“The Real America”

Written By Dr. F.V. Beckles

The greatest secret that is being kept in the world today is who the real children of God is. An important fact is that there is a real agenda aimed at black americans Who are the only ones that is being targeted through the western world’s eugenics program. An agenda set forth by what the world calls the Illuminati. According to the Bible they are identified as the synagog of satan(Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 ).They have been the enemies of the Children of God since the Grecian Empire under Alexander the Greek.Unwittingly they have been fulfilling Bible scriptures foretold by The Most High God of Israel(Genesis 3) to attack and destroy God’s seed who remains in the earth today. This warfare has been spiritual, mental, and physical on all levels (Ephesians 6). They have used various tactics such as religion that traces back to Ancient Babylon. This elite has been behind a political, religious and educational system set to destroy the children of Israel. The whole world has been behind this conspiracy against God’s children(Psalm 83). They in fact have always known who the true children of God is. The children of God in fact are Negroes(Deuteronomy 28:68).This fact goes against religious teachings, because we have been brainwashed into a satanic governmental system that is based on lies and is in fact committed to keeping the true identity of the children of Israel a secret.This governmental system was identified publicly by US President George Bush in the 1980s as the New World Order. A political masterplan that was originally set in place by the Egyptians. Which is why America models everything after Ancient Egypt (Exodus 1). These Illuminist powers used the blueprint of Ancient Egypt to systematically destroy the children of God since their downfall after King Solomon’s reign. When they fell as a people they were enslaved by their enemies who are is what the world calls European today, but they are in fact what the Bible calls Edomites. These Edomites are in fact caucasians, according to the Bible white people are the main enemies of the children of God.These enemies of God whitewashed mankind’s history and the historical records of the Israelites. All in the a coordinated effort to hide the identity of God’s chosen people. They have used world wars as a pretext to steal their homeland in 1948. The Jewish-Israeli people are in fact Romans and Jewish converts not the true Jews according to the Bible and the bloodline of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How could this happen? You may ask.Well the Bible answers that question. The nation of Israel fell as a people due to disobedience to God’s laws, statutes and commandments(Deuteronomy 28:15). This disobedience to Their God-whose name is Ahayah(I Am) caused them to suffer curses that will plagued them forever and is a sign of who the real Jews are and how they will be scattered throughout the earth. During the 1600s white Europeans saw an opportunity to take advantage of their downfall by conspiring with other Gentiles, such as the Africans to kidnap Negroes who are Hebrews and sell them into slavery. It is a common misconception that all back people are the same. In fact they are not all the same, in truth the black race is the most diverse race on the planet. Only the white race is all the same, this information has been proven by Anthropologists and History scholars around the world(Zondervan Bible dictionary). One may ask how did this race war between the children of God and Caucasoid began. It was prophesied by the Most High in the book of Genesis 3. When Eve betrayed her husband and made a covenant with satan. Satan promised her knowledge and power which is the reason why the world exalts women today, which is an abomination to God. A spiritual and racial battle was set in place when God told satan that there will be enmity between satan’s seed and God’s seed. Which means satan has a seed in the earth that is committed to destroying the seed of God(Genesis 25-27). This ancient battle was set in motion before the Great Flood during the days of Noah and resurfaced again with the birth of Jacob and Esau two distinct nationalities(which means two different races of people). The descendants of Jacob became the children of God. The descendants of esau evolved to become Greco-Roman empire. Esau’s lineage which is the seed of satan officially put their plan in action to exterminate the children of God in 70 A.D. when they lay siege against Jerusalem and forced most of the Hebrews to flee into Africa. This record is recorded in the books by the historian Josephus and the book “From Babylon to Timbuktu” as well as many other historical records. The Hebrews a magnificent race of people ruled all of Africa and after the downfall of the Roman Empire they ruled over Asia and Europe. According to historical records and in and outside of the Bible they continued to sin against their God. Which forced the Most High, Ahayah to allow his children to be enslaved by their enemies once again and scatter them throughout the four corners of the earth. Which led to their final downfall during the Arab and Transatlantic slave trade. Which would begin the gentile coalition to set in place a plan Eugenics and a system of perpetual slavery to keep the children of Israel from ever becoming a nation. Which is the real reason why America was established as a nation. The Romans become Jewish converts and financed the slave trade and created a western world society that became an extension of the Roman empire. Through this political and religious system they would keep the children of God in physical and mental darkness. This system they would call zionism and freemasonry.As identified by masons like Albert Pike in the book”Morals&Dogma”. This elaborate plan would involve America's most celebrated icons. Who in which were not heroes but satanist. People like George Washington, Willie Lynch, Margaret Sanger and Uncle Tom Negroes like Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Jesse Jackson. The children of satan also setup partnership with negros religious and political leaders who were sellouts to bring forth their New World Order agenda. To keep the children of God in bondage in the new world which is called America.During the course of 400 years, this country has successfully carried on its racist and genicital conspiracy against negroes to victimize them with poor housing, putting drugs in black neighborhoods, promoting abortions, demonizing black men and forcing integration with white people and their institutions and flooding the prison system with black men due to false arrests and corrupt police departments. Which is why the American political and legal system has been encouraging the unlawful shootings and public executions of black men all across America. Which is fueled by the Donald Trump Administration, which is the reason why the President and United States Congress is in a agreement in building a border wall. They are fulfilling the Bible prophecy listed in 2nd Esdras chapters 13-16. Their ancestors, the Romans did the same thing in 70 A.D when they set up a wall to starve out the Hebrews in Masoda. The exciting and troubling times that are happening in america today is in fact Bible prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes. Donald Trump’s true mission is to carry out the agenda carried on by Roman the Catholic church. Which is why America is ramping up social immorality through out the earth such as homosexuality and other sexual perversions like sodomy and pedafilia. Which are the vices that the Roman Catholic church supports, which is why the news media is always revealing sexual perversions that Catholic priests are routinely involve in and being accused of. The enemies of God know who the real Jews are and are committed to enforcing a perpetual cycle of sin in America so that the negroes who are hebrews could never rise and come together to be a nation ever again. In conclusion the solution to this growing problem is for Hebrews to return to their God Ahyah, obey his commandments, repent of their sins and be baptized in the name of the Father, and the son, and the Holy spirit(Matthew 28 and Book of Acts 2), and separate from gentiles. The greatest mistake of Hebrews in America was to listen to men and women who were sellouts like Martin Luther King Jr and Cynthia Mckinney who pushed for integration and for negro women to be leaders when the black men are supposed to be leaders of the black community. Integration, mixing with gentiles and feminism are an abomination according to the Bible. I highly recommend watching the historic documentary films-’Hebrew or the so called Negro” and “Hebrews to Negros”. The truth that negroes are the real jews and the awakening of God's chosen people is spreading all over the world. If you are a Hebrew I hope that you take part in this glorious movement. Repent of your sins and return to the Most High the God of Israel so that the Lord our Messiah whose name in the Hebrew language is Yashayah can return and put these evil gentiles who are our enemies into subjection and return His chosen remnant to their former glory as the nation of Israel.

