Believe I Must

I gave myself a chance to believe

Believe I must

That the world I live in would succeed

Succeed I must

Did not think I would want to deceive

Conceal I must

Did not think I would trust to receive

Protect I must

Must I now achieve

Love I must

A life that entrusts my needs

I gave myself a chance to doubt

Think I must

In trust we only sometimes find clout

Feel I must

A time for me to shout

Reveal I must

The grimace of my sullen pout

I gave myself a call to take

Live I must

In the hearts of others a wish I make

Dream I must

Together a journey we stake

Die I must

A promise I cannot fake

The Motives of Persecution: Power

 

 

The simple truth is that the beliefs I hold today are just as dangerous as the beliefs held by people who were persecuted in earlier eras and I predict that the imminent attacks upon me will be astoundingly similar in tacit and logic despite the nature and content of my thoughts are different.  The similarity of the logical arguments against you are always the same when a powerful adversary tries to diminish and control your thought, diminish and control your impact on others, or in the extreme cases, end your life.  Look behind the curtains for the men responsible for killing our beloved leaders not wishing to do the biding of their masters.

You need only to control the leadership of a nation, to control the masses below them to do what you ask of them to do.

Examples of historical religious and non-religious persecutions have reigned over the planet since the birth of cultures:

  • The early Christian persecutions from the Roman empire
  • Ironically the scientific persecution of Copernicus, Galileo, and others by the Vatican
  • The persecution of modern archeologists that find anomalous data outside the realm of Darwin’s theories are subjected to career suicide within the ivory towers
  • The persecutions of citizens from Stalin to Hitler
  • Charlemagne’s pagan persecution
  • Constantine’s persecution of Hellenites
  • Martin Luther’s anti-Semitism
  • The Salem Witchcraft Trials
  • The erosion of the US Constitution and the leadership allegations upon its citizenry labeled as domestic terrorists

As you can see, religious persecution is nothing more than an oppressive act.  If it were meant for all people to believe the same things…would we not have been created with the same brains?  How long will it take for those in positions of power to understand that eventually the subjects of their oppression will grow tired of being victimized?  How long will it take those being victimized to find a way to break free?

For so long, so many people have been robbed of so many freedoms.  If one man wasn’t better than another because of the color of his skin; can he be better than him because of his faith?  There are two themes that seem to be prevalent in almost every religion known to man; love and peace. How much peace can there be if one man can’t love another, simply based on which or how many God’s they serve? Is anyone’s God really happy with their behavior towards another human being? Most of all, does anyone really believe they’re guaranteeing their place in their faith’s Eden by exhibiting what can clearly be called hatred?

Religious persecution is a common occurrence in the history of man.  Being abused, mistreated or even killed for having a difference in religious beliefs, connections or lack of them, is all too common; even in many lands today.  One’s religious views can be seen as a direct extension of their moral fiber.  When it comes to some cultures, this can become a significant issue.

Many things can result in religious persecution, especially in lands where the State imposes its views on citizens.  Anyone bold enough to publicize their opposing views is often criticized, shunned and even viewed as a threat to that States security.  Socially, demeaning the religious view of any group can lead to violent uprisings, at the least. Unfortunately, the violence that religious persecution has led to in many lands has become so bad that it can be referred to as a human rights issue.

The persecution of Christians began almost immediately after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension.  The Jewish leaders persecuted the Christians because they claimed Jesus was God the Messiah.  The leaders refused to accept that a carpenter from Nazareth was their long-awaited King.  A young Jewish scholar known as Saul of Tarsus orchestrated one of the most severe persecutions of Christians. He held the cloaks of those who stoned Stephen, the first Christian martyr (Acts 7:54–60).  Saul of Tarsus later became known as the apostle Paul who was converted to Christianity while traveling to Damascus to persecute the Christians who were hiding there.

From Nero to Domitian
Nero’s persecution of the early Christians pales in comparison to what they experienced during the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian (ca. A.D. 95).  Then, for more than a century, the Roman emperors committed heinous acts against the Christians, ranging from the cruel to the horrific. They burned their biblical books; exiled and imprisoned them; confiscated their property; sentenced them to work in the mines (which meant almost certain death); pitched them in tar and set them on fire; butchered them and fed them to wild beasts; and crucified them.
The early Christians knew that they could be put to death for possessing Scripture. This didn’t frighten them, but they obviously had an interest in hiding the biblical books. Because of this, the early church researched and investigated the Bible canon once again.
Persecutions Ended by Constantine
The persecution finally ended when the Roman Emperor Constantine became a Christian. He issued the Edict of Milan in A.D. 313, which allowed the church to collect and reaffirm their Scriptures once again. With the persecutions behind them, the church, through councils, debates, and writings, concentrated on the authenticity of their biblical canon.

