NEFX - Inducedemping.txt ? Whichever way, the seemingly natural formation of cults around such concepts even across seemingly disconnected times and places between cultures itself bears reverence by outsiders for its general penetrating gaze and humility, and the underlying insights may serve as a key to other beings more conditioned to the objects of their reverence as to their actual meaning and significance beyond the heavy veil of familiarity. ? It could be that as being-subsets of the known world have historically diverged from their spatiotemporal cradle of being in known “pre-history”, with some more consistently living "close to nature", the primordial impulse among some to anticipate and prepare for a rapturous arrival of an almost alien benefactor is more easily concretely realized (however inadvertently) by fellow beings. ? But the sustaining of the prophecy and the fervor around it may be to help inspire general action by the general population as will most sustain living in the face of both adversity and fatigue before it, and the target of the prophecy -- namely, helpful goods delivered generously by an outside force -- can bely both a generally (at least by said goods' general target audience) forgotten appreciation for the importance of certain (even if not especially basic) fulfillments and an awe for that which is not only not widely familiar to the parent society but also more deeply probed for the various historically accumulated principles underlying their creation, the impetus to the goods' “being”. ? visual cues of a visiting outsider of sorts that is generally believed to be one of a broader subset or a possible emissary of an ultimate being rather than said ultimate being itself) and in the challenging of ingrained traditions by the very anticipation of that which is futuristic and beyond the parent society and its own shortcomings. ? e. ? Yet by the same token this multi-prophet thought system may be in a sense lateral, both in the believed possible sources of prophecy (i. ? This belief in mortal-being-induced incremental or general trending progress across time lends itself to the concept of a prophet chain, wherein a thought system prophesies the arrival of a prophet who in turn prophesies the arrival of an ultimate being or event; and in the case of an ultimate being, it may be said to be the ultimate prophet. ? Such thought systems are very much capable of developing similarly across different seemingly separated cultures. ? general misconduct or interference among beings, be they foreign or domestic, celestial or terrestrial, neglectful would-be benefactors or outright malefactors). ? e. ? So whenever an imagined, anticipated, even attemptedly provoked epiphanous event does not occur, this can be the bedrock understanding, and in the meantime a temporary symbolic scapegoat can be installed (i. ? Seemingly implicit in this thought system is the desire to will reality towards resolution by its probing and provocation, and to invoke the threateningly distant, abstract, alien, or unknown as a broadly comprehensible way of legislating collective social behavior to that end; and in such a thoughtsystem, behavior provoking of reality must be returned to, not necessarily according to a set schedule or at such a rate as would disrupt the general material flow and safety of the social group, but to ever keep them mindful and on guard. ? as concerning things like currency, sex, property, etc). ? e. ? Maybe such anticipation would galvanize the believers into beneficial primordial ritual once triggered by things or phenomena now shot through with cultural grantedness and learned triteness, which bear replacing with the known frontier of scientific invention and implied possibility; and such ritual entails the prescription to observence, service, accommodations for the arrivals, or the even reckless or aggressive foregoing or renunciation of usual routines or vices in the face of new collective confidence (i. ? To this end, the anticipated arrival may even be of primordial beings, or ancestors of the present living, as if to signify a (however implicit) fall from grace among a set of present beings for whom the vaunted future would be akin to a return to the past; yet they may themselves bring things literally not of such past (let alone the known history of a particular geographical domain in which the believing beings in question dwell), which would be more duly appreciated and investigated in their full nature and use outside of the context in which they were birthed and lead to be taken for granted by their longstanding targeted users (note contemporary industrial appliances of the culture based in the earthen west). ? In such a system, not only is a sort of cataclysmic, world-resolving arrival prophesized, but so is that of the arrival of a prophet themselves, be they not the ultimately anticipated arrival and more of a figure in a stepping stone event. ? They may involve something of a theophany, or a sudden organic unification of both more primordial thoughts and the growing consciousness of mysteries of the beyond in tandem with collective scientific discovery and consciousness. ? They bespeak of environmental factors themselves unique to such places and more broadly of the underestimated yet far-reaching effects of such factors in cosmologies across the world as we know it. ? The genesis of cosmology anticipating the rapturous arrival of more advanced beings bears meditation upon (note Melanesia and, historically, Fiji in the late 19th century).
