The Qulyssis

The Qulyssis.


A Day in the Life of Tom O'Flannery.

It is a Friday morning, in Dublin, when young, Tom O'Flannery, awakes, to the noise, of an empty house. Out of bed quick, and with a change, from his pyjamas, into, a t-shirt, and some khaki pants, he is quickly down, to the kitchen. The kitchen, is empty, but there is a note, from, his mother, telling him, of the breakfast meal, in the fridge. Done with breakfast, some fifteen minutes later, Tom O'Flannery, is out, of the house, on his bike, and riding away, into Dublin, to seek out friends, and adventure, in its own right.

Tom is riding, and looking around, as he does. Everything, kind of, looks, miserable, and rather silent. No motion in sight, and as he wheels on and around, even looking, into the houses, he passes on, all he sees, are drawn curtains, closed curtains and doors, and not, a soul, in sight. Down, at the end, of the street, he turns right, and down the hill, he goes, as he picks up, speed, while almost cycling, furiously. He is down the hill, and sits, on his bike, steadily, arms somewhat extended, handlebars clasped tight, and eyes, darting around, for almost, the sight, of a dog or cat, running into his way. He is up, almost, the hill, when he turns his head, and looks, into a, nearby park, with some kids in it, playing baseball. His steady and fast eyes, quickly catch, a glimpse, of Tim O'reilly, the American wannabe kid, in the neighbourhood. He stares at him, eyes intense, and decides to steer, his bike, almost slowly, into the park. The opening to it, a gateway, an opening, in an aluminum fence, feels rather narrow, as he passes, through, into it. He is in, and headed, towards Tim, and another group, who stand and sit, almost, surrounding Tim, as they listen, to him spew out, some talk, on him, and even, in a while, America [or the States, as he calls it]. Tim is holding, some mitts, on one hand, and a ball, baseball, on the other hand. As he quickly approaches the group, Tim looks up, and in almost, a split second, changes his voice, and tone, as he makes, everyone, aware, of the presence, of, Tom O'Flannery. Calls of, "Hi Tom", and, "Whats up Tom", ring out, as Tom O'Flannery, approaches, and stops by, the group, with Tim O'reilly, eyeing him, up closely. "So, whats going on around here?", asks Tom O'Flannery, as one of the Kids, in the group, quickly eyes him, and announces, that, Tim, was telling them, something, about the States. Tom quickly looks up, to Tim, and Tim, puts on, an emboldened face, as Tom, quickly quips, "Why don't you go there, if you like it so much". Tim continues, to eye Tom, knowing very much, that a fight, of any sorts, is out, of the question. Tom, once blackened his eye, with the swiftest punch, he had seen, on both sides, of the atlantic. Some small talk later, with nothing much gained, or learned, and a small quip, that the IRA, were cooler, than the US Army, Tom O'Flannery, is out of the park, on his bike, and riding away, after promising, to return on, much later.

Tom is riding, through a street, some way, away, from the park, when he notices, a rather, burlesque, woman, come out, of a, movie theatre, and as he looks on, at her, with an almost frown, deep, on his face, she happens, to turn around back, and on, almost immediately, seeing him, waves her hand at him, at which, he stands up, from his seat, and peddles on, away. Its Lisa O'Brien, waving, almost wildly, if not, madly, as he rides away, feeling rather, uncomfortable. He is down the road, turns a corner, and keeps moving, into, a rather, narrow and dark, alleyway, with a side latern, hanging, from the top side, of one, of the walls. He is through it, and as he, comes out, of the other side, he spots, a white car, appearing, to be reversing, and turning really, around, in a circle. The driver, quickly spots, Tom O'Flannery, and waves at him, before beckoning to him, to come on, to his side. Tom rides, rather slowly, and waywardly, as he approaches the car, and on getting near it, a small far distance, on the sidewalk, he turns, to look at the driver, rather squarely. "Tom, how is it going, mate?" "Seems fine to me", says Tom back, with a rather, quizzical look, on his face. The man looks back, at Tom, almost disappointed, and Tom, somewhat grimaces, as the man, continues, to stare on. "Where are you off to Tom?" he asks again, and Tom replies, "Just riding in and about, Mr. Quinn", and appears, to then turn, and begin, to almost, ride away. "Hey Tom", Mark Quinns voice, rings out, "I have something, for ya", to which, Tom, turns around, looking, rather disgusted, and annoyed, before seeing, Mark Quinn, reach out, to the side seat, next to him, and almost, grabbing, at something; it turns out, surprisingly, to be a coat. "What would I do with that?" yells out Tom, almost loudly, as he somewhat, bites and folds, his lower lip, looking, rather flabbergasted, at whats, going on. "I thought you would like it", says back, Mark Quinn, before Tom O'Flannery, turns back, and around, and swiftly, rides away, standing aloft, on his bike, as he does so.

Tom rides on, until, he arrives, at his favourite spot, in almost, all, of Dublin. Its a Games Arcade, and there are alot, of Kids, milling around, talking nothing much, and drinking down, some slurpees. Some girls, say hi to him, but he cares not much, to respond, to them. He is in, into the Arcade, after noticing, a black kid, he does not really like, very much. Always running up to him, saying hi, asking, what he's up to, and which chicks, are after him. He looks away, almost in a grimace, as he believes, that Ted, the black kid, has somewhat, seen him. He is in, and headed, towards his favourite game, when he spots, his closest friend, nearby it, playing, another game. "Shane", he somewhat calls out, as he sits in, into his favourite car game, and Shane, looks almost across, from the similar, car game, he is playing. "Whats going on Tom?" he asks, as he promptly, steps on the pedal, below his foot, accelerating away, as he notices, a corner, quickly, coming up. "How is everything going?" asks Tom back, as he sits in, rather comfortably, and slides, some coins, into, the game's, slots. "Amanda was here, looking for you" says back Shane, and Tom, looks away, downwards, as if, settling in again, and feeling, rather ashamed, if not, uncomfortable. The game begins, and he is off, playing, at a rather, comfortable pace. As he is playing, and realizing for the first time really, that the game, is becoming, rather simple, he somewhat, turns, to Shane, who still very much, concentrates, on his game, and says, "what did she want?" "Just stopped by, to say hi, I think", is what, Shane says, as he continues, playing on. Tom O'Flannery, remembers Amanda, and somewhat believes, she was a mistake, one to remember, in his so far, short lived life. As they play on, and a full, twenty minutes later, Shane turns to Tom, and says, "we better, be going". Tom takes that, as a signal, that the local prudish kids, a group, made up, of his ex, Amanda, and other Kids, American in spirit, will probably, be making, their way, to the Arcade. Talking loud, and nothing much, is all they do, as they appear, very pleasant, to everybody out there, attempting, to attract, attention, and garner envy. They are out, of the Arcade itself, and on towards, to the bike lot, as they jump, onto their bikes, and off, they ride away, into Dublin itself.

They have been riding, for twenty minutes, when they get nearby, to their first stop; its Shanes home, and he wants, to get, his sweater, from his room. Tom O'Flannery, is seated, outside, the steps, into, Shanes home, looking around, and even about, when a white car, slowly rolls by, unseen, upon when, noticing it, he quickly lets out, a slur "Ah! shit!!", as the car, slowly, stops by, and Mark Quinns, head, pops out into view, and he quickly says, "Hey Shane", before openly obviously, shaking his head, and saying again "Tom...O'Flannery". Tom O'Flannery, looks towards him, as if, having been called out, of a daze, and Mark Quinns voice, says to him again "So whats really going on, Tom?", to which, Tom O'Flannery, responds, by saying, "Nothing much at all". As Mark Quinn, is getting ready, to say something, having looked down, the road quick, a blue car, rolls on, next, to Quinns car, and Mark Quinn, quickly, pulls in, into the car, and rolls down, the opposite window, and begins, talking, to a man, Tom O'Flannery, knows nothing off. The man, looks, rather burly, almost fat, with a beard to his face, and somewhat sits, from what Tom can gather, in a manner, similar, to an IRA agent. He does not look Irish at all. Shane is out, of the house, as this is going on, and as they quickly, pick up, their bikes, Tom having mentioned, the name, Mark Quinn, and Shane having spotted him, through, the corners, of his eyes, they both, jump on, onto their bikes, as an old womans voice, calls, from behind them, almost admonishing them, as they begin to pedal away, standing on their bikes, with Shane a bit behind, Tom O'Flannery, pedaling too, while turning back to say, "Sorry Mrs. O'Connor", we have, to get going"; and as they both, pedal away, they do notice, Mark Quinn, quickly looking, across the window, onto their side, into what appears, to be a commotion, going on.

