Why might you find The Shadow Singer worth reading? (and more)

Because none of that is about circumcision or uncircumcision. Those ideas never enter the story. Not once. All people are the same. Not even the Zatriarchs, who are the tyrannical religious group that are more focused on societal inequality and hierarchy between an elite class of zeraph bonded and a common class of everyday people who don’t have magic powers. It’s the common theme of might doesn’t make right for them, but not that major theme of that story.

Just because you have power other people may not have, doesn’t mean you are by nature morally justified to be in a superior social role to other people. That’s a minor theme I hope to illustrate more in the sequel if I ever decide how to develop the romantic arc of the protag. The may theme of the story is universal spiritual truth and an oath to a higher power. I’m not saying I’m more skilled than (famous author), but being able to read my perspective may help him/her adjust his/her perspective to be a tiny bit more clear.

It’s the same with Storyteller. Not once do I even think about circumcision and uncircumcision when I wrote it, and those topics are of no consequence. They shouldn’t be important in our society and should be a private matter of no consequence, but that’s not the case. It’s out of hand because it happens to infants who don’t get educated on it during their childhood and form ill-conceived notions as a result, then go on to enact those notions in society when they mature.

I don’t think I was even aware, let alone cared, whether or not Jesus was circumcised at that point. It was the unending deluge of hate that reigned down upon me after that, specifically from the worldly source of people that made me cognizant of that. The love of the highest divine above all that was what allowed me to fend them all off, gain knowledge, experience, survive, and be able to overcome their oppression, as well as clearly identify them apart from nature as human beings in the government or some other nefarious non-government conspiracy.

They were so sure of their faithlessness that they refused to listen to reason, and still do. They refuse to believe that a highest divine exists, and hold that delusion of their own self-importance as a fact, which it is not. The existence of the highest divine is however a fact which is provable by reason without the need of science. Science cannot reach it because there is an infinite and impossible chasm between the highest divine and general reality as we perceive it, which can only be crossed with a leap of faith. That leap of faith by its very nature is not something science can do.

Science can build a bridge inch by inch with discovery after discovery and won’t get any closer. Like humans need to go against nature to transcend to a higher consciousness, they need to go against reason to transcend to a divine awareness. Not something that should be principally done as a way of life because it would be more destructive than helpful. However, once you reach divine awareness, you don’t need to make that leap over and over again the same way. You become inseparably united with it and never go back to being ignorant of it.

Meaning you become totally unaware of the connection between one thing and the divine truth but see that they are connected in continuity. With time, the chasm of uncertainty between the continuity of two points of awareness becomes clear and new knowledge is gained that completes the understanding in rational and reasonable terms via human language.

Some people are like, how could you possibly have known it was going to work out like this!? Are you really the super divine? No. That’s how. I could see continuity and be assured there was a valid connection, without needing to know what it was. Then by maintaining humble faith I could follow the path through darkness and arrive at the truth which was revealed as obvious to me because of simple deduction. Nothing supernatural. Deduction, faith, and awareness of the highest divine achieved by a long and arduous spiritual journey which is ongoing.

I’m now looking for a crew to team up with before I proceed because that will be needed for the road ahead, and it’s also a good thing that I want because being a solo player is much more difficult at the higher levels and less fun. I guess you could say I am testing people to see if they are good companions. Kind of like the Seven Samurai where he has his homeboy wait by the door to ambush the applicant to see if he’s on his game or not, but not really like that because I don’t have a homeboy. You’ve got to be able to hold your own if you are going where I am going though.

(translation: “homeboy” is American slang for good friend with an implication of loyalty. aka “homeslice” “homie” “homedawg” “dawg” “broski” “brosephus” etc)

(I wish I understood Japanese, because I am enamored by the language. It’s just super complex and unless I have some serious help, I don’t have the energy to learn it on my own. I imagine it is more visually communicative than English because of how concepts are conveyed with Kanji. That way of reading, writing, and thinking probably makes Japanese mental imagery as a form of communication highly developed as well as other Eastern nations and cultures with similarities. Mental imagery was one of the first forms of spiritual revelation used in early civilization, particularly because of the obstacle that mass illiteracy used to be. However, the reliance of the English language on writing and reading letters and words to communicate also has its perks.

East and West should be cooperating a lot more intellectually than we seem to be. There are problems likely because they find circumcision insane, which it obviously is to plain sight, and the West insists on it because it was written in sacred letters. Those sacred letters are no longer respected by the West aside from cultural indoctrination via Christianity that has taught people to accept them or be punished, which isn’t fair, just, or how they were intended. If they were respected, circumcision would be a lot less prevalent because putting a stop to it was one of the main purposes of the New Testament.

The solution: write new sacred letters to change the practice of circumcision to requiring written, conscious consent that is legally valid. The USA operates under the sanctity of the Natural God which inspired the Constitution, Declaration of Independece, and very nation itself, so it should be suitable to have the USA establish this sensible compromise via secular policy in accordance with the values of its law, which is one that respects human equality and human rights.)