 

 

What is interesting is that today we find a resurgence in the Christian persecutions, but this time it is the scientific reversal from that earlier age.  Now Christianity is under attack not only by the largely corrupted Darwinian scientific community, but it is also under attack from within our own nation from the secular realms.  The object of disenfranchisement is to create a problem for there to be a solution.  A solution that has been certified by them for the approval of a world consensus.   If we strip the values of a country from the people, if we degrade the educational systems, if we seize ownership and nationalize the free market industries,  if we funnel the mass media news information through fewer corporate lenses that are owned by the very powerful, then a picture emerges if looked at carefully.  The dumbing down of American schools has been underway for decades from “No child left behind” to “Common core” practices.  Test results over the last century have unequivocally proven this statement.  Shutting down a once free thinking society by injecting disinformation, and misinformation to confuse them along with seizing the internet under so called “net neutrality” laws will continue to sequester the free speech and information that the propagandists have initiated and segregated.  The reasons our politicians work toward dismantling the current regime is so that their masters can begin another one.

Two Views of History

There are two fundamental ways to view history.  We call one the catastrophic or accidental view of history. We call the other view the conspiratorial view of history.

Accidental History

In the catastrophic or accidental view of history we are led to believe that historical events, such as wars and revolutions were the direct result of some sudden or surprising event.  While the catastrophic view is accurate for weather, volcanoes and earthquakes, it does not always provide a realistic view of humanity and events influenced by man.

Young, malleable American and other Western minds are sadly taught the Accidental view of history in the government school systems.  This view is reinforced throughout their lives by the controlled mass media.  As a result, when most discover the Conspiratorial View of History, the immediate reaction is shock, disbelief and a refusal to accept something other than they’ve been taught to believe.

Conspiratorial History

Conspiratorial history studies that part of history that is a product of man’s planning. In conspiratorial history we are led to believe that events, such as wars and revolutions, are the result of planned events.  While the conspiratorial view is not accurate for weather, volcanoes and earthquakes, it is a realistic and accurate view of the interrelationship of man and nations.  Since the planning for most of these events was done in secret, we use the term conspiratorial history.  That is; this history is the result of plans constructed in secret, which by definition is a conspiracy.

Interestingly enough, the Conspiratorial View of History is also the Biblical View of History.  Try Psalms 2 for starters.*

I believe that current world events are not simply circumstantial, but the result of an organized campaign by an elite group of unseen and widely unknown world leaders. Their goal is to exercise absolute dictatorial control over the world, to establish a New World Order.

The Cause of War

Wars start when one nation moves into the territory of another; depressions occur when markets take unexpected downturns; inflations occur when prices are driven up by shortages; revolutions start when the people, always spontaneously, rise up to overthrow the existing government.

These are the traditional explanations of historical events.  Events happen by accident; there do not seem to be any causes.

But this explanation of history leaves gnawing questions in the minds of serious students.  Is it possible that government leaders and others planned these events and then orchestrated them to their desired conclusions?  Is it possible that even the great catastrophes of history were part of this plan?

There is an explanation of historical events that answers these questions in the affirmative. It is called the Conspiratorial View of History and it is the alternative to the Accidental View, the view that is commonly held today.  It is possible, therefore, to summarize the major events of history into two alternative schools of thought:

The Accidental View of History:

Historical events occur by accident, for no clear reason. Rulers are powerless to intervene.

The Conspiratorial View of History:

Historical events occur by design for reasons that are not generally made known to the public, but are well-known to those in power at the time.

Franklin D. Roosevelt who certainly saw many monumental events occur during his consecutive administrations has been quoted as saying: “In politics, nothing happens by accident.  If it happens, it was planned that way.”

If harmful events are planned, it follows that the people who were about to suffer through the scheduled event would act to prevent the event from occurring if they knew about it in advance. The people expect government to protect them from harmful events.

But if the events still occur after the government officials had been expected to prevent them, the government officials have failed in their assigned duties. There are only two explanations as to why they failed:

  1. The events overwhelmed them, and could not have been prevented; or
  2. The events were allowed to occur because the officials wanted them to occur.

It is difficult for the casual observer to believe that World War I and World War II could not have been prevented, as humane people of conscience do not allow harmful events to occur.

If a planned and unwanted event is allowed to happen, those who planned the event would have to have acted in secret so as to prevent discovery of their plans by those who would be adversely affected.

