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)”.

Declaration of A Hunger Strike
The People as Fur Torn Off Its Flesh

“Catching fur” has not gone out of style yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck_WsJvAwDo . Humankind has declared Nature dangerous and appears to like it that way. Unless obliged to think, humankind prefers not to think. Perhaps only if modern society destroys itself, wildlife will again have a place on our planet. See a 300 year old wild apple tree in Latvia—showing thetear and wear of our times.

Please turn your head to view; lower branches torn off the trunk

But what if we were to think of human beings as hairless creatures, as de-furred animals? Strange as it may sound, I have not thought of myself or used the word ‘defurred’ when thinking of my appearance in the shower or bathtub. However, the other night, I had a strange dream: I saw a bunch of people naked, among whom were some political types who I knew by appearance, and one of them was myself.

I am not a political type in terms of being or wanting to be in political office.  I am a political type by inheritance:

Back around 1739, after Livonia had been devastated and its people demoralized by The Great Northern War (1700-1720), what was left of the German barons in the area realized that neither they nor anyone else would be able to survive without a moral reconstitution. The moral reconstitution they entrusted to Graf Zinzendorf (1700-1760), a Lutheran theologian, from the German region of Dresden, who gave shelter to a post-Hussite religious branch known at the time as Herrnhuters.

While the Herrnhuters receive little or no publicity in my native country of Latvia today, the Herrnhuters could trace their origins not only to the Jan Hus movement in Moravia, but through that movement could likely reach to the Catar movement of now French Languedoc, and through the Catars into the early Christian movement in the region of Bosnia, and then through Bulgaria to early Christian Byzantium. The Herrnhuters were contemporaries of such religious movements as led by Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772), a Swedish scientist and theologian, and Quakers, a religious society that calls itself The Society of Friends and began in England in the 1650s. The Quakers believed that there is something of the Divine in everybody (a common belief of many if not all religious movements of the time), which is why they did not have a clergy. Yet another religious movement was known as the Shakers. The group used dance as a means to achieve religious ecstasy, and, one of their dancing songs “SimpleGifts” [lyrics written by Joseph Brackett (1797-1882)] had lyrics, which in my opinion expressed the general mood prevalent in all the above mentioned movements, including the Herrnhuters.

'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free

'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed,
To turn, turn will be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.

Because of their “true simplicity” sans a clergy to dictate to them what it is, the Herrnhuters quickly gained the trust of the remainder of Livonia’s inhabitants, especially in the countryside on the border of what is now Estonia and Latvia. By not being ashamed “to bow and to bend…”, the Herrnhuters achieved not only a moral reconstituon, but a new identity for what we know as the Estonian and Latvian people today.

Unfortunately, there was a problem due to the movement’s survival and remaining active well into the post-Westphalian peace season. The root of the problem was that while the Peace Treaty ended a thirty year long (and longer) religious war, it gave the upper hand to the Catholic interpretation of Christianity, which was shared in by the Lutherans of Scandinavia and northern Germany. It was the latter who insisted on interjecting its clergy between the Herrnhuters and the reconstructed communities. The Herrnhuters were forced underground and gradually disappeared. Religion began to be decreed from above and outside of the community.

This as if separation of church and state, yet with the state having the greater say in how separated it would allow the people to become, has by the 21^st century created a nation where the State of Latvia has presumed itself to be the religion of the community and the sole representative of the people. The Lutheran clergy did not envisage any further debate if this separation were to be or not be a success.

In the twenty-five years that the ‘renewed’ state of Latvia (1990-…) has taken control of what used to be the territory of the ‘First State of Latvia’ (1918-1940), the people, who used to constitute the community of the nation, have been pushed (through the power given the state by the power to tax) aside by the leadership of the State to cause numerous disasters, which begin with the economy, continue throughout the educational system (by demoralizing both teachers and students) and cultural institutions (information is effectively under the control of state and business interests), and what may be called ‘soft genocide’, which due to a failed economy has forced a half a million inhabitants of Latvia (an accurate figure is unknown due to various government subterfuges) to seek employment abroad. While business exerts its influence and vision through advertising, the state achieves similar ends by keeping the discussions in the media to government leaders and its bureaucracy). One example of the methods employed by the government is the virtual supression of literature, which consists mostly of translations (much easier done than to create anew) and regurgitations of political and post-modernist cliches.

