#gaius caesar

Roman princes: Gaius Caesar

* 1st century BCE

your petition has been considered, and it shall be answered.

gaius and lucius are doing quite well! learning their alphabet and eating their vegetables, the two of them are growing up to be fine examples of everything a roman should be. lucius presented me with the most magnificent work of art yesterday, i am considering getting it made into a statue:

(IMAGE ID: a drawing of agrippa atop a horse, carrying a bloody sword. he is labeled by an arrow “daddy”. behind him lies a corpse with crossed out eyes in its own blood. in front of him is a mysterious figure in purple looking on lovingly at agrippa.)

'Shield and banner, thou sure shouldst know them, of the Grail are these heroes all, / And ready to do thee service.'

—Wolfram von Eschenbach, Parzival XVI: Lohengrin

Although our age is not yet so advanced as to be able to control outwardly living Nature, although that cultural epoch has not yet come in which living and life-giving forces come to be mastered, nevertheless, there is already the preparatory school for this, which was founded by the movement called the Lodge of the Holy Grail. The time will however come — and it will be quite a specific point in time — when humanity, deviating from its present tendency, will see that deep inward soul forces cannot be decided by majority resolutions; that no vote can settle questions involving the limitless realm of love, involving what one feels or senses. That force which is common to all mankind, which expresses itself in the intellectual as an all-embracing unity about which there can be no conflict, is called Manas. And when men have progressed so far that they are not only at one in their intellect, but also in their perceptions and feelings, and are in harmony in their inmost souls, so far that they find themselves in what is noble and good, so far that they lovingly join together in the objective, in what they have in common, in the same way that they agree that two times two makes four and three times three equals nine; then the time will have arrived when men will be able to control the living as well. Unanimity — objective unanimity in perception and feeling — with all humanity really embracing in love: such is the pre-condition for gaining control over the living.
