When they had acted again as instructed, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. They came and filled both boats. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, 'Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!' He and all that were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken. So were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.

Genius
Arthur Koestler
b. 9.5.1905 Budapest, Austria-Hungary
d. 3.1.1983 London, England, United Kingdom
Arthur Koestler was a Hungarian British author and journalist. His novel Darkness at Noon was published in 1940. It was an anti-totalitarian work drawn from his experience of Stalinism in Germany. It gained him international fame.
He espoused many political causes from his residence in Britain over the next 43 years. He wrote novels, memoirs, biographies and numerous essays.
He was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1972. The order rewards contributions to the arts and sciences, work with charitable and welfare organisations and public service outside the civil service in recognition of chivalry.
He maintained an anti-communist position throughout the rest of his career as a writer in both fiction and journalism. His political orientation was leftist despite this stance.
Budapest
Map
Budapest is strategically placed at the center of the Carpathian Basin in central Hungary. It lies on an ancient route linking the hills of Transdanubia with the Great Plain.
The Danube enters the city from the north. The river that separates the two parts of the city is 230 m (755 ft) wide at its narrowest point in Budapest. Pest lies on the flat terrain of the Great Plain while Buda is rather hilly.
The city's importance in terms of transportation is central. Many major European roads and European railway lines lead to Budapest. The Danube is still an important water-way. This region in the center of the Carpathian Basin lies at the cross-roads of trade routes.
"Buda" comes from the name of its founder a ccording to a legend recorded in chronicles from the Middle Ages. Bleda was brother to the Hun ruler Attila. Pest originates in the Slavic word for cave where fires burned for a limekiln.
Famous cultural institutions are the Hungarian National Museum, House of Terror, Franz Liszt Academy of Music, Hungarian State Opera House and National Széchényi Library.
Budapest is the capital and the most populous city of Hungary. It is the tenth-largest city in the European Union by population within city limits.
The 19th century was dominated by the Hungarian struggle for independence and modernization. The national insurrection against the Habsburgs began in the Hungarian capital in 1848. It was defeated one and a half years later with the help of the Russian Empire.
The year of Reconciliation that brought about the birth of Austria-Hungary was 1867. This made Budapest the twin capital of a dual monarchy. It was this compromise which opened the second great phase of development in the history of Budapest. The phase lasted until World War I.
The Chain Bridge linking Buda with Pest was opened as the first permanent bridge across the Danube in 1849. Buda and Pest were officially merged with the third part, Óbuda (Old Buda) in 1873. The new metropolis of Budapest was created.
The dynamic Pest grew into the country's administrative, political, economic, trade and cultural hub. Ethnic Hungarians overtook Germans in the second half of the 19th century due to mass migration from the overpopulated rural Transdanubia and Great Hungarian Plain.
The proportion of Hungarians increased from 35.6% to 85.9% between 1851 to 1910. Hungarian became the dominant language, and German was crowded out. The proportion of Jews peaked in 1900 with 23.6%.
Budapest was often called the "Jewish Mecca" or "Judapest" due to the prosperity and the large Jewish community of the city at the start of the 20th century. Austria-Hungary lost the war and collapsed in 1918. Hungary declared itself an independent republic (Republic of Hungary).
Arthur Koestler
Arthur was born in Budapest to Henrik and Adele Koestler. He was an only child. His father Henrik had been born on 18 August 1869 in the town of Miskolc in northeastern Hungary.
Arthur's mother, Adele (née Jeiteles), was born on 25 June 1871 into a prominent Jewish family in Prague. Adele's father, Jacob Jeiteles, moved the family to Vienna where she grew up in relative prosperity until about 1890.
Her father abandoned his wife and daughter when faced with financial difficulties and emigrated to the United States. Adele and her mother moved from Vienna to Budapest to stay with Adele's married sister.
Henrik Koestler met Adele in 1898 and married her in 1900. Arthur, their only child, was born on 5 September 1905.
The Koestlers lived in spacious, well-furnished, rented apartments in various predominantly Jewish districts of Budapest. They employed a cook/housekeeper as well as a foreign governess during Arthur's early years.
His primary school education started at an experimental private kindergarten founded by Laura Striker (née Polányi). Her daughter Eva Striker later became Koestler's lover. They remained friends all his life.
The outbreak of World War I in 1914 deprived Koestler's father of foreign suppliers. His business collapsed. The family faced destitution, so they moved temporarily to a boarding house in Vienna. When the war ended the family returned to Budapest.
Koestler and his family were sympathetic to the short-lived Hungarian Bolshevik Revolution of 1919. The small soap factory owned at the time by Koestler's father was nationalized. Henrik was appointed its director by the revolutionary government and was paid.
Even when Koestler had become an outspoken anti-Communist, he wrote favorably of the Hungarian Communists and their leader Béla Kun. He recalled fondly the hopes for a better future he had felt as a teenager in revolutionary Budapest.
The Koestler family witnessed the temporary occupation of Budapest by the Romanian Army and the White Terror under the right-wing regime of Admiral Horthy. The family returned to Vienna, where Henrik set up a successful new import business in 1920.
Arthur enrolled in the Vienna Polytechnic University to study engineering in September 1922. He joined a Zionist dueling student fraternity. He stopped attending lectures and was expelled for non-payment of fees when his father's latest business failed.
He wrote a letter to his parents in March 1926 telling them that he was going to Palestine for a year to work as an assistant engineer in a factory. He wanted to gain experience that would help him find a job in Austria.
He left Vienna for Palestine on 1 April 1926. He lived in a kibbutz for a few weeks, but his application to join the collective (Kvutzat Heftziba) was rejected by its members. He supported himself with menial jobs in Haifa, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for the next 12 months.
He often depended on friends and acquaintances for survival because he was frequently starving and penniless.
He occasionally wrote or edited broadsheets and other publications mostly in German. He left Palestine briefly in the spring of 1927 to run the Secretariat of Ze'ev Jabotinsky's Revisionist Party in Berlin.
Jabotinsky was a Ukrainian Jew who had proposed that the purpose of settlement in the homeland was to establish a political state.
David ben Gurion and Chaim Weizmann had recommended the practical approach which focused on the independent individuals' settling of Eretz Yisrael as a culture in the Palestinian state. Revisionist Zionism was focused on gaining the aid of Britain as a major power for settlement.
