</script></p><p>Introduction to Advent &amp; Christmas events </p>
<p>The Christmas season has an ethos of joy and celebration, an ethos of well-being in its statement of goodwill to men, and peace on earth. What an odd celebration, and so popular in California and the United States, throughout the Western World, too, of course. Who does not know this? Everyone likes the winter festival Christmas in some sense or another. It is about love, after all, and so the Christian believes. The music celebrates this love of mankind by the great God of history through the birth of his son Jesus Christ. </p>
<p>  Writing in her recent book, Camaldoli Benedictine Oblate Paula Huston says of the kind of love Christmas and its ethos of spirit offers:   …Jesus puts it very simply;   And though not specifically about Christmas, per se, the words speak to the spirit.   They will know we are Christians by our love. C.S. Lewis insists that we are almost never converted through logic but instead “infected by a love that moves us so powerfully we can’t help but succumb. A modern spiritual writer, Donald Nichols, reiterates the central importance of love to evangelization when he refers to the “theology of faces,” or the look of love that says everything about the faith behind it. Our society, however, is characterized instead by its hyperindividualism and its intense need for “personal space” and privacy. We feel that we are doing well simply by avoiding conflict. The notion of actually loving one another sounds either idealistic or uncomfortably communal. We much prefer our separateness, even as Christians—hence our many sects and denominations.   Though her book is titled, &#8220;forgiveness: following Jesus into radical loving,&#8221;  Paraclete Press, the theme of the book is an indirect remark on God’s willingness to offer man a New Testament, a new covenant of which a part is the old-new idea of forgiveness. This is a season when we can forgive one another, when the heart warms, when the brightness is brought into the darkness of winter.   </p>
<p>  </p>
<p>These various events around the area give testimony and celebration, entertainment and festivity and even fun to the season of charity and good will to all. Come enjoy this wonderful season, this Holiday, this gift of the winter celebration in various places: mostly through music and some through dance.The Jewish year, too, in its winter, has the celebration of Hanukkah. Note the YouTube video below of Pacific BoyChoir’s singing a Hanukkah song in this article. Nonetheless, for the record, one noted member of Jewish Reform Temple El-Emanuel’s staff recommends a comedy event whichKung Pao spokeswoman says of the comedy Kung Pao event in describing it, “That&#8217;s what my event is all about. Escaping Christmas, enjoying comedy, a sense of belonging at a time that is alienating for many&#8230;”   Please find these paragraph’s of text recommending places to go worthwhile and helpful in the season this year, Christmas 2009. </p>

<p>San Francisco Theological Seminary   </p>
<p>In a Press Notice, this writer learned of an excellent place for musical celebration, San Francisco Theological Seminary’s (SFTS) 35th annual Lessons &amp; Carols service Friday, Dec. 4, and Saturday Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. in Stewart Memorial Chapel on the San Anselmo campus.   The candlelight service observes Advent&#8217;s time of preparation and the coming of the Christ Child. It is not only a longstanding tradition among SFTS faculty, staff and students. The Notice continues:   This year’s theme comes from Luke 1:30-31: The angel said, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And now you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High …”   Admission is free, but there will be a freewill offering. Everyone is welcome, but seating is limited, so SFTS encourages those planning to attend to arrive early. Shuttle van service will be available.   </p>
<p> Doctor Daniel Hoggatt, Musical Director of the program, speaks to this year’s event: “This Lessons &amp; Carols used to be more a seminary community event, but in the last 13 years it has been more the Seminary’s gift to the community.   “There are 8 lessons and accompanied Carols by the congregation and choir.   “There is also the wonderful Dobbins Memorial Pipe Organ (Balcom Vaughan) that is in Stewart Chapel. Stewart Chapel is usually used for services four times a week. I am very, very fortunate here to be the musician at SFTS because we have two beautiful chapels.&#8221;   Doctor Hoggatt explains:   It is a service that people come to whether Christian or not because it is a wonderful way to kick off the Christmas season with a warm evening. I have Jewish friends, Buddhist friends, and it is a wonderful, magical evening for all.   It is a choir of 30 voices that come from the seminary community, and the community at large in southern Marin County. We do a variety of Carols from over 2,000 year history.    Doctor. Daniel Hoggatt made the choices.     </p>

<p>                Nutcracker at San Francisco Ballet   </p>
<p> Nutcracker comes alive one hour prior to curtain as costumed characters greet and have their pictures taken with children and families. Plus, the first 500 children to arrive receive a special gift! At intermission, everyone will be treated to juice and cookies.   So says San Francisco Ballet website.   The Ballet touts:   A wonderful Christmas event, Create Magical Memories  This holiday season, you and your loved ones deserve something special – a wondrous experience that evokes joy &amp; elevates your spirit to new heights. Whether continuing a valued tradition or discovering the magic of this beloved holiday classic for the first time – San Francisco Ballet’s Nutcracker is sure to leave you with a sense of warmth and treasured memories that will last a lifetime.    </p>

<p>           Nutcracker Story   ACT 1 In his shop on a foggy Christmas Eve, a toy maker, Drosselmeyer, puts the finishing touches on a magical nutcracker, a gift for his relatives, the Stahlbaum family, whose home he will visit that evening. Customers drop by, searching for last-minute Christmas gifts. Outside the Stahlbaum house, as people hurry home to their Christmas revelries, Drosselmeyer arrives with his beautifully wrapped gift. In the sitting room of the Stahlbaum house, a tree trimming is under way. Clara and Fritz, followed by their friends, arrive downstairs to see the tree lighted, for the very first time in their lives, by electric lights! The children dance with glee. Soon it is time to open gifts. As the children settle down to play with their presents, Dr. Stahlbaum invites his guests to dance. Clara joins the adults. Drosselmeyer—&#8221;Uncle Drosselmeyer&#8221; to the Stahlbaums—arrives and entertains the families with magic. While Clara remains captivated by the dolls, Fritz makes a pest of himself. Uncle Drosselmeyer opens his specially wrapped gift for the family and presents to them the magical nutcracker doll. Clara, delighted, dances with the nutcracker. Fritz looks on with envy, then grabs the nutcracker, which falls and breaks. Uncle Drosselmeyer bandages the doll and returns it to Clara, who plays with it quietly. As a close to the evening&#8217;s festivities, the revered Stahlbaum Grandparents begin their annual holiday dance. All join in. The hour is late, and the guests begin their goodbyes. Fritz and Clara go upstairs to their bedrooms, and the house quiets down. Soon, Clara descends the steps, searching for her nutcracker doll. As the clock strikes 12, she settles on the sofa and falls asleep with the doll in her arms. As Clara dreams, her mind whirls with the memories of the evening. Deep within her dream, Uncle Drosselmeyer appears and mends the nutcracker doll. Clara wakens into her dream, and her house begins to change around her. The Christmas tree grows large and wondrous. Then mice appear, frightening Clara. But magically, her nutcracker doll fends off the mice. The Nutcracker summons the toy soldiers from the cupboard, and a battle ensues. The fierce Mouse King arrives and engages in a duel with the Nutcracker. Clara bravely aids the Nutcracker, who, though victorious, is overcome by exhaustion from the battle. Clara is worried, but Uncle Drosselmeyer consoles her, then transforms the Nutcracker into a dashing Prince. Clara and the Prince embark together on a magical journey through the Land of Snow. The Snow King and Snow Queen arrive and welcome Clara and the Prince. As snow continues to fall, snowflakes begin to dance. The King and Queen invite Clara and the Prince into the sleigh and send them off to their next adventure. ACT 2 The scene opens in the garden of a Crystal Palace where ladybugs, dragonflies, and butterflies dance. The Sugar Plum Fairy welcomes Clara and the Prince and asks them to tell her about their adventure that brought them to her world. The Prince recounts his tale of war with the Mouse King and describes Clara&#8217;s bravery. The Sugar Plum Fairy commands a festival, filled with dancing, to honor her guests. The celebration begins with Spanish flair. Exotic Arabians, whirling dancers from China, and lovely French Mirlitons perform for the guests. Sharing in the festivities are Russian entertainers and the famous Madame Du Cirque, who reveals many small surprises, including a dancing bear! In the final celebratory dance, the Sugar Plum Fairy joins in a glorious waltz with her court of flowers, dazzling Clara and the Prince. As the festivities draw to a close, the Sugar Plum Fairy and Uncle Drosselmeyer grant Clara her greatest Christmas wish and transform her into a beautiful woman to dance in the arms of her Prince. It is Christmas morning. Clara awakens, the nutcracker safe in her arms. SF Ballet (Courtesy of San Francisco Ballet).    </p>

<p>Calvary Presbyterian Church, San Francisco Bach Choir  </p>
<p>   The San Francisco Bach Choir website offers this welcome: Welcome the season with our traditional blend of charming carols and majestic works from early German masters Michael Praetorius and Heinrich Schütz. Multiple choirs will surround you with glorious music—both ancient and familiar—and brighten the winter darkness with candlelight, processions and joyful singing. Invite your friends and order early! with Erica Schuller, soprano Saturday, December 5, 8PM / Sunday, December 6, 4PMCalvery Presbyterian Church,  Fillmore &amp; Jackson, SF </p>
<p>Sharon Gustavson of the San Francisco Bach Choir, calls this an evening of &#8220;majestic music.&#8221; She states the defining element of the choir&#8217;s work this way,and in so doing emphasizes how specific this evening is to the kind of music San Francisco Bach Choir performs:  &#8221;This is our niche work.&#8221; She adds, &#8220;This is one of our traditional concerts.&#8221; </p>
<p>    Grace Cathedral Christmas   </p>
<p>Grace Cathedral announces on their website: “Bring the whole family for a merry sing-along at Grace Cathedral! Join the festive Pacific Boychoir in singing your favorite carols of the holiday season. There will also be a special surprise guest in red velvet!”   Spokeswoman for Grace Cathedral tells, Pacific Boychoir played at last year’s Family sing-along.   So the ensemble is back after 2008, and the Spokeswoman adds, “The event sold out in 2008, so we added a second show in 2009, on Dec. 12 and Dec. 19. I did not take an audience poll, so can’t say for sure whether the choir made it a hit or what the favorite song was. I suspect it was the format of the event that made it successful – it is one-hour in length; it features songs that everyone knows at least the first verse to (&amp; printed lyrics are provided for all songs &amp; verses); and it starts at the family-friendly time of 11 a.m. (before kids’ afternoon naps).”This quote on the Boychoir:   Based in Oakland, the Pacific Boychoir participates in a very old tradition, as boychoirs have been around for hundreds of years, dating back at least to the fourth century. The chorus was formed in 1998 with 6 boys, and it now includes more than 100 singers from ages 7 to 17. The Pacific Boychoir&#8217;s reputation for excellence has earned performances with the San Francisco Symphony, the San Francisco Opera, the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, the UC Berkeley and Davis Symphonies, American Bach Soloists, and many others.Dates and TimesSaturday, December 12, 11:00 amSaturday, December 19, 11:00 am   </p>

