Iar Eu zic vouă: Iubiţi pe vrăjmaşii voştri, binecuvântaţi pe cei ce vă blestemă, faceţi bine celor ce vă urăsc şi rugaţi-vă pentru cei ce vă vatămă şi vă prigonesc,
45.
Ca să fiţi fiii Tatălui vostru Celui din ceruri, că El face să răsară soarele şi peste cei răi şi peste cei buni şi trimite ploaie peste cei drepţi şi peste cei nedrepţi.
46.
Căci dacă iubiţi pe cei ce vă iubesc, ce răsplată veţi avea? Au nu fac şi vameşii acelaşi lucru?
47.
Şi dacă îmbrăţişaţi numai pe fraţii voştri, ce faceţi mai mult? Au nu fac şi neamurile acelaşi lucru?
48.
Fiţi, dar, voi desăvârşiţi, precum Tatăl vostru Cel ceresc desăvârşit este.
Târâș, la început de an prin nesfârșitele canale de fibră optică ale lui Google. Asta fiindcă nu am fost în stare, vorba lui Creangă, să fac nimic la timpul potrivit.
O altă postare începută pe fb și mutată forțat aici fiindcă imediat ce am început să scriu a început să se crească foarte mult, ca laptele săracului înainte de a da în foc. Odată mutată postarea aici însă totul, până și tonul devine foarte serios.
Deși habar nu am de latină, în afara celor, nu știu, câteva sute de cuvinte din lexicul de bază al limbii române (ne-au ferit, au scos latina din școală exact în anul când treceam eu într-a șasea), care nu știu sigur care sunt, doar presupun, deși îmi stă la îndemână intersecția italienei sau englezei sau francezei cu româna, unde de obicei găsim cuvântul original latin, mai rar, sanscrit, dar nici atunci nu știu exact cuvintele literă cu literă în latină, mai ales chestii ca și conjugări, declinări, topică, acum voi încerca o etimologie a două cuvinte latine, care iată, nu vin din sanscrită sau greacă, ci cel mai probabil din sumeriană. Ceea ce justifică o bănuială născută acum vreo câteva zile, privind niște fețe din niște imagini de înaltă definiție cu basoreliefuri de pe columna lui Traian (coincidență sau nu cu numele Traian Băsescu, care de fapt, din profil încearcă să-l înfățișeze pe Decebal). Adică romanii nu au venit așa de niciunde și au început să cucerească tot începând din jurul Mediteranei.
În treacăt fie spus, online găsim foarte puține dicționare de latină, Google Translate pare să fie baza, cu atât mai puțin dicționare etimologice de latină. DEX e destul de ușor de interogat cu google, putem scoate o listă pe calea aceasta, deși nu e nici pe departe exhaustivă fiindcă google, deși promite mult când spune că a găsit nu știu câte, un googol de rezultate, în realitate nu dă decât vreo câteva sute de rezultate pe căutare.
Mult mai interesant pentru etimologii din alte limbi, o interogare google a DEX pentru cuvinte latine dă mai mult neologisme și încă nu am aflat cum pot să sortez alfabetic o căutare google.
De pe acum pot să spun că îmi voi depăși promisiunea fiindcă mi-a venit în minte și al treilea cuvânt, care pare să vină din aceeași direcție. Înainte de asta însă o etimologie din limba română pe care am găsit-o întâmplător, deschizând pagina de Wikipedia a gramaticii limbii latine. (Al doilea paragraf).
Îmi pare rău că nu mai am timp de fun la ora asta. Toate aceste patru cuvinte au la bază rădăcina An care este sumeriană unde înseamnă cer sau Dumnezeul Ceurilor. Un annum latin ar fi deplasarea și revenirea zodiilor cerești în aceeași poziție. Întoarcerea eternă a lui An, dacă doriți. Wheel in the sky.
(Și ciudățenia. Deși mulți cred și spun că ultimul cuvânt din listă în sensul cel mai folosit în engleză și română vine din latină, nu am găsit nicăieri acest sens. Dar există cuvinte moștenite în italiană și franceză. Anziano și aîné. Mai avem în engleză, franceză, ancient, ancien, antique, etc..)
E greu de căutat online traducerea acestui cuvânt. Însă găsim ușor altceva. Fii cerului.
We've seen in the year that passed that more taboos (read conventions or for the English speaker, rules) have been broken. Diplomacy, separation of powers, powers in the state invented by Montesquieu) were being sacrificed simply for creating noise for combating new ideas. More people are raised without even the knowledge of past social structure, if it ever existed, other than in the imagination of some.
