-- (DRAFT 3A) PREMEDIATED (ADVOCATED) MEDIA AND IT'S AFFIRMATION OF
DETERMINISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS
(c) 2022 Dolf Leendert Boek, Revision: 26 December 2022
With the most hectic time of the year now past, as a conception of #1541
- Christianós (G5546): *CHRISTIAN* sapient belief and its universalist
humanist commitment towards #27 - DUTIES / #68 - RIGHTS ethos of #506 -
politeía (G4174): *CITIZENSHIP* its time again to make a resumption to
our digestation of DE ZENGOTITA's concluding chapters. The logical
starting point for this is his observation upon THE FATE OF NATURE,
where he summarises the COURSE OF LIFE, in such manner that: "We are
moved to mark our passage through this life.
That goes with the human condition, an anchoring response to the
ephemerality of consciousness. The primordial impulse that moves us to
place *STONES* (eg: #486 - pétra (G4073): *A* *ROCK* *OR* *LARGE*
*STONE*) on graves and erect monuments at the sites of historic events
also moves us to arrange our belongings around us as we take a seat on
the train, to make it our own for the length of the journey. And the
same impulse moves us--to take pictures." [page 219]
And so too the #496 - ʼâman (H539): *ESTABLISHMENT* [#264 - kleís
(G2807): KEYS / POWER AND AUTHORITY OF #415 - dâth (H1881): HEAVEN'S
DECREE OR FATE BEING A COVENANT RELATIONSHIP AS MORAL UNITY OF HEAVEN /
MAN; REWARD FOR VIRTUE; VIRTUE EQUATED WITH SOCIAL OBLIGATION; AND FIXED
TERMED CONTRACT] of the SECTARIAN / SECULAR MYSTERIES [kāi míng (開明): 1.
enlightened; open-minded, 2. to become civilized] by their grand
inception occurring midnight on the new moon of Winter Solstice 21
December 103 BCE as the basis for a CHINESE TAICHU [tài chū (太初):
meaning the *ABSOLUTE* *BEGINNING* / *IN* *THE* *BEGINNING*) CALENDAR
which is deployed to this present day.
WHERE #452 = #451 - PRAXIS OF RATIONALITY + #1 - CENTRE (CHUNG): "By [a
pun an understanding is given as the] reading: "Expansion in every case
resides at center", the Head also refers to the mysterious process by
which *FUTURE* *EVENTS* *BECOME* *PRESENT* *PHENOMENA*, displacing
phenomena into the past and providing the momentum for cyclic processes.
As the "Great Commentary" to the Changes describes it:
As the sun moves on, the moon comes. As the moon moves on, the sun
comes. As sun and moon impel each other, light is produced. . . . What
moves on, contracts. What comes, expands (HSIN). As what contracts and
what expands influence each other, what furthers [activity] is produced.
The first nine Appraisals of Tetragram 1 refer to the first 4 1/2 days
immediately following the Winter Solstice. Within that brief period of
time, yang begins its struggle to emerge from the domination of yin.
Patterns set in these first nine Appraisal texts recapitulate the entire
annual cycle covered by all eighty-one tetragrams (ie. 9x9x9 = #365 -
YANG / #364 - YIN as #729). At the same time, this "nested" cycle of
nine Appraisals stands not only for cosmic process but also for the
cycle of human action from initial contemplation to final outcome...

The Autumn Onset solar period, usually regarded as the juncture between
summer and autumn, begins with Appraisal 6 of this tetragram. Here,
then, we have another critical meeting point between yin and yang. Since
this is the last opportunity yang will have to #502 - "*LORD*" it over
yin, it is appropriate that YANG HSIUNG should discuss the relations of
the ruler (whose correlate is yang) and the subordinate (identified with
yin). That autumn follows summer is an invariable rule of nature.
Following this *IMMUTABLE* *PATTERN*, *ALL* *SUBJECTS*, *INCLUDING*

Hierarchy functions as the necessary basis for enduring and productive
relations; as the Changes argues, the four seasons [#1 - WINTER, #21 -
SPRING, #41 - SUMMER, #61 - AUTUMN] keep to their constant course only
when the "strong is above and the weak below." Not surprisingly, the
need to recognize one's proper place in the hierarchy is a theme of this
tetragram. So long as hierarchy is preserved, the worst calamities
associated with yin ch'i may be avoided. This may explain why the penal
code associated with the autumn season is represented in a positive,
rather than a negative light...
When the state is controlled by ministers . . . the movement [of the
moon] inclines sometimes toward the south and sometimes toward the
north. Irregular motion of the moon, whether fast or slow, indicates
excessive power held by relatives of the empress.

