More Thoughts on Polyamory

We exist on many levels. These levels are not discrete, of course. But on each level a particular aspect of OurSelves is saliently expressed.
Generally, we live on the Physical, Emotional, Mental and and Soul levels.

I suppose if one is very evolved and integrated those levels are all in almost perfect balance and one will attract a Mate who is likewise balanced on all of those levels such that the two of you resonate perfectly on all of those levels.
The sex will be ATOMIC.
You will intuit one another's feelings effortlessly.
You will be within the same IQ range, standard deviations taken into account, of course.
You will be very similar in your Moral and Spiritual achievements and will spur one another on to develop maximally and your developments will continue to complement and supplement one another's so that you grow ever closer, not further apart.
Under said conditions, I would be Monogamous.

When you get there. Let me know. No bullshitting now.

In the meantime, let's be realistic. We are likely not going to meet anyone who is going to fulfill all of these requirements and if we try to be all of that for another person we are going to live in constant stress of not being able to and becoming a disappointment.
So, what we do is: We settle for someone who fulfills our most urgent needs and sacrifice the rest.

The Age of Sacrifice needs to come to an end.

If one can find someone on any ONE of these levels hold on to that person and keep them in your Life for as long as you can.
Keep each of the people who fulfill you on any ONE of those levels in your Life.

I believe we have Mates on each of those levels.
My Mate on the level of my Body is someone who, get ready now you probably won't believe this, can nary compose a sentence without spelling errors. He's a manual laborer. He's a hick.
I left him because I had to pursue the development of all of my other levels. No one told me to hold on to dear life if you find someone who is perfect for you on *any* of your levels and love and appreciate what that person can give you and find others who are perfect for you on the other levels.

I put someone I loved dearly behind me and went on to "develop my higher orders of being" because no one told me: You can, and should, LOVE *ALL* OF THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED ON WHATEVER LEVEL THEY GIVE IT. APPRECIATE THEM AND HOLD ON TO THEM FOR DEAR LIFE.

No one told me that's kosher. So, I'm telling you.

Ontological Anarchy

I realized that the world we are living in, characterized such as it is by central governments, originates in and is fueled by our insistence upon viewing the world as though we are at the center of our consciousness and all others and else are viewed from that vantage point.

When We come to see ourSelves as *both* beings in and of ourSelves: real, actual, whole and with Our own integrity but also as aspects of all others, We will likewise create a decentralized world system.

Nullifying the ego enough to be able to dissolve into seeing oneSelf as an aspect of others, from their point of view, does not bring about obliteration of the Self. We simply become able to be both actual and perceived, real and a perception. Think particle and wave if it helps.

When We realize ourSelves as aspects of all the Others, We see around Us, We realize that any thought that arises in Our minds, any moment that arises in our Hearts, likewise arises in all Others - to varying extents of immediate awareness.
The thinker of the highest, purest, most loving thoughts, the originator of the tenderest and most sincere feelings is manifesting on the highest levels of reality and is broadcasting on orders of magnitude higher than those who hatch evil schemes.
So, let's pay attention to the Beautiful and strengthen it with Our Collective Attention. Let's share Our best thoughts and Our purest feelings One with Another and We will banish the world that was created when the majority of us were ego-centered quite naturally and as a matter of course.

 חג הפסח: ברית חדשה לאוהבי ודורשי חרות וצדק

אני אנרכיסטית. הווי אומר: המרחב מלטף אותי נגד הכיוון. הזמן נמתח כמו מסטיק. כוח הכבידה מעיק עלי בעליל.

כל החוקים הקיימים, עליהם לא הסכמנו יחד ואותם 'אסור' לשנות – חייבים לעמוד לבחינה מחודשת. אחדים מהם יבוטלו. יש הטעונים תיקון יסודי. אחרים נוכל לפרש מחדש; וכל אלה יישארו אתנו רק כל עוד הם משרתים אותנו.

לא, אינני מתלוצצת או לועגת ואינני מתבטאת בדימויים. לא נוכל להרכיב מערכת משופרת על הסדר הקיים ביקום – המאופיין במוגבלויות והרבה יותר סתום מאשר גלוי, ולכן מעיק עלינו במשקלו ויוצר העדפה לעבדות ולמרמה.

אכן, אני משוכנעת כי בידינו לשנות את חוקי היקום. יותר מזה, אני יודעת כי אנו אמורים לעשות זאת ומחויבים לעסוק בזה.

לכך, חבריי, מתכוון הביטוי 'ברית חדשה': "הִנֵּה יָמִים בָּאִים, נְאֻם ה', וְכָרַתִּֽי אֶת-בֵּית יִשְרָאֵל וְאֶת-בֵּית יְהוּדָה בְּרִית חֲדָשָׁה," [ירמיהו, לא ל]. וזהו פירושו האמיתי של סדר פסח.

אדם המגביל את מחשבותיו ואת שאיפותיו המהפכניות לרמה של 'רצון לשנות את המבנה החברתי-כלכלי' בלבד, נעשה פגיע לרעיונות דוגמאטיים ואף רודניים. בנקודה מסוימת יבין המהפכן המסור והרציני ביותר כי עלינו לשנות את עצם מבנה המציאות. אין לקבל את החוקים המגבילים בהם מונהג היקום. עלינו לבטל אותם – או לפחות לרענן אותם ולחדש את פירושם, כדי להרחיב את אופקיהם ולהגביר את גמישותם.

על מהפכה להיות אונטולוגית, לטפל במהויות היסודיות – אם לא, היא איננה ראויה להיקרא 'מהפכה' כלל.

