The Heart of Julius Caesar

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

Today, my few friends here in Eugene came over, and to them,

in front of them, in their presence, I broke down and was

myself fully, and asked questions, that came from deep

within me, and told out my pains and woes, and cried aloud.

 

It's not that their replies did it, but somehow, crying and

balling, laughing and such, and saying everything to my few

friends, and then at one point, while listening to an old

Celtic melody, I had the cry of a lifetime, for all those

that died in the conquest of Gaul by Caesar, and then of

Britain, the famine in Ireland, and so many things, it all

came out, in one big cry.

 

Then I recounted, in a quick way, the events of Ancient

Europe and Rome, then Christ, the Apostles, Paul, then the

conversion of the Emporer, the spread of Christianity, up to

the present, and just watched one friends jaw drop a few

inches, her face change completely, and then she just said

"Oh my God, that's fascinating".

 

Tonite I am re-reading "The Ancient Celts" by Barry

Cunliffe, professor of European Archaeology at Oxford. This

is a scholarly book, but in being so, it contains a concise

and complete review of the archaeological and other

historical evidences about the Celts, their times, and the

events of history that led to their virtual cultural

extinction. The book covers it all quite clearly, bringing

you right up to the current times. Mr. Cunliffe covers it

all in great detail.

 

So now it's 3 AM. What a day. Lots of confusion. Tons of

emotions. I let it all out. Then a clarity came. I began to

read. I passed the evening alone reading and re-reading, not

believing what I was reading. The huge armies, the massive

amounts of dead, the huge amounts of gold taken back to

Italy, and on and on. I am struck with wonder at how a few

key individuals have so shaped our modern times. Tonite I am

pondering the lives of Julius Caesar, who with his armies

travelled all over Europe bringing the Celts under control

in the last century BC. And that of Christ, who came with

power into a time and place where Monotheism of the Jesus

style was not at all in vogue. How Paul converted, met the

brother of Christ, and spread his version of Christianity.

Then of Constantine, who spread that version further, and

how it ultimately took over nearly all of Europe, and went

to places like South America, New Zealand, Australia, and of

course, America. Ever since then, the freedoms it affords by

dint of it's inherent disconnection from nature due to it's

anti-body and anti-natural forces as God stance, has led to

the industrial revolution and all it's side effects.

 

It's not surprising to me that America has led the

industrial revolution, because here you have a massive

country by land size, as well as one rich with all types of

resources, which was conquered by a people who had just come

from nothing but thousands of years of war, virtually, and

with all the perfections of war that history provided them,

were easily able to subdue the indigenous "Indians" and take

over the vast land. Then, because they were "Christians",

these white settlers were no longer bridled by belief in

"Natural Forces" and "Spirits". Then, they were coming from

a rather seriously vicious group of bloodlines, ie, the

Celtic, Germanic and Norsk lines primarily, and so, what you

get, is a meat eating culture, with very little old culture,

just a new fanatical idea about God, Heaven, and so forth,

ie, Christianity, and a puritanical version of it at that.

 

America is directly an overflow of fanatical converted White

peoples, converted to the new Jewish related religion called

Christianity, who for various reasons left Europe to come to

the new land of America to settle it for themselves. So now

you have the heavy duty Europeans, who as indigenous peoples

themselves prior to Julius's, Christ, Paul and Constantine's

times say, were themselves very much like the American

Indians in many ways. Now they had become

Latinized/Romanized, and Christianized. They took it

fanatically, and brought it to America.

 

America to Europe is like a distant Island back in those

times. It's 'way far away' from the "old world" of Europe.

So, forgetfulness set in, and "Americans" as they grew

through the passing decades which turned into a couple

centuries now, have formed their own "Americanized" version

of history, which leaves out most of European history

amongst the schooling of kids, and thus, the white people of

America, grew up along through their generations more and

more thinking of themselves as free, central, powerful,

disconnected from any history, virtually forgot history,

forgot to teach it to their children, and gradually

developed a very materialistic culture. In this environment

everything needed for the "industrial revolution" was

present, much more so than anywhere else. You have no

limiting culture, no limiting enemies, plenty of land,

plenty of resources. You have every reason to do it, and no

reason not to.

