The Purpose of HEALING - K.i.s.s.
as stated 10 years ago - was and is
to help me and my potential PEERS
to HEAL ourselves into WHOLEness,
and - as holograms - all of Creation!
|
|
As the fruit of becoming whole = accepting all of
myself, I desire:
to live and explore and evolve L O V E
in my personal life
and to play my part in creating the conditions for
Heaven-on-Earth
by radiating grate-full-ness, zest-full-ness and full-fill-ment
on the actors in my individual life-drama and on all
human beings!

VICTIMS of SEX DRIVE
Everett Fox has enlightened
me now [2004-06_25] , through his introduction to the Samuel Books,
see in "the Bible of Feelings"
that the two central stories about the "Feeling King" ,
are intricately connected.
David didn't die after the Bat-Sheva-Uriyya adultery,
murder and abominable lack of solidarity,
but Amnon and Avshalom, his sons, reflected back
to him everything he had not healed in himself.
The beginning of the "Great Rebellion" started with the
rape of David's daughter by David's son,
right after the Bat-Sheva-Uriyya scandal.
2.Samuel 13:1
Avshalom son of David had a fair sister,
her name was Tamar,
and Amnon son of David fell-in-love with her.
And Amnon was distressed to (the point of) making-himself-sick
because of Tamar his sister,
for she was a virgin,
and so it seemed-impossible in Amnon's eyes to do anything
to her.
Amnon had a friend, his name was Yonadav son of Shim'a, David's
brother;
and Yonadav was an exceedingly wordly-wise man.
He said to him;
Why are you so haggard, O son of the king, morning after morning?
Should't you tell me?
Amnon said to him:
(It's ) Tamar, sister of Avshalom my brother - I love (her)!
Yonadav said to him;
Lie down on your lying-place and feign-sickness;
when your father comes to see you, say to him;
Pray let Tamar my sister come
and feed me some bread,
let her make-ready some food before my eyes,
in order that I may see, and I will eat from her hand.
So Amnon lay-down
and feigned-sickness,
and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king:
Pray let Tamar my sister come
and heat two heart-shaped-dumplings before my eyes,
that I may be-fed from her (own) hand.
|
|
David sent
(word) toTamar, in the palace-house, saying;
Pray go to the house of Amnon your brother,
and make-ready for him some food.
So Tamar went to the house of Amnon her brother, while he
was lying-down,
she took some dough, kneaded (it), heated (it) before his
eyes,
and boiled the heart-shaped-dumplings,
then she took the pot and placed it before him,
but he refused to eat.
Amnon said;
Have everyone go out from me!
And everyone went out from him.
Amnon said to
Tamar;
Bring the food into the inner-room, that I may be-fed from
your (own ) hand.
So Tamar took the heart-shaped-dumplings that she had made
and brought them to Amnon her brother, into the inner-room.
When she brought (them) close to him (for him) to eat,
he overpowered her and said to her:
come, lie with me, sister!
She said to him:
No, brother, do not force me,
[the verb
here should be translated like in Genesis and Exodus: Lea,
The slaves were "oppressed"]
for such is not to be done in Israel
-
don't do this vile-thing!
[See the rape of Dina, Genesis 34]
and as for me, where would I take my
disgrace?
and as for you, you would be like one of the vile-ones in
Israel!
So-now pray speak to the king - he will not withhold me from
you.
|
|
But he would
not hearken to her voice,
he overpowered her
and forced her,
lying with her.
and
(then) Amnon hated her with an exceedingly great hatred,
indeed, greater was the hatred with which he hated her
than the love with which he had loved her;
Amnon said to her;
Get-up, go-away!
She said to him:
about this great evil -more than the other thing that you
did to me - sending me away ~~~~!
[Note of the translator: The halting
syntax shows Tamar's emotional state!]
But he would not hearken to her;
he called to his attending lad
and said;
Pray send this-one away from me, outside,
and lock the door behind her!
Now on her was
an ornamented tunic
[like Josef's! [Gn
37:3, see below],
he was almost killed by his brothers
and later almost raped by a woman and she too
projected her guilt and shame!]
for thus were clothed the king's virgin daughters in robes
-
So his attendant brought her outside, and locked the door
behind her.
And Tamar put ashes onto her head,
while the ornamented tunic
that was on her, she tore;
she put her hands on her head
and went-along, going-along and crying out.
|
|
Avshalom her
brother said to her;
Has Amnon your brother been with you?
now sister, be-silent
- he is your brother;
don't take this thing to heart!
[see "the Bible of Feelings"
about "heart" as a "leading word" in the
David-Bat-Sheva-Avshalom narrative]
So Tamar sat desolate in the house of Avshalom her brother.
Now king David heard about all these things,
and he was exceedingly upset.
And Avshalom did not speak with Amnon, (anything) from evil
to good,
for Avshalom hated Amnon over the fact that he had forced
Tamar his sister.
