Neynava: a Contemporary Music Accompaniment or the Diachronic Echo of the Orient?

My Studies & Explorations: from J. Leclant & M. Rodinson to the Oromo-Amhara Divide, through Egypt’s 25th Dynasty, Pre-Islamic Yemen (Himyar), and Gregentius of Taphar

What follows is a long response to the messages that an Oromo academic and friend sent me via the messaging section of one portal; as he expressed his admiration for my knowledge and in-depth understanding of numerous critical issues pertaining to many different fields of sciences, I felt obliged to describe extensively the purpose and the circumstances of my postgraduate studies, underscore my differences from the other students, highlight my confrontation with several of my professors during my postgraduate studies in Paris, and in the process raise key problems of academic methodology, present the true dimensions of the Oromo-Amhara divide for the colonial academia of Western Europe and North America, and expand on several key periods of historical upheaval either in Ancient Egypt or in pre-Islamic Yemen.

I removed from my ca. 10000-word answer every part and element that would serve to possibly identify my friend, because this would endanger his career and life.

By its nature, this lengthy response takes a biographical character, because I don’t only focus on what, when and with whom I studied but mainly on how and why. As thematic biography, it presents indirectly but transparently my moral approach to scholarship, exploration, study, knowledge and wisdom. To lesser extent, it reveals the paths and the outlines of my investigations, also presenting how from liberating myself from the shackles of today’s decayed, corrupt and terminating world in order to best assess and acquire the supremacy Ancient Oriental Genius, I was able to inculcate myself with the Ancient Oriental world conceptualization, principles and moral standards in order to examine today’s world with the criteria of the only archetypal humans – those who were still able to recollect the circumstances of the Creation and the abhorrent occurrences of the pre-creational Non-being.

This is what my studies, explorations, contemplations and ruminations have always been: a permanent process of spiritual effluxion and influxion. It has to do with Soft Waters and not with Air; or like my Assyriologist professor Jean Bottéro used to persistently repeat, with Ea and not Enlil.

But when you make the equation of Ilu (Sumerian: DINGIR) with Allah, with Whom should you associate the original Sumerogram? With Ashur, with Anu or with Apsu? I am afraid that only the 600 Anunnaki will respond to this question – to those who will manage to reach them in the extreme depths. Until then, the entire Mankind is totally impotent, as it has been held captive, and all the rest does not matter.

Response to an Oromo academic and friend about my studies and professors

My dear friend,

Thank you very much for mentioning my name and speech/publication in your pioneering article for which I congratulate you!

Apologies for the delay with which I respond to your three messages for which I also thank you! I already noticed your fourth message!

………………………….

Thank you very much for your admiration and compliments for which I also express my gratitude, although late. It is my firm decision and I always implement it: when I need some time to plainly respond, I never respond briefly and quickly! I am not an imperial Chinese mandarin or a miserable EU/US administrator to ‘expedite’ affairs; I never do this! I hate it, I despise it, and I disdain it. I am the master of my time, and the man has not been born who will make me change my mind and erratically accord less time to a letter that deserves a longer response. To what extent can this happen? I will give you an example.

A US-based Oromo medical doctor and epidemiologist (by coincidence!) wrote to me in late September 2020 an email, asking me how I would consider the chances of Egypt supporting consciously and systematically the struggle of Oromos for national liberation and independence. His email was brief; no more than 10-12 lines. My response arrived late – again! I started responding in November 2020! How long was it?

Well, it consisted of five parts; each of them became immediately an uploaded article; and all five articles -that are nothing more than just my response to a 10-12 lines- email total … 37000 words (!!). They are going to be soon published in an independent book!

Personally, I would find myself ashamed to respond in 5-10 lines to that guy, who happens to be the younger brother of a Wollega friend and academic with whom I exchanged many emails as early as 2006! This situation has nothing to do with the correspondent; it is about me, about the topic of discussion, and also about how I react to the surrounding environment.

Back to you now! Your messages prove that you don’t know me and this can happen, even if you visited the parts of my, not recently updated, CV that are the pages of this blog: https://megalommatiscomments.wordpress.com/ This can also happen even if you read the quadripartite online interview that I gave to a California-based Christian Oromo scholar back in 2004; he had been monitoring my texts and my responses in passionate discussions that were then published in an online forum where an extreme polarization had taken place between Oromos and others from one side and Tigray – Amhara Ethiopianists from the other side. Of course, I sided with the former. In that interview, I was offered the chance to speak to some extent about my life, studies and researches, and you can find all four parts republished as one unit here (of course, 35000 words in total!; the part about my background is the first): https://www.academia.edu/23432753/Voice_Finfinne_Organization_Interview_with_Professor_Muhammad_Shamsaddin_Megalommatis_on_the_Oromos_Ethiopia_Sudan_Abyssinia_and_East_Africa I still remember myself sitting in a Sidi Gabr (district) Alexandria Internet Café (located on the Corniche – at the seafront) during the weekends and writing it, while watching the Mediterranean Sea in my break time! It was August and September 2004.

You are “captivated” by my “rich experience” and my “rich knowledge” and thank you for that, but you should not! In my response, I will offer you some insightful biographical details, describing personal choices and habits. I will also narrate some colorful events from my studies.

In the past, instead of using the term ‘Orientalist’ to describe myself, I was writing under my name the following: ‘Egyptologist, Assyriologist, Iranologist, Islamologist’. I did not add more, although I could, because I am also a Sovietologist and a specialist on Russia, Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia, a political scientist, and an economist. There were several people, who expressed either curiosity or skepticism as regards how one person can be specialized in four five or more different fields.

Several pernicious Amhara and Tigray participants, after they noticed that I rejected their evildoing and I denounced the tribal tyranny that they had imposed on numerous Cushitic, Nilo-Saharan and Bantu nations across the colonial state of Abyssinia, started deriding my numerous academic titles. More they advanced into it, more I revealed about their barbaric past and their evildoing! And this story went on and on and on, until some hysterical guys among them started asking others to kill me and even to have me hanged in Tahrir Square (long before the notorious events of the so-called ‘Arab’ ‘Spring’ took place in that ominous location)! It was extremely amusing to an extent that you cannot imagine! Death? My death? Who cares? Death for a noble cause is the most honorable exit from this world and the most augural transience to the Hereafter.

However, the original question about one scholar’s many titles is always valid and very normal. There are indeed very few people specializing in even two fields. A simple answer to this question, as far as I am concerned, can be obtained through a careful reading of my CV: https://megalommatiscomments.wordpress.com/about/

If you scroll down (after the first half of the web page) and reach the unit ‘Education’, you will see a very analytical presentation of my studies at all levels: secondary, graduate, postgraduate, and doctoral. You will find out the names of the universities that I attended, the years of my attendance, and the topics that I studied. You will even find (section 5) the names of my professors during my postgraduate and doctoral studies – in many different countries.

Of course, you will ask simply “how all this”? This is what I will reveal to you now.

In fact, anyone can do it; surely one person can be a fully accredited specialist in 4, 5 or 6 branches of Humanities or in other sectors of the science. Suffice it that he wants to do it – or that he needs to do it. This situation marks a at times chaotic difference from the rest. And as you can guess, a totally different purpose of life is usually sought after by the people who differ so much from the rest. This is exactly what I intend to reveal to you right away.

I. My Difference from the Rest: Postgraduate Specialization in 6 Different Fields

As all people know very well, pursuing postgraduate studies or preparing a Master’s degree takes seminar attendance of 6-10 hours per week for two years and the submission of one (Master’s degree) thesis. You are a historian or an archeologist with a graduation (BA) and you are an Egyptologist or a Classicist with a MA or MPhil.

Well, as far as I am concerned, during only my 3-year postgraduate studies in Paris (1978-1981), which was only the beginning of my postgraduate studies, I attended seminars for 63-65 hours per week (during a week of 6 working days). I was the student, who ran daily from 7:30 am until 10 pm to classes and universities. The rest of the time, you could still find me either in libraries to ask/pay photocopies or in the metro, buses and taxis, when I was moving from one course to another. No cafés, no restaurants, no cabarets, no bars, no discos, no friends, no cinemas, no theaters, no girlfriends, and no free time. (And certainly no football matches, because I find this barbaric act and paranoid pseudo-game as a vicious and devious English invention to destroy the human character. Playing or watching football is totally inhuman and utterly self-disastrous.) When arriving back home at 10:30 or 11 pm, I still had to study and read either books or photocopies until 2 am. I never slept more than 4h30 or 5 hours per day, except for weekends.

In my vacations, of course, I spent the time differently, but my ‘vacations’ were rather explorations, travels, and visits to important sites, plus -of course- night life. But I never slept at 3 am after a nocturnal explosion without waking up at 7 am in order to climb up mountains and visit sites and monuments. I surely spent time in hundreds of 5 stars hotels in my life; but I was never a useful idiot wasting time on the beach and in the paranoid, self-disastrous, and evil modern habit of sunbathing. I am a very good swimmer and I can swim or sail in the rough sea, but I detest and do not frequent organized tourist beaches.

II. A Major Differentiation from the Rest: I never studied in order to find a ‘Job’

There is another, perhaps even more important, difference between me and most of my friends and mates of those days; back then, I sensed it too, but -I must admit it- only vaguely. Later, in my 40s, I understood it very clearly. And I thank God, who helped me find my path easily. The others, the useful idiots, studied only to obtain a ‘paper’! These are the miserable wreckages and the ruined humanoids who ‘work’ now in today’s useless universities of the West, i.e. all those disreputable institutions of darkness, forgery and deliberate falsification that emit billions of tons of pseudo-academic garbage and intellectual contamination with their monstrous lies, which cause genocides, civil wars, conflicts, oppression and persecution of numerous subjugated nations worldwide, as well as disaster, misery and calamity to all. For them, their degrees, certificates and diplomas were more valuable than the Quran, the Gospels, the Torah, the Avesta, the Ancient Egyptian holy book of the Amduat, the Hittite holy book of Ullikummi, and the Assyrian-Babylonian holy book of Enuma Elish combined!!!

All that these lowly and execrable humanoids wanted when young was just to obtain a paper in order to validate a nonsensical, disgusting and nauseating career as mendacious bureaucrats, duplicitous functionaries, inhumanely elitist apparatchiks, ludicrous fanfare employees, money-producing devilish rats, anthropomorphic dogs (like rabid Madeleine Albright and Jendayi Frazer, the Rastafarian mistress of dozens of thousands of filthy men and monstrous Satan-worshippers), hypocritical and evil administrators, pseudo-academic slaves who can teach every type of nonsense that serves the criminal Western system, ambition-driven liars who -for the sake of a professional promotion- could sell their mothers as prostitutes in the bazaars of Mozambique, mask-wearing hyenas for whom the destiny of a nation matters less than their wife’s newly bought shoes (like those of the disreputably Turkish whore Emine Erdogan that cost 10000 dollars!) and foolish political clowns.

This was what most of my friends and mates opted for or -in the best case scenario for them- what they were dragged into, because of their lack of significant purpose in life and due to their calamitous lack of reaction and steadfast rejection of the lie, the false, and the evil. In brief, these people were characterized by a passive life stance that made their lives useless and worthless. And this is my judgment of them: my generation (in the Western World and in the Soviet Bloc) was inferior, valueless and shameful; as unmerited children of better parents and superior grandparents, my generation (and in a wider sense, all those born between 1930 and 1970) should have never existed.

III. My Firm and Fearless Search of Truth

Why do millions of people not react to today’s paranoia, which imposes Kosovo to be a separate country from Albania, Oromia to be enslaved to Amhara bastards, and Pashtun gangsters, disguised as Islamists and ‘Taliban’, to kill Hazaras, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Turkmen, and Iranians in the fake state of Afghanistan, which is nothing else than “the” Asiatic “Ethiopia”?

The answer is simple: because of fear.

Contrarily to them, I did not study in order to obtain a paper that I would use to apply for a position in a university, ministry or international organization. My degrees, diplomas and certificates only confirm my assiduity and my knowledge. I studied, because I wanted to discover the original genius of the Mankind and the archetypal spiritual identity of the first and supreme humans, who have remained unmatched, unequaled and unrivaled down to our days: the early Egyptians, Sumerians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. From the beginning, I knew that this would not come through just the studies themselves, but only thanks to my own personal work, which I would undertake after the completion of my studies and following my critical stance toward, and judgment about, my studies and the methods of my professors.