Means: The order of ruler and official is constant.
The early commentator Fan Wang says, "Heaven is vertical; Earth,
horizontal. This is the constant way." Man moving in horizontal and
vertical directions suggests the fundamental interconnectedness of the
three realms of HeavenEarthMan. Elaborate patterns in the night sky
and geological configurations are studied by the sage intent upon
devising models for human culture; the sage hopes to recreate in human
society that marvellous interdependence that proves so productive in the
phenomenal world. *PATTERNS* *IN* *HEAVEN* *AND* *EARTH*, *THEN*,

Like the previous text, this Appraisal takes for its theme the light
(and therefore, enlightenment). However, by the sixth Appraisal, we
already have passed the point of balance. For this reason, as Yang
writes, "We contemplate waxing and waning." Here the degree of remaining
light is measured through moon imagery, because even numbered
Appraisals in this tetragram are aligned with yin." [@1, pages 84, 92]
It is reasonably held that the APOSTLE PAUL wrote his epistle to the
ROMANS before the end of his third missionary journey (around 57–59 AD)
as approximately twenty-five years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ
and would no doubt be aware of Caesar TIBERIUS (14 to 37 AD) at that
time engaging within *UNRESTRAINED* *SEXUAL* *CONDUCT* with both genders
and threw them off a cliff if they displeased him: "WHEREFORE GOD ALSO
GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, TO
DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES BETWEEN THEMSELVES: WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF
GOD INTO A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN THE
CREATOR, WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER. AMEN." [Romans 1:24-25]
Although SATURNALIA is probably the best-known Roman holiday initially
held from 17 DECEMBER (#81 - FOSTERING (YANG) / H27 - SWALLOWING,
NOURISHMENT, JAWS, COMFORT /SECURITY) and and later expanded too a six
day ritual with festivities through to 23 DECEMBER (#1 - CENTER (CHUNG)
/ H61 - INNER TRUTH, CENTER RETURNING TRUTH).
But as a whole the festival where there was public banqueting, followed
by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere
that overturned Roman social norms, it's characteristics are not
described from beginning to end in any single ancient source and so
little is known of there being any occasional orgy practice as #456 =

*PRECEPT* *OR* *ACT* *SUCH* *AS* *BOND* *OF* *MATRIMONY*) of successive
ROMAN CAESARS including CALIGULA (37 to 41 AD) as *ARSENOKOITES* who is
alleged to have raped both a husband and wife upon their wedding day and
frequently had affairs with another man's wife to then forbid the
husband having further sexual relations.
Whereas NERO (54 to 68 AD) as action of *MALAKOS* castrated a boy named
SPORUS to make him womanlike, and then married him in a traditional
CEREMONY (#499 = taʻâb (H8581): *DO* *ABOMINABLY* *IN* *THE* *RITUAL*
*OR* *ETHICAL* *SENSE*; loidoréō (G3058): *REVILE* *OR* *HEAP* *ABUSE*

intention to mutilate the genitals of people tied to stakes.

"FOR THIS CAUSE GOD GAVE THEM UP UNTO VILE AFFECTIONS:
Within the year 64 AD, during the SATURNALIA, TIGELLINUS offered a
series of banquets to NERO, and after a few days of which NERO performed
a marriage to PYTHAGORAS: "... he stooped to marry himself to one of
that filthy herd, by name PYTHAGORAS, with all the forms of regular
wedlock. The *BRIDAL* *VEIL* *WAS* *PUT* *OVER* *THE* *EMPEROR* [AS

THEIR ERROR WHICH WAS MEET." [Romans 1:24-27]
Which is consistent with Jewish sources in conveying the etymology of
SATURNALIA as #466 = שנאה טמונה (śinʾâ ṭǝmûnâ) a "hidden hatred" and
perhaps an çûwth (H5496): *INSTIGATED* (*BAD* *SENSE*) *ENTICEMENT*.

