@JMGreerWriter In my personal searching I have found that the historical accuracy of theological figures is less important than the cultural impact that the figure actively imparts.
If an entity is real enough to have a tangible effect in reality, then it's real enough for me.

@Gnosisinformant I used to think about this a lot and I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter.
Fictional or not, the story provides a deep and meaningful spiritual framework for individuals to interact with and the figure of Jesus as an egregore has an observable effect in our world.

[Katharsios Press @katharsiospress]

Katharsios (Καθάρσios) is a hidden name of Zeus/Jupiter that means “the purifier” and is a name that is invoked to eradicate miasma (or spiritual pollution) from an individual, so that they can get closer to the godhead.

37 And Jesus said to him,
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,
and with all your soul,
and with all your mind.”

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like it:
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

40 On these two commandments
hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Matthew 22:37–40, Textus Receptus, ed. Robertus Stephanus (Paris: 1550).

Matthew 22:37–40 (Greek – Textus Receptus, Stephanus 1550)

37 ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ·
Ἀγαπήσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ καρδίᾳ σου,
καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ψυχῇ σου,
καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ διανοίᾳ σου.

38 αὕτη ἐστὶν ἡ πρώτη καὶ μεγάλη ἐντολή.

39 δευτέρα δὲ ὁμοία αὐτῇ·
Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.

40 ἐν ταύταις ταῖς δυσὶν ἐντολαῖς
ὅλος ὁ νόμος καὶ οἱ προφῆται κρέμανται.

If we were to collectively start treating language with more reverence, perhaps our words could regain their true power.

What we see in the image isn’t the photons themselves (they’re too small), but their wave-like correlations, a direct imprint of their entangled relationship.
The “yin-yang” pattern is the visual proof of that entanglement.

[Michael Sound @MichaelSound222]

In 2019, a team of physicists at the University of Glasgow were able to capture this amazing image of entangled photons.

[Michael Sound @MichaelSound222]

A highly sensitive CCD camera capable of detecting single photons records the spatial correlation pattern of the entangled photons.
Unlike a normal camera, this device can “see” individual photon hits and build up the full image over time.
