The True Believer
Did you see this preacher robbed at this pulpit? Hilarious. Right? There’s something about watching justice in action that vindicates the righteous mind! Or am I just a jerk for that reaction? Because when I saw the guy get down to the floor, I laughed. “Ha, ha, you egotistical, greed meister. That’s what you get when you show off. Kings lose their gold watches and sometimes their head.”
After watching the whole video I understood his perspective better. As he spoke about the ordeal, it was clear that he believes in himself and his mission. This preacher believes that he deserves what he has. He believes that he is doing god’s work. He believes that the money is a gift from his divine benefactor. Just like all kings, he is convinced that he knows better than his minions and that his job is to impress them.
I was not sympathetic for this wealthy fakester, who takes from the faithful to buy gold jewelry, and yet, I do understand what he is doing and why he is doing it, probably better than he does.
What he doesn’t understand is the Game of Tao. While his job is to gain wealth from the trust of sheep, there are wolves whose job is to restore balance in the universe. It’s justifiable theft. These wolves didn’t hurt the sheep. They nicked the shepherd. Like Robin Hood, these wolves took from a man who could easily afford the loss, unlike the hucksters in government and corporate circles who rob from the poor worldwide. Which is better? To rob the rich to give to the poor, or for the rich to rob the poor?
Justice And Mercy
The Preacher Archetype, loves God, Speaks in tongues and channels Zeus, the god of prosperity and fertility. He will grant you grace if you believe in him and he will prove his power with a show of wealth and mercy. He is in charge of the fertility of creation, so he transforms himself into woodland animals and fucks them all, and the wood nymphs too. His job is wisdom and fucking. So there's your answer to why preachers are disguised as odd ducks!
Zeus was in charge of justice and mercy and fertility. He was a busy god. The preacher in this story wants justice for himself. He says in the video on “Hip Hop” that they are ‘gonna catch these criminals and put them away for a long time’. God forbid rich people should go without chunks of gold around their necks. Those robber boys have families to feed. Is that justice? At this point in time I have no answers, just impressions from a few visual flashes on a screen and some words heard through the speaker on my internet machine.
But I do have questions. Are we getting any nuance with this story? How do you respond to right and wrong?
We can make incidents bad or righteous, depending upon the perspective, and there is no way to see another perspective without walking all the way around a statue.
So many movies about this guy and his seeming hypocrisy, but really, he’s just sticking to the Archetypal plan. How much of our behavior is programmed? How much free will does anyone have? These stories get to the quintessential essence of this dude. And, he is a dude, yang, male, masculine.
Philosophy is yang. Adventure is yang. The Rain that brings fertility to Earth is Yang. Preaching is yang. Showing off is yang. Religion is yang. Being manly is not the same thing as the Archetype. Being manly is something else, something well rounded, because Archetypes are categories, not people.
The Kabbalist Zeus is Hesed. Or Chessed. His keyword is Mercy. The fertile rain is a mercy to dry ground. He is the father of thought and the son of the infinite original planner. He is the king on the mountain. The mountain holds him up. The mountain is his wife, his mate, his conscience. No one operates alone, not even the gods.