Planners working in secret to plan an event that the people do not wish to occur are, by definition, members of a conspiracy. Webster’s defines conspiracy as a “combination of people, working in secret, for an evil or unlawful purpose.”

Not only must the Conspirators work in secret, they must make every effort to make sure that their plans are not made public. The first task of a conspiracy, then, becomes that of convincing the people that the conspiracy itself does not exist.

This makes the task of uncovering the machinations of the conspiracy all the more difficult.

Conspiracies Exposed

There are three ways of exposing a Conspiracy:

  1. One is for any of the participants in the conspiracy to break with it and to expose his or her involvement. This takes an extremely courageous individual, and that type of exposure is indeed rare.
  2. The second group of exposers are those who have unknowingly participated in a conspiratorial planning of an event but who didn’t realize it until later. These individuals, and there aren’t many in the history of the world, have also exposed the inner workings of the conspiracy at great peril to themselves.
  3. The third method of exposing a conspiracy is for researchers to uncover conspiratorial designs in the events of the past.  If you’re interested in this field of study I’m sure you’ve come across many such sources who expose conspiracies.

Many Scholars have a belief that a conspiracy does indeed exist, and that it is extremely large, deeply entrenched, and therefore extremely powerful.  It is working to achieve absolute and brutal rule over the entire human race by using wars, depressions, inflations and revolutions to further its aims.  The Conspiracy’s one unchanging purpose has been to destroy all religion, all existing governments, and all traditional human institutions, and to build a New World Order out of the wreckage they have created.

Notice that if the Conspiracy does exist, it will do everything it can to deny the charges of both those who seek to expose it and those who claim to have been a part of it.

“Three hundred men, all of whom know one another, direct the economic destiny of Europe and choose their successors from among themselves.”  vWalter Rathenau, who in 1909 controlled German General Electric.

“Fifty men have run America and that’s a high figure.”   Joseph Kennedy, the father of the late president John Kennedy.

“There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act.  In Fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any group, and frequently does so.”

“I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960’s, to examine its papers and secret records.”    Dr. Carroll Quigley, a professor of History at Georgetown University’s Foreign Service School, author of Tragedy & Hope.

What Motivates the Conspiracy?

The ultimate purpose of this Conspiracy is power. There are some who desire this more than even material goods, although the two frequently go together.

“Rose Kennedy (the wife of Joseph Kennedy) knew that the man she loved loved a power beyond the power of money.  He wanted the power of government, and he would have it.”  Pearl Buck author of The Kennedy Women.

The Conspiracy, then, needs conspirators, and it is logical to ask why illustrious men of wealth and fortune would join such an enterprise.

“The answer is quite the reverse of the question: These men (involved with the Conspiracy) became illustrious primarily because they were part of the Conspiracy.”  Blair Coan, author of The Red Web.

So those involved do not become rich and/or illustrious and then join the Conspiracy; they become rich and illustrious because they are members of the Conspiracy.

But what is their motive?  What prompts men to seek wealth and position?

“When a person has all the money he needs, his goal becomes power.”   Former Congressman John Schmitz.

“There are two passions which have a powerful influence on the affairs of men.  These are… love of power and love of money…. When united… they have the most violent effects.”   Benjamin Franklin

However, power itself has a corrupting influence on those who seek it.  In an oft-quoted truth.  Lord Acton explained power thus: “Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Those who seek power will be corrupted by it.  They will be willing to intentionally cause depressions, revolutions, and wars in order to further their desire for more power.  This corrupting nature of the very pursuit of power explains why the moral mind of the individual who neither desires power over others nor understands the desire for such power cannot fathom why power-seekers would want to create human misery through wars, depressions, and revolutions.

In other words, the conspirators are successful because the moral citizen (you and I) cannot accept the conclusion that other individuals would actually wish to create incredibly destructive acts against their fellow citizens.

Another power seeker, the Russian anarchist Bakunin, explained that this process of corruption even affected those dedicated to freedom who were given power to protect the powerless.  He wrote that “… the possession of power transformed into a tyrant even the most devoted friend of liberty.”

“Power is the end.  What other delight is there but to enjoy the sheer sense of control? Let me see any other motive in the people who command.”   Richard J. Whalen, author of The Founding Father, speaking of Joseph Kennedy.

So the motive of the Conspirators has been identified:  It is Power!

* Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One.
3 “Let us break their chains,” they say,
“and throw off their fetters.”

Let us now examine and look at Albert Pike.

