Miami New Times | miaminewtimes.com | News : Feature Myths Over Miami,Captured on South Beach, Satan later escaped. His demons and the horrible Bloody Mary are now killing people. God has fled. Avenging angels hide out in the Everglades. And oth: "Bloody Mary commands legions. She can insinuate herself into the heart of whomever children trust most: a parent or a best friend. Miami shelter children say they learned about that from television. Salvation Army shelters offer parlors with couches, magazines, and a television. While their mothers play cards and do each other's hair, the children carefully study the TV news. They know how four-year-old Kendia Lockhart died in North Dade, allegedly beaten to death and burned by her father. Bloody Mary was hunting Kendia, shelter children agree. 'Gangsters say that God stories are like Chinese fairy tales,' observes twelve-year-old Deion at a downtown Miami Salvation Army shelter. 'But even gangs think Bloody Mary is real.'
This is the secret story shelter children will tell only in hushed voices, for it reveals Bloody Mary's mystery: God's final days before his disappearance were a waking dream. There were so many crises on Earth that he never slept. Angels reported rumors of Bloody Mary's pact with Satan: She had killed her own child and had made a secret vow to kill all human children. All night God listened as frantic prayers bombarded him. Images of earthly lives flowed across his palace wall like shadows while he heard gunfire, music, laughing, crying from all over Earth. And then one night Bloody Mary roared over the walls of Heaven with an army from Hell. God didn't just flee from the demons, he went crazy with grief over who led them. Bloody Mary, some homeless children say the spirits have told them, was Jesus Christ's mother.

Torture - Inquisition - Death Penalty - Exhibition of European Medieval Instuments of Torture and capital punishment: "This instrument consisted of two little forks one set against the other, with the four prongs rammed into the flesh, under the chin and above the chest. A small collar supported the instrument in such a manner that the victims were forced to hold their head erect, thus preventing any movement.
The forks did not penetrate any vital points, and thus suffering was prolonged and death avoided. Obviously the victims' hands were tied behind their back."

"'But what makes these 'experts' preach their own opinion and call it truth?' asked the inquirer. 'Is it an inheritance of humankind to do this, or is it merely something they gain satisfaction from?'

'Apart from consciousness,' answered the Buddha, 'no absolute truths exist. False reasoning declares one view to be true and another view wrong. It is delight in their dearly held opinions that makes them assert that anyone who disagrees is bound to come to a bad end. But no true seeker becomes embroiled in all this. Pass by peacefully and go a stainless way, free from theories, lusts, and dogmas.'

-Majjhima Nikaya"

God is everything, everywhere.
God is even broken up into small pieces, some of these pieces we call
"Zeus" others "Kali" another "YHVH", others we call St. Joan, and St.
Thomas, others we call Wife, Father, and Mother, others we call John, and
Kenny and Sue, and others we call "self" and "I". Just because god is
broken up into these small pieces doesn't mean god isn't a whole. Like the
little droplets of silk that make up a spiderweb, each is an individual and
each is a part of a larger whole.

The sum total of the universe, a total that adds up to be greater than the
sum of it's parts, that's god. The universe itself is conscious. God isn't
an old man in the sky, he is "All" he is "Meta".

It doesn't matter if you believe in god or not, or which god you believe
in. Because you are a part of it all. God is in you and through you, and
god is just a word for a concept thats almost too large for our brains to
handle, but only almost. Since our minds are a part of god, a part of
something larger than themselves, then they can actually understand god,
but only just barely. You can understand by understanding yourself.

It's ok if your an atheist, since that too is god trying to figure himself
out. Sometimes god doesn't believe in himself, just as sometimes I wonder
if the whole world is just a dream, a movie in the mind of god.

Koans: "VIII. There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. 'Such bad luck,' they said sympathetically. 'May be,' the farmer replied. The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. 'How wonderful,' the neighbors exclaimed. 'May be,' replied the old man. The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer theirsympathy on his misfortune. 'May be,' answered the farmer. The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. 'May be,' said the farmer. "
