Theatre of Spiritual Warfare is Closer than you Think!
(final draft)
[Note: In this post I have focused on the traditional understanding of
MYSTERIES' BEGINNINGS commencing 22-26 December from the perspective
of the MYSTERIES CENTRES on 21-25 April -- I have included these
details in this amended post to demonstrate by reversion to the
beginnings, that this appears to be the convention for reading the DAO
TE CHING]
My newsgroup comment on 24 April 2008 touched on some extra-ordinarily
complex issues within the framework of a diary entry which was
purposefully deployed according to the Natural and Common Law
Principle of Autonomic Right associated to the conception of Divine
Providence as the Course of Nature or the Animating Principle within
the World which is determined by the 'oth {
sign, signal; a distingui****ng mark; banner; remembrance; miraculous
sign; omen; warning; token, ensign, standard, miracle, proof
} chronological principle was understood in the 6th century BCE when
Buddhism also had its conception.
The Dead Sea Scroll fragment '4Q390 as Prophetic Apocryphon or
4QPseudo-Moses' speaks of Jewish population repatriations from
Babylonian exile and a province in present day Assyria in association
with Jubilee chronology ('in the seventh Jubilee' as 343 years)
transpiring with both Zerubbabel's rebuilding of the 2nd Jerusalem
Temple ('those who will be the first to go up from the land of
captivity in order to build the temple') under an initial decree from
King Darius I in circa 520 BCE.

That China's hosting of the Olympic Games in 2008 has become the
fanatical op****tunism for lawlessness by disenfranchised groups such
as Falun Gong and the Free Tibet Movement who are both caught in the
spiraling declension of unenlightened religious mysticism and are in
need of re-education.
On 24 April 2008 there was a memorial service held for the 645 sons of
our nation who in 1941 gave their lives on the HMAS Sydney on the
pretense of a German naval ****p under disguise and flying a Dutch
flag.
There was also a Olympic Torch Relay meandering through our Nation's
Capital and on its way to China's hosting of the Olympic Games
commencing 8 August 2008--that the torch relay was instigated as a
product of German Fascism which honed ritual into an extraordinary
public spectacle.
By the concept of time, the German Philosopher Hegel (1770-1831 CE)
understands it as nothing other than the traditional perspective
developed by Aristotle--which is something altogether different from
Heidegger's (1889-1976 CE) contem****ary understanding and our Kantian
(1724=961804 CE) syllogistic proof of Infinity itself being both the
actual LOGOS and its interchangeability with the CHRONOS:
22/7 as 3W1D ... {Formula of Progression of individual phenomena}
the major premise {YANG/FATHER/HEAVEN/MALE/FORM - Formula of Universal
Law}, which contains the law of that will: 7 x 24 x 13 =3D 2184 days of

sun and moon' as 354 x 3 + 30 day intercalation =3D 1092 days x 2 =3D 2184
days
the minor premise {YIN/MOTHER/EARTH/FEMALE/MATTER - Formula of
Humanity}, which contains the command to behave in accordance with the
law, that is, the principle of subsumption under the law: x 49 =3D 6J or
294 x 364 days or 365.2425 x 293 years - Vernal Equinox Wednesday 20
March 1996 / 21 March =3D 1 Nisan 5756; and
the conclusion {ZHUN/SON/SEA/ENUMERATE/OFFSPRING - Formula of
Autonomy}, which contains the verdict (sentence), that is laid down as
right in the case at hand: ... 6,000 topical years as Telos
('achariyth as 122J3W1D) =3D Arch (re'****yth as 3W1D) + c=B2 [9(9=B2+1)/2]

