EPISTEMOLOGÍA AQUÍ Y AHORA (The Holy Grail: el Santo Grial)

¿Por qué o para qué dijo Jesús esto a sus SEGUIDORES? :  I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Pienso, que se trata de MAGISTRAL RETÓRICA para resaltar la MAGNIFICENCIA del AMOR de Dios y la BENDICIÓN de conocerlo. Y que "LLEGAR AHÍ" es, EFECTIVAMENTE alcanzar la DIVINIDAD y participar del Supremo Misterio del CAMINO DE LA CRUZ.

O sea, "y sereis como dioses" y sin negar LA VIDA!. De ninguna manera es Jesús un Jim Jones en Guyana, pidiendo EL SUICIDIO de nadie.

"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:"

 

 

"This dwelling, Dunessan by name, was occupied by the family of a redoubtable man in his seventies whose forebears generations earlier had fled into the remote fastnesses of Glen Lyon after being harried and driven from their ancestral lands. A stubborn clan, they had persistently backed the wrong side in wars and had paid the penalty.

The old man was Macnab of Dunessan, patriarchal head of the local branch of the Macnabs, one of the most contentious clans in Scotland. He was a big man, veteran of a dozen Highland battles, and he looked especially formidable when clad in the crimson-green-red tartan of the Macnabs, with dirk and claymore at the ready. He wore white mutton-chop whiskers and a Highland bonnet, and seemed always ready to take up arms for some new battlefield, but recently an old bullet wound in his left leg had begun to impede him, forcing him to stay close to his house, from which he still roared orders to his kinsmen."~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS. Ch.5 The Trace

Kenneth Clark: Civilisation: Ch 8 The Light of Experience

“When Berckheyde painted his picture of the square at Haarlem [136] he appears to have seen almost exactly what we see, if we stand there today at about three o'clock on a sunny afternoon with the wind from the north- west. The architecture is relatively little changed, the sense of space is what we have come to regard as normal, the light is accurately observed. We feel that we could walk into that picture. Nothing strange in that; but like so many things we take for granted, it goes back to a revolutionary change in thought - the revolution that replaced Divine Authority by experience, experiment and observation."

 "As Sir Hugh studied the excellence of his plantation he reflected on what a superior island his Jamaica was. The last rough census had shown some 2,200 whites of the master-mistress category, about 4,000 whites of lower category, and 79,000 slaves. As he had told a recent visitor from England: ‘We never forget that we whites, counting every one, are outnumbered six to seventy-nine. It makes us careful how we act, very careful how we manage our slaves, who could rise up and slay us all if so minded.’ But he also confessed that he himself earned substantial profits from the slave trade: ‘Last year in Jamaica we were able to import some seven thousand slaves from Africa, and we could have sold twice that many: we immediately forwarded more than five thousand of the newcomers on to Cuba and South Carolina, and on their sale we made a tremendous profit.’ " ~~~James A. Michener : CARIBBEAN Ch.7 The Sugar Interest 

 

 

 

This book is about 30 million people scattered across an arc of islands — Jamaica, Haiti, Barbados, Antigua, Martinique, Trinidad, among others-separated by the languages and cultures of their colonizers, but joined together, nevertheless, by a common heritage. For whether French, English, Dutch, Spanish, Danish, or-latterly-American, the nationality of their masters has made only a notional difference to the peoples of the Caribbean. The history of the Caribbean is dominated by the history of sugar, which is inseparable from the history of slavery; which was inseparable, until recently, from the systematic degradation of labor in the region. Here, for the first time, is a definitive work about a profoundly important but neglected and misrepresented area of the world.
