Álvarez Jaraba, Isidro.  Azúcar: Sucre–Sucre: Entre el mito y el agua (translation: ‘Sugar: the town of Sucre in the state of Sucre: Between Myth and Water’). Sincelejo, department (state) of Sucre, Colombia: Multigráficas, 2005. In Spanish. A beautiful and poetic little book written by a man from Robbie’s hometown about the town and area, loaded with color and black and white illustrations, but poorly reproduced so that many illustrations are fuzzy or discolored, unfortunately. Interesting details on famous local citizens of recent memory, including Gabriel García Márquez and Cayetano Gentile, who was the subject of GGM’s novela, A Death Foretold; neighborhoods and their annual festivals; the church, the cemetery; educational needs; massacres, tortures and population displacements sparked by the arrival of extreme leftist groups in the 80s such as FARC and ELN, or extreme rightist groups such as paramilitaries and armed government forces; ancient history of the area going back to Amerindian groups, especially the Sinú, and so forth. Overall a surprisingly honest expression of despair and hope. The book reveals that the real original youth on whom the character of ‘Ibrahim’ was based, in Dr. Lorenzo’s Hooked on Cocaland, eventually became Sucre County (Municipio) Director of Education and brought into remote river country “thanks to his persistent visionary measures” (p. 34) some education at the university level (1998-2002). Up until then, as ‘Pedro’ described (in subsection 60), you could do post-high-school prep school locally, but had to go inconveniently far away for post-prep-school university-level education.

Ibrahim  (about age 25 in 1994)

“Tan sólo en los últimos años, entre 1988 y 2000, han llegado a Sucre, propiciados por la gestión visionaria e insistente del entonces secretario de Educación municipal,... centros universitarios, en modalidad semipresencial y mediante el sistema de extensiones, ofreciendo programas de licenciaturas que fomentan la formación profesional docente, tales como: La Universidad de Pamplona y la Corporación Universitaria del Caribe-Cecar.”

Isidro Álvarez Jaraba, Azúcar: Sucre–Sucre: Entre el mito y el agua, p. 34 (see above)

(translated:) “It has only been in the last few years, between 1998 and 2002, that Sucre has gotten, thanks to the visionary and insistent measures of the then County Secretary of Education,... [name of person on whom the character of  ‘Ibrahim’ is based]..., centers of university education, in temporary form and by means of extension schools, offering licensure programs that can lead to professional teaching degrees, such as the University of Pamplona and the Corporate University of Caribe-Cecar.”

Appian of Alexandria (Greek historian). Lybica. A history of the people of the Roman Empire’s province of ‘Africa’, centered around Carthage, roughly today’s city of Tunis in Tunisia. Written 2^nd century AD. This ancient Roman province of 'Africa' was where St. Augustine grew up and later served as bishop.

“Aspectos Generales del Municipio de Sucre.” (“General Aspects of the County of Sucre.”) In Spanish. Date, author and publication unknown, but probably from the county (municipio) president's or mayor’s office in Sucre, Sucre, around the mid-1990s. Dr. Lorenzo was handed the photocopied preliminary 23-page government proposal sometime between 1994 and 1998 by his friends in Robbie’s river country hometown, which was the county seat for Sucre municipio or county. The first nineteen pages cover History of the municipio (county), relative Location, Geographic Extent, Administrative Political Components such as incorporated towns, country lanes, and hamlets; Climate; Water flow including natural rivers and bayous and also irrigation and lifesaving flood-control canals built by ancient indigenous tribes; Topography; Flora; Fauna; Economic Activities; Handicrafts (“none”); Tourism (“potentially bewitching, but not exploited due to the lack of means for reaching the town”); Population; Poverty; Housing (983 houses in the county seat [i.e., the town which mj lorenzo called Robbie’s hometown of ‘Santisima Cruz’]); Commerce; Social Aspects including employment, education, aqueducts, culture, sports and community organizations; Public Works incl. electric, trash collection (“NONE!” [surprise! pigs and canal get all!]), telephone [two per neighborhood]; etc., etc. The last 8 pages, entitled “Proposals for a Government Plan,” outline special needs in areas of education, health, drinkable water, basic sanitation, etc., etc.

