God's Anger and the Wealthiest 1%
Folks, before tackling any non-nonsense American problem, we have to first look at the present state of wealth in the U.S. and poverty of the whole world.
Then, behold, we got a report on that in http://www.wider.unu.edu/research/2006-2007/2006-2007-1/wider-wdhw-launch-5-12-2006/wider-wdhw-press-release-5-12-2006.pdf.
This "new study on The World Distribution of Household Wealth by the World Institute for Development Economics Research of the United Nations University (UNU-WIDER)" includes useful information for our quest in American Spirituality.
For example, "Pioneering Study Shows Richest Two Percent Own Half World Wealth"; and "Average wealth amounted to $144,000 per person in the USA in year 2000, and $181,000 in Japan. Lower down among countries with wealth data are India, with per capita assets of $1,100, and Indonesia with $1,400 per capita."
Especially, you should print out a world map of wealth distribution in p. 7 and post it on a wall.
And, Figure 6 in p. 12 shows a ratio of each nationality of the wealthiest 1% of mankind 2000 years after the birth of the God's Messiah:
1....USA.................37%
2....Japan..............27%
3....UK.....................6%
4....France................5%
5....Italy...................4%
6....Germany............4%
7....Canada...............2%
8....Netherlands........2%
9....Spain...................1%
10....Switzerland........1%
11....Taiwan...............1%
(What sinful figures!)
But, now, you know who has to deal with the American issue which I will take on later anyway in awe of God whose anger I am feeling so near.
(If Jesus Christ lives today, good girls in America, He would not be happy seeing you trying to be richer. You had better find poorer friends [who might happen to be, for example, in Japan for your ease].)

(As for another minor but important religion Zoroastrianism, which might have influenced Judaism, its originator Zoroaster is believed to be born in 1200 B.C., the same era of Moses in the Spirituality Chronology.
The Tata Group in India, accounting for 3% of India's GDP, was established in the late 19th century, and is controlled, by those who believe in Zoroastrianism. Tata is expected to tie up with Nippon Steel Corporation, a Japan's giant, sooner or later.)

God's Anger Driving Mongolian Cavalry around 1300
God's Anger Driving Mongolian Cavalry around 1300
Last night I saw an Italian movie "Il Ferroviere (the railroad man)" on an NHK BS channel.
Streets and people in late 1950's in Italy, presented in mono color pictures, look somehow nostalgic.
A good house wife and a tough husband look almost the same all over the world.
(In a room of the railroad man's family, a Japanese ukiyoe, a picture of everyday life in the Edo period, presenting a woman with an oiled-paper umbrella was faintly observed on the wall.)
* * *
The big difference between Israelites and Greeks in the ancient world lies in ethics.
The core of the Israelite culture is ethics; but the core of the Greek Civilization is beauty and order.
It is partly why, though Greeks could not conquer the Middle East and Persia, the Alexander the Great of Macedonia, with special power, taught some ethics by great philosopher Diogenes could do.
Even when Romans, alike without ethics comparable with Israelites', combined systems and technology with Greek's beauty and order, they could not advance to the east over the Euphrates River, though they could finally destroy the kingdom of Israelites around the first century.
But, when Hellenism and Hebraism were combined in Western Europe under the authority of Vatican in Rome, Europeans got super potential that allowed them to expand all over the world eventually.
* * *
Before WWII, the world proved the super potential of the combination of ethics (Israelites), beauty and order (Greeks), power (Macedonians), and systems and technology (Romans); most parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America were colonized by the West.
But, the most important element was ethics. Without it, you cannot even ask for Heaven's good wish in war against enemies with their own religion.
* * *
Nonetheless, development of Europe was not without a decisive crisis.
In 1236, the Mongolian Empire decided to invade Europe. They defeated Russians, Poles, Hungarians, and Germans, and got prepared for invasion upon the Italian Peninsula.
But, as their Khan (great emperor) died of disease and they had to choose his successor, they decided to stop attacks on Italy and returned to Central Asia.
They have never come back to Europe since then.
Instead, they decided to conquer the Islamic world.
In 1256, the Mongolian Empire decided to invade Persia, the Arab land, and Egypt under the Mameluke kingdom. They conquered Persians and Arabs and occupied Baghdad; and were ready to attack Jerusalem occupied by Muslims of the Mameluke kingdom.
But, again, as their Khan died of disease, they had to withdraw major troops and powerful cavalry from the front and thus got defeated by Muslims.
They have never come back to Palestine since then.
Instead, they decided to conquer Japan.
In 1274 and 1281, they tried to invade Japan on board almost 1000 ships in vain. A then Japanese samurai regime fought bravely and Kamikaze (a typhoon called the God Wind) helped samurais.
Since then, the Mongolian Empire failed in invading Vietnam as well as Indonesia.
The Mongolian Empire was thus doomed to retreat forever.
* * *
The key to success of the Mongolian Empire lied in their attitude to religion. They accepted Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, and Israelites as long as they could contribute to the Empire and the Khan who had simple faith in Great Heaven.
But, probably for a reason related to human religion, the God stopped the military advancement of the Mongolian Empire.
As if the God had changed his mind, He saved Vatican, Islam, and Japan in the 13th century.
What symbols this great historic drama is Japan's Buddhism Enlightened (around 1300).
Without this spiritual development among Japanese, Japan must have not received the God's favor in the late 13th century.
Or, as the God had spared Vatican and Islam, He also spared Japan to balance power in the future world, say, in the 20th century and 21st century.

