Questions Future Warren

 I posted something about singing on Facebook

GodTrinity is making new kinds of people. In Heaven we'll meet many who only lived a few decades. I've been married longer than my Dad lived.

BUT, here's a key question. Luther asked 'How can a just God save a sinner such as I am?' Many today sak, 'How can an all-powerfu, all-good God send anyone to Hell and the Lake of Fire, to be eternally tortured?'

There are answers, and our descendants will have even more difficult questions to answer.

Love in King Jesus,

Psalm Chant BH Duane

 Suppose that you want to chant well? Some thoughts.

 

1--Teach 'em Hebrew. It's a multi-generational deal. I'm so old I studied Latin in public high school. Sobran has a nice nike quote on that. And high school graduates taught in country schools when Iowa had the highest literacy rate in the hation.

2--If Psalms is an example of Ancient, and Bach is B, then when we know how we got from A to B, we have some hope of getting to C, D, etc. I talked with a guy who will help us get toward C this holiday.

c--If the Psalm tells us to do something, DO IT!--Don't only sing about it. Psalm 150 is a good example. I bought a timbrel (tambourine) and created a dance (recapping creation/tabernacle in 8 steps). You could have one person shake a timbrel, when it says to.

2a--As North and Jordan tell us, the requirement to go to Jerusalem 3x a year, drove (when they complied) Israel to the city. We Israel may be driven to the next stage when we obey.

3--Use JBJ's translations. He used lines, avoiding the problems of lack of space.

4--Try some Hebrew Cadence when you want to know the music of A. Gregory helped with the up-down at the end, which might be Incarnational or Ascensional. Might.

5--is the New Jerusalem (RC) Bible a better translator of Psalm 25? They used English words to make an abecedary, but those weren't the exact words from Hebrew. but they had the form.

 

What do I know? Chuck

SONG (17 long)

 SONG

Song

1—Start with JVJ’s ‘Covenant Sequence in Leviticus and Deuteronomy’ at www.garnorth.com/freebooks. Every covenant has 12 parts, the 12^th is a song.

2—Use the 7 covenants in JBJ’s ‘Creation in Six Days’.

3—Remember Leithart’s ‘From Silence to Song’.

4—Remember JBJ’s ‘Through New Eyes’—God is doing something, we are not to play God.

5—Anciently, there are chiasms and other structures, Hebrew Cadence, abecedaries, specific instruments (Psalm 150), psalmodic parallelism, etc. Hindus remember through song, not written basics. Plato  thought 729 (3 to the 6^th) was disruptive of the song of society. There’s Pythagorean Comma vs. ‘Well-Tem[ered Clavier’, which allows playing without retuning.

6—The too radical ‘Bible in 22 notes’ should play a part. The key is to do what the Bible says: North and Jordan both say that the requirement to go to Jerusalem 3X a year drove Israel out of agriculture and into cities, or even out of Israel as traders/peddling.

7—ERH holds that his 5-step process is in the history of the church.

8—The best summary of ERH’s process in ‘Out of Revolution’ applied to nation-states is in Gardner’s ‘Beyond Belief’ chapter 5. Note: Singing is glorified speech, and there should be some stude=y of ‘the tabernacle of the mouth’. And…Before vowels. Bat and bet(h), Ur, Or, Ir and R. 22 and Osgood and Osgood 150 (Gulf)

9—ERH held in ‘Universal History 1954” (www.erhfund.org for free transcripts and audio of this Dartmouth course) that the next 1000 years would be one of ‘small enthusiastic groups’, which CHH says is tribes without perpetual warpath, as the last 10000 was empires without slavery, and the first 1000 was Israel without restrictions. JBJ holds not to this chiastic view, but to successive emphases on persons of the Trinity. Re: ERH—Greece is a companion, never a social order. ERH: Tribes, Empires, Israel&Greece—chiasm. JBJ—Tribes, Nation, Cosmopolitan—Succcessive.

10—‘The Next Thousand Years A Prayer’ attempts to figure out a new 12 ‘small enthusiastic groups’ by taking ERH’s and JBJ’s respective 4s. Law-Lyric=Evaluation-Fact, JBJ. Imperative-Subjective-Narrative-Objective, ERH. 3-Deacker universes, x4 = 12.

