Themes of Life

The Themes of Life, refers to really, filler material in all, that, simply, fills out, the empty, or, blank spaces, in, our lives. Blank spaces, that should be filled, with, 'Sounds', of Tranquility, Serenity or even, Peacefulness, but instead, are filled out, by, all kinds, of, noises, that are, disturbing, or even, aggravating, to say the least and in many ways too, make Life, seem, rather mundane, and in general, lacking, interest. A rather perhaps, difficult notion, to speak off [or spell out really], but Themes in all, are in all ways, similar, to what, Soundtrack, movie themes, are, to the movies [filler material, that in many ways too, helps, drive forward, the movie/story itself]. In many ways too, the Themes of Life, are strongly associated with, the evolutionary forces, of, Laughter, Crying and, Grief [being moved to experience, any of these, so as to grow in, one form or another]. In many ways in all, Life, very much, should be like, that, in, a beautiful painting, with its moods and atmospheres, and not, like, the noisy street environments, we today, inhabit, that, in most ways, tend to, affect, Life, in a way, not seen, in the past: Interruptions, Delays and, Breaks [all affecting Tranquility, Serenity and Peacefulness, respectively]. 

We shall classify, these Themes, not according to, Culture, Cultural Identities, and, civilization, as they have previously somewhat, been classified, but with regards really, to, Higher Beings, Continental Identities (Peoples), and finally, Material Existences. We shall show, how these, three, are better, definers, of Themes in Life, than those, of, Culture, Cultural Identities, and, civilization, by attempting to breakdown, Themes, into, their various parts: Higher Beings: Moods, Temperaments and Atmospheres Continental Identities (Peoples): Rhythms, Joys and Sorrows Material Existences: Sounds, Noises and Airs That in all, what is been said is that when, most, are totally, unsatisfied with Life, as it is, today, its because, of Themes [as extrapolated], just above. That in all, in todays World, all the above, are, pretty much, messed up, due mainly, not, to their traditional basis, on Culture, Cultural Identities, or even civilization, but due mainly, to, the open/obvious, mixing, of different cultures, which, in all, result, in, poor blends (of Themes), and affecting the above, mentioned, factors, considerably. 

The importance of Themes, are not only that, they, are, at the heart, of, Enthusiasm itself, in our lives [and in general, enforcing it, as they, are, very much too, associated with, forces, strongly linked to, Astrology, and of course, the, evolutionary forces, themselves]. In all, Themes are required, to help, uplift our Souls, to greater, levels [as Gospel music, attempts to do], and in many ways tell us, that, in all, Life, is supposed, to be, grand, and, a great Journey, of a kind. For those, totally unhappy about Life in general [as with thinking, too, that, Suicide, is an option with no, consequences, at all], then one, should know, that, the main problem they really face is that of Themes, and that begin transforming, ones Life, best begins, by, the perhaps, challenging [or even, difficult], task, of changing, the Themes, in, ones life. Below, will be the attempt to do this, in, a possible, simplistic manner, as, the changing of Themes, as mentioned just above, is not, that easy, but probably, can be, if, viewed, from the, perspective, of, Higher Beings, Continental Identities/Peoples, and even, Material Existences [and not, Culture, Cultural Identities, and, civilization, which can be, rather difficult to change, as, with problem solving]. In most ways, distorted Themes result in, environments [such as, modern, Cities], filled with, all forms, of, radiation [in the form really, of distortions], making many, eventually, want to, flee them, for, greener pastures [as with, small/mid-size towns] [Radiation in all that can be, harmful, to ones, physical body processes, and even, mental faculties]. 

Higher Being Themes: As just mentioned, not only Themes, linked to, Moods, Temperaments and Atmospheres, but also in all help to, deal, with, issues, springing up from, environments/themes, that, tend to, arouse, Arguments, Fights and, Provocations, of all kinds [in many ways, all these, today, aroused by, improper mixing, of, Cultures together]. The Themes mentioned here, are inspired, by, Philosophical works, of, various kinds:

Gargoyles: 'The Works of William Congreve: Three Volume Set' [Byzantine works].

 

Jinni: 'Christopher Marlowe Complete Plays' & 'The Complete Poems and Translations' by Christopher Marlowe.

Light beings: 'The Faerie Queene' by Edmund Spenser. 

 

Shapeshifts: 'The Complete English Poems by George Herbert' & 'The Complete Poems by Andrew Marvel'. 

 

Gods: 'The Rover and Others Plays by Aphra Behn' & 'The Country Wife and other Plays by William Wycherley' [works inspired 'perhaps', by, the Greek Gods].

 

Daemons: 'The Alchemist and other Plays by Ben Johnson' & 'Major Works by Jonathan Swift'.

The Constellations: 'She Stoops to Conquer and other Comedies by Oliver Goldsmith' & 'Four Revenge Tragedies by Katharine Eisaman Maus'.

Esicrucian Man: 'Tis Pity she's a Whore and other plays by John Ford' & 'Samuel Johnson: The Major Works by Samuel Johnson'. 

Continental Identities (Peoples) Themes: Continental identities, or Identities really, that, identify, what they call, the Peoples, of a Continent, are not, only, about, Rhythms, Joys and Sorrows [associated with, the Peoples (all of them, rich or poor; white or black), but are also, Identities, if not, well formulated, lead to, all sorts, of, Crimes, Violence and, Feuding [in all]. Crime, Violence and Feuding, not really, Political in nature but, mainly, Religious [as with, a, whole Continent] [Cultural Identities, lead only to, Political based, Crime, Violence, and Feuding] [The Religious types, of all these (Crime et. al.), are seen, to be, more, philosophical in nature (sane), than, the Political type]. These Identities, are probably, best formulated, via, listening, to the, Folk music, associated, intimately, with, ones Region [Folk music, that in most ways, speaks of, Rhythms, Joys and Sorrows (rather than watching, too much, Television)]: 

North America: Mexican Folk Music

[Perhaps, not enough, has been, said, of America and Mexico, other than, Wars, Feuding, and, even, Inter-border Romance; Yet still, one does find that, while Americans erroneously (as with, Canadians too), associate, their 'Folk selfs', with, Irish cultures, St. Patricks day, and especially, Boston, Americans (and Canadians too) really, as with Rhythms, Joys and Sorrows, are more, in tandem, with, Mexican Mariachi music (and especially, La Bamba/Los Lobos), than anything, by, an O'Reilly, O'Toole, or even, O'Harty]. 

South American: Bolivian Folk Music 

[Bolivia, and not, Peru, is at the heart, of, South American, Joys, Sorrows, and, Rhythms] 

Europe: Irish Folk Music 

[Irish Folk, should not be, confused, with, Celtic music (an example being, the, Dubliners); Fleetwood Mac though, is more or less, Irish (or Irish-American/Arthurian America); 'Shipping up to Boston', is more or less too, mostly, Irish folk] 

Africa: Lingala music

[

Despite the belief, in Africa, being, a heavily Musically inclined, Continent, most of its music, has, always been, rather, Religious, in nature. Lingala music, can be, ascribed, as being, more, of a, Folk music, than, popular music, as no, other music, unites, the African continent, together, with tales, speaking of, African Rhythms, Joys, and Sorrows, than Lingala (including, Coup de Boule)] 

Afrique: Symphonic Rock

[Perhaps, a rather, shocking, if not, highly surprising, entry; To understand this choice, is to know, and, understand, two things: first, that, the prevalent belief, that, Afrique, has been occupied, since, the beginnings of time (due to stories, of, Ancient Egyptians, sailing down there), is, mainly false. The only people, who did, develop, Civilization, in one form, or, another, in Afrique, where, the Swahili, and, the Aksumite/Nubians, in, Northern Ethiopia. Other peoples, one would call, Indigenous perhaps (such as, the Plain Nilotes), never did, fully, develop, a legitimate, way of life, and were, in many ways, wanderers, whose only, culture, truly consisted of, an Oral history. It was actually, the Victorians in Kenya, who did, come to develop, a way of life, seen, not only, in, Kenya, but also, very much, defining, the, general way of life in, both, Ethiopia, and, Somalia [Many Somalis (or Somaals), were actually, part, of the, Swahili Civilization; the others, came from, Aksum]. Second off, Symphonic Rock, in the form of, Ballads, was actually, the, kind of, music, sang/associated, with, the Victorians, in, Kenya (as with, Meatloaf, for example)] 

South East Asia: Punjab Folk Music

[India, without, Punjabi culture, is like, an India, without, Curry] 

East Asia: Taiwanese Folk Music

[When you think, Cool East Asians, you really, want to think, Taiwanese, and not, Japanese, or even, Korean (South)] 

The Middle East: Arabian Folk Music

[Perhaps, a perceived, surprising, or even, politically inclined, entry, by those, whom, immediately, acquaint the words, Middle East, above, with, Islamic/Byzantine; and while, the Islamic/Byzantine world, does mesh, with others, it is, the Arabians, of, Saudi Arabia, that have, come, to define, the spirit, of, the Middle East (as with the Soul), more, than, any other, Peoples] 

Material Existences Themes: Material Existences Themes, were previously, associated, with, the Sounds, Noises and Airs, seen, in ones environments. The belief that, the kind, of materials, used, to make, ones, Material Culture can, in many ways, disturbingly, affect one, sensually speaking as, with the case, of, shiny materiality making one, feel, nauseous. Material Existences though, as with, Themes, are also, associated, with, seeking out, Intimacy [respect, acceptance, attention], in ones life [especially, through Pop cultures, associated, with, the Materiality]. Below, will be presented, various, Pop cultures, which, can be used, to create, Intimacy, in our lives, and in many ways too, directly/indirectly, influence, our Environments [not only, from, the perspectives, of Noises (etc.), heard, but also, from, the perspective, of, defining, the Materiality itself (as with, Styling, Finishing, or even, Trimming)]. 

