James Brown Repents Over Me

 

James Brown Understands –Repents of Hurting Me  8-29-23

 

         Upon waking with this dream I was baffled & spent an hour in bed going over it, then it made sense.

         I am on the street & realize James Brown is chasing me.  There’s no reason why but I’m afraid & I run like Hell.  There are many shops on the way & I run into one that is convenient.  The pharmacist is usually there; thank God he’s here now.  It’s just a small plain store with a counter against the back wall, everything light, & I exclaim,

         “Call the police”

         And I see him dial ‘911.’

         He’s wearing a white coat.

         Wow, I’m glad to be in here as I feared James wanted to do me harm – very afraid.



         But as long as I stay here I’m safe, he won’t DARE come into the shop to hurt me.

         I see him sitting across the street.  He is waiting for me to come out.  Every 2-3 minutes he looks up to see if I’m still here.

         He was wearing a strange outfit, a suit made of thick soft olive green wool – very conservative, not like him at all.

         After a while he’s warm, takes off the jacket & changes his position.  He’s more to the right, & now I see he’s got on a very bright blue sweater vest, sitting there facing right.  His head is BALD.

         The pharmacist changes into a woman & seems to be in love with me.  He/she wants to hug me, climbs over the counter & does so, several different times while I’m here.  But it’s kind of embarrassing because as a woman he has large breasts just like me & when we hug our chests touch.  That’s slightly uncomfortable.

         Another friend gets involved.  She comes into the pharmacy—not to buy anything, but to help me.  She’s that Wicca lady who once long ago {2010} sent me a love charm & love spell – can’t think of her name!  Let’s call her Cathy.  She’s wearing dark clothes, a short but full skirt & glasses.  She’s big – not fat – tall & large boned.

         We three are thinking how to deliver me from James & his pursuit.  The pharmacist tells me,

         “I own an apt building where you can go & hide out for a while.” 

         And he adds,

         “It’s a luxury building.”

         But we have to make a run for it, quickly leave the store & run with all our might, hoping James did not see me & starts running too late to catch me.  Why there were no police I don’t know.

         So we alight into the street & run, I am going so fast I leave my pharmacist & Cathy behind me.  We go for a while, fast as lightning, & make a right turn & appear in an unexpected place, in front of a house that is not what I expected.  This is the place I will hide.


         It’s not a building or luxury apt building, it’s a house off from the city, there seems to be something like an old railroad track behind it to the left, then wide open spaces.  It’s a one story house {I think again & again, not burglar proof, safer to be up on a 2nd or higher floor}, painted dark red, small, modest, & it even has a clothesline in front of it, about 50’ long going from one side of the house to the other, where the line crosses the front of the house there is no laundry hanging, but to the left & right of the house, laundry hangs – all white – like flags almost – laundry not close but with several feet between each piece.  So different than what I imagined.





         At this point it seems like the pharmacist & Cathy kind of fade away & I’m imagining the rest.

         My imagination puts a widow here, whose husband left her for another woman, took half their money & left.  But after a couple years he died.  She had a job & kept working it to survive, but after he died she got a pension so survival was OK.

         This lady is very nice.  The pharm told her he’d give her half a month rent off for hiding me for a while {until we believes James will tire of looking for me}.  I’d get room & board but if I want to, I can get my own food from town.

         She welcomes my presence as someone to talk to for a while as she’s all alone.  All her children & grandchildren live in other states & there isn’t much communication.

         And I imagine where we turned off the main road & came here, James wouldn’t be able to find me, I’m safe. 

         Meaning:

                 It’s been a while since James, with my help, ascended into Heaven.  {He died Dec 15, 2006 & I did not even know he was dead until about 4 years later.  He appeared, I gave him the Sacred Kiss, his Guardian Angel immediately took him to Heaven.}

         Apparently their comprehension isn’t instant, during what we call time; they come to understand things they originally did not.