11—It uses JBJ’s 49-book Bible from ‘Rethinking the Order of the Old Testament’ (Biblical Horizons), plus puts the 5 Cs liturgy in the year, encourages each book to be sung, and proposes the Opera of History to get a Beethoven’s 5^th-like response.

12—Thus, going from Ancient to Bach, and knowing how it was done (e. g., a monk made our lines for music @1100) will help get us, Lord willing, to even more glorious SONG @ A. D. 3000, if the Lord tarry. ‘Anything worth doing is worth doing badly’: Chesterton. More.

13-17—Why no actually DO Psalm 150, praise Him according to what He commands? 14—Use the instruments, distribute them among the congregation: types of cymbals, trumpet, timbrel (tambourine) and dance (put your feet/foot on parts of the tabernacle corresponding to days of creation, or covenants? 15—As North and Jordan both write, following the commands to go to Jerusalem 3x a year, changed Israel. 16—We might learn the chiastic structure and Hebrew Cadence, per Bulllinger, or the 144 + 2 bracketing of Jordan 17—At this stage of life/death, I get a couple good actionable ideas a week (I’m just entering my prime), usually during ‘Steiner time’. HBOT was one, membership sites for radio is another, and SONG was too.

4 Leaving Guthrie My Life

 It’s lonely. By choice.

When I left Guthrie Center after my freshman year in high school, and moved to Stuart in 1959, I now realize that I lost 4 things.

#1 was that even though I’d had polio, I might have made it to the majors after years in the minors, as a coach. Instead, I made 3 outs in 10 games, pitched 2 no-hitters, qualified for Midwest 8-ball championships, shot my age ambidestrously (using rules from 2 tournaments I played in), invented a couple of sports and some forgettable games, etc. Sons were academic all-sate.

#2 was we din’t go to UNI. I didn’t become a high school history teacher. I found my love, Louse, 61 years married now, and I created RACK ;EM! (Rosetto [effect] American History Community Health Membership [site]. Look up Rosetto Effect. They had no heart attack as long as they had community. Community is what may be missing, as great technological advances come. Rosenstock: ‘Any new technology destroys old groups. The idea is that once a week someone from the community tells how their specialy happened in 3 time periods. A—Alleged crossing of Bering Land 10,000 years ago, until A. D. 1600. Thus tribes and empires. B—America 1600-2000. C. Until a million settle on Mars—Musk has incentives for that.  Thus, students learn past and future in their present. More—one student a week takes an event 1600-2000. Study the book too,one day summing up, etc. Equitable % to board, employees, community members, students.

#3 is that I could have been a member of the establishment in the Des Moines Register program. Instead I spent decades listening to Rosenstock (www.erhfund.org) and his Dartmouth courses, etc. (now free) and Dr. Jordan (now check Theopolis), andI had time to write ‘The Next Thoudand Years A Prayer, 36 pages, 9 for the reader to fill in. Chesterton: Anything worth doing is worth doing badly’. Well, I also qualified for Jeopardy, led a 3^rd party as state-wide candidate, and helped found another3rd party (to no effect).

#4 is that I could have gone into business by taking shop instead of Latin. But Latin did start me on the road to languages, and a philosophy degree from Iowa, and from that to a Top Secret clearance as an Air Forde officer (a bld one, though I made a great play in a midnight sun softball game). A cousin on one side commanded a nuclear sub, and one on the other side was President of the World Actuary Society (or something, he had to go to Scotland to be invested).

Much more has happened, but now I get a couple of good, actionable ideas a week, and I try to avoid stress, and I try to have informed consent, so I won’t be crippled (though I threw 50# sacks until I was 770, or blinded in one eiy (when he went to the laser, your central vision was gone). I’ve also created Vitamin J for Joy, Personhood Day, Godparents for Eldsters, Twelve Word Platform, etc.

At present I have 17+ projects. I’m just entering my prime.

Music: Ancient, Bach, Coming, d, e, etc.

 Music: Until we know how we got from Ancient to more glorious Bach we can't get to even more glorious Coming, d, e, etc.

In other words, don't 'sing' Psalm 150, do it with timbrels and dance, etc.

For an example, read North and Jordan on how the requirement to go to Jerusalem 3x a year, moved Israel to cities and out.

Why do Hindus still sing 'scriptures'? ('Myth of Invariance') Why did Plato hate 729?

Why, I've read' did a monk @1100 make the lines upon which we write notes?

What is the significance of rhyming--it's deep?!

 

Love in King Jesus,

 

Chuck