<p>  St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Berkeley, California Bach Society  </p>
<p>Be sure to arrive early to get a good seat, so it is recommended by one Church member of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Berkeley, who has attended the California Bach Society event.   This year’s event will take place at the Church on December 6, 2009 at 4 p.m, located at 2300 Bancroft Way (at Ellsworth), Berkeley. (Doors open 30 minutes prior to each performance.)   Wieneke Gorter Spokeswoman for the Society reports, “St. Mark&#8217;s is a pretty church with absolutely wonderful acoustics. We love performing in there. Our concerts at this church attract music lovers of every age and background, but especially people who are interested in choral music and/or early music.”     . The Bach Society website says of the program:   The California Bach Society welcomes the holidays with a program from 17th century Northern Germany.Performed in the order prescribed for Advent Vespers, the 30-voice chamber choir will present a richly varied program of intricate polyphony, hymns, and splendid double choruses. Artistic Director Paul Flight explains: “The beauty of this program lies in the contrast between the simple and the complex. On the one hand, we will sing a number of well-known Lutheran hymns. By contrast, the majority of the pieces we will perform are elaborately worked out renditions of these hymn tunes. One can only marvel at the skills of the North German composers, Schütz, Schein, Scheidt, and Praetorius, as they develop every musical possibility inherent in the tune.&#8221;   A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols Also coming up at St. Mark’s, Berkeley is a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, Sunday, December 20, 2009, 4:30 p.m.   This service was originally instituted at Truro Cathedral in Cornwall, England, based on a medieval vigil service.  It was modified in the early twentieth century by the Very Rev. E.M. Millner-White, dean of King&#8217;s College Chapel, Cambridge, England.    Since then, it has been sung annually in King&#8217;s College Chapel on Christmas Eve, and here at St. Mark&#8217;s since 1942. The service opens with the traditional carol “Once in royal David&#8217;s city,” a bidding prayer, and the Lord&#8217;s Prayer.    The story continues with the promise to Abraham, the assurance of the prophet Isaiah, the calling of Mary, the birth of Jesus, and ends with St. John&#8217;s unfolding of the great mystery of the Incarnation.  Carols, familiar and unfamiliar, are sung throughout the service. The service is held in candlelight and a festive reception follows in Hodgkin Hall.        Kosher Comedy at Christmas in San Francisco   The official press release says of Kung Pao Christmas event, and here it is in part:   Come celebrate Christmas the Jewish Way—in a Chinese restaurant with Jewish comedy. Now celebrating its 17th year, Kung Pao Kosher Comedy™ continues to provide an answer to the age-old question, “What are Jews supposed to do on Christmas?” What started out as a joke by San Francisco-based Jewish stand-up comic, Lisa Geduldig, has become an institution in San Francisco annually giving 3000 comedy aficionados and those escaping “Christmas-mania” an alternative to Jingle Bells. It’s the Bar Mitzvah you never had—and you don’t have to be Jewish to enjoy it.   Kung Pao Kosher Comedy™ was created in 1993 by accident by comedian Lisa Geduldig, who went to perform outside Northampton, Massachusetts at what she thought was going to be a comedy club. She arrived only to discover that The Peking Garden Club was actually a Chinese Restaurant, not a comedy club. Her ironic experience of telling Jewish jokes at a Chinese restaurant led to the idea behind and creation of Kung Pao.   The event began as a community service for Jews who have been stuck on Christmas with nothing to do but hide under the covers or go to a Chinese restaurant. The audience has expanded to include Chinese-Jewish couples, interfaith ones, singles, families, gays, straights, those far from home, and generally those who not only are seeking an alternative to Christmas alienation but who also like comedy mixed with Chinese food. One of Kung Pao’s claims to fame is that Henny Youngman performed his last shows there, in 1997.     Celebrate Christmas with Chinese food and Jewish comedy. So the website of Kung Pao Kosher Comedy offers. The dates for performance are December 24 through the 27, 2009.     </p>
<p>Two of the comedians commented for this writer via email:   Brian Malow was asked:Why are you doing this at Christmas time? Well, I&#8217;m not a Christian nor have I ever been so you won&#8217;t find me celebrating Christmas in any sort of traditional manner (for example, frantic last-minute guilt-inspired shopping sprees).  I am Jewish.  What&#8217;s a Jew to do on Christmas?  If there&#8217;s not a new Woody Allen movie playing in theaters, what better or more appropriate way to celebrate the season than with copious amounts of Chinese food and Jewish comedy? Plus, I&#8217;ve never worked with Jonathan Katz so I&#8217;m really looking forward to it!   </p>
<p>    </p>
<p>Hilary Schwartz was asked:   Why are you doing this at Christmas time?I&#8217;m doing this at Christmas time because my Christian friends asked me tomake other plans. Anyhow, who else but a Jew would work on Christmas?       </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CAMPAIGN TO BAN THE SONG VINCENTAll music is no good proven. All music is no good, as it is proven that God exists, and that hell is a reality, the people who produce music, who perform music, don&#8217;t care that music is persecuting people in hell. This is proven as it is noticed that there is a thought in a song &#8220;there is hope for all to find peace.&#8221;  As the people who produce music, who perform music, know God as a person and a friend, know that hell is a reality, they have never objected to hell, they have never campaigned for hell to stop, they have never expressed a desire that they wish the people in hell to find peace. Hell can be &#8220;eternal insomnia&#8221;, &#8220;eternal mental disturbance&#8221; and &#8220;eternal persecution of mind&#8221;, and Christ-God says in the Bible that hell consists of these things.As the people who produce music, perform music, don&#8217;t want to stop hell, but beleive in hell, I am starting a campaign to stop hell, and as a means of starting a campaign to stop hell I am calling for the song Vincent to be banned by radio stations as it is presecuting a person in hell, Vincent Van Gogh.- God&#8217;s Will To Persecution- Campaigns To Stop Hell And Abolish Psychiatry- People In Hell- The Reality Of Hell- Campaign For The Abolition Of Psychiatry- The Abolition Of Psychiatry Can Lead To The Liberation Of All People- The Ballet Reveals God&#8217;s Power And The Politics Of Deceit- God Believes In Hell, Eternal Damnation- Music Is No Good- The Song Vincent- The History Of Hell, Eternal Damnation- Eternal Persecution- Hell, Eternal Damnation- Is He In Heaven Or Is He In Hell- Possession Is The Causation Of Mental Disturbance- Words Have Meaning- An Analysis Of Some More Words To Show That Words Have Meaning- That There Is No Such Thing As Mental Illness Is Revealed By Words___________________________________________________________GOD&#8217;S WILL TO PERSECUTION Thinking of the Amish, and thinking of Vincent Van Gogh, reveals God&#8217;s will to persecution. First of all, in talking about the Amish, I have to make it clear that I don&#8217;t like the Amish as they believe in hell. Since I discovered that the Amish believe in hell, I don&#8217;t like the Amish. I never believed in hell myself, and now that it is proven that God exists, and that hell is a reality, I don&#8217;t like the Amish as they say they believe in hell. Otherwise, the Amish can be thought of as being anarchistic, in that they object to all war and militarism, and don&#8217;t want to be part of mainstream society, but want to live independently of society in general in their own world so to speak. The truth is though that the Amish are not truly anarchistic but are religious people who know God exists and know God as a person and a friend, and who are part of God&#8217;s plan. The Amish have realised their dream so to speak, they have their own portion of the world where they can live according to their beliefs, generally in independence from the rest of the world.Therefore, as we realise that God exists, and we realise that the Amish have realised their dream, that they own their own economic developments, that they have their own portion of the world, and that that has been made possible by God, we can ask, why not Vincent Van Gogh then.Vincent Van Gogh was a lonely individualist, a painter, with a vision and a dream. He had the vision, the dream of establishing a community of artists. But whilst Vincent Van Gogh was an inspired and great painter, his dream of establishing a community of artists was not realised. The truth is that God made Vincent Van Gogh what he was with a view to persecuting him, and this reveals God&#8217;s will to persecution. It was God who inspired Vincent Van Gogh to be a great painter, but whilst inspiring him to be a great painter God also indulged his will to persecute him. God tormented Vincent Van Gogh all his life. God was always tormenting and annoying Vincent Van Gogh. God caused Vincent Van Gogh&#8217;s mental disturbance with possession and various interferences in his mind, and God drove Vincent Van Gogh to suicide.Therefore, as we realise that God exists, and that disciples of God such as the Amish have realised their dream, and are part of God&#8217;s plan, and as we realise also that God choose Vincent Van Gogh to be a receptor of his inspiration, why then was Vincent Van Gogh who was inspired by God also persecuted by God. Why did God facilitate the Amish realising their dream, but God didn&#8217;t want Vincent Van Gogh to realise his dream.It is because God has a will to persecution, and indulges his will to persecution. The truth is that God is a statist-royalist-capitalist-militarist-paramilitarist. This is the true nature of God. It is important to show that God is a statist-militarist-paramilitarist for example. This reveals that God is involved in statism, militarism, paramilitarism. As we now realise that God planned all of history, and invented all things on this earth, we realise that God invented militarism and military thinking, that God invented statism, God invented the aspects of the structure of state power such as the military, the police, the parliament, the judiciary etc, that God likes militarism and statism. This reveals the true nature of God as a politically involved being. God is also involved in political deceit. God&#8217;s crucifixion by the political state was obviously an exercise in deceit by God. God had himself crucified by his own friends the political state to possibly