The Christianna Before Christmas

Version 7

God, "All the world's a stage," William Shakespeare.

Angels, "There are more things in heaven and on Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy," William Shakespeare.

Man, "To be, or not to be: that is the question: / Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer / The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, / Or to take arms against a sea of troubles," William Shakespeare.

The Christianna

E(v)/il

Hate

Violent rivalry

Precocious psychological humour

    The Christianna, imagine a society in which people calculated the quality of existence exactly past the fate worse than death, and corrected for it.  Imagine a society in which Christianity did not have a voice anymore because we have lived the fate worse than death together for it.  Black lives matter.  Imagine a society in which Anna's resurrection could be performed on the living.  Return to aesthetic balance from the fate worse than death.  Remember, collective fate is still composed of individual fate, and so we can draw on one another for strength, and overcome the pain of history.

The Lowerarchy of Orders

A lowerarchy is the opposite of a hierarchy.

Art. Concatenation points to "a series of interconnected things or events."  My thinking is that these series (as a plurality) start at one and are different from each other in that the one that starts them is different almost every time.

The Christianna Before Christmas, a play

by Hakon Borgen

dramatis personae

Anna, suffering the fate worse than death right before Jesus' birth (kind of rains on his parade)

Jesus, born on Christmas day

Glen, the Christiannan priest

Laity, who hail him as the pumpkin king

A strong grandmother, who says the virgin miracle of Mary is a posthumanistic story about impregnating gay men.

Concerned Aunt: part of the Laity

Act 1

Scene 1

Grandmother:  "You don't believe me?  There's no miracle.  The story of Mary was about futuristic sex technology able to impregnate woman without sex with a man because gay women are of that opinion of men that they are monsters."

Glen: "Why have you said this grandmother?  We are not monsters."

Grandmother: "It's true.  Gay men thought about being pregnant in the same way that Mary became pregnant.  That's why the story exists."

Glen: "Men that are monsters.  That's why I'm still single."

Grandmother: "They are at Halloween."

Act 5-8

The priest is in chambers reading email.

The Laity hail him as Pumpkin King virtually.

Laity: "Hail!  Pumpkin King!"

Priest: "Fine I'll be a Pumpkin King."

Concerned Aunt: "I'll put on the filter."

Pumpkin King:  "Now tell me, what's wrong?"

Laity moans.

Laity: "I don't like your sermons.  I don't understand.  Why are you writing plays about priests and churches."

Priest: "Actually I'm not in a church.  The Christianna has no churches."

Laity: "Where are you then?"

Priest: "Under the Ocean blue in my decorated room."

He laughs.

Priest: "That's how I decorated."

Philosophy.  A version is a way of starting.  God, Angels, Man, Heaven, Earth, Me, π, 1010103, the Christianna, Go(o)d, E(v)/il.  This is the way that I have designed to begin a Version.  This blog post is what I call a version.  I will be writing versions probably for the rest of my life because I set myself up pretty good with academics and destiny.

Industrial Physics.  Crossing Lines

Science & Nature.  Everything Empirical.  Basically everything I'm not interested in in this blog.

Religion.  No rules.
