All through the day/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ All through the night/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ Now they're frightened of leaving it/ Everyone's weaving it/ Coming on strong all the time/ All through the day I me mine/ CHORUS: I-I-me-me-mine I-I-me-me-mine I-I-me-me-mine I-I-me-me-mine/ All I can hear/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ Even those tears/ I me mine, I me mine, I me mine/ No one's frightened of playing it/ Everyone's saying it/ Flowing more freely than wine/ All through the day I me mine/ CHORUS/ All through your life/ I me mine
"I Me Mine" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1970 album Let It Be. Written by George Harrison -- who has no comparison -- it was the last new track the group recorded before the Beatles' breakup in April 1970.
The song originated from the Beatles' January 1969 rehearsals at Twickenham Film Studios, when they were considering making a return to live performance.
Written at a time of acrimony within the group, the lyrics lament humankind's propensity for self-centeredness and serve as a comment on the discord that led to Harrison temporarily leaving the Beatles.
The musical arrangement alternates between waltz-time verses and choruses played in the hard rock style. The song reflects Harrison's absorption in post-Vedic Hindu texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and their denouncement of the ego, after the Buddha's massive influence on Brahmanism (which became Hinduism) in favor of universal or "cosmic" consciousness.
We waltz, get high, and have love ins...
When Harrison presented "I Me Mine" to the Beatles at Twickenham, John Lennon showed little interest and instead waltzed with Yoko Ono while the other Beatles rehearsed the song. Footage of the dismissive couple dancing was included in the Let It Be documentary film.
In January 1970, by which point Lennon (and unwelcome Ono) had privately left the group, the three remaining members of the Beatles formally recorded the song without Lennon's involvement at EMI Studios in London for the Let It Be album.
When preparing the album for release, producer Phil Spector extended the track by repeating the chorus and second verse, in addition to adding orchestration and a female choir.
Among music critics, several writers have identified "I Me Mine" as a powerful final performance by the Beatles and an apt statement from Harrison.
The song has been referenced by some religious scholars in their commentary on the pitfalls of egoism.
Harrison titled his 1980 autobiography I, Me, Mine after the track. The original recording, lasting just 1:34, appeared on the Beatles' 1996 outtakes compilation Anthology 3, introduced by a mock announcement from Harrison referring to Lennon's departure. More
Iblis: (Arabic إِبْلِيسْ, Romanized Iblīs) [1], also known as Shaitan, is the "leader of the devils" (shayāṭīn) in Islam. According to the Quran (Koran), Iblis was thrown out of heaven after refusing to prostrate before Adam (human). In Sufi cosmology, Iblis embodies the cosmic veil supposedly separating the immanent aspect of God's love from the transcendent aspect of God's wrath. He is often compared to the Christian concept of Satan, both cast out of heaven.
According to some adherents of Sufimysticism, Iblis refused to bow to Adam (the created human) because he was fully devoted to God alone and refused to bow to anyone else [215, 189].
For this reason, Sufi masters regard Satan and Muhammad as the two most perfect monotheists [215].
Sufis reject the concept of dualism [215, 216] and instead believe in the unity of all existence [216].
In the same way that Muhammad was the instrument of God's mercy [215], Sufis regard Satan as the instrument of God's wrath [215].
For the Muslim Sufi scholar Ahmad Ghazali, Iblis was the paragon of lovers in self-sacrifice for refusing to bow down to Adam out of pure devotion to God [217].
Ahmad Ghazali's student Sheikh Adi ibn Musafir was among the Sunni Muslim mystics who defended Iblis and asserted that evil was also God's creation.
The God made all this and a Serpent
Sheikh Adi argued that if evil existed without the will of God, then God would be powerless and powerlessness can't be attributed to God [218].
Some Sufis assert that since Iblis was destined by God to become a devil, God will also restore him to his former angelic nature.
Attar compares Iblis's damnation to the biblical Benjamin: both were accused unjustly, but their punishment had a greater meaning. In the end, Iblis will be released from hell [219].
However, not all Muslim Sufi mystics are in agreement with a positive depiction of Iblis.
Rumi's viewpoint on Iblis is much more in tune with Islamic orthodoxy. Rumi views Iblis as the manifestation of the great sins of haughtiness and envy.
He states: "[Cunning] intelligence is from Iblis, and love from Adam" [220]. More
The Yazidis in Western perception
In William Seabrook's book Adventures in Arabia, the fourth section, starting with Chapter 14, is devoted to the "Yezidees" and is titled "Among the Yezidees."
He describes them as "a mysterious sect scattered throughout the Orient, strongest in North Arabia, feared and hated both by Moslem [Muslim] and Christian [Jesuit], because they are worshippers of Satan." In it he describes the area, including the fact that this territory, including their holiest city of Sheik-Adi, was not part of "Irak" (Iraq) [190].
George Gurdjieff wrote about his encounters with the Yazidis several times in his book Meetings with Remarkable Men, mentioning that they are considered to be "devil worshippers" [because they dare to hold out that even the devil can be turned around by God in the end] by other ethnicities in the region.
In Peter Ouspensky's book In Search of the Miraculous, he describes some strange customs that Gurdjieff observed in Yazidi boys: "He told me, among other things, that when he was a child he had often observed how Yezidi boys were unable to step out of a circle traced round them on the ground" (p. 36).
Idries Shah, writing under the penname Arkon Daraul, in his 1961 book Secret Societies Yesterday and Today, describes discovering a Yazidi-influenced secret society in the London suburbs called the "Order of the Peacock Angel."
