I knew Delhi
She knocked me on my ass
Just a big old gentle gray cow
unless she got annoyed



After the fall
The fashion industry was born
It was a long haul from fig leafs to Christian Dior



I read somewhere it was a pomegranate not an apple

[jimboloco]

ok a spoiler
i'll tell you how it ends
we are being tricked indeed
because an archetypal image has been conjured up
by the founders of the hanif tribe in mesopotamia
even before they settled there
they were nomads and patriarchal warriors
but there was something different there
they had ancestors who told this creation story and it was in a classic format
metaphorical and clear, precise, wondrous to hear, and then the image of adam and eve beneath the tree of knowledge of good and evil
and eve was tempted by the snake and adam was tempted by her
and they were cast out for eating a forbidden apple
and this olden time archetypal symbol becomes the way back
and when the 4 horsemen gather on the holy mountain in jerusalem
(when we can have an interfaith worship service at the golden dome of the mount)
along with a world celebration of love under one divine holy spirit
and know that we are supposed to learn our common roots and parrallel teachings
and then guess what the biggest surprise of all
we go back once again to the tree of knowledge of good and evil
eve says, do you know me now?
adam says, yes, you are the olden earth goddess
who we all worshiped long ago before the fall
and you always knew about good and evil and always told us to be good and just men
and now we know that the pomegranite or apple was not the crime,
and the snake was not the devil, just a snake, just an apple, just a tree,
the woman has the knowledge. use your head, men,
we get life from the Source,
same as the tree and snake, we get the apple and respect the snake, no worries,
now we put down that sword or karma will put it down for us
even if it has to put us down
and now we realise the woman is ascendant and she is brought up into her power zone,
becomes a rabbi, a priest, an imam
as the men weep and gnash their teeth and then molt off their old skins
and become sneaky petes once again, talkin to th voodoo woman, rasta man
then it's chop wood carry water
and practice not forgetting where we am
2010 cj you heard it here
jung was an allright dude so was mother jones
women rising men realising it is us we fear that's how the story goes

it's my satori an i'm stickin to it
wow what a year
and i love my mother that is news
to me

Kids say the darnedest things...
"FAMILY BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. “Mama, look what I found”, the boy called out.” What have you got there, dear?” With astonishment he answered, “I think it’s Adam’s underwear!”

The Bible starts out mysterious in Genesis
with a trick, reverse psychology
The picture is right, it was always the right picture
sown into quilts and weaved into blankets before the bronze age
The story is a fib, an intentional lie, a re-appearance of the scene and transformed
into a mystery, the strange and mysterious ways of the Lord,
signs and wonders
to fill you with wonder and then you think that man is king under god
That's the good news first, so you believe,
but you also believe, think you know, that you have sinned because of woman
and an apple you weren't supposed to taste
and now you must pay the piper and
then it gets concrete all the way thru the rest, men are a mess

Yes the Bible starts out mysterious in Genesis
and then it is straight and makes sense all th way thru
th Old Testament and th Testament New
and finallly ends mysterious, again, in Revelations
where the descriptions of things are fantastic and strange and scary
also
This is the projection of your fears and tells you
what the future holds, yes, in clues and riddles one day
the Apocalypse
when the riddles fall into place as concrete reality
with an intent that came from long ago
Grrrrrrrrr.....
This is the miracle you need to know

The Bible is like a well made Willy Wonka soft taffee candy wrapped in Willy Wonka waxpaper
twisted at both ends and straight inbetween

Tarbaby must know, must have that lil bit o' faith
It's true
We gonna wake up because of the Koran thankyou not to me, no
I am the undercover messenger
Gabrial taught me to recite
a literary review of the People of the Book from Genesis to Revelations
while living in those insufferable Arabian times, in retrospect, and in clear supplication
over twenty years it took
and I taught it to others all the while
my uncle and my wife and my children and only my friends who I trusted
and we hid in a canyon and were sneaky for our lives and some ran away to Syria to hide with our Coptic carpenter friends and the Coptic Priest who said, boy, look here, you're number four
and soon after we all ran away from Mecca and lived in the next city north
all during that time when Gabrial was here teaching the Recitation
and our believers grew in numbers and we were safe

The Koran untangles the gordian knot
Men unkind have plagued the earth long enough already

Getting back to the Garden
we look to the women kindly

With some help from women
cuz women are on the rise....
and the mystery of Eve and Adam will be understood
by men as women take back their due
in generations of veneration
for their and our forbearing mother ancesters
who took this sacred primal knowledge, hid it and protected it
plying their wares all the while
forced to beguile
and fought against this new patriarchy
Women did not go down easily

The bronze sword was used for evil by men
Women knew this and somehow
a wandering clan of nomads kept this image of Eve and Adam alive
from olden times..................
for five thousand years they kept this creation story alive through the expulsion from
the Garden of Eden and then Cain
and they wandered and prospered and grew into this special tribe and knew they had lost something because of this curse of original sin the story became Adam and Eve
and they also knew they had something special,
the Hanif tribe, Abraham's ancestors, the Islamic scholars know,
wandering nomads who could fight who forgot yet preserved this buried original state
of human beings from ever since we began
in a world of warring male polytheists they remembered the One Source
Who had always been with human kind, through both women and men

Women know more than men, they are special
Their reproductive system cycles like the moon, monthly, and they can feel deeply life and its ebb and flow
They posess the intellectual faculties to rationalize as well if not better than men
but we had the sword and so conditioned them to be subservient
and men changed our holy story to say this
Don't tell me I am wrong
You know I'm right, man
You got it all wrong
Step back
Show some respect since fear of her period won't keep you away like it did before
It's man gonna answer to woman on Judgment Day
an I know ya'll men ain't gonna like it like this
but I already told ya th Bible ends with a mysterious twist
It has to be said may as well be now
I already said lotsa men gon be pissed

Drink some of this Wired Friend
It's snappy It'll bite ya in th brain
You can take it like a man
Let's have another
an roll one to celebrate the mother who was so long ago
who blessed us with a bedtime story from her bosom

whoah nellie 2010 cj
yesterday was reunion day
a surprise sunday quaker meeting a memorial service
a mixed group of all ages and races, progressives, saw yeshitila omali
who had torn down a racially offensive mural in city hall in 1968
with the old black sambo charactures
in typical jim crow scenes of labor as the local historical foundation,
and was arrested and this deceased gentleman, who had lost his sister to the nazis and her kids also,
who had fled to vienna then paris then harvard then manhattan then st pete
afterward, became his friend thru the 2 years he did in jail and ever afterwards as omali established the Uhuru African Peoples independent economics movement and other friends and family spoke fondly and well
then afterwards a social gathering, my, stoned and giddy i was greeting
my old lady saturday friend we talked revolution in the art group and her revolutionary son
my old lady sunday art professor quaker friend we often had lunch together with peter who died and others
the widow of the deceased, he was a 100 year old jew architect from prague who built the house across from jack kerouac's mother, she was also my friend in anti-war and healing, and the son of her first husband who had died before this
and especially my collaborator in this story, to whom i informed all my latest revelations,
the art professor feminist who teaches sacred art from pre-patriarchal times, a storyteller, she was alienated from the patriarchs of her jewish heratige and
i showed her how the story ends and why and she said yes the snake is like a woman our curves and moves and she said yes women always used to like snakes we always knew the truth and were forced to hide it and protect it and we reveal it all the time and yes it makes sense, eve and adam and eve is the tree of knowledge and also of life and she is not only giving the apple
she is the apple and the snake
that's why she said having an epiphany
when you cut an apple sideways you get a hexagram
witchy she is bewitching 60
and we'll be friends now into the future

i had gotten really stoned after work last monday and sat out in front of the meeting after dark muttering to myself revelations
and visiting with the memory stones most of whom i knew when alive and they came back to me, the irks and quirks, the protective intimacy of a guy who i hadn't known died came to me as i remembered his friend christine, my healer with strong hugs and encouragement down a deep hole of sadness and melancholia
i always smiled and hugged her back until after the iraq war left me down but not out
i withdrew into depression and wearying

you stayed close to her and died shortly after
five years her younger
you were an angel
now i know
a clump of savannah grass grows by your memory stone

yesterday came later
still in the throes of this vision quest i'll leave it knowing i spoke about it at length with several friends, and the feminist lady whho saw my vision and uunderstood
and it already has fueled her fire
let it spark her remembering now, yes indeed thankyou holy ganja
now i got to let you go
taps george lopez every day you weigh heavy on my mind

[what me worry?]