Palestine had been established by British mandate to partition the Ottoman empire after WWI.
Koestler obtained the position of Middle East correspondent through a friend for the prestigious Berlin-based Ullstein-Verlag group of newspapers later in 1927.
He returned to Jerusalem where for the next two years he produced detailed political essays as well as some lighter journalism for his principal employer and for other newspapers.
He traveled extensively, interviewed heads of state, kings, presidents and prime ministers. His reputation as a journalist was greatly enhanced. He came to realize that he would never really fit in Palestine's Zionist Jewish community, the Yishuv. He would not be able to have a journalistic career in Hebrew.
Koestler successfully lobbied at Ullstein for a transfer away from Palestine while on leave in Berlin in June 1929. He was sent to Paris to fill a vacancy in the bureau of the Ullstein News Service in September.
He was called to Berlin in 1931. He was appointed science editor of the Vossische Zeitung, a liberal publication. He was also made science adviser to the Ullstein newspaper empire.
The same year he was Ullstein's choice to represent the paper on board the Graf Zeppelin's Polar flight. The zeppelin carried a team of scientists and the polar aviator Lincoln Ellsworth close to the North Pole and back.
Koestler was the only journalist on board. His live wireless reports were broadcast in Europe. Subsequent articles and lecture tours brought him further kudos. He was appointed foreign editor and assistant editor-in-chief of the mass-circulation Berliner Zeitung am Mittag soon afterwards.
Koestler became a supporter of Marxism-Leninism in 1931. He was encouraged by Eva Striker and impressed by what he believed to be the achievements of the Soviet Union. He applied for membership of the Communist Party of Germany on 31 December 1931.
He was disappointed by the conduct of the Vossische Zeitung, the"Flagship of German Liberalism." It had adapted to changing times by firing Jewish journalists, hiring writers with marked German Nationalist views and dropping its longstanding campaign against capital punishment.
This led Koestler to the conclusion that Liberals and moderate Democrats could not stand against the rising Nazi tide. The Communists were the only real counter-force.
Koestler wrote a book on the Soviet Five-Year Plan. It did not meet with the approval of the Soviet authorities and was never published in Russian. A heavily censored German edition for German speaking Soviets was published.
He traveled to Turkmenistan and Central Asia in 1932. He returned to Paris in September 1933. He was active in the anti-Fascist movement of the Comintern for the next two years. The Comintern was an international communist organization. Koestler wrote propaganda under the direction of Willi Münzenberg.
He married Dorothy Ascher, a fellow Communist activist, in 1935. They separated amicably in 1937.
He visited General Francisco Franco in Seville during the Spanish Civil War in 1936. He pretended to be a Franco sympathizer. He used credentials from the London daily News Chronicle as cover.
He collected evidence of the direct involvement of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany on Franco's side.
The Nationalist rebels were trying to conceal the support. He had to escape after he was recognized and denounced as a Communist by a German former colleague.
He wrote L'Espagne Ensanglantée (Bloody Spain) when he returned to France. This was later incorporated into his book Spanish Testament.
He returned to Loyalist Spain as a war correspondent for the News Chronicle in 1937. He was in Málaga when it fell to Mussolini's troops. The Italian Fascists were fighting on the side of the Spanish Nationalists.
He took refuge in the house of retired zoologist Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell. They were both arrested by Franco's chief propagandist, Luis Bolín. Bolin had sworn that if he ever laid his hands on Koestler he would "shoot him like a dog".
He was imprisoned in Seville under sentence of death from February until June. He was eventually exchanged for a "high value" Nationalist prisoner held by the Loyalists, the wife of one of Franco's ace fighter pilots.
He became one of the few authors to have been sentenced to death. He wrote about the experience in Dialogue with Death.
His separated wife Dorothy Ascher had contributed to saving his life by months-long lobbying in Britain. They tried to resume their marriage when he arrived in Britain after his release. His gratitude to her proved insufficient for a daily life together.
He agreed to write a sex encyclopedia to support himself when he returned to France. It was published with the title The Encyclopœdia of Sexual Knowledge under the pseudonyms of "Drs A. Costler, A. Willy, and Others".
He finished work on his novel The Gladiators in July 1938. He became editor of Die Zukunft (The Future), a German-language weekly published in Paris in the same year.
He resigned from the Communist Party and started work on a new novel.
He was arrested as a spy. He endured three months in solitary. He combined his prison experience after his release in 1940 with his revulsion at the Moscow shows trials of Bukharin and the old Bolsheviks in Darkness at Noon.
Nicholas Rubashov was the vehicle for an abstract novel about crime, guilt and man's fate.
George Orwell would later praise the book as an example of prison literature. It tapped into the French literary criticism of cruelty in punishment in republican government. The mistreatment of the prisoners was depicted as motivation to escape the cruelty.
The Soviet Union is never mentioned explicitly. Readers took it as a polemical repudiation of Stalinism as with Orwell's Animal Farm.
Koestler was assigned to the Ministry of Information where he worked as a scriptwriter for propaganda broadcasts and films in March 1942. He continued to write in his spare time.
The international success of Darkness at Noon propelled Koestler into a literary and intellectual milieu for whom his writing became a touchstone for postwar culture.
Then, more than now, he was "indispensable". He appeared on progressive platforms to champion anything and everything from "cultural freedom" to the abolition of capital punishment.
Later travels to America and France became a rolling bacchanal of binge drinking, fashionable restaurants and sex with a dizzying array of star-struck young women.
When Koestler visited France in 1946, he was a celebrity in Paris. He was a rival to the film star glamour of Albert Camus. The reality of his relations with the intellectuals was bitter, drunken and maudlin.
He clicked with Camus, threw a wine glass at Sartre and ended up in bed with de Beauvoir. The authors of The Second Sex and Darkness at Noon saw at least one dawn that broke over liberated Paris with both sobbing into the Seine at "the tragedy of the human condition".
He traveled to Palestine with accreditation from The Times in December 1944. There he had a clandestine meeting with Menachem Begin, the head of the Irgun paramilitary organisation.
Begin was wanted by the British. He had a 500-pound bounty on his head. Koestler tried to persuade him to abandon militant attacks and accept a two-state solution for Palestine, but failed.
