Divine Comedy 2007 (VIII)

Divine Comedy 2007 (VIII)
[Comédie Divin 2007 - VIII]


1. Ms. Reiko Dyulan
Probably when Ms. Yoko Ono was enjoying a life in New York in early 1960's, Ms. Reiko Dyulan was learning art in London where, she wrote, she felt as if having been treated like a monkey or something like that.

According to her book recently published, "Japan, A Nation Never Colonized (Ichidomo Shokuminchi ni Natta-koto ga-nai Kuni)" written in Japanese, she later succeeded as an artist in Japan and married a Swedish man to enjoy more international experiences.
(http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/3400484/s/)

Though she looks like lacking some virtues a respectable Japanese lady of a traditional type is expected to master, she still has to rely on her identity of being Japanese to protect her pride, which is very natural.

So, she wrote that she got shocked when she was asked in Amsterdam, Holland, by a woman from South America as to what Japan's "master country" was.

Of course, Japan has never been colonized by any foreign country in its glorious history recorded for 2000 years.

(Specifically, Spain, Britain, and France could not defeat Japan's samurai military force, since Japan had more guns, gold/silver and advanced social systems in those colonial days.)

Though Ms. Reiko Dyulan cannot be regarded as having insight, personality, and faith in Japan enough to represent Japan and Japanese, she still reported on her encountering deplorable ignorance and blindness of people in the world on Japan.

Ms. Reiko Dyulan also reported on strong respect to Japan found in young people of Republic of Madagascar who felt being cheated so much by France.

Japanese should take a look at her book for some reasons. You may, contrary to my opinion, come to like her.


2. Ms. Yoko Ono
Last night, in a Fuji TV news program, to my astonishment, Ms. Yoko Ono wearing a T-Shirt with the logo "Berlin" was televised in a reference scene.

She was sending a video-message to an assembly of people trying to revive the glory of the Hibiya Kokaido Public Hall, one of famous old buildings in Tokyo, the construction of which her ancestors donated big money to 80 years ago.

(Ancestors of Ms. Yoko Ono also donated a memorial hall to the University of Tokyo.)

Indeed, Ms. Yoko Ono was a child of one of the wealthiest families in Japan.

What I like about her is that she has not talked about or written anything in a manner as if she were representing Japan or Japanese.

Ms. Yoko Ono born in a super rich family in Japan might be a humble person from her childhood. The marriage with John Lennon might have made her more humble, however, enjoying more fame internationally.

Can she be honored with the Nobel Peace Prize someday? Please donate more, Mrs. John Lennon, since there is more room in Heaven, if I may say so.


3. Ms. Yuriko Koike
Defense Minister of Japan Ms. Yuriko Koike has had jealousy and accusation arise among some members of the Tokyo political community.

While the ad-hoc session of the Upper House of the Diet was convened as its election was over, she flew to the U.S. somehow abruptly to reinforce the bridge of mutual security between Japan and the U.S., though.

She met the Secretaries of State and Defense of the US Government as well as Vice President Mr. Dick Cheney, which tells how she has been regarded well.

Now, those who are blaming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for LDP's defeat in the election seem to be aiming their attack on his minister Ms. Yuriko Koike.

Though most of senior members of the Liberal Democratic Party are trying to force Mr. Shinozo Abe to resign as soon as possible, it would not be easy, partly because Ms. Yuriko Koike is very popular among ordinary people.

I do not know what Ms. Condoleezza Rice will do after January 2009; but Ms. Yuriko Koike will never fail in national election. She will surely continue to secure her position as a national law maker, though she will probably not be able to become Japan's first female prime minister in future.

(As Koike-san was once a TV news reporter, she still looks nice, even in comparison with Rice-san.)
["san" is a summary method for honorary prefix in Japanese]


4. Female Volleyball Team of Japan
Last night the female volleyball team of Japan defeated the Taiwan team.

They really represent Japan and Japanese in my view.

Tonight, they are going to be matched with the Holland Team. As I purchased a FPD TV around January 10 this year, I can enjoy the game more pleasantly.


(Twenty five years ago, I was working in a very prosperous computer sector, to your surprise. But, I met a kind of ill spirits there so as to leave it for a kind of an exile.

Indeed, they could not lead the world since then, for there were ill spirits in there and I left them for a kind of an exile 25 years ago.

But, another story then began under a God's gaze, to your surprise, too.

Anyway, read the story of Jesus Christ, good girls, in a vacation just like I did while in a state of unemployment around Tokyo 25 years ago.)



"...for he was greatly amazed at the teaching of the Lord..."