Augustine (Bishop of Hippo). Confessions. Written 397 AD. A book Dr. Lorenzo was studying at the time of his 1994 trip to Colombia, with the result that it affected his thinking and many aspects of that trip and the resulting diary, including especially his attitudes about abstention from sex. In it, he said, Augustine propagated his 'cockamamie' theology that the 'sin', imperfection and guilt of Adam and Eve were automatically and unavoidably transferred from one generation to the next, something like the AIDS virus, by 'fornication', which Augustine claimed could no longer be called 'lovemaking' because it had become by nature sinful, imperfect, unholy and guilt-linked as a result of the 'Fall' of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

Augustine (Bishop of Hippo). Expositions on the Psalms. Quoted by C. G. Jung in Mysterium Coniunctionis, q.v. below. Derived from Augustine’s Sunday sermons on the Psalms, date uncertain, possibly over multiple years (of the early fifth century A.D.).

Augustine (Bishop of Hippo). The City of God. Written 413-427 A.D. Studied by mj lorenzo around the time of his 1994 trip to Colombia, it colored his thinking and trip considerably, including ideas about celibacy and unwanted sexual stimulation.

Briggs Myers, Isabel, with Peter B. Myers. Gifts Differing. Palo Alto: Consulting Psychologists Press, Inc., 1980. Used by Dr. Lorenzo to estimate his and Robbie's contrasting personality styles according to Carl Jung's 'personality type' standards. Briggs Myers based her measuring instrument on Carl Jung's classic work, Personality Types. Jung was the first to use, delineate and define the psychological terms and concepts 'introvert' and 'extrovert', but went well beyond this in categorizing personality types.

Broderick, Joe. Camilo Torres: A Biography of the Priest-Guerrillero. New York: Doubleday, 1975. Studied by Dr. Lorenzo after his return from Colombia in 1994, to understand Colombia's political history and leftist guerrilla insurgencies. It tells the touching biography of a likeable, even beloved (by many Colombians especially) Colombian hero-priest who joined the ELN rebel group (whose inspiration were Fidel Castro and Che Guevara) and was killed age 37 in 1966 in his first military encounter with the enemy.

Bunyan, John. The Pilgrim’s Progress from this World to that which is to Come. New York: Grosset and Dunlap. No year of publication given. Appears to be early 20^th century. This edition was the Lorenzo family’s Pilgrim’s Progress during the years when the Dr. was growing up, during the 1940s and 50s, when his parents, Rev and Jo, would read from it some nights at the kitchen table after dinner, alternating it with readings from the Bible. Pilgrim’s Progress was originally published in England in 1678 (Part 1) and 1684 (Part 2), having been written in 1675 while the Baptist-Puritan author was in jail for illegally preaching outside the only church allowed by English law (at that time), the Church of England. For a while it was the most widely read book in the English language, after the Bible. Who understands this book will understand much better the Calvinist Christian religion and worldview upon and within which mj lorenzo was consciously raised, and upon whose values most U. S. Americans are still raised, albeit unconsciously, in most cases.

Buque Escuela Gloria 1993 (transl.: Ship School ‘Glory’ 1993), liberally illustrated 20-page brochure in Spanish and English, produced by Colombia’s general maritime office, Dirección General Maritima, specifically by Fondo Rotatorio Armada Nacional, and handed out free by the ship’s officers and sailors as a good-will gesture to interested parties around the world. It tells the story of the fifteen-sail ambassadorial teaching frigate which travels around the world making friends for Colombia, and it marks 1993 as the 25^th anniversary of the ship’s christening, outlining its officers and the special journey which the beautifully rigged frigate took in 1993 to the Mediterranean. It was given Dr. Lorenzo by his Colombian host family, specifically Robbie Rivera's brother-in-law, who was an officer on the ship.

