Special Bush, Special Beer

In our world now today, where everyone jumps on-line all the time and tells secrets, and all the experts spruik (it's an Australian word) loud and long the truth about absolutely everything, there is at least one thing that all academics say is still not known to them - and that is what actually went on inside the telesterion of Eleusis.

There are plenty of ancient references to it, but - and unusually, since everyone today knows everything, right - there is no actual description by any ancient writer at all, what constituted the actual Eleusianian Mysteries...

Well, I mean, they are mysteries though, after all.

Going up to see the light(s). LOL

Never stops Wikipedia though, generally!

They will tell you any kind of * and get away with it completely all the time. When I say 'get away with it' there is no one with their level of global 'mind reach' that can counter them.

Now Muslims are happy enough to admit that Allah was in the Burning Bush when He talked with Musa (AS), and certainly Jews will tell you something broadly similar about the time when Moshe Rabbeinu... about the time... wait. Let me consult Wikipedia.

I don't know what Moshe Rabbeinu is so famous for when I go look through the endless claptrap on him in Wikipedia.

You would certainly think that maybe the guy who got to actually meet - according to the whole narrative of his whole entire nation - with a Deity in person, would merit at least the words 'was said to have meet with God (and I don't mind what name you give that god...);' but the entry never says that and today's Jews have not all rushed and got up in arms and complained (a touch unusual for them) about it. All it says is 'God appeared to Moses as a burning bush.' As.

Hell, and who am I to object? Unlike Wikipedia, I was not there in order to be able to say!

Anyway, forget all that - I want to take you to a much more profitable place, which is, namely, to that part in the Eleusinian Mysteries, in which those who had gone way past 'initiate' status, and attained the 'contemplator' position, meet the god of gifted wealth, Ploutus, or Plutus, depending on how you like it, and he gives them a whole bunch of gold -, and money, and real treasure; IE real, worldly, material value.

Burning bush? Okay not a burning bush then,
but kinda like something burning though...?

The edict against divulging the secrets of the mysteries is absolute, and if you yourself once having acquired them ever divulge them -, you will be killed, and all those you... ...well, you know the rest 'cuz you have seen that flick.

Yet, nevertheless, I find there is so much nonsense and sheer nonsensical speculation (it is nonsensical since if you examine these things carefully, you will find they are stupid in the extreme) given so much space these days, that at a bare minimum, and hopefully not risking the wrath of the gods (the one Greek guy once who was said to have divulged the secrets, in fact did not do that really, because he did not know them, and was instead exiled for saying there was no god at all) - at least I may, I think, outline one particular thing.

The drink that is used inside the telesterion, is not some psychedelic drugged-up concoction with mushrooms in it and all of this utter rubbish.

It is just spiced beer. With some mint in it.

Pretty much the same sort of thing Abraham gave to those three 'god' beings at the occasion of the start of this whole long-winded Jewish saga.

Personally I don't know why they (the Jews) don't just simply say - 'hey you, you up there: you owe us a spiced beer...'

I mean I would.

But now...

Spiced... ...beer.

Now listen closely now because it gets interesting from here.

Not even those highest and mightiest of all, of ancient writers - who are bound to have known exactly what went on inside the telesterion - ever even suggested that they did know, but in those one or two cases when they mentioned something about those matters, merely ventured a view as to the moral end result thereof.

And I can hardly do different than adopt their example.

Not all people who are wealthy were the recipients of benefits from the god Plutus. Oh no indeed, in fact far from it.

Those too, who had never been inducted into the mysteries at Eleusis, slandered the god himself no end... ...just as they all do today in Wikipedia about so many other, and similar, things.

The world is this huge, vast place, filled with people of all kinds, most with fixed and firm views about simply everything. There are those who 'work hard' (so they tell us) and rise to great wealth and power like the brilliant literate geniuses Elon Musk and Bill Gates (he - Bill G., - has a 'summer recommended reading list' that has been doing the 'viral twitter' rounds recently).

And there are those that the conspiracy theorists say have gotten their wealth and position through 'selling their souls to Satan.' 

Marcello Gandini - designer.

And there are those who are not well-off the whole of their lives (should have become Freemasons, or sold their souls, I guess).

And there are those who say, like Diagoras of ancient Greece did, that there is no god at all - and he will tell you most assertively that 1. he knows what the Eleusianian Mysteries are, and that 2. there was nothing there that happened anyway, really.

Now, I am not mean, at least I try not to be. And I won't just get deviated away from opening the gate to those that might want to still slip through inside here...

Inside here.