September =3D 1 Tishri 5762.
Hegel says that, if appearance is what is primarily accessible to us,
then our true object must be supersensible. Once the phenomenal
character of the objectivity of conciousness is posited, precisely
then the knowability of the things themselves, of the supersensible
world, is fundamentally proven--The supersensible is therefore
appearance, as appearance.
At issue is the matter of Tibetans inability to behave in accordance
with the law, that is the principle of subsumption under the law--the
very heterogeneous essence of ethnic diversity which is China.
The difficulty which the Tibetan protestors present to the Australian
Psych is a very complex one--on face value one would assume that if
Australia is spending 86 million dollars for World Youth Day on
recognition of the Papal City State in Rome, that Tibetans have every
right to demand recognition of their country as equally a religious
state independent from China.
However the China's Han Dynasty produced a mathematical
tetragrammation view of the world known which has as its natural and
common law conception of the autonomic right a TERNARY {ie.
TRINITARIAN) notion of Number associated to the Hexagrams as its
autonomic transformative prototype.
Whereas the Greek conception of number and to which planetary
associations were made and from whence the western world derives the
names of its days of the week, applies to the male / female Ennead as
autonomic transformative prototype--Zeus and Hera (marriage) were the
principle deities of this ancient world-kosmos view and to whom the
Olympic Games were celebrated.
In a departure from my normal approach, I instead focused on an
articulation of the Religious Mysteries which provided a psycho-social
fabric that is shared in common by both Australian and Chinese
culture--And that I have done so, against the backdrop of the elements
provided by the Grapple Homoiotic Noumenon as Autonomic Ennead so that
an Australian social consciousness might emerge as a cultural
identity.
In the historical case of Egyptian religious/political culture, we
know that the Hieroglyphs are dependent on the Chinese tetragrams and
their associations to the Hexagrams of the I-Ching (Book of Changes).
It can be seen that the Egyptian myths deploy the various NOUS
Conceptual zones as Categories of Understanding, but that the origin
of the language itself as hieroglyphs as INFINITY--SYMBOL--INFINITY
finds its first principles as conceptual hierarchy in some primary
conception: CHET & NUN.
That Moses articulation of the Mysteries: Telos ('achariyth) =3D Arch
(re'****yth) + c=B2 [9(9=B2+1)/2] may be viewed as intrinsically connected
to this mathematical and chronological perspective of the mysteries:
=93We have found him {ie. the Holy One and the Just, the Prince of Life
[Acts 3:14-15; John 3:12-15]} of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the
prophets: Jesus {He is saved/A savior; a deliverer}, the son of Joseph
{increase; addition}, who is from Nazareth {ie. Sovereignty; one
chosen or set apart; separated; crowned; sanctified}.=94 [John 1:45]
A clue to this is found in the meaning of the Hieroglyphic: 'NH (ANKH)
for life which is derived from a 3-consonant glyph representing a
'SIEVE' as CHET (#8) and 'WAVES' as NUN (#50).
That this CHET and NUN (KHEN) letter combinations has an implied
base-7 SABBATH chronological imperative associated to the letter NUN
#2400 MOD 22 =3D 14 [#NUN / #50]
In that the letter NUN might also be considered in SABBATH
chronological terms as 50 x 49 x 364 days / 365.2425 days as 2441.6654
topical years and about 1558 BCE as occurring within the 2nd
Intermediate Period as Dynasties 14-17.
Thus when Moses begins his book of Genesis with re'****yth, he does so
as a thesis making substantiation of the teleological equation: Telos
('achariyth) =3D Arch (re'****yth) + c=B2 [9(9=B2+1)/2]
We can then see this articulation of the Mysteries as being an
exegesis articulation of the HERMENEUTICAL meaning to the letters CHET
(#8) and NUN (#50) and the resultant CATEGORY OF UNDERSTANDING: #58 --

An initial example of this is that the Egyptian KHENT meaning 'in the
front, in the fore part, before, aforetime, formerly, the beginning'
or KHENTI (to advance, to promote) appears to present similar notions.
Another example is KHENSU or KHONSU the moon god as the traveller,
'Kensu of the two names' and the god of the 8th hour of the day as

