Sub-paragraphs:
27. Our triumph has
been rendered easier by the fact that in our relations with the men,
whom we wanted, we have always worked upon the most sensitive chords of
the human mind, upon the cash account, upon the cupidity, upon the
insatiability for material needs of man; and each one of these human
weaknesses, taken alone, is sufficient to paralyze initiative, for it
hands over the will of men to the disposition of him who has bought
their activities.
28. The
abstraction of freedom has enabled us to persuade the mob in all
countries that their government is nothing but the steward of the
people who are the owners of the country, and that the steward may be
replaced like a worn-out glove.
29. It is this
possibility of replacing the representatives of the people which has
placed at our disposal, and, as it were, given us the power of
appointment.
The Temptation of St. Anthony
By Mathias Grunewald
Oppression
Ignorance is Strength
Throughout
recorded time, and probably since the
end of the Neolithic Age, there have been three kinds of people in the
world,
the High, the Middle, and the Low. They have
been
subdivided in many ways, they have borne countless different names, and
their relative
numbers, as well as their attitude towards one another, have varied
from age to
age: but the essential structure of society has never altered. Even
after
enormous upheavals and seemingly irrevocable changes, the same pattern
has
always reasserted itself, just as a gyroscope will always return to
equilibrium, however far it is pushed one way or the other.
The aims of these
three groups are
entirely irreconcilable. The
aim of the High is to remain where they are. The aim of the Middle
is to change places with the High. The aim of the Low, when
they have an
aim -- for it is an abiding characteristic of the Low that they are
too much
crushed by drudgery to be more than intermittently conscious of
anything
outside their daily lives -- is to abolish all distinctions and
create a
society in which all men shall be equal. Thus throughout history a
struggle
which is the same in its main outlines recurs over and over again. For
long
periods the High seem to be securely in power, but sooner or later
there always
comes a moment when they lose either their belief in themselves or
their
capacity to govern efficiently, or both. They are then overthrown by
the
Middle, who enlist the Low on their side by pretending to them that
they are
fighting for liberty and justice. As soon as they have reached their
objective,
the Middle thrust the Low back into their old position of servitude,
and
themselves become the High. Presently a new Middle group splits off
from one of
the other groups, or from both of them, and the struggle begins over
again. Of
the three groups, only the Low are never even temporarily successful in
achieving their aims. It would be an exaggeration to say that
throughout
history there has been no progress of a material kind. Even today, in a
period
of decline, the average human being is physically better off than he
was a few
centuries ago. But no advance in wealth, no softening of manners, no
reform or
revolution has ever brought human equality a millimetre nearer. From
the point
of view of the Low, no historic change has ever meant much more than a
change
in the name of their masters.

The
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
A document of continuing controversy as to its origins, be they
fictional or intentional. An interesting read regardless. Time to take
a little break from the elephant and donkey show, pull the curtain back
and entertain the notion of the wizard playing with your mind. While we
can't prove this document wasn't fiction, the concepts it defines are
strangely present in our world today.
Protocol
#2
Sub-paragraph:
2.
The administrators, whom we shall choose from among the public, with
strict regard to their capacities for servile obedience, will not be
persons trained in the arts of government, and will therefore easily
become pawns in our game, in the hands of men of learning and genius
who will be their advisers, specialists bred and reared from early
childhood to rule the affairs of the whole world. As is well known to
you, these specialists of ours have been drawing, to fit
them for rule, the information they need from our political plans
from the lessons of history, from observations made of the events
of every moment as it passes. The GOYIM are not guided by practical
use of unprejudiced historical observation, but by theoretical
routine without any critical regard for consequent results. We need
not, therefore, take any account of them, let them amuse themselves
until the hour strikes, or live on hopes of new forms of
enterprising pastime, or on the memories of all they have enjoyed.
For them let that play the principal part which we have persuaded
them to accept as the dictates of science (theory). It is with this
object in view that we are constantly, by means of our press,
arousing a blind confidence in these theories. The intellectuals of
the GOYIM will puff themselves up with their knowledges, and without
any logical verification of them, will put into effect all the
information available from science, which our AGENTUR specialists
have cunningly pieced together for the purpose of educating their
minds in the direction we want.
Sun
Tzu
said:
In the operations of war, where there are in the
field a thousand swift chariots, as many heavy
chariots, and a hundred thousand mail-clad soldiers, with
provisions enough to carry them a thousand li,
the expenditure at home and at the front,
including entertainment of guests, small items
such as glue and paint, and sums spent on chariots
and armor, will reach the total of a thousand ounces of silver per day.
Such is the cost of raising
an army of 100,000 men.
Poverty of the State exchequer causes an army to be maintained by
contributions from a distance. Contributing to maintain an army at a
distance causes the people to be impoverished.
With this loss of substance and exhaustion of strength, the homes of
the people will be stripped bare, and three-tenths of their income will
be dissipated; while government expenses for broken chariots, worn-out
horses, breast-plates and helmets, bows and arrows, spears and shields,
protective mantles, draught-oxen and heavy wagons, will amount to
four-tenths of its total revenue.

A GOOD soldier is never aggressive; A good fighter is never angry. The best way of conquering an enemy Is to win him over by not antagonising him. The best way of employing a man Is to serve under him. This is called the virtue of non-striving! This is called using the abilities of men! This is called being wedded to Heaven as of old!

These
thoughts are creative thoughts in the life of the soul because human
beings are destined in the future to become what they regard themselves
to be. This is something that had to come about during the course of
wisely guided world evolution so that the human being might really
attain to a full and free consciousness of self. One aspect is that the
gods had to give the human being the possibility of becoming his own
creation. The other aspect is that in order for the human being to be
able to give this self-created being a supersensible purpose, in order
for him to be able to find in what he has made of himself something
that can give him an eternal direction for the future – for this it was
that Christ Jesus entered into the Mystery of Golgotha. If one
understands Christ Jesus through spiritual science, if one understands
him in one’s thoughts, then one can find the way to him: the way from
the animal nature to the divine.
In
my recent lecture on mysticism I spoke of the
particular form of
mystic absorption that appeared in the Middle Ages between the time of
Meister Eckhart and that of Angelus Silesius. This type of mysticism is
distinguished by the fact that the mystic seeks to become free of all
the experiences aroused in his soul by the external world. He seeks to
acquire the feeling that proves to him that, even when everything of
the everyday world is removed from his soul and it withdraws into
itself, a world of its own still remains within it. This world always
exists but is outshone by the experiences that work so powerfully on
man from without. Thus, it generally appears as a light so faint that
most men do not even notice it. The mystic usually calls it “the
spark.” Yet, he feels sure that it can be fanned to a mighty flame that
will illumine the source and foundation of existence leading man along
the path of his soul to the knowledge of his origin. This may, indeed,
be called “knowledge of God.”.... Rudolf Steiner

“This
we know…..the earth does not belong to man, man
belongs to the earth. All things are connected, like blood that
connects one
family. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the children of the earth.
Man did
not weave the web of life-he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does
to the
web, he does to himself.”
