Goethe, Faust Part II Act I Imperial Residence Throne Room
In Fausts absence, Wagner has been pursuing his alchemical research and is on the verge of
producing the homunculus (little man), an artificial being produced through the alchemical art.
Unbeknownst to Wagner, Mephistopheles helps bring the process to fruition, and Homunculus awakes.
Unlike a naturally produced baby, he is instantly knowledgeable and wise. Although he looks like a
perfect little man, his body is insubstantial and he stays inside the alchemical flask (alembic) in which he
was made (although he can float around in his flask).
Faust is still unconscious as a consequence of his attempt to physically seize the image of Helen.
As a spirit and a product of a union of opposites, Homunculus drifts over to him and is able to see what
Faust is dreaming, which happens to be the myth of Leda and the Swan (which tells how Leda became
pregnant with Helen). Of course, the creation of Homunculus is suggestive of many contemporary Faustian
technologies, such as cloning and the direct assembly of organisms from their DNA sequences (which has
been done with viruses already). Consider Wagners view of the mystery of life:
Wagner thinks that his unnatural, chemical creation of life is preferable to Begetting in the former
fashion (6838) and will soon replace it. Cf., The last man (German: der letzte Mensch) is a term used by
the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra to describe the antithesis of the imagined
The reproach of Nathan and the penance of King David (Paris Psalter, folio 136v, 10th century)i
superior being, the bermensch, whose imminent appearance is heralded by Zarathustra. This Over
Man may be contrasted to a weak-willed individual, one who is tired of life, takes no risks, seeks only
comfort and security: The last man lives in a comfortable, safe, egalitarian and happy society comprised
of other last men. It is egalitarian not out of mutual respect, but rather out of mutual apathy and distaste
for the burden of rule. By virtue of being a creature that has no chaos within him and no ability for
creativity or change, the last man is a stagnant conclusion of humanity.

Mans false god: the unconscious mental phenomena manifest in a persons mind but which the person
is not aware of. These phenomena include unconscious feelings, unconscious or automatic skills,
unnoticed perceptions, unconscious thoughts, unconscious habits and automatic reactions, neurotic
complexes, hidden phobias and concealed desires; as the source of night dreams and automatic thoughts;
the repository of memories that have been forgotten but that may nevertheless be accessible to
consciousness at some later time; and the locus of implicit knowledge, i.e. all the things that we have
learned so well that we do them without thinking.
3
Mans false god the conscious mind: variously defined as subjective experience, awareness, the ability
to experience feeling, wakefulness, or the executive control system of the mind.
Anything that we are aware of at a given moment forms part of our consciousness,
making conscious experience at once the most familiar and most mysterious aspect of our lives.

And his children like green olive plants around his table

Over-and-over again;
From the day when his ancestors were solemnly warned to obey,
Even unto this day,
Inclining not his ears to hearing & speaking
Hearkening not to The Voice when conjured for instruction;
He would turn his back & not his face to the teachings.
He would not pay attention & learn & never obeyed the message.
painful emotions put out of mind by the mechanism of psychological repression. Unconscious thoughts are
not directly accessible to ordinary introspection, but are supposed to be capable of being interpreted by
special methods and techniques such as meditation, random association, dream analysis, &c. Freuds own
terms for mentation taking place outside conscious awareness were das Unbewusste (rendered by his
translators as the Unconscious) and das Vorbewusste (the Preconscious).
Unconscious is dynamically unconscious, the Preconscious merely descriptively so: the
contents of the Unconscious require special investigative techniques for their exploration, whereas
something in the Preconscious is unrepressed and can be recalled to consciousness by the simple direction
of attention or, remembering. Cf., in ancient Persia, a vizier called The Accuser had the job of going
out into the community to spy upon the people and report any trouble-makers, which hed invent, finding
none! And, the accused wouldst must prove them innocent of the accusation or be judged guilty!