 

Picture of Albert PikeAlbert Pike was born on December 29, 1809, in Boston, and was the oldest of six children born to Benjamin and Sarah Andrews Pike.  He studied at Harvard, and later served as a Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army. After the Civil War, Pike was found guilty of treason and jailed, only to be pardoned by fellow Freemason President Andrew Johnson on April 22, 1866, who met with him the next day at the White House.  On June 20, 1867, Scottish Rite officials conferred upon Johnson the 4th to 32nd Freemasonry degrees, and he later went to Boston to dedicate a Masonic Temple.

Pike was said to be a genius, able to read and write in 16 different languages, although I cannot find a record anywhere of what those languages were.  In addition, he is widely accused of plagiarism, so take with a pinch of salt.   At various stages of his life we was a poet, philosopher, frontiersman, soldier, humanitarian and philanthropist.  A 33rd degree Mason, he was one of the founding fathers, and head of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, being the Grand Commander of North American Freemasonry from 1859 and retained that position until his death in 1891.  In 1869, he was a top leader in the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

Incidentally, Freemasonry itself is a fascinating subject and I could devote an entire website to it.  Simon Gray, a Freemason, has compiled a stunning amount of information on Freemasonry that I recommend for anyone who wants to learn more about it.

Pike was said to be a Satanist, who indulged in the occult, and he apparently possessed a bracelet which he used to summon Lucifer, with whom he had constant communication.  He was the Grand Master of a Luciferian group known as the Order of the Palladium (or Sovereign Council of Wisdom), which had been founded in Paris in 1737.  Palladism had been brought to Greece from Egypt by Pythagoras in the fifth century, and it was this cult of Satan that was introduced to the inner circle of the Masonic lodges.  It was aligned with the Palladium of the Templars.  In 1801, Issac Long, a Jew, brought a statue of Baphomet (Satan) to Charleston, South Carolina, where he helped to establish the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.  Long apparently chose Charleston because it was geographically located on the 33rd parallel of latitude (incidentally, so is Baghdad), and this council is considered to be the Mother Supreme Council of all Masonic Lodges of the World.

Pike was Long’s successor, and he changed the name of the Order to the New and Reformed Palladian Rite (or Reformed Palladium).  The Order contained two degrees:

  • Adelph (or Brother), and
  • Companion of Ulysses (or Companion of Penelope).

Pike’s right-hand man was Phileas Walder, from Switzerland, who was a former Lutheran minister, a Masonic leader, occultist, and spiritualist.  Pike also worked closely with Giusseppe Mazzini of Italy (1805-1872) who was a 33rd degree Mason, who became head of the Illuminati in 1834, and who founded the Mafia in 1860. Together with Mazzini, Lord Henry Palmerston of England (1784-1865, 33rd degree Mason), and Otto von Bismarck from Germany (1815-1898, 33rd degree Mason), Albert Pike intended to use the Palladian Rite to create a Satanic umbrella group that would tie all Masonic groups together.

Albert Pike died on April 2, 1891, and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery, although the corpse of Pike currently lies in the headquarters of the Council of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Washington, D.C.  (see The Deadly Deception, by Jim Shaw – former 33rd degree Mason and Past Master of all Scottish Rite bodies.)


 

Albert Pike received a vision, which he described in a letter that he wrote to Mazzini, dated August 15, 1871.  This letter graphically outlined plans for three world wars that were seen as necessary to bring about the One World Order, and we can marvel at how accurately it has predicted events that have already taken place.

Pike’s Letter to Mazzini

It is a commonly believed fallacy that for a short time, the Pike letter to Mazzini was on display in the British Museum Library in London, and it was copied by William Guy Carr, former Intelligence Officer in the Royal Canadian Navy.  The British Library has confirmed in writing to me that such a document has never been in their possession.  Furthermore, in Carr’s book, Satan, Prince of this World, Carr includes the following footnote:

“The Keeper of Manuscripts recently informed the author that this letter is NOT cataloged in the British Museum Library.  It seems strange that a man of Cardinal Rodriguez’s knowledge should have said that it WAS in 1925”.

It appears that Carr learned about this letter from Cardinal Caro y Rodriguez of Santiago, Chile, who wrote The Mystery of Freemasonry Unveiled.

To date, no conclusive proof exists to show that this letter was ever written.  Nevertheless, the letter is widely quoted and the topic of much discussion.

Following are apparently extracts of the letter, showing how Three World Wars have been planned for many generations.

The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war.  At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.” 2

Students of history will recognize that the political alliances of England on one side and Germany on the other, forged between 1871 and 1898 by Otto von Bismarck, co-conspirator of Albert Pike, were instrumental in bringing about the First World War.