An even greater disaster befell the Latvian community when the so-called Latvian government succumbed to pressures of outside institutions such as the European Union and NATO, the latter which is placing on the territory of former Livonia tanks and boots, which is to exact a 2% increase in the tax levy next year and subject the community to further dissolution than presently achieved.

For the above stated reasons, I, E. Antons Benjamins, have begun a hunger strike to bring adequate discussion of the damage done to the nation and its sovereign status by the leadership of the ‘renewed’ Latvian state, to demand a lifting of taxation from the Latvian people living in the countryside, and to reconstitute the deconstructed (by business and military interests) Biosphere of northwestern Latvia (see map below) by giving it the status as its own region.

 
As to my credentials, I am the descendant of many generations of Herrnhuters, who gave the Latvian people their identity, among which my grandfather Antons Benjamiņš was a major contributor as founder and editor of a major newspaper (Jaunākās Ziņas) during the ‘First’ Latvian nation, I am 81 yrs old, a citizen of Latvia (11+20 yrs) and the United States of America (46 yrs), and lay claim to the First President of Latvia, Janis Čakste http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C4%81nis_%C4%8Cakste , who through his son Mintauts Čakste, was to become my godfather, which honor was given me in the undreamt event of an emergency situation such as Latvia is facing today due to government neglect of the Latvian  people and Latvia’s interests.

Western Civilization is impermeable. That is to say, it is a linear and perpetual false flag by virtue of its consequences, not only in one or a few instances (as in the Pearl Harbor and 9/11 events), but over centuries that extend over more than a thousand years. It serves the governments of our time, as witness the Ukraine events, which are nothing but a return of the so-called 4^th Crusade of 1204 in 2014, a distance of 810 years).

As I have argued in these blogs, there is one major event that provoked the war of 1204: the imposition of taxation and its adoption (due to its success in creating governments of power) by (eventually) all governments. In short, no government was ever defeated by a Revolution, the latter purely a delusion created by delusional change.

Of course, this is not to say that the event(s) were apparitions from nowhere, but were preceded by a period of developments, the extent of which we do not know, because of the view disseminated by most historians that 1) acceptance taxation by governments is many times older than, say, a thousand years; 2) that the war of 1204 and periods before were not followed by revolts, which in effect chased from the area of the Black Sea and the deltas of the Dnieper and Volga  rivers to the delta of the Rhine (the Benelux) the Franks, who were descendants of Vikings and their like; and 3) historians are not wedded to the lies of government, which historians, neither of this or then time, dared to contradict); and 5) that in spite of evident reasons for their corruption historians are not bedfellows of governments.

                                                                                 
There are some exceptions. For example, the Swiss historian Daniele Ganser , who has written extensively on Gladio, the deep government run by NATO in post-WW2 Europe; the American historian Bernard Lewis who has written extensively on the 9/11 cover-up; and the Russian mathematician Anatoly Fomenko, who has studied early European history and found it to be a matter of chronologicl shifts of certain historical events by a method of literary displacements such as, for example, the events of the Iliad and Odyssey , both attributed to Homer (8^th cent. BC), and  the Aeneid  by Virgil (1^st cent. BC), the Bible, and more. The parallels between the overlapping histories are not insignificant, but point to the likelihood that one historical event was used to overwrite another.

This raises the question of whether the numerous chronological shifts discovered by Fomenko  have not become so habitual that our current history is the last in a series, or that current events are concluding events of the last of a series. If the latter, then it is likely to end as WW3 beginning either in the Baltics * or Ukraine (part of Byzantium and Homer’s event). At least one researcher (Vinci) includes the Baltic area in the map  of Homer.

What is disastrous about government and history being bedfellows is that it presents a homosexual state of being as a ‘natural’ state of being that NO religion has objected to. NO HISTORIAN has dared draw conclusions and point out the consequences of a prolonged period of not telling the truth and creating truth as a Para reality. For example, NO HISTORIAN ==as far as I know—has pointed out that ‘democracy’ is a system of government that is a direct result of history as a lie. NO HISTORIAN has pointed out that the modern environment is a consequence of Nature superseded by the Unnatural. NO HISTORIAN has pointed out that the only place where democracy exists in the long term is the wood. NO HISTORIAN has pointed out that our present history is accepted because to contradict it meets either with complete silence or the barrel of a gun, which amounts to about the same thing.

