Riffin' On A Violently Co-Dependent God

“O Arjuna, I give heat, and I withhold and send forth the rain. I am immortality, and I am also death personified. Both spirit and matter are in Me.” 9.19 Bhagavad Gita The Most Confidential Knowledge

This is technically enlightenment in a single sentence. This is all you’d ever really need to know to know the entire conceptual territory at the core of Hinduism, as well as the Dharma in Buddhism. Buddhism, however, is an entirely secular tradition, so at a first glance such a statement seems a bit silly…

If you understand Karma in a comprehensive sense, you understand that what ought to be, what is righteous in the moment, isn’t so much formulaic (although it miraculously is with the right set of eyes) as it is determined entirely by a Subjective Being; it’s utilitarianism, but another name for it is God’s will; one is an impersonal framing for the Source, the other a Personal Framing. That there’s never a meaningful tension between the two framings, that they both serve equally, is an affirmation to the religious freedom the bill of rights as well as the doctrine of universal human rights attempts to defend; they were only doing as much in the first place because the framers of those doctrines thought that there was a universal set of standards placed upon existence and that when we respond to these natural constraints (whether from an intelligent creator or simply arising in co-existence with the system itself) appropriately, our prospects for a successful continued existence as a people increases; it makes things easier on our grandkid’s grandkids…

In more vulgar terms, should leaders of countries not have a natural desire to protect the rights of the masses because doing as much seem to always fill people with happiness, they would still do as much in recognition that this is a sentient Universe that hits back; if you’re bad to the people, the Universe brings devastation to your door. Some would say “this isn’t the movies” but if you understand Hollywood, this is absolutely the source of inspiration for the movies. It’s true; this world is ran by a sentient and loving Creator, and we are a lot closer to things being entirely just than most realize.

Things aren’t spiraling out of control… we live in the era of cancel culture.

Things have never been so tight.

As it’s framed in today’s passage, Karma would be an impersonal manifestation of Krishna. When we act, we will either act upon eternal principles, essentially doing “God” or “Christ-like” or “righteous” or “willed” things, and as a result yield “heat”, or we will act outside of the bounds of “in Me” and as a result be outside of the place where “spirit” and “matter” are, and instead experience a perpetually fleeting and transitory thing known as “death personified”.

Krishna is God. God is a person; despite being Infinite he shows up as a Subject and has a personality. Krishna is perceivably finite, but he has the amenities of Infinity…the amenities of Infinite Love, Power, and Wisdom available to him despite being a person, and in fact he can access these very things because of the specifics of his personhood. Krishna is life incarnate; the spark of and perpetuation of. Krishna, as a person, God…as a person… is redemptive/saves… death is consumed entirely by life within this framework, or never fully existed as an independent entity. Death could be described as anything outside of the bounds of “God”… of the “Me” referred to in today’s passage, and because of what we know of Krishna’s personality, we know that he never allows people to actually escape the confines of “Him”, even if he does threaten to give people a taste of it…

Sin would be that which is outside of God’s will. The immediate effect of it is what it consists of…not the real Thing. Not God. Not the primal energy that is synonymous with Life, and is substantiating it at all moments. If it could run it’s course without safety measures, sin would amount to us blipping out of existence. We would lose contact with the current that substantiates us because we have plugged into a different current entirely, and we would cease to be (Satan's currenttttt).

You can see how it’s silly to think of it in these terms and it doesn’t add up in regards to the comprehensive vision of God as All, and God as all loving. Obviously sin, even though it’s not something willed by universe outright (all things that transpire are willed be universe though…) is in service to God in the very same way that all experiences are. In fact, experiences are an emanation of the Source, a microcosm of Existence, and if there are things happening…it’s all in service to Love and the prospects of Individuated Beings the entire cosmos over.

Imagine you have a bag of candy. Now let’s flub the realism a bit and imagine you also have a bag of thunderbolts. Now let’s invite a hundred local kids. Based on how you behave, are you concerned about the Universe?

Let’s get even more direct. Let’s kidnap a bunch of toddlers and throw them in a shopping cart with baby kitten and place them on the tracks at a railroad crossing and erect some bleachers, and then invite 8 Billion people to come watch the spectacle. The 12:45 is due in on time tonight…

How worried are you about those kids?

And yet we worry about the future as if anxiety is the solution to the existential threats facing us. Before Global Warming it was nukes and Russia.

The only solution no matter what day and age you live in, is to be able to actually contact the actual Man who is determining what will take place, and what is allowed to take place, on the face of the Earth.

Only God can set us free.

He's the ex-gf who gets drunk and threatens to BURN THE WORLD/IT'S CIVILIZATIONS TO THE GROUND if you don't call him back.

It's lonely at the top...
