-- (DRAFT 9) PREMEDIATED (ADVOCATED) MEDIA AND IT'S AFFIRMATION OF DETERMINISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS
(c) 2022 Dolf Leendert Boek, Revision: 31 December 2022
With the most hectic time of the year now past, as a conception of #1541
- Christianós (G5546): *CHRISTIAN* sapient belief and its universalist humanist commitment towards #27 - DUTIES / #68 - RIGHTS ethos of #505 /
506 - politeía (G4174): *CITIZENSHIP* its time again to make a
resumption to our digestation of DE ZENGOTITA's concluding chapters.
The logical starting point for this is his observation upon THE FATE OF
NATURE, where he summarises the COURSE OF LIFE, in such manner that: "We
are moved to mark our passage through this life.
That goes with the human condition, an anchoring response to the
ephemerality of consciousness. The primordial impulse that moves us to
place *STONES* (eg: #486 - pétra (G4073): *A* *ROCK* *OR* *LARGE*
*STONE*) on graves and erect monuments at the sites of historic events
also moves us to arrange our belongings around us as we take a seat on
the train, to make it our own for the length of the journey. And the
same impulse moves us--to take pictures." [page 219]
And so too the #496 - ʼâman (H539): *ESTABLISHMENT* [#264 - kleís
(G2807): KEYS / POWER AND AUTHORITY OF #415 - dâth (H1881): HEAVEN'S
DECREE OR FATE BEING A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP AS MORAL UNITY OF HEAVEN /
MAN; REWARD FOR VIRTUE; VIRTUE EQUATED WITH SOCIAL OBLIGATION; AND FIXED
TERMED CONTRACT] of the SECTARIAN / SECULAR MYSTERIES [kāi míng (開明): 1. enlightened; open-minded, 2. to become civilized] by their grand
inception occurring midnight on the new moon of Winter Solstice 21
December 103 BCE as the basis for a CHINESE TAICHU [tài chū (太初):
meaning the *ABSOLUTE* *BEGINNING* / *IN* *THE* *BEGINNING*) CALENDAR
which is deployed to this present day.
WHERE #452 = #451 - PRAXIS OF RATIONALITY + #1 - CENTRE (CHUNG): "By [a
pun an understanding is given as the] reading: "EXPANSION IN EVERY CASE
RESIDES AT CENTER", the Head also refers to the mysterious process by
which *FUTURE* *EVENTS* *BECOME* *PRESENT* *PHENOMENA*, displacing
phenomena into the past and providing the momentum for cyclic processes.
As the "Great Commentary" to the Changes describes it:
As the sun moves on, the moon comes. As the moon moves on, the sun
comes. As sun and moon impel each other, light is produced. . . . What
moves on, contracts. What comes, expands (HSIN). As what contracts and
what expands influence each other, what furthers [activity] is produced.
The first nine Appraisals of Tetragram 1 refer to the first 4 1/2 days immediately following the Winter Solstice. Within that brief period of
time, yang begins its struggle to emerge from the domination of yin.
Patterns set in these first nine Appraisal texts recapitulate the entire
annual cycle covered by all eighty-one tetragrams (ie. 9x9x9 = #365 -
YANG / #364 - YIN as #729). At the same time, this "nested" cycle of
nine Appraisals stands not only for cosmic process but also for the
cycle of human action from initial contemplation to final outcome...

