Here a story of patriarchy. It’s not a story you’ve heard before, but it’s a story with an ending you know better than your own name. You know it for certain because it’s the DNA of your DNA. It is what you’re made from, what you’re made of and what you’re made for.
This story begins with a cameo appearance by Vincent Price (non-fiction) who is liking what he’s hearing from the little devil (patriarchal fiction). You will note the asymmetry of the expected but absent little good angel (religious fiction) on the other shoulder. Religious patriarchy utilizes smoke and mirrors and subterfuge to hide eternal peace and truth in any attractive form, even cartoons and other animation.
Muslims in Morocco are less patriarchal. Their vision is of a “good” angel (symbolic fiction) on one shoulder and a “bad” angel (also symbolic fiction) on the other in competition (patriarchal) and keeping score (also, patriarchy). They influence us and the “good” angel puts good marks in our book of life, and the “bad” angel puts bad marks in our book. At the end of life all-powerful, all-knowing (patriarch) God totals them up and judges and deals with us accordingly (religious fiction).
Eternal peace and truth is different. We’re all good on the inside and through and through, and we were born, live and die with 100% good marks in our eternal (including now) life book. We can’t help but hear and frequently heed devils that buzz around like gnats and mosquitos with elephantiasis. But no matter, they have no pencils or pens, and either they flunked penmanship or their schools didn’t offer it, and God of peace and truth reserves the right to ignore scribbles and Xs.
The crucial things that patriarchy has withheld from us is, we’re not born bad to the bone, we’re born, live and die good as gold. When we act devilishly, that’s not sin, it’s an error, omission, deviation from the norm – and inconsequential. Patriarchy is all situational power and dichotomy. God is all eternal peace and truth and Oneness.
When we act good, we’re good with God. When we act badly, we’re still good with God! See how that works? No dichotomy. In other words, matriarchy. Peace and truth is eternal energy. Reality is, peace and truth is positive energy and – wait for it – there’s no such thing as negative energy; it’s fake, it doesn’t exist. And that’s science. Positive energy can be unused or misused, but there’s no negative energy. And that’s science talking through my mouth. But that’s a story for another day. Stay tuned if you’re of a heart, soul and mind to. Either way, thank you for the opportunity to share eternal peace and truth with you.
