    GraciousLearned,  KAMA = love and pleasure,

 

ARTHA = power and success,  DHARMA =

 

lawful-moral-order-virtue, and  occasionally,

 

MOKSHA = release from  delusion.  Buddha (600BC)

 

Verily!  Only he who is desireless can  discern the

 

Secret-Essences ; unrelieved of desire, we see

 

only shells.  Only where all is clean will the spirit abide.

 

All men desire to know, but they do not enquire into that

 

by which one knows.

 

By the time Buddha spoke these words, the intellectual-world

 

had a 100 year warm-up.  Can you imagine a steppe-shepherd’s

 

surprise when he first saw the Baku FirePillars?  RAM and the

 

pony were feeling very Alive-Active in this new air;  while

 

MountainAir is closer to Odin and Thor, blood-hemoglobin transfers

 

more oxygen to each cell at LOWERaltitudes. There is more

 

pressure, more oxygen, less nitrogen (one of the main cards for

 

amino-acid-poker.)  Your brain loves to shuffle the cards in your

 

head when SEROTONIN is released or Prozac-floated.  Drugs

 

allow “BrainDrugs”  free release;  self-inhibition is minimal and the

 

results are dependent on Spirit = breath = air  and INFO.  Our

 

delusion, as Buddha phrased MOKSHA, is the quality of material

 

you see, hear, read, and is your choice of life.  If your day is

 

infected with ShockRadioHATE, your life reflects this when anger

 

causes BrainDrugs like: norepinephrine, then adrenaline, then RAGE.

 

Federal buildings with day-care centers get bombed in this manner –

 

we all lose.

   Buddha said that you need to get rid of K-A-D because

 

they are EgoSuckerTraps.  Meditate on why these are

 

SuckerTraps and find firm ground to resist MARA’s temptations.

 

Have a definite limit, don’t get too far from the precise-middle ;

 

the Apollo-middleroad between excesses.  How many times do you

 

think you can SlalomTouch the line on either road-side before losing

 

control of the car?  The Buddha advocated meditativeBRAINdrugs

 

WAAAY before TV-VCR-magazines intruded with the daily news of

 

people living in Hell on this planet today…innocents and

 

KARMAdeserving .  The Hindu idea that “Untouchables deserve

 

suffering”  because PastKarma made this fate doesn’t consider the

 

many HumanSouls with “somewhere/anywhere desperation.”  Who

 

WANTS to sit in the waiting-room for centuries?  When every birth is a

 

PremiumBirth, the waiting time gets shorter – like an airport of people just

 

taking the next plane at the gate. Anywhere a plane lands is Paradise.

 

You’ve got a lifetime of MERIT to get advance-booking-privileges…if we

 

can turn our problems around.  End your delusion.  You are lucky you were

 

born into this MonadPeriod, smileÜ   Poor RAM was hooked on KAMA and

 

ARTHA after his DrugDays and  “view”  of the FirePillars. He thought he was

 

the ChosenOne viewing the Axis Mundi.  Obviously it had fire under the

 

columns of churning-clouds and it was next to the  Lake-of-Two-Knives

 

(Egyptian “Book of the Dead”) ; maybe Odin was the cloud and he was

 

powering the Earth with two piercing knives?  Why else would obsidian come

 

from an area near there?

 

              The BlackCrystal was from South-CaspianSea.

   Buddha’s struggle with MARA took one night – Jacob fought an

 

angel for one night (Genesis 32: 32)  In Sanskrit, “I” is AHAW.  MARA

 

used his  3  sons: MentalConfusion, Pride, and Gaiety  PLUS  his

 

3  daughters:  Lust, Delight, Pining,  to promote his 3-point program

 

(Trident) of Eros-Desire-Scare = The Trivarga(Trinity)  lust-love/

 

power-pride/ fear-death.      After the ordeal Buddha achieved 

 

1.Knowledge of his previous lives  2.Devine Eye   3.Understood

 

the law of DependentOrigination  4.At sunrise he was Omniscient.

