The Naked Path of Prophet: a new translation of 1 Samuel 1 – 17, a warning about kings, christs, & organized religion

In 1 Samuel, the biblical prophets experience YAHWEH in wild ways…with no beliefs, no rituals, no equipment, no special knowledge needed except one’s naked body.  It just might be what the 21st century needs — if you’re brave enough.

It’s what many generations of ancient priests & scribes who assembled most of the Bible don’t want you to know.  It’s what a lot of today’s priests and bishops and pastors and rabbis and imams most likely fear — it would take away their jobs if you knew.

Told around campfires by roving bands of ecstatic storycrafters as a warning against monarchy and organized religion and even the Torah, these stories that became 1 & 2 Samuel in the Bible are fiction, not fact.  And these storycrafters obviously knew that by weaving hilarious scenes and clever quips of speech into their saga…to up-end fascist impulses arising every generation.

The wind — YAHWEH — enlivens us all and can’t be controlled…and the sick become well, the dead come back to life, the hungry are fed, the bloody-thirsty and violent become peaceful and calm.  It’s not Judaism, it’s not Christianity, it’s not Islam…but it is a root of all three of these modern religions.

It’s ecstasy.  No drugs needed.  And it’s just sitting there waiting for you and me…
