The Story of Cain and Abel (26)

The Story of Cain and Abel

The story of humanity - or, I should say, at least of the "white" race - boils down to the story of Cain and Abel. Every man came into this world with an allegiance to either Cain or Abel. It appears from the Bible that 144,000 came aligned with the Christ, Abel; the rest came in aligned with Abel's enemy, the Antichrist, Cain. Whose side are you on?

If you believe that I should not be allowed to harvest or eat the psilocybin mushrooms that the God put in this world - and in Seattle (the author's hometown), the most prolific psilocybin-producing spot on the globe, in particular - so that I could commune with Him, or to grow or smoke cannabis, the most beneficial and useful plant given to us by Mother Earth - the single plant that could have been the very salvation of humanity if not for Cain and his shame; if you say that men must not love one another; if you believe that the imperatives of mortality, homophobia, the incest taboo and the nuclear family must be enforced; if you say that by speaking the truth I present a threat to "the community;" if you believe in the superiority of the white race; if you believe that God intended for human beings to build fences, cities and empires; if you think that the Creator of this Universe intended for the human race to "pave paradise and put up a parking lot," then I say that you are a devotee of Cain.

Cain is the ripper-up of the grasslands and the destroyer of the forests, the farmer who pushes his brother Abel, the nomad, further and further into the margins, and who eventually turns Earth into a desert. Cain is the city builder; the inventor of Empire. Cain is the original capitalist; he is the fascist who once upon a time believed that it was his destiny to rule the world. Cain is the leader of the Takers, of the builders of empires, of the men who ignore, fear and deny the existence of God. He is the mentor of the boys who aspire to be men, and of the men who aspire to be emperors. He is the leader of the homophobes and of those who say, "Just say no to cannabis," because they are afraid of the experience of What Really Is. Cain is the distiller of alcohol and the destroyer of the Temple of God. Cain is the fascist enforcer of mortality, homophobia and the incest taboo. Cain is the builder of fences to keep his nomadic, psilocybin eating, God-loving brother out of his ever-expanding Empire. Cain is Mussolini, whose dream is of an Empire, ruled by himself, in which the trains run on time, in which all of the trees and crops grow in rows like soldiers of the fascist monoculture of ignorance that he is striving to create, in which the pigs and chickens and even milk cows who give their lives as food for human beings are raised in factories and never set foot on Mother Earth, in which everyone wears a uniform and polices his brothers and sisters to make sure no one is violating the rules of shame, and in which the fence posts are all cut off cleanly at the exact same height. This is Cain's idea of a perfect world.

Abel is the psilocybin-eating shepherd (psilocybin flourishes where livestock graze and the lovers of God dwell) who whiles away his days in wild-flower adorned meadows, communing with his lover and father, the God who created this Universe. Abel is the leader of the Leavers, those who would choose to preserve rather than own, dominate and ultimately destroy this beautiful world. He is the king of the artists, the mystics, the poets and the lovers. Abel is the ecstatic dancer who dances around the campfire at night, and who dances in the Temple of his father, the Rock and Roll God, the one who says "my my, hey hey, rock and roll is here to stay… there's more to the picture than meets the eye, rock and roll can never die." He is the mentor of the men who aspire to be boys. He is the advocate of the harmless and completely natural and god-given plants cannabis and psilocybin; he is the one who says that distilled alcohol and tobacco are the real killer drugs (but who nevertheless refuses to be a fascist about it, preferring to allow those who wish to reinforce their own mortality with the poisons of Cain to do so).

Abel is the destroyer of patriarchy and the hallmarks of patriarchy: mortality, slavery, war, homophobia and the incest taboo. Abel knows that his God is a real live being, a man-god with a heart full of love, a God who says love and ecstasy are good and that hatred and shame are bad, who says everyone should get stoned and party together in the Temple of Love. Cain prefers a God who is just an idea, a made-up God, an angry God, a fascist God, a white supremacist God, a God who advocates either stoning or imprisoning people who violate the law that you don't shine a light on anyone's shame. Whether a fascist is an adherent of Islam, of Christianity or of Judaism he worships the same deity - the Shame deity named Allah.

Abel wants a partnership society, a matriarchal society; and he advocates for a pro-matriarchy God, the Love God who prefers a society in which a mother is allowed to decide for herself whether or not she will be the lover of her son. Cain wants a dominator society, a patriarchal society, a patriarchal God. He advocates for a society in which the father lays down the absolutely inviolable Law of Patriarchy that the mother of his son absolutely cannot be the son's lover. This is the true difference between Matriarchy and Patriarchy - it pertains to the matter of which parent makes up the rules about what sort of love can be expressed within the family, the one who says "no" to intra-familial affection or the one who says "no problem." Cain, aka Oedipus, promotes patriarchy even though he himself fell into the ruinous trap of breaking his father's (Satan's) incest taboo by making love with his mother, leading him, shamefully, to kill his father as well as his brother. The antichrist, Cain, is the one who falls prey to the revenge of the mother in a patriarchal culture and he becomes the chief minion of the evil witch named Allah, the mother of Cain, Ishmael and Mohammed, who uses shame to punish the men who forced patriarchy upon this world, a twisted sort of cutting-off of the nose to spite the face.

The saga of humanity begins with the murder of Abel by his brother Cain. God prefers the lover Abel, who makes a more generous and heart-felt offering to God, not only of his love, but also of his choicest rams, whereas Cain makes a meager offering of some surplus grain, while resenting the fact that there is a God who wishes to be known, loved and acknowledged. Cain resents his brother who strives to know, love and acknowledge the God. Cain is full of resentment, anger, envy, shame and hatred; the existence of his brother Abel, who is free and ecstatic, makes him very uncomfortable. Cain despises his brother. Cain cannot tolerate his brother's existence, because Abel makes him feel ashamed of himself. So instead of learning from his brother how to be happy, how to know and love the God who really is the God, how to be more like his brother, Cain chooses to kill Abel. And he has been trying to destroy his brother and his brother's allies again and again, ever since. God himself is not oblivious to the situation. God's ally, the Black Pope, the de facto king of this world, a member of the incestuous ruling family, orchestrates everything that happens in this world through his secret societies that coordinate the activities of Abel and his allies, so that Abel (the true identity of the character Frodo) and his 144,000 lovers can and do defeat and destroy the armies of orcs who came into this world in allegiance with his nemesis, Cain.

Now, as the saga of humanity comes to its conclusion, Abel has this to say to his brother: The sweet revenge of the supremely loving and almighty God's justice, for which I have been patiently waiting for so many centuries, will soon be mine. Go to your Hell now Cain. Go to the place for the people who refuse to allow God to exist, for the liars and murderers whose shame cannot permit them to co-exist in the same world with the lovers of God.

Abel is the son of God. He is the psilocybin-eating shepherd who whiles away his days out in the pastures baiting the master, so to speak. He is Charlie who is loved by the "willie-wonking" Master of the Universe whose son he is by virtue of his acceptance and embrace of God's purpose, which is love. Abel is Isaac. Abel is David, the beloved king of the nation whose men loved their God, and their God in one another, in their Temple. Abel is Jesus, the Christ. Abel is the fighter against the empires of Cain and the searcher for the Holy Grail of God's Peace, Freedom, Love and Justice: he is King Arthur; he is Thomas Jefferson; he is Mohandas Gandhi. Cain is the spawn of Satan and Allah, the enemies of God.

Cain is the hater of God and the enemy of God's lovers. Cain is the avatar of the homophobes of any and all religious affiliations. He is the antichrist, the one who says men should not love their God. Cain is Ishmael; he is Mohammed. He is Aaron Burr, the enemy of Jefferson, who tried to destroy the young nation for which Abel wrote the founding declaration and which would eventually play a major role in carrying out the plans of his father, the almighty God, to destroy Cain and his minions once and for all. Cain is Hannibal, who tried to destroy the Roman Empire which had become the base of operations of his brother's allies.

Abel says, "No man shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but by me." He says this because he is the son of God, and no one who came into this world to align themselves with his nemesis, Cain, will be allowed into his father's Heaven until they have repented and sincerely begged for forgiveness for being in allegiance with Abel's hateful and fratricidal brother. Abel's 144,000 brothers attain Heaven automatically because they aligned themselves with Abel in the beginning. The minions of Cain must now re-align themselves with Abel if they wish to avoid the fate to which their leader has been leading them.

Do I have you wondering if you are a Cain person or an Abel person? Here is how I would say you may be able to tell: If, when I define a god as simply being a man who has gotten past the self-limiting problem of shame, do you feel a twinge of excitement, or do you feel a twinge of dread or hatred? This should be enough of a clue. In any case you will be invited to join us in Heaven, as long as you are willing to give up your allegiance to Cain and his mother.

Friends, beware of the Riddler, the advocate of Cain's lie that people are about to solve all of their problems without any help from the almighty God, who sings the song that says "In our differences we are all One." We are all One in that which we share in common, not in the differences that cause men to war with one another. We are one in the Love of God. God is not an idea; He is the source of the energy of consciousness (Love) that is our life. We are potentially united in our common awareness of the blessing that this life is. The people who are trying to portray the human race as being on the brink of some kind of rapturous celebration of diversity are liars; that is the lie of Babel. Differences of religion, culture and language divide people, they do not unite people. Who is ready to celebrate a diversity that allows for and includes people without shame, people who refuse to honor the incest taboo, people who do not suffer from the disease of homophobia? Can I come and masturbate onstage with my brothers at your interfaith gatherings, Mr. Riddler?

Cain and his allies have been trying to destroy his brother Abel; they have no intention to include us in their rainbow coalition. Sure they will take homosexuals, but not people like me who advocate for a pansexual and orgiastic tribe that does not respect the boundaries of the nuclear family. The Riddler has no intention of including Abel and his flock in their idea of a multicultural utopia; there is no place for us in a world that continues to be ruled by shame. The world is poised as never before for the devastating religious wars that will bring an end to life on this planet in a few short years, and Cain and the Riddler and all of their friends don't have to worry about me talking people out of it. Misery will have the company that it loves. The perpetrators of the lie that differences are what we have in common will go down in the flames of the wars that will be fought over those very differences. Meanwhile, those who find their oneness with one another in the common yearning in their hearts for peace, love, freedom and justice, and who find the solution to the failures of humanity in knowing and loving the God whom we all share in common, will beat their swords into plowshares and know an eternity of peace. "I hope some day you'll join us," but I also respect that this is a choice that each person must make for him or her self. Please feel free to visit my website: Isaacsword.com
