Owl metaphor (Swedenborg)
I
still do not know what do think of Swedenborg, which is why I only
pick up from time to time one of the books of his which I have
borrowed from two libraries here in Lausanne; in other words, I
read a passage here or there only whenever I feel inclined to do
so – as opposed to getting acquainted with his account of his
alleged dealings with creatures from the angelic realm in a far
more studious manner, which would be to do so by reading one of
the three works of Swedenborg’s which are
still with me here in my flat from cover to cover [pfui,
18th century English is having an impact on my own writing].
Last Sunday, I did so and I was fortunate to come across this
little pearl of a paragraph:
102. The angels seem
astonished when they hear of men, who ascribe all to nature, and
nothing to the Deity, and can believe that their own bodies, which
consist of so many wonderful correspondences and representations of
heavenly things, should be formed and fashioned by inanimate nature
; and what is still more absurd, that they should assign no higher
origin to the rational principle ; whereas the least
exercise of reflexion might suffice to demonstrate this to
be the effect of a divine formation ; and that nature was created on
purpose to serve for a covering or outward exhibition of what is
spiritual, and to yield a corresponding representation of the fame
in the lowest order of things. All such are compared by the angels
to owls, which see in the dark, but
are blind in the light.
For three weeks, my fingers had been itching almost daily for me to
have a go at the following short post about what had immediately
struck me as a coded expression
for those to whom the video clip I am going to very briefly broach was
partly addressed. Fear is what prevented me from doing so. Fear of the
consequences in the light of the fact that the country where I live is
one where dissenters have files drawn up about them (more than 20
years ago, 800,000 files were disclosed to have been made about people
deemed as potential threats to national security; unsurprisingly, this
was a major embarrassment to the government but the files were not
destroyed). In addition, I shall say nothing about two major
institutions that have played a major role in bringing about ‘Planet
Lockdown’ and which are headquartered roughly only 70 to 80
kilometres from where I live. This is why, in a very cowardly fashion,
I felt that by keeping my head firmly below the parapet this would
ensure that I would not end up being fired at – metaphorically
speaking, of course [wink, wink].
So three weeks ago, the UK’s former Health Minister recorded himself
and thereafter published this clip of his address to the country on
his Twitter account (https://twitter.com/MattHancock/status/1408836570069753858).
He did so to explain to the British people why he had resigned from
what was surely one of the three most important positions in the UK
government. I do not intend to say much about this clip except for the
string of words that would have struck me as particularly odd if I had
not immediately come to the conclusion that they were intended for an
audience other than the general public. The more so as the three-plosive-peppered
phrase ‘build back better’ is one that several heads of state
and even the UN Secretary General have used in televised addresses: http://paulzanotelli.ch/videos/0169e6a4a338517d.mp4.
To come back to Matthew Hancock’s short resignation clip, here is how
it ends: I’m very proud of what we’ve done to protect the NHS at the peak,
to deliver that vaccine rollout – one of the fastest in the world –
and I look forward to supporting the government and the Prime
Minister from the backbenches, to make sure that we can get out of
this pandemic. We’re so close to the end, and then build
back better, so that this country can fulfil its potential,
which is so great, and I will do that with all of my heart.
It is late here, so I shall not write much more. If you do not know
what ‘build back better’ means, then think of Klaus Schwab’s Great
Reset (it is the title of his latest book, which, with a bit of luck,
you might even find online). If this is not enough, then try to see
how you can fit these two quasi-Orwellian slogans with the UN’s own
Agenda 2021 and Agenda 2030. Are you still not any closer to the
meaning of ‘build back better’? Well, here is a tip from the EU’s
biodiversity target for 2030 (30 per cent by 2030), a target made
official in 2020 and to be ratified by the end of this year (2021): https://ec.europa.eu/environment/strategy/biodiversity-strategy-2030_en.

Echo, now you answer.
In a
short story written by Paul Morand, a French diplomat who was also a man
of letters (and an accomplished prose writer at that), a couple of weeks
ago I came across a quote which resonated with my own experience of how
things work in this reality – sufficiently so for me to make a mental
note that the quote would fit nicely in my weblog section. For fear that
I might be opening a can of worms by associating it with a recent
resignation in UK politics I have refrained from including it here so
far. However, I deem it to be too good a quote not to do so. So let
us forget about the association that sprung in my mind and simply pretend that the quote is a distant
allusion to the Hermetic theory of correspondences… The title
of the short story from which the following two sentences are excerpted
is ‘Écho, répondez !’ (‘Echo, answer’), a short story
which was published in 1921 in L’Europe galante (translated in
1924 as Europe at Love by Guy Chapman): Oserait-on dire que le monde est peuplé de correspondances
inconnues, d'allusions vivantes, d'invisibles symétries ? Nos actes
ont-ils double face ? Ou ne sont-ils que réfraction, comme ces rayons
qui, traversant certains cristaux, se divisent en deux ?
Dare one think that the world is peopled with unknown correspondences,
living allusions, invisible symmetries? Have our actions two faces? or
are they only refracted like rays which, coming through certain
crystals, split in two? (tr. Guy Chapman)

