I know that by the time this post comes out, it will no longer be Easter. That's part of the beauty of my new blogging format. I write what I want, when I want, and then just throw it into the queue. If it counts for anything, I am writing this on Easter. Does that give it some extra street-cred?
Anyway, I went for a bit of run today. Spring is doing it's best to break winter's grasp and it's making me feel edgy, in a good way. I am getting that just-about-to-be-released feeling, like a quarter horse bumping against the gate.
5 miles of jamming the tunes, running with and then against the wind, and thinking. Since it's Easter, my thoughts went in that direction and modern Christianity reminded me of this Bruce Lee clip:
Jesus was the finger, pointing to the heavens.
He taught about the gods including Hermes and Apollo but believed there was one power or god above even them. A god that was completely heavenly as opposed to the materialness of the world. He believed that enlightened people were the link between heaven and earth and provided himself as an example of what everyone could achieve if they tried. He wanted them all to realize the godliness within themselves and have them touch heaven.
Instead, they are concentrating on the finger and missing all the heavenly glory.
He taught people to think and it wasn't until money and politics entered the scene hundreds of years later that dogma and weird earthy rules were applied and a "religion" created.
Tying back to the latest Sword Point post, I believe that with the Age of Aquarius, more people will start to look where Jesus was pointing. First, we have to somehow get them to drop out of the Great Church of the Consumerism. That will probably be much harder than getting them to listen to what Jesus was trying to tell them and will likely get a blog post or two on its own somewhere down the road.
Until then, I'm going to enjoy a fun Easter day of gathering plastic eggs and flying kites just like the 12 apostles did oh so long ago where the eggs on the ground symbolized the earth and the kite in the sky symbolized heaven and the kid holding the kite represented the link between heaven and earth. I know that in my case, my son is a little piece of heaven and watching him today will make my spirit soar.
