GROANINGS OF FREEDOM

Ye Shall know the Truth, and the Truth Shall set you FREE!

Freedom oh freedom it’s just a word

Freedom’s just a word for nothing left to lose

Free = no cost

None of us are free, one of us is chained, none of us are free

NOT FREE NOT TO OFFEND WHETHER OFFENSE IS RIGHT OR WRONG.

NOT FREE NOT TO BE MORAL, Anything infringing on someone’s freedom infringes on MY freedom.

Give me liberty or give me death?

A live dog is better than a dead lion apparently.

Liberty to do what?

There will always be bullies and imperialists pigs who consider others as lesser human beings who think they have some sort of a white, black or blue supremacy on people and colours.

We won’t even be free in heaven NOT FREE NOT TO BE MORAL, Anything infringing on someone’s freedom infringes on MY freedom.

FREEDOM! LIBERTY! COST! ....it’s only words and words are all we have

God Himself didn’t seem to frown on slavery way back then or even He didn’t have the power to break that dirty greedy market.

Every time there is more than one person involved there is a breach of freedom even among the best intentions

A parent is not free to cry in front of his child, a partner must be careful with his feelings too as they set moods and consequences etc, any form of respect in fact is often an encroachment on one’s freedom.

As Ani Di Franco said:

I love us both but i don't feel good
So i keep pulling over
And looking under the hood
I love us both but i'm at wit's end
Where does your compromise begin and mine end?
I love us both but what
World's it gonna be?
The one according to you
Or the one according to me?

1Pe 2:12 Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

1Pe 2:13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;

1Pe 2:14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

1Pe 2:15 For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:

1Pe 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God.

1Pe 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

1Pe 2:18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

1Pe 2:19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

1Pe 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1Pe 2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

1Pe 2:23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

1Pe 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1Pe 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

What a paradoxical dichotomist liberty is that?

USING YOUR LIBERTY AS SERVANTS

BE SUBJECT WITH ALL FEAR TO THE FROWARD.

but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

committed himself to him that judgeth righteously

I CAN ABSOLUTELY NOT GRASP THIS!

THIS CONCEPT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A SOURCE OF EVIL USE AND ABUSE FOR CENTURIES PROFITING ONLY TO THE RICH AND THE POWERFUL AND THE DAMNABLE RELIGIOUS SO CALLED AUTHORITES. THE LITTLE MAN HAS NOT PROFITED FROM THIS ON EARTH OR IN HEAVEN BUT HAS BEEN USED AND ABUSED AND TORTURED AND FED WITH LIES AND FALSE HOPES.

HOW MANY JIM JONES DO WE NEED? HOW MANY DAVID KORESH? HOW MANY HITLERS OR SADDAM HUSSEINS OR ANY EVIL MASTERS DOES IT TAKE FOR CHRIST SAKE?

MOST PEOPLE WHO SUBMIT TO THIS DO IT FOR THE WRONG PEOPLE THE WRONG CAUSE AND FOR LIES. REALLY SICK OF THIS OTHER CHEEK BUSINESS IN AN UGLY WORLD CORRUPTED TO THE CORE.

THIS ONLY WORKS IF ALL APPLY IT. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU’D LIKE THEM TO DO UNTO YOU. DO NOT DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU DON’T WANT THEM TO DO UNTO YOU. AS SOLOMON BURKE SAYS NONE OF US ARE FREE IF ONE OF US IS CHAINED NONE OF US ARE FREE.

RESPECT ME AND I’LL RESPECT YOU. ASSAULT ME AND I’LL KILL YOU OTHERWISE EVERY OTHER DOG ON EARTH IS GOING TO SMELL FEAR AND WANT MY BLOOD.

SUBMIT SUBMIT SUBMIT! WHY? WHAT DOES IT GIVE? NOTHING AT ALL.

THOSE FAT BASTARDS LIVE LONG AND PROSPER ON TOP OF THAT. WELL SOME OF THEM ANYWAY.

