What do you find worthwhile in the Abrahamic
tradition?
The question requires answering a broader Big Question, What do Earthfolk
find worthwhile in Religious Big Stories?
We focus on the Abrahamic Big Story because it is
source for the Secular and Scientism Big Stories that synergistically
created the special space and time for the Manhattan Project ritual
of creatively imagining and dropping the Atomic Bomb, so making manifest
and present the Warrior's Quest vision and imagination.
However, this is a matter of historical accident,
so to speak. It is possible that even Taoism could have been sculpted
by the patriarchal dynamism of Eastern cultures to make, say China,
what "America" became. This is a bit of historical fantasy, but the
point is that all extant religious Big Stories have been interpreted
by the "four themes." In an
"alternative history" scenario, predatory Hinduism with a Lone Male
Tantrism could be driving globalization today. The West just happens
to have unleashed the Warrior's Quest, plainly and fiercely.
So, when we look at any Religious Big Story and its
tradition and its "sacred book(s)" we, long ago, decided that we
would not try to reform or re-imagine these traditions, e.g., reimagining
the
Abrahamic
Biblical story of Genesis. Not, at least,
to make them "acceptable" so that others could go on
practicing Lone Male ways.
For all "sacred book(s)," we simply
have put the Book aside in respect to
our personal journey. Clearly, we have to engage Lone Male theology
and
practices,
so it's not that we do not contend intellectually with it.
We all live immersed in the Abrahamic tradition, religiously
and secularly. This may sound, at first glance, like Western chauvinism,
but after August 6, 1945 no Religious Big Story or tradition remained
relevant to the New Age ushered in by the vaporization of humans
at Hiroshima.
A fundamental Earthfolk claim is that the Secular
and Scientism Big Stories descended from the Abrahamic Big Story.
We
simply
no
longer practice, pray or meditate according to the Abrahamic
tradition—which includes adherence to the Secular and
Scientism Big Stories which are, in our sight, still driven
by the Lone
Male Warrior's
Quest for dominion and domination.