Names of God [7/21/16]

This is a comparative study of the names of some supreme deities and words translating as “God,” as well as associated terms involving religious or spiritual concepts. The most consistent pattern is centered around multiples of 3. The numbers 21 [= 3 / The World - Universal Integration] and 12 [= 3 / The Hanged Man - Sacrifice, Death and Rebirth] are particularly relevant in monotheistic [1] and tripartite [3] concepts of divinity. As the value of the word "Sun" along with "Earth," "Life," and "Alive," 21 underlies a network of powerful concepts. Reflecting its connection to the solstice, it is known in some cultures as the age of initiation into adulthood. The word Solstice [which, like Zenith, adds up to 30] contains the sequence 6-2-1, corresponding to the average date of the longest day of the year.

Twenty-one is the 9th number in the Fibonacci sequence, if 0 is counted as the first. It can be described as "the smallest non-trivial example of a Fibonacci number whose digits are Fibonacci numbers, and whose digit sum is also a Fibonacci number." Nine, through its association with the length of the gestational period, represents culmination or fruition. In the Tarot, the Major Arcana consists of 21 cards, preceded by a 22nd card with a value of zero.

The Julian astronomical year is a unit of time defined as 365.25 [= 21 --> 3] days, or 31,557,600 [=(27 --> 9)+0 or 54 --> 9 = 81 --> 9] seconds. The mean length of the Gregorian year, as measured over the course of a 400-year calendar cycle, is 365.2425 days [= 27 --> 9].

