The Palace - Polanski Movie

Later this year there will be an exclusive limited release of Roman Polanksi's just completed film 'The Palace,' which is a story set in the Gstaad Palace Hotel about the intertwining lives of the guests and the staff.

The film is set to get an international theatrical release date of early in 2023, maybe one reason for that being the story itself in the movie is set around the events of a particular New Year's celebrations at 'the Palace.'

...There is so much about Polish people after WWII in the West, that it's hard to know where to begin. You could say that the brilliance of criminal-minded war-mongers like Zbigniew Brezinski shaped US arms-racketeering even down to this day, but that would assume there are never any other shadowy figures behind someone like Brezinski, or Kosinski (Jercy Kosinski, CIA propagandist front guy), or Alan Greenspan - or even Scarlett Johansson and Nicholas Cage.

A lot of the drama of this planet comes from shadowy things going on well behind the scenes.

When you look at the internet forums all over the place eventually you will come across the kind of question that goes - 'Why are atheists not convinced about the proofs for the existence of God?' Or this doozy - 'Why are atheists shifting the goalposts to scientific proof for the existence of God, now that God's existence has been proved?'

You see... ...look. There is a problem with people who turned up in the West anywhere, post WWII and found their way into the highest levels of 'achievement' and politics, the military, and government. And it is simply that you cannot really prove the reliability of who they say they 'were' during the War, or where they actually came from.

Anymore than you could 'prove' for instance, that Jesus and any/all of His followers existed, in the first place because their existence was banned on pain of death by the authorities, and then, pretty soon afterwards, the 'authorities' self-destructed anyway! Still though people argue over it who want to argue.

Records of Nazis and Jews and 'others' were burned during WWII and the same went for competing social and political interests in Jerusalem and Rome too - more than several times in fact. Amr al-As tried to burn all of the records of the Grand Libraries (or 'Museums') of Alexandria and Baghdad but his underlings did not do a great job, and the dump where the massive fire was lit turned out to be at a place called Oxirynchus, where more or less all of our oldest surviving actual papyri and scrolls relating to the great maths and philosophy and literature and religious writings of the ancient past were found! ...Admittedly half-burned. And some things completely missing to common public view.

The fact is, many many times in history, have there been instances in which rulers sought to blot out existing knowledge, and corrupt the memory of it, including the books or inscriptions, seeking to substitute something different that would benefit the ruling elites in place of the human race at large and its knowledge base.

The reason I wanted to talk about King Charles' 'vow of selfless duty' (to something) was that the thoughtful aware person instantly senses that there is possibly hypocrisy going on. What level of hypocrisy the reasonable person will not quickly rush to judge, but the point is, people sense something not quite right is being said...

People sense things within.

A human looks at someone and says 'Oh he/she is very beautiful.' But will the sensing of a disingenuous attitude and of hypocrisy stand the test of 'truth' about whether that person continues to be seen as 'beautiful' though?

See the common modern atheist wants to take the discussion to whether or not you can evidence a material person, standing in some outrageously 'heavenly' attire, and issuing thunderous pronouncements...

This goes with the music track below...

Whereas the actual definition of the word 'god' is whom someone worships.

Of course you're entitled to worship a hypocrite if you want. I am not going to stop you.

But what I really want to know is why you would even think candor and honesty and absolutely truthfulness must go along with outward physical aesthetic beauty?  

...Or else otherwise there is a sense, a feeling, of something being wrong; or just 'not quite right.'

Where are you getting that sense from? You're not getting it from Evolution - Evolution supports the liar.

In other words, in actuality, the human definition of God, always includes Truth - as in absolute unequivocal Truth. We worship that. That is in fact what we call 'God.'

And yes, there is a component, or a dimension, which goes with it that has to do with some kind of weird technically complicated concept of visual aesthetic appeal as well. But whereas we all know that people argue over who is, say, the most beautiful person at any particular given time or in context of prevailing fashionable ideas about visual aesthetics (and so that cannot be 'God' per se), nobody argues over the mechanistic reality and 'structural integrity' of Truth in its specific meaning.

Those people who blot out Truth, and subsequently vend lies to the public cannot thus worship Truth as God, or as a God.

And naturally these kinds of people do not want you to think that there is a God, just as they will deny you the activity of worshiping something - which you do though; because you worship Truth.

Now.

Although it seems that the God Truth is very shadowy of a figure, hiding behind things like the integrity of monarchs, or the reliability of aesthetic beauty -, on the one hand it is nothing for you as a human to 'worship' some Hollywood screen idol, yet you have never turned your head around to see what is making that person actually 'beautiful' and certainly not, have you turned to see where the absence of hypocrisy in them comes from; if they are that kind of individual, which is pretty rare granted.

See only a hypocrite claims to know what aesthetic beauty is and where it comes from, if we do no beautiful things ourself. Neither you nor I can paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti, so what arrogance to tell him that we know better than he, where beauty comes from, or how it is 'made.'

Viola Manigk - is the vocalist in the 
track below.

But if you yourself have no hypocrisy in you, you can know of a certainty, that there is an ineluctable connection and a relationship between you, and this shadowy thing that you worship. Well unless you are prepared to say that you don't exist, and that there is no proof and no evidence for your existence, then in fact there absolutely is proof to you of the existence of the thing that you worship.

My question is where did you get your doubt from?

And let me tell you this, if you worship something that proves to be no god, then you can say indeed you have been worshiping a false god, an idol.

Listen, my friend, your problem is going to be when your god, turns up. Not when it lets you down; when did Truth ever let anyone down who saw it?

And your common sense will tell you, after only a short while thinking about it, that 'Truth' is no small thing.