 

Buddha was always fighting the EgoEffects of “I” because, for

 

a century before, the teaching was that in the beginning the Universe

 

was nothing but the “self” in the form of a man who shouted  “IT IS I”

 

when he found none other.  Sounds like RAM, but let me continue,

 

near Persia was the Tree-of-Two-Branches.  The W-branch had the

 

fruit of EternalLife.  “And if man should taste of both fruits he would

 

become as GOD himself.”(Genesis 3:22)  Islam and Christianity still

 

use this duality of good/evil but Buddha didn’t originate  this idea in

 

700 BC.  Who did?  Eros, Desire, Scare, almost sound like reasons

 

to become human (full LifeReview).  The 4 BRAINdrugs: dopamine,

 

norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, act on/in your brain for

 

depression, elation, mania.  RAM and AMU genes became Getae

 

(Thrace)  with a belief in the soul and afterlife by Buddha’s

 

time.  Getae means Shaman.  They used burning-HempBush-smoke

 

for visions and trances  ??Moses/God burning-bush (Exodus 3:2)??

 

By 500 BC MidEast common-folk smoked dope “religiously”.

   The Chinese used cannabis since 2700 BC using south and east

 

CaspianSea areas for their original sources.

 

The woody stem was a

 

good walking-staff  and serpents were carved into the winding rod.

 

The Greek word for cannabis is cannabeizin – close to

 

Canaan-Berzerker, isn’t it?  Some Thracians were Kurgan.  Their

 

pit-grave culture  goes back to AmazonHorse burials.  RAM found the

 

W-branch of the “Tree Originating In Persia”…while AMU’s later treks

 

found the E-branch.  Funeral burial was HOLY to the Amazons, and

 

now RAM saw the evil that could come…why would a Hittite King

 

demand cremation when 2800 BC Meso/Egypt preserved entire

 

RoyalCourts?  Thrace was near Mesopotamia (Gilgamesh story with

 

the prized-plant from the SeaBottom, stolen by a serpent as he slept)

 

and NEXT to Macedonia/Greece.  A thousand  years before Buddha,

 

the Persian “Rig Veda” repeatedly talks about Food-of-Life,

 

Water-of-Life, Lake-of-Milk, that lies hidden, ready for use, near the

 

ROOTS of the Tree-of-Life.  The “Tree” grows in the World’s Navel

 

or Axis Mundi ;  CosmicTree and Pillar-of-Earth were almost 7000

 

years after AMU-EPONA-RAM=AER= air = breath = Spirit.  These

 

associations are Greek and we know that ANAXIMANDER

 

(611-547 BC) the philosopher, visited Asia Minor mountains that

 

had fossils of sea-life at mountaintop.  He reasoned that all life started

 

from the sea (and was covering all), but the sea-level dropped from a

 

FLOOD?  Maybe glaciers might explain this. ANAXIMENES later said

 

that the Earth’s “states” (air, water, earth, clouds, ice) are DENSITY

                                    

differences of AER, common-matter in a rotating VORTEX.

 

               This theory was the DINE MODEL.

After the Dine Model, PYTHAGORUS demonstrated his

 

math-determined-shapes  and the Pythagorian Table of Contraries:

 

odd/even, one/many, right/left, rest/motion, light/dark, good/bad –

 

Hello- this was 500 BC, WAAY after Buddha, David/Solomon,

 

Nebuchadnezar, Darius’s homecoming to Jerusalem,  AND

 

only 2 centuries after Greece COULD write; they were illiterate

 

until 730 BC.  The “following” of Pythagorus, his school, were

 

PoliticalUtopianReligious  and had a “supernatural” element.  Souls

 

could Transmigrate (human/animal) and rarely one may remember

 

a pastLife ; plus, Judgment-in-the-Underworld(reward/punishment)

 

and Reincarnation.  The aim of his education was to have a

 

harmonious soul (Apollo)…music helped (Dionysus).

 

479 BC Greece was defeated by Persia =(Rig Veda, Buddha,

 

Zoroaster, Hindu, RAMstories, MITHRA).  In 460 BC DEMOCRITUS

 

wrote about “Potamaugis”, which are FirstRites of Dionysus : wine,

 

cannabeizin, myrrh  - which originated with Kurgans for their “special

 

guests”.  Transylvania was bordering KurganLand – where Vlad the

 

Impaler (1500 AD) fenced his domain with human skulls on poles.  The

 

town-square had a fountain for citizen-use.  A gold chalice was placed

 

for all to use…a nice touch, who had ever been in such a trusting

 

town?  Vlad was no fool, he  was making money on the deal.  He was

 

JudgeDredd if any stole the cup (a secret guard watched all), good

 

defense-posture and for millenia the Kurgans bought bones.  They were

 

FINicky about  clean/ unclean bones, but ox-ass-pig-human made no

 

difference to them.

