  A few days Eilat
 
Visiting the southernmost town of Israel one wonders who stay in the King Herod hotel and like that. Next to it, towards the Jordanian border, an empty area exists where like Abraham anybody could put his tent. Now it is more kind of parking place with some space left for cycling. During many years the name of the hotel was not changed, but in the vicinity there is a possibility to construct a David hostel, twice as high, above the water where the canal reaches the sea. It may be in the form of a cone with the sixpointed star as contours and on street level a swimming pool, serving also for topsport. Swimming is healthy and joined by all ages. Here it can be done also after sunset. If this base of the building is meant for everybody then why should the upper floors be reserved for the well to do? David slept together with his companions in grotto's, so make a hostel of it with dormitories. The youth hostel in Eilat is rather expensive and has tv in every room. Eilat needs a centre where peoplle really can meet each other, learn to behave and do things together. Foreigners may think that the Israelis are afraid of strangers and therefore constantly have a mobile telephone at their ear to stay in contact with family and friends.
If the landing strip is turned a few degrees in southeastern direction a giant building in the form of a nomad tent may be erected above the traffic area which is now used to pass quickly instead of staying in the middle of the town, p.e. for concert, congress, non-commercial, social market and democratic procedures. Israel has become  a class society with the rich taking a taxi on sabbath while the poor have to walk or stay home, since bad government keeps bus and train motionless. All members of parliament and city council are paid well. They stick mostly to the interests of own financial class and therefore it is better to have one representee per thousand or hundred inhabitants who is not paid from the Treasury. The mentioned big tent offers accomodation, while on main topics referenda can be hold there.
 
People living in Eilat came from temperate zones and took old habits with them to this spot in the desert. They got houses of Mediterranean type with watered gardens. Nowhere yet a real desert town has been devised with inner palm gardens surrounded by high buildings in compact setting to keep the hot sun out. Such can be tried especially on mountain ridges since electricity enables to move up. Or near the sea where cold air descends from the mountains during the night and should be trapped. Because world population is still growing new metropoles are necessary for housing, jobs and recreation. Often wealth spreads from flourishing cities to surrounding regions. Such metropoles are not to be built anymore on fertile ground but preferably in empty desert area near sea or ocean. The sewage water helps create a green belt around for wild animals. To have sufficient domain for wild flora and fauna the Amazone forest, eastern Siberia, part of the North-American prairies, the North pole regions, the Sahara, the Himalya, the Dreamland of the Australian Aboriginals are to be cut loose from states and brought under international controll like Antarctica. On smaller scale borderlines may change into humanfree borderzones so that the lion will roar again in the Sinai and the bear be master on the Golan.
Between Gaza and El Arish a three million metropolis is possible, with "Manhattan" district, canal city, Bedouin neighbourhood and experimental kind of dwelling, while cars will be available only on a racing circuit. The latter saves enough money for a holiday abroad and rent a car there. Inner transport can be organised technically by kind of an automatic gondola system for two persons or twohundred kilo freight at five meters above pleasant free ground level. Rearrangement of borders for Israel and Ismael may also comprise coastal area which is now Saoudian and where 21th century eco-dwelling can be tried. A royal family should not block space for other humans to live as they like in a context of sharing. Meanwhile the Chinese already ride electric bikes; perhaps the Singaporese soon will empty half of their streets of cars for these easy, cheap things and there are tourists who would like cycling to the airport of Groningen or Rotterdam, sit in the plane to Eilat and rent an electric bicycle there for excursions up to tens of miles. If there are tracks.
 