The two Kids, are on their way, away, from Shanes home, and riding fast, if not furiously, down the street, on the sidewalk, looking out, for nothing much, but putting a distance, between them, and the scene, created behind. Having been riding, for fifteen minutes, they arrive, at a fastfood restaurant, at Shanes request. They are in, Tom not looking, too enthusiastic, and upon, sitting, on a bench, and looking around, as Shane, makes an order, for both of them, he spots, all kinds, of familiar faces, working faces, seated around, eating, their lunches. Shane is back quick, with the order, which surprises, Tom O'Flannery, as he then, while seated, across Tom, hands him, his order, and sets down, to eat his. Tom looks, at the fries, right before him, no drink at hand, and after applying, some ketchup on them, begins, to chip away. Shane on the otherhand, is eating away, at his hamburger, fries, and Coke drink, that lays, right before him. Tom watches him, rather closely, while eating, his own fries, and then, somewhat later, says to him: "You should not eat that stuff", referring to the hamburger, "It will make you loopy, as those goons, across over there" he says, while pointing through the wall, as Shane turns, to look towards, the pointing finger, pointing seemingly, through the wall, and even across Ireland itself, and the seas too. Shane looks back, at the meal, before him, not wanting, to believe, what has been said, and with a quick glance, at Tom O'Flannery, continues, to delve, into the food, before him, looking somewhat, miserable, as he does so. The two Kids, are done, with their meals, and before too soon, are back out, onto their bikes, and wheeling away, again.

They have been riding again, for another, twenty minutes, when they arrive, at a hilltop, overlooking, a rather, steep descent. They look down, upon it, and Tom O'Flannery says, "last one down, is a woose", before they both, speed off, riding like the wind, not caring, for anything, in sight. As they are nearing, the bottom, each concentrating, on the road itself, and really, enjoying, the ride, for what it is, they both, notice, each other, and almost, immediately, and decisively, make an agreement, to slow down, and somewhat, rest, at the bottom, of the descent. They are down there, seated, on their bikes, nonchalantly, when Tom O'Flannery, somewhat says, to Shane, "So, who was Amanda with, when she came by?" "All by herself, but I think, Patrick, was around". Tom shakes his head, to himself, as he imagines, Amanda, with Patrick, besides her, almost, in disgust. It was because, of Patrick, that Tom O'Flannery, broke up with, or really left, Amanda, as she envisioned him, the coolest kid around, with his really blue jeans on, hat turned back, nike sneakers, and white t-shirt on. Tom had quipped to her, "Why don't you get with him then" and had left her side, and refused, to return, any of her calls. He did not hear, from her, for about, five or six weeks, and when he did, it was to do, with Patrick; they were together, and supposedly, happy. Shane says something, as Tom awakes, from the stupor, he is in, of him, having been kissing, Amanda. He somewhat catches, Shane saying, "Leo the Postman, is on his way down"; he looks up the descent, they just came down, to see, a blue, post office van, coming down, the steep descent. The van, begins to slow down, as it approaches, the bottom, of the hill, and when next, to the two Kids, slows down, and Leo the postman, somewhat, makes his way, across his seat, onto, the window by them, and upon rolling it down, says to them: "Howdy Kids, what is it, that you are doing, down here?" The Kids, both look at Leo the Postman, as everyone calls him, and reply by saying, "nothing much". "Hop in" he says, while pointing, to the back of the van, "I will drive you up, the hill", as they both, turn towards, the back of the van, and make, towards it. Inside the back, and Leo still talking much, mostly to them, but to himself too, the van, disembarks, for the top, of the hill, with Shane, somewhat looking relieved. Leo is telling them, of his day at work, and having come across, Tom Arnold, in an office, in metropolitan Dublin. The Kids listen in, as Leo, pointingly states that, Tom Arnold, offered him, his autograph, but he declined it, in return. The Kids, look at each other, not knowing, what to say, but somewhat shaking, their head, at the absurdness, of the whole story. "I totally declined it", he appears to be saying, to himself, "and then, swiftly turned around, and left, with everyone, looking at me, in amazement". The van, arrives, at the top of the hill, and Leo, continues, to drive on, with no intent really, it appears, of slowing down. Shane looks outside, the window, as Tom sits by, still, listening still, to what, Leo the Postman, has to say. "There were chicks all around, and they thought, I was truly crazy, for doing that". Tom continues, to listen in, as Shane, continues, to look out, of the window, partly now, wondering, where, they are headed to. The van, eventually slows down, after Leo the Postman, has had his share, of talk, and looking through, the rearview mirror, says, "I've got, to go down, the other way, so you guys, get off here now". The two Kids, at the back, open the door, to the back of the van, jump out, with their bikes in tow, and shut the door, soon after. Leo the Postman, head out, through the window, turns around, and says, "You Kids, best, be getting home now, it looks like, its going to rain". The two Kids, look at Leo, and somewhat in affirmative, somewhat agree, to his request, before the van, speeds off, as the Kids, look up, into the dark cloudy skies, above them; the sun, still shines though. They both do notice, they are not, too far, from the park, and decide, to head, towards it.

10 minutes later, they arrive, at the Park, and on getting there, push their bikes, through, the aluminum fence opening. On looking in, at the crowd, they do notice, that Tim O'reilly, is still in there, talking lots, to the other kids, and some girls too, at which, Tom O'Flannery, looks upon at, with disapproval. They get in there, and Tim O'reilly, appears, to notice them, almost immediately. Tom and Shane, make their way, to his little group, and stand around, and about, hoping, in Toms case really, that Amanda, and her crew, don't really show up. The Kids, are standing, talking to themselves, when one of the kids, in the group, mentions, that they should, head over, to O'reillys house, to play, some videogames. The other kids, look enthusiastic, at hearing, the proposal, but Shane and Tom, don't seem, to enthusiastic, in return. With the crowd, begin to grow, and even begin to look, ethnic, Shane and Tom, begin, to reconsider, the proposal, and soon after, in a rather, small group, are headed, to O'reillys, for a round, of videogame play.

They are inside, O'reillys home, about, fifteen minutes later, looking around, as O'reilly mentions, his mum, won't be home, for another, hour or two. Shane and Tom, are busy, looking around, as usual, as O'reillys home, is not, decorated, very much, in a similar manner, to other, Irish homes. There is a framed, photograph, of JFK, on one, of its walls; a few plates too, standing on side, locked in, into, two living room display cabinets, aside each other, with a rather small, American flaglet, standing, on one of them. O'reilly, is back, from the kitchen, with some juice, and biscuits to go. Shane and Tom, are seated there, having taken, one or two biscuits, and munching slowly, and looking, around, as O'reilly, appears, to be somewhat, looking at them, disapprovingly, as if waiting, for approval. As the other kids, begin, to play, the Sony Playstation, in the living room, with the TV, there is a small knock, on the door, as it opens wide, and a man, followed, by another, both wearing, full length coats, walk in, and somewhat, fully, into the living room. "Hey Tim", one of the men says, "is your mother home?" Its Tim O'reillys uncle, Peter Kane, with a friend of his, and Shane, and Tom O'Flannery, look back at them, almost, showing, some disapproval. Peter Kane, is a rather, well known name, in these parts, of Dublin, and even, documented, by the press, and police too. "When will she, be in?" he asks, O'reilly again, as O'reilly replies, "give an hour or two". The two men, make their way, into, the living room, and sit, on a nearby couch, opposite right, to where, Shane and Tom O'Flannery, are seated, on another, couch. They are both seated there, as Tim O'reilly, goes back, into the kitchen, to get them, some drinks, and the men, ask, the playing kids, "what game is this?" "Virtua Fighter", a voice rings out, in reply, as the kids, keep playing, almost watching too, at attention. One of the men, Peter Kane, turns to Shane and Tom O'Flannery, and asks them, "whats up?" The Kids, simply sit by, looking back at him, and don't say, nothing much, other than, somewhat shrug, their shoulders. Peter Kane, turns his eyes, back to the television, and watches, one of the fighters, or kids really, pummel, the other, onto the ground. The two men, watch the game and fight unfold, before them, before Peter Kane, turns back, to Shane and Tom O'reilly, and with one, of his fingers, onto his lips, motioning to them, for silence, he reaches in, into his coat, and pulls out, an automatic firearm, with a silencer, to it. He pulls it out, as he keeps, his other hand, and finger too, across his lips, while making, his eyes large, as he does so. Shane and Tom, simply sit there, watching him, pull out the weapon, before looking back, into his large eyes, as he does so; their eyes darting, from hand in coat, back, to the widened eyes. Peter Kane, having pulled out, the gun, turns to slowly, point it, at both, Shane and Tom, and as he makes, his eyes, somewhat even larger, lips somewhat pouted, before him, he quickly pulls at, the trigger, making both, Shane and Tom, jump, before he quickly, returns, the gun, into his coat, as one of the playing kids, turns around, upon hearing, the motion.

