Chapter Seventy Four: The Fall of Rome

************ When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. "I have sinned," he said, "for I have betrayed innocent blood." "What is that to us?" they replied. "That's your responsibility." Matthew 27: 3-5 -o0o- He was seeing a particular vision; a sinister one. It was inside a dream. In the scene, he was seeing a top view of St Peter's Square, from beside a gargoyle overlooking the vast plaza, where he could see a priest that was crucified on top of the Vatican obelisk. He had no idea how the cross was sustained in that location, but it did. It was the image of a grotesque nightmare to be able to see such cruelty done within the confines of the Vatican Hill, and in front of the Basilica erected to hold the very tomb of the apostle who was given the keys to heaven, known as the primacy of the Chair of St Peter. Just as...

Chapter Seventy Three: Influence

The world has become so fake that telling the truth actually makes people uncomfortable. The Sun is Shining Not Quite <3 <3 <3 NOTICE TO THE WIDER PUBLIC BY ORDER OF MANAGEMENT BEWARE OF DOGS OBJECTS OF MANIPULATION BONE OF UTTER MADNESS PSYCHOLOGICAL TRUTHS ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR Lifted snipets from the important work of Dale Carnegie, exploring the clever ways of inducing desired responses from relevant behavior, to choose the right words in communicating commands or instructions, share the stated corporate mission and the future goals and vision of the company, within the sphere of leadership with the ultimate end in view of effectively influencing and motivating those concerned, and other matters related to leading or directing: Every man I meet is my superior in some way. In that, I learn from him. Criticisms are like homing pigeons. They always return home. Only knowledge that is used (remains) in your mind. The rare individual who unselfishly tries to serve others has ...

Chapter Seventy Two: The Book of the Most Curious Mythicals

 It was considered to be the most solemn book to be written by Ezra Dunster himself. The known leadership of the See of Old, the location of the Archcathedral, was responsible for sanctioning the writing of its origins, at first intended solely for academic purposes. But things manifested differently as time went by, and the Book in question became rather a source of instruction for survival than simply serving as a collection of pages for general reference. Within the knowledge developed from the magical community, a subject of the same character eventually emerged, known simply as the discipline of "Care of Magical Creatures." Although it was initially thought of as an Almanac of the complete listing of the mythicals to be found anywhere else in the universe (including a collection of the rarest and extinct creatures), the Book of the Most Curious Mythicals was repurposed to serve a greater objective, primarily in the development of opposition and defense from the reversal ...

Chapter Seventy One: A Brief History of the Vatican Hill in Rome

Blue cheese contains natural amphetamines. Why are students not informed about this? Mark E. Smith -o0o- WwW About the Place of the Enclosed and Walled City of the Vatican, the seat of the religion of Catholicism, directly taken from the known catalogues of the Lore of Commons, Hall of General References: The Vatican Hill in Rome is located on the right bank of the Tiber river, opposite to the traditional seven hills of Rome. The hill also gave the name to Vatican City where St Peter's Basilica is located. The ancient Romans had several opinions about the derivation of the Latin word Vaticanus . Marcus Varro connected it to a Deus Vaticanus  or Vagitanus , a Roman deity thought to endow infants with the capacity for speech evidenced by their first wail (or the vagitus  in Classical Latin). Varro's rather complicated explanation relates this function to the tutelary deity of the place and to the advanced powers of speech possessed by a prophet ( vates ), as preserved by the lat...

Chapter Seventy: The Treaty of Classical Mixtures

 "Have we made a mistake agreeing to this Treaty of Classical Mixtures? Did the crucial dictation of the circumstances have fooled us into thinking that we can save our own kind and preserve our own power by finding a way to quicken our timely demise from the efforts designed to protect our very own talent and unique abilities?" "What do you mean? Is this a sign of regret on your part?" "I guess it is." "What do you think will happen instead if we did not take the chance of signing this instrument? That's all the desired benefits we actually have. To take the risk and explore what is beyond our comfort zone. No progress has ever been made in the safety of the harbor. All must sail their ships in search of a new frontier. Whether or not we obliged too early or negotiated its provisions quite very poorly, there is nothing much that will differ in the present circumstances, really." "But I guess we are all foolish actors somewhere in this m...

Chapter Sixty Nine: Derivatives

The poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese. Gilbert K. Chesterton WwW There was a crazy myth As it has always been About the tragedies reported Contained in the many dreams In the seriousness of life One must look further Within or without The process evolves, continuosly Into the container of sins The flesh that holds the fragility Of life, of spirit, of the tender soul Truthfully divulged In the fondness of thoughts It begins to unfold That all the evil hiding in the good Is simply waiting to implode Then: The dreams become nightmares Vividly renembered in its presence But now, there was an even clearer view The unlikely Waterbred Dragons Trying to defend their own From complete extinction Of fatal death As it flows, it moves The fundamentals of derivative creatures One might find himself deduced To take one's opinion On the many things To be seen, to be felt It must happen very quickly But cautiously, too That is most important Though clearly flawed, as wel...

Chapter Sixty Eight: Paintings and Frames

 It was a massive painting hanging gloriously in the living room of the well-appointed mansion. The frame enclosing it was as beautiful as the painting itself; artists would generally refer to its subject as "surrealism" and its caliber is similar to the merit and style attributed to the great painter and surrealist RenĂ© Magritte. The artwork itself is titled "Lucifer's Refuge," (a name that is already revealing) and the market price for this rare masterpiece has been presently valued at €75 Million, a rigorous thought concept of the re-imaginings of Lucifer's plight in his spiritual struggle, although the original painter who actually created the painting in water color was silent about the inspiration of the work. Many of those valuators (some are even respected professors of History of Art themselves) who were fortunate enough to make a perusal of the said artistic piece had one thing in common to say: that the strokes were impeccable and gentle in its ap...
