À propos de ce contenu audio
In today's episode, Linda examines taboo. Normally when we think about taboos we think about good and evil. Linda shows us how taboos point to the inheritance of the endowment and have nothing to do with identifying good and evil.
In addition, Thomas Jefferson's words give us information about this thing that we call racism. This is because Thomas Jefferson wrote about the endowment men receive from their God and he wrote about his outrage at the presence of men with African heritage on colonial soil. Thomas Jefferson was enraged because the men of African heritage had lost their right to pass on the endowment (because they had beendispossessed of their lands). Thomas Jefferson was very clear--when those in possession of the land are forced to live with others who have been dispossessed, peace is impossible. In essence, Thomas Jefferson was writing of a taboo regarding male behavior--a generalized fear of being possessed by those who have been conquered.
We have the ability to uncover this taboo--to speak of it--to limit its ability to destroy our lives because as long as the taboo remains, humanity will be at war with itself.