Tim O'reilly, is back, with the drinks, and as he sets them, down, before Peter Kane, and his friend, his mother, happens, to walk in, making her way, into the kitchen, before somewhat, stopping, at the living room, to look, inside it, and seeing the kids, Tim, her brother and his friend, and finally, Shane and Tom O'Flannery, whom, she greets, somewhat, excitedly. She is in, into the kitchen, and both, Shane and Tom, take the opportunity, to say, goodbye, to Peter Kane, his friend, and Tim O'reilly, before, somewhat quickly, heading out. They are both out, before Shane, points out, at, Tom O'Flannery, by saying, "he's really, a nut"; to which Tom affirms to, by putting a finger, to his head, while detaching, his bike, from a stand nearby, and making, a circular motioning gesture, with the finger, at the side, of his head. The two Kids, are on their bikes, and before too long, are headed off, away, from the house, and cycling at ease, as they both, decide, to go onwards, on, to their homes. The dusk, has set in, but everything, is still, very much, viably seeable. As they are riding, towards their homes, they both spot, a car, on the road, parked somewhat, along, the parking spaces, with two people, in it. They both, somewhat, at the same time, appear, to look, into, the car, and see, Lisa O'Brien, appearing, to have a conversation, with someone else, whom, they identify, as, the local politician, Peter O'Toole. The conversation, seems gregarious, and as both, Shane and Tom, slow down, to look somewhat, at them, Lisa O'Brien, happens, to turn, towards them, and begins, to somewhat, if not readily, wave at them. They both, pick up pace, and in no time, have left the scene, and begin, speeding off, towards, their homes.

The British Isles



The Hero with a Thousand Faces:
This is an ode, a telling really, to the Land, they call, the British Isles;
A Land really, made famous, by colonial exploits,
but really, one, of gentiles, and rightfully called: Britannia



Many Lands, seek, to be famous, for their exploits;
Whether it be, Sinbad, and the Seven High Seas,
or even, drinking binges, at a university weekend party (Oxford);
the truth is, what makes, for a Land, are the religious aspects, of the people in it.

And while, America, be the Land, of Wonders,
[as in Stevie Wonder, singing, Part Time Lover], idea filled, and an amazement,
and Japan, be a Land, of God(s),
[as in the Samurai, and especially, the Ronin], skillfull, and of interest in heart,
the British Isles (Brittania), are a Land, of Heroes.

And no other Hero, fits, the image physically, in aspects, and look, than Hermes;
Greek, artful, and highly, emotionally expressive [and prone, to outbursts]

The British Isles, have been, a Land, misunderstood, and hence, highly problematic.
A Land, seen more, as Country, People, and Nation, than rightfully, what,it really is, a Land.
An attempt, to unite, all three, leading, to political discourse [filled in rage], and violence,
as a denouncing factor, to a Land, misunderstood; for the question reigns still,
who belongs, in Brittania, and the argument being, which Nation, Country, or People,
have the right, to rule [in policy], and rightfully too, fit in [in customs, and tradition].

As a Country, the British Isles, have been, one, of languages;
English, Welsh, Scottish, and Irish [the North, if you must]
For the English, Country means, Monarchy;
For the Irish, speaking in Gaelic, Country means, Information Networks [and an IT industry]
For the Scottish, Country means, Country does mean, Heraldry;
and finally, with the Welsh [no jokes or puns], Country, really means, Parliament;

As a Nation, the British Isles, have been one, of culture;
Irishmen, Englishmen, Scots, and Welshmen, have all defined,
each other, differently, as Nations [leading to fights, and wars];
Mary Stewart, William Wallace, Elizabeth, and even, Rob Roy;
For what, makes, for the Irishman, is the food, he eats [no hamburgers please];
for the Welshman, is the clothes, he wears [no jeans],
and for the Scots, is the music, they pleasurably, listen too [bagpipes and horns...and skirts too];
and with the English, it is in, their speech;
Each, vowing, to defend, their cultures [Nations really], from alien factors [whether it be, African, or American],
and wishing death, on others, and themselves, those who seek, to alienate them, from their ways, and Life.

As a People, the British Isles, have been defined, as workers, and riches too, by outsiders, to it;
In todays world, it has been, the Americans, Africans, the Indians, and even, the Egyptians.
Traditionally though, different people, made, the British Isles, as workers, and in wealth;
with the Welsh, it was the Romans [making them, toughened, and bountiful];
with the Scots, as wealth seekers, settlers, from Meso-America [all the way from Venezuela],
once defined, whom they were, in wealth, and as, a working people;
with the English, it was, the (of course), the English and Saxons;
and with the Irish, a land filled, with opportunity, came, the Ancient Spaniards, to trade, and farm;
That was how, the British Isles, grew wealthy, and rich; no IT, retail, import/export, or merchandising;

But it is as a Land, that the British Isles, have remained, undefined, but rightfully, believed,
by many, to be British, by nature [a Land, ugly in prospects, and stupid, in the people];
for the Land, in all, can rightfully be called, Brittania;
not so, for the Brits, who have partially, defined it, but for the Greek, in it [as the first stone, ever lain, in the British Isles, was Greek];
It is the Greek, who unites them all, in the form, and name, of Hermes;
A way of life [lifestyles really], defined, by Hermes, as Hero.
And to oversea, this way, of Life, would be none other, than, the Mother of Greece herself,
Athena [influencing, the customs, and traditions, that unites them all].
And with Athena, with the aid, of a Prince [or two],
will be a way, of Life, best based, on the Prince and the Pauper [Hermes in disguise];
For thats what, every, Irishman, Scotsman, English, and Welshman, really is [in their homes,
and out and about]: a Prince and (or), A Pauper;

and that, in all, truly (really what), does Britannia, make for;

Britannia:

Anne of Green Gables



Anne of Green Gables, is a historical novel, set in, rural Canada. It in many ways, basically tells, the tale, of how, life, was once lived, in rural Canada. And while, most, might focus, on the, everyday activities, and lives, of the, characters in it, what really, grasps one, about it, are the, emotions and feelings, easily manifest, from seeing, into, their [characters] lives. It is in, many ways, a heartrenching, book, as to the obvious, feelings, of despair, hopelessness, and even, misery. Heartrenching feelings, deep in nature, that most, simply, believe, the characters, cannot escape. But what is really, heartrenching, about, Anne of Green Gables, is that, the characters in it, are actually, what, most people, in modern parlance, refer to, as, "good people". They are actually, good, decent people, going, through, hard times, and can't seem, to escape them, for no real good reason at all. In many ways, Anne of Green Gables, and other such, similar, historical novels, set in, rural Canada, tell the tale, of millions, of folks out there, today, who simply aspire, to live good lives, and be decent folk, but can't, understand or fathom, why the evil, get to win, all the time. In many ways too, Anne of Green Gables, captures, the moods, of hopelessness [in their deepest form], that have generally, engulfed, the world, since, the late, 19th century, to the, present age, we live in. In many ways, the desire, to escape, a rural mindset, and live, free and large, in the big City.

Lets talk to God: Religious Signs and Insignia

Back in the Middle Ages [a period of time, not too different, from rural Canada], those who sought, to advance [without seeking knowledge], sought, to do so, via, the use, of Religion. It was, a way, of advancement, based really, on the 'worship', of, Religious Signs, and Insignia. A rather, intellectual way, of 'worship', as it, in many ways, involved, talking, to God. This talk [or conversation], was at its heart, based on, dealing, with feelings, of, despair, hopelessness, and even, misery. Talk about, whom they were [and where, they were going], the problems they faced, and what they wished for [or aspired for], in general. All this talk, as mentioned, dealt in many ways, with ones, core beliefs. And at the core, of it all, was dealing, with feelings, of, despair, with regards, to whom, one really is. It was a way, of 'worship', that eventually gave rise, to a form, of, evangelizing, known as, Proselytizing [telling others, of Gods hopes, for them].

Rural Canadians, are in many ways, folks, who are wont, to come up, with, quick ideas, on their general lives; from whom they are, to solving general problems, to aspirations sought [whom they really are]. They kind of, talk to themselves, and ideas, sometimes, come rushing. This is sometimes too, done, in a group setting [or what some call, groupthink]. This is the main reason, why, the worship, of Religious Signs and Insignia, would be great, for rural Canada, and other, such, rural populations. A way, to seek, knowledge [via what they call, musings], other than, seeking out, an education, of all kinds. There are three, of these signs, that might be, helpful, to anyone, seeking, right now, to start on, solving, the, psychological based problems [based on living, in these present times], in their daily lives. One simply feels them [the signs], and talks, to them [as many have traditionally knelt, in church spews, facing towards the cross, and praying to God]. Doing so, results, in the rush, of ideas, showing up, to help one, solve, their problems [psychosomatic in nature] [psychosomatic problems, are problems, based, on ones history, that prevent one, from advancing; one gets rejected, by a girl, and fears them all after].

The Spanish Cross:



The Spanish Cross, is a religious Sign really, that one can, turn to, when despair sets in, into their lives. When one, believes, they simply, have no future, due, to whom, they have become. They are simply, just, hopeless, in everyway, and rather, than try, to improve, themselves, seek to resort, to alcohol, and drug taking, to feel good, about themselves. When they seek, a self-image, for themselves, such that, they can, wake up [early in the morning], and go out there [despite how miserable], and live out, their lives. Its simply, a cross, you talk to, when you believe, that, life, is not worth, living out, and that, suicide, or even, an early death, is the way to go. When you seek even, to attempt, to do, something, big, but are held back, by identities, imposed, on one, institutionally e.g. Country, State, family name, and the likes.