Earth's atmosphere is comprised of approximately 78% [= 15 --> 6] nitrogen, 21% [= 3] oxygen, 0.93% [= (12 --> 3)+0] argon and 0.039% [= (12 --> 3)+0 or 24 --> 6] carbon dioxide.

As of the 21st century AD, the genus Homo is estimated to have emerged about 2.865 million years ago [2+8+6+5 = 21 --> 3].

The human soul is popularly said to weigh 21 grams, based on a 1901 experiment by Dr. Duncan MacDougall which, although scientifically inaccurate, has since spawned a wide variety of cultural references.

Notable years with a sum of 21 include 1596 (birth of Rene Descartes), 1776 (founding of the United States), 1929 (stock market crash), 1965 (civil rights movement) and 1974 (resignation of Richard Nixon).

Both 21 and 12 appear in the value of Planck energy as given in Joules, where Planck energy = 1.956 x 10^9 J [1+9+5+6 = 21 --> 3], and reduced Planck energy = 0.390 x 10^9 J [0+3+9+0 = (12 --> 3)+0 or 24 --> 6]. One and nine can be read as a complementary pair since their sum is 10, the value in Gematria [Hebrew numerology] of the Hebrew letter Yod [Y+O+D = 3+0+9 = (12 --> 3)+0]. Following this pair are the numbers 5 [the Gematria value of the letter He] and 6 [corresponding to the letter Vau or Waw]. These are the three constituent letters of the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, which represents a core aspect of the Judeo-Christian concept of divinity.

The name YHWH itself is apparently derived from the earlier form YHW or Yahu, a god associated with the nomadic Shasu people who occupied the land of Madyan [Midian], wherein Moses is said to have encountered the burning bush [Yahu = 3+1+8+6 = 18 --> 9; Shasu = 27 --> 9; Madyan = 30 --> 3]. Given this cultural context, one possible etymology suggests a derivation from the root HWY, meaning "He blows" [Wind = 2+1+9+9 = 21 --> 3].

The Jain cosmology is full of references to 3 and its multiples, from their word for Universe [Loka = (12 --> 3)+0] to their conception of the structure of time [divided into 6 epochs, with the final two lasting 21,000 years each].

Doubling 21 produces 42 or 6. Both 21 and 42 appear frequently in the numerology of divine names and other spiritual concepts, as do 12 and 24. Carrying a more Feminine connotation, 30 [21+9 or 3+(3^3)] is seen in the value of the word Druid, along with a couple of names on this list which are associated with the conception of a female Supreme Being.

Tripling 21 produces 63, or 9. Nine represents the end of gestation, which marks the beginning of life. The combination of 9 [Ending, the Feminine] and 1 [Beginning, the Masculine] results in the retention of both aspects, except that the Feminine 9 is converted back to its primordial form of zero. The number 10 therefore represents a harmonious union of distinct but complementary elements.

While the Lunar 9 embodies the Divine Feminine, the Solar 10 embodies the Divine Masculine. Between these extremes is 3 [1 x 3 = 3; 3 x 3 = 9], the lower manifestation of the Fire element [the Hearth], which combines the Masculine quality of expansion with the Feminine quality of containment, facilitating exploration of the inner realms and the hidden nature of things.

Of the six number pairs which add up to 10, the numbers 3 and 7 [Life, Magic = 21 --> 3; Death = 25 --> 7, Power = (16 --> 7)+0; Religion = (37 --> 10 --> 1)+0] are particularly prominent in this context. Depending on whether they are added or multiplied together, 3 and 7 can produce either 10 [= 1] or 21 [= 3]. The Low Fire of 3 meets the High Fire of 7 like a campfire providing the energy and warmth which enables people to turn their attention upward and look for patterns in the stars.

The phrase AH'YAH ASHAR AH'YAH is more commonly rendered EHYEH ASHER EHYEH; however, the original Hebrew has AHYH ASHR AHYH, which leaves some room for ambiguity due to the antiquity of the language as well as its complex treatment of vowels. The Hebrew term prominently features 3 initial Alefs; Alef, a precursor to the Roman letter A, denotes the influence of the Divine Masculine. Both the Hebrew word Alef and the Greek Alpha come out to 21. The combined value of the phrase, according to the Gematria, is 21-501-21, or 3-6-3.

