the hawk and the dove

The other day, as me and my native american friend were riding by an ancient shrine we witnessed a battle between a hawk and a dove. My friend jumped into the battle on behalf of the dove. “Why do you interfere in a battle between a hawk and a dove?” I asked. He said, “I felt sorry for it, it is just a baby.” The dove was a pure white one,. It was seriously injured with its guts sticking out in two different places. “All you are going to do is deprive the hawk of its food and give this dove a slow and lingering death,” I said.

Nonetheless, he took it home. He cared for the dove for a almost a week. Five days later he carried the now-recovered dove on his shoulder back to the shrine and let it go. This is a shrine, by the way, dedicated to the war gods in commemoration of a great victory over 1000 years ago.

To me there was a profound philosophical lesson in that incident. It made me realize the Western view of an eternal war between God and Satan is fundamentally wrong. The native american view is much closer to the reality. The wheel contains all healing properties. Everything in it's season. Think of them as two opposing and yet at the same time harmonious inter-twined forces. Sometimes it is a male and a female making love. Sometimes it is best friends having animated discussions. Sometimes it is rivals in a competition and sometimes it is mortal enemies fighting to the death.

In this case, my friend was right and I was wrong. From the point of view of God, which I believe to be the life force in and of itself, the future life of a dove had more value than a hawk's lunch.

The West needs to replace the metaphor of God and Satan in eternal battle with one of a more harmonious interaction between the forces of dark and the forces of light.

This brings us to a fundamental question in Western philosophy which is “why does anything exist at all?” The answer is that by its very definition anything could not exist without nothing to contrast it with. The universe is composed of two fundamental particles: light and dark or energy and vacuum. You can see their primal action by looking at the static seen between channels on a TV. That is right, the universe is digital.

Every once in a while, the random interactions produce a self-replicating mathematical formula that turns into a vortex that creates a new universe or reality. The luciferians who have been herding us with a Hegelian dialogue of action and reaction made a fundamental mistake by thinking that mayhem, death and destruction were necessary ingredients to this process but then Lucifer is the
angel of the 27th aether, the angel of the lesser light, so his gnosis will always fall short of the glory of god, in order for Lucifer to possess this earth it must be of his image, and his image is the broken shards, the incomplete thought, therefore always subject to the static consciousness we call death. Non remembrance of the whole image is why we must face the void of time space, after
inhabiting for just a short time this space time. Therefore we forget, and then
we are again. This is all the satanic system has to offer. What we are really seeking is to fill the void that Satan just can not fill, and that is to realize or see, the whole image of god. In that there is no death, total remembrance, that
my friends is resurrection. Be there.
