CHAPTER
3
If
we stop looking for “persons of superior morality”(1)
(hsien) to put in power, there will be no more jealousies among
the people.
If
we cease to set store by products that are hard to get, there will be
no more thieves. If the people never see such things as excite
desire, their hearts will remain placid and undisturbed. Therefore
the Sage rules
By
emptying their hearts
And
filling their bellies
Weakening
their intelligence
And
toughening their sinews
Ever
striving to make the people knowledgeless and desireless.
Indeed,
he sees to it that if there be any who have knowledge, they dare not
interfere.
Yet
through his actionless activity all things are duly regulated.
(1)
the accepted
translation for [Chinese character] is “the worthy”, “a
superiorman”.
Waiting
for the laptop battery to recharge, the eyes spied Lao Zi, sitting in
the corner.
So,
Reverent, reaching for Moral Sustenance, amidst gross raving lunatic
immorality farther up the track, in the air, pouring down in
indistinct shadowy form, to cover the cart, concentrated in the local
“show”, the hand reached out and took up His Te Ching, to have it
fold open at the above superior lines (Page 7).
So
much, when others knew of my fabricated reputation, but were sworn to lie, these
lines of Lao Zi were challenged, by those endarkened minds from the
Christian orphanages [schools] of Fatherless souls.
Being
of the mememe teachings, of the Fatherless western creed scribed by
the left handed, lost souls raged against - to them - the indefinable
truths, written so long before their own master was crucified -
before they crucified their own master - …..indefinable truths...,
written by a humble and simple living Master of the East, Lao Zi.
Impossible
for desire-filled hearts to decipher, decrepit and
developmentally-redarded, the orphanages of Christ sent endless
armies of flawed soldiers to an early demise, merely and laughably to put truth to
death, for it being too much a challenge to their ignorance.
But
alas! So deep was their ignorance, they were by it, blinded to the
truth that the truth cannot be slain. Yet again and again the
clerics sent forth fodder - zombies - for the truth to devour.
Ignorance
is insular, parochial, myopic, looking only so far as to stay
comforted, and if drawn, sent or forced to look further, goes mad -
madder even than it is already - rages rabid-insane against any it
sees of greater content, of unsettling portent, of wider perspective,
or larger Intelligence, and seeks, though in futility, to destroy
truth and everything outside it's own comfort zone, outside it's
purring fanny.
Alas!
Rome! Israel! The Mason!
“BUILD!
GROWTH! EXPAND!” “BUILD! GROWTH! EXPAND!”
“Keep
ours' and our slaves' minds and hands occupied, merely so they don't
THINK and cease to act of the lunacy we “BUILD! GROW! EXPAND!”
And procreate!
And
pray lord keep us from admitting to the destruction we've built,
grown and expanded into our faith???
“BUILD!
GROWTH! EXPAND!” “BUILD! GROWTH! EXPAND!”
And
keep the search alive, for the NEXT “person of superior morality”,
that we may in overt prayer, and in covert pride, bow to them, and
say to ourselves that WE elected them, so that (to ourselves we say)
“we may continue to “BUILD! GROW! EXPAND!” in mad fever,
fearing of ever bending low and submitting to Fate, in saying out
loud, and to ourselves, “WE ARE LOST! Astray! Liars! And now see
and seek first, The Freedom of admission to having lost The Road Map,
all those millennia ago!”
And
O! But to see that the “person of superior morality” is but
within us, should we be so humble as to look, is deep inside us,
resting, hiding, waiting, for us to divest our skins and bones, our
eyes and features, of this whorey deceit of false whiteguy pride, of
possession, of power and of purpose, to do naught but “BUILD! GROW!
EXPAND!” and in truth to destroy, to stay forever mindless of our
worldly ignorance!
And
so it went, we were stopped from looking back, from looking deeper,
beyond the veil draped over the Tao of Being those millennia ago, in
Israel, in Rome, in Londinium, and in Sodom and Gomorrah!
“Must
it have been so?
Must
we draw our lost mind, our delusional dream so near the edge of the
bottomless cliff, and with it, leap off, before we can lose that
demon pride, thus shed the veneer of egomania and wantwantwant, for
mememe?
To
be, O! But just to Be?
Can
we, whiteguy, be so humble?”
The
Sage, resting in the Nothingness of His Own Tao, hears all, and stirs
to laugh.
“'Tis
the only way, whiteguy!
Your
own cult Master, it's written, said as much!
Why
then, do you not read it, [“...Give away all...”] nor speak it,
[“...your...”] nor listen to His advice, [“....possessions...”]
so that you UNDERSTAND it?
O!
the veil!” The veil of possessions!
So
lost, so veiled, so off the Golden Path are you, your ancient, most
Hallowed Books give no guidance into your own Lord Tao!
So
off the Path are you, you revere them even though they are in-the-main records of your errors, of your folly, of your cultures' crimes, of
your distraction into nothing but war, and you praise them? You
build cities and nations in praise of books?
And,
cripplingly mindless of your foolishness, you repeat them and chant
them, sing them and preach them to the blind, over and over?
And
most evil of all..., you denounce and demonize and exile and stone
those who speak strongest of both your ignorance, and of Tao!
“If
we stop looking for “persons of superior morality” to put in
power, there will be no more jealousies among the people.”
Time
the new Israelis and new Romans began to disavow their own illusions!
Were
it not so late, indeed, too late, good fruit may be grown?
But
as ignorance has been eating of it's own fruit for millennia, to
build grow expand it's own destroyers, Tao sees an end
to this epoch, and smiles a Universal laugh.
