v915 /tenth book /
"...,and unwitting have
offended,unhappily decieved ;thy suppliant I
beg and clasp thy
knees ;bereave me not ,whereon I live ,thy gentile
looks ,thy
aid ,thy council in this uttermost distress,my
only strength
and stay."
v.990/ "...That
after life , must be at last food
for so foul a monster ,in thy power it
lies ,yet,....ere
conception to prevent ,THE RACE UNBLEST,to be
yet ,unbegot."
"Childless
thou art,childless remaine:so Death shall
be decieved,his gut,and with us two be forced
to satify his
rav'nous maw." (Idea from ECCLESIASTES,that
all is vanity and
loss;that Shroud Imagry itself is product of pain and torment./
v.833 "...,first
and last ,on me ,me only ,as the source
and spring of all coruption,all the blame 'lights
due; (&) so
might the wrath."(OF GOD) /again,
rememberance and self(image)
via extreme violence./
v.1015 / "...,self-destruction therefore sought
,refutes that excellence thought in thee ,and
implies ,not thy
contempt ,but anguish and regret for lose
of life .."/ "Doubt
not ,but that God hath wiselier armed his
vengeful ire ,than
so to be forestalled ;..."/
v.1095 /
"Undoubtedly,he will relent and turn from
his displeasure ;in whose look serene ,WHEN ANGRY
MOST ,HE SEEMED
AND MOST SEVERE ,WHAT ELSE BUT FAVOUR ,GRACE
AND MERCY SHONE?"/
v.1065 / "...,while the winds blow moist and
keen ,shattering the graceful locks of these
fair spreading
Trees ;which bids us seek some better shroud,some
better warmth
to cherish ,our limbs benumbed .."/Is
the Turin Shroud a warning
to take shelter,.in the Earth Itself as did the Hopi ,a new
end and beginning ;a new sort of Ark , as in the film ,"IMPACT"...?/
Indeed,no few times ,the idea has hit me ,paralized
military at the door ,a bright morning light
atop the door of
Joseph's tomb;a heavy door that would withstand
blast or most
anything ;AS WITH THE GREAT PYRAMID ,OVER
BUILT TO WITHSTAND
TIME AND EVEN WAR.
Indirectly
,even the survival of the Turin Shroud
for so long a time ,is in part due to defencive walls ,ie,
the Massive walls of Edessa ,where in ,it is reported ,said
cloth was hiden over the city-gate ,in a sealed jar.If any
country is not prepared for modern war ,it is the USA. Indeed,it
is beyond amazing that any number of our cities haven't already
been the targets of smuggled devices. Cash hungrey Russian
mobsters have no compuntion in dealing in
mega-tons.Ironically,back even as late as the
1920s , Russian
Armies marched under the flag of the Eddesa-Cloth,
manifestly,the
partually folded Turin Shroud. /
v.1070 /book ten /Paradise Lost ,continued,
"...,limbs benumbed,ere this diurnal Star
leave cold the
night,how we ,his gathered beams reflected ,MAY
WITH MATTER
SERE(DRY) FOMENT ,OR BY COLLISION OF TWO
BODIES GRIND THE AIR
ATTRITE (BY FRICTION) TO FIRE ,AS LATE
THE CLOUDS ,JUSTLING
OR PUSHT WITH WINDS ,rude in their shock (&
IGNITE) tine the
slant lightning ,whose thwart flame ,driven down
,kindles..."/
The above text speaks clearly of remote-viewing
of the
targeted resurrection ;the firey nature of the Shroud imagry
and the unconsious realization that the techtonic-plates of
this globe are ever active ,grinding out violent outbursts
of heat ,motion and ,yes, light./ "BY COLLISION OF TWO
BODIES....G R I N D ." (Perhaps the quake of Joseph's
lavish
tomb and the door thereof ,being like a huge millstone,are not
so much seperate ideas ,but one of a larger reality;note also
the name Bethlehem(house-of-bread).
Mark 16 / "Who
will roll away the stone for us from
the door of the tomb? (....)..,they saw that
the stone was rolled
back --it was very large." /
St. Matthew 28 / "And behold ,there was a great
earthquake;for the angel of the Lord decended
from heaven and
came and rolled back the stone..."/ "And two
men(half/half shroud
imagry)stood by them in dazzling apparel...."/(Source
of the
idea of the two witnesses of revelations(ie...photo imagry ,front
and back). / "Why seek ye the living
among the dead(static/."/
----------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------Book
11 of
Paradise Lost ,by Milton /---------------------------------
--------------------------- verse one / "Thus
,they in lowest
plight ,repentant stood."/ Shroud imagry
of Jesus is indeed
of a man in his "LOWEST STATE.
"Grace decending,had removed the stoney (armors of
Rome) from their hearts ,and made new flesh regenerate
grow.."/
a form of re-birth ,a new life /
verse
50 / "..,eject himtainted now ,and purge him
off as a disteper(....)..,and ofthe incorrupt,
corrupted."/
"....That know no gross ,no
unharmonious mixture foul,EJECT
HIM...TAINTED..."/ tomb coverings .
v.212/ "A glorious apprition ,had not doubt and
carnal fear that day dimmed Adam's eye."/
Again,idea of
imperfection ;as with the second Adam,somehow a doctrine has
grown up that Jesus was somehow nonhuman and immune to all
our foibles;indeed, if the comparrison is taken any distance
at all , JESUS' SHROUD IMAGE IS AS MUCH A WORK
OF CHAOS AND
DARK,AS OF ANYONE'S GENIOUS. How can I
say this? One hint of
his true feelings and trepidations toward the death on the
cross,and what followed, reread his supposed words ,in the olive
garden,the night he was betrayed. He seemingly was being drawn
forward by the crush of events,and when the world
was totally
shut out by hewn stone ,his healing powers were
set to perhaps
