A chorus is a group of singers or speakers, which the longer the group exists becomes ever more like that of a single body or a community.

This was something well known by my forebears who reconstructed the war torn social fabric of what was once known as Livonia. Indeed, their restitution and healing was so successful that out of their effort, there emerged in the course of time two separate countries: Estonia and Latvia.

Today, however, the two states are falling apart and crumbling, and no one seems to be able to put Humpty Dumpty together again. Why? What has changed? The 18^th and 19^th centuries were after all still horse and buggy days, whereas today we live not only in the machine age, but the machine rules almost over everything, and is being superseded by the electron and talk goes of a coming age of quantum computers.

The answer is a simple one: Today the states are so centralized and powerful that they cannot envisage ‘running’ a country any other than from the top or from the top down as we say.

If so, did not the Herrnhuters (my forebears) do something wrong? Well, yes, they did. They passed their power and authority to the Lutherans, a ‘reformed’ branch of globalizing Catholic theology. Because they did not believe in violent opposition, but were willing to submit like lambs. The latter according to the teaching of Matthew 10:16 http://biblehub.com/matthew/10-16.htm : “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as doves….” When the Lutheran clergy pressed the Herrnhuters to vacate their places for the orthodox church, the Herrnhuters withdrew. Of course, some did act shrewdly. My grandfather was one of them. He withdrew from teaching and went into newspapering and hit it big. By way of England, America, and then Russia, they brought to Latvia the penny newspaper concept, which necessarily made the newspaper the vehicle of advertising.

But such individual successes did not manage to keep the values of my grandfather’s predecessors intact. In a few words, the old values argued that there should not stand some other between man, woman and God. An absolute and non-thinking dogma of non-violence retreated meekly when it should have found ways to repell the orthodox attacks. Unfortunately, the means were not discovered.

Yet such means of non=violence exist, as I have argued some hundred blogs or more in the past, where I translate ‘non-violence’ to really carry the meaning of ‘not-violence’. What distinguishes the two words is that ‘not-violence’ defines violence as non-violence against others, but reserves it for itself as a tool of self-sacrifice on behalf of one’s own. Indeed, one Latvian historian, Kaspars Klavins has argued in his book “apSTĀVĒŠANA” that the descendants of Latvian Herrnhuters were noted for their ability to sacrifice themselves for their fellows, when they participated in rebellions against their German overlords.

The concept of not-violence was removed from the values of the Catholic Christian Church, probably due to pressures from secular rulers, just as same had forced some early Eastern  Christians to reject community practices when coming face to face with taxation.  This resulted in power and authority passing to secular parties, who then founded a separate Western tax supporting Church.

Examples of not-violent Gods begin with the Christian God Jesus (and/or John Basil) and reach far far back in time, among the latter which is the Aztec God Nanahuatzin (see previous blog), who due to his self-sacrifice not only came from the ranks of the humblest of gods to become the Sun Itself. In any case, while the doctrine of not-violence existed implicitly in the Herrnhuter teachings, they failed to remember the act of their founders (John and/or Jesus) as they died in a fire pit or on the cross.

The Catholic and Globalist teachings against violence are a matter of dogma today, and are reflected in most Western liberal countries rejecting the death sentence. Given that the elites and government leaders today do not sacrifice themselves, but have been effectively removed from the ranks of common soldiers who must die on orders of their orders, I concur with reservations. That reservation states that it is the leadership that must exercise obligatory self-sacrifice if humankind is to achieve for non-violence a place in the Sun.

My reversal of government imposed values follows ancient theology found in many myths, where it is not only the King who dies, but also where God sacrifices Himself, when he rejects his own prayer by responding to it with an autodictat: "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it."

The Only Revolution: Prayer
© Translation Eso A.B.

NO HISTORIAN has pointed out that the so-called ‘Revolutions’, for the most part imagined as the French, Russian, and Chinese REVOLUTIONS did not in effectively change anything, though they did for a time redistribute the old wealth patterns. Still, they created new wealth patterns more or less resembling the previous pattern. In effect, the ‘Revolution’ did not revolve in any true sense of the word.

Why did Revolutions not change anything for the long term?

When a child, I remember learning a ditty from the well known German poet Goethe: “Der Zauberlehrling”==The Magician’s Apprentice . The class was asked to memorize the poem, which, unfortunately, I have forgotten, except for the the magic incantation:

Walle! walle
Manche Strecke,
daß, zum Zwecke,
Wasser fließe
und mit reichem, vollem Schwalle
zu dem Bade  sich ergieße.

The story of the poem is that of an apprentice to a magician deciding to use the little knowledge he has—in the absence of the master—to try imitate the master’s magic without knowing how to undo what he has started. Walt Disney  and many others have used the story to their own (mostly commercial) ends. A variation on the story is found as far back as the ancient Indian Mahabharata.

When analyzed in the context of my argument, it leads to the conclusion that our Western-Global Civilization is an apprentice who is out of control and causing events that lead to the End of the World.

Is the Master Magician. i.e. God, ever going to return home?

Answer: Maybe he will, and maybe he will not. It depends on whether the apprentice decides to PRAY for the Master’s return. Yes, fold his palms and PRAY.

So, why is prayer important, when our ‘realist’ teachers are teaching that it NEVER WORKS?

In attempting to answer, we get entangled with what in our time is known as the ‘Quantum Theory’. As the link explains: “He [Max Planck] found that by making the assumption that energy existed in individual units in the same way that matter does, rather than just as a constant electromagnetic wave - as had been formerly assumed - and was therefore quantifiable, he could find the answer to his question.”

Prayer assumes that what is being prayed for is QUANTIFIABLE, which is to say, a prayer for ‘a matter’ may be answered if the ‘matter’ is not presumed to be a continuous wave based on the presumptions of an apprentice, who almost inevitably comes to presume himself to be God. This is what I mean by ‘pareidolia’ (my way of finding connection or entanglements), which as I see it is the echo effect of one word as meaning expressed in a cluster of words and does not pretend to swallow an entire language or universe.

The prayer as taught to Christians by Jesus is pretty much summed up in Luke11 and Matthew 8:25 (“You of little faith, why are you so afraid?”). I have no objections to the quotes, as it does not involve prayer for an increase in government taxes, but applies to a cluster of people (his disciples) or a community. It is not a prayer to benefit me alone.

So, the Apprentice Magicians of today are the Levithans: the U.S., NATO, Russia, China, and everyone who has or has been infected by the expansionist attitude either toward today or tomorrow.

The only problem with the theory is that it did not work for John Basil, the Bogomil physician, whom Alexis I, the emperor of Byzantium threw into a raging pit of fire, or Jesus at the Garden of Getsemani, or for the Aztec God  Nanahuatzin  who jumped into a fire pit to either cause the Sun to rise or himself become the Sun God.

John Basil was clearly troubled when forced by Alexis to face the raging flames. His walk slowed and he slapped his thighs and sides. For all three Gods, the words of Jesus at Getsemani sum it up best: He said: "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it." Then, a little while later, He said, "If this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, yours will be done!" (Matthew 26:42)”.
