Part One Part Two

Back to the JQ after a temporary hiatus.¹ Old Homo Serpiens text in bold.

1^st Matrix narratives say the Bible is the Word of God and the Jews are—or at least were—the chosen people, making the Old Testament valid in all ways, albeit subservient to the New Testament “update” (except as a land claim for Palestine, as which it remains mysteriously dominant). 2^nd Matrix narratives have the Hebrew Bible as a blueprint for geopolitical sociopathy, a craven work of aggrandizer agitprop. To allow for the truth of both perspectives, not only to co-exist but to be complementary, requires a far, far deeper reading, historically, theologically, metaphysically, psychologically, and literarily.

Cunningly Devised Fables

“Nay, I had not known sin but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.” —Romans, 7:7²

Aeolus said:

Myths and legends and allegories, symboliques and “cunningly devised fables” (Peter II, 1:16). Stories of war and sacrifice, of twins and gods and virgins and serpents and demons and gardens and couplings and births, all meant for the discerning eye and the imaginative mind. But the eye that is blind remains in darkness; studying the shadows, it draws its own conclusions.
