HEGEMONY
HEGEMONY
~ the seduction of confident external authority
The implied authority, external force, or dominance, of another, is sometimes referred to as Hegemony. Often, it is invisible. Often, it has shaped your Beliefs and yet, you are unaware of it.
Why do you celebrate the Christian ritual that is called Easter?
How did this ritual come to be linked with the mystical rising of the Christian prophet, Yeshua? And how did that date become enmeshed with the Gaelic/ Earth custom that worships the female deity known as Oestre (spelled many ways***), representative of fertility and the Spring Equinox?
How has that further devolved into the customs that you might follow today, with its various rituals and robing, candies, ceremonies, foods and such? Is it possible that the Hegemony present in your current culture has influenced you, and that you now blindly follow its dictates? Do you do as your parents have done, and their parents, and their parents before them, making only minor revisions?
What do you feel as you follow in the footsteps of those who have followed these ceremonies and rituals before you? You may draw semblances. The Earth and the Prophet are both sleeping and then arise. Eggs emerge from the womb of Earth, reminders of spring and fertility. Rabbits procreate rapidly; another symbol of fertility and plenty.
You meet in your communities to feast, celebrating the return of abundance. But: what do you feel? Does doing these things move you?
How close to your roots do you feel as you move through these actions? Is it meaningful, or is it another obligation, another expense, another travel to be taken, another group to be suffered, another day lost, or another day to put off what is really meaningful to you? What motivating factors drive you to continue participating in things that do not resonate with your current Beliefs and Truths?
We do not advise you to make changes, today. We do not advise you to develop new beliefs or to convert others to new ideas, or to disarticulate their current ideas. We advise you to take stock of how you invest your energies.
More kilo hours of energy are spent on wasted concerns than could be believed--until you stop, look, and assess how you distribute yourself across the planes of your life. Listen. Your mortal life is ticking away. Day by day, your ultimate horizon grows nearer.
Will you have spent your days there consumed by lies and self-delusion? Wake up to your own games. We do not tell you what to Believe. We urge you to discover for yourself what you Believe, and Why. What Hegemonies rules you Now, Today?
Break the hold of external mythologies upon your personal powers. Free yourself.
Blessed Be This Day
