Lawrence of Arabia



The 'Age' of Disenchantment:

When we speak, of, the 'Age' of Disenchantment, we are in many ways speaking, of the, Conscious States, that inhabit really, our, Conscious living [as mainly, having to do, with, Awareness]. That in many ways really, most of us out there, are unaware, of whom we are really, as with, our Conscious beings, and are therefore, not truly, aware, of our existences, as they, really are [they in all, cannot, really see, the turmoil, and angst really, that, surround us all].

To understand this better, is to speak, of, what, some refer to really, as the Undercurrents, of, life itself [Undercurrents really, that call for, total Awareness]. That in many ways, there is, what, one would call, a General Theme, to life in itself, that pervades, just about, everything, and in many ways too, is believed, to, transcend, Time itself. These General Theme, can probably, best be described, by understanding, what, they refer to, as, our True Selfs [Selfs really, that have to do, with, our, 'Exclaiming' Self]. What this all means really, as with True Selfs perhaps, is basically talk, of whom we are, when something, out, of the ordinary, happens to us, leading us in many ways, to exclaim [in total shock], at what, has just, happened, and in many ways too, revealing, the person, many, believe, to be, our, very True Selfs.

We live today, mainly, in a 'Europeanized' World (as mainly with, American based Europeans); what this really means, is that, our Conscious beings, are, today, heavily influenced, by, Environments, that in many ways, have us, in, States of Disenchantment [ all around]. What this really means again too, is that, when, the totally shocking, does happen, we in many ways, tend, to be, disenchanted [as with, aggravated really]. In many ways too, we probably wonder, why, such a thing, would happen at all. A fuller understanding of this, calls for, knowing really, that in, Europe, General Themes of life (as with, Awareness really, and the Conscious being), is heavily, shaped, by what, they call, Enchantment [as perhaps, with, being mesmerized]. In many ways, if living in Europe, one is supposed, to rise, to levels, of Enchantment (as with being, mesmerized), in all really, with truly, appreciating, life, for what, it really is [as mainly, with, Awareness, and Self-Awareness too].

When we it was said, that we live, in, 'Europeanzed' Environments, it was meant too, that, our States of Awareness, are highly, associated, with being, Disenchanted (as meaning really, that, at any moment, when one, today, becomes, aware of their Environments, they in general, feel, aggravated in all) [all this, as mentioned, just above, due, to living, in, European-like Spaces]. In other Regions of the World, one finds that, the, General Themes, of life, are rather, different, and one, has to connect with them, in order really, to feel, really, connected, with Time itself [as these General Themes, pervade, Time in itself, in that, despite, things changing (as with Time really), nothing, really, does ever change (as with, Enchantment really, as an example)]. In North America, one finds that, total Awareness, has to do, with, being, Enthralled (an orgasmic high) in all. In South America, it has to do, with being, Bedazzled (as with, being, totally disengaged). In Europe, it is about, being, Enchanted (mesmerized really), and in Africa, it has to do, with, Amazement (as with being, wonder filled). In South East Asia, total Awareness, calls for, being, Dazed (as with totally, losing control), while in East Asia, its about, being, Stunned (as with, being blinded perhaps). In the Middle East though, total Awareness, has to do, with, being Magnetized (as really, with being, totally blank, mentally perhaps).

In accessing, our total Conscious states, in many ways, calls for, accessing, ourselves, as, a Primal being; In many ways, as, a hominidal Evolutionary being. This in all too, is about, accessing, what, they call, our, True Selfs, as with, our, 'Exclaiming' Selfs [as, Civilized Hominid, is in many ways, believed, to have been, associated, with, 'Humanity', as based really, on Exclaiming, as a Human would do]. In an attempt, to guide one, in discovering, their, True Selfs, is to perhaps, best, associate, our 'Exclaiming' Selfs, with, certain, Animal life forms [as was, shown, in, the 'The Search for Truth' entry; examples being, associating, North Americans, with, the Eagle, and the Middle East, with, the Hawk].