AHYAH or EHYEH [Aleph-He-Yod-He] is a form of the verb "Lihyot," meaning "to be." This combination of Y [Tree / Growth] and H [Throne / Life] with the implied A [Star / Time, Light] is also seen in YAH [= 12] and YHWH [= 21]. ASHAR or ASHER, which is used in this context as a connector reinforcing the concept of self-similarity, means "to continue straight ahead” and by extension, to be happy or blessed.

“The Eternal One, for the first and last time in all biblical record, reveals himself as AhYah. AhYah is the first person singular of the word ‘to be.’ It could mean either, 'I am' or 'I will be'.... This name actually sets the tone for Yahweh to finally reveal his character and full name to the Hebrews... Notice Ah-Yah is the first part of Yah's name.” - Rabbi Shalomim HaLevi

YAHUAH OR Ahayah? WHAT IS HIS NAME? YAHUAH IS HIS NAME ABOVE ALL NAMES! TALAYHM;PSALMS 8 PSALMS 54:1 So example Khana gives her son a dollar to give to his friend His friend says who sent you? He my son shall say my mother sent me with the dollar;They shall say what is your Mother's Name? Her Name is Khana YAHU. The root word Yahuah derives from is "hyah" meaning - to be; come to pass, exist; happen. Also from the primative root "huah" meaning - to be; become; exist; happen also LIFE YAHUAH IS KHAY People want to believe HIS NAME IS AHYAH THAT IS HIS CHARACTER a Title NOT HIS NAME! YAHUAH IS HIS NAME You FIND SALVATION IN THE NAME TALAYHM:PSALMS 54:1 SAVE me BY YOUR NAME! NO OTHER NAME Shall you find Salvation(YAHUSHA)(YAHUAH):ACTS 4:12 THE ONLY NAMES THAT HOLD POWER! YAHUSHA CAME IN HIS FATHER'S NAME AND CAME THROUGH THE TRIBE THAT BARES THE GREAT NAME YAHUDA Yaqubs:Jacob's wife LeYAH said Praise:Yadah YAHUAH FOR her last son YAHUDA Remove or walk through the Delet:Door and You SEE HIS GREAT NAME(Simple indeed) HIS SHEEP HEAR HIS VOICE AND KNOW HIS NAME YAHUAH THE GREAT! YAHUAH OR Ahayah? WHAT IS HIS NAME? YAHUAH IS HIS NAME! Ahayah is found nowhere in archaeological History. There is No place where it show Ahayah Was removed and replaced with Yahuah. It has NO History. Just because someone says something it Must be proven. Let ALUAH/ALMIGHTY-ONE be true and Every man a liar. So what some do is try to bash or make the name Yahuah pagan, or from another nation, to make Ahayah look good WICKED. If HIS name was Ahayah It should be proven through truth and truth alone. Not say they erased it, but forgot in one place, If that was the case when they found this mistake, why not take it out in the next reprinting? But cannot find ANYWHERE where it talks about it being erased. However we have proven IN SCRIPTURE that Yahuah has been erased, changed, polluted, replaced, and Pagans Adopted the name into their pagan ways and not the other way around. Dating is very important. Mashaly/Proverbs 30:4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established

Appointment in Samarra

“Appointment in Samarra”. I never heard of that story before but as one does I wanted to learn more about it - especially because I wanted to know if the last quote Sherlock tells is part of this story or if he invented it. This is of course the title of an old Mesopotamian tale, as Sherlock explains, but also the title of a novel by John O’Hara, published in 1934. The latter is a reference to the tale retold by W. Somerset Maughan. Here is the story:

A merchant in Baghdad sends his servant to the marketplace for provisions. Soon afterward, the servant comes home white and trembling and tells him that in the marketplace he was jostled by a woman, whom he recognized as Death, and she made a threatening gesture. Borrowing the merchant's horse, he flees at great speed to Samarra, a distance of about 75 miles (125 km), where he believes Death will not find him. The merchant then goes to the marketplace and finds Death, and asks why she made the threatening gesture. She replies, "That was not a threatening gesture, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra. (x)

