Dragons

[Tiassa]

I figured to have some fun with this:

Dragons

Thought is the shadow of the eclipse of Luna.

Samadhi is the shadow of the eclipse of Sol.

The moon and the earth are the non-ego and the ego: the Sun is THAT.

Both eclipses are darkness; both are exceeding rare; the Universe itself is Light.

This is the thirty-seventh Lie of Perdurabo, and is explained, as follows, by Frater Perdurabo himself:

Dragons are in the East supposed to cause eclipses by devouring the luminaries.

There may be some significance in the chapter number, which is that of Jechidah, the highest unity of the soul.

In this chapter, the idea is given that all limitation and evil is an exceedingly rare accident; there can be no night in the whole of the Solar System, except in rare spots, where the shadow of a planet is cast by itself. It is a serious misfortune that we happen to live in a tiny corner of the system, where darkness reaches such a high figure as 50 per cent.

The same is true of moral and spiritual conditions.

Just a little snack for thought.

thanx,
Tiassa

Poll Error

Correction: There is an error in the poll options. Caviar is erroneously listed as Psalm 9. It is appropriately numbered Psalm 6. This error is a simple mistake on my part; because two of Perdurabo's Lies are unnumbered, and the numbered Lies start with zero, there is a difference between the numbered Psalm and its URL of three. Thus, Psalm 6 is 9.html, Psalm 21 is 24.html, Psalm 37 is 40.html, and so forth. Caviar is the Sixth Lie of Perdurabo, or, Psalm 6.

What is even more embarrassing is that I chose Caviar offhandedly, building the poll quickly. I opened each Lie to make sure of its URL, and then went forward. Caviar is a bit more convoluted than I had intended to present, but oh, well.

The one I probably should have put in there is Onion-Peelings, Psalm 14.)

apologies,
Tiassa

(PS: Perhaps it is a bit basic to some that I should point this out, but being that people have missed when I'm hyperlinking pages on prior occasions, the appropriate Psalm or Lie for each poll option is buried under a hyperlink. Just click. Oh, and there you will also see Caviar appropriately numbered.)

I think dragons are cool.
Thanks for the snack.
