00:18:02.640 --> 00:18:03.519 Yeah. 00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.000 Because other creatures haven't had like patriarchal religion forced on them. 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:15.440 So when we're taking away our own natural connection and life force, they're also taking away our like our soul energy. 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:16.079 Yes. 00:18:16.079 --> 00:18:18.559 And we're just trying to fill it and we're trying to fill it. 00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:19.920 Things that will never fill it. 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:20.799 Trying to fill it. 00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:21.119 Yeah. 00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:22.160 Never fill it. 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.000 To what we But also, I think people do need to recognize how bad it is. 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:27.519 Because, like I said, I didn't know. 00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:33.440 I I mean I thought it, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it until the world was literally my world. 00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:35.680 Of course, it's always egocentric, right? 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:35.920 Right. 00:18:35.920 --> 00:18:39.680 Until my world was like, oh, things are not right. 00:18:39.680 --> 00:18:40.000 Right. 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:40.319 Right? 00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:50.799 The patriarchal West cannot solve its energy problems because our minds and spirits were long ago cut off from the real source of energy. 00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:52.559 Creative power. 00:18:52.559 --> 00:19:06.559 This is the sexual spiritual source of cosmic ecstasy, which patriarchy has denied in favor in favor of manipulative, moralistic, and rationalistic energies. 00:19:06.559 --> 00:19:23.920 As moral and rational energies themselves dwindle, with a lingering patriarchal framework, only the most decadent, bizarre, and vicious energies seem to erupt in their place, and they are in the seat of our government. 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:32.240 These criminal energies do not result from the absence of patriarchy as the fundamentalists preach. 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:44.319 Rather, they are the corrupt residues and grotesque spasms of the dying patriarch himself, which I hope he's dying. 00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:47.440 I know, I hope you're dying in deathbed like forever. 00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.200 Oh my god, forever. 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:49.839 It is. 00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:51.920 Do you see this in italics underneath? 00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.839 It says, evil is that which prevents the unfolding of the one. 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:57.039 Yes. 00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:58.880 You're like, you know. 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:06.559 And I think when they're saying the one here, they're talking about a collective one of universal oneness with the earth. 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:07.359 Yeah, the one. 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.039

The cosmos. 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:11.839 That's it. 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.359 We haven't said it yet this episode, but we'd love to read you the whole book. 00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:21.200 But so according to this definition, surely all of patriarchal society is evil. 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:47.920 Even in its death rows, it attempts to pit us all against each other as economic enemies, as political enemies, as racial enemies, as religious enemies, worker against worker, white against dark, man against women, belief against belief, as patriarchal systems begin and end by instigating competitiveness for survival, i.e., by trying to make communalism, mutual cooperation impossible. 00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:55.839 And that is I wanted to read that part because it's so, like you said, we need to be reminded, we're being pitted against each other. 00:20:55.839 --> 00:21:02.319 The whole point of this book to me is to understand that politics isn't enough. 00:21:02.319 --> 00:21:02.720 No. 00:21:02.720 --> 00:21:12.720 You know, when you just said like you're like, well, I hadn't like thought about like how bad you're like, I knew it was bad, but you don't think about like it is spiritually bad. 00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:16.960 It's like soul bottom bad. 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:18.000 Soul bottom bad. 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.960 So I like that. 00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:21.680 That's where we are. 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.640 And I we're at soul bottom bad. 00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.079 Yeah, we're at soul bottom bad. 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:31.440 And I think to have books like this that give you the words, because that's what that's what's happening while we're reading it. 00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:32.000 I'm like, yeah. 00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:33.680 I'm like, no, that's why it's bad. 00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.480 We're pitted against each other. 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:47.519 And and I know even so if we're thinking like politics, we've heard that, especially for the past like 10, this past decade, they're like, oh, they're you know, they're trying to get us pitted against each other. 00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:51.519 But we're only thinking of that in like red state, blue state pitted against each other. 00:21:51.519 --> 00:21:57.200 I'm like, no, no, we're talking like deep, soul bottom, soul bottom pitted. 00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:57.839 That's right. 00:21:57.839 --> 00:21:59.839 Western patriotism. 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:07.599 Has plundered, raped, co-opted, ripped off, brutalized, and massacred lavishly. 00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:10.400 Always in the name of God. 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:17.279 God is always available to justify what cannot otherwise be justified. 00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:23.920 The Holy Bible itself is the first written example of this phenomenon. 00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:45.279 Western Christians have convinced themselves that this God virtually gave them the entire earth to use, to control, to profit from, and in the final insult, to missionize, to teach spirit to through a rifle barrel, if necessary. 00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:50.400 By the way, I wish we had video for your reading of that because it was really good, you guys. 00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:51.759 It was like so good. 00:22:51.759 --> 00:23:03.279 So the next few pages are really breaking down like the modern Christianity. 00:23:03.279 --> 00:23:17.839 For example, the biblically derived capitalist spiritual experience in particular has never been an adventure of spirit, but an indulgence of extreme individualism and self-righteousness in pursuit of personal profit, personal enhancement. 00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:21.599 Always at the expense of the whole world. 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:22.720 Yeah. 00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:28.240 In here they talk about the um justification that God makes some people poor. 00:23:28.480 --> 00:23:29.359 Oh my god, yeah. 00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:31.839 So that others can learn something from them. 00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:41.440 That poverty and pain are karmic situations brought on by one's behavior in past lives, that one chooses one's life absolutely, and some people choose to suffer. 00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:42.400 It's challenging. 00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:49.519 I know all these ex these explanations, that's in quotes, are spiritual versions of blaming the victim. 00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:58.640 They derive from patriarchal religious systems, which were purposely designed to rationalize hierarchies, injustice, and the status quo. 00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:01.279 And this is one of my favorite sentences, this next one. 00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:05.920 I'm like, so just sit, are you listen, perk your ears up? 