The Things You Don't Know

Finn, There are Things You Don’t Know —

I had a vision of The Throne of The Sith - and Who Was On It.

Ren. And Me.

“I see the Emperor and Empress as a pair, representing complementary energies. Male/female, active/passive, giving/receiving etc. They have to do with this world, the real, the tangible, the material. Another pair could e.g. be the Magician and High Priestess referring to more spiritual aspects.

I'd say that yes, they have an important message coming up together. They could be representing real people in a couple, or something more abstract. But what the message is depends on the reading. Are they friendly, supporting each other, creating a whole? Or battling each other, representing opposing attitudes or influences?

“The answer to all of this, everything that we’re talking about, is education into early history. 

Until people understand the Stone Age, the nomadic period, the agrarian era, and how culture, how civilization built up. . . 

In Mesopotamia - the great irrigation projects. Or in Egypt where you had. . . Centralized government authority became necessary to master these. . . 

You had a situation, an environmentally difficult situation like the deserts Mesopotamia, or the peculiar character of Egyptian geography where you can only have a little tiny fertile line along the edges of the Nile. 

Otherwise, desert landscape. 

So [understanding] civilization and authority as not necessarily about power grabbing but about organization to achieve something for the good of the people as a whole. 

Peterson: 

That’s exactly the great symbolism of
The Great Father. 

Paglia: 

By reducing all hierarchy to power, and selfish power, is utterly naive. It’s ignorant. 

I say education has to be totally reconstituted, including public education, to begin in the most distant past so our young people today, who know nothing about how the world was created that they inhabit, can understand what a marvellous technological paradise they live in. 

And it’s the product of capitalism, it’s the product of individual innovation. 

Most of it’s the product of a Western tradition that everyone wants to trash now. If you begin in the past and show. . . And also talk about War, because War is the one thing that wakes people up, as we see. 

Peterson :

And as we may see. 

Paglia :

Yes, War is The Reality Principle.
