Lord of the Rings

Here is a brief explanation/interpretation of:
                           The Lord of the Rings
     First a work of literature etc. does not exist in a vacuum and can be used in ways not at all intended/forseen by the writer/artists. Of course the writer is living in this world (language, history,culture,values) and is a mirror of it. Also the writer is creating something which will be understood in the terms of those reading it , we can only comprehend in terms of what we know. That understood, I have understandings/insights into the representation of the Struggle of Good versus Evil, into the physical aspects of Earth in the middle of Heaven and Hell, characters which are representations of mental types. 
     Lord of the Rings
     The book describes a vision which is based on the real story of humanities evolution in terms of mind as revealed by the Greek myth of the ring (Gyges) that makes one invisible and the question as to whether one would do good or evil if one had it. The story of Beowolf etc. plays a large role in the "Knights in Armour" technology/culture.  Since ancient times secret societies have used psychedelic substances such as mushrooms and smoked herbs such as marijuana (first marijuana use 3rd millenium BC in Romania) at this same time Gold is first discovered to be used in old Sumer (present day Iraq). Gold in the form of a ring for safe carrying/displaying for status and psychoactive marijuana (hobbit pipe weed) use came along together at this time 5,000 years ago. It is very interesting to me. Gold or status/money/power and marijuana or higher conciousness/loving/enjoyment of the physical world and body  , a very interesting difference . 'Burning Gold" Pink Floyd: Stay;Obscured by Clouds 1972 is gold marijuana and "Money" Pink Floyd:Dark side of the Moon 1973 is a "hit" = song which has massive sales, is money. The drug market making money off users. Wish you were Here, is about the record company making money or usery of popular culture (but that is another story). So the Gold Ring which takes you into another world of power in the Lord of the Rings can have some very interesting considerations. Also the Gold Ring is a symbol of marriage. how better to prove your love then a present/enchainment of a gold ring allowing others to know of ones unavailability or ownership by another, or in other thoughts and feelings a 'precious" token of true love. The nature of those who wish to control others and create vast wealth at the expense of others use gold as a main tool. Evil is the spirit of Domination using force, Good is the spirit of Sharing using LOVE . Marijuana is traditionally passed around and used together to enjoy music, sex and food. Gold or Marijuana aren't inherently good or evil. Gold/money is a great medium of exchange or reward/pay for real work done on the positive side on the dark side it is outright slavery as indebtedness, jealously , envy etc. Marijuana likewise isn't all good or bad at all times but is about how you use it; going to heavenly feelings and experiences or wasting your time and energy etc. They general usefullness of Marijuana as a shared loving experience is far superior to jewelry or a medium of exchange which has now morphed into incredible control of all commerce and countries by indebtedness and destruction of all the worlds resourses. A resource based economy  (RBE) is now essential and legalizing marijuana is now essential , both to stop totalitarian control of Humanity.
     The world is going into the "Third Wave" Alvin Toefler. Which is following the prehistory; hunter/gatherer tribes , the first wave which is agricultural civilization and the second wave which is industrial civilization.We are now environmentally and Socially destroying our planet and are fighting for the survival of the human race as a free and not totalitarian race on Earth. In the Lord of the Rings it is the third age in which freedom or enslavement for all the world is at stake in the  battles for the fate of Middle Earth.
     "The East" is known as China, Southeast Asia, Japan etc where the mongoloid types live. "The West" is known as Europe where the Caucasoids live. The negroid races are from the south (Africa). The world in the Lord of the Rings takes place in middle earth in about one year. If you look at a globe, between the East and the West is America. The Shire in the Lord of the Rings has a counterpart in America; new hampSHIRE a place with the lowest crime rate and the lowest ethnic diversity in America. It is a place like Tolkiens' book place that is known for gardening, country folk, simple living and a hardy strength in its hardworking forest and field towns. Rivendell is so like Yosemite as to need no comparison beyond a photograph. I have a copy of the Hobbit which is illustrated by Tolkein. Its picture of Rivendell is nearly exactly like a photo I took from "The Four Mile Trail" looking down on the Merced river and the Awahnee Hotel. The pictures' sketch of the "last lonely house" and the river with bridges is uncannily like the photo and Yosemite/Awahnee is the last resort as one travels east over the High Sierra Mountains.
     The black Nazgul are quite reminscent of the Black Project "Stealth Fighters" which are all black for radar invisibility. 
     The Anasazi of the ancient southwest used signal fires on mesa tops to signal raiding warriors approaching which could cover enormous distances (chicago univ.), which is quite like the signal fires lit by Gandalf to call for the help in the onslaught from Mordor. 
     In German the word murder is pronounced "mordor". Fighting in world war I Tolkein may have had it in his subconcious. Nazi..... Nazgul..... 
    As we see there are many interesting parallels. I won't be able to list them all here now, even if I could remember or identify them now and they grow as new knowledge is discovered/forgotten.

Who knows so much is forgotten , dies is reborn or does not come to pass. But for sure the world is heading into monumental change and civilization change. Good is at battle with Evil and the fate of the world is at stake. If this book is of any use it maybe to prepare our minds for such deep  efforts and hard choices between the forces of darkness. In the Star Wars story the SITH is the dark force, in North East Arizona a company from Texas called Sith Inc. owns the coal power plants being built !!  The powers of Coal, Nuclear, Gas, Oil are controlling the Government and Corporations in order to promote and protect their markets, opposing the Green movement to use the power of light ; Solar. The Light powers against the Dark powers. 
