Layer Upon Layer

In the early Renaissance, which is regarded by historians as having begun perhaps in the 13th Century, but certainly by the 14th Century, a 're-birth' of something, is said to have occurred. Just exactly what that 'something' actually was, is still argued to this day - that is, if you can actually find anyone with any genuine learning who could give a damn.

All the history books, and most importantly of course, Wikipedia's entries - say that the Renaissance was a cultural movement.

This is the 'Sanctm' ring - cost you $60,000

All these commentaries on the history of it are delusional.

Firstly, there never ever was a death of the fundamental progressive ideas from Greece and Rome. Egypt was a major and a key center of the ideas, and the styles of thinking, including the maths and engineering, that the civilized world had inherited from Athens and Rome. When Islam invaded Egypt they soon enough saw the functional value of the knowledge that was there and used it to varying degrees depending on whether the particular Caliphs were under pressure or were more at ease within their own Caliphates. To this extent the difference between the conditions for great science (using that term as a literary anachronism here, admittedly) and thinking between what obtained under the lunatic Emperors of the declining Roman Empire, and the various Caliphates... ...was zero.

There never was a 're-birth.' What really happened was that the Great Plague ensured that only the genuinely wise survived, and this, especially so in the wealthy Florence of the 14th Century. And consequently they asserted their cultural superiority, or, better said, their cultural practices became more obvious where previously these had been over-laid by the stupid and crass and numerically bigger, general society of morons - same as, much the same as we have around us today.

Here is Dame Daphne's ring - it looks like, but it is not,
an 'Illuminati' symbol.'

In Los Angeles, if you spend something like $60,000 a year in membership fees, you can get to go to the Snctm private sex club, where a number of well-known celebrities attend - indeed they do attend from all the reports of respected media sources.

And for that sum, you will receive, among other things, a ring with all the same old boring symbols of the so-called 'Illuminati...' Yawn.

And you get to don masks and go hang out in places that imitate the infamous orgy scenes in Kubrick's last flick, which I tend to talk about too much here. Well, for me it stands as one of the greatest examples of mass cultural illiteracy across the planet of all time.

I have been conducting a conversation off-board with a friend here over this past week, and it relates in a few subject items, to Kubrick's EWS. 

Now... As you all must know by now, I have been to these 'parties' where people such as Kidman and Guinness and others were in attendance, way earlier either than the movie's release, or when this theme began to have its own 'renaissance.' I mean, come on, Der Fledermaus could hardly be more obvious of a masked party or orgy, could it?

Daphne again

I told the friend who is currently making a study of EWS, that the second password - the one 'for the House' - suggested within the movie itself, was something that came from a work by Richard Strauss (he composed 'Der Fledermaus'). It isn't 'Fledermaus' but that's something certainly along the way, along the correct path, anyway.

So. Any of you guys and gals here want to get into one of these affairs, I am quite prepared to divulge as much as you will need, to locate, to find, and to get in, and not be thrown out.

These things are free. They don't cost $60,000 or any thousand dollars.

The Snctm private club was started by a Jehovah's Witness, or ex-Jehovah's Witness - and the thing with them is, they do have bit of a 'cult of the body' thing going on.

The real and I mean really real, 'private clubs' that I will provide y'all with entry to do not have any such 'cult of the body' type mentality or philosophy going on - you go as is, and what you see inside is people as they are. You know, possibly another of the greatest delusions that people have is what they say 'beauty' is. The truth is there is no guaranteed standard definition. It is absolutely in the eye of the beholder. I can't tell you what to like, and although we both may have some merging points of reference in the end there are a lot of personal, idiosyncratic things at play as well.

Commercial 'private clubs' are not really 'private' at least not in the sense of being authentically exclusive; they exclude no one so long as you have the cash. 

My friends, let me tell you something - I can and I will, provide.

That is if you want. It's layer upon layer of knowledge. And it will take your little boat up onto a pleasant shore.