The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists.  This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine.  During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm.” 3

After this Second World War, Communism was made strong enough to begin taking over weaker governments.  In 1945, at the Potsdam Conference between Truman, Churchill, and Stalin, a large portion of Europe was simply handed over to Russia, and on the other side of the world, the aftermath of the war with Japan helped to sweep the tide of Communism into China.

(Readers who argue that the terms Nazism and Zionism were not known in 1871 should remember that the Illuminati invented both these movements.  In addition, Communism as an ideology, and as a coined phrase, originates in France during the Revolution.  In 1785, Restif coined the phrase four years before revolution broke out.  Restif and Babeuf, in turn, were influenced by Rousseau – as was the most famous conspirator of them all, Adam Weishaupt.)

The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World.  The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view.  This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time.” 4

Since the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001, world events, and in particular in the Middle East, show a growing unrest and instability between Modern Zionism and the Arabic World.  This is completely in line with the call for a Third World War to be fought between the two, and their allies on both sides.  This Third World War is still to come, and recent events show us that it is not far off.

World War Three in Brief

A Three World War scenario was developed several decades ago (see Conspiratorial History).  Two World Wars have already been achieved, and the Third and final World War envisions an attack on Iraq, Iran and/or Syria as being the trigger to set the entire Middle East into fiery conflagration.  Once America is firmly entrenched into the Middle East with the majority of her first-line units, North Korea is to attack South Korea.  Then, with America’s forces stretched well beyond the limit, China is to invade Taiwan.  This will usher in the start of World War III.

World War Definition:

What constitutes a ‘world war’? How many countries need to be involved?  And who decides at which point a number of regional skirmishes can be grouped together and called a World War?  At the time, who called the official start of World War I and World War II?

And have you noticed that although the term ‘World War Three’ is freely used in the alternative press and on the Internet, all the major news networks have stoically avoided using any phrase reminiscent of World War.

Since it’s difficult to find a definition for an event which has only happened twice in modern history, here’s my attempt at an answer to the question ‘what constitutes a world war’?

A World War is a military conflict spanning more than 2 continents, in which at least 20 major countries participate in an attack against a common enemy, and which has the attention of the man-in-the-street due to the significant loss of life.

With that definition, we can agree that WW I and WW II were in fact World Wars (both wars involved some degree of participation from most of the world’s then existing countries: Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States and the Soviet Union).  We can also agree that we are very close to achieving World War III.  The only requirement left to fulfill the start of WW III is that of a military conflict spanning more than 2 continents.  As soon as Israel attacks Palestine, or North Korea attacks South Korea or the US, or China invades Taiwan, we will have the next World War well underway.

World War III Timeline

These are, I believe, the stages of the planned Third World War:

  • Prelude – The events leading up to the start of World War  III, including Sept 11, 2001.
  • Act 1The Middle East.  Widespread conflict to bring the entire region into the flames of war, possibly triggered by Iran or militants in Pakistan using North Korean supplied nuclear arms.  The first Scene in this Act is the US Invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003.
  • Act 2Israel at War — Against her Arab neighbors, possibly Palestine.  A Palestinian State will be established, so that all Israelis will be fully separated from Palestinians, only for Israel-Arab peoples to viciously be conflicted shortly thereafter.
  • Act 3Far East — “Hair-raising nuclear confrontation that threatens mankind’s existence” – Peter Lemesurier, author of The Armageddon Script, p. 223, written in 1981.  Includes China invading Taiwan and a nuclear eruption on the Korean Peninsula.
  • Act 4Erosion of Confidence in ‘The System’ so severe citizens will be panicked into giving up liberties and Constitutional form of government.  The plan calls for the dissolution of the US Constitution, triggered by a significant enough ‘terrorist’ attack.  The ultimate intent is to introduce a global government and one-world religion.
  • Act 5The collapse of the US, and other Western economies and morals.  The police state enacted hence the need and use of FEMA camps around the country.
  • Act 6Significant population reduction using natural and man-made disasters.  Agenda 21, Codex Alimentarius.
  • Curtain.  Who can tell how this war will end?

Both Biblical prophecy and the Illuminati plan state that Israel is the key.  The Third World War is planned to begin when Israel goes to war against her Arab enemies. Then, and only then, will all the other elements begin to occur and they will do so in rapid succession.  The plan is to have one disaster following another in such rapid succession that, before people can mentally and emotionally handle one disastrous news event, they will be hit with another.  It is also accurate to say that until ALL of the elements for WW III are in place, the plan will not commence.

While it would be naive to suggest a specific timeline for the events leading up to and including World War III, we do know that the plans for World War III are well advanced, and our leaders involved in this secret plan are waiting only for the right signal before all-out war begins.

