What to do with your love for Jesus



    Tonight is the first night of Passover and the celebration of "The Last Supper"--Good Friday (a religious icon if there ever was one.) It was the last meal Jeshua shared with his apostles. It is a good time to reflect on Jesus' purpose and the symbolism of this event.  

      Passover and the Last Supper are both about becoming free.  Free as a people, thanks to Moses, et al, and free as an individual, thanks to Jeshua, et al.

       I see Jeshua's life as an invitation. An invitation to find freedom in wholeness.
     Jeshua is in fact an invitation sent by God--source of all Being-- to join with the rest of reality and work for the betterment of the whole--actually any "whole" in which you find yourself, starting with your self, to make the whole of you more aligned and integrated--body, mind, soul and spirit. 

      And then work toward the same integration for any system in which you find yourself. And in doing that you will free yourself and others.
     
     In short, to make that system (family, company, school, date, relationship, country, world, a line in a super market.... into the best it can be when all its parts are integrated and working toward a common purpose--to maximize the beauty, truth and goodness that that system is capable of expressing and receiving. 
And have eternal freedom as your reward
    "Freedom to do what?" you may ask. 
Make harmonic adaptations 
out of ever more diverse universe phenomena.

    In other words, "Let's party," saith the Universe.  But, party responsibly--forever able to respond to the movements of All Being as it celebrates existence in the dance of relationship.

 Think on't.

BUMPING INTO NOT ME

Bumping into Not Me By Errol Strider (pretending to be me) Easing into this moment… as I attempt to wend my way around the obstacles of my life… those judgments I project before me... that cause me to stumble and fall and have to watch the ground in order not to bump into the sharp edged walls that I make of everyone by the way I shape them according to how they are not me. -- Errol Strider, Artistic Director The Laughing Heart (415) 459-4512 http://striderinnertainment.com/ http://www.insightoutwitherrol.blogspot.com/ http://www.utopiaradio.com/ estrider@gmail.com

IS GOD TWO-FACED? Part 2 "Let's Face It"

Image
Let's face it, it's nice to share a meal with someone you can relate to. When I want heartfelt comfort and soul nourishment…it really is immensely satisfying to know that I am in a relationship with a very intimate "Other"…and indeed, the more I surrender (snuggle up) to that Other-ness, the more I recognize that the other enjoys companionship just as much as I do. The meal just tastes better when we're sharing the same grass. But just to keep the scales balanced (I am a Libra), I love grazing in the open fields of un-endingness and non-distinction…it's relaxing, it's satisfying, there's no resistance and there's more than enough to go around. So let's face it...it's good to abide in "both/and".. which calls me to be a compassionate "other" when life needs "me-othering" and as permeating presence in the pastures of consciousness when distinction just gets in the way. So, thanks Jesus and thanks Buddha. Even tho

HOW TO BECOME THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Image
How do you become the Light of the World? Simple…Fuse. After all, what is light? It is the process of fusion. Two "particles" that are otherwise in resistance to each other (protons, egos, sexes, nationalities, religions, competitors, etc.…) who are forced to break through that resistance and converge. Some call it sex. Either way... it's about interpenetration at the most fundamental level. So when we join with another at that deep level, the energy that was used to keep us apart is released... as Light. So how does that process apply to human relationships? Well, we need to overcome our actually unnatural resistance to joining and allow the impulse to "co-inside" in love to dominate and take us over. We are enabled to do this becausse as we access that love and submit to its nature. This is the process of spiritual growth. It's very simple: Duality deludes us into thinking that if we maintain our separation, we maintain our existence, but the truth is
