The Mystic Vision

1 to 5

p. 1

"According to mystical tradition, … evolution is the unfolding of of a divine plan. Great spiritual beings lead us era by era, stage by stage … . …

p. 2

In the form they have come down to us, these stories … are intended to help us become more conscious of … mystical patterns … . … Stolries … tend to show the immanence of the divine … .”

1

Softly Falleth the Dew

6 to 11

"there must have been a transition {and as yet is, in terms of structuring of logical hierarchies; but not in terms of bringing anything into, nor out of, actual existence} from a state of no matter {the praeternatural worlds all seem quite substantial to their divine denizens, how-be-it} to a state in which matter began." {Not so! There is only an-arkhe (Hellenic for 'no beginning').}

{FALSE! There always hath needed to be a world of material substance in existence, so that divine entities could run destructive tests (destroying the test-materials) on it in order to determine the ongoing rather esoteric needs (for adjusting vibrational patterns) of their own worlds, without doing, nevertheless, any damage to their own worlds.}

"Tolstoy wrote ... : "The false science of our day assumes we cannot know the one thing we really do know : what our reasonable consciousness tells us." ... Mind is rearranging matter all around us all the time."

{That which "our reasonable consciousness tell us" is, of course, that the acts of the mind (acting through the body) are of more significance than the details of the material world (which can be restructured anyway).}

p. 10

"I have been fortunate in the writing of this book to have the help of a remarkable woman ... . She has seen and talked with angels all her life. ... .  

p. 11

... a friend told me that ... a senior theologian at a Dublin college consulted her if {sic : read “whenever”?} he wanted to know if what he was writing about the different orders of angels was right."

2

Mother-Earth and Father-Time

12 to 15

p. 12

"a long boned giant, with scaly white skin and red eyes ... swooped down, pressing himself on top of Mother Earth with black delight. ...

p. 13

But she knew that this had to be ... . So, as he tried to cover her, she spread out and embraced him. She held him so that he could not rise up and fly away again. ... She wanted him to work his way down into her ... ."

p. 444, n. 2:2

"The Neoplatonist Proclus wrote that ... "... the theologists called it the marriage of Heaven and Earth, Saturn and Rhea." {However, Heaven (Ouranos) is a different character from Kronos (Saturn); and also, Rheia is distinct-and-different from Earth (Gaia).}

3

Miyka>el and the Serpent

16-22

"A medieval poem called "The Wartburg War" preserved the tradition of an emerald stone falling from Lucifer's crown, and ... this became an important element in the Grail story."

"Michael has traditionally been depicted as the Archangel of the Sun and Gabriel as the Archngel of the Moon."

4

Spider-Woman Weaveth her Spell

23-27

p. 23

"There was one great giant with a furrowed brow who could see Changing Woman was on her own. ... He wanted her ... . ... One day he noticed her tiwn sons' footprints in the sand and ... asked who had made them. ... But ... on days she feared he might be returning she'd hide her sons in a hole in the middle of her hut which she would then cover up with a slab of sandstone. ...

p. 24

"Who is our father?" they asked. ... .  ... eventually she admitted that their father ws the Sun God who lived far away, ... on an island in the middle of the great ocean. ...

She warned them about the Raven, the Vulture and the Magpie. She said that they were spies for monsters ... ."

p. 24

"Spider Woman beckoned with a gray scaly hand. ... "I will tell you how to find the House of the Sun god." She explained that ... To reach him they would have to pass ... through {read "between"} rock that would clash together ..., through a forest of reeds that would slash ... and across dunes of boiling sand ... .

p. 25

"No man can survive these tests without the talisman I am about to give you," she said. She handed them a hoop made of three eagles ... from live eagles and instructed them to hold it in front of them. ...

They set off again armed with the artefacts ... of the Spider Woman. The rocks of the Grand Canyon parted to let them through, the reeds softened and the dunes quientened and lay down. Then on the shore a rainbow suddenly appeared and they crossed the ocean by walking on it and at last reached the House of the Sun.

Their father ... finally recognized them and gave them helmets made of flint and arrows of lightning and deadly sunbeams."

Isis and the Mystery

28-33

"Seth {STS^} ... had made a beautiful wooden chest, inlaid with gold and silver and precious stones. He said that whoever fitted the chest perfectly could keep it.

One guest after another tried the chest, but they were all ... too short or too tall.

{Compare (or rather, contrast) the bed of Polu-pemon/Damastes/Pro-kroustes.}

Eventually Osiris tried. ... .  ... Seth and his henchmen leapt forward and slammed down the lid. They hammered in nails ... . The chest was now a coffin. Seth and his men ... launched it into the waves. There it floated for many days and many nights until it washed ashore.

A tamarisk tree grew around it, ... until it became entirely enclosed in the tree. In time this tree was chopped down and used for a pillar in the new palace of the Syrian {read "Phoinikian"} king. In her grief Osiris's young wife, Isis, ... had an extraordinary vision : she saw Osiris imprisoned in the old tree that held up the central hall of the palace.

{“Nimue (also known as Vivien, Eviene, Viviane, Nineve, Nina, Viviene and Niniane) was thought to be ... responsible for Merlin's downfall ... trapping him in a bush or Hawthorne tree where his voice is sometimes heard. Some tales have him living forever in his confinement and others tell of his death or his descension into madness." ("C--M&N")} {"Or perhaps she just bewitched him so that he believed that he was encased." (ECM&F, s.v. "Viviane")}

The next morning she ... was allowed to carry the body of Osiris away from the palace to a small island, where she began to use ... magic arts to revive him.