         What he’s come to realize is that when I chased him – which frightened him & he ran like crazy & that ended our relationship – it was because I was suffering from the disorder of PTSD – from the abandonment of my Dad & abuse of my Mom.

         My need for love was so intense it caused me to chase whomever I loved because of anxiety, a sickness.  As soon as I loved someone this disorder would kick in – it’s happened dozens of times, to various degrees, with him it was bad.

         My fear is only a parallel to his fear, when I, for instance, chased his limo & another car through the Hollywood Hills after he performed at the Hollywood Bowl.  They at one point stopped both cars, had a conference, & decided to split up.  But I guessed he was in the limo, stayed behind that until he got to the hotel – I think the name was Ciro’s – close to the Whiskey A Go Go on Sunset Blvd, pulled in right behind them & there saw James exit the vehicle with a tall brunette he’d picked up for the night.  This is not the point of the dream, the point is something else.

         It is to say that he finally understand my plight & he regrets hurting me.

         This plight is shown in his BALDNESS which is when a person loses their sanity.

         And second, he takes off the olive jacket & there sports a bright blue sweater vest.  The blueness is sorrow.  He’s now sorry he hurt me, as he didn’t understand my emotions & rejected me because of his fear – the fear I feel in the dream.

         The thick, fuzzy olive suit is ‘army green,’ which shows his defensiveness. When he removed the jacket or his defensiveness you see revealed the sorrow for what he did.

         The pharmacist represents I am sick & need meds for anxiety – which I did not take.  When he turns into a woman & hugs me shows how much I needed love from my Mom, but did not get it.  Both parents depriving me of love was a hard road to take.

         Now the end is the end of my life, where I find PEACE. 

         The white clothing hanging there means this: 

         What does a white scarf mean?

Khata (Hada) is a fabric scarf used for gifts by Tibetan people and Mongolian. The meaning of the Khata scarf is good wishes and respect. In Tibetan monasteries, Khatas mean greetings to monks and Buddha. The Tibetan scarfs' colors are fixed. The most common color is white, as auspicious as Tibet's snow. 

         This ‘hanging laundry’ means ‘peace’ & ‘welcome’ to me.  It is my RESIDENCE / LIFE today.

         I GOT AWAY from being in love with earthly beings like James & others by conquering the anxiety.  This happened finally after the last lover, Nick.  I did rise above my human disorder when I forced myself to stop obsessing.  It took 2 years of absence from him on purpose, denying myself the urge to chase him.  So I was free at last.

         The other statements I imagine are simply explaining how I love today – alone & happy.  Family far away & sometimes desiring company, but nothing extreme.

         Question:  Why did the pharmacist mislead me as to my destination & why is my house painted dark red, & only one floor where in real life there’s more than one?

         Actually, the one floor house, out of the way, shows no anxiety, because in dreams, the symbol of being high up like on bridges, elevators means anxiety.  You are SAFE by being ‘out of the way,’ not in the spotlight, not with people, alone.  Being alone is your safest spot, they can’t get to you, they can’t hurt you.

          Why did he suddenly appear to me after several years & show his regret?  Might be because for the last 2 weeks I’ve listened to over 50 hours of accounts of the suffering of American slaves, as well as the history of it & neo-slavery – {the laws passed after the civil war which kept people without human rights & rendered them into involuntary servitude} - & I have great compassion for the people victimized.

Latest Article Roundup by Ajax The Great (Pete Jackson)

By Ajax the Great (Pete Jackson)

(Originally posted on the True Spirit of America Party blog)

DO INTEREST RATE HIKES REALLY FIGHT INFLATION?

Short answer:  In a word, NO.

Long answer:  It's a very nuanced and complicated issue, but in practice, hiking interest rates generally does more harm than good, and at best is really not very effective in fighting inflation. 