When he returned to England Mamaine Paget, whom he had started to see before going out to Palestine, was waiting for him. The couple moved to a cottage in Wales in August 1945.
He became a friend to George Orwell and joined the intellectual circle in the area. Bertrand Russell lived only a few miles from the Koestler home.
The state of Israel was less than a month old when the Manchester Guardian launched a series of articles by Koestler. The country had declared independence on 14 May 1948.
When war broke out between the newly declared state of Israel and the neighboring Arab states, Koestler was accredited by several newspapers. They were American, British and French. He traveled to Israel. Mamaine Paget went with him.
He arrived to an Israel that was considerably different from the regional powerhouse it is today. Israel’s untested leaders were gathering Jewish militant factions into one army and forming a nation of disparate Jews from across Europe and the Middle East.
The territory had been under the British Mandate for Palestine for close to three decades. The United Nations proposed in 1947 to split the area into two to form independent Arab and Jewish states. Civil war erupted. Jewish leaders later announced Israel’s creation.
The country was so young that the Israeli visas stamped on Koestler’s and his partner’s passports in Paris were numbered five and six. He found airport signs freshly painted in English and Hebrew on arrival. Immigration and customs officers had not yet received uniforms.
Israel had no clearly accepted borders but was hastily forming a government. The state was in the midst of a conflict with Arab Palestinians coupled with the invasion by surrounding states.
He wrote, “Here is bureaucracy in a state of virginal innocence before it has had time to spin itself into a cocoon of red tape” in his first article titled “Israel: First Impressions”.
Arthur and Mamaine arrived in Israel on 4 June and stayed there until October.
They decided to leave the UK for a while to live in France later that year. News that his long-pending application for British nationality had been granted reached him in late December. He returned to London to swear the oath of allegiance to the British Crown early in 1949.
Koestler had reached agreement with his first wife, Dorothy, on an amicable divorce. Their marriage was dissolved on 15 December 1949. This cleared the way for his marriage to Mamaine Paget on 15 April 1950 at the British Consulate in Paris.
He lobbied for permanent resident status in the U.S. in autumn. He bought a farm on a small island on the Delaware River near New Hope, Pennsylvania. A dramatized version of Darkness at Noon by Sidney Kingsley opened in New York in January 1951.
Koestler sent tickets for the play to his House sponsor Richard Nixon and his Senate sponsor Owen Brewster, a close confidant of Joseph McCarthy.
His marriage to Mamaine collapsed in August 1952. They separated, but remained close until her sudden and unexpected death in June 1954.
He decided to make his permanent home in Britain. He bought a three-storey Georgian town house on Montpelier Square in London in May 1953. He sold his houses in France and the United States.
Koestler interrupted his journey on his way back from a conference in San Francisco at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in early 1960. Some experimental research was going on with hallucinogens.
He tried psilocybin and had a "bad trip". Later, when he arrived at Harvard to see Timothy Leary, he experimented with more drugs. He was not enthusiastic about that experience either.
He undertook a lecture tour of various universities in California in November 1964. He married Cynthia Jefferies in New York in 1965. They moved to California where he participated in a series of seminars at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford.
He spent most of 1966 and the early months of 1967 working on The Ghost in the Machine. The title is a phrase coined by Oxford philosopher Gilbert Ryle to describe the Cartesian dualist account of the mind–body relationship. Koestler shares with Ryle the view that the mind of a person is not an independent non-material entity that temporarily inhabits the body to govern it.
Holarchy was developed from the concept of what Koestler called a holon. Everything in the nature of some thing is both a whole and a part. Atoms are whole in themselves, but also a part of a molecule. The brain as a holon has evolved from primitive mechanisms that are retained. This accounts for emotional distress and the violent inclinations that affect the ghost in the machine.
This premise is expressed as the basis to explain an otherwise accidental set of relations that occurs at the house of the central character, a serial murderer who goes by the name of Karl Hochman. His consciousness was set free from his body after his death to go on another killing spree.
The Ghost in the Shell movie based on the Japanese Manga is related insofar as the consciousness of a person is electronically transferred to the robotic shell of an android. The android experiences cognitive dissonance until she rediscovers the identity of her previous body as the shell for her person.
Koestler was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease early in 1976. He and Cynthia killed themselves on the evening of 1 March 1983 in an act of voluntary euthanasia. His suicide note stated that he also had a slow-killing variety of leukemia. Controversy arose over why Koestler allowed, consented to or compelled his wife's simultaneous suicide.
-----------------------
Koestler started to write Darkness at Noon before the Second World War. His experience as a communist writer preceded the change in his political position. His argument against totalitarianism was against socialism in any form. Both communism and fascism were discredited.
Socialism is not a functional economic position. Koestler had seen his father attempt to maintain a business during socialist swings in political favor. He had tried to find employment as an engineer with the better part of an undergraduate degree in education at a technical college. He sought employment in a political climate that entertained the battle between communism and fascism.
The argument against socialism is better than the one that is for it, but Koestler's activism amounted to an effort to make parliament liberal instead of socialist. His non-religious stand was not as offensive against the right to freedom of religion as anti-religious aggression, but it still didn't qualify as an improvement for representative constitutional government.
He had tried to join forces with the political organization for communism. The authority of the economic view was self-destructive. He became disillusioned. Successful business built its reputation by providing a service that people could afford yet would cover the costs of production to make a profit. Success in this was not as easy as the Marxist analysis would have the general population believe.
The philosophy for revolution established by Hegel had established dismissive rhetorical reduction that discarded the explanation of any functional concern to favor the power of overthrowing reason in political leadership.
Marx and Engels added labor as the primary demographic factor that was to be elevated over organization for the means of production in the government control of people. Professionalism from education was also to be subordinated to the official use of the "proletariat" to destroy success generated by capitalism.
The dynamics of revolutionary mechanics were such that the leadership was testing to see if they could get the public to believe that what they defined as unacceptable had to be replaced by something worse. It was dependent upon propaganda to accomplish that end.
The argument against socialism is significant in terms of the evolution of republic as a form of government. J. Edgar Hoover had formed his argument against communism as a form of sedition. His investigation was organized to catalog indexed references to red flags with respect for association with communism.
