LATE AUTUMN 2008
TRAINED BY OUTRAGE.......
By Jocelyn
Braddell
Trained by outrage I read to day :Swedish admiral Jorgan
Ericsson told Polish daily Dziennik that Sweden, Finland
and Norway may create a joint "Scandinavian army"
to help with purchasing of high-tech military kit and
eliminate resource overlap.
Trained by outrage at the the desecration of the
archaeological heritage of Gabhra Valley, Tara, I have
continued reading the histories of Ireland and religions
- in order to reach an understanding of the Ancient and
the Christian Irish. I begin to reach moments of thought
and extrapolation
When Christianity began to make itself felt in Rome it
was actually not given any credence over any other
religious ideas. Infact as far on as the 4th. Century AD
the persistence of the Christians in the notion that they
were "right" and others "pagans, and
barbarians of whatever persuasion" wrong, really
irritated and annoyed the Roman Senators. Religion was a
personal matter for all at that time, and never a
political persuasion. In what short time did those facts
alter! In the Middle East only under the inheritance of
Mohammed did Islam finally become a perpetual (as it is
today) political force .Social control among the Arabs at
that time had an excellent "Creed" that was
expressed thus under the Caliphs who exerted control
under these three philosophical and practical guides
according to the fifth Caliph inpower, Muawiyah of the
Umayyad dynasty in Syria, as :
1. The hilm (helm, guide - forbearance) known only at the
moment of anger;
2. Courage - known only in war;
3. Brotherly love among all men - implicit only
when need prevailed.....
so cool, so modern a creed that
resembles a commonplace in our own time among the
citizens of the EU.
After the reign of Julian in Rome (Julian started a
religious reformation of the state, which was intended to
restore the lost strength of the Roman State. He
supported the restoration of Hellenic paganism as the
state religion . His laws tended to target wealthy and
educated Christians, and his aim was not to destroy
Christianity but to drive the religion out of "the
governing classes of the empire. Wikipedia) who was brought up as a Christian, there was a
pause. The military rule of Rome continued and personally
began to make its mark - the priority of the 4th Century
control. The pressures of the Norse from Russia, and
Denmark, who hated Christianity, spread military
domination in Europe, although the Norsemen would, as
they did in Ireland, eventually settle and trade. Heroes
suffered a loss of their status, it diminished as
Christian power grew, and was replaced by individuals who
submitted gradually, and then comprehensively throughout
France and Britain, to a papal control from Rome that
became more and more interested in power and profit as
time passed. We have now arrived at the penultimate of
that trajectory - Christianity is a failed religious
philosophy but the power of finance is at the apex of
social control.
During this historic financial trajectory we have
recorded the tension, the war-games of finance, the
secretive finances of the rich and the outrage and misery
of the poor. Education of life has adopted the cunning,
but not clever, resource of supplying every condition of
man with a polarised vision of existence. At the present
time, as finance on a global scale has been crippled by
the foolish hegemony of 3 nations, the Americans, the
Israelis and the British, we are actually almost back to
square one. Religion has become an individual personal
belief again, although the hegemonies of the preceding
religions are in conspiracies to regain their power.
Military power has evidently become in the perspective of
the majority of governments, world wide, as the only form
of social control worth developing.
Illustration of Cervantes story "The Poet who
thought he was made of Glass"
Thus I composed the following the aspect of a Conclusion
to the Curse of St RuAdan. An end to the Desecration of
Tara that was exerted by a clever ruse - drawing the King,
Diarmuid, into a conmtest of "curses" that the
Saints of Christianity had adopted from St.Patrick. The
Saint cunning and mindful of the "Three Whispers"
which assured control in ancient Arabic, and also the
Brehon Laws, was recognised by the Kings of Ireland in
the place of the Assemblies (Tara). So he challenged
Diarmuid to a contest of - the "Curse".
The secret Rampart of the Three
Whispers at Tara is between the Hall and the Heroes' Well
.
THE HELM OF THE CRAFT OF THE 21ST CENTURY
(“Hilm” such as “forbearence; tact;”)
There was a Saint
Unruly Adan
The red haired,
Churl, of a god
Unknown to himself;
And he uttered desolation
On the fruits of the sea,
The
air, the wind
And the perfect light
Of the Sun on Tara.
Because that churl
Adan
Knew of the helm
Of the Mu’yawya…
The three threads
Of
the soul’s advice,
The triskelion,
Ruadan's curse prevailed.
His cunning tongue
A hound, coursed -
Of courage,
Of brotherly love,
Of which Diarmuid,
King of Ireland,
Had every facility... but
Of
utter loss nevertheless
Without
Tolerance, forbearing,
A hand on the helm.
The
third whisper was required;
A courtesy
Omitted ; contempt
Desecrated by a Saint’s Curse.
It
seemed today - forever
Forever to prevail,
On the sacred Hill of Tara.
Indeed, time and enough...
But no longer?
We now discover
The sly loan
Adan, the red churl,
Took to his grave.
For if Diarmuid replied
Curse against Curse
As he did
His
hand forsook the triskelion.

The tripod - for stability on uneven ground.
The trident
The Ego, Id, Superego,
The three Fates
Liberté, égalité, fraternité
3,2,1, get, set, go
the tritone in music...
"On the surface there might appear to be no link
between Wagner's Gotterdammerung, West Side Story and the
theme tune to the Simpsons.
But all of them rely heavily on tritones, a musical
interval that spans three whole tones, like the
diminished fifth or augmented fourth. This interval, the
gap between two notes played in succession or
simultaneously, was branded Diabolus in Musica or the
Devil's Interval by medieval musicians. "
