they are definitely trying to keep the wheel from turning. It becomes obvious when one looks at what they are so desperate to hide, doesn't it?
Shoveling in an inaccurate zodiac, along with some garbage signs. hiding the relationship between those signs and the houses. dodging the importance of the mid-age apex that they also feel required to commemorate (think Jonah and King Arthur).
But, beyond that, one must consider their constant persecution of any version of a religion that acknowledges a good/evil balance. the crusades that were fought on the european continent were to remove this, and so were many of their other persecutions. those that remain were impossible to remove--the Tao, and Hindu religion as a whole. so, they try to obscure things as best they can instead. nevermind that other axis that deserves consideration....
"Nevermind that other axis that deserves consideration."
I am reminded of "The greatest trick the Devil ever played was convincing us he doesn't exist."
Sounds like you should write a post on this.
Not sure of the significance of Jonah and King Arthur in this context. Jonah is in the belly of the whale, which in the Aramaic seems interchangeable with "large fish". King Arthur is related to the Fisher King. All of it inside the Age of Pisces. Is this what you mean?
Tao does have the idea of Yin and Yang, but neither are presented as EVIL, so perhaps that might be why the Tao "gets a pass". Hindu has so many gods and permutations that I doubt even they can keep it all straight, let alone me. But in any case, I feel that their "Good v Evil" is actually not really there, and is instead a three-way affair, with Create (Brahma). Preserve (Vishnu), and Destroy (Shiva). And their "Destroy" is not "to lay waste". It is more like "Destroy, to Build", as what God told Jeremiah to do.
"See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”
No EVIL, there. At least to my eye.
as for jonah and arthur, halfway thru an age they start talking about the incoming age. jonah is halfway thru ares--talking about pisces and being in the belly of a big fish for three days. arthur parks right around the middle of the age of pisces, but he is on a quest for the cup.
tao gets a pass because they have a hard time moving the chinese people. hindu religion is far more cohesive at its root than you are led to believe--they are very interested in what it looks like at each level, and this has been used to foster misunderstanding. as to those other differences, that is that other axis we have ignored in play.
evil is trying to stop the cycle.
Thank you. Good thoughts to consider.