I wanted to discover their worldview – and not to simply project today’s obligatorily imposed (via home, school and university education) but arbitrary and erroneous worldview on the ancient nations and their sacred texts, cosmogonies, cosmologies, wisdom and literatures. I knew already that projecting today’s criteria on ancient nations and on their contemplations, spiritual intuitions, wisdom and worldviews would not allow me to possibly pretend that I “know” them. Such an attempt would only be foolish, and as such useless.

Modern science took a wrong path, deviated, and turned against all moral standards that for thousands of years defined Ancient Science, which is now lost and extremely difficult to reconstitute; modern science currently leads to nowhere, except for lie, falsehood, and deception. These elements bring about the destruction, the death and the annihilation of the Mankind. Modern scholars clearly did not have respect for their object of study whatever this may have been (Ancient Egyptian religions, Babylonian cosmology, Achaemenid Zoroastrian imperial universalism or Kaffa oral traditions).

Instead, they projected their own, erroneous, deceptive, unreal, false and evil worldview on their object of study, and they evaluated the past with their own, genuinely erratic and utterly inhuman, criteria. But by so doing, they only saw themselves in Ancient Egyptian, Sumerian-Akkadian, Assyrian-Babylonian, Hittite, Hurrian, Elamite, Canaanite-Phoenician, Cushitic, Iranian-Turanian, Dravidian and Chinese clothes. Their approaches were uneven and petulant, and therefore their conclusions were confusing, misleading, and distortive. All this sounds eventually general or generic, but it ends up being extremely specified and concerning a multitude of unique points/issues. I will give you an example.

IV. The Oromo–Amhara Divide: a Permanent Litmus Paper for All

It is only because Western European explorers, researchers and scholars projected their viewpoints onto their study objects and they saw themselves in the ‘other’ that 19th c. Western explorers in Africa so much preferred the Amharas to the Oromos: because the Amhara had texts, which are to large extent evil forgeries like Kebra Negast, whereas the Oromos had oral traditions, which were not ‘trustworthy’ for the Western forgers, because simply they could not forge and distort anything in them.

The Western scholars were not able to draw the correct conclusion from Achaemenid Iran; Avesta, the holy book of Zoroastrianism, was never written at those days. Why? Because the ‘written’ can be forged, but the ‘oral’ cannot. How?

This is so because the ‘oral’ tradition means community without segregated elites, which can eventually be divided into several groups that are in secretive conflict with one another.

But the ‘written’ source means a divided community and segregated groups of elite, which ceaselessly ‘write’ their ‘own’ (so: fake) version of the past or their own worldview or their own cosmology or their own eschatology.

All religious wars are initially conflicts among monks, scribes, priests and authors of different versions of texts. But for this to happen, secluded orders and secretive societies must exist among the others, the gullible members of a divided society. Every secret group is a cancerous tumor and a crime against the Mankind. And this is what the Western European nations have been for two millennia: deeply divided societies in conflict about differently written or interpreted sacred texts. As the Western explorers were unable to implement self-criticism, they automatically preferred the Amhara divided and barbaric society that was based in forgery of written sources. Unfortunately for them, there cannot be secret societies; it is impermissible and as such, it brings the end of the society.

This is the tragic superiority of the Oromos over the Amharas: whereas the Oromos have had a genuine community that shared knowledge, values, wisdom, moral principles, and traditions, the Amharas were led by segregated debteras, who worked in isolation and darkness to forge or at times destroy their written sources and to come up with viciously distorted versions that involved racist concepts and generated hatred and fanaticism. All the others among them lived like animals and waited the debteras to pick up one incestuous gangster after another so that they call them ’emperors’; there has never been any ‘Solomonic’ (or other) dynasty among the Amharas, because the Amharas were genuinely unable to ever imagine (let alone know) what nobility and royalty are.

—————————————————————-

This is what the Western academics failed to grasp:

Civilization, Humanity and Originality are to be found here (Oromos in community meeting):

but not here (manuscript of Kebra Negast in an Amhara monastery):

True Humanity existed before the invention of the Writing; Writing brought about the lies, the forgeries, the fallacies, the corruption, the decay and the end of the Mankind; and there is no Writing in the Original Paradise or in the Perfect Society after the End of Times

—————————————————————–

But unfortunately, not one modern Oromo managed to assess in depth the Oromo superiority over the Amhara and subsequently conclude why the English, the French, the Americans and all the colonial forces would never allow the Oromos in peace, would never prevent the enslavement of the Oromos, and would never tolerate an Independent Oromia. That is why not one Oromo can ever discuss, meet or just say ‘hello’ to any English, French, American or any other colonial diplomat, politician, businessman, academic and army officer.

That is why you cannot call the historical Oromo social organization system of traditions and moral values Gadaa … a ‘democratic’ system! It is an insulting and denigrating adjective, as well as defamatory and pejorative. In reality, there is nothing so low and so villainous as ‘democratic’ in your traditional social system! As a matter of fact, Gadaa is a noble and lofty system compatible with a Motii/King (https://research.vu.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/42153299/complete+dissertation.pdf)and the true reflection of peaceful communality, transcendental wisdom, ancestral respect intertwined with Oromo spirituality and Waaqeffannaa piety and cult. Quite contrarily, the outrageously inhuman, sinful and rotten system of ‘democracy’, the world’s most barbaric invention of the uncivilized Ancient Greeks, i.e. the failed students of the Ancient Egyptian temples, involves utmost racism (slaves were considered ‘things’), gender discrimination (women had no rights), children’s abuse, impiety and disbelief, materialism, atheism, and inhumanity. About:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herm_(sculpture)#Trial_of_Alcibiades

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_Expedition#Destruction_of_the_Hermai

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcibiades#Sicilian_Expedition

Either in the disreputable, ugly, filthy (due to the lack of sewerage), syphilis-stricken, homosexuality-infested, pedophilia-plagued and cursed city of Ancient Athens or in the modern Satanic realms of US, France, England, etc., democracy is the culmination of inhumanity, rejection of and enmity towards Waaqo / Allah / God, foremost barbarism, merciless cruelty, and excruciating sin. Because they were ‘democratic’, they were colonial – and not the vice versa.

Is it therefore strange that the bastard, pseudo-royal elites of Portugal, England and France preferred and supported the Amharas against the Somalis, the Afars, the Oromos, the Kaffas, the Agaws, and all the rest from the early 16th c. down to the 21st century?

No!

Why don’t you study the filthy story of the criminal pseudo-royal families of these colonial states? No one can accurately count who -among them- may have been filthy homosexuals, who were the queens who ruled alone by having every night occult sexual orgies with groups of men, and who had sexual intercourse with his daughter or her son! This excrement of History and Barbarism is called ‘Western Europe’: Germans were not like this! Italians were not like this! Poles and Russians were not like this!

V. In Great Contrast with the Rest: to understand the ‘Other’, I rejected myself

So, to return to my studies and explorations, I can surely say that, in striking contrast with the others, who saw in an excavation or in an archaeological site the means of their own profession, I never reached a historical place or any portion of a tract and I never arrived in a location except as a pilgrim and as a suppliant.

I was always well-prepared at the material level (having gone through the scholarly publications and also elaborated my eventual criticism of some of them) and I mainly dedicated myself to the spiritual study of the hundreds of places that I explored. I was able to decompose and assess the elements of every different land: there is no piece of land composed out of only ‘land’; in every land, there are: land, air, soft water, aether (which is the quintessence out of which everything emanated), and some portion of salt. The different composition of each and every portion of tract predetermines the differentiation of the people, who will settle there and make it theirs, from the others.

The Assyrians were different from the Babylonians because the land itself of their original city (Ashur) was different from the piece of land where Babylon was erected. In other words, if the Assyrians settled in another land, they would be very different. And they knew it; their vast knowledge on the matter, i.e. the Ancient Oriental Science of Geographical Determinism, was a major factor of the lives of all Ancient Oriental nations either in Asia or in Africa. The Ancient Egyptians and Cushites – Meroites were very well versed in this knowledge.

Same for the great Meroitic – Oromo migration: the Meroitic priests, who drove you to your location, knew very well what they did. You are the product of the highlands and the plateau of Oromia, and these lands formed you and preserved you as you are. You would be destroyed if you settled in the arid mountains around Gondar; and those mountains affected the Amhara. There is even a Biblical verse about those mountains, but few people care to study it in-depth, although it is prophetic. Not all arid mountains are the same; not all fertile lands are the same; and every land is a particularity.

VI. Colonization: a Sacrilegious Act bringing forth the End of France and England

Unfortunately, all this did not matter for the outright majority of the 18th–19th–20th c. European scholars, who arrived in the colonized lands as conquerors and -even worse- viewed themselves as proud vanquishers of foreign lands, as enemies of the indigenous nations, and as destroyers. The expressed arrogance, enmity, hatred and utmost negativity prevented them from understanding the lands that they invaded and the great nations that they inhabited them. That’s why they were never able to build a pyramid like those of Kemet (Egypt), Cush (Ancient Ethiopia: Napata and Meroe) or Mesopotamia (Sumer and Elam).

They failed to assess that their own lands were inferior to the lands that they colonized and -even more importantly- that their sources (the corpus of Ancient Greek and Latin texts) were inferior to the Ancient Oriental sources that they managed to decipher. In a way, the modern decipherment of so many ancient writing systems, and primarily of the Ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, Elamite, Akkadian, Assyrian-Babylonian, Hurrian, Hittite, Ugaritic Canaanite, and Iranian sources, did not truly prove to be truly beneficial to Western scholarship because of the Western academics’ attitude to ceaselessly project themselves onto the object of their study,

The result was that they deciphered ancient texts only to misunderstand them. This was in fact the revenge of the lands that they invaded; the arrogant invaders in reality failed to reach the level of advanced science that the Wise Elders and High priests of Mesopotamia, Kemet (Egypt), and Cush (Sudan-Ethiopia, but not Abyssinia) and had attained before 4500 years. The exceptional case of Edward Leedskalnin proves that the entire Western European – North American pseudo-science, which started with the unprecedented fallacy of Inhuman Renaissance, is a devious self-indoctrination with lies and paranoid maxims arbitrarily expressed, unwisely accepted, uncritically reproduced, and thoughtlessly extended.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Leedskalnin

The diverse, disparate and inconsistent tribes that European colonial gangsters fashioned as ‘Ancient Greeks’ never existed as a unity of civilization. The same concerns also the Ancient Romans, although they were a coherent, military nation. The Ancient Romans and Greeks were civilized only when they were flooded by numerous Oriental cults, religions, systems of spirituality, cosmogonies, wisdom, cosmologies, eschatology, soteriology, universal(-ist) imperial conceptualization, and transcendental performance.

There was never an ancient state named ‘Greece’; and all those, whom the European academic criminals label ‘Greeks’, used to name themselves with diverse names, incessantly expressing rancor and evilness against one another. Their misplaced mythology testifies to their delusion and hallucination; and because they knew that they were ignorant barbarians, they went to Babylonia, to Iran, to Phoenicia and to Egypt in order to study for many long years. Do you know an Ancient Babylonian, Egyptian or Phoenician, who traveled to Ancient ‘Greece’ in order to … study? None! Why? Because there was nothing to study there! ‘Greece’ was on the wrong side of the Mediterranean; and the same is valid for the Romans, who are in fact Trojans (Anatolians), who moved to that land.

With this incontrollable deception in their heads, the Western colonial academia carried out a sacrilegious act of extreme vulgarity and utmost paranoia; they projected their peremptory and delusional worldview onto the lands (and subsequently the nations) that they invaded. Because the Ancient Romans had invaded Kemet (Egypt), the ignorant French barbarian Napoleon was paranoid enough to imagine that he had the right (as a fictional descendant of the Romans) to eventually ‘conquer’ and ‘civilize’ Masr in 1798 (whereas -quite contrarily- in the Antiquity the Egyptians civilized Rome, Greece and the Roman Empire, after they were conquered by Octavian in 30 BCE)

Quite unfortunately for Napoleon, he invaded another land (Masr was not Kemet anymore), he and his scholars failed to understand the wisdom of the ancient monuments and texts, nd he gravely disrespected the land projecting on the Masriyin (modern ‘Egyptians’) his own barbarism, deception, heresy, forgery and falsehood. Consequence of the Anglo-French colonization of Kemet-Egypt-Masr will be the forthcoming African-Asiatic-Islamic invasion of Western Europe, the much needed elimination of the cursed and incestuous French and English pseudo-nations, the final dissolution of France and England, and the confiscation of all possessions of Western European museums, libraries and universities which will return to Asia and Africa. This will be the revenge of the Valley of the Nile – or if you prefer, the Curse of the Pharaoh!