Practicing religions like Christanism has gone long time ago, maybe after Bush II and 911.
Politically correctness have become a slogan of the lost. Heads of state are used to prove we actually live in an delusional anarchy. Can't even say that since i recon, anarchy means more a chaotic manifestation of raw power which to me at least it has proven non-existent. Large masses are without power, without direction, lost in hedonism and adoration of magicians.
I've been browsing recently the TV series Babylon 5. A Sci-Fi series riddled with politics. There are many lessons in there to be learned but again the young are raised without even being thought the basics of what we knew as sociology, politics.
However many of those lessons are naive as our social live has been since better documented in modern times. In a way, we live in a sort of reality that surpasses the scenery of that show. Most important, this year we only saw the tip of the iceberg.
Honestely, i don't know what forces are manifesting, but to me they seem out of this world, by all the concepts mentioned above.
But it may be only the nothingness described in Buddha's hRdaya sUtra that's manifesting. As this Universe was born from a grain of nothingness and came to this impossible to perceive complexity, so may be the philosophy behind the scenes, seeded millennia ago by this most important Buddhist mantra.
One more thought about diabetes and cancer that is linked to the above.
Don't know where it starts but i think it starts with the adoration of idols, things that personifies our deepest desires. Since we cannot reproduce the high given by the complicity of reflection of our sins we get addicted to those and then start either imitating them or deluding ourselves thinking we find those traits in people surrounding us. Nobody can do what those magicians are doing. They are wired this way. They have a society of their own. In the scientific/technological way, they are like the Minbari in the movie, most advanced in the Alliance. But they might have accumulated all that knowledge from others. In the social way, we don't know how they interact among selves. But it is most likely most of the traits are inherited and kept within and thought since early age. To them, hypnotizing the rest of us may be a skill rooted in their collective subconscious. Maybe they are those who were called in Mahabharata "the snakes". But they also may be just a tool of others. Others like Buddha, the extreme bully, who reduced all to nothing in order to re-create a better world. It is the most extreme form of the death/re-creation myth in from all religions.
After you've been touched by your sin accepted by their mirror, you can never reproduce that high. And that's when you start using pain to get it back. Because pain mixed with pleasure is what you feel when you are bullied by beauty by the priests and priestess of Ishtar. You are being crushed with glamour. You loose all your self respect and senses and become, like "Linda Ronstadt" said, a desperado searching for more, something your body cannot obtain anymore. You start turning your face to strange. (There is one country on Earth that has the capital named Buda and God, Ishten.)
Then, to get that, you start to tolerate and ignore pain that may come from pollutants from environment. Your body starting with parts, like lower part, lowers metabolism as a response to inflammation caused by those. Most enzymes and myriad of bio-chemical mechanisms in your body function optimally in a certain range of temperature.
It may be you are lowering metabolism by holding breath. Lowering oxygen triggers high stress that is usually involved with attaining high levels of pleasure.
Lack of oxygen in tissues, lowering of temperature and metabolism, ignoring or killing pain is the key in both diabetes and cancer. In a way, it is the high given by this mix pain/pleasure sought for that's killing you in the end. "These things that are pleasing you can hurt you somehow". Or like the Bible says. Wage of sin is death.
Too prove that the song is part of the conspiracy, like many or maybe all others. At the end, there's a rainbow, which is only a reflection, refraction and dispersion of light. Twisted if you like.
I knew this was going to happen. I forgot to look at the sign at the door two days ago.
Last night when we came back from Canyonville (200 miles south of Portland) at about 5 AM i heard a large dog walking upstairs. No car in the spot. Then i slept until 4 PM.
I've been reading stuff on the internet for the last hours. Now it's seven. At one time i heard knocking upstairs like hitting a nail in the wall.
Then i went to do some cooking in the kitchen and i started to feel the pain in the area with the vocal chords. Some coarsening on low register. I knew. There was a new hole behind the fridge.
(For the last few days i've been sleeping in the bedroom and after being gone for one more night i finally started to have the "diabetes thirst). But today after i got exposed to that dust the thirst sensation is gone. Because that dust contains dog feces bacteria, it will kill your appetite for water)
Pulled the fridge and found the holes, at the joint between cabinet and wall. Where i already put some foam (years ago) and a new line of silicon caulking (a week ago). Found two holes, one major, and covered it again with silicon.