WHEN WILL IT BE ENOUGH?

Here is another cause of hell on earth when one tries to apply the truth in darkness or half a truth anyway

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.

Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.

Col 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.

Col 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.

Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:

Col 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

Col 3:24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Col 3:25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

THIS IS LIKE POWER KILLER TOYS IN THE HANDS OF CHILDREN AND SICK FUCKS!

Pity the woman and the child.

WE ALL FOLLOW THE RULE OR NONE OF US DOES AND FETCHES FOR HIMSELF!

WE NEED SALVATION INDEED!

BUT THE RICH AND POWERFUL DON’T WANT IT, DON’T NEED IT.

IT INTERFERES WITH THEIR INTERESTS!

EVERY TIME YOU HEAR INTERESTS, ESPECIALLY AMERICAN INTERESTS,

HEAR THE REAL WORD NOT THE LIE, CAPITAL INTERESTS AS IN CAPITAL AND INTEREST AS IN $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

AND THAT MY FRIEND WILL KILL YOU IF YOU STAND IN ITS WAY. NO MERCY THERE. NO COMPASSION: A THIN VENEER OF CHRISTIAN LINGO LIKE SAND TO COVER THE BLOOD. FREEDOM AND BULLSHIT WORDS USED TO PULL THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES.

YOU DO NOT SUBMIT TO TYRANTS AND IMPERIALIST PIGS LIKE GANDHI AND MARTIN LUTHER KING YOU PRACTICE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND PASSIVE RESISTANCE. THE LEAST YOU CAN DO TO SAVE YOURSELF AND THIS PLANET. OF COURSE THIS TOO WON’T WORK BUT IT’S A BETTER ALTERNATIVE, IT’S TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK BUT AT LEAST WITH A PURPOSE.

GETTING ARRESTED DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKE YOU THE BAD GUY IN MANY INSTANCES AND CIVIL UNREST IS A MUST IN INJUSTICE.

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Rom 13:2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

What The HELL was Paul smoking back then? Or did I miss something? Well one of us was sleeping through history class anyway.

YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE. OR SO IT SAYS.

UPANISHADS

UPANISHADS: LAYING SIEGE at THE FEET OF THE MASTER!

Sitting at the foot of... being a disciple. What does it all mean? Some were good and some were mediocre and some were just downright bad anyway. All sort of soils at the foot of a master to begin with and that is making a huge assumption that the master, the source is pure already.

I don’t know any other and I kind of like Jesus in his essence, ‘cept maybe for the turning the other cheek business which is getting a little irritating particularly after that cheek has been slapped plenty of times in life by many and largely by a so called master who was nothing but an arrogant lying psychopath: Too many Jones and Koresh out there.

But Jesus in general seems quite cool to me, almost hippy, Peace and Love and Do the Righty, Don’t hurt anyone and love the wretches and watch out for those religious hypocrites. Try to stay clean and don’t lay too much of a burden on your shoulder that’s my job. Just take a walk with me and we’ll be alright. I am gentle and humble.

I somehow wish he’d speak a little clearer at times but hey I can’t have it all. I am just getting a bit tired of parables and riddles and their openness to so many interpretations because everyone knows interpretation is the beginning of evil and rift and war and blood and divisions.

The rest of the so called masters I don’t know them really but if they have something good to say in the line of that messiah bloke I am willing to listen.

Anyway for the sake of concision without circumventing the serious issues here I have other problems with Judeo-Christianity. For one thing that Son of God seems so different from his Father, you sometimes wonder if it was the same Father or what exactly happened to a supposed to be immutable god: Blood and Guts, and Stoning and genocides and incest galore and strange methods of making babies and what else and what not from an eye for an eye to turn the other cheek is a huge internal turmoil of a change. God can’t have a change of heart or go to a retreat now.