If Marx had just documented criticism against capitalism as critical analysis, his economic theory could have passed as an objective theory. His prediction that the capitalist system would have to be overthrown by a proletariat revolution made it a seditious doctrine against conservative measure in government.
Communism was also characterized by a pronounced anti-religious policy. Science in this kind of a culture wasn't as concerned with knowledge as it was with anti-religious policy supported by the rhetoric for the same.
Fascism was oriented toward industrial civilization like communism, but it was populist with respect for political organization. Religion was tolerated as a tool for the state.
They didn't need someone who was an educated professional in law or economics. A general (Franco), a former corporal who learned public speaking in beer halls (Hitler) or a self-taught political journalist (Mussolini) sufficed. The basic idea was to organize military force in order to win the battle with the communists.
Those who didn't pick communism or fascism were viewed as part of the problem. The middle class fell into this group. They weren't regarded as strong enough to make an impact on the world with government.
Ronald Reagan reintroduced the argument against socialism during his political career. He had gotten his degree in economics. His career in entertainment included participation in the leadership of political organization. He used his supply side economics to counter the leftist legacy established by FDR and perpetuated by Kennedy, Clinton and Obama.
Donald Trump was educated in economics at a business school. He extended his influence into mass media entertainment with reality based shows. His argument against socialism was presented in the context of his "Make America Great Again" platform.
His participation in the Republican debates helped to produce a policy to reform national security. He proposed that the country build a wall between Mexico and the US as an essential component of immigration reform. He ordered that Muslims from countries designated as hostile to the US be barred from entry.
It was much less punitive than rounding up the Japanese for internment during WWII as FDR had done. Americans of German and Italian heritage were categorized as potential criminals or communists.
Trump's position for Israel was even an improvement on that which was presented by Koestler.
Israel was left to build a republic with support from those who were sympathetic to the re-establishment of a state as the Jewish homeland.
It was redemption for republic as the form of government that had originally destroyed the capital of the kingdom and had the Jews dispersed to other locations to perpetuate the expansion of the Roman empire.
Koestler was critical of the Israeli republic when he described it as a dictatorship. Reports about democracy in republic have been characterized by prejudice against executive authority.
Even though populist inclinations have been more destructive towards representation of social or economic benefit for the people, the idea of inherited leadership in monarchy was regarded as unearned.
Elected leadership wasn't as bad because they had to campaign for election, but those who didn't speak like populists or socialists have been depicted as criminals due to the association with capitalism.
Koestler reported that the government was a dictatorship. It wouldn't allow citizens to own guns. It worked to establish elected leadership without term limits. Reports of government strategy favored brutally repressive accounts of action.
The violence wasn't as overstated as it had been with the French or Russian revolutions, but the reports didn't want to give terrorists the impression that the republic would tolerate violent attacks against citizens.
The French and the Russians were working to put down any threat of counter-revolution as soon as they were established. Israel was working to establish a government in a territory from which they had been banned since 70 CE. It was 1,875 years to the end of WWII.
President Trump expressed his approval to move the capital of the republic from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 2018.

It was no small thing when Giuliani said that Comey's conduct was criminal.
Comey was the director of the FBI from 2013 to 2017. He was preceded by Mueller who was the director from 2001 until 2013.
Mueller was then appointed to act as the special counsel from 2017-2019. Both Comey and Mueller were registered as Republicans, but they were working for liberals.
Coercive attacks against the American public started with Sandusky in 1999 at the end of the Clinton administration.
Representatives for cooperative leadership from minority groups were targeted with accusations of sexual assault. Hollywood starlets were included with implications of substance abuse to test for public reaction.
Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and Donald Trump were included among those who were accused of sexual misconduct. There was a build against those who were less competitive for societal leadership toward one who became the chief competitor for the executive office for the US.
This campaign of coercion wasn't just personal. It wasn't just partisan. It was part of the liberal mechanism to turn the public against those accused of misconduct by accusers whose accusations were testimonials against success in 'capitalist' society.
The media role on the import of personal testimony in the trial of the charge of criminal misconduct was being played for the benefit of liberal political policy as defined against the character of the representatives of conservative policy.
The fake news promoted by the liberal media has been instrumental in the promotion of dissent from the discontent for the institution of socialism as the economic force in the determination of political leadership.
If you count the number of people who were imprisoned or had their names destroyed by media expression, you'll find it easy to agree that the conduct that instituted the coercion was criminal.
This policy has had a negative impact on public policy in general and administrative decisions in the school system.
While No Child Left Behind had certain high stake issues that could have been used to close 'low performance' schools down, it had incentive as the core principle for judgment.
Race to the Top removed incentive and replaced it with punishment. Now that the national government influence is being reduced, the punitive policy has managed to retain its standing.
Students who are working on their assignments are denied hall passes for anything in what can only be defined as an effort to flush those dedicated to cooperative leadership into a place designated for punishment.
It's not like they would allow the 'illegals' as potential criminals to be suspended or expelled for misconduct that disrupted the course of instruction for other students. It was the student who had the potential to work for a better society that would get carted off to jail.
The replacement of incentive with punishment is a socialist mechanism. It is not good for society. It prevents achievement from reaching out to different social groups in American culture.

Dare to have mercy.
Mercy endures in memory

Beauty is in the strength of the song.

Smoke drifts slowly from the echo of dreams.
Things are not as certain as they seem.
The fragrant mist from the hyacinth
drifts in through the open window inch

The odor of nard had filled the room
where the bottle broke before the tomb

The earth's sweet being in the beginning in the garden of Eden

The penalty of death is not meant to kill

Simone de Beauvoir
b. 1.9.1908, Paris, France
d. 4.14.86, Paris, France
Paris
The Belle Époque was a period in the history of the city between the years 1871 to 1914. It lasted from the beginning of the Third French Republic until the First World War. It saw the construction of the Eiffel Tower, the Paris Métro, the completion of the Paris Opera and the beginning of the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre.
Three lavish "universal expositions" in 1878, 1889 and 1900 brought millions of visitors to Paris to sample the latest innovations in commerce, art and technology. Paris was the scene of the first public projection of a motion picture, and the birthplace of the Ballets Russes, Impressionism and Modern Art.
