While inside the cocoon
a caterpillar
struggles and grows
struggles and grows
struggles and grows
till the time comes
to slip out the cocoon
spread her wings
and fly away
as a butterfly

It is such a substantial physical change. It puts me in a state of awe everytime. I wonder what sort of mental and spiritual changes take place in the cocoon?? It must take a great deal of energy for them. (Maybe that's why they eat so dang much beforehand)

 

[maremaria]

I see cocoon as the womb and the lavra as the fetus and that is why this metamorphosis looks very 3 to me. I can not think of a growth without any kind of struggle. Another name I have for 3 is be-coming

He's used a clever verse per change line.

 

[maremaria]

never heard of him before but looking at his work seems to me a very interesting approach and a sharp mind .

 

[meng]

I don't refer often but when I do he sure seems to get the fundamental idea across, and usually ties it together in a proper contextual story. Gives me the impression that he understood well the nature of things.

 

[maremaria]

indeed !

I liked (at 8) how he talks about the foundations of an union with just two words "first examine"

Thanks for sharing. I think i'm going to reference him

I have been missing this forum I got a second job but didn't want anyone to think I am ingoring them. I am going to be doing the rest of the images, just slower I guess. And with it being springtime, I probably won't be at the computer as much. Hope you all are well.

I was said that Crowley didn't know any chinese and that he inspired freely in Legge, but is curious that the the name of hexagram 8, 比 bi3 METAPHOR / COMPARISON, is used for a word that designates female genitals.

About 屄 bi1, meaning VAGINA, Schuessler says that the word could be old "since such items are not mentioned in classical texts".

Of course, all the hexagrams having the trigram KUN are for Crowley YONI.

What the devil...?: Aleister Crowley

Hedge fund manager linked to Satanism shock! It is an arresting headline, and I think I can make it work, courtesy of Jonathan Allum, of KBC Financial Products, and his regular e-mail. Patrick Degorce, former French naval officer and the co-founder, along with Christopher Hohn, of The Children’s Investment Fund, has just re-emerged with his new hedge fund Theleme Partners. Degorce famously wrote the letter to ABN Amro that thrust the bank into the arms of Royal Bank of Scotland. Allum has been mulling over the name of his new vehicle. It is generally reckoned to refer to the Abbey of Theleme in Gargantua, by the 16th-century writer Rabelais, a utopia where the only rule was “Fay Ce Voudras”, or “Do What You Will”. This was taken up by the 18th-century rake and alleged Satanist Sir Francis Dashwood, and thence by Aleister Crowley, a genuine Satanist and nasty piece of work, who founded the Abbey of Thelema (sic) in Sicily where his adherents did, indeed, do pretty much what they wanted until Mussolini kicked them out in 1923. “Which has, I am sure, nothing to do with Mr Degorce’s hedge fund”, Allum writes hurriedly.

Maria, what happened to your images?

[maremaria]

Maria, what happened to your images?

I'm organizing (... :bag:... ) my chaotic photobucket files.. Will replace them this weekend...

 

[maremaria]

what is that in your image ? is it an instrument ?

 

[meng]

No and I almost deleted it because I or a friend did not take the photo, I realized later. But it is an amp I am negotiating trading for: the internal power amplifier, or the guts; old fashioned point to point, no pc boards, vacuum tube powered, military and audiophile grade guitar amp.

Also thought that maybe others might want to post associative images, even if they aren't original? This thread has slowed to a crawl; that might open it up.

 

[maremaria]

I'm sorry but I lack of technical knowledge of what exactly an amp is and this is why I can't make any association with 7. Is it like the General of the army, or the "army" itself ?

 

[meng]

An amp is what you plug an electric guitar into to amplify the sound. When it's turned off it's power goes underground, you could say. When it's powered up, it's a well organized and coordinated powerful unit. I'd say the general would be the Master Volume, or possibly the big output tubes, but even more so it would be the guitar player who controls the amp's power, volume and tone.

 

[maremaria]

Nothing new. Just replacing the photos I had to delete ...
