According to Plutarch, there was a statue of Isis in Sais, Egypt, which was inscribed with : "I am all that has been and is and shall be; and no one has ever lifted my veil and lived." https://image.nostr.build/3e52f1adfb0872ec35ec412d0b56d309453aecfaa7ebbd202d0f79d6ffbf9230.jpg Egyptian statue. Maybe its Isis ; maybe not. Exodus 33:20 But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” Maybe its related ; maybe not. Here's tarot trump # 2, the high priestess. It has the two pillars, same as the temple, a woman with overflowing robes, and a veil. The pomegranates on the veil represent fecundity, which is more than the biological fecund and is more like Grace, and *might* be the fruit of the tree of knowledge. https://image.nostr.build/abb2a8bd81694709e909e53ffa7b40c9888718b44a0d20e03d7abbee20fe33e7.jpg Maybe it's related ; maybe not. In Wagner's "Parsifal", a dramatic musical reenactment of the story of king Arthur, the king Amfortas forgot that he and the land are one, and thus brought a curse upon his land. The land is symbolic of the material nature of reality ; "he" and his kingship are symbolic of the spiritual nature of reality - the two are one because "oneness" is the essence of being. In fact, the material is the spiritual, but that's only apparent when you see Grace. The land can be equated with the priestess's flowing robes in the tarot card above. https://image.nostr.build/d98dd8cb65948f932dbe61999d3a3925c99d313a89f3f250971f023357cd9651.jpg Maybe its related ; oh f it, its related. #art #tarot #symbols

Yeah I saw your post with the broken wall. Was going to comment something like, "I just realized you are probably responding to my notes at like 3am" but I got sidetracked. But here works! Be the animal... Dirt and meat and satisfaction... I mean, responsibly, of course...

yeah, the mind doesn't have energy without the body it's really making a difference... maybe soon i will start to see other things start to improve finally i know one thing for sure, i've almost beaten the peripheral neuropathy and muscle weakness

the beef, of course i also observed this with goat but it wasn't nearly as tasty... if i could get my hands on a goat hind quarters and cut it up just right it would probably be equally good... the thing is what they feed em on, pretty sure this beef is grass fed, and the goats just prefer ... well, not even just grass, but whatever is poking out of the ground

If there's a middle eastern grocery store nearby, look for goat tongues there. Tongue - beef or goat - is surprisingly good. I'd trust the quality of goat meat more than beef because beef is often basically mass produced and fed corn, which is usually GMO/pesticide stuff.

possibly maybe there could be one such shop on this whole island but it's really not a big place... 300k people live here, last time i lived in a place this many people was Novi Sad and that isn't exactly a big place either anyway, i can actually get whole goats if i ask around, the bigger problem i have is finding someone who knows how to cut them up properly