The expression Belle Époque ("beautiful era") came into use after the First World War. It was a nostalgic term for what seemed a simpler time of optimism, elegance and progress.
Marxism had a strong effect on French scientific philosophy. It was seen as the means to push the bureaucracy of government forward and backward into some small advance. It harbored anti-religious sentiment as a necessary proponent for change. Existentialism arose as a kind of mediation between the respective forms of socialism.
Existentialism doesn't promote achievement as a philosophy. It acquired a strong association with socialism because there was no celebration of civilized development.
Revolution was miscast as the only political development for social reform. Now that it has become institutionalized the threat of revolution is used to subvert political or social achievement.
Simone de Beauvoir was an anomaly to the socialist republic. She was one of the first women awarded a doctorate in philosophy.She had associations with existentialism, socialism and feminism, but her philosophy strove to identify these associations as affiliations that didn't endorse armed rebellion as the means to attain evolutionary change in legal reform.
Her overstatement for women was to become so pronounced that it resulted in some reform. Most of her work was for her personal benefit.
France was in a period where it was virtually inconceivable that an educated person could be anything other than a Marxist of some kind. Marx had moved to Paris in 1843.
The philosophical climate for mathematics and science in rational government was exploited by the anti-capitalist and anti-religious sentiments that were associated with his economic theory. It is not as though the difficulty was unique to France. The Second World War was fought over the different kinds of socialism.
Socialism is degenerate as an economic theory because it only represents industry in government.
The middle class is ruled out as having any significant designation as anything other than the 'problem.' Management and labor are engaged in a class struggle to dominate the political leadership.
Government is indicated as the default mechanism for the correction of the problem. Independent enterprise with capitalism is regarded as the cause of the middle class and economic inequality.
Simone de Beauvoir (Boo-vwa)
Simone de Beauvoir was born on 9 January 1908 into a bourgeois Parisian family in the 6th arrondissement. Sixieme also goes by the name of Luxembourg. It is on the left bank of the Seine River.
The left bank includes world-famous educational institutions such as the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the Académie française, the seat of the French Senate as well as a concentration of some of the most famous monuments in Paris such as Saint-Germain Abbey and square, St. Sulpice Church and square, the Pont des Arts and the Jardin du Luxembourg.
The 'left bank' is also synonymous with leftist culture. The bourgeois were the middle class. They adapted to the Marxist economic influence on French government by organizing within the social forms that featured what was best in culture. There was a conscious effort to offset the liberal competition for global commerce with conservative alliance.
Socialism didn't destroy development in Russia or China because of the long tradition of conservative policy in government. France allied with the large nations that favored the defense of national boundaries.
When the independence movement in African colonies took place in the 1960's, the French could pull out and retain alliance with the native government that took responsibility for governance.
Simone's parents were Georges Bertrand de Beauvoir, a legal secretary who once aspired to be an actor, and Françoise de Beauvoir (née Brasseur), a wealthy banker's daughter and devout Catholic. Simone's sister, Hélène, was born two years later.
The family struggled to maintain their bourgeois status after losing much of their fortune shortly after World War I. Françoise insisted that the two daughters be sent to a prestigious convent school.
Simone herself was deeply religious as a child. She intended to become a nun at one point. She lost her faith in her early teens and remained an atheist for the rest of her life.
This was a consequence of the adaptation to Marxist science. Socialist influence would not allow religion to participate in government. The dominant religion was associated with capitalism as the cause of the 'problem.' Economic success had to be 'managed' as a socialist product or it didn't receive recognition.
Simone studied mathematics at the Institut Catholique de Paris and literature/ languages at the Institut Sainte-Marie after passing baccalaureate exams in mathematics and philosophy in 1925.
She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne. She wrote her diplôme d'études supérieures after completing her degree in 1928. The diplome was roughly equivalent to a Master of Art thesis. Her topic was "Le concept chez Leibniz" ["The Concept in Leibniz"].
Beauvoir was only the ninth woman to have received a degree from the Sorbonne at the time. French women had only recently been allowed to join higher education. Women would not obtain the right to vote until 1944. Participation in the arts and literature allowed for a build in consensus that was acknowledged administratively in education.
She first worked with Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Claude Lévi-Strauss. All three completed their practice teaching requirements at the same secondary school. She sat in on courses at the École Normale Supérieure in preparation for the agrégation in philosophy even though she was not officially enrolled.
The agregation is a highly competitive postgraduate examination which serves as a national ranking for students. It was while studying for the agrégation that she met École Normale students Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul Nizan and René Maheu.
She wrote about her youth in Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter. She said: "...my father's individualism and pagan ethical standards were in complete contrast to the rigidly moral conventionalism of my mother's teaching. This disequilibrium, which made my life a kind of endless disputation, is the main reason why I became an intellectual."
Her first novel was published in 1943. The title was She Came to Stay." It is a fictionalized chronicle of her relation with Sartre and their relationship with Olga and Wanda Kosakiewicz.
Olga was one of her students in the Rouen secondary school where Beauvoir taught during the early 1930s. Sartre tried to pursue Olga but she rejected him, so he began a relationship with her sister Wanda.
Sartre was still supporting Wanda upon his death. He also supported Olga for years, until she met and married Jacques-Laurent Bost, a lover of Beauvoir.
The novel is set just before the outbreak of World War II. Beauvoir creates one character from the complex relationships of Olga and Wanda. The fictionalized versions of Beauvoir and Sartre have a ménage à trois with the young woman. The novel also delves into the couple's complex relationship and how it was affected.
She Came to Stay was followed by other works. The Blood of Others explored the nature of individual responsibility. It told a love story between two young French students participating in the Resistance in World War II.
Pyrrhus and Cineas was her first philosophical essay into existential ethics. Cineas asked Pyrrhus, "Then what?" after hearing the plan to conquer his next empire. The question posed an infinite regress. When rest was offered as the answer to the goal for the final conquest, Cineas asked "Why not start now?".
Simone presented the existentialist dilemma to favor Pyrrhus. Imperial expansion was seen as a metaphor for commercial, social or personal organization.
The question posed by Cineas haunts the formation of projects. We have to account for the reason for working to achieve any goal. The attitude of Pyrrhus was considered more authentic in that it is an attitude that directs itself forward toward goals that are not absolute.
