"The Emasculation of Man"
The world goes by loudly emasculated man sees nothing for what it’s worth ignorant and pumelling chests gorilla armies neanderthals small brained with closed fists power hungry greed-fuelled knowing all blind to the supernatural natural course of an ending beginning all around man something unseen is being birthed transitioning silently like a hunter territorial, teething, suckling on us all, it is sharpening its claws deaf ears turn blind eyes on tