in my opinion, it is not -- but (Instead) an initiatory text
since this "idea" was lost long ago, the actual initiatory parts of the text were thrown out as not making "sense"
basically -- the walls were left standing but the electricity was shut off
also, once more, a tragedy
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
do we live, then die . . . or die first in order to live
does the snake run in circles or does the tail chase the snake ??
does "transformation" change us or do we simply wake up to what was there all along ??
riddles but truthful riddles
in an age of instant access, we tend to "forget" the mysteries were mysteries for a reason
there is no coming to consciousness without pain, or so Jung tells us
there is no also finding inner truth without Death; so says some wild child clairvoyant . .. and that, as Dr. Furter would tell us, is kind of a "tender subject"
madness has its privileges
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
there is a lot of wisdom lost, I believe, in only seeing and worshiping one God . . . the Thors, Balders, Neptunes, Enkidus and others from times past had lots to tell us
but we are too "sophisticated" now to listen