The Sons of Qedem are usually mentioned in connection with the stories about conflicts between the
sedentary population and nomads from long ago. Qedem literally means the direction of the rising sun.
The sons of Qedem are identified as the people of the east which was to include Job a son of Issachar of

[Wikipedia]: Salic law (Lat. Lex Salica) was a body of traditional law codified for governing the Salian
Franks in the early Middle Ages during the reign of King Clovis I in the 6th century. The best-known tenet
of Salic law is agnatic succession, the rule excluding females from the inheritance of a throne or fief.
The law of Charlemagne was based on Salic Law, an influence as great as that of Greece and Rome.
Through that connection, Salic law has had a formative influence on the tradition of statute law that has
extended since then to modern times in Central Europe, especially in the German states, France, &c.
Concerning terra Salica no portion or inheritance is for a woman but all the
land belongs to members of the male sex who are brothers.
Cf., [Wikipedia]: The Daughters of Zelophehad (Hebrew: ) were five sisters in the
Hebrew Bible who lived during the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, and who raised before Moses the
case of a womans right and obligation to inherit property in the absence of a male heir in the family.
Zelophehad was killed for picking up sticks on the Sabbath. Zelophehads daughters petitioned Moses,
Eleazar the priest, the chieftains, and the whole assembly, at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting for their
right to inherit his property rights in the Stolen Land of Canaan. (Num. 27:24).
The chiefs of the tribe of Joseph complained that if the daughters of Zelophad received their
position of their fathers inheritance then the possession would pass on through their husbands to their
husbands tribes, and so the possessions of Joseph as a tribe would get less The Lord answered, The
tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well! Let the daughters of Zelophad marry whom they think best; only
to the tribe of their father shall they marry. Thus will the inheritance be kept in the tribe of their father.

And, look his garments have not worn out!

[Wikipedia]: The conflict between good and evil is one of the precepts of the Zoroastrian faith, first
enshrined by Zarathustra over 3000 years ago. It is also one of the most common conventional themes in
literature, and is sometimes considered to be a universal part of the human condition. There are several
variations on this conflict, one being the battle between individuals or ideologies, with one side Good, the
other Evil. Another variation is the inner struggle in characters (and by extension, humans in reality)

[Wikipedia]: Being slain in the Spirit is a term used within charismatic Christianity. It describes a
religious behaviour in which an individual falls to the floor and convulses. This usually happens during an
event they perceive as a personal encounter with the Holy Spirit, often associated with the practice of
laying on of hands.
And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt
them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. (Mark 16:17-18) Behold, I give unto you
power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any
means hurt you. (Luke 10:19)

The wicked enjoy happy, festive lives & die quietly in old age,
Spared the pangs of prolonged illness;
The righteous desire above all to know Gods Ways & to follow
The path that brings Life: The perverse willfully reject God,
Yet they continue to prosper.
They pass their lives in prosperity,
And quickly go to Sheol;
Though, they said, Begone! & to God, too!
We care not to know Your Way.

[Wikipedia]: Animal Farm is a dystopian allegorical novella by George Orwell; published in England on
17 August 1945. While this novel portrays corrupt leadership as the flaw in revolution (and not the act of
revolution itself), it also shows how potential ignorance and indifference to problems within a revolution
could allow horrors to happen if smooth transition to a peoples government isn't satisfied.
The Seven Commandments of Animalism are written on the wall of a barn. The most important
is the seventh, All animals are equal. The pigs impose more control while reserving privileges for
themselves and rewrite history. Later, the pigs are corrupted by the absolute power they hold over the
farm. Eventually the laws are replaced with All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than
others [ ] and Four legs good, two legs better! as the pigs become more human.

