@BramacharyaMen And one would additionally observe the fact that the "Infant Zeus" appears linked likewise if one considers what the Omphalos stone was supposed to so closely resemble
@BramacharyaMen What is particularly interesting if one considers it is sthe ... how to say ... 'God of the Pillar' element that shows up in both - ref. not only the obvious viz. Dionysus, but of course, as applies Delphi in particular - Apollo (consider numismatic evidence esp.)
'I am inclined to think that the loss of reverence for the gods will also mean the decline of honesty and the social union of mankind, and ultimately, the queen of all virtues: justice.'
- Cicero, On the Nature of the Gods, 2.3.
The desolation in these shots reminds you this is a single player game. Makes for a contemplative experience when it's not cluttered with NPCs and busywork side content. An isolated house or vehicle make you wonder ''what is the story behind this?''.
Ainda há quem vá insistir que os EUA são Roma? Os EUA sempre foram Cartago e só poderiam ser Cartago desde que se entenda a importância sobrepujante da dualidade Terra/Mar.
Kṛṣṇa diz:
“Eu sou o princípio, o meio e o fim de todos os seres; sou o Sol radiante; entre os Maruts, sou Marīci; e entre as estrelas, sou a Lua.
De todas as árvores, sou a figueira-de-bengala.
Eu sou a morte que tudo devora e sou o princípio encarregado de gerar tudo o que vai existir.
Fique sabendo que todas as criações opulentas, belas e gloriosas emanam de uma mera centelha do Meu esplendor.
Com um simples fragmento de Mim mesmo, Eu penetro e sustento todo este Universo.”
— Bhagavad Gītā 10.20–21, 10.26, 10.34, 10.41–42
I believe there is an inverse correlation between sunning your gonads and the time left in the Kali Yuga
The more nude hours spent in the sun the quicker we enter Satya Yuga
Miguel Serrano speaks about this
"A única arma que temos para enfrentar a máquina moderna do inimigo é a jihad e o amor à morte. O espírito se enriquece com o amor à morte [...] Corpos mutilados, esqueletos, terrorismo [...] palavras tão belas!"
Abu Musab al-Suri
“Japan was to be married, not to Hitler, but to the German forests; not to Mussolini, but to the Roman pantheon. It was a pact joining German, Roman, and Japanese mythology: a friendship among the beautiful, masculine, pagan gods of East and West.”
— Yukio Mishima, The Temple of Dawn
"Zeus, therefore, is the whole world, animal of animals, and God of Gods; but Zeus, that is, inasmuch as he is the mind from which he brings forth all things, and by his thoughts creates them. When the theologians had explained the nature of God in this manner, to make an image such as their description indicated was neither possible, nor, if any one thought of it, could he show the look of life, and intelligence, and forethought by the figure of a sphere.
But they have made the representation of Zeus in human form, because mind was that according to which he wrought, and by generative laws brought all things to completion; and he is seated, as indicating the steadfastness of his power: and his upper parts are bare, because he is manifested in the intellectual and the heavenly parts of the world; but his feet are clothed, because he is invisible in the things that lie hidden below. And he holds his sceptre in his left hand, because most close to that side of the body dwells the heart, the most commanding and intelligent organ: for the creative mind is the sovereign of the world. And in his right hand he holds forth either an eagle, because he is master of the Gods who traverse the air, as the eagle is master of the birds that fly aloft - or a victory, because he is himself victorious over all things."
-Porphyry, "On Images"
Literally, yes. See my various works upon the subject viz. Classical.
A Corvid shows up to provide a message to the Hero Jason, for instance. FROM HERA.