We must therefore respectfully disagree with the view expressed within a
BIGTHINK.COM article dated 23 DECEMBER 2022 by JONNY THOMSON, who
despite teaching philosophy at Oxford, conveys opinions which are
lacking academic integrity: "The fact that pagan festivals had their own
mid-winter celebrations did not challenge Christianity but confirmed it.
It showed that Jesus was at the core of all things [and he didn't die on
25 MARCH but 3 APRIL 33 AD], even before his Incarnation. When the
Romans celebrated Saturnalia, the Greeks celebrated MITHRAS [despite the
emergent soldier cultus of the Roman Imperium being well established by
#71 AD as dominion], or the Egyptians celebrated Isis around the same
time, this only showed that they were stumbling closer to the truth —
the truth of Christ.
<https://bigthink.com/the-past/no-christmas-not-stolen-pagan-festival/>
The nature of the inadequate response to the Sunday Sacredness question
(ie. since the Apostle Peter was and remained Jewish who still received
death threats at passover 10 years after the crucifixion), a vehement
dogmatic contempt for same sex Marriage due to a reliance upon
PYTHAGOREAN BIPARTITE (@1 - SOVEREIGN / AUTONOMOUS DYNAMIC, @5 - ROMAN
STATE) #1080 - HETEROS THEORY OF NUMBER philosophical foundations and a
resolute silence on the Christology v's Caesar as King dynamic, clearly
conveys that the Church did compete with pagan worship. Whilst there may
not have been any cynical, deliberate “theft” or “appropriation”, there
was by the remnant Jewish / Christians Community who were subject to
pogroms in accordance with a doctrine of Resurrection from the Dead, a
purposed infection of the Roman host by an intentioned osmosis.
Modern understanding of the festival is pieced together from several
accounts dealing with various aspects. The SATURNALIA was the dramatic
setting of the multivolume work of that name by Macrobius (c. 431 AD), a
Latin writer from late antiquity who is the major source for information
about the holiday. Macrobius describes the reign of Justinus' "king
Saturn" as "a time of great happiness, both on account of the universal
plenty that prevailed and because as yet there was no division into bond
and free – as one may gather from the *COMPLETE* *LICENSE* enjoyed by
slaves at the SATURNALIA. [Wikipedia: Saturnalia]

It would therefore behove us to further consider the notion of
"EXPANSION IN EVERY CASE RESIDES AT CENTER" in relation to the lóng
(戾龍): dragon and its expression of #6 - CONTRARIETY (LI) which by
equivalent temporal reference as Winter Solstice and cosmic patterning
conduct which then has a more *PERFECT*-G197: KNOWLEDGE OF THE WAY [Acts
24:22] correspondence to the SATURNALIA festival: "This oddly
anthropomorphic sentiment reflects a strong imbalance in the forces of
yin and yang ch'i, associated with dark and light respectively. In the
Center tetragram, for example, we see solid lines occupying every
position in the graphic symbol. Yin and yang, then, challenge each other
at a particular point in the cycie when the imbalance is strongest. As
the forces for good and evil confront one another in the darkness of
primal origin, of midwinter, and of the hidden recesses of the heart and
mind, the separation of polarities out of the indeterminate Mystery is
bound to be premature and inauspicious.
In the Five Phases correlations, the image of warfare is related to
Fire, the patron phase of this Appraisal, which has succeeded the Water
found in the preceding Appraisal. Appraisals are alternately yang (day,
auspicious) and yin (night, inauspicious) in relation to each other.
Yang Hsiung explains this by ALTERNATING REFERENCES TO THE STATE OF MIND
OF THE NOBLE MAN (ALIGNED WITH YANG) AND THE PETTY MAN (ALIGNED WITH
YIN). The pitched battle of Appraisal 2 takes place, he tells us,
because "the petty man's heart and mind are undiscriminating," tending
to segregate what should be undifferentiated during the first Head's
dominance. By contrast, "The worthy man by his actions unites the many
kinds [of being]."
APPRAISAL #3: The dragon [lóng (龍)] emerges at the center (#1 - 𝌆中
(zhōng) = #457),
Its head and tail stretch forth,
Fit for use.
FATHOMING #3: Dragon emerging at center
Means: It reveals its creativity.
Few Chinese images are as rich in associations as that of the dragon.
The first Chinese dictionary (ca. A.D. 100) describes the dragon as
"chief among the scaly creatures. It can be dark or brilliant, small or
large, short or long. At the vernal equinox (#21 / #472), it ascends to
the sky; at the autumnal equinox (#61 / #512), it hides in the deeps."
The dragon is protean and timely; it marks two critical points in the
annual cycle by its ascent and descent. Thus it is associated with
virile yang ch'i, with the East and Spring, and with the growth of the
myriad things on earth.
In the first hexagram of the Changes, a sequence of dragon images
portrays the exemplary man in reclusion (the unseen dragon in line 1),
in office (the dragon in the fields in line 2), and at the summit of
political power (the dragon flying in the sky in line 5). At least this
is the way orthodox commentators have explained these enigmatic texts.
They argue that the dragon symbolizes the noble man who fulfills his
potential by conforming to the present situation.
The dragon found in Appraisal 3, when compared with these pictures of
the dragon in the Changes, is neither entirely hidden nor fully
apparent. With the separation of nascent yang from the primal darkness,
the dragon has emerged from the waters barely enough to reveal its head
and tail. Yet even before the dragon appears in its full glory, it is
recognized as "fit for use," in clear contrast to the hidden dragon in
the Changes. Why? Another Chinese classic defines "usefulness" in terms
of adherence to #48 - *RITUAL* (LI).