NO HISTORIAN has pointed out that the many times lauded separation of state and religion without elimination or radical circumscription of the power of the state to tax—leads the state to acquire for itself religious authority as well, which is where our civilization finds itself at this time.

Russia has protested these actions by NATO as a threat to it and its citizens.

Because of incliment (cold) weather Mr. Benjamins is presently ill, which is why he is temporarily replacing the hunger strike with that of a fast as part of the Advent season. He is asking the citizens and ‘residents’ of Latvia, including the members of the Latvian Saeima, to join him in a prayer and a fast on behalf of the security of Latvia and its inhabitants.

Mr. Antons Benjamins (named after his grandfather) is the descendant of two well known editors of Latvia’s major newspaper (Jaunākās Ziņas—Latest News, 1911-1940). Janis Benjamins, the last editor in chief of the newspaper was arrested by the Sovied Cheka and was shot at Astrahan in 1942.

Mr. Benjamins (81) returned from living 46 years in the United States and has lived near twenty years in Latvia, near Burtnieku ezers, a well known lake in northern Latvia, in Braslavas precinct, where he occupies himself with writing, bloging,  and by helping needy neighbors in the tradition of his forebears Herrnhuters, now better known as the Moravian Church.

Jacques Lacan and Fearmongering in Latvia

Having stated in the previous blog that continuation of the Industrial Age is a non-starter not only for the undeveloped world, but also for all who developed in tandem with its rise to power (to the point where even after its zenith is obviously in the past tense), its advertising industry continues to fool most of the people of the world by projecting visions of travel in space.

With only 1 billion people in 1804 and today over 7 billion, of which more than a half live in poverty and most in absolute ignorance, how else could it be? Though Virgin Airlines’s Galactic spaceship crash signaled the proverbial synchronicity event, Sir Richard Branston, one of the moneyed elites among the 7 billion, promises to continue to be a savant of questionable intelligence and announces that he will construct another model. What a devotee of the gang of Positivist religious!

This brings me to the periphery of hegemony of the Industrial Age, the small country of Latvia, one of Western Europe’s easternmost borderlands, and arguably a country of political leaders=savants of questionable integrity. Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Latvia was believed by many Soviet people to be among its most progressive Soviets.

Latvia was renewed as an ‘independent’ country (whatever that means) in 1990  and is now in its 24^th  year as an allegedly independent, but not sovereign nation of ‘residents’ as the link notes. The main cause of its renewed state is the United States of America in military alliance with Western European countries through the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). While at the time of renewal, Latvia became a state within the community of Western nations, it was understood (at least by some of the Russian leaders) that NATO would not press its borders closer the Russia, but leave Latvia remain a state that separates Russia from the EU, in effect a sort of Switzerland.

This was not to be however, and NATO has used the ‘resident’ status of Latvia’s residents and pressed ever closer to the borders of Russia in a maneuver known as expanding ‘encirclement’. Having created an international crisis between western nations and Russia by way of the Ukraine and a series of encircling movements, the U.S. , NATO tanks and boots are today in Latvia. While many of the Latvian people do not support the maneuver by their government, the Latvian government throughout said 23 years has waged what Paul Virilio calls ‘endo-colonization’ of Latvias civil society, using fear mongering (see min.: 22-25, 47-48, 53-55) to justify a later occupation of Latvia by armed NATO troops and raise the money (2% of GNP in a destitute country) to pay for the occupation and hardware. Fittingly, the name of the Latvian Defense Minister is Vējonis, re: Windy John.

One example of media manipulation in Latvia’s region of Latgale from a recent newspaper article [Diena (Day) 11.11.2014], is a busy body local official who claims without presenting evidence that Russian agitators near Latvia’s Russian border are distributing literature and rumours. Whereas another official states (my translation):

“….In turn in Zilupe the vice-chairman of local government Vitalys Valdens (Party of Cooperation) komments on the security issue in expressive terms: ‘Why such disinformation about our precinct? All youths here speak perfect Latvian, and among us are great Latvian patriots. Most people here are preoccupied with making ends meet; no one has time to sign foolish (petitions)’….

”….The Security Police makes no comments about its operations in Latgale, but invite the inhabitants to speak up about activities, which are meant to compromise Latvia’s territorial integrity or constitutional government.”