 

“A guest for dinner” only had one meaning to a Kurgan.

   Our HolyBook mentions a man going  to BANQUET to eat one

 

piece, in turn provided nine courses.  “Lure the man with a bone”,

 

(Hurrian-7950 BC).  Damascus and Dan had the Kurgan-gene

 

by  500 BC, as did Assyria and even Greece(Helle).  Warfare was

 

savage and Greece was talking Utopia.  Alexander was in the right

 

spot at the right time.  No wonder he was so entranced by ROXANA

 

 the BactriaBarbarian(Balkh=Afghanistan) that Greek Generals had

 

these women as wives too.  They convinced Alexander  that

 

OldTribalChiefs would keep his NewLands under control.

 

A new concept in warfare and win/win if one just surrendered.

 

When were the Greeks coming to stabilize your lands?  This surely

 

was “HE  WHO SAVES”=(Greek: Gesus) that  the HolyBooks talked

 

about.  In 1000 BC the Phoenicians(Lebanon) used W as a tooth

 

icon in their alphabet and the name for W is SIN. The Greeks turned

 

 

the 16th Century when J finally was made a letter.  All the J’s in the

 

Bible are from after Xavier’s missionary work in India and Japan

 

after the deaths of Copernicus and Luther (1550). 

 

Greek “xanthos” means yellow and the capital of Thrace was Xanthus.

delicious products: milk-blood-meat-bone. Zebulon(YakCowCity)

 

was the son of Jacob =(Abram’s grandson) and Leah, what a 

 

coincidence.  Because the angel lamed  Jacob by hitting him on the

 

hip, Israelites did not eat meat that covered the hip.  Alexander’s

 

dad crushed his hip falling off a horse.  Kurgans loved eating hip-

 

bones (broken iliac) and long shin-bones too(‘sin).  I like long legs,

 

history covered them.  Sanskrit:skirt=sin.  LEITMOTIF  is

his head with stories we all like to hear ; he says he can cook and

 

butcher. We’ll see, maybe we’ll need him next week for a

 

banquet…haaaa.  RAM’s status depended on keeping his horse

they lived longer than dark-birth attempts.  HATHOR MilkGoddess

(yak-grease,hair-horns).  The Yuruks came from DeathLand ,

 

pre-RAM , herders/tents/ meat-cheese-diet and the first TrueTurks

 

of the Tarus Mountains, whose kids straightened out because of

 

neighbors.  West of them were the  poppyfields  for their Kurgan-neighbor

 

DinnerSleepys.  The  victim never complained after sucking the sauce off

 

the cracked hors d’ oevre=(outside of work).  These poppyfields yielded

 

the BerZerkers.  The Persian cannabis yielded the Buddha and Holi.

 

How many of you know about BerZerkers?  Without good press,

 

force gets forgotten.  Historical politics showed that hating neighbor-areas

 

kept the citizens from fighting amongst  themselves.  How peaceful island

 

nations could be if everyone had a  .22 and ammo.  They have century-long

 

grudges and unarmed-pops, Rwanda is a good example of this concept.

 

When all are armed, bullies don’t intimidate, then BogusBigotGovernments

 

have NO ArmedHeirarchy (DeathSquad) who eventually want NukeWeapons.

 

The BerZerkers were the mongrels of the Old World, nobody wanted

 

them in their “pure” culture stories.  Bringing cobras to KurganLand to

 

fight herpestes-pets like the mongoose was normal sport.  Having a

 

dinner-guest with XXX - rated FemaleEntertainment was

 

                              PartyNightEcstasy.

