Please opine.
The storyline is about the strategic plan arising from an envisioning retreat of the Board of Congregation Beth Israel (CBI). The consultant Fayruz marks the tone by highlighting the bottom line as a mixture of audacious dreaming, clear transformation themes, and infectious enthusiasm. The president of the Board Corrie articulates the ends in her message for the future. She highlights the audacious dream of creating a Jewish renaissance as consisting of a spiritual ecosystem that radiates outward consisting of environmental and social justice leadership, multigenerational learning and growth. That what makes this vision possible is that CBI has learned to navigate change while staying true, all the while creating a space that feels magical by making Judaism relevant again. That it’s exciting because this vision is already beginning and the work ahead is inspiring. Moreover, that the city of Austin is ready for these changes, that kehillah means more than membership to a synagogue. That the voice and vision of each member matters, that in the present the future starts in the past. Lastly, given that the Fayruz’ tone and Corrie’s ends are a tall order by any measure, Ric a foot member provides a corresponding cosmovision as the means to achieve success of the trailblazing strategic plan.
If in your opinion, the sketch of a strategic plan makes no sense, then trash it and continue living in our present state of bad anarchy of postmodernity, ravism and prayer. But if the argument makes all the sense in the world, then let’s turn the page and inaugurate the Age of Enlivenment of good anarchy and start the Cause/movement of the Originary Sign (OS). The endorsed approach is not dualism’s critical analysis of the political problem with no clue of solution, other than placing things by gloved hand out of the head and beating heart, but rather derives from principle linked to the OS. Recall that democracy comes from 2nd Derivative Greece later naturalized by 3rd Derivative West into the wildcard that we have today. So then, what is this good anarchy of the OS? But before we get to the applications, let’s display the cosmovision upfront.
The schematics of the OS layout is as follows. The Originary Sign (OS) hypothesis is that there’s a point/origin marking the advent of humanity from whatever was previously the case. Good anarchy as still wholly guided by the OS would then be posited between the stage of hunter-gathering and originary civilization proper when the triad sharded into three separate pieces as of this morning. There were six (6) originary civilizations, but for convenience without loss of generality we’ll put on hold China, India, and Andean and consider solely Mesopotamia, Egypt together, and Mesoamerica quite apart.
There’s the 1st (first) Derivative of Israel out of Mesopotamia and Egypt. It is the primeval kabbalah consisting of the first letter of Hebrew Alef A (א) and the first word of Genesis BeReshIth InBeginningOf (בְּ-רֵאשִׁ֖-ית), to make Alef/BeReshIth A/InBeginningOf (א/בְּ-רֵאשִׁ֖-ית). In formulaic presentation Moses’ New School primeval kabbalah is PaRaDi/Se. This is not to be confused with Moisés de León’s Old School medieval kabbalah of PaRDeS. Essentially, it’s Alef–S / Be–D Resh–R Ith–P (A-S / In-D Beginning-R Of-P), with the slash-/ as S holy-/-profane DRP, as S/DRP. Neatly, the OS as the Universal Principle of Knowledge is “the one whole is and becomes triad parts”, or else in acronym formula as PaRaDi/Se.
It’s mentioned first though Israel came after Mesoamerica because solely thanks to it can one identify the cue of the residue of the OS. The residue of the OS is detected in the Toltecáyotl of Nahuatl Mesoamerica in the difrasism Xóchitl Cuícatl (Flower Song), or else in Ixtli Áyotl (Face Heart). Only then does the evidence become apparent that in the difrasism Xóchitl Cuícatl (Flower Song) we have Xóchitl-P Cuícatl-D, or else Ixtli-P Áyotl-D (Face Heart).The sequence is P_D, R, /, S, to become PRD/S. On the other hand, Moses understood it deductively as S/DRP, Elohim-S covert-/-overt Humanity-DRP, Spiritual-D Mental-R Physical-P. This inductive Nahuatl Toltecáyotl PRD/S contrasts as its mirror image to the deductive Hebrew kabbalah S/DRP.
Now to the applications. The six-hundred thirteen (613) commandments of the obedience tradition can be reduced to the One (1) Commandment. Doing the gematria math 613 => 6+1+3 = 10 => 1+0 = 1! The One (1) commandment is to be creative, as YHVH is Creator. It debunks the convoluted one of “obey and pray” and inaugurates simply “be creative”.
Now the comparative. Theism as S/DRP and humanism as PRD/S. Or else Theism/Humanism of S/DRP, or as Humanism/Theism PRD/S. But S/DRP is teaching and PRD/S is learning. Mexoamerica’s humanism and Israel’s theism. The status of Israel is once removed from the residue of OS of Mesoamerica.
Now the takeaways. From Age of Enlightenment to Age of Enlivenment. As standard model from Mono-dualism unto Uni/triadism. The acid test of making sense is the PaRaDi/Se standard. That is, everything that is the case is PaRaDi/Se compliant.
Justice, politics, and the state. At present we have the “31a-” Enlightenment Constitution composed of a 3-power state, 1 vote per person, adult suffrage, and minus (-) all others which diminishes democracy unto duocracy. Making the state PaRaDi/Se compliant, would give us the “53i+” Constitution. This is composed of a 5-power state and 3 votes per person, of infant suffrage, the “plus (+)” comes from enhancing democracy by placing the running of the budget under the University 5th power and elections under the Media 4th power. Social justice tries to obtain concessions by a gloved hand from an otherwise unfair state. Just society derives naturally from a just state.
