Anyone that studies the philosophical and religious ideas of Man, from our present-day position of having so much access to historical material and written texts and their translations - may at some point become disillusioned that anyone ever did 'work things out' at all, really.
And this despite history showing at various phases, movements of people who all gravitated around certain particular conceptions - thinking these or believing them, to be 'real and true.'
A relatively simple lifestyle... |
Arguably though, we have ourselves recently lost the best vantage point for any such wider study, because the internet both atomizes people into special interest groups with inherent biases, as well as deprives everyone from actual access to libraries of actual texts. What we have are algorithms deciding what 'texts' or mostly though, which commentaries one may scan to decide whether to look into them further - leaving out what is really there in existence, as some kind of beneath-the-algorithmic-undergrowth mystery.
It is no stretch to tie the CCP Beijing people to places like Indonesia's 'Ring of Fire,' and to Tonga where they exert great influence via money, and then when you add into the mix stories about intense nuclear fusion reactors - the majority of CIA analysts will most certainly quickly reach the wrong conclusion that China has its own version of the HAARP Program and that it is using it. You might even find some 'discreet rumor-mongering' begin to go on in the general media against the CCP Beijing China people recklessly experimenting with advanced technology.
But even so, why?
Why not though, right? You have the technology, so you use it.
We've talked about 'something' going deep into the phreatic wells referred to in vulcanology, and developing the conditions for massive unexpected eruptions and then exploiting the water vapor and particulate matter rising columns in the atmosphere with static electricity discharges on massive scales to interfere with the ionosphere's rain-bearing cloud formation normal patterns.
Like Miguelito Loveless's 'Wizard Who Shook The Earth' or Meyer Dolinsky's 'Plato's Stepchildren' - anyone at the top of a super-powerful empire with all the resources nation-states have, and the (hypothesized) technology required, could easily 'shake the world.'
DJ Nuno from Lisbon blaming me (lol)
So what's this all about though, really...
Firstly, it's impossible to explain here.
Theoretically, if a handful of studious people were inside a well-appointed lecture theater and had the patience and the time, maybe -, all the fundamentals could be covered.
Structurally, one would be required to be firmly convinced first, of some key matters.
Otherwise you're never going to see the conclusion.
You need to accept that there is such a thing as actual human suffering, actual pain, actual hurt and harm, actual villainy, actual intentional wickedness - and that the human condition is not all wine-and-roses and that those who try to say that it is, provided that... (so-and-so whatever conditionality they are vending), are indulging in toxic positivity.
But you also need to perceive that there is an absolutely vast and complete spectrum of other things as well. It's the existential fact of the both things, that will get you to the functioning reality and to the functional reality that you have power over.
The Arabic philosopher Iamblichus, getting around in his chariot, and thinking philosophical thoughts from his simple vantage point. |
You see, too many times in the admittedly great works (within limitations) of great people - as people go - their own position in human society has determined the spin they are allowing to go in in their own minds.
The historical Arabic writer Iamblichus (245 AD to 325 AD) is one such example. He was from a very wealthy family and he lived a very wealthy life. Now on the one hand that gave him the necessary luxury of time to think about things, but on the other hand, he cannot get away from the perspective his own social standing has forced onto him.
...He is not a homeless street-person.
He is not facing the pressure of solving how he will get his next means of immediate survival.
And so he imputes onto the Cosmos, the same idyllic framework for 'why' that he has the accidental luxury of actually living in himself.
Why it does what it does in the ways that it does them.
'It.' Although Iamblichus means 'them' - because he has posited in the running of the Cosmos a whole array of gods and demi-gods and all kinds of other beings too.
He's not really all that much different to Swedenborg.
I mean I will try and point out a direction in which a more accurate and correct explanation lies.
And it is in the Norse narratives on the Existential Cosmos. There, we can hear about the Norn Sisters - Urdr, Verdandi, and Skuld.
See the thing is, going back to acceptance of the existential reality of intentional harm - 'Urdr' has a catalog of that. Verdandi has a live-stream of everything that is, going on.
And Skuld points the direction to the future, based on the necessary settling up (things that should be; morally, and because of Justice) of old scores.
Every mythology on the planet, posits some 'leading actor' position, some role, some 'ruler,' some throne - and from which throne all power proceeds.
Ragnarok is over - I invite whoever's left to some slow-cooked beef soup. |
In the case of the Norse narratives, Odin is no longer there, because of the Ragnarok - the Twilight of the Gods, and the destruction of most of them. This is told to Odin by a Volva (female seer) and but then though - how does the writer come to know of the story unless all the events have already transpired?
Ragnarok is over.
Ragnarok was caused by Loki revealing all of the 'sins' of the gods to them all as a gathered group and they ending up bickering and fighting among themselves on account of the 'evening up of scores' then until finally they are all so split apart that Loki takes advantage of their weakened state as a group and releases primal monsters that had previously been chained up.
And then mostly, everyone dies.
The Throne is Empty.
...This piece of music takes a good four or five listening-to's before someone arriving at it new will 'get it.'
And you might be at the present moment, in not quite the frame of mind to absorb the placid pacing, the calmness, the inherent resolution. You might be searching for quick, even instant solutions to very difficult and pressing material problems in your life.
I wonder how many people are going to make the 'intellectual leap' from the ending of the Ragnarok and the implications of the Norns.
