Reasons For Seasons

Honey. A question. One? For now. Subject to chain-reaction change. As long as we're clear about our lack of restraining rules. Quite so, dear. I'm wondering about that line "Jesus is the reason for the Season." What was the reason before JesusSeason? I mean, Joseph and Mary and their parents, What was their reason for this Season? Whatever they called early Winter back in better and perhaps somewhat cooler atmospheric days? They had Hanukkah I suppose. But it was more of a political victory celebration and I'm not sure if it was in December. What about the Solstice or fertility rights and wrongs and other confusing and often bloody industrious things of that sort? Solstice maybe. But fertility and harvest thereof... Well, doesn't sound like the reason for this Season. Maybe the butchering and harvest part if you're in retail within Christendom. Or hospitality. Speaking of hospitality, didn't that visit to Bethlehem have something to do with an end of year inventory or census or something about adding things up and planning for the future? So the reason for this Season was death and taxes? Maybe sales tax revenues. They used to count productive heads. Now we add up business profits as Sacred Advent anticipates income tax Season with dread. A very warming thought dearest. I think we would do better to sing Jesus is A good reason for the Season. More of a traditional excuse for blatant commercialism and collecting taxes from poor people for most of Christendom wouldn't you say? You're so cynical in the morning. And by evening comatose. That's right dear. A range of cynical through comatose. Which probably has something to do with this dark Solstice. Another reason for Advent Season. Another question comes to mind. Of course, dear, as we both knew, your curiosity grows insatiable. What if Gaia is just another name for Holy Spirit? And Holy Spirit was just another KingJames name for Spiritus Mundi of Greek nondualistic nature-spirit mystics speaking with Rabbinical scholars over two thousand years ago, while Jesus listened? What if a post-millennial Second Transitional Coming of Indra's NetZero Polyphonic Age was another way of feeling CoMessianic Sacred Becoming one Body of continuously Holy EnSpiriting Christendom? Christ as ethological reason for CoMessianic Advent Seasons gifting grace forward through Matriarchal Gaian Mundi EnSpiritus. Any good Jewish son, in historical times and languages of Jesus the Nazarene, would know, If a question of authentic interpretation of teaching, of Original Intent of a divine law or teaching, a nature-spirit rule, such as a WinWin Golden MultiCulturing Rule, were to co-arise, It is our unchanging exegetically orthodox Tradition that discerning authorities must turn to Rabbinical lines of the Teacher to discover contextual evidence for Original Intent. It might, then, be important to Jesus the Nazarene evangelists of truly good news, to remember Greek nature-mystic nondual philosophies embraced by pre-industrialized, AgrarianCentric Gaian EcoSystemic MetaPhysicians of natural-spiritual polypathic wisdom, Listening and watching MotherEarth's spiraling Win-Win revolutions and Win-Lose LeftBrain reactionary over-investments in retributive justice against egocentric hubris, and older root degenerative messages To Lose ecopolitically predicts to Lose ecologically predicts to Lose biologically predicts to Lose psychologically throughout post-industrial Great Transitional ReStoration of Original NatureSpirit Gaian Issues and Intent, Ecological Deep LivingWater Means and Sacred Wisdom WombWays.