The Cross and the Crown:



The Cross and the Crown, is a rather, old, and reknowed, religious Sign, of Germanic origins [and seen, in, Middle Ages Germany]. It is a sign, in many ways, associated, with problem solving. If one, has a problem, of any kind e.g. school/work problem, relationship problem, and even, a political problem [high taxes perhaps], then one, can easily turn, to the Cross and the Crown, for help. It is a religious sign, that will have, answers, to all kinds, of problems [technical in nature], coming up, rather easily. It is a rather, powerful sign, and most, who believe in it, will easily feel it, in their blood, and veins. It is a sign, that has, historically, been associated, with, problem solving, Secret Societies, once seen, in Germany. A sign, that is not, really associated, with, seeking knowledge, but with developing, ones, pattern recognition, memory, and logic skills [via flashes of knowledge] [you have to think (ask too), things out].

The Orthodox Cross:



The Orthodox Cross, often associated, with Orthodox Christianity, is a cross, that in many ways, helps deal, with, misery issues. Issues mainly, with regards, to how, to, live ones life; the routines, or plans, associated, with ones, everyday life, or the future itself. A cross, that can help you, in general, plan, for your future. Most people, today, don't really, plan, for their futures, with the exception, of, attempting, to accumulate, lots of money, for their retirement. In many ways though, they don't, really know, what to plan for [other than, retirement]. As a summary though, the Spanish Cross, can give you, a dream; the Orthodox Cross, will help you, plan for it, and the Cross and the Crown, will help you, solve, all technicalities, one meets, on their way.

This form, of 'worship', seen, in the Middle Ages, was very much then, family based. It often started, with, individual families, and when they rose up, in rank, often then, united, with other families, resulting, in Extended families. Families, powerful in wealth, and identity, and were often, associated, with what, they call, Heraldry [Heraldic signs, often use, religious Signs and Insignia, in them]. Some Families [Extended], became, rather powerful, and very much, became, too, a form of Political Authority [a powerful political entity, and also, a source, of religious counsel]. The origins, of the Catholic Church, in Europe, arose, as a form, of, Political Authority [and why, to this day, the Papacy, is associated, with a Heraldic sign].

This form, of 'worship', is also, very good, for any form, of, decision making. It is also used, for, general prayer, in the form of, Prayer/Concentration, Meditation/Focus, and Contemplation/Alignment [the Spanish Cross, the Orthodox Cross, and the Cross and the Crown, respectively].

The Maltese Cross, is reborn.

Hadrian



A child, of Hermes, and probably, one of the greatest, Greeks, that ever lived. Living out, an Alexandrian myth, but very much, Narcissus, in private thought. Across Greece, into Turkey, and through, Asia minor, all the way, into, India, and it all, culminating, with a defeat, in Spain, the taking, of Portugal, and it all ending, in the UK [and the building, of Hadrians wall].



So, one more time [in its proper setting:]

to Pluto and Narcissus

To Pluto, and Narcissus;
One, for modesty, 
the other, for slight; 
One betrothed, to Echo, 
the other, beknown, to Jezebel 

Both, a side, to each other, 
both, unrecognizable, in sight; 
Neither, an opposite, or, a negative, 
but, a dual, unseen, in flight; 

For Echo, Narcissus, is Love, at first, sight, 
But, to Jezebel, death, a repose, to slight; 
And, echos tremor, to trappings, in thought, 
as Narcissus, bemoans, the death, of his modesty, in sight; 
And, to Pluto, fear reigns, in sight, 
as unknown, slights, modesty, does perturb; 

To each, is horror, neither, each, conceived; 
to be, born, gifted, in chance, 
but, of recourse, to Love, does injury, slight; 
Echo, and Jezebel, unknown, in flight, 
each, preys, alike, in pride; 
One is, for death, in sight, 
the other, for sight, in death; 

To Pluto, life reigns, in heights, 
for Narcissus, heights, reigned, by life; 
To be, a dual, fraught, with fright, 
neither, conceives, each other, alike;

The Life Experience

The Life Experience, is the main reason, why, most attempt, to wake up, every morning. It, being very much, a spiritual experience in nature, and in many ways, drives, the masses, to go out there [in the day], and live out, their lives. For many though, this search, for the Life Experience, has been limited, to the search, for, the Sexual Experience. For those, who believe in this, Life, is very much, meaningless, in nature; their main belief, is that, we are born, we copulate, we die [and thats all, there is, to Life]. Those who believe, that Life, is all about, the search, for the Sexual Experience, also very much, too, believe, that Life, is mainly about, self-punishment; that Life, is a Grind [tiresome, fatigue, exhaustion....], with moments, of reprieve and rest, in between. A very old fashioned, way, of living Life, as humans, in the past [as hominids too], had attempted, to evolve, past this [way of living]. In many ways, a great regression, that makes, Stone Age living, understandable, to many out there. Alot of our ways, and manners, are very ancient, in nature and origins too; many live Life, and very much do things, in a similar, manner, to Ancient Babylonians, and the likes. All this due, to believing, that Life, is only all about, the search, for the Sexual Experience [that the heights of Life itself, lays, with King Saul, Goliath, and King David].

In recent past times, and even, with the Egyptians, the concept, of Life, had evolved, to a greater extent, than it is, today. We live today, for instance, in a naturally, violent world, of physical fights, verbal abuses [including witchcraft], and even, planned attacks [a way of living, that is, ancient, in nature]. Societies, in many ways, had evolved, past all this, to Societies, of Psychological terror only, where, violence, in the physical form, had ceased, to exist [poisonings, were far much common]. Exposure [and the fear of it], was the first step, in overgrowing, this ancient way, of living [associated with physical violence], and was, at the helm, of knowing, the Life Experience, as a Spiritual Experience [Self-exposure, lies at the heart, of the Life Experience, as a Spiritual Experience (for instance, knowing a trick, or two)].

Joseph Campbell [famed American Scholar], sought, to explain, to the masses, what, the Life Experience, was all about. In many ways, he spoke, of the path [or paths], that made, for a legitimate, Life Experience. In many ways though, his works, pertain, only, to a single way, of, seeking, the Life Experience, out of a possible four. There are four, major, possible ways, of experiencing, the Life Experience: Love, Atonement, Restitution, and Sanctification. Of these 4, three, are known, in many ways, and one [Sanctification], spoken about, mysteriously.

Restitution, is the most famous, of these 4, and the most, lived out, mythologically, by most. Restitution, at its heart, is based, on the search, for three primary things: great food, material splendor [including learning], and happiness [in all its meaning; as based on experiences, vibes, and testimonials]. In many ways, its a path, that arises, with one, believing [and knowing], they are, Ignorant. Ignorance, very much lies, at the heart, of this path. Its a path too, that, very much believes, that Earth, is a heavenly place, worth visiting, and worth living in [the Spiritual Experience here, in many ways, lies, in Learning].

Atonement, is the way, of seeking out, the Life Experience, made famous, by, Joseph Campbell. It was especially, popularized, in his now, more or less, rather famous work: The Power of Myth. Its at its heart, based, on the search, for three primary things: Self-belief, Immortality [amongst others], and Joy [in the form of, Glory, Grace and Repute]. It is a way, of Life, formally, strongly associated, with the Western world, but in many ways, having, been lived out, much greater [with regards to intensity], in Africa [Politics, has never been intense, in the Western world, as it was, with Shaka]. At its very heart, it is based on, eradicating, Hate [mainly in the form of, Self-Hate]. This Hate, is eradicated, via, what they call, Education. Its a path, in many ways, that very much, believes in, rising, amongst, ones history [including group history].

Love, is the third way, of seeking out, the Life Experience, and especially, common, in Asia [minus Japan]. Japanese Society, was all about, Atonement. The way of Love, was at its heart, based on, three primary things: Self-consciousness, Growth [as a Human Being (religiously, spiritually....)], and Love/Fulfillment [experiencing, the depths, and ranges, of human emotionality, in all its forms: emotions, feelings,....]. It is a way, of life, believed, to be Western [due to its popularity, via the movies], but reached, its greatest heights, in Asia. At its very heart though, its is based on, Fear [the Fear of Dying, and not, the Fear of Death]. The Fear of Dying, as an experience [rather painful], and also, very much, the very basic fear, of having, missed out, on Life itself. This Fear, was eradicated, via Training. Training here means, undergoing, learning experiences, mainly geared, towards, experiencing, certain 'emotions' [like in the first date]. Its a path, in many ways, associated, with women, and what, they refer to, as, the human experience.

Sanctification, is the final, major way, known, of seeking out, the Life Experience. A way of living, not known, to most, and has, traditionally, been associated, with, Secret Societies, of all sorts [and especially, the Freemasons]. This way, of seeking out, the Life Experience, is at its heart, based, on three primary things: Self-discovery, Truth, and Satisfaction [in work, well done]. It is a path, highly associated, with work [as especially, pertaining, to creative output, and ideas]. It is this, way of Life, that has traditionally, driven, civilization, to great heights. At its very heart, it is based, on, Intolerance/Hatred. While this mostly, manifests, in, intolerating others [and separating from them], at its height, it is based on, being, Self-intolerant. It also, ats its heart, based on, rising, above, what is, and seeing, what could be [attempting to find, a path, to greater levels, of Beauty]. This, Intolerance/Hatred, and the attempt, to find, greater levels of Beauty, was associated, with what, they refer to, as, Instruction [the search for Truth].

