The ultimate sin of monotheism is the denial of our intuition and the manipulation of our perceptual lenses (beliefs). Our parents were programmed to look at the world as them and us. Competitive consumerism demands a winner…top dog. But there is a crack in the cosmic egg and some of us have been blessed/cursed with the vision of caring and sharing...togetherness. The truth is that we are all children of this earth. We can choose to share the wonder of it all OR we can fence it, possess it and own it. (What is your choice?) The human spirit truly reflects the profound cosmic resonance that gives the beat to our heart and the rhythm to our breath. Our nature is to be honest and trusting but our karma (cultural institutions) betrays us. We are taught to search for enlightenment in our intellect when in fact it is our intellect that betrays us. Monotheism is NOT passive. It demands conformity and in the process cultivates conflict. It isn’t so much the ONE GOD bull shit but the PUT NO OTHER GOD BEFORE ME crap. Look at the Jews, Christians and Muslims fighting it out…all from the same mold…my way or the highway. If we need a fundamental conceptual paradigm let it be Mother Nature. We don’t need to stick our heads in the sky looking for salvation. We need to firmly plant our feet on Mother Earth and to plant seeds of sharing and caring, we need to use our arms to pull the weeds of competition, exploitation and imperialism... and above all we need to use our arms to love and hug each other. ...the nature in human nature is Mother Nature and the mother of nature is the garden!