That is why Japan is entitled to take a glorious position in "Development of Underlying Spiritual Events of Mankind:

But why did the God, most probably, get angry with Vatican and Islam around 1300?
(I hope that present Muslims and Christians humbly reflect the history in this context.)
The God allowed for establishment of Islam 600 years after establishment of Vatican for some reasons, most probably, including anger on Vatican.
But, 600 years later after establishment of Islam, the God seems to have allowed for establishment of the Mongolian Empire to have the Empire destroy both Vatican and Islam for some reasons, most probably, including anger on Vatican and Islam.
However, the God seems to have changed His mind so as to save Vatican and Islam as He was highly satisfied with Japan.
* * *
This is my interpretation of the great world history, which seems to have been proven by the global state just before WWII.
Therefore Christians and Muslims had better listen to Japanese; and I am here.

Theory Confirmed Here and There
Theory Confirmed Here and There
Last night, I saw a Japan's NHK satellite broadcast hi-vision TV program which featured ordinary Chinese going back home from Shanghai for the Lunar New Year holidays.
They got on board a long-route bus to Chongqing (Chung ching) which runs along the Chang Jiang River.
Local Chinese respect their ancestors and Buddha, while observing their own traditions which have survived under the regime of the Communist Party.
They seem to be internally judged by themselves according to Confucian ethic.
Young and local Chinese really look good-natured due to Chinese traditions but not Marxism.

You may wonder why Jesus Christ and the founder of Islam are missing in the above chart.
That is a key to appreciating the difference in holy events.
Abraham, Moses, Buddha, and Confucius were all ordinary human beings in that they were not given holy words and power as well as glory unconditionally by the God, the Creator of this material universe.
In other words, they all made great human efforts and exercised their endowments to do good and conquer evil.
However, Jesus Christ was on the God's side, and the founder of Islam was on a God's Angel's side, in my interpretation at this moment, though some Muslims and Christians might have different thoughts.
(Yet, you cannot deny the fact that Jesus Christ came to the world 600 years prior to the God's Angel who issued holy words to the founder of Islam, though each religion has unique and absolute value which cannot be compared with each other in a worldly sense.)

Around 2600 B.C., great pyramids began to be constructed.
Also around 2600 B.C., the urban civilization of Sumerians was well established.
We may later focus on these events which were prior to the start of Abraham's long journey from the city Ur, around 1900 B.C., where the Sumerian Civilization had been extinct around 2000 B.C.
(As African Americans today speak English, though they are not Anglo-Saxon, Abraham must have spoken a Semite language and adopted a Semite way of living in order to be mingled with a prevailing race then in the Middle East, though Abra(h)am seems to have been related to Sumerians from a certain inevitability of a lineage of mankind.)

By the way, in another NHK channel last night, Mr. Barack Obama, a U.S. Democrats' possible Presidential-Election candidate was spotlighted.
His presence is now not a simple regional issue in the U.S. The world is paying attention to how he will advance in the U.S., a multi-racial country, regardless of whether he will be elected or not.
Even in this proceeding, I really feel the effect of "American Denominations Expanded (around 1900)" being confirmed.