Oh well, it's easy enough to project
where the Hanif people came from
cuz we know they were wandering nomads without a home
who carried the beginning of Genesis with them
They said it again and again knowing it was important
and trusting in the new guidance of good strong men
who still respected their women, as they had indeed become
the miracle mystery story they carried with them
was a memory of the time when they were still nomads and they had a home

It is unlikely that they came far from the east
as desert and wilderness mountains go eastward
all the way to the next great river valley, the Indus

It is unlikely they came from the west of Mesopotamia,
as there is only open desert when the green ends
and to the north there already were thriving warrior city states, Babylon, Ur

They most likely were true nomads who lived east of the Tigris
up in the cool of nearby verdant mountains above the terrible summers below
and returned to the lush river valley somewhere near and convenient for a semi-annual trek
and they grew crops then in the cool and harvested them before the time for climbing up
and they fished as well in the great wetlands of the southern river valley
as yet uncontested by the warriors to the north
and they always knew about the new swords and how they had changed Babylon and Ur
from before long ago a good time once there were a whole lotta women in Mesopotamia

They had to move because their neighbors changed and began to trespass
on their winter lands and were capable of preying in the wetlands
along with a new breed of predator: the bandit.....

They had to move and took this strange unitive but changed story to us all
as they somehow became strong enough to travel and conquer as they went
longing for a new home where they could keep their sacred memory alive
and their descendants became the Jews in Israel, a great nation out of Isaac
and the larger portion who stayed there with them

Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael took their few families dear to them, their clan as they became
and they journeyed down south to Arabia on the Red Sea where they stayed
Mecca was already an established town, a center for journeying caravans and a stopover place for travelers up and down the west coast all the way south to Yemen, where incense came through to the north and to Egypt

There were no warring tribes like before and so they mysteriously built a giant cube
to the memory of their one true Unitive God-Spirit and covered it with black cloth
and became a tribe in Arabia, intermarried with Arabians, and lost their memories
but their families remained strong within the new tribe they called AlQuarish

Over two thousand years this sublimated memory was kept in the strange giant cube
until 580-585 CJ it was awakened as the founder of the Nation of Islam
was remembered as Ishmael as his ancestor and Muhammad was a good man who honored the women as his equal

The women got suppressed in the history of Islam as well, but they know about Adam and Eve and they know that they have been suppressed

Women rising all over celebrating the earth goddess and the early paganism
Women rising in all the three Abrahamic faiths as the men learn how to live again
with thanksgiving and reverence for all women and then we will be respectable
and we will earn redemption from our fall from grace, all men, who became blessed by
the clan creation story of the Hanif people, and the unfolding saga of Judiasm and their holy men and the now emerging last holy man out of Arabia, out of this ancient people into
a vast spiritual nation waiting to be appreciated and taken seriously
and not ridiculed and dismissed out of fear and prejudice

Jesus is the way, indeed. Christians need to open up to a larger perspective and enjoy their spiritual wealth with all Jews and Muslims with understanding and wonder. They are both the way to enlightenment and the fear of the Anti-Christ which blocks everything as men are messier and bloodier than ever and don't know how to take away from the occasion for war,
but we do know now and are making man changes as we rail against the horrors
men continue to make upon innocent victims, the cost of war they say. We are showing them the cost as we begin to resist patriarchy and wage peace with the rise of women getting their voice

We are rising men
We are rising women

The bottom's gonna fall out of the illusion one fine day and then
all hell will break loose and be let go of, discarded as cultural rubbish
and remembered as the dark age of man when he was driven out of his home
by the angel with the sword

[judih]

and may that day fast approach
when differences are celebrated, rather than hated
and we get on with the task of getting on
