S*-ing to Power **** S is for Sign, * is for Use. S*, as in S*-ing, is for SLINGING THE SHLONG AGAINST PHILOSOPHICAL AND OTHER ABUSE (Let S* be verse, picture, symbology, rant, whatever talks eternal, American, now) The world is ready and waiting for what we can do here. As John Calvin put it, differently, "It's up to you."

Red-Heads and Rosslyns

Red-Heads and Rosslyns

PART I. REDS

Reds tend to be anti-good.


Genesis 24.22 “But the children struggled together within her (Rebekah, Isaac’s wife), and she said “If all is well, why am I like this?...And the Lord said unto her “Two nations are in your womb, …when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over, so they called his name Esau.”


Plutarch records that Typhon (*Python, Seth, Sith), killer of his brother Osiris. “had red hair and in colour resembled an ass”.

The Merovingian kings of southern France were an exceptional breed of redheads. They were good, though, not anti-good -- except to medieval Catholicism, which had Dagobert II murdered, according to accepted history..

SEEING INTO OUR SEEING HERE

THE ORIGIN OF THE GODS IN SIGN-USE

-Only here. These connections cannot be found anywhere else. (Will acknowledge, qualify or retract any claim shown to be wrong.)

The Greek historian believed Osiris, Typhon, Isis (whom he associates with the Dog-Star, Sirius) and Horus (whom he associates with Orion) were “demi-gods” – giants and Titans – who were “translated” into “Gods”, who had to be purely good as the mixed god-man beings were not. “She herself (Isis) and Osiris, translated for their virtues from good demigods into gods, as wee Heracles and Dionysius later, not incongruously enjoy double honors, both those of gods and those of demigods, and their powers extend everywhere, but are greatest in the regions above the earth and beneath the earth.” (part 2, par. 27) What he means by “translation” is spelled out. It consists in taking Isis’ act in reviving Osiris as also “a lesson in godliness and an encouragement for men and women who find themselves in the clutch of like calamities.” As psychosemiotic process, this is a “doubling” of text x token in sign-use, converting the name of special objects into names of the qualities or latencies that make them ‘special’ -- mostly reactive associations on the token (subjective) side (not in the object). The same process occurs in the phrases “Lord of Lords”, “Marduk of Destinies”, “goodness of the good”, “Form of Forms”, Idea of ideas”, and so forth. The name of the great Egyptian Goddess, then, translates the feeling ‘Isis’ evokes in imagination, to the sense of ‘Her’ presence as a grace. She’s half-way to deity. Re-projected, as if the Isis qualities emanated from a source of their own, worshipped on Mother’s Day, “Goddess” She becomes. Re-projected again, onto the surreally beautiful star Sirius, brightest star in the early morning sky, hanging just above the horizon under Orion, with Betelguesse and Rigel matching brilliances. The rising sun returning from its winter regions in the south, the sun will soon burst over the horizion at the equinox point, with the Nile river’s re-vivifying flood on it way, momentarily aligning Sirius, the Son, the 30th parallel and the Great Pyramic comples at Ghiza.

This second re-projection is the objective astronomical basis of the notion of “Sun of the Sun”. The condensed, super-focused celestial star-light, represented by Isis, is “in”, “behind”, “through” the Sun-light (also Osiris, as Apis Bull sacrificed as Memphis) at this Holy season. Plutarch says explicitly: “the vessel which the Greeks call Argo (space vehicle), in form like the ship of Osiris, has been set up among the constellations in his honour, and its course lies not far from that of Orion and the Dog-star; of these the Egyuptians believe that one is sacred to Horus and the other to Isis.” Now: the double relation signified by “Sun in the Sun” – Isis in Osiris/Sirius in Sol – is shown to have an objective correlation it could be said to “stand for”, or “represent”. The otherwise puzzling, if not bizarre parts of the narrative become intelligible through the symbology of this. The “Eye of Horus”, singlemost prominent single sign in the Pyamid Texts, becomes “what watches us the closest illuminating orb from afar, with higher, greater, deeper love for ‘us’. It is what was born of dead Osiris, killed and dismembered into 13 pieces by Seth, and Isis his sister, who found, bound, completed with a phallus made of sycamore wood, and with the help of Thoth (“Hermes”) impregnated herself with Horus. His, then, by this lineage, would have been the Eye watching and guiding the Pharaos and priests with relentless Order.

