Whether we see the motive action as Moses’ refusal to simply let the water flow and be satisfied with what came, or whether we see the motive action as Moses’ clear dissatisfaction with what he and his people were given, the consequence is the same: continued exile and strife over crucial resources. I very much claim that G_d, here, is the G_d Moses introduced to us in Exodus 3:13-14 which is the living G_d and is dynamic and immersed in (not removed, or transcendent in the sense of being removed entirely from) all of life, AND that if Moses had paid attention to G_d, he would have stayed where he was and would not have subjected his people to continued needless struggle, and other people to his people’s craven desire for their land and resources. Difficulties follow when we do not work with G_d – difficulties such as instability, fragmenting communities and wars. That’s the message of the passage you cite, which is extremely interesting from a psychological point of view since, when you denigrate my experience of G_d as worthless and exalt yourself above the community which G_d otherwise makes possible with me by happily dismissing my latest essay without reading it, you, too, are rejecting G_d and inviting violence against yourself. Your clear intent is to provoke a violent reaction in me, and violence, as we can see from the passages you cited, will get you nothing but more violence and confusion. All that is left to say is thanks for degrading yourself and proving my point: that those of you who force your will against the living G_d by choosing to do violence to others do nothing but put yourselves outside of G_d’s presence by creating enmity in others and destroying good will. I guess the moral of the story is that if you’re going to read literature, then read it; if you’re going to worship G_d, you could do no better than to do as Jesus bade you, which is to use all your mind, HEART and strength.Saoirse, freedom4saoirse@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246292802604467782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820078255477039264.post-75064353186202941142010-12-30T12:44:30.088-05:002010-12-30T12:44:30.088-05:00As for Numbers 27:12-14, again – what’s most fasci...As for Numbers 27:12-14, again – what’s most fascinating about this passage is not what we’re told G_d ‘tells’ Moses he can’t do, but what G_d ‘tells’ Moses he must do: go back up the mountain he’s gone to time and time again to commune with G_d ‘for the sake of the people.’ Someone once said great souls grow great alone, and certainly, this monastic contemplation we see Moses engaging in right up until his death is what made him a great soul – a ‘servant of G_d.’ Here, we see Moses getting a metaphorical ‘time out’ to think about the consequences of what he’s done – he’s dragged his people around from one place to another, looking for a more habitable place than the place where he struck the rocks to get the water his people needed, and then dragooned them into wars with the Canaanites and others for better access to that precious resource. What other course of action would we expect of a contemplative – “for the sake of” his people? Of course he felt compelled to take himself out of a position of leadership and go and do some ‘soul searching;’ he’d almost destroyed his people, needlessly. What Moses was writing about in Numbers 27 and in Deuteronomy was his misgivings about having been too hasty with his people and G_d when he decided the water they had discovered wasn’t good enough for them (gee, that's an implausible theory isn't it - Jewish guilt?). Even after all his people and their livestock were satiated, Moses decides they still have to wander around for a better source – one that didn’t require much in the way of effort, or even much faith, to provoke. He was regretting having led his people from a perfectly peaceful place with which they could have made due and built their society to a more abundant, more established place where their future would be assured – but only once they had conquered the people already there. Why didn’t he just say he was sorry? He didn’t say he was sorry for having led his people around on sometimes needless quests because he was allegedly doing G_d’s work; it was G_d that made him lead his people certain ways, not he, himself, and to deny G_d’s influence after all those years would have been to question G_d’s existence. Moses wasn’t about to do that just at the moment his people finally fulfilled their quest. After all, the truth that G_d is is just that – truth – and if he and Aaron could understand this, he knew there would be others who understood it, too.<br /><br />So I maintain that, however Moses wavered in his writings over his conceptualization of G_d, it is most certainly knowledge of the living G_d that prompted him to continually seek to know G_d’s ‘will.’ And knowing doesn’t mean talking or writing about G_d. An image is an image. God is an image of G_d, not G_d. What requires engagement in the here and now cannot be discussed to be understood, not even if we use images to do so. If we propose to discuss G_d, we must take care when we do not to degrade G_d as God. That’s why Moses wrote Exodus 3:13-14. When Moses engaged G_d in his contemplations, this is what he struggled with – how to impart the wisdom he received to a people who themselves were unused to engaging in the here and now to know G_d; these were former idol worshippers, remember. Moses had a lot to think about once his term as the Israelites’ leader ended, and he couldn’t do it while living amongst those people who expected perfect and divine intervention delivered from a perfect puppet master through him – even if the only way he could explain his departure from them was to use this image of G_d. This is what forced Moses into exile, not God.Saoirse, freedom4saoirse@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246292802604467782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820078255477039264.post-39446769166390621852010-12-30T12:43:08.916-05:002010-12-30T12:43:08.916-05:00Numbers 21:1-35 deals entirely with the attack the...Numbers 21:1-35 deals entirely with the attack the Canaanites led against the Israelites and the Israelites’ determination to defeat them and take their resource-rich land (why wait to find out if your water source is going to be sufficient to support a new country when you can simply take a proven one?), which they espied in their continued wanderings. And so it goes – in the City of Hor, in Arnon and Jabbok (now, Zurka), in Bashan (now, part of Jordan), etc. – the Israelites fought with everyone to either be allowed to stay where they were, or to move through some water-bearing land on their way to this as-yet-undecided promised land which turned out to be Canaan. So the likelihood of this first place “G_d” forced the Israelites from being Canaan – the actual land of promise that I referenced in my comment on Ricky Gervais’ essay – is nil, which means that you are selectively reading your Bible to suit your own needs – not to mention, my comment. I’d say this gives us more in common than it separates us, but that would be a lie since I read the Bible for what it is – a fascinating piece of literature that records the ancient wisdom and history of a people whose influences we feel today in so many ways. You read it to use as a weapon against others.

It records the first two or so, and then the last, years of their nomadic journeys, which is significant because we don’t know how many other times Moses’ and his people’s ‘faith’ may have flagged in these years, and we certainly don’t know how they would have perceived the results of having fallen away from G_d, or what, if any, were the consequences to them for having done so. Indeed, the ‘punishment’ G_d ‘gives’ the people of Israel in these passages – to continue their wanderings and be at war with all those they meet – seems really very merciless considering that the infraction which led to it was the simple act of hitting a rock instead of ‘speaking’ to it so that it produced water (this passage, interestingly, has long been cited as the first in historical writings of an account of water witching, or using divining rods to ascertain the location, depth and flow of water veins – a very frustrating activity that can make anyone want to hit rocks, I can assure you). But in Exodus 7:15, G_d instructs Moses to strike rocks in order to bring forth water. So, just as these people’s understanding of G_d is clearly still evolving, so, too, is their understanding of G_d’s will for and instructions to them (not to mention, their dowsing skills), the further proof being that in Numbers 6, there is the suggestion that the Israelites were again beginning to fragment and lose their ‘faith,’ so that Moses and Aaron took refuge up a mountain once again to confer and commune with G_d for guidance. G_d is difficult to know and requires just what Jesus said of us – an application of all of our mind, heart and strength. The sacrilege referred to in this story isn’t that the people in it doubt that god exists; it’s that they doubt that G_d exists. They doubt that their patience and forbearance can create in a place of questionable hospitality the society of peace and freedom and abundance they dream, and it is this doubt that forces them to keep wandering around in search of a better place to settle, to their detriment. Were they forced by a puppet master type G_d to leave these springs, or were they disinclined to stay because water, they believed, was easier and more abundant elsewhere, notwithstanding the wars they would have to fight to get it? Clearly, their dowsing skills, if nothing else, needed honing.