Some scholars suggest a link between the Sabaeans and the Biblical land of Sheba - a kingdom
mentioned in the Jewish scriptures (Old Testament) and the Qur'an. The ancient Sabaean Kingdom lasted
from the early 2nd millennium to the 1st century BCE. The Sabaean people were from South-eastern Arabia
and involved in the extremely lucrative spice trade, especially frankincense and myrrh.
Those who believe, and the Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabeans, and the
Magians [Zoroastrians] and those who set up gods (with Allah) whoever believes in
Allah and the Last Day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and

(Genesis 2:7)
Lilith is the name of Adams first wife, who was created at the same time and from the same earth
as Adam. She left Adam after she refused to become subservient to Adam and then would not return to the
Garden of Eden after she mated with archangel Samael, (also Sammael, perhaps Venom of God) who is
accuser, seducer and destroyer, and has been regarded as both good and evil. In the capacity of Angel of
Death, he is a fallen angel but nevertheless remains one of the Lords servants. As a good angel, Samael
supposedly resides in the seventh heaven, although he is declared to be the chief angel of the fifth heaven.

Calvary was a place outside of Jerusalem, where thieves, traitors, and murderers

And this foul and loathsome spot was chosen by the SON Of GOD as a

Prostitution or rape? [Jewish Womans Archive]: Satan (possessing Danel-ihu, he) maltreated Uzit just
as he persecuted Job himself. He knew that Uzit went to the marketplace, so he disguised himself as a
bread seller. Satan convinced her that he would give her three loaves of bread (sufficient for three days) if
she would give him the hair of her head. Uzit said to herself: Of what use to me is my hair when my
husband is starving? (Divrei Iyov 23:9), and Satan cut off her hair in view of all (ibid. chaps. 2225). This
act led Jobs wife to the breaking point, and she bemoaned her bitter fate to her husband.
A woman whose heart and bones have been broken by her troubles: The sorrowful Divrei Iyov
places Uzits former high station and riches in stark contrast with her present deprivation. Once she had a
palanquin with fourteen curtains covering it [] and now she trades her hair for bread [] Behold, the one
who was wrapped in fine linen with gold filigree now is garbed in rags and sells her hair for bread (25:16).
After this, Uzit engages in hard labor to sustain herself and her husband (chap. 39). She then leaves her
employer, and when Jobs friends come to visit him, she asks them to order the excavation of the ruins of
the house that had fallen on her children and killed them, and extricate the bodies. Job prevents them from
doing as she wishes, saying that the dead have ascended to Heaven, but his friends see this as a sign of the
madness that has possessed him (chap. 39). The unfortunate woman eventually returns to her place of
employment to receive her wages and dies there in one of the animals stalls. Jobs wife receives the honor
due her only after her death, when her many acts of kindness to all become known, and the poor of the city
greatly mourn in her honor and chant a lament (chap. 40).
After Uzits death Job marries Dinah, a woman from a distinguished family

[Wikipedia]: Freud wrote of das Es, das Ich, and das ber-Ich
respectively, the It, the I, and the Over-I (or Upper-I). Although the id is
unconscious by definition, the ego and the super-ego are both partly conscious and partly
unconscious.
The id comprises the unorganized part of the personality structure that contains
the basic drives, such as food, water, sex, and basic impulses: The id acts according to the
pleasure principle, seeking to avoid pain or un-pleasure aroused by increases in
instinctual tension. Developmentally, the id is anterior to the ego; (i.e. the psychic
apparatus begins, at birth, as an undifferentiated id, part of which then develops into a
structured ego.)
The Ego acts according to the reality principle; i.e. it seeks to please the ids
drive in realistic ways that will benefit in the long term rather than bringing grief. The
Ego comprises that organized part of the personality structure, including defensive,
perceptual, intellectual-cognitive, and executive functions. Conscious awareness resides
in the ego, although not all of the operations of the ego are conscious. The ego
separates what is real and helps us to organize our thoughts to make sense of them and
the world around us. The Latin term ego is used in English to translate Freuds German
term Das Ich
The Super-ego can be thought of as a type of conscience that punishes
misbehavior with feelings of guilt. The Super-ego works in contradiction to the id. The
Super-ego strives to act in a socially appropriate manner, whereas the id just wants instant
self-gratification. The Super-ego controls our sense of right and wrong and guilt. It helps
us fit into society by getting us to act in socially acceptable ways. The Super-egos
demands oppose the ids, so the ego has a hard time in reconciling the two. The super-
ego tends to stand in opposition to the desires of the id because of their conflicting
objectives, and its aggressiveness towards the ego. The super-ego acts as the conscience,
maintaining our sense of morality and proscription from taboos.
The concept of super-ego and the Oedipus complex is subject to criticism for its
perceived sexism. Women, who are considered to be already castrated, do not identify
with the father, and therefore form a weak super-ego, leaving them susceptible to
immorality and sexual identity complications.
Uzits attitude and response exactly matched the one Satan had set out to evoke from Job cursing
God. How ironic that Satan achieved his goal in Jobs sole surviving companion and not in Job himself.
Though Jobs wife is not mentioned in the closing chapters, we learn in 42:14 that three
daughters, Jemima, Kezia, and Keren-happuch, as well as sons, were later born to him by Dinah.
My lips will not speak falsehood
For as long as the Spirit of God fills my nostrils
I will watch my ways so as not to sin with my tongue;
I will set a curb on my mouth.