convey a deceitful impression to subsequent history that he was not a statist. This was a deceit by God. God&#8217;s other main deceit is phoney socialism. God is an anti-socialist and God invented phoney socialist ideology such as marxism. Phoney socialism is capitalism in disguise, and is a strategy to isolate true socialism from attaining economic power. True socialism has no economic power in the world.The truth therefore is that God is a statist-militarist-paramilitarist and he doesn&#8217;t like people who don&#8217;t like his military-paramilitary mind and seeks to persecute such people. Vincent Van Gogh was typical of the type of person God didn&#8217;t like, he was an easy going person with a dream and a vision, but wasn&#8217;t interested in God&#8217;s statism-militarism-paramilitariism, and God hated him and persecuted him because he wasn&#8217;t interested in God&#8217;s military-paramilitary mind. God inspired Vincent Van Gogh to be what he was, with a view to persecuting him, and God whilst inspiring him to be a painter also persecuted during his lifetime. And after Vincent Van Gogh died he was sent to hell by God and Vincent Van Gogh is still in hell being persecuted by God, and therefore we need a campaign to free Vincent Van Gogh from hell and to free all people from hell.It is people such as Vincent Van Gogh and also true socialists who are in hell. God also has a will to persecute true socialists. True socialism, the true nature of the political concept of socialism, is not phoney socialism, does not think according to the oppressive, immoral, undemocratic and deceitful ideas of phoney socialism such as marxism, but is a moral democratic philosophy that desires some economic power independently of capitalism. As such true socialism, true socialists, would desire to attain something such as the Amish have, its own economic developments, its own portion of the world. But true socialism hasn&#8217;t attained any economic power in the world because God is not a friend of true socialism and God hasn&#8217;t allowed the existence of an independent angel who would be a friend of true socialism, and realise independent economic power for true socialism.Therefore the Amish can also be perceived to be part of God&#8217;s plan to persecute the true socialist mind, an idea of God&#8217;s will to persecution, for the true socialist knowing that God exists, and realising that you need heavenly power and friendship, either that of God or an independent angel, to realise the attainment of economic power, realises that God has made this possible for his own people, the Amish, who are not truly anarchist or socialist, but who are part of God&#8217;s design, who pretend not to like God&#8217;s military-paramilitary mind, but who must like God&#8217;s military-paramilitary mind as they worship God, but that God doesn&#8217;t want true socialism to realise itself by attaining economic power according to the idea of equality of economic developments for all traditions. God is an anti-socialist who doesn&#8217;t want true socialism to have power, and true socialism doesn&#8217;t have any economic power in the world.This reveals God&#8217;s will to persecution and it is people such as Vincent Van Gogh and true socialists who are in hell. As God exists, as hell is a reality, we therefore need a campaign to stop hell, and to free all people from hell. As a means of starting a campaign to stop hell, as Vincent Van Gogh is in hell, I am calling for the song &#8220;Vincent&#8221; to be banned by radio stations as it is persecuting a person such as Vincent Van Gogh in hell. </p>
<p>___________________________________________________________CAMPAIGNS TO STOP HELL AND TO ABOLISH PSYCHIATRYI want to start campaigns to stop hell and to abolish psychiatry. These campaigns are complementary In the sense that they are based on the proven existence of God. That is to say, as it is proven that God exists, then we realise that hell is made possible by God’s power, by the power of God, that God is the reason for hell. Therefore, as that is true, as that is proven, we need a campaign to convey to God that hell, sproven existence of God. Basically, this is to say, as it is proven that God exists, then we can simply say that there is no need for psychiatry, for as God exists, we realise that God can pacify the human mind. Therefore, we need a campaign to convey this to God, to convey to God that God should share his power and knowledge with all people, so that all people can have peaceful minds and that therefore there is no need for psychiatry.As it is proven that God exists, therefore hell exists, as God says there is hell, eternal damnation, and God hasb&#8217;t said there is hell, eternal damnation. Eternal damnation, hell for eternity, is a very serious things, eternal damnation can mean that people in hell can never be at rest and have peace of mind. Hell, eternal damnation, can consist ofs for example eternal insomnia, eternal mental disturbance, eternal persecution of  mind, eternal unquenchable thirst. Hell, eternal damnation, is inhumane and we need a campaign to stop hell, to free all people from hell.God is a miitary-paramilitary mind and hates people who don&#8217;t like his military-paramilitary mind. Vincent Van Gogh was typical of the kind of person God hates.  He was an ordinary person, an easy-going person, who simply wanted to live in peace in the world, by forming a community of artists, and desired to be free of the military mind of God. The military-paramilitiary mind of God, and those who indulge the military-paramilitary mind of God, is alwasy planning and manipulating and seeks to inflict itself on those that don&#8217;t want it.  God hates people who don&#8217;t like his militiary-paramilitary mind, and Vincent Van Gogh was such a person, and God out of hatrred of Vincent Van Gogh wouldn&#8217;t leave VIncent Van Gogh alone and was always annoying him. God possessed Vincent Van Gogh and drove him to suicide. Vincent Van Gogh was sent to hell by God after he died and God is continuing to persecute Vincent Van Gogh in hell.As a means of starting a campaign to stop hell I am calling for the song “Vincent” to be banned by radio stations for the following reasons.- The song “Vincent” is persecuting Vincent Van Gogh in hell.- The idea that the song “Vincent” is perceived to be a beautiful song about a tormented soul is persecuting Vincent Van Gogh.- Vincent Van Gogh in hell feels there is a persecuting symbolism in his own name.- Banning The song “Vincent” will be an indication to Vincent Van Gogh in hell and to all people in hell that a campaign has been started to free him and all people from hell. (1) The Song “Vincent” Is Persecuting Vincent Van Gogh In Hell.In calling for the song “Vincent” to be banned we have to examine God’s will to persecution, that the nature of God is that he has a will, a strategy, to persecute a person such as Vincent Van Gogh. There are ideas in the song “Vincent” which illustrate that God has a will to persecute Vincent Van Gogh. Vincent Van Gogh is in hell, and realises that the song Vincent was written about him, but also realises that nothing has been done to free him from hell, and therefore the song Vincent is persecuting him in hell. We can analyse ideas in the song Vincent to illustrate this.First of all, let’s briefly look at some of the things that hell could consist of. Hell could consist of unquenchable thirst. Hell could be insomnia. Hell could be mental disturbance. Hell could be persecution of mind. These things could constitute hell, and hell for eternity, is what is called eternal damnation, and that means that these things would be for eternity, would be eternal.Therefore hell as eternal damnation would be eternal unquenchable thirst, eternal insomnia, eternal mental disturbance, eternal persecution. These things, as being some constituents of what hell is, of what hell could be, are emphasised by Christ-God in the Bible. He says hell consists of “unquenchable thirst” and he says people in hell “will never rest, will never have peace of mind“, and never being able to rest and have peace of mind would be for instance to have eternal insomnia, eternal mental disturbance, eternal persecution of mind.Let’s analyse some of the ideas in the song “Vincent” to see how those ideas are persecuting Vincent Van Gogh in hell(a)  “Starry starry night.”  The idea of “starry starry night” is to reveal God as being an undemocratic nihilist. God is an undemocratic nihilistic if he doesn’t desire to share his power with all people, if he doesn’t desire that all people have heavenly friendship. When you know for sure that God exists you have an insight into the power of God. The amazing power of God is revealed in one sense by thinking of the vastness of the universe, all the stars in the sky that God created, billions of galaxies in the universe that God created. Contemplating that, that God created the universe, simply by being God, simply with his mind, you therefore realise that that is the power of God, that God created the universe out of his mind, he simply made it be. Therefore, you realise from thinking about that, that it would be easy for God to share his power with all people. The true nature of political reality is that God exists, and that God has already shared his power with human beings. God has shared his power with the state and capitalism, and with people who believe in him as he says in the Bible, that is with people who believe in his statism and his capitalism. But for God to only share his power with some people and not with all people does not reveal a good God, and it is undemocratic and nihilistic that God doesn’t share his power with all people. To de democratic God must share his power with all people, all people must have heavenly friendship and heavenly power. And if God is undemocratic in that sense, and only desires to share his power with some people and not with all people, then God can be also deemed to be a nihilist, in that he created all human beings, but doesn’t care about all human beings, but only wants to be friends with and share his power with his chosen human beings, his chosen friends. Therefore, Vincent Van Gogh in hell interpreting the idea of God being an undemocratic nihilistic from the idea of “starry starry night” is being persecuted in hell, is suffering persecution of mind in hell from this idea, because he knows  that God exists, he knows that God is a friend of others, but he is in hell for eternity and realises that God doesn’t want to be a friend of his.(b) “Now I think I know what you tried to say to me.”  The song Vincent is perceived to be a beautiful song about a tormented soul, a misunderstood soul. The idea of Vincent Van Gogh being misunderstood is conveyed to us in the song. But as we now know for sure that God exists, and that it is proven that God invented all things on this earth, and the words for all things he created, we realise that inspiration from God is a reality. Therefore, a song such as Vincent was written, was inspired by God and we realise that it is God who is saying this “now I think I know.”  