How do you think, Mr. Holmes, why one year before the “Chas Pick” reported of the restoration of the Rembrandt’s masterpiece in October 1996 one of the most wide read newspaper in Russia – “Arguments and Facts”, had carried back to the main symbol of “Danaë’s” myth?

I can hardly say anything and I would like to have a pleasure to hear your version.

I consider, – continued Pfanfaltz, – the real causes and sources of the “black Tuesday’s” tragedy couldn’t be explained from the defective materialistic or from equally defective idealistic point of view of modern average man. Yes, there of course was a terrorist plan, there were kamikaze-terrorists, but all of them including undercover scenarists were only the executors realizing some enveloping matrix-scenario, tracing its roots back to the distant past of the modern civilization, and moreover may be even the preceding – existing before the Flood – culture, which reflection we can see in ancient myths and legends. Symbolic and figurative part of these myths has incarnated in the cultural monuments on which many generations of great sculptors, artists, architects, composers, and also poets, writers, dramatists worked on.

As I see it, the world is one and indivisible, unified and complete, everything in the world is in cause-and-effect relationship. This may mean the only thing: any casual event comes as the casual only because we aren’t able to see the previous, the preceding events, and also the consequent events that are produced by this event.

The reorganization and cutting of the Russian Empire in its USSR bounds (named Perestroika) has begun under Gorbachev and that improper deed was immediately “casually” reflected in the mythological symbol – half-scull of “Perestroika-foreman” showed to more than 200 millions of Soviet people at the sacred day of nearly each Russian in the world – the Victory Day, the day of victory over the fascism, which was equated to the German nazism in the middle of the 20^th century. What could the appearance of this symbol on the first page oh one of the most wide-printed papers in USSR mean?

As I understand it, it was the Danaë’s myth matrix algorithm activation inspired by somebody. Different people take the activation process differently; the vast majority doesn’t notice it at all. But in distant past as well as in our technocratic times all over the world, and particularly in Russia, there were those who took, as one can call it so, the excited state of energy-pumped matrixes very painfully. Early they were called “God’s fools” or fools “in Christ”; today they usually become the patients of psychiatrists. They take the “destructive matrix algorithm activation by pumping it with energy”, as the normal man will feel the pain of the salt in his wound. Mr. Holmes, have you seen the film “Matrix” or you have considered the watching of it to be just a wasting of your time?

Yes, count, I’ve seen it and even have read an interesting analytic article devoted to it. And why do you ask?

Because one of the characters answered the question of what the Matrix was, in such way: “the Matrix is everywhere”. One, as he or she sees, can’t touch it, can’t see, hear or smell it, but, nonetheless, he or she can feel its influence in the way I can’t understand. My perception of the world is based on the same five feelings by which anyone makes his conception of the objective reality. Probably it can be felt by the sixth feeling that one knows of but seldom uses – the sense of proportion[35]. And exactly this hypertrophied feeling is taken as schizophrenia in the modern culture, which is based on “Oedipus complex”.

Sorry for interrupting you, but as I know, the term “Oedipus complex” was firstly introduced by Sigmund Freud. What’s it relation to “Danaë’s” matrix algorithm activation?

And do you remember the myth about Oedipus?

Only generally.

Nevertheless, it’s very important what precisely do you know of it.

So, Delphi’s Oracle has predicted to Oedipus that he would kill his father and marry his own mother. And their children would be cursed by the gods and hated by the mankind. However hard Oedipus tried to avoid his destiny the prediction completely realized and Oedipus had a tragic end: as I can remember he blinded himself and his wife made a suicide.

There is more than one version of this myth, but all of them finish tragically. Why? – Because the main characters having proper names absorb all the attention in the myth, but the Oracle is unnamed – it’s just some Delphi’s Oracle that predicts futures events. Mr. Holmes, and are you able to distinguish the prediction and the programming of future?

I’ll try to answer with old Chinese aphorism, that sounds nearly so: “If we wouldn’t change our current direction we have a risk to reach the place of destination”.

Yes, this has some sense, – told Pfanfaltz after a pause, – but I have no answer for this question yet, and to find it let’s try to look through Oedipus’s story after the Oracle’s prediction of killing his father. To overcome the cruel fate Oedipus left Corinth and went to far lands, but he didn’t know that he had run from the stepparents and that the road that he had chosen led to Thebes where his real father Lai ruled. And to this Lai, as well as to Acrisius some time, the Oracle had predicted to be killed by, not a grandson, but by his son. And that’s why Lai had told to leave his little son in a wood to be eaten by wild animals.

It seems to be another variant, where a child had been thrown to the sea, but waters brought him on the shore where king of Sickon adopted him.

You are quite right and this variant shows the relation to Danaë’s myth very well, Mr. Holmes. Anyway Oedipus was miraculously saved and adopted, in the first variant, by childless king of Corinth – Polybus. On his way to Thebes after leaving his stepfather Oedipus killed a noble man in casual fight. It had been his real father Lai, so the first part of the Oracle’s prediction came to be.

Or the first part of program algorithm purposefully made by Oracle of Delphi.

May be, – answered the count and continued. – Having solved Sphinx’s riddle, Oedipus freed Thebes. Grateful people made him their king. The widow-queen Jocasta whom he had married to was his mother. His children were the same time his brothers and sisters. After twenty safe years of Oedipus’s rule it was a plague and a savage famine. The same Delphi’s Oracle had earlier predicted that the dearth would finish after Lai’s murderer would have been expatriated. Wishing to stop it Oedipus vigorously started to look for a criminal and having find the only survived Lai’s companions and got know that he himself was the murderer. Moreover, this eyewitness of the killing was at the same time that slave who had been told to leave Oedipus in the wood, but had felt sorry to baby and had given him to Corinthian herdsman, after what king Polybus adopted Oedipus. So Oedipus got know that Lai was his father, and that the prediction had come to life. Being mad of his deeds he blinded himself and Jocasta made a suicide.

As you can see, Mr. Holmes, the role of Oracle in this story is really mean, and it seems to be not a predictor, but a programmer.

Yes, count; the relationship between these two myths is quite obvious, and the connecting-link is certainly the activity of the Delphi’s Oracle. The only thing that we need to understand is what did it – programming or predicting of futures events.

To answer this question one should learn to distinguish a prognosis from a programming. It seems that this would be a keystone for solving the Russian riddles. And as to “Oedipus complex” (yearning to kill father and to come into sexual relations with mother), which if to believe Freud the majority of men unknowingly have a tendency to, just from our rude analysis it’s seen well, what the exaggeration made by one the first-rate authoritative psychologists is based on. From that point of view Freud looks like a pitiful adept of the unknown Oracle of Delphi. But now it is much more important not by whom, but how are catastrophic matrixes algorithms realized. If the world is unified and complete and everything in it is in cause-and-effect relationship, then analysing the consequences one can understand the causes. To rise on such a level of understanding we should get out the borders of the system forming its behaviour stereotypes. It’s impossible to understand the behaviour of “maniac” in the borders of culture we live in. Rembrandt’s “Danaë” is one of the best embodiments of the Danaë’s myth, and since “the matrix is everywhere” and its destructive algorithm is activated, “maniac” looks for and finds material components of the matrix in Rembrandt’s masterpiece. You, Mr. Holmes, know the following.