That in all really, summarizes, the Life Experience, in its four, major manifestations. These four major, Life paths, have been, associated, with the Astrological Tarot, in the form of, the following cards: the Lovers (Love), the Hierophant (Atonement), the Hermit (Sanctification), and finally, the Chariot (Restitution).

Risorgi Con Cristo

a Disciplined mind, who heals, by touch.

Machiavellian Plots

Niccolo Machiavelli [Greek wanderer to Italy], is often acquainted with, modern political thought. Some [the ignorant really], even believe, he founded, Politics, itself, but his theories, never, did approach, Roman Political thought [in depth]. Machiavelli though, did know, one thing well: he knew, plots. The Prince, one of the most popular, political publications, in the world, has always been seen, as the, main, inspirational source, by all kinds, of, wannabe, plotters, out there. Following in the footsteps, of these, wannabe plotters, are some, of my own [plots], based though, on logical common sense, and the need, to relive, a former history [glory], as a founder of Greece: Augustus [title and Trajan].

The plots here, rather basic in nature [and historical too], are not, of the, 'Gunpowder plot and treason' kind, but more, magnanimous. They are prestige, and thoughtful, in nature, and if titled, would be referred to as, the 'Purple Heart treasons'.


France:




The first destination, in thought, for the, 'Purple Heart treasons', is France. A nation of interest, to many, but understood, by a few. What will be attempted here, is simply, a remaking, of old France, as it was, but now, filled, with Jinnis, and Light beings. Old France, was rather simple, in model, but not, really so. At its heart, was a Queen figure [worshiper of the Black Madonna], and very much, responsible, for the social based figures [such as Knight], that one saw, in French Society. In many ways, it was she, who decided, who was, French, or not French, based mainly, with regards to, if, they fitted, a certain, social public profile. You also had, a Political Process [attempts and trying], that was used, to regulate, the seeking of success, by the many, Chivalrous profiles, in French Society. While the Political Process, was based, on having, those, seeking success, attempting to do so [by being a maverick of sorts], and seeking social success, as based, on trying [at heart, acting pitiful, towards women], the new order, will have, everything, in reverse again. Seeking, Social Success, will be based, on attempting; this means, men, will attempt, to lure women, mainly, via, the element, of surprise. Surprise comments, or even, surprise gifts, will be, the order, of the day. Success, on the otherhand, will be sought, in the old fashioned way, of trying. One will seek, to improve, on their weaknesses, and all these tryings, will be moderated, by a High Priest figure [Jinni], who will, in many ways, come up, with the ideas, on what Successes, to seek out. You will also have, an Intellectual class [in the mold of Dumas], who will very much, create, the social fabric, of French Society itself [meaning, how the different figures (as created by the Queen), interact, with each other]. There will also exist, a Pope like figure, and the head, of the new French Church, who in reality really, will regulate, the Media constructs, seen, in French society. While 6 such constructs, were listed before, there is room, for more of them [some being, subdivisions, of the known 6]. All this, will be how, Religion, in France, will now be practised. You will have too, the old French economy, back in place, and as usual, mainly, in the countryside. The old French economy, was interesting, in nature really, and the basis, of what, Economists, refer to as, the Self-regulating Economy. It was an Economy, where, French people, came up, with all kinds, of products, and services [creatively], and then, had, a mold of, French Salesmen, sell them, in France, or even, outside it. It was a rather, crazy, concept, as people, simply sat down, and about, and creatively, thought up, all kinds, of ideas [on products and services], which when created, were given, to French Salesmen, to sell out there, based, on their disposition [A French Salesman, saw something interesting, and offered, to sell it, for the idea creator]. In many ways, what they call, the Expo, was very much, at the heart, of the, old French Economy. While the Political Process, will be managed, and led, by a President like figure [including a Judicial structure], there will be, a King, to decide, very much, on the fate, of French Society, as a whole [a Visionarist, so to speak]. Thats the New France [very much, in a nutshell].





Florida State:



What is proposed here, for Florida, is rather, basic, in nature. It is very much based, on African Spirituality, as seen, in, Meroitic Nubia, which very much, means, installing, a ruling Pharaonic structure, of sorts. Florida [and Miami too], have always been, regarded, as a kind of, No Mans Land, in America. Historically, it was even, strongly associated, with the Spanish, and Spain. In this day though, it very much appears, the Cubans, rule it. What will hopefully be seen here, will transform, Florida, into, a, Majestic State [higher than Grand]. Many African Kingdoms, unknown to many, were actually, Majestic, in nature. At its heart, it involves, the transforming, of the Floridan, mainstream economy, into one, based, on deal making. What this means, is that, people, from all over, the Americas [including North America], will meet, in Florida [Miami perhaps], to make deals. The deals here, will be deals, on finding, difficult products, and services. America, has a huge, black market, and Miami, will attempt, to replace this. Hopefully, this could even deal, a blow, to software pirating, and illegal, music.movie downloads. At its very heart though, you will have, a Majestic culture [and infrastructure]. By Majestic, it is meant, that people, are very much, aware, of whats, going on, in their surroundings. There will be, an Airport based economy, which will involve, shipping, hard to find [and difficult], products and services, to all parts, of the Americas [one makes a deal, in Miami perhaps, and the 'deal', is easily shipped, by air]. The Pharaonic structure, will in many cases, exist, so as to replace, Law enforcement [one cannot, be, Majestic, with too much, Law enforcement, around]. Instead, the Pharaonic structure, with a Pharaoh, who will engage, in African Spirituality, will act somewhat, as Law enforcement. In all, he will have, a basic dream, for Florida/Miami [with regards, to nightmares, hopes, dreams, and hates], and will attempt, to foresee, all this, when regulating, Florida/Miami [if the Pharaoh, should believe/envision, violence, in a certain part, of Miami, then a policing attache, will be sent, to look it up]. In general, he will be, the most, Majestic, of all, the people, in Florida/Miami, and will regulate, Florida/Miami, based, on his beliefs/visions, of any disruptions [not only criminal or violent]. Too much policing, will kill, the spirit [of making deals, or acting majestic], and in many ways, might, instigate, even more violence [political in nature]. If caught, breaking the Law, then what is deemed, as the heavy hand, of the Law, will be dealt out [in many ways though, Majestic figures, avoid trouble, and trouble makers].





Chile:



Chile, is a rather, unknown country, in, South America, to many [even South Americans, don't really know, much, about it]. Many believe it, to be filled, with 'indios'. In many ways though, Chile is a Land; a difficult Land at that, as transversing it, is rather, difficult, in nature. In many ways, living, in Chile, is rather, difficult, due to a, poor infrastructure [connection wise], and in many ways, daily survival, feels, very much, like a struggle [even doing, the simplest of things]. Some blame it, on the, high altitude; others, on the, mountainous nature, of the Land, and even others, on the general lack, of, economic opportunity, in Chile. What is proposed here, is a method, for the everyday Chilean, to get by, their day, with ease, happiness, and very much, comfort. At its heart, it involves, the worship, of Risorgi Con Cristo [for the men atleast], as a basic way, to learn, discipline [for the women, our Lady of Lourdes (really Portuguese), would be more suitable]. Other than make, Chilean men, rather disciplined [even heavily], Risorgi Con Cristo, is also, very much, a source, of great ideas, on many things [thats what, a disciplined mind, is all about]. Chile too, being, very much, a Land of individuals, makes it, rather hard, for Chileans, to unite, in just about, anything [especially economic]. With the worship, of Risorgi Con Cristo, this becomes, much easier [due mainly, to discipline], and what is great, about, Risorgi Con Cristo, is that, he has, an understanding, of forming networks, to achieve, just about, anything. Networks, such as alliances, associations, groups, cartels, leagues, and all the likes. It would do, best, for the average Chilean, to fully understand, what these terms [and others like them], mean [a good introduction, would be the works, of Machiavelli]. Chilean women, worshiping, our Lady of Lourdes, will be, of great help, to networks, created, by Chilean men, with regards, to coming up, with ideas, on who to talk to, and even how, to manage them. A great way, for Chileans, to get, religious [and happy, in difficult Chile], unite [via networks], and make great wealth [as wealthy, as Portugal once was, as a Maritime Nation]. Thats hopefully, the New Chile.

Cogito Ergo Sum

Rene Descartes, is a rather commonly known name, for those, who happen, to pick up, on logic. For the ignorant, they believe, that he probably invented, logic itself. Descartes, in many ways, attempted, to summarize, the human being, with the following phrase: Cogito Ergo Sum, "I think, therefore, I am". For Descartes, the very fact, that he was, a thinking being, meant to him, that, he was real, and did in fact, exist. Its a rather, very base way, of looking, at the human, but does work, when it comes, to attempting, to describe, what, the human being, really is: what is, in many ways, human nature.