This idea therefore is persecuting Vincent Van Gogh in hell, because Vincent Van Gogh might think that God doesn’t understand him as it is said “now I think I know“. But upon reflection Vincent Van Gogh does realise that God understands him because he comes to a realisation that it was God who inspired him, that it was God who made him what he was, that it was God who made him like that. But this is persecution of Vincent Van Gogh in hell. Vincent Van Gogh in hell realises that it was God who inspired him to be a fabulous painter, but that God whilst he inspired him isn’t actually a friend of his, and has put him in hell. Therefore, this is the persecution of the mind of Vincent Van Gogh. Furthermore Vincent Van Gogh committed suicide. God possessed Vincent Van Gogh and drove him to suicide. Vincent Van Gogh was sent to hell after he died, and being in hell, he realises that it is the existence of God and the power of God that makes hell possible, he realises that he is in hell because God has put him in hell, he realises that God inspired him to be a painter but that God isn’t actually a friend of his but used him, and therefore he must also realise that it was God who drove him to suicide. As Vincent Van Gogh is thinking these thoughts in hell, he has a real sense of the will to persecution of God, he feels persecuted in hell because he feels that he was simply chosen by God to be persecuted.  As I say, it was God who drove Vincent Van Gogh to hell and this also relates to the need for psychiatry to be abolished, and for the true reason for mental disturbance to be revealed, that mental disturbance is not caused by an intrinsic mental illness, but is caused by possession by God and various interferences in the human mind by God.(c) “Frameless heads on nameless walls.” This idea in the song “Vincent” can make you think of an art gallery. Hell for Vincent Van Gogh could be to be reincarnated in one of his paintings in an art gallery. The real meaning of the word reincarnation is atomic restructuring. God can atomically restructure human beings in various ways and put them in invisible parallel dimensions. Therefore God could atomically restructure Vincent Van Gogh to the size of a pea for example and place him in an invisible parallel dimension in one of his own paintings in the art gallery. This would be hell for Vincent Van Gogh. Vincent Van Gogh is reincarnated in an invisible parallel dimension in one of his paintings in an art gallery and day after day people are coming into the art galley and looking at the painting and admiring the painting and don’t realise that Vincent Van Gogh is actually in hell there, they are looking at Vincent Van Gogh and don’t realise they are looking at Vincent Can Gogh, but Vincent Van Gogh reincarnated in one of his own such paintings is looking at them and can see them looking at him.  And in the evening the art gallery is closed and all evening and all might Vincent Van Gogh is alone in the art gallery, reincarnated in one of his own paintings, waiting for another day. And the cycle goes on and on day after day. Vincent Van Gogh being looked at in one of his own paintings during the day, and then alone in the gallery all of the evening and all of the night. And nobody is campaigning for Vincent Van Gogh to be freed from such hell. This is hell for Vincent Van Gogh and it goes on and on day after day. Vincent Van Gogh, being reincarnation in one of his own paintings in an art gallery, sees people who don&#8217;t have frames around their heads looking at him and not realising that he is reincarnated in hell This is what the expression &#8220;frameless heads on nameless walls&#8221; means.(2) That The Song &#8220;Vincent&#8221; Is Perceived To Be A Beautiful Song About A Tormented Soul Is Persecuting Vincent Van Gogh. The song Vincent is perceived to be a beautiful song about a tormented soul, the painter, Vincent Van Gogh, and the song is deliberately designed by God  that way to persecute Vincent Van Gogh in hell. As people perceive the song Vincent to be a beautiful song about a tormented soul, then you might think that this would generate interest in Vincent Van Gogh and sympathy for Vincent Van Gogh. When Vincent Van God first realised in 1971 that somebody had written a song about him, he, having died in 1896, had been in hell for 75 years. After being tormented in hell for 75 years, he might have thought when the song Vincent was published in 1971 that this would gain him recognition that he is in hell and that he should be freed from hell. But since 1971 nothing has been done to free Vincent Van Gogh from hell. Therefore, Vincent Van Gogh is suffering persecution of mind in hell, because he realises that the song Vincent was written about him, he realises that people think it is a beautiful song about a tormented soul, and that radio stations are continuing to play the song and that people are continuing to listen to the song and to think that about the song, think that it is a beautiful song about a tormented soul, but nobody cares that he is still a tormented soul in hell, that he is still being tormented and persecuted in hell. Therefore, as we realise that Vincent Van Gogh is being persecuted as such in hell, we do need a campaign to stop hell, to free Vincent Van Gogh and all people from hell, and I propose that the song Vincent be banned by radio stations as a means of starting a campaign to stop hell, a campaign to free Vincent Van Gogh and all people from hell. (3) Vincent Van Gogh Thinks There Is A Persecuting Symbolism In His Own Name.Vincent Van Gogh is in hell and realises God’s will to persecution. He thinks of his own name “Gogh”, and he perceives a persecuting symbolism in his own name that was deliberately invented by God, the letters “Gogh” symbolising “hatred of God.” Obviously Vincent Van Gogh or anybody else in hell would feel that God hates him, and would think that God had no right to create him as an existing human being and then put him in hell.(4)  Banning The Song “Vincent” Will Be An indication To Vincent Van Gogh In Hell And To All People In Hell That A Campaign Has Been Started To Free Him And All People From Hell. Banning the song Vincent will be a indication to a person such as Vincent Van Gogh, and to all people in hell, that somebody cares and that somebody wants to stop hell. People in hell feels isolated and persecuted because they feel that nobody cares. Banning the song “Vincent” will be a start at starting a campaign to stop hell, and will be an indication to people in hell that somebody cares and wants to stop hell, to free them from hell.___________________________________________________________PEOPLE IN HELLI want to start a campaign to stop hell and to abolish psychiatry. As means of starting such a campaign I am seeking for the song “Vincent” to be banned by radio stations as it is persecuting a person in hell, Vincent Van Gogh. There are people in hell. I know the nature of God and he believes in hell. He has said that he believes in hell, eternal damnation and he hasn’t said that he doesn’t believe in hell, eternal damnation. There are people in hell, and Vincent Van Gogh could be in hell. I’m not sure if Vincent Van Gogh is in hell, but there are people in hell, and we can use the banning of the song “Vincent” as a means of starting a campaign to stop hell.  I don’t know if Vincent Van Gogh is in hell but Vincent Van Gogh could be in hell. Let’s look at the interpretations.Interpretation &#8211; Vincent Can Gogh Isn’t in Hell.There are people in hell, but Vincent Van Gogh isn’t in hell. It is unlikely that God would put a famous person in hell, a person such as Vincent Van Gogh, who is perceived to have been a tormented soul, and who had what is perceived to be a beautiful song written about him, as this could generate thoughtfulness about hell among people. Therefore, it is unlikely that God would have put Vincent Van Gogh in hell, But there are people in hell, and if Vincent Van Gogh isn’t in hell, the song “Vincent” should still be banned as the banning of the song “Vincent” would be an indication to people in hell that somebody cares and that somebody wants to stop hell.Interpretation &#8211; Vincent Van Gogh Is In HellVincent Van Gogh was obviously mentally disturbed. The truth is that he was mentally disturbed by God, he was possessed by God, and possession and interference in peoples’ minds by God is the real causation of mental disturbance, and mental illness, the attribution that an intrinsic mental illness is the causation of mental disturbance, does not actually exist but is a mystification used by the God and the state to cover up the truism that God is the causation of mental disturbance as I explain in this document. It was God who possessed Vincent Van Gogh and made him cut off his own ear, and it was God who drove Vincent Van Gogh to suicide. That was the persecution of Vincent Van Gogh by God while he was alive on earth, and the persecution of Vincent Van Gogh has continued after his death, for when he died he was sent to hell by God and is still being persecuted by God in hell, as that is the nature of God. God says there is hell, eternal damnation, God believes in hell, eternal damnation, and God hasn’t said that there isn’t hell, eternal damnation.All artists, writers, musicians etc are inspired from heaven, are inspired by God. If you might think that God isn’t the only inspirer from heaven, then you consider the idea of ‘free will among angels‘. But I, knowing God’s obsessive planning mind, and having the insight that God wants to do it all himself, don’t think there is free will among angels, The devil is thought of as being an angel with free will who objects to God. But the devil is a fictional idea created by God to be used as an excuse to send people to hell. As it is proven that God exists, then people who are isolated from God, people whom God is not a friend of, inevitably desire and need the friendship of an independent angel, a heavenly being such as an independent angel with heavenly power, as God is not a friend of such people. But such people don’t want or need the friendship of the mythical figure of the devil, as the devil has been fictionally associated with evil in history by God, and being associated with the devil, having the friendship of the devil, would only be used as a tactic, an excuse, by God to send people to hell. God, having more power than the devil could easily put the devil in hell, and could easily put people associated with the devil in hell, people who would be friends of the devil if the devil existed, and therefore it would not be in the interests of people who are isolated from God to be associated with the devil. If the devil, an independent angel, did exist, he would have to be good or otherwise he could be sent to hell for eternity. Furthermore, re the idea of ‘free will among angels’, we have the word “waffle”, and this suggests that there isn’t free will among angels, that there is no such thing as independent angels that have free will independently of God. As angels do exist, all angels are likely to be manifestations of the one and only God, as it is unlikely that God has allowed the existence of independent angels.Therefore, as it is unlikely that independent angels exists, it must have been God who inspired Vincent Van Gogh. Therefore you might say, that as it was God who inspired Vincent Van Gogh to be a fabulous painter, that therefore God would not put Vincent Van Gogh in hell. But there are people in hell, and God does put people in hell, and therefore we have to examine God’s will to persecution, and it is possible that God could have inspired Vincent Van Gogh and then have put Vincent Van Gogh in hell, because God has a will to persecution, God likes to persecute the minds of such people.The truth about God is that he is a statist-royalist-capitalist-militarist-paramilitarist. God is a military-paramilitary mind, the military and the paramilitary are the same thing. And the truth about God is that he doesn’t like people who don’t like his military-paramilitary mind and will seek to persecute them. Vincent Van Gogh has been described as being a christian communist, and obviously therefore he misinterpreted Christ. God being a statist-royalist-militarist-paramilitarist has always persecuted the