In early China, the husband tended to public matters outside the home
while the wife managed the domestic sphere inside the family residence.
Through this division of responsibilities the family maintained harmony
and material welfare. The fruitful nature of male/female complementarity
is one theme found in the Changes:
Heaven and Earth are opposites, but their action is concerted. Man and
Woman are opposites, but their wills conjoin. The myriad things stand in
opposition to one another, but their actions are by type." [@1, pages
121, 122]
CONTINUATION OF TETRAD #1 - CENTER (CHUNG): "Through #48 - *RITUAL*
(LI), Yang's exemplar keeps his integrity (his "exact center''), despite
the ups and downs of fortune. Yang equally emphasizes the importance of
timeliness:
What is meant by "dragon emerging at center"? It says that the
characteristic virtue of the dragon is apparent for the first time. If
the yin has not reached its highest point, then yang will not be born.
If disorder has not reached its highest point, then virtue will not
assume form. The noble man cultivates virtue, thereby awaiting the
proper moment [to act]. He does not rise up before the proper moment,
nor draw back after it has already passed. Whether in action or at rest,
whether obscure or eminent, he does not stray from the norm. Can this be
said of anyone but the noble man? Thus "head and tail are fit for use."
This is Yang's answer to one of the great questions of his time. The
best minds of China had accepted the Confucian ideal of government
service, but in the declining days of Western Han most men of principle
could look forward, if not to rejection, then to blocked careers like
Yang's own, or even to disgrace or dismissal. In this Appraisal Yang
sees political chaos not as a permanent state but as a precursor to
constructive yang activity. His exemplar, in keeping to the exact
center, never fails to serve as a norm for others in a social order
ideally based upon moral example. Personal virtue is charismatic;
eventually it turns disorder into order. YANG HSIUNG saw in the disorder
of his time a need not for superficial pacification of society ("law and
order"), but the reinstitution of a stable, hierarchic society ruled by
a moral elite. Once again, Yang appears to be making a play on one word:
the dragon's tail is both "truly" (hsin) fit for use and "stretched out"
(shen), ready for action. (For the same pun, see the first Head text above.)
In cosmogony, Appraisal 3 of this tetragram corresponds to a third stage
of existence. Following primal chaos (stage 1) and the separation of yin
and yang ch'i (stage 2), the first emergence of forms (stage 3)
foreshadows the proliferation of phenomena in the world as we know it
(stage 4)." [@1, pages 89, 90]

