Greetings one and all, and Peace be with you.
.
(The Taizokai Mandala)
.
I had to write this post in response to the Wise Rob Fedders, who commented on my last post.
.
I hope that this will allow my readers to share in my thinking... and hopefully you guys won't go to sleep while reading it!!

Mamonaku,
.
Another spectacular piece by you!
.
This simple quote really jumps out at me:
.
"(The Taizkai Mandala: No one can escape the law of Karma, or Sin.)"
.
In my own studying, this is something that is coming up over and over again.
.
(The Taizokai Mandala).
Thanks Mr. Fedders!
.
However, I know nothing, and understand nothing. Only God knows all, and all praise is due to Him alone.
.
I have acquired what little knowledge I know only through a whole lot of study, meditation, prayer, and painful training at the hands of my master of the martial arts.
.
He is a true warrior wizard, to whom I owe a great deal!
.
About the Mandala:The Taizokai Mandala is the "Womb Mandala," that represents the Universe. I was hoping that someone would pick up on this; as it is the linchpin of my way of thinking.
.
I first learned of this image while I was undergoing strict training in the Japanese warrior arts. My master taught me many things: physical, mental, and spiritual.
.
What the image is showing us is that the Universe breaks down into three Sacred components:
.
Thought
.
Word
.
Deed.
.
With these three things, the universe is made. It contains all that is. We are not separated from these three, but we ARE these three things.
.
When people say that we are the "sons of God," its not a joke, or an allegory. It is a very real fact.
.
Not because we have Godlike power, but because we are made in His image, and can become "gods by grace:"
.
But let no one believe about the only-begotten Son just what they believe about those who are colled the sons of God by grace and not by nature, as the evangelist says, "He gave them power to become the sons of God," 1108 and according to what the Lord Himself also mendtioned, as declared in the law, "I said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High:"

.
Every thought, every word, and every action has direct consequences and affects everything in our world.

.
Ten Thousand Rivers flow into the Sea.
.
Many people make the mistake that they are living in a world with many separate components.
.
For example, people think about:
.
My car...
.
This house...
.
That terrorist attack...
.
Melissa's blog...
.
and so forth.
.
This is a mistake.
.
God's kingdom does not consist of ten thousand separate things... but ONE massive whole.
.
God is ONE.
.
And yet, He is three:
.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
.
Thought, Word, and Deed.
.
The Greek Church calls Christ the Logos, or the Eternal Word.
.
"By whom all things were made."
.
It is wrong to say God is One, as it is wrong to say God is three-fold.
.
He is BOTH, at the same time, always and forever.
.
As it is written:
.
"For I am Yahweh, I shall not change" (Malachi 3:6a, The Scriptures)
"For I am Yahweh, I shall not change" (Malachi 3:6a, The Scriptures)
.
Yahushua Messiah is the same yesterday, and today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, The Scriptures)
.
The council of Yahweh stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations. (Psalms 33:11, The Scriptures)
.
I know that whatever Elohim does is forever. There is no adding to it, and there is no taking from it. (Ecclesiastes 3:14a, The Scriptures)
.
Mr. Fedders continues:
Mr. Fedders continues:
.
And I would like to make this following argument from a purely agnostic point of view.
.
It is apparent that every successful society is based on the patriarchal family - the joining of men to the reproduction cycle/family by marriage.
.
Virtually every patriarchal marriage-society is derived from a religion that lays out the religious law directly and soundly in regard to how marriages & society should be.
.
Every Patriarchally based religion ALSO seems to have very strong wording in regard to that very statement:
.
"The Taizokai Mandala: No one can escape the law of Karma, or Sin."
.
.
/100% Agreed.
.
When I began writing my Rights of Man series, I pointed out that:
.
Now dear reader, we have heard from two different sources about how the father is a “sperm donor.” And biologically, this is true. However, you also know how desperately needed fathers are in the development and survival (especially in today's crack filled Ghettos) of their children.
.
Therefore I take issue slightly with these great authors by saying that they are arguing from a position from weakness, whereas I will argue from a position of strength. God's law is on our side gentlemen.
.
I will boldly claim that a man’s desire for a family is a natural and a moral idea implanted in his spirit by the Creator. And if the barriers to having said family are not prohibitively high, most men will act on these desires honorably.
And I meant what I wrote.
And I meant what I wrote.
.
Some men attempt to argue for the Rights of Man meekly; as if they doubt, in their heart of hearts, that Men have natural rights that ought to be respected.
.
However, there are universal truths that cannot be redefined; there are laws in place that no man, or woman can disregard with any measurable degree of success.
.
Patriarchy is one of these.
.
It is written:
.
“But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death (Proverbs 8:36).”
Living in the Matriarchy reminds me of a person jumping off a cliff naked in defiance of the Law of Gravity.