South Asia Travel Reporting Pleasing
South Asia Travel Reporting Pleasing
Last night NHK presented a travel report of a Japanese female artist from southern China to Pakistan through the Straits of Malacca, Chennai, Bangalore, and Mumbai, then finally to Lahore.
At the Straits of Malacca, she was on board a cargo ship which was equipped with a radar system to identify other vessel using an ID number. Every authorized ship hit by radar returns its unique ID number onto the radar screen of the inquiring ship.
She asked a captain what if no ID number is returned. The captain answered that he would take distance, as much as possible, from the suspicious ship in the straits well known for heavy traffics and persistent piracy.
* * *
At Infosys Technologies, an IT giant with tens of thousands of workers in its modern premises surrounded by, and insulated from, a real third world environment, in Bangalore, she interviewed a project manager, working on a project related to Japan, who was born and raised in a local village but is now shaping career in Infosys, a company that is now even threatening employees in U.S. IBM.
He said that when he had been employed by Infosys his dream had been to own a car and a house; but now he has a surprise that all these have come true so soon, working in the company.
His dream now is to make himself globally acknowledged as an excellent IT professional.
* * *
Near Mumbai, each time a car she and her crew hired passed a state border, they had to pay passenger tax which was not cheap at all. In India, each state differs in language and law as well as a tax system.
Their interpreter said in Japanese that India was a big country; you had to live here at least for a year or two to understand something about India. The Japanese female artist looked interested and convinced.
* * *
Before heading for Pakistan, she joined together with an author, who was also traveling in parallel taking a different route; and the two agreed that people and situations in Indochina and India showed bottomless problems and fathomless disparity as well as unexhausted human energy.
In Lahore, she checked a street to talk to people. A shop owner, as if with a sort of hidden resentment to a Japanese crew, said that the watches sold at his shop were all made in China and Japanese watches were a little too expensive for ordinary people.
* * *
India is a land of wonder for me, too.
1) How did Aryans get dark skins after their invasion upon the Indian subcontinent since 1300 B.C.?
2) Was Buddha an Aryan, such as contemporary Iranians, or an East Asian, such as Chinese and Japanese?
3) Was the Indus Civilization, extinct around 1500 B.C., was truly built by Dravidians?
4) Was there any more profound relationship than conceived so far between the Indus Civilization and the Mesopotamia Civilization?
(You should keep in mind that Abraham left Ur, a major city of the last Sumerian kingdom in Mesopotamia, decades after Sumerians disappeared from the mainstream history around 2000 B.C., though historians and religion scholars today stick to an idea that Abraham had nothing to do with Sumerians.)

Recently the Arab TV station Al Jazeera, in Qatar, established an English broadcasting division with 400 staff members which are almost two times more than in the BBC's international division.

"Don't You Know I'M Flying"

Current China, India, etc. to be Viewed from Spirituality
Current China, India, etc. to be Viewed from Spirituality
According to a report a certain Japanese newspaper (The Asahi Shimbun) presented the other day, the US Carlyle Group invested in a Chinese construction-machinery company to purchase 45% of its shares at 180 million dollars.
The initial plan was however to take 85% of the whole stocks. But parties concerned in the industry in China were against the transaction because such a deal would lead to foreign control of the Chinese industry. Therefore, the Carlyle Group made a concession and agreed to take only 45% of the Chinese national company.
The point of the article is a concern on emerging nationalism in Chinese industries.
For example, the newspaper revealed the following figures:
Number of those employed by foreign-capitalized companies in China: 25 millions
Ratio of amounts of tax paid by foreign companies in total Chinese tax revenues: 20%
Ratio of exports by foreign companies in total Chinese exports: 58%
Especially, as for high-tech products, the ratio of exports by foreign companies is 88%.
* * *
The newspaper also reported that the Japanese Government has decided to offer 1.6 billion dollar loans to India.
* * *
According to some study, in the 16th century, the then four great empires, China, India, Russia, and Turk, accounted for about 63.5% of all the GDPs in the world.
In 2004, the advanced seven countries, the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, Italy, and Canada accounted for 63.4% of all the GDPs in the world.
* * *
The true issue to focus on is that while the U.S. and the U.K. are vigorously engaged in operations against Iraq and Iran, both combined having 17% of world oil reserves, the emergence of China and India might have far more important implication in the world economy.
China and India have each a unique religious and spiritual background. Iraq and Ira can be treated ultimately in a framework of relationships between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
But, conditions of China and India are more complicated. Even the Carlyle Group, a prestigious but controversial investment company, had better first study the history of human spirituality before sinking capital into these countries.
In this context, Japan has been fairly doing well while world economists were soiling Japan and its economy in 1990's. Japan understands China more accurately than any other country in the world does, though the opposite is not necessarily true.
* * *
Even to make safe and sound judgment on China and India for near future economic operations, you had better check the history of human spirituality.

