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.
ERH