There’s an interesting detail that jumped at me: in the story Death is explicitly a woman. I can be wrong but I don’t remember Sherlock ever told that detail. And in this telling of the story, it’s not the merchant whom Death had to meet in Samarra but his servant. We can put that on the fact the tale can have variations, as many oral tales have - this tale can have countless versions. This is anyway, I guess, the version we know the best in Occident. Here is other versions:

“There were once two Cushites who attended on Solomon, and these were Elihoreph and Ahyah, the sons of Shisha, scribes, of Solomon. One day Solomon observed that the Angel of Death was sad. ‘Why’, he said to him, ‘art thou sad?’ — ‘Because’, he answered him, ‘they have demanded from me the two Cushites who sit here’. [Solomon thereupon] gave them [the Cushites] in charge of the spirits [over whom he had dominion] and sent them to the district of Luz. When, however, they reached the district of Luz they died. On the following day he observed that the Angel of Death was in cheerful spirits. ‘Why’, he said to him, ‘art thou cheerful?’ — ‘To the place’, the other replied, ‘where they expected them from me, thither didst thou send them!’ Solomon thereupon uttered the saying, ‘A man's feet are responsible for him; they lead him to the place where he is wanted’.” From the Babylonian Talmud, Isidore Epstein (Editor), Soncino Press. ... Fudail Ibn Ayad (When Death came to Baghdad) The disciple of a Sufi of Baghdad was sitting in the corner of an inn one day when he heard two figures talking. From what they said he realized that one of them was the Angel of Death.“I have several calls to make in this city during the next three weeks,” the Angel was saying to his companion.Terrified, the disciple concealed himself until the two had left. Then applying his intelligence to the problem of how to cheat a possible call from death, he decided that if he kept away from Baghdad he should not be touched. From this reasoning it was but a short step to hiring the fastest horse available and spurring it night and day towards the distant town of Samarkand. Meanwhile Death met the Sufi teacher and they talked about various people. “And where is your disciple so-and-so?” asked Death.“He should be somewhere in this city, spending his time in contemplation, perhaps in a caravanserai,” said the teacher.“surprising,” said the Angel; “because he is on my list. Yes, here it is: I have to collect him in four weeks’ time at Samarkand, of all places.”

(here’s an interesting link)

And Maugham’s version is the version that inspired O’Hara, whose book is ranked 22nd in the list of the 100 best English books of the 20th century by the Modern Library - so, popular amongst connoisseurs, and probably popular among readers. The tale is cited as an epigraph in the book, so those who’ve read this book know the tale - this version of the tale.

O’Hara’s Appointment in Samarra is about self-destruction and suicide of the character, Julian English. The tale and the title refer to the inevitability of Julian’s suicide. I’ll quote you part of the plot summary from wikipedia, see here to read the whole thing.

The novel describes how, over the course of three days, Julian English destroys himself with a series of impulsive acts, culminating in suicide. O'Hara never gives any obvious cause or explanation for his behavior, which is apparently predestined by his character. Facts about Julian gradually emerge throughout the novel. He is about thirty years old. He is college-educated, owns a well-established Cadillac dealership, and within the Gibbsville community belongs to the prestigious "Lantenengo Street crowd."

(...)

During the first of two suicidal reveries, we learn that his greatest fear is that he will eventually lose his wife to another man. Yet within three days, he sexually propositions two women, succeeding once, with an ease and confidence that suggest that this is well-practiced behavior.

On successive days, he commits three impulsive acts, which are serious enough to damage his reputation, his business, and his relationship with his wife. (...) His second suicidal reverie is after a failed attempt to seduce a woman, the local society reporter. He believes that as a result of his behavior, and the community's sympathy for Caroline, "no girl in Gibbsville—worth having—would risk the loss of reputation which would be her punishment for getting herself identified with him". He believes that even if he divorces Caroline he is destined to spend the rest of his life hearing: “No, let's not have him, he's one of the older guys. Wish Julian English would act his age.... No thanks, Julian, I'd rather walk. No thanks, Mr. English, I haven't much farther to go. Julian, I wish you wouldn't call me so much. My father gets furious. You better leave me at the corner becuss if my old man. Listen, you, leave my sister alone.“ (...) Although Julian had many difficulties, some external and many self-inflicted, it seems clear that these difficulties, though serious, were not insurmountable.