In effect, the Latvians, once said to be the rulers of their country have not become identified with the ‘object petit a’ of Lacan , i.e., the Latvian government  is in effect using Lacanian methods against the Latvian people to become their “unattainable object” by means of confusing the state with its fearmongering leadership, which keeps fleeing from Latvia as a sovereign state to the empty airs of the EU located in Brussels. Re: “In the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, objet petit a ("object little-a") stands for the unattainable object of desire. It is sometimes called the object cause of desire. Lacan always insisted that the term should remain untranslated, "thus acquiring the status of an algebraic sign" (Écrits)..

Nakedness = Flesh Torn of Its Fur
© Translation Eso A.B.

“Catching fur” has not gone out of style yet http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck_WsJvAwDo . Man has made Nature dangerous and appears to like it that way. Unless challenged to think, man prefers not to think. Perhaps only when modern society destroys itself totally, will wildlife have a place on our planet.

But what if we were to think of human beings, essentially hairless creatures, as de-furred animals? Strange as it may sound, I have not thought of myself or ever used the word ‘de-furred’ when thinking of my appearance in the shower or bathtub. However, the other night, I had a strange dream: I saw a bunch of people, all politicians, at a beach resort, all naked, among whom were some who I knew, and one of who was me.

No, I am not a politician, except that I have a keen interest of why human society is, for lack of better words, screwed up; and as those who read my blogs know, I trace back to a misleading history of over a thousand years old, the evidence for which we have before our eyes almost every day. The not so unexpected culprit is the government of almost any country, the leaders being the hegemonic powers or those with potential to become such.

In any case, back to the de-furred animals of my dream. An actual de-furred animal if pictured would be a bloody carcass, something of an awful and objectionable sight. At least my dream found the de-furred politicians an intolerable sight. The way the dream got around the problem was to switch the dreamer (me) from looking at a carcass to having the carcass of the de-furred human beings being eaten raw and bloody. Well, this was not any less objectionable, so I dreamt that the de-furred humans were kissing animals as when dogs lick the faces of their masters, but their saliva is menstrual blood.

The dream ended there and woke me up with the above several images telescoped into one unpleasant image-sensation. Nevertheless, it led me to immediately connect the above with the idea of human sexuality, specifically ‘French kissing’, an act in which two lovers entwine their tongues, sometimes leaving same to reach into the mouth of the other as deeply as the tongue can reach. Inevitably, in real life such kissing soon leads to the act of joining sexual organs, which, as the Shaker song tells, we come down where we ought to be: “…in the valley of love and delight.” And more: “When true simplicity is gained,/ To bow and to bend we shan’t be ashamed….”

I am not saying that de-furring is at the basis of sexuality, but that the evolutionary process that led humans to losing their fur and become exposed to the elements, led in time to repression of sexuality (sin, the covering or masking of the sexual organs) and to violence. Whether this was because we originate in water (as some claim http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/apr/27/aquatic-ape-theory-primate-evolution ) or is the result of a synchronistic gene mimicking the Jungian scarab, I do not know.

This raises the possibility that the color of human skin is not as the Wikepedia statement, which re: “Melanin is produced within the skin in cells called melanocytes and it is the main determinant of the skin color of darker-skinned humans….”, but  is caused by a profound psychic disturbance that over time changes from blood color to dark black as a matter of evolution: dark skin camouflages the loss of body hair.

This sums up my view that our contemporary age is about a thousand years of duration, which began with deforestation (a kind of de-furring of the globe), which ‘naturally’ led to de-furment and de-animalizationment of ‘life’ on this planet. I believe our time to be a non-starter. The evolutionary process (with marked acceleration following the Industrial age), is a violent dream that tries cover up its violence by masking it as catholic and globalized  Christian love, which has currently succumbed to what we call Positivism https://www.google.lv/?gws_rd=ssl#q=meaning+of+positivism . As item 1. states, positivism is: “a philosophical system recognizing only that which can be scientifically verified or which is capable of logical or mathematical proof, and therefore rejecting metaphysics and theism.”

Like it or not, this makes me a theist (or to use a much older term, a Bogomil) if only because I strongly distrust science teachers and the governments that enforce their views. I see the current age as but a replacement of one sort of clergy for another. By the way, Bogomil does not mean as one of the links translates the word, ‘dear to God’, but ‘lover of God’==possibly out of a necessity to die to short-circuit the trend.