[Note: I have observed that the Australian leg of the Olympic Torch
relay in its arrival adhered to this ancient Natural and Common Law
Principles of Autonomic Right]
During 11 day celebrations commencing 19 July--which by the time of
Ramesses III (1194-1163 BCE) in the 20th Dynasty continued for 27
days--the Theban triad, Amun (the anthropomorphic New Kingdom king of
gods), Mut (the vulture headed goddess) and their son, Khonsu (the
lunar god), made a ritual journey from their temples (such as the
Chapelle Rouge) at Kar**** to the Luxor Temple. The basic idea of
celebrating the reigning King's divine conception and birth had
developed into an increasingly complex series of rituals and
ceremonies, culminating from Amenhotep's III (1391-1353 BCE) time, in
a mystical union between King and God, from which the King emerged as
a transfigured and divinised being--this was the cult of the Royal KA,
to which end the temple at Luxor was particularly directed. [Blyth
2006:105]
Caesar's association to the Egyptian Mysteries and the resurrection of
the dismembered Amun-Osiris occurs through the intermediatory of the
goddess Opet, whose temple was rebuilt by Ptolemy VIII (170-163 BCE)
and extensively decorated by Augustus. In this highly symbolic place,
the god Amun died in the form Osiris, entered the body of the
universal mother goddess Opet and was reborn on the rising sun as Amun-
Re-Horakhte. In the Late Period, this temple is known to have
functioned in unison with the immediately adjacent Khonsu temple.
Within this mysterious temple which was doubtlessly of great
significance, a series of crypts were constructed and in which is
depicted an account of the death and resurrection of Amun-Osiris.
[Kar****: Evolution of a Temple, Elizabeth Blyth 2006:229]
Throughout Egypt's history, the first ruler of a new dynasty had
frequently sought to claim legitimacy to the throne and to recommend
himself to his subjects by embracing the local gods and their cults
and by instituting a program of temple building. [Blyth 2006:230]
Doubtlessly Augustus had a special connection to the Theban triad of
gods, on account that he too was a son of a god {ie. A dictator as
malevolent benefactor} and the =93revered one=94 (Augustus) who's will
(numen) or essence (genius) as the eternal-AIDIOS power-DUNAMIS {ie.
male personification of miraculous power} and Godhead-THEIOTES [Romans
1:19-23] was the central unequivocal tenet of Roman State Religion of
the time. At Kar****, however the sacred precinct was so full of
shrines, hall and sanctuaries that Augustus confined his work to the
extensive decoration that saw the completion of the temples of Opet
and Khonsu. The only independent structure erected at Kar**** by the
Romans was a small temple with an opening to the north and fronted by
a ****tico of corinthian columns. It was situated in front of the First
Pylon, just to the south of the main entrance gateway.
This was a temple dedicated to the Imperial Roman cult as a history
contem****aneous to the autonomic transformative prototype as HETEROS
symbolic perspective of number. Fourteen pedestals for statues of
emperors stood against the inside walls. The statues themselves are
missing, but the few legible dedications that remain on the pedestal
bases convey the names of Augustus (30-14 CE), Tiberius (14-37 CE),
Claudius (41-54 CE) and Titus (79-81 CE) son of Vespasian (69-79 CE)
can still be deciphered. Other than this, there is little to be seen
at Kar****. Tiberius undertook some restoration work in the court of
the Middle Kingdom, some decoration within the Ptolemic XII (80-58
BCE) chapel to the Ptah temple, and there is also a stella in his name
recording the apparent rebuilding of the Mut temple enclosure wall.
That in this instance the articulation of the Mysteries by the Book of
Changes (I-Ching), the DAO (the way/role) TE (of virtue) CHING (and
Changes) and T'AI (the canon) HSUAN (of supreme mystery) CHING (and
changes), within Yang Hsiung's schema, has its beginnings (ie. Its
centre with its beginning from the December solstice) within the
MYSTERIES CENTRES on 21-25 April with respect to the Mystery's
accomplishments through courses 1-9 thus representing the Divine Plan
for the annual dispersal as the waxing and waning of Yin and Yang.