Calvin, John. Calvin's Commentaries: Genesis, Volume I of Calvin's Commentaries on the First Book of Moses called Genesis, translated from the original Latin and compared with the French edition by The Reverend John King. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1948; but based on the English translation of London, 1578. Originally published in Latin in 1563 and then in French in Geneva, Switzerland in 1564, the year of Calvin's death, by the publishing house of Estienne, and later in London in 1578, in English. Pulled from the house-filling library shelves of Dr. Lorenzo's 'Uncle Eddie' and studied by the Dr. in 2014 while at his uncle's in Seattle, he uses it here in 'Related Thoughts' to help describe how, at age 71, he 'Re-found his Christian faith'. The so-called 'commentary on the Pentateuch' was put together in 1563, just one year before Calvin, 'The Theologian', as even the Roman church called him, passed away. Presumably this commentary, like many others of Calvin's, arose not just from Sunday morning sermons, which were informal, hortatory, passionate and simple, so that all levels of the congregation could understand, but mostly from the formal weekday evening scholarly educational lectures he offered his congregation over many years in Geneva. According to Bruce Gordon (q.v. below, under 'Gordon', pp. 288-291), by the 1550s Calvin, a prolific writer in Latin and French, had helped make Geneva a major publishing center, with the result that various printing houses scrapped with him and his brother and Geneva's St. Peter's church board over the privilege of publishing him. Calvin's own favorite publisher was Robert Estienne, as here, who had been the French royal publisher, printing books for the French king in Paris; but who had then found it necessary to leave his country of France altogether, just as Calvin had, due to his Huguenot (Calvinist-Protestant) tendencies, and had settled in Geneva, Switzerland with Calvin and so many other exiles from the Catholic persecution of church-reforming Protestants in France. (See 'Gordon' below.) In the Dr.'s 'Related Thoughts', all of his quotes from Calvin's commentary on Genesis are taken from the introduction to the work, the 'Argument', Calvin's entire conception of which was aimed especially at the boy Henry of Navarre, who was being raised Calvinist/Huguenot Protestant, and was in line to become the French king. Calvin was hoping the impact of this very famous 'Argument' on the boy Henry would nudge Calvin's own French nation in the direction of reforming its corrupt and 'impious' Roman church; but in the end, some years later, and long after Calvin's death, the very Roman Catholic French would have nothing of it. They insisted Henry convert to Catholicism before becoming their king; which he did, uttering the famous line, "Paris is worth a mass."

Campbell, Joseph. The Hero with a Thousand Faces. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1949. Describes the common essential universal characteristics of the world's greatest culture heroes down through time, in all cultures and civilizations from the most famous to the least, from Christ and Buddha to the medieval Ulster Cycle's Cuchulainn. Basically Campbell makes a science out of defining the term 'culture hero', and does so artfully. When Campbell's definition was used by Sammy Martinez and scholars worldwide to measure whether mj lorenzo might rightly be called a 'culture hero', they concluded that the Dr. did deserve such a designation (see Title Page, footnote 1).

Carrigan, Ana, and O’Brien, Conor Cruise. The Palace of Justice: A Colombian Tragedy. New York: Thunder’s Mouth Press, 1993. Describes in detail the terrible 1980s event when a Colombian rebel group kidnapped all of Colombia's supreme court justices at once; and the Colombian military 'solved the problem' by blowing up the supreme court building, rebels, justices and all.

Castaneda, Carlos. The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1969, 1998. Carlos, a UCLA student, decided to interview a Mexican Yaqui tribal shaman so he could write a PhD thesis on mind-altering drugs. As a surprising result, however, Carlos ended up deciding to undergo training in shamanism. It read (and still reads) like a novel but really happened to the author, so he claimed, and therefore at points read also like a high-level anthropology treatise, with the result that, at The Tattered Cover in Denver and other bookstores all across the USA, shelvers and catalogers were bewitched and bewildered as to which department to place it in, Anthropology, Fiction, or New Age Religion. Dr. Lorenzo draws on several of Castaneda's books in many of his works.

