We all got to witness the philosophy behind the Quitest beliefs, that being the less you speak, the less you intrude the power is added to the moment that you do.
Suddenly out of Kuwait comes Sistani in a 15 car caravan racing to Basra with horns blaring;
and so racing along the grapevine line to Basra the news 'Sistani is coming' the moment has come he is going to make a pronouncement and the atmosphere becomes electric.
And when he arrives he does not
say he has developed a peace plan but he says he has a plan that WILL make peace right now that he is just making a call to Iraqis to march on Najaf as he moves on towards Basra, and just like that, within 24hours he has done what he announced he would do.
And all this, without a call to arms, as i have now learned Quietism carries within its' own philosophy the desire for non-violent action.

And yes i find curious these events are occuring right smack in the area known as 'The Cradle of Civilization'.
But what Buddhism teaches we are in a prison of illussion run by evil gods, we but the fools that believe in the illussion and therefore be but puppets/pawns of the gods'.
To recognize this is to be free, the way out.
They, The Buddhist believe not in a creator god, for creation itself is a bloody awful business, filled with pain and suffering for all within it, be it rabbits or human.
Pain is pain, the pain of a cat hit by a car and in the throes of death is AS AWFUL a pain as if it was your own pain--this the power of empathy, without it, one is an inferior being.
To desire to justify life and honor the gods(even if reduced to a King,one G-d) is likely but a genetic chip( a simple gene) carried in the human mind to control man's mind.
The poem Prometheus Unbound by Shelley is one of the 5 wisest and great poems written in histoty.
Why is Prometheus presented being endlessly tortured for, simply because he was the rebel, the subversive, that one seeking to give 'The fire/the light" to humankind to enlighten them to the fact they be but victims in a evil ever repeating wheel of life.
The One G-d that evolved out of the converging of myth in the area we speak, it is this G-d that all parties worship in this sick play, and it is this G-d i laugh at and spit upon.
May Shelley's great vision of the moment of Prometheus being unbound, where all his relentless courage NOT to conform not to participate in the great lie of creationm finally overwhelms the world of the gods and it all comes crashing down, and the forces of the greater reality rolls in.
All myths concur there is a Gotterdammarung end point, this can be found in the myths of Eskimos or the ancient tribes and the Amazon or Indonesia(but there is a vital, critical and essential to all,imo, variant in Prehistoric Myth).
If one studies the myths of prehistoric tribes around the world that never had contact with modern man except for the initial contacts that learn and document their myths,however, a stunning matter comes forth, they all are saying the same thing .
But what i will withold now.
Because i believe people STILL do not want to hear so why speak it.
But the exciting part, the common ground of the prehistoric peoples mythology PRECEDE the myths of the myths coming out of the ancient historic world, ancient civilization, and they have a stunningly different story to tell then those from out of ancient civilization.