Their attainment of emptiness absolute and their maintenance of
quietude guileless, the myriad things interact.
With emptiness and quietude, one observes their eternal return.
Everything that exists arises from quietude. Thus, although the myriad
of things interact together, they all ultimately return to emptiness
and quietude, which is the state of absolute guileness.
#75 - Failure
The reason the common folk starve is that the ruler eats too much
grain tax.
The reason for the common folk indulging in deviant behaviour and the
reasons for government ending in chaos always stem from the ruler and
never stem from the subjects, The common folk model themselves on
their ruler.
#45 - Extremes and Reversals/ Greatest Virtue
Great completion seems incomplete, but its functioning is never
exhausted. Great fullness seems empty, buts its functioning is
limitless. Great straightness seems crooked. Great skill seems
clumsy. Great eloquence seems inarticulate.
Although the heat of activity conquers cold, quietude conquers heat,
so pure quietude is the right way to govern all under Heaven--If one
practices quietude, this will fully realize the authenticity of the
people, but if one engages in activity, this will violate the nature
of the people. Thus it is only through pure quietude that one can
achieve all the forms of greatness mentioned above.
#28 - Change
He who knows the male yet sustains the female will be a river valley
for all under Heaven. He who is a river valley for all under Heaven
never separates himself from constant virtue and always reverts to the
infant.
The male belongs to that category of being that is in front; the
female belongs to that category of being that is in the rear. One who
knows that he is foremost among all under Heaven must put himself in
the rear. As such, the sage places himself in the rear yet finds
himself in front.
The river valley does not solicit anything, yet things come to it as a
matter of course. The infant does not use any knowledge of its own,
yet it communes with the knowledge of nature.
He who knows the white yet sustains the black will be a model for all
under Heaven. He who is a model for all under Heaven never deviates
from constant virtue. Always reverts to the infinite.
He who knows glory yet sustains disgrace will be a valley for all
under Heaven. He who is a valley for all under Heaven is filled
completely by constant virtue, for he always reverts to the uncarved
block--These three state that it is only with constant reversion by
the action of the DAO to such ends [of the infant, the infinite and
the uncarved block of authenticity] that virtue completely fills him
in whom it resides.

And I illustrated this by focusing specifically on the Superficial
plane comprising the 9 stratum which made up the Nous Conceptual Zone
associated to MYSTERIES' BEGINNINGS on 22-26 December and as a means
of resolving the current Chinese/Tibet dilemma, dispersing this with
historical entries associated to 520 BCE and 457 BCE (shown below as
the heads):

50 - Fantasies of Avoiding Death/ Estimation of Life
"When people place too much emphasis on life, it turns into the land
of death for them. One good at preserving life does not use life for
the sake of living, and this is why he stays free from the land of
death.
There are no instruments more harmful than weapons of war. Yet if one
can ensure that weapons have no way to use point or edge against him,
such a one truly does not let his person be hampered by desire, so how
could any land of death exist for him?
If people neither allow craving to separate them from their roots nor
let desire compromise their authenticity, even if they enter the army,
they will suffer no harm, and, when traveling on land, they will be
invulnerable. That one must emulate the infant and hold it in the
highest esteem is perfectly true!
#77 - Compliance
"Only if one makes his virtue conform to that of Heaven and Earth
could he embrace the people as the DAO of Heaven embraces them. If
one tried to embrace them with just an individual capacity for virtue,
because such a one would have a stake in his own individual existence,
he would be unable to establish equity among the people.
Who can establish universal equity among the people? It is only one
who has the DAO. Thus it is that the sage does not want to exhibit
his worthiness, for keeping it hidden he establishes equity among all
under Heaven.
#15 - Mastering Guiding Discourse/ Revealers of Virtue
In antiquity, he who was good at being a leader was perfectly in step
with mystery in all its subtlety and profundity; so recondite was he
that it was impossible to understand him. Now because he defies
understanding, all I can do is force a description of what he was
like...
When obscure, it is through principles [li -- may be a reference to
the autonomic transformative prototype which advances through 13 steps
and is inclusive of Australia Day on 26 January and Sorry Day on 13
February] that things achieve distinctness; when turbid, it is by
stilling that things achieve clarity; and, when quiet, it is by
stirring that things come alive. This is the DAO of NATURE. The 'Who
can' indicates how very difficult this is, and 'gradually' suggests
meticulousness and caution.
#1 - Centre
The DAO {ie. the GRAPPLE HOMOIOTIC NOUMENON as AUTONOMIC ENNEAD} that
can be rendered in language and the name that can be given it point to
a thing/matter or reproduce a form, neither of which is it in its
constancy. This is why it can neither be rendered in language nor
given a name.