All the time i've been thinking about what happened yesterday. People bullying me on the road (basically everybody, mostly driving very close behind me than passing on the right exactly when i was thinking to pull out of their way, blinding me with high beams on the mirror, other maneuvers). I looked at their faces several times before dark fell and i saw mostly Japanese guys. Even one with a dark American style goatee. Some whites putting a face show. I saw a guy looking at the sky as he wasn't driving. Perfect coordination between multiple vehicles making me thing they are guided by AI, some maybe self driving.
When we left Portland a traffic slowdown and we ended behind a yellow bus CT (i believe China Tour) while the traffic was slowdown from the other direction so they can take a look.
(I don't know what is happening, it did happen several time in the past, while writing here on fb at about this length of the post there is so much lag, it type three new words before one shows so i'm moving on the blog).
Several miles before Rice Hills exit a guy in a huge black Cadillac (i assume by the shape of the tail lights figuring two parenthesis or horns) came at 10 ft behind me blinding me with his high beams on the mirrors. Then he continued doing the same thing to others as i slowed down and remained behind the group.
About 2 miles before Rice Hills i was doing 80 in a 65 area (130 kmh, like everybody else) with low beam, no car in front of me for a quarter mile, an obelisk of hay (square bale) resting layed several feet on the left side of my lane. A reflex made me pull right as it showed in my low beam and if there was any delay in my maneuver i would have hit it. Several miles after i met with a on old small red pickup with a trailer with more of those bales with an yellow LPN starting with 53).
Finally made it to Canyonville. I pulled at the gas station. A show in there two. The next logic pump had a receipt left in it. 260 miles, 8.1 gallons, freeway only. (about a week ago i fixed a vacuum leak, a loose screw by the catch can). Going to Canyonville is going a bit uphill. When trying to leave, a Japanese woman blocked me and trying to stay here as long as i could to insinuate i was buying gas twice.
Nice decoration and sinister exhaust noises in the parking lot at 7 Feathers. At every intersection people bullying. There was lots of smoke in the parking lot.
I played mostly poker for several hours (learned the rules for Jacks and Better, it's the easiest). According to the card, i cycled about 500 dollars and spent only 50. At 50 cents a hand, that is about 1000 hands. I lost constantly, with only 2 or 3 high hands (four of a kind).
But the show in there. Whites only, country music on the speakers. Tall, no, giants, walking as they didn't see me (had to avoid getting in everybody's path). Moving fast, energetic, as they should being from the country side. At one time i thought i saw a woman who remembered me of Carrie Underwood. She looked upset, no, sad, than she sat at the machine where i though Angela was. So when i ran out of money and went to Angela, she was there in here place. She did that several times.
Just about when we left, there he was. Alex da Kid, with a whole team, smiling at me. He then got in my line of sight as i was near Angela trying to convince her to leave. Then he walked in front of us as we were searching for a restroom before we left (the single ones in non-smoking areas where both closed, there was a security guy watching them).
Then i left. Last night i learned a very important lesson. With instant average fuel consumption display on, i realized that on rain, the consumption between 70 and 80 raises by almost 15%. So it's best to drive at up to 70 on rain. It must be the energy used you raise the cloud of water behind with your tires. On dry condition, with that car which has a drag coefficient of .31, there is no difference in consumption between 40 and 90.
But i didn't know that, i was getting under 32, so i pulled to the next rest area to check tire pressure. However, they were the other way around. 36-38 in front, 34-32 in rear at 35 F. I let them last time at 34 front, 32 rear at same temperature. Over inflation in rain condition (they were places with 32 degrees outside, so black ice could have developed) may lead to skidding so i put them back to where they were. I know tires can deflate by themselves, but how in the world can they inflate?
In the rest area, a huge engine idling, masking the hissing sound of me deflating a bit. Then i had a deja vu. I think i did that again last time when i came from there.
More stuff on the road. At the hill next to Mercedes dealership in Wilsonville a guy in an older car, maybe a square Volvo, with taillights dimmed by dirt slowed down going uphill and i saw it in the last moment and avoided it, etc..
Babylonian Isthar morphed (they say, the historians) into Isis in Egypt. But her face reminds of something else.
Anyways.
I have never known this expression, "One eyed wanderer", until i listened to Elton John's song. Can you feel the love. Today i started to reason. Isis is the goddess of love, sex and war. What interests me now is her son, Horus. There are Egyptian amulets and papyri that represent Wadjet in the form of the eye of Horus.
But who in mythology of the people is an one eye god? Odin of course. And Odin's son's name, Thor, sounds a bit like Osiris' son's name, Horus. (BTW, numeral one in Russian is один).
