"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools".

[ralis]

On the 45th year since the assassination of Martin Luther King, I thought it was appropriate to post a quote from him as a topic.

[Vanir Thunder Dojo Tan]

foolish brothers, we are

[Mal]

I like how there is no option - Together is how we find ourselves and together is how we shall rise or fall.

I used to always do peace symbol graffiti on the forehead of people's photos at work.

God's Fool.

 

Yeah this is what makes me happy b/c I've always played the part of the fool.

o.k.....

 

 

the part of Holy Fools, as have the yurodivy (or iurodstvo) of Eastern Orthodox asceticism. Fools for Christ often employ shocking, unconventional behavior to challenge accepted norms, deliver prophecies or to mask their piety.^[2] Parallels for this type of behavior exist in non-Christian traditions as well. The Avadhuta (Sanskrit), for example, the Islamic tradition of Malamatiyya Sufism and other crazy-wise mystics all display similar traits.

 

 

oh yeah I blogged on this....

All identity with "divine" is foolsome,...in other words, only a fool identifies with the divine.

 

In my opinion,...if one followed MLK sayings in a chronological way,...it would had been less than another year before he denounced all divinity.

 

As Chogyam Trungpa said, to realize the essential meaning of the Buddha's teaching, we need to let go of theism. The essence of Buddhism, of Daoism, is non-theist,...that is, devoid of divinity. To understand Buddhism, take refuge in Buddha,...to understand Daoism,..that refuge in the Tao,....Buddha neither Comes or Goes,...the Tao neither Comes or Goes. The divine comes and goes.

 

I would have loved seeing how MLK transitioned after letting theism go.