#31 - Military Strategies as Guides/ Quelling War (no commentary by
Wang Bi)
Weapons are instruments of ill-omen. The people always hate them, so
one who has the DAO has nothing to do with them.
Weapons are instruments of ill-omen; they are not instruments of the
noble man, who uses them only when there is no choice. It is best to
be utterly dispassionate about them, and, even it they bring victory,
one should not praise them. Nevertheless to praise them means that
one delights in slaughtering people, and one who delights in
slaughtering people, of course, can never achieve the goal of ruling
all under Heaven.
A deputy general takes his place on the left, but a general-in-chief
takes his place on the right, when mourning rites are observed.
When m***** of people are slaughtered, one should weep for them with
utmost sadness, so, when victorious in war, one should observe it with
mourning rites.
#51 - Constancy
Once things achieve life, they are nurtured. Once nurtured, they
acquire physical form. Once they have physical form, they achieve
completion. What is the origin from which life comes?
It is the DAO.
What is the source from which they are nurtured?
It is virtue.
What is the cause [YIN] of their physical form?
It is matter [ie. in this instance Formula of Humanity, which contains
the command to behave in accordance with the law, that is, the
principle of subsumption under the law]
What is the agency that brings about completion?
It is characteristic potential.
It is this cause [YIN] alone that makes it possible for each and every
thing to have physical form. It is this characteristic potential
alone that makes it possible for each and every thing to achieve
completion. From the way all things achieve life to the way the
potentiality of things reaches completion, all these processes have an
origin.
Because there has to be an origin for them, this origin without
exception is the DAO. Thus, if we trace these processes back to their
ultimate origin, we arrive inevitably at the DAO. It is when we
follow them back to their individual causes [YIN] that we find
separate terms for these causes.
#39 - Achieving Oneness/ Root of Order
As for those who obtained One long, long ago {in the beginning). One
is the beginning of numbers as well as the ultimate number of things.
Each thing, as such, is produced by the One [Unity], and this is why
it is the master of them all. All things achieve completeness by
obtaining this One, and, once complete, they exist as complete
entities by separating themselves from the One. Once they exist as
complete entities, they lose the mother, and this is why all things
deteriorate, disintegrate, dry up, expire or collapse.
#76 - Aggravation
If one inflicts violence on all under Heaven through the use of stiff
[ie. Strong] military power, he will be despised by the people. Thus

#71 - Know-How as a Disease/ Disease of Knowledge
If one does not recognise that knowledge is not worth relying on, it
will result in harm. To regard harm as harm means that one recognises
how it is harm.
#6 - Contrariety
The valley spirit is the nothingness in the centre of the valley. It
has neither form nor appearance and is utterly free of contrariness or
disobedience. Lying low and unmoving, it maintains its quiescence and
never weakens. Even though all things are completed by it, we do not
see its form, for this is the most perfect thing.
Lying low and maintaining quiescence, it cannot be grasped in order to
give the DAO a name, so the text refers to it as the Mysterious
Female--The root of Heaven and Earth, on and on, with only apparent
existence, functions inexhaustibly.
#61 - Virtuosity at Using 'Beneath'/ Virtue of Humility
A large State is a catchment into which flow occurs. It is where all
under Heaven unite. It is the female for all under Heaven. (If a
large state dwells in greatness and takes up a low position, all under
Heaven will flow into it).
The female always conquers the male because of quietude.
#78 - On the Verge
Of all under Heaven, nothing is more soft and pliable than water, yet
for attacking the hard and stiff, nothing can beat it, so it is
impossible to take its place.
According to what the sage says, he who sustains disgrace on behalf of
the state is referred to as the master of altars dedicated to the soil
and grain its rightful ruler, and he who sustains misfortune on behalf
of the state is referred to as a sovereign for all under Heaven.
These are true words that seem false.
Thus we were able to take Wang Bi's (226-249 CE) commentary to the DAO
TE CHING and make it immediately pertinent as timely and ageless
wisdom--noting of course that the inner dynamic of which appears
associated to the Category of Understanding obtained from a summation
of the 9 stratum for Nous Conceptual Zone #63 associated to 22-26
December=97As reversion to the Mysteries=92 Beginnings--that it is only
with constant reversion by the action of the DAO to such ends [of the
infant, the infinite and the uncarved block of authenticity] that
virtue completely fills him in whom it reside:

#63 - Origins in Reversal/ Consider Beginnings;
To handle matters without conscious effort, practice the teaching that
is not expressed in words, and have a taste for the utterly
dispassionate is the ultimate of government.
Minor resentment is not worth responding to, but great resentment
involves something for which all under Heaven desire punishment. It
is virtuous to comply with that upon which all under Heaven agree.
#62 - Doubt
The DAO takes precedence over absolutely everything, and nothing could
be more valuable than this. Whether it be jewels or treasures, disks
of jade or horses. nothing can match it.
If one were to express it in fine words, it could accordingly, command
the highest price on the market. Thus the text says: Fine words can
be used to market it. If one were to practice it in noble behavior,
those even more than a thousand LI away would respond to it. Thus the
text says: Noble behavior can be used to influence others by it.
Thus I come back to the original thought as the title of the post,
"Theatre of Spiritual Warfare is Closer than you Think!"
The Book of Changes no doubt originated as a manual of
prognostication. Even today it remains a living force in Chinese
civilization. As an intellectual in the People's Republic puts it,
"Each loosening of political control in China has resulted in a debate
involving both Con****ius and the Book of Changes."
Their concern as men of their time was the ultimate issue in
understanding change: how does all this infinite diversity of natural
mutation in Nature, society, and the human psyche arise from the Way,
which rests in Mystery and does not change at all? What obscure paths
do the Tao's "spiritual forces" (shen) travel to keep the cycles
turning? The Han experts were reexamining the symbolic notation of the
'I-Ching' to find regularities. They were not merely trying to narrow
down the objective significance, even what they believed to be the
objective moral significance, of the symbols. Their goal was a
universal nexus of association and correlation, extending the meanings
of traditional symbols to create an infinitely rich language they
could use to relate everything that people observe, think, feel,
contemplate, and imagine. What they valued in this vocabulary was
scope, not rigorous definition. They did not see themselves as
widening the ambit of the Changes, but as coming to grips with the
universality that the Sages had given it. Their demonstration that
endless wisdom was stored in the symbols of the Changes confirmed its
status in the canon whose transmission was sponsored by, and in turn
lent legitimacy to, the dynastic house of Han. [Michael Nylan, Nathan
Sivin, 1987 Essay on Canon of Supreme Mystery]
That once I've articulated the Spiritual Themes as the mechanisms by
which the DAO's "spiritual forces" (shen) travel each day and which I
have on 20 April 2008 augmented with 10,931 Common English Dictionary
Words as linguistic and secular overlay to the GRAPPLE NOUMENON
tem****al and superficial categories of understanding.
That in doing so, I have attempted to describe from the Way, how this
infinite diversity of natural mutation in Nature, society, and the
human psyche arise.
As this paradigm of mind (State of Consciousness) is integrated with
neural linguistic and memetic paradigm associated to media--it is
therefore possible for Television and Newspaper journalists to
reproduce their stories according to its common themes.
The result, is a paranormal or supernatural effect which intrinsically
connects otherwise disparate, noncontiguous, unrelated complex events
and herds problems into a framework which provides an essential unity
and clearing house--And to facilitate a social consciousness from
which emerges a cultural identity.
Without it Television and Newspaper media are simply engaging in
propaganda--These are true words that seem false.
Thus it may be terrifying to know the truth, that the real theatre of
war for the hearts and minds of every human being in the 21st century,
is not in Iraq, Afghanistan, Gallipoli or Villers--Bretonneux but on
your television screens and newspapers.
By the looks of recent re****ting--someone has by stealth acquired a
veritable monopoly.
