Or at the very least closed your eyes and not of digested it.. going to take a break then return to go back and look at all the art 🤓 you are a fascinating human to me.. thanks for sharing what you do.. oh also the Isis Sophia link to Jesus?? Shit I forgot.. I’m curious about it.. but will clarify my question after I reread the text .. whatever I read I had not heard before.. I enjoy these worlds blended as I was raised Catholic.. spent about the last 9 years learning about the Goddesses.. anyways I’m going on here.. Happy Easter!!

Haha - oh no! I really appreciate you ‘pulling a card’ - that’s your art and connection and I respect that. Thank you for the compliments.

I’m much more interested in peoples’ experience with the divine and in working with ways to connect than in dogma. My mom’s side of the family were Irish Catholics from the Bronx - so I’m familiar with the interesting connection these types have where they often live two lives - where the outer life includes church, ‘religious observance’ etc.. and then they often have a completely separate inner life which usually has a rebellious tinge to it.

The ‘Isis-Sophia’ question is the question of our age, I think. One of the themes that I’m most interested in introducing and exploring here on Substack is the question of “Church Christianity” versus ‘Esoteric Christianity.’ There’s great antagonism here! Church-goers are usually terrified of direct spiritual experience and freak out if anything moves them out of their comfort zone of faith. The “Estoeric Christians” usually suffer and take up something like mushroom trips or Paganism because they feel rejected from the culture that works with Biblical concepts.

But yes, in my mind “Isis-Sophia” is literally the third element of the Trinity - literally the “Holy Spirit.” I think much of work that the Catholic Church has done is to reject the ‘esoteric element’ in favor of the organizing principal of congregation and hierarchy.

You are genius.. after perusing the graphics from this folio (pre reading this reply) I was very much pondering my personal experience with the Isis-Sophia ,, Holy Ghost connection.. the trinity.. God as not separate from us.. etc.. 🤓 way too much to ever begin to converse about via “comment section” .. your picture with the kind of rustic gate? Archway? Looks just like the four of wands card 🔥 excellent imagery .. thought provoking text! Super cute comic! Love the stamps ✨✨ Happy Easter! 🐣 also you are a great musician! Great vibe 🙃🙂

Well thank you so much!

These profound thoughts you're having seem very appropriate for this Easter Sunday -

And thanks for pointing out the resemblance of the gate to the card - I really like that image :-)

Profound 🙂🙂 just a regular Sunday up in this bitch 🤣🤓 agreed with the Easter theme .. def adds a layer to a string 🐣🐣 also yay with the Tara song / poem? I’m a huge Gone With The Wind fan girl(books not movie) .. minus the slavery (obvs) 🏞️ hope you’re having a great morning? Assuming you read this when you wake up 🙂🙂

Ah ha! The internet is good for some things - within seconds I've found (I think) the connection you're making between book and song (oh, not a poem for sure - I've only been guilty of that maybe once in my life) "Tara" is the name of the plantation featured in the book. Yes, surely this is referencing the same place. And I think St. Patrick would agree with you about 'minus the slavery' - having been a slave himself to Tara's High King.

Folio one on Easter day, perfect. so glad to be out of wands and into cups.

I have an odd unrelated thing to share with you. You told me Steiner said that during the time of Atlantis, the air environment was very different, more like water. This got me thinking. That would indicate that Atlantis existed in a vapor canopy time period. This means it was a post cataclysm/Phoenix civilization. If that is the case, then what actually destroyed it - the Phoenix had already passed, and created the vapor canopy? It must have been destroyed by a unique, specific cataclysm, catalyzed by a faction of people dwelling there. If not, is it possible that the cyclic cataclysms come both at the beginning and end of the vapor canopy/ice age cycles?

Thanks for your thoughts. Steiner and Scott-Elliot said that the Lemurian period ended in a cataclysm of fire (volcanoes and warring higher beings). The Atlantean period was one dominated by the power of the ‘life-force’ represented by water. The crisis of Atlantis came from the abuse of this power (mostly carried in plant seeds, but in the later period crystals too). The cataclysm of the Atlantean period was a combination of warring Atlantean wizards and pissed-off elemental beings. The ice age followed the cataclysm and our new world, dominated by matter, arose out of that

So the volcanic cataclysm at the end of the Lemurian period caused the vapor canopy, which created the Atlantian atmosphere. Then the Atlantian man made cataclysm caused the ice age. That proves a cataclysm of different qualities at both ends of a time period, unless you consider Lemuria and Atlantis to be two completely separate time periods. I was under the impression there was overlap between them.

The conundrum I’m exploring is that hard core cataclysm theorists believe the phenomenon always creates a vapor canopy, but it doesn’t appear to be so. Something else must keep causing the ice ages at the other end.

I don't mean to be anal about this or anything. I'm just exploring it and concerned with it now because I really feel we're at the precipice of another one of these events occurring, and I'm trying to understand.

Anyway, Jackie and Shadow eagles have new eaglets on Easter, and that makes the entirety of creation smile.

I’ve only ready Steiner’s and Scott-Elliot’s take on Lemuria and Atlantis. Steiner is really frustrating when he talks about it because he tends to focus entirely on the evolution and conditions of human consciousness rather than the more interesting things like flying ships, laser beams, giants etc… Scott-Elliot’s book is called “Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria” and he gets down to the good stuff. Both of these guys however say that Lemuria and Atlantis were distinct Epochs - that our modern bodies could not survive in Atlantean conditions and Atlanteans would not have been able to survive in Lemuria. So I’m not sure what ‘other people are saying about it’ but many people seem to have strong memories of Atlantis - yourself included, and seem to be doing good work in this area. I think it’s especially important now in that many say were are recapitulating the Atlantean crisis on the physical level as opposed to the ‘etheric.’