Will Sunday’s Italy vs England final at Wembley lead to gene therapy
inoculation becoming compulsory in Europe as a result of
continent-wide contamination by the Delta variant?
Nowadays, I have zero interest in football. So I did not know
that Sunday’s final would see Italy face England (i.e. dad versus mum)
for the title of European Champion at Wembley until a telephone call
from a friend yesterday. Apparently, England vs Denmark ended to the
former’s advantage after England were given a penalty under, shall we
say, ‘contentious circumstances’*.
From what I recall, Italy have had the upper hand over England in all
previous quarter-final or semi-final tournament matches (Euro and
World Cup). However, the final will take place on the latter’s home
turf and the referees might again provide some ‘twists and turns’* in
favour of England. And I must repeat that it is not because mum is
English and dad Italian that I do not want to pick a side. Rather it
is because I see football as a diversion from far more important
issues (be they socio-economic, political or even spiritual in
nature). In fact, I consider our society’s post World War II obsession
with sports as nothing more than a mere rehash of the Roman elites’
regular gift to the plebs of free ‘panem et circenses’
(bread and games) to prevent them from starving whilst keeping them at
the same time distracted and happy.
Worse: given the recent surge in the so-called Delta variant of
covid-19 in the UK**, one should
find it puzzling that football fans were allowed to congregate in such
huge numbers in places like Wembley. People with a cynical mindset or
those who have been highly distrustful of governmental decisions since
the covid-19 outbreak in Europe in late January 2020 will argue that
such events were allowed to take place only in the hope that any new
variants would spread to Europe, thereby giving both the EU and non-EU
states the pretext to make gene therapy inoculation compulsory across
continental Europe. I was alerted to such a possibility as I was
looking for Dr Coleman’s videocast ‘Who is pulling the strings?’
(which I found at https://davidicke.com/2020/07/07/who-is-pulling-the-strings/
with https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Dr+Vernon+Coleman+strings+July+2020&ia=web)
and I came across one of David Icke.com’s memes in the right
hand section of the page:

Well, David Icke will either be proved wrong or vindicated in no more
than six months from now. So ‘wait and see’, as they say in the UK...
This was the question the courageous English GP turned journalist
(i.e. the one and only Dr Vernon Coleman) dared to ask a year ago on
this day. This question is so important that even without having had
the courtesy to request from Dr Coleman the permission to do so, I am
reproducing below some excerpts from his article whose title I have
used as is. I have decided to do so today
on the anniversary of the publishing of this articlebecause
the war is far from over and because I deem Dr Coleman’s article to
be a powerful weapon (i.e. truth) at the disposal of those who wish
to fight back against the mass culling that is being perpetrated
against most of humanity. The article is available in full at
https://www.vernoncoleman.com/inthewar.htm.
[For other articles written by this courageous elderly man, take a
look at https://vernoncoleman.com/hnat.htm.]
You can listen to him (or watch Dr Coleman) at https://ugetube.com/watch/what-did-you-do-in-the-war_dqRGNkPVs2KRFJ9.html,
at https://www.bitchute.com/video/6FMCQDiD8jr9
or even at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIPLx1eOdhQ
(although YT should be accessed only in the very last
resort because of the immense role both this company and its parent
company have played in censoring the truth). Because he was being
censored on YT, Dr Vernon Colemanhas been publishing his recordings of himself reading his
articles on BrandNewTube for about a year now, at https://brandnewtube.com/@DrVernonColeman.
[...] I’ve been writing about medical matters for a long, long
time and I am pretty well accustomed to the fact that governments and
official bodies hide truths, suppress facts and spout a lot of
nonsense to keep us all looking in the wrong direction so that they
can carry on deceiving us.
But I have never known anything like this.
These days the world’s governments and the major global organisations
have taken things one stage further by employing people to take down
information they don’t like, whether it is true or not, to spread
confusion and bewilderment along with the fears, and to put up false
information to mislead and to guide us into deadly traps.
[...] YouTube apparently now has a policy to censor doctors or
scientists who disagree with the view of the World Health
Organisation.
[...] The BBC seems to have become addicted to spreading what is now
called ‘fear porn’ – using government propaganda to terrify people
into submitting to whatever lunatic ideas are currently in vogue.
[...] I’ve worked extensively for national newspapers and TV stations
round the world and I can tell you that the best researchers, writers
and broadcasters are currently working online – and not in mainstream
media. The mainstream media is a disgrace.
[...] The mainstream media, both print and broadcasting, has been
bought – either by governments or by private individuals or
organisations – and so any attempts to provide an alternative view, to
question the official, party line or to discuss contentious issues
will be banned. There is no longer any freedom of speech.
[...] [Dr Coleman mentions the deagel.com
projections -- which I shall have to comment upon; I stumbled across
them 2 years ago, maybe.]
[...] Albert Camus, the Nobel Prize winning author of The Plague
wrote that the only means to fight the plague is honesty – and
although he was writing about a different plague, and a fictional one,
his words ring loud and clear today.
[...] Perhaps they want to encourage people to put up bizarre claims
so that they can suppress everything – claiming that they are doing so
to protect us. And this, of course, is exactly what happens in a war.
Truth, as has always been said, is the first casualty of war. And
truth was certainly an early casualty of this war.
[...] We’re fighting a war. But, sadly, tragically, we are fighting a
war against our own government and against most other governments in
the world.
World War III has started – and it will be over before many people,
the zombies, know it has even started.
Who would have ever thought it could come to this. We all have to be
prepared to answer the question: ‘What did you do in the war?’