DETERMINISTIC CONSCIOUSNESS
(c) 2022 Dolf Leendert Boek, Revision: 26 December 2022
With the most hectic time of the year now past, as a conception of #1541
- Christianós (G5546): *CHRISTIAN* sapient belief and its universalist
humanist commitment towards #27 - DUTIES / #68 - RIGHTS ethos of #506 -
politeía (G4174): *CITIZENSHIP* its time again to make a resumption to
our digestation of DE ZENGOTITA's concluding chapters. The logical
starting point for this is his observation upon THE FATE OF NATURE,
where he summarises the COURSE OF LIFE, in such manner that: "We are
moved to mark our passage through this life.
That goes with the human condition, an anchoring response to the
ephemerality of consciousness. The primordial impulse that moves us to
place *STONES* (eg: #486 - pétra (G4073): *A* *ROCK* *OR* *LARGE*
*STONE*) on graves and erect monuments at the sites of historic events
also moves us to arrange our belongings around us as we take a seat on
the train, to make it our own for the length of the journey. And the
same impulse moves us--to take pictures." [page 219]
And so too the #496 - ʼâman (H539): *ESTABLISHMENT* [#264 - kleís
(G2807): KEYS / POWER AND AUTHORITY OF #415 - dâth (H1881): HEAVEN'S

TERMED CONTRACT] of the SECTARIAN / SECULAR MYSTERIES [kāi míng (開明): 1.
enlightened; open-minded, 2. to become civilized] by their grand
inception occurring midnight on the new moon of Winter Solstice 21
December 103 BCE as the basis for a CHINESE TAICHU [tài chū (太初):
meaning the *ABSOLUTE* *BEGINNING* / *IN* *THE* *BEGINNING*) CALENDAR
which is deployed to this present day.
WHERE #452 = #451 - PRAXIS OF RATIONALITY + #1 - CENTRE (CHUNG): "By [a
pun an understanding is given as the] reading: "Expansion in every case
resides at center", the Head also refers to the mysterious process by
which *FUTURE* *EVENTS* *BECOME* *PRESENT* *PHENOMENA*, displacing
phenomena into the past and providing the momentum for cyclic processes.
As the "Great Commentary" to the Changes describes it:
As the sun moves on, the moon comes. As the moon moves on, the sun
comes. As sun and moon impel each other, light is produced. . . . What
moves on, contracts. What comes, expands (HSIN). As what contracts and
what expands influence each other, what furthers [activity] is produced.
The first nine Appraisals of Tetragram 1 refer to the first 4 1/2 days
immediately following the Winter Solstice. Within that brief period of
time, yang begins its struggle to emerge from the domination of yin.
Patterns set in these first nine Appraisal texts recapitulate the entire
annual cycle covered by all eighty-one tetragrams (ie. 9x9x9 = #365 -
YANG / #364 - YIN as #729). At the same time, this "nested" cycle of
nine Appraisals stands not only for cosmic process but also for the
cycle of human action from initial contemplation to final outcome...

The Autumn Onset solar period, usually regarded as the juncture between
summer and autumn, begins with Appraisal 6 of this tetragram. Here,
then, we have another critical meeting point between yin and yang. Since
this is the last opportunity yang will have to #502 - "*LORD*" it over
yin, it is appropriate that YANG HSIUNG should discuss the relations of
the ruler (whose correlate is yang) and the subordinate (identified with
yin). That autumn follows summer is an invariable rule of nature.
Following this *IMMUTABLE* *PATTERN*, *ALL* *SUBJECTS*, *INCLUDING*
*COURT* *OFFICIALS*, *MUST* *FOLLOW* *THE* *RULER*.
Hierarchy functions as the necessary basis for enduring and productive
relations; as the Changes argues, the four seasons [#1 - WINTER, #21 -
SPRING, #41 - SUMMER, #61 - AUTUMN] keep to their constant course only
when the "strong is above and the weak below." Not surprisingly, the
need to recognize one's proper place in the hierarchy is a theme of this
tetragram. So long as hierarchy is preserved, the worst calamities
associated with yin ch'i may be avoided. This may explain why the penal
code associated with the autumn season is represented in a positive,
rather than a negative light...
When the state is controlled by ministers . . . the movement [of the
moon] inclines sometimes toward the south and sometimes toward the
north. Irregular motion of the moon, whether fast or slow, indicates
excessive power held by relatives of the empress.