Churchill, Winston. A History of the English-Speaking Peoples, Vol. 3, The Age of Revolution. New York: Dodd, Mead, 1966. Describes two of the naval battles (1704; 1708) in which Efren's Spanish/Colombian naval hero, Blas de Lezo, fought and was wounded: Malaga (p. 54) and Toulon (p. 67).

Churchill, Winston. The Gathering Storm. Cambridge, Mass.: Houghton Mifflin, 1948. Used by Dr. Lorenzo as an argument for the existence of what he labelled 'mass psychosis', it describes what Churchill called the 'insanity' of the British between the World Wars, in ignoring the buildup of the German military.

Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition. (Nickname: ‘DSM IV’, i.e., ‘dsm4’.) Washington, D.C.: American Psychiatric Association, 1994. Dr. Lorenzo, a retired psychiatrist after 2000, uses the DSM-IV in the present work to help clarify his term 'mass psychosis'.

Durant, Will. The Story of Civilization, Volume 3: Caesar and Christ: A History of Roman Civilization and of Christianity from Their Beginnings to A.D. 325. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1944. Studied by Dr. Lorenzo not too many years before his 1994 trip to Colombia, it helped him believe (wrongly, we hope) that Western civilization was, or might be, coming to an end soon.

Duvall, Bruce Crawford. a look at mj lorenzo’s first book: The Remaking. Published at the present website, 2012. The Remaking was originally ‘published’ ‘underground’ by mj’s father, Rev. Lorenzo, when he photocopied his son’s 1970-71 written doodlings and handed them out in the Philadelphia area in November of 1971, especially on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in West Phila., hoping thereby to find his lost son; as a result of which mj lorenzo’s first book became an ‘underground sensation’, as described passim (but especially in the chapter entitled ‘Sixth Attempt’, subsection 202) in Duvall’s ‘look at’ The Remaking.

along the river between Magangué and Santisima Cruz, during flood season
(seen from inside chalupa)

Dr. Lorenzo always felt – all his life afterward – and claimed:

that when he stepped into the chalupa in Magangué

he entered unwittingly a world beyond the ‘limen’, as Jung called it
a world of dream, and other-world knowledge

a world of healers’ magic, visions, and the unconscious.

Did Santisima Cruz really happen?  Did it really exist?  Or was it a dream?

What kind of people would create such a place?

(Maybe that was the most important question in the end, he said.)

If it did really exist, and his visit really happened, was it the way he remembered, or was his memory of it half-dream?

For that matter, was anybody’s experience of life 'real'?  Or wasn’t it 'really' a ‘dream’, as many sages had said.

The Dr.’s pundit following supported these reactions of their hero’s.

The ‘early Remaking pundits’ claimed that the same thing happened to mj lorenzo in most of his books

and definitely so in The Remaking, in his Waring trilogy, and in Hooked on Cocaland:

he began a story in the 'real' world and then crossed over

passed the limen

into a world of the unconscious and the dream

he started in ordinary reality and crossed into non-ordinary reality

(some said he never was in ordinary reality)

and that was why

people saw so many different things in his writing

and understood it in different ways, each seemingly valid in its own way

and yet remained so intensely devoted to him, all

and got along, more or less, despite their differences

because of what he had helped each one see.

The ‘culture hero pundits’, however, added a twist to the Remaking pundits’ interpretation.

They said mj lorenzo not only crossed to the other world,

he also crossed from his own humdrum culture

to a very unfamiliar and strange, exciting and stimulating exotic culture

in each of the three works mentioned.

This, they said, was what made him the ‘culture hero’

for an entire planet:

his ability to easily cross 'very out there' cultural lines in his art.

And for this dynamite interpretation the 'culture hero pundits' received the year-2000 MOISTR award

annually bestowed on the person or group which in a given year came up with

the

Most Outasight Interpretation of Something in The Remaking

(or any other mj lorenzo work, as the prize had come to mean over the years).

