Robert Merton gave us the phrase, 'the law of unintended consequences' .... for any willed action, there are consequences which occur that were not intended ... for instance prohibition in the US led to a lot more freer society than the supporters could have ever anticipated ... in fact I would argue that without it there would not be a music genre we call jazz and a music form that we refer to as 'rock' ...
When you consider 'It's interference in the assassination of King Eglon and in the crucifixion of Christ .. what did he hope to achieve ... but first consider this ... 'It' engineered the'killings' in the first place ... what was 'It' trying to do ... in each instance ... Eglon and Christ ... they were beginning to make changes that would have benefited society as a whole and put at the risk the need for a far right ... and a far left ...
But someone would have killed these folks anyway ... 'It' could not let that happen ... he was trying to engineer an outcome ... and to that end 'It' needed to be in complete control ... so he was not only the person assassinated in each case ... the person doing the assassinating was the same in both cases ... why .. because the assassination had to occur at exactly the right time to ensure a proper successor ... one that would carry on and indeed achieve far more than the one assassinated ... how could 'It' control that ... well he had to hand pick the successor ...
This did not work in the case of King Eglon ... so a lesson was well learned ... for you see 'It' was Christ ... he appeared at the age of 21 from ... who knows where ... well we do ... and just started gathering a following through his actions, words and works .... he appeared at a time of apparent no hope ... in a time where a hero was desperately needed ... to reference that great quote from Batman ... 'It' always took on a role ... 'because he was the hero the times deserved ... but not the one it needed in the long term ... we'll hunt (read kill) because he can take it ... because he's not our hero .. he's our silent guardian ... a watchful protector ... a dark knight ...'
From those gathered immediately around him 'It' as Christ realized John was the hero the moment needed .. and when pressed into service would carry on and achieve far more that 'It' (Christ) could ...
Judas ...didn't kill Christ ... but without him Christ would not have been captured and crucified ... the political 10% killed Christ but they needed help from the 'active left' to achieve this ... and that was where Judas came in ... who was Judas ... well Judas appeared at the same time as 'It' .. in fact they were friends ... in fact they were very old friends ... millennial friends ...
The one thing 'It' did not plan upon .. and that occurred as an unintended consequence was Christianity ... his actions had a direct effect on the evolution of this philosophy ... and in the end ... as horrible the consequences were ... it actually helped 'It' in his quest to engineer an outcome ...
But I am getting ahead of myself ... actually, it would be more truthful to say I am getting behind myself ... but you will understand all very soon ....
To quote from verse 1959 of the Krome Koan,
' ... all those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand ... '
