Hermeneutics: Phantasmagoria and playing in French

Sometimes you can hear other languages and not know what they are. But: par le vous? dangereux? C’mon man. That’s French. I don’t even know why I know that. I just know I do.
———-

..a group of mama’s boys sitting around a table in a country foreign to them all, in a high class restaurant none could have afforded to eat at in their native lands ( “but over here it’s all toy money.”) ; each with a shaved face and their feet propped up toward each other in relaxed attitude of new soldiers who have never fired a shot or even had to duck. One isn’t kidding: his best honesty is that his people came from sex between the sun and a woman; another thinks his people are the only right rulers of mankind; another is a false Christian thinking how he’s going to evangelize the situation. They each have a glass of water in front of them. They are wearing the respective uniforms of their armed services of their native nation. None knows they must be born again. None know they are sons of Noah and Adam and as such are familia. None know of the wars over such things as cutting beards or propping up feet in public or that wars were actually fought hand to hand, face to face back in the day. Everything is at-a-distance in their day. Everything but sex, speech, hunger and thirst. None are aware they already know any such thing exists as non-creating speech.

There is the water.

It is not a question of thirst, but of how. What do the foreigners think of just reaching out and drinking because you are thirsty like you do back home? Perhaps they have weird and unheard of rituals that unless they do and others do with them they are offended and go freakin’ berserk ..worse than mama when she don’t get her way.

While they are pondering the imponderables of drinking water and quenching thirst Satan shoots them in the backs with a machine gun that has a device attached to sound like a civil defense siren: the same mechanical authority that said to them in days past, variously; “pull over”, “get out of the way”, “seek shelter” or “those you were waiting on for rescue are now here.”

What really happened?

Why?

—————————————————————

Hermeneutics ( if we went strictly by spell-it-as-it-sounds-phonetically-per-letter and tried to do that in reverse ( reading it as it sounds instead of trying to spell it/write it, since all alphabets exist to serve the spoken and not the other way around.. ) ) we might end up with “Her-men-you-tics”. Instead we say Her-men-oo-tics. It’s a strange world we live in when that word supposedly means: “Hermeneutics may be described as the development and study of theories of the interpretation and understanding of texts. In contemporary usage in religious studies, hermeneutics refers to the study of the interpretation of religious texts.” as if it were one big will-neutral widget that covered all written texts “because” there was only one speech or writing in all of total reality instead of two.

The subtext of lies is simply more lies.

Written French for no particular reason: “Le subtext des mensonges est simplement plus de mensonges”

“..plus de mensonges”.. “..le subtext”. Okay.

Le Subtext. That ought to be the name of French newspaper.

From wikipedia:

“Phantasmagoria , ( also fantasmagorie, fantasmagoria) was a precinema projection ghost show invented in France in the late 18th century, which gained popularity through most of Europe (especially England) throughout the 19th century.

A modified type of magic lantern was used to project images onto walls, smoke, or semi-transparent screens, frequently using rear projection. The projector was mobile, allowing the projected image to move on the screen, and multiple projecting devices allowed for quick switching of different images. Frightening images such as skeletons, demons, and ghosts were projected.”

Understand that many of those who did such things as their “professional calling” took pains to present what they were doing as technical innovation in order to differentiate it from the supernatural.

from the same article at wikipedia:

Many of the phantasmagoria showmen were a combination of scientists and magicians, many of them stressing that the effects that they produced, no matter how eerily convincing, were in fact the result of ingenious equipment and no small measure of skill, rather than any supernatural explanation. This even extended as far as the exhibitions at the Royal Polytechnic Institution demonstrating the “Pepper’s ghost” effect in the 1860s.

( The people who do that today seem to forget that when they say “smokescreen” that the screen onto which such things were projected by a light playing on it was the moving smoke and that smokescreen does not simply mean “to cover over with smoke” like tanks putting out smoke to cover their particular whereabouts on a one large generalized battlefield. The smoke WAS the screen and not a mere blinding device .. the smoke was more than just a blinding device to cover what was behind it ; it was used to present false reality as a moving picture on a floating/moving “meta-reality” ..that ALSO covered over the reality.)

The affection of honesty in the careful explanation of the technical aspects is camouflage that the effects are the same. One is supposedly more veracious than another to do evil based on its non-technical aspect and thus supernatural explanation. The technical aspect of the exact same effect is supposed to genuinely differentiate “what happened” AND negate the effects of it having been supernatural if it was “misunderstood” to have been so.

Similarly, if one supposedly does what one “wishes” in ‘free’ will, all is well. But if one is forced to the exact same thing with the exact same physical effects, suddenly evil is brought into focus as if anything has been genuinely differentiated in reality before God.