The Pop cultures presented here below, have their origins mainly, in, America; this should not, be a cause, of disapproval, or surprise even, as, America, is reknowed, for, creating, Pop cultures, some, which do catch, a fire, and spread, all over; many though, never do, get popular really, or even, become, commercially successful (in any way), but could be, of great use to others, out there, in helping, them, develop, Intimacy [Interestingly enough, America, is a country, reknowed mainly, for, having, Intimacy issues (even, within, relationships)]. 

North America: Country cultures and Country Rock Music

South America: Iberian culture and Hip Hop music

 

[Probably, a totally shocking, surprise (especially if one, was to think, Castro, or even, Chavez), but in many ways, some forms, of, Hip hop music, do go, very well, with, Iberian culture (an example, being, OG Rap). Yet still, perhaps, a controversial choice, but it is also, very much, believed that, South Americans, can do way, much better, with, this Art form, than, North Americans (who heavily, depend on, good production facilities)] 

Brittania: Normandy and Spanish/Acoustic Guitar 

France: Arabe and Lounge music

[Lounge music, can in many ways, be classified, as, Classical RnB, and consists often, of a, 4-piece band (Piano, Drums, Guitar and, Singer). Good examples include, Bryan McKnight, Vanessa Williams, and even, Mylene Farmer] [One should realize that, the purpose too, of these, Pop cultures, is to, provide, filler sounds (in many ways), to everyday, life/living. In all, these Pop cultures, should not, be, heavily, commercialized; truly needed, for a France, today, heavily imbued, with, African noises, and sounds] 

Western Europe: Bavarian-Nordic and Rock Music

Central Europe: Castilian cultures and British Pop Music

[From the Beatles, to, the Spice Girls, to Sade, to, Daniel Bedingfield, to Seal, to, Amy Winehouse, and even, Duffy, to Oasis & Leona Lewis, and even, Michael Jackson; the list, is in many ways, rather endless] 

Eastern Europe: Austro-Hungarian Empire and Metal Music

 

[Basketball, does go, way much better, with Metal Music, than with Hip Hop Music] 

Scandinavia: Prussian cultures and Pop Rock Music

[Other such acts, include, Roxette, and even, Pearl Jam] 

Africa: Haute Couture/Western cultures and Reggae Music

Afrique: Victorian cultures and Grunge Rock

[Sugar Ray, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and even, Guns 'n' Roses] [Suits the Moods, Noises, Atmospheres, Sounds, and even, Rhythms, of Nature, seen, in Afrique, rather than, Reggae Music] 

South East Asia: The British Raj and Bhangra Music

[Bhangra Music, actually, has its origins, in, East Africa. Apache Indian, 'was', an Indian, of, East African origins] 

East Asia: Heian cultures and Blues Music

[The House of Blues; Better, than, Karaoke] 

The Middle East: French TriColour and Neo-Soul Music

[From K'naan, to Talib Kweli and even, The Roots]

Perceval

Osiris as Christ

Thoughts on the Higher Self and Life's Journey

The whole purpose, of this entry, is to present, to people, with no visible light to what, entails life (in itself), and in many ways too, present really, a conceptual framework, from which they can, envision themselves, and their sole purpose here, on Earth [other than, the unanimous belief that, we are here, to get back, into Heaven]. For those with this, sole belief [of Life, as a Journey, back (surprisingly), to Heaven], Life in many ways, is made out to be, a road traveled (in difficulty), back to Heaven [as taught perhaps by Jesus, and his teachings that, there are only, two roads on earth, back to Heaven: one difficult and hard, and rather narrow too, and leading, back to Heaven itself, and the other, rather wide, and easy, to travel on, but leading, straight, to hell]. Others who hold, and espouse, similar beliefs believe that, Life, is one, of pain, and suffering, as really with, living it, and then on one day, fully being pampered, and pleasured too, in Heaven, with pleasure on Earth really, seen, in many ways, as, a sin, to be avoided [in many ways too, this is really, an interesting question, as to what, should constitute, pain and pleasure, as with religion, and getting back, to Heaven]. For many too, an envy, of European Civilization, did exist, due to its rather, perceived, painless and pleasure filled, existence, with many believing, that, Europeans, were on an easy road back, to Heaven [without taking into account, the strongfelt presence of, Love itself, and how, it can immediately, extinguish one (forever), from the Earth itself, if not, properly, dealt with].

What do we make of life? Are there only three primary, definitions to it? How do we define, our sojourn, on Earth (as with difficulty, and hardness)? What does constitute, pain and pleasure really? And what in itself is the, Highest Ideal sought out, as our possibly, fullest, potential, here on Earth, and capable too, of taking us, up, to the Heavens?

Below, we shall present answers, from, 5 main Civilizations, as to what, constitutes, life in itself. Some of these views are already known, and will not be a surprise really, with the exception perhaps, of, their origins. Interestingly enough, no Asian Civilization features here, as interestingly enough too, Asian Civilizations, developed, Philosophies (and Thought), that enabled them, only, to survive, in Asia. In many ways too, it is being said, that, not only can't you, apply, Asian Philosophy, in dealing with, other people, out there [outside Asia that is], but also too, that, Asian Philosophy and Thought, is somewhat, rather, time dependent, and does not, always, stand, the test of time.

The 5 Civilizations are:

1. Egyptian
2. Greek
3. Roman
4. Islamic
5. Italian

The last entry, might surprise many, who believe, that, Italy, was a country in Europe, simply similar in many ways, to, France, but in reality, it differed greatly, from even, European Civilization, and one can even say, developed, its own Art world. Italian Civilization is rather longstanding, and has its roots, in, Graecian/Greek Civilization [the Italy, of Michelangelo Buonarotti and Mural Art/Sistine Chapel]. It is then followed, by a period known as, Roma [and the Italian High Renaissance], from which, alot, of, Italian Philosophy, is born into, and in many ways too, the construct, of, the Roman Church [as with a Pope, representing, God on Earth], is also born to, which in many ways, influences, European History, in, unknown proportions [the Latin Church never did, invent, the concept, of, the Pope]. Finally, you enter, a final stage, where, Italian Civilization, is highly represented, by, its Art work, and in many ways too, referred to, as Italia, and in many ways also too differing, from the rest, of Europe [they being Greek, and Italia, Egyptian], with the use, of, the Egyptian God, Bes, heavily driving, Italian Art [France, on the other hand, was heavily, driven, by the Greek Goddess Diana, as with representing, the, Highest Ideal, as with Love really] [The Italy in all, of, Caravaggio].

In many ways too, what prevents, most from seeing, Italy, as a Civilization is the false, belief, of them, being, an Ethnicity [as with, Al Pacino, or even, Ralph Macchio], but truth be said, Italy, housed, many other populations, from the likes, of, Jon Bon Jovi, Keira Knightley, and even finally too, Lenny Kravitz.

As an intro to all this though, let us begin, by looking, into, how, the above 5, mentioned Civilizations, dealt with, the issue, of, our Sojourn, here, on Earth. In many ways really, what did, constitute the Life experience, as to living out, Life, in itself.

Egyptian: The Egyptians, heavily lived, religious lives, despite, the beliefs of most [that Egypt, was in most ways, a party based, experience]. Their Religion, was rather difficult in nature, and their lives in general, followed, a Life path, that some to this day, still, circumscribe too [the prevalent belief, of struggling, during ones youth, and one day, living, totally free]. In many ways, it is they, who gave, birth, to the prevalent belief, in, struggling here on Earth and then, finally going, to a Heaven, where, one, is totally, free, and happy.

Greek: The Greeks, in many ways, chose, to live Life, rather differently, from, the Egyptians, and their lives [unlike the Egyptians really], were heavily, steeped, in Mythology [Egyptian Mythology, was more, of, the attaining success type, and not, similar, to Greek, which in many ways, encompassed, Mythology, associated, with, Religiousity, and living out, a Mythic life for instance, totally based, on, Kindness perhaps (and Tragedy too)]. In all, they sought, to experience Life, to, its utmost depths [as with feelings and emotions]. At the end of it all, they very, much, became, a Symbol [as with Jung's works perhaps].