Analytical Psychology:



While Descartes, laid, the foundations, for the origins, of Analytical Psychology [the view, of the human, as a thinking being], it was Carl Jung, who attempted, very much, to expand, the meaning, of human nature, not only, from that, of a thinking being, but also, very much, as to that, of a being, influenced [as with regards, to human nature], by a Mother, and Father figure. He associated, this influence, with what, he called, the Mother and Father, Archetypes.

Analytical Psychology, in many ways, does not only, speak, of the influence, of the Mother, and Father figures, in our lives; it also, very much, talks, of any underlying, tensions, between these, two figures, and within, themselves. Our Mother figure [and Archetype], very much, influences, the way, we live, our lives. The Mother Archetype [as a representation, of the Mother figure], very much, also lays, the beliefs, about ourselves, and our environments [our core beliefs]. She also though, however, determines, our livelihood [how we seek, to exist, with basic regard, to our amenities, and necessities]. In many ways, its the Mother figure, in our lives, who determines, what kind of person, we are [good/bad], and how, we choose, to exist [sustain ourselves really], with regards, to survival and support. Our basic environments, homes, and even more clearly, our bedrooms.

The Father figure [as represented, by the Father Archetype], acts, as a kind of, guide, with regards, to any, endeavour, made by a person. Anything, from getting, to a certain point, from another, or even, what shoes, to put on, for an interview. In many ways, simply advicing one, on what to do, with regards, to any, endeavour out there. In many ways though, one finds that, today, these roles, of the Mother, and Father Archetype, have been exchanged, giving rise, to some, emotional confusion, and turbulence, within, many folks, out there.

The thinker, within us [whom we might call, the Ergo], is today, driven, by past experiences, rather, than the ideals, espoused, by Descartes. In many ways, peoples lives, are limited, due, to looking at life itself, simply, from, past experiences. We live, in a rather, difficult [if not, crazy world], where, the unexpected, often happens. For those out there, who dare, to think, they might best, be adviced, that, using, Fuzzy Logic, is the way to go. Fuzzy Logic, tells us, that what, most, consider to be, an outlier,experience [ as with regards, to shocking, disturbing, or dangerous], happens, more regularly, than most believe it [don't believe the news really]. It also tells us, that what, most perceive, to be, an opposite, outlier experience [instant millionaire], happens, more easily, than most, would think it [easily meaning, there is a short viable path, to it]. In that sense, we live, in a crazy world, where, order and planning, do not, really exist.

State Oppression:

Many, are associated, with the names, Eva Peron, and Imelda Marcos. They know, they were a kind, of oppressor, but don't, really understand, how. In many ways, to summarize, their ways, is to say, that, they were, oppressors, with regards, to the, Mother/Father Archetypes, and the, Ergo. They sought, to put others, down really, with regards, to how, they lived, what kind of endeavours, they pursued, and in many ways especially, how they thought. In the end, they created, elitist, oppressive states, and helped coin, the terms, undesirables, and unwanted.

To fully, understand, the ways, of Imelda Marcos, and Eva Peron, is to fully, appreciate, what the Mother/Father Archetypes, are really, all about, and what, makes for, the Ergo really.

In many ways, today, our Mother figures [through the Mother Archetype], are supposed, to define, the materiality, we are associated with. In most ways, its the women, in our lives, as Mother figures, who define, the environments, we live in [especially at home]. Our materiality, kind of goes, with our, core beliefs, but in many ways, today, has become, rather, elitist, and symbols, of our Ergo identity. Our core beliefs, with regards, to ourselves [as especially pertaining, to personal issues], can be, religious, social, political, or family, in nature. And these beliefs, shape, our environments. Good examples, of this, can be seen, in America. One finds, that, with, Americans and Americanos, their core beliefs, are very much, family, in nature. What this means, is that, most, of the materiality, associated, with them, are very much, family, in nature. Lamborghini's, Fender guitars, Cats & Dogs, Cindys, Chevys, Mansions & Villas, are all, forms, of materiality, associated, with interacting, with people, one could call, family. You don't take, a Cindy, to a club, but, to a family outing really [and show her off]. Citizens, in America, have core beliefs, based on, being, social beings. Many see themselves, really, as kinds of, businessmen [of the hustler kind]. Their materiality, is also, very much, associated, with this mentality, and in many ways, many have, poor, Mother figures, in their lives [the Music Video, is more influential, in their lives, than Mother figures]. Americanistas, in many ways, see themselves, as being, Religious figures. Many today though, live, in poorly, decorated, environments, due to not fully understanding this [that their environments, should be religious]. The Gibson guitar, the Maybach, Birds as pets, Patricias [Clarkson], and Apartments or Chateaus, are really, all forms, of, religious materiality. The Maybach, is a car, the pope, would ride in [its really, a ride, meaning, more or less, a modern carriage] [Relationships, between, Americanista men, and women, are in general, religious, as in the case, of, Priest and a Mother Superior, or even, Priest and Nun (young American babe)]. For Americophiles, their materiality, has very much been, political, in nature. Computers, GMC vehicles, Pianos, Wines and Beverages, and even, Gourmet dishes, are all, forms, of, Political materiality [Computers in this case, refers, to Windows/PC products, and not, Apple, which are religious, in nature (Americanistas, could really go, heavy duty on this stuff, once the Org, is up and running)]. England too, has traditionally, had, a material culture, based, on the family. There was a time, in England, when, culinary sets, were considered, to be forms, of wealth. The English, in many ways, have always been, family oriented, and not, political, as they are presented, today. Country houses, very English in nature, are also, examples, of, English family based, materiality. The Deutsch, on the otherhand, are rather, political, and in this way, similar, to Americophiles.

Our Father figures [and hence Archetype too really], are in many ways, associated, with what, Society, calls, Systems [with Structures, being about, Mother figures]. Systems, are what, help us, with regards, to any, endeavours, we make. State Oppression today, while manifesting, in the form, of, overpricing materiality, really mostly, exists, with regards, to, the usage, of, Systems. There are about, 5, main kinds, of these, Systems, that are needed, by the average joe, to feel, very much, like, a normal person. If lacking, then issues, of, inequality arise, and issues too, of, power. Education, Transport, Law, Communications and Health systems, are the main, 5 Systems, needed, by the average joe, to feel, like a normal human. Without them, one feels like, they are lacking, in, capability [feelings of impotence]. Education here, does not really refer to, formal education, but to, very much, all sorts, of, guides and mentors. It is here, in many ways, that, systematic discrimination, arises, and one, that is rather, difficult, to deal with. If one, is incapable, of catching, a Taxi, it is hard, to deal, with such a, problem, formally. One cannot, really, report it, to a police station, and the best, one can do, is probably, file, a complaint, at a State agency.

With regards, to the Ergo, State Oppression, really has to do, with issues, of, psychological breakdowns. In many ways, this means, thinking, in ways, so as not to, experience, a panic attack, that would lead, to a, psychological breakdown. Racist actions, are at their heart, targeted, at making others, experience, a psychological breakdown. When one, is unfairly treated, one should seek, to react [not gentlemanly really], but in the form, of, the higher being [Angel, God, Gargoyle.......], they are evolving into. Many though, still attempt, to act, like, hominidal humans, when kind of, oppressed [at the best, gentlemanly]. These higher beings [we are evolving into], are very much, like, our true, Guardian Angels [and not personal inner voice]. In many ways, many today, think, fearfully, due to not, believing in, Guardian Angels.

The Anima and the Animus:

Many today though, are unaware, at just how far, Civilization, has regressed, with regards, to the Mother, and Father Archetypes. What this means, is that, we very much, live, in a world, where, the Mother, and Father Archetypes, are represented, by, actual Mother, and Father figures. Society, had evolved, into a stage, where, people, worshiped, Religious being, through the Mother, and Father Archetypes. The belief, in having, an actual caring mother, and guiding father, goes back, to the Ancient times, of Ancient Egypt [Egypt though, had greatly evolved, past this]. People instead, since the Arthurian Ages really, have worshiped, Religious beings, such as, Goddesses & Gods, as Mother, and Father figures. Worship of Goddesses, was used, to form, core beliefs, of oneself [especially as regards, to personal issues], and also, show one, how, to live in, their lives. If one, has personal issues, of all kinds [girl issues, nervous conditions.....], or simply wonders, whether, they should buy, a certain painting, for their living room, these are all, questions, one could put, to the Goddess, one worships. Goddess figures, tend to interact, with one, via, inner voices. Their worship, is rather, very simple.

With regards, to Father figures, Gods, of all kinds, had replaced, the Father figure, in raising, children. The Greek Gods, are the most, famous, of these, but were later, replaced, by the worship, of Jesus, in his various, manifestations. Other forms, of, 'God' worship, that became, popular, was the worship, of Saints. In many ways, worship, of Gods, has very much, to do, with any endeavour, people, seek, to do, as with regards, especially, to the 5 Systems mentioned. If stuck, and can't get, a Taxi, it is to a 'God', that you pray to. Gods, tend to communicate, with one, via, flashes of thought [images really]. In the Taxi situation, one might get, a flash, of where, one could pick up, a Taxi.