.
We can choose to break the law, but we will suffer the consequences for our actions all the same.
.
Knowing this fact, only a fool would jump from the cliff. But, many people, in their delusion and ignorance, choose to defy the Natural Laws that the Master has set into motion.
.
To their own destruction.

(I will refer to the Bible from here, as it is the religion we are all most familiar with)
(I will refer to the Bible from here, as it is the religion we are all most familiar with)
.
The Bible tells us the same thing: The Lion will not lie down with the Lamb (on Earth).
.
God tells us that good and evil is all around us. God tells us that mankind cannot defeat evil. Only God can defeat evil. We, mankind, are told to fight evil and to resist it but ONLY GOD can defeat evil, and we are released from the belief that WE, mankind, are so powerful as to be God himself by thinking that we can defeat evil.
.
Now, the notion of Good & Evil, of Black & White, and the Yin & Yang are truly as old as mankind and likely time itself. Every successful religion acknowledges this in one form or another - and then goes on to discuss with mankind his eternal struggles with Good & Evil... the undefeatableness of the Yin & Yang.
.
Agreed.
.
God moves in His own time. Yin is replaced with Yang, Yang is replaced with Yin.
.
Even in our age of Yin (the feminine principle), there are still vibrant pockets of Yang (the male principle) . Even in our Matriarchy, there is still Manliness afoot.
.
Working, ever so quietly, to supplant and upend our Yin dominant culture.
.
There is no stopping it. Resistance is Futile!!
.
Men in general have to remember two things.
.
1) We are not separate beings seeking to turn the wheel of Darma. We ARE the wheel, inseparable from it, grinding down all resistance in our path.
.
2) The natural law is on our side. God Himself has said numerous times that Patriarchy and headship by Men is the preferred order on this Earth, until He returns with power and glory to Judge both the living and the dead.
.
It is written:
.
But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3).
But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3).
.
To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master (Genesis 3:16).
.
Even though, at the present time, we are under the dominion of women, and men who defer to women...
.
Since it is not the "preferred" order of things, the dominion of woman is maintained with great difficulty and high cost.
.
You know as well as I do that our society today is far and away worse off since we entered the age of Yin.
.
It won't last very long.
.
The effort to maintain it, is simply too great.
.
Whether one believes in religion/God or not, if we establish that all successful societies were based on the religious foundation of Patriarchal Marriage... patriarchal marriage leads to a growing and successful society... that indeed does, from an agnostic point of view, support that the Bible (religious marriage) is indeed the "Book of Life" and therefore it also becomes the "Book of Truth." And in the "Book of Truth" we are told that Good & Evil (Polar Opposites) are all around us - and we cannot defeat them!

.
We cannot defeat them, and it only brings suffering when Men rebel against the established order.
.
The goal is to seek harmony with the Universe, as represented by the Taizokai Mandala, while at the same time, cultivating a spirit that does not change no matter how much the Universe does.
.
This idea is represented by the Kongokai Mandala.
.
.
To rail against the Universe without changing yourself is wrong, and to change yourself without being in harmony with the Universe is also wrong.
.
God is God without man; man is nothing without God.
.
But God gives us FREE WILL, and together, man can "move mountains."
.
Working together in harmony, in accordance to the law of Heaven.
.
Mankind CANNOT bring about heaven on earth. To say that mankind can create heaven on earth is indeed for mankind to deny the Yin & Yang.
Mankind CANNOT bring about heaven on earth. To say that mankind can create heaven on earth is indeed for mankind to deny the Yin & Yang.
.
It is all about earth and sky, fire and water, night and day, man and woman... everywhere around us in the very nature of nature/father sky/mother earth herself - there is no denying the polar opposites. They are positively everywhere - this IS nature.
.
Now, from my interpretation of Marx's Utopia (which is Heaven on Earth), what is Karl Marx saying to do?
.
Marx believes that Utopia (Heaven on Earth) is possible if mankind can somehow be suspended between the Yin & Yang - and then to collapse all of the other structures of mankind.
.
.
Excellent points!
.
Way back when I started on my History of Feminism series, I wrote:
.
The philosophers are flawed in all of their thinking simply because they deny the existence of the Divinity, from where all knowledge springs. The Bible makes clear that “As God says in the Scriptures, "I will destroy the wisdom of all who claim to be wise. I will confuse those who think they know so much." (Corinthians 1:18).

The Bible makes clear that “As God says in the Scriptures, "I will destroy the wisdom of all who claim to be wise. I will confuse those who think they know so much." (Corinthians 1:18).
.
Marx, Engles, Friedan, Nietzsche...All flawed because they were not in tune with the source of all knowledge. The thought that by their reason alone, they could rewrite Natural Law to suit themselves best.
.
The Lankavatara Sutra tells us that:
.
Discrimination of self-nature is to make discriminations according to the views of the philosophers in reference to the self-nature of all things which they imagine and stoutly maintain to be true, saying: "This is just what it is and it cannot be otherwise." Discrimination of cause is to distinguish the notion of causation in reference to being and non-being and to imagine that there are such things as "cause-signs."

