a new take on feminism (day of the girl 9/22)

Found within the first paragraph of the SCUM Manifesto are the words
that detail Solanas’ intentions and the intentions of her fellow
“scum” which are “to overthrow the government, eliminate the money
system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.”

Okay, the first tthree intentions are very noble, then it just goes
totally insane and become hateful? what does that have to do with the
spirit of femininity being respected? That sounds like disrespect, it
sounds like a huge false alarm, it only makes ignorant faithless
people think, "well if the government is overthrown etc. then we'll
have a bunch of lunatics out there trying to destroy the male sex and
thus all life."

is this remotely true at all? probably not, as tribal communities have
existed since ancient times sans any strict form of government and
they have been incredibly conducive to all forms of life, as the
spirit of Woman is known to be.

All of the violent hatred in Solanas' work and in many extreme
feminists is saddening and I don't think it reflects what the true
healing message is at all, but goes against it. They become just like
the patriarchies which they are trying to escape, spouting a
generalize hate for no reason. The same is so with many of the
traditions of the Goddess in current times, which are focused upon
heritage, the Cybellines being the best represented on the internet,
and also to some extent the Mellisae, they speak of a Goddess, a
mother of all, yet they don't illustrate the connections between the
many Goddesses of mythology, they chose to engage in ritual bondage
and domination practices, they are extremely closed and elitist. These
are signs that all of these groups have been corrupted, perhaps
infiltrated by the same patriarchy which they supposed were meant to
set into balance. They're main purpose seems to be to ensure that the
past is repeated over and over again, and never allow people to see
the true reality while at the same time being a part of a working
group.
But the true Goddess is far beyond this,

"to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute
complete automation"

these are noble goals. money free economy. i write that sometimes on
dollar bills I get, and a pentagram and send it on through the system
of exchanges, hoping that it works, just a small ritual a small
intent, to make life a little bit cooler at a time, to put a little
bit more consciousness out there. That is what ecofeminism is really
about, doing things at a small level that can eventually enlighten
people and stop the foolish conflicts, stop the oppresion all of it.
It does take a woman's touch, an artist's touch, a free spirit, to do
it, but its not through trying to prove that men are an inferior sex,
anyone with wisdom knows all beings are equal.

“the male is a biological accident.”

accidents can be awesome, penicillin was discovered by accident.
transgender people often feel they are born into their bodies by
accidents, but even those are not accidents, we are here to play a
certain role in the universe, that is not within the duality of the
given system, but beyond it, and help others see all the rainbow
shades which are really out there. I don't think its good to be caught
up in trying to become a man or woman, but just to be yourself, you
are already what you are, if you try to become one, you will probably
end up just falling into a thing looking for acceptance, people will
just give you the old roles over and over again and you will start to
perpetuate the status quo which we so desperately need to just grow up
and break from.

They are incorrect, they are made to be incomplete, because the entire
system was created long ago by monarchs who wanted to ensure their
systems never failed, that the rich would get richer and the poor
poorer, that type of thing, and they would have secret knowledge while
everyone else was just stupid. But the reality is, that is incredible
arrogant and lacking in wisdom, because everyone has wisdom and by
ignoring them just because you think they are stupid without even
giving them a chance to prove themselves, just shows you are lacking
in insight. The way our system works now, is like that guy from greek
mythology who is cursed in hades to forever try to fill a bucket with
a hole in the bottom which drips away. Our society is like the spiral
tribe. It is corrupt.

