how wonderful to be who i am

Fiat Lux 2.0

Cristina Schek

The more I thought about it, the more true it felt. When you live in a place where job opportunities are scarce, and restrictions limit construction, businesses, and education, building a new life becomes a challenge that requires far more than hard work alone.

The problem is not always the person sometimes it is the circumstances surrounding them.

CEO gets millions in pay and bonuses. Doctors make millions. Nurses get zero and the Republican oligarch CEO brings in scabs to bust the union.

But Fun fact: Black people been in Germany specifically, since the year 200. And durring medieval times they doubled in number.

In Germany for example, they were send as gifts to Kings, but instead of slavery, they employed them. Usually as musicians, scholars, artists or knights. At the time, we still don't know, who wrote most of medieval lyric, music and sagas. But since many bards are now discovered to have been infact african, there is also the assumption that medieval music could have been strongly influenced or even written by African.

The first knight to ever become a saint Mauritius was actually a black man, born in Theben in Egypt. Not only was he a knight, but the commander of the army. He got declared a Saint after his death, because he sacrificed his own life to save the German king.

His remains were split and lay in parts Saint-Maurice, Switzerland and in Magdeburg, Germany.

His original depictions in paintings were banned durring the colonial times. From then on all his depictions were as an Roman white man.

In the recent years, older images of him surfaced. They also show, that black people during medieval times used to own a lot of wealth, due to their higher standing and education.

To sum it up. Black people on Renaissance fairs is actually very historically accurate. Just not the medieval workers or peasant clothing. Because they usally wore the finest attire.

Also some links for sources:

Everyone would smell so good. A manicured lawn and flowers would be indescribably beautiful. A Patagonia jacket, rain shell and boots would give people superhuman powers. People would be calm and orderly, more meditative. Much less alcohol. A 50 year old would look indescribably young.

Q1) Are devils and gods cosmology?

Shortest answer ever: Yes — gods and devils are part of cosmology, but only within traditions that frame the universe in moral or supernatural terms. Cosmology means a system’s account of how the universe is structured, ordered, and populated. Many religions include gods, demons, devils, angels, or tempters as part of that structure.

🌌 What 'cosmology' actually means

Cosmology is an attempt at mapping out a popular reality:

how the universe is arranged

what realms exist

what beings inhabit those realms

how those beings relate to humans

If a tradition places gods or devils within the structure of the universe, then those beings are cosmological elements and have become part of a popularity contest throughout that universe.

Q2) But what about the ambient culture? This quiet support of shared values must be having a popular effect upon our everyday living and surroundings right?

It sure does. Even today modern environments very much carry cosmological symbolism:

Architecture — cathedrals, temples, and even civic buildings use verticality, light, and geometry to evoke transcendence.

Media — films, games, and literature constantly reuse gods, demons, angels, and cosmic battles.

Politics — leaders are framed as saviours, destroyers, or tempters; movements are described as “good” or “evil.”

Psychology — Jungian archetypes map gods and devils onto inner drives.
