“Abel was Jesus. It gets worse from there. You live in Cain (qanah’s) world. All throughout that book, one story keeps getting repeated. The mundane power challenges the divine power which is its source and guide. The mundane power is divisive (Cain was a tiller of earth, literally he ‘divided matters’) mechanical, legalistic, tyrannical, and extremely focused upon function and language. The divine power is creative, unitive, transentient, and broad. These two powers are our brain hemispheres. Not just metaphorically. Hilariously, nearly all the churches are utterly owned by the power they suppose they oppose, and they have little or no chance or recognizing this. The mark of the divine is not stasis but change, not law but intimacy, not rock, but water. What has happened is this: the good servant of the Right Hemisphere, its technician, its divider — became overproud, forgot the power of his sources, and attacked them with the goal of supplanting them. This caused him to at once forget them, and become their keeper… for he shall be forever haunted by the greater portion of himself which, being his source, lies beneath the awareness of his conscious mind, which must remain concerned with the fictions that keep the smallest part of it aping the role of god. And so on, in our families, cultures, natures… and so on.”