VII. Self-Denial, Understanding of the ‘Other’ through their Criteria, and the Ensuing Benefits

Not only did I truly and wholeheartedly care to understand every civilization by means of their own criteria, principles, standards and methods, but I also managed to use their viewpoints to examine and evaluate today’s world. And since then, I have been repeatedly and absolutely shocked while gradually discovering how inhuman it is.

This is by definition the true, normal and natural path of a student, researcher, explorer and scholar: you don’t study for money, professional position, financial benefit, social promotion, reputation, presence in the social life, and respectability among the ruling idiots, paranoids, gangsters, criminals, fraudsters and crooks. Money is evil and therefore useless; it can only corrupt those who possess it. The only thing you can do, as soon as you have much money, is to pass it onto others and distribute it to the needy.

You study for yourself and for the world; and the world is everything – except for today’s evil elites. Why? Because they are dead and rotten! Contrarily, the study and the exploration are for the alive. And in every historical moment, there are both, people who are alive and past generations that remain alive through the historical sources, the monuments, and the vibrations (meditations, contemplations, emotions and thoughts) that they left for us. Suffice it that you reject yourself and you can live in their bodies! Then, you can assess today’s decayed and terminating world through their eyes! This is the essence of historical scholarship for a man who possesses both, a living soul and a living body: you study to discover the real genius of the past generations and find -through them and on the basis of their principles- yourself. After attaining that level, you can assess and judge today’s world safely, wisely and accurately.

As you can understand, when one really cares about Shorkaror of Meroe, Akhenaten of Kemet (Egypt), Sargon II of Assyria, and many other noble rulers, one cannot possibly care about today’s rotten Western world that stinks disturbingly for all the rest, asking for its utmost elimination and irrevocable disappearance.

VIII. A Determinant Distinctiveness: Opposing Professors who made Mistakes or said Lies

Due to the aforementioned situations, another -also significant- dissimilarity, which truly characterized me, was the fact that I did not imitate the other students, friends and mates, who were credulous, hypocritical, obedient, servile and submissive enough to accept unquestionably everything that our professors said. Those guys finally became the miserable, useful idiots of today’s evil administrations of the Western world. Because they studied having (in their useless and corrupt mind) as final target a position, money and personal material interests, they never disagreed with our professors – not even when these professors said nonsensical lies, made deliberate mistakes, and distorted critical historical sources in order to promote present political interests.

Personally, ever since I remember myself (at the age of 2 and 3), I always had the conviction that life matters only when in Truth, honesty, rightfulness, justice and normalcy (i.e. the inherent moral code that is embedded in every human as per the Laws of the Creation). I never kept my mouth closed when I heard a mistake, a premeditated forgery or an excruciating lie. There is a supreme rule in human life: “you cannot say lies”. Saying lies is tantamount to killing. By saying lies, you damage a part of the Universe. There is no Creation without Truth. That is why anyone who says lies pays a terrible price at the end; but of course then, it is too late.

So, contrarily to the rest, all those miserable and petty students who feared that they would damage their lives by opposing or attacking (verbally) professors when they were saying lies or eventually making mistakes, I straightforwardly reacted on the spur of the moment, when something wrong or false was said. This concerns you, I mean, all the Oromos, very much indeed! I will give you now two examples that concern you.

IX. My Professor, the Egyptologist Jean Leclant, his friend Haile Selassie, and the fabrication of Fake Ethiopia

The first example concerns my Egyptologist professor in France, Jean Leclant (1920-2011), an academician, who became (1984) the Permanent Secretary of the (founded in 1663) Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres for 27 years (until he died, 2011):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acad%C3%A9mie_des_Inscriptions_et_Belles-Lettres

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Leclant

As a young scholar, Leclant became a personal friend of Haile Selassie in 1956, when he was tasked by the pseudo-emperor to found the local Service of Antiquities. At the same time, he convinced Haile Selassie to insist on usurping the fair name of ‘Ethiopia’ (which really corresponds only to Sudan – as land), instead of using for his country the only permissible name, i.e. ‘Abyssinia’. He even narrated to the ignorant and loathed dictator that, in the past, there was an Egyptian dynasty (notably the 25th), which was named ‘Ethiopian’ by the Late Antiquity Egyptian historian Manetho. This was true, but it was not an ‘invasion’, as silly and useless Abyssinian ‘diplomats’ pretend. Manetho’s term ‘Ethiopian dynasty’ concerned, as you already know, the Ancient Sudanese (Cushites) of Napata (today’s Karima), who were invited by the priests of Amun of Niwt (Ancient Thebes, today’s Luxor) to rule Egypt in order to oppose the alliance of the opposite priesthood of Iwnw (Heliopolis, in today’s Matariya district of Cairo) with the Berber (‘Libyan’/Lebu) princes of the Delta. In fact, it was an episode of a terrible internal division that had started at ca. 1080 BCE, so more than 400 years before Taharqa ruled at Thebes of Egypt in what surely was the peak period of the 25th (Ethiopian/Cushitic – and not Abyssinian) dynasty of Egypt.

Leclant was a great Egyptologist, and he was at the time working on his post-doctoral thesis (doctorat d’État) exactly on the 25th dynasty of Egypt; Montuemhat was an incredible figure and an able administrator who managed to survive all the ups and downs of the 670s, 660s and 650s (of the 1st millennium BCE), when thrice the Assyrians invaded Egypt to kick the Sudanese Cushites (‘Ethiopians’) out and to impose their Berber (‘Libyan’) friends, i.e. the various Nechao and Psamtek, who thus formed the 26th, known (thanks again to Manetho) as ‘Libyan’, dynasty:

Taharqa’s column in Karnak, Luxor – Upper Egypt: the Cushites – Ethiopians did not ‘invade’ Ancient Egypt; they were called by the Theban priests, who were their coreligionists, to fight the opposite priesthood of Iwnw (Heliopolis) and their Berber (‘Libyan’) allies

By saying this story to Haile Selassie and by making the ignorant and idiotic pseudo-emperor imagine that he was the ‘ancestor’ of Taharqa, the strongest ruler of the 25th ‘Ethiopian’ dynasty, Leclant simply

a. ensured that the traditional Abyssinian enmity for the Muslims of Sudan and Egypt would attain a much higher, nationalistic, degree of paroxysm;

b. guaranteed that the then nascent state and modern nation of Sudan

1. would not be named ‘Ethiopia’ (as it should);

2. would be disconnected from their own brethren, i.e. the Oromos and the other subjugated Cushitic nations of Abyssinia;

3. would be dissociated from their own past and monuments (which would be attributed to ‘Nubians’ in order to provide a nonexistent past to the state of ‘Nubia’ that French and English Freemasons plan to fabricate by detaching the southern part of Egypt and the northern part of Sudan); and

4. would be plunged into the colonial cholera of Pan-Arabism and Arab Nationalism that are fake ideologies derived from conscious distortion of History and are unrelated to either the Cushitic Arabic-speaking Sudanese, the Cushitic Beja, the Nilo-Saharan Nubians, Berta and Furis;

c. made it sure that all these lands and nations would never achieve proper nation-building and emancipate themselves; and

d. prepared them for their future usage (as colonized states) that forthcoming generations of colonial diplomats and academics would decide what to make.

When two nations are entrapped in false identity schemes and the Abyssinians think that they are ‘Ethiopians’ whereas the Sudanese Ethiopians do not know that they are Ethiopians, then the colonial masters have an incredible weapon in their hands: they can plunge the two disoriented and deceived countries, elites and governments into endless wars very easily; just when their military industries need to sell more arms.

So, when you happen by mistake to be in front of nonsensical texts like those below, you must know that my professor produced all that:

The Ethiopian Culture of Ancient Egypt: Introduction To Amarigna and Tigrigna Hieroglyphs from Legesse Allyn

and

https://books.google.ru/books?id=fmmcfwl-xAEC&pg=PA55&lpg=PA55&dq=%22ethiopian+dynasty&source=bl&ots=yetnvJpTGQ&sig=ACfU3U3ZBILOf_OtU-StMaPHvjnsJZkv0w&hl=ru&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi5wZD7hPTxAhXKwAIHHVDWBWEQ6AEwUXoECBEQAw#v=onepage&q=%22ethiopian%20dynasty&f=false

I still remember that back in 1978-1979, in my first year of postgraduate studies, in Leclant’s postgraduate seminar, which was attended by many French, and several other European, as well as Egyptian, Sudanese and other African students, this topic was once raised. It must have been April 1979, when one student referred to the 25th dynasty that he named in French “dite éthiopienne” (so-called Ethiopian), and I intervened to say that this term was confusing. Then, Leclant asked me why this was confusing, although it was in the historical sources (notably in Manetho), and I said that it would be better to call the 25th dynasty ‘Cushitic’ or ‘Sudanese’, so that no one confuses the ‘Ethiopians’ of the Antiquity with the modern state of Abyssinia that is illegally named ‘Ethiopia’.

Taharqa, the most powerful pharaoh of the 25th (‘Ethiopian’) dynasty was a Cushite of Ancient Sudan – not an ancestor to the Semitic Abyssinian tribes of Tigray and Amhara

All were at once taken by surprise, Leclant included (I saw it on their faces), but I continued to the end adding the following: “alternatively, the UN must reject Abyssinia’s new name, force that communist country (it was 1979) to be named ‘Abyssinia’, and also ask Sudan to be renamed as ‘Ethiopia’. I still remember the enormous eyes of a shocked Sudanese colleague; they were open wide! Leclant did not say anything, but his face was apparently disturbed. However, he always liked me and supported me; making great compliments about me to anyone he spoke with, he once said to the Israeli Egyptologist Sarah Israelit Groll (when she asked him prior to my arrival in Israel where I continued my studies with her in 1984-1985) about me “he learns languages like nothing”!

But the embarrassing truth is that Leclant was forging names of countries like nothing.

X. Attending the Seminar of Maxime Rodinson, the French Orientalist

As an anti-Zionist Ashkenazi, anti-Soviet Marxist, and atheist, Rodinson (1915-2004) was perhaps the most famous, the most intellectual, and the most controversial among all of my professors. He did not have the illustrious career and the important positions of Jean Leclant (who was also a director in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was supervising all French archaeological missions outside France – an enormous task), but he was an exceptional polyglot, a formidable ideologist, and a skillful academic able to offer vast theoretical background to his interpretation of historical developments. He was a very popular intellectual among all leftist youngsters who happened to originate from former French colonies or anywhere else (Iran, India, Indonesia and Latin America, etc.).

The fact that he, as an Ashkenazi (this means a ‘fake Jew’, but few people understand it) turned against the state of Israel and supported the Palestinians against the so-called Jewish settlers offered him an aura of moral and intellectual authority and the fame of a righteous opponent of all oppressors. Hhhmm! He was a leading figure of Pan-Arabism in the sense that his Marxist worldview ‘had’ to cope with the French colonial interests, and it is very well known that the French gangsters started already in the 18th c. fabricating the fake ‘Arab’ nation in order to regroup numerous, very different nations between Mauritania and Oman into one force that they wanted to use as a proxy. Of course, Rodinson was very correct when opposing Political Islam and all types of Islamism, but his criticism never led to the Truth properly speaking, but to other misconceptions. Here you find a genuine representation of who Maxime Robinson was:

https://www.jacobinmag.com/2021/01/maxime-rodinson-islam-middle-east

(I also add the following for the list of his publications)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxime_Rodinson

His ‘Islam and Capitalism’ is remarkable in that he trashed all the ridiculous Sharia ‘laws’ (to which today so many idiotic, ignorant and uneducated Islamists aspire), by demonstrating that, throughout Islamic History, the useless and worthless Sharia was not implemented for the sake of Quranic ‘orthodoxy’ or out of Islamic piety, but simply because of dirty socio-economic interests, passion for absolute power, and usurpation of the governance. But then, if for no less than 1400 years Sharia was merely the good Marketing performance of every criminal gangster willing to posture as ‘acting according to the divine law’, why supporting the implementation of Sharia today? It would be idiotic, hypocritical and shameful for a Muslim. Better than any other publication, this book makes it clear that today’s evil pseudo-Muslim politicians, who call for Sharia, want merely to show their filthy interests as ‘Islamic’.

