"ALL LIVES DO MATTER"
By Amir Fatir
Presently, the above is received as a statement dismissive of the peril experienced by Black people whose lives are threatened by police.
But at some point, we will have to acknowledge the reality that all lives matter. Including those of plants, animals, elves, and minerals.
"ROCK LIVES MATTER"
The conflict is one of paradigm. Some people adhere to a mental picture of "the past" and prefer that one. Others adhere to a mental picture of "the future" and prefer that one.
Transformation is the nature of nature so the old picture of the past can never be realized.
Cops who beat and choke are actually trying to choke out the transformation.
But it’s too much. Blacks are transforming into something less black and whites are transforming into something less white.
Even animal behavior is transforming. Lions today are literally lying down with lambs.
Women are manifesting more masculinity. Men are manifesting more femininity.
"HOLD THE DOOR!" said Hodor in "Game of Thrones." But the door could only be held for so long.
The times they are changin'.
But there is yin (dark force) even in yang. Increasingly, Black women are in charge of police departments (Outlaw in Philadelphia) and cities (Lightfoot in Chicago).
And there is yang (light force) in yin as evidenced by the rising militarism among the marginalized oppressed.
Yet even among blended peoples such as Cambodians, Chinese, Arabs, Hispanics, Italians, and even Africans, the lighter people (relative to the whole group) exercise more power, hold more wealth and occupy higher rungs on the class ladder
Ultimately, it is an expression of the clash between light and dark, yang and yin, Horus and Set, matter and antimatter, Republican and Democrat.
But perhaps the clash is itself an illusion, a matter of perspective since the two ate interpenetrative of each other like the biological male and female in all of us.
Perhaps it comes down to what part of you you choose to identify with and what part you neglect.
Cowboy... or Indian.
All Life Matters, i.e., materializes. The light or invisible cosmic wave materializes as the particle (dark) and all particles decompose and return to wave form.
So the transformation becomes one of identification and awareness so that we eventually embrace the yang and the yin, the light and the dark and achieve a more August and less neurotic form of self-love.
That is my manifesto.
That is Where I'm Coming From and Where I'm Going.
All the squares fall out.