We just have to acknowledge it and break from the old methods, and it
can be changed. Thats what real revolution is about, and its difficult
gathering people, in a good mind state, who know whats up, who care
about nature, who love to have a good time, and spread love, and
kindness, and practice spiritualities, and really think not just for
the sake of the tradition but for the sake of undoing the puzzle of
unbinding the whole thing and really ending all suffering. Its
difficult but it can happen, that is what wantism is about, that is
what the fairies gather for, and the anarchists, and the peace clubs,
its not about some huge nightmare, destroying the opposition,
destroying the ones who are different, jealousy, or stupid rivalries,
not about the holocaust or racist/sexist agendas, no. Those things are
what the current society is about, just watch tv, watch the news, what
stories are being told, what is being glorified and said to be okay
just because its funny, why are hippies who can be so wise because
they are with the spirits told to go away or shut up because they are
just 'high', why? just to upkeep some wierd tradition? the tradition
is what hurts us. We can go beyond that, these are not the old roles.
Why is cannabis still illegal in so many places (though this is
quickly changing) when it was revealed 25 years ago that the only
reason it was made illegal was to stop immigration. The medical
benefits are incredible, it is the heart of so many spiritualities,
including Judaism Christianity, and many of the Goddess religions, do
you ever wonder maybe its because the ones who truly try to upkeep the
spiritualities, who are truly kind and wise must be called criminals
for some immature reason that religion has failed so much, and just
become a reason for wars, even in the old days, and hypocrisy, in the
old days this was because of kings, now it is because of and lack of
willingness to change. There are no kings like that, people are
smarter. we just have to spread the love, we have to make writings
like this, that show we are not stupid, we are feminists, and we think
all beings are equal, we don't want to fight anyone or cause any pain,
we don't want to exploit anyone because we as women know what it is
like to be exploited. Even if there are still some place which feel
this kind of oppresion in reality, not just because people are lazy,
unthoughtful, imperceptive, and unwilling to overcome the boundaries
which are in reality no longer there our writings could still help
them, but we must make sure they are cleansed of this hatred, which
destroyed the taliban, and extremist groups like that. No. that is not
the way, a group of revolutionaries is great, but they must have some
real spiritual wisdom.

Don't oppress women, don't advocate violence, be peaceful as possible,
sometimes you must just do things, and break rules, but not to cause
pain, there is always a path of non harming that is available,
sometimes it may take a little longer but this is always the wisest.

These kinds of revolutions are extremely important and everyone wants
them really, there is some opposition from holding onto the past, but
that can go, the only thing is there just can't be hate, just love,
all you need is love, and friends who can spread the message too, and
talk about and then everyone knows, and who would oppose love? it is
so powerful it touches everyone, love is truly the divine thing, Jesus
understood this the revolution he went through was like this, but now
its become so cliche, the fearful ones have put the wisdom of those
miraculous moments together with great foolishness, much like Valerie
Solanas, its not about seperate white and black and this foolishness
which has caused so much wrong in the world, when can we write a new
Book of Spirit with true wisdom within it, thats not about some
family, something egoless, like the sutras, but also something alive,
with the poetry and uplifting mysticism of the true reality, of love
and joy for life, that doesn't have petty rules that make no sense.
That is what the Divine wants to give us, but we have to open
ourselves to it, thats the true religion and it includes all of what
we have, it is kindness to everyone, respect of all ways and all
worlds, working together with the environment, and those we don't
understand, not taking too much, and always giving back.

A book that can break through the delusions, a book of Love, its
already in the trees, the living trees, and in our living words, it is
alive, but it won't hurt it to be written, since so much delusion is
already being written, we just have to express our ideas in clarity,
not be represented by things which include things that we go against,
thats why though we dig the spirit of Jesus, we cannot be Christians
because the bible just seems wrong, it seems like it was corrupted,
everyone has a right to think what they think and worship in their own
way, God is beyond names, beyond gender. God is Goddess.

Love, Love is all.

cha, yall




it is not about supremacy, it is, as the Sibyls say when they speak of
the ancient times, about equality, and egalitarianism. Though they
somehow became simply a museum and perpetuating the same ways of
wrongness, perhaps they were never real but we will not fall down that
path, it was important, they gave the seed of that dream, of true
equality, oneness, but thats all they gave, and really we all already
had those ideas, since we were kids, it was the adults who tried to
teach us to leave them behind, if we want it, we have to do it
ourselves, we can't lose faith in what is real, what really matters.

this way we can undo the foolishness which has caused so much sorrow,
and return to the real glory of what life is about, we can reach
infinity, we can transcend life and death as we know them even

the blessing of the True Goddess/God is with us, the blessing of Nature itself,
all that is.

we are wiser than the system which tries to hold us, it can only hold
us with our permission

 

What, no comment about banks OR international funding contingencies?