anarchistic-socialistic-communistic type of person. The philosophy of marxism for instance was invented by God to deceive and manipulate this type of person, it was actually an anti-socialist philosophy and strategy, a philosophy of political deceit, a Royalist conspiracy, and it was a dehumanising, immoral, undemocratic philosophy that didn‘t seek to humanise the socialist person by inspiring moral democratic inspiration in the socialist mind. As such the anarchistic-socialistic-communistic mind was deceived and misled by God and it is such people who are in hell. Vincent Van Gogh as being a person that God didn’t like because Vincent Van Gogh didn’t like militarism-paramilitarism, and not realising that God who inspired him is a military-paramilitary mind, could have been sent to hell by God after his death as God has a will to persecute such people.Vincent Van Gogh therefore could be in hell being persecuted by God, being in hell for eternity, knowing that God inspired him to be a fabulous painter but realising that God used him and is not actually a friend of his, realising that God has written a song about him “Vincent” that people think is a beautiful song about a tormented soul such as he Vincent Van Gogh was, and Vincent Van Gogh, perceiving that people think that, is in a state of persecution and consternation in hell because he is actually in hell while people are admiring a song written about him, but people haven’t campaigned for him to be freed from hell. Vincent Van Gogh could also feel persecuted in hell, by realising that he is in hell for eternity and that the pictures he painted are being sold for millions of pounds.HumanityTherefore it is true that there is such a thing as hell, that God believes in hell, eternal damnation. Therefore we need a campaign to stop hell, a campaign to convey to God that hell must be stopped, and that people who are in hell must be freed. I ask you therefore to consider the humanity of people in hell, and to therefore agree with me that there should be a campaign to stop hell, and that a means of starting such a campaign would be to ban the song “Vincent” from being played on the radio, as this would send a signal to people in hell, be an indication to people in hell, that somebody cares and that somebody wants to stop hell.Music is thought to be humane in various ways, but how can music be thought to be humane as it is inspired by God, this God who also puts people in hell, who says he believes in hell, eternal damnation. How can music be good, how can music be thought to be humane. And in recognition that people who produce music, people who perform music know God as a person and a friend, and haven’t objected to God about hell, I have come to the view that music is no good, that music is of no use. See the section below “Music Is No Good.”So I hope you consider this, that music is not necessarily good, and that music will always be inhumane if hell isn’t stopped. I hope you consider this and appreciate that we need a campaign to stop hell.I hope therefore that you support this campaign to stop hell and agree that the song &#8220;Vincent&#8221; should be banned by radio stations as a means of starting this campaign to stop hell, and that the banning of the song will be indication to people in hell that somebody cares and that somebody wants to stop hell and to free such people from hell.___________________________________________________________THE REALITY OF HELL- God Must Be Made To Understand That Hell, Eternal Damnation, Is Unacceptable.- Only Those Who Believe In Him Attain Heaven &#8211; God Is An Undemocratic Nihilist- Torments In Hell- Hell Is Eternal &#8211; Eternal Damnation____________________________________________________________It is proven that God exists, and therefore hell exists. Hell is a reality. God believes in hell, he says there is hell and he hasn&#8217;t said that there isn&#8217;t hell. ___________________________________________________________GOD HAS TO UNDERSTAND THAT HELL, ETERNAL DAMNATION IS UNACCEPTABLELook at these things that God says about hell. God must be made to understand that he has no right to create human beings and put them in hell. God must be made to understand this. He is abusing his power and he God is a horrible, inhumane, arrogant, selfish person.Have you read the passages below about what he says about hell in the Bible.  Truly horrible, a truly horrible person God is. How can you admire him. He has no right to create human beings and put them to hell. And he should be made to understand that. Do you see his hatred of humanity when he says “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?&#8221; “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire.”Do you see these references to unquenchable thirst below. You can imagine what that would be like, eternal unquenchable thirst. Now the Christ-God must be made to understand that this is unacceptable. Hell could also be “eternal insomnia” and “eternal mental disturbance” so that people in hell could never be rest, be at peace, and have peace of mind, and he says that in the Bible, that people in hell will never rest and have peace of mind. _____________________________________________________________GOD IS AN UNDEMOCRATIC NIHILIST &#8211; ONLY THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM ATTAIN HEAVEN Therefore God is an undemocratic nihilist, and those that believe in him are undemocratic nihilists. Why should we worship an undemocratic nihilist, when it would be easy for him God to share his power with all people.John 1:12                    ‘But as many as received them, to them he gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe in his name.’John 3:15That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but shall have eternal life.John 5:24Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.________________________________________________________TORMENTS IN HELLMatthew 8:12: &#8220;&#8230;there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.&#8221;Matthew 13:42: &#8220;&#8230; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.&#8221;Matthew 13:50: &#8221; there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.&#8221;Matthew 25:30 &#8220;&#8230; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.Matthew 3:12 (unquenchable fire)&#8221;And His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.&#8221;  (See also Luke 3:17.)Matthew 8:12&#8243;But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness&#8230;&#8221;Matthew 18:8 (eternal fire)&#8221;And if your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the eternal fire,&#8221; Matthew 13:42&#8243;And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.&#8221;Matthew 25:41&#8243;Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.&#8221; This passage relates to &#8220;Christ-God‘s&#8221;&#8216; hatred of humanity..Mark 9:43-48 (unquenchable fire)&#8221;And if your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire. Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter half into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched. Where their worm dieth not, and their fire is not quenched.  And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Where their worm dieth not and their fire is not quenched.&#8221;  The word &#8220;unquenchable&#8221; is &#8220;asbestos&#8221; in the Greek.  According to the enhanced Strong&#8217;s lexicon, it means &#8220;unquenchable, the eternal hell fire to punish the damned.&#8221;  The reference to fire is repeated three more times in the passage for emphasis.Mark 9:44-48 &#8220;Where their worm dieth not&#8230;&#8221; The immortal worm is repeated three times in this passage for emphasis. One point of interest is that the author of Mark refers to &#8220;their worm&#8221; not to &#8220;the worms.&#8221; That seems to imply that each prisoner has his own worm.Luke 16:23-26 (Extreme Thirst)&#8221;And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.&#8221;Luke 16:24&#8243;And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.&#8221; This is a plea described as coming from an inhabitant of Hell.Revelation 14:10 &#8220;&#8230;and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb.&#8221; The &#8220;Lamb&#8221; here refers to the &#8220;Christ-God&#8221;. It is not clear whether &#8220;Christ-God&#8221; and the angels are present as torturers or merely as observers.Revelation 20:13-15&#8243;&#8230;hell delivered up the dead which were in them&#8230;And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.&#8221;Revelation 21:8&#8243;But the fearful, and unbelieving &#8230; shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.&#8221; Brimstone is sulphur. In order for sulphur to form a lake, it must be molten. Thus, its temperature must be at or below 444.6 °C or 832 °F.____________________________________________________HELL IS ETERNAL &#8211; ETERNAL DAMNATION Matthew 25:46&#8243;And these shall go away into everlasting punishment.&#8221;Matthew 10:28 &#8220;And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.&#8221; This passage would seem to imply that an individual would not spend eternity in Hell, but would be annihilated after residing there for a while.Matthew 13:40-42 &#8220;As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.&#8221; This, and the following passage could be interpreted either as sudden annihilation or as eternal punishment. Matthew 13:49-50 &#8220;So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.&#8221;Matthew 22:13&#8243;&#8230;take him away, and cast him into outer darkness.&#8221;Matthew 23:33 &#8220;Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?&#8221;Matthew 25:30 &#8220;And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.&#8221; The darkness seems incompatible with the fire of Hell mentioned elsewhere in the Gospel.Matthew 25:41 &#8220;Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:&#8221; This passage also could be interpreted as sudden annihilation, or as eternal torture of the individuals thrown into the fire.The unquenched fire is mentioned three times in this passage for emphasis.Mark 3:29 &#8220;But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.&#8221; (KJV)He describes Hell as a place of eternal torment and torture. It is a place of eternal fire, where worms are continuously present. Presumably, the fire is hot enough to cause considerable pain, and the worms eat the flesh of the residents of Hell. He repeats the passage three times for emphasis: Mark 9:43-48 &#8220;And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:  Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.&#8221; (KJV)(This appears to be the earliest reference to Hell in the New Testament.)Revelation 14:11&#8243;And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.&#8221; Revelation 20:10&#8243;And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever,&#8221;_______________________________________________________REVELATION The Book of Revelations describes a God who hates humanity. God’s unlovingness and his hatred of humanity is revealed in the Book of Revelations. Some references in Revelation which deal with Hell are: Revelation 14:9-11 &#8220;And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night&#8230;&#8221; The author appears to be describing an endless torture scene, with angels and &#8220;Christ-God&#8221; present either as observers or as officials who are directing the torture. Their precise role is unclear.Revelation 20:10 &#8220;And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.&#8221;(Here the horrible person God is trying to blame the non-existent devil. The devil was a fictional idea created by God to be used as an excuse to send people to hell.)Revelation 20:12-15 &#8220;And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.&#8221;___________________________________________________________ </p>

