Atom and Ever
I am sitting here wondering just where that swift and mighty sword is in its progression through the three metaphorical samurai I described for you; but that sword is often too swift to see and too sharp to feel, so I am not concerned. It is, after all, you it is cutting through, not me.
I am sitting here killing time while Time kills you, and I have been thinking how much like the story of Adam and Eve is the story of the human being of these times. I call the modern version "Atom and Ever". Smart enough to split the atom, dumb enough to damn themselves forever, the story of the human being.
This Earth may not seem like Eden to you, but later, after this Earth has died, bloated,and exploded, and your pitiful immortal crabapple souls are but little specks of pain in a asteroid belt of little specks of pain circling the sun, these times will seem like Paradise Lost to you.
We have seen the story of Paradise Lose take place many times in history, and I think it has been repeated ever since groups of human beings began living close enough together to mess with each other.
"This place used to be Paradise until the damn Chinese began pissing into the river." What! That's in the news today!
You can perhaps see Paradise Lost in Hawaii and all of Polynesia, and in North and South America, before the coming of the Europeans; and in Korea before the conquest by the Japanese and the cutting in two by the Americans and the Russians; and on the Japanese islands before the arrival of the wandering Japanese, when only the white-skinned, blue-eyed race called the Ainu lived there.
Pardon my drifting off course, I was talking about the story of Adam and Eve and how like that story is your story of today.
I know many of you think that first story of the Bible is real history and not an attempt by primitive Israelites to explain their situation to themselves.
I used to think that, too, before my ninth birthday and after eight years of hand-me-down theology in the guise of education; but then at ten I was beginning to remember what I had known about God when I was in the womb, that God is not the all-powerful-cruel-but-loving lunatic described to me in my religious instruction.
"What I had known about God in the womb"; now that's a view of God for you, unblemished by religious programming; but that's another story.
Back to Adam and Eve, if you take the story at its basic story line, if you see the temptation of the forbidden fruit and recall that because that forbidden fruit was eaten Paradise was lost, you can see that story being played out now, today, for the whole damned human race...and what, I ask you, is the forbidden fruit in the modern version of this story?
Well, since I am driving this nail into your coffin and you forbidden to answer me by your master, called America by you and called Death by me, I will answer my question myself.
You will laugh and mock when I tell you, but that's just your knee-jerk way. Hear me out, and think about it, and you will come to know I am right.
The current equivalent to the Apple is the Internal Combustion Engine. It is the master of the world, it is the poisoner in the air, it is the sucker of the oil; and it is oh, so delicious.
The Internal Combustion Engine is the I.C.E. mountain that sinks the Titanic which is the human race.
Just killing time while Time kills you; telling you truths you do not want to hear. I understand why you are your covering your ears. Ignorance is bliss; and your master, called America by you and called Death by me, tells you it is better to drive to Hell than walk to Heaven.
That said, I will try to figure out where that swift and might sword is cutting you right now, and let you know next time we meet.
