Should you find obstacles in your path. Ganesha is also one mega awesome God amongst Gods.
Thoth is the Egyptian god of writing, wisdom, and knowledge. Sometimes he is also referred to as a lunar deity and is often depicted wearing a lunar-like headdress. He is the patron of scribes, and is honored as the inventor of the sciences, magic, art, astronomy, medicine, and law. He judges the dead by weighing their hearts on a feather that represented truth, and is known to be fair and impartial. He is identified as the son of Ra, representing his heart and tongue.
My patron, my guide, my source of inspiration. He brings forth the word and the word creates all. Hail Thoth, wisest of the wise. Scribe of the gods. Thrice great magus.
For the general population, the 99% in the imagery of the Occupy movement, it’s been pretty harsh — and it could get worse. This could be a period of irreversible decline. For the 1% and even less — the .1% — it’s just fine. They are richer than ever, more powerful than ever, controlling the political system, disregarding the public. And if it can continue, as far as they’re concerned, sure, why not?
Take, for example, Citigroup. For decades, Citigroup has been one of the most corrupt of the major investment banking corporations, repeatedly bailed out by the taxpayer, starting in the early Reagan years and now once again. I won’t run through the corruption, but it’s pretty astonishing.
In 2005, Citigroup came out with a brochure for investors called “Plutonomy: Buying Luxury, Explaining Global Imbalances.” It urged investors to put money into a “plutonomy index.” The brochure says, “The World is dividing into two blocs — the Plutonomy and the rest.”
Plutonomy refers to the rich, those who buy luxury goods and so on, and that’s where the action is. They claimed that their plutonomy index was way outperforming the stock market. As for the rest, we set them adrift. We don’t really care about them. We don’t really need them. They have to be around to provide a powerful state, which will protect us and bail us out when we get into trouble, but other than that they essentially have no function. These days they’re sometimes called the “precariat” — people who live a precarious existence at the periphery of society. Only it’s not the periphery anymore. It’s becoming a very substantial part of society in the United States and indeed elsewhere. And this is considered a good thing.
I’ll get back to that phoenix and octopus later. Today was mostly a special request for a great friend. After a days work, it’s about a third done.
