emergence, as it was, and still is part of the Masonic pre-planned agenda, and is being used as another<br />

form of subliminal symbolism taken directly from the Freemasons paint palette and tool bag.<br />

Order out of Chaos: = Order-Coalition government, the opposites of hot red [Chaos], and cool blue<br />

[Calm] combined to create the intriguing colour of purple. - The last time I heard the term ‗Purple<br />

Revolution‘ was at end of Saddam Hussein‘s ruling in Iraq and the coming of so called democracy to the<br />

nation. The ‗purple‘ stands for the ink-stain marking the index fingers of first-time voters in the 2005 Iraqi<br />

legislative election. [3] The semi-permanent stain was to prevent fraudulent multiple voting, and perhaps<br />

something we ought to adopt here in the West! The ‗colour revolutions‘ was/is a trend of peaceful<br />

democratic revolution movements that have taken place in an authoritarian state, such as the Rose<br />

Revolution in Georgia, the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, and the Cedar Revolution in Lebanon for<br />

examples. I suppose the present middle-east uprisings should be the called Tri-colour Revolution, as the<br />

Islamic flag‘s colours; Green, Red and Black [some with white], seem to be being waved around in<br />

preference to the old ones.<br />

The Purple Robe Incident<br />

The Purple Robe Incident: is a story worthy of note, that even though it‘s to do with Japanese society,<br />

it‘s as appropriate to us and what‘s going in the West today. See, how I look on things in life, and<br />

particularly what goes on around us, is that it‘s all planned and contrived and no differently than that of a<br />

corporate business such as the HSBC bank, who has a global market to address, with a product and brand<br />

to sell, - so goes without saying that their advertising campaign and budgets run into millions of pounds,<br />

and therefore their strategies are long term ones. They want to know that the man or women walking<br />

down their streets in London, New York, Paris of Hong Kong, gets the very same image and message as<br />

they look around and see the bill board posters, adverts on TV, and even in the newspapers or on the<br />

internet, and that their message it clear, precise and easily understood, though the impact is to be<br />

subliminally absorbed by the viewer, and not painfully full in the face, as after all we have to live with<br />

these kind of adverts every day of our lives, [and the reason that fucking Go Compare advert is so<br />

unbearable], as do we have to put up with our governments and those others who wish to continuously<br />

control us, so too all have a message and long term ‗advertising campaign‘ to try and flog to us.<br />

The Purple Robe Incident story is about; after much corruption within the Edo society and by the leaders<br />

of the Sōtō Zen Sect, a period of transition of power arose, and that as a result the institution and sect went<br />

forward in a new moral and spiritual direction. Society during the Edo period in Japan was ruled by strict<br />

customs and regulations intended to promote stability. Confucian ideas provided the foundation for a<br />

system of strict social prescriptions. At the top of the social order [1] were the Samurai, though below<br />

Emperor, Shogun, and Daimyo [Lords], it was the Samurai who functioned as the ruling class. Second<br />

most praised were the peasants, who lived in [2] the villages, produced agricultural goods, and fed the<br />

country. Increasing urbanisation and rising consumerism, created merchant, artisan middle classes in<br />

towns the and cities. Social mobility during this period was highly limited, and as wealth became<br />

concentrated outside of the Samurai class, conflicts between social classes arose and the social order and<br />

control became increasingly challenged.<br />

The Purple Robe Incident and the Formation of the Early Modern Sōtō Zen Institution: is a paper<br />

written in 2009 examining The Purple Robe Incident, by Duncan Williams an Associate Professor of<br />

Japanese Buddhism and Chair of the Centre for Japanese Studies at UC Berkeley. - Buyō Inshi was the<br />

pen name of an anonymous writer from the late Edo period whose essay, Seji kenmonroku, was critical of<br />

many aspects of Edo society at the time, including what he considered the degenerate activities of<br />

merchants, government officials, and Buddhist clerics. [3]<br />

The Purple Robe Incident is examined as an emblematic case of the new power relationship between<br />

[4] the new bakufu‘s concern about subversive elements that could challenge its hold on power; the imperial<br />

household‘s customary authority to award the highest-ranking, imperially-sanctioned Purple Robe; and<br />

Buddhist institutions that laid claim on the authority to recognise spiritual advancement. The Seji<br />

kenmonroku section on religious institutions includes that the Sōtō Zen sect Inshi points out the moral and<br />

spiritual degeneration of Zen clerics, who were unable to live up to the new sect and government
