A few things crossed my mind. What do you reckon?:

If the rabbití¢â‚¬â„¢s nature really represents the ideal tolerance of humankind, did Jesus have to get rid of the Pope? Does killing the highest misled religious figure correct the problem í¢â‚¬“ top to bottom í¢â‚¬“ once and for all? When and how can the cycles of violence end?

What is it about Peter Rabbit that Jesus wished to espouse in all of us? Why is a rabbit pope? Once I had a dream I was a rabbit, now I caní¢â‚¬â„¢t tell whether I am a man dreaming I was a rabbit or a rabbit dreaming that I am a man??

Creative responses much appreciated.

Ití¢â‚¬â„¢s so organic or something I love it, like if youí¢â‚¬â„¢re questioning whether there is a God, in order to question, the movement in what I would call God must already be there to question. Your eyeball is already flickering around staring from across the room as you move looking for answers. Ití¢â‚¬â„¢s very liberating, although frightening at first, thereí¢â‚¬â„¢s nothing holding up my awareness. Thoughts just arise. í¢â‚¬Å“Ií¢â‚¬  doní¢â‚¬â„¢t control anything. I say, God IS having the question í¢â‚¬Å“is there a God, is there not a God?í¢â‚¬  God is creativity, the longing of a cherry blossom, the yearning of the pulse í¢â‚¬“ creativity itself, not a bearded creator - thriving long before thought. Funnily, we need to suspend thought to see this.

6.Anything else that favors the diminishment of suffering in yourself and others.

Before I go, a very warm thanks to CapitalMag.

I wanna mention that a young boy just came up to my table here at the cafíƒ © and took the empty chair; he didní¢â‚¬â„¢t ask whether it was free. I noticed to myself the freedom in that, like a child who doesní¢â‚¬â„¢t yet know nudity. Uninhibited and cannot, like a humpinglicking dog, be shown blame. What limitations are built into our social manners. Thatí¢â‚¬â„¢s why when freedom is hard to feel in society, we got alcohol and drugs. There is etiquette that is both restricting yet full of the freedom that comes from organization, clarity, the privacy and safety it ensures from others. How we need freedom, yet security.

In any case, both are realities: the thoughtless animal and the careful and sensible human.

Then I wonder about the place of freedom WITHIN order:

Often I feel we lack the subtlety and the nuance of such freedom with order. Whether about borders or order or regulations. And it all comes from trying to get out of what we just caní¢â‚¬â„¢t get out of: life. Skipping from things that are very thrilling, one to the next, making a life geared towards pleasures that come as quick as they go. Our days revolve around these, while the community designs it so that these pleasures are readily available channel to channel, street corner to street corner. And the news, it must be in bright banners. The nuances í¢â‚¬“ what is really gratifying and peaceful about life í¢â‚¬“ will never be announced on Fox News. In fact I often notice in myself at periods during the day a dim sense of how to experience the beauty of life at all.

The Muslim world and much of the religious world strives for this: Order. Hoping that its construct will lead to freedom. Of course, as with all religion, the form caní¢â‚¬â„¢t do anything on its own. The individual is the only one capable of arousing the positive aspects native to the founding spirit of the religion: love, community, devotion, self-understanding. Remarkably, the form caní¢â‚¬â„¢t even generate ideology or fundamentalism on its own; the individual human mind must be there for that too. But sadly the latter is the most common result if the individual is mislead and misleads herself.

Mending the wound: In meditation, the posture is the order and the individual must work to incorporate the passing pain or pleasure of the form, as the mood changes subtly every moment. Finding joy, because while the changes go on í¢â‚¬“ and they always do in life í¢â‚¬“ all passes through the unsuspended mind. A slight shift suddenly because you release from identifying with every change where joy is merely the thrill of sensations, come and go. The mind is large to include all. You incase it all. The one who sees the true size of his mind is free from the pain of change. Openness to change is then possible, and less onerous because the big mind has danced again in the immutability of the changeless.
