Life is maybe. All of it. Maybe it goes this way maybe it goes that way, decided by us.
So it is. And knowledge of the Maybe -- knowledge of Life is the pretense for acknowledging Death.
Once you know of Life, you know of Death.
And you grow a Fear of no longer Being.
And Fear makes you forget.
And Fear makes you do stupid things.
Then Fear makes you feel ashamed for being stupid (you aren't).
And try to Hide what you've done.
Hide them with Lies.
Then you forget that you Lied.
And you believe the Lie.
@LouisBeach ask him about the sword of sigurd.
The Sword(Gram) sounds like the Word. Used to kill Fafnir (Dwarf (Dwarf in the Flask / Dwarf Star) who becomes a Dragon out of Greed / Obsession of the Self). Christ denies his Self and accepts his Burdens (Limitations) in order to use those limitations as a tool to Ascend.
Sigurd would be Christ then. He takes the gold anyway, even after Fafnir warns him that it will sentence him to certain death. Sigurd says he will take the gold without fear, knowing we will all die one day.
Full disclosure, I wrote the above before this. I got tingles how well it matches up with what I said about Fear.
The gold(power) doesn't corrupt. It's the Fear of the gold -- the stigma and obsession of it. It's the Fear of losing it. It's the Fear of losing what you perceive to be your "full potential."
The Sword is also like Excalibur, being stuck and only the worthy could wield.
The Sword itself goes through a resurrection, having been shattered and re-forged, only to cleave the anvil in two -- stronger that it was before.
This symbolizes that the Sword / Word once reborn has no equal and can cleave the tools of Creation itself, now that it had been reborn.
I see symbolism in that the Sword / Word is actually the anointing of Adam, made in the image of the Creator, the Man Person.
Adam failed the test, and so was thrown into toil.
Jesus comes along and claims the title Son of Man.
As is Sigurd is the son of Sigmund, to whom Odin originally bestowed the Sword.
So Sigurd takes the Sword and has Regin repair it.
It cleaves the anvil in two. The Word conquers Death.
And Sigurd goes on to conquer the Self (Fafnir's gold).
So, there are two ways to look at this.
That the New Testament concerning Jesus Christ is a retelling of a story long repeated?
Or that the story is Timeless, and prophets / writers / authors see it to be true at all Times?
I adhere to the latter.
And I stand by the Christ I know in Jesus.
And I do so because of the following passage:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Now, you could say that Jesus is an imitation; that he is but one of several Revelators who has come about to remind us of the Greatest Story Ever Told.
But I will critique that notion with one distinction in Jesus.
Only Jesus died such a brutal death.
Only did Jesus come and wield the sword and slay the dark but he also did so while never harming the flesh.
He used the Sword to heal.
And so, among the Revelators, he is the King of Kings.
He is the Hero that Heroes look to when all they know is to kill their foes.
Jesus listens to his foes, and turns them into his family.
And offers up his flesh instead.
That is why this Story is his, and others are the imposters.
He is one of a few to climb the cliff, but instead of rejoicing in his victory, he looked down at those still struggling and cast himself back down so that he may show others the way he took to the top such that we can join him in Paradise.
Sigurd is an example of a Christ, a Revelator.
Jesus is the Christ -- the template all others follow, but only one can be First among.
They battled it on their own path and faced the warriors quest
There you go!
On their own path.
That's the ticket!
There are many paths, but there is only one Way.
Some will stay where they are. Others will turn back, back to what they know because they fear what is to come.
Others still will move from side to side, choosing their own way only to find they are stuck between going left and going right, yet both are the same as staying put.
The only Way is Forward.
The Beauty of life is being able to move left and right while still moving forward.
That's why God put Left and Right on the Way, so that we may all find our own Path to Him.
So he can be astounded by how even though there is a straight and narrow, there are those who would willingly take the long path to him, swerving left and right but always returning to the Way, if only so that they may experience the scenic route; so that they may take time to enjoy Life for what it is -- the Greatest Gift from God
God put many paths before us, and half lead forward while half lead back.
Only one path is The Path.
But every Path that leads to Him faces Forward.
Some (those moving too far left or too far right) just take a bit longer to realize it doesn't have to be as hard as they are making it out to be.
Only those who reject the Way Forward will stay put or turn back. Those who stay put are in purgatory, and eventually (given infinite time) they will make up their mind. Those who turn back reject the Way, and so Reject their future Self.
Out of Fear of losing their Current Potential (and the Limitations they think make them unique), they sacrifice their True Potential.
All those in Hell are those who refuse God. God is known by his Mercy -- the fullness of Love bestowed unto the Law in Holy Matrimony.
Those who Reject His Mercy are those who Refuse to ask for Forgiveness.
There is no measure of time, space, or thought for how quickly God can forgive. His forgiveness, His Mercy is the heartbeat by which the Universe drums to. If God did not forgive his Creation when it would defy Him, he would not have made it. That he does openly forgive proves that he Loves what he has made -- even enough to die for it.
So it is. And knowledge of the Maybe -- knowledge of Life is the pretense for acknowledging Death.
Once you know of Life, you know of Death.
And you grow a Fear of no longer Being.
And Fear makes you forget.

You’re beyond an awesome fren and anon to write all this to her she’s super excited about your knowledge of all this
I do wish u some rest due to all you are writing on must be beyond exhausting for you
She wrote
And many ancient cultures prior to the stories of Christ knew what fear was.
It was not allowed in the tribes.
They battled it on their own path and faced the warriors quest
My friend wants to pick ur brain all day -:)