<p>CAMPAIGN FOR THE ABOLITION OF PSYCHIATRY- Campaign To Stop hell- To Start A Campaign To Stop Hell The Song Vincent should Be Banned By Radio Stations- As God Exists There In No Need For Psychiatry- We Need A Campaign For The Abolition Of PsychiatryCAMPAIGN TO STOP HELLAs it is proven God exists, and the power of God exists, and therfore that hell exists, as God has said that there is hell, eternal damnation, and God has not said that there isn&#8217;t hell, eternal damnation, we need a campaign to stop hell. To start such a campaign to stop hell, I propose that the song &#8220;Vincent&#8221; should be banned by radio stations, that it should not be played on radio staions, as it is persecuting a person ih hell, Vincent Van Gogh.TO START A CAMPAIGN TO STOP HELL THE SONG &#8220;VINCENT&#8221; SHOULD BE BANNED BY RADIO STATIONSI want to start a campaign to stop the playing of the song “Vincent” on radio stations, to have the song banned &#8211; to start a campaign to stop hell. The song is about the painter Vincent Van Gogh, and Vincent Van Gogh is in hell, and therefore the song is persecuting him as he is in hell. The song should be banned as an aspect of starting a campaign to stop hell, and to free all people that are in hell.Vincent Van Gogh is in hell. He was persecuted by God on earth, God made him cut off his own ear and drove him to suicide, and the persecution of Vincent Van Gogh is continuing in hell. Vincent Van Gogh went to hell after his death and the persecution of Vincent Van Gogh is continuing in hell. It is God who did this to Vincent Can Gogh by means of possession and interfering in his brain. It is God who says there is hell, eternal damnation, God has said this, and God has not said that there isn’t hell, eternal damnation.Therefore, as we know that God exists, that the power of God exists, that it is possible for God to put people in hell as God exists and as the power of God exists, and as God has said there is hell, eternal damnation, and hasn’t said that there isn’t hell, eternal damnation, Vincent Van Gogh is in hell. God persecuted Vincent Can Gogh on earth and sent him to hell after his death and Vincent Van Gogh is in hell and being persecuted.You can’t prove to me that Vincent Van Gogh isn’t in hell, so therefore Vincent Van Gogh is in hell.Therefore, as Vincent Van Gogh is in hell and listening to a song written about him “Vincent”, the song “Vincent” is persecuting him in hell. Having died in 1896 he had been in hell for 75 years when the song “Vincent” was published in 1971. When Vincent Van Gogh in hell heard the song “Vincent” first in 1971 he might have then had a boost, a spur of inspiration, for after being in hell for 75 years, he thought when a song was written for him that it would be recognised that he is in hell, that this would get him recognition, and that there would be a campaign to free him from hell. But since the song Vincent was first aired in 1971 there has been no campaign to free Vincent Van Gogh from hell, and to free all people from hell.But I am now starting such a campaign because in the years 2007 and 2008 it has been revealed to me that God does exist. I now know for sure that God does exist as this has been revealed to me in the years 2007 and 2008. And also, not only now knowing for sure that God exists, I have realised that God is not a good God but says there is hell, eternal damnation, believes in hell, eternal damnation. God cannot be a good God as he believes in hell, eternal damnation. God has no right to create human beings with the view of putting them in hell for eternity. Any human being who would end up in hell for eternity would prefer not to have been created by God obviously, and would maintain the view that God had no right to create him as an existing human being. Therefore God has no right to create human beings and put them in hell. A good God wouldn’t create human beings with a view to putting them in hell.Therefore, as this is the nature of God, as God exists and as hell exists, we need a campaign to stop hell. Hell, eternal damnation is unacceptable, it is inhumane and it must be stopped. We need a campaign to stop hell, to seek absolute clarification from God that hell will be stopped, and that all people in hell will be freed from hell. We need such a campaign and we must have such a campaign.Therefore I am starting such a campaign and an idea has come to mind, that the song “Vincent” should be banned as it is mentally and emotionally persecuting a person in hell, Vincent Van Gogh.Vincent Van Gogh is in hell feeling persecuted, as he listens to the song “Vincent” being played on the radio, and knowing that people all over the world have heard the song and continue to hear the song when it is being played on the radio, and such people thinking it is a beautiful song, but he Vincent Van Gogh is in hell and people haven’t said that they want him freed from hell, haven’t started a campaign to set him free from hell. Vincent Van Gogh is in hell feeing persecuted, as people are going to art galleries and admiring his paintings but he is in hell, he is in hell observing people admiring his paintings but people haven’t said that he should be freed from hell. Can you imagine how he feels as his paintings are being sold for millions but he is in hell. This is persecution of Vincent Van Gogh, and the song “Vincent” isn’t of any use to Vincent Can Gogh. The song “Vincent” hasn’t freed Vincent Van Gogh from hell. I haven’t attained absolute clarification from God that hell has been stopped and that all people in hell have been freed from hell. Therefore the song “Vincent” is of no use to Vincent Van Gogh in hell, and the song “Vincent” is persecuting Vincent Van Gogh in hell. Therefore I am calling on you to stop playing the song “Vincent” on the radio, to ban the song from having airtime on the radio.If this is done, if it is declared that the song “Vincent” is being banned, this will be an indication to people in hell, to a person such as Vincent Van Gogh who is in hell that somebody cares, and that somebody wants to free him and all people from hell. Therefore, as a means of starting such an initiative, such a campaign, to stop hell, to seek absolute clarification from God that hell should be stopped, that hell will be stopped, that hell has then been stopped, and that all people have been freed from hell, the song “Vincent” should be banned from being played on radio stations.Do you agree that such a campaign to stop hell is necessary. It is possible that a person might think that such a song might be an emotional comfort to a person such as Vincent Van Gogh who is in hell, but I don’t think so. The song was originally published in 1971 and since then nothing has been done to stop hell. Therefore, I deem the song to be no use to Vincent Van Gogh and anybody else who is in hell. Therefore we need a campaign to stop hell, and banning the song “Vincent” from being played on the radio could be a means of starting a campaign to stop hell, to make people think about hell and to demand from God that hell must be stopped.I feel that Mary when she said to the children of Fatima “if only people would pray for the souls in hell”  was indulging hell by saying that. Mary should object to God about hell, Mary should say to God that hell is unacceptable. It is God who is responsible for hell, and who has no right to put people in hell, and Mary should tell God that he has no right to put people in hell, it should be made clear to God that God is abusing his power by putting people in hell and that he God has no right to put people in hell.Having said that, praying and maintaining silence would be preferable to taunting, provoking people in hell. And I’m one who knows that as I am in a form of hell on earth.AS GOD EXISTS THERE IS NO NEED FOR PSYCHATRY As we know that God exists and is living in the world and has shared his power with human beings, with the state and capitalism, then we know that there is no need for psychiatry.No other existing organisation which calls itself anti-psychiatry or which says it campaigns against psychiatry writes about the proven existence of God and God&#8217;s power. They don&#8217;t write about ballet. Ballet proves that there is no need for psychiatry.  Ballet dancers have God&#8217;s power, atomic power. They have the power and intelligence to perform ballet. They know how to be cool. They know how to control physiology, mind and body. God know obviously how to pacify the mind. Therefore there is no need for psychiatry. If God would share this knowledge with all human beings then there is no need for psychiatry.Organisations which call themselves anti-psychiatry or which say they campaign against psychiatry don&#8217;t write about this. They know that it would be easy for God to share his power with all people, they know that God created the universe, billions of galaxies. They know it would be easy for God to share his power with all people.They only have to talk about ballet, cool, to prove that there is no need for psychiatry, that God knows how to control human physiology, mind and body, that God can pacify the mind, that if God shared this knowledge with all people there would be no need for psychiatry.If they don&#8217;t want all people to attain heaven, knowing that it would be easy for God to share his power with all people, why don&#8217;t they desire to believe in a good God. If they believe in hell why don&#8217;t they desire to believe in a good God who clarifies that there is no such thing as hell, as eternal damnation. After all, we were all once little children cast into this world not of our own free will. A person in hell for et eternity would obviously desire never to have been cast into this world  God has no right to say there is hell, eternal damnation.It&#8217;s obvious that God exists, that God&#8217;s power exists, that there is no need for psychiatry. You only have to talk about ballet, cool to prove there is no need for psychiatry.WE NEED A CAMPAIGN FOR THE ABOLITION OF PSYCHIATRYWe need a campaign for the abolition of psychiatry based on the proven existence of God. As the existence of God is proven there is obviously no need for psychiatry as God knows how to pacify the mind and could share this knowledge with all people.If psychiatry was abolished, all people would know this, and all people could have God&#8217;s power.