Interest rate hikes, far from being a "razor-sharp, double-edged sword" (as we at the TSAP used to say) in theory, they are in practice just as blunt of an instrument as tax hikes are.  And they only "work" insofar as they cause a recession, as history has shown.  When the FERAL Reserve raises interest rates, it is "pushing on a a string" when they raise them insufficiently to cause a recession, and "blunt force trauma" to the economy when they raise them enough to do so.  And when they cut rates, it is even more so like "pushing on a string", as the damage is usually already done by that point, and of course they cannot cross the "zero lower-bound" into negative rates without inherently turning the world of finance upside-down.  There seems to be no "Goldilocks zone" for interest rate policy during times of high inflation, and the "therapeutic window" is generally closed.

Knowledge says that choking the economy until it goes limp and then choking it some more technically reduces inflation by killing demand for goods and services.  But wisdom says that one could hardly call that a success.

Not only are interest rate hikes inherently recessionary, they can also paradoxically increase one of the two types of inflation, "cost-push inflation", even as they tamp down the other type, "demand-pull inflation."  Both types are two sides of the same coin, so it can easily result in (or exacerbate) chronic stagflation, for which the only "cure" is to hike the rates so extremely high to cause a deep recession or depression, followed by cutting rates very quickly, at the cost of massive collateral damage.  A "cure" that is worse than the disease.

And the fallout falls not on the rich, who are largely insulated from the consequences, but overwhelmingly on the poor and working class, and also the middle class as well.

Cutting the money supply, whether fiscally via austerity or monetarily via quantitative tightening, is also similarly recessionary and damaging as well.  Both forms of tightening, along with interest rate hikes, are at best "break glass in case of emergency" measures that should almost never be used, period.

In other words, if you "burn the village to save it", the village will eventually return the favor.  You reap what you sow.  That's literally how karma works.

Even Rodger Malcolm Mitchell himself has recently turned against the idea of interest rate hikes, a policy he once strongly supported.  That really says something indeed.  Ellen Brown would agree as well.

So what works instead?  According to Mitchell, the root cause of ALL inflations is shortages.  Whether it's oil, gas, energy in general, food, labor, or otherwise, shortages are the common denominator.  To cure inflation, we must cure the shortages.  Now that is often a lot easier said than done, but governments who issue their own currency can help resolve shortages by fiscally incentivizing more production of such scarce goods and services.  And, of course, to also refrain from creating shortages in the first place with things like price controls or other artificial restrictions by fiat that are known to backfire. 

Oil, gas, or energy shortage?  Incentivize more domestic oil/gas production in the short term, followed by renewable energy production in the medium to long term as well.  Buy oil/gas or energy at at premium and resell it or give it away at a loss.  Food shortage?  Buy food at a premium and resell it or give it away at a loss.  Computer chip shortage?  Incentivize domestic chip factories.  Labor shortage?  Implement a "reverse payroll tax" like the EITC but simpler and more straightforward, to boost the paychecks of workers without increasing costs for employers.  Or the government can hire the most in-demand workers directly at a premium.  And consider replacing all or some means-tested social welfare programs with an unconditional Universal Basic Income (UBI) that does not perversely penalize people for working.  And so on.  That's the power of creating one's own currency via Monetary Sovereignty. 

QED.  Case closed, at least until we find even more compelling evidence otherwise. Therefore, the TSAP's new position in interest rates shall supersede everything we have said in the past about the topic.

UPDATE:  So what is the ideal interest rate then?  Should we do what MMT advocates, and just park it at zero and leave it there? There is a good case to be made for that, and the answer probably depends on a number of factors.  But negative interest rates are really not a wise idea for a national currency (too negative and people just hoard cash under the mattress, while not negative enough is really no better than zero).  For complementary and alternative local currencies, negative interest (aka demurrage) can perhaps make sense, like the Austrian town of Worgl famously did during the Great Depression, but the benefits of such likely do not scale up very well.  Thus for national currencies, zero is the practical lower bound.  And if zero interest (i.e. being able to borrow money for free) is still not stimulative enough, then do "QE for the People" by printing more money and giving it directly to everyone, rather than the banks in "regular" QE.  Problem solved. 