His ‘Muhammad’ was surely Rodinson’s most controversial book, in the sense that (https://www.nyrb.com/products/muhammad?variant=32798258200713) it generated rage and wrath among all Islamists, Jihadists, Wahhabis and the other idiots of Political Islam, who are all fake Muslims without even understanding it. Even Edward Said wrote a eulogy (and I say ‘even’, because the two scholars did not have good relations, as Maxime Rodinson did not endorse the ardent anti-colonial positions of the Christian Palestinian intellectual. Personally, I find several good points in that book (Muhammad), but I reject it in the approach that it expresses, because Rodinson very often stops being a perspicacious explorer and projects his own considerations, feelings and ideas onto the natural environment out of which Muhammad emanated.

Was Maxime Rodinson the defender of all oppressed people and nations? Surely not!

Quite on the contrary! When it came to the colonial interests of France, he knew how to keep his mouth closed and accept discriminatory, racist terms. He was certainly an academic who could teach in more than 10 academic fields; I attended for three years (1978-1981) his seminars at the famous École pratique des hautes etudes, 4th section (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89cole_pratique_des_hautes_%C3%A9tudes#Historical_and_Philological_Sciences)

His two seminars were a) on the Pre-Islamic History of Red Sea and Indian Ocean and b) unpublished Ge’ez theological and literary manuscripts. The first seminar involved the study of many historical sources in several ancient languages, notably Ancient Yemenite (Sabaean, Himyarite), Syriac Aramaic, Ge’ez, Ancient Greek and Medieval Greek, and Latin. As you can guess, we used to study excerpts from the famous 19th c. monumental series Patrologia Graeca (160 volumes), Patrologia Latina (217 volumes), and Patrologia Orientalis (50 volumes). About:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrologia_Graeca

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrologia_Latina

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrologia_Orientalis

In the second seminar, we studied several Ge’ez texts notably the Ge’ez version of the illustrious early Christian and/or Gnostic text of Physiologos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physiologus

There were about 10-15 scholars and postgraduate students attending the seminar. I still remember a Pan-Arabist Yemenite from Sanaa, two Amhara Abyssinians (pro-royalists and against the then new Derg regime that Maxime Rodinson supported), and except me, all the rest were French and Western Europeans (one Swiss, one English Jewish lady, and two Germans).

XI. Maxime Rodinson took position against the Liberation of Ogaden (1977-1978) and supported the Imperialist Soviet and Cuban colonials against Somalia

I still remember that Maxime Rodinson, the righteous ‘Marxist’, called the very rightful attack of President Siyaad Barre of Somalia on the impermissible colonial relic of Abyssinia an ‘expansionist’ war! I opposed him, because I knew already that the Ogadeni were Somali and that Ogaden was a historical land of Somalia. The Amhara guy, Argaw Makonnen, interfered to say that the Ogadenis hate the other Somalis and that the other Somalis do not want them with them, which was of course a lie. This was quite early, because I started my studies with him in October 1978 and the Ogaden war had just finished.

About the Amhara royalist guy, you can find some his publications here (most in French): https://www.idref.fr/081906528 and https://worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n85183007/ At least, I am happy to notice that now the French use the term “Oromo” (soon, you will understand why!): http://semioweb.msh-paris.fr/escom/ressources_enligne/wwwarchives/AfriqueParis/PageWeb/CentreRecherche/CERAOC.html

Rodinson was evidently and partially pro-Amhara. I also remember that he made parallels between the attempt of Siyaad Barre to bring justice to the Horn of Africa and King Ahmed ibn Ibrahim’s effort to destroy the pseudo-Christian Amhara kingdom of Gondar in the early 16th c., when the Portuguese colonial gangsters managed to sustain the dispersed and defeated Amhara soldiers. I also remember that Rodinson presented the ‘Conquest of Abyssinia’ as a ‘religious war’, which is wrong.

XII. Maxime Rodinson shamelessly speaking about the “Gallas”

On another occasion, I heard a discussion about the “Gallas”. As I was just 22 and I did not know much about the wider Horn Region, I tried to remember what a young Greek friend had told me in Greece; she was born in Abyssinia and she spoke 2-3 local languages, but she had to leave with her family in 1974 due to the regime change. She had the same age as I had, and we were students at the University of Athens, Faculty of Letters. She would stay and live in Greece, but as my plans included long travels and faraway movements, I was avid to learn more from her about the region, because she had already traveled much there; she used to go to Mogadishu and she preferred Somalia that she described in the best possible words (as a far more progressive country), whereas she offered dark pictures of Abyssinia as an incredibly backward and oppressive state. She was in Diredawa, in Djibouti, in Assab, and of course Lalibela, Axum and Gondar, but she used to always turn the discussion to Somalia and how pleasant everything was there.

But Maria, that Greek Abyssinian university mate, had never spoken to me about the “Gallas”! So, I did not say anything in Rodinson’s seminar, but forced myself to find out the response in the available bibliography. There I realized that Maria’s “Oromos” were Maxime Rodinson’s “Gallas”! So, next week, I started with the remark before the seminar started! I asked why they had called the Oromos “Gallas”, stating that their true name was “Oromo” and mentioning some of the books that I had read. We were at the moment of resuming our seats and Rodinson was about to open his mouth and respond, when the Amhara guy, Argaw Makonnen, answered first saying that the real name was “Galla”, that “Oromo” was a propaganda construction, and that the name was not attested in historical sources. He also added that the “Gallas” were ‘restless’ (!) -I still remember his word “agités”- and he ended like this: “in any case, we call them Gallas”.

The strange was not that he responded first (whereas I had asked Rodinson and not him) or that Rodinson did not add anything after that, thus showing that he accepted and ‘endorsed’ the response or that the issue had ended, but that Argaw Makonnen had spoken angrily for what I had asked, as if the topic had to be a matter of dispute and embarrassment. Of course, I immediately found the whole case as absolutely abnormal; I realized that there were many issues of which I had no idea as regards this topic; then, I remembered that few years earlier, in Athens, Maria had told me that many atrocities had taken place in Abyssinia in the recent past (the last 100 years) and I concluded that the entire issue necessitated a vast investigation from my side.

However, with me, you have to know that you deal with someone who primordially cares much about, and is fascinated with, the Antiquity. In fact, I always find Modern History (the last 500 years) as a less interesting topic. It took me therefore many years to really learn how bloody the formation of the Abyssinian colonial state truly was, and how many genocides took then place in Eastern Africa of which nobody ever spoke openly. My first encounter with the books of Bulatovich (in Russian) that I read in 1991 in Russia was shocking, because his narrative puts everything beyond any doubt. That’s why I popularized his book’s English translation back in 2010 by republishing it in parts and by adding introductory paragraphs as comments; I came up finally with no less than 29 articles that are republished here; this is their complete list: https://www.academia.edu/43645563/Links_to_my_articles_about_Official_Czarist_Russian_Envoy_Alexander_Bulatovichs_books_on_1890s_Abyssinia_and_his_expedition

And of course, as I understood many times in my life, one cannot truly learn in libraries, seminars, museums and universities, but … in situ! My meetings with exiled Oromos in Sudan, with Ogadeni and Afar refugees in Yemen, with illegally displaced Bertas in Sudan, and with many others, Amhara and Tigray included, helped me shape a clear understanding of the entire problem named ‘Ethiopia’.

XIII. Gregentius of Taphar, Prophet Muhammad, Christological Disputes, Jews, and today’s False Narratives about Early Islam

Beyond the aforementioned, I had another clash with Maxime Rodinson in 1980. It was about Gregentius’ Laws of the Himyarites, a text written few years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad by the Christian Orthodox bishop of Taphar (Zafar), the capital of the pre-Islamic Yemenite kingdom of Himyar. Bishop Gregentius was one of the most powerful spiritual heads of Christianity and he was dispatched from Alexandria to Axum only to be further sent to Yemen, after the victorious invasion undertaken by king Caleb of Axum, who had been asked by the Constantinopolitan kings to intervene in Yemen and dissolve the Christian Nestorian–Jewish Yemenite kingdom of Dhu Nu’was.

Dhamar Aliy Yahbur II, king of Himyar ca. 180 CE

In fact, at the time, there was a deep Christological dispute and division in Yemen (of which Najran is the northern part) with Nestorians being majoritarian in the South (Himyar) and Monophysites (like the Copts and the Axumite Abyssinians) being predominant in the North. The Jews sided of course with the Nestorians, and although the Constantinopolitan king was Orthodox, he had to side with the Monophysites, because the Nestorian-Jewish alliance anytime anywhere would promote anti-Roman, Sassanid Iranian interests.

This tormented period (the last 50 years preceding the birth of prophet Muhammad: 520-570 CE) is of the utmost importance for today’s Freemasons, Zionists and Jesuits, because it inevitably predetermines what truly happened in the early Islamic years – and which is totally unknown to the entire world nowadays (or, to put it otherwise, everything that we ‘know’ about that period is totally wrong as result of systematic and sophisticated misinterpretation).

This inconsistent map shows the main Ancient Yemenite kingdoms and the Axumite state of Abyssinia, but it covers different periods: Qataban ceased to exist at the end of the 2nd c. BCE. The Axumite invasion of Najran dates in the 6th c. CE; the Abyssinian occupation of Najran was precarious.

The events of this period (520-570 CE) are the best proof of who the true followers of prophet Muhammad were; the facts that took place at those days help us clearly identify who the hypocrites around prophet Muhammad were: all those who pretended to be friends, but were indeed vicious enemies. All the disputes, conflicts and ferocious polarizations of the first decades of Islam were due to them; but they have been hidden -down to our times- behind the mask of the follower or companion of prophet Muhammad. However, because all these terrible disputes, conflicts and polarizations did not start in 610-630 CE, but 150 years earlier (becoming apparent and frontal in both, the Council of Ephesus in 431 CE and the Council of Chalcedon in 451 CE), and were spread throughout the Red Sea in the early 6th c. CE, we can accurately and effectively track opinions, stances, considerations and positions over time and thus uncover the true face of several people around prophet Muhammad. In reality, the History of Islam starts with the 50-year period preceding prophet Muhammad’s birth. About:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Ephesus

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Chalcedon

All the other sources dating back to the early days of Islam are silent, when it comes to critical issues, or have been tempered with. The unspeakable realities of those days are something that today’s colonial academic elites want to keep concealing, as they have been systematically doing after they managed to confuse, disorient and mystify the modern, ignorant and pseudo-Muslim authorities of all the Muslim nations (I speak of the local religious, academic and governmental elites in their totality). That’s why they invented the nonsensical pseudo-theory of ‘literary topos’, a nonexistent concept, in order to deflate every concerted effort to reconstitute the past. Curtius’ nonsensical commonplaces simply do not exist; an element of Ancient Egyptian literature that looks similar to another of the Assyrian Babylonian literature is not truly comparable because within different context, it gets a totally different meaning, sense and place. Thanks to the paranoid pseudo-theory of ‘literary topos’, the Messiah and the Antichrist may be the … same person! It is absurd. About:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_topos

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Robert_Curtius

But we know very well that before 600 years, at the time of Timur (Tamerlane), things were not like that and there were true Muslims who knew what terrible plots had taken place around prophet Muhammad, being then carried out by those who hypocritically presented themselves as ‘friends’ and ‘companions’: Timur himself knew and Ibn Khaldun knew. The Early History of Islam needs to be rewritten from scratch, and those, who want to prevent this, are not today’s ignorant and idiotic Muslims, but the secretive elites of the colonial countries. This is so because today’s false Islam is so convenient for them: this is the hidden part of the evil and lethal iceberg that you know as ‘Anglo-Saxon – Saudi alliance’; but this is another issue.

