sex is only half of it.

"To wit, a story or myth makes sense of a meaningless world. So previously I’ve stated that we have our cycle and our one story. Our cycle is based on the sun, and our one story is about sex."~the purpose of flowers

DEATH.

Ourone Story is The Sun; is Sex/Death (The Alpha & The Omega).

-the moon also tells this story in its monthly cycle. (it writes in water also like the sun)


Apollo and Artemis, 1997 Andrew Conklin

1 And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 And being with child, she cried travailing in birth: and was in pain to be delivered. 3 And there was seen another sign in heaven. And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and on his heads seven diadems. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered: that, when she should be delivered, he might devour her son. 5 And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with an iron rod. And her son was taken up to God and to his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she had a place prepared by God, that there they should feed her, a thousand two hundred sixty days.~ Book of Revelation 12:1-18:

  2. Thanks James!
    I enjoy our conversations.
    I like it when I'm lead back to myself to reconsider a previous moment and connect it to now.

    Do we root for Tetsuo to blow up? Is that the same as enlightenment?

    I'm loving the back and forth between Mel and Tox Mund1.
    --It is the argument in my head. I also have my doubts about the position of Jim & Jake in the Jupiter cult. I wrote on another site that the problems of the world are Jupiter problems. The patriarchy must go!

    "Maya, is the principal concept which manifests, perpetuates and governs the illusion and dream of duality in the phenomenal Universe. For some mystics this manifestation is real, but it is a fleeting reality; it is a mistake, although a natural one, to believe that Maya represents a fundamental reality or Truth. [1] Each person, each physical object, from the perspective of eternity is like a brief, disturbed drop of water from an unbounded ocean. The goal of enlightenment is to understand this — more precisely, to experience this: to see intuitively that the distinction between the self and the Universe is a false dichotomy. The distinction between consciousness and physical matter, between mind and body (refer bodymind), is the result of an unenlightened perspective."
    ~from Wikipedia

    I love that Artislav Mel is taking the position of the 7 headed dragon ready to eat the new child in revelation in his argument.
    I can't agree, but it's fascinating to consider.
    be well James.

Abe's Axe is a symbol. Like the firey wand of Hermes, it is the conduit for bringing into action manifestations from the creative imagination. He is not killing vampires so much as freeing living dead men. The great emancipator would like to bring you into the 4th dimension of consciousness. He is going to have to kill you to do this, though. Or, actually, just annihilate your ego to transport you. In this instance, his axe is the craft. A craft is both a transport and a skill. The magician's wand is both. A pen can be mightier than the sword. What's your craft? Use your symbol well. . .