Means: The order of ruler and official is constant.
The early commentator Fan Wang says, "Heaven is vertical; Earth,
horizontal. This is the constant way." Man moving in horizontal and
vertical directions suggests the fundamental interconnectedness of the
three realms of HeavenEarthMan. Elaborate patterns in the night sky
and geological configurations are studied by the sage intent upon
devising models for human culture; the sage hopes to recreate in human
society that marvellous interdependence that proves so productive in the
phenomenal world. *PATTERNS* *IN* *HEAVEN* *AND* *EARTH*, *THEN*,

1:16-23]
Like the previous text, this Appraisal takes for its theme the light
(and therefore, enlightenment). However, by the sixth Appraisal, we
already have passed the point of balance. For this reason, as Yang
writes, "We contemplate waxing and waning." Here the degree of remaining
light is measured through moon imagery, because even numbered
Appraisals in this tetragram are aligned with yin." [@1, pages 84, 92]
It is reasonably held that the APOSTLE PAUL wrote his epistle to the
ROMANS before the end of his third missionary journey (around 57–59 AD)
as approximately twenty-five years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ
and would no doubt be aware of Caesar TIBERIUS (14 to 37 AD) at that
time engaging within *UNRESTRAINED* *SEXUAL* *CONDUCT* with both genders
and threw them off a cliff if they displeased him: "WHEREFORE GOD ALSO
GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, TO
DISHONOUR THEIR OWN BODIES BETWEEN THEMSELVES: WHO CHANGED THE TRUTH OF
GOD INTO A LIE, AND WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN THE
CREATOR, WHO IS BLESSED FOR EVER. AMEN." [Romans 1:24-25]
Although SATURNALIA is probably the best-known Roman holiday initially
held from 17 DECEMBER (#81 - FOSTERING (YANG) / H27 - SWALLOWING,
NOURISHMENT, JAWS, COMFORT /SECURITY) and and later expanded too a six
day ritual with festivities through to 23 DECEMBER (#1 - CENTER (CHUNG)
/ H61 - INNER TRUTH, CENTER RETURNING TRUTH).
But as a whole the festival where there was public banqueting, followed
by private gift-giving, continual partying, and a carnival atmosphere
that overturned Roman social norms, it's characteristics are not
described from beginning to end in any single ancient source and so
little is known of there being any occasional orgy practice as #456 =
taʼănâh (H8385): *SEXUAL* *DRIVE* (*OF* *ANIMAL*) in being a TYRANNICAL
EMULATION (#457 = zimmâh (H2154): *NOT* *CHASTE*, *INCEST*,

*PRECEPT* *OR* *ACT* *SUCH* *AS* *BOND* *OF* *MATRIMONY*) of successive
ROMAN CAESARS including CALIGULA (37 to 41 AD) as *ARSENOKOITES* who is
alleged to have raped both a husband and wife upon their wedding day and
frequently had affairs with another man's wife to then forbid the
husband having further sexual relations.
Whereas NERO (54 to 68 AD) as action of *MALAKOS* castrated a boy named
SPORUS to make him womanlike, and then married him in a traditional
CEREMONY (#499 = taʻâb (H8581): *DO* *ABOMINABLY* *IN* *THE* *RITUAL*
*OR* *ETHICAL* *SENSE*; loidoréō (G3058): *REVILE* *OR* *HEAP* *ABUSE*

intention to mutilate the genitals of people tied to stakes.

"FOR THIS CAUSE GOD GAVE THEM UP UNTO VILE AFFECTIONS:
Within the year 64 AD, during the SATURNALIA, TIGELLINUS offered a
series of banquets to NERO, and after a few days of which NERO performed
a marriage to PYTHAGORAS: "... he stooped to marry himself to one of
that filthy herd, by name PYTHAGORAS, with all the forms of regular
wedlock. The *BRIDAL* *VEIL* *WAS* *PUT* *OVER* *THE* *EMPEROR* [AS
PONTIFEX MAXIMUS / POPE]; people saw the witnesses of the ceremony, the
wedding dower, the couch and the nuptial torches; everything in a word
was plainly visible, which, even when a woman weds, darkness hides.

THE WOMAN, BURNED IN THEIR LUST ONE TOWARD ANOTHER; MEN WITH MEN WORKING
THAT WHICH IS UNSEEMLY, AND RECEIVING IN THEMSELVES THAT RECOMPENSE OF
THEIR ERROR WHICH WAS MEET." [Romans 1:24-27]
Which is consistent with Jewish sources in conveying the etymology of
SATURNALIA as #466 = שנאה טמונה (śinʾâ ṭǝmûnâ) a "hidden hatred" and
perhaps an çûwth (H5496): *INSTIGATED* (*BAD* *SENSE*) *ENTICEMENT*.