"YOU YOURSELVES GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO EAT"
According to a report a certain Japanese newspaper (The Asahi Shimbun) presented the other day, the US Carlyle Group invested in a Chinese construction-machinery company to purchase 45% of its shares at 180 million dollars.
The initial plan was however to take 85% of the whole stocks. But parties concerned in the industry in China were against the transaction because such a deal would lead to foreign control of the Chinese industry. Therefore, the Carlyle Group made a concession and agreed to take only 45% of the Chinese national company.
The point of the article is a concern on emerging nationalism in Chinese industries.
For example, the newspaper revealed the following figures:
Number of those employed by foreign-capitalized companies in China: 25 millions
Ratio of amounts of tax paid by foreign companies in total Chinese tax revenues: 20%
Ratio of exports by foreign companies in total Chinese exports: 58%
Especially, as for high-tech products, the ratio of exports by foreign companies is 88%.
* * *
The newspaper also reported that the Japanese Government has decided to offer 1.6 billion dollar loans to India.
* * *
According to some study, in the 16th century, the then four great empires, China, India, Russia, and Turk, accounted for about 63.5% of all the GDPs in the world.
In 2004, the advanced seven countries, the U.S., Japan, Germany, the U.K., France, Italy, and Canada accounted for 63.4% of all the GDPs in the world.
* * *
The true issue to focus on is that while the U.S. and the U.K. are vigorously engaged in operations against Iraq and Iran, both combined having 17% of world oil reserves, the emergence of China and India might have far more important implication in the world economy.
China and India have each a unique religious and spiritual background. Iraq and Ira can be treated ultimately in a framework of relationships between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
But, conditions of China and India are more complicated. Even the Carlyle Group, a prestigious but controversial investment company, had better first study the history of human spirituality before sinking capital into these countries.
In this context, Japan has been fairly doing well while world economists were soiling Japan and its economy in 1990's. Japan understands China more accurately than any other country in the world does, though the opposite is not necessarily true.
* * *
Even to make safe and sound judgment on China and India for near future economic operations, you had better check the history of human spirituality.

Jesus' Mission after the Resurrection
Jesus' Mission after the Resurrection
Why didn't Jesus Christ continue his mission after the "Resurrection?"
It is because He had already confronted directly with the Roman Empire.
If he had continued His mission in the way He had done until crucifixion, the then Israelite high-priests would have completely lost their holy authenticity, but the pagan Roman troops would have again attacked Jesus Christ and His followers with more violence, this time, to mutilate the body of Jesus Christ or burn His body in order to prevent another "Resurrection."
It tells who really killed Jesus Christ, probably, with intent to prevent another "War against Cleopatra," and who just secondary opponents to Jesus Christ were that were vying for religious hegemony under occupation by the Roam Empire.
To avoid an all-out war with the Roman Governor, his troops, and ultimately the Roman Empire and thus save lives of His followers, Jesus Christ after the "Resurrection" left Palestine heading for the Arab land and Persia, not as the Son of God but as a God's Messenger to future Muslims, with confidence in his achievement so far done among Israelites, in my interpretation.

The 21st Century: The Present Day
+ + +
Every 600 years or 700 years, God has interfered with mankind to develop its spiritual world for driving the history.
But you may wonder why it is around A.D. 100 that Christianity was established as it is around A.D. 30 that Jesus Christ preached and resurrected.
It is believed that the Gospels (Matthew, Luke, and Marco as well as John) were written by A.D. 90 and the whole New Testament was started to be compiled from A.D. 150.
It should be also noted that the first Jewish-Roman War ended in A.D. 74 and the Second Jewish-Roman War ended in A.D. 135.
Therefore, around A.D. 100, the separation of Christianity seems to have started.
+ + +
Then what was the "Resurrection" of Jesus Christ for Christianity? Didn't the "Resurrection" set off a new religion?
But, a more meaningful question is why Jesus Christ did not continue His mission after the "Resurrection" so as to firmly establish a new religion called Christianity.
(If he had done so, Israelite high-priests then would be brought to unrecoverable shame; but those priests were not His main enemies; besides they were the Israelites as His followers were.)
In summary, as Jesus Christ knew that Israelites would fight an all-out war with the Roman Empire sooner or later, He showed, as a matter of highest priority, an example Israelites should have followed: acceptance of crucifixion but later resurrection.
Its message is: "Avoid a war and then Israelites will get independence someday and continue to stay in Palestine for 2000 years and more."
But, as we saw in the explanation for the spiritual chronological table, Israelites fought the first and second Jewish-Roman Wars, neglecting teaching and warning by Jesus Christ and eventually losing Palestine for almost 2000 years while losing a tie with followers of Jesus Christ decisively.
As for the matter of secondary priority, that is, establishment of a new religion, the separation of His followers from Israelites seems not to have been clearly planned by Jesus Christ, but He did not in fact interfere with the movement.
+ + +
If you cannot project your existence onto the 4000-year human history, money would be your only master, which would make you completely a clown or a lunatic ultimately.
You must learn the human spiritual history so as to stay in a realm of mankind.
(What I mind is your spiritual state but not financial state.
If EEE-Reports do not improve your spiritual state, they are of no use, to my chagrin, for the Kingdom of God.)

