Only the lively hunt pleases me

“The people truly have been stampeded, for years and years and years, into the only information sources they've been given. Remember the ALL-SEEING EYE DOESN'T MISS ANYTHING. I tell them, "Why do you think, out of all the controlled media, they would miss the shortwave or the AM stations?" It hasn't. What's out there is authorized to be there. As I've said before, and I said the other night, I've talked to very elderly people, who followed this all their lives, and gone on the roller coasters of ups and downs, and learned all the names on a daily basis, of who's passing what bill. Who's doing what to whom, and what country's doing what to what, and on and on it goes. It's just data, data, data. It's irrelevant who they bring forth to pass a bill. If that person wasn't there, someone else would have then been picked to come forth, in his place.” -- Alan Watt blurb, “Kings, Advisors and Cunning Cons” --December 8, 2006, the Redux for Aug. 17, 2005

Alan Watt Redux #224 - "Kings, Advisors and Cunning Cons"

Trusting is what sheep are.

As far as we know, Johann Sebastian Bach was not a Freemason, unlike Franz Liszt, Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and more recently Irving Berlin and Duke Ellington.

The Masonic order was an important part of the last seven years of Mozart’s life, and his opera, “The Magic Flute” focuses on Freemasonry. There’s a handsome prince pursued by a serpent. The Queen of the Night might represent an archetype of the female who can only reflect the light of the male, the sun/son. Or she might be standing in for Maria Theresa, Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, a Hapsburg who ruled from 1740 until 1780, and who opposed Freemasonry and banned it in Austria.

The picture above is from the stage set of an 1815 production of the opera, designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. It may be the Queen of the Night, but I see the Nasi prince of the crescent-moon Sanhedrin and a thousand points of light.

The last Emperor of the Hapsburg line was Charles I whose short reign was allowed by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand (which we’re told kicked off World War I) putting him in direct line of succession of Emperor Franz Joseph. from November 1916 until he stepped away from governing in disgust at the Armistice of November 11, 1918. The Republic of German-Austria was proclaimed on November 12, and in April of 1919, the National Assembly dethroned the Hapsburgs and Charles found himself banned from German-Austria, for life.

So it goes with revolution, reformation, and renewal.

Johann Sebastian’s son, Johann Christian Bach, was also a classical composer of great renown. As a young boy, he studied music under his father, who died when he was about fifteen, at which time Johann Christian left his home in Leipzig, Germany and moved to Berlin to continue studying under a much older half-brother. At the age of nineteen, he moved to Italy to continue his education and at the age of twenty-five he received an important appointment to be the pipe organist for Milan Cathedral.

It’s good to remember that religion was strong at that time and one of the most essential controls upon the minds of people, from the noble classes to the peasants. After all, only a tiny minority comprise Mystery Babylon down through time.

As a young man, Johann Christian converted from Lutheranism to Catholicism for political reasons. After a short time in Italy, he moved to London and was known there as the “English Bach” or “London Bach.” He was initiated into the Lodge of Nine Muses No. 235, London, and had a strong influence on other composers and musicians of his time, including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Back to his father, Johann Sebastian not-a-Mason. The elder Bach was a master musician of the later Baroque era. He is thought to be one of the most important composers in the history of classical music.

“Sheep may safely graze” - Johann Sebastian Bach

Written as a soprano aria, nowadays the most popular arrangements of “Sheep may safely graze” are for piano, or string quartets, or choirs. There are some lovely guitar adaptations. The song is from Bach’s cantata, Was mir behagt, ist nur die muntre Jagd. The English translation is “Only the lively hunt pleases me” and it is also known as the Hunting Cantata.

In Alan Watt’s Cutting Through book, volume 1 “The Androgynous (Hermaphroditic) Agenda,” page 4, Alan describes how the five points are depicted “on our nightly TV when politicians, dictators, military chiefs, etc. greet each other. First the hand-shake, then the left arm grasps the other’s elbow, both step forward putting the right foot inside (to the right) of the other’s, then left hand to the other’s back and they hug (cheek to cheek, chest to chest). They will be seen saying something in unison, which is “Bless us Father,” some higher orders adding, “On this hunt.”

As Alan Watt said in this talk, the ancient system of Mystery Babylon with its all-seeing eye misses nothing. Everywhere we look are signs of the coordination and implementation of an ancient agenda. Politicians and journalists are predators on the hunt. Those who claim to be ‘populists’ or ‘conservatives’ and even ‘dissidents’ are hunters and predators. The ‘stars’ -- actors, musicians, and anyone who gets an easy and large forum to tell us like it is, are also in the hunting party.

If we choose to ignore what we see with our own eyes it is to our own detriment. Their claim is that they are our good shepherds, keeping us safe from wolves, so that we may safely graze. In truth, only wild sheep are safe.