Roman: The Romans, heavily believed, in, making real, a Vision, not, of a Heaven, or a Paradise even, but, what one would call, an Eden, an Utopia, or even, a Shangri-la. All these, heavily associated too, with, the worship, of, the Egyptian Goddess, Ma'at, and in many ways too, representing, worlds, free, of all forms, of, pain, struggle, and, sufferance to it [in many ways, creating these, Visions, eventually saw, the, Civilization, rise, to the Heavens]. In all, Thought, that came, to, heavily influence, Western civilization, in a rather, disastrous manner [as with, damaging, Nature, itself].

Islamic: The Islamic world, gave birth, to the belief of, living Life to, its utmost, as having done, just as much, as possible [as one could do], and then, coming, to the realization, that, there was nothing, more, left to do really. All had been done, and nothing, left, unsaid [all totally based, on, ones creativity and beliefs, and asking really, what, is possible, and what is not, as, Physicists, often, attempt to do]. This is rather difficult, to explain, as it is, the, Islamic world, that gave, birth, to the beliefs, that, after, this world, comes, another, where, we continue living on [Indian beliefs, similar to this, actually, stem from, Mughal/Islamic India]. As one can see, this is a, rather, prevalent thought pattern and was not, held to be true, by, other Civilizations, unless, one comes to understand, and believe that, the, Earth, being magical (in its own right), signifies really, that what, happens to one after life on this Earth, is in many ways, left totally, to, human design.

Italian: The Italian world gave birth to the belief (rarely known really), of creating, a, Paradise, here on Earth. Paradises, heavily differ, from, Heavens, in that, while, Heavens, are associated with, the best of things, happening, to one, Paradises, are associated with, the meeting/interacting, of, the most (perhaps), superior, of beings. Beings, who can awe one, with, Intelligence, Humour, Creativity, and even finally too, Love itself. In many ways, beliefs, that gave birth, to, concepts, of the Good Samaritan, and even, the, Sinless being, and finally too, the, rather famed, Love of ones life. In many ways, believing Life, to be a Paradise meant really not ever, wanting it, to end, and in many ways really, similar, to living Life, as in a rather, good movie. Thought patterns really, held secretly, by many individuals [the Victorians, did espouse this belief], and in many ways, a prevalent belief, that, life on this earth, was limited, as with mainly, understanding, the Ages, their passings, and in all, a period marking, the very end, to Life, on this Earth [Not to be confused, with, similar, Indian beliefs, stemming from, the Islamic/Mughal world, and basically, scientific in nature, as to what, each, Age (Iron, Silver etc.), brings with it (scientifically)].


The next question often asked, of life on Earth, is how, do we, define, Pain and Pleasure, and in many ways, what, is considered, Right or Wrong. Different Civilizations dealt, with this question, rather differently [to fully understand this though, is to know, that, the Ancients, never did, speak, of this, directly, but instead, sought, to give others, a picture, of, the greatest, possible hell, and in many ways too incurring in thought, the greatest pleasure, possible too]:

Egyptian: It is the Egyptians, who gave birth, to the belief, in a hell (on earth really), of, Civilizations, totally decaying, and, falling apart on Earth, and Earth itself, roamed, by all kinds, of beings, rather evil in their natures. Beings who for instance, killed, with impunity, and in many ways too, the world, envisioned, by, the directors, of, the Mad Max movies. In many ways too, a hell, referred to, as, an Apocalypse [and seen, in the Book of Revelation, and in the movie too, Apocalypse Now]. The belief too, that a Saviour, 'would' come, to save the Earth, and restore, Civilization, to its rightful place [as with, the One].

Greek: It is the Greeks, who gave, birth, to the prevalent worldview, of, hell on earth, mainly driven, by, all kinds, of, demons, beasts, devils, and, satan himself. A belief, that not only, were these, creatures, seen in a hell below (hades to some), but they too, in many ways, did make, their way, to, our Earth [to give rise, to havoc]. A rather well known view, but not, totally believed in by many, until perhaps, they do, have, a vision, of hell itself, or even get, to meet, the devil himself. In many ways, the world, of, the Antichrist.

Roman: The Romans, believed really, in, the greatest hell, being what, they call, Armageddon [or simply, the end, of the World itself]. A Catastrophe, really so great, that it totally, wiped out, Life on Earth, as probably best seen, in the movie, the Terminator [as with the beginning only]. In many ways, theirs, was a world, driven, by the belief "Speak no evil, hear no evil, see no evil", as it was, believed by some, that, Evil thoughts [as with a Comet, speeding towards Earth], could give birth, to, a set of events, very much, leading, to Armageddon itself. In many ways, the opposite world, was one, of, totally positive thought [as in defining, pleasure itself].

Islamic: The Islamic world, gave birth, to, the belief, in what, some call, Doomsday. The Doomsday scenario, is one, born, of Judgement day, and the coming, of, a Figure (in the dark of the night, and unseen too), who would Judge, the World, as to whom, was good, and whom, was bad/evil [with the evil, very much, left, abandoned, on Earth (with all the Spirits and Gods/Goddesses, leaving too)]. A world, with nothing to do, and eventually too, steeped, in total Darkness [many associate, part, of these beliefs, with, the Christian world, not knowing them to really be, of Byzantine origins] [The fear of the dark, has its, origins, in the, Islamic/Byzantine world].

Italian: The Italian world, gave birth, to beliefs, in, what, some would call, the Rapture [as with, a disaster, nature based, such as, an Earthquake, happening, to end, the World itself]. In many ways, the world, of Prophecies, proclaiming, the very end, of, the World, and highly too, associated, with, the Feminine/Aje [or simply, Nature, going berserk]. It is the Italian world [as with Roma], that gave birth, to, a prevalent belief really, that, women, were inherently, evil. The world, of Jezebel, and in many ways too, the Quest really (a race against time), to prevent, all, this, from happening [in many ways, the world, of National Treasure, and the belief in an object, that can prevent, all this, from happening, as in helping, diffuse, the Feminine] [In many ways, the Feminine, gives birth, to, many, a dreadful creature, often, known as, trolls, golliwogs, monsters, who appear, to be, docile, friendly, and even, rather, human too (as with looks really), but in most ways really, totally, evil].


We eventually now, settle, into beliefs, regarding really, what, represents really, the, Highest Ideal, as with, regards, to living, Life, on this Earth [most other Civilization, including Chinese only really, concentrated, on this part, and, did not really, think, of the other two]:

Egyptian: For the Egyptians, the Highest Ideal [as really, with representing, human potential], had to do, with, the idea, of Invisibility [the idea really, of the ability, of, a human being, to, disappear, and appear, somewhere else]. That to them, represented, the highest possible potential, of, a human, in the/their world.

Greek: For the Greeks, the highest potential, lay really, with, the ability, for the human being, to fly, on their own [simply jump, and, take off] [Everything else, was considered (as with achievement really), rather, passe, if you could not, really fly].

Roman: The Romans, gave birth, to the belief, in Invincibility [referring really, to the ability, to, defeat, any obstacle really (as with, logic itself), blocking, ones way, as with too, one human, ruling, over, the whole world]. They believed too, in the ability, to defeat, any, living thing, in a Fight, to the very, death [as with, the Gladiators].

Islamic: Those in the Islamic world, believed that, the Highest Ideal, was in many ways, about, becoming, Omnipotent [as with, the ability, to do, anything, at any one time, and even, repeatedly]. The popular world, of being, the greatest lover [as in, attracting, any woman], or even, very much too, the world, of Rambo [of a, one man army, defeating, a whole, army, by himself]. Perhaps though, best represented, by, becoming one, with Umma/the Feminine Principle, and totally, being guided by it, as with, in acting, with, total improvisation [Napolean One, used, the concept, of, Umma, in helping, make France, what it was, and in many ways, waging, War, across Europe, and totally, successful, in just about, all, his battles].

Italian: The Italians, believed, that the Highest Ideal, was, the ability, in many ways, to control, anything, at Will [as with lighting, a piece, of paper, alight (fire), with, ones mind]. In many ways, a belief, that, gave birth, to the probable beliefs, of, time travel, and in many ways too, the belief that, similar power, was wielded, by, the Pope himself. In most ways, defeating, another, by Will (imagination), and not, by, Logic (thought), and in many ways too, the world, of, Gandalf.

The Higher Self:

For most other Civilizations, they sought really, to evolve, on, this Earth, based very much, on, very much becoming, what, they call, the, Higher Self. The Higher Self, has been defined, in many ways, previously, the most famous, perhaps, being, the Egyptian belief, in, an all knowing person [very much too, about, becoming, Pharaoh] [A concept, of the Higher Self, seen too, in, the Islamic world]. For many other Civilizations, the Higher Self, was often represented, in, Symbolic form, and often as, with a Statue (very much, representing, a Human 'God' (as with, a Higher Self), or even, the face, of God itself (and attempting, to become it)]. Other Civilizations, used, Imagery, as with the case of Caesar (and the olive branch) [Imagery too, seen, in the Byzantine world], and even in, certain periods, of, Egyptian history, as with, Osiris.

In many ways, becoming, an Ideal [or the Higher Self], meant that, ones Life, was, over, on this Earth, and one then, moved on, to, the next stage [as defined and seen just above, with, different Civilization] [Akhenaten, known, for his popular bust with him, holding, the Ankh, did become, Osiris, and, did leave, this Earth].

