Psychology, Medicine, Confession, Advolution to Glory

 Good question, Jon--Why say 'no' to psychology and 'yes' to medicine?

I would ask, what are the batting averages of each?

PS: Private confession of sin, and bringing to bear that GodTrinity is advolving (changing toward) all things to glory is a key.

More Confucius

 More.

Paul vs. Socrates. 'Who will save me from the body of this death?' vs. The more you know, the more moral you are.

Somewhere the '500 words' of every language should come in. Osgod and Osgood, shown in Heinlein's 'Gulf'.

Kardashev. (wikipedia) Stage 1 civilization, all the energy of a planet. 2, solar system. 3, galaxy.

These are all 42s. the song of each book to be answered by the song of history toward Beatific Harmony.

Re: Confucius. Also eat the ideographs. Can they portmanteau: narradigm=a paradigm narrative.

Also, 'God's Promises to the Chinese' shows early ideographs as in Genesis 1?

When will Confucius be eaten--a proposal

 When will Confucius be eaten?--A proposal

The propsal will come at the end.

Some background.

1--JBJ has said that while Israel was in exile, God raised up Greek Philosophy, Buddhism, and Confucius.

2--This is for us (the Church) to take care of later.

3--When will this be? When will the good parts of Confucianism be incorporated (eaten into the corpus, the Body)?

4--This prssupposes that God, theodically, has the whole of history as an opra before him.

5--We are to sing/act 9'opera-te) this after Him.

6--Oddly to many, I propose that the A of this chiastic work, is the first letter-words of the Bible.

7--Thus B house R head SH eat T cross.

8--And Acts 2:42, fellowship, Apostles' Doctrine, breaking of bread, prayer.

9--For fellowehip/hous, I propose to start with Nisbet's forms of society.

10--For head/doctrine we have the creeds and confessions so far.

11--For eat/breaking of bread we have General Purpose Technology (wikipedia) which is somewhat Marxist, but we know that Luther proposed that all flags have a loaf of bread on them.

12--For cross/prayer we have such things as Matthew 25:31-46 and all the prayers of the Bible.

13--I also propose that the firs 4 notes, a la Beethoven's 5th, are 2671.

14--So we need to place these in 120,000 years. (JBJ said that it's at least 3,000 generations of blessing, for Hebrew did NOT use the word for 'two'.

15---This would give us the 'score' of the 'opera'. (IIRC 'opera' is the plural of 'opus' in Italian (?).

16--Thus, we begin. We sing books, for God wrote books, etc.

17--Preliminary proposal. Rosenstock wrote of Jesus, Confucius (I substitue Lao-tse), Buddha, and Abraham.  Thus days of the week (dia) could be, alternatively and at the same time as 8531642 churches, and Sunday-Saturday: AlreadyDia (Sunday), Jesus All Times Dia (Monday), Lao-tseDia, AbrahamDia, BuddaDia (Thursday), add GreekTheaterDia and then NotYetDia (Saturday). This follows Rosenstock's Forward/Imperative, In/Sibjective, Back/Narrative, Out/objective

Unzing SF

 6 imaginatives--we need Unz

(Unz has digitalized 150 years of American journals of opinion, and found something he did not expect. He calls it 'American Pravda'. Evidently many who supported FDR's domestic policies, but who did not support his WWll

'American Pravda'. Evidently many who supported FDR's domestic policies, but who did not support his WWll policies were blacked out, and did not appear in those journals).

I propose that we/someone digitalize all SF to find some key imaginative concepts. The church then should deal with them. Here are some examples. I'm sure there are more and better ones.

 

Cordwainer Smith: '...real money in the computer.' Also, someone called the equivalent of 911 to request assistance for a mentally disturbed (?) person. The answerer said '  you know what do do...' [Theory, this is about Christians helping.

A Poul Anderson story about saving a planet from a nova has 'organized crime' (gethfennu) as the only world-wide

organization able to act. He also has a story which floats the concept of (primitive?) nations as trade routes.