Camus presented a similar dilemma in the story of Sisyphus. He proposed that the human condition had to resign itself to finding happiness in the accomplishment of a tedious task like pushing a boulder to the top of a hill. There is a certain protection of the right to privacy in either view, but brutishness in bureaucracy was also defended.
Personal justification does not have to be disclosed to the public when a product or service is being offered. There are times when advertising is misdirected by the intention to challenge the customer to judge the product with his or her observation of value. Their is respect for personal judgment when the advertisement is not fraudulent.
The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947) confronted the existentialist dilemma of absolute freedom vs. the constraints of circumstance. The ambiguity is that each of us is both subject and object.
Being is free and factual. We have the ability to take note of ourselves and choose what to do as free. We are constrained by physical limits, social barriers and the expectations and political power of others as fact.
Each of us is free to transcend individual limitation, yet constrained by the limitation of the transcendence.
The Second Sex was published in two volumes in 1949. It was later condensed into one text divided into two "books" in English. Very little serious philosophy on women from a feminist perspective had been done at the time that it had been written.
The main thesis revolves around the idea that woman has been held in a relationship to man through her relegation to being man's "Other." Beauvoir found that the self needs otherness in order to define itself as a subject. The self is often just as much objectified by its other as the self objectifies it. Man takes on the role of self in society. He is the subject. She is the other.
Physiological occurrences in no way directly cause woman to be man's subordinate. Biology and history are not mere "facts" of an unbiased observer. They are always incorporated into and interpreted from a situation.
She acknowledged that psychoanalysis and historical materialism contributed insight into the sexual, familial and material life of woman, but failed to account for the whole picture.
Psychoanalysis denied the reality of choice. Historical materialism neglected to take into account the existential importance of the phenomena it reduced to material conditions.
She wrote "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman" at the start of the second book. She traced the education of woman from her childhood, through her adolescence and finally to her experiences of lesbianism and sexual initiation (if she has any).
She asserted that women are forced to relinquish their claims to transcendence and authentic subjectivity by a progressively more stringent acceptance of the "passive" and "alienated" role to man's "active" and "subjective" demands at each stage.
She presented the roles of wife, mother and prostitute to show how women, instead of transcending through work and creativity, were forced into monotonous existences of having children, tending house and being the sexual receptacles of the male libido.
She advocated such changes in social structures such as universal childcare, equal education, contraception and legal abortion for women. She proposed woman's economic freedom and independence from man.
This argument reads like Locke's position against absolute power for monarchy. It became an advocacy for his universal power for his parliamentarian authority. It worked out as something worse insofar as a number of different parliamentarians began to work to produce an inheritance for their legacy as something more important than that of the hereditary succession.
The Parliamentarian may work harder or not as hard as a monarch, but the authority works to take more from the people to establish a legacy by virtue of the legislative reform that was supposed to be enacted conservatively. Fake news became imperative in order to deceive the public into agreement to pay more in taxes.
The Mandarins won her France's highest literary prize, the Prix Goncourt, in 1954. It was translated into English in 1956 The book is set after the end of World War II and follows the personal lives of philosophers and friends among Sartre's and de Beauvoir's intimate circle. It included her relationship with American writer Nelson Algren to whom the book was dedicated.
The title refers to the scholar-bureaucrats of imperial China. The characters at times saw themselves as ineffectual "mandarins" as they attempted to discern what role, if any, intellectuals would have in influencing the political landscape of the world after World War II.
The themes of feminism, existentialism and personal morality are explored as the characters navigate not only the intellectual and political landscape but also their shifting relationships with each other. It defaults to the feminist form of socialism as a device for personal gain.
Beauvoir became active in France's women's liberation movement in the 1970's. Abortion was legalized in France in 1974. Socialism had imposed a bureaucratic stagnancy that another form had to correct for the legal reform.
Beauvoir died of pneumonia on 14 April 1986. She was 78 years old. She is buried next to Sartre at the Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.

Marxism had a strong effect on French scientific philosophy. It was seen as the means to push the bureaucracy of government forward and backward into some small advance. It harbored anti-religious sentiment as a necessary proponent for change. Existentialism arose as a kind of mediation between the respective forms of socialism.
Existentialism doesn't promote achievement as a philosophy. It acquired a strong association with socialism because there was no celebration of civilized development.
Revolution was miscast as the only political development for social reform. Now that it has become institutionalized the threat of revolution is used to subvert political or social achievement.
Simone de Beauvoir was an anomaly to the socialist republic. She was one of the first women awarded a doctorate in philosophy.She had associations with existentialism, socialism and feminism, but her philosophy strove to identify these associations as affiliations that didn't endorse armed rebellion as the means to attain evolutionary change in legal reform.
Her overstatement for women was to become so pronounced that it resulted in some reform. Most of her work was for her personal benefit.
France was in a period where it was virtually inconceivable that an educated person could be anything other than a Marxist of some kind. Marx had moved to Paris in 1843.
The philosophical climate for mathematics and science in rational government was exploited by the anti-capitalist and anti-religious sentiments that were associated with his economic theory. It is not as though the difficulty was unique to France. The Second World War was fought over the different kinds of socialism.
Socialism is degenerate as an economic theory because it only represents industry in government.
The middle class is ruled out as having any significant designation as anything other than the 'problem.' Management and labor are engaged in a class struggle to dominate the political leadership.
Government is indicated as the default mechanism for the correction of the problem. Independent enterprise with capitalism is regarded as the cause of the middle class and economic inequality.
Simone de Beauvoir (Boo-vwa)
Simone de Beauvoir was born on 9 January 1908 into a bourgeois Parisian family in the 6th arrondissement. Sixieme also goes by the name of Luxembourg. It is on the left bank of the Seine River.
The left bank includes world-famous educational institutions such as the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the Académie française, the seat of the French Senate as well as a concentration of some of the most famous monuments in Paris such as Saint-Germain Abbey and square, St. Sulpice Church and square, the Pont des Arts and the Jardin du Luxembourg.
The 'left bank' is also synonymous with leftist culture. The bourgeois were the middle class. They adapted to the Marxist economic influence on French government by organizing within the social forms that featured what was best in culture. There was a conscious effort to offset the liberal competition for global commerce with conservative alliance.