James Gailbraith makes a great case for low interest rates overall.

Thus, like MMT, the natural interest rate should be assumed to be zero by default, but unlike MMT, we should still not tie our hands and take higher rates off the table completely as a "break glass in case of emergency" measure.  Nor should Treasury bond sales be completely discontinued either, as those help stabilize the financial system in times of instability.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:  I agree with Rodger Malcolm Mitchell on many things in regards to economics, but not everything.  For example, while I believe he is right about most things, he would certainly disagree with me about practically anything related to the very topic that dominated much of the past three and a half years.  Oh well.  Which brings me to my next article:

FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU.  FOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME.

Time warp much?  Last I checked, the calendar says 2023, not 2020 or 2021.  Some people apprently didn't get the memo, based on their recent behavior.

The zealots are at it again, it seems.  Whether it is to sell more jabs, attempt to vindicate themselves, or something even more sinister, they are dusting off their old playbook once again in regards to the virus.  Fortunately, it seems to be just a few outliers for the time being, and most people are largely tuning out the fearmongering.  Looks like We the People have finally reached "herd immunity" to their BS, God willing.

At this juncture of history, pushing for any sort of virus-related mandates will truly be political and career suicide for anyone pushing it.  Are they really that stupid? Or do they just want us to think they are that stupid?  Either way, they are truly insulting the intelligence of 99% of the population by doing so.

All of the virus-related mandates, fearmongering, and the totalitarian ideology behind them need to be completely eradicated, root and branch, lest they ultimately grow back the moment it becomes politically expedient to do so and/or when "generational forgetting" eventually sets in. And of course, they can be repurposed for the next "crisis", real or manufactured, whatever that may be (climate lockdowns?).  We truly ignore that fact at our peril.

Whatever happens next, DO NOT COMPLY!  Give them an inch, and they will take a mile every time.

QED

From Rasa Von Werder:

    Part 1 I'm out of my depth.  Part 2 sadly I wait for the mob to comply to any more insane, tyrannical, conspiratory actions of those above, as the majority are Sheeple.  Let's see what happens.  But I think only a percent, not sure how much, are aware of the evils going on.  And so, they go along with the status quo, they get duped.  Even smart people get duped if they don't study the conspiracy media.

AJAX SAYS:  Well-said overall, Rasa.  For Part 1, in a nutshell, raising interest rates has a tendency to backfire and generally does more harm than good, once all the jargon and accoutrements are stripped away. Occam's Razor would say that deliberately making everything effectively more expensive across the board (by making money itself harder and costlier to get) to engineer a recession is a terrible way to fight inflation.  For Part 2, I also don't have much faith in the masses of sheeple either.  But when so many people have been at least partially red-pilled about the plandemic by now, and even more people have simply grown weary of it all and put it in the rearview mirror, the powers that be will have to find a new schtick in order to succeed in their Machiavellian machinations.  One can only recycle the same exact one so many times, after all, especially so soon after the last time.

Thank you for your insights. 

UPDATE:  But what about speculative bubbles?  Don't low interest rates encourage those?  Yes to some extent, but only if Wall Street is deregulated like the Wild West (like now).  Therefore, better regulation of the big banks and shadow banking system, and a financial transactions tax, are a better idea to rein in reckless speculation than high interest rates.

Matriarchy, Egypt, Academics & Sex

 

Imp Letters re Matriarchy 8-12-23

Hi Rasa 

I read your dream and had a slightly different interpretation to it than you do. The way I saw it, was being aware of the most important things you have and not get sidetrack by things that are unimportant. The most important thing about striptease is that you have a beautiful body. So even in a situation where you have the wrong clothes and the music is turned down so you can’t dance properly, it didn’t matter. The people turn up to see your nude body and that in the end, that is all that matters and by getting sidetracked by things that they’re not interest in, you lost your audience.  






