Under-Currents and Over-Tones

                                        We are looking at two Primal" "Conditions" :  the Condition of Starvation and the Condition of Thirst .   Righteous (awkward but appropriate) Americans [the 60%] who not only Oppose trump but who actually Protest [Revolt] against trumpism and who are STARVED for an UN-CORRUPTED Democracy and THIRST for a Political Altruism that will COMPASSIONATELY respond to the "Demands of the Time" which includes not only internal socio-economic registers but external {masochistic} Foreign Policies .   In both Instances-the Peoples have voiced their OUTRAGE and FURY --  but to little Effect since the FASCIST Dictators of both are HELL-BENT to maintain the Present Day Status Quo(s) of both Nations .

                          Uhhhh Houston  --Erbil ?   We have a problem .

"Soften the Glare"

                                         What are we Global Citizens looking at ?   Iranians "took it to the streets" to Protest their Status Quo -- a Status Quo that has ABJECTLY FAILED to supply (Provide) even the BAREST of Subsistence {Primal} Necessities --Food and Water--, and further: a Government that has SUMMARILY REJECTED  the Populace's unremitting CRAVING for a Modernization (dare I say Revolution ?) that has as ITS Foundation a >Future< that entails TRUE Liberty ---where Liberty is FREEDOM from the chains, bonds and shackles of religious zealotry --- the Liberty I will tag as "Soft" Islamism >>> the one of PRE-Hijrah Majesty .

Brotherhood of Suffering

                                   To feed my own very selfish insanity I will draw parallels between the Iranian People's non-response to trump's "Invitation" to "take over" their Government, and the quasi-non-response of the American People(s) who also find themselves in an "Impossible" Situation .   The Situation is defined as "Impossible" because both sets of Peoples are completely SURROUNDED by Government Forces "HELL-BENT" on seeking nothing less that TOTAL CONTROL of the Minds and Bodies of Its Citizens who Demand CHANGE .   How can both sets of Peoples survive  "in the face" of a Dictator who has issued orders to "Shoot to KILL " ?

"Diana"

                                      We say that "Truth HURTS" ...  

                      "The remembered image is not only benign, however;  [She can be] "the bad mother too---(1) the absent unattainable mother, against whom aggressive fantasies are directed, and from whom a counter-aggression is feared:   (2)  The hampering, forbidding, punishing mother;  (3) the mother who would hold to herself the growing child trying to push away; (4) the desired but forbidden mother whose presence is a lure to dangerous desire persists in the hidden lad of the adult child's recollections and is sometimes a greater force  ."

                        So now one word :  "She who MUST BE Obeyed .

Mistress

                           It's hard to miss the presence of >Miss< , meaning I have depicted Truth as a Female 'Entity'.   Anthropomorphism has a few "drawbacks" one of which is a masculine adoption of the Female Spectrum as 'Register' .   Here are two topic titles from Chapter II, Initiation, from Dr. Campbell's The Hero With A Thousand Faces : 2. The Meeting With The Goddess   3. Woman As Temptress .   Here it is where the Female, Truth, CAN be viewed as "...the paragon of all the paragons of Beauty" and "...the incarnation of >the promise of Perfection> " .

                          If only She was 'just' that... if only .

Miss Justice

                                           Miss Justice is iconographically depicted as a BLINDFOLDED Female holding a scale in one hand while gripping an Excalibur by her side in the other .   We are told She is blindfolded so that She remains free of bias and prejudices that may occur when She views Evidence .   We have been taught "Seeing is believing" yet SHE is BLINDFOLDED so, according to this dictum, She therefore MUST rely on Her other senses to administer the Truth .   Also, She wields a Sword presumably to defend the Truth and to meet-out Exactions .    We can only HOPE that She removes Her blindfold when punitive measures are at stake .   

                      Here's the Question :  Can we TRUST Miss Justice ???

...sounds like bikini...

                                          What follows is the Definition of >Dakini< found in the Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen .   I offer this piece because Truth is difficult, no only to Imagine but to actualize in day-to-day Operations and Observations .   You will better appreciate the Significance once you read the Def .

                      Dakini  Sanskrit:  in Indian folk belief, a female demon to be found in the company of gods;  in Vajrayana Buddhism, the inspiring power of consciousness, usually depicted in iconography as a wrathful naked female figure .  ...  The Dakini has the task if integrating the powers liberated by the practitioner in the process of visualization ...  Thus the Dakini is a female figure that moves on the highest level or Reality--- her nakedness symbolizes knowledge of Truth revealed ."