In many ways though, one must truly, know, what the Higher Self really, represents, at its core; in most ways really it does, stand for, seeing, the human, as being Feminine, and Masculine. What this actually means, in a scholarly manner, is that the Feminine, represents, the four cardinal virtues [of Fortitude, Temperance, Justice, and Prudence], and the Masculine representing, the four primary forces of nature [Gravity, Electro-magnetic, Weak and Strong]. In many ways, becoming, the Higher Self, is all about, creating, an even balance, in, the Feminine forces, and, Masculine forces in oneself. In all, when one does this, one develops, total love [as they say], for, oneself, for others, and, for life itself [and in many ways too, ready, to leave, this Earth].

What one does find though is that, the Feminine in the human body, is very much represented, by, the Sexuality Forces [responsible too for, Sexual Unions, Sexual Bonds, and, Sexual Relations], while the Masculine is represented by, the Libido. Unknown to most though, the Feminine as associated with, whims, requests and demands, is what in many ways, gives, rise to ideas, that are very much, 'technological' [technological, technology, scientific], in nature. In all, 'technology', is born really, of, the Feminine as with, ideas really, and the Masculine [as with, thought, principle and practise], make them real [In many ways in all, the Masculine, represents, attraction, repulsion, and magnetism; all three today strongly, believed by many to be, associated primarily with, women, when in reality as, with the birds (colourful males) it is, the human male, that attracts, the female, with, the female, attempting, to manipulate the males mind].

How we become, superior [and in many ways, the, Higher Self], as with, technological innovation, of any kind, is in many ways, based on, working closely, with, the Feminine [this has nothing though, to do, with, the issue, of, Decency]. Developing Technology [in all its forms], was done rather differently, in different Civilizations, and in all ways really, having, at its base, a Communications protocol.

Egyptian: The world of Research [as popularly associated, with, America], has its origins, in, the Egyptian world. But unlike in America [where Research, is, rather haphazard], Research in the Egyptian world was very much, associated, with, Researching, the Feminine itself [in all really heavily, studying, as a preclude really, what, whims, requests and demands, really, stand for]. In all, rather secretive in nature [as with how, to make, semiconductors, and even, High Definition Monitors].

Greek: The Greek world, gave birth, to the idea, of, modeling thoughts/principles/practises, in ones mind, and coming up, with, ingenious inventions. The often believed, European world, of, Geniuses, Prodigies, Virtuosos, and even Wizards, and of in all a person, working, in the dark of the night (with a candle light to boot), and coming up, with, the most amazing of formulas and equations, has its origins, in, the Greek world [in many ways Greek Mathematics, was heavily associated with, technology development].

Roman: The Romans in most ways, only, engaged in, what, they call, Scientific Research. Research really born of, making discoveries [as with someone, mistakenly, pouring a substance, on another, and something, strange and significant happening]. In many ways the world, of, investigating, what they call, Phenomena, and attempting not only, to, describe it perfectly (as with consequences really), but attempting too, in many ways, model it as with, a prototype, and making too, a significant discovery (as with Knowledge) [in all Knowledge accumulated, from such study, was applied, to real life (in just about, every, arena, including, social life too)].

Islamic: The Islamic world gave birth to, the rather popular, way, of developing, technology, based heavily on, what they call, Mechanics, Statics and, Dynamics [and in many ways too, based rather on, the study, of, materials]. In all unlike, in the Western world where, the study of these, are associated with, experimentation, in the Islamic world on the otherhand, they were heavily grounded in, the world, of, Algebra. A world really of, personal research, and eventually, commercializing, a discovery/invention [the world too, of cogs and wheels (as with, aeroplane models), falsely believed too, to be, European, and Italian too].

Italian: The Italian world gave birth, to the rather, rare, method, of, developing technology, based highly, on, developing, a High Imagination [as with, Nikola Tesla]. In many ways, the Italian world, was, heavily associated with, having Visions, and some of these Visions, were of, technology itself [as in totally, envisioning, a technological device, working, in ones mind] [take a gun for example, most, don't really know, how, guns work, but modern guns (as with, the Beretta), were invented, in Italia based on, having, a high imagination]. In many ways too, the world, of Calculus (actually originating in Italia), as with using it too, to help, solve, believed, unsolvable problems such as, Fermats Last Theorem, and even, what, some call, the, Millennium Problems [all requiring, high imagination] [One, cannot, understand, Calculus, without, a high imagination, and neither, can, supercomputers, replace, high imagination].


For most Civilizations though, as mentioned just above, evolution, on this Earth, was primarily, based on, the Higher Self, and in many ways, the Higher Self is whom, you are, when, you make, it, to Heaven [or the next level]. In all, evolution from the Higher Self only, is somewhat, primarily associated, with, evolution, from a technology point of view. It is here too, that, Christianity, very much, becomes, a World Religion, as in many ways, Jesus [existing in various forms], is, actually used, to represent, the, Higher Self. In many ways, one can see, how, Evolution only from, the Higher Self, is somewhat, limited, in that it is, highly associated, with, the Land, that one evolves in [as with, Scientific technology itself], and this in many ways, limited, such, Civilizations [many of Chinas Inventions for instance, would, mainly only really work, in East Asia (and not, probably, South East Asia even)] [Some, from a cultural point of view, others, even technical].

In most of todays World though, Evolution, into, a Higher Self, has been, limited, by very much, replacing, the very concept, of, the Higher Self, with what, they call, Nationality [as with, a National Identity, and even, Family names, Institutional names, Country name etc., (all based really, on the worship, of a historical figure, as, the highest Ideal, and therefore, limiting, the continuing, evolution, of Civilization itself)] [In some ways too, the concept, of, Guardian Spirit, does exist, and, refers, to a historical figure, who pretty much, evolved, out, of this Earth].

Sacred Symbols: The Quest for the Philosophers Stone

Many today live, rather listless and even, boring, lives, with no anticipation really, for anything, much, to live for. That in all, life, is a rather, great, bore, and even with all the Success out there, does not make sense, from more or less, the, future perspective.

To fully understand this, is to attempt to try and understand, why life, does not work, as well, as it should [as with regards, to planning, for just, about, anything]. That in many ways, its not, the, planning itself that is the problem, but in all really, a general lack, of enthusiasm, for, just about, doing, anything [even at times, when, the lights, are all turned, to green]. For some, they notice that, life, is rather boring, from the perspective, of, the road to success, as nothing much [or even mind boggling really], does seem to happen, when one does, anything, of interest. Mundanety, can be used, to describe, the, life experience, for just about, any being out there today, including, probably, 'the President of the United States of America'.

To fully understand this, is to attempt to try and understand, why life, does not work at all, from, the perspective, of, enthusiasm, and the general desire, to live, life through. To understand this, is to understand, from the perspective, of, first principles, what is it, that the average human, seeks out, in, their life [from the time, they awake, to when, they probably, go to sleep]. As Social beings, what is sought out by all humans [probably], are the following three: needs, wants, and desires. As Political beings, the following, is often sought out [in three]: intention, aim, and motive. As Economical beings, what is often sought out, are: motivations, interests, and wishes. All these three forms, of desiring, are in themselves, motivated, by others forces [covered, in the, Occidental entry]: personal history, touching moments, and, aspirations. This whole matrix, in many ways, is what has guided, Individuals, through most, of History. But alas, we find this, not to be true today, as in many ways too, the final end, sought, by most out there, is either, Glory, Grace or Repute [but in all, we do find, that most people do abscond, the earth, without the vast, majority, ever hearing, about them].

To really know, why this is is to see, from another perspective [design based], how, in general, life, is lived out, from a, plannings perspective. That in all, life, is being lived out, in, most places, of the world in a rather, falsely manner. To somewhat understand this, is to know, that, there are three, other desirings, that we search for, in fulfilling anything, we attempt to do; they are: whims, requests and demands. That in general, when we set out, to do, most things out there, at one moment or another, we shall either have, a whim [as in a past occurrence], a request [of someone], or even too really, a demand. In the past, some sought, to solve these three, desirings, using what they call the, Philosophers stone [a stone really, used to guide, one, in doing things, and especially, with regards, to, whims, requests and demands]. In all, to understand this better, is to know that, in the past, what made life rather interesting, was the actual, seeking out, of, something/anything, while driven, by ones, whims, requests, and demands [that in all, when doing anything, and coming across, an unsolvable problem, the solution in many ways, lays, with a whim, request or demand, being fulfilled; and all this too, not always, from a human being (but even possible, from spirits)] [In all too, intentions, needs, motivations etc. simply gave one, lots, of choices and options, to choose by, and in all, made life, to be in general, filled, with enthusiasm in all]. All this though, has changed today.

We do live, in a world, of whims, requests and demands, but not, in the way, most people, think them. To fully understand this, is to know, that for the human being driven in the past by, personal history, touching moments, and aspirations, they are today though, driven really, by the search, for, approval, appreciation, and even, esteem [which are all, misnomers, of the other search, for, Glory, Grace, and Repute]. In all, the actual search, for, approval, appreciation, and, even esteem, is all associated, with, our child selves. In attempting, to experience approval, appreciation and even, esteem, too, we do find, that we no longer, actually, attempt, to gain all this, by, our sole efforts [as children would do], but actually, attempt, to fulfill all this, through, whims, requests, and demands [nearly all, fulfilled, by, female presences, in our midsts]. To say the least my friends, life, simply, does not, work.