So the way I see it, because of your age striptease is no longer a way to attract an audience but you have had success in other part of your life and to look at this. Having a beautiful body is a gift from God but God must have given you other gifts, so what are they? What else do you do that attracts people to you?  

 

In the end most people don’t think deeply about life, so telling them that our world would be a better place if women ruled the world, or that God is Woman and not a man, is not going to attract a large audience because these ideas are too esoteric. So these ideas have to be buried in things people find entertaining. You did have some success on Youtube and I think perhaps you could try to build on that.    William 

        From Rasa:

   That's an interesting interpretation William.  Yes I'm going to start doing videos again when the weather gets cold.  But this time I'll wear conservative clothes & simple makeup, no jewelry or ornamentation.  I want to attract a new audience who want to hear what I have to say - the New Religion & what it stands for.  And other religious subjects like the meaning of spiritual poverty, the two kinds that I have experienced.  I am good at mystical theology.

 

    I might also, later on read so






me of my books when I change my videos into a 'podcast.'  A podcast can be twelve hours long!

        Thanks for this.     Rasa 

Hi Rasa 

What I’ve been thinking lately is, why would God want people like us to promoting Matriarchy? After all I’m just a working class man who is not very articulate and you use to be a stripper. It would make more sense of have very academic people promote matriarchy instead. And that is what is happening. I am in a group called Matriarchal Studies and it is a group of academic women but it is important for academic people to be ‘respectable’. So recently there has been a big discussion on this group called, “The best definition of patriarchy”, and they get caught up in all sort of complicated mental gymnastics because they won’t state the obvious. Patriarchy is about male rule and men rule through force, violence, indoctrination and intimidation.

 

So even though it is great that academic women are trying to promote Matriarchy. They are limited because they are too frightened to directly say that men do and terrible job in ruling our world and won’t say why women would do a better job in doing this. Because women are more caring and loving people. Female academics are too frighten of what male academics might say if they said this, because we still live in a patriarchal system. 

 

So the strength we both have, is that we are both outsiders. We don’t have a reputation to uphold because we didn’t have one in the first place. This means we are free to say whatever we like. So perhaps that might be another interpretation of your dream and that is we have to tell the naked truth. We are of no use if we also try to dress the truth up in ‘respectable’ clothing. Someone has to tell the naked truth about patriarchy, why we all would be better off if women ruled the world and why God is a Woman. Because no-one else is doing this.     William 

 Wow William, this is profound.  You have a way of saying the truth, the simple truth, with no frills & when a person hears you they know it's the truth.  It's because you're so innocent & without guile, with no reason to HIDE but academics have to HIDE their belief in anything but the Patriarchal party line!





    I am NOT FOND of academics.  Indeed, you explained it perfectly.  They have strict standards for reputations, they cannot afford to smear or tarnish.  Examples:  I had a young Harvard professor who taught the history of India.  We were good friends, we spoke often & shared much.  He explained to me how the English invaded India through TRADE.  I had no idea, it seemed unbelievable how one country can invade & dominate another, & bring in their military.  Later I learned they tried to do the same to Tibet, saw a long involved documentary on that, but apparently that failed.  He also introduced me to Amma, the hugging saint, he loved her dearly & had spent long vacations in India to be with her.  She appeared to me & emphatically stated, 

        "YOU TEACH!"

      Here is the rub:  I was about to publish my book on Yoga & Christianity & asked him if he could write an introduction.  He was so INDIGNANT - How dare I?:  That he never spoke to me again.

    Then I had a best friend, Dr. Ewert Cousins, the head of spirituality at Fordham & also professor at Columbia.  I met him, had lunch with him at the Univ. & elsewhere, & for two years, we spoke together every Sunday & prayed together.  He said I was the best prayer partner he'd ever had.  Even in Hawaii, I was working there for 3 months, I called him every Sunday.  I lied to him - a white lie - that I was doing public speaking on religion, as I traveled from place to place.

