Plato's The Cave
Plato's allegory, The Cave, is similar to the diagrams of two cubes (see previous web log entry) where the sun plays a central role. The sun is the source of the One, the Good and the Beautiful. Those in the upper realms see the Sun as the source of life, that which regulates the seasons. Meanwhile, the bulk of humanity are chained facing dark walls, upon which shadows of different objects are cast. They take the shadows to be real in themselves. Ancient Greek philosophers and early Christians regard man ideally as the gateway between Being and Change, that is, Spirit and matter. Most of us are stuck in a material existence, like prisoners in a cave only able to see shadows on a wall. There is, though, a path upward to Being, to the Number 8, the reconciliation between Heaven and Earth.
As with the cube allegories, the Cave is another blueprint of Illuminati control. The cave and cube are spiritual teaching tools that have been perverted by powerhungry megalomaniacs. So instead of man in chains having the potential to rise to Being in the world above, those atop the food chain, the shadow manipulators, ie, the Shadow Government Carroll Quigley writes about in Tragedy and Hope, manipulate what the riff raff cavedwellers see, hear, and think. Today's degree of Shadow Government manipulation is awesome. It is a scientific dictatorship wherein the cavedwellers are thankful for their servitude and will fight and die to ensure they and their children will continue to be chained and stuck to dark walls staring at shadows. Ignorance is bliss is their mantra.
You wouldn't happen to be a 9/11 caveman conspiracy theorist would you?