The Rape of the Sabine Women is an episode in the legendary history of Rome in which the first
generation of Roman men acquired wives for themselves from the neighboring Sabine families (in this
context, rape means abductionraptiorather than its prevalent modern meaning of sexual violation).
Cf., The Rape of Dinah: After wrestling with the Angel, Jacob, calling him Israel, bought land
near the city of Shechem, where his family settled and the women began to visit the local women and
make friends with them. On one of these visits Israels daughter Dinah was raped by the son of a local
ruler, Shechem son of Hamor; his sons were away in the field (making war is inferred) at the time.
When they heard they were infuriated. Hamor met them and proposed marriage and friendship (and
commerce) between them. But the sons of Israel held on to their anger... They said, On the condition
you are circumcised. [Circumcision being used to mark slaves of the chosen people as such.] When all the
men of Shechem were newly circumcised and in pain from their wounds, the sons of Israel attacked and
killed them and looted their city stealing all the wives and children. They killed Hamor and Shechem and
took Dinah away and Israel, aghast with horror and fear of retribution, left that place and took all his
family and possessions to Bethel.

The reference is meant to infer the day-star. [Wikipedia]: Lucifer is a Latin word (from the words lucem
ferre), literally meaning light-bearer, which in that language is used as a name for the dawn appearance
of the planet Venus, and heralding daylight. Use of the word in this sense is uncommon in English, in
which Day Star or Morning Star is more common expressions. (In English, Lucifer" generally refers
to the Devil, although the name is not applied to him in the New Testament.) Cf., the primordial king of
Argos, in Greek mythology, Phoroneus () the fire-bringer, who introduced both the worship of
Hera and the use of fire and the forge, and was the first to gather the people together into a community; for
they had up to then been living as scattered and lonesome families. Also cf., the Titan Prometheus
(Ancient Greek: , "forethought"), who was a champion of human-kind and known for his wily
intelligence he stole fire from Zeus and gave it to mortals. Zeus then punished him for his crime by

Lay a road through the desert for the Rider on the Clouds24
On the heights of Ancient Heavens
Behold! His Voice resoundeth & It Is the Thunder of His Power.
The Heavens declare His Glory & the noise thereof telleth
Concerning the Tempest that cometh up,
Venting His Wrath against evil:
And echoes the issue of His Lips;
His Holy Voice rocks the earth.
The high places of the earth shook & the waters saw you;
O Lord, the waters saw you & shuddered.
The very depths were troubled & the clouds poured down water;
The skies gave forth their voice.
His arrows also spread abroad:

The storm god, Baal, was a West Semitic import to Egypt. Late Bronze Age texts discovered at Ras
Shamra (ancient Ugarit) on the Levantine coast, from which his cult spread, indicate that by 1400 BCE,
Baal had displaced the god El to become the most important god in the local pantheon. However, the
meaning of Baal is owner or lord [or Master] and in the earliest of times it is questionable whether
the word was used as a title for important local gods in general, or as a proper name to a specific god. Baal
was known to be a rider of clouds, most active during storms but was also considered to be a lord of
heaven and earth, even controlling earths fertility. He was the god of thunderstorms, the most vigorous
and aggressive of the gods and the one on whom mortals feared most and depended upon as rain-bringer.
The firmament proclaimed His handiwork
Day pours out the Word to day & night to night.
Knowledge & the Lord shall make the Glory of His Voice
Be heard & in hearing shall show the terror of His arm;
In the threatening of Wrath & the flames of devouring fire
He shall crush to pieces the whirlwind & hailstone.
He scatters the Cloud of His Light & how he made shine
The Light of His Cloud from the Brightness of His Presence.
Coals were kindled to flame.
Archangel Michael slaying Satan represented as a dragon: Quis ut Deus is inscribed on his shield.
Main entrance, University of Bonn, Germany
Quis ut Deus? is a Latin phrase meaning Who is like God? and is a literal translation of the
name Michael (Hebrew: , transliterated Michael or Mkhl).
ENTER THE ARCH-ANGEL MICHAEL
THE ARCH-ANGEL MICHAEL, (speaking to all, but looking right at the false god)
AYYUBH-UM, (to Arch-Angel Michael mistakenly believing Him to be the One True
God & pointing out the faults of those present)
Companion of thieves
AYYUBH-UM (judges his friends too harshly ignoring Arch-Angel Michaels meaning &
attributing the statement as a warning to the others)
Learn to do well.
Seek judgment & relieve the oppressed
Judge for the fatherless & defend the widow.
THE THREE FRIENDS (speaking in turns, over each other & against each other, &
repeating whats already been said)
AYYUBH-UM, (hysterical, with tears in his eyes, his voice straining with emotion)
O these two sat down upon garments laid to pledge by every alter
And they drank the Wine of the Condemned in the house of their god.
AYYUBH-UM, (dropping his arms & his head to speak to his own shadow)
They divided my garments among them & for my vestures they cast lots
You shall buy meats of them for money & shall eat;
You shall draw waters for money & shall drink.
If I had eaten my morsel alone - & the fatherless hath not eaten thereof
If I lifted my hand against the fatherless,
Even when I saw me superior in advantage at the gate
They are grown gross & fat & have most wickedly transgressed Thy Word.
A speedy witness against them that oppress the widows & the fatherless;
AYYUBH-UM, (sobbing & beating the ground with his hands flailing his feet in a
tantrum)
The three false gods begin to wax, wane, & fade away
AYYUBH-UM (wriggles on his belly before those present his wife & friends - & climbs
to his knees, kneading his fingers together)
And as he spoke of the loud Voice in Heaven it seemed to the others as if it were
not Ayyubh-um speaking but the One True God
And, Ayyubh-um continued speaking without pause or hesitation.
AYYUBH-UM, (taking his feet & throwing his arms wide to keep the others from crowding
around him he shakes his fist at the Triad of false gods, which commence to fade)
But I that IT AM have chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.
I, JEALOUS, have chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are
mighty.

The Good Samaritan (after Delacroix) by Vincent van Gogh, 1890
Krller-Mller Museum
The parable of the Good Samaritan is a parable told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke (10:25-37).
In the parable, a Jewish traveler is beaten, robbed, and left half dead along the road. First a priest and then
a Levite come by, but both avoid the man. Finally, a Samaritan comes by. Samaritans and Jews generally
despised each other, but the Samaritan helps the injured Jew.
I do know that for the sympathy of one living being, I would make
peace with all. I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and
rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will
indulge the other.

In lifting up myne eyes to heaven & in looking down to the earth beneath
As the heavens vanishlike smoke;
And all the hosts of the heavens pine away
And fall down as the leaf falleth from the vine & the fig tree
To the earth!
And the earth shall be worn away & the inhabitants thereof
All shall perish in like manner.
But my Salvation shall be for ever & my justice shall not fail.
Call now!
If there be any out of the great number of the Divine Retinue that will answer thee:
Which of the Holy Ones will you turn too?

