Interview with the Devil

MIRACLE-WORKER

EMPEDOCLES (em-ped-oh-kleez) Greek philosopher

Born [reborn?]: Sicily, about 492 B.C. [492 years before Christ]

Died [disappeared]: Mount Etna (?), about 432 B.C.

Empedocles had no objection to being looked upon as a prophet and miracle-worker and was even supposed to have brought dead people back to life [I believe that he actually brought the dead back to life with secret medicine which he did not disclose to others who did not belong to his group of "gods" and "goddesses"]. He let it be known that on a particular day he would be taken up to heaven and made a god. On that day he is supposed to have jumped into the crater of Mount Etna in order that, by disappearing mysteriously, he might be thought to have made good on his prediction... there are some who say he traveled to Greece in later life [in a new "reincarnation"] and died there. [Died? If so, he was revived in secret by other aliens and then he changed himself into a new deceptive "reincarnation"].

I have both editions, and also other wonderful and rare books thanks to Alibris and Better World Books, top American sellers of "used books" that look like new. - G

ASCENSION DAY

From time to time, as they approached the ends of their lives, the kings of Old Java would retire to some remote and holy spot where, rather than dying, they would simply disappear. Suharto, on the day of Christ's Ascension, had done the same.

His life in retirement was a mystery. Occasionally, his presence was reported at a mosque, or at the theme park which his late wife had built on the outskirts of Jakarta. Those who knew him said that he hardly left the house. ["Late" President Suharto had transformed his body into a fresh new "reincarnation" to fool the human race, like Sheikh Abdullah and Sanjay Gandhi etc. etc. who are now living in their new reincarnations. - G]