We are in the last stages of the preparation to so globalize the world that the Masonic New Age Christ (Antichrist) can appear to receive all the political and economic power of the world’s rulers.  This is the Illuminati plan and Biblical prophecy (Revelation 17:12-17).

Occam’s razor just may explain why our legislation has outcomes that justify the grand design of the Illuminati plans.  Look at the creation and foundation of the League of Nations, or now the newer and improved United Nations organizations to see commonalities of the master plans.

Twas Then I Knew

I think back to that day
a somber night’s appeal
a story to tell
on just how you feel
you felt troubled and blue
but you let me in
a graceful heart
was adrift in the wind
against the shadows
and waning light
you shared with me
this inner plight
When I looked into those hazel blues
twas then I knew
twas then I knew
I found myself caught
in this emotional quest
the empathy i felt
filled this heart now in unrest

 

The Mirror Test: Existentialism or Love?

treeman10

Why do I tend to relate to those Existentialist types?

Earlier in my life I found myself disconnected to the world via my account of my relation to family and my friends.  I would often gravitate to the works of those who spoke in terms that I could relate to and found myself reading much about existentialism.

Sometimes I hear the words of Albert Camus whisper vehemently in my ears.  His ideas about Absurdism and his philosophy I can often relate to, yet I find that I am somehow somewhere else in my thinking and being.  The thoughts extended by my friend Mr. Camus does compel me to think on what he has said, but I feel he is missing something in his assessments.

Absurdism

Many writers have addressed the Absurd, each with his or her own interpretation of what the Absurd is and what comprises its importance. For example, Sartre recognizes the absurdity of individual experience, while Kierkegaard explains that the absurdity of certain religious truths prevent us from reaching God rationally. Camus regretted the continued reference to himself as a “philosopher of the absurd”.  He showed less interest in the Absurd shortly after publishing Le Mythe de Sisyphe  (The Myth of Sisyphus).  To distinguish his ideas, scholars sometimes refer to the Paradox of the Absurd, when referring to “Camus’s Absurd”.

His early thoughts appeared in his first collection of essays, L’Envers et l’endroit (Betwixt and Between) in 1937.  Absurd themes were expressed with more sophistication in his second collection of essays, Noces (Nuptials), in 1938.  In these essays Camus reflects on the experience of the Absurd.  In 1942 he published the story of a man living an absurd life as L’Étranger (The Stranger).  In the same year he released Le Mythe de Sisyphe (The Myth of Sisyphus), a literary essay on the Absurd.

The turning point in Camus’s attitude to the Absurd occurs in a collection of four letters to an anonymous German friend, written between July 1943 and July 1944.  The first was published in the Revue Libre in 1943, the second in the Cahiers de Libération in 1944, and the third in the newspaper Libertés, in 1945.  The four letters were published as Lettres à un ami allemand (Letters to a German Friend) in 1945, and were included in the collection Resistance, Rebellion, and Death.

Camus presents the reader with dualisms such as happiness and sadness, dark and light, life and death, etc.  He emphasizes the fact that happiness is fleeting and that the human condition is one of mortality; for Camus, this is cause for a greater appreciation for life and happiness.  In Le Mythe, dualism becomes a paradox: we value our own lives in spite of our mortality and in spite of the universe’s silence.

– “The absurd is born of this confrontation between the human call and the unreasonable silence of the world”

While we can live with a dualism (I can accept periods of unhappiness, because I know I will also experience happiness to come), we cannot live with the paradox (I think my life is of great importance, but I also think it is meaningless).  In Le Mythe, Camus investigates our experience of the Absurd and asks how we live with it.  Our life must have meaning for us to value it.  If we accept that life has no meaning and therefore no value, should we kill ourselves?[25]  In Le Mythe, Camus suggests that ‘creation of meaning’, would entail a logical leap or a kind of philosophical suicide in order to find psychological comfort.[26]   But Camus wants to know if he can live with what logic and lucidity has uncovered – if one can build a foundation on what one knows and nothing more.  Creation of meaning is not a viable alternative but a logical leap and an evasion of the problem.  He gives examples of how others would seem to make this kind of leap.  The alternative option, namely suicide, would entail another kind of leap, where one attempts to kill absurdity by destroying one of its terms (the human being). Camus points out, however, that there is no more meaning in death than there is in life, and that it simply evades the problem yet again.  Camus concludes that we must instead “entertain” both death and the absurd, while never agreeing to their terms.Meursault, the absurdist hero of L’Étranger, has killed a man and is scheduled to be executed.  Camus made a significant contribution to a viewpoint of the Absurd, and always rejected nihilism as a valid response.