‘Who is pulling the strings?’
This is the question the ‘Old Man in a Chair’ (a more appropriate
designation would be ‘the old, former surgeon/GP turned anti Big Pharma
journalist’) asked in front of his webcam a year and a day ago. You can
listen to Dr Vernon Coleman* reading
aloud his script on YT, at https://youtu.be/xNTTBQX-HQQ
[as I do not wish to embed any YT videos here], or you can read
the script itself, at https://vernoncoleman.com/thestrings.htm.
Dr Vernon Coleman asks some very pertinent questions (which are still valid
a year later – for instance, why were there so few deaths in Japan?) and
ends his recording with an ominous warning: ‘We now have a situation
where the most dangerous prisoners have taken over the prison.’
* Forget
about the hit piece against him published on Wikipedia, one
of the Internet’s four main gatekeepers,
as, to me, Dr Coleman’s
integrity seems beyond doubt** and he
is brave enough to have been voicing
a totally contrarian stance on covid-19, the lockdowns and the vaccination
programmes for nearly a year and a half now.
** [to quote his own words] ‘Some
years ago I resigned from a well-paid column on a British Sunday
newspaper because the editor refused to print a column questioning
the validity of the Iraq War. I didn’t believe in the weapons of
mass destruction claims and I thought we were being lied to. I
didn’t see the point in writing a column if I wasn’t allowed to
express my honestly felt views. Resigning from that column on a
matter of principle meant that I didn’t get any more newspaper work.
Editors don’t much like columnists who have principles – and it cost
me dearly in financial terms.’

Some European nobles wanted only their bones to
be preserved.
An undeniable reference to a Christianised rendering of the life
review process (which goes back to Ancient Egypt) in the famous Ars
moriendi of the 15th century (in many ways, the equivalent of an
European – and thus Christian – book of the dead) spurred me into trying to
find a digitised version of this work
in full and in Latin. Unfortunately, I was only able to trace copies of the
abridged version in that language (and
thus with only brief references to the life review process). However, not
only were my many online queries still worth my time owing to the multiple
interesting woodcuts I came to see but also because of this strange (even if
a little macabre) piece of information I stumbled across:
Agostino Paravicini Bagliani states in “The Corpse in the Middle Ages”
that monarchs and important Church leaders sometimes left
specific instructions in their testaments on the removal of their
entrails from the body and that their flesh be separated from the bones,
so that each could be buried elsewhere (329-30). The
dismemberment of the corpse was followed by boiling it in a mixture of
wine and spices until the bones turned white and could be easily
separated from the flesh. This disturbing practice was common
throughout Europe until September 27, 1299 when Pope
Boniface VIII condemned it in the decree “Detestande
feritatis” and threatened
excommunication of anyone who violated the dictate (333).
Paravicini Bagliani states that Godfrey of Fontaines believed that only
the bodies of the saints could be divided “for the common good” (333).
Before this decree, the dismemberment of a
corpse was a common and preferred practice among the nobility
that spread to all parts of Europe. Some nobles defied the pope’s decree
and were dismembered for their burial(s). In order not to disturb the
decomposition process of a noble who had been buried away from his
requested final resting place, an exhumation of the bones could take place
once the full decomposition had occurred. The exhumation of bones and
placing them in an ossuary was a popular option and became a common
practice that solved the problem of overcrowding in the cemeteries, as was
the case in the Cemetery of the Innocents in Paris.