What the novel points out - according to the context in which it was written - how excessive Julian’s actions and suicide are. But what interests me in it is mainly the fact that Julian feared to loose his wife and was unfaithful himself, and globally, he provoked the things that he feared, placing himself as a victim while he’s responsible for what is happening to him. This makes me think about Mary, not only her death was inevitable but she was possessive with John while unfaithful to him, and she is responsible for what happened to her - her death is the result of her own actions, and if she faked it, she obviously made all of this happen, while she is at this point seen as a martyr. And there’s this little detail that the character’s name is English, while Mary is “the English woman”, as Ajay believes (which was probably correct). I can see a few way to link that story to Sherlock, though I don’t think we can take it as a whole and parallel it with only one character. In the plot summary I see parallels with Sherlock, with John and with Mary. What links them three may be the inevitability of death, just as the Mesopotamian tale is suggesting. What it’s suggesting as well is that each of them is in some extent responsible of their fate. There is the theme of infidelity, which comes in Sherlock through John cheating on Mary. There is the fact that Sherlock’s actions led him to loose his reputation, his job, and John, in the events that led to the fall, then during HLV, to finally loose all of this in the person of John, because John is turning his back on him.

Now to come back to the tale, we can assume that in this story, the person who meets death, tries to escape it but can’t, is Mary, since this is exactly what she does. But she can be Death as well, if Sherlock is the merchant (in Sherlock’s version) / the servant (in Maugham’s version) - as it’s suggested he is by the way Sherlock change the story and makes him a pirate. Then it would say that even if he tries, Sherlock can’t escape the fate Mary has been planning for him. In a way, the tale can also be paralleled with Sherrinford: a little Sherlock who just lost his brother would hate this story and create one where the pirate/ his brother lives, hidden in a city called Sumatra (a reference to the Big Rat of Sumatra - a story used in the show to refer to people working in shadows, the underground network, from which Moran is part of). We assume Sherlock is the pirate because he loves them, and that’s why we assume the flashback he has of his childhood shows himself and Mycroft, but this little boy we saw dressed as a pirate, and the pirate of Sherlock’s story, can be his brother, the third one. Which is very much alive if Sherrinford is actually his name, since Mycroft asked to talk to him on the phone.

Appointment in Samarra is also a song, by Paul Thomas Saunders, here are the lyrics, let me quote you some excerpts:

You have scars on your face from where he left you your blue eyes still aren't dry your hands have run through your blonde hair a thousand times you say you're going to Samarra won't be back tomorrow you left a letter on the floor bread winners won't be baking anymore (...) there is blood on the clothes that you'd once wear for him was it worth the lace facade (...) I've been wondering for awhile how records from your past make the brief encounters that last the blood is on your hands the bodies on the ground around us make no future plans sever every bound that binds us

It’s interesting that it seems to talk about Mary, who said she was leaving on her own to face the consequences of her past - in Samarra - and who left a letter to John to say she won’t be “coming back tomorrow”. The second quote makes me think about how she died. But, that reference may be a bit too “coincidental” so I won’t take it as a probable reference, though let’s admit that it falls on point.

Now I’ll finish on the reason that made me write this post:

“When does the path we walk on lock around our feet? When does the road become a river with only one destination? Death waits for us all in Samarra. But can Samarra be avoided?“