   How did MARA get such a BadRep?  The BlackSea used to be

 

called Bosporus and before that was Mamara, with lots of tall trees

 

during RAM’s visit…greed and goats left it a rocky wasteland

 

in Kurgan-day.  Their ancestors were ignorant and sold trees to

 

Kittim(Cyprus) and Egypt for GOLD, which quickly got converted

 

to India-products and wool garments from crossroad lands.  Syria’s

 

superior BreedingSkills  brought the MERINOsheep and ultra-soft

 

wool to make MountainCoats and fine apparel for Phoenicia.  Look

 

at the RamStatues in Egypt and tell me those aren’t sheared

 

merinos…curly horns. Spain finally exploited a nomad invention,

 

wool underwear.  The Yuruk kids had “Freddy the Slasher” living

 

next door.  They didn’t know if their friend’s vanishing-act wasn’t

 

Kurgan dinner.  CannibalDemons next door was a good reason to

 

get educated and get out.  Skin tones in cross-road land were like

 

Mexico’s today, a real range.  Stories got twisted  in that flux of

 

tongues.  Kurgan and Hurrian were the two limbs of the Tree-

 

Rooted-In-Persia.  With cannabeizin-E-MellowLand and HashOpium

 

W-MachoLand, stories had W-SurvivalHero but E-AllisOne-Love

 

AllasSelf.  Buddha’s Enlightenment involved a quest that took longer

 

than one night – more like 1001 nights, hearing stories in a

 

HurrianTemple.  He had to SEE this “monstrosity” surrounding

 

MaraSea.  Buddha won some bets on his cobra too…an

 

IndianSpitter with a definite EYE on its hood.  It swayed to

 

mesmerize the mongoose, blinded, then struck…deathNOinjury. 

 

             Buddha was homesick for tranquility.

   RAM’s policy was “never leave the horse”  whenever talking to

 

strangers.  This gave an elevation advantage that wasn’t too

 

great in this land of Mamara giants.  His non-verbal approach involved

 

pretending that he was sectioning his own body while pointing at

 

potential trade.  A long motion from chin to navel, then another motion

 

across his chest.  Keeping the horse between customer and self while

 

working wasn’t bad-policy either.  He was armed, nobody was going to

 

make him a pedestrian.  If magicalPEPPER wasn’t available to

 

preserve his “cuts” = payment, he had two maybe three days before it

 

was dogfood.  Egyptian gold was a nice payment for selling extra cuts,

 

so portable and bought anything he desired.  The PIX around his neck

 

was heavy some weeks.  He was looking for kinsmen if they were

 

alive…short-survivors in GiantLand.  Thor must have his VACATIONS

 

back home, rain was almost daily here ; no wonder horses didn’t

 

choose to live here.  Donkeys, but few horses or he would have had a

 

different trade than butcher.  Such wonderful trees, one could live off

 

their products ; ELMAfruit (elma=apple) an ingredient for meatsauce

 

was even loved by the pony, thank you Freya.  Men have NO respect

 

for women but don’t “die in their sleep” like back home.  The women

 

can’t gallop across Odin’s chest racing the wind.  I never see a

 

Shaman explain the neighborhood to the children.  I rarely see men

 

cooking…how do they please the women?

   Now you may be wondering how RAM was in such demand for his

 

butchering skills.  He had the business-sense that if the pouch around

 

his neck was  heavy, maybe some people would want half of the meat

 

plus GOLD.  The food was only going to last for three days, so why try

 

to eat the whole animal  and have nothing left when RAM would pay

 

you almost half of a new live animal.  RAM figured the pepper (from

 

Indian gypsies) preserved, and was an extra charge, for a spiced-meat

 

cut. The cold, glacier water, Mamara Sea prolonged the salability if he

 

cached a beefskin full of cuts.  He was such an artist killing livestock ;

 

when he couldn’t hobble the beast, the pony would help by keeping the

 

plaited rawskin rope tight while RAM made one incision to the beast’s

 

jugular vein=(vein from the head to the heart – “kosher”).  He had a

 

bullskin bag to collect most of the flowing blood…a key ingredient

 

in his barbecue sauce.  Can you imagine how difficult butchering a

 

large animal was in the time-period before copper knives?  The

 

old flintstone-choppers were clumsy but the obsidian-blade made like

 

cutting butter.  Some jobs were like a bull-fight – again, Spain

 

maximized the sport…after the Moors arrived in 800 AD.  In 8000 BC

 

a crushing rock-blow-to-the-head wasn’t always successful – the

 

engorged vein splashed him with the LifeWater often.  When the bag

 

was full, clean blood washed and preserved the ChoiceCuts.

   Nomads carry 30 pounds MAX on their backs, but a horse can

 

carry an extra 100 pounds.  By visiting areas where he felt safe, RAM

 

could expect to sell every extra-cut the pony could carry.  Each piece

 

had a coating of clotted blood and NO fly-maggots infested his stock.