<br /><br />Numbers 13-14 tell us Moses sent a messenger to the King of Edom to arrange passage through Edomite and then down around Moab to Palestine, their ultimate destination goal, and after having been refused by King Edom, there follow other passages detailing the struggles of the Israelites to find a safe passage through and/or around one kingdom after another. If you were traveling in the desert, wouldn’t your chief priority be to find water? That’s what they were looking for – that’s what would indicate to them that they had found “the promised land.” In fact, what becomes clear as we read further into the book of Numbers, is that this war for water the Israelites must wage against one nation after another (whose borders they breach to attain the vital material or passage to a land that had it) is the punishment these people endure for not being satisfied with the water they were given. Good things come to those who wait. To those who don’t, well . . .Saoirse, freedom4saoirse@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246292802604467782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820078255477039264.post-62979850101170954692010-12-30T12:40:37.555-05:002010-12-30T12:40:37.555-05:00Congratulations – you caught me. I am not, as any...Congratulations – you caught me. I am not, as anyone who reads my blog would deduce, a fundamentalist literalist who’s read the Bible multiple times. So I had to go back and re-read Numbers and do a little text analysis [link] before replying to your comment, for which I thank you. After all, I’ve only read the Bible in its entirety once and thereafter only on those occasions I’ve needed the support its wisdom can provide, and even though that’s still one more time than Jesus did (since most of it was written long after his death), I still find I need the guidance of others equally as wise as Moses and the other authors of the books of the Bible, such as Martin Buber and his I and Thou. [link] I have no problem doing what Jesus advised us to do when trying to understand G_d; I love to use not merely my mind, but my heart and perseverance as well. Though this is the only comment I have received (or have been allowed to receive) on my Christmas blog (see sidebar for explanation), herewith is my reply.<br /><br />Though you are correct that Numbers 20:8-12 describes Moses’ belief that G_d is punishing him for his lack of faith in G_d’s ability to provide a permanent source of water for him, his people and their livestock, what you fail to mention is (1) that this ‘punishment’ was meted out to all the Israelites, not just to Moses, and consisted of them being ‘forced’ to continue their wanderings for what we now have determined to be another year or so and to make war with those who impeded their journey to the ‘promised land;’ and (2) though Moses faltered in his faith in G_d’s ability to provide for them in this passage, G_d nevertheless did provide the water Moses and his people needed – it just wasn’t as easy to get, or reliably abundant, as they had seen other water sources in their wanderings. That word, ‘forced,’ is in inverse quotes because it’s a word that must be qualified. It’s unclear not merely to us but to them as well whether, if they simply had waited for the three springs at the juncture of this rock to fill up again, they would not have been rewarded amply for having done so, if only by not having to go to war with the goodly numbers of people whom they subsequently encountered and fought with for access to more abundant supplies of water. War was something they could little afford since the elders of this first generation of free Israelites were dying off, as the death of Miriam (Aaron’s wife) in Numbers 20 indicates. Here, we at least see Moses justifying to his people why they would have to continue their journeys. It was either that, or stay and have merely some water which they would have to constantly dig for in the dry season. Moses knew his people needed a never-ending, free-flowing, unimpeded sources of water and he also knew that there were such sources elsewhere – sources that had given birth to other thriving civilizations such as the one he coveted for his people. What’s interesting about this passage is that it is a passage about being impatient and greedy – and having to suffer for one’s impatience and greed the consequences of them. It is clearly not the Biblical passage to which my comment on Ricky Gervais’ essay refers, which is Numbers 27:12-14 (and Deuteronomy 1:37, as well as Deuteronomy 3:25-27). Those are Moses’ musings about why he forfeited the opportunity to go with the Israelites into Canaan after this difficult 40-year trek. But since you’ve offered us this passage to analyze, I shall oblige.Saoirse, freedom4saoirse@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246292802604467782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820078255477039264.post-8647692949633971662010-12-28T23:25:06.194-05:002010-12-28T23:25:06.194-05:00I read your reply to Ricky Gervais' post, but ...I read your reply to Ricky Gervais' post, but not much of the extra stuff here, and I have two comments.<br /><br />One is that there is nothing in your five year old epiphany that suggests to me that G-d had anything to do with it. It probably does to you because you are predisposed to see the hand of god (omnipotent & omnipresent, as your dad said) in action.<br /><br />Also, if I recall correctly, Moses was not allowed to enter the promised land because he disobeyed G-d, striking a rock to get water from it, rather than speaking to it, as he was told.

