Fixed and static

So far I have gone from the Christianity to Buddhism to Process Thought to Sufi Poetry. I ought to include the female imaginary.

For thousands of years women were denied education. Women were forced to serve men without any outlet, any life or purpose of their own. There were a few random people who broke off into monasticism and lives of asceticism that were outside the boundaries set by marraige and family and society. Generally, however men's perceptions of the world defined life for most people.

To talk about racism, and the economic models of patriarchy where women in general were possessions of men, and belonged to men not to themselves, or to talk about God, for example the concepts we use for sin where a godly life is like a video game where we gather treasure and kill monsters to gain access to higher levels where we can save the world or free the princess, we use a mind state and a patriarchal language system. Language automatically accomodates the linear progress model where we dominate and own and then put behind us our gains and advances.

Process thought has the possibility of helping us access a model of seeing the world that is less linear because it is less a theory of substance and essence and more a theory based on the constant shifting dialectic between different actual entities. Concepts like race, gender, and time all have a relationship where there is movement and a lack of fixed and static existence.
