Elijah Goes To Horeb

So, 'Mr. Smith Goes To Washington' is a 1939 movie starring James Stewart, taken from a book by Lewis Foster about a young United States Senator (Mr. Smith) who tries to expose corruption and ends up talking for 25 hours on the Senate floor until he collapses with exhaustion.

It is regarded as 'one of the greatest films of all time,' and is preserved in the National Film Registry, selected by the Library of Congress for being 'culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.'

Elijah is, of course, the guy who also tried to expose the corruption of those following the Canaanite 'Baal.'

Elijah's new chariot of black fire...

He didn't go to Washington (not as far as we know...) but he did take off to hide from people trying to kill him and eventually he disappeared up into the heavens in a fiery chariot in a whirlwind of fire.

Now... It is impossible to explain to anyone that the Bible exactly nowhere at all says Elijah actually 'went up' any 'mountain.' And yet the widespread idea is that he traveled to a certain 'Mount Horeb' sometimes also called 'Mount Sinai' and there he encountered God.

And that is not what the text says.

Nor does it say that there is either a 'mount' Horeb, nor a 'mount' Sinai. And that is true also, of the place Moses was said to have ascended also, 'to see God.'

Instead, what is said is that these people went and went and went, almost starving, until they 'found God in a place shining like the sun, and shining like the moon on another face...'

If you recall your Bible, God tells Moses to leave the location where Pharaoh had ruled, and that if ever he or any of the Children of Israel ever went back to Egypt, they would die. And He further told Moses that 'the Glory of God shall go before you and no more shall I dwell in Egypt.'

So - any 'God shining thing-y' is definitely not in Egypt, and nor is it in any mountain either, since Moses went round and round a desert for forty years and the 'Glory of God' went along with him. In the desert.

For reasons that will truly truly shock you and that I will not be explaining here, the fact is though that (although I'll not be explaining what about this is shocking), one of the faces of one of the pyramids in Egypt is called 'the face of the Moon,' and the main face of the Great Pyramid is called 'the face of the Sun.'

Not a mountain, just a little shard of fire.

Anyway, after being told by a 'messenger' to get up and travel for quite some time and that he would need to eat to have enough strength to make the journey - Elijah ends up, not on a mountain, necessarily (it never says anything about a mountain at all) but in a cave.

He had come from a mountain - Mount Carmel, which in Arabic is Al-Muraqa ('the shining'), and there are other etymological theories, one that this place means 'Noble' (Karem) place of 'El.' Although in this case, it appears that there was some considerable dispute as to whether this 'El' was a deity from Tyre (more or less the same as Poseidon of Crete), and indeed this dispute was the virtually the whole story about Elijah anyway, principally, the key part where he calls down fire from heaven as opposed to the 'prophets of Baalim' who were not able to bring down anything from anywhere - and whom he mocked raucously. 

But he had not necessarily ended up on one, that is on a literal mountain. The text does talk about the power of the God of Elijah shaking even mountains, but that is all there is about 'mountains.'

Elijah is not on a 'mountain.'

He has 'found' a mountain of light.

To get to that 'mountain of light' the angel tells him he'd better eat what the angel had brought him, because otherwise he would not have the strength to make it! ...Interesting.

Elijah, for his part, although he does eat and drink what he was brought, he was himself at the point of giving up totally: according to the text he told God that he was at an end and that he might as well die there and then. No - in fact he didn't say 'might as well,' he said that he should die right there and then. But God says 'no - you gotta go on some more and some more and some more (the proverbial 'forty days/nights' thing) and then, you'll reach the mountain of light.'

What's all this endurance thing all about? I'll tell you what it's about. And you tell me whether you agree or not.


As we are on the verge of the implementation of the new 5G network technologies, I shall take the opportunity to explain that there is an amount of electromagnetic force that keeps molecules together, and that it takes a higher amount of EM energy to break those bonds. This is the essential worry that 'conspiracy theorists' have regarding whether this new thing will increase the risks of cancer. Theoretically, it shouldn't happen because the actual energy levels are diffused because of the squaring principle over distance from the microwave towers. However, since there are no studies, we do not know whether there may not be some other effects from warming of molecules due to simple energy perturbation, even by diffuse low frequency radiation at these new increased levels.

But, let's posit that there is also, a complex network of EMF centers inside - or that is to say, parallel to - the human physical body made up of molecules, and that these are integrated through the frequency levels of the molecular bonds of course, however if they are discretely integrated also at their own field levels, this may be at incredibly minute wavelengths, maybe somewhere around even the gamma radiation frequency; it would take some kind of quanta of even smaller frequency to be able to penetrate those EMF networks. 

...If you were a 'mountain of light beyond gamma frequencies,' and you knew precisely how the human consciousness all was networked together inside a person, you could cut them all up apart and kill someone quite easily, never ever to be put back together again quite the same way unless you had their personal 'design schema' and even then you'd be stuck with the Star Trek transporter question as to whether that even was the same 'Picard' beamed up at the other end, as the 'Picard' at the origin location of the 'transporter beam!' LOL

It's not really that funny, though, is it?

Ten different individuals, all with the power to cut your internal consciousness to shreds... How would you trust them to hold that power over you, even if you were one of them yourself?

Are we getting the picture yet?

  1. Movies can teach us a lot. For example, I was just watching "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Its underlying theme, of course, is that Clark Griswold is one tightly-wound, angry dude, forced (or volunteering?) to live a disingenuous life.

    I can sympathize with him. And I can sympathize with ET, who would surely be put off by all this pent-up anger.

    But anyway... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
