LOVE IS THE HIGHER LAW

I know that most of you should have thought about the original sin. And many have done, sure.
One million years ago our ancestors changed the reproduction system usual in mammals for parental institutions (Robin Fox). Incest and adultery arose as restrictions ad intra and ad extra for copulation, so humans became differentiated from other animals.
Most of you believe that the difference must be seen on the rational core of the humans but maybe you didn´t notice that first to be rational you must be normative. Norms are essential and previous to reason. You must say this must be (or not) before you make a logic proposition.
First it was logos, say the Word.
The metaphore of original sin tell us about the irruption of this type of knowledge in the human cultural core. The knowledge founded in the LAW. We use this form in each and every part of the culture: mathematics, physics, music…not just only in the legal world (Michael Foucault).
With this instrument humans have conquered the Earth and are destroying the creation. Devil must be happy.
Yesterday, I was reading the debates that are partially shown in The Mission movie. And that´s right: Jesus message had no need to be told to Parana´s indigenous peoples because they were clean of the original sin. They didn´t use the law type knowledge forms so they live in harmony with God and creation.
The sharing of the Gospel was necessary when they took contact with what we call civilization.
LOVE IS THE HIGHER LAW (Saint Paul, Maura Alonso). This is the leit-motiv of the Gospels, but millions of people are not Christian and they have their right to do so.
That´s why I think Woodstock Nation burst in to history.
Love & Peace Friends.

  1. It's hard to know what our original sin was, but I think you're right that it had to do with the civilising process that begins with the intellectual distinction between male & female. We were much purer before.