Many today, attempting, to do just about, anything, find themselves, suffering [greatly even], from all sorts, of, pangs, greatly associated, with, the fears, of, success, failure, and even, trying. The basic belief that, even, when all, is well planned out, something, is bound, to go wrong [and all this, due, to the fact, that, eventually, at one moment or another, a whim, request or demand, will eventually have, to be fulfilled, and subconsciously, one fears, that, it never will be]. For many, seeking to solve, most problems out there, it all eventually, results, in seeking out, a female presence [often motherly], for all this.

To fully see all this, in a different light, but one, very noticeable in all, is to, realize, how Architectural design [and all other forms, of, design], are driven mainly, today, by whims, requests and demands [and not, basic manners, mannerisms, and body language]. That even, the architectural design, found, in a building [as to where, to place, an office for example], are all based, on whims, requests and demands. Hopefully, all this, is rather too noticeable. In many ways too, one finds that, those who control, demands, requests and whims [fulfilling them, that is] in all really, have an, unprecedented control, of Society itself. Traditionally many groups, have attempted, to do, just this. In the very beginning, it was, those, known as, Witches [who were, often, hanged, or even, burned alive, for this]. Then came, the Feminists, who eventually too, had people, perceive them, as being, Western/white [and beliefs, in White Privilege].

Below, will be presented, certain, Sacred Symbols, and Eminent Figures [and countries too], who represented, these Symbols, as in mainly, becoming, a grounded and well rounded, person. What this really means is that, these figures, are whom, we should see, as representing, the, human being, as an identifiable person, in society [in all, what the human, as a civilized person, does, or does not do]. To make all this, clearer, is to speak, of the human as, primarily driven, by the Occidental, but shaped, as a Social being [needs, wants, desires], by a Sense of Space-Time Reality, and as a Political being by a, Sense of Humour, and finally, as an Economical being, by a, Sense of Order.

The eminent figures, presented here, should be, seen, as bringing, together, all other figures, associated, with us: motivational [as with Mozart and Loki], Inspirational [as with the Gnostic Christ], and even, Fantasy/Personal being [as with, the Green Knight]. In all, they represent for us our, sense of space-time reality, sense of humour, and finally, too, sense of order. The Sacred Symbols though, represent, in many ways, the Occidental, and whom we are generally, as, Social, Political, and Economic beings [i.e. as driven by, intentions, desires, wishes etc.].

[One should not be surprised, by all the Symbols, and Figures, presented before all this, as becoming, totally free, as with, self-expression (and even, Might itself), has to do, with, seeing oneself, from, almost all, perspectives, as being, rather, unique. One of the major problems we do have today, is that, in living, in a world, where, the majority, have the same, requests, demands and whims (all nearly, not born, of, thought, but of, a female presence, of one kind or another), does mean, in general that, most people, out there, think alike, with, regards, to just, about, (doing) anything].

The countries mentioned below, in many ways, as, with the, Sacred Symbols, and eminent figures themselves, do represent, our, whims, requests and demands, in, a more or less, institutional/cultural manner [in all, in many ways, one cannot, separate all three, totally, from each other i.e. Eminent Figure, Sacred Symbol and country mentioned].

North America: The Double Sabres



Country: The United States of America
Eminent Figure: Lafayette

The Double Sabres, are weaponry, seen, in America, but, having, origins, outside it [as with, the, British really]. In all, taking, the Double Sabres, as, Sacred Symbols, means, that they define, America [in all], from the perspective, of, the Occidental, and, Religious beings [Social/Political/Economic]. This Symbol, strongly associated, with, the British [and the Revolutionary War too], is in many ways what, has traditionally, made, America, heavily British [and not, English, as many, believe it to be] [Traditionally, Bill Cutting and Buffalo Bill too, were the, quintessential Americans, and not, the rather English, George Washington]. The United States of America, in North America, is the country, that, best defines (in the whole world), the fulfillment, of, whims, requests and demands [making it, in many ways, a, global power, to reckon with] [In all, customer service has never, been better, anywhere else]. Lafayette, in many ways too, represents, what, a well rounded, and grounded too, American, is like, with regards, to, a sense of space-time reality, a sense of humour, and even a, sense of order [in all too, representing, what is, rather French, about, North America].

South America: The Double Sticks



Country: Peru
Eminent Figure: Jean-Jacques Dessalines

The Double Sticks often seen, heavily, in many, South American, Sacred Dances [including Capoeira too], in many ways, have been, seen, as Sacred Symbols, in most, South American, native groups. In all, their association as with, South American, culture (in general), represents, the Occidental, and, Religious being [Social/Political/Economic]. The country, that best represents, whims, requests and demands, in South America, is, Peru [and often, seen, in their, magical practises] [Magic, and Magical practises, in most ways, are often, associated, with a (high regard/perception), of, whims, requests, and demands]. And the figure, who in many ways, does, represent South American, sense of humour, sense of order, and even, sense of space-time reality, is actually (to say the least), Jean-Jacques Dessalines [who although, Haitian, is actually believed, to have been, of, South American origins] [In many ways too, the Haitian Double Sticks dance of Kalenda, believed African, is actually of South American origins, and is a rather, superior form, of, stick fight, to most, seen out there].

Europe: The French Double Daggers



Country: France
Eminent Figure: Le Chevalier de St. Georges

Europe, has always been, defined, in many ways, by, personal cultures, of, daggers [of all sorts], with the most, famous today being, the, Swiss Pen Knives. In most ways, Daggers in Europe [in their double form, and, especially, those, of French origins], have always, represented, the European Spirit, as with, the Occidental, and, the Religious being [Social/Political/Economic] [And in many ways too, giving rise, to, English phrases like, 'eyes like daggers', to represent, a dreadful stare, from someone, not liking one, too much; something like this: http://www.solarnavigator.net/images/gerard_depardieu.jpg]. In Europe, whims, requests and demands, are best represented, by France, which has traditionally, made, France, the most, reknowed, of, European Nations, not only culturally [as with whims, demands and requests], but also too, in, fulfilling, all these three [France at one time, was, the most, superior, Nation, in the World probably, with regards to fulfilling, all these three, and in many ways, one does find, that, this 'industry', been strongly associated, with womenfolk, made, French women, probably, the most, desirable, of all Women]. Georges, as the Eminent Figure, of choice, might seem, antagonizing to some, but in most ways, no other, figure, did represent, France, as a whole, with regards, to the daily man [as with humour, order etc.] and also too, with regards, to, devotion, and Love itself (of country) [lots of things, have been said, about, Georges (mainly privately), but one thing he really was in all, was, clear-minded]; and today, perhaps, his spirit, is best, represented, by, the poetry, of, John Donne, and even as, the Count of Sainte-Hermine.

Africa: The Double Spears



Country: Nigeria
Eminent Figure: Orunmila

The African Double Spears [often in the form too, of, the short staff spear, as, with the Zulu, Assegai], and accompanied too, by, a shield of sorts are, in many ways, Sacred Symbols, representing, the Occidental, and the Religious being [Social/Political/Economic], amongst, Africans. Nigeria, as a country, also best, represents Africa/Africans, as with whims, requests and, demands too [all too, from more of a, cultural perspective, and not, always really, institutionally]. Orunmila, said to be, a Yoruba Prophet, actually, came from, the Islamic world, and is associated, with, the writing, of, the Sacred Ifa Oracle. An Oracle, not only defining, the, Occidental [in all], but also, whims, requests and demands [all African], and added in, to all this a, sense of space-time reality, a sense of humour, and even, a sense of order. Orunmila, is a most, important figure, to world history, as in many ways, his Sacred Ifa Oracle [as with Nigerians/Africans themselves], helped give birth, to, the world, of, Political Science, as Political Science in itself, is the world, of, the Occidental, and Religious beings, Whims et. al., and finally, senses of humour, order etc. This might be surprising to many, but, the well beloved, world, of Seminars, Meets, Meetings (Political), Congregations etc., as often, espoused, by the UN, has in, many ways, its origins, in, the African World [and especially, Nigerian] [The Yoruba, developed, the concept, of, the Cabinet (Political), way before the, Europeans/English, ever did]. The world too, of passports, visas, Identity cards etc., has, its origins, in, the African World, and especially, too, West Africa [with its, many civilizations] [All this too, being, the reason, why, Africans, make, for good, international diplomats] [Before this world, of International Diplomacy, ever, existed, issues, of whims, requests and demands (which mainly, dominate, this world, more than, the other mentioned factors), were fulfilled, via, Magical practises (and Secret Cults), of all sorts, with France, having, the most, developed, Magical practises, seen, in most of the world] [Many though, having, origins, in the Islamic world] [Today though, it is perceived, that, Africa, has always had, a strong, tradition, of such, Magical practises, and France as, having, the least, and therefore, being, the most, 'civilized', of all people] [In Brazil, Politics, was once, highly strongly associated, with, the religion, of Candomble (as with making things happen), and the rather, false belief too, that, this Religion, is mainly, Yoruba] .

