In the cuase of effectual living or effective training, we lose sight of our with to transcend or be righteous or just. How is it? We thus try to transform events and not be at the trough ourself just as we try to transcent our own risk of taking it to our own sense of worth or doing or action. What this means, as in Christ’s crucifixion–that’s when he became Christ to be as he was nailed–, we do it ourself and transform ourself and all others. We transform when we are not simply effective agents but when we shift our point of view, perspective, to match that of others and lauch a new point of view. Christ did this by saying we should not die for each other, not dye either, but transform and shift with each new position or event: Buddhist habit of change as I call it and Christ was the first to articulate it world wide and the leading Christian forefathers locked it in to place again as he judged they would when he call a Pharisse a father with out a lamb charge. Lambs run like crazy and are never caught unless their mother calls for them by bleating a call that is different for each (On line at Sheep.com ).
On “Prissive’ Day and I call it “Permissive” Day, to articulate a distinction I prefer, I like old with new: Christ Knew with the Kings, that he would die, also at Passover and again at Gesthemane, but he tried for 33 years to outwit it. Mary Magdalene did as well if the Hag Namagaddi Scriptures are to be read again and translated with the new scripte developed recently at Harvard under new tutelage other than Elaine Pagel’s attempt to counter every criticism in the world. Not to get me wrong, I like what she has attempted single-handedly to do, but she argues too much and does not simply interprete. I prefer interpretation as it tells the story and does not simply aruge for position among scholars. Christ did this and changed the way we view authority and religious exploration, but he gave in as we all do not so today when we can’t change any more, we hide. He tried but was found sixty-six days after he entered Jeruselum. He found him the Disciples if the Hag Namagaddi is correct. They gave in again and Mary his mother gave in but not Magdelene who went out and was beaten and raped by Roman, and sect followers and sect against sect protagonists. She worshiped and loved him. Why his mother, for she was perfect.
“Permissive” Day is when the old meets the new and gives way; Christ brought the old to the new and gave in.
Bring the old to the new and don’t give way and we’ll have Buddhist change for all seasons for when we transform the old to fit a new perspective or position then we have the best of both worlds as Christ was trying to bring about with Mary Magdalene at his side. I grieve both and watch in consternation the look of Passive (?) Christ on the Cross: I believe he worshiped life and worshiped Mary and her trust for and in him: she would have given anything to be with him and did: took on abuse was raped, foridden and hid. He escaped and she stayed and I respect her for that she did not give in to consciousness of that time but transformed and even gave him her grave and was buried unknown. I wish for her a “Permissive” Future of trust and loveliness for all times as she has transformed more than any one I know. Buddhist learned from her I believe when they said, all sentient beings for in her scripture if the Hag Namaddi is correct that we are all sentient beings, all knowing and I learned this from Christ when he died on the Cross and even gave up his mother and not me. He knew she was wrong expecting perfection and Mary was perfect: Christ allowed her to be that’s why the Church, Roman Catholic especially, but all churches respect her and worship her and I am troubled by her and was as a child: “What does she got to do with anything: they (my family) all want me to be perfect and I don’t want to be.” I add now, they wanted my perfection so they could act according to hidden desires that they would never make known, Secrets??? I don’t believe so, rather image making that Michanelle and Cortez participated in and bequeathed to us only 1700 years after Mary the Perfect was known. I resent his mother and find her frail and not far-reaching but pedantic for the rest of civilization: who wants to be perfect, Mao was and destroyed his culture and Tibet too. Who wants their culture destroyed: Michanelle and Cortez who wanted to be together and shape the Empire. Whose? Well his of course and free those like her except what did she know of politics and engines of commerce except that they used her and how was she to learn if they in power didn’t let her in. They did as Cortez’s minstrel interpretator and as his sometimes Mistress as she prefered if her Codices at the Museum and not the Biblioteqea are to be prefered as her letter of late, the one to Montezeuma at her resignation is to be beheld as the final oracle on her truths. I believe she wrote it to give simplicity to her life and left because she knew she was doom, the weeping eye of the last translator: I have my freedom, Michanelle wrote, Cortez gave it to me at the Bath House. What if she had left him? She could have been captured and then seized but I believe Tulum would have stopped the conquistadoras for a half century and then they could have moved and left, the Mezas. But who is to know which is the truth with the Bath House Codices underwater.
Christ left us a legacy, so did Michanelle and Cortez but what of our truths that say adventure of consciousness is limited and so is fucking and rape as Mary knew when she literally, if Hag Namagaddi is to be bespoken, crawaled to him on hands and knees and said stay hidden and he wrapped her up and healed her then left. What a legacy: Empire and Death all.
“Permissive” Day asks us to undue bespoken truths and let in the new as Buddhists do with consciousness change and karma awareness. What do we have of these in our lives?