Wait. We have not one, but TWO, soldiers sharing their thoughts about poverty here, and NEITHER one mentions anything about the low-intensity conflict being used by our military (the Joint Forces, which are stationed right here) against Americans that ILLEGALLY dissented against the Bush regime's invasion, occupation and colonization of Iraq (because dissent is now illegal)? That LIC includes COINTELPRO that slanders Americans out of the workforce and MK-Ultra that cell controls us targets until it institutionalizes us. Evidence of all of this - and so much more - is everywhere, in the government's own words, but you make it sound as though the poverty is somehow organic because of the alleged (but in no way actual) left-right political dichotomy. Fascists of both the Democratic and Republican parties (as well as every other one that has undermined shared, public government by advocating "free-market solutions" to problems that didn't exist) have given us the mess we are in, and those quislings on the front lines ought to have been the ones testifying to the fascist takeover of our country and rallying people to fight THEM, not perpetuating the myths those Fascists have spun to keep us fighting one another instead. The New York Times was exposed a long time ago as the propaganda machine that it is - doing the same misdirection work you are doing. That your bully pulpit is backed by the same people that back them (hence, your willing validation of them) as well as your censorship of my comments proves my point.Saoirse, freedom4saoirse@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246292802604467782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820078255477039264.post-27062377317901093532010-07-09T22:35:31.703-04:002010-07-09T22:35:31.703-04:00I think you are referring to Constantine and the c...I think you are referring to Constantine and the chuch Paul created, not the social movement John the Baptist and Jesus began 325 years before Constantine sought to appease the growing population of adherents by creating the Council of Nicea. Mob rule screws up everything, doesn't it? Personally, I have a difficult time reconciling the Jesus in the Gospel of St. John who said, basically, that he didn't want groupies with the Jesus in the Gospel of St. Paul who allegedly said he woul build "his chuch" on St. Paul (his "rock"). That doesn't sound like the same dude to me, and where the Gospel of St. Mark is the earliest, and we have now evidence of Jesus' time in India (now, Nepal), with the Buddhist monks, I have to believe Jesus intended us to be self-directed in our ethical relationships (his most important prescriptive were only two and directed to individuals - to "love" G_d, etc. and to behave ethically by treating others as you wish to be treated). Way less prescriptive than the Jewish tradition from which he came, yet just prescriptive enough to avoid the self-indulgence and lack of compassion in, for example, the Buddhism he studied. History tells us, in fact, he hied out of the Himalyas when he caught wind of an assassination plot by the monks he offended by criticizing their slithers caste system. Jesus believed everyone, no matter his or her rank in society, was capable of understanding esoteric spiritual truths, which is why, again, HE traveled to THEM to teach them not doctrinaire catechism but how to explore spiritual truth. Get rid of the ego through the eight-fold path? No. For better or worse, you've got an ego that must be tempered by grace, not suppressed or destroyed. Can you think of a more egomaniacal exercise than perseverating on ego until you take yourself out of the world by becoming an aesthete? Really! Such a funny paradox, but you've got to love Sidhartha for trying. And all philosophers, just for their willingness to make fools of themselves. I love Jesus for pushing the envelope, so to speak, in the area of practical application of spiritual truth. He lived in the world, and gave us a damned fine manual to help us do the same. Not an easy one to use, but comprehensive nonetheless.Saoirse, freedom4saoirse@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246292802604467782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820078255477039264.post-48841856438689754842010-07-07T21:57:39.264-04:002010-07-07T21:57:39.264-04:00Of course, Christianity was kick started by a Roma...Of course, Christianity was kick started by a Roman Emperor who recognized that this religion, with its emphasis on rules and external doctrine, was ideal for governing.

This is very frightening.<br /><br />There is one thing that can bring opponents and even enemies together: fear. In this case, an Independent, Democrat and a couple Republicans are trying to push this bill through the Senate and House.<br /><br />Fear is what caused Japanese Americans to be forcibly removed from their homes, forced to sell their businesses at cut-rate prices, and forced to live in concentration camps. (And before anyone says they were "interment camps" not "concentration camps," both terms were used then and both mean the same thing).<br /><br />Fear is what has put over one million Americans on the don't fly list. And it's affected many others. A boy named Jack Anderson was repeatedly blocked from flying because there was a Jack Anderson on the list. The one listed was an adult and the boy was barely old enough to go to school, but he still got blocked several times.<br /><br />Fear is what destroyed the careers of many upstanding American citizens during the Communist hunts of the 1950s. (Ironically, even though Lucille Ball actually admitted she had been a member of the Communist Party, she wasn't blacklisted because everyone loved Lucy).<br /><br />Fear is what led to the deaths of many people claimed to be witches on the basis of a handful of screaming girls.<br /><br />By this bill, a person who rapes and murders a young child can keep his citizenship. But one who mails a check to a “bad” organization can have it stripped away.