A man could hope for just one to intercede for him before the Lord.
An interceding saint guardian angel
ARCH-ANGEL RAPHAEL, (to Ayyubh-um)
Behold!
The One True God will send His Angel
To go before thee & keep thee in thy journey & bring thee into the place He Hast
Prepared;
For His Angels He has given command about you,
That they guard you in all your ways:
Upon their hands they shall bear thee up
Lest ye shouldst dash yine foot against a stone
And ye shall tread upon the asp & the viper;
Ye shall trample the lion & dragon.
His Holy Angel encamps around those who fear Him & delivers them.
And another Angel came & stood before the alter, having a golden censer.
And there was given to him much incense
That he might offer it with the prayers of all the saints
Upon the golden alter which is before the Throne.
THE ANGEL
AYYUBH-UM, (in his enthusiasm ecstatically accosts a stranger a young girl whom
haps by just thenii)
THE STRANGER, (who has been struggling to wrest her free from Ayyubh-ums grip)
Behind me & before me, you hem me in & rest your hand upon me!
A SHADOW (gathering together from within dark shadows having the form of a man
yet, empty of substance)
Ayyubh-um & all the others except the two Arch-Angels, cower in fear
Trembling together & shivering within their skins. The young girl melts away.
THE SHADOW
complex of ethical and moral principles that controls or inhibits the actions or thoughts of an individual: an
inhibiting sense of what is prudent in all reason and fairness.
At once, they all attempt to flee each in his own direction towards his own
home.
AYYUBH-UM
He Bringeth down to the Grave & bringeth up Blest is HE who doth bring up through the womb
A man may come down to Sheol in illness & be raised up again when he recovers
My Soul was full of troubles & my Life drew nigh unto Sheol:
The Nadir of Physical Exhaustion;
The point Trouble Cannot Press without Destroying Life itself.