After Caleb (named Ella Asbeha: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaleb_of_Axum in several sources) killed Dhu Nuwas, the Nestorian-Jewish state in Yemen was dissolved, and Gregentius imposed Orthodox Christianity in Taphar (Zafar) and in Najran as the local bishop. It is certain that he remained there longer than the Axxumite Abyssinian soldiers who apparently were forced out by the invading Sassanid Iranian armies that annexed (ca. 540) Yemen, turning it into an Iranian satrapy (province) like Oman (which had been Iranian for more than 1000 years at the time). It is quite interesting to note that, whereas the Yemenites, who were/are not Arab, rejoiced and accepted Christianity in the period 525-550 CE, the barbarian Arabs of the desert (the tribal pseudo-kingdom of Kinda) wept for the death of Dhu Nuwas: these were later the true supporters and allies of prophet Muhammad’s worst Meccan enemies.

XIV. Polarization with Maxime Rodinson about Gregentius of Taphar

All this is the background that Maxime Rodinson and I (and surely several others in the seminar) knew already quite well back in 1980. As far as I am concerned, I must clarify that at those days I knew the events of that period well, but I had not reached a pertinent interpretation or conclusion. But Maxime Rodinson wanted to deny facts, and that is why we clashed, as you will see below.

The major issue was however nothing of the above; what matters is not Gregentius of Taphar but his books. One of the books that he elaborated was “the Laws of the Himyarites” (who were named in Greek Homerites); this is known among Western scholars as Leges Homeritarum (in Latin translation). Maxime Rodinson spoke very contemptuously about it, but I had already read it, and I defended it greatly. The rest of the participants were astounded; none of them spoke. After a certain moment, I realized that Maxime Rodinson had not read the text itself, which is a great source of information about the Himyarites of Yemen and it does not contravene any data discovered in the corpus of the excavated and published pre-Islamic inscriptions in Himyarite language. I continued narrating the contents and Rodinson continued rejecting all the contents on the basis of modern bibliography (about this historical text) that he had ostensibly studied very well. But his persistence was bizarre; or at least it so appeared to me at the time.

Gregentius of Taphar in 12th c. wall painting from a monastery in Cyprus: named as ‘Gregory the archbishop of the Homerites’

In fact, it was as if there was an evil spirit that wanted to systematically discredit the Medieval Greek text, and to do this, it associated each and every part of the text to a posterior event that have some relation with a part of the contents. This would therefore hypothetically lead to the conclusion that the text was not written in the middle of the 6th c. CE but much later, eventually in the 10th c. (!!!!), by a monastic forger God only knows in what monastery of the Eastern Roman Empire.

The very interesting point is that the text was subsequently translated in many other languages, but there are several divergences between let’s say the original Greek text and the Slavonic or the Arabic translation. The frontal opposition with Maxime Rodinson lasted much time (more than 30 minutes) and not one person was able to prove the text of Gregentius wrong in anything. I must add that among the disciples and associates of Rodinson was Christian Robin, then young specialist of pre-Islamic Yemenite Literature and History (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Robin). He clearly had not read the Laws of the Himyarites at the time. About:

https://orthodoxwiki.org/Gregentios_of_Himyaritia

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Григорий_Омиритский

https://www.oca.org/saints/lives/2021/12/19/103592-saint-gregory-archbishop-of-omirits

The entry of Wikipedia is a most sophisticated forgery that I would need at least 30000 words to analytically refute; the same is true for the entry about Dhu Nuwas!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregentios

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhu_Nuwas

Who calls Gregentius …. “Bishop of Ethiopia”??? !!! Of course, the -disreputable and multiply denounced as Anti-Christian Zionist- head of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America! You can surely laugh with this rubbish:

https://www.goarch.org/chapel/saints?contentid=783

In Slavic hagiography: as Gregory Omiritski (the ‘Homerite’)

Of course, back in 1980, I was 24 and therefore still naïve and unable to discern why all this happened. I remained friendly predisposed to Maxime Rodinson, who used to invite us all to a restaurant for lunch not far from Sorbonne once per year. I even dedicated to him one of my books (published in Greek in 1994), I sent it to him and he thanked me. But by that time, I had already realized why this entire ordeal had happened about Gregentius.

The beginning of the Laws of the Himyarites from a Gaza manuscript

In another text, the great bishop (who died just few years before prophet Muhammad was born) described in great details his public debate with a Yemenite Jew, whom Gregentius was able to refute, lampoon and ridicule. In the debate, Gregentius demonstrated that the Biblical tradition did not stay anymore with the Jews, that they did not actually represent anything except a vicious negativity and an inhuman hatred, and that they had no right to claim anything as regards the Ancient Hebrew religion and the Old Testament. What today’s colonial pseudo-scholars of the Western bogus-universities hate most in this case is the fact that, in addition to his oratory skills, the bishop of Taphar performed in public majestic miracles of formidable spiritual potency, making all understand the Jewish deviate mind, venomous heart, spiritual impotency, faithless materialism, and utmost uselessness.

What did prophet Muhammad add to bishop Gregentius’ denunciation of the Jews few decades later? Nothing! He only reconfirmed that God rejected the Jews and that He deprived them of their earlier status of ‘chosen people’. The extraordinary identity of Gregentius’ and prophet Muhammad’s overwhelming rejection of the Jews fully demonstrates that in fact the religion of Gregentius was not what we call today ‘Christianity’, but what was called ‘Islam’ in the early decades of the 7th c. CE. This only corroborates Emperor Heraclius’ stance toward prophet Muhammad’s envoy, as narrated by Tabari and many others.

XV. Conclusion

I expanded much on this topic because I wanted to give you some examples of my activities and endeavors as a student and young researcher. One person’s early years predetermine his life, and I have been most happy for it being so. This cannot be seen easily through the lines of my articles, books and publications, but since you so much like me, I had to expand and offer a plain response. I don’t find it either important or rich or emphatic or bold or unapologetic or anything; I find it just mine. I never change and I permanently remain the person I have always been. Always very different from the rest; I have nothing in common with the others, all those whose life is an endless fear of dying.

Thank you for your interest to meet me and for your kindness to invite me to Occupied Oromia! My dear, I am afraid that instead of helping you, I will harm you! I would never like to cause you problems with the government. They know me very well. Any type of academic or personal association with me can be detrimental for you; they may easily accuse you of speaking with the enemies of the state and the government. Personally, I would be ready to come to Oromia anytime. I don’t mind dying for Oromia; I will not be the first and I will not be the last. Dying for a noble cause is the best manner to transcend this false world and enter in the real world whom none can ever forge. But I real worry for you, if the local authorities come to know your relationship with me.

Best regards and many thanks!

Nagayaatti!

Cosmic Order & Non-being: Franz Bardon, Modern Spirituality’s Erratic Sources, Will, Self-Cognition & Faith

2 Replies

The present article is the slightly revised version of a letter that I sent to a spiritual disciple a few years ago. It contains my response to few questions about Franz Bardon’s definition of Will in his Questions & Answers. Franz Bardon (1909-1958) was a leading European Spiritualist and Mystic of the 20th c. I add few scanned pages of this book for reference (Merkur Publishing Inc., USA 1998). It goes without saying that, despite my different approach to several topics discussed in this book, I strongly recommend it to the interested reader with a background in Divine Studies and Spirituality.

Basically, I divided the text of my response into eleven units and, to facilitate the reader, I presented a Table of Contents in the beginning. The titles of the units are in block letters, whereas my disciple’s brief letter and several quotes are in italics.

I. THE THREE LEVELS OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

II. THE THREE PARTS OF THE HUMAN BEING

III. BIPOLARITY AS THE NATURAL CONDITION OF HUMAN CHARACTER

IV. 4TH – 3RD MILLENNIUM BCE ORIENT (MESOPOTAMIA & EGYPT): THE UNIQUE SOURCE OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION AND THE PEAK OF HUMAN SPIRITUALITY & INTELLECT

I was waiting them; in addition, congratulations for your ceaseless efforts to improve your spiritual status!

I. THE THREE LEVELS OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

As regards Franz Bardon philosophy’s introductory book, I am glad that you stopped on the first page (actually p. 13, which is the main text’s first page) and more specifically in the first two paragraphs.

I will first briefly answer your questions and then expand. So, the main part of my mail will be after the end of yours.

Dear Prof. Shamsaddin,

I hope you are doing well.

I am reading Franz Bardon’s book.

Whilst making notes of Franz Bardon’s book, I am very aware that I cannot absorb these ideas without further explanation so they make sense.

Please could you clarify the below points:

1. Will

A. What is the connection between the will and a wish?

1 COVER & BACK COVER.jpg

God created the spiritual and the material worlds, which means that not even the spiritual world in its entirety is / can be eternal.

The spiritual world is distinguished by humans in three levels:

– the ‘astral’ level (this term, preferred by New Age ideologists and propagandists, is biased and unjustified to some extent and it truly corresponds to the) lower spiritual level

– the middle spiritual level

– the upper spiritual level

The above distinction may be unclear to you; so, I will now try it make it somewhat understandable.

The upper spiritual level is the end of all pure and righteous souls that will merge with God after the Final Judgment (so, not at the End of Times / Al Yom al Ahar, but at the End of the World / Al Yom al Qiyamah). Angels and other top spiritual hierarchies are exclusively part of this sphere which, as you can imagine, includes many layers of importance and involves many stages of the Creation. The epicenter of this sphere is Allah who is also manifested in all stages and levels of Creation as well. This part of soul is not easily accessible to humans; one must eliminate totally his materialistic ego to possibly activate one’s connection with the upper part of one’s soul. Few manage to achieve this while being in this material life.

The middle spiritual level encompasses the human souls and many exclusively spiritual hierarchies. The middle level of one’s soul is possible for a human to access after long and systematic spiritual exercise, focus, and elimination of thoughts, feelings, desires, and other material concerns.

Fully energizing one’s connection with this level of soul offers a person the ability to act as per the scope of the Creation and empowers the person with capacities that are thought to be absolutely impossible by today’s miserably materialistic (and therefore unbelieving) people. One can

– walk in the air, in the surface or in the depth of the sea,

– go (with the material body) through walls, mountains and rocks,

– transport one’s body at a speed as high as that of the light,

– take different forms (that of a lion, a mosquito, a tree or an object),

– accumulate instantly the knowledge contained within millions of books,

– be present in a place without being visible to those who are there,

– incite fear and respect to the wildest animals that will run away upon seeing the person,

– move to different moments of the time (and thus see and hear historically known or unknown persons),

– understand-speak-read-write earlier unknown (to that person) languages, – stand without a problem in front of a shooting gun (and magnetize the bullet so that it falls down before hitting the person or make it pass through the body without having any effect) or canon,

– make a military aircraft fall,

– survive in the middle of any explosion (nuclear included), and so on.

Such person can

– emit light from the body or illuminate it from within,

– transfer part of his power to others, and

– perform other actions that today’s unbelievers stupidly consider as ‘miracles’.

The lower spiritual level contains the lower part of the human souls and many other exclusively categories of spiritual beings. When it comes to the human soul’s lower spiritual level (which is mistakenly called ‘astral’), this revolves around the possibility that many people have to move to other locations with their lower spiritual body (‘astral voyages’), which has only the form and the appearance of their material body, although being purely spiritual. Through use of this lower spiritual body, people can appear to others as ghosts, visit them in their dreams, speak to them as if they were next to them and without anybody else hearing, influence others’ opinion, guide them or mislead them without the others’ understanding, prevent a bad occurrence, and so on.

After the death of the material body, the lower spiritual (astral) body gets decomposed into the five elements and it then disappears, leaving the soul (middle and upper levels) totally disconnected from the material world. I can expand much on this, but this is not the correct moment.

Bear only in mind that the soul’s middle level is also composed of the five elements, but the soul’s upper level is exclusively composed of ether, the primordial ‘substance’ or ‘dimension’, which is what people in the Late Antiquity used to call ‘quintessence’, i.e. the primary ‘substance’ or ‘dimension’ of Allah.

Ether is what Allah is ‘made of’ (if we can make this aphorism!), and through Ether, Allah is present everywhere, because Ether is present everywhere in all beings, spiritual and material; this does not mean that Ether is not part of the Creation. Ether is the very beginning of the Creation. But I am digressing.

II. THE THREE PARTS OF THE HUMAN BEING

While in life, every human being is said to be composed of his soul, body and character; in fact, what is called ‘character’ is the most commonly visible manifestation of the astral body at the material.

The body is situated at the material level; it is activated by the character / astral body.

There are three main sectors of human character: the intellect & the senses, the feelings, and the desires. The connection between the astral and the material bodies occurs by the means of bodily organs and the nerve network (nervous system): the brain (mind-intellect-senses), the heart (feelings), and the abdominal cavity (desires).

