@thebuz just to be cute: if we’re playing Blackjack, the 10s and King win easily when paired with an Ace. Put all of them together tho…that’s a 23 at best. Dealer breaks.

@thebuz Phaedo especially stands out to me as worth looking at. It’s the dialogue being delivered in “Death of Socrates,” and deals with the mortal, destructible nature of the human body and the Soul as it’s indestructible opposite. The soul is immortal. While a human can starve, sicken, and die; the soul carries on.

Haven’t we said that in…[Read more]

@thebuz funnily enough, Socrates was sentenced to die for corrupting the youth particularly by introducing “strange gods.”

@pandace88 there’s many versions of this one, many with the servant ready to catch the head in a sack to carry it away, and some with the servant actively participating in the beheading.

Thanks Kort; I’ll add these to our imgur site.

This is an Old Testament story of Assyrian general Holofornes coming to destroy Judith’s hometown. She appeals to Holofernes’ desire for her and enters his tent, where he falls asleep after drinking too much. Judith (with the aid of her maidservant) cuts off his head.

@mistere Funny you should mention that because I’m working on putting that together right now. I’ll link here when I’m through.

Morphing?

Morgan this is scary.

@meghanmayhem there also looks to be a contrast between Satanism and Duskism when we consider how we are being called upon to “submit.” There seems to be “His” overarching Will that would superceed our own.

The intersections of love, will, the construct of man, nature as chaos, freeing oneself from the guilt of sin because sin itself is a falsehood. This has been right in front of us. You can’t see the forest for the trees.

@theladyj the moon in the photo is a waxing crescent, which is tonight’s phase, and also the last two days of the month.

It’s the human condition. A struggle between the head and the heart.

I agree with your overall assessment @thebuz but let’s add that despite her ability to remove emotion in certain situations, Sarah’s proven through her contact with some of us, including you, that she is disguising her vulnerability with her brashness.

They’re far more suited to compliment the finer, more cunning aspects of each other than even…[Read more]

I was thinking signs pointed to transmutation if Anoch himself into a vessel that carries his bloodline. Would certainly be a step up from Tension, from my understanding.