Henlein has corporate states (non-territorial) obliterating Acapulco. And Jack Vance portrays a society in which different musical instruments are used to address different (classes) of society.

 

Let's Unz' SF! (Johnson, in 'History of the American People' says that Mencken wrote that the American practice of turning nouns into verbs was a key. Some though it uncivilized. And how do ideographic languages show new words?

Calvinism and Coca-Cola (was Lady Ordination)

 Calvinism and Coca Cola (Was 'Lady Ordination).

This is another in the series started by Rich Bledsoe. The general theme is 'liturgy is causative, culture is downstream'. Dr. Bledsoe held that errors in the matter of sex in the culture were from the church's error regarding Lady Ordination.

Then came economy (and tithing, Randal), songs of whole books and total Bible saturation, and oddities.

Now I point to Paul Johnson's 'History of the American peope, pages 675-8 and following.

He states: 'Coke was probably the best single of the example of the way the American religious spirit was transmuted into a secular force while keeping its religious overtones.'

Starting from classis as sales territories, to rhetoric about a convert to Coke (salesman esp.) being born again, to the 'miracle' of the bottlecap...one could go on and on.

---

Now, to other aspects of the general theme (see above) we go.

1--We need to work backward from societal problems to liturgical and church changes.

2--The last time I was in a Baptist service, they had an altar call wehn we would have communion. Here's a key--they err in bringing the revival tent meeting into the church as a service, but we err when we do not see communion as such a life-altering rededicatory event.

3--Since creation was by speech, we need to look more into cymatics, Search 'electronic cymatics'.

Moral, not educational Paul vs. Socrates

 But who would have thought this about China in Gilder's 'Scandal of Money'? And BRICS will have some gold backing. You don't know who is reading. Projects take 3 generation, Rosenstock who said his wourk would not be enacted until 70 years after his death,

NOT this generation unless you can talk to a Moses while in Pharaoh's court, or a Paul the Persecutor.

Babushkas prayed for 70 years, and USSR fell.

Charles Howard (Chuck) Hartman

PS: Read 'Superabundance' and ponder Socrates (smarter, ore moral) vs. Paul (Who will save me from this body of death?) It's a moral/vision problem, not an educational one.

Liturgy Oddities

 Change liturgy, change culture.

'Talk only to those who can make a decision': Jay Abraham, great marketer.

 

A corollary to that is to work on those things that make a difference.

 Thus, Rich Bledsoe's comment about Lady Ordination, a church/liturgy error, causing societal sex errors--that liturgy is causative, and culture downstream, is a KEY to making things right.

 

I've mentioned economy, and singing whole books.

 

Today will mention adding oddities as essential to good liturgy.

How so? Because we believe in 'both/and' logic. Jesus Christ is both God and Man, without confusion, mixture, division, or separation. (Chalcedon). We also believe 3R1 ('R' is some new relation that is not '='. We believe The Father incomprehensible, The Holy Breath (Spirit) incomprehensible, The Son incomprehensible, but not 3 incomprehensabilities, but on incomprehensabilities. 3R1.

 

We could replace the Gradual (where the Bible is brought to the front) with some such oddities, past or future. (Someday Confucianism will be eaten into the body of doctrine, incorporated. Also will be Buddhism, also will be ideographs...). 'The Good Old Days, My Ass' would be another source.

 

But the important this is to 'DO!,' as Dr. Leithart admonished us in 'Blessed Are The Hungry'. Teach outside the

service.

PS: One way to do this is to emulate Ron Unz and digitalize all the scientifictional (stefnal) ideas. Unz has done this with US magazines of 150 years, and discovered American Pravda--'liberals' work was blacked out when they opposed WWII. Stefnal ideas such as that in Vance's 'Moonmoth'--all wear masks, different musical instruments  used to address persons of different status are examples.

PPS: Toby Sumpter has done good work with his piece on creeds and civil order. RJR's creeds and councils is very wise.