South East Asia: The Double Scimitars



Country: India
Eminent Figure: Malik Ambar

The Double Scimitars, a Sacred Symbol, believed, to be strongly associated, with, the Middle Eastern world, has actually, origins, in, South East Asia [and associated, with, Ethiopes (black skinned people, from, the Middle East)]. In all they, represent, the Occidental and the, Religious being [as with, intention for example] in Southeast Asia. India, as a country, best represents, South East Asia as, with whims, requests and demands [from a, cultural point of view] [and in all, making, India, rather prominent, as, with history really, in, South East Asia]. The figure, of Malik Ambar [an Ethiope], who founded, a ruling Dynasty in India, in many ways best, represents, the successful Indian Image, of, a turban wearing, prominent, businessman.

East Asia: The Double Sai



Country: South Korea
Eminent Figure: Miyagi Chojun

The Double Sai, while, not actually, prominent as a, Sacred Symbol in the whole, of East Asia [due, to the Sai, being, Japanese], does somewhat, resemble, the, Double Swords, that, often do [they though, not, being totally Sacred]. In many ways, the Double Sai, representing, the Occidental, and even, the Religious being [Social/Political/Economic], is what, has traditionally, made, Japanese Society, similar, to French Society [more even, than, American]. South Korea and not, Japan, best represents, East Asia, as, with, requests, demands, and whims, and in all, making, South Korean History, much, more interesting, than, Japanese [one sees this, today too, with, South Korea, having, the most, interesting, political scene, in East Asia]. Miyagi Chojun, the founder, of, Okinanwan Karate, in many ways developed, a philosophy (to life), that, in many ways in all, had, a rather high, sense of humour, order and space-time reality; [his philosophy, is best, represented cinematically, in the, Karate Kid movies].

The Middle East: The Sword of Allah



Country: Saudi Arabia
Eminent Figure: Amir Hamza

The Sword of Allah, is a, Sacred Symbol, that, in many ways, is responsible, for, separating, the Middle East, from, the Islamic world. It is a Symbol, heavily steeped, in, the History, of, the Middle East, and heavily associated too, with, Arabian, and Arabic History. It fully represents, the Occidental in the Middle East, and also too, its, Religious beings [as with, motivations etc.]. It existed, before, Islam ever did and strongly, associated too, with, figures, such as, Sinbad, Ali Baba, and even, the Prince of Persia. However though, its most, devoted wielder, has probably been, Amir Hamza, who wields it, with, the greatest, of, dexterity, in his attempts, at, creating, a sense of humour, sense of order, and even, sense of space-time reality [in many ways, these Symbols, and, associated figures and countries in all, totally represent as, with the external, world, whom we are, at, our core (as with, whom we really are: Boxer, Monk, Saint, Shaman etc.)]. The Sword of Allah, as with whims, requests and demands, is best, represented, culturally (in the Middle East), by, Saudi Arabia, making it in all ways the, eminent country, in, the Middle East [as with, political History too].


To fully conclude this, do realize, that, these Symbols [and their associated imagery], in all really, simply, ground one, to, their worlds [as with, external existences]. The Sword of Allah for example, will drive one, to want or need, something, but not, in, a rather, specified manner [as a small example really, simply carrying, the scabbard, would probably, have one, seek out, a Koran and not, a DVD]. When we speak, of, countries, representing, whims, requests and demands, we not only, mainly, speak of, their womenfolk [and even too, magical practises/political machinery], but also, refer, in many ways, to, its Popular Media [which is all, about, whims, requests and, demands (and in all making TV, for many out there, more interesting, than, normal life)]. One in all should seek out, all, forms, of Art work [or even, Philosophic works], based on, these Symbols, countries, and, Eminent Figures, in an attempt really, to ground one, into, a normal existence [as with, culture itself].

Gerard Depardieu

In many ways, a work, of Thoth, and green all over.

The Sun King

Sun Symbolism, associated, with the Sun King, and very much too, Thoth, and the Jinni world.

Christian Mysticism [as with Mystics], and differing, from, Islamic Mysticism [popular, amongst Gargoyles].

Relationship Design with Cindy Crawford

The Marquis:

This edition, of, Relationship Design with Cindy Crawford, is mostly, of, the narrative kind, and speaks, in, a historical sense, of an existence really, more, than a typical, relationship. At the heart of this existence, is a figure, who, in one part, of the world {Quebec}, is known as, a Marquis, and in another, Central Asia/Europe, as, a Pasha.

At the basis, of, understanding, this relationship/relating format, is what, was previously called, Cultural Ethnography. The very fact, that, one can build, a total life, around, Cultural Ethnography, and that, in many ways, this form, of Life, does exist today, in, a popular mode, and strongly associated, with, what, they call, Popular Media.

Most today, don't always think only, of, succeeding in life, but in many ways too, of, simple survival. There exists, out there, a Socializing Network, frequented, by people, of all kinds, looking, for an opportunity to, in many ways, escape, their very lives. For some, they seek out, someone, interesting, to be in a relationship with. Others, are looking for, a better job, or economic opportunity, to better, their way of life. A Socializing Network, not rather, too popular, as, it in many ways, in the end, leads, to nothing much, but, broken hearts, of one kind or another. The reason for this, is due to not, understanding, how modern/Western Socializing Networks, came to be, as, they are [mainly centered, around, a Party circuit].

For many out there, looking, for a better deal, in life, they often, seek, to do this, by seeking out, others, with, similar, physical looks/attractiveness, skin colour, place of birth, schooling, or even, work similarities. Whole Socializing Networks, of all kinds, often, arise, based on the above, as, people seek out, better deals, in life, and Night life in many ways, has become, the very center, of, Western living. In other parts of the world, especially Africa, one finds that, different, groups/people, have in many ways, created, Existences, based on, Socializing Networks, totally too, based on Communications protocols [in general, unlike, Western groups, who seek out people like them, based on, looks, race, schooling etc., Africans, have traditionally sought out, people, who communicate (in different manners), in a manner, similar, to them]. A more, advanced way, of doing things, but not, as, sophisticated, as it really, looks like.

The area, of Cultural Ethnography, offers, in many ways, a better way, of, seeking to live as such. Cultural Ethnography, was previously, divided, into, the following parts: Religion/Sculpture, Music, Oral Culture, Orality, Studies and finally, Information Networks. In many ways, one finds that, in, Western Society, Socializing Networks at the lower level of society, are based on, Information Networks, while those, at the top, on, Orality. However though, one finds that, all this, is done, in a rather, wrongly manner, leading, to little results, and poor, successes.

Existence totally, on Cultural Ethnography (or what some, simply call, Culture, without the, Cultural), has existed before, in, more interesting ways. This was especially true, in, Brazil/South America, and parts, of, Central Europe/Asia. In many ways, one simply, begins, to create, associations, of all kinds, based on, Cultural Ethnography, which, in many ways too, are rather racial, in nature [for instance, Orality and Facial features, Oral Culture and hair kind, Music and gender, Studies and Voice formats etc.]. One does find though, associating, with others, based on, this, is rather, an easy way of creating, unions, with another, as, one finds others, based on all this, rather similar, to one [in about, all ways]. What is then left for, is what, they call, brainstorming [and simply, putting heads together].

In many ways, one, is supposed, to, create unions with others, based on, Cultural Ethnography, and one can then see, that, many unions [even within, an area, of, Cultural Ethnography], leads, to very many, associations, of all kinds. In all really, one, lives, a whole Life, based on, these unions, where one, moves, from one area, of, Cultural Ethnography, to, another, and basically creating, a rather, interesting social world, similar, to moving, along, in circular tunnels. When one begins, to, become, more popular [as with, successes really], and in many ways, starts, to accumulate wealth [due to the very, many opportunities], one then creates, very much, in many ways really, what, they call, a Principality [or even, a Princedom (if large in size)]. Principalities, are headed, by figures, known as, Marquis/Marquise, or even, a Pasha. In many ways, they are places really, defined, by two main things: an Estate, or, a Jurisdiction. In all, Cultural Ethnography, can be used, to create, Wealth, or create, a Ruling order/system, of a kind.

The problem though, with all this though, is that, it can heavily, racialize, a Society [despite, working, rather well] [the other alternative most, adhere too, is, associating, based on, womenfolk, which, is rather primitive, in many ways]. In many ways, this racializing, can lead, to, all forms, of, Ethnic conflict, which, though, can be dealt with, in, several ways [including too, a culture, of humour] [Many of the wars, one sees, in, Central Europe/Asia, arose, due, to all this (racializing), resulting, in, all forms, of, Ethnic divisions]. In all, such Ethnic Divisions [historical based], can lead, to what, they call, Social Upheaval [as with, the Orange Revolution, in the Ukraine].


