~ Confrontatie & Zingeving in de Wieg der Mensheid!?! ~
~ During the wars of Greeks and Persians:
Semites, Aryans,
Europeans ... ~
~!~
WHILE
the Greeks
in the cities in Greece,
south Italy and Asia Minor
were embarking upon
FREE intellectual INQUIRY
and while in Babylon and Jerusalem
the last of the Hebrew prophets
were creating
a FREE CONSCIENCE
for mankind,
two adventurous Aryan peoples,
the Medes and the Persians,
were in possession of the civilisation
of the ancient world
and were making a great empire,
the Persian Empire,
which was far larger in extent than any empire
the world had seen
until then ...
UNDER CYRUS,
Babylon and the rich and ancient civilisation of Lydia
had been added to the Persian rule;
the Phoenician cities of the Levant and all
Greek cities in Asia Minor
had been made
tributary,
Cambyses had subjected Egypt,
and Darius I, the Mede,
the third of the Persian rulers
{521 B.C.},
found himself monarch as it seemed
of the whole
world!
His couriers
rode with his decrees
from the Dardanelles to the Indus
and from upper Egypt to
central
Asia ...
~!~
The
Greeks in Europe,
Italy, Carthage, Sicily, and the Spanish Phoenician settlements,
it is true,
were not under the Persian Peace:
but they treated it with respect
and the only people who gave any serious trouble
were the old parent hordes of Nordic people in South Russia and
central Asia,
the Scythians who raided the northern and
north-eastern
borders ...
~!~
Of course
the population
of this great Persian Empire
was not a population of Persians?
The Persians
were only the small conquering minority
of this enormous realm.
The rest of the population
was what it had been before the Persians came from time immemorial,
only that Persian was the administrative language ...
Trade and finance were still largely Semitic,
Tyre and Sidon as of old
were the great Mediterranean ports
and Semitic shipping plied
upon the seas!
But many of these Semitic merchants and businesspeople
as they went from place to place
already found a sympathetic and conveniet common history in
the Hebrew tradition and
the Hebrew scriptures?
A NEW ELEMENT
which was increasing rapidly in this empire
was the Greek element!
The Greeks
were becoming serious rivals to the Semites upon the sea,
and their detached and vigorous intelligence
made them useful and unprejudiced
officials ........
~!~
IT WAS on account of the Scythians
that Darius I invaded Europe!
HE wanted to reach South Russia,
the homeland of the Scythian horsemen.
He crossed the Bosporus with a great army and marched thru Bulgaria to the Danube,
crossed this by a bridge of boats and pushed far northward ...
His army suffered terribly!
IT was largely an infantry force and the mounted Scythians rode all round it, cut off its supplies,
destroyed any stragglers and never came to a pitched battle!
Darius was forced into an inglorious retreat ...
~!~
HE returned himself to Susa/Sjusjan,
but he left an army in Thrace and Macedonia,
and Macedonia submitted to Darius.
Insurrectians of the Greek cities in Asia followed his failure,
and the European Greeks were drawn into this contest.
Darius resolved upon the subjugation of the Greeks in Europe.
With the Phoenician fleet at his disposal he was able to subdue one island after another, and finally in 490 B.C. he made his main attack
upon Athens .............
A considerable Armada
sailed from the ports of Asia Minor and the eastern Mediterranean,
and the expedition landed its troops at Marathon
to the north of Athens:
THERE they were met and signally defeated
by the Athenians ...
~!~
You don't have to
run a marathon to know the word?
And you don't have to know the source
to be able to use
the word?
~!~
But still
in such ways
our languages and minds and actions
are formed continually:
in each of our individual brains
there is a basic structure
made up out of the first and following
evolutionary experiences
that were fixed upon our "DNA" to give
direction to our
'struggle
for life'?
~!~
IF we are
not aware of this
we will be unconscious
'followers of
fashion',
blind victims of
fate
and inner pressures,
deaf mass-products that are
forced
to live out our lives by
coincidental human/animal instinct and
circumstantial
situations ...
~!~
ONCE we become aware
of these kinds
of processes and
decide to free ourselves of these
'forced freedoms'
we can start to
become really FREE in ways that were already
'discovered' by
our friends of old:
the prophets, philosophers, saviours and other
'examplary' jokers -
Yeshayahu, Yirmeyahu, Gautama, Lao Tse
and Yeshu ...
~!~
Righteousness, compassion,
independence, vision & love are not just meant to stay
'beautiful words', dogmatic 'considerations' or
'useless' bullshit in a senseless
and cruel 'illusionary'
universe
without purpose, origin or
direction?
~!~
For now
bye
from your crazy old
Ch@i!
Rain was
followed by
wind and sunshine in blue sky with white clouds ...
And after the muhaha-capsule & anti-biotics I have to eat & drink in order
to stay alive &
healthy as can be under these circumstances ........