___________________________________________________________THE ABOLITION OF PSYCHIATRY CAN LEAD TO THE LIBERATION OF ALL PEOPLEThe abolition of psychiatry can lead to the liberation of all people on this earth. This is because it is known, it is proven that God exists. As it is proven that God exists, then there is no need for psychiatry because God exists, God&#8217;s intelligence exists, God’s power exists, and God can and has already shared his intelligence and power with human being, with the state and capitalism for instance.This is illustrated by the ballet. The remarkable feature about ballet dancers is that they are cool, that they can perform ballet with perfect control of physiology, perfect control of mind and body, being perfectly relaxed and cool in that sense, and they can only do that by having the power and intelligence of God. Therefore the ballet was a gift by God to human beings such as the White Russians for instance, and this reveals the existence of God, the power of God, and the truism that God has shared his power with human beings.Therefore, as God exists, it is obvious that God can pacify the human mind and this is revealed by the ballet. That ballet dancers are cool, that they have perfect control of physiology, prefect relaxation of mind and body, reveals that with the power of God it is possible for the human mind to be pacified, to be peaceful, to be perfectly relaxed, that there is a solution to menial disturbance.Therefore, the abolition of psychiatry, to first of all reveal the existence of God and therefore the realisation that there is no need for psychiatry, and to therefore seek the abolition of psychiatry on the basis that there is no need for psychiatry as God exists, could lead to the liberation of all people on earth. This could lead to the liberation of all people on earth, because if all people know that God exists and therefore realise that there is no need for psychiatry, and therefore if psychiatry is abolished, then all people can demand, having being created as existing human beings by God, that they should therefore have the God&#8217;s power, atomic power. If all people have the power of God then they can have peace of mind as ballet dancers do, and there will be no need for psychiatry. In relation to the possible sharing of God&#8217;s power, atomic power, the equitable distribution of God&#8217;s power, atomic power, with all people, it will be necessary for God to create independent angels. As a person such as myself doesn&#8217;t like God, as God is an anti-socialist and I am a true socialist, as God never wanted to be a friend of mine having created me as an existing human being, but that as I can say to God, that as he created me as an existing human being but never wanted to share his power with me, and has shared his power with others, that I therefore don&#8217;t like him God but do desire to attain heavenly power, and therefore need the creation by God of an independent angel for me who will be a friend of mine.___________________________________________________________THE BALLET REVEALS GOD&#8217;S POWER AND THE POLITICS OF DECEIT &#8211; GOD&#8217;S STRATEGY OF POLITICAL DECEITThere are various things that reveal the politics of deceit, that so-called socialist philosophers such as Karl Marx were not socialists, but were phoney socialists, pretending to be socialists. As I show in this document, words have meanings. Whether you believe that God created words or that human beings created words, surely you realise that words were created to express, define, conceptualise things that exist. Therefore, as the Bible says, God created the light and called it day, God created the darkness and called it night. Therefore such words were created to define, conceptualise things that exist.We notice therefore that the words &#8220;conspiracy&#8221; and &#8220;deceit&#8221; exist. Why would these words exist unless there are such things as conspiracies and deceits. It is already accepted by people that there are such things as conspiracies and deceits. The philosophy of machiavellianism exists, and is a philosophy of the state that the state should adopt such strategies. A remarkable thing therefore, is that, as it is accepted that conspiracies and deceits exists, and as the philosophy of machiavellianism exists which is a philosophy of the state which advises the state to use such strategies, is why nobody has question why conspiracy and deceit wouldn&#8217;t apply to political philosophy. As conspiracies and deceits do exist, and as words are created to define, conceptualise, give meaning to things that do exist, then it wouldn’t be unreasonable anyway to question whether political philosophers such as Karl Marx were involved in political deceit.And the truth is that he was. Marxism is an ideological deceit and it is well know that marxism is an ideological deceit. The symbol of the mermaid and the word mermaid reveal this &#8211; maid=marxism an ideological deceit. The symbol of the mermaid reveals the power of God which makes the political of deceit possible.  Whether you know for sure that God exists or not, it is not given the analysis I make here unreasonable to postulate that there could be deceit in political philosophy, that a political philosopher such as Karl Marx was involved in political deceit, in ideological deceit, in philosophical deceit, and it is true that he was, and so were all the other famous so-called socialist philosophers. There were all phonies, they were all phoney socialists, they were all phoney socialist philosophers.There are various things that reveal phoney socialism and that is explained in my work &#8220;True Nature OF The Political Concept OF Socialism Revealed: A Constructive Liberal Democratic Socialist Philosophy That Liberates The True Nature Of the Political Concept OF Socialism From Phoney Socialism.&#8221; See Chapter 2 &#8220;Phoney Socialism&#8221;.And the ballet is one such thing that reveals the politics of deceit. As we have seen the ballet cannot be performed without the power and intelligence of God, and therefore we realise that God shared his power with the White Russians, that God was a friend of the White Russians. And that is why they are called White Russians, because they have the power and intelligence of God to be cool, to be able to control physiology, mind and body, and that is revealed by their performance of the ballet. As such they had the power of God, and used the philosophy of marxism as part of their strategy of political deceit, the Russian revolution of 1917 being a Royal conspiracy, and all revolutions are deceits, they are actually the continuation of the old order in disguise.__________________________________________________________GOD BELIEVES IN HELL ETERNAL DAMNATIONAs therefore the existence of God is proven, we realise that God is not necessarily a good God. A good God couldn&#8217;t possibly believe in hell, eternal damnation and would be abusing his power as God. Any human being in hell, or thinking of going to hell, can make the case to God that he wouldn’t&#8217; have wanted to have been created as an existing human being if he knew he would end up in hell for eternal, if he realised that he would suffer eternal damnation, hell for eternity. Therefore a God who says there is hell, who believes in hell, eternal damnation. Therefore, as we realise God exists, God is not necessarily a good God, and there is such a thing as hell, eternal damnation. God has also been involved in the politics of deceit, it was God who invented marxism for example, and this reveals Gods will to power and God&#8217;s will to political deceit. Therefore as we realise this of God, we need a campaign to stop hell, to convey to God that hell must be stopped, to seek absolute clarification from God that hell has been stopped, that there should be no such thing as hell, that there is no such thing as hell.___________________________________________________________MUSIC IS NO GOODI have come to the view that music is no good, that it is of no use. &#8211; Music is not necessarily intrinsically good in itself.- People Who Produce, Perform Music, Never campaigned that God’s power should be shared with all people.- People Who Produce, Perform Music, Never campaigned that Hell should be stopped.- People Who Produce, Perform Music, Never campaigned for the abolition of psychiatry.- Music is conveyed through the media monopoly of the political states of this world and capitalism.- Campaign.MUSIC IS NOT NECESSARILY INTRINICALLY GOOD IN INSELFMusic is not intrinsically good in itself.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The capital of the Dominican Republic is Santo Domingo. It was the first Spanish settlement in the Americas. Christopher Columbus initiated the first European New World settlement here in 1496. His legacy is preserved in the bricks and mortar of the historic old section of Santo Domingo, which has been turned into an entertaining and interesting Colonial theme.<br />
The South Coast contains some of the countries bigger cities and national parks.<br />
If any city in the world could be declared the perfect holiday destination, then Santo Domingo would probably be a prime candidate, with its modern sophistication, old world charm and Latin charisma, not to mention its position on the tropical southern Caribbean coast of the Dominican Republic.<br />
The only blight on the landscape is the crime rate robbery, muggings and petty theft are common so guard your belongings with care.<br />
It boasts the western hemispheres first cathedral, first monastery, first hospital, first university and first law court. This rich colonial heritage, sparked off in the 15th century by legendary Spanish explorer Christopher Columbus, has been turned into a World Heritage Site in the heart of the city, known as the Colonial City.<br />
The superb shopping, delicious dining, dazzling casinos, seductive parks and vibrant nightlife all beckon enticingly, from the monumental Columbus Lighthouse right down to the depths of nightclubs with multi level dance floors inside a real cave.<br />
The most modern memento to Santo Domingos status as the oldest European city in the Americas is a mammoth structure built on the eastern shore of the Ozama River in the early 1990s to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus arrival in the New World. The building is 693ft long and built in the shape of a cross at a 45degree angle. It houses what the Dominican Republic claims are the remains of Columbus himself and is fitted with intense lights which project the image of the cross into the sky at night. The monument was designed by English architect J L Gleave, who won an international competition for the design after 455 plans were submitted by architects from 48 different countries. The building is also the repository for numerous documents and artefacts associated with the early Spanish colonial times.<br />
The vast green square in the heart of Santo Domingo serves as the cities cultural and artistic showcase, being fronted by a cluster of four museums, as well as the National Theatre. The museums are the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of History and Geography, the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Dominican Man. The National Theatre runs a full programme of opera, ballet, music and drama productions. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Polarity/1, the multi-genre artist best known for bold, honest, hard-hitting songs, is releasing a brand new instrumental record titled Music From the Other Side. Fitting to the title, the album consists of smooth, jazzy tracks much different from louder albums like Yankin’ the Food Chain. Polarity/1&#8217;s music has been incorporated by dance theaters and documentarists, including Danny Schechter&#8217;s feature-length film documentary &#8216;In Debt We Trust and Battery Dance Company&#8217;s 26th Annual Downtown Dance Festival last year.Music From The Other Side is the soundtrack for a dance performance by Lisbon&#8217;s Quorum Ballet. The Other Side&#8217;s principal objective is to fuse the style and art of the dance of Lisbon and New York. The work is the collaboration of choreographers Daniel Cardoso, Jonathan Hollander and Thaddeus Davis, artistic directors of Quorum Ballet, Battery Dance Company and Wideman/Davis Dance, respectively. Dark, moody, erotic and aggressive, it explores the theme of oppression, which has always been an issue for the people on both sides of the Atlantic. The piece examines the roles of the different agents: the instigator, the oppressor, the oppressed and the observer.The most impressive song is the vocals version of &#8220;Fulano de Tal,&#8221; included on the album as a bonus track. Also noteworthy is the exotic, media-infused sound of &#8220;Land O&#8217; Debbies.