The objective notion of “Sun in the Sun” can be flipped over to “Sight in the Seeing-eye”; as the finer degree of light in Sirius is in Sols harsh, hot glare, so consciousness of seeing is in the eye seeing sky. This is a completion loop conjoining objective and subjective ‘doubles’ through sign-use (the names, with comments on their use). Knowledge of the connection of both sides is a second-level, psychosemiotic meta-loop. Conjoining the double doubles, as if one original plan, or intelligence, shaped both the objective content and the way it would be communicated to human beings goes beyond, back behind, the notions of propositional truth in alphabetic languages. In terms of formal geometry, a figure representing time as the fourth dimension of space as scripted on tablets in TokenSpace, called the tesseract, and drawn with intersecting up-down pointing equilateral triangles, is the figure that shows this pre-conceptual formal connection.

The powers of of Isis and Osiris, the above quote says, “extend everywhere, but are greatest in the regions above the earth and beneath the earth.” The “regions beneath the earth” are singled out as being taken literally, not just symbolically. “Morever, among the Egyptians many other proper names are real words; for example, that place beneath the earth, to which they believe tht souls depart after the end of this life, they call Amenthes, the name signifying “the one who gives and receives.” But on the token side (!) it is oh so much more. It is a dead-ringer for “Amenti” as in “The Halls of Amenti”, Bk. II of the Emerald Tablets of Thoth.

The Halls of Amenti
Deep in Earth's heart lie the Halls of Amenti,
far 'neath the islands of sunken Atlantis,
Halls of the Dead and halls of the living,
bathed in the fire of the infinite ALL.
Far in a past time, lost in the space time,
the Children of Light looked down on the world.
Seeing the children of men in their bondage,
bound by the force that came from beyond.
Knew they that only by freedom from bondage
could man ever rise from the Earth to the Sun.
Down they descended and created bodies,
taking the semblance of men as their own.
The Masters of everything said after their forming:
"We are they who were formed from the space-dust,
partaking of life from the infinite ALL;
living in the world as children of men,
like and yet unlike the children of men."


It appears that Plutarch is ignorant of the Alexandrian Hermetic material in which this connection is made. Thoth is called “Hermes” in the narrative myth, and virtually ignored, even though he was trans-regional, known as Ningishzidda in Sumer and Babylon, assisting the olden god Ninurta construct the still extant 7-step Gudea ziggarut pyramid in the Iraq’s Girsu of present day Iraq (circa 2200 b.c.) Greek jealousy of Egyptian superiority in astronomy may be showing here, for Thoth was very much linked with the linkage of heaven and earth, having “come (=materialized?) from” the star Rigel, in Orion. (Rigel, Regal, Rigalia) He is also the one from Atlantis who was sent, before it sank, to colonize the upper Nile and begin human civilization. If Egyptian Amenthes is the Emerald Tablets’ Amenti, as seems almost certain, the question of the reality of these underground Halls, from which poured powers destructive of life on earth, assumes not just theological but metaphysical importance. Grammar could be shaped to give proper logical “true or false?” representation that permanently seals off the two parts of the tesseract from ever combining. At this point it can be said that if the “Hermes Trismegistus” recognized in Alexandria is “Thrice Great” because it is Henmes/Thoth “born” on earth on the three occasions of Atlantis, ancient Egypt, and Sumerian events connection heaven-earth (“ENDURANKI”, sacred precinct Kish where kingship was bestowed on humanity by ENLIL/NINURTA votaries).

Thothic communication begin with The Emerald Tablets. A single system in a single historical narrative unfolds there. Connections made in a few simple words bear astronomical import. For a human intellect seeking to understand its origins, they supply “the other side.” All this had been completed before the next Trinity was announced. In TokenSpace, its advent was in Bethlehem, near ancient Jerusalem. Many centuries pass before the two Trinities, with their older and newer Octaves of penetration, will meet again as objective knowledge in Boethius’ Quadriviuum.
