Can we change the Tribe name back please?

topic posted Tue, April 1, 2008 - 2:20 PM by  SKeye
I do not see the need to 'politicize' this tribe. There are places for this discussion. I am not 'for or against' Bush, only for the seeing of the ignorance that perpetuates arrogance and separation...we are all responsible for this world's plight and warring, to 'demonize' one is to separate Self and to perpetuate the warring. I am not saying the political situation should be ignored or is 'all good' and 'right', just that to try to come to a resolution through the system that is perpetuating the dysfunction will not help. It has the potential for keeping the illusion of 'our government looking out for us' going, of focusing in on a few people and not opening to the full picture of complicity and interconnectedness of all of us that is the greater potential of 'healing'.

What will be resolved if Bush is impeached? There will be a 'villian' captured and made to 'pay'? An example made of 'an-other', to keep the rest inline? If the impeachment process was one of open consideration and acknowledgment of complicity by all, then perhaps it could serve, but this is not the case. There is a lot more to this discussion, but I primarily want to support the discussion that resolves this all in the Heart...and from this can respond to the world situation with compassion and attention to peace...not vilifying and warring on 'others'.

      Be glad it wasn't "rumsfeld and you" as it was a few years ago...

          Why think thus O men of piety
          I have returned to sobriety
          I am neither a Moslem nor a Hindu
          I am not Christian, Zoroastrian, nor Jew

          I am neither of the West nor the East
          Not of the ocean, nor an earthly beast
          I am neither a natural wonder
          Nor from the stars yonder

          Neither flesh of dust, nor wind inspire
          Nor water in veins, nor made of fire
          I am neither an earthly carpet, nor gems terrestrial
          Nor am I confined to Creation, nor the Throne Celestial

          Not of ancient promises, nor of future prophecy
          Not of hellish anguish, nor of paradisic ecstasy
          Neither the progeny of Adam, nor Eve
          Nor of the world of heavenly make-believe

          My place is the no-place
          My image is without face
          Neither of body nor the soul
          I am of the Divine Whole.

          I eliminated duality with joyous laughter
          Saw the unity of here and the hereafter
          Unity is what I sing, unity is what I speak
          Unity is what I know, unity is what I seek

          Intoxicated from the chalice of Love
          I have lost both worlds below and above
          Sole destiny that comes to me
          Licentious mendicity

          In my whole life, even if once
          Forgot His name even per chance
          For that hour spent, for such moment
          I’d give my life, and thus repent

          Beloved Master, Shams-e Tabrizi
          In this world with Love I’m so drunk
          The path of Love isn’t easy
          I am shipwrecked and must be sunk.

          -Ewe No Hoooo!