[Wikipedia]: The Ancient Egyptians believed that a human soul was made up of five parts: the Ren, the
Ba, the Ka, the Sheut, and the Ib. In addition to these components of the soul there was the human body
(called the ha, occasionally a plural haw, meaning approximately sum of bodily parts). The other souls
were aakhu, khaibut, and khat.
An important part of the Egyptian soul was thought to be the Ib (jb), or heart. The Ib or
metaphysical heart was believed to be formed from one drop of blood from the childs mothers heart, taken
at conception. To Ancient Egyptians, it was the heart and not the brain that was the seat of emotion,
thought, will and intention. The key to the afterlife, it was conceived as surviving death in the nether
world, where it gave evidence for, or against, its possessor. The heart was examined by Anubis and the
deities during the Weighing of the Heart ceremony. If the heart weighed more than the feather of Maat, it
was immediately consumed by the monster Ammit.
A persons shadow, Sheut (wt in Egyptian), was always present. It was believed that a person
could not exist without a shadow, nor a shadow without a person, therefore, Egyptians surmised that a
shadow contained something of the person it represents. For this reason statues of people and deities were
sometimes referred to as their shadows.
Sheol is not the abode of the After-Life, but of the dead!
THE ONE TRUE GOD The Shadow, now a Black Flame appearing as at the Heart of a
Great Sparkling Fire
INESS will Love you & will come unto you & dwell with you.
You shall come unto INESS that I may abide with you for ever.
If you would have known ME ye wouldst have known of the One True God, also.
I it Am & the One True God the ONE & whosoever hath seen ME hath known Life.
Believe in ME that I it Am in the One True God & the One True God is within ME.
Otherwise Believe because of MY Works.
As a part of the soul, a persons ren (rn name') was given to them at birth and the Egyptians
believed that it would live for as long as that name was spoken.
The Ba (b3) is everything that makes an individual unique, similar to the notion of
personality. Like a soul, the Ba is an aspect of a person that the Egyptians believed would live after the
body died, and it is sometimes depicted as a human-headed bird flying out of the tomb to join with the Ka
in the afterlife.
The Ka (k3) was the Egyptian concept of spiritual essence, that which distinguishes the difference
between a living and a dead person, with death occurring when the ka left the body. The Egyptians
believed that Khnum created the bodies of children on a potters wheel and inserted them into their
mothers bodies. Depending on the region, Egyptians believed that Heket or Meskhenet was the creator of
each persons Ka, breathing it into them at the instant of their birth as the part of their soul that made them
be alive.
The Akh (3 meaning (magically) effective one), was associated with thought, but not as an
action of the mind; rather, it was intellect as a living entity. The Akh also played a role in the afterlife.
Following the death of the Khat, the Ba and Ka were reunited to reanimate the Akh.
For MY LOVE consists in this:
If you love Me & keep My Word & fulfill the Spirit of the Law
Then at My bequest I Shall Love you & whosoever
Keeps My Commandments that you have from Me,
Is the person who loves Me & the one that loves Me
Shall be Loved by Me. Sal-amn. Blest I it Am
So how can you say in yine heart show me the One True God that I might believe, too.
THE ARCH-ANGEL RAPHAEL, (whom also is floating above the ground speaking to
Ayyubh-um & Uzit)
At that day ye shalt know, strothe, that I it Am the ONE TRUE GOD & I it Am in you.
If you loved ME ye shouldst rejoice because I have said, I go unto the One True God.
For the One True God is greater than I.
THE ONE TRUE GOD Now, flames alone, licking at the heavens as A Voice
Withdraws from His Complete Manifestation as a Man
To the Likeness of a Great Sun in the Heavens; speaking
A VOICE (Speaking to the three friends in their flight & to Danel-ihu, too)
Take you Seven Bullocks & Seven Rams & go to My Servant Ayyubh-um,
And in solemnity build Seven Alters
He shall offer
For a holocaust the Seven Bullocks & the Seven Rams without blemish...
Make a Burnt Offering
For yourselves & Ayyubh-um,
And My Servant will pray for you
For you have not told the truth of ME as did Ayyubh-um, My Servant.
So Eliphaz the Themanite & Apil Adadi-ilu & Tzophar the Naamathite went &
did as Commanded them;
And, also, they accepted Ayyubh-um.
Rebuked by the One True God, they asked Ayyubh-um to Pray for them
And, his prayer was the Daily Bread of Forgiveness of Sin;
And, the Flame of his self-sacrifice pierced the clouds
That separated the Worlds & reached into the Heart of the One True God.
Thereupon the One True God loosed the Sin for them,
Through Ayyubh-um - & lifted up Ayyubh-ums face & turned
His captivity under the enemy Satan & the Accuser

