Welcome to Part Three of this my presentation titled: What is Marriage? A G98.7 FM Response Video Presentation Lecture Transcript
It’s Another Perspective – The Mystic Philosopher.
If you did not read Part One and Two in the said order I strongly recommend that you do so before` reading this Part Three.
I will now continue by looking on the second definition of the word marriage as given by dictionary.com
Second definition from section one: “Marriage is a Religiously or a Socially sanctioned union of persons who commit to one another, forming a familial and economic bond: Anthropologists say that some type of marriage has been found in every society, past and present.”
First I would like you to note from this definition that Marriage is a Religiously or a Socially sanctioned Union of persons who commit to one another. In other words either your Religion gave your permission to be Religiously Married or your Society meaning Community or Family give you permission/consent to get Married. The important thing to note however is that unless the Government Sanction your Marriage/Business it is not considered a Legal Marriage/Legal Business under the law.
I also want you to note the phrase “union of persons who commit one to another”; persons mean more than one. Therefore your Religion as in the case of Ancient Israel, Islam, Mormons etc. or your family, your community, your culture may sanction and give you permission to be Married to more than one person. Marriage to more than one person is also called group Marriage. However, under the current Western System of Government you can only be Legally Married to one person at a time.
Again even though you might be very Highly Religious, and even though your Pastor, your Church, your Community and others may put pressure on you to get Married or they might even pick and arrange your Partner for you the fact is that according to this definition a real Marriage it is all about accumulating Material Wealth, Riches, the Money, Money.
In fact there is even Marriage that is known as marriage of convenience. Which by definition is a Marriage that is entered into for monetary or social gain. Examples of marriage of convenience are people who may marry to some one just to get their Legal Landed Status in a Country. In some Marriage of convenience a woman or a man just want to have what they called a Mix Breed Child to model with. There are also some very contaminated, victims of severe inferior complex and mentally twisted minded high melanin men and woman also known as Black People of African Ancestry who Married Caucasian because they feel as if it’s a Social Gain and that now they are or that they will be more Socially accepted. The most insolent and disgraceful term that I heard with my own ears some of these ignoramuses in their true manifestations of their buffoonery use to describe their feelings of accomplishment is the term Step Up. Now that they are Married to a Caucasian, a person that these imbeciles/idiots thinks/believes is a White man or a White woman, they think/believe and say that they have now Stepped Up in life. How dumb that regrettable can some of my own people get?
Then there are some marriages of convenience where a man may marry the Pastor’s daughter or a woman may marry the Pastor’s son just to advance their own future ambitions etc. There are some people that are in Marriages today that never have sex or rarely have sex. There are some people, Pastors and all in many of these Churches and Religious Organizations and even in Politics etc. that are only presenting themselves as fronts thereby giving the public the impression that their marriage involve sexual activity; but behind the scene they wouldn’t touch each other with a ten foot pole. In fact at home when there are no guests around they can’t even stand the presence of each other etc. And why do I say all these things and point them out? It is just to prove to you that Marriage is a Business.
Section 2 definition a of Marriage:
“2. a. the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.”
Now because of most people’s religious teachings, doctrines and beliefs, they are led to think and to believe that a woman called a wife in a conjugal Marriage is the man’s helper. That a woman is a man’s servant, inferior and a slave;
And that the man is the head of the household/family and the leader of the house and as such even if or when the man is possibly the biggest jackass in a suit and tie or other clothing and walking around on two feet the woman is expected to listen to him, obey him and follow him and his every order. From my perspective this is far, far from the truth to say it quite mildly.
In fact according to the Christian bible I read in the book of Titus 2:4-5 quote: “ And so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.”
In 1 Timothy 5:14 I read: “Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, bear children, keep house,”.
And finally in 1 Timothy 2:15 I read “But women will be preserved/saved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.”