Shah claimed this Tawûsê Melek or "Peacock Angel" could be understood, from the Sufi viewpoint, as an allegory of the higher powers in humanity [191]. More
The Great God of the Yazidis
Yazidis believe in one God, to whom they refer as Xwedê, Xwedawend, Êzdan, Pedsha (lit. "King") and, less commonly, Ellah [Allah?] and Heq [Yah-Heq?] [22, 5, 12, 2, 23].
According to some Yazidi hymns (known as qewls), God has 1,001 names; in others, God has 3,003 names [24, 25].
In Yazidism, earth, fire, water, and air are sacred elements that are not to be polluted. During prayer, Yazidis face towards the Sun, which is why they were sometimes called "sun worshippers."
The Yazidi creation myth begins with the description of the emptiness and the absence of order in the Universe. Before the universe's creation, God created a dur ("white pearl" or orb) in spiritual form from God's own pure light and alone dwelt in it [26].
First, there was an esoteric world. After that, an exoteric world was created. Before the creation of this world, God created seven divine beings (oftentimes referred to as the Seven [Arch] Angels in Yazidi literature) to whom God assigned all the world's affairs.
The leader of the Seven Angels was named the "Peacock Angel" (Melek Taus or Tawûsî Melek) [2, 13, 27]. The end of Creation is closely connected with the creation of humankind and the transition from mythological to historical time [5, 14, 12]. More
The Yazidi trinity
The Yazidis believe in a Divine Triad [2, 13, 27]. The supreme, hidden God of the Yazidis is considered to be remote and inactive in relation to creation, except to contain and bind it together within an innate essence [2].
This God's first emanation is the "Peacock Angel," who functions as the ruler of the world [2, 13, 27].
The third is Sultan Ezid. These are the three hypostases of the One God. The identity of these three is sometimes blurred, with ibn Musafir considered to be a manifestation of the Peacock Angel and vice versa; the same applies to Sultan Ezid [2].
The Peacock Angel beating Satan
Yazidis are called the "Nation of the Peacock Angel" (Miletê Tawûsî Melek) [28].
Muslims and Christians erroneously associate and identify the Peacock Angel with their own religions' conception of the unredeemed evil spirit Satan [2, 13, 27, 29, 12], a misconception that has incited centuries of violent religious persecution (puritanical rape and genocide) of the Yazidis as "devil-worshippers" [2, 13, 27, 30, 31].
Persecution of Yazidis has continued in their home communities within the borders of modern Iraq [2, 13, 32].
Yazidis, however, believe the Peacock Angel not a source of evil or wickedness [2, 13, 27]. They consider him to be the leader of the archangels [a kind of Christian Michael, Buddhist Sakka, Chinese Jade Emperor figure], not a fallen angel[2, 27, 33, 12].
(Let's Be Clear with Ana Kasparian) Israeli government official Zmotrich admits their Iran War scheme is a psyops using USA to fight its wars to build its "Greater Israel" (Eretz Yisrael Empire) -- with an internationally illegal occupation (Zionist "settler colonial project") in the West Bank, an almost universally condemned genocide in Gaza, and secretive imperial plans for the rest of the Middle East with Tel Aviv/Jerusalem as the of Ashkenazi Jewish Zionist power in the constitutionless outlaw ethno-"state" of Israel in Palestine.
Bezalel Yoel Smotrich (Hebrew בְּצַלְאֵל יוֹאֵל סְמוֹטְרִיץ׳, born Feb. 27, 1980) is a Jewish Zionist Israeli illegal occupier ("settler colonialist") in the West Bank, a far-right Jewish politician, and a dandy lawyer who serves the Zionist ethnostate as its minister of finance (2022-present). Smotrich is the leader of the Religious Zionist Party, previously having participated in war crimes as a Knesset (Jewish Parliament) member for The Jewish Home and Yamina, resigning in 2023 under the Norwegian Law [1], allowing him to remain a minister (high official) in the Zionist government while his parliamentary seat in the Knesset is taken by another member of his extreme right-wing political party. Smotrich is an occupier ("settler") in violation of international law in the illegally-Israeli-occupied West Bank (a large part of Palestine), living in a make-believe new township (Jewish Israeli "settlement") calling itself Kedumim, which as a lawyer he knows to be illegal under international law. His residence was also built illegally outside the settlement proper [2]. More
(TRT World) Why would anyone hate these peace-loving [white] people just returning to their homeland to claim it and expel or exterminate (ethnically cleanse) anyone living there since they claim to have left centuries ago?
The Rothschild family is a wealthy European Ashkenazi Jewish "noble" banking family originally from Frankfurt, Germany.
The family's documented history starts in 16th-century Frankfurt; its name is derived from the family house, Rothschild, built by Isaak Elchanan Bacharach in Frankfurt in 1567.
The family rose to prominence with Mayer Amschel Rothschild (1744–1812), a court factor to the German Landgraves of Hesse-Kassel in the Free City of Frankfurt, Holy Roman Empire, who established his banking business in the 1760s [2].
Yeah, we rule. He's my mentor and role model.
Unlike most previous court factors, Rothschild managed to bequeath his wealth and established an international banking family through his five sons [3], who established businesses in Paris, Frankfurt, London, Vienna, and Naples (Italy).
The family was elevated to "noble" rank in the Holy Roman Empire and the United Kingdom. The only subsisting branches of the family are the French and British ones [4, 5].
Bill: Hillary and Monica are both Jewish.
During the 19th century, the Rothschild family possessed the largest private fortune in the world, as well as in modern world history [6, 7, 8].
The Rothschild family dominated international finance in Europe between the 1820s and the 1870s, when their hegemony over European finance was [allegedly] broken [or went underground] by joint stock banks [9]. More
