Yeast and Bread

Life does not necessarily mature into timeless love, just as yeast is not the entire evolutionary journey for bread, and the Way may be part of, but not the entirety of, the Beloved Community. It is so interesting, for a nondualist at least, that a profoundly radical Jewish teacher would say He is the yeast while We are the embodied bread; He is the Way, yet We are the Kingdoms and QueenEarth Shabbats at hand. Then the men turn it around, get it all dualistically, cause-effect backwards, while the women probably knew this Messianic mentor as bootstrapping our evolutionary fulfilling birthing process of incoming and oncoming and ongoing cooperative co-messianism. The patriarchs, with theo-means not-ecological words in hand, were too invested in their post-revolutionary need to distance themselves from the then-powerful elitist threat of Judaic cultural power, at least by comparison with their post-revolutionary dualist-fundamentalist Either/Or departure into before-Christ/after-Christ messianism-already-fulfilled by the One who taught himself as the intentional mentoring leaven, and not the entire cooperative organic co-salvific loaf; as the only Way He could speak of and for, but not our entire EarthTribe Garden of cooperative ecotherapeutic co-redemptive messianism at hand. Too bad the wives and mothers, the nondualist gatherers and not so much the dualist hunters, didn't have the education, or perhaps even the verbal communication skills, to write down their creolizing nondualist fulfillment narratives of cooperative nurture, to recall and cast a nondualist Messiah who did not come to kill YHWH's Chosen People, or His own culture, the regenerative history flowing through his humane-divining mindbody, but to leaven with these Elders, those who had no ecopolitical Win/Lose self-centered elitist hypocrisies like the Pharisees and Sadduccees, those who were not over-invested in the competitive change of Caesar's coin from useful for cooperative consuming health into iconic value-only for producing disembodied hoards of wealth, and to leaven within us as one continuously multiculturing multigenerational nondualistic-BothJewish/AndChristian organic creolizing mindbody of regenerative intention and vast ecopolitically radical compassion; like yeast evolving divinely humane bread.
