HISTORY OF THE END OF THE WORLD

RELIGIOUS WARFARE



All that see me, are attracted to me. All will miss me and mourn, when I am gone,the Master cited, while stretching his legs and holding his hands to the fire. It was quite dampy and wet in “the Library”, situated, on the wish of the Master, in the dungeons of the complex, who were hardly above sea-level.

I think you mean the sun.” Yvanka responded, “who is absent during the night. Only a vampire hates the sun. “Could be.”, the Master nodded. “But there are more intderpretations possible, that is the golden rule. A second interpretation focus' on the use of the word ME.

The statement could as well be a hymn to a God or Goddess, to illustrate the faculties and a feared disappearance.”

Yvanka and Roamy grabbed their notebooks. Being the only two present, it was essential to write down what he was saying, even though it was being recorded.

Both would take notes independently. The Master would use them to remember sessions like this. It was a technique called “Overshadowing”, when he made contact to the “Archaic Records” and other libraries. It resembled the Casey-technique of selfhypnosis. For the Master “overshadowing” was an educational tool. In a sort of trance, he, and other SiTU Masters, described distant worlds, strange artefacts, ancient Codexes, filosofies and religious dogma.

Starting with latter. Since the age of Jesus Christ religious wars were fought. The Jews fought the inhabitants of Galilea, Christian Constantinople fought Islamic “hordes”. The fight went on till the 15e century, when the city finally fell. The Templars fought a crusade against the Cathars, amongst other crusades in the East. The kingdom of Jerusalem fell and islam became the dominant factor. Jews and christians had to pay a special tax.

In that same periode the King and Queen of Spain, Roman-Catholic to the core, liberated the last Morish enclaves and deported the Spanish muslims to Marocco. The discovery of the America's let to genocide, with blessings of the church. Along comes the Reformation and the wars and slaughter between protestant and catholic citizens or countries and even coalitions. The second WW was a clash of ideology and religion. Jews, gypsies and homo-sexuals were non-humans and treated and extermined att will and on an industrial scale. Extremely important were the railways, they used for transport to the deathcamps.

It is 62 years ago, when it ended. But was not the “final war”, the war to make warfare impossible and not of this world.

It did not work.

Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and now Syria. Here the religious factor is essential. All against IS, islam. Christianity, Islam and Judaism, competing against eachother and fight and die for their

religious belief.

Nothing new under the sun.
