I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

Something I think a lot of xians don’t get is that while Judaism and Tanakh are absolutely essential to xianity and it making any kind of sense, Judaism in no way needs anything xianity has to offer, nor is modern rabbinic Judaism dependent on the existence of xianity. We exist entirely outside of and independent of xianity and Judaism (both as it was before the fall of the Second Temple as well as modern rabbinic Judaism) would have continued just fine without xianity. If xianity somehow disappears from the earth entirely, Judaism will still be here and will still make sense. 

On the other hand, if Judaism and all of its texts were to disappear, xianity is no longer intelligible. And that is what I mean when I say that xianity is parasitic on Judaism. This is not a mutual or symbiotic relationship, no matter how hard xians seem to want to think it is. 

Let me clear this up for you:

Since no one seems to understand. Time to rant. 

CONCEPT OF KARMA

I absolutely hate how western practitioners have twisted the meaning and bastardised it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not completely rooted in my roots and I’m not an extreme traditionalist but people using the concept of karma by first misunderstanding its foundations and then using it to justify horrendous shit is unbelievable. Which then, leads to people trying to divorce karma from its associations.

Okay, let’s just break it down. Idk how they just reduced Karma as “what goes around, comes around” & treated it like a cause and effect deal, because it isn’t. Using Karma to justify suffering and oppression was NEVER it’s original purpose. Looking through Hinduism & Vedic teachings, Karma is a law that human in the centre of responsibility, in every way, shape and form. There is a reason Karma is tied with Saturn (Shani), the God of Karma, Justice and Retribution, and ANY astrologer can tell you how Saturn operates in similar principal. Karma doesn’t teach people to shut up & suffer because they deserve it. Karma says that the cycles that exist are created by and through humans, their suffering & good fortune accordingly and by virtue, it is in their hands and will alone on how they want to cultivate their actions.

It DOESN’T discount systematic oppression.

It DOESN’T tell you to sit on your hands and suffer because it’s your fault.

It DOESN’T tell you that you’ll get good things after suffering.

What Karma does is present you with the situation of your life, then waits and watches what YOU choose to do with it, how YOU work or manage it. Ultimately, being tied to Saturn, it expects you to take responsibility on creating your own situation.

And no, I’m not saying this in the way that the way people are, and how they’re suffering is because they somehow “were a bad person in their previous life, etc etc”, I’m saying that it acknowledges that people have different situations & personal suffering, yes, a LOT of things in life are fundamentally difficult but you need to understand, the planets or the gods didn’t create suffering on such a global scale, it was ultimately humans/men themselves that perpetuated and continued the cycle of suffering, and it is, ultimately, in our hands to make it better or worse. Karma treats everyone equally this sense, but it is very difficult to understand this if you don’t realise that the concept of Karma is deeply tied with cycles, especially as Hinduism treats time as a cycle itself, and often times people really can’t and don’t have the knowledge of comprehending anything but their own/current life while they’re alive. 

Karma isn’t an immediate slap in the face (unless you have those placements that make it so) as you know, the GOD OF KARMA is literally called the slowest/slow moving planet and is symbolised by a tortoise, the effects of your Karma accumulate and thus it usually manifests in the various cycle of lifes. I understand that western practitioners or those growing up with largely Christian themes/society can’t understand because we don’t have a definite “end”, the only “end” that comes from cycles of reincarnation is through burning the ties of Karma and liberating the soul. There are three types of Karma:

1. Sanchita karma, the sum total of past karmas yet to be resolved. 2. Prarabdha karma, that portion of sanchita karma that is to be experienced in this life. 3. Kriyamana karma, the karma that humans are currently creating, which will bear fruit in future.

There are some things in life you can’t control, there are also things in life that you can control. Karma is a continuous cycle until you achieve moksha, which is the ultimate goal of liberation.

Hinduism/The Vedas has recognised and understood the way the Law of Karma works, that’s one of the main reasons Dharma was made one of the aims of life, the act of good deeds, performing proper responsibilities & personality that ultimately gears you towards attaining (good)karma that will make it easier for you to pursue the other “Purusartha” aka aims of life, and of course, the path towards liberation in general.

From this perspective, we see life as fundamentally connected with everything, including people, action, deeds, nature, planets, the universe etc etc, Karma is just a law that explains one part of such. Astrology has always been one of the main tools used to deeply study the bond between the planets and a human existence (soul & body), one of the main reason Karmic Astrology exists is because the intrinsic ties our existence has with different elements of life, and of course, the soul that has & will be going through everything. Now that you’re in the end of this post, I hope you never misuse the concept of “Karma” because I’m going to arrive there with Saturn to slap a bitch.

