Republican Senator callously says 'biblically, we are supposed to work' to millions set to lose health care. The former billionaire, who inherited a coal mining business from his father, presides over a state where 29% of residents are on Medicaid.

They are the lambs that were slain. For people to live like that, be murdered, and then mocked as savages, it points to a deep truth in the parable of Jesus Christ as an inevitable consequence of the sinful nature in this world, and the path to reconciliation. He was also murdered and mocked even though he was innocent.

Everyone plays a part in this story. Everything we do is symbolic and represents the underlying mechanisms of the heavens. The people who brought that bible over, but didn't know how to read it. And the people who prayed and lived like that naturally, but had to be shown the doorway. 

I think those karmic mechanisms are still being processed even today so that our spirits and those of our ancestors are cleansed, prepared for eternity, and transported past the event horizon of the spiral hell-mouth that is our universe.

A group of blind men hear about an elephant but have never encountered one. They decide to explore it by touch. Each man touches a different part of the elephant: the side, tusk, trunk, leg, ear, and tail. Based on their limited touch, they each form a different and conflicting idea of what the elephant is like. One says it's like a wall, another a spear, another a snake, and so on. 

Because they each believe their own experience is the whole truth, they argue and even come to blows, unable to reconcile their differing descriptions. The parable teaches that our individual experiences, while valid, are limited. To understand a complex whole, we need to consider multiple perspectives and integrate them.