Eilat belongs to Israel like David did and does. Not such to be said about king Herod, the hotel named after him and its fat-walleted guests. David-in-his-better-moments expressed his feelings, and many of ours, in psalms. These are shared heritage of jews, christians and moslims. So they can be sung, musicized and recited  in a Psalms House, not in busy area but on otherwise silent top of a mountain. So on sabbath, friday and sunday; who knows the other days together? From far one may recognize the function of a building and therefore it is advised to erect a psalms house in stainless steel and glass as upward folded praying hands.
Jerusalem got a five star David hotel and then Eilat would have only a collective, cooperative David hostel? The question is where the Messiah likes to stay. He will not provide bigger cars and drive the Arabs into the sea. The psalm says: from all nations will be called citizens of Jerusalem, "born there". The new Testament, raising status of man from servant to child, depicts the New Jerusalem not as a fortress with solid walls but as a city along a broad river with fruit trees on its banks. Like Babylon was at its heigh day! Jews and moslims remind the christians that God is One and forgives for nothing in return except repent. That causes abolition of the Greek heathen ideas on halfgod or trinity, while Jesus is seen as the lamb symbolically loaded with sins, for Thomasses who otherwise cannot believe. And as the first human being with that new status of child. A child sits at the table and has some access to the father's wallet.
This raising of status fits well in spiritual evolution after Darwin discovered the physical one. In order not to become zombies one has to experience good and bad like Torah and gospel testify. A child has to learn to become an independant grown up. So what should be added in Eilat to turn people a bit away from commercial things that fill eye, belly and the purse of someone else? The best spot on the North Sea shores is where the water on the shallow wad area warms up by the hot midsummer sun and next streams along the beach. Also around the still uninhabited Rottum isle, which can be enlarged for both wildlife and tourism. Development here needs evaluating existing resorts and going to Eilat was helpful but not sufficient. The planners and architects there may bring in their ripened ideas. 
 
                then Jerusalem
 
Travelling to and from Eilat a lot of money is paid to oil sheiks and foreign car makers, while by train most of the spent shekels would stay in own country. Israel is not very friendly to guests with small purse, refusing to give information on the spot about public transport. Has it become a class society since the rich can take a taxi on sabbath while the poor have to walk or stay home? Yes it is, as testify also the extreme luxury of certain hotels, the absence of cheap Internet and especially the fact that many young people did not learn the international language english, although they spend many hours watching tv, had to go to school and meet tourists when the latter get lost by insufficient or wrong information. This certainly suits the middle and upper classes for it saves them from cleaning toilets, which is now the job for the lesser people. Therefore Israel no longer deserves its name. Because the Departure from Egypt involved different attitude. Temporarily Isra-ma- might represent a twin state. West- and East-Jerusalem can have different names too.
Nice construction is the solid wall around 16th century Jerusalem, but the mosque with the golden dome looks ugly. Much dirt is present in town and from Above the sight is even worse. One may hope that the Lord is too busy to look down from heaven (psalm 102). However descending angels also should receive respect and they better stay away from present "Jerusalem". In the streets Mammon is most important, while at the Wall of the Temple Mount men are esteemed twice more important than women, measured by the space they get there. Why don't those men with black hats dress in working costumes, help other people, make a contribution to the national product instead of pushing their egoistic wishes forward, violating the Ten Commandmends which prescribe sabbath to domestic animals, i.e. roaming around in a natural environment instead of being locked in the sheds of bio-industry. Every third child does increase that damned business. G.d is mighty to look what is in the stomachs!
 
This Jerusalem is rather unholy and therefore worthless. What planning might improve the situation? From the Torah we know that good law is to spread from Jerusalem. From the John gospel is ascertained that status of man in the New Testament, the new treaty, is raised from servant to child. If the men with black hats do not want such upgrading they are free to stay what they are, but the state government should change for better rulers, who do away the class society, even if many will protest since they esteem themselves higher than the widow and the orphan.
If commercial activity hinders Central Jerusalem's role as messenger of heavenly law, which is to the benefit of the weak, the poor and tempers the rich, the cunning, the mean who otherwise take all, then a collective cooperative soukh may be installed in the empty area outside the Damascus Gate, removing the shops inside the walls that are not necessary there. Also the place may be emptied from inhabitants in order to get accomodation for guests in greenrich environment. If paying elsewhere for stay and meals then limited entrance of a few days for guests, tourists and believers might be completely free, including a bed and food. So the corner of the field will be to the stranger. Also flora and fauna need some domain and this is easily obtained by foresting east of the town after putting some meters sand and clay on the fields with the graves. The solid stone on the grave does not block surrection, so a bit of earth won't either. By the way it is a misconception to think that dead people ly in their grave. There are only the remnants of a former body; an often old body that one should be glad to get rid off for receiving new in heaven. Or do you think that Abraham, David, Mohammed ly under a piece of hard rock? Perhaps such is only the fate of those who hate the Creator; their souls in the grave being unable to shut the nose for the stench of the rotting remains.
 