Socialism didn't destroy development in Russia or China because of the long tradition of conservative policy in government. France allied with the large nations that favored the defense of national boundaries.
When the independence movement in African colonies took place in the 1960's, the French could pull out and retain alliance with the native government that took responsibility for governance.
Simone's parents were Georges Bertrand de Beauvoir, a legal secretary who once aspired to be an actor, and Françoise de Beauvoir (née Brasseur), a wealthy banker's daughter and devout Catholic. Simone's sister, Hélène, was born two years later.
The family struggled to maintain their bourgeois status after losing much of their fortune shortly after World War I. Françoise insisted that the two daughters be sent to a prestigious convent school.
Simone herself was deeply religious as a child. She intended to become a nun at one point. She lost her faith in her early teens and remained an atheist for the rest of her life.
This was a consequence of the adaptation to Marxist science. Socialist influence would not allow religion to participate in government. The dominant religion was associated with capitalism as the cause of the 'problem.' Economic success had to be 'managed' as a socialist product or it didn't receive recognition.
Simone studied mathematics at the Institut Catholique de Paris and literature/ languages at the Institut Sainte-Marie after passing baccalaureate exams in mathematics and philosophy in 1925.
She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne. She wrote her diplôme d'études supérieures after completing her degree in 1928. The diplome was roughly equivalent to a Master of Art thesis. Her topic was "Le concept chez Leibniz" ["The Concept in Leibniz"].
Beauvoir was only the ninth woman to have received a degree from the Sorbonne at the time. French women had only recently been allowed to join higher education. Women would not obtain the right to vote until 1944. Participation in the arts and literature allowed for a build in consensus that was acknowledged administratively in education.
She first worked with Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Claude Lévi-Strauss. All three completed their practice teaching requirements at the same secondary school. She sat in on courses at the École Normale Supérieure in preparation for the agrégation in philosophy even though she was not officially enrolled.
The agregation is a highly competitive postgraduate examination which serves as a national ranking for students. It was while studying for the agrégation that she met École Normale students Jean-Paul Sartre, Paul Nizan and René Maheu.
She wrote about her youth in Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter. She said: "...my father's individualism and pagan ethical standards were in complete contrast to the rigidly moral conventionalism of my mother's teaching. This disequilibrium, which made my life a kind of endless disputation, is the main reason why I became an intellectual."
Her first novel was published in 1943. The title was She Came to Stay." It is a fictionalized chronicle of her relation with Sartre and their relationship with Olga and Wanda Kosakiewicz.
Olga was one of her students in the Rouen secondary school where Beauvoir taught during the early 1930s. Sartre tried to pursue Olga but she rejected him, so he began a relationship with her sister Wanda.
Sartre was still supporting Wanda upon his death. He also supported Olga for years, until she met and married Jacques-Laurent Bost, a lover of Beauvoir.
The novel is set just before the outbreak of World War II. Beauvoir creates one character from the complex relationships of Olga and Wanda. The fictionalized versions of Beauvoir and Sartre have a ménage à trois with the young woman. The novel also delves into the couple's complex relationship and how it was affected.
She Came to Stay was followed by other works. The Blood of Others explored the nature of individual responsibility. It told a love story between two young French students participating in the Resistance in World War II.
Pyrrhus and Cineas was her first philosophical essay into existential ethics. Cineas asked Pyrrhus, "Then what?" after hearing the plan to conquer his next empire. The question posed an infinite regress. When rest was offered as the answer to the goal for the final conquest, Cineas asked "Why not start now?".
Simone presented the existentialist dilemma to favor Pyrrhus. Imperial expansion was seen as a metaphor for commercial, social or personal organization.
The question posed by Cineas haunts the formation of projects. We have to account for the reason for working to achieve any goal. The attitude of Pyrrhus was considered more authentic in that it is an attitude that directs itself forward toward goals that are not absolute.
Camus presented a similar dilemma in the story of Sisyphus. He proposed that the human condition had to resign itself to finding happiness in the accomplishment of a tedious task like pushing a boulder to the top of a hill. There is a certain protection of the right to privacy in either view, but brutishness in bureaucracy was also defended.
Personal justification does not have to be disclosed to the public when a product or service is being offered. There are times when advertising is misdirected by the intention to challenge the customer to judge the product with his or her observation of value. Their is respect for personal judgment when the advertisement is not fraudulent.
The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947) confronted the existentialist dilemma of absolute freedom vs. the constraints of circumstance. The ambiguity is that each of us is both subject and object.
Being is free and factual. We have the ability to take note of ourselves and choose what to do as free. We are constrained by physical limits, social barriers and the expectations and political power of others as fact.
Each of us is free to transcend individual limitation, yet constrained by the limitation of the transcendence.
The Second Sex was published in two volumes in 1949. It was later condensed into one text divided into two "books" in English. Very little serious philosophy on women from a feminist perspective had been done at the time that it had been written.
The main thesis revolves around the idea that woman has been held in a relationship to man through her relegation to being man's "Other." Beauvoir found that the self needs otherness in order to define itself as a subject. The self is often just as much objectified by its other as the self objectifies it. Man takes on the role of self in society. He is the subject. She is the other.
Physiological occurrences in no way directly cause woman to be man's subordinate. Biology and history are not mere "facts" of an unbiased observer. They are always incorporated into and interpreted from a situation.
She acknowledged that psychoanalysis and historical materialism contributed insight into the sexual, familial and material life of woman, but failed to account for the whole picture.
Psychoanalysis denied the reality of choice. Historical materialism neglected to take into account the existential importance of the phenomena it reduced to material conditions.
She wrote "One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman" at the start of the second book. She traced the education of woman from her childhood, through her adolescence and finally to her experiences of lesbianism and sexual initiation (if she has any).
She asserted that women are forced to relinquish their claims to transcendence and authentic subjectivity by a progressively more stringent acceptance of the "passive" and "alienated" role to man's "active" and "subjective" demands at each stage.
She presented the roles of wife, mother and prostitute to show how women, instead of transcending through work and creativity, were forced into monotonous existences of having children, tending house and being the sexual receptacles of the male libido.
She advocated such changes in social structures such as universal childcare, equal education, contraception and legal abortion for women. She proposed woman's economic freedom and independence from man.
