HISTORY
OF THE END OF THE WORLD
RELIGIOUS
WARFARE
“All
that see me, are attracted to me. All will miss me and mourn, when I
am gone,the Master cited, while stretching his legs and holding his
hands to the fire. It was quite dampy and wet in “the Library”,
situated, on the wish of the Master, in the dungeons of the complex,
who were hardly above sea-level.
“I
think you mean the sun.” Yvanka responded, “who is absent during
the night. Only a vampire hates the sun. “Could be.”, the Master
nodded. “But there are more intderpretations possible, that is the
golden rule. A second interpretation focus' on the use of the word
ME.
The
statement could as well be a hymn to a God or Goddess, to illustrate
the faculties and a feared disappearance.”
Yvanka
and Roamy grabbed their notebooks. Being the only two present, it was
essential to write down what he was saying, even though it was being
recorded.
Both
would take notes independently. The Master would use them to remember
sessions like this. It was a technique called “Overshadowing”,
when he made contact to the “Archaic Records” and other
libraries. It resembled the Casey-technique of selfhypnosis. For the
Master “overshadowing” was an educational tool. In a sort of
trance, he, and other SiTU Masters, described distant worlds, strange
artefacts, ancient Codexes, filosofies and religious dogma.
Starting
with latter. Since the age of Jesus Christ religious wars were
fought. The Jews fought the inhabitants of Galilea, Christian
Constantinople fought Islamic “hordes”. The fight went on till
the 15e century, when the city finally fell. The Templars fought a
crusade against the Cathars, amongst other crusades in the East. The
kingdom of Jerusalem fell and islam became the dominant factor. Jews
and christians had to pay a special tax.
In
that same periode the King and Queen of Spain, Roman-Catholic to the
core, liberated the last Morish enclaves and deported the Spanish
muslims to Marocco. The discovery of the America's let to genocide,
with blessings of the church. Along comes the Reformation and the
wars and slaughter between protestant and catholic citizens or
countries and even coalitions. The second WW was a clash of ideology
and religion. Jews, gypsies and homo-sexuals were non-humans and
treated and extermined att will and on an industrial scale. Extremely
important were the railways, they used for transport to the
deathcamps.
It
is 62 years ago, when it ended. But was not the “final war”, the
war to make warfare impossible and not of this world.
It
did not work.
Korea,
Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Syria. Here the religious factor
is essential. All against IS, islam. Christianity, Islam and Judaism,
competing against eachother and fight and die for their
religious
belief.
Nothing
new under the sun.
