"Pedophilia": Poem by Else Cederborg

 

 

What ideas, what knowledge
and then so young, not even four
she is a genius, knows who loves her
understands that some don't
and then she knows how to win them over

See how they succumb to her charm
also see them get quite bewildered
after all, she is a mini-woman
full of tricks she steps into focus
watch them see her as they see women

Being cute, loving attention, she is victimized
how could she know to shun Uncle Dave?
That this one, adoring her, wasn't on her side
she was a flirt, loving the world in innocence
but the little fairy changed into an untrusting furie

"Bonded" By A Camera

(Dreamstime-picture)

Several years ago someone told me a gruesome, but not all that uncommon tale, of a young woman who let herself get involved in a cyber affair with a bad man on the Net. I suppose they sort of seduced each other, and for a while they were very close indeed. However, over time he somehow got the upper hand over her because nobody had told her of the dangers of webcams. 

 

Her net-lover, being no better than he was, threatened to post his takes of her on YouTube when she decided to leave him for a more substantial lover in her neighborhood. Suddenly, what had been some kind of love and a lot of fun games turned bad, and she grew more and more afraid that he would revenge himself on her for leaving him and thus stop their cozy times. This revenge was nothing but what might be called "shame terrorism", which is something that has kept women in line for a very long time. In this case there was no money, but still she was made to feel like a prostitute, who "sold her body". 

It goes without saying that no matter how these proofs, whether on video or in writing, of "shameful activities" have come about, they are not for public use unless that has been agreed upon from the start. As we know, some people like this kind of publicity and seek it, even invites strangers to follow their activities on more or less public sites, but that wasn't the case with these two. Well, sadly enough, the woman let herself get blackmailed and hooked up with her former lover from fear of exposure. That's too bad, I really find that stupid, but I guess she sort of talked herself into the belief that although he had treated her so badly, she still loved him. Something I doubt very much, as it's very, very strange to one of my way of thinking. As it is, I can't judge her, only pity her as she seems caught in real life because she was caught on tape ....

"Keep those clothes on, you indecent creature!!!"

A more than brave man who is going to experience the reality of some fears being valid warnings: Don't do what you're afraid of ....

 

To be seen as one is, shouldn't be a big deal, but nudity holds a special problem. It's quite amazing that we body parts we share with others of our gender are considered more "us" than e.g. our face. In other cultures both face and body are kept hidden within layers of clothes, not only for the sake of the one they belong to, but for the presumed honor of the family. We shouldn't let us be deceived by the social rules about nudity or baring some parts of our body: They are not "natural", but man made, and may shift in time.

 

 

I find many/most of these regulatives annoying and even weird. They may be called "good manners" and be used against those who don't follow them. However, although most of them look silly, they are useful for those in power. Actually, i suspect that these rules are remnants of the old relationship between master and slave/servant. Weird that they are still around.

 

From hiding to exhibit, what was hidden within the clothes, but only this action may land one in jail. 

 

Well, to receive unwanted "dick pics" isn't my favorite surprise, so to say, but it's not the end of the world, although there seem to be some men who think they may terrorize a chosen woman this way. In a way men are not allowed the same kind of nudity as women, who (in Western societies) may strut along almost nude, e.g. in mini-bikinis. As it is, men may be scantily dressed, but somehow, that isn't seen as "revealing" or non-homoerotic sexy, only weird or as part of some body builder-stuff. This guy would fit into a gay magazine or a body builder newsletter, and I don't think anybody would see it as indecent, although I bet some would find it very inviting. 

 

 

Martinus, A Danish Prophet

Martinus Thomsen was born on the 11th of August 1890 as the natural son of a woman who never disclosed the name of his father. He grew up with his foster parents on a small farm, and never had any education except for elementary school.

As he did not have the financial funds to become a school teacher, which was his wish as a young man, he became a farm hand, a dairy worker, a steward, an office clerk, a postman, etc., etc. as chance would have it. He himself felt that all of these rather different kinds of jobs gave him insight into various areas of life - and that that was what life was about to him.

In 1921, when he was 31 years old, he had a vision, or an enlightening experience on an undisclosed day in the month of March. Some would call it a dream and others may see it as a hallucination, but to him, it was his cosmic baptism. The event was as follows: He was sitting alone, focusing on God, when all of a sudden he had what he himself called "a divine calling". Somehow special information was disclosed to him from somewhere: He was told to use his intuition to explain the cosmic truth which not even Jesus had been able to disclose to his fellow men, namely for the lack of scientific knowledge of his times.