Marriage and Immorality without Fear to God

"they say the time..."heals a broken heart...
"but the time has stood still...
"since I can stop...
(http://music.yahoo.com/Ray-Charles/I-Cant-Stop-Loving-You/lyrics/36014543)


Marriage and Immorality without Fear to God
(Mariage et immoralité sans crainte à Dieu)



2000 years ago, Jesus Christ specified the meaning of marriage, according to my King James Version of the Scripture compiled in 1611 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version):

Mar 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Mar 12:19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Mar 12:20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

Mar 12:21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

Mar 12:22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

Mar 12:23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

Mar 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
* * *

If those who neither read scriptures nor know the power of God think about anything about marriage, their thoughts lead to error.

The meaning of marriage can be understood only by those who read scriptures and/or know the power of God.

Therefore, when those who neither read scriptures nor know the power of God marry, often what they call marriage is nothing but an error.

An error on the earth does not work in Heaven.

So, if they are admitted to Heaven, they will be treated according to an assumption that they have not made an error, that is, erroneous marriage(s).

If marriage on the earth does not lead to more blessing in Heave, such marriage will be regarded as an error.

Critically, 2000 years ago, marriage is based on belief in God. But, nowadays, it is based on a contract, a law, or a kind of criminal conspiracy. People today call what could not be admitted as marriage 2000 years ago the marriage.
* * *

In my personal view, if a total amount of evil things after marriage is larger than the sum of amounts of evil things a man and his wife have committed each separately before their marriage, it is an error not a marriage.

If a man or a woman marries with a plan to abuse the system marriage for doing more evil things, it is a crime against the God.

In this context, Vatican itself is a great error, too.

Poor people also should learn from the Buckingham Palace and Paris.

Or do you think Jesus Christ would praise those that have been promoting moral crimes against God while giving a fatal excuse to terrorists?

Then, my friends with holy allegiance, what are they?


(And, do not even call it a marriage.

Indeed it's long, long time ago those happy hours turned to make me blue...

Truly, I set up and made up my mind...)




"...It was the tenth day of the new year, which was the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken to exile...On that day I felt the powerful presence of the Lord..."

St. Peter's Coins from the First Fish

"Sweet wings you must borrow...
"make straight for the shore...
"indeed, red sails in the sun set...
"truly, she goes on sailing no more...
(http://www.bluegrasslyrics.com/all_song.cfm-recordID=sp1054.htm)


St. Peter's Coins from the First Fish
(Pièces de monnaie de rue Peter des premiers poissons)


Peter was keeping some coins hidden secretly without telling the fact to Jesus Christ.

Peter knew that Jesus Christ would not praise him for still keeping some coins secretly hidden.

Jesus Christ had truly said to give all his money to the poor and follow Him.

But, Peter, with a worry about worldly needs, still kept some coins for himself secretly.

Then a tax collector came to them one day.

Jesus said to Peter to catch fish, find a coin in the mouth of the first catch, and then pay it to the tax collector.

Peter caught fish and put all his coins into its mouth to show them to Jesus Christ.

And then Peter paid the coins to the tax collector who was so amazed as to report it to the Roman Governor...

Now Peter was free from pang of conscience. But, Jesus Christ came to be under surveillance of the Romans who knew Moses had been also a miracle performer.

But a true miracle happened in the mind of St. Peter who could make a quantum leap to higher faith or the way of life based on mercy of God alone but not money at all, once for all.



(Indeed, to be rich while being praised by Jesus Christ is truly difficult. Can your money predict when you die, though you may not be even sad thinking about it, since you do not like God?

Follow St. Peter, however, if you are rich, and pay tax for Jesus Christ and His followers.

Truly, you will be able to catch people, probably mostly poor and called Not-My-People.)


 
 
"...and then hand him over to the Gentiles, who will make fun of him, spit on him, whip him, and kill him; but three days later he will rise to life..."

A TV Set Story

[An N.K.'s nuclear bomb damaged this TV set.]
[The God persuaded me to buy this one. (This screen image is irrelevant to this report.)]
[Can you see me...Pouvez-vous me voir ?]



A TV Set Story
(Une histoire d'ensemble de TV...?)


It is only several years ago that I began to receive NHK satellite broadcast signals.

I purchased a Sony TV receiver which showed views of the earth taken from a Space Shuttle by a Japanese crew when first connected to an antenna. So, I thought this spending was blessed by the God.