“One factor that makes interaction between multi-ethnic groups of women difficult and sometimes impossible is our failure to recognize that a behaviour pattern in one culture may be unacceptable in another, that is may have different signification cross-culturally … I have learned the importance of learning what we called one another’s cultural codes. An Asian American student of Japanese heritage explained her reluctance to participate in feminist organizations by calling attention to the tendency among feminist activists to speak rapidly without pause, to be quick on the uptake, always ready with a response. She had been raised to pause and think before speaking, to consider the impact of one’s words, a characteristic that she felt was particularly true of Asian Americans. She expressed feelings of inadequacy on the various occasions she was present in feminist groups. In our class, we learned to allow pauses and appreciate them. By sharing this cultural code, we created an atmosphere in the classroom that allowed for different communication patterns. This particular class was peopled primarily by black women. Several white women students complained that the atmosphere was “too hostile.” They cited the noise level and direct confrontations that took place in the room prior to class as an example of this hostility. Our response was to explain that what they perceived as hostility and aggression, we considered playful teasing and affectionate expressions of our pleasure at being together. Our tendency to talk loudly we saw as a consequence of being in a room with many people speaking, as well as of cultural background: many of us were raised in families where individuals speak loudly. In their upbringings as white, middle-class females, the complaining students had been taught to identify loud and direct speech with anger. We explained that we did not identify loud or blunt speech in this way, and encourage them to switch codes, to think of it as an affirming gesture. Once they switched codes, they not only began to have a more creative, joyful experience in the class, but they also learned that silence and quiet speech can in some cultures indicate hostility and aggression. By learning one another’s cultural codes and respecting our differences, we felt a sense of community, of Sisterhood. Representing diversity does not mean uniformity or sameness.”

DIGIMON ADVENTURE tri. x Our War Game ~ ~ DIRECT REFERENCES to past canon ~ IMPORTANT DIALOGUES ~ CALLBACKS ~ WORLDBUILDING + The Takaishi-Ishida Family (featuring side Taichi & Koushiro involvement) + Tri!Takeru picking up on Meiko’s (J.P.N) DIALECT (Tottori and Shimane can be considered ‘like’ the J.P.N ‘Countryside’, but they’re regions of J.P.N!)

“Dandan!” - Takeru’s Grandmother (speaking), in appreciation to Takeru helping her IN 2nd Digimon Adventure movie, “Our War Game”* [also often referred to as “Childrens’ War Game”] {“Bokura no War Game”}

{“Bokura no Mirai” / “Our Future”, Tri part 6, shows us…}

{Meiko is teaching Meicoomon how to SAY the phrase, “DANDAN”}

BONUS: (Continued scenes from “Our War Game”)

”You’re right. I should go bring in the laundry.” “DANDAN!” “DANDAN!” - Man to Woman, above (not mentioned in this older translation, but you can hear it SPOKEN)

My Commentary:

I have since determined “Our War Game” Yamato & Takeru are, in actuality, some of my favorite “forms” of Yamato & Takeru ever.

A LOT of people never (apparently!) caught these references, but yes, they’re actual things… (You CAN hear it spoken in the script, if you watch the J.P.N)

The implication since “Our War Game” is that “DANDAN” was a regional phrase / part of the spoken dialects there, of the J.P.N prefectures (regions/locations) featured in the series. Shimane is where Takeru + Yamato’s grandmother, “Kinu” is from, who is also referenced in the script (“Kinu-san’s grandchildren.”).

Tottori is where Meiko’s family was from, stated in “Ketsui” the 2nd part of Tri. This is why Takeru is the main one to pick up on Meiko’s dialect, and even comments directly on it.

It’s because he recognized it. Shimane and Tottori are both located in the Chūgoku region of Honshu. (Even Koushiro lightly {casually} refers to it as, “The one {prefecture} with the sand dunes!” about Tottori, helpfully, while Taichi, looking right AT Yamato, mentions, “Shimane’s the one with no computers.”)

“That was a million years ago!” - Yamato, shooting back (who had a lot of mis-adventures in Shimane during the 2nd Adventure movie in J.P.N, “Our War Game”)

In the mid-end half of “Kokuhaku, the 3rd film, we see a small segment of Meiko at her original home’s location:

(You can see how it looks traditional in the architecture of Meiko’s home.) {Compare to Takeru & Yamato’s locations, above!}

No, it is not in fact okay to call someone with a mental illness “crazy”. It’s not “not a big deal”, and it’s not “just a joke”. It’s an awful outdated stigma that needs to die. And yes this includes other people with mental illnesses. I don’t care if you’re not offended by it. A lot of us already have to deal with either stigma or hiding our symptoms to stay away from stigma, so take your “just a joke” and throw it in the trash where it belongs.
