Re: Ruach & Roll

[Guest guest]

Greetings Jung-Fire friends,

It seems my last transmission didn't make it past Solar/Magnetic storm flare

surge that is now code red on the charts on both Sol and Terra. Guess ol

Abraxas is just showing off his plumage again. Ha! Then again it could just

as well be some technical difficulties I'm still experiencing with the PC

causing a conflict in my mouse and modem when I'm online. If I don't play

with the mouse, I get kicked offline.

The current topic of Ruach, is interesting in this cosmic activity as well.

In Celestial Chessworks, the figure of the Bishop is associated with the

Greek term for Spirit or " Pneuma " which has a Greek gematric value of 576 or

24sq. The figure of the Rook in the design is associated with the Hebraic or

actually Sanskrit term " Ruach " . which although similar in meaning to the

Greek, actually they represent two different aspects of the same thing. In

the opening paragraph of my work on this figure which resembles a Trident

Spear of all things, is found this passage. " The Oxford Companion to Chess

gives the etymology of the name Rook from the Sanskrit name 'Ratha " -Chariot

and the Persian and Arabic name " Rukh " . And in the hermetic traditions, the

term " Ruah " , a variant to Rua(ch) is another name for the Soul.

The two terms Spirit and Soul are as interlinked as say the force of Fire

which animates the atmosphere to create Wind. In conjunction to this

phenomena, we have the Solar flares currently affecting the Earth's

atmosphere and are already formulating what expects to be a very hectic year

for hurricane force wind storms in the Atlantic this year. Talk about some

serious circumnambulations,, hey Muse,,you might want to ease off the

throttle a bit or else yer liable to have a whole Mob of Mortified Mormons

firing up Fylfots on yer front lawn. Ha!

In other tangents, I went to the corner video store the other day to check

out Muse's reference to the movie Bowfinger starring Steve and Eddie

to get the plot of it. Sitting next to it in the row was a sole copy

of another video entitled of all things,, " The Muse " , starring Sharon Stone,

which looked a lot more interesting but it was rented at the time. Drat! Now

what all these tangents have in common is any one's guess, but it follows my

own current investigations very nicely. Good to be back in business again

following a quarter of a year's absence with the group. Looks like I've

missed out on some real good discussions but that can be remedied.

Take care to all,

Dail