Skanderbeg

Modernity and the birth of Popular Media:

This way, of living, based on, Cultural Ethnography, is traditionally, seen, in very few places, in a, developed form, but, in many ways, has come, to influence, modern living, in ways, one, could never fathom [unless, one understands, the role, the, Visual Arts, have, on this way, of living]. Modernity, is a word, that, most, find hard, to grasp fully (in meaning). To them, it simply refers, to the Modern world, of all kinds of, electronic gadgets, and, machinery too. They don't in many ways, truly, understand, how all that, really, came about.

In many ways, the birth, of Modernity [as a way of living], has, its origins, in what, they call, the Visual Arts. Rather strong way, of, presenting Culture, as is most, commonly seen, with Photography. In many ways, the Visual Arts, are highly, tool based Arts, and can be used, to distort, Reality, and present it, even, from what, they call, Uniformity [as in attempting, to make, something, perfect, to ones eyes]. It is this form, of Art, that led really, to, the creation, of, Modernity, as especially with, regards to, the various gagdets, and other such, technologies, that one, often sees [Visual Arts, rather common, in, America too, as with, China, are responsible, for, both Societies, developing, lots of inventions (and not, invention or technology)].

In many ways, Visual Arts, being, strongly associated, with Cultural Ethnography, are in, many ways too, responsible, for the, materiality, associated, with this, way of living.

One of the groups, with, rather strong, Visual Arts, and, who have come, to strongly, influence, living, in this modern, age, are the Bantu people, seen, in Cameroon, and Southern Nigeria. The Bantus [brown skinned], have their origins, in, Egyptian Civilization. To understand, a rather complex topic, is to, know, that Egypt, housed, different populations, who knew, each other well, but were rather, distinct too, from, each other, in one way or another. The Bantu, are simply, a small part, of, a larger whole, who, were in many ways, at the fore, of, the creation, of, Ancient Egypt [as with some, of the first, Pharaohs]. Bantu here, refers, to brown skinned people, who look like, Samuel Eto'o, Spike Lee, and even, Larenz Tate.

In todays parlance, Bantu people, still living, in Egypt, are referred to, as, Copts/Coptics, and in many ways, had, a Civilization of their own, which, went, by the name of, Lydia. The origins, of the Copts/Coptics, is rather diverse, but, they are known, to have, originated, from the famed Egyptian, Land of Punt [in Somalia/Ethiopia]. In many ways, these Coptic populations, are no, truly different, from, Ethiopian populations, but there is still, very much, a greater, diversity, in this whole gene pool. Ethiopian populations too, are related, to, the Berbers/Amazigh, of, North Africa, who were part, of, the Lydian Civilization.

These same groups, also, founded, a settlement, in what, they call, Syria, and today, most, Syrians, are also, of, this diverse, gene pool [the so called, Afro-Asiatic myth, of Egyptian origins]. The Coptic/Ethiopian/Bantu populations, were known, to the Ancient Greeks, as, Aethiopians, and they are a, different group, of people, from, Egyptians, from Kemet [Northern Egypt] [some, who became, Greek/Spartan, as with, the example, of, Bow Wow]. Aethiopians, being found too, in, Central Asia/Europe, as, the famed Colchians, of Herodotus lore, eventually too, became, a rather, large part, of, Central Asian/European life, mainly, as, managers, of the, Estates/Jurisdictions, created, by, Syrian populations, of, the same gene pool [Hittities & Kurds], in those regions [the Kurds, were mainly, the military powers] [the Romans, derogatorily referred to, Aethiopians, as Gypos].



The most powerful, medium, of the Visual Arts, has always, been, the Poster, and even, Wall Graffiti too. What, the Visual Arts do is, in many ways, kind of, magical, as seeing, good Visual Art [in a Poster form perhaps], results, in one, being, eventually transported, into, living, in the world displayed. Visual Arts in all, have, resulted, in a form, of materiality, heavily, based on, gadgets, and gadgetry [including cellphones], becoming, manifest, and today, the most powerful, form, of Visual Arts, is that, associated, with, the Bantu Visual Arts, as mainly, seen, in North America. Visual Arts, that have, in many ways, given, birth, to the world, of, Ipods, and Sneakers, and the birth, of, a Popular Media, that has, its origins, with, the likes, of, Spike Lee and consiting, of, Ethnic Movies, Music Videos, Fashion/Sports wear, and lots, of Style/Attitude. A Popular Media, adopted, by, the White American Masses, and becoming, part, of American Popular Media, as with, Britney Spears perhaps. In many ways, this world [of Bantu Visual Arts], is best seen, in, the American Sports Entertainment world, and the, European Soccer world too [in all, worlds today, that, are responsible, for heavily, influencing, not only, the manners and ways of Socializing networks everywhere, but also, their, fashions, music, and even too, general lifestyles].

This world, was also seen, in, Central/Eastern Europe [from a, Syrian perspective], and was heavily, responsible, for the creation, of, Russias famed, Poster culture. Another reason too, why, Bantu based American Popular Media, is rather, popular, in Eastern Europe. A way of life too, depicted, by, Fyodor Dostoevsky, in his famed work, the, 'The Brothers Karamazov'.

In all, a way of Life, not, only structured, around, Cultural Ethnography, but, with each area, of Cultural Ethnography, being, associated, with, a Life Stage [as seen, in, the entry, about, Life Stages], and that in America, heavily associated, with, the Vices. And all this, been given, a, Structure, very much based, on, Personal Religion [as with, a form, of, Ancestor worship], and what, some call, Urban Development [as with, Real Estate/Skyscrapers, Entertainment, and, Communications]. In all, a whole existence rather hard, to escape from, if one, is, raised, around it [in many ways, the Visual Arts, can be, troubling, as with, Subconscious/Subliminal Programming, and the mediums, chosen, are of great, importance, as some, can heavily, subconsciously, program one; a good example, being, posters]. In South America, this way, of Life, was mainly seen, in, Brazil, and heavily, associated, with Capoeira groups, of different kinds [especially those though, made up, of, white practitioners] [Stories, of white Brazilian politicians, being, Capoeira players, really, have to do, with, white Capoeira groups, living, lives similar to that, of, a Marquis, and very much, based too, on, creating Jurisdictions].

In Central Europe/Asia [and even, Eastern Europe], Ethnic Divisions created by, Racialization by Cultural Ethnography, eventually, result, in the creation, of, ideologies, such as, Marxism, Communism, and even, Socialism too.

World War II

Both, accounts of WW2, by Brown Africans [Colonial Recruits], fighting, for both, the German and French sides, respectively.

Both, some of the best, Exposes, of the whole War.

Charlemagnes Europe

The Music of the Dark Ages



The Dark Ages, take place, right, after, the Napoleanic Era, and are, simply, a follow through, of, the downfall, of France, spreading, to the rest of Europe.

Metal music, has its origins, in, Italian culture, and was the, 'pop music', of the, Holy Roman Empire, and the Dark Ages.

The Dark Ages, were marked, by, regular violence, due mainly, to, invading Moorish African armies [both black/Sahel and white/North], and they were followed, in this invasion, by other forces too, out, to create, havoc [some coming, from, Central Asia].

A time, of great brutality, as, brutal violence, as often seen, in the movies, was common, in, Dark Ages Europe, and many, scenes, were not that different, from what, you see, in Horror movies.

Charlemagne sought, to put, an order, to all this, and especially too, the, brutality, facing many innocent bystanders, slaughtered at times, by, invading armies [and crazed groups], in no different a manner, than as said before, in, most Horror movies [Cannibalism, did occur].

In all, the Soundtrack to Orlando Furioso.

Emancipation: Symbols of Autonomy

Emancipation and Autonomy, in many ways, refers, to, beliefs, associated with issues too, of Compassion. To fully understand this, is to understand, the, Ages, we have gone through, and, what, they have really meant, at, the Individual level. During, the Age of Love/Dignity, most, humans, sought out, Freedom, in one way, or another. During the Age, of Love/Respect, it is Liberty, that was, most sought out, by Individuals. In this new Age, of Compassion/Exploration, it will be, Autonomy, that will be, sought out; what Autonomy really refers to, is the seeking out, of, freedom really, to chase, our, many (and very own too), dreams. That in many ways, people, will be, prohibited, from doing, as they wish, with regards, to, chasing dreams (of the achievement kind & their own making).

Many today, feel, oppressed and downtrodden too, due mainly, to being, brainwashed/programmed, in one way, or, another. In many ways they find too, that, they are, unable, to think, clearly, and in all really, make, judgments, of all kinds (required). To fully understand this, is to know, the difference, between, what they call, Thought, and, Processed thought. Thought, is a way, of thinking, associated, heavily, with, having Objectivity, Perspective, and Point of View. In many ways, a way of thinking, associated, with Freedom, Liberty, and Autonomy/Liberties, respectively. Processed thought though, differs, in that, its, a rather, modern, way, of doing things (as with thinking clearly), and is, highly based, on reading, through things, with the main, goal, not to understand whats been written, but to actually, look out, for, all kinds, of signs, that, can be of use, as, a guide [when you read most books today, they are written, using, Processed thought, and the main problem with this, is not, that, Processed thought, is, rather ethnic in nature, but, can also be said, to be, rather racial too, in nature] [In many ways, think, of Processed thought, as not too, different, from the kind, of thinking, required, with the use, of, Oracles, of all kinds] [And yet again, Oracles, can be deemed, rather, ethnic/cultural].