Another reason for believing in fact since there is really no rational reason to do so, besides the fact as I mention earlier that there is no justice and retribution in this world and there SHOULD be some somewhere AND One People cannot be the centre of attention and hatred for thousands of years without some force of good and evil highly involved behind that.

Mind you there is no justice or retribution for the antelopes and the fishes and the ants and all the birds and insects out there and they do kill each other left, right and centre under that kind of logic. The rest of nature only turns into manure in fact. Maybe it is our fate too.

But the human spirit certainly doesn’t like this idea plus it creates a whole new set of rules of good and evil and all is good if you don’t get caught attitude so either way we’re back to the jungle.

Maybe oh maybe we’re not only dust in the ground and ashes to ashes but in fact we’re nothing but SHIT. Here is that lovely word again. To think of it we are nothing but STENCH anyway physically and morally. So next time you sit on the throne look down and see and smell your future. J

Paradoxically we feed on each other and shit feeds as well. That nice lamb chop you just had was a cute little curly woolly thing attached to its mother and bleating joyfully and now it’s down your toilet en route to a very stinking processing plant and will return to nature and farmers and you will eat it again in your next tomato sandwich.

THAT’S HOW IT IS! So whether you are a vegan or not don’t change much.

Speaking of one of my most favourite stand as well without being too “décousu” or digressing or rambling but here it goes part b or c of this chapter that has been a couple of places already and hasn’t really explored anything deeply yet and I doubt that it ever will. J

Vegans! Ahhhhhh! Such a nice trend, even posh trend even yuppie trend some would say.

My stand so far is that Jesus, Buddha and Mohamed all ate meat. So why in the world would I be such a hypocrite as to try to be more catholic than the pope himself? For lack of a more universal expression.

And Jesus drank wine also HALLELUJAH! And no Vicky Pollard here please ... YEAH BUT....NO BUT...

Strange how human pride tries to outdo God himself at times; tempted from the beginning to be as gods.

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

If I was to follow a dietary rule I would certainly choose Paul Bragg’s as he is the only one I know that had the proof in the pudding and not only empty words... a witness to his own words.

So here we go: Jesus, Dung and Food.

We’ve covered enough food for thought for now.

1.To lay siege at the feet of a master one has to find the right master to begin with which is not an easy quest and two, one has to have the correct ears, heart and mind (soil) to receive properly. Ever since we were given to choose good or evil for ourselves it has been a gigantic can of worms and a humongous Pandora’s Box.

2. Our physical being is nothing but part of the feeding cycle of this planet. We begin as scum and end as shit. We are impurities, disease breeding disease. This is why we have to either be burned or buried deep like nuclear waste.

3. In our spiritual quest we should not try to outdo the best out there in an arrogant and proud manner. Balance and moderation in everything has its point and starting to decide what is wrong for who is the beginning of hatred and blood pouring.

For instance anti abortion activists who killed doctors and pro Animals activist who kill human beings.

Madness and Mayhem! Pure Folly and Confusion!

Live and Let Live! And let God decide for himself who goes and who stays.

Who do you think you are to establish yourself as the executioner of God?

LOOKING FOR MY ROSE!

Life is but a vapour

To seek for the gold of time , l’or du temps,

seeking for something precious and rare in the ethereal times

not minding the times but the eternities

passing by like a pilgrim on earth

Funny time in my life where any decoration and construction plans seem so vain when in fact these people are probably much happier than I am and feel more productive and fulfilled while I am singing Dirt in the Ground.

Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

feeling like a dying man, a dead man yet alive and maybe alive for many years to come who knows ...

A pilgrim does not carry a big complicated tent.

I feel like a stranded St-Exupery with a broken down plane in the desert awaiting my Little Prince to enlighten me on the secrets of Life. On ne voit bien qu’avec les yeux du Coeur!

"On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux." ("It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye."

You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed"

and

"It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important."