(*FOR* *DISPLAY*);
The time has come for noble impulses (including yang ch'i) to exert
themselves: "WHILE THE PHARISEES WERE GATHERED TOGETHER, JESUS ASKED
THEM, SAYING, WHAT THINK YE OF CHRIST? WHOSE SON IS HE? THEY SAY UNTO
HIM, THE SON OF DAVID. HE SAITH UNTO THEM, HOW THEN DOTH DAVID IN SPIRIT
CALL HIM LORD, SAYING, THE LORD SAID UNTO MY LORD, SIT THOU ON MY RIGHT
HAND, TILL I MAKE THINE *ENEMIES*-G2190: THY

The Autumn Onset solar period, usually regarded as the juncture between
summer and autumn, begins with Appraisal 6 of this tetragram. Here,
then, we have another critical meeting point between yin and yang. Since
this is the last opportunity yang will have to #502 - "*LORD*" it over
yin, it is appropriate that YANG HSIUNG should discuss the relations of
the ruler (whose correlate is yang) and the subordinate (identified with
yin). That autumn follows summer is an invariable rule of nature.
Following this *IMMUTABLE* *PATTERN*, *ALL* *SUBJECTS*, *INCLUDING*
*COURT* *OFFICIALS*, *MUST* *FOLLOW* *THE* *RULER*.
Hierarchy functions as the necessary basis for enduring and productive relations; as the Changes argues, the four seasons [#1 - WINTER, #21 -
SPRING, #41 - SUMMER, #61 - AUTUMN] keep to their constant course only
when the "strong is above and the weak below." Not surprisingly, the
need to recognize one's proper place in the hierarchy is a theme of this tetragram. So long as hierarchy is preserved, the worst calamities
associated with yin ch'i may be avoided. This may explain why the penal
code associated with the autumn season is represented in a positive,
rather than a negative light...
When the state is controlled by ministers . . . the movement [of the
moon] inclines sometimes toward the south and sometimes toward the
north. Irregular motion of the moon, whether fast or slow, indicates
excessive power held by relatives of the empress: "... AND UPON THIS

horizontal. This is the constant way." Man moving in horizontal and
vertical directions suggests the fundamental interconnectedness of the
three realms of Heaven-Earth-Man. Elaborate patterns in the night sky

devising models for human culture; the sage hopes to recreate in human
society that marvellous interdependence that proves so productive in the phenomenal world. *PATTERNS* *IN* *HEAVEN* *AND* *EARTH*, *THEN*,