“If nothing had any meaning, you would be right. But there is something that still has a meaning.” Second Letter to a German Friend, December 1943.

Camus’s understanding of the Absurd promotes public debate; his various offerings entice us to think about the Absurd and offer our own contribution.  Concepts such as cooperation, joint effort and solidarity are of key importance to Camus, though they are most likely sources of ‘relative’ versus ‘absolute’ meaning.  In The Rebel, Camus identifies rebellion (or rather, the values indicated by rebellion) as a basis for human solidarity.

“When he rebels, a man identifies himself with other men and so surpasses himself, and from this point of view human solidarity is metaphysical.  But for the moment we are only talking of the kind of solidarity that is born in chains.”[28]   __The Myth of Sisyphus

Despite his opposition to the label, Camus addressed one of the fundamental questions of existentialism: the problem of suicide.[29]  He wrote, “There is only one really serious philosophical question, and that is suicide.  Deciding whether or not life is worth living is to answer the fundamental question in philosophy.  All other questions follow from that”[30]  Camus viewed the question of suicide as arising naturally as a solution to the absurdity of life.[31]  In The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus seeks to identify the kinds of life that could be worth living despite their inherent meaninglessness.[31]

If “absurdity” is the human failure to find meaning, and our existence is one that we create, than where do we look to find these answers?  What is the natural antithesis of this argument?

• Existentialism says the existence of the person is above and before everything else, and the concept of existence before essence is of central importance in existentialism.

• Personal meaning of the world is at the core of existentialism whereas in absurdism, realizing personal meaning of the world is not that important.


Let us first start by looking to each other.  To what depth can we reach another if we are alone in the world?  If we believe the existentialist philosophers saying that existence precedes essence, than to what avail do we fathom the distance between two people?

In my experience I can say I have seen the depths of my despair and I do not wish for anyone to experience life with this disconnection.  But with each fall, the mind can still reach for answers that may take us to tumble before we see anything that makes sense to us.

 

I think that the greatest human achievement lies not in our philosophical discourse but is in our capacity to love.  When the concept of love is realized, than all other doctrines seem to evaporate before our eyes.  From what I’ve read about the distinguished philosophers who struggle to find meaning in the world, they seem closed to the idea of the transformational qualities of love.  If you can put aside the psychological and philosophical issues we often invent, our experience of the world is greatly shaped by the unifying connections to one another.

The fulfillment of how we treat each other is the primary concern we ought to establish without any debate over other human pursuits in the material world or the philosophical realm of our minds.  Tend to the purpose of giving love and the rest of our subjective problems will often vanish before our eyes.

The greatest human tragedy must lie within our failure to love.  Quite simply if we are able to give ourselves in an authentic loving way to the universe than our lives will  exponentially benefit from the elation of our toils.

The argument made here is that the absurdity found in Camus can equally be found in the failure of human beings to co-exist in a loving biosphere.  Our failure to exercise our choices to conduct ourselves in ways that will diminish any angst created by our minds detachment from others.   A central thought we find in existentialism is a detachment that views the world as external and devoid of our being connected to it.

“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.
It is up to you to give [life] a meaning.”

Jean-Paul Sartre

“Thrown into the world”…. is a presumptuous statement by JP Sartre.  I understand exactly what he means, yet I have considered that we are human and therefore must interact with the environment, thus we are an agency in the world whether we are “thrown” into it or not!  My pragmatism will often counter the thinking of the existentialist when matters such as these present themselves.

I once viewed the world in such a way due to my relation to the world at that time, where my head was, and how my emotional balance presented itself to the world.  I now see things within different harmonies of mind.  A reasoning harmonic that includes many teachings that render choices we make in our lives.  I choose to look towards a path that best seizes the opportunities I have once deserted.

 

If you look to those on their death beds, the top 10 regrets in life should give you a clue about how we should lead our lives.  Why do we let triviality take precedence over our lives?  I think after the wiser words of those whom have lived longer than we have is a place to look when we find our mortality is staring back at us in the mirror.

Listening: When the soul touches another

 

 

What is the toll when for those we love, we fail to pay full attention to the subtle qualities of their life?  We are sometimes caught up in our own lives so much so that we are often not “there” for others around us.  Our focus is primarily on how we fit into the world.  It is our issues, our needs, our wants, and other ego related concerns which take precedence over the interests of another person’s.  And what about those we love?  At what result do the people we love get overlooked when we do not truly listen to them and take all of them into account?  What do you pay attention to when your family members or other close friends speak out about their affairs?  We may just brush them off because we think we know them well enough,  and since we have already figured them out, we pay little observance to them.

