The problem is class.


It always has been class.


It always will be, class is the problem.


Focus, damn it.


Very glad to read your comment. My Big Domme has worked with Chris Cooper, who she likes.

Today is her 67th birthday. She coproduced the first American art film on Frida Kahlo. I swept the SF Mission Dist for new Frida kitsch. Found some loverly stuff.

I'm not such a Frida fan.

Once, a long time ago, there was a wise Zen master. People from far and near would seek his counsel and ask for his wisdom. Many would come and ask him to teach them, enlighten them in the way of Zen. He seldom turned any away.One day an important man, a man used to command and obedience came to visit the master. “I have come today to ask you to teach me about Zen. Open my mind to enlightenment.” The tone of the important man’s voice was one used to getting his own way.

The Zen master smiled and said that they should discuss the matter over a cup of tea. When the tea was served the master poured his visitor a cup. He poured and he poured and the tea rose to the rim and began to spill over the table and finally onto the robes of the wealthy man. Finally the visitor shouted, “Enough. You are spilling the tea all over. Can’t you see the cup is full?”

The master stopped pouring and smiled at his guest. “You are like this tea cup, so full that nothing more can be added. Come back to me when the cup is empty. Come back to me with an empty mind.”



Oh, and for the record, Jesus hates a pussy.

Ok on Zen but Jesus was ok with Mary Magdalen. Not that it matters.

I know. The Jesus thing is from a book I read while recovering from surgery several years ago. An ATF agent was infiltrating a MC that was moving some weight. Thing is, he hated riding - he was terrified. He would psych himself up for a run by telling himself that Jesus hates a pussy. It appealed to my cockeyed sense of humor.


Jesus was okay with people. It was his job, if you will. It's something I'll never have the hang of, but I do get the part about being of service to his kids, so I do/am.


It does matter.

Pay your respects to the Gods and Buddhas, never rely on them.
Musashi

That makes Wat a lower diety. God of Rust Never Sleeps (say hey hey my my and genuflect).


Jesus said some worthwhile things. He encouraged people to see things as they really are. His viewpoint is more eastern than what it is claimed to be today. Three hundred years later, his claimed followers had their Nicene Reckoning and showed us all who really rant the show.
 
I'm not even that sure he was a real person.

The shit they wrote down was after-the-fact.

He was of little note. Sounds "made up..."

Allah, Buddha, Beelzebub, A boy named Sue

A thing wielded against children and ignorant.

The kind you have to wind up on Sunday...
 
I have lived with several different approaches to the whole thing. It takes a lot of sieving to find the message in what is claimed that Jesus said. Based on the tradition of the time, he could well have existed and they got the kernel of the Message in what they wrote. At worst, it teaches us how not to play the game. In a better way, it shows what is important and what isn't.


Pascal had a point.


I have found that the actions are what is important. They have worked - for me. The Ultimate Existence doesn't matter - I'm not there - yet.