From my perspective this is not only unfair to women but it is rubbish. And if I a man was seriously looking for a Woman Business Partner and find a Woman that was willing to submit her wit, her ambition, her potential, her body, her mind and her intellect, her everything to my will in accordance to these scriptures that I have just quoted above for you from the bible, then I would have nothing to do with such a fool for a Life Long Business Partner. Nor would I intentionally train or encourage any of my daughters to stand behind some man and be their fools.
If or when you understand that a Marriage is a Business and a very Serious Business at that, then you will know that a woman in a Marriage is not just a helper, a Child-bearer, a Sex Pleaser, etc. but an Equal Partner and that she should be treated as such; As an Equal Partner. On the contrary it is just a matter of time that you will realize that your Marriage/Business is bound to Fail if it is not already a Failed, Bankrupt/Chapter Eleven Marriage/Business that is dying a very slow, torturous and agonizingly painful death.
Marriage
- a similar institution involving partners of the same gender, as in gay marriage; same-sex marriage.
Now some people are so caught up with this Same-Sex Marriage issue that they can’t even sleep at nights. They can’t even have a reasoning or conversation without bringing up the issue of Homosexuality and Same-Sex Marriages. They preach against it, they march against it, they talk about, they get upset about it, they are angry over it, they protest over it you name it, they are resentful about it, they hate each other over it the are even physically fighting and killing each other over it.
From my perspective only when we know and truly understand the meaning of the English word Marriage and the fact that Marriage is a Business and a very Serious Business, then and only then will we realize that Same-Sex Couples, or Same Gender Couples are entitled just like anyone of us to be Legally Married too; for if Marriage is a Business then doesn’t everyone has the right to start, own, operate and do a Business and do it legally? If Marriage is a Business then why should we want to try and exempt Homosexuals from having their own Business? In fact some of the biggest Corporations possibly Multi-billion Corporations are possibly either own or operated by Homosexuals.
From my perspective only when we know and understand that Marriage is a Business and a very Serious Business and also only when we know and understand what it takes to Start, to Own, to Organized, to Manage and to Operate a Business for ourselves only then will we realized that Same-Sex Marriage aka Same-Sex Business is none our dam Business.
From my perspective Same-Sex Marriage aka Same-Sex Business should only become our interest or our Business if we are Homosexuals or if Homosexual inclined.
My late mom though she was not educated in accordance to the System’s elite standard of education; but in her humble and commonsense way always told me to mind my own Business. “Mind your own business” she would say and also said that “if every body would pay more attention to dem business this world might be a better place”.
Incidentally if you dissect the word Business you will see that it mean Busy-ness. Meaning we should be occupied with our own activities, our own concerns and our own personal Business.
So if we stop giving all the attention to other people’s Businesses/Marriages, be they homosexuals or whoever and give full attention to our own Businesses/Marriages I can almost guarantee you that then our Businesses/Marriages will be far more fruitful, productive and prosperous. So to all you Pastors and others that are preoccupied with preaching and condemning Homosexuals I will suggest that you leave them alone let them take care of their Businesses/Marriages (and by the way the evidence has shown that they are doing an excellent job taking care of their own Businesses/Marriages) and give the time to taking care of your Marriages/Businesses. The exception being unless it is found or can be proven that they are deliberately and covertly meddling or nefariously interfering with yours or our Business/Marriages.
I know some of you will be saying and thinking that you are doing God’s Business in preaching by condemning sin. I would suggest that commonsense if activated will affirm that human cannot do God’s Business. And I always notice with great interest that anytime I see humankind interfering or trying to interfere with God’s Business it only cause disaster. Therefore leave God’s Business alone. God will and God should take care of His, Her or Its own dam Business. As a Natural Native Earthly Human my God tells me that if a thing is normal it will only last for a while but if it is Natural, meaning if it is of Mother Nature then it will last forever. And Nature is not in any rush to judgment or to condemn. So there is nothing for me or my God to worry about.
