QUESTION AUTHORITY

A Chara,

I am still a child although I am 57 years of age. When I was a young child, I made life difficult for myself by being a rebel. I fought regularly with the school bully and rebelled against the teachers, with their form of knowledge and how they imparted it. Although I made life very difficult for myself back then, I am happy today I made the right choice. In hindsight, I wish I had been more careful and smarter about how I went about it.

Times have changed and yet some things never change, the systems demand conformity. My father always repeated the old saying, "Some people learn from books, some people learn from experience and some people never learn ". I would take exception, as I did to almost everything he said, with some people learn the hard way, to which group I would add myself. I have always struggled with what my emotions tell me, as opposed to what my brain tells me, as I daily struggle with my anger. Yes I have often been wrong but not always, in fact it alarms me sometimes how accurate my intuition can be.

Recent knowledge regarding the value of E.Q as opposed to I.Q has helped to explain some of this. The Angry Book, explaining that anger is a good warm emotion, that actually brings people closer together, as opposed to societies approach, that the internal suppression of it which breeds disease and violence, has also helped. However as this child gets older I find that staying with my feelings and checking them out with a few honest friends, which incidentally is getting more difficult these days,  is far more reliable than the intellectual. I think the Celts close bond with nature gave them many insights that we have lost today.

I came across this Celtic culture video today which is a subject presently close to my heart. I have been coming across a lot of this stuff recently. I am happy that the internet and YouTube in particular have given fresh air to this complex subject.

History tends to be written by the temporary winners of wars, who tend to be violent bullies with the bulldog approach. Knowledge is born in the experience of struggle. The Roman empire along with the subsequent Brit one, seem to have operated on the basis of organized straight lines, executed ruthlessly, as opposed to the evolving webs of individual Celtic spirals. The Celts as I understand it originated somewhere in India. There is much to suggest that it was exported east and west from my travel observations.

So as the Roman Empire passed its organized violent war knowledge to the Brits, who have in turn passed it on to the Yanks, there is a lot of revised history out there, being revised by mercenary professionals, to give legitimacy and the veneer of civilization to these cultures of genocidal violence and bullying. With this in mind, I pass on this Celtic culture video, I came across today. I suggest investigateion with a rebellious attitude. The other videos around it( see link) on YouTube deserve scrutiny in my subjective humble opinion. Take what you want, leave the rest and go away and have a good argument about it, without resorting to violence.!.

"Opinions are like Arseholes everyone has got one," including me, as I was taught when my Ego was being smashed for the umpteenth time ".
