The Sacrilege of Terror

The host-guest relationship is more or less sacred all over the world. (Gregory Bateson, Sacred Unity) Except among terrorists, where host and guest are reversed in priority and assumed to become mutually antagonistic and parasitic, which defines paranoia which is blind to sacred unity of co-hosts and co-guests. Sacred is the integrity of each moment's organic, timelessly regenerate potential. Violence intended to power-over with terror when power-with options remain as accessible as breathing oxygen in and out, to choose to competitively decompose rather than power-with regenerate Earth's sacred organic host/guest relationships is, by any cultural definition of all that we hold sacred, a sacrilegious profanity. Terrorism, and its fundamental anthro-supremacist roots, is as anti-Allah as anti-Christ. Terrorism walks wherever abusive powering-over innocence exploits fear for ecopolitical gain. The only ecopolitical line between sacrilege of abuse, intended to raise terror, and ethno-centric neglect, intended to protect ego's falsely independent security, are the lines that balance my and your integrity of authority within Earth's global nutritional responsibilities to mentor, and thereby advocate, co-redemptive healthy climates, which are organically sacred and not so much terrorist sacrilege, rooted in neglect of stretching love, reductive secularity of humane purpose.
