OK so been going back and forth and round and round on numerous things, regarding Christianity, Isms, RA [ritual abuse], patriarchy, etc., what they have in common and how they are intertwined, related, similar, etc.,
and bottom line I think is this, it's either FEAR or LOVE. The question, can we truly Love whom we Fear?
So now that leaves me with a Whole host of questions and well, I suppose a lot of ambivalence I have right now toward God. So, while I don't have a lot of answers [other than the usual scripture 'cliches' which I'm not going to bother listing right now because well, frankly, I'm fed up with cliches, especially cliches that have been monopolized and written by MEN, who demand love using fear/abuse, manipulation, and all the other b.s. and well, I suppose I'm just not content to 'rely' on those things anymore, especially not cliches,
so, in this wilderness I'll be pondering on this now, and will post what I find out here. Yesterday too I noticed, I should really change the title of this blog, being since, obviously there was no interest from others in beginning a real union to fight for women--which not surprising in Exceptionalist America, [good book on this, by Lipset, Martin, I concur with majority of his observations]. But I really don't feel like transferring all these posts to another blog and few read here anyway, so,
~~sigh~~ will leave it as it is for now.
I probably Do need to get back on to writing about the issues that I have written on, such as the exploitation in the cotton industry/slave labor and the sweatshop abuses, I've seemed to have gotten off on other issues and even tangents,
wasn't planned that way, nethertheless, who knows, maybe it will help somebody out there, to relate or to maybe look outside their little world, who knows,
well no, actually, the oppression of women, how infrastructures [religion included] are Woven, are very similar to how fabrics are woven, how the textile industry and the resources work, particularly in the exploitation of Mother Earth, even how fashion is the 'tool' of media manipulation to enforce or persuade internalized beliefs, misogynist at that, patriarchal, etc., so for not only profit but to maintain a status quo of placement, of where women, gender roles should be in society defined by the patriarchal hegemony [economics, religion, mores, norms, culture, etc].
Even geo-political racism is structured around resources and resources for textiles OR textiles pillaged from lands [raping of mother earth] that Could be used for Food instead for countless poor. We are after all, fashion GLUTTONS in the West,
we're to cover nakedness but do we really need to cover our own nakedness with 100s of garments while there are children in the world naked and starving? This is something I've been Wrestling with, in regards to my OWN SELF AND LIFE, since God wooed me to Him but also since writing this blog, raging at the world,
I rage a lot, but more and more, IS it Enough to just Rage? Is it enough to just send money? And money, that may very well not even get to where it's needed but will wind up in the Very hands of those Patriarchal blood thirsty killers who Keep out aid and food and create the conditions that cause famines and misery?
What does it Really mean, to KNOW Christ?
I'm not content with cliches or even my own 'self justifications' anymore...I simply, cannot rationalize, so much...
just can't. And what prevents sacrificial Love actually, for me, is FEAR, oh Yes, I'll admit,
it's not just selfishness or self preservation, or lack of trust, it's FEAR,
to KNOW Christ....to really KNOW HIM,
more and more I am beginning to Think, we won't Ever know Him, until we not just strip off the religious garments, but we take that step, into faith, and GET WHERE there is SUFFERING,
AND CLOTHE, FEED AND GIVE THEM WATER...
not just write about it, not just give money, not just live as if time is guaranteed. And it probably does mean, for Women surely...one will die,
but then, maybe, just maybe, that's the whole point...Love will Die, so that Other's might Live.
More on this later...more and more, I really think, I'm going to stop writing altogether, and get on a plane...more and more, I'm leaning there...
just, where and when?