Americanista blog though, is written, using Thought [Objectivity, Perspective, Point of View], and is therefore, not only, understandable to most, but also too, very open, to, debate, with Intelligent beings. Processed thought though, can be rather, dictatorial [as with most, Textbooks].

The purpose, of this entry, is, to present, to the people out there, various, Symbols, they can use [Religious in nature], to help them, with, Thought, when they feel, oppressed, downtrodden, and simply, beaten down too. Symbols too, that, can serve, as, reserves of Power, helping one, rejuvenate themselves (when beaten down for instance), mainly, through, Prayer and Meditation (on them) [Can be rather, enjoyable, as doing this, simply, opens up, ones mind, to, all possibilities] [A good way too, to practise, daily prayer, in its, entirety].

Symbols, of Power in all, as with being really, a Renegade (or Pirate too), of sorts.

The Anointing

Many out there, don't really know, how, to leave out, Life. In many ways, this does not, refer really, to going, through, the Stages of Life, but, in many ways too, seeking out, Success, in all its forms. Many out there today, are seated, and waiting too really, for the, big break (or chance even), that, will give them, all the, Success, they truly desire. The belief really, that, eventually, they will, succeed, and make it, big, without really, having, to plan, for ones Life.

Many successful people, have been, heard, to say, that, they can, very well, see, into, their futures, with regards, to planning, for their Lives. That in deed, they can, actually, see, 10 years sometimes, into, their lives (futures), and even, plan, for them (as such). For the majority though, Life, is dealt with, on a day-to-day basis, while, the future, is very much, lived out, via, daydreams (of all kinds).

Many though (out there), don't truly, realize, that, they have, very much, been, programmed, with a Life plan, that, is rather biblical (in nature). In summary really, many (out there), believe themselves, to be, Jesus of Nazareth, when, they go, out there, to seek, Success. This is not really, due, to the spread, of Christianity, but, mainly also, to, the way, Heroes, in the Media, are presented, for all all [in general, someone, goes out, to seek, Success, and on, somewhat achieving it (really), finds themselves, eventually crucified]. In many ways, Jesus of Nazareth, does, define, how many out there, believe, Life (actually works) and also too, is actually lived out [subconsciously], and the very Fear (of Crucifixion) [as with Death too, perhaps], might be, the very, main Fear, that, many encounter, in, anything, they attempt, to do really [in many ways, a belief really, that, Success, brings with it, all, kinds, of Pain (comparable really, to Crucifixion)].

Life plans, should not, be, confused, with Individuals, whom one, can, emulate, in attaining, Success [as with, Simon Bolivar, Mozart, Ram etc.]. These are Figures really, one, should emulate, when, attempting, to solve, any problem, perceived, difficult in ones Life [in all really, they are, Motivational Figures]. Life plans, on the other hand, are actually, associated, with Figures, one, could call, Inspirational. In all, Figures, who Inspire, one, to live out, their, whole Lives, in, a certain way, and, at its end, one wonders, whether, their Life really, was comparable, to that, of, the Inspirational Figure.

Below, are presented, several, Inspirational Figures, that, would well serve, different, Regions, of the World, in their, seeking out, Success, of all kinds. These Figures, are not, always, Real-life characters, but, instead really, are, more or less, like, Avatars, who would seek, to Inspire, one, to live out, Life, in a certain way.

North America: Julius Gaius Caesar

Probably, the most, famous, of the, Caesars, Julius Gaius Caesar, is reknowed really, for, taking Rome, from, Empire, to Civilization itself. In many ways too, living out, a Life, that, in fact too, resembles, the Lives, of, famed American Mavericks (of all kinds) [including too, very much, Business Magnates]. Julius Gaius Caesar, was not, reknowed, for any Wars really, but did, in fact, march, all the way, to the Caucus mountains, where, he did, engage, in Battle, with, the rather famed, Visigoths. In all, he made, Christianity, a center, of Roman Life, and in reality too, Christianity (as Christendom really), is actually, of, Roman origins (as with Concept) [all this referring really, to just, about, any Intelligent Theological work, as associated today, with, mainstream Christianity] [In all really, the Christianity, of Josephus].

South America: Catherine of Aragon

In a South America, where, Women, still heavily influence, the Life plans, of, the Men, in their lives, and in, many ways too, a South America, whose Men, are, truly said, to be, in Love, with European Women, Catherine of Aragon, does serve, as, a fine example, for, a Figure, to be emulated, in living out, ones, Life. A Figure, most reknowed, for being, one, of King Henry VIII, wives, and in many ways, tells, of a Figure, who sought, Glory (as in being a Queen), but coming too, from, much more, humble origins. In many ways too, a Saintly Figure, who, in many ways, attempted, to make, the Tudors, a rather, reknowed, Royal Name, but met with, resistance, of all kinds, as, with her, origins.

Europe: The Gnostic Christ

For Europeans, who do not, really, make, any real, concrete plans, as with, living out, their Lives, the, Gnostic Christ, does serve, as, a fine example, of, a Figure, to be emulated. In many ways, Europeans, tend to seek, to live out Life, by moving, from, one Life project, to, another, and in many ways, all these, Life projects, are deemed, grandoise (in nature), and are often, met, with resistance, of the, "You are delusional" kind (often accompanied too, by a, look, away). For Europeans, with huge dreams (one after the other) [probably too, like, Governor Schwarzenegger], the Gnostic Christ, will very much, be seen, as, a Figure, one, would very much, seek, to identify with [in many ways too, the Works, of Thomas Middleton, are very much, inspired, by the Gnostic Christ].

Africa: Prophet Jeremiah

Perhaps, an understatement, in many ways, as, one possibly, cannot, perhaps, fathom, how to, live out a Life, as a Prophet. Prophet Jeremiah, is in, many ways a Figure, who saw, a Vision, of the future, that, those, he told about, refused, to believe in. In many ways, a greater future, that others, could not, really see into (as with, identifying with). In all really too, a Figure, who attempted, to explain, to others, this Vision he saw, and the resistance, he met, with [in all, attempting, to explain, why, his Vision, was best, for everyone]. Perhaps though, a fine example, of, a Prophet Jeremiah-like figure, can be seen, in, the movie, 'the Aviator', which is believed, to tell, the, true story, of, Howard Hughes, but, is actually, a fictional account [Hughes real life drama, was similar, to that, of, Julius Gaius Caesar, while, that seen, in, the movie, is similar really, to, the trials, that, Prophet Jeremiah, faced].

South East Asia: Gautama Buddha

Perhaps, a bit, presumptuous (or even perceived too, as being boring), but in many ways, in a, South East Asia, where, Success, is somewhat, associated, with (as creating), a whole new, Religion/Movement [as with, Gandhi too perhaps], the success, of, Gautama Buddha, as a lone (and very much, sole Figure too), in starting, a whole, new Religion, is in many ways, what, South East Asians, are really, about, when it comes, to making, their dreams, come true. In all too, similar, to becoming, a Grand Vizier [as with, Imhotep really], and bringing out, new ways, of living [perhaps too, as with, Martha Stewart, or even, L.Ron Hubbard].

East Asia: The Eight Immortals

The Eight Immortals, are mythological, figures, seen, in Ancient Chinese mythology, and associated too, with, the rise, of, China, as a Civilization. In all really, the Eight Immortals, help, one, plan out, for, their lives, with regards, to any, great dreams, they aspire, to fulfill. In all really too, Literature, associated, with them, simply, fills one, with, dreams, on how really, to plan out, ones Life, in achieving them.

Middle East: Alfred the Great

Alfred the Great, was a, reknowed King (during the Medieval/Byzantine Era), who, is most reknowed really, today, as being, the Father, of, the English Nation (and even World) [He though, having, origins, in, Mesopotamia]. In many ways, his Life, was, lived out, rather, like, in a, true myth, and in many ways too, a Mystic, who sought, to bring, Civilization, to a Europe, torn, apart (somewhat), by all forms, of poverty [Middle Ages Europe]. In many ways though, his story, is, a must read, as it, rivals really, the travails, of many, famed Middle Eastern figures [such as, Prophet Mohammed]. In all really, truly, a Life, well lived (out).


In all, one must, remember, the Figures above, are, Inspirational, which means really, that, one, does not, live out, their lives, exactly (as told). One though, is supposed though really, to be inspired, by their, Lives (as with, via, the imagination). In all too, at the, end, of ones Life, rather, than feel, despair, one should, instead really, seek, to see, if, their Lives, were comparable, to, any, of the Greats above [and not really, have, all kinds, of, fears, associated, with Death (they believed, taken care of, by, attempting, to live out, Life, like the above)].

The Victorian World

Music inspired, by the Victorian World [Kenya, circa 1938]

[Not American music really; (think), America, as a land, of Immigrants]

Probably, one of the better, Victorian inspired, music pieces, alongside, "Over my shoulder", with Mike and the Mechanics, and Edward Elgars, "Pomp and Circumstance".