 

One Roman historian wrote of the conversion of Britain to

Roman ways in the early days, noting that the Celts there

were falling for the Arches, Public Squares, and Temples

that the new Roman authorities were causing to be built,

saying that they were being "led to accept lives of vice

nicely" and that they (the Celts) were referring to these

amenities as "civilization when actually they were signs of

their enslavement". Note the ease with which they looked

down at the Celts because they were "barbaric", ie, not

"civilized". When you read the notes at length, you realize

they manipulated the more religiously thinking Celts

deliberately as a regular affair in managing the new

province of the Celtic areas. Similarly, when the converted

Whites later came to America as "Christians", they did the

same thing to the "Indians" that the Romans did to them-

take over, take control, Christianize, treat the natives as

"Barbarians".

 

One interesting point to ponder: It can be reasonably traced

to alchohol, Italian Wine, that led to the fall of the

Celtic world. Rome successfully intermingled with it's

surrounding neighbors in the centuries just pre-BC. The

Celtic world took to Italian wine and imported it in massive

quantities. The findings of Roman wine flasks in which wine

was shipped North to Gaul, at various ports and known

archaeological trading points, show this fact. It was huge.

Italy got Europe hooked on Italian wine. Then, when this and

other important revenue channels were threatened by changes

in Europe due mainly to Germanic migrations, Caesar grabbed

the excuse of a Germanic overthrow of Gaul as a reason to

invade Gaul. You could say, that it was largely to protect

the exploit of Gauls financially, that Rome overthrew

Europe. Also, the Celts were apparently so feverish about

this wine, that they paid huge prices for it. We see this

still today. People in Europe paying high prices for "fine

Italian wines".

 

Wine, is also a part of Christianity. A very important part.

Wine, is also what Irish and Scotts, the two most heavily

Celtic countries left, are known for drinking too much of,

along with American Indians, who share a similar fate.

 

It seems that those cultures who lived very nature-based

lives, fell easily to the temptations of ease, luxury,

pleasure, intoxication, because they had, after all, hard

lives, based in nature, interacting moreso directly with

nature, than the Italians, who enjoyed a warmer and more

mild climate as compared to their Northern Neighbors, the

Gauls and Britons etc., the Celts. Wine, and other

attachments to the trade coming from outside the Celtic

regions, is what led to their becoming conquered. It's a

very repeating pattern in history. A country gets attached

to something from outside itself, then that bloodline of

bloodletting, becomes their downfall.

 

By the way, hundreds of thousands of Celts were stolen

during Roman conquests and sold into slavery. There were

Celtic slaves all over the Roman empire. Since this was a

"barbaric" people to the Romans, they had no problem

treating them as such. It's ironic that they would forget

this, and themselves do it to others later. This is one

example of the effects of forgetting negative history.

 

Also, the early Celts and Romans and other cultures of that

time, used "the Raid" as a means of gaining power amongst

warriors. The greater a warriors following of men, ie, his

personal army, as well as the greater the booty he commanded

from his raids, the greater his power back home. Spreading

gold and booty was common. This eventually turned into

printing coins with one's head and name on them. It's the

same idea- to show one's authority and greatness- to show

one's control over wealth, gold, etc. In the old times, as

now really, but more obviously back then, power was gotten

and maintained and stored in things such as raids, weapons,

armies, wealth, booty, land, heroic deeds, etc.

 

From this style of culture, the Roman Empire emerged as the

leader. In doing so, many farmers became soldiers and left

their farms, which were made into larger farms, owned by

single landowners. These farms produced excess crops for

export quite often, and protecting those markets became an

interest of the Roman empire, and that was the real cause of

the conquest of Gaul- it's very similar to politics today-

to protect money, ultimately one's power, pleasure, wealth,

prestige.

 

So, Celtic culture is gone because of Wine and Greed- two

very common sources of problems. The Celts were a part of

this too. Most people in any culture are "average", and that

means, they will always go for anything you offer them which

is more enjoyable, more easy, more pleasurable, etc., than

what they currently have. It takes a person of learning and

virtue to be able to distinguish things on a finer level,

thinking of the future, the planet, religion, spirituality,

etc. Common people know food, posessions, etc.

