The Arès Pilgrims do not trust in politics and
are aware that it's no good letting themselves be crucified by
it (Rev
of Arès 29/5), so that they want to vote. Freely. They vote
rightist, centrist,
leftist, according to which party they each weigh up is less
detrimental to the ideas revived by The Revelation of
Arès.
 But all of a sudden something
new erupts in politics. I don't take sides, only I observe that Nicolas
Sarkozy is trying, ineptly for the time being but it may get better,
to unhook France from the barbed wires of its own
innumerable, paralyzing, contradictory law and outmoded
concepts, so that it may run freely again, creative and thriving.
Without creativity together with prosperity, the left, or the center,
or
the right can't by no means be successful. The very men that accuse the
president of "wanting to be a king," of "posing a threat to civil
peace,"
of "selling off citizens' rights," may be some day the first
benefitting
whatever he opens the way to.
At the 2008 Farming Fair Mr Sarkozy allegedly hurled at an
objurgator that declined to shake hands with him, "Hotfoot it, you
stupid poor jerk!" Hmm, is it really shocking?
My feelings aren't hurt, as I have always been mumbling to
myself, all day, "You stupid poor jerk!" What sounds promising to me is
the unbridled exchange of words and ideas in France where anything
really
dynamic hasn't been seen for long. Heraclites said, "Polemos (fight) is
the father or king of all things (in the
system)."
For millennia Adam's system has been developping through arguments in
religion and politics — The "sects" or "cults" business in
France is just the umpteenth fear, the umpteenth dispute therefore,
about a fundamental question, "What hurts the powers
and
what do they benefit? That's just demagogs' cookery.
The changed world (Rev of Arès 28/7)
will not be disputatious, but harmonious. Meanwhile,
let's hope for some good from the controversies about Mr Sarkozy, as
we will long have to put up with the system while we keep busy making it
weaker and weaker through penitence,
which sets us free, and which will unable us
to gain Mastery (18/3) of the world
by free good men, who will sooner or later
replace the current masters (18/2)
of the law of the rats (XIX/24). The
protests, abuses, mockeries given rise to by Mr Sarkozy's postures,
give parties and all citizens opportunities of rekindling their own
thinking on a lot of main points and even, although quite unexpected,
on The Revelation of Arès, don't they?
On February 22, "Sud-Ouest" ("Southwest"), a paper, joined the
bickering on "sects" or "cults" rekindled by an interview
of Emmanuelle Mignon, a presidential adviser, and issued a big
baloney about L'Œuvre du Pèlerinage d'Arès (The non-profit association
that manages the Arès Pilgrimage). Nothing but one more baloney? Yes,
but it gave me one more opportunity to send the newspaper manager a
correcting mail, which may, when added to all the corrections I've sent
"Sud-Ouest" since 1978, help the press and its political
emulsifiers better to understand a question, not the least, among all of
the questions which are no doubt for a long time bound to stay smudged
by clichés and prejudices, because "blackening" is a job that
gives high living, or thrills, to a lot of people, whether they blacken
the President or blacken unassuming penitents like
us.