This part is not from Maugham’s version of the tale, not from any other versions I found, that’s for sure. So where does it comes from? I searched but didn’t found any source of it, it’s like it didn’t exist prior to Sherlock. Which leads me to think it’s not part of the tale, that Sherlock made it up. What’s interesting if Sherlock created those lines is that it must be part of the story he created as a child in which the merchant escapes Death and lives. There would be a link between the pirate and the evoking of river / water - and then to sea as a river can only run to the sea. Hence why he uses the river as a symbol for a road that only leads to one destination. In this little text, we have the path and the road that are symbolizing the same thing: the way one takes to go somewhere, or in some cases to run from a place. Sherlock insists on the fact the one that walks this path is first stopped and moved away against his will, meaning that he’s can’t move away, he can’t decide for his own fate. The road he chooses to walk isn’t the one he can take. That’s pretty telling of Sherlock’s personality, he believes he has the obligation to follow a certain path someone else chose for him. No matter how hard he wants, he can’t take the path he chose. In other words: Sherlock wants to connect with people, to feel, to be happy, but he feels like he can’t, because he can’t decide what road to take, life and possibly Mycroft took the decision for him. He probably lost his brother in a way that involves feelings and caring - that can have taught Sherlock these things only lead to despair and Death. At the time he quotes those lines, that’s after Mary died and he lost John - so this idea that he can’t ever “be involved” comes back to his mind. It’s because he got involved, because he cared, that he made his vow, the vow John told him he broke. At this point he is feeling like the loss of Mary and John are his fault, and the fact that’s what John told him may have been a great part of that thought. Also, what’s interesting is that he questions “when”. The time when all of this happens seems to be important. At what point in life do we realise we can’t chose our way, nor that we can escape the inevitable? The obvious answer to me is: when it’s too late. We realise we can’t avoid fate only when we’re facing it - in Sherlock’s case: when he lost his brother, and later when he had to jump off the rooftop, and then when Mary died, despite all his efforts to keep her safe. That’s when he realises the course of events where inevitable and that he couldn’t decide the road he would walk. He is stating the fact that he can’t decide the path he takes, that Death comes to us all in Samarra. The destination we reach is never the one we want, and it’s pointless to try to avoid it. Sherlock thought he could have a happy life, connect with others, with John, but Death found him back and reminded him he couldn’t have it. That’s what he initially figured out when Redbeard/The Other One died when he was younger, he couldn’t have it. Now note that he says “death finds us all in Samarra”. All of us, in no other place than Samarra. It can be nothing but that line is incorrect, Samarra is not the place were we find Death, but the place one particular person had to meet Death. Said like that it makes Samarra the realm of Death, it makes it a mythological place - which is really not. It also implies that Sherlock believes the same fate waits for us all, he doesn’t consider that one’s fate is not his own. What happens to Redbeard/The Other One and later to Mary, the circumstances of it, makes him believe this is what is always meant to happen: we care: we’re doomed. In this case “caring” is Samarra. But that’s not true, he has to understand that, we don’t all die in Samarra, and neither will he.

But there’s a hopeful end, even if it first looks like a rhetorical question: can Samarra be avoided? The rhetoric says it’s not possible, but the question being open enough, it somehow implies it can, there’s a way, it has to. Those lines may have been the introduction to his story where the pirates avoids Samarra and lives, and in present time, it can mean that there is a way to make things right and to reach happiness in having feelings and care for others, for John. He is so obviously hurt by John’s reaction, but something in him tells him things can find a good ending. On another level, this implication that we can avoid Samarra can be a subtext that says it’s possible that Mary faked her death just as Moriarty supposedly did - or that if death can’t be avoided, at least we can chose the terms and place, and that we can still outlive it through posthumous actions - which echoed the beginning of the show, when Sherlock cites the tale either as a prologue for Mary’s story as a prologue for Moriarty’s, since he’s convinced Moriarty died but still is acting.

So in the end, as we can say the story is paralleling Mary’s story, let’s not forget it’s also Sherlock’s story. The tale is hugely paralleling Sherrinford as well, and beyond this the fact Sherlock is convinced he can’t choose to be who he wants to be - all of this coming from the events of his childhood, one of his brother disappearing, the other teaching him to distance himself from any emotion and from people. And on top of that, the tale that speaks about trying to escape death, can also be taken in another way: we cannot escape death, but we can defy it and make our doings survive it. There is a thought that says that our actions make us immortal, our bodies can’t escape death, but our actions, our ideas, our own existence, the impact we have, and the memories we leave behind, are immortal. (That also makes me somehow think about how Vincent Starrett tells Sherlock and John are immortal because they were never born, and also more subtly because their story will never stop to be told.) In Sherlock, that means Moriarty and Mary couldn’t escape death, but that their actions will go on, they still exist beyond death. There is also this hopeful ending Sherlock quotes, that gives another level of reading, it can refer to how Sherlock somehow tricked death before, three times, no less, and so that Moriarty could do it as well. I told it here, the fact Sherlock faked his death was also there to familiarize us with the fact it’s a possible thing to do. And so that one can avoid Samarra, somehow.

That’s it for today, but if you ever find out Sherlock’s lines are actually a quote of something that exists, please let me know. ^^
