The Lady Odin's Lair

There's so much more to Judas than we have been led to believe.  It's where dark meets light. It's where someone agrees to be the fall guy, the scapegoat, for a greater good. It's about anti-heroes. Now ... who else do we know who is like this? “In the Gospel of Judas, Jesus teaches people about the kinship they have with God and about how to live according to the moral order of the universe established by God. People, Jesus says, have spiritual resources within them beyond what they know. He explains this message by telling Judas about the nature of the universe--that another realm exists beyond the material world, and an immortal holy race above the mortal human race. If people can understand this reality, they can fulfill their highest nature and understand how they should live now.  He explains that human beings were created following the divine image of the heavenly First Man, Adamas. To honor this divine image in people, God sent divine spirits to everyone, giving...

This, what has now become an iconic exchange, is from the Sense8 series, 10th episode, first season: Jonas Maliki: Watch a flock of birds or a shoal of fish move as one and you glimpse where we came from. Ask how aspen trees feel trauma hundreds of miles apart, or how a mushroom can understand the needs of a forest you'd begin to grasp what we are. Our kind has been here since the beginning. In all likelihood, we were the beginning. What I want is to make sure we're there at the end. Will Gorski: If there's another species of Homo sapien, how can it be a secret? Jonas Maliki: Secrets are important to their species. Secrets are the center of their identities, of their societies. Secrets maintain their hierarchies. To reveal this secret, that there is another kind of human, one whose existence threatens the very foundation of their reality... No, they'll never allow that. Jonas Maliki: What is human? An ability to reason? To imagine? To love or grieve? If so, we are m...

One of the more famous and illustrious of these Merovingian descendants is said to have been Guillaume of Orange (Guillaume of Gellone), an 8th century contemporary of King Charlemagne and King Louis ( Fig 4.8 ).  So if the Merovingians were indeed descended from the biblical family, then perhaps there should have been something very special about Guillaume of Orange, their direct descendant . As we shall see, that may well have been so. Ellis, Ralph. Mary Magdalene: Princess of Orange (Egyptian Testament Book 7) (Kindle Locations 2156-2159). Edfu Books. Kindle Edition. This Orange business is niggling at me, so I've been trawling my memory for hooks and keywords that I can follow up with. Boom! Mary Magdalene is involved. Ralph Ellis has written some works on the connection between Mary Magdalene and William of Orange ... the colour is being utilised to speak to those 'in the know'. Mary Magdalene founded the royal Dutch house of Orange? Is this an all-fool’s-day joke? Act...

Word of the Day: ORANS (also ORANTE) One who pleads/prays (Lat., lit. “praying”), the name given to the early Christian posture of prayer. Orans , a loanword from Medieval Latin orans (Latin: [ˈoː.raːns]) translated as "one who is praying or pleading", also  orant  or  orante , as well as  lifting up holy hands , is a posture or bodily attitude of prayer, usually standing. Orans was common in early Sumerian cultures: "...it appears that Sumerian people might have a statue carved to represent themselves and do their worshipping for them—in their place, as a stand in. An inscription on one such statue translates, 'It offers prayers.' Another inscription says, 'Statue, say unto my king (god)..."

I'm highly comfortable with ambiguity and paradoxes. I don't need to be right. Or to feel special. Or to feel needed. Shadow Work done and dusted in these regards. I know I'm being played. I know I have no chance in hell of understanding all the dynamics in motion. I know I'm being played. And it's with my consent. I choose who I allow to play me.  You see ... It's quite like Shakespeare, or whoever wrote as him, described ... "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts." As You Like It, Act II Scene VII Line 139 My REAL self is my immortal Soul. I AM eternal.  And like an actor, I am a performer in my dances with incarnations into various realities. And I scan for roles to audition for. Not just ANY old roles, mind you. But ones that interest me, amuse me, challenge me ... depending on my disposition at the time of choosing.  And it's no...

Many people, including me, find Michael Tsarion to be somewhat of an enigma. He is a very private person despite his dogmatic conclusions about esoteric topics. He deflects any attention to himself, providing only the vaguest allusions to his background, and turns it to his work. His I couldn't give a rat's arse attitude to gaining approval from others is refreshing in this attention-seeking world we're currently in. His body of knowledge is methodical, well researched, and of high scholarly standard, without the academic sense of self-importance. He is a layman's scholar, making high level ideas accessible to the general public ... for those with ears to hear. And while I don't fully agree with everything he discusses, he's certainly expanded my horizons, intellectually AND metaphysically. He is, in my book, to be highly respected for his scholarship. So I went on an online dig to see what I could unearth about him. His lineage explains his strong metaphysica...