In all, what has really happened today, is that, our cultures (civilization), as with, Testimonials, States, and Experiences, have come, to be, highly defined (wrongly that is), by, Disenchantment (aggravation in all really), rather than, by, our, Psyches [as with, Doctrines, Religious Works, and, Ethical Works even]. We are, in general, beings, that are, always today, in loud (or silent forms even), of exclaiming, and mainly in general exclaiming always (as with perhaps, any event that happens in all), and what this does, in general, is make us, what, some call, 'Psychologically Messed up' [in all, that, we are always, in, perpetual, States of Denial] [civilization/culture, as with Psyche, speaks of, Environments, that call upon, 'long term memory', 'feelings', and, finally, 'physical reality' (as with, material/physical states really)].


Lawrence of Arabia, arrives, in the Middle East, as a, Mercenary, sent by, the British, to, infiltrate, in many ways, the, power structures, seen, in the Middle East (and especially, the, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia). It is a task, that proves, rather, difficult [as mainly, with, Ascetic Religious Thought in all], as encountering, 'Arabs' in all, leads hm, to be, enchanted perhaps, by, the Power and Influence, of Islam (Shi'a really), as with, Ascetic Religious Thought. It is then, with time, as with learning, more, about 'Arabs', and 'Islam' too, that he begins, to become, aware, of his own, rather, irrectitude (immoral really), states, of inhabitation really, that have, come, to define him, very much, as, a Modern Westerner [in all really, that, Disenchantment/aggravation, is the, main, defining experience really (in its various forms - energy levels), of, Western civilization]. In the Middle East, he is met, with, wander (magnetism in all), at how, 'Islam' in all, does, operate and function [as especially, with, Islamic Religious Thought].

In many ways too, it is recognized, that, Religious Thought, in all, differs, in the different, Regions, of the World [as with having, a basis, in Ascetic Religious Thought]; and that, while, in the Middle East, Islamic Religious Thought, is highly, associated, with, Persona Development, in other Regions of the World, this, is not really so [North America, it being, having, to do (Religious Thought that is), with, Money/Wealth accumulation (as defining, God like Civilization); South America, with, Acculturation, and Europe, with, Philosophy/Thought; Africa, with History (in the making), and South East Asia, with, Status (acquired), and finally East Asia, with, Family oriented Evolution (as with, Family Trees, and Individual growth, as mainly to do, with, our True Selfs)].

Lawrence of Arabia, sought to redefine, himself (as with Transformation really), by forgoing, any, internalized really, Western Philosophy/Thought [Dogma in all], associated, with, issues, of Disenchantment/aggravation (of perhaps, a, Europe gone, to ruins, as with Culture really), and many, too, Survival issues [as with, perhaps, attempting, to maintain, the, living standards, associated, with, European Civilization, by, the Western world]. He redefines [transforms himself really], as with, the Psyche mainly [and Conscious states too], in two major ways: with Conscious States, he becomes, one, with Ummah (the Feminine Principle) [and in many ways too, becoming, a rather, magnetic figure in all]; with the Psyche/civilization [and in many ways too, Religious Thought in all], he seeks, to redefine, himself, from, the perspective, of, Persona (rather than, Philosophy/Thought), by developing it, to, its fullest, as with, the following (and freeing himself too, from, Western disenchantment/aggravation states): He seeks out, Transcendence, as with, Testimonials really, by attempting, to embody in all (in meaning really), what, the Holy Mosque at Medina, partly, symbolizes in all (i.e. becoming, a Messenger of Allah; a perspective, of, Lawrence *of Arabia*, that many, falsely, associate, with him, being, a, Western/British Mercenary). He also seeks out, Transcendence too, as with, living States, by, attempting, to embody in full, what, the Hawk, represents, to, the Middle East (as with, our, very, True Selfs); Finally, he also seeks out, Transcendence, as with, Self-Expression really, by attempting, to fully, embody, an anciently known, Desert Goddess (commonly known, by Sufis, as, 'Allat Ruh Sakinah'), as totally, embodying, what, true (to heart), Self-Expression, is really, all about (the same Goddess, associated, in the Middle East, with, 'the Sands of Time'/Change, Creativity, and, Money in all too).

In all truly, he came really, to embody, what a true, conversion, to Islam, is really, all about [as in, he became, a 'Messenger of Allah', within, one lifetime] (and by living too, a highly, disciplined life, and guided too, by, 'Prince' Faisal, the current, Pasha, of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).