Discrimination of cause is to distinguish the notion of causation in reference to being and non-being and to imagine that there are such things as "cause-signs."
.
Discrimination of philosophical views means considering different views relating to the notions of being and nonbeing, oneness and otherness, bothness and not-bothness, existence and non-existence, all of which are erroneous, and becoming attached to particular views.
.
Discrimination of reasoning means the teaching whose reasoning is based on the grasping of the notion of an ego-substance and what belongs to it. Discrimination of birth means getting attached to the notion that things come into existence and pass out of existence according to causation.
.
Discrimination of no-birth is to see that causeless substances which were not, come into existence by reason of causation.Discrimination of dependence means the mutual dependence of gold and the filament made of it. Discrimination of bondage and imagination is like imagining that there is something bound because of something binding, as in the case of a man who ties a knot and loosens one.

Mr. Fedders continues:
.
This is where we get the eternal Marxist drive to equalize/homosexualize/androgynize everything about mankind - and then hold it in place and collapse all other things... to bring forth the "New Kind of Man" who will live in Marx's Utopia (Heaven on Earth).
.
Karl Marx is talking about how to force the Lion to lie with the Lamb (with Totalitarianism) by denying that the Yin and Yang exist. He is saying that mankind can be God & defeat nature itself & create Heaven. He is going against the very "Book of Truth" itself.
.
This is why he embraces Hegel's "Truth is Relative" and why Marx posits that he will use this philosophy to change the world.
.
He is going to deny absolute truth and manipulate mankind with the "Truth is Relative" to make the truth whatever he needs it to be at the moment - always working towards the denial of the Polar Opposites that make up nature itself!
.
Marx is going against "Truth." Truth = Life, and therefore Karl Marx is advocating for Death.
.
.
My thoughts exactly!
.
I wrote previously:
.
However, if we look at the utopias of North Korea, the People’s Republic of China, the U.S.S.R., Eastern Europe, and others, we see the truth of Marxist thought. The way of Marxist-Feminism is the way of Death.

We humans blame God for so much of our troubles. We accuse Him of being cruel, and of abandoning His creation.When I hear or read commentary like this, I always remember a passage from the most Manly of works, The Odyssey:
.
"Men are so quick to blame the gods:they say that we devise their misery.But they themselves - in their depravity -design grief greater thanthe griefs the fates assign."
.
.
As represented by the Taizokai and the Kongokai...
.
and as told to us by God Himself in His word...
.
We have freewill, but unfortunately, WE human beings, male and female alike, choose to hold selfish and deluded views, to assign blame to others when we should be looking at ourselves, to rely on our own powers when we should be looking to Him for wisdom and understanding.
.
Marxism and feminism are failed philosophies of men that were too smart for their own good.

If one examines the theory of Urreligion (all religions derive from a Universal Primordeal Religion = the Universal Truths), and in fact religions are parables of mankind's follies since the times of the Stone Age, from whence Religions came... Religions and ancient legends/lore/mythology are a twinkling of a remembrance of the Fall of Man.

