Why do I capitalize all references to You on this blog?
It's my way of paying You respect as the wonderful, beautiful Beings that You are -- the best work of God and nature.

like a bottle,
but rather, like wood,
it only requires kindling
to create in it an impulse
to think independently
and an ardent desire for the truth."

looking forward to watching a doco on the decline of the egyptian empire. when i was at jewish dayschool, we learnt all about the exodus of jews from slavery in egypt...and somebody mentioned that their system fell shortly after the slaves rebelled. so it'll be interesting to hear what the rest of the story was!
anyway commented on a bunch of your other posts. you've been furiously blogging. but i do read em even if i dont get a chance to comment on all. keep it up! great photos everywhere too!
Thanks, Lance.
nice thought ecd...btw..am i the youngest in the blog for the love of woman?
Yek: Probably. A smart man never asks a Lady Her age.
But do not let that hold You back from posting there. You are among friends who respect You and who appreciate Your contributions.
To any of the other regular readers of Isis: FLOW is not a closed society or a clique. If You want to be part, please feel welcome. Just let me know.
interesting thought.
Hmmmm still chewing on it.
Ok, I'm an idiot but I have no idea what a "symbolic formation" is. I looked it up in Google and am still not clearer....
sigh....
Now it would be nice to know the symbolics of a ritual bath.
I like quotations, because they make you think.
On other hand, I think that they are taken ouf of concept, when a speech is shorten to such a small version.
Ancient Egypt sounds so mysterious and draw people like a spell.
I wanted to say, I like quotations because they make ME think.
It was definitely a chewy quote. I must be careful or poor Opus will get arrested again. (Inside joke for LGS and his blog-readership.)
As best as I could understand it, the author seems to indicate that the same ritual could have multiple symbolic meanings.
Immersion of the king in water symbolized purification, rebirth and exaltation as well as union with the gods.
Great immersion. Must feel incredible!
The ancient salon and spa treatment, perhaps.
