My Favorite Verses - Vol V (Feb 17 to Jun 17)

And then the Elohim decided to create something by themselves –
humankind. And instead of creating us whole & complete in our own triad, they
– being the incomplete, “fallen” spiritual beings that they themselves were –
created us incomplete as well; created us in their image; created us as binary
beings -- either anatomically male or anatomically female (see Genesis 1:26-27)
… And this flagrant imperfection gave rise to a level of catastrophic
overpopulation & brutal violence very similar to what we ourselves are
experiencing today, which is why the Elohim then “utterly destroyed [commonly
mistranslated as “finished” – see waykal, Strong‟s #6515] all that they had made” on
the seventh day – which then paved the way for YHWH-aligned Elohim
(translated as “LORD God” in most English Bibles) to then create a whole, genderneutral
human (the ha’adam of Strong‟s #120) to tend a peaceful Garden in the
subsequent Creation seen in Genesis 2.
Yes, it is true that these whole humans (again, thanks to the interventions of the
Elohim) also fell into incompleteness and proceeded to create the challengingly
barbaric mess in which we are all living today (assuming the tale is more than merely
metaphorical, of course), and yet it remains ever possible for us to amend their
failings – to rise above the temptations of the Elohim to dominate and defend and
attack and abuse, and choose to peacefully tend our own section of The Garden
instead – in essence to “pair ourselves up in threes” -- to pair the past & the future
with an immersion into the Here&Now, to pair our culture and our conscience
with a courage that injects the latter into the former, to pair every stranger & every
enemy with every Soulmate (by treating the formers like the latter) – essentially to
actively pair “self” & “other” with LOVE.
Amen ... Let it finally be so.