 

A drawstring top on the bag kept the flies out, then pepper wasn’t

 

essential. RAM rarely dealt with any people other than the sociable

 

Hittites, who could make a profit on RAM’s skills too.  The Hittite

 

country was just north of Phoenicia, where MelkarthBeef was superior

 

tasting to that butchered at home (1000 BC) and this PROVED the

 

powers of Melkarth.  All saw the livestock brought from homelands

 

transform to “Foods of the Gods”.  RAM never pretended to be perfect,

 

he just made sure that he didn’t repeat mistakes.  A close-call when

 

passing the Pillars-of-Odin kept him ever alert that his pony and life

 

were entwined.  Six “locals” tried to corner the untied horse while RAM

 

was bargaining for a meal in a small village north of Mamara Sea.  If

 

he had tethered his “better-half”, walk-man.  The pony dashed to RAM

 

and both left, never to return.  He back-tracked and traveled the land

 

between seas (Black-Caspian) to the RiversLands (Mesopotamia)

 

then went –NW- to the Tarus mountainrange area to buy his

 

Phoenician-merino-longcoat.  People sometimes cheered when

 

they saw him approaching.  BigMak BC.

   You get the idea how the horse gets into the story in all of RAM’s

 

adventures.  In Greek, Philip=horse , 400 BC Philip I was King of

 

Macedonia, father of (382-336 BC) Philip II, “The Head”, father of

 

Alexander (son of “Mounds” Olympus, with the tight birth-canal).

 

It was no surprise that the baby would have a head too large for

 

vaginal birth.  The “horse-spirit” smoke would allow painless

 

c-section surgical removal (obsidian knives again) of the next

 

king ; those Yuruks had some useful ideas, wasn’t the knowledge

 

for surgery from that area too?  Alexander was proof that Anatolia was

 

the best Greek colony.  The culture of Macedonia was “Yuppie

 

HeavyMetal” maybe Caligula-in-kilt would be closer.  Alexander was

 

a child when his dad fell off his horse  and crushed his hipsocket

 

lifelong pain, cane, hobble.  After the cane, he wasn’t able

 

(Cain killed Ab-El).  This made his parents less patient and

 

Alexander was push-driven.  Notice the Persia conquer (333 BC)

 

came 3 years after the King’s death…good timing.  Greek records

 

have RAM’s pony as Philip II, an honest mistake.  Did I mention that

 

VERGINA was the address?  Olympus became a virgin-mother of the

 

Conqueror of the World, a dishonest mistake.  Many have lost their

 

lives arguing whether this was literal or lies.  Sorry about that, but

 

how else could Dionysus-Semele-Zeus connection be made? 

 

Some people get so serious ; when they are stupid they are

 

dangerous - educate the barbarians.  GEB name for horse is

Equus caballus  (Baal/cabal)  and now you know how special

RAM’s pony was to Asia Minor.

   The Kabbalah(CABALA) was the occult version of the HebrewTorah,

a secret society.  KABUL is the capital of Bactria (Roxana’s barbarianhome).

The gossip on their attraction said that Roxy was “twisted oryx” =(her logo was

the oryx’s long-pointed-horn).  I don’t know if they were referring to her nails or

appetite for intercourse, she did have Epona-Odin genes.  Alexander’s last five

years with her were exciting – she was killed soon after his death AND they lived

happily everafter.  Five RoxyYears to immortality, I’m still telling her tales.  For

her tribe, Roxy was Rambo-Medicine-Priestess guarding against Bulgar-Hun

and Hindi-Buddhist.  If one didn’t get your body, the other would get you in the

afterlife.  The physical EponaTricks should have been enough BUT when the

curved OryxHorn was smoked, Roxy dominated…Dominitrix.  To a fellow with a

strong-willed mother this was S/M Valhöll.  The “catch”  was that she had a

physical/mental interface with her partners and could read their insecurities

and strengths.  As Alexander was AlphaMale, he was her equal for strength

inner-strength.  She had so many “tricks”  that she was alluring after the baby

was born and Alexander never felt like he was other than #1, with a GoodGuard

at his back.  The generals had their own cabal with so much free-time, now that

the local warlords kept their HomePower.  Idle hands and all that…if the generals

each had their own TributeLand, as they did eventually,  Alexander would have

enjoyed Roxy longer and the generals would have had the organization

headaches of a conquered StrangeLand.

   Before King Midas of Phrygia =(Hittite),  about 700 BC, an

Oracle announced that the next person in a cart to enter town

would be the next Monarch – and along came GORDIUS, the

farmer,  a simple man who held the axle of his ox-cart to cross-piece

with a single length of hemp rope.  He had this looped and wound

around the axle so many times that he challenged any man to untie the

knot to replace him as king.  TheKnot was bigger than a basketball and

looked impossible…his travels and rain had tightened the knot.  The

Oracle didn’t want Gordius to get all the credit for this challenge so

she announced that whoever untied the knot would be “King of Asia”. 

Nobody was successful until Alexander came to the area to fight

Persia.  Some stories say that he used his sword to sever the

GordianKnot but now we know it was a labrus that cleaved the

untouchable knot.  A story about Excalibur stuck in the rock came

from 300 miles north.  The story got Kurgan-twisted…a bone-fire was

hot enough to make Odin’s rock flow and the slag was sharpened for

a blade.  The Oracle was correct and the story was wide-spread as

Alexander was Conqueror of Near-Asia.  Our parable means how one

can solve a difficult problem in a direct but unexpected way

   After Gordius, who ruled his country like a farm, and WAY before

Alexander, was King Midas with the “golden touch” alliance with

Phoenicia and Egypt.  Midas commissioned a gold life-size statue

of his most beloved daughter.  The statue was very realistic so the

Ephesus tourists were told a story about the golden-touch curse of

their king and what happened to his chaste daughter.  Egypt was an

endless goldmine with a silver-colored impurity of gold called electrum,

but silver was scarcer than gold.  After Midas died, the statue was

used as a SilverProfitMaker in a new religion called “Rites of Diana”

=(Bud.;dyâna=process). The gold statue was kept in a dark cavern

with little holes in the ceiling to the outside.  Hidden clergy would chant

“Secret Knowledge” as the new initiate walked to the Diana icon…it

was gorgeous in the flickering light.  Her logos were Chastity (next to

Kurgan territory),  Hunting(Epona is remembered always), and was

Moon goddess so tribute was best as silver.  This was before Alexander

so Diana =(Inanna) symbolized the     Goddess-of-Many-Names

for the surrounding lands.  Read her story to see how she used a

shapeshift to guard her chastity ; a bloody tale involving dogs and a

stag.  This is the same land that claims to have the burial place of the

Virgin Mary too…Constantinople was near.  The HUNT was symbolic

because the Hittite “Homeland of Hunt” was turned into farms (Egypt

needed barley for their beer) and only noblemen ate fish and meat.

Commoners were vegetarians getting spices from India to  make/sell

Bazaar-foods for the growing cities. At Yaz ili kaya (Banu ili mi?) a

sanctuary had 66 Gods and Goddesses and engravings of the stories.

Local coins (fox/lion) were in use before Alexander saw this shrine.

   I’ve mentioned the Hyksos of 16th dynasty, you are probably

thinking that Hittite sounds like Hyksos ; but they came from

Mesopotamia which is south of Hittite farms.  Both areas had bustling

cities of 1000 mixed-breeds paying tribute to Mesopotamia, who took

the money and invested in defense until anxious captains formed an

alliance to bargain with the Meso-money-holders.   MesoAstronomy-

math that proved the cycles of HeavenlyHarmony was based on 60

=(soss) and thus the Hyksos  name end.  The WarTech before these

Soldiers-of-Fortune was chariots with solid-wood wheels joined to an

axle that turned.  The young love speed and clumsy wood wheels

were a lot of weight for two horses or mules.  The gypsies sometimes

carved eight slots in wheels for show and were as strong as solid

wheels.  The YoungBlood adapted the flashy GypsyWheel to SPOKED

chariot wheels with an obsidian blade lashed to a spoke so infantry

couldn’t rush from the side.  This was the earliest Cuisanart®, you

couldn’t tell the blades were in the spokes until it was too late.  The

Egyptians had good spies and improved with a longer chariot

axle/yoke length.  Some battles were a draw, both sides were so

evenly matched…4X4 vs. dirtbikes.  Finally the Hyksos talked win/win

with the Egyptian Priesthood and in the next dynasty pushed the

tribute-from-all-weaker-lands angle.  The revenue kept troops paid,

equipped, and ready at all times.  Mesopotamia was rid of her

HotHeads and kept their fingers crossed they didn’t covet the

MesoOldLands.