In science the creator is regarded and named as First Cause. Nothing is known about first cause and to understand one probably first has to learn the language of the gods. In religion first cause is synonimous with God and more It is friendly towards humans. We call It a He because its intelligence must be far better than what our brains are able to produce. Before the era of machines and computers one automatically would think of a god as kind of a superman. He cannot appear on television since then our freedom to choose would be gone. Ask the black hats. Hell in very old dutch language meant cold glittering mass of water in which it it is not pleasant to reside. Heaven nowadays might be imaged as the soul possessing an intelligence quotient of several hundreds, which enables to cure from illness and even choose a nice body. This replacing the picture of rest with harp music as one can take a plane to some tropical island. Should such future be reflected somehow already by present believers, whether jews, christians or moslims? Should they make a contribution like the apostel James preaches instead of sending begging letters and posting these in the Wall? Until recently thus synagogues, churches, mosques were built, that serve to purposes the souls are after, while esteeming antiquities of lesser value.
Then new activity on the Temple Mountain may lead to a circle of synagogues, churches and mosques for many denominations around a green empty space with sheep or goats where Abraham's offering and or the former two temples are presumed. This implies shifting the mosque with the golden dome into that circle. Salomon gave the good example: If two are quarreling about rights it is wise to grant equal portions. Not where Abraham offered but where God gave the goat should be regarded as the holiest spot. The beast presumably got struck not on the flat surface of the mount but in the bush on the steep slope where now is the Wailing Wall. In ancient times what belonged to the deity had to be thrown into the fire, offered. Abraham was to acknowledge that not he was master over his son. Neither are leaders who push youth to terroristic suicide. Read also about twelve years old Jesus. The story ended well or from Above was confirmed individual freedom. Not yet were available the words we use in art 1 of the Declaration on human rights.
Archeologists discovered that the deity got a calf as a footbank like a king wears a crown. When Moses stayed away on the mountain the Israelites felt very lost and to attract God they produced a Golden Calf. But obviously He does not want to be where humans like him to stay. And do as they wish; Gott mit uns on helmets. Therefore feel free to change an old environment, which is not at all as splendid as at first, where God once put his feet like on that temple mount, for better serving.
There is sufficient space southwest of the Wailing Wall to construct a giant Ark, in which all religious stuff can be exposed and explained to others. Shops in the David street may sell modern outfit to those who recline from wearing any longer Polish costumes of the Middle Ages. Or the other way. In the circle with reli serving buildings on the Temple Mount especially there may be a Psalms House, spiring upwards and surrounded by high eucalyptus trees which produce cure for soar throats. As suggested more trees may grow at  the eastern city wall above the graves; meanwhile the barriere of this wall will be flattened by raising ground level with fertile earth, also to the pleasure of the cats hunting mice there. In the concerned city eating and shitting is as normal as anywhere else. Care for a nice, healthy body that may be shown instead of covering it in black as if God is suspected not to hold to the treaty.
Like John tells in the gospel: The shadows do not appreciate the light, yet the light spreads full conciousness on what is good. After the first Initiative of Creation a second Initiative from Outside brings the Messiah and he will rule. This translates already to reality in good laws and each other serving behaviour. Not we are to anoint someone, but the ability to welcome Gods presence, directly or by His Messenger, in an Atmosphere that is holy, should be used and expressed in a nicer Jerusalem, which does not put interests of locals first but gives spiritual food, plus of course some daily bread for the body, to strangers willing to partake. The black hats will be surprised that the Messiah does not wear their dress. Then which side is to adept?
 
