i had to do a careful reading of john evangelist for my greek class, and the miracles are pretty lamer -- either vegas stuff or just worded in to look as cool as some other religion's slight of hand. people like to believe.
imagine then, that this guy -- and i actually knew two that fit the bill -- capricorn right, and both from very mother-oriented families -- both "artists" when it worked for them, but both really looking for that special girl who'll make them feel special by feeling special and all... and impressed -- we're talking about a guy from a small village coming to the big city -- full of earthly wisdom and a knowledge of grain and fish -- and they'll say anything to make you believe in their belief. one might say that jesus, had he not been done in, might have become a novelist... had he known how to read and write more than one letter.
so, this one, then, represents the good of villages, and kindness to the owners of animals -- including the owners of slaves -- if the owner's heart is in the right place. but, "right place" is the problem. jesus and christianity was invented for a specific time. the only reason it works is because we're all still lower class, ignorant and greedy, doofs, and the message is that we'll come out on top if we just sit still and take it like a ( christian ) man.
i'd rather be a dumb poet: it's about swimming, for me. floating is an air thing.

well, staying beneath the surface is the requirement but working on
many levels also means being able to stay afloat. i'm dumb as dumb
could get and i don't get so many things, too. jeezuss served his time
well for his era. to write is one urge and maybe he opted to speak instead.

there's many concurrent times in each era, and the jesus thing, at that time, was so that people locked into slavery forever -- the underjoes' who were the substance of the roman economic miracle -- could feel that time was on their side. jesus isn't for us, cause he'd want to hang with us and find out how to say things better. then, later, when he became pro-consul, he'd have us put in camps.

yeah, he could most probably have. money is good till the good
it can do for the last thing we need. excess is occasionally good,
too, i admit. self-discipline is most important and the hardest thing
to practise.
jeesuzz/catholicism/christianity still works and reaps
for whatever it's worth today.

the focus for me though is that we invent in our writing, and we can invent jesus too, just like paul did, but in our redemption there's always a space after heaven.

we only invent ourselves in writing or art, or it's just
art/nature reinventing itself all the same.
focus, focus, cactus, er focus...

the sky gods were seen by the ancients, but seen as events caused by conscious entities. what pre-literate people can do is to hold that it's ok to fear and ok to love -- hold these two opinions at the same time. the star, the god of light, the demon destructor -- the comet venus which came so close to the earth, causing destruction and the chance of freedom for the slaves -- that entity was seen and named by every culture. the end isn't near -- the end ended a few thousand years ago. now it's back to gradualisim and the simple cooling of the earth and the changing of the landscapes. it would be said, then, that lucifer was put in his place by colliding with mars, and stabilizing its orbit as the planet venus.

Didn't we just know that joey would have to have a birthday lasting a whole month so he can have a enough time to be showered with gifts and greetings from all of those who truly love and adore the wonderful little man.