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:19.279 All patriarchal systems are self-justifying, and the mind dwelling within these systems is capable of monstrous rationalizations in order to keep those tautologies intact. 00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:20.160 Monstrous. 00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:21.519 That's all you need to know. 00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:22.400 Yeah. 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:29.359 They move into what's necessary or what we need to start doing. 00:24:29.359 --> 00:24:40.000 This this uh feminine spirituality must begin with the fact of being alive as a biological body on a living and conscious biological planet. 00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.640 This is the human ontological condition. 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:47.440 This is the condition of all human evolution and all creative human activity. 00:24:47.440 --> 00:25:00.000 Those who embrace spirituality as an escape from politics, as a transcendence of political exgeneses simply do not understand what feminist spirituality means at its root. 00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:07.119 The joining of the conscious body and the conscious spirit in the ongoing epiphany of experienced evolution. 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:10.319 And you see that, and this is what this book is kind of like. 00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:12.240 Don't use that to escape. 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:20.480 It's almost, I don't know if

they're trying to say like it's almost not impossible, but for true spirituality, you can't be alone or isolated in it. 00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:21.680 No, it's communal. 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:25.440 It's an expert and it could be communal both you and a tree. 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:33.519 And it's yeah, but it's the politics that like that are the politics as in like the patriarchy that are getting, you know, in the way. 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:34.559 Don't mix them up. 00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:36.240 Don't get a mix. 00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.079 The ladies are like, hold up. 00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:46.960 Because this is where with that in this world at this point, no political revolution is sustainable if if it is also not a spiritual revolution. 00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:47.440 Yeah. 00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:59.920 A complete ontological birth of new beings out of the old, equally, no spiritual activity deserves respect if it is not at the same time politically responsible, i.e., responsive activity. 00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:00.720 Yeah. 00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:05.599 We need to rethink the way that we think the world was. 00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:10.640 But we need to get ready for the next stage of human evolution. 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.000 That's what I'm saying. 00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.559 Okay. 00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:16.880 Um, the envisioned, is that how you say that? 00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.359 Envisaged, envisioned self. 00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:22.480 Envisioned, envisioned self-vision. 00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:24.480 But that's there's no N in it. 00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:24.880 I know. 00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:26.240 That's why I'm like, just make it ours. 00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:26.960 Who's gonna know? 00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:51.519 Your own self is the next stage of human evolution, and it will be born explicitly from the refusion of experienced spirit and experienced flesh, not as a means toward any externally established end, but as a consciously perceived process of evolution unfolding itself. 00:26:51.519 --> 00:27:07.200 We are evolving, and it's going to happen not by growing an extra arm or anything, but by using this thing in our head and exploring what we feel innately. 00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:15.119 And that your soul and your spirit, those spiritual things, your mind and your spirit are the same thing, right? 00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.200 Did you get that from what shit they were saying? 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:20.240 Like your thoughts are your spirituality. 00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:21.759 That's what I got from that. 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.039 I don't know if you guys so uh that's what I took from it. 00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:29.279 Yeah, like your intuition and your your knowing is your spirituality. 00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:39.200 Yes, but thoughts are that's where remember that's like what um the male god, I mean not thoughts, but that's what they they try to take away. 00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.200 And they even made your thoughts sins. 00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:42.799 Yeah, yeah. 00:27:43.039 --> 00:27:45.359 You will be feel guilty if you think that. 00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:46.079 I know. 00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:59.680 Evolution itself is a time process, seemingly a relentlessly linear unfolding, but biology also dreams, and in its dreams and waking visions, it outleaps time as well as space. 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:05.279 It experiences pre-vision, clairvoyance, telepathy, synchronicity. 00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:12.960 Thus, what we have, what has been called a magical capacity built into our genes. 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.440 It is built into the physical universe. 00:28:15.440 --> 00:28:17.680 Synchronicity is a quantum phenomenon. 00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.240 This is my notes are I'm like, this is super woo-woo. 00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:21.519 Yeah, I love the woo-woo. 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:24.319 But it is, it's so it's woo-woo, good woo-woo woo. 00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:34.079 But this, we've talked before about that ability to dream, and that, you know, we've read this whole book, and their answer is they're like, you gotta get back to that, people. 00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:35.039 You gotta open up that. 00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:36.480 Yeah, and that and that ability to do that. 00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:39.200 So you said this, the spirituality is connected to your brain. 00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:46.319 The creativity, all of those things are what is God, right? 00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:49.920 Um, I don't know why this is in italics. 00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:56.240 I don't know if this is what she's saying, because there's nobody that quotes it, but it's like a little looks like a quote, it's in italics. 00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:59.039 God is the universe. 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.839 We are all now living inside the body of God. 00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:06.640 There is nowhere to go to get there. 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:08.400 We are already here. 00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.759 There is nowhere to go to get outside of God. 00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:15.039 There is just a forgetting of this truth. 00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:20.559 It is impossible not to be living right now and always within God's body. 00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:26.000 It is only possible to be aware or unaware of this fact. 00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:26.960 And I'm aware. 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:28.079 Trip out on that. 00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:28.960 I'm aware. 00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:29.920 Did you see this?