&#8221; The entire albums feels like the fusion of every type of media coming together to blend spooky, unique melodies that echo through every track. What really drives the record, though, is the steady, trance-like beat that proves impossible to ignore.The music of Polarity/1 is exactly what the name suggests &#8211; &#8220;conjoined opposites,&#8221; including the new (cutting-edge electronica, hip-hop and nu-jazz) and the old (roots music of America, including blues, funk, country and early jazz, Brazil (samba, pagode, etc.) and West African groove science).You can check out Polarity/1 for yourself and learn how to purchase Music From The Other Side by heading to http://polarity1.musicdish.net </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Polarity/1, the multi-genre artist best known for bold, honest, hard-hitting songs, has released a brand new instrumental record titled &#8216;Music From the Other Sideâ. The new CD continues the opinion-filled musical legacy of Polar: fitting to the title, the album consists of smooth, jazzy tracks much different from louder albums like &#8216;Yankinâ The Food Chainâ. Proving that this album is no less diverse than his others, Polar once again shows his ability to spread his talent over a wide variety of genres; his music has been incorporated by dance theaters and documentarists, including Danny Schechter&#8217;s feature-length film documentary &#8216;In Debt We Trust&#8217; and Battery Dance Company&#8217;s 26th Annual Downtown Dance Festival last year.&#8217;Music From The Other Sideâ is the soundtrack for a dance performance by Lisbon&#8217;s Quorum Ballet, fusing the style and art of the dance of Lisbon and New York. A collaboration of choreographers Daniel Cardoso, Jonathan Hollander and Thaddeus Davis, artistic directors of Quorum Ballet, Battery Dance Company and Wideman/Davis Dance, respectively, this dark, moody, erotic and aggressive album explores the theme of oppression, which has always been an issue for the people on both sides of the Atlantic. The thought-provoking record examines the roles of the many different characters in life, including the instigator, the oppressor, the oppressed and the observer.The most impressive song on the album is the vocal version of &#8220;Fulano de Tal,&#8221; which is included as a bonus track. Also noteworthy is the exotic, media-infused sound of &#8220;Land O Debbies.&#8221; The entire albums feels like the fusion of every type of media coming together to blend spooky, unique melodies that echo through every track. What really drives the record, though, is the steady, trance-like beat that is impossible to ignore. As with all of his albums, on &#8216;Music From the Other Sideâ Polarity/1 proves his ability to keep listeners engaged for every song, as they are never quite sure of what to expect next. Just as his name suggests, Polarity/1âs music certainly is composed of &#8220;conjoined opposites&#8221;; jumping from instrumentals to upbeat drumming, and from rapping to slow, soulful lyrics, Polarity/1 truly is 1 of a kind.http://www.polarity1.comhttp://www.myspace.com/polarity1music </p>

<p>Taranto, the ancient Spartan colony of Tarentum, as a strategic city and port in southern Italy, has never stopped been rich in history, in culture and in traditions. How did Tarentum, combine the Spartan military training with the Athenian arts of entertainment? Taranto started as a home for unmarried Spartan women and free men. The location was picked by Sparta after consulting the Oracle of Delphi. The cheerful dancing to honor the Greek god Dionysius became the source of the tarantella steps. Taranto bloomed into a major place for commerce back then, during medieval times, and still is in our days. </p>
<p>During the 17th century, harvest in suburban Taranto was plagued by tarantulas, the wolf spiders, while the church forbade dancing as a source of sin. The irritant injected by the tarantulas apparently gave a lot of discomfort and caused the victim (tarantato/tarantata) a trance. The medical doctors of the day, knowing the people’s need for fun, prescribed Tarantella, a frantic and frenzied dance as the best treatment for tarantism. </p>
<p>Tarantella became popular when a young girl, Miranda, developed a crush on a young farmer, Matteo, who was as handsome as he was shy. She went to see an old gypsy woman for help. The gypsy advised the young girl to pretend to be beaten by a tarantula as an opportunity to have the young man dance with her. The young man, who desired the young girl in return, dropped a tarantula near Miranda while they were both working in the fields. The tarantula bit the girl’s foot . The girl went into a trance. Matteo danced with Miranda until profuse perspiration, which was followed by a swim in the sea to cool off. Having to dance at least for a full week to make sure the venom was all sweated out, Miranda and Matteo became very close and fell in love. Later they got married. This was the Tarantella Pizzica (the spider’s bite): a cure for romantic and physical ills. </p>
<p>Cities were forbidden to train militarily under the Spanish rule so local men devised theTarantella Scherma, a dance with martial arts steps. Later, harvests and civil occasions promoted the Tarantella del Core, the courtship dance with added flirtatious steps. </p>
<p>Composers turned the Tarantella into masterpieces of music: Gioacchino Rossini, Frederic Chopin, Pyotr Ilvich Thcaikovski, Franz Liszt, Carl Maria Weber, and the contemporary Mark-Anthony Turnage. Even poems have been written to illustrate the enchantment of the Tarantella like Hilaire Belloc’s Tarantella. </p>
<p>As long as there are tarantulas inciting people to dance and fall in love, the Tarantella will charm audiences with its enchantment and amorous cheer. The Tarantella has been a traditional dance at Italian weddings. Tarantella contests and Tarantella shows are quite common. The Gauthier Ballet Troupe, The Armando Curcio Company, and other groups are entertaining audiences with Tarantella extravaganzas. Several regional styles of Tarantella can be viewed on www.YouTube.com.: Pugliese, Calabrese, Sicilian and Neapolitan. Long live the Tarantella and long live love and lovers! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As our children grow, they need well-rounded stimulation and exposure to various interests in order to become informed and educated adults later. Most children are taught to engage in sports, while their exposure to the arts may not be as intensive. As the daughter of a teacher who has taught the basics of art, dance, music and theater to children; I have an appreciation for what they have to offer. My life has been enhanced greatly by art and music, especially. If you are thinking about enrolling your child in afterschool programs, consider an art, music or dance class to get them started in the fascinating world of the arts. My mother&#8217;s students through the 45 years she has taught have appreciated what they learned from her, and have come back at times to tell her so. The arts are meaningful and broaden your child&#8217;s world tremendously. </p>
<p>For example, if you child wants to play an instrument, encourage this and find a tutor or enroll them in a class. Let your child choose an instrument then either rent one or buy a second-hand instrument until you know he or she likes it enough to get a new one. Music teaches discipline, and studies by experts claim that it can help with learning mathematics as well. Besides, music is a good outlet for children, and pulls them away from less educational pursuits like video games or chatting online. By stimulating your child&#8217;s brain, you are allowing them to gain mastery of a subject. By sticking with lessons and completing them one-by-one, your child will gain in self confidence, too. </p>
<p>If your child loves to dance, there are courses at the arts or recreational centers in your community on ballet, tap or more. Sign up for a course in the topic he or she finds most interesting, and make sure to give encouragement as the courses progress. Dance promotes agility, grace and physical fitness. Install these interests early to set them up for interest in these disciplines as they mature. Go to the dance performance at the end of the course, and your child will be happy to know that you support all their hard work. It means a lot for them to see that you approve of what they are doing.</p>
<p>Art is most near and dear to my heart, as I am a trained illustrator. Let your child try a broad spectrum of different arts and crafts, so he or she can see what is most interesting to pursue further. For example, there are courses in pottery-making, drawing, painting, enamelling, sculpture and much more. I myself have taught children in drawing and painting, and they absorb what is taught to them like sponges when interested in the subject. Make sure to find a teacher who will make learning fun and give them positive encouragement. Many of my students have told me at the beginning, &#8220;I can&#8217;t do this. I can&#8217;t even draw a straight line.&#8221; That doesn&#8217;t matter, there is no right and wrong in creative art. It&#8217;s the artist&#8217;s creative license to do whatever he or she wants. My main concern with insecure students is to let them know that it takes time and practise, like in any branch of the arts, to become skilled. It doesn&#8217;t happen overnight, no matter how talented you are. Then, I go ahead and teach them, project-by-project, to gain confidence and see that art truly is for them. Some of my students have taken off to create projects on their own, once they realized that perfection isn&#8217;t expected of them. The pressure is off, and they can be free to enjoy whatever medium they like the most. </p>
<p>As a kid, my mother and father enrolled me in a wide variety of courses. As a shy child, it scared me at first, but even the courses I wasn&#8217;t as interested in were educational to me. I took away from each course a little more knowledge and appreciation for what the pros have to do to become good at their craft. Though I didn&#8217;t get into dance, I loved drawing, painting, music and pottery. And, trying different things pulled me out of my shell, making the shyness disappear later on. </p>
<p>I am a professional artist, my preferred style is realistic art, but I appreciate different disciplines unlike mine, such as impressionistic or abstract art. My mother teaches her young students to appreciate the Old Masters (painters like Van Gogh, Monet, Degas, etc.) every year, and they love it. Each child is taught to choose a painting they like, then try to paint it, using basic tempera paint. It is amazing how lovely the paintings can turn out, and every year she gets copies of the work before it goes home with the kids. Unbeknownst to these three to five year old children, classic training in painting includes copying the Old Masters further along in art education. Trying it early is invaluable, and there is no pressure to create a masterpiece, just in having fun and seeing how each child interprets the original painting. The kids love it, and work hard to do a good job, so they can go home and give it to their parents. A very worthwhile project.</p>
<p>Having grown up immersed in the arts myself, I truly encourage you to give your child exposure to them away from what they learn in elementary school. If they enjoy a certain branch of the arts, encourage it, and later as adults they will do this for their children in return. The arts make the world a prettier, more musical and interesting place. No time spent on learning them is wasted. So, go ahead and enroll them in a course after school. You won&#8217;t be disappointed, and maybe you will open their eyes to a new passion to pursue. It&#8217;s most definitely worth a try. </p>