   The lesson we learned from all this moving across continents was

that for our entire past nobody needed more space than a double-

garage today.  The HurrianPersiaPeriod was Valholl with 400 square

feet as a nice tent size.  Hittite mud-brick dwellings were half that

size. The Hitttites had art flowing both ways across their land.  Their

intense fires enabled limestone-melting for decorative terrazzo floors

that are still impressive.  This made confined-space-living more

enjoyable for the whole family and personal pride in one’s taste and

wealth.  Status was a luxury in farm country but essential for city living,

next to the barbarians.  A necklace could transform a beautiful woman 

into a lady.  If the piece told a story on the “charms”, the mnemonic

could make one appear brilliant – a built-in status following you like

the KA, your LuckyAura.  The priesthood made money on the ego

fulfillment, tell them what they want to hear, that is popular.  If they

covet neighorland, make it Adonai-promised (or He will save you a

place in Valholl).  Do it sneaky and absolute, no witnesses.  Quite a

nasty-vicious-line, only the desperate need apply…guaranteeing

WACKOrules.  In TorahLand the distance between house and latrine

(village-boundary) was too far (Sabbath-rules) so only “sneaks” could

poop or neighbors reported you as disobeying Adonai-law.  Get stoned

for a nature-call? Crazy laws we inherited as Gospel ; “nobody’s got the

original order but content is always preserved”…yeah right.  NOT.

Even 50 people in communal living generate neighborhood-patterns.

When the fellow has nothing to lose, his conscience takes a vacation.

Better get him some status to lose, then he’ll want more responsibilities.

   Offering ESOTERICA =(secret-cult-material) that had two or three

interpretations was the challenge for a successful story.  This kept the

faithful buzzing with newINFO.  When you knew three views and could

make them a new story,  you could search for your own followers as a

prophet.  If prophets agreed with each other, we’d be a united planet.

Prophets each think THEY are the ChosenOne.  When other-view

INFIDELS lived nearby, religious-sects killed them.  The leaders

WANTED their side to “fight-dirty”, use the women if possible.  Judith,

widow of Manasseh, had a curious tale where barbarians never were

seduced to even touch her Ü this is still GOSPEL in this country…see

how easy yokels were in Palestina?  How seductive the Buddha or

KRISHNA stories must have been, where people were not allowed to

kill a rat or its SpiritualProgress may be stunted and yours with it. 

India has lost more to plague than war.  We still see that modern

populations fall for the same old reasons, ignoring poverty and bigotry.

It is the Big O try (Blemjar).  Can you see how the religion played

OverallPower in 500 BC?  Country government might be no more than

a tax-collector and his guards visiting you a couple times each year.

Children were used as indenture “tax-credit” their new master used

against your taxes.  Earthquake and Wind afflict the HittiteLands, crops

could fail but taxes were due at collection.  The volcanic-ash farms

were worth the risk, in desert-areas they never had “too much to eat”

when taxes were taken away.

   Let me explain the S-19 page…responsibility.

If HOMELESS people get status as a community member 

some may WANT self-responsibility.  The BigView is 200-300

People housed in converted cargo-containers that are storm-proof

and strong enough to transport by train, truck, crane.  Arrange them so

the spaces between are filled with soil and covered by TopSoil.

Opposite the entrance-end have a tool-shed on the topside garden

area, so tool-sheds are all that are visible and the whole community is

encircled by landscaped SoilBerms higher than the roadside view.  The

tool-sheds have a plexi-mirror to periscope the outside view down to

the end-wall-mirror through the ventilator-opening, a cozy “room with a

view”…with electricity and sewer for each and insulated foam-laminate

interior walls in white.  The entrance can be converted to the

community-purpose : war-zones get steel doors while peace-areas use

sliding glass.  Equipped like a camper with minimum furniture, this

could be so inexpensive that ten could be used for the cost of a

cottage.  Two more units could be used for laundry and cafeteria ;

homeless integrate better when they eat together.  Some camps could

be for our “mental cases”, get them off the streets.  Other uses may be

criminal-boot-camps or isolation units with books and come out when

you pass the GED.  India has successfully treated their “mentals”

compassionately in a home-community motel setting.  How would YOU

like to be treated if you were cursed with SCHIZO  (skit-zo)?

                                     URal steppes?