    He was affiliated with publishers & said my mystical work was worthy of being published.  But he was dragging his heels - two years went by.  Finally I sent my manuscript to the publisher he was associated with.  One of them knew I was a stripper & told him.  He called me & if I saw him his face was probably white.  I knew that was the end.  I never called him again & he did not try to keep our friendship going.  They are totally brainwashed about reputation - to be in association with those who are marginalized or even outcast is anathema, it means career death.  There is a convent I went to in my area because of him.  At first they were welcoming to me.  But when they found out later I was a stripper, they shun me & even though I told them I want to begin a new Order & found a  convent, the main nun does not return my calls.

    I have a feeling that's why








 Freyja no longer speaks to me.  She graduated an Ivy League college - probably Yale because she lived in New Haven - & she BELIEVES in our cause wholeheartedly.  But suddenly she cut off friendship with me, because I suspect she FEARS being OUTED as working with me.  She is gay, she believes, she followed in my footsteps, but even if she got great money from me to continue the work, she would become tarnished or tainted in her profession, whatever it is.  She must do her work secretly but if she openly promoted my work in the mainstream she wouldn't be secret any more. She's probably a big shot now & making a 3 figure income.  In my husband's firm, Sikorsky Aircraft, the new females entering the field were being paid 90k while Richard remained at the 60k level he'd been on for years, & no bonus was forthcoming, & they worked him harder than before!  Super educated women like Freyja are taking over.  I think she got her Master's degree. 

    And Pete, you know how Heidi Hoodoo treated me when I tried to friend her for Matriarchy.  She exclaimed,

    "I will NEVER work with you!" 

    And I befriended priests along the road - everywhere I went.  But when they found out I was a stripper they had the same attitude everyone else does,

    "She's low minded, probably on drugs, does sex for money, has no morals, a big-time sinner."

     {It's going to take me a while to prove to many that SEX IS NOT A SIN.  NEITHER IS NUDITY!}

    There was one exception - Fr. DePaul Genska, the Priest of Prostitutes who was a professor at Catholic Theological Union.  And get this:  He gave me his syllabus to do with whatever I wish!  I plan t publish it!  Along with some of my views on the subject.  

    And in agreement with you, let me add this:  When the Holy Virgin decided to appear to the human race, she chose the most humble, ignorant, obscure, poor people.  Look at Fatima & Lourdes, & I could name many more examples.  Juan Diego with Guadalupe.  She NEVER appeared to the great Priests or Bishops or Scholars with reputations in Universities - that I know of.  Not the famous apparitions, maybe private visions.  Sister Margaret Mary Alacoque brought us the Sacred Heart, Sister Faustina brought us the Divine Mercy - they were obscure.  And mind you, the Holy Virgin appeared to me, a stripper, before my speech in front of the White House & said, 

    "I want you to show the whole world my Immaculate Heart."

     And there was a vision - & beyond that Mary has put into my hands to evidence of her being EQUAL to our Bl Lord - this will be an important part of the New Religion, it will REVOLUTIONIZE Christianity. 

    These people of whom we speak - academics - are part & parcel of Patriarchy & they must BEHAVE in conformity with it, so how can they bring forth the truth & the facts?  Only Marija Gimbutas risked her reputation to speak the truth.  But you & I & Pete all go beyond that by speaking more brutally, plainly, re the issues.  We are way tougher than them, although they have advantages over us, that their words & books are distributed in a mainstream sort of way, like in top magazines, big publishers.  We are small potatoes in the mainstream world but GOD HAS A WAY & our ideas WILL PREVAIL!       Rasa 

        On Another Note re Egyptian Matriarchy 

From Ajax the Great {Pete Jackson}

Very interesting and well-said, both of you. It seems like ancient Egypt started out largely Matriarchal and then gradually became more and more patriarchal over time (thousands of years), much like the ancient Sumerians.  A process that accelerated once the Greeks and then Romans took over (much like when the Assyrians and then Babylonians took over, in the case of the Sumerian).  History sure does rhyme. 

