The terror of a cometary impact is very real and has occurred on earth in the apst, and within recorded history. The end of the pre-Egyptian civilsation may have led to the creattion of the Sphix asa reminder of that past - a truly comsic terrorist from the skies.<BR/><BR/>See Hancock's book THE MARS MYSTERY as one useful introduction to this enigma.<BR/><BR/>A great visionary poem that speaks from the past fot the future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-89952140322502397202008-10-11T08:57:00.000-07:002008-10-11T08:57:00.000-07:00Hi Lormarie,you are correct - at one level it is a...Hi Lormarie,<BR/><BR/>you are correct - at one level it is about Islam as a 'lion of the desert' that sleeps in the sands of centuries then awakens to Jihad, but it also about many other meanings that man projects upon the sphinx and how the sphinx itself defines its own meaning as the 'Lion Of The Desert' and the Father Of Terror.<BR/><BR/>The lines of the silver jambiya, an arab knife, relate to how the treasures of the past, such as the beauty in Islam, are plundered by thieves such as radical imams for their own political purposes. <BR/><BR/>The poem describes how an adept of the line of ancient mysteries can even today penetgrate its veils amd mysteries and seek deeper meanings from its secrets.<BR/><BR/>The links with the Druids is a reference to scientific thories of Proffessor Alexander Thom and Dr. Robert Lomas who believes that the Megalithic Yard was invented in the Orkney Islands in Maes Howe off Scotland by a Celtic priesthood as a sacred measurement and that this measurement was then transported across Europe into the East and was used as the basis of measurement of the Pyramids. <BR/><BR/>Type in 'Island Brain Behind the Pyramids' and a bbc NEWS REPORT WILL POP UP AS A LINK ON GOOGLE. <BR/><BR/>This is how I link Menw The Aged, the creator diety of the Druids, with the ancient Egyptians and also via the ancient mystery schools where Druids are known to have travelled into India and Egypt. <BR/><BR/>Today in order to enter the sphinx this has to be done in vision, as the secret gate into the sphinx is blocked by the 'roman rocks' which is based on the actual archeology that the front legs of the sphinx are roman additions and hide a secret door to inner chambers within the sphinx that have secret records of the future hidden in them.<BR/><BR/>The vision of the future that the adept gains is, ironically, the apocalypse happening right now.<BR/><BR/>This means that the sphinx is about to roar and death from the sky come to earth - which is the what the sphinx actually means. It was designed to scare off something that was going to come to earth from the sky and destroy the planet.<BR/><BR/>The legend states that at the end of the world, the shinx will roar at the sky.Defender of Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093052197059748663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680771968888528726.post-88633682389200859132008-10-11T06:48:00.000-07:002008-10-11T06:48:00.000-07:00"I am Abu al-hol, the Father of Terror,"The diffic..."I am Abu al-hol, the Father of Terror,"<BR/><BR/>The difficulty with poetry is figuring out "the interpretation" or lesson to be learned. At least that's the case with me. Upon reading the above, my mind runs to terrorism as I know it. That being Islamic extremism. In other words, the Arabic speaker=the father of terrorism today. Not saying it's right or wrong. Just saying that with poetry, more so than any other type of literature, the reader can pick up a message unintended by the writer. Then again, maybe my interpretation is correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
