153Culture: Rosenstock's 'Objective' for New Era
Background: Rosenstock-Huessy, Universal History 1954. He says the challenge of our Neo-Tribal era is to glorify the tribal social order by keeping the small, enthusiastic groups, and by getting rid of the perpetual warfare. (Israel was glorified in the Church after He Who Reversed The Trend by getting rid of exclusiveness, and the Empire social order was glorified, he said, by getting rid of slavery)
Also, Clint Gardner's summary of the Revolutions of the West in 'Beyond Belief'. Each revolution has an Imperative, a Subjective, a Narrative, and an Objective that is taken out for Planetary Service. Rhyming other covenant sequences, we get: Me, I, We, They. Law, Lyric, Evaluation, Fact, New Torah (Instruction). Etc.
My proposals are: The Symphony of (Comprehensive) History (Interactive) [TSOH]for Imperative. Pella Square/How To Make Your Communities Better for Subjective. Calendar Of Peace Priming/House Of Singing Times [HOST] for Narrative. 153Culture for Objectve, toward something similar to Planetary Service.
153Culture has 49 new 'tribes'/social orders, may be nations, universities, etc. one for each book of the Jordan literarily-organized Bible. 49 from systematic theology like unto the Heidelberg Catechism (52 Lord's Days, some combined, some added?). 49 from Maturationally Given, organizations/social orders to mature us. And TheBigSix--to make 153 we need 6 more than 49x3=147.
So far I'm thinking the Sexual Thing, given that Japan's young are not having sex, per a recent report, and the whole LGBT thing, with sex robots to be, etc. A second is Wealth, how to handle the best time in history to make money (and new types of money, Bitcoin, Hour, Digital from metal, accounting entries, printed paper...). A third is Longevity (Kurzweil, Cryonics...) Isaiah 65:20. A fourth might be discipling something such as The Red Sox Nation.
Blundering along.
Love in King Jesus,
Chuck

Use Imperative Stem Rightly: Reform Music in Liturgy
Use Imperative Stems Rightly
1--Somewhere in Magna Carta Latina
This resounds. WHAT OTHER IMPERATIVE STEMS ARE THERE, AND WHAT IS BUILT UP FROM THEM?
This short paper proposes that music is one, that Revelation, written in Symbol, the Language, is another. So too is liturgy, worship, and life (as seen in holidays celebrating the whole life of one now dead unto life, this one thing observed by the whole people, together at the same time). The Lord’s Day (the worship hour—it takes about an hour to read Revelation out loud) is the stem of the week. The week is a stem. Etc.
2—He also says that when men first cried out to God, they chanted. This is best seen today in the Roman Mass and Jewish Synagogue.
3—Let us build the musical part of Lord’s Day liturgy to encompass all times and places of music, so that we may be commanded unto one man in all times and places, using imperative stems rightly.
We will build it from beginning to end, and from end to beginning. Thus--
We enter, we come in to the end, a great and magnificent symphony orchestra, including rhythmic movement dance, and including each playing an instrument—with even contemporary technology this can be shown, if not representatively done. This is the stem of time beyond the End.
Respond with chant.
The remainder of the liturgy until--
Just before we leave, after being commissioned and blessed, we reverse the above, and ‘a great and magnificent symphony orchestra, including rhythmic movement, and including each playing an instrument—with even contemporary technology this can be shown, if not representatively done.’ This is the time beyond the End.
Respond with chant.
Q:What’s in the center?
A:From beginning to end,
from end to beginning,
the various songs of the Bible
and of the post-Bible times, our response.
Songs of the Bible are imperative stems,
from which other songs come,
and to which we return,
as we see in the above chant positions.
With the song sung by the morning stars (Job 38:7, and look up the Hebrew for ‘shouted’) in the background, the first half—before He WhoReversed The Trend, Jesus-- might look like this:
Example:Song of Red Sea responded to with
Example:Psalms (and wouldn’t Psalm 150 be nike (sic, conquering) were we to use the instruments
Listed?)
Example: Tune of The Twelve* responded to with
Example:Retuning of the Universe at Ascension**
[There is not enough time in the Worship Hour/Lord’s Day, so
we might consider extending this over a number of (5?, 7?) weeks?]
In the second half, the singing after the Bible is complete, we would add a succession of songs (see Six Songs, the book?) showing the development that has happened, and that will happen, something that might look like this:
Example: Something such as the great orchestrated event thus described as ‘a great and magnificent symphony orchestra, including rhythmic movement, and including each playing an instrument—with even contemporary technology this can be shown, if not representatively done.’
Example: Responded to with chant. ‘O Come O Come Emmanuel’ is plainsong. More could be done.
Example: Something with the pianoforte, invented circa1700.
Example: Something with strumming a smartphone, invented circa 2000.
These two pages above are an imperative stem, to which the flowering of the rest of language*** should return, in order to comprehend (grasp with?) all. In other words, better musicians and liturgists can play/incubate this to the full, Lord willing.
‘The prophet is one who is taken beyond the end, in order to come back to say that words that bring that end about.’: Rosenstock, somewhere in Dartmouth lectures.
‘Audience absorbs, does not act. Artist acts’.: Summary of Rapoport appropriate to this kairos.
*Tune of The Twelve. Put the 12 Minor Prophets in their chronological order over the 12 keys of an octave (if I understand it), 7 white and 5 black, on a piano of today. Then stroke them in their theological order, as in the Bible of today. Make rests and lengths of notes dependent on such things as length of the respective books, time between books being uttered, etc. Maybe 4 chords, each with 3 notes.
**Jordan maintains that as the Ascension is shown in Revelation 5:12 to Revelation 7:12, the universe is retuned. From 1234567 to 4152(3)63(2)7. [Hartman maintains there’s another retuning: http://chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.blogspot.com/2012/06/retuned-7x7-pergamoscoram861-calendar.html] IN ADDITION, there is movement from saying to singing, to instruments, and there’s a change to ‘the’ in front of each attribute of the seven of Christ (or could it be ‘from’? I don’t remember).
***I haven’t finished this, but The Shadow and Night is an explicitly post-millennial science fiction work by Chris Walley, part of the Lame Among the Stars series, written under the inspiration of ‘The Puritan Hope’.

