Memoir of Angels

This is a story of the corruption of a people. It appears on the day of the American election, 8 Nov 2022. Couched in David Ben-Gurion's response to the birth of modern Israel and its aftermath, Israel today is not what it was just as what it was was not what it was from the mixing of seed, the wheat and the tares before, during and after Europe, the second temple or first temple, the wandering exodus from the Erev rev mixed multitude that left Egypt, and among the patriarchs. Read as a parable of the modern, Ben-Gurion was primary national founder of the State of Israel and its first prime minister. Ben-Gurion here bears the burden of those facing much of that guilt and blame for what Gideon or Samson or Moses or Solomon or Ezra did or not. He begins his defense here in a letter to an unknown lady to delineate the chief cause of these troubles, the mixed seed, tares among the wheat. He is a well read man and artist so cites Van Gogh's wheat fields in this and he knows the Frankfurt school as much as the Dadaist so he traverses with Benjamin that colossal journey over the Pyrenees in flight from the Nazi along with the whole genre of the new angel, and consults Buuel in consideration whether the angels that either followed after them or led them, as the song were "devil or angel, I can't make up my myynde." He might have cited Rabelais in his first brush with Balaam in this and the corruption of Israel in the wilderness but he does deeply consider Jacob wrestling the angel at the ford. Ben-Gurion understands the heavenly from the mecha of the Neon Genesis Evangelion Little Boy bomb, counterfeit or prophecy of the heavenly come to earth. As it was with Balaam's attempt to alienate the people from their supernatural sustenance by disobedience he never lets us forget that the corruption of the seed is DNA, and as Noah was the last human seed left in Genesis six, so the corruption of the woman travails throughout, challenged by the genes and acts of the Oleander mischwessen governing class from ancient middle east and into the governance and corruption of Israel's betrayals in the latter day, as if the people compromised in the wilderness where the evangelical owned by the state. Henry Miller's essay on Rimbaud is taken at length to mean a repentance.Balaam and his overlords arrange an ever greater mixing of Wheat and Tares in this agricola where maturation of the wheat head is a principle of divine agriculture wrestling the enemy who sows the tares. and the tares themselves. They wind around their beautiful counterfeits so only angels can tell them apart. Let both grow until harvest and then bind the tares in bundles but gather the wheat into the barn. Wheat grains first exude a milky substance like sweet corn before they ripen, but when they pass the milk stage can be punctured without oozing and then the harvest begins. As the wheat matures to a hard head the angel discerns the differences of Balaam, Ben Gu...