Pontius Pilate & Poor Europeans
Pontius Pilate & Poor Europeans
Before we can discuss the main issue on "Resurrection," it may be necessary to think about the Roman Governor who handed down the crucified body of Jesus Christ to one of His followers, a prominent Israelite, not to the so called high priests of Israelites who had not even joined the execution at sight, taking a major role and advertising their religious authority on that good occasion.
+ + +
About Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor who ordered crucifixion of Jesus Christ though he could have spared His life, the following facts should be taken into account:
1) Pontius Pilate had strong ties with key personalities in Rome who abhorred Israelites.
2) Pontius Pilate cruelly suppressed insurgents in Samaria in A.D. 36, which led to his resignation from the post of the Roman Governor.
3) There are some records about his deeds as an arrogant Governor.
You cannot expect him to have declared innocence to any suspicious Israelite brought before him in a trial. If Pontius Pilate had done so, it must have been a part of a plot or machinations which should reflected a lesson the Romans had learnt from the "War against Cleopatra" just half a century ago.
But, you can expect him to have kept eyes on any suspicious Israelites and their disturbing movements; arrested their leaders with any little evidence; executed them; and put the blame of execution on someone else so as to avoid further insurgency.
Before the arrest of Jesus Christ, Pontius Pilate must have heard that many Israelites had come down form Galilee to Jerusalem for a strange reason that the kingdom of God will emerge through their spiritual leader named "Jesus" who seemed to be called the "King of Israelites."
You cannot expect Pontius Pilate to have thought that Jesus Christ was a very innocent and safe person to be released free as non-guilty for any accusation on movement and propaganda involving many people from Galilee.
Pontius Pilate must have rather used a spy, or even a forced spy like Judas, to see if Jesus Christ had been really acting like the "King of Israelites" with a strong intent to lead His followers until a showdown or a decisive confrontation with Romans and Israelites in power then.
The undeniable fact was that the one who stood out from those coming down from Galilee to Jerusalem in a large number was Jesus Christ, who could be regarded at least as a "potential King of Israelites."
+ + +
But, why do the Gospels praise Pontius Pilate, though they could religiously forgive him, according to the teaching of Jesus Christ?
Anyway, Pope even today seems to have a function as a successor of the Roman Emperor.
+ + +
Nonetheless, the most important thing for people without any biblical knowledge is a message that "God has sent His Messiah to the world to save poor people."
Then, the poor people would see the Messiah, even as an image in the Gospels or a spiritual figure like Saul (Paul) did; and if they believe that He is really holy, they would follow Him.
In this way, scores of millions of poor people in Europe, from the first century on, believed in Jesus Christ without any exact and detailed information on the Gospels.
+ + +
Now, most of European Americans and Europeans are rich. Most of them think they don't need the Messiah, because they are now rich. They are not interested in the Gospels.
They seem to have lost respect to and awe in God, at least in comparison with their passion to money, though there are many poor Americans who are following American Christianity enlightened since the late 19th century or around 1900, which is the latest major religious development in the human history over 4000 years following the "Enlightenment of Buddhism in Japan around 1300."
(The significance of existence African Americans in the U.S. lies here in terms of human spiritual development.)
Nonetheless, you can also listen to me, one of poor Japanese.
(But, please study some about Japan, if you are not impressed at the above one sentence.)
(In addition, good girls in America and Europe, being rich is ugly to the eye of God and thus of the Messiah, no matter how shapely you may look. You had better, in case, put on a veil or a burka in front of Them.)
