Jesus Came To Teach

Teachers teach and do the world good, kings just rule and most are never understood. If you were to rule or govern a certain industry all inside this room would be in misery. No one would get along nor sing a song, cause everyone’s be singing for the king, am I wrong? - Krs One

When I watched the movie IP Man something stood out to me, and was crystalized in my mind while reading Dave Lowry’s book Moving Towards Stillness: Lessons In Daily Life From The Martial Ways Of Japan. During the movie, Ip Man is meeting with several sifus (teachers) of local martial arts schools to demonstrate his style of the art.

In a chapter of the book Lowry relates a story of a sensei that loses everything during World War II. Losing his business, his wife to pneumonia, a month later getting the news his son was killed in action. On top of that the master was living in a tin shanty out in the open with very few clothes, food given to him by his neighbors and students. Shortly there after a fire destroyed everything in the neighborhood right after the Japanese government surrendered to the U.S.

The master, and everyone around him, appeared to have nothing. Then, having nothing, the neighborhood turned to the master. He was a budo teacher. This meant the people ‘looked up to him.’ He was a teacher. The teacher was a well respected pillar of the community. He had nothing, but the neighborhood turned to him not because he was a big businessman, not because he had persevered through horrendous adversity, not because he was a master of the martial arts, but because he was a teacher.

Teachers in our society have been deminished to the value of their paychecks. Our current society places the worth of something based on its monetary equivalent. Since American society has continued to pay the teacher very little for the value they are to render via education to our children, teachers are no longer accepted as a great value to our society, the teacher is no longer respected as a pillar of the community.Teaching has never been a profession that one would become wealthy and this was a known to all who pursued the profession, but one thing was understood, even when I was a child, that the teacher was to be held in very high esteem.

Teachers once held themselves in very high esteem and understood their position in society and for society. Historically, teachers were “looked up to” and the title of teacher bestowed upon a person, whether a professional teacher in a school system, a martial arts instructor or a teacher of religion the title was a crown of the utmost importance in society. Even Jesus was adorned with the title teacher. Rabbi, as Jesus was commonly called is a word that comes from the Hebrew root word horah, meaning “he taught…”

Mary was the mother of Jesus and as such she was his first teacher. Maybe, just maybe, when our society places woman where she really should be, no longer looking at her as “just a vessel” and understanding her true roll and value of any strong and lasting society, will the teacher be elevated back to the the esteemed position of our society. Maybe, just maybe, when the title of teacher is elevated to it’s true heights our teachers will see themselves beyond that of just another “human resource” to be consumed by societal madness and see themselves as one of the pillars up holding the building of society

Ressurection of Horus...Easter Sunday??? An allegory of the Stars

Mother Mary....The Reason For The Season!

Believed by many to be the birth of the Son, the birth of the Messiah, the Savior of the World, December 25^th has become a world wide celebration of the coming of the lord. Through time, the ancient understanding of the astronomical precession of the stars has been lost or covered by church doctrine. Church doctrine, which is primarily Catholic dogma, has converted the ancient symbols from their true meaning into a church belief system.

We are witnessing the astronomical return of the Sun from it’s three day burial in the tomb of the southern hemisphere where it remained, until it’s slow journey back toward the north on December 25th to where it will reach it’s zenith in our month of July approximately the 25th/26th. In the biblical tale, Mary, the mother of Immanu-El (Jesus) is given her biggest role as the “Mother of God.” The giver of life of the Godman, Immanu-El, God among us.

The role of the Mother of God has slowly been degenerated under the watchful eye of the church to just a woman in the life of Jesus.  But, what is her role, really? As the “conscious community” is embroiled in the “Black woman is God” controversy, the role of Mary as the Mother of God needs to be explored and exposed for the sake of all women and for the sake of us all.

In fact the longest running war on the planet Earth is the war against women. Evidenced by the recent serial murders in the northeast United States. The ability to destroy a woman’s life so easily has been bankrolled, so to speak, due to this protracted war. The simple truth is, there would be no Jesus to venerate if there was no Mary. There would be no Jesus to worship if Mary was not a conscious mother during her pregnancy with Immanu-El.

The astronomical precession of the Sun/Son every winter in the northern hemisphere, where the Sun/Son rests in the tomb, which is synonymous womb and is reborn again every December 25^th, to rise to be king in July. In the womb the Sun is rejuvenated, strengthened to reign again. Strengthened by the three day rest in the womb. How then can there be a controversy in the conscious community?

Mary, her womb, is the reason for the season. Without Mary, there would be no God on Earth, no Immanu-El, God among us.  Without the teachings of Mary, the mother, there would be no miracles, no healing ot fhe sick, no feeding of the 5000. It was she, His mother, that honed his skill in everything he did. She taught him to speak. She taught him how, and when to exercise his God given abilities. His compassion was imparted to him from his Mother. Without her, the feminine principle, there would be no Son of God.