this self-same task and one more ,a cloth
seed of faith,from
which have grown up many ......"/Only 1950 years later,is the
processes and the violence thereof ,dimly understood./
verse xi/240
/ "...;and the arch-angel soon drew nigh
,not in his shape celestrial,but as Man
,clad to meet Man;over
his lucid (bright) arms,a military vest ,of purple
flowed(....)...,his starry helm ,unbuckled(....),by
his side
,as in the glistering zodiac ,hung the sword,Satan's
dire
dread,and in his hand ,the spear."/ fairly
good "HIT" ,as remote
-viewers say;these items and more were heaped upon Yeshua ,in
his hours of weakness.
v.320/
"This most affects me,that departing hence
,as from his face ,I SHALL BE HID,DEPRIVED(of)his
blessed
counttt'nance;here I could frequent with worship
,place by place
,where he vouchsafed presence divine ,..."/
Indeed ,if "HIS" visage and
that which God is a part
of ,and actively interested in,HEAVEN AND PARADISE;then that
which is the other ,as with the reflective coverings of war
(vs. the life-energies of creation) ,then indeed ,war and all
it's trappings are as an American general once said ,"WAR IS
ALL HELL." /
v.460 / "Alas,both for the deed and for the
cause!
But have I now seen Death? Is this the way that
I must return
to native dust O SIGHT OF TERROR,FOUL AND UGLY
TO BEHOLD, HORRID
TO THINK ,HOW HORRIBLE..."/ "DEATH
THOU HAST SEEN INHIS SHAPE
ON MAN;BUT MANY SHAPES OF DEATH (TOMB
COVERINGS "upon" MAN-Seed
of Woman(Eve/Mary) and many are the ways that
lead to his grim
cave,all dismal;yet to sense more terrible at
the entrance ,than
within."/ What is this bit of wisdom getting
at? I would think
that the seeing of the death strook coming is devestating to
any id and ego ,nursed so long on the teet of delusion. Perhaps
that is just the reason so many people are going off the deep-
end and running amuck...,the forfeiture of all hope in the light
of foreknowlege...,forknowing of oblivion ,on just too many
levels.
v.506/
"Can thus the image of God in man,created once
so goodly and erect,though faulty since ,to such
unsightly
sufferings ,be debas'tunder inhuman pains?WHY
SHOULD NOT
MAN,RETAINING STILL DEVINE SIMILITUDE IN PART
,FROM SUCH
DEFORMITIES BE FREE,and for his maker's image
sake,exempt?"
"Their maker's image ,answered Michael,"THEN
FORSOOK THEM
WHEN THEY VILIFIED TO SERVE UNGOVERNED APPITITE,and
took his
image whom they served,(to be),a brutish vice,inductive
mainly
to the sin of eve."/Turin
Shroud imagry ,largely give the
impression of one man ,taking on all the
sin and evils of the
world....,any leaving them in HELL(static/still
image,never
changing,forever the rememberance of the evils
men do ,under
God's
sun./////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////////////////////////// v.712 /
"He looked ,and saw
the face of things quite changed;the brazen throat
of war had
ceast of roar,all now turned to jollity and game,luxury
and
riot ,feast and dance."/ Much like the old prophets , the idea
of God being ignored by the mases is much agonized over./
v.764/ "O,Visions
ill foreseen! BETTER I HAD LIVED
IGNORANT OF THE FUTURE...(...),dispenst the burden
of many ages
,on me(alight) (all) at once,BY MY FOREKNOWLEDGE
, ,gaining
birth abortive,to torment me ere their being..."/
It is widely
spoken ,though whom to credit the words ,I know not ,that man
is the one animal ,that most knows of his own
mortality(DEATH);other takes on the subject=== / "For
by man
,death entered the world." / "For
in much knowledge ,also
there is much sorrow."/Many psycics call
their "gift"...,at
times ,a curse ,for seeing the end of all things laid out before
your second-sight ,leaves on at times adrift in the wreckage
,anchorless and vunrable .
v.795 / "The conquored also ,and enslaved by
war,shall with their freedom lost all virtue
lose,(....);one
man exempt,the only Son of Light,in a dark age,..."/again
,note
the contrasting imagry of the tomb,LIFE REFLECTED BACK UNTO
ITSELF VIA THE HARSHNESS OF WAR./
V.825
/IDEA OF A COMING TIME THEN TO MEET ANOTHER
HUMAN IS A THING OF TERROR,a new psyce prevails ,eat or die
;kill your own kind ,and hunt them without mercy or second-
thought;devour the young to feed the self ; shot first ,and
talk latter:HELL,OR NEARLY SO.///////////////////////////////
"...,all fountains of the deep broke up ,shall
heave the ocean to usurp beyond all bounds ;till
inindation
rise above the highest hills(....),with all his
verdure spoiled
,and trees adrift ,down the great river."(OF
Death)
This ,as you might guess ,speaks to me in
aligory of the
very face of Christ,over-come by the muddy waves of
violence(rows of scales,a troubled sea....,that can never rest./
Same idea again/
"..repenting him of Man,depraved
,(that He was) grieved at his heart ,when looking down ,(AS
DID NARSISUS),HE SAW THE WHOLE EARTH FILLED WITH VIOLENCE,and
all flesh corrupting each their way;..."/
"What mean those coloured streaks in
Heaven,distended as the brow of God,appeased,..."/The
end of
all things seen in Christ ,the "head over all." /---------

Babylon,in his madness, Moses from the promised land ,Joseph
and Mary ,from before the infantiside of Herod./

"THE GATE (of paradise) ,with dreadful faces thronged

of "the sheepfold",
covered over in these wrathful imagries,like it would seen,
gate-keepers,or warning givers./ ---------------------------