We all know the importance of Norse gods in our lives. After all, in English they gave us the names of some of the days of the week. Odin for Wednesday, Thor for Thursday, Freya for Friday. The others, Sunday (day of Sun), Monday (day of Moon), Saturday (from Saturn) i guess come from the Romans. In French the name for Friday is venerdi. Freya and Venere are both godesses of love. Venus is Romanized Isis (note here the Roman name Lucifer for the sometimes horny godess Isis, horned Vikings). Wednesday is mercredi, mercoledi in Italian, obviously from wandering Mercury, Thursday is jeudi or jovedi from Jupiter of course (also a thunderous god) and mardi, martedi is for Mars. Wondering where samedi came from, cause i know about sabbato).
What else do we got. Pyramids. There are pyramids in Sweden or so they say.
Thor with a long cap, goatee and an ank like instrument.
Klingon mythology, what else. Ancient Greeks had their mythology. Ancient Romans had their mythology, though derived from Greek one. There is Norse mythology and there is Christian mythology. But what is mythology? Collection of stories of a people, says Google. Klingon mythology is, however a collection of stories within a story, like a frame within a frame as someone recently said. Is it real? I don't know, to me Ancient Greeks are pretty similar to aliens cause i don't think i relate to them in any ways. Except for the story of Titans which might be related (as name only) to Teton Mountains Range in the US which are close to Yellowstone, or one of the biggest volcanoes in the world. It's not really much from there to thetans and another contemporary space type mythology that includes volcanoes. Scientology.
So what are Klingons? The name. Klingon could be o substitute for Clean gone, like Kenmore is for Can more. Or Kent Clark is for Can, klar. Should i say subliminal? Yes, if most people who read this never figured it out. Cause subliminal stands for everything meaningful that is beyond normal perception. In other words you see it, you hear it but not perceive it as such, though your vast subconscious does. Charactonyms (names of characters) are also chosen to express main features of characters. Are they subliminal? Yes, if most people who hear about can't figure it out by themselves. Stage names, chosen names in second life or avatar names, the same.
Because of much writing i started to think in lines like the ones i'm writing here. All day in the kitchen, at the car, cleaning, cooking and fixing kept repeating these lines in my mind. One brings another and they come nice and fast to me but too bad i can't record them and they fly away superseded by my real small problems i can't exist without. But i'm sure i will see lines in the news tomorrow that were part of my lines in my mind today. Distorted. That is if i can't write them all down today.
"You were thinking too fast, Gigi!"
Let me explain this first. In countries like Romania, Italy, Gigi is a male's name. No way a woman could have this name. It is familiar for George. In Italy for Luigi. In Britain, France and US is a woman's name though rare in real life.
This is what Dan Costan, with a big grin on his face, told me after he sent me to gas chamber.
Obviously, they didn't want to kill me but only my mind. I was a vegetable 10 years after and ten more struggling to figure who i am. For what purpose thinking too fast? Of course for the purpose of thought guessing.
So what it Sto-vo-kor? Did you figure it out yet? Let me write it differently. Stovo-kor. Rings a bell?
To me it's obvious it represents hearth. I can't imagine other heaven for people living in the far North, like Inuit, Eskimo, Ainu, Sámi. Don't really know their mythology. These extreme Nordics are mostly animists, with little conceptualization other than every object and phenomenon is in fact a spirit. Don't know if any of them has a (concept of) heaven, but if so it must be a place with a big hearth. Stove oh core!
Ok but what this has to do with everything and why is a subject strong enough to tempt me sacrifice my time and little comfort tonight to write a blog post.
Lately like anybody in serious trouble i'm struggling to learn again to trust my subconscious. (After i reprimanded it for years for thinking it got me in trouble). Or intuition, the same. One day my intuition came at me and told me. You know what? Klingons of the New Generation of course do look like samurai per cause of forehead and behavior (Romulans like Romans, Ferengi of course, Jews ha ha, with their own code what else?). Today my curiosity was also strong enough to send me do a search. And what did i find.
"Obviously for the Romulans we had Romans, and we've had different cultures modeled on those of ancient Earth, but I tried to think of what the Klingon society would be like. The Japanese came to mind, so basically that's what it was, with the Sacred Emperor, the Warlord and so on".
And it's not only that. Klingons have a code of honor like samurai do. All they do is fight. Even their heaven is a fiery place of combat. But what else did i find. "Sto'Vo'Kor [a spelling variant] is similar to Valhalla of Earth's Viking culture."