Every soul’s (and therefore person’s) individuality guarantees – as per above – a different perception, a different standpoint, a different set of thoughts, a different array of feelings, and a different range of desires.

So, to come to your initial question (“the connection between the will and a wish), I have to say that the will is an expression of the intellect (mind / brain) whereas the wish is an expression of either the feelings or the desires of the person.

Many people confuse their wishes with their will. Sometimes, defective education, poor culture, and lack of self-knowledge are the reasons for this confusion (so they are personal, not social).

I wish to become a lawyer.

I wish to help my father.

I wish to eat this cake.

All three ‘wishes’, expressed by the same person, are not identical to one another; they differ not only in terms of action involved (as described by the three verbs) or object concerned (as defined by the three nouns) but mainly in relation to their nature.

In the first case, you have the expression of the intellect / and of a will.

In the second case, you have the expression of a feeling.

In the third case, you have the expression of a desire.

Many confused people take the ‘will’ as a ‘wish’ and vice versa. Confused people customarily fail to see the difference between will and wish.

III. BIPOLARITY AS THE NATURAL CONDITION OF HUMAN CHARACTER

Even worse, confused people consider their will, their feeling, and their desire as ‘normal’ and ‘rightful’; this is anyone’s guess! It can be normal and rightful, but it can also be quite the opposite.

Only critical thinking is the process that can eventually lead to the correct evaluation of a case in this regard; but critical thinking presupposes always another function of the human being, a function of the utmost importance.

Who are the confused people?

Mainly those for whom one can say “there is much unsaid within them”.

Theirs is a catastrophic way of life; it is a form of oppression or, to put it correctly, self-oppression. No one lives a proper human life, if one leaves much unsaid within oneself.

No one can deal with any situation properly without speaking within oneself about it and in truth, which automatically means a bipolar form of being or an interpolation. Ignoring, neglecting or disregarding the truth inside oneself is the reason of many wrong and disastrous reactions, grave sins, and overall failure in life.

Self-oppression is always evil; by this, I don’t mean that, as soon as one girl feels a sexual attraction to another girl (or boy to boy), the girl (or the boy) must ‘avoid self-oppression’ and satisfy the abominable desire (which is what all the evil-minded persons in the West and worldwide ‘advise’).

Quite contrarily, they must accept it as a ‘reality’ at the personal level, and truthfully speak to their inner self, asking why this desire appeared. Then, starts the bipolar conversation inside that person, and the person gets engaged in the true battle of the life.

Otherwise, trying to deny the reality of the desire leads to self-oppression, and this will generate extremely negative results on the character of the person. Without eventually satisfying the abnormal desire, the self-oppressed person will become a negative pole in the society, because of the inevitable, terrible and lifelong consequences of the self-inflicted oppression (the fact of leaving much unsaid with oneself).

B. What is the aspect of the will as you previously suggested it is not the fire element as suggested by Franz Bardon.

Here, you refer to unit 1 of Bardon’s text. Re-read that unit now in the light of the above, and you will see how great the distance between Bardon and my approach is.

IV. 4TH – 3RD MILLENNIUM BCE ORIENT (MESOPOTAMIA & EGYPT): THE UNIQUE SOURCE OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION AND THE PEAK OF HUMAN SPIRITUALITY & INTELLECT

The basic mistake that follows Bardon across his lengthy books and treatises is the disregard of the primordial element, the Ether. However, I must admit that he accepts its existence (whereas most of the Freemasons, and all of the Jesuits and the Zionists do not), but he does it in a rather odd manner that excludes Ether from the reality of most circumstances that occur on the material levels, which is indeed incredible.

His approach is that out of Ether emanated four elements (water, air, earth, and fire – which is wrong) and that everything in the material world is appended to the said four elements, because Ether exists in all four elements but not independently – which is an outrage and a blasphemy (it is tantamount to excluding God from the Universe!).

The reason for this misperception is that Bardon’s sources were very narrow and limited; it is the same with many spiritualists and mystics of his days (20th c.), with all the modern philosophers (15th-20th c.), and with modern sheikhs and imams of Islam, Christian theologians, Jewish rabbis, Hindu, Buddhist and other priests. The problem is as simple as that:

For what parts of Human Spiritual, Religious and Intellectual Heritage have been excavated, deciphered, known, studied, interpreted, accurately perceived and eventually understood today, the theoretical basis of all the aforementioned categories of thinkers and mystics is minimal.

None of them studied Ancient Sumerian, Akkadian – Assyrian-Babylonian, Egyptian, Elamite, Hittite, Hurrian divine literature, holy books, religious texts, which constitute the source of all later civilizations, cultures, divine studies (: spiritual sciences), mysticisms – esoterisms, cosmogonies, wisdoms, religions, traditions, literatures, sciences, arts, and philosophies.

This is something that few realize and even fewer are ready to accept, because it destroys fake faiths and vicious agendas altogether.

Without Ancient Sumerian, Akkadian – Assyrian-Babylonian, Egyptian, Elamite, Hittite, and Hurrian civilizations, there would not be Flood, there would not be Noah, there would not be Hebrews, Israelites and Jews, there would not be Exodus from Egypt and Moses, there would not be any ancient state called ‘Israel’ with David and Solomon as kings, there would not be prophets, there would not be Jesus, there would not be Christianity, there would not be Muhammad, and there would not be Islam.

All other posterior civilizations, nations, religions, and historical persons existed thanks to some of the aforementioned. Every antecedent civilization, nation, religion, historical person or historical stage predetermined to large extent the posterior. It is therefore totally impossible to understand the posterior without duly studying the earlier.

Contrarily to the nonsensical speeches and texts of the ignorant sheikhs – imams and of the fake academia of today’s decayed, worthless and useless Muslim World, it is not the Holy Quran that reconfirms Ancient Egyptian and Assyrian-Babylonian sources, but exactly the opposite.

So, later the source of study and the point of reference of one modern thinker, intellectual or mystic is, less credible his base of spiritual doctrine becomes.

Franz Bardon belongs to a generation that idealized Classical and Late Antiquity, despised Christianity and Islam, and ignored the Ancient Orient. The most detrimental trait of their vision and contributions is of course related to their ignorance of the Ancient Orient. The reason for this is that either in the Classical and the Late Antiquity or within Christianity and Islam (all referred to as possible sources of contemporary thinkers and mystics), the true originality of the Mankind (which can also be described as the diachronic peak of human spirituality and intellect in 4th-3rd millennium BCE Orient) had already been lost. For this to understand, you have to view Human History as a series of falls and deteriorated decadence which are predestined to stop and be reversed at the End of Tine.

Ancient Sumerian, Assyrian-Babylonian, and Egyptian Cosmogonies and other holy texts represent in this regard the most authoritative source about the Creation; some of these texts deal with topics not mentioned and not discussed at all in later holy texts, the Quran included. These antediluvian texts give a very different perception of the World and of the Creation than what can be found in the later Oriental, Persian, Greek, Roman and Indian sources to which Bardon and modern thinkers, mystics and intellectuals used to refer to.

What came to me as a very striking discovery is that these Ancient Oriental texts overwhelmingly demonstrate the veracity of several key excerpts of the Quran (and this fact was actually the main reason for which I became Muslim).

This very fact did indeed shed also light to my long lasted question why the Western Orientalists prevented Muslims from having access to the then newly deciphered Egyptian and Assyrian-Babylonian (in the 19th c.) and Sumerian and Hittite (beginning of the 20th c.) texts.

In reality, they did not want them to be part of the discovery and they did not want to allow them the opportunity to grasp the true meaning of those texts that they later misinterpreted to Western and worldwide readers. At the same time, they strongly pushed Muslims and, in general, all the Oriental and African nations to disregard these discoveries, writings, literatures, holy texts, and historical – religious sources forever and to focus on their later and local stuff (Islamic, Hindu, Confucian and Buddhist), when the supreme essence of human spirituality and intellect and the true meaning of all words had already been lost (in the Classical and the Late Antiquity as well as in Christian and Islamic times).

V. CREATION IS EMANATION

No one can ever grasp any portion of the meaning of the Creation, if one fails to understand the reality of the processes of the Emanation. Emanation can be spiritual or material.

This means automatically that the universes (spiritual and material) were not created “ab ovo”, and that the so-called ‘Big Bang’ theory is Satanic.

Everything originates from Ether; then, the Soft Waters were separated from the Salt Waters. The process led to the emanation of the Air. Last to emanate was the Earth – as element of the spiritual world.

Similarly, the material universe was created in a manner totally opposite to all modern nonsensical theories expressed on this topic; in fact, there are no solar systems and there are no galaxies. All these fantasies are indeed parts of the deception that the world-ruling Satanic powers have gradually, methodically and tyrannically imposed during the last five centuries. The epitome of Satanism in today’s world is the heliocentric dogma which is an entire falsehood and which is – quite tragically and surely terminally for today’s Islam – accepted as ‘true’ by almost all Muslim ‘scholars’, ‘sheikhs’, ‘imams’, etc.

All human civilizations from the earlier Oriental cultures to Islam accepted the geocentric truth. Starting in the 15th c., the diffusion of the heliocentric (or Copernican) deception ushered the world into the final decadence that leads to the End of Times.

VI. WHAT IS WILL, AND FROM WHAT ELEMENT IT DERIVES

So, to answer your question about the element (not ‘aspect’) of which the Will depends, I have to say that this is the Ether. But …………..

This is NOT the ‘will’ that you know!

The will that you know is the will of your intellect, of your mind.

Do never confuse the mind or the intellect with the soul!

The mind, the intellect and the thought, pretty much like the feelings and the desires are material functions. Lenin was very right saying that the thought is the supreme function of the material world.

The soul does not think. The Angels do not think. The demons do not think. All the hierarchies of the spiritual beings do not think. Thought is a very low, purely materialistic, ability. Same with the material endeavor that is called ‘knowledge’. After the astral (lower spiritual) body is decomposed into its elements, all this ‘knowledge’ is dissolved.

Assuming that one soul can come to life in another body (a process which is very rare but possible), this happens without the soul ‘bringing’ along the previously accumulated, material knowledge and thoughts.

Is there any will in a soul? Yes! But the spiritual Will is very, very different from the material ‘will’ of the mind /the intellect. Its difference is very essential, because it emanates from the soul’s self-cognition as an independent entity with a fully assessed identity in total incorporation within the spiritual universe. This means that there is no ‘ego’ in a human soul; ‘ego’ was developed only in negative spiritual hierarchies, the demons, etc. – purely to their destruction.

But a human mind’s will is a manifestation of the intellect’s self-cognition as independent entity without a truly assessed identity and in total disconnection from the spiritual universe. This is in fact the result of the Fall (or – if you want – of the many, successive falls) of the Mankind. The human mind, contrarily to the human soul, develops an ‘ego’, although the Man was not created for this perspective. It is an unnecessary development of catastrophic consequences. The only possible salvation for every human is therefore the total elimination of the ‘ego’; this is otherwise called as ‘return of a human to his/her own soul’.

So, if the spiritual (middle – upper level) Will originates from / depends on Ether, the lower spiritual (astral) – material will originates from / depends on the Salt Waters.

VII. OCEAN (SOFT WATERS) & SEA (SALT WATERS) – FIRE IS NOT AN ORIGINAL ELEMENT

What Bardon and others, since the days of the Late Antiquity, call ‘Fire’ is not an original element, but a later emanation of one of them. It emanated from the Salt Waters.

If the terms Soft Waters and Salt Waters appear clear, succinct and meaningful to you (and for this purpose I use them), you have to know that in ancient literatures they were not used like this.

Today, you and the rest of the world confuse two terms that were used in the past within the context of a striking contradiction: Ocean and Sea.

You think that the same type of water is called ‘sea’ in rather ‘closed’ basins (Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, Black Sea, Baltic Sea, North Sea) and ‘ocean’ in ‘open’, inter-continental spaces (Indian, Atlantic, Pacific, etc).

If one examines the situation today, one will agree that the type of water contained in either a sea or in an ocean is the same. However, this did not happen in the past, and when I say ‘past’, I mean before the Flood. The disasters caused at that time ended up with the formation of the present, abnormal situation.

You have therefore to consider the present world as ‘abnormal’ also in this issue.