Herovolution
I believe Herovolution. God lovingly drags us into His future, changing us.
As we are chosen to be torn in the present between the future and the past, between in and out, our howl becomes music, and we the singing song.
(Faintly: Rests—absences—are as important as notes—presences.)
A hero is the man between times, the First Sufferer, the Protagonist. He Explicitly Reconciles Opposites.

The Situation: A Solution
THE SITUATION: There will be disruptions. And the church
seems monetarily weak. Debts/defaults, job losses, increased poverty, moral
crises…and to do things costs.
[This could be stated MUCH more
radically]
Disruptions where? 1—From increased technology. It increases
the space over which one can operate, decreases the time it takes to do
something, and destroys old groups.*
And 2—From changes in governing. [This could also be stated MUCH more
radically]
But this is the best time in history to make money.
A SOLUTION: Everyone needs another source
of income, preferably internet-based. (Gary
‘2 hours a day’ North) He’s written 40+ books in 2 hours a day since 1973.
--
I’ll help.**
What seem to be some of the best options?
1—You Talk. I Write. Your Book. (If businessmen with money
are approached in the right way by showing them how to use a book (electronic)
to gain new customers, and what the
lifetime value of a new customer is, namely, the number of years a
customer/client stays with a business, times the amount of business done, times
the profit margin. [5 years x $1000 per
year @ 10% margin equals $500, for example].
Use talk to text or
Naturally Speaking. The 5 Most Dangerous Threats to Your _____ Busimess in the
Year Ahead.
2—Grow Food Not Lawns (Covault Gardening). Customer has
lawn, customer pays gardener, gardener tills (if necessary), plants, weeds (or
uses straw or hay, etc.), and customer harvests, eats, enjoys. Many additional services can be offered.
Examples: Year One, do gardens and write
a book as you go. Year Two, sell book and do consulting, and expand services.
Year Three, do a membership site. @ $5 a month x 500 people this would provide
good income.
3—Community Supported Artist. This is good, but almost
impossible.
4—There may be some way to become a teacher in various niche
curricula, such as the Ron Paul Curriculum.
In that one (RPC) the teachers get half the course fee, and teach only
by video lecture.
6--If 50% of the food is wasted, there’s something of value
to be done. http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2013/jan/10/half-world-food-waste
7--There are many other opportunities. Here’s a client of mine who has published
ebooks. He’ll help in that area for a fee. One of his books:http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-reason-season-ebook/dp/B00AKXVB6E
He consults on ebook writing and publishing.
Dan Spencer: dds344@hotmail.com :: Half-hour phone consultation, $25
When you have another source of income,
you are more stable
during disruptions, economic and
political.
--
What does my help cost? 5% of gross profit, plus 5% of stock.
10% of gross until stock.
PLUS
the same to the church. I do this latter for two reasons.
1—It’s good business, every one will help everyone else. 2—It’s temporary. We
don’t want to be like the Roman Catholics who for a temporary purpose, church
discipline *Rosenstock-Huessy says, forbade priests to marry, and wrongly said
this was the way it always was and always had to be OR the Wesleyans, who did
something similar with drinking and Sunday activities.
You don’t have to retain me.

What I’d do if I were
unemployed, and am doing before I need to do it.
The story is that
Henry Ford was asked during the Great Depression what HE would do if HE were
unemployed. Here’s what he is reported
to have said:
If I
were unemployed, I'd do something like this. Go down the street asking at
houses if there were anything they wanted done, free. Do one thing, go to the
next house. Keep going. After a while, people might hear of me and ask if I
could help them. I'd have a longer and longer list of chores, and eventually
someone would offer to pay me something to get to the top of the list, maybe?
Were I good at selling, or helping businesses, etc., I'd do the same for
businesses. Moral: Do something, get noticed. There's lots to be done.
--
Call to action: Tell
me a little about what business you might want to do, and OK the monetary
arrangements, so we can talk. After we talk, you can OK them again and we can
get started—the monetary arrangements aren’t final until we both agree after
we’ve talked.
A little about what
business you might want to do: (Please also write on the back of this sheet,
if needed). Start with 25 words, your ‘elevator pitch’.
OK: _____
Name ____________________________________________________
PS: Per the 80/20
rule, 16 possible entrepreneurs could mean 3 or so businesses.
I’ll be doing this
too (my calling): http://chuckhartmanhistoryconductor.blogspot.com/2013/03/revolutions-of-west-gardner-summarizes.html