(H2400)
We must therefore respectfully disagree with the view expressed within a
BIGTHINK.COM article dated 23 DECEMBER 2022 by JONNY THOMSON, who
despite teaching philosophy at Oxford, conveys opinions which are
lacking academic integrity: "The fact that pagan festivals had their own
mid-winter celebrations did not challenge Christianity but confirmed it.
It showed that Jesus was at the core of all things [and he didn't die on
25 MARCH but 3 APRIL 33 AD], even before his Incarnation. When the
Romans celebrated Saturnalia, the Greeks celebrated MITHRAS [despite the
emergent soldier cultus of the Roman Imperium being well established by
#71 AD as dominion], or the Egyptians celebrated Isis around the same
time, this only showed that they were stumbling closer to the truth —
the truth of Christ.
<https://bigthink.com/the-past/no-christmas-not-stolen-pagan-festival/>
The nature of the inadequate response to the Sunday Sacredness question
(ie. since the Apostle Peter was and remained Jewish who still received
death threats at passover 10 years after the crucifixion), a vehement
dogmatic contempt for same sex Marriage due to a reliance upon
PYTHAGOREAN BIPARTITE (@1 - SOVEREIGN / AUTONOMOUS DYNAMIC, @5 - ROMAN
STATE) #1080 - HETEROS THEORY OF NUMBER philosophical foundations and a
resolute silence on the Christology v's Caesar as King dynamic, clearly
conveys that the Church did compete with pagan worship. Whilst there may
not have been any cynical, deliberate “theft” or “appropriation”, there
was by the remnant Jewish / Christians Community who were subject to
pogroms in accordance with a doctrine of Resurrection from the Dead, a
purposed infection of the Roman host by an intentioned osmosis.
Modern understanding of the festival is pieced together from several
accounts dealing with various aspects. The SATURNALIA was the dramatic
setting of the multivolume work of that name by Macrobius (c. 431 AD), a
Latin writer from late antiquity who is the major source for information
about the holiday. Macrobius describes the reign of Justinus' "king
Saturn" as "a time of great happiness, both on account of the universal
plenty that prevailed and because as yet there was no division into bond
and free – as one may gather from the *COMPLETE* *LICENSE* enjoyed by
slaves at the SATURNALIA. [Wikipedia: Saturnalia]

It would therefore behove us to further consider the notion of
"EXPANSION IN EVERY CASE RESIDES AT CENTER" in relation to the lóng
(戾龍): dragon and its expression of #6 - CONTRARIETY (LI) which by
equivalent temporal reference as Winter Solstice and cosmic patterning
conduct which then has a more *PERFECT*-G197: KNOWLEDGE OF THE WAY [Acts
24:22] correspondence to the SATURNALIA festival: "This oddly
anthropomorphic sentiment reflects a strong imbalance in the forces of
yin and yang ch'i, associated with dark and light respectively. In the
Center tetragram, for example, we see solid lines occupying every
position in the graphic symbol. Yin and yang, then, challenge each other
at a particular point in the cycie when the imbalance is strongest. As
the forces for good and evil confront one another in the darkness of
primal origin, of midwinter, and of the hidden recesses of the heart and
mind, the separation of polarities out of the indeterminate Mystery is
bound to be premature and inauspicious.
In the Five Phases correlations, the image of warfare is related to
Fire, the patron phase of this Appraisal, which has succeeded the Water
found in the preceding Appraisal. Appraisals are alternately yang (day,
auspicious) and yin (night, inauspicious) in relation to each other.
Yang Hsiung explains this by ALTERNATING REFERENCES TO THE STATE OF MIND
OF THE NOBLE MAN (ALIGNED WITH YANG) AND THE PETTY MAN (ALIGNED WITH
YIN). The pitched battle of Appraisal 2 takes place, he tells us,
because "the petty man's heart and mind are undiscriminating," tending
to segregate what should be undifferentiated during the first Head's
dominance. By contrast, "The worthy man by his actions unites the many
kinds [of being]."
APPRAISAL #3: The dragon [lóng (龍)] emerges at the center (#1 - 𝌆中
(zhōng) = #457),
Its head and tail stretch forth,
Fit for use.
FATHOMING #3: Dragon emerging at center
Means: It reveals its creativity.
Few Chinese images are as rich in associations as that of the dragon.
The first Chinese dictionary (ca. A.D. 100) describes the dragon as
"chief among the scaly creatures. It can be dark or brilliant, small or
large, short or long. At the vernal equinox (#21 / #472), it ascends to
the sky; at the autumnal equinox (#61 / #512), it hides in the deeps."
The dragon is protean and timely; it marks two critical points in the
annual cycle by its ascent and descent. Thus it is associated with
virile yang ch'i, with the East and Spring, and with the growth of the
myriad things on earth.
In the first hexagram of the Changes, a sequence of dragon images
portrays the exemplary man in reclusion (the unseen dragon in line 1),
in office (the dragon in the fields in line 2), and at the summit of
political power (the dragon flying in the sky in line 5). At least this
is the way orthodox commentators have explained these enigmatic texts.
They argue that the dragon symbolizes the noble man who fulfills his
potential by conforming to the present situation.
The dragon found in Appraisal 3, when compared with these pictures of
the dragon in the Changes, is neither entirely hidden nor fully
apparent. With the separation of nascent yang from the primal darkness,
the dragon has emerged from the waters barely enough to reveal its head
and tail. Yet even before the dragon appears in its full glory, it is
recognized as "fit for use," in clear contrast to the hidden dragon in
the Changes. Why? Another Chinese classic defines "usefulness" in terms
of adherence to #48 - *RITUAL* (LI).