The idiotic, Satanic sheikhs of today’s fake Islam know nothing of all this, because

1. their reading of the Quran is false, fake, worthless, useless to them, and most-offensive to God

2. their overwhelming darkness and total ignorance of the Islamic Times’ Spirituality, Transcendental Wisdom, Astrology – Astronomy, Alchemy, Magic, Mysticism and Royal Art irreversibly places them out of Islam (because their claims are all fake) and

3. their ignorance of earlier Oriental sources is total, and this condition disables spiritually everyone, preventing him from speaking truthfully about Islam.

This is so because first, the true Islam is the Code of the Creation; second, Islam antedates the Creation of the Man; third, Islam was therefore continuously present among pre-Islamic nations, cultures and civilizations, and fourth, simple reason suffices to make anyone understand that the earlier eventually influences the later, and so there is at least the need for every Muslim to crosscheck and identify the roots of Islamic Spirituality, Transcendental Wisdom, Sciences, Literature, Philosophy and Art within the context of the Ancient Oriental Civilizations (mainly Mesopotamia and Egypt, but also Anatolia, Canaan, Iran and Central Asia).

But among ancient civilizations (and there is a vast documentation on this topic), there was a very big difference between the words ‘Sea’ (which meant ‘Salt Waters’) – Tiamat and ‘Ocean’ (which meant ‘Soft Water’) – Apsu (the two terms are Assyrian – Babylonian). Sea and Ocean were then very clearly understood as the exact opposites. However, even this was lost in later periods of History and lower stages of human intellect, notably the Ancient Greek and Roman times.

All major civilizations considered that, around the Earth (thought to be composed of one sizeable unit of landmass), ran an enormous circular current, which they called Ocean. They described it as exclusively composed of Soft Waters that did not intermingle with the Salt Waters of the coastal seas and basins (such as the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the North Sea, and so on). This was the antediluvian known Order of the Creation.

This idea was due to their superior knowledge of the Earth before the Flood, which was very different from the situation ensued after that terrible destruction. There were actually no proper continents, but one rather circular surface of Earth surrounded by the Ocean of Soft Waters.

In that immense aquatic body, there were also layers: the upper layer was composed of Soft Waters, and then progressively there were alternating layers of Salt and Soft Waters, with the lowest being that of Salt Waters. Because of this situation, before the Flood, the sky had a very different color and it looked like turquoise.

For this reason, the turquoise stone was considered as truly precious and exquisite by all highly civilized ancient nations, which were known for having immense temples that functioned as the Abode of the Sacred and served therefore as esoteric ateliers, religious edifices, academic schools, research centers, and libraries. In striking opposition to the later, ignorant and barbarian priesthoods of Greece and Rome, the Sumerian, Assyrian – Babylonian, Hurrian, Hittite and Egyptian temples accommodated altogether initiates and theurgists, erudite explorers and wise scientists, hierophants and sophisticated sacerdotal hierarchies that reflected the supreme level of spiritual dominance and material authority that they had attained and which is unknown and even impossible to the present world.

As per above Unit V, all original Cosmogonies stipulate that the really first act of Creation is the separation of the Soft Waters from Salt Waters. This point relates to the transition from ‘Non Being’ into ‘Being’. This is a vast subject that is almost not dealt with within later and lower Cosmogonies (Hebrew, Greek, Roman, Christian or Islamic), but it is extensively described and discussed within the corpuses of Assyrian-Babylonian and Egyptian literatures.

If I expand on these topics, it is due to the fact that no one can ever understand the nature and the substance of the five elements as well as the real meaning of the Creation without realizing some key points related to these issues.

The pre-cosmic separation of the Soft Waters from the Salt Waters could not have been effectuated without the commanding order and authority of Ether. But this already reveals much about the pre-Creation situation and the ‘chaos’ that is always said to have been prevailing then. In addition, it has – for us – a revelatory information of the utmost importance.

It makes us understand that the nature of the Creation is such that God can make the entire universe totally collapse, disintegrate and disappear in just one second. Of course, ignorant sheikhs and priests can also say this. But they cannot say how! If asked, they will reply that God is omnipotent, which is also true and useless at the same time, because in and by itself it does not explain anything.

However, God can truly make the entire universe disappear in a second, because the universe was created in a manner enabling this. The manner you already know: separation of the Soft from the Salt Waters – even before the creation of Light. Light is an emanation of Ether.

VIII. FIAT LUX! LIGHT IS AN EMANATION OF ETHER, NOT FIRE!

At this point, I must also add that it is extremely idiotic to attribute Light to Fire as Franz Bardon and many other modern spiritual theoreticians, mystics, and philosophers suggest, being influenced by their mistaken readings of Zoroastrianism and various Gnosticisms.

If Light had been due to / emanated from Fire, the entire universe would have been filled with smoke, we would not have been able to see anything, and an overwhelming darkness would have prevailed all over.

Believing that Fire can create Light is an oxymoron; it is tantamount to thinking that demons can perform Angelic deeds. And there is worse! In fact, if you are in a totally dark room and you set a match, what you will be able to see is a mere resemblance of Light; in reality, this a counterfeit light or, if you want, a negative reflection of Light.

This topic is truly vast, and it is for this reason that I totally oppose the seemingly innocent idea of meditating in front of a candle; this can only bring calamitous results that the victimized performers fail to assess.

IX. NON-BEING AS PART OF THE CREATION, SATAN & THE ANTICHRIST

The separation of the Soft Waters from the Salt Waters, as part of the Creation, means automatically that the ‘Non Being’ is also part of the Creation.

Following extensive analysis of Assyrian-Babylonian and Egyptian sacred texts relating to the topic, and reconfirming my early conclusions with spiritual experiments, I have every reason to believe and accept that Salt Waters represent actually the dimension of Non Being within the Order of the Creation, being actually a component of the spiritual and material universes.

The separation of the Soft from the Salt Waters is the way Ether helped purify the pre-cosmic Soft Waters and then utilized them as the foremost element of the Creation.

With the emanation of the Air and the Earth, the order of the Creation was finally complete.

At this point, I can repeat – so that you understand better -three lines that I first included as per above Unit VI:

So, if the spiritual (middle – upper level) Will originates from / depends on Ether, the lower spiritual (astral) – material will originates from / depends on the Salt Waters.

It becomes now automatically understood: without prior elimination of the ‘ego’, involving the material & astral mind and/or character, every human being is driven to non-existence (Non-being).

Never forget that non-existence (Non-being) is not the Hell (which is an existing part of the spiritual universe), but something far worse!

Jesus, attacking his times’ Jews, and more particularly the Scribes and the evil Pharisees (the Jewish priests), revealed much on the topic – for those who truly understand through the lines and have access to the original sources. Jesus said (Gospel of John, 8:39-45):

“They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not”.

In fact, Jesus denied (8:39) that the Jews of his times were the descendants of the Hebrews (: Abraham) and he accused them of being the offspring of the father of Satan (8:44). The modern English translations are – all – deliberately false at this point. The wording is wrong: “ Ye are of your father the devil“. The Latin translation (Vulgata) is very correct: “vos ex patre diabolo estis” (: you are from the Father of the Devil). And so it is in the original Ancient Greek text: “ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐ***στέ*” (: you are from the Father of the Devil).**

Jesus’ accusations reveal that the origin of Satan is indeed pre-cosmic and that he emanates from the Non-being (Salt Waters) part of the Creation; this shows that, literally speaking, God did not ‘create’ Satan, but the emanation of the Negativity was a predestination inherent to the Creation. This gives full reason to the Creation of Man by God with the destiny to exterminate Satan and his demons and to generate a new universal order with the Sea eliminated (or ‘imprisoned’ or ‘contained’). This justifies also the numerous eschatological traditions that portray the End Times’ Antichrist (Masih al Dajjal) coming out of the Sea (as it was first said in the Hittite Apocalyptic Epic Ullikummi and then repeated in John’s Revelation).

But I am digressing. Here I think that with the above I completed my answer.

C. What is the right power needed to make the wish manifest?

I guess you mean the will here.

X. ONE’S TRUE SELF, WILL AND SUBCONSCIOUS

Of course, there is Will and will – as I already said.

There are different prerequisites for each.

For a materialistic person and a wrong mystic / spiritualist, there are several ways to achieve the materialization of a will or feeling or desire or ‘wish’ – as per each different case.

For a person relying on God, ‘making one’s will or wish manifest’ cannot possibly be a priority. Discovering one’s soul, encountering one’s inner and true being, operating one’s own electromagnetic fields, and commanding one’s own electromagnetic fluids are the priority. Self-cognition must precede any formation of will. If you don’t know who you are, you cannot possibly want – and if you do, in reality you execute someone else’s will that managed to penetrate and inhabit your subconscious (that you don’t control).

Only when a person (character) meets one’s own true being (one’s own soul) – with which today’s society, modern education, and in general, the fallen world (in which we live) totally prevented the person from being connected -, can the person (character) at last understand the purpose of coming into the material world and the scope of work that is asked from that person to carry out. Then, unity with one’s true self is guaranteed.

To go back to the materialistic persons and the wrong mystics / spiritualists of the modern world, I must admit that their mistakes lead them inevitably to disaster. They thought that they materialized their will and that they made their wish manifest, but this was only a deception.

In reality they didn’t materialize their own will and they didn’t make their own wish manifest, but theirs was the will and the wish of one demon (or more) who found its way to the subconscious of that person.

The subconscious part of the mind is a material-astral dimension of every person that must be always kept as it is at the moment the person is born: totally empty. This is another vast subject of its own, but already understanding that the subconscious must be kept empty and trying to act accordingly can help everyone mark a great advance in one’s life.

The subconscious represents the element of the Salt Waters in each person. As it is tantamount to Non-Being, it must be kept empty; every single reflection (or idol or image) stored there brings the person one step closer to Non-Being.

In the societies of the Fall, it is impossible not to add unnecessary stuff in one’s subconscious; this occurs already infancy and before the baby becomes a child (in the ‘toddler stage’). Then, these negative idols (or images or reflections) function like mirrors and attract a myriad of demons, who manipulate these images in a way to induce humans to improper and sinful deeds, and I guess you know the consequences and all the rest.

Thought control and elimination, mind self-control, feeling restriction, meditation, elimination of desires, abstention from materialistic concerns and pleasures (anything from food to sex to leisure) are some of the methods that help empty one’s subconscious.

It is as simple as that: without emptying your subconscious and without eliminating your ego, you cannot achieve self-cognition, and as long as you are far from self-cognition, you must not ‘want’ anything.

I could expand much on the different methods employed by persons (without empty subconscious) to materialize their own will and make their own wish manifest prior to achieving self-cognition. But it would be purposeless; it was always calamitous, and the entire world is about to be met with final annihilation due to precisely this nefarious and ominous situation.

XI. SELF-COGNITION, SPIRITUAL CONSCIOUSNESS, WILL, THINKING, BELIEF AND FAITH

D. Does the fact that this is the first paragraph mean that it is the most important? For example, belief is the second paragraph.

With this question, you reach a very critical point of considerations about the spiritual world. Yes, this is perhaps the first question one should ask, if one considers the form (and not the contents) of Bardon’s presentation.

Why speaking first about (or why defining first) one’s will, and not one’s belief?

This sort of questions / considerations are existential / fundamental. What comes first as manifestation of a person’s identity?

Here, you will face the multitude of modern philosophers (which means mainly Western, i.e. basically Anti-Christian, Freemasonic and Zionist) who specify that the basic expression of each and every material being is his/her/its will.

This is a fundamental aberration; it consists in one of the few major mistakes, due to which one loses forever the chance to return to mental normalcy. Many centuries ago, in the early 17th c., one of Europe’s most revered but most disastrous and most evil philosophers, Descartes (Cartesius), said in Latin the notorious sentence: “Cogito ergo sum”, which means lit. ‘I think, therefore I am’.

Descartes played a determinant role in Modern European Philosophy and there was not one modern philosopher who bypassed him; contrarily, all referred to him with veneration, and every single European thinker identified himself through a particular reference to Descartes.

Consequently, thought / thinking progressively became of primordial importance for post-16th century Europeans, whereas this was not so before. After Descartes, Belief and Faith started being viewed as less important activities, endeavors or expressions of the human being.

The fake self-identification of the modern Europeans was therefore based on Individual Thought (which is totally controlled by the Subconscious if this is not fully emptied), and this situation brought forth the Will of the fake humans who are deprived of self-cognition and identity.