When the 9/11 terror occurred in 2001, it was mainly NHK satellite news channel that I mostly watched so as to know the state of New York. As NHK relayed the US ABC News programs, it was Peter Jennings that mostly presented the live broadcast from New York for me, as one of audience in Japan.
* * *

Then a few years later, I subscribed to a cable TV broadcast service. I mostly enjoyed old Japanese movies and US History Channel, though I intently watched CNN when a big incident occurred in the world, such as the US invasion of Iraq, the Indian Ocean Great Tsunami, the Pope's death as well as the New Orleans tragedy.

At that time, I think Bill and Soledad as well as Heidi were mostly observed on my Sony TV screen as I often tuned into CNN at night in Japan.

Anyway I had been a busy man; and my Sony TV set unfortunately did not present better images for US programs via a cable tuner due to unknown problems I however did not mind much.
* * *

Then last year when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb as their first explosion test, my Sony TV set started to malfunction as part of a great miracle. (Or more correctly just before the news flew in, my TV got damaged as if telling me North Korea finally donated their atomic bomb in the northern Korean Peninsula.)

I had to punch or tap the chassis of the TV set to start getting images. For a few months, I practiced this way to trigger TV picture display. Anyway, my favorite TV programs in those days were sports programs, such as live broadcasting of female volleyball games and female figure skating competitions. So, there were no problems for my punching and hitting my TV set to get pictures.
* * *

Then early this year, at last, my punching and tapping did not work any more.

So, I connected a wire from a cable TV tuner to an LCD display monitor of my Fujitsu PC. It worked.

As I did this change of monitor connection in one morning of January, I happened to view clearly a US TV program unlike before. It looks like having discovered new people on a TV screen without confusion of personalities any more.

Then I decided to purchase a new flat panel display TV set; so, my flat-panel-display TV viewing just started in January this year, so humbly.

Though I had been a busy man, one of my missions ended at the end of 2006. Then I decided to write more for the blog EEE Reporter in 2007, which made me feel like checking US TV programs more intently. So, anyway, I needed a better TV set.

The new flat panel display TV presented more clear pictures than the old Sony set.

Inevitably, my new flat panel display TV also showed more clearly Japanese TV announcers. Though I had thought for a long time that the only beautiful female TV personality in Japan is NHK's Ms. Kuniya, I found there were more.
* * *

In short, I had not liked to spend much money for TV viewing, for a long time for a certain personal reason no one would know forever.

But, a Sony TV set and satellite TV programs were useful for checking the 9/11 terror and other subsequent global incidents.

And, when North Korea tested its nuclear bomb last year, my Sony TV set got half-broken.

Then, from this January, I started to use a flat panel display TV set to get higher quality of pictures.

Indeed, it is God who had persuaded me to buy the Sony TV set and then the flat panel display TV set.

Truly, God is merciful and He is the very Creator of the universe and mankind.


(In addition, my CD/tape player was also half-broken a few years ago. And, when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb, its CD function got completely halted.

Anyway it is convenient to copy contents of music CDs into one of my PCs to listen to them. But, my only concern now is if I should copy contents of analogue music tapes, old and new, into a PC in digital format instead of playing them with my half-broken CD/tape player.

Probably, I will not. Music tapes containing "Jet" and so on should be left and forgotten someday.

Truly, in some of these days, you will miss me honey, even if you are, say, in Paris.)

12 years since 1995

"Jet!
I thought the only lonely place was..."
On the moon... "
(http://www.last.fm/music/Paul+McCartney/_/Jet)



12 years since 1995
(12 ans depuis 1995...?)



Proverbs in the King James Version of the Bible:
Pro 9:5 (1995) Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Pro 9:6 (1996) Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Pro 9:7 (1997) He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Pro 9:8 (1998) Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Pro 9:9 (1999) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Pro 9:10 (2000) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Pro 9:11 (2001) For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

Pro 9:12 (2002) If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Pro 9:13 (2003) A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Pro 9:14 (2004) For she sitteth at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city,

Pro 9:15 (2005) To call passengers who go right on their ways:

Pro 9:16 (2006) Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

Pro 9:17 (2007) Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

Pro 9:18 (2008) But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

* * *

In 1995, there was a sarin gas attack of terror in Tokyo, where I was close.

In 1995, there was also a great earthquake in Kobe, the large modern port city near Osaka, the center of western Japan, where I might have been close.

Since then, Japan has been relatively safe, while I have been praising God.

And then, the years have passed through 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, and 2005 with so many tragedies between Muslims and Christians from East Africa to Afghanistan and Indonesia and from Baghdad to Istanbul, Madrid, London, and New York as well as Moscow and southern Russia.

Indeed, it is 12 years since 1995 when Japan suffered tragedies hard to comprehend, yet knowing not the age of global terror coming soon to claim an unacceptable number of innocent victims.

