Dear Dante

In this letter, I would like to start reminding you about your nine muses and especially two of them.
Known for inspiring humanity and deities alike, overall Clio and Polymatheia
call my attention.
Their names and significance have relevance not acknowledged beyond the artistically wired.

Before exposing to u my thoughts, ideas and conundrums I would like to allude to my humble and honourable intentions of these writings.
I might have outwitted the burden of my colonial mum and found my self-worth, though do pledge to my daughters the solemn promise, never will I turn an entitled one.

Having been a muse for writer, painter, musician and sculpture since youth and overall then I felt flattered. Until much later in life, I started to realise the compendium representing and hence the reason I was their muse. These artists were inspired or maybe better said distracted by me to let their flow become unhindered.

Now muses, meditation or other kinds of stimulants allow us to vibrate at an Alpha level, which translates to the power of now. Written and explained by a german called Eckhart Tolle. Where if u must, we are but one, a metaphysical glimpse of the creation.
Pantheism so ancient but made popularly known by Baruch Espinosa, a Sefardie born in my beloved town, although he did not enjoy popularity during the writing and living, specifically by his kin, was he indeed secretly admired and supported. Hence his work printed after he met his maker, ok went to the organic state.

Neither of the two extended much about the role of women, though more than Voltaire, Kant, Descartes or for the sake of equality Platon.
Each of them respected for their contribution to menkind but never better said< menkind. Women ignored and belittled, pushed into roles where they could not interfere with the way of men.

Indeed Voltaire was sharp when he exclaimed that politics was the way for men without principles, to direct men without memory. Though not accurate, as it seems memory failure is not the only problem. The link between megalomaniacs, narcissists and other cousins of psychopaths all roaming free in governments and big ass enterprises seems a Nexus beyond acuity of most men. By all means, most of the menkind has a profound dislike of Adolf but looks deliberately the other way when Erdogan kills ethnicities with enthusiasm.

Reckon Trump and Putin got their pawns at the power board strategically slapped, hence the reason for the shaky sound of protest. Suspect them to be high on dopamine most of their lives, where others form small Burroughs of religious value mostly to counteract the grotesque yet envied power yielded by mayor players. Consequently, we have roaming all these gaffers exclaiming to possess the truth written by, give him a name.

Sour humour it is to acknowledge the bible or the koran but claim to be mythology the Edda or the Theogony. More truth resides in gods being just as human than gods despising us human where we made after their liking.
Not much sense in that right…but back to my conundrum.

As u might realise we are now in the era of 2020 and I have thrown up some name from now and back then, the names may have changed however the men have the same disposition and thoughts. The male has a rational character and the female a potential more emotional and intuitive.
Putting aside misogynists, jews, Nietzsche, oligarchs and other pranksters, we are in the era of technology, therefore, science should be our ally.

We know about hyperandrogenic women and testosterone-producing tumours, it all has the same effect called aggressiveness. Same result in men when oestrogen is taking over their body, a display of empathy and an evolving ego…how about that. Do they take the conclusions on board, nooo they do not. U wonder why I guess, well my dear Dante a long long time ago men understood that the power was eluding them.

Evasive to them, because of the miracle called birth. Times of the Sumerians, the Egyptians and even the Celtic had Goddesses either ruling or adored. That ended when they realised their two-minute pleasure was the counterpart of the miracle birthing of little humans. I hope to maintain your interest a while longer dear Dante as I am coming near my view to share, that view so clear though so unseen by many.

Wise men and women talk about change with the focus on external change like shifting fuels etc or internal change by shifting thought patterns, getting rid of the dysfunction of the egoic mind. That translates into pretty much where we are at this very moment, competitive, materialistic, selfish, greedy and sovereignly ignorant. Is that even a word…

Wise women can’t stop talking about equality as in rights and thus power, that they change in male behaviour when in power is another game. Enough of this, I think u get the picture. Each of all them sagacious individuals forget this one obvious question< what is a certainty in life…

Well, we all die, as far as I know, we all come to an age where our oestrogen and testosterone play a huge part in our performing daily arts, read behaviour, decisions, opinions, feelings etc. That my dear Dante is left unexploited. They have textbooks about it, obligated to learn the why and the how at school. They have preventions, u would be surprised, to avoid the effects, they have their standards misguided opinions about it…nop not referring to death, although they are trying to cheat us out of that too.

I was referring to our non/polar steroid hormones, mouthful, right? These silly hormones that more or less are decisive for everything and everybody?
Yep, u got it! Now they do not! Humankind still believes to be superior to nature, they believe themselves the only intelligent race. Taking for gospel truth the fact that the ability to talk and destroy puts them above wales or weed. Humility never has been a general asset to humanity, more the eyes wide shut virtue has been…

Before rattling on, I tell u rest and rummy about it though be prepared for my next letter.

May harmony find u,

Irena Phaedra
