“The elite...” That means you. Compared to the entire population of the world, those who stop by here are few; those who stay are rare. Relatively speaking, you are the few and the rare.
Pantomime is a form of drama that goes back to very ancient times. It is a Greek word, and means “to play all roles.”
La Cenerentola – or, Cinderella, is an opera by Rossini, and is more or less a high class version of a pantomime. As you know, some of the characters in a pantomime, are played by actors of a gender different from that of the role in which they are being represented in the performance. Status and position are usually also reversed at times during the performance, and the ending is usually highly implausible or unlikely.
Pantomimes are performed for children, but are meant to be understood by adults too because they operate on many levels of meaning and employ words and phrases which are not supposed to be comprehensible to younger people.The good character enters the stage from the left as you watch, and the bad character enters from the right.
Clever adult pantomime is beyond the reach of common people, common religious or moral understandings, and common intellect or mentality.
...If you come here regularly and stay sufficiently to read these articles, you will realize that you need a password to enjoy all the benefits that there are here. Here, it does not matter whether you have degrees or a reputation proving that you are or know anything, it does not matter that you think writers here have pretensions or not, it does not matter that you wield power in other spheres. For here, promises cannot be broken. (I hope you recognize where that paraphrasing originates from.)
Okay, so tell me – if someone wasn't aware that “The Story of the Nightingale” is from Aesop's Fables rendered into English in a version by Hans Christian Anderson, how will it be possible for that person to understand the character of “Nick Nightingale” in Stanley Kubrick's “Eyes Wide Shut,” for instance? The pretensions of today's noisy ignorant, is absolutely staggering. And the education standards at the higher levels, have slipped beyond recall.
But rejoice! You have found this oasis right here! And I promise you interpretations that can place even “the facts” in a light which only real intellect may see anything under. In other words, neither children nor idiots will get it. And that will protect you. The benefit? Truth will set you free, and money will help you enjoy that freedom. Now there's an unlikely ending for yer.