Goddess worship, is something, rather difficult, to assign, as it is, very much, similar, to living, with a foreign woman. Many of the Goddess figures, out there, while believed, to be, universal, are rather, communal, in nature. It is the Gods, that are rather, universal. However, for those, who desire, foreign women, and even, seek, to know them, worshiping, a foreign Goddess, is the way, to go about it [or seek to know them]. Some of the more, famous Goddesses, out there, one might wish to look up, are as follows: Athena, Ausar, Isis, the White Madonna, the Black Madonna, the Virgin Mary, Yemonja/Yemaya, the Indian Goddesses, Our Lady of Notre Dame, and finally, the Buddhist Goddess Tara. If you have ever, desired, a Mother figure, to adore you, and generally, motivate you, in just about, anything you do, then, it is Athena [Mother Of Champions & Greece], that you seek out. She is a Mother, that will help you out, with regards, to anything, personal [rejection by chicks, no friends, getting bullied and the likes]. A good example, of Athena, out there, is Celine Dion. If you ever, wanted, a mother, like Celine Dion, it is Athena then, you seek. If however, heavily disappointed, Athena, will shut down, on one [and never speak to you again]. Ausar, is a Goddess, seen, in Sufi worship, and one, of the best, Goddesses, out there, for those, with mother, and feminine issues. Very caring, and originally, of, Egyptian, origins. While seen, in the Middle East today, a good representation, of, Ausar, would be, Meg Ryan [watch some of her movies]. The White Madonna, like most, Madonna figures, is rather difficult, to deal with. She can be, very much, like an Ice Queen, or in the opposite, like, Snow White. Very Spanish, in nature, and worshiping her [which is similar, to being with her], is very much, like being, with a Spanish woman. A good representation though, of the White Madonna, is, Kate Winslet. The Black Madonna, more scary looking, than the White Madonna, is also, very much,a difficult Goddess [as it is hard, to know her], and very much, French, in nature. Traditional French women [somewhat Authoritarian], are what, the Black Madonna, is like. A good representation, of the Black Madonna, would probably be, Catherine Deneuve. The Virgin Mary, is a great introduction, to Goddess worship, but is in, many ways, a gentler, Mother figure [what this means, is that, don't expect too much, from her, with regards, to being an achiever]. She is not, too demanding, and rather, very homely, in nature. Hilary Swank, would be, an example, of the Virgin Mary. Yemonja/Yemaya, are Goddess worship, as seen, in Nigeria, and, South America/Brazil. She is in, many ways, a Goddess, associated, with strength. Very Queenly in nature, and also, rather intelligent. Worship though, differs, in Nigeria, and South America. Princess Diana, was very much, like Yemonja [as Goddess], in nature. As one can see, Yemonja, is a Goddess, associated, with achievers [those who want, to rise up, the ranks, via meritocracy]. Yemaya though, is a Goddess, that helps one, rise up, the ranks, more, with regards, to social skills. Melanie Griffith, is a fine example, of Yemaya. Isis, is a rather, well known name, when it comes, to Goddess worship, and the primary Goddess, associated, with Ancient Egypt, as a civilization. Isis though, is a rather, difficult Goddess, and was really, worshiped, as a, 'Mother of the Nation', or even, "Mother of Nations". She is that Grand [in nature], and very strict too, leading, to great successes, and even, great downfalls [it was the worship, of Isis, that was at the heart, of many, of Egypts, problems]. In many ways, she is very political, and is worshiped, by beings, who have, in one way, or another, become, big, and very political. In reality, a Goddess who demands, great obedience. The Indian Goddesses, of Parvati, Durga, Kali, and Shakti, are all, really manifestations, of the greater Goddess, Shakta. Shakta, is in, many ways, similar, to Isis. Difficult Goddesses too [as in the case of Kali, and her fearsome temper], and also, in many ways, responsible, for the rise, of India, as a great civilization, and probably, the easiest way, for India, to regain, its former, prominence. Not much to say, about, these Goddesses, but in nature [with regards to dealing with them], are similar, to dealing, with Martha Stewart. Our Lady of Notre Dame, is a Goddess figure, with origins, in North America, and not, France, as many, believe. Our Lady, is very much similar, to North American women, in general, and very societal, in nature [attempting to deal, with all kinds, of social problems]. In general, makes for a good, responsible, citizen. Patricia Clarkson [in 'All the Kings Men'], is an example, of our Lady of Notre Dame. The Buddhist Goddess Tara, is also, another example, of a responsibility demanding, Goddess. The Goddess, comes in various, forms, with the most unknown, being, Black Tara. Most Japanese women, are very much, like, Red Tara. A good example though, of this difficult Goddess, to deal with [in the form of, Black Tara], is Carla Gugino. That kind of, sums up, the various known, Goddesses, who can help one, start living, as, a human, today. Remember, their worship, culminates, in one hearing, their voices, as an inner voice. As a suggestion though, Athena, and Ausar, would be the best starts, for many out there. The rest, can be rather, demanding [Isis only deals with figures, who have had, past big histories].

The worship, of Gods, as a form of, Father figure, became, rather prominent, in Greece. The Greek Gods, are still, the most famous, of the Gods, but later replaced, in popularity, by the many manifestations, of Jesus. Zeus, is the most, difficult, of the Greek Gods, and would probably, have you, on call waiting, while he sorts out, some things. He is also, most likely, to correct you, impromptly, and without, your knowledge. Hercules, is rather difficult, and gives lots of advice, on, self-improvement. Achilles, is a great God, for those, who wish, to hustle, their way, through life, in one form, or another. Makes for a great friend too. Poseidon, is also, rather difficult, and rather commanding, in nature, with regards, to following, instruction. Can be confusing too. With Jesus, as a Father figure, the most famous known, are, Jesus of Nazareth [rather old fashioned though], and Jesus Christ [rather narrow, in help]. Great Jesus figures though, would be, the, Jesus of Gethsemane, and even, Risorgi Con Cristo. Risorgi Con Cristo, is Jesus, as worshipped, mainly, in the Philipines [and the Jesus, of self-whippings]; in many ways, a Jesus, for those, who seek out, outstanding success, all at a price though. In all, Achilles, and the Jesus of Gethsemane, would be a great start, for most out there.

Th Ergo, is something, most don't understand [man as a thinking being]. The reason for this, is due to the fact, that, most access, the Ergo, when not, in the present. When one, is thinking, or even, copulating, they are not, in the present, and are very much, something else. That something else, is the Ergo. It is with the Ergo, that the Media, perhaps, becomes, rather dangerous. This is because, when one, watches, a TV show, or movie, and identifies, with a thinking being, they very much, become, that being, when facing, a similar problem, in real life. If one, watches, a movie, of a thinking dog, and one, identifies, with the thinking dog [as in he knows, what he's doing], then on facing a similar situation, one would become, like the dog. Thought processes, can be hampered, by what, they call, Social prohibitions. Social prohibitions, are rules and laws, once broken, make one, ostracized, from society. In many ways, rules and laws, that really, only apply, to men out there. In general, one finds, that, there are, thinking processes [basic in nature], that one, can use, to present themselves, in any situation, that arises. The Tarot, was created for this, and represents figures, that are, very much, thinking beings [one should seek, to identify with them, as one thinks]. In all though, one finds that, different regions, of the world, have created, different cultures, driven, by various, thinking beings:

North America: The King

In North America, both men and women, tend to think [in just about any case], as the King. A good example, of the King, would be Jack Nicholson. In general, seeking, to be Knowledgeable.

South America: The Queen

In South America, both men and women, think, very much, like the Queen. A good example, of the Queen, would be, Antonio Banderas. In many ways, seeking, to be assertive.

Europe: The Clown

In Europe, thinkers [both men and women], tend to do so, very much, like the [a] Clown would. A good example, of the Clown, would be, Johnny Depp. The search, for clarity.

Africa: The Joker

In Africa, thinkers [men and women], are very much, Jokers, by nature. Jokers, in many ways, use, a kind of, fuzzy logic, in their thought. A good example, of the Joker, would be, Denzel Washington. Thinking, with regards, to possible outcomes.

Asia: The Fool

In Asia, both men and women, tend, to very much, think, like the Fool. Thinking in, a manner, suggesting, they don't know, or cant remember, something. Very common, around the world, due, to the universal, education system. A good example, of the Fool, is Jim Carey.

The Middle East: The Magus

In the Middle East, men and women, tend, to very much think, like the Magus. This means, thinking, in a manner, whereby, one, theorizes, just about, everything. One attempts, to create, a logical structure, to every problem. If deciding, to go, to the store [with fear of its closing], the King would ask, if there is another, open store around. The Queen, would act, assertive, with regards, to making it. The Clown, would ponder, whether, they really need, to go to the store; the Joker, would wonder, of the aftermath, of failing, to reach, the store, in time. The Fool, would wonder, if they can really, make it, or not [somewhat based, on past experiences; thoughts of traffic and even parking]. The Magus, would theorize, with regards, to a, replacement. A good example, of the Magus, would be, Micheal Jackson [you need to be a Magus, to dance, like Michael Jackson].