So now we go into a possible deeper connection. But that will follow tomorrow. But let me make first a note here about
Ok and since i left at Klingons, let me make another little note here. Work (a Freudian slip, wanted to write Worf of course) was raised by Russian adoptive parents who tried and succeeded to re-create unaltered an environment with his original culture just for the purpose of raising him properly (what would do a strong alien with two hearts and many of his bodily functions redundant for greater chance in survival in battle then fight heroically?). Ainu, the most far eastern Nordic people, are shared by both Russia and northern Japan.
I wouldn't have kept my promise but tried to sleep and couldn't. Must be the traditional Romanian garlic sauce i ate with fish tonight. Or the weird smoke from outside. Or the mold from walls and stove. Something on this line that sickened me slowly but surely for decades. I saw and episode of Babylon 5 in which a Vorlon projected and image of an angel in the mind of G'Kar who took psychedelic dust in order to become telepathic and scan the mind of ...Londo. And the poor narn took the bait thinking he was seeing God or something and spared the life of the two Centauri who conquered his world. But all these is another mythology, that of Babylon 5, the recurrent future return of the "oldest civilization on Earth". And here is the vision that came to mind. Sorry i could not find a better resolution.
However i found yesterday another picture that also corresponds to my vision and that has satisfactory resolution.
Sweden do not have Eskimo or Inuit like the two women above. They have Sami also known as Laplander. A brief search showed no connection to the 3 above other that being able to live in the harsh conditions of far North. Inuit and Eskimo of North America used to live in igloos.
While Sami of the Lapland of Northern Sweden, Norway and even Russia enjoyed a better climate.
Apparently could not find any connection let's say between Sami and the Inuit. Except for one of my experience. Sammamish City in the State of Washington. Still hypotethical cause there's only this linguistic argument to prove it. Found something else though:
"The designation Inuit (adopted by ethnologists at the Washington International Conference) groups together several Arctic populations spread between 56°N and 76°N, from eastern Siberia as far as the east coast of Greenland, a territory that totals 15 000 km of coastline. From the linguistic point of view, the Inuit are classified into two groups:..." Transcontinental.
Twin Peaks is a title everybody remembers but most (at the time me included) never realy understood the movie which is a collection of thoughts and images that somehow fits the American culture at that moment but also heavily loaded with hidden messages. Another modern mythical place though the falls in the film and all other locations are real and not far from Sammamish City.
Is the the background of regular Oregon Licence Plates inspired from the movie? Most likely though few people even Oregonians ever payed attention. Ins't that the definition of hidden message or subliminal? Are they suggesting two Sami tents?
But i never knew until right now that Twin Peaks is a real place in... Oregon, some 60 miles South East from Portland.
Where am i getting at? Not far from conclusion.
Living isolated in the long dark arctic winters. Possibly in a crammed and isolated igloo with your wife, kids, dogs, supplies, yeasts, mold and bacteria. Not seeing daylight for 6 months though arctic night is not that dark because the Sun is never far below under horizon. But still. One can only imagine the type of relations that develop. You hear every breath, you feel every smell. A number of survival skill should develop and that may include some sort of intuitive but deep psychology. First instinctive, then conceptualizing into spirits, a manipulation of the spirits can develop for surviving reasons. Thought guessing and to my guess, a form semi-conscious telepathy based on vibration communication, common between all vertebrates.
Why could all these might have conceptualized into a spirit world. Most likely, for mnemonic purposes.
Then a few days ago i read about co-marriage in the Inuit culture which actually prompted me to write this post. It's clearly a necessity. Because of extreme isolation, for lack of socialization, you have to do this from time to time for the reason of sanity. You cannot spend time with the same person, in the dark, so many months without going crazy and without any information/cultural exchange with anybody else. Also for reason of "diversifying" your immune system and gene pool. Other reasons that may be economic as they guess those who wrote about it.
Shamans get involved. It is said co-wives are chosen from another village. It is said that extraordinary, unknown to our Mediterranean dominant culture bonds can form between the 4 involved in such relationships. But side effects and discoveries may have occurred and that could had been turned into forms of magic practiced to this day. As successful as they are completely unknown to the rest of us.
In the end, in a way, i think it is not much different that most married people in our civilized world do occasionally though is (was) institutionalized and socially acceptable.
Could those magic practices have been further "rationalized" in modern times, included maybe in Shinto, Freemasonry, ninjutsu. Could they be at the root of person substitution, other occult practices we (don't realy) see today.
To this day nobody could answer me one question. Is that a swastika in the middle of the "flag of Portland"?
