Toward Peace: Respondeding and Changeding

Host 233 Toward Peace Respondeding and Changeding

Rosenstock held that the next social order would be small, enthusiastic groups. (Universal History 1954)

He held other things too, which I’ll list and discuss.

BiNow peace is the explicit reconciliation of opposites.

We will achieve that by doing the process of revolution, one to another. Imperative, Subjective, Narrative, Objective, Planetary Service. (See Chapter 5 of Gardner’s ‘Beyond belief’).

And we’ll turn liabilities into assets, the mark of the Christian Era. As we continue, more and more sequences will be added, not necessarily explicitly Christian.

For example, Berman held in ‘Law and Revolution’ that the administrative law state was the chief liability now, perhaps the biggest threat to the Western legal tradition.

How can we turn that liability into an asset? By using the 5-step sequence of revolution on it, ‘oneanothering’ with other liabilities?

What other liabilities? We’ll find 11—that’s still in progress, but we have a GREAT example in Berman’s thought.

Rosenstock also said that we were losing the ability to speak in America.  By that he meant true speech, whereby one puts one’s life behind his words. These would be oaths and vows.

Thus, each small, enthusiastic group (tribes without perpetual warfare) would be oath-formed.

And, using a non-ERH saying, each would be productively profitable, ,not necessarily in marks or pounds or dollars, but in a currency, perhaps to be found or founded.

Thus we will produce (reproduce) man, in a new type, in each ofsppeg—oath-formed, small, profitably productive, enthusiastic group. Rosenstock held that the first 1000 years after He Who Reversed The Trend was about the Church, Israel without exclusion.  The second 1000 years, he held, was about the nation-state, empires without slavery. And now comes small, enthusiastic groups.

James Joran in ‘Through New Eyes’ holds that God is doing something new, but that we are not to play God, so please consider this ‘Toward Peace’ to be a prayer. Jordan held to 700 years, and Church, then Christian State, then University.  These are in counterpoint, both melodies at once, in the Symphony of History. (ERH mentions symphony of history in ‘Fruit of Lips,’ and elsewhere mentions that his musical talents have been put into history).

How do we get to this true speech?  We go in reverse as ERH did in ‘Out of Revolution’ with the revolutions of the west. Institution (failing), then persons (with lenses), then speech. Again, see Chapter 5 of Gardner’s ‘Beyond Belief0.

And we are reproducing man, in a new type. A best example of that is the proletariat of the Russian revolution, but the French genius entrepreneur, the English gentleman, the German lay Christian might all be types. My memory and re-reading of ‘Out of Revolution’ would be needed. The key ‘new man’ would be ‘symphony of history conductor’. For ‘Opus 53: Conduct!’ I play all the parts, Toscanini. (It’s—an early version—on Google Sites).

There are 12 Days—Creation’s 6, 7 of Fall and Cross, 8 of Resurrection, 9 of Ascension, 10 of Pentecost, 11 of A. D. 70, and 12—The Great Day, Final Judgment.

12 books of the Bible.

12 Liabilities to be turned into assets. ERH: Any new technology increases the space over which we can act, decreases the time it takes, and destroys old groups.

12 Persons with Lenses.

12 Speech/Imperative stems, that will be the basis of the new small enthusiastic groups (ofsppeg). ERH in ‘Magna Carts Latina’ said that every Latin verb form is based on a small, imperative stem. ‘Ite’!

(Remember, more layers will be added, so the I Ching, Buddha’s 4 Noble Truths and 8-fold Path, etc. will be added.)  The scientific method follows the 5-step: Newton’s apple tells him to explain, he subjective doesn’t know yet but believes he can find out, he checks the Narrative (writing of others) and add his hypothesis to It, this hypothesis is objectively tested to become a theory that is in planetary service.  There are other 5s, and even other numbers.

CONCLUSION: I will add a couple more things at the end, BUT IN SUMMARY, WE GONE THROUGH MANY THREADS OF Rosenstock-Huessy art work, and there’s more to come.

Love in King Jesus,

Charles Howard Hartman, Pella, Iowa, March 25, Anno Domini 2019, I am ‘going’, responding to ‘Ite!’. I must/will respond, though I will/must be changed. Respondeo etsi mutabor.

PS #1: I believe herovolution. GodTrinity lovingly drags us into His future, changing us.  And as we are torn in the present between past and future, our howls become music, and we the singing song. The h.e.r.o is the one between times, the first sufferer, the protagonist, helping.explicity..reconcile.opposites.

PS #2:

If you

ever in your life had a bright idea, or a new instinct, or a

new change of heart,

Sir, make this the cornerstone of your understanding

of the universe and you

will understand that the universe begins with creation. And

it ends in incarnation, because that's the experience of every potent and creative

man in the world.

But you look outside and try to deduce by your little brain,

not by your experience of your heart how the world begins, and how it should be

run. You'll never

solve it, gentlemen. You'll remain a selfish, inarticulate

animal. If the spirit moves

you, you will see how simple

things are, gentlemen. Love begins, and hope

keeps you going, and faith. And in the end, your grandchildren

will bless you.