An example: feelings of fear and dread can be ‘induced’ invisibly by turning the air conditioner up and sending infrasound through the room. Then someone goes through and tells the people in that room what the technical aspects of that inducement was as if that explanation abrogated or did away with the feelings. That technical explanation is based on the lie that sound itself that cannot be heard but supposedly can be controlled by a ‘free’ willed entity is harmless and not supernatural; based on the lie that all sound is not a living organism introduced howsoever it can make itself be introduced but is instead a will-neutral widget, a plaything of the lie of free will and harmless expressly and solely because of its place inside the lie of free will. (!)

Yet the effects are the effects as any recovering role playing game junky will testify and those still playing will deny; as those who have escaped the cult will proclaim and those still in it will deny.

So the Rationalists always claim to be abrogating the effects of the supernatural by an explanation of holy things and that explanation itself is supposedly 1. a will-neutrality, 2. a backwards projected beam of will-neutrality supposedly negating the effects of all things non-will-neutral and 3. the evidence of other / future will-neutralities …and their job is explicitly to get money for finding more will neutral things and beams at all times.

That was true in the 1800’s too.

“”Who does not shudder? Whose heart does not bleed, when after observing this ( various demonstrations of the certainty of God in Jesus Christ when compared, in former pages, with the vain and ignorant pretensions at understanding the physical reality of history by pagan ‘historians’.. ) we venture to step foot into a Rationalist academy and see the professor’s chair occupied by a poor mortal, learned, miserable, a sinner, responsible yet handling God’s Word irreverently; when we follow him as he goes through this deplorable task before a body of youths, destined to be guides to a whole people — youths capable of doing so much good guided to the height of the faith and so much mischief if tutored in disrespect for those Scriptures they are one day to preach? With what peremptory decision do such men display the phantasmagoria of their hypotheses; they retrench, they add, they praise, they blame and pity the simplicity of which, reading the Bible as it was read by Jesus Christ, like Him clings to every syllable and never dreams of finding error in the Word of God! They pronounce on the intercalations and retrenchments that Holy Scripture must have undergone — intercalations and retrenchments never suspected by Jesus Christ; they lop off the chapters they do not understand and point out blunders, ill-sustained or ill-concluded reasoning, prejudices, imprudences, and instances of vulgar ignorance.

intercalate: to insert between or among existing elements or layers ( Satan: “What do you mean I’m faking something here? The smoke is real. So is the light!” )

French ..intercalez

Spanish .. intercale

Russian ..вставьте ( V-sta-v-te ) ( don’t fall for the obvious: Russian is much more than simply “they’ve got a B for V and P for R, and r for a g, etc.. even though it really isn’t another language. It’s just a different sound and alphabet for the same speech. One way of pronouncing it is just as good as another. Worthlessness doesn’t care how much you value a particular set of its vowels. God isn’t limited by any of them. God broke up that one speech of sin ( non-creating speech/anti-Christ ). He didn’t create any more.) That same speech has been sleeping with the Russians too. The French. There isn’t anybody that hasn’t had her. But she won’t be anybody’s in heaven because she won’t be in heaven at all.

—————————

Compare and contrast the laughter of one who has never smoked with one who has smoked all their lives to get the laughter of the Russians in the movie Training Day ( which would be a very good attention to detail. In the movie, we never actually SEE the Russians until the end ( and in the end, could THEY prove they ‘are’ Russians even as they do the violence the Russians were supposedly threatening? ) They are mentioned and inferred. The gravel in the laughter would mix well with the language spoken by the shooters in the end as eastern European men tend to be / are inveterate smokers. Smokers have that gravel in their laughter peculiar to the sick or to pleasure seekers in instances of seeing a certain type of their pleasure (arrogance at supposedly seeing an intimate detail of others.. as in the scene where Denzel is struggling to get to a gun in the trunk of the car and can’t because he is fighting the realization of his own death as he staggers, shot multiple times and doesn’t realize others see what he is doing as fighting death..) instead of consuming it orally.

Obadiah 1:12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor have opened wide thy mouth in the day of distress.

The turning of the head is sometimes not a sign of dis-repsect but of understanding.

—————————

And this doesn’t even get into small understandings given as stiff drinks to knock the edge off of one’s neighbor’s envy of oneself. (French: machine translation.. “pour alourdir l’envie d’one’ ; voisins de s contre se” . )

Given all of the above, who in their right mind –and in what speech — would say they understand God good enough to refute Him? Even understanding that somewhere right now a terrorist is practicing “Eyts O khy. O kAy. Et’s o-ky. O-Kay. Ey am vith po-leece.” That Satan has had thousands of years to perfect such pronunciation should not give pause to true Christians. But to fake ones… to pretenders.. You got no chance at all.

Matthew 11:25,26 At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes. Yea, Father, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
