UPDATE 1

Most of the classical waterways are filled up and transformed into roads and parkinglots. Cars took over and gradually absorbed the medieval fortress. City-walls with their gates were demolished to make it accessible for cars and trucks.

That's were I live now. Once a vibrant town, city rights dating from 1234, through time and economy transformed into an urban village, with about 15.000 inhabitants.

I am manipulating people, by means of knowledge. Shortly after my arrival I started, 10+ years ago, a blog and filled it with documentaries, notes, small articles and short stories. I called it “the Monkey-path”, the search for the essence of reality and debunking the traditional paths toward knowledge. It drew some attention, still does. “The History of the End of the World”, you can call it. Because that's how if feel it, know and belief. We are manipulated to create this “End” and through aeons of manipulation, deceit and propaganda we start believing that it is necessary for a new start of mankind.

In Islam they say that you, personally, have to remove or breakthrough 70.000 veils to be able to see the Light of Allah. The proposed Apocalyps is one of them. One of many, but now a global phenomenom. Apocalyps means “unveiling”, the curtains rise and a, new, play begins. New background, new players and a new plot.The current view on the End is shared by Jews, Christians and Muslims. It will be announced by the increase of wars and violence, famine, epidemics and natural disasters like volcanic eruptions, flooding, draughts and sink-holes. This is the period of Tribulation, like the Kali-Yuga. Which also a period of ignorance and fading wisdom.

The cumulative engergy of these events will result in the End. A fierce battle near Jerusalem will result in the manifestation of a Divine Reality, A messias, a Christ, which defeats evil, throws the devil and the demons in a bottomless pit. True believers can expect a prosperous and happy life in a new world, freed from menace and evil forces.

Heavy stuff, but part of the doctrine and belief of billions of people.

Let the curtains rise.