One result may be the dilution of the relationship in that it greatly diminishes the authenticity.  We drift apart and this could happen to the relationships within our families.  We end up not validating others because we are not “present” with them in their accounts with us.  Our diversions take us away from being “present” when we are with them.  Presence in mind or mindfulness about them is such a crucial skill we do not often employ.

We all want to be understood, we all want to be acknowledged, we all want to be remembered and some people want many admirers.  In terms about our emotional connections with other people, I think that it is more important to be loved deeply than to be loved widely.  This irrefutable fact is more than what most of us get!  You don’t get to choose if you get hurt in this world, but you do have a say in who hurts you.

I have struggled greatly with the relationships growing up as a boy with my family.  I often internalized the behaviors I observed and thought much on the subject for many years.  It is precisely why I feel deeply about such matters, because of the impact it had on my life, how I grew up, and to what extent it shaped my values and sensitivities at a very early age.  I had little validation and acknowledgement because I was the child that did not give my family any reason to fuss over.  I learned very early to self-soothe myself since I had little connection to the rest of my family.

I think that because of my awareness, I have seen the full spectrum of the emotional pendulum.  The examples of extreme detachment and extreme empathetic people are self defining.  I vowed to study and understand these phenomena so that I may never repeat the unfortunate examples that I experienced in my life.  That I would live my life in accordance with the values I recognized to be essential for “connecting” to other people.  Authenticity was a central theme for me through-out my progress.  In the course of my discovery, I gave of myself as I would like to receive.  In that odyssey and experience with others, I felt some of them on some very profound levels that I don’t think they even identified.  It taught me much about the human heart and the entanglements we can find ourselves in.

I must admit that I still value those moments I’ve shared with people because I have confirmed and substantiated my beliefs.  I have certified that I have loved deeply without misplacing myself into the equation.  I have never forgotten those moments when I was presently minded and without my ego to muck things up as I listened to another person’s heart open up to me.  It is why we as people can connect at great depth to others because of the power it provides us with.

 

 

We take exams about our reading essays and when graded they measure our reading comprehension.  Educators do this on all grade levels from elementary schools to University level students.  I ask why we do not call out for more training in human communications and ask for listening comprehension between people?  Think of the skills learned and the lessons learned that could greatly impact the communities at large when empowered with such training.  Sadly we do not invest in such matters, and many do not comprehend themselves let alone others.

When you open yourself up to other people, do you expect them to listen to you with an authentic ear extended?  What is the feeling you get when you share an emotive pairing of the minds and become one with others?  Not that you agree with what they say necessarily, but rather that you completely understand what they have said, empathize and give of yourself to them while they speak without judgement and accept them for who they are in the moment.

The tragedy found in many people’s lives is the non-recognition of how important the art of listening is and what it means to others.  If you have ever felt left out, if you have ever been ignored or not validated on how you feel or think, I can only say that there are people who will listen and are attentive even when the people you want the validation from are not there for you on this level.  If you are mindful and aware of this dynamic, then maybe you will express yourself in a way that will touch another persons soul.

Leo Buscaglia

“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.”
Leo Buscaglia
Jiddu Krishnamurti

“How do you listen? Do you listen with your projections, through your projection, through your ambitions, desires, fears, anxieties, through hearing only what you want to hear, only what will be satisfactory, what will gratify, what will give comfort, what will for the moment alleviate your suffering? If you listen through the screen of your desires, then you obviously listen to your own voice; you are listening to your own desires. And is there any other form of listening? Is it not important to find out how to listen not only to what is being said but to everything – to the noise in the streets, to the chatter of birds, to the noise of the tramcar, to the restless sea, to the voice of your husband, to your wife, to your friends, to the cry of a baby? Listening has importance only when on is not projecting one’s own desires through which one listens. Can one put aside all these screens through which we listen, and really listen?”
Jiddu Krishnamurti, The Book of Life
Jiddu Krishnamurti

“You are now listening to me; you are not making an effort to pay attention, you are just listening; and if there is truth in what you hear, you will find remarkable change taking place in you – a change that is not premeditated or wished for, a transformation, a complete revolution in which the truth alone is master and not the creations of your mind. And if I may suggest it, you should listen in that way to everything – not only to what I am saying, but also to what other people are saying; to the birds, to the whistle of a locomotive, to the noise of the bus gong by. You will find that the more you listen to everything, the greater is the silence, and that silence is then not broken by noise. It is only when you are resisting something, when you are putting up a barrier between yourself and that to which you do not want to listen – it is only then that there is a struggle.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti, The Book of Life

Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
‘Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sounds of silence

Simon and Garfunkel