Now one of the reasons that I think its possible that some Same-Sex Marriages/Businesses might be stronger and far more successful than that of some Heterosexual Marriages/Business is that some men might be prone to treating another man with more respect and dignity and as their equal than they would to a woman. Some women might be able to get equal treatment from each other than from some men. For example if or when two men have an argument of serious disagreement on any subject one man will not be quick to tell the other man to shut up let a lone quick tempered to raise his hand to hit him unless he knows as a fact that the other man is a whim and wont strike back harder.
Social Institutions
Earlier I quote section 2a. Definition of marriage: “as the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments, religious ceremonies, etc.”
So what is a Social Institution?
But before I define and talk about Social Institutions let me first answer the question what is an Institution or what does the word Institution means from the dictionary.
According to Dictionary.com
Institution – Noun
- an organization, establishment, foundation, society, or the like, devoted to the promotion of a particular cause or program, especially one of a public, educational, or charitable character: This college is the best institution of its kind.
- the building devoted to such work.
- a public or private place for the care or confinement of inmates, especially mental patients or other disabled or handicapped persons.
- Sociology. a well-established and structured pattern of behavior or of relationships that is accepted as a fundamental part of a culture, as marriage: the institution of the family.
- any established law, custom, etc.
Note: from these five definitions we all should be able to see that all Institutions are man-made. Tangible or intangible they are the inventions and the fabrications of man based on his, man’s own intellect and creativity. Institutions are establishments; and establishments are designed for Business and Commerce. And it does not matter if it is a Mental Institution, Legal Institutions, Financial Institution, Penal Institution, Hospital Institution, Charitable Institution, Slavery Institution, Government Institution, Religious Institution or Marriage Institution, you name it and I am telling you it’s a Business.
Institutions that are not doing Commerce and making or in-taking Money cannot and will not stay in Business for long. And those that try to stay in Business without making or in-taking Money are in suffering. Institutions are Normal but they are not Natural. There are no Institutions in Nature.
Marriage is The Lord’s Business
Now some say that Marriage is the Lord’s Business. Marriage is God’s Business. Marriage is an Institution made by the Lord. Marriage is an Institution made by God and that is ok to say that. I have no problem with that statement, with that truth or with that belief. But the question I ask is which Lord and which God are these people talking about? Or whose lord and whose God are they talking about? From my perspective any Lord or God that is setting up Institutions and Establishments of any form is what I called a lesser lord or a lesser god and to be more blunt and specific such a Lord and such a God is in inferior Lord or God. Such a Lord or God is nothing but a Lord wanna and a God wanna be.
For example in an attempt to support and prove their claims and beliefs that their God is about setting up institutions and establishments on earth I have had people quote me the following scripture from their bibles: quote “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof” meaning the earth belongs to your Lord and God and the fullness thereof and also they that dwell therein for he had founded it upon the seas and established it upon the floods.” To many this sounds great, poetic and very touching. And without question many believe that. Some might even get into the spirit by just simply reading that scripture in the Christian bible. However, to those of us who are not under the System’s hypnotic trance and are able to think independently, critically, analytically and reasonably for ourselves, this might be telling us a great truth that others will never be able to see. This might be both telling us and reminding us of the conquering Lords and Gods that went around the world conquering, murdering, slaughtering, killing, pillaging, maiming, raping, subduing, exploiting, subjugating and enslaving etc. the peoples that are the Natural Native Earthly Humans after which they are now claiming that they have founded or discovered new lands upon which they have established their Systems and Institutions for their Gods and their Lords; and not the Gods and Lords of their innocent victims.
To the Natural Native Earthly Human the idea of owning anything, owning land, setting up Systems and Institutions to control, manipulate and enslave their fellow humans was not even alien to them as the alien invaders and conquerors were; because it has never even crossed their innocent minds. They saw themselves and rightfully so as an aspect of the whole in which they live, move, breath and have their existence and not separate from the whole.
This is the end of Part Three of this Lecture Presentation Transcript. Please join me in Part Four for the continuation as I delve deeper into the meanings and definitions of the words Marriage and the word Institution.
