RUDIMENTS, pt. 1,263
(young punks, running zones)
I was in a nearby downtown
today, walking around and
counting my minutes. All the
old bells were ringing in my
head, about places I've been
and things I've seen. Everything
was good. Until I came across
one of those church-sign things
for Easter. It read 'Every Day
Is Resurrection Day.'
-
It's a day or two here before
Easter. The Catholic rabble calls
it Maundy Thursday, followed by
Good Friday tomorrow, then Holy
Saturday, and finally Easter Sunday.
I've never been a big fan of any
holidays, I admit, but Easter has
always really bugged me. For a
number of reasons: First off, it's
the most blatant steal of Pagan
celebration and religion that
there is; worst then Christmas
(which at least has the usual
Jewish-money-grubbing
traditions behind it, preying
on the stupid Gentiles, who
are too dumb even to realize
that they're being played.
-
Easter has bogus written all
around it. It's an obvious graft
of the whole Spring and rebirth
of Nature and the new season.
Attached to it are these stupendous
religious tales and rituals of death
and resurrection, plus it's got a
6-week lead-in where they can
ply all their silly religious tics
onto a tale of something that
is beyond outlandish. Lastly, the
fact that it's a moveable feast, on
a different date most every year,
with a natural rotation of its own
scheduling based on moon and
celestial occurrences (the first
Sunday after the first full moon
after the vernal equinox) lets
them have a freer reign than
normal to graft anew their
doctrinal straitjacket onto the
more-than-natural world. And
it also makes quite obvious the
ancient and primitive spiritualism
from the days long before 'religion'
existed, from which the hoary
and twisted religions we have
today take their origins. In a
secular dress, redecorated both
for modern tastes and sensibilities,
and so as to be put into the service
of the authoritative secular powers
that lord over us.
-
But in this case what bothered
me the most ('Every day is
Resurrection Day'), was the
complete dilution of any of that
religious crap down to the most
banal and secular blurting out of
some stupid feel-good message.
It's nothing short of pandering.
If every day is resurrection day
than no day really is. Whatever
you do is right! Feel good about
yourself for nothing you do can
be wrong! - Well, I'm here to say
that's all a load of the usual and
self-affirming crap that's peddled
by self-help section of any crap
heap bookstore or TV show, or
any of those winsome-doily
types who profess well-being
and health through positivism,
naivete, stupidity, and gall.
-
When a church or a service or
a group or an affirmation 'coach'
professes any of that, I say watch
your wallet and hold onto to your
neighbor, because both can easily
taken from you. Secular mass-think.
Enforced probity. Lies and shadings.
They're all the same. Please run
and hide whenever you see the
likes of one of those 'Every Day
is Resurrection Day' signs, for it's
a lie. If it weren't a lie, and if it
was allowed and accepted, and if
that church really allowed for that
there would be riots and revolutions
as people, reborn, would realize
the errors of theirs ways and rise
up from their own deadness and
finally partake of Life and Liberation,
Growth, Creativity, and Happiness
too. The world would crumble to
pieces and the fires of the resultant
Hell would consume those that
now be lording over us. Those
first shall be last. And like young
punks, running zones and new
categories of their own, the
'resurrected' will rise up and
re-corrupt anew the world they
create. Life and Spirituality are
endless circles, over and over,
curling and renewing over and
onto themselves in the progression
we call 'Infinity.' And, in that
sense, every day is infinite too.
-
['There is no life, truth, intelligence
or substance, in mind, all in infinity
and its manifestation. for God is
all in all. Spirit is immortal truth,
matter is mortal error. Spirit is the
real and eternal, matter is the real
and the temporal.']