Arte de bien morir: Changes in the Church’s Official Discourses
From Fifteenth Century Spain to Eighteenth Century Mexico, by Pamela
Bastante, a doctoral thesis submitted to the University of British Columbia
in 2006
Although mediaeval history was one of the subjects I studied at Geneva
University’s Faculty of Letters many years ago, I must confess that I had
never heard of this practice until yesterday, so I must take these authors’
words for it. However, the Middle Ages lasted for roughly a thousand years
here in Europe and I believe that uniformity in terms of societal and social
practices was still lacking in many ways (despite the common threads of
feudalism, the importance of the church as well as of a farming-based type
of economy on people’s lives), therefore leaving ample room for some really
weird practices. Finally, the European Ars moriendi is such a
fascinating subject that I really hope to be able to write about it more
fully in future posts

Jones’s eyebrow-raising allegations
Although I have serious reservations about Alex Jones and his operation
(which is a highly polarising force I
must repeat), I occasionally
listen to extracts of his show and thereafter I often ascertain the validity
of some of the claims he made during what usually amounts to a series of
theatrical but highly effective, emotion-stirring and scoop-seeking rants
well suited to the screen format, so ubiquitous in our world and in many
ways today’s equivalent of a preacher’s
pulpit given the shift contemporary societies have undergone from
the religious to the ‘society of the
spectacle’ (Guy Debord). Well, the excerpt of his show aired almost
a week ago, entitled ‘Breaking:
CDC admits covid-19 vaccines don’t work/are causing heart attacks’,
was packed with headlines bound to raise a few eyebrows; here are some of
the rather fringe topics Alex Jones mentioned in his broadcast and which I
have been able to find online as well as one which purports to corroborate Jones’s claim that human-animal hybrid experiments
have already been conducted successfully…

Shakespeare’s characters:

The fate that awaits the pusillanimous according to Homer and Dante.
My mis-recollection of a very short reference (in French) to the work of the
mediæval Italian poet (and esotericist) Dante Alighieri (which I came across
whilst going through some kind of esoterical-theosophical work in French
published roughly a year and a half ago whilst on the short train ride
taking me home) caused me (a couple of hours later) to want to check my
mis-association of Dante Alighieri and thought-forms on one of the
privacy-focused search engines (duckduckgo). As a result, not only did I
find out that 1) John F. Kennedy (whom some consider to have been the last
real US president) was very fond of a passage in Dante Alighieri’s The
Divine Comedy, but that the latter may well have been influenced by
2) another towering figure of European literature: the Greek poet Homer.
1)
[...] Virgil explains to Dante that these souls cannot enter either
Heaven or Hell because they did not choose
one side or another. They are therefore worse than the greatest
sinners in Hell because they are repugnant to both God and Satan alike,
and have been left to mourn their fate as insignificant
beings neither hailed nor cursed in life or death, endlessly
travailing below Heaven but outside of Hell. This scene occurs in the
third canto of the Inferno [...]
2)
The Asphodel Meadows in Homer correspond to hell’s
vestibule in Dante’s Inferno:
the realm of neutrality where the
souls of people who are neither good nor evil (who are indifferent) go. This
is where the majority of humanity ends up, all condemned because they were “neutrals” who refused to commit themselves to
any cause other than themselves (negative libertarians, in other
words). Dante called all of these
souls, lacking a sacred cause greater than their own immediate
self-interest, the Ignavi. Nietzsche named them the “last men”.
They are the grey people, the bland
and banal, the bystanders in life,
those who always seek small, trivial
advantages and never do anything grand, interesting and challenging.
In Homer, these nondescript, contemptible
people stand in a vast field forever, like the grey flowers by which they
are surrounded. This is exactly the fate they deserve.
According to some, these neutral souls had to drink from
the River Lethe — the waters of forgetfulness — before entering the fields.
Thus they lost their memories and identities and became nothing
but wandering spirits little different from plants blowing in the wind.
If you make no impact in life —if you don’t become a hero — that’s what
happens to you. So, make sure you join the heroes.
