WHy doesnt kkkristianity have a GODDESS? ISnt it unnatural for a GOD not to have a GODDESS? A mAN not to have a woman? A male not to have a FEMALE? isnt this what we see in nature? Yet the unnatural kkkristian "god" doesnt have a divine female. FOr most of history, there were no gods without goddesses. ALong comes the mysogonistic and perhaps homosexual jewish and kkkristian "god" with his all male angles,all male prophets and jesus with is all male disciples. Cant forget the male trinity

remember the ancients have a knack for being closer to the present than we think and the recordings have a knack for being corrupted over time, traditions always give way eventually to non traditions this is how things keep growing like a huge forest or a tree so many stages its all alive, the essence of it can't be lost, the essence of it is the change itself, awaken ur spirit follow ur heart beyond these logic languages to the real

all of us re relly dryads

[maybealover]

when we think for ourself and hear spirit rise in us we know the truth

light and dark come together as one and create a rainbow

did you know there are black celts? this was hidden and the celtic people were seperated but this is true, this is the teaching of rastafari but because they choose to try to be kings they also lose it, no more kings, we must work with the fairies beyond distinctions of race thats the way to heal the world, nature

we are all divine! we are not judged for what people did in the past before us we are responsible for what we do right now

[maybealover]

wanti!

lets write some new spiritual texts, now that we've seen claiming divine soveriegnity doesnt work move way from the king idea, to something less speicific its not the stories which matter so much but the qualities with which we live our lives, we must have kindness equanimity openness, wisdom, we must change the errors of the past if we are to grow, stop trying to control

[maybealover]

all we have is now don't be caught up on the past, don't be caught up on status, the true native faith is in each of our hearts already just be yourself, and realize all people have suffered and also all people have rejoiced, europeans are not bad its the church after it was accepted by the monarchies and changed to seperate everyone, all were oppressed, nd set against eachother, overcome this and come togetherallare divine everything is divine, be egoless and your bounds go beyond your body