 

So in other words, just before the time of Christ, alchohol

brought down a great ancient culture, and this happened to

feed a great superpower that was materialistic and not

ashamed of or afraid of taking over entire other continents

for the sake of slaves, resources, etc, to feed their own

cultures greeds, lusts, etc. Often, when Romans conquered

Celts, they simply took the captives home as slaves. It was

that simple. That's what you did with captured Celts- you

made them slaves. There wasn't much thinking about it.

Senators in Rome who tried to ask for more rights for Celts

in the Roman Empire were laughed at loudly. This is how the

"White people of Europe" were dealt with by the

invading/occupying superpower 2000 years ago. 2000 years

ago, the white people of Europe were the American Indians to

the Romans, they were you could say, equal to African

slaves- you go there, you conquer a village, take everybody,

kill who you don't want, and take them back home as slaves.

Sell their children as they "breed in captivity" and so on.

Roman soldiers were often paid by the leader in slaves,

dividing up the captured, who were brought back to Rome to

work the fields etc.

 

2000 years ago, the last free Celtic country was Ireland

("Hybernia"). It remained unconquered, and hardly had

armies, weapons and so on. It was a more peaceful Celtic

land, because it did not border anybody, like Germans,

Romans, and the other dangerous and conflicting people's

fighting each other on the mainland. And unlike Britain, it

was not the first stop off the European continent, nor was

it as big and rich as England in as many ways. It was,

ignorable, in many ways, during the heavy conquest years of

Rome in which Europe and then England fell to Roman rule.

 

2000 years ago, the governor of England, a Roman leader,

looked across at Ireland and talked about what it would take

to conquer it. Also around that time, the last Celtic

chariots ever to be used in battle were used against Roman

troops in Scotland. It was the end of an era, and the

beginning of a new one. Christ, then Christianity, and all

the history we all know well began. The old world ended, and

the new one started. Now 2000 years later, people like me

are looking the other way, back at Europe from Ireland's

descendents, and saying, how about we turn it around a bit

through education?

 

I walk outside now, and look up and down my street in Eugene

Oregon. I see cars and houses. I see the Latin Alphabet

letters on the cars, a Celtic word, carpa, meaning vehicle.

I see therefore, Celt and Roman, still together. I see the

houses that hold my black neighbors, the descendents of

slaves, and realize, I too am a descendent of slaves. Pretty

much everybody is a descendent of slaves around here! The

world that is!

 

Yes, the time of "the raid", and "the blade" and "the slave"

led to the need for Rome to export wine and other things,

which led to war, and cultural genocide. It's a massive

scale and early example in recorded history of the effects

of international economic trade between super powers and

smaller countries or powers, and how "vices" were used to

"manipulate simple people" into becoming dependent, conquered.

 

The ancient Celtic culture was heavily tied to natural

forces, a Pantheon of Gods, the Supreme, Reincarnation,

spirituality heavily so, and so on. When these things were

removed, and replaced with an unnatural religion lacking

it's own culture, the result was not good. The old world

overran it's bounds with war and battle, warrior based

cultures, and the resultant religion, Christianity, was

imbalanced in the other direction, removing all of natural

forces from the religion.

 

I can see, as I look up and down my street, that where I

stand today, is simply a direct outgrowth of the minds and

lives of Julius, Christ, Paul, Constantine, and other great

history makers. The rest of us, most of us, just learn what

they tell us to learn, believe it as true, and go on,

 

buying their imported products,

and paying their taxes.

 

Some of us,

even take up,

and defend

their religion,

sometimes even killing

our own people,

all in an attempt

to align ourselves

with the wealthy,

but oppressive,

powers that be.

 

Powers, and wealth, that be.

We want to be with the power and wealth, that "be".

For where is your power and wealth, there two, will be your

heart.

It's a matter of where your "be" is located.

Where is your "be", or your existence, your reality, what

you love.

Is it in things, or natural

forces/truths/realities/spirituality?

Where do you "be" most comfortably, thinking about what?

 

Where is your heart?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reason I ask is I found one, so if somebody can identify it...

 

Looks unused.

 

Says "Julius" on it...
