MYSTERIOUS VACLAV HAVEL


Vaclav Havel (right)

Vaclav Havel was born into a wealthy family.

His grandfather, Vácslav Havel, a real estate developer, built a landmark entertainment complex on Prague's Wenceslas Square.

His father, Václav Maria Havel, was the real estate developer behind the suburban Barrandov Terraces, located on the highest point of Prague—next door to which his uncle, Miloš Havel, built one of the largest film studios in Europe.[9]

Havel's mother, Božena Vavrečková,[10] also came from an influential family; her father was a Czechoslovak ambassador and a well-known journalist.

'An article put today's covid-regime concerns in the context of the spiritual-themed warnings of the famous Czech liberation hero the late Václav Havel (1936-2011)

'Somewhat like Solzhenitsyn, Havel warned that Western modernity had become too technocratic and soul-less, too submissive to alleged 'science', and that decreasing spirituality was a great danger

'Tho about religion, Havel himself remained an eager spiritual 'searcher', rather than someone who was able to say clearly he had found a spiritual home. Havel had some Roman Catholic background in his youth - rare in Czechia, which today is still Europe's most atheistic country - and Havel went to church occasionally, but did not feel able to fully call himself a believer.


'As first post-Communist Czech President, Havel took great pleasure in inviting the Dalai Lama to Prague ... in this photo with the Dalai Lama, Havel is wearing a white 'khata', a ceremonial Buddist scarf ... Havel looking supremely happy

Havel met with his friend the Polish Pope John Paul II at least five times, and later also met with Pope Benedict ... here is Havel with John Paul II

Havel said: "The heavy hand of centralised bureaucracy, makes everyone first powerless, then listless. These systems marginalise community and leave people with a fundamental sense of nonbelonging.

"Respect for human rights will mean nothing as long as this imperative does not derive from the respect of the miracle of Being, the miracle of the universe, the miracle of nature, the miracle of our own existence. It seems man can realize that liberty only if he does not forget the One who endowed him with it."

Was Havel an asset of the CIA?

Did Havel's family have NAZI connections?

Living in truth | The Economist

'The authorities tried to tar the dissidents as CIA stooges, and Mr Havel as the scion of a family of Nazi collaborators.'

Resting in glory Dec 27th 2011



'Havel and his fellow dissidents are routinely portrayed in the west as one big success story, the reality is rather different. 

'A 2009 Lancet study concluded that as many as 1 million working-age men died due to the health problems brought on by mass privatisation. 

'As economies across eastern Europe were restructured so inequalities and social divisions grew. 

'A 2011 OECD report found that Havel's Czech Republic had the joint-second largest rise in income inequality in OECD members since the mid-1980s.

'Havel's true political allegiances came to the fore during his years as president. 

'Like fellow dissident Lech Walesa, he supported the Nato bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. 

'In 2002, he sided with the rightwing Republican hawks on Iraq.'

THE MEANING OF LIFE


Science and Religion.

Here are some people's thoughts about life:

1. "It does not matter how long you are spending on the earth, how much money you have gathered or how much attention you have received.

"It is the amount of positive vibration you have radiated in life that matters." 


2. "Nature doesn't disdain what lives only for a day. 

"It pours the whole of itself into the each moment. We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. 

"Life's bounty is in its flow, later is too late. 

"Where is the song when it's been sung? The dance when it's been danced?"  




3. 'Religion comes in opposites to be attractive to different personalities.'

- Steven Reiss , a professor of psychologist at Ohio State University.

According to Reiss, organised religions address the 16 basic human desires - curiosity, acceptance, family, honour, idealism, independence, order, physical activity, power, romance, saving, social contact, eating, status, tranquility and vengeance.

...
Bart D. Ehrman

4.  The real Jesus reportedly taught that we should tune in to the Holy Spirit, love our enemies, see our own faults before we see the faults of others, heal the sick, feed the hungry and treat our fellow citizens as our brothers.

Most of the rest of the stuff about Jesus is apparently invention.

Tony Bushby writes: "In the fourth century, the Roman Emperor Constantine united all religious factions under one composite deity, and ordered the compilation of new and old writings into a uniform collection that became the New Testament."

"Constantine's intention at Nicaea was to create an entirely new god for his empire... 

"Presbyters were asked to debate and decide who their new god would be... The names of 53 gods were tabled for discussion."

(God's Book of Eskra, Prof. S. L. MacGuire's translation, Salisbury, 1922, chapter xlviii, paragraphs 36, 41).

The Forged Origins of The New Testament.

"The earliest of the manuscripts of the New Testament which are still in existence, do not date back beyond the middle of the fourth century AD."

(Catholic Encyclopedia, op. cit., pp. 656-7).

The World's oldest Bible is the Sinai Bible.

"When the New Testament in the Sinai Bible is compared with a modern-day New Testament, a staggering 14,800 editorial alterations can be identified."

5. Lyndon Nadel writes:

You may have seen this Symbol. It is a Dragon eating his own Tail. It is the ancient symbol for time.

It represents Infinite time, where time begins, ends, and continues all at the same point.

What we live in, is named Infinite time. Meaning that time has already begun, finished and continued down every path.

Every possible scenario that could be carried out in time, has already done so.

Every possible dimension that could exist, has already existed and is currently in existence. All at the same moment.

The time in which we are experiencing at this present moment, has already been concluded, in every possible direction that it could occur.

In one dimension, we all die of a nuclear world war III, in another we all live prosporous lives and man kind reaches out into the stars after conquering human suffering.

It has already happened, and it will happen again.



Lyndon Nadel writes:

We do not have the power to alter or change time; our brains only offer us the opportunity to choose the destiny that we witness. 

We pick and choose every moment, which dimension we head down in our finite lives.

Bare in mind, that you are not altering the universe in anyway; you are not changing what will occur; you are merely chosing between the events you wish to witness in this life.

Because every senario has has a different ending, and every moment leads to a different dimension...

Reincarnation Explained.   Time is NOT linear.

...

6. Anthony Peake takes the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics as a literal truth and merges this idea with the time theory of John William Dunne (1875–1949) which says that the past, present and future all exist simultaneously with the outcome being that people can enter the future in dreams or the past by deja vu.
