divine Love, AntiScholarship, hiding behind pure and patriotically loyal, divinely inspired rhetoric about their own good faith and bad faith sainted development and HellFire degenerative experiences. The Gospel Messiah reads to me as more of a Queen Shabbat EarthTheologian with great respect for Virgin Matriotic Human-Divine Wombs, Holy Nature-Spirit Creatures digesting the best Wisdom Literature Teachings about a Creator Abba of OmniPresent Love, ProActive BodyMinds of ReStorative Peace and Justice within Eden of God's Reign with and through PolyCulturing Outcome Hands, and Disciple Feet following his humane-divine evolving Tao, which, in British King James translation would be Way, and Truth, and Life. We have not yet learned fundamental fundamentalist fundamentalism, the literal is yet also our radical sacred distinctions between God's Word as predicating Original Intent of Earth, and God's predictive omnipotence as Original Cause. These are two different Messianic meanings forecasting SpaceTime's EarthBound Futures. If Abba's Words were intended to dominate our future choices, then these would be as pretentious as we might imagine robotically intimate evil-divine control. If Abba's words intend to conjoin, to transubstantiate, to creolize our humane nature-spirit choices, then these become positively portentous and predicating negatively degenerative dark emotions and bad faith feelings and notions, dissonant intuitions of unresolved chaos. If God's word intends to remain dualistically and supremely aloof, uncorrupted by our evolving human ego lives of LeftBrain dominant mortally independent-empty identity, then He would not have predicted or created a Messiah to invite us to become One Globally CoOperative BodyMind of nondual polypathic Win-Win love. Love is cooperatively possible, and competitively impossible without internal dissonant tensions in a too-LeftBrain dominant anti-ecological monotheistic theo-illogical nightmare of mental not fully bilateral consciousness; still lacking potential, and longed for, therapeutic wellness. Sacred scriptures of all cultures and times are not divinely inspired to predict Earth's future, or any one person's future, or any one nation's future, much less any one bottom-line competitive corporation's future; but to portend, to predicate, to inform our bilateral Yang-Health Faith--Beautiful YinFlow, sacred natural Earth portents restoring Left-Right bicameral balancing consciousness, double-binding Left predictive-reductive with Right sacred portent-inductive. Holy Spirits mysteriously portend; They don't magically predict outside imaginable realms of ecologically healthy RealTime and unhealthy DissonantTime. To imagine such an empowered totally-predicted place as Paradise Promised, is to settle for formless lack of full embodiment that could not be ecologically sensed as Positive Paradise. Such an opaque and colorless and functionless Heaven would be a mature fully-conscious human nature's worst claustrophobic and paranoid nightmare. Possibly in full color, but without any protagonist story-line; an unchanging fixed-frame God of statically omnipotent power. Western religion's historically evolving polycultures are made in God's predicating image and are remade in each unique EgoIdentity's self-image, often patriarchal dominant, so matriarchal suppressed Elder SacredRight. Eastern Creation-Ecological nature-spirit cultures are bilaterally made from YangLeft and Right YinFlow, Ego-Eco harmonic co-present consciousness of positiving futures as past predicated, without patriarchally over-stretching prediction of rights to own and rule EarthLives, nondualistic Left-deductive humane with Right-inductive divine, secular-sacred balancing Form-Function Space-BiLateralTime, ReStorative EarthPeace as Ego-Eco Collateral Sacred Justice Holier Together than Apart. Holier Than Thou for Jesus was to be a Pharisee, basically a Fake-Holy Despiser, patriarchally invested only in Ego's bottom-line ChosenPeople Plutocratic Supremacy.