[Wikipedia]: Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. it is almost twice as bright as Canopus, the next
brightest star. The name Sirius is derived from the Ancient Greek Seirios (scorcher). What the
naked eye perceives as a single star is actually a binary star system, consisting of a white main sequence
star of spectral type A1V, termed Sirius A, and a faint white dwarf companion of spectral type DA2, termed
Sirius B. Sirius appears bright because of both its intrinsic luminosity and its proximity to Earth.
Sirius is also known colloquially as the Dog Star, reflecting its prominence in its constellation,
Canis Major (Big Dog).
THE SAINTS - VICTORIOUS
AYYUBH-UM
AYYUBH-UM ( )
So, Ayyubh-um died Old & Satisfied & being Full of Days
A skylark wounded in the wing, The princes robes and beggars rags
A cherubim does cease to sing. Are toadstools on the misers bags.
The game-cock clipt and armd for fight A truth thats told with bad intent
Does the rising sun affright. Beats all the lies you can invent.
The babe that weeps the rod beneath If the sun and moon should doubt,
Writes revenge in realms of death. Theyd immediately go out.
The beggars rags, fluttering in air, To be in a passion you good may do,
Does to rags the heavens tear. But no good if a passion is in you.
The soldier, armd with sword and gun, The whore and gambler, by the state
Palsied strikes the summers sun. Licensed, build that nations fate.
The poor mans farthing is worth more The harlots cry from street to street
Than all the gold on Africs shore. Shall weave old Englands winding-
sheet.
One mite wrung from the labrers hands
Shall buy and sell the misers lands; The winners shout, the losers curse,
Or, if protected from on high, Dance before dead Englands hearse.
Does that whole nation sell and buy.
Every night and every morn
He who mocks the infants faith Some to misery are born,
Shall be mockd in age and death. Every morn and every night
He who shall teach the child to doubt Some are born to sweet delight.
The rotting grave shall neer get out.
Some are born to sweet delight,
He who respects the infants faith Some are born to endless night.
Triumphs over hell and death.
The childs toys and the old mans We are led to believe a lie
reasons When we see not thro the eye,
Are the fruits of the two seasons. Which was born in a night to perish in a
night,
The questioner, who sits so sly, When the soul slept in beams of light.
Shall never know how to reply.
He who replies to words of doubt God appears, and God is light,
Doth put the light of knowledge out. To those poor souls who dwell in night;
But does a human form display
The strongest poison ever known To those who dwell in realms of day.
Came from Caesars laurel crown.
Nought can deform the human race
Like to the armours iron brace.
On the terrace surmounting the tower which was his royal residence, King David, while walking
about one day, allowed his glance to rest upon a spectacle that seduced his heart the house of Uriah:
(That valiant soldier who had been given up to certain death in order that his royal masters passion might
adulterate/rape the mans wife.) To the King thus miserably fallen, however, the Lord sent His prophet
Nathan; and these walls of the tower were the first to hear that touching allegory of the poor mans ewe-
lamb.
There were two men in one city,--the one rich and the other poor.
The rich man had exceeding many sheep and oxen. And the poor man had nothing at all but
one little ewe-lamb, which he had bought and nourished up; and which had grown up in his house
together with his children, eating of his bread, and drinking of his cup, and sleeping in his bosom: and
it was unto him as a daughter.
And when a certain stranger was come to the rich man, he spared to take of his own sheep and
oxen, to make a feast for that stranger who was come to him; but took the poor mans ewe and dressed
it for the man that was come to him.
And Davids anger being exceedingly kindled against that man, he said to Nathan: As the Lord
liveth, the man that hath done this is a child of death. He shall restore the ewe fourfold; because he
did this thing and had no pity.
And Nathan said to David: Thou art the man.
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus was written in 1818 by Mary Shelley. A reflection of her time, it
warns of the dangers of mankinds technological evolution during the Industrial Revolution. Mary Shelley was born in
London in 1797: She was raised only by her father, as her mother died shortly after giving birth to her. In 1812 she was sent
to Scotland to live with William Baxter and his daughters. It was there, with the large estate and countryside, which she
developed her writing and decided she wanted to be an author.
[Wikipedia]: The anima and animus in Carl Jungs school of analytical psychology are the two primary
anthropomorphic archetypes of the unconscious mind, as opposed to both the theriomorphic and inferior-
function of the shadow archetypes, as well as the abstract symbol sets that formulate the archetype of the Self.
The anima and animus are described by Jung as elements of the collective unconscious, a domain of the
unconscious that transcends the personal psyche. In the unconscious of the male, it finds expression as a
feminine inner personality: anima; equivalently, in the unconscious of the female, it is expressed as a masculine
inner personality: animus.
It can be identified as the totality of the unconscious feminine psychological qualities that a male
possesses; or the masculine ones possessed by the female. The anima is an archetype of the collective
unconscious and not an aggregate of a mans mother, sisters, aunts, and teachers though these aspects of the
personal unconscious can influence for good or ill the person.
Because sensitivity is often repressed, the anima is one of the most significant autonomous complexes of all. It
manifests itself by appearing as figures in dreams as well as by influencing a mans interactions with women and
his attitudes toward them, and vice versa for females and the animus. Jung said that the encounter with the
shadow is the apprentice-piece in the individuals development... that with the anima is the masterpiece. Jung
viewed the anima process as being one of the sources of creative ability.
