ON SPLITS AND Splitting

[Sound of Athana getting very serious]: I wonder: is there a connection between the mind-body split and the sacred-profane split? Could both have been dropped on us at the same time by the war gods back in the BCs? With the same crinkly consequences?

The war gods have always labored to steal what's good about us -- our laughter, sensuality, beauty, sexuality, the earth under our feet -- and split it off into some separate box that has to be kept high on a shelf out of reach.

With Goddess on the other hand everything is whole. Nothing about us is splintered off and piled on some shelf somewhere because it's somehow less than sacred. Goddess adores every little thing about us -- and expects us to, too.

"sacred-profane split"

Never heard of it, and I'm not going to spend much time thinking about it.

People spend too damn much time thinking and reading about that stuff when they should just get quite and at one with the cosmos.

All books are just others boxes and we would be better off without them.

Like Einstein said, at some point in time you need to stop reading books and start thinking for yourself. Everything you need to know about your spirituality in already in your head waiting to be discovered. Hugs.