אין מקום לשינוי 'השיטה' וחוקי המדינות עד שינוי חוקי היקום. חוקי המדינות (מערכות סחר) הם השתקפות תפיסתנו את מקומנו בבריאה. אין גורם מלבדנו המקרין אל הבריאה חוקים התומכים, מתחזקים ומצדיקים עבדות. לא נוכל, כך בפשטות, להרכיב חברה צודקת יותר מבחינה חברתית-כלכלית על גבי יקום הנותן יתרון לשחיתות. כל הצעה טובה שנעלה תושחת. אפילו המדענים תפסו כי הכרתנו היא הגורמת לדבר הנקרא קריסת קוואנטים של כל 'אפשרי' אל 'ממשי' שלנו; לכן, מתפקידנו לשנות את דרך הפעולה של לבבינו וחשיבתנו וליצור מציאות זאת. עד שלא נעשה כך, כל ניסיון לשינוי המערכת החברתית-כלכלית יהיה עקר. עלינו לשנות את חשיבתנו ובעיקר את לבבינו.

הילכך אני חוזרת וקוראת לקיים את מצווֹת שנת השמיטה לפרטיהן, ולהפסיק למעשה לחלוטין את עיבוד הקרקע בשנה זאת. גידולי-מים (הידרופוניקה ואקואפוניקה) ואויר (אירופוניקה) לסוגיהם מותרים. כמו כן, וביתר שאת, יש לבטל את כל ההלוואות ולא להמשיך בתשלומי-חובות מכל וכל. זינוק אדיר כזה ברמת אמונתנו ישיב ללבבותינו ולמחשבותינו את הכוח להקים מציאות טובה יותר.

YES. I'M CRAZY ENOUGH TO THINK I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.

Yes. I'm crazy enough to think I can change the world. And when I say change the world, I don't mean just create a better socio-economic structure within the world such as it is, while leaving the "laws of nature" intact. AND I'm crazy enough to think you can change the world too.

When I say change the world, I mean to change the entire nature of being. My idea of a New World Order is just that - a more liberal Existence, a more just Creation.

I'd go so far as to say that so long as we accept the "laws of nature" such as they present themselves to our consciousness, we are milling water when we try to institute radically better systems. The currently accepted "laws of nature" are weighted against us. They favor enslavement.

Those really aren't laws of nature at all. They are the result of our how our minds and moral structures work. It is we who are currently making reality line up around us thus.

To change the world, we must change our moral structures significantly and jettison our preconceived notions about, well, just about everything.

The rejection of the current "laws of nature", based as they are on low-grade morality which we both attribute to all of nature and which determine how we attract phenomena to us is what I call Mystical Anarchy.

Because most Anarchists reject all mysticism, they are never going to get a better socio-economic structure of the ground. Their rejection of laws extend only to the rejection of those laws they realize are man-made, not realizing that ALL laws are man-made. We cannot artificially transplant a just socio-economic system on a reality that is reflecting our own malevolence. We have to transmute that malevolence to benevolence and then ALL laws will be on a higher, more liberal, more elastic level.

I'm also convinced that the gateway to breaking out of our attachment to these laws is finding the courage to stop payment of all loans and taxes and unjust charges.

That we cannot do alone. We have to organize.

When They Tell You that You Have No Right to The Land, No Right to the Covenant, No Claims on Eternity

When they say to you: "You have no right to the Land after 2000 years! –or- "Your Covenant has ended!" –or-Your Tradition may have been relevant long ago, but it has no relevance to modern times!", what they are saying is:
"I am so blind that all I perceive is that you look European. I cannot see the Hebrew in you beneath the outer features. Had I sustained as many rapes and assimilating unions due to brainwash as your People have, there would be no trace of my Original Identity in me. I cannot conceive of surviving such a protracted Test.
I have not been found worthy and fit of eternal trust. I cannot keep, or even imagine, fealty forever. I could not keep up my end of an Eternal Covenant. I cannot be relied upon without end. After a finite amount of time, under finite pressure; I would give up what is most precious to me. I refuse to imagine anyone being found so morally sound as to remain loyal to their Promise forever. Therefore, you cannot possibly be a Party to a Covenant that is Eternal."
Don't listen to their characteristic shrieks, with their strident and shrill tone at all Israel. Don't listen at all. They are saying that, though they have been offered Eternity; they have chosen empherality. They have chosen to perish and perish they will by their own indictment. They too shall pass away and our Covenant will endure forever.
Those who have been kind and loving enough to themselves to deem themselves worthy of Eternity will see and honor it and protect it in us as we will in them.

Deep Dark Diaspora

A very deep and dark level of the Diaspora is when they've got us so disconnected from who we are that we become a simulation, or worse, a parody, of OurSelves - when the Hebrews become Jew-ish and the Irish become Eire-ish, for example.

We've reached that abysmal level of Diaspora and being cut off from OurSelves when we begin to undertake study of our culture and language as subjects with an air of anthropological objectivity and having to satisfy course requirements as per the instructors' instructions: Jewish studies, Aboriginal studies, Black studies, Celtic language studies, Women's studies are examples. When an Irishman or Irishwoman in the Diaspora enrolls in a college course to learn how to be Irish and how to speak Irish - that person is DEEP in the Diaspora.
When we behold our Culture and our Languages with the desire to connect with them and, concomitantly, observe them with detached objectivity, as though they are a smear on a slide, we are far, far down into the Diaspora.
It's OK to learn about other cultures, of course, but when one learns about one's own culture in a university; the Diaspora is deep and very dark.

Then, as they do to the Jews, adding insult to injury; they tell you that you are not who and what you claim to be. They tell you that you are some kind of imposter. They will soon do this to the Irish and to the Aboriginals and to the Tibetans. They haven't done it yet because your Diaspora is not long enough yet. You still have too much genetic memory. But as you assimilate, they will do this to you. So, stop the process now.