Like the previous text, this Appraisal takes for its theme the light
(and therefore, enlightenment). However, by the sixth Appraisal, we
already have passed the point of balance. For this reason, as Yang
writes, "We contemplate waxing and waning." Here the degree of remaining
light is measured through moon imagery, because even numbered
Appraisals in this tetragram are aligned with yin." [@1, pages 84, 92]
It is reasonably held that the APOSTLE PAUL wrote his epistle to the
ROMANS before the end of his third missionary journey (around 57–59 AD)
as approximately twenty-five years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ
and would no doubt be aware of Caesar TIBERIUS (14 to 37 AD) at that
time engaging within *UNRESTRAINED* *SEXUAL* *CONDUCT* with both genders
and threw them off a cliff if they displeased him: "WHEREFORE GOD ALSO
GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, TO
DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES BETWEEN THEMSELVES: WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF
GOD INTO A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN THE
CREATOR, WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER. AMEN." [Romans 1:24-25]
Although SATURNALIA is probably the best-known Roman holiday initially
held from 17 DECEMBER (#81 - FOSTERING (YANG) / H27 - SWALLOWING,
NOURISHMENT, JAWS, COMFORT /SECURITY) and and later expanded to a six
day ritual with festivities through to 23 DECEMBER (#1 - CENTER (CHUNG)
/ H61 - INNER TRUTH, CENTER RETURNING TRUTH).
But as a whole the festival where there was public banqueting, followed
by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere
that overturned Roman social norms, it's characteristics are not
described from beginning to end in any single ancient source and so
little is known of there being any occasional orgy practice as #456 = taʼănâh (H8385): *SEXUAL* *DRIVE* (*OF* *ANIMAL*) in being a TYRANNICAL EMULATION (#457 = zimmâh (H2154): *NOT* *CHASTE*, *INCEST*,
*LICENTIOUSNESS*, *ADULTERY*, *IDOLATRY*, *HARLOTRY*; lýō (G3089): *TO*
*DO* *AWAY* *WITH*, *TO* *DEPRIVE* *OF* *AUTHORITY*, *WHETHER* *BY*
*PRECEPT* *OR* *ACT* *SUCH* *AS* *BOND* *OF* *MATRIMONY*) of successive
ROMAN CAESARS including CALIGULA (37 to 41 AD) as *ARSENOKOITES* who is
alleged to have raped both a husband and wife upon their wedding day and frequently had affairs with another man's wife to then forbid the
husband having further sexual relations.
Whereas NERO (54 to 68 AD) as action of *MALAKOS* castrated a boy named
SPORUS to make him womanlike, and then married him in a traditional
CEREMONY (#499 = taʻâb (H8581): *DO* *ABOMINABLY* *IN* *THE* *RITUAL*
*OR* *ETHICAL* *SENSE*; loidoréō (G3058): *REVILE* *OR* *HEAP* *ABUSE* *UPON*) and was known to dress up in animal skins and then attack with intention to mutilate the genitals of people tied to stakes.
SIN #18 as [#8 = 34 AD, #9 = 65 AD, #1 = #452 - peshaʻ (H6588): *TRANSGRESSION* (*AGAINST* *INDIVIDUALS*) / (*NATION* *AGAINST*
*NATION*)] = châṭâʼ (H2398) / chêṭeʼ (H2399)
"FOR THIS CAUSE GOD GAVE THEM UP UNTO VILE AFFECTIONS:
Within the year 64 AD, during the SATURNALIA, TIGELLINUS offered a
series of banquets to NERO, and after a few days of which NERO performed
a marriage to PYTHAGORAS: "... he stooped to marry himself to one of
that filthy herd, by name PYTHAGORAS, with all the forms of regular
wedlock. The *BRIDAL* *VEIL* *WAS* *PUT* *OVER* *THE* *EMPEROR* [AS
PONTIFEX MAXIMUS / POPE]; people saw the witnesses of the ceremony, the
wedding dower, the couch and the nuptial torches; everything in a word
was plainly visible, which, even when a woman weds, darkness hides.

FOR EVEN THEIR WOMEN DID CHANGE THE NATURAL USE INTO THAT WHICH IS
AGAINST NATURE: AND LIKEWISE ALSO THE MEN, LEAVING THE NATURAL USE OF
THE WOMAN, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARD ANOTHER; MEN WITH MEN WORKING
THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY, AND RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES THAT RECOMPENSE OF
THEIR ERROR WHICH WAS MEET." [Romans 1:24-27]
Which is consistent with Jewish sources in conveying the etymology of SATURNALIA as #466 = שנאה טמונה (śinʾâ ṭǝmûnâ) a "hidden hatred" and
perhaps an çûwth (H5496): *INSTIGATED* (*BAD* *SENSE*) *ENTICEMENT*.
SINNERS #23 as [#8 = 34 AD, #9 = 65 AD, #1, #5 = #456 - ṭâmêʼ (H2930): *BE* *DEFILED* *SEXUALLY* *BY* *IDOLATRY* *OR* *CEREMONIALLY*] = chaṭṭâʼ (H2400)
We must therefore respectfully disagree with the view expressed within a BIGTHINK.COM article dated 23 DECEMBER 2022 by JONNY THOMSON, who
despite teaching philosophy at Oxford, conveys opinions which are
lacking academic integrity: "The fact that pagan festivals had their own mid-winter celebrations did not challenge Christianity but confirmed it.
It showed that Jesus was at the core of all things [and he didn't die on
25 MARCH but 3 APRIL 33 AD], even before his Incarnation. When the
Romans celebrated Saturnalia, the Greeks celebrated MITHRAS [despite the emergent soldier cultus of the Roman Imperium being well established by
#71 AD as dominion], or the Egyptians celebrated Isis around the same
time, this only showed that they were stumbling closer to the truth —
the truth of Christ.