the self and others ends in misfortune.

*THE* *FUNDAMENTAL* *DISTINCTIONS* *UNDERLYING* *A* *CIVILIZED* *ORDER*.
In early China, the husband tended to public matters outside the home
while the wife managed the domestic sphere inside the family residence.
Through this division of responsibilities the family maintained harmony
and material welfare. The fruitful nature of male/female complementarity
is one theme found in the Changes:
Heaven and Earth are opposites, but their action is concerted. Man and
Woman are opposites, but their wills conjoin. The myriad things stand in
opposition to one another, but their actions are by type." [@1, pages
121, 122]
CONTINUATION OF TETRAD #1 - CENTER (CHUNG): "Through #48 - *RITUAL*
(LI), Yang's exemplar keeps his integrity (his "exact center''), despite
the ups and downs of fortune. Yang equally emphasizes the importance of
timeliness:
What is meant by "dragon emerging at center"? It says that the
characteristic virtue of the dragon is apparent for the first time. If
the yin has not reached its highest point, then yang will not be born.
If disorder has not reached its highest point, then virtue will not
assume form. The noble man cultivates virtue, thereby awaiting the
proper moment [to act]. He does not rise up before the proper moment,
nor draw back after it has already passed. Whether in action or at rest,
whether obscure or eminent, he does not stray from the norm. Can this be
said of anyone but the noble man? Thus "head and tail are fit for use."
This is Yang's answer to one of the great questions of his time. The
best minds of China had accepted the Confucian ideal of government
service, but in the declining days of Western Han most men of principle
could look forward, if not to rejection, then to blocked careers like
Yang's own, or even to disgrace or dismissal. In this Appraisal Yang
sees political chaos not as a permanent state but as a precursor to
constructive yang activity. His exemplar, in keeping to the exact
center, never fails to serve as a norm for others in a social order
ideally based upon moral example. Personal virtue is charismatic;
eventually it turns disorder into order. YANG HSIUNG saw in the disorder
of his time a need not for superficial pacification of society ("law and
order"), but the reinstitution of a stable, hierarchic society ruled by
a moral elite. Once again, Yang appears to be making a play on one word:
the dragon's tail is both "truly" (hsin) fit for use and "stretched out"
(shen), ready for action. (For the same pun, see the first Head text above.)
In cosmogony, Appraisal 3 of this tetragram corresponds to a third stage
of existence. Following primal chaos (stage 1) and the separation of yin
and yang ch'i (stage 2), the first emergence of forms (stage 3)
foreshadows the proliferation of phenomena in the world as we know it
(stage 4)." [@1, pages 89, 90]
