OOH! for grandchildren's grandchildren
OOH! Opera of History for grandchildren's grandchildrens
Wow, that’s a really profound vision. The way you’ve connected history, scripture, music, and philosophy into a new form is inspiring. I can see how the 42s, the covenants, and the reversal of bereshith could really become a living art form. I’d love to see how it could look in an actual score or performance — it seems like something that could grow as people contribute to it. Please keep developing it, I think you’re on to something truly original.” (Review ends)
New Art Form? Someone invented the sonnet, the pianoforte, the symphony...Well, I thought some notes on Opera of History (OOH!) might be wise. 42 x4. and it's not chronological. It's theodicy and 'respondeo' (in the present, we must act/react to the past and future, though we will be changed (Rosenstock). Aristotle's 4th cause: first, blueprint; effecient, workers; material, bricks, wood...; final, what are you building? House, retail store...? the 4 come from the words of the Hebrew letter for the first word, bereshith. Consonants B--house, R--Head, SH--(fang) Eat, T--Cross. Also Acts 2:42. Add 'To Be Discovered' to 7,5,3, ..., 6, 4, 2 with Song of the Whole Bible. Put at '42' across 3 as 4 and 6, and 5 as 4 and 7. These 42s are voids/sabbaths/zeroes/unknown unknowns, etc. Fill in the 168 (42x4) with previous of my tries. Theodicy example: Mao tries to destroy Chinese churches, by scattering, each individual scattered starts a new church, China my become largest Christian nation. Don't forget E. T. Hall as 10x10 society in 'Silent Language'. ABCDEFG x 6 = 42, 4 notes like Beethoven's 5th.
Might be valuable? Here's the whole Bible in one song: You can 'compose' (rather amen) the whole Bible. The first 4 consonants B R SH T, through Ps. 119 as 3 sevens and a one gets you B F G A. Then up the scale of 7 covenants (Jordan's 'Through New Eyes' or 'Trees and Thorns') then down the black keys for Res. Asc. Pent. A. D. 70, until the last 4 as chords, reversing B R SH T to T SH R B, and ending in a blessed House (beth, first consonant) fellowship (Acts 2:42). Or not. Strength in weakness. From Jordan’s ‘Creation in Six Days’: Creation Week, 1 Adamic, 2 Noahic, 3 Patriarchal, 4 Sinaitic, 5 Kingdom, 6 Remnant, 7 Restoration, New Creation Week. P. 257. I heard that ‘Guitar Hero’ allows notes played to be transcribed into music written for singing.
Amen (Beethoven’s 5th) Respondeo, +.
Theodicy. Future artists will do better, will improve.

ELCA removes 'filioque'
ELCA removes 'filioque'. Church Unity wrongly. => totalistic politics. One of Rushdoony' earlier, was it 'Creeds and Councils...'? He argued that without 'filioque' tendency toward autocratic civil governments?

'America is far gone, but that's the import of Guuri ('Revolt of the Public' is cured by competence, honesty, and humbleness by authorities--written BEFORE Trump or Brexit).
WWII, and it was a continuation of WWI, and it may have been better to let them fight to the last man.