And as we see once again, the sexual liberty of Women is indeed the kill switch to patriarchy, and its many levels and layers.  No wonder the patriarchy has uniformly fought tooth and nail to quash it in practice, if not also in theory. 

Best wishes,  Pete

From what I have read there were female Pharaohs who ruled on their own. The problem is we know little about these Pharaohs because later male Pharaohs deleted them from history. So all inscriptions and statues of these female Pharaohs were destroyed. We only know about them because some inscriptions or papyrus text of them somehow managed to survive. But modern male archaeologists don’t want to talk about them either.  

There were a fight for power between women and men in ancient times and we get a sense of who was on top in any period by which deities were being worshipped. For instance Isis in some periods was the major deity and then other times she was demoted to a minor Goddess. So her status would depend on the power of different priests or priestesses at the time.     william

     Very interesting William.

        So it sounds like Matriarchy.  I have Matriarchy in my blood so it makes sense why I am focused on female dominance - always have been since I can remember, even as a child starting with maybe 12 or 13, I resented the way women were treated & pushed down.  And couldn't understand WHY but then after years of study learned it was a conspiracy against women - a result of the gender war.

    We are regaining our authority now, I predict in about 200 years the male hold on us will be broken. 

    If I was her then my personality, character & interests make sense.  Like I said, Jesus was a Buddhist Guru & then reincarnated into the Hebrews - but his teaching is 100% Buddhist.  He is a continuation of Buddha, not the Hebrew religion.  The Hebrew religion is wicked Patriarchy with all its revenge, hate & murder.  It is not who God is, it is their invention of God, what they imagine, made in the image & likeness of them.  I will do a big sermon on that when I restart my videos, when it gets cold. 

    Buddha was against the Caste system, so is Jesus.  Buddha was for non violence, Jesus said turn the other cheek.  Buddha said pray daily for all sentient beings.  Jesus said whatever you do to the least of these, you do to me.  This is the OPPOSITE of what the Hebrews believed.  The 10 Commandments had to be only for THEM, how they should be with other Hebrews.  Because they broke every Commandment toward other people & ridiculously said God told them!  God does not tell people to kill others & take their property & their girls for rape.  But that is what they did.  Such hypocrisy.  And Moses parted the Red Sea?  I read that in the extreme North the Red Sea gets so low they have a road where caravans of camels regularly crossed. 

    I'm getting comfortable with the idea I was Nefertiti, it's beginning to make sense.  How I feel about things.  What you added about the matrilineal line is fascinating.  A man had to marry a female Pharaoh to become Pharaoh?  I will have to study this.  And women had sexual liberty?  So indeed, the sexual liberty of women is the kill switch to Patriarchy, like we all agree.             Rasa

The Ancient Egyptians did have matrilineal inheritance. This was because they didn’t have strict marriage laws and women were able to have sex with whomever they want and so it was uncertain whom fathered her children.  So the only secure succession was down the female line. As the result, a man could only be Pharaoh by marrying the female Pharaoh. This resulted in many Pharaohs marrying their sister and is some cases their mother to become Pharaoh. So inbreeding was a big problem for the Ancient Egyptian royal family. So yes Nefertiti was probably the true Pharaoh.      William

Thanks Pete & William. 

Yes from what I read, she had a very high position, at some time, she was the Pharaoh.  First she was equal to her husband, then he died, & she was Supreme.  Because of the sculptor who made that statue of hers, she's the most famous lady of Antiquity.  Everyone praises her beauty.  And there was a NUDE statue of her!  That does remind me of me, lol. -  As 'Miss Nude Universe".

I don’t know if this has anything to do with Nefertiti, but I remember some time ago seeing a program that said that the worship of the Sun God Atum gave the priestesses great power because the high priestess became the wife of Atum. Which put her in a position above that of the high priest. It Nefertiti and her husband Akhenaten promoted the worship of Atum in Egypt, then perhaps this might have been her idea to do that.     william
