Today’s message is an off the cuff recording (audio quality gets better about 2 minutes in, apologies!) about Easter, Martin Luther King Jr., the gospels as preaching the holiness of debt cancellation, and the assimilation of revolutionary thought and figures to be used as weapons of obedience and shame against the people.
I talk about all of this and more in this week’s audio, but some points that come up:
The parallels between the assimilation of MLK and Jesus into dominant oppressive culture
The total hypocrisy of the use of MLK’s non-violent civil rights approach as a way to quell radical protest and change today
The weird Christian death cult obsession with the cross and crucifixion
The passion being used to scare and guilt people into belief in Christianity and the disempowerment that comes from that
The end of the messianic figure in radical movements
Why I teach about Christ consciousness - the story of Yeshua as not just one of sacrifice and martyrdom, but one of revelation about all of our inherent capacity to connect to divinity
My Easter rituals this year: Easter memes, prayer, weed, eating deviled eggs, lighting candles, and working. So I’m keeping it short and sweet this time! As usual, you can work with me 1:1 through the links below!
