In today's world, who has become our "Adam"? Obama? Donald Trump? Queen Elizabeth of England? (There are hundreds of names possible, but we must remember that each is just a metaphor for the authority we cede to the rich and powerful.) Who is the Man that shall rule over Thee? Is it OK for us "Eve's" (working men and women, those of minimal resources) to continue falling on bended knee for those rich elites and politicians?
Do we have to live under a curse where the Man Rules? My thesis is that curses only work if we allow them. We need to stop believing in them. We need to end the curse of "Eve's" being under the thumb of "Adam"! Nor shall Donald Trump and his kind ever rule over us! Indeed, we will fire him.
In fostering "Bottom-Up" governance, the first step we need to engage in (after firing Trump) is an intense questioning of where we are, and where we are going. This needs to be within you, and those you bond with. In our own game, no suit is declared i.e., "trumped" over all the others. (Even in bridge the bid of "no trump" ironically trumps all suits, even the spades!)
The power to end the rule of Adam (Trump) is within us. Curses only work if we believe them! Games (including the whole financial game) will only work if everyone agrees to abide by the rules. And it's that curse that has made the feminine into underlings for the "top-down" masculine. And what of men in the "Labor Class?" Isn't labor a feminine process of giving birth? Who contains the potential life of all of us if not our ability to conceive, i.e., the function of women?
In our trumpless game, we need to agree to new, humane, earth-friendly rules. We need to evolve a whole new game. To begin this "Bottom-Up" evolution, we need to empty ourselves regarding current conditioning. As Lao Tzu states in the Tao Te Ching, "Be newborn, be free of yourself." Or as Jesus states, "Be like an infant." That means we move beyond our programming (brainwashing) by corporate institutions.
We also need to accept the seminal influences fostering different mindsets. It is for this reason the number "0" is reflected in the feminine egg shape. This is what lies in potential. The number "1" thus reflects the linear shape speaking to the male penis. It is the "1" (that which sparks a potential via Eros) that marries the "0" (the container of all potentials).
Ultimately, we need to realize everything fosters everything else. For example, consider (a) the history of a fetus in relationship to the mother's DNA and ancestors; (b) the father's DNA and ancestors; (c) what the fetus experiences en utero (e.g., a mom who is under stress and drinks 6 glasses of wine daily), (d) A mom and/or a father who decides not to drink and goes through withdrawls; (e) the father's mood in relationship to the mother's pregnancy; (f) the effects of the moon, and ultimately, the entire universe. What else would you come up with?