{Cf. the emergence of god Nara-simha (or Nr.-simha) from within a pillar upholding the roof of the royal palace (NSUP 43)."}

But Seth ... saw ... Osiris on ... the island.  ... they snatched away the body and gleefully hacked Osiris to pieces. ... Isis ..., accompanied by her darker-skinned sister Nep{h}thys ... Eventually ... assembled them all ... ."

Godly Lovers and Angelic Wives

34-42

"as Apollo grasped her ... She ...transformed into a laurel tree.

The Afro-Roman poet Ovid {evidently confounded (by author M.B.) with the 5th-century ChAira poe:t Dracontius},

{Publius Ovidius Naso was never in any part of Africa. The themes of his poe:sy have, however, been likened unto those of the poe:t Dracontius, who was, indeed, a native of Africa (TOLA, p. 90).}

who preserved the story, told us that even now Apollo still loved Daphne."

"Genesis, Chapter 6 [verse 2], reads : "The sons of God saw the daughters of men ... : and they took wives which they chose ... .""

Pariks.it in forest.

To`rr “draped the chain around the neck of Fenris”.

SRENG

Ty`r’s hand was bitten off.

Nuadu’s hand was cut off.

Banyan tree (“Pariks.it I.4)”).

p. 49

"In the mind-before-matter account, every thing is charged with intelligence, every thing is full of mind.

The material world ... was formed to cradle ... consciousness ... . ...

Even the most inert-looking object ... is full of intelligence and intent."

p. 50

"In the ancient world the agents of these complex processes in different parts of the body were seen as spiritual -- as gods or angels. ... The ancients ... saw a human being as a spiritual machine made up of many different living parts working in cooperation at the behest of spiritual beings. ...

Ibn {<}Arabi ... said, "Angels are the powers hidden in the organs and faculties of Man." ...

p. 51

On this view, what we like to think of as our intrinsically human qualities have been lent to us by angels."

The Story of the Pretious Ring

52-57

p. 54

There had remained "fragments of a sword" which had been gifted to Sig-urd; these fragments were reforged Sig-frid.

{"And out of his mouth [indicating speech] goeth a sharp sword" (Apokalupsis of Ioannes 19:15); cf. the sword, faced (backwardsly) by the speaking human aspect of Ueue-coyotl (CBM, p. 64).}

A "trench" was dug by Sig-frid.

"the bottomless pit" (Apokalupsis of Ioannes 20:1).}

"Reginn {'rain'} said that the dragon {Is this dragon akin to the serpent having a head on both ends of its body (the rainbow-deity in both tropical-forest African, and tropical-forest South-AmerIndian, religions)?} left the cave every day to go down to the river ... .

{Rain-god Tlaloc is seated on a throne whence floweth a river of water ["a pure river of water of life ... proceeding out of the throne of God" (Apokalupsis of Ioannes 22:1)]; above that river is a serpent having a head on both ends of its body; a man is half-kneeling atop a water-filled cave (CBM, p. 67, lower registre).}

p. 56

Reginn emerged from behind the rocks ... of the dragon, his brother. He asked ... to cut out its heart and roast it. But as Sigfried {Sig-frid}

was roasting the heart {praesumably with a spit through it, for holding it over the bonfire}, ... A drop ... he put ... into his mouth ... --

{A heart having a spit through it is accompanied by a man sipping from a cup of beverage (CBM, p. 68, lower registre).}

and instantly he found that he could understand the language of the birds. The woodpeckers were warning him ... .

{These birds must have been, specifically "green birds"; for, elsewhere in the Qur>an, "green birds" are mentioned as being in evidence in Heaven. European woodpeckers are green.}

p. 450, n. 8:1

"In the {Qur>an} (Sura 27:16), Solomon {Sulayman} says, we have been taught the language of the birds.""

The Mighty Men, the Men of Renown

58-65

p. 60

“the Gorgons … had green-gold wings the shape of bats’ wings, yellowing tusks, and instead of hair they had a writhing mass of snakes.”

The Gods Turn to Humans for Help

66-71

“Thoth …, called Enoch {\H.nowk\} by the Jews and Idris by the Moslems … .”

{The name \>idriys\ is apparently derived from \dirwas\ ‘mastiff’ (DMWA, p. 323b).}

“a prophecy of “the sun of righteousness [with healing in his wings]” (Malachi 4:2 …)”.

{A winged sun-disk is emblematic of the government in the art of both antient TL-MRJ and antient Persia. It can also be a symbol for healing winged archangel Rapa>el.}

Orpheus, the Sphinx and the Timelock

72-82

“he sang to Acheron the ferryman, who agreed to row him over, and he sang to the Furies {Erinues}, their hair plaited with snakes. … The path spiraled downward and eventually Orpheus reached the great chamber where the king and queen of the Underworld sat. ….

So Orpheus began the steep climb, … Eurydice … behind him. After the pathway had spiraled nine times, Orpheus and Eurydice were nearly free.”

“Trees moved up the hill with in order to listen to his music. Oaks leaned forward to hear better. Ash, cypress and elm … climbed the hill also.”