It is all about how one human being is / can be self-defined.

This relates to what was called Gnosiology by the Ancient Greeks (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosiology).

Never confuse Gnosiology with Gnosis, the Gnostics, and the numerous religious-philosophical systems of the Late Antiquity that are called Gnosticisms!

Gnosiology (falsely called ‘Epistemology’ today) is indeed one of the five parts of Ancient Greek and Roman Philosophy:

– Metaphysics (concerning the Creation, the Cosmic Aeons, the Spiritual World, the Soul, the Spiritual Hierarchies, God, the Interconnection between the Spiritual and the Material Worlds, the Hereafter, the Destiny of the Man),

– Logic (exploring valid Reasoning and Argumentation),

– Ethics or Moral Philosophy (identifying what is an ethical, just and proper value),

– Esthetics (differentiating between the notions of Beauty and Ugliness), and

– Gnosiology (specifying what is and what is not Knowledge, how we know that we truly know, where the importance of Knowledge is placed, how we learn, what we can know, etc).

As a matter of fact, due to a) the rise of the modern philosophical systems and b) the formation of modern sciences, many major changes occurred leading to a dramatic transformation / alteration of the traditional function and operation of Philosophy after the 15th-16th c. in Western Europe. Newly diffused concepts (like the concepts of ‘usefulness’ and ‘profit’) deeply changed the nature of philosophical endeavor. For all ancient philosophers, ‘useful’ was equal to trash; it was vulgar, hideous and even barbaric; it was tantamount to worthless and valueless. This was very right indeed, because all types of possible ‘use’ cannot possibly have any real value. Everything one can buy has a price and a market worth; therefore it cannot – by definition – have any real value, and it does not represent any virtue.

Pretty much like modern, fake and ‘indirect’ democracy (which is a counterfeit system at the antipodes of the ancient, ‘direct’ democracy), the modern Western European ‘philosophers’ tried – in striking opposition with the philosophers of ancient times – to setup useful systems and to control modern thought, sciences, and the world of power (which they distorted, falsified and called politics – a nonexistent, fake term).

So, Gnosiology was then obliterated by modern academia and those ‘philosophers’, who replaced it with what is rather called today Cognitive Science (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_science). Similarly, the fake modern science of Psychology has nothing to do with the Soul (despite the first component of the term; ‘psyche’ meaning ‘soul’ in Ancient Greek). In fact, modern Cognitive Sciences have nothing to do with the processes of self-cognition as undertaken by the soul and the mind. As academic discipline, Cognitive Science is packed with preconceived ideas, farfetched innuendos, and a high amount of aberrations that help setup the troublesome and fake cognitive basis of the unfortunate and disoriented modern humans. This falsehood was actually spread worldwide due to academic, educational, intellectual and cultural colonialism.

Muslims have not been exempted in this regard, because, as I said, this system was imposed worldwide and without reaction; not even one Hindu, Buddhist, Eastern Christian, Confucian, Taoist or Muslim thinker, intellectual or mystic was left there to identify and denounce the preconceived schemes that were first elaborated and imposed in the West, and second diffused among the followers of the afore-mentioned religions, and of other faiths and cultures. Finally, this system forced the entire modern world to totally lose every connection with their past and identity.

So, for the modern world’s fake human being, the first element of self-identification is the Will, and this is translated to thoughts, feelings and desires.

This is the reason for which Franz Bardon starts with Will.

Certainly, this is all wrong, and more importantly, it is a terrible drawback for anyone who wants to start an effort to discover and connect with one’s own soul.

At this point, I repeat three statements already included in Unit VI so that you better assess their meaning thanks to what I presented in-between:

1) The mind, the intellect and the thought, pretty much like the feelings and the desires are material functions.

2) The soul does not think.

3) Is there any will in a soul? Yes! But the spiritual Will is very, very different from the material ‘will’ of the mind /the intellect. Its difference is very essential, because it emanates from the soul’s self-cognition as an independent entity with a fully assessed identity in total incorporation within the spiritual universe.

Due to these points, one can understand immediately that the spiritual beings have another manner of identifying themselves, and this manner is indeed very different from the expression of a human thought or the manifestation of a human will. What is valid for all spiritual beings also concerns the human souls.

As the creation of the material universe was a duplication of the creation of the spiritual universe, every human being must adapt to its soul and thus establish the correct concordances.

The premier identification of a created spiritual being or of a created soul is the manner of its connection with the Creator; this is different in each and every soul.

That’s why it would be a mistake to make a sentence like “the premier identification of a created spiritual being or of a created soul is its connection with the Creator”.

The correct definition refers to “the manner of” connection with the Creator as “the premier identification of any created being”.

What is the manner of a soul’s connection with the Creator?

This is called Faith.

Faith is something you don’t know, something most of today’s people don’t know, something that is largely irrelevant of the simple belief. For today’s people, belief and faith are almost identical notions and concepts. But this is wrong.

Look at how erroneous all modern followers of (the already distorted and therefore fake) religions are! Read the following four sentences:

A- Christians believe that God is manifested as Trinity.

B- Muslims believe that Muhammad was the Prophet of God.

C- Communists believe that human ignorance and sheer fear made humans believe in God.

D- Atheists believe that there is no God.

In all the above cases, you have in reality a superficial, meaningless, and worthless attachment to various narratives; all cases are the same and equally false. Because of this, many say – and they are right – that ‘communism is a religion’ and that ‘atheists have a God, either they accept this conclusion or not’, meaning that each atheist is characterized by a particular attachment to some thoughts and ideas – a situation which is similar and equivalent to a Christian’s attachment to a Christian narrative and to Muslim’s attachment to an Islamic narrative.

In fact, all these narratives have nothing to do with Faith. Faith is not this.

Look here at the extent to which ‘faith’ and ‘belief’ are confused in modern dictionaries:

1: a state or habit of mind in which trust or confidence is placed in some person or thing <her belief in God> <a belief in democracy> <I bought the table in the belief that it was an antique.> <contrary to popular belief>

2 : something that is accepted, considered to be true, or held as an opinion : something believed <an individual’s religious or political beliefs>; especially : a tenet or body of tenets held by a group <the beliefs of the Catholic Church>

3 : conviction of the truth of some statement or the reality of some being or phenomenon especially when based on examination of evidence <belief in the validity of scientific statements>

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/belief

and

1 a : allegiance to duty or a person : loyalty <lost faith in the company’s president> b (1) : fidelity to one’s promises (2) : sincerity of intentions <acted in good faith>

2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something for which there is no proof <clinging to the faith that her missing son would one day return> (2) : complete trust

3 : something that is believed especially with strong conviction; especially : a system of religious beliefs <the Protestant faith>

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/faith

You may have fast noticed that the two terms are practically speaking interchangeable.

Here you will find a better portrait of the currently reigning confusion among humans, and more importantly, among theologians:

As John Simpson and Nathan Ketsdever have stated, faith is not belief without evidence. Faith is merely the extent of belief. In other words, if your belief is so strong that it affects your actions and attitudes, it has become faith. If you have complete confidence in something or someone, you have faith. Faith is synonymous with the word, trust. Thus if someone is “faithful” then they are someone you can have faith in.

Thus blind faith is having completely confidence in someone or something without any reason to do so. It’s typically used pejoratively. Hardly anybody I know has a completely “blind faith” because even if their faith is based on shaky or faulty reasoning, they usually have some reason or some story to how they came to this faith.

For example if a child believes in Santa Claus so much that they have complete confidence in his existence or reality, they have faith. But is it really a blind faith? If you ask a child why they believe in Santa Claus, they might say that they believe in Santa Claus because their parents said he exists. At that point, it is no longer blind faith. They have SOME reasoning for this faith in Santa Claus, even if it is not the best reason. They trust their parents, who have their best interest at heart.

Now the term “blind faith” could alternatively mean, having faith in something which you cannot observe scientifically. I believe this is the way many atheists use the term. This use of the term however, is rhetorical abuse. It is essentially claiming that unless something can be observed in a rigorous scientific way, it is not reasoned and cannot be evidence. It is imposing an evidential foundationalist philosophical worldview. The fact of the matter is that human beings do not operate that way. If I have faith in the goodness of my parents to me, I have not subjected their goodness to rigorous scientific testing. Yet I have every reason to believe in their goodness and have faith in them. Rigorous scientific observation is not the only path to knowledge and the intellectually honest should reject any claim that it is.

Written by an Evangelical Christian, the above text is a high degree certificate of real, complete, and consummate disbelief. Confusing belief with faith is full proof of materialism; it automatically discredits whatever a person may declare as his/her own faith. The person that makes an equation between belief and faith knows no God, and if he/she says that he/she believes in God, he/she is a liar and a hypocrite.

Look at what Jesus said about Faith:

But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered. 19And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up.

Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass. 22 And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Gospel according to Matthew, ch. 21, v. 21-22

http://bibliaparalela.com/dbt/matthew/21.htm

This quotation is one of the excerpts that we find in the Christian Gospels about Jesus’ description of Faith.

Two other examples of Faith that Prophet Jesus gave to his disciples personally:

22 Then Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people away. 23 After sending the people away, he went up a hill by himself to pray. When evening came, Jesus was there alone; 24 and by this time the boat was far out in the lake, tossed about by the waves, because the wind was blowing against it. 25 Between three and six o’clock in the morning Jesus came to the disciples, walking on the water. 26 When they saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and screamed with fear. 27Jesus spoke to them at once. “Courage!” he said. “It is I. Don’t be afraid!” 28 Then Peter spoke up. “Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you.” 29 “Come!” answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus. 30 But when he noticed the strong wind, he was afraid and started to sink down in the water. “Save me, Lord!” he cried. 31 At once Jesus reached out and grabbed hold of him and said, “How little faith you have! Why did you doubt?” 32They both got into the boat, and the wind died down.

Gospel according to Matthew, ch. 14, v. 22-32

The two examples involve: a. walking on the surface of the lake waters, and b. stopping the wind.

Why did Peter started to sink?

Because of the so-called Law of Gravitation, which is a fake?

No!

But because he had ….. “little faith”.

Faith is the spiritual power which is founded on absolute, spiritual self-knowledge and self-identification acquired by means of instinctive perception of the soul’s connection with God. Every normal human can have faith, and those who have it can exercise full and infinite control of the matter and of the entire material world.

In the above excerpts, Jesus gives the example that by means of Faith one man can remove an entire mountain from its place and throw it into the sea, stop the wind, and walk on the surface of the water.

You may wish perhaps at this point to ask me about consciousness, and you may eventually pretend that before Faith, Belief, and Will, one should start discussing ontological matters by specifying consciousness as the cornerstone of each and every human and as the very beginning of every mental and spiritual activity.

Certainly, consciousness comes before will and before belief.

Before you expressed a desire to eat (when you were a few months old baby), you felt your personal need to eat, and this is a manifestation of consciousness.

Before you first heard of Islam (when you were a small child), you identified yourself as an independent being.

Consciousness is tantamount to self-cognition and self-identification, but at this level, we have to also make a clear distinction: there is mental-material consciousness and there is spiritual consciousness, and in most of the cases they differ greatly, because in today’s fallen world, humans are disconnected from their own spiritual self (i.e. their soul).

In every case, when a human is disconnected from his/her soul, his/her mental-material consciousness is false.

In our fallen world, the path of one person to re-encounter one’s soul and to enact one’s inherent spiritual powers is the definition of the person’s spirituality and religiosity. This can be achieved through many different narratives and several spiritual methods.

Useless to add that persons, who understand the immense power of the spiritual world, but fail in their personal path, sometimes make deals with evil spirits, demons, and other negative spiritual entities and – through the related initiation and subsequent exercise – they manage to achieve a certain spiritual power. However, this is conditioned on many terms and, in turn, it conditions the soul of these persons to spiritual slavery, permanent punishment (Hell) or even total extinction (elimination in the Non Being).

Contrarily to the false mental-material consciousness, spiritual consciousness is the true self-cognition (self-identification) of every person; this implies that in spiritual terms, Consciousness is Faith and Faith is Consciousness. They are identical to one another. Spiritual contact with God is one with the affirmation of a soul’s self-identification.

I have questions about the other paragraphs which I noted down but I do not understand the meaning or context of the first paragraph and would like to start from there.