As our age comes to a close, I believe that we will make (possibly by means of great violence) a transit back to the Age of the Wood or Water, where de-furred animals originated, and where he-she can practice the only kind of government meant for humankind: self-government. As mentioned before, the wood is where the office of King returns to a state where God is Mind and human beings do not fear death, because the Mind is to be found in the ant and the ameba as well as ‘re-furred’ human beings. No doubt, ‘re-furring’ ourselves means that we again become cognizant of the meaning of sacrifice, which replaces our age of slaughter.

Placebo Loses Her Charm

In the opinion of this blogger, the ‘placebo effect’ (a lie objectified) as it is used today has become subject to deterministic philosophy of our dead-end culture. Every time we read that the placebo effect works 20% of the time at the time the lie is implanted in the ‘patient’ (a polite medical term for one who is treated really a ‘zombie’), we participate in a consciously developed consciousness that is conscious of its deeds 20% of the time. This, in effect, describes our ‘human’ civilization in the 21^st century rather well.

Who can imagine that the President of the United States, one Obama, does not believe himself to be ‘right’ 80% of the time he makes a command decision (such as taking the law into his own hands)? For the sake of being a ‘nice’ fellow, he and his court give us, the ludis or zombies (the term ‘people’, ‘narod’, ‘gente’ and other like names descriptive of humankind as a whole have become meaningless). Add to this degraded kind of consciousness the consciousness of the leaderships of our political world—what else are the ludis if not stark naked humankind?

The blogs immediately preceding this attempt to show how the capture and monopolization of violence by a select body of men, or, if you will, the masculinization (gendarminization) of the feminine psyche inherent in Nature by a minority element of, say, 20%, which element secured its position through the institution of taxation (beginning with the ‘fur tax’),

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/74/Bendprotest.jpg and as the link above illustrates killing our nakedness.

But what if the 20% of so-called libido actually constitutes 80% of consciousness?

Psychologists, at least since the Frech psychiatrist Jacques Lacan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objet_petit_a , introdued ‘objet petit a’ (1957), have their own ‘quantum’ model. Without ‘objet petit a’, psychology remains a two dimensional model of the human mind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkAXsR5WINc . Lacan envisages how a particle (my name) makes a quantum jump via pareidolia to the subjective nature of language as a whole (a wave), whereby my ego particle becomes simultaneous with the Ghost of a wave.

Before I go on, this is the place to remind ourselves that the word ‘placebo’ is said to originate from the Latin for I shall please.^[3] It is found in Latin text in the Bible (Psalm 116:9, Vulgate version by Jerome, “Placebo Domino in regione vivorum”, “I shall please the Lord in the land of the living”) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placebo_in_history . Jerome translated as "I shall please" (placebo), the Hebrew word "ethalech", "I shall walk with" as in "I shall be in step with". Of course, we may also visualize the word in the English verb ‘to place’, re: I shall place before you on Thanksgiving Day all you desire to eat, all that that pleases you: a turkey, filling, squash, cranberry sauce, apple cider, and if you desire—after the meal, we will go and embrace in bed.

In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (14^th century), Placebo is the name of the sycophantic brother January in The Merchant's tale (see right hand column) http://www.librarius.com/canttran/merchtal/merchtale307-353.htm . In other words, the month of June or John has been replaced by the month of January (sycophant) for reasons of Catholic Christian piety. Sequantially seaking, June the younger  brother, warns his older brother January, to beware of younger women or a young wife, who takes greater plesure in June than in January and has demands January may not meet.

Saul, the apostle (Acts 9, 22, 26), a self-confessed Hebrew http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkAXsR5WINc , was a Roman citizen (likely from Byzantium, who just as likely gained his name Paul when in service of the Emperor’s army), who while persecuting the Christians of the Sun (proto-Catholic Christianity), suffers, while on his way to Damascus, what we know as a ‘sunstroke’ and goes blind. While Biblical and non-biblical scholars twist themselves into knots trying to figure out the event, the ‘conversion’ by sunstroke likely reflects a near death experience. The name Saul< Paul, was most likely changed to Peter after Paul was executed by the Byzantine Roman Emperor for treason. Since apostle Peter, too, was executed by the Romans, but for a different reason (rejecting Roman law, rather than acting against it), it was quite natural to later change Paul’s name to Peter. These events likely occurred during the time that the fur tax was instituted (9-14^th cent.), as—we note==Peter stayed with Simon a tanner; something that apostle Paul was more likely to do. This if we presume that apostle Peter was connected to proto-Catholic Christianity rather than to the time when this form of Christianity was repressed.