Everything which Martinus said or wrote - and that was a lot - he considered a follow-up to the Bible. However, his sayings or writings differed so much from the Christian scripts that in reality he has written something which may be called "a new Bible". As to his earth shaking experience in 1921 he always claimed that it had the bearings of a cosmic vision: "The vision of Christ that I experienced was not a dream or a hallucination, but a fully awake, day-conscious cosmic experience, and it contained a distinct declaration of a mission that I was to carry out." From that moment he really was on a mission, never to return to the path of the ordinary church teachings. To him, his mission was the obligation to show people God and to teach them about the divine mission of Jesus as he saw it.

He had - and still has - many followers, and today they connect in the Martinus Institute where they discuss his many works and his "Cosmology" which reads that the Universe is an all-embracing and living organism. We are here on this planet solely for the experience of life itself, which is supposed to develop and refine us over time when we have been born and reincarnated many, many times. In the end we shall have refined all senses and also have developed new instincts and new abilities. However, Martinus is not widely known outside of Scandinavia, even though he has published many books like e.g. his main work "The Book of Life" which is also called "The Third Testament".  

 

When he died he was put to rest in a rich mausoleum and this kind of burial outraged some people who thought that he had grown haughty and tried to put himself out to be more exalted than everyone else. Those people can't have been very familiar with his teachings, as his reason for this luxurious burial place was his belief that humans hold an obligation toward all the small animal organisms that live in our bodies and which should have time to find other lodgings, so to speak. To him, we are all part of the Cosmos as such, but we also constitute a Cosmos to other living creatures.

When "Health Care" Isn't "Care"

 

Well, that's a "solution" that's NOT solving the issue of people getting ill from something that may be contagious. 

Not all illnesses can be cured, I regret to say so, but I know that's a fact, not entirely of life itself, but also of social circumstances. For instance, the lack of free healthcare in the USA deem many American citizens to an early death. Something that e.g. Elon Musk as well as tRump find quite all right. Actually, it's their opinion that people who try to live "for too long", whatever that is, endanger society: People should live, work and die when that's not possible anymore for health reasons, which means "no golden years" for the part of the population who are engaged in physical work. In reality, it's those non-billionaires who can't afford medical treatment, simply because they are exploited by being underpaid: Money is the key!

Not a good situation for the "ordinary guy and girl", but somehow it just goes on and on. People may complain about it, but that seems to be as far as they are ready to go. Why??? Not being an American, I shall probably never be able to understand that part of it, but it is strange.  

Fight as you may, but time is running out for those who don't target the main problem, namely the exploitation of those who ought to harvest what they invested by working and paying their taxes. Instead the money that should be their social safety bank is spent on those people who exploited them. However, people tend to forget that no, billionaire boss stood beside them when they were out there, working hard in their chosen - or assigned - field of work.

As I see it, this is what ruins the life of the "ordinary guy and girl": The TrickleDown-theft. There will be no changes for the better as long as it is in use, and it's crazy that it hasn't been kicked out yet as the philosophy of it has been proved wrong over and over.

The Shady Muslim Princess

 

The Muslim princess Zaida of Seville (1070-1107), the presumed daughter of king Abu al-Qasim, of Sevilla taifa, is an extremely shady character in the history of European royalty because the many legends about her seem to contradict each other. Was she even a historical figure??? However, strangely enough, she is considered to be part of the British royal line through her son, Sancho - or so it seems, because I don't feel sure that it really is the case. One thing is for sure (or almost for sure???): She was not a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad through his daughter, Fatima, which has been suggested by some scholars. Maybe there was some family connection to the Fatima-descendants, but not in a direct line. 

 

This family tree is very interesting, but is it reliable? I, for one, don't think so - or at least I doubt it. However, it's (almost) safe to say that there was a Zaida, who was a Muslim princess and a widow before she became the concubine of King Alfonso VI of Castille (born ca. 1040-1109), and that she gave birth to his son, Sancho. At some time later she became a Christian and took the name of Isabella - or so some think, as not even that is quite clear. Also, according to legend, she may have become his queen after some years - may have ....

 

King Alfonso VI (died 1109)

It has been said that King Alfonso adopted some Islamic habits from Zaida, but most scholars tell about his hatred and cruel persecutions of Muslims, so what are we to believe? I, for one, don't buy the legend of Zaida as it is being told. Actually, I suspect that her character, as it is presented in various descriptions, is a severe mix-up of several women, and that it needs a more thorough investigation than we have seen up till now.

"A Well Done Hatred", Poem By Else Cederborg

 

A Well Done Hatred

Above the rim of Reality

beneath Nothingness

floating in Space

that's where I found you

All of it came true

as predicted, all of it hard work

no idyll

no rest

not even pleasure

Maybe I came to hate you?

Or did you do the hating game by yourself?

Hatred there was, and hatred there is

quite idyllic and restful, by the way

a well done hatred holds pleasures like love