LOOKING FOR MY ROSE

Title of what I am writing but what I am writing is nothing but the gleanings of many before me

A PILGRIM AND A GLEANER

Very humbly I am just like Vincent in Don Mc Lean's song...too beautiful for this world LOL

Us bipolar and mutants

Good thing though the whole world is not like me. T‘would be utter chaos and mayhem if all were beatniks and hippies. But I am sure the world can use more of us though to counterbalance to all the vain and destructive action out there.

but we will never win the scale war though, the tug of war

maybe only for the simple and stupid reason that evil cheats and evil and ignorance will never disappear some people simply don't WANNA KNOW maybe even most people.

Something wrong about the 2 false assumptions here but a similitude of truth in either

Only the good die young

And only the good live long and prosper

when in fact many at the end of the dark spectrum die of old age in peace.

1Sa 26:21 Then said Saul, I have sinned: return, my son David: for I will no more do thee harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day: behold, I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.

I have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly.DON’T WE ALL?

Des mots tendres Des mots lourds

Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire. (do these two words give you goosebumps too? Cold shivers? Yeah I know fire and cold together)

Son 1:7 Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?

Psa 116:7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the LORD hath dealt bountifully with thee.

Ecc 8:15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Luk 12:2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.

Luk 12:3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.

Luk 12:4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

Luk 12:5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

It doesn’t matter if this night is tonight, tomorrow night or in 30 years from now

There is a much longer and darker night coming if I don’t take heed to this.

30 years in an eternity is the blink of an eye, a vapour.

Why am I so HEAVY all the time though?

I know Sol said

Ecc 7:2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

Ecc 7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

Ecc 7:4 The heart of the wise isin the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

But....party on Garth is not that great apparently when you re dancing on the Titanic.

Ok there’s gotta be a right balance between des mots tendres et des mots lourds, Tender Words and Heavy Words and YES there is certainly a place for Witty and Humorous Words as well, we couldn’t live without them.

But a lack or imbalance of heavy words though seems to lead to chaos and mayhem, Sodom and Gomorrah, Back to the Future II,

where too many heavy words usually lead you to an early demise by an angry mob.

Same things apply to children and dogs and criminals in fact. Leniency does not always pay. Here’s Jack and his wisdom again.

Mankind is like dogs, not gods - as long as you don't get mad they'll bite you - but stay mad and you'll never be bitten. Dogs don't respect humility and sorrow.

The cataclysm of my heart surgery, the realisation full face of my mortality, has catalysed a nuclear fission in my already unstable mind and created a domino effect of all my disorders.

Like one ping pong ball thrown on a floor entirely covered with mouse trap catapulting more ping pong balls.

And one of the results of this I guess is this very “interesting” for lack of a better word, or fascinating as Spock would say, EXISTENTIALIST CRISIS, paradoxically an Existentialist Crisis which is not really existentialist at its core since I seem to be bouncing back from that magnetic field lately and go to a “deeper” meaning, a greater justice, a search for answers on life and love and good and evil and justice and retribution and GRACE being greater than Karma! (As someone said already, as I said repeatedly I am only a Gleaner) Those pseudo intellectuals at times can be so intimidating.

Anyway let’s keep exploring this the best thing I can think of.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars, and in the middle, you see the blue center-light pop, and everybody goes ahh..."

TheAirWasSoftTheStarsSoFineThePromiseOfEveryCobbledAlleySoGreat

I want to work in revelations, not just spin silly tales for money. I want to fish as deep down as possible into my own subconscious in the belief that once that far down, everyone will understand because they are the same that far down.

R.I.P. Jack Kerouac.

You’ve been resting for 40 years now but made sure none of us would rest after you.

Good on Ya Mate!

And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:

Luk 12:17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?

Luk 12:18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.

Luk 12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, andbe merry.

Luk 12:20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

Luk 12:21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Luk 12:22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.

Luk 12:23 The life is more than meat, and the body is morethan raiment.

Luk 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Luk 12:25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?

Luk 12:26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?

Luk 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Luk 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?

Luk 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

Luk 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
