"The Ouzo Prophecy"

"The Ouzo Prophecy"

A Writer's Digest critique editor once said, "I read your paper, re-read it, and then read it again. The average person wouldn't know what you're talking about, what the point is, what you're trying to say." He thought I had virtually achieved Gustave Flaubert's dream of writing a book about nothing outside itself. He said, "Your paper is something, but it's only something, and I reluctantly confess I'm not at all certain what that something is."

Only one person has ever admitted to understanding the paper. I submitted it to The Spiritual Counterfeits Project (http://www.scp-inc.org) to receive a scathing attack rather than the usual "I don't understand it," and their response was http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/spiritual ... rfeits.pdf.

I would appreciate any comments on "The Ouzo Prophecy" (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/ouzo-prophecy.pdf).

"What seems to me ideal, that which I would like to achieve, is a book about nothing, a book having no ties to that which lies outside it, but which holds itself together through the internal force of its style, like the Earth floating in space of its own accord, a book almost entirely without a subject, or at least the subject of which would be nearly invisible, if that were possible. The most beautiful works are those that make use of the least material. It is for this reason that there are neither worthy subjects nor unworthy ones, and one might establish, as a kind of axiom—seeing the matter from the point of view of pure Art—that there is in fact no subject, style being in itself the absolute manner of seeing things."

- From a letter from Gustave Flaubert to Louise Colet, January 16, 1852

Hi Bob,
Love a good game me but it'll take me a while to get my head around the rules and the point of the game.

As an aside tho' I think the signature on the reply you got was a touch excessive for a man of 'god'. Did this game annoy him in some way?
p.s.
Thanks for posting the actual paper this time around.

The game of Ouzo is similar to the American bar game of liar's poker (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liars_poker).

Thanks Bob,
I think that will help.

At present I'm guessing that once I get it I'll be able to apply it to the Bible in some sense? That'll be interesting.

Will it be to do with passage numbers or actually to the words?

Also, will I need the King James or can it work with any translation?

[bobevenson]

The game is merely an allegory to help explain the meaning of Rev. 13:18. The KJV is the only authentic version of the Bible (the 47 translators and 12 editors of the KJV provide a description of the beast line of the Ouzo Cross, which begins at reference point 47 and extends 12 units).

Ouzo is Greece's greatest contribution to World culture aside from Philosophy, Drama, Comedy, Theatre, Orchestra and the Olympics. (did I forget anything?)

The book of Revelation.

The book of Revelation.

Harry Potter has more truth in it. The bible is not the Greek's best offering to the world.

[bobevenson]

I'm only talking about the book of Revelation, written on the Greek isle of Patmos. The first 65 books of the Bible are merely wrapping paper for Revelation, the 66th (an Ouzo combination of like digits that adds up to "mankind" in English gematria simplex, A=1 to Z=26).

[bobevenson]

I asked Encyclopaedia Britannica to correct its misidentification of the beast with the name/number 666 that invalidated "The Ouzo Prophecy". They didn't thank me for bringing this error to their attention because I harangued them, and finally persuaded the author, who had been head of the Harvard School of Divinity and was now the the Bishop of Stockholm and head of the Church of Sweden, to admit his error and insist that Britannica make the correction (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/encyclope ... annica.pdf).

Cincinnati is the Queen City of Babylon and the Seven Hills of ancient Rome in the book of Revelation. People wondered for 171 years how Cincinnati got its Queen City name (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/church-of-ouzo.pdf), but I discovered it in 20 minutes (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/public-li ... innati.pdf).

On July 4, 1984, the first copy of "The Ouzo Prophecy" was mailed to the president of the Procter & Gamble Company. A few years later, when P&G's satanic rumor problem had reached a crescendo, "That Infamous Logo" was written (http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/infamous-logo.pdf).

[bobevenson]

Over the years, P&G has sued many people for millions of dollars for linking P&G to Satan, but they never sued me or even asked me to stop distributing "That Infamous Logo". The business reporter who covered P&G for the Cincinnati Enquirer asked me why, and when I told her (evidence of an illegal conspiracy between P&G and the FBI against me and the Church of Ouzo), she wrote http://church-of-ouzo.com/pdf/cincinnati-enquirer.pdf.

HI Bob,
I have a problem with your reasoning and its that you change the spelling of Jesus from English to Greek to get your numbers but then use the Englsih simplex code? Also, why did you not change all the other spellings to Greek?