Slaves and servants are to follow orders. A child learns to reflect, think and choose what is best for the family.
The general commands but when Mammon displays sly tactics he is not supposed to be asleep. God knows how to get to his soldiers new information, receptable after they have been trained to use both head and hands instead of functioning simply as sergeants's tools.
In our blood we have iron for transport of oxygen, the substance Adam got blewn in his nose. This iron was made in far stars that later exploded and spread the stuff in the universe. We know know that at present conditions are not sufficient any longer for formation of iron and heavier elements. The Russian scientist Vasily Yanchilin gives in his book The Quantum Theory of Gravitation (2003) an explanation how the situation may have been in the past, which law governs all in the cosmos and where further research should be directed at. Sadly enough the century old general theory of relativity, postulated by Einstein before quantum mechanics appeared on the scene, does not fit in the new theory: it is wrong. Wikipedia boycots the Russian scientist like in the Middle Ages unwelcome books were burnt. Ain't the black hats doing alike, rejecting progress in order to sit idle and be served by God. Yes, as if He is their Servant!
 
The New Israel has existed for more than fifty years already but resharing did not occur yet. Such nowadays is possible gradually by taxing and providing excellent education which opens doors and enables to exploit one's capacities. Also in the Palestinian territories the state of Israel is the major power and these areas are to be included in rearrangements. If political leaders obstruct, mostly trying to rise in rank themselves, then a bypass is not too difficult. Of course explanation on what is strived after should not lack.
Old Israel was bound to important rules:
Do not want the ox of the neighbour because he needs it to plough. Otherwise there won't be income from his land. Multinationals are busy to get all oxes in own stable.
At pentecoste first products of the new harvest were shared. A real capitalist gives only after own pockets have been filled.
When farmer Boaz fell in love with beautiful Ruth the owner was not allowed to pick up during the harvest what accidentally dropped on the ground. This belonged to the poor and the wild animals. Modern man refuses basic things like sun and rain and grass to chickens, cows, geese. According Torah and Koran he will be doomed because he steals what the Creator gave to the animals. A black hat on one's head does not protect from Correction. See to it that you allow animals under your controll sufficient natural space to run, fly or swim for at least three seconds. And plant high growing trees as compensation where artifically hardened surfaces like roof, yard or street took fertile ground away from Nature.
So there was much ruling for daily life promoted by the prophets that is now rejected and replaced by self invented rituals visible in clothing and standstill of the autobus. That makes no good climate for spreading law from Jerusalem. Filling the gap the goyim, the heathens have their turn. Is n't it nice justice, good balance, that jews after former from Above favoured position during two thousand years were on the back of the train to the new Reign? No, they don't have their own route, although such is thought and wanted, but follow the way which the Messiah opened. For his rules become accepted all over the world -note what the big French revolution wanted- in theory and practice must be to behave accordingly. That makes him Lord, son of David-in-his-better-moments.
Translating the message of gospel author John about Jesus in a scientific way brings jews, christians and moslims closer to each other: It is a technically well description if nobody was present at Creation to report that a far mighty king uttered a word and things happened accordingly. Word was spoken by God again, but not in a repeating way; instead further creation occurred, namely of children to the Father, God. Which is a Middle East expression denoting that in word and aimed deed they are indistinguishable, on the same side. Jesus was from birth on such, not a greek type of half deity. In protestant churches and in some catholic ones no longer is prayed to him! Compare the King James Bible with the booklet Evangile selon John, distributed in the Lutheran church of Jerusalem and notice that the personal pronoun appears much later in the latter after poetic description of the new Initiative. The english version follows Eva, who wanted to raise mankind direction deity status. John himself may have used the language he learnt as a child after which there came translation into greek. Such allows variation and interpretation as Jesus born with immediate perfect relation to God while all other people still need "rebirth". This is a fair distinction between the Messiah and others, acceptable to many. The song Veni Creator Spiritus expresses well how next holy influence realizes, being aware that the Father and son spread kind of atmosphere. I translated Lucifer, theatre play by 17th century Joost van den Vondel on ambition, into english (rather free, shortened translation on this site and had to think and investigate much on meanings of uttered phrases).

