Come on over by the fire and sit down. We resume the story, the Story of God. You might think this is about us, about the two-leggeds of the earth. This is the way we are. We always think it's about us. No, no. This is about God.
After Eden, the man and the woman went out and multiplied and divided, became numerous. Time went by. The story says that God "saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that the thoughts in his heart fashioned nothing but wickedness all day long" and that he "regretted having made man on the earth, and his heart grieved."
He decided to kill them all, wipe them out, murder them, man, woman, and child. Drown them. While he was at it, he decided to kill the "animals also, reptiles too, and the birds of heaven." Once again, the sea creatures are not mentioned. They are not targeted. Drowning would not affect them.
You know the story. This happens more than once with God. One man is seen as worthy. Only one. He and God walked and talked together. Buddies. The man's name was Noah and Noah was "a man of integrity." What does that mean? Integral. A man of interflow, able to relate to all with no barrier while keeping his core, his center. Noah sat in the seat at the center of his soul. He radiated outward from there.
So listen up, children. If you don't want to piss God off, grieve his heart, make him regret that you were born, do likewise. Be a person of integrity. No separate compartments that ulcerate, stagnate, fill with puss. Sit in the seat at the center of your soul. At your core. And open outward. Like the sun. Shining your light on all that is.
And God will float your boat.
But everything about you that is puss-y, is mean-hearted, is separated in greed and anger and just plain ignore-ance will be destroyed. Drowned.
It's just the way it is. God wants it this way.
But God doesn't do right either. He has shown his anger once before, back in the garden of Eden. He cursed the man and woman, kicked them out. Now he is going for murder. Wholesale slaughter.
I know. I know. We are not to sit in judgment on each other or on God. I'm just telling you what the Story says that has been passed down since forever. God repented of having made his creation and wiped it out. Except for one man and his household and the creatures they saved.
Stir up the fire there a little. It's getting cold.

Stirring the fire in between typing words. Laughing with God at my Center. Dumping that which in not integral as we laugh. I tell God what I will do next. God smiles that "you can't fool me" smile of His, and we laugh all the more. One breath cycle of integrity between us is completed and he nods supportively. I awaken to us Being in this Being-ness together. Through this process healing happens again. The illusion of separation fades. Merry Christmas!