García Márquez, Gabriel. 100 Years of Solitude, transl. Gregory Rabassa. New York: Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006. Originally published in Argentina in 1967. GGM was from the area of coastal Colombia Dr. Lorenzo visited in 1994. Many of GGM's stories were set either in 'Santisima Cruz', the river town the Dr. visited, or in nearby Aracataca, where GGM spent his little-boy years under the care of his grandparents absorbing his grandfather's tales of the area's bizarre history. Based partly on those perhaps exaggerated, warped and/or all-too-true tales, and at the same time filtered through the memory of a suggestible little boy genius (GGM) with terrific imagination, 100 Years of Solitude presents a shockingly bizarre fantasy version of Aracataca during Colombia's 'Thousand Days War' (1899-1902) and adjacent historical epochs.

‘don Jaime’s place’ on the river at the main dock in Santisima Cruz

“...‘a town where the snakes came into the houses and there was no electric light;

a town where the floods were so bad in winter that the land disappeared beneath the water

and clouds of mosquitoes appeared’....

with no road or rail access to anywhere.

It was like a floating island lost in a lattice-work of rivers and streams

amidst what had once been dense tropical jungle,

now thinned out by constant human endeavour

but still covered by trees and undergrowth

with large clearings for cattle, rice, sugar cane and maize.”

(from Martin’s biography of Gabriel García Márquez, p. 67,
descibing Santisima Cruz as GGM first experienced it age 12)

Schultz, Samuel J. The Old Testament Speaks. New York: Harper & Brothers, 1960. A conservative Calvinist view of what the Jews call 'The Law and the Prophets'.

Schwanitz, Dietrich. La cultura: Todo lo que hay que saber. Madrid: Santillana Ediciones Generales, S.L., 2002. The Spanish title means: ‘Culture: all you need to know’. The original title in German was Bildung: Alles was mann wissen muss (Frankfurt: Eichborn, 1999), by which the author meant, in English, ‘How to build proper character by means of a liberal arts education: all you need to know’. For a number of years this German university textbook of European history, quite popular in Europe, having been translated into a number of Continental languages, had for some strange reason never been translated into English. Dr. Lorenzo did not know whether, as of 12/2016 it finally might have been, or not. He knew it only in the Spanish translation described here. The book presents a 20th century German historian's view of how it happened that a Calvinist worldview helped the United States of America defeat Germany in two world wars, win the Cold War against the communist Soviet Union, and then become, shockingly, the one and only global superpower.

Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr I. The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956. New York: Harper & Row, 1973.

Toynbee, Arnold. A Study of History. Abridgement of Vols. I-VI by D. C. Somervell. New York: Oxford, 1947. A study of how civilizations are made and broken, a book which (1) helped foster Dr. Lorenzo's psychotic delusion in 1994, as he wrote the present Colombian diary, that Western civilization was coming to an end; and which, years later, (2) helped him see that there might be a solution in a 'culture hero'.

Waters, Frank. The Man Who Killed the Deer. New York: Washington Square Press, 1942, 1970, 1971. A novel popular down through the years among the high school students of Sammy Martinez' after-school reading club. A man is caught between two cultures, that of the Taos Pueblo, and that of the Anglo population slowly taking over New Mexico around the 1930s.

Weber, Max. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. Considered a classic of scientific Sociological/Historical research; an analysis of the social, psychological, economic and historical ramifications of Calvin's theology and teaching as lived by adherents of his particular kind of Protestant worldview. Dr. Lorenzo’s copy, an English translation of the 95-page scientific monograph published in German in 1905, he downloaded free from the University of Virginia’s ‘American Studies Program’ website, where it was published in 2001. It is not about mere 'Protestant' ethic in general, but rather Calvinist Protestant ethic in particular. Weber’s mother was a pious Calvinist Protestant from the Rhineland, his father a partying Lutheran Protestant from near Berlin, and puzzled by it all as a little boy, he eventually made a scientific study of the Calvinist side to understand why his mother was so much more serious, sincere, dedicated, and self-sacrificing as a result of her faith, than his father, despite his, who guzzled beer and partied like Martin Luther himself. Dr. Lorenzo, still today (December, 2017), frequently refers to it as support for his argument that the U. S. American weltanschauung (worldview; way of looking at life and the world) is essentially Calvinist or neo- (modified) Calvinist.