Religions and ancient legends/lore/mythology are a twinkling of a remembrance of the Fall of Man.
.
All religions and mythology seem to play on this one universal theme:
.
The Fall of Man from Paradise --> Man's Eternal Struggles between Good & Evil (cannot be defeated by man himself, he must accept it) --> but he can endure the struggle of Yin and Yang by being given Hope (Pandora's box... return to Paradise).
.
But mankind MUST accept the Yin and Yang - accepting the existence of Polar Opposites = Life itself.
.
Karl Marx denying the Polar Opposites = Death itself.
.
Therefore, when we get men like Abraham (the father of 3 successful religions) being told by the one true God (truth, life), that he must reject the idols of his father (in Tyre, I believe... worship of Goddesses = Matriarchy...), and God tells him to leave such wickedness and go forth into the wilderness...Lol! Well Abraham is the first MGTOW!
.
Haha yes indeed... I never thought about the original Patriarch in those terms... But very true none the less.
.
This theme plays over and over again.
This theme plays over and over again.
.
Soddom and Gomorrah were immoral and homosexual. (Homosexuality is the denial of Yin and Yang), and God "wipes them from the face of the earth." They ignored THE Universal Truth... whether they were really smitten with fire and brimstone or whether the story is a parable about people who embraced Matriarchal Androgyny and ended up dying out as a result - it really matters very little - the fact is that they were "wiped from the face of the earth" because they ignored the Universal Truth.
.
I agree with most of your analysis, although I would like to dispute the notion that homosexuality is a denial of Yin and Yang.If we look closely at the Yin and Yang symbol:
.
One will note that there is a small portion of Yang (white color) in the Yin (black color), and vice versa.
.
Please consider:
.
.
Sex and Character, by Otto Weininger advances an interesting theory with respect to the nature of the sexes.
.
"In the widest treatment of most living things, a blunt separation of them into males and females no longer suffices for the known facts. The limitations of these conceptions have been felt more or less by many writers. The first purpose of this work is to make this point clear...
.
... Sexual differentiation, in fact, is never complete. All the peculiarities of the male sex may be present in the female in some form, however weakly developed; and so also the sexual characteristics of the woman persist in the man, although perhaps they are not so completely rudimentary. The characters of the other sex occur in the one sex in a vestigial form. Thus, in the case of human beings, in which our interest is greatest, to take an example, it will be found that the most womanly woman has a growth of colourless hair, known as "lanugo" in the position of the male beard; and in the most manly man there are developed under the skin of the breast, masses of glandular tissue connected with the nipples. This condition of things has been minutely investigated in the true genital organs and ducts, the region called the "urino-genital tract," and in each sex there has been found a complete but rudimentary set of parallels to the organs of the other sex.
.
. . . The fact is that males and females are like two substances combined in different proportions, but with either element never wholly missing. We find, so to speak, never either a man or a woman, but only the male condition and the female condition. Any individual is never to be designated merely as a man or a woman, but by a formula showing that it is a composite of male and female characters in different proportions..."
.
In a nutshell, hard and fast definitions of Masculinity and Femininity are false, according to Weininger.
.
We should understand the qualities of being male and female on a sliding scale, and every person falls on this scale.
.
Most Feminine --- Moderately Feminine --- Slightly Feminine
.
Most Masculine --- Moderately Masculine --- Slightly Masculine
.
And while the majority of biological females are "Feminine dominant", there are women with a "Manly spirit".
.
Likewise that the majority of biological males are "Manly Dominant", there are men with a "Feminine nature"... aka Girly men.
.
With this in mind, I believe that there are some Homosexual men (please remember that the Bible does not condemn intercourse involving two women) that contain a whole lotta Yin with a Yang outer shell.
.
What does this mean with respect to the laws of God? That is truly a Mystery.
.
It is clear that God condemns Homosexual male intercourse. However, on a personal level, I don't truly believe that God will condemn those homosexuals that are truly Gay due to their biology, and seek His Face instead of engaging in outright rebellion.
.
This is something to meditate on.
.
We too live in a Matriarchy that worships adrogyny (sameness, denial of Yin and Yang), and our birthrates are plummeting and we will soon be wiped from the face of the earth. We are ignoring the Universal Truth of Polar Opposites.

Polar Opposites CREATE life.
.
Karl Marx denies truth... and promotes the way of death... warned to us from the earliest of times.
.
We have to embrace the polar opposites to have life.
.
Marxist ideology is the belief that man is in fact God himself - and so powerful is mankind that he can defeat the Yin and Yang. This is anti-truth. Anti-truth = death.
.
"The Taizokai Mandala: No one can escape the law of Karma, or Sin."
.
A Universal Truth. Embracing opposites = life.
.
Lol! I guess this is kind of a long comment... the rambling of Rob trying to figure things out!
.
Not long at all!!
.
Although I apologize to my readers for my long winded, and utterly boring, reply.
.
All of us need to have these inward journeys, in order to discover what is the truth, no matter where it may lead.
.
Rob, I understand where you are going with your thoughts. You are seeking to integrate the teachings of Christ with the wisdom of the East.
.
I recommend the book, "Christ the Eternal Tao". It will enlighten you my friend.
.
.
While I still know nothing, and understand nothing, I have the good fortune of being exposed to ancient knowledge that not many people will ever have the chance to learn. But I've had to put in some serious work: Meditation, Prayer, Fasting, and Bible study.
.
One last thing I would like to share with my readers...
.
You've heard that "Form is emptiness, and Emptiness is form."
.
But translated from the Japanese, we can also get:
.
"Form is everything, and everything is form."
.
Please think about this.Who made the form?
.
What force is able to be Everything?
.
And once you are enlightened, seek His Face.
.
Mamonaku.

Quotation added by Rob:
.
"As I see it, our revolutionary task is to destroy phallic identity in men and masochistic nonidentity in women--that is, to destroy the polar realities of men and women as we now know them so that this division of human flesh into two camps--one an armed camp and the other a concentration camp--is no longer possible. Phallic identity is real and it must be destroyed. Female masochism is real and it must be destroyed." -- Andrea Dworkin, Our Blood: Prophecies And Discourses On Sexual Politics - The Root Cause, (Harper & Row, 1976)
