Of Illuminatis and Jewish Conspiracy
” …know thyself
know thine enemies
a hundred battles
a hundred victories …”
A REPUBLIC OF VIRTUE
Dr Azly Rahman
Muslims …
must your shortcomings be translated as
a jewish conspiracy?
or
should you now engage in the study of philosophy
though the word itself may scare you till eternity … ?
wake up, wake up
to the signs and symbols of ambivalency
some have meaning, some of them lost through history
know thine enemies
a hundred battles
a hundred victories …”
all knowledge is the self’s bounty
to be harvested and fed to the poor and hungry
paralyze thyself not with the fear of illuminati
and of jewish conspiracy
and the non-believers who too believe in the power of the self and its divine beauty
wake up and smell thine’s cognitive faculty
and see if thine brain cells need to grow with the help
of others’ cultural philosophies
break free
from the chains of culture
and structures that give birth to vultures
the inner demons mara
dance in joy as you live this samsara
there is no illuminati
nor jewish conspiracy
nor a gameplan of non-believers aplenty
you
and you
yourself know this
that the greatest enemy of the self
is the self hiding in the abyss of your thinking faculty
i leave you with a note of sincerity:
may your ramadan be not of a ramallah …
but of peace, wisdom
and the will to be at peace with your enemies
— those you have conjured as imagined communities …
lurking in every corner
of your ill-constructed reality
