Angst 1
Angst is a German word for
fear. What makes it unique is that behind the word stands an intimate association
with guilt unto death. To have a dream and awaken from it with Angst is to have
experienced death from which awakening is a miracle of sorts. This is the same Angst
that has awakened the West and causes it to renew its old war with the East for
fear the East will survive it.
As this link to Plato http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/republic.9.viii.html
tells it: “... democracy, [which] is a
charming form of government, full of variety and disorder, and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.”
The Angst of this “charming form of
government” is that the dispensing of equality to unequals may create guilt
unto death. This motivates aggression in the ranks of oligarchs and their bureaucratic
supporters, who act as executioners for their more equal than others employers.
When Angst appears unannounced, it is
because 99% of the less than equal population, is rising like yeast in the fantasies
of the oligarchy that constitutes no more than .0001% of the population. While
the 99% wish to do no more than reclaim its lost God, it has to take that God
away from the party of oligarchs, which seized control of that God for its personal
use. While I have argued that the theft occurred as far back as a thousand
years ago following the Great Schism between the East and the West, the loss of
God to the 99% of Ludis now earns them the name of ‘terrorists’.
This is not to say that God has not been
seized at various other times in
cultures and societies where the monopolization of God by one or another party may
have gone unnoticed or was ignored. One such intermediary episode was when
Friedrich Nietzsche announced that “God died”:
“Once blasphemy against God was the
greatest blasphemy; but God died, and therewith also those blasphemers. To
blaspheme the earth is now the dreadfulest sin, …!” (Thus Spake Zarathustra, Prologue).
What Nietzsche failed to notice is that when God dies and
is replaced by Angst, the blaspheming of earth is not an improvement. Therefore,
Angst tends to resurrect Eastern Christianity as it existed before it was
squelched by the Christianity of the elites. This is an interesting phenomenon,
heretofore not given much attention by either Eastern or Western Christian
establishments, which define themselves by the frocks of their officials.
Apparently Eastern Christians had several episodes in
which God died. This likely occurred before the Eastern Orthodox Church
submitted to the dogmas of Western orthodoxy. One can deduce that Eastern
Christian Ludis then substituted God who died with the Devil. They did this
because they discovered that God as the Devil is better than no God at all.
Whatever his faults, the Devil gave humankind the strength to dissent from the
establishment, and fight for the restoration of such a God as had once been
worshipped by angels of which the Devil is said to have been one.
In effect, when God becomes the property of Pope Francis
of the Catholic Church, or Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church, an
early eastern Christian Sataniel (Saint + Yaniel/John) or Devil (Dev + velis =
God + his ghost), aka Johannmed (John + healer), the Devil succors the
dissident ‘Dev-vil’ in all of us. To the discomfort of orthodox believers and
unbelievers, the Devil arrives the momen God is claimed by a select group for
its exclusive possession.
Of course, we know that there are many fundamentalist
believers for whom the written word is more important than the spoken word, and
who will point to some passage in the Bible or New Testament and begin denouncing
Antichrist. Fortunately Antichrist arises only when God has been appropriated
by forces who prefer that He sits quietly not only on the throne, but on his
hands as well.
This brings up the question—when has a rebellion reached
a degree of energy sufficient to replace a stolen God with the Devil going
berserk?
To give but one answer would play into the hands of atheists
who wish God dead once and for all. This is why we need to have another look at
‘docetism’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docetism
of Eastern Christianity. Despite being denounced as ‘heretical’ by letter bound
Western Church, docetists continued to worship a ‘seeming’ incarnation of God,
which ‘seemingness’ they explained to be a consequence of the spoken word. As I
have already argued, a verbal culture is superior to a lettered culture by
virtue of its flexibility. A spoken word has many inflections, whereas the
written word may be inflected only by a priest or lawyer. According the Bogomil
(docetist) understanding of the Word, Christ was born when He descended from
heaven, passed through the right ear of the Virgin, and emerged in a bodily
form that was not a body but its mask.
In our time we know that the docetists were right,
because by virtue of a hologram, we are able to recreate a seemingly three
dimensional verbal beings, which have no physical body that we may grasp http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2773135/Has-Julian-Assange-broken-asylum-interview-U-S-Nope-s-just-hologram.html