And that in all, kind of summarizes, what it means, to be a human, and human nature [thought patterns], itself. In summary though, worship, of Goddesses, and Gods, led to different, relations, with ones, Parental figures; Mother figures, were associated with, during, any, entertainment function [like dinners, parties, sunday afternoons etc.] Father figures, were mainly encountered, when, they needed, assistance, of some kind.

NB: For those, who might have, difficulty, dealing with, Goddess figures, another replacement, would be, to live by, Guiding Principles. Guiding Principles, are based, on, Sacred Scriptures, and Sacred Teachings, and in many ways, have, their origins, in understanding, the inner workings, of the Universe [the so called, Feminine Principle]. Dante Alighieris, Divine Comedy and Vita Nuova, are works, heavily based, on, Guiding Principles. Even then, one still needs, a Mother figure, in ones life, for basic mothering e.g. what to eat, when and how long to sleep, when to go out & where, and the likes. Goddesses, are great for this. Without a Mother figure, Father figure, and even, an Ergo [thought pattern], one becomes, a, more or less, damaged individual [totally messed up]. An individual, always living, in fear, and even, having fears, of enslavement, and survival itself [despite even, being, a success]. If you know, these three identities well, then one, can always feel, confident, with regards, to pursuing, just about, any form, of, success, out there [many out there, believe, having sex (a woman in ones life), is the only way, to gain, such confidence (very primitive and backward in thinking; stone age mentalities)].

William



It was hard really, difficult in a sense, trying, to find, a good photo, of William. Many in public view, did not really, in any way I believe, really represent, him, as he really is. Lots of mature looking photos, and none really, that really say, William. The above is it I think, but however really, one does get, the impression, that, William, would make, for a great, Officer, in the Royal militaries. Thats kind of whom, he really looks like. And Harry, one cannot think William, without thinking, Harry too. Always saw Harry, as a kind of, very, common sense folk [despite what most believe], a person, who would even, make me, Prime Minister, if I did approach him, with a great, idea, on how to, reform, English society. Also did see, Harry, and William, ruling England, together [as in a tag team], but in many ways, a brighter future, would be, one, with William, as King of England, and Harry, as, the leader, of the M16.

Orlando

On a mission, to investigate, the paranormal [not as a source, of ideas, but as the source, of evil itself (in the form of evil spirits)].

Mirror, Mirror........

............. on the wall,
who's the prettiest,
of them all.

The above paraphrase, is acquainted, to many, who are well read, on fairy tales. Its a also a paraphrase, known to many [via the media really], and is rather taken, lightly, as a form of slight entertainment, before a mirror, and before, the advent, of something, big happening [later on].

Mirrors, are a rather, mysterious, form, of necessities, as regarding, their origins. Many know of them, but don't, really know, where, mirrors, really came from. Mirrors, are believed, to have come, into existence, with the Angel beings [glassy angels]. It is they, who are believed, to have brought, mirrors, into this world. One might think, marvelous, with regards, to all this, but not be aware, that mirrors, do pose, a kind, of danger. There are many, superstitions, associated, with mirrors, the most famous, being, that the breaking, of one, brings along, 7 years, of, bad luck. The real danger however, with mirrors, is that, they can, very much, affect, our core beliefs [the beliefs we hold, in our psyches, about, ourselves, and environments]. When you look, into, a mirror, one should realize, that, thoughts held, about, oneself/environments, while doing so, can be, programmed, into, ones core beliefs. In general, what is been said, is that, mirrors, can distort, ones, core beliefs, on oneself, and environments, simply, by looking, into them, and holding, certain thoughts. The even, bigger problem, is that, most mirrors, do not, offer, a true, reflection, of one. As a result, many, have a distorted, image, of how, they really look like [one can see, how mirrors, are distortful, by looking, into a mirror, with the use, of natural light, and artificial; the image reflected, tends to be different]. If one seeks, to truly see, how, they look like, a reflection, from, a window pane, would be, the way to go.

Mirroring, is a form, of activity, whereby, one attempts, to very much, act, like another, in just about, three ways: thoughts, sentiments, and allusions. It is through, ones Godly being, that others, can very well, emulate one, making one, believe, that they, and you, are of one Mind. If someone, is capable, of emulating you, at the, Godly being level, then, in many ways, they can, imprint, thoughts, into ones, core beliefs. Its a kind of witchcraft, that can be, highly damaging, with regards, to manipulation. If a person, can know, and hold, ones thoughts, sentiments and allusions, they can, very well too, program, ones core beliefs.

The Godly being, is itself, associated, with another, form, of Time. Time, as often, described, as being, an Age, Era, or Aeon [decade, generation, century and the likes]. Each of them, is about, Balance [Peace], Harmony, and Unity, respectively, and is a concept, of Time, heavily associated, with, women [as in the Elizabethan Age]. What characterizes, this concept of Time, are cycles [as seen too, with womens menstrual cycles], of ups and downs [rollercoaster], darkness and light, and finally, strong bonds and weak bonds [seasonal in nature]. This concept of Time, is heavily, associated, with what, they call, Spiritualism. Spiritualism [and not Spirituality], is a religious practise, associated, with the Godly being, and mainly, only practised, by women. It is a form, of, religious practise, heavily associated, with, worshipping, spirit beings, who affect, women, through their cycles, and in many ways, affecting, the world, via, these up and down, cycles. In general, what is been said, is that, it is women, who make, the world, go round [up and down, and the likes]. In some cases, women, who don't, practise, Spiritualism, might be inflicted, with an, evil spirit, leading, to witchcraft. This infliction, is more likely, to happen, during, a womans, menstrual cycle. A good source, in all this [as Spiritualism is often, a secret practise], is, "Our Mothers, our powers, our texts: manifestation of Aje in Africana Literature" by Teresa Washington. Spiritualism, as seen, in Nigeria.

The practise, of Spiritualism, and the Time, embodied by it, very much too, helped, women, create, this concept, of Time, as seen through, Calendars. In many ways, women, planning, the lives of others, or a community. This was mostly done, through, the study, of, astronomy, and astrology. For those, who don't, experience, this concept, of Time, life, appears, to be very much, a standstill. For those, without, the right women, in their lives, certain practises, such as, the old, French Kardecism [which is about, the worship, of famed Ancestral spirits], helps one, create, these cycles, of up and down. Kardecism like practises, are often, for example, associated, with priest figures. In many ways, Kardecism, is similar, to French Iconography worship.

Futurism

Science fiction, is one of those, genres, that most, just, don't take, seriously, with the exception, of, George Orwells, 1984. In many ways, Futurism today, is often, associated, with the, Western world. It is they, who attempt, to define, the future, as mainly, consisting, of, technological gadgets, of all kinds. A future, many, tend to find, gruesome, and even, worrying. There are others, like the Japanese, who also attempt, to define, the future, from, the perspective, of Technological marvels [such as robots], and in many ways, this is where, Japan, becomes, a part, of the, Western world [what the future holds].

In most other cultures, attempting, to define the future, has always occurred, via the use of Oracles. Oracles, used, to attempt, to see, into, the future, and in many ways, avert, disaster, of all kinds. While Oracles, work well, in individual formations, when it comes, to, group formations, they often, become, troublesome, and cannot, really, be used, to foresee, the future. In many cases though, priests [of the witchdoctor kind], often saw, visions, of the future, and warned, the people, about them [Africa has a huge, tradition, of this]. In most other parts, of the world, more advanced really, like China, one sees, the prevalence, of, Wizards, who did, the same thing.

There is however, a third way, of telling, the future, and it involves, the use, of, futurists, known as, Visionaries. They see, the future, from the perspective, of what, could be, and then, tell [or write], marvelous stories, about them. Visionaries, were most, often, seen in the Roman Civilization, and even, America. What Visionaries, do really, is attempt, to come up, with word, descriptors, that can be used, to envision, a future; word descriptors, like, Fab, Grand, Majestic, Magnificence, and even, Opulence. Understanding, what these words, mean, helps one, envision, a higher ground [or level], of civilization [and success], that one, can, aim for. If you are living, Fab now, you might wish, to aim, for, Grand. Thats kinda what, dreams, are made of.

The following below, are a selection, of titles, that movie afficiandos, out there, might probably, like to watch, with regards, to futurism. The movies, don't probably tell, of future stories, but one, can say, they attempt, to create, future worlds, that one, can aim for, with regards, to living. In short, they show, kinda what, the future, might look like.

Gods - Star Wars [best the new series] [East Asian/Southeast Asian, tensions]




Shapeshifts - Eyes Wide Shut [not the best selection, but one, of Shapeshifts, as mainly, Air beings]




Jinni - Dracula




Gargoyles - Harry Potter [Gargoyles in England]




The Constellations of Elves, Dwarves and Men - The Brothers Grimm




Angels - The Chronicles of Narnia




Light beings - The Pirates of the Carribean [mostly personalities] [KK]




Daemons - The Golden Compass