When the name of the Sun was changed from ‘Sonne’ (German, feminine gender) to ‘Saul’ (masculine gender) and thereby from an object adored from distance to one adored as a physically installed King (also  referred to as the ‘sun king’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XIV_of_France ), there began a long (‘historical’) era of barbarization of government.

It is a synchronistic element worth noting that the name ‘Louis’ in the ‘sun king’s’ name is a reference to the name ‘Ludi’, which name at the beginning of the era of government by barbarization was a name that stood for the name of the People, re: Ludi. It is doubly interesting that the era of the physical ‘sun king’ was brought to an end by the Ludi getting together and doing a Revolution==as in the French Revolution, which ended with Louis loosing his hed to a guillotine and the institutionalization of ‘Femocracy’, which, as we now see, was then and is now an impossible form of government.

It may be worth while to remind the reader of the beginning of the era of the ‘King’ as government.

I have argued that when our planet was still largely covered by wood and such plains as naturally rose from lands unfit to support a wood, most people lived either in the wood or at the edge of the wood. Since the only way to cover distance in those days was by foot, many human dwellings arose along the edges of rivers, lakes, or seas, where water facilitated a faster, if riskier, form of transportation and movement. This enhanced form of transportation, however, did not mean that all ludis’s used it, but was largely confined to males, who due to their physical characteristics were best fit for such an exercise.

The majority of ludis’s continued to live in the wood or at its edge (be it field or river). This confinement to relative immobility facilitated, in its turn, the human imagination to turn inward. For example, when the ‘rovers’ returned from a trip from a village up river with tales that somewhere at either the beginning or the end of the river, there was a site (city) nigh indescribable in magnificence, the people in situ (in place)  began to have visions of no lesser magnificence than the English poet Cooleridge had after he had smoked some opium and wrote his famous poem “Kubla Khan” (the Great John). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubla_Khan : “In Xanadu did Kubla Khan himself a stately pleasure dome decree….”

In that long ago era of Kubla Khan, the King had only an imaginary existence. His physical existence took a long time in developing, with its intermediary phase beginning with the issuance by King John at Runnymede of the Magna Carta and end phase arriving with Louis XIV of France. Nevertheless, the Chan’s imaginary existence is, in fact, the first form of human government and the ground on which the idea of God is imagined and founded.

In those days as the Sun (feminine gender), re: Heo, or possibly Eo (?El) or Io. Indeed, this reminds me of my college class in Old English, from which I now remember only one phrase: “Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum…” (Our Father who art in Heaven). Let us note that the word for Heaven (heo-fon-um) begins with Heo, (Sun) and ends with fon (Moon) = Heofon, and the suffix ‘um’. In effect, heaven is as yet the realm of the Sun and the Moon, while God is not yet a physical being except as my, your, our ‘father’ yet to be born.

As I have already noted (blog 448), the ‘force’ that forced the Sun=Saule to abdicate to be replaced by Saul, is the institution of the fur tax, which defined ‘force’ as the physical removal (by wripping) of an animal’s skin off its back and the removal from the Sun of its ‘shine’ to be used as a halo over the heads of a conglomeration of heads of government, who t ‘legitimized’ themselves by creating in the midst of the wood, the desert, aka the city, and in the desert of the city thinking=up (?imagining) Democracy, which replaces the feudal lords with individual rights.

Before I end this blog, it is worth remembering that Louis XIV centralized government (eliminated the feudal subset http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudalism of rulers) and created himself as a more or less physical God. This fact, shortly brought about the Revolution, which broke down the ‘feudal’ system of nobles http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/feudalism into ‘individualist’ segments. Today we are witness to a like act of self-glorification by means of centralization and globalization by a U.S. a President sans charisma—Obama.

An excellent summary of the actions of Obama can be seen and heard reported by David Knight, re: ‘Obama's Amnesty by Royal Decree’. I watched the program on 25 November, 2014.