     The characters are types of mind. Old age like Gandalf being 7000 years old or Aragorn being 800 refers to their mental age. Being a hobbit or "Habit" is the dispositon which wishes for simple food , comforts etc. While the dwarves value work , industrial arts metal working etc. and the Elves are artists , musicians, philosophers, and scientists. "Men" have the type of mind which is involved in society and business like national football leagues and politics. The orcs are gangs and military/police mind types. In the book "Bored of the Rings" the orcs are Narcs (narcotics officers). Gandalf is a "bunko artist without portfolio" , I can relate I was accepted at San Francisco Art Institute without a portfolio , which was mandatory on the recommendation letter of Irene Dupont (paint/chemical co. relation unknown) my senior class art teacher. The other characters are rather excellent too , you should get the book , you really don't have the whole serious (gravity and its opposite; comedy) story unless you get a good laugh at it with Bored of the Rings !! Life is far too serious to be taken seriously. In reality we make jokes and comedy of things too serious to approach otherwise , hence sex jokes . Sex and the mating strategies are the most fundamental and important things in our lives . period. ... 
Procreation, lineage, venereal disease, divorce, inheritance, marriage, family etc. Critical. So naturally we joke about what we would like, writing poetry and contracts to entice and seduce, protect and control. "Did you hear the one about the ....... , you know we joke about the most serious matters. In Bored of the Rings it is clear what is up : Hippies ie; free love, sex, drugs and Rock n Roll versus Corporate: locked in social roles, attitudes, attire and hair styles. Short hair for war, long hair for beauty and love. The Narcs are after Dildo, moxie, pepsi (Frodo, Merry and Pippin) and other silly pop culture soft drinking , popcorn chewing incompetents who like sex and marijuana smoking and good music in the trees of forests and skinny dipping. The SWAT teams of Assault Rifle hatred are evil doers who love seeing others hurt, by treating them with disdain, violence, dominance and incarcerating them , taking them out of their "sick" culture of" hippy" laziness and truancy. Much closer to the real world than Tolkein. Another analogy is with ' The Wizard of OZ" in which OZ is the abbreviation of ounce , which is the usual increment of marijuana purchase. In which the poppies(heroin) of the field put them to sleep and the White powder from the ski (cocaine) wakes them up. the Emerald city is the Green city of Marijuana against the evil witch wanting to kill Dorathy and the dog toto ; toto in latin is total= Dog=God in Total ; the spirit with thy a dor ... etc. but again that is another story. The ruby slippers are LSD which can take you anywhere in to the sky. 
     So back to Lord of the Rings. We are in a "Battle of Everymore" Led Zepplin Runes, Trying to find the "Stairway to Heaven" trip to Love with the White Lady , in "Going to California' and "Four Sticks" we see the Hippie culture developing and clashing with the NARCS. A cops and robbers game where both sides need the other to keep the 'game " of making money going. Real life is not divided neatly into Evil and Good, in our minds, bodies and Spirits there is a constant battle of "Ever More", how much is enough ? Where does my gain equal others loss ? When does hunting become slaughter ? When does fun become abuse ? When do you understand "There is still time to change the road your on" ? and change .The forces of light and dark are quite real. I have been in a near death experience where i fought "demons" and have been to scenes on LSD trips that far surpass the most fantastically inspired artwork , Making the 3Dmovie Avatar seem like a childs watercolor, because it is real. Others saw these things too without the LSD so I know it was coming into our reality here. I'm not trying to persuade you, I know, I just wish to inform you of what I have seen and Know to be True. 
     The Lord of the Rings is the best story I know of including Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and Back to the Future ! It captures the spirit of the conflict in a very deep way. If you look past the "story form" into the philosophy it gets very real and relevant. (Philosophy of Lord of the Rings; book). The value of immortality, the Elves who often wish for death to end endless meaninglessness, loss and pain or of the Men who wish for immortality which is completely futile and who die to begin anew beyond these troubles. Interesting issues. 
     We all make up our minds and hearts, we all "do or not do"(Star Wars; Yoda) , we all decide ; "To be or not to be" (Shakespeare), we all are in this together ; one humanity on one planet; "all is one and one is all" (Led Zepplin) and we must find a way, you must find a way ; "if you don't find a way no one will" Galadriel ; the Lord of the Rings is our collective Evil we must destroy it or it will destroy our freedom if not the whole ecosystem. One ring to rule them all is the NWO (YOUTUBE.com). Look up this New World Order. It is the attempt to destroy all political authority of the democratic people by enslaving the governments and people with money debt. When your in debt you are enslaved. To throw the gold ring down into the fire is to throw away money as the controlling/ruling contrived system. When your food , water, air and rent, heat, electricity are all only purchased not owned and shared by all then we are truly slaves and when the job is lost to the corporate money gold you will be forced to be an orc or soldier or laborer under the hand of the dark lord , the LORD of the Rings is not the dark lord it is YOU.    please see www.zmovementca.org, www. the venusproject.com, and see all the videos.        " My Father who art in Heaven .........Thy Kingdom Cum On Earth as it is in Heaven.