That was the beginning
of his rebellion, which almost killed David.
|
|
I found no image, which
captures TAMAR,
David's daughter, Avshalom's sister,
after she was raped by David's son Amnon,
and tore her
"kutonet-pasim",
her "ornamented tunic",
as Amnon had torn her virginity and defiled her with her own blood..
But I found many images who tried to capture how a woman, the Egyptian
Potifar's wife, almost raped Josef...
When he refused her, just as Tamar refused, he could get away by letting
go of his "cloth".
A cloth, more exactly a "kutonet-pasim",
an "ornamented tunic"
- in Tamar's case this indicated that she was a princess,
in Josef's it indicated that he was his father's favorite son -
was the trigger of Josef's
brothers' inner "Kayyin",
that is, "not feeling equal",
and when they had sold Josef to the Midianites , they brought their
father the kutonet soaked in blood,
to make him believe that Josef was torn by an animal.
 
[Gn 37:23-34]
So it was, when Yosef came to his brothers,
that they stripped Yosef of his coat,
the ornamented coat that he had
on,
and took him and cast him into the pit....
they hauled up yosef from the pit
and sold Yosef to the yishmaelites...
But they took Yosef's coat,
they slew a hairy goat
and dipped the coat
in the blood.
They had the ornamented coat sent
out
and had it brought to their father and said;
We found this;
pray recognize
whether it is your son's coat or
not!
He recognized it
and said;
My son's coat!
An ill-tempered beast has devoured him!
Yosef is torn, torn-to-pieces!
Yaakov rent his clothes,
he put sackcloth on his loins
and mourned his son for many days.
|
[Gn 39, 6-20]
Now Yosef was fair of form and fair to look at.
... his lord's wife fixed her eyes
upon Yosef
and said;
Lie with me!
But he refused,
he said to his lord's wife:
Look, my lord need not concern himself with anything in the
house,
with me here,
and everything that belongs to him, he has placed in my hands.
He is no greater in this house than I
and has withheld nothing from me
except for yourself,
since you are his wife.
So how could I do this great ill?
I would be sinning against God!
Now it was, as she would speak to Yosef day after day,
that he would not hearken to her, to lie beside her, to be
with her -
so it was, on such a day,
when hecame into the house to do his work,
and none of the house-people was there in the house-
that she grabbed him by his garment, saying:
Lie with me!
But he left his garment in her hand and
fled, escaping outside.
|
The garment [beged] then becomes
the center piece of the woman's PROJECTION
of her feelings on Josef,
spelled out twice in lengthy speeches of self-defense...
Both are victims of their
sons and each one mourns - touchingly - over a son .
Ya'aqov, who once wrestled with himself and uprooted the enmity from
his brothers heart
and David, who slew Goliat,
both attract the reflections of their unhealed guilt....
......
13:32
but Yonadav son of Shim'a, David's brother, spoke up and said:
Let not my lord think that all the lads, the king's sons,
have died,
for Amnon alone has died;
for by Avshalom's mouth (this) has been determined
since the time of his humbling
(the same
term , which before was translated as "forcing"...]
Tamar his sister.
so-now
don't let the king take the word to heart saying:
all the king's sons have died,
for Amnon alone has died.
And Avshalom has gotten-away [why
not "fled"?]
... here, the king's sons came,
lifting up their voices and weeping,
and also the king all his servants wept, an exceedingly great
weeping.
Now Avshalom had gotten-away;
....
And he mourned for his son all the days.
avshalom had gotten-away and gone to Geshur,
and he was there for three years.
And the king's spirit ceased going-out to avshalom,
for he felt-sorrow concerning
Amnon, for he was dead.
|
|
 |
After
three years an illusionary reconciliation occurs,
and then Avshalom starts his great rebellion.
One of David's intimate friends switches to Avshalom's party.
Ahitofel is known as the best
adviser ever.
"Now the
advice of Ahitofel which he advised
was in those days like inquiring of the word of God;
thus was all of Ahitofel's advice,so for david, so for Avshalom."
[2. Samuel 16:23]
So after David had to flee from Jerusalem
leaving behind only ten concubines to guard his palace,
Avshalom asked Ahitofel,
how best he could bring it home to his father,
that now he, Avshalom, was the king.
Ahitofel knew, where David was most vulnerable:
below his waistline!
Come in to your father's concubines,
whom he left to watch over the palace-house;
when all Israel hears that you have made your father reek,
they will be strengthened, the hands of all who are with you.
So they spread out for Avshalom a tent on the
roof,
and Avshalom came in to his father's concubines,
before the eyes of all Israel.
[2.
Samuel 16:21-22]
With not so tiny
a thought of caring for those victimized women,
David, when he recovers from his fathomless
grief for his dead son,
and returns to Jerusalem and his palace,
what is the first thing he does?
the
king took the ten concubine women
whom he had left to watch over the house
and put them in a house under guard and sustained them,
but in to them he did not come,
for they were tied-off until the day of their death to living
widowhood.
