The Modern Maze

There is nothing about the modern world that is done by design. What I mean is that the modern world is completely unplanned. Of course there is design here! And there are designers. But the world, its people, its politics, its society, its laws, its culture - none of these things have any intelligent thought behind them. Like Topsy, they just grew.

And yet we are the inheritors of such incredible wealth and culture and history!

If only we but knew just the littlest part of it...

Alas! We know it not.

A little lamp to shine in your soul...

Words on top of more words are piled up all across the web. Like the Epimenides' Paradox however, they run around in endless circles, contradicting themselves and yet ever more stridently do their propounders yell out their messages.

Some fellow wished to tell me the other day, that Evil was the counter of Love and of God in our Universe, and that the Supreme Agent of Evil was Satan and this is how or what the elite of the world follow in order to secure their material power and position.

It sounds deliciously plausible, doesn't it?

And that is because people today tend to mess around quite a lot with words and their meanings - a lot of things become interchangeable. They are not, of course, actually interchangeable at all, but the modern mind is somewhat crazed and confused, ignorant too, and thus apt to grasp at straws when it comes to searching for answers to demanding questions.

You may be aware of the Letter of Paul to Titus, in which the Paradox of Epimenides is referred to: 'one of the their own prophets tells it, and rightly, that Cretans are always liars.'

Now the academic and University egg-heads run around fascinated with the seeming central paradox - namely that, how can Epimenides, being himself a Cretan, be telling the truth, when he says that Cretans are always liars.

Yet there are two other aspects of Cretans also discussed in the actual sentence which may be quoted completely: 'savage brutes, with greedy bellies.'

And in these two other aspects we may draw a lesson for our modern world from the very ancient and distant past.

Fashion by 'People Of The Labyrinths'

I treat the readers here as highly literate and extremely well-read, and therefore I expect you to know of the connection between Minoan Crete and the lost civilization that disappeared long ago because of its avarice and greed, to say nothing of its perverted blood sacrifices to bulls and its love of gold, and its pre-occupation with rigid and myriad laws and elite rituals, and its claim to some special relationship with divinity, and possession of inner sanctum in which 'the god really dwells...'

: )

Of whom could I possibly be speaking?

All liars from the beginning. Murderers. Savage brutes, with greedy bellies.

Words on top of words are piled up all over the internet, strange, yet seemingly familiar words and ideas.

The ancient Greeks called them 'Sons of Poseidon.'

The BBC, being as it is now, a captive of atheistic materialists, keep pushing these 'scientific' discoveries into which they inject moral speculations which appear to justify the bad behaviour of governments and the so-called power elite of today: this week, came the hoary one about some lake around which dozens of pre-historic human skeleton fossils were found, that were evidently from a brutal massacre by other ancient humans in a struggle for valuable resources...

All lies.

I don't know what the lyrics here are, but the song title is 'So Right!'

What the ancient Greek philosophers tell, however, is that some people did survive the great ultra-ancient cataclysms which destroyed high civilizations of the deep past. But what you will almost never hear from the 'words piled on top of words' Jimmy Wales insertions into human written history(!) - is that two distinctly different types of people from two distinctly different cultures survived, one of which lies about its past, and the other of which cannot be bothered to disclose itself. Oh yes, this is exactly and precisely recorded in the ancient Greek texts, but you will never see much reference to those passages themselves.

The world is a labyrinth into which most people have fallen. But none more so than the liars themselves, seeing as that they are - as you can see yourself if you look around you - the rulers of everything. 

That is, of everything that you see around you today. 

Tell me - do you see who the Predator is? And how silently he stalks his victims.

Trust me when I tell you, all is not what it seems, or how it superficially appears.

You see, some people think the world is not perfect. May I remind you though, of what John Malkovich says in his recent unusual '100 years' trailer: 'One hundred years - the time it takes to create Louis XIII.' I can't recall whether he actually says 'to create perfection...' Or just 'Louis XIII.'

So was it perfect in the making... Was it perfect at the start... During the ups and downs of the years. Or just at the end, when you - or at least, when someone - eventually drinks it?