Now the world has to come to think who has scorned spirituality and poverty of the world.

As a proof, "EEE Reporter" has been issued from Japan to you, regardless of your whereabouts in the spiritual space projected from the earth below.


(Once there was a young beautiful girl I encountered in Tokyo. She had beautiful blond hair and blue eyes.

I named her "Jet," since she looked so keen and talented.

Truly it is decades ago in Tokyo that I met a young beautiful girl with beautiful blond hair and blue eyes whom I named "Jet," since she looked so keen and talented on campus.)

The Mona Lisa (La Joconde)

yet humble flowers





(pourtant fleurs humbles)


The Mona Lisa (La Joconde)


The most interesting thing for me about Shakespeare is that he did not praise Jesus Christ and His followers in his works.

It is just like "Harry Potter" does not include praise to Jesus Christ and His followers.

Indeed, British are interesting people in this context.

But, it may be a little different that I cannot feel any pious emotion to Jesus Christ and God in works of Leonardo da Vinci.

I do not think that Leonardo da Vinci reasonably understood Jesus Christ and God.
* * *

When the late Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka visited France decades ago, or in early 1970's, he went out to see the Mona Lisa (La Joconde) in Musée du Louvre.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa)

It is reportedly said that he said, "This is truly a genuine article!" Then it was decided to send the picture to Japan for display, which eventually became one of two rare occasions that the Mona Lisa (La Joconde) was displayed outside France (another occasion is in Russia).
* * *

First of all, I do not trust Leonardo da Vinci about his piety. Thus, as a bad tree bears a bad fruit, I do not trust the value of the Mona Lisa as well as all the other works Leonardo da Vinci presented.

However, from a technical point of view, the picture the Mona Llisa is really appealing.

Traditionally, Japanese artisans are No.1 in the world in terms of creating fine and exquisite handicrafts in various fields. So, only Japanese may be able to sense the level of technique Leonardo da Vinci mastered.

The Mona Lisa is regarded as an application of fine and exquisite handicraft based on a theory Leonardo da Vinc found in terms of relationship between technique and effect.

It is not a miracle result of love, passion, and emotions expressed on a canvas.

It is a result of an application of expertise Leonardo da Vinc mastered.

With the level of technique and expertise, a genius without love and faith in Jesus Christ and God would be even able to depict Him in His most difficult time, such as the last supper.
* * *

Indeed, you do not need faith and love to depict faith and love on a canvas as long as you have mastered the highest technique and expertise in a field of depicting something on a canvas.

But, does it mean that a Devil has won at the highest level of a category of art?

Indeed, the Devil must be proud, but the Devil cannot jump to another higher dimension of art. A Devil's work can be a number one at a certain level of a certain field, but there is another dimension for the field. He cannot win there.

Any picture painted with love and faith in God would surpass a Devil's work even if it is so well depicted with the highest skill and expertise.
* * *

Look at a lovely and decent picture of a young lady you are fond of or love, you will not think that you must be a fool if you cannot understand a hidden feeling of a painted lady, such as Mona Lisa (Joconde).

Leonardo da Vinci loved the smiling of Mona Lisa (Joconde) as he took it in a camera in his mind the moment the model showed for a certain reason.

The smiling just appeared on the face of the model but disappeared forever. Yet, it stayed in memory of Leonardo da Vinci forever. He just put it out of his inside camera to relocate it on a canvas. And, they matched, since he could invent a special skill of depicting something so finely and exquisitely.
* * *

Japanese artisans were traditionally not interested in naturalistic painting. They did not try hard to depict a model so as to present specifically how he or she really looked.

It is rude and manner less.

Indeed, Jesus Christ did not allow for any paintings or drawings of his figure. Even no graphic and realistic description seem to have been allowed.

Yet, He seems to have left a shroud with His images printed on mysteriously, which really amazed, horrified, and moved His followers 2000 years ago.
* * *

However, you may like to see how women who followed Jesus Christ looked like.

So, then, you can look at Princess Diana and Mother Teresa, both of whom however died in 1997, the fatal year leading to 2001 and today.

Or do you think Mona Lisa (Joconde) was a believer of Jesus Christ?

Then what are you looking at in or on the Mona Lisa (Joconde)?

Go and find a pious lady who may have come from the Kingdom of God!


(Are there any rich men who can buy the whole Musée du Louvre?

If I am such a rich man, I will of course buy the whole Musée du Louvre for you, since I am a rich man who can buy the whole Musée du Louvre for you if the God so wishes.)