This argument reads like Locke's position against absolute power for monarchy. It became an advocacy for his universal power for his parliamentarian authority. It worked out as something worse insofar as a number of different parliamentarians began to work to produce an inheritance for their legacy as something more important than that of the hereditary succession.
The Parliamentarian may work harder or not as hard as a monarch, but the authority works to take more from the people to establish a legacy by virtue of the legislative reform that was supposed to be enacted conservatively. Fake news became imperative in order to deceive the public into agreement to pay more in taxes.
The Mandarins won her France's highest literary prize, the Prix Goncourt, in 1954. It was translated into English in 1956 The book is set after the end of World War II and follows the personal lives of philosophers and friends among Sartre's and de Beauvoir's intimate circle. It included her relationship with American writer Nelson Algren to whom the book was dedicated.
The title refers to the scholar-bureaucrats of imperial China. The characters at times saw themselves as ineffectual "mandarins" as they attempted to discern what role, if any, intellectuals would have in influencing the political landscape of the world after World War II.
The themes of feminism, existentialism and personal morality are explored as the characters navigate not only the intellectual and political landscape but also their shifting relationships with each other. It defaults to the feminist form of socialism as a device for personal gain.
Beauvoir became active in France's women's liberation movement in the 1970's. Abortion was legalized in France in 1974. Socialism had imposed a bureaucratic stagnancy that another form had to correct for the legal reform.
Beauvoir died of pneumonia on 14 April 1986. She was 78 years old. She is buried next to Sartre at the Montparnasse Cemetery in Paris.

Heaven opens. Light descends.
Sight is given the right to see.
People are seen to dream as friends.
Each ascends or descends with the end to be free.
Angelic intelligence opens the mind to perceive.
Insight is given the right to breathe.
People conceive what they believe they can achieve.
Each seeks likeness in the presence above that which is beneath.
Love has redemptive power.
It transforms idiosyncrasy.
The power works by the hour
to make production a reality.
Dependence on fossil fuels
risks toxins and pollutants.
Gas from fuel burns to pop pistons
to turn rods in turbine for electricity in jules
and provides light to fight against violent disputants
and arrogant mules.
Medical care, business and transportation are powered.
Food is cooled or heated for storage or consumption.
Electricity powered the hours taken to destroy the World Trade Center towers.
Destruction was the consumption of function for the compunction of unction.
Cool air wards off death by heat exhaustion.
Heat prevents frozen cardiac arrest in the stressed chest.
Horse poop in the street lost a ton of tossing in the option.
Sewage treatment reduced epidemic disease the best.
We are insignificantly significant.
Our unremarkable star is remarkably magnificent
in infinitely emitting energy for those who are innocent.
Our magnificence is a typical galaxy event.
Marvelous things have been done for us.
Medicine treats illness until we find something better.
Victory with love makes our trust most august.
Justice must keep this thrust to meet morality's weather.
Good diet and exercise improve health in competition.
Health makes music with joy in the sight of all the nations.
The omission of cognition is not good for volition.
The relation of ideation is the foundation for sensation's elation
in education.
Lift up your voice. Rejoice and sing with elation.
Instruments make notes for the revelation of sensation.
The pluck or stroke of the string for the resonant ring is born.
The pumped force through the chambered conic adorns the sound of air as horn.
Each color that passion wore
made sadness or joy the thing to bring.
Let the hills ring with happiness galore.
Let the rivers speak sadly of tragic things.
Let the alleys flatly express the cubic savvy and straightness of the less
than Stonehenge meant astronomical bent in the strategy for family gravity.
Let the world be judged for rightness
with the measure of equity's levity without depravity.
The less mess that the light does bless
will result in the most ecstatic content with consent.
Be brave for love. Be kind to others.
It will make you a better father, mother,
sister, brother or other.
The bract fall softly
by the gutter on the eaves.
My mind sits tired, awfully alone even for me.
My image is caressed on the surface of the water under trees.
I can hear so faintly
my mother and father whispering urgently
after the spring shower had fed the intense intent of leaves.
The tall tree stands strong with the ability to sway.
The wind gives the osprey a place to stay.
He cries crassly as the officer who arrests the day.
The heron's trail walks down the beach
like a broken comb sifting with sight and beak
through wet sand for a peek of a slug as succulent as a peach.
The bikini clad chica walks slowly in the sand.
She takes a moment to block the sun with the palm of her hand.
The sun threatens to take her heart like an offering for the land.
Her blood flows firmly to deny the sacrifice as damned.
The crow marches by the river
as the marshal whose parade the march delivered.
The rowboat sent out shivers that shimmered
as a sign of the movement giver.
Unshaken visitors thrash the river banks for relief
as the water wrings itself clean of grief
through the dirty sponge of marshy disbelief
while another coat of color is mixed for the bandstand seats.
A fleet of Harleys rumble through the square.
Some ride single; some in pairs.
We have seen the postcards of panthers,
funny answers and babies dressed in pampers.
We know that Florida harbors bikini clad dancers.
Let winged fancy wander
through the thought spread beyond her.
Open wide the science conditioned door.
Imagination will dart out and upward soar.
Lusty Spring takes in beauty as easy as a new born deer
when imagination has let fancy seek perception as the seer.
This is the law that has been delivered.
Love others as you saw love given from the Giver.
Blood is pumped by the heart and cleansed by the liver.
Nutrients are delivered as the body's embodied dinner.
Love is the substance that makes your heart grow quicker.
Stand tall. Be brave. Please deliver as a giver.
Redemption is against the compunction
for unction.
Psalm 98 Cantate Domino
1 Sing to the Lord a new song, *
for he has done marvelous things.
2 With his right hand and his holy arm *
has he won for himself the victory.
3 The Lord has made known his victory; *
his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the nations.
4 He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel, *
and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
5 Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands; *
lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing.
6 Sing to the Lord with the harp, *
with the harp and the voice of song.
7 With trumpets and the sound of the horn *
shout with joy before the King, the Lord.
8 Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, *
the lands and those who dwell therein.
9 Let the rivers clap their hands, *
and let the hills ring out with joy before the Lord,
when he comes to judge the earth.
10 In righteousness shall he judge the world *
and the peoples with equity.
Acts 10:45

This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.