            back to Amsterdam
 
I am concerned most of the time with rocks and stones, doing research on origins and usefulness: What has to be constructed and where? Filling that is business of other disciplines but when they stay sleepy not much information on types of accomodation sips through and one becomes pressed to guess what is needed now or will be in future.
In the city of The Hague resides the UNPO, organisation of unrepresented peoples. The UNO in New York is something of states and their governments. As there many conflicts cannot be solved the UNPO needs more status to get quarreling and fighting factions at the Round Table. That saves lives of soldiers and money. More status will be obtained if the Palace on the Dam in Amsterdam is offered as headquarters. Or an Ark with round Table is constructed on the water near the Central Station, which is easy to reach by everybody. The Peace Palace in The Hague, now seat of the International Court on war crimes was financed by the American Carnegie. There are lots of money available in treasuries and wallets for a beautiful Ark, but only one can be the first to recognize its importance and start crediting for the costs.
Amsterdam is on the edge of a rift running from the North Sea direction Rhein-graben and Rhone rift. In future Europe will be split along this system. The bottom of the Atlantic Ocean grows differently on varying latitudes, perhaps causing anti-clock rotation of the British Isles and opening that North Sea slenk, while pushing up the Ardennes. If Amsterdam sits on the centre of rotation not much is expected to happen like little occurred during the thousand years of recorded history. A series of earthquakes with strength just over five, like occurred in the german-dutch border region, might sink the city. Understand that less sin is committed in the red lights district, where personal needs are at stake, than on the stock exchange, where kind of class society is fabricated.
 
Already children in the Israeli youth hostel experience class difference as they do not clean after breakfast themselves and even leave costly food, taken but not eaten, for the trash container. Oh yes, they are in a hurry, for the teachers drag them to the museums. For which the children at their age are not ripe. Do they appreciate that later at the university making career is stressed? In fact how dumb can a graduate be and stay? Not being instructed on basic principles for dealing with other humans in their vicinity and animals in an honest social way? Grabbing the mobile telephone. Much of contact consists of handing over money. Is there a possibility for an alternative, this without needing something special like a building adapted to specific interaction? Standard dance steps might be introduces for this purpose. The blak hats won't be blocked to take the initiative. The situation described in the Scriptures "I made music but you did not want to dance" should be avoided.
 
Arriving on Amsterdam airport there are expensive luxury taxis available. It is official policy not to allow cheap cars. Referenda would change this but such does not fit in a class society where the elite wants to stay in power. The prime minister cheats the people telling them that the head of state has blue blood. Investigation will reveal that he is a liar, intending to solify the piramidal society. He should be in jail since well-to-do people can buy a same house for tens of percents less than a minimumwager. The government namely manipulates via tax reduction on mortgages. So the rich upper class saves money and can choose a bigger house or help the poor by providing them a flat for rent. High rent of course! The judges profit from the pensionfund system, which is nothing else but a dirty method to evade taxes due according strength of shoulders. So money out of the pockets of the minima is transferred to the rich who don't need it, except for satisfying their greed.
How dare criticize blak hats since both protestant and catholic old people go to church in order to ensure good pension in heaven after they exploited on Earth the Third World and the animals. Their children don't want pension yet and stay away from churches. The elderly do not tell them that true religion is meant quite differently from sharing a tiny piece of bread in church after which everybody hurries home to consume steak or meatball in apartheid. Well, come and see yourself, but please carry a bit of good law from Jerusalem to spread in first Wodan, then Mammon country.
 
On january 1 and on all other days change is possible.
Long live our noble queen
long liveth mrs Brown
she is our queen.
After some time probably queen Brown will start thinking of herself as very noble, with blood turning blue and superior to persons belonging to lower classes. Likewise do career makers who block competing persons in kind of struggle for survival. Next come tricks to spoil in daily practice of what in theory are called good laws. An example of the latter: Dutch parliament decided that the natural gas should be cheap in order to let everyone profit from it. In reality all rooms of the big mansions of the wealthy thus stay warm while the homeless have to sleep in the cold. In the region where this natural treasure was found nothing became visible in the local build up as all profit was taken away. The shareholders of the "seven sisters" rejoice.
It appears to be quite normal that human beings behave more in an egoistic selfish way than that they are inclined to follow up what the prophets and Jesus indicate. Yet all the time laws are constructed with principles of honesty and sharing. Analysis reveals that all democratic called countries have pronounced upper class, whether regarding money, power or both, in which the millionaires are allowed parasitic life style. Sovereignity in our days should belong to the people. In every nation lesser paid persons form a majority and they can express their power in referenda. The Internet may evolve to a tool for such decisionmaking. Try to formulate wording of important referenda and thus help newly elected heads of state whose task especially this will be.

kerstpsalm

 invuloefening
 
   kerstpsalm
 
Wat blazen toch      de hoge heren
van de grote VU       en zoeken status,
pikkend meer uit 's burgers' schatkist-pot
dan de m.p., zo pro-oranje.
 
He,..."Boven" stuurt    'n soort Klein Duimpje,
trekkend duidlijk spoor   van gouden woorden,
niet uitwisbaar     op Mammon's Zuidas,
kenniskwartier   wil zijn daar die VU.
 
Bij de beesten!   't is een kind!
voor kleine luyden, schoonmaaknegers,
zwervers ook.  Nog is op slot
de warme hal van profs en doctors.
Pas op! Kom tot bezinning
of Hij breekt open en walst u plat.
 
(Warme VU-hal blijft in de kerstperiode dicht en leeg van zwervers, daklozen en hun meelopers).
 
Voor wie niet op de hoogte is: psalm 2 geactualiseerd.
 
Waarschuwing: Een kerstkrans op de voordeur betekent vrij entree. Gaat de goede bedoeling minder ver dan is het raadzaam om het ding weg te halen en binnenshuis op de deur van de kamer met kerstboom en kadootjes voor eigen volk te hangen.
 
Rijke Israelis    nemen een taxi
op sabbath als     geen bus, geen trein beweegt.
De arme luis zal lopen in de klassenmaatschappij.
 
Mooie munten helpen ruilen.
Wissel jij, welgestelde,
je bankbiljetten daarvoor in?
 
Superman is coming en jaagt weg
kalotjes met hun bio-industrie.
Geboden zijn er tien; eentje stemt het vee tevree.
 
Beloofd is Uittocht, alle creatuur gelijk;
de egoist met vijf kindren
hen zal Hij het land uitsmijten.
 
(Sabbath wordt ook voor het vee voorgeschreven, i.e. ontspannen rondscharrelen in een natuurlijke omgeving. Elk derde kind komt neer op meer bio-industrie).
 
't Verwende kind   vult buik en blik
en zingt, een beetje vals: "oh, denneboom";
De kleine meid   heft handjes vroom
"Mammon i's lief" zegt ma, van goud behangen dik.
 
Dan pa, hij laadt de fourwheel vol:
erbij zijn als de kroonprins komen gaat!
Een fietser zwoegt, de tegenwind is bol;
een plas, de auto, en ziedaar nu haat.
 
Kijk, kamelen, statig schrijdend en onz' horzon verwijdend.
Wat zou hun last toch wezen?
Geen hebbedingen, moet je vrezen.
 
Wat nou, een sjofele vent, door geen gekend
komt op, gewond van doorn, zonder bekoring.
Da's niet ons pluis, 't moet zijn een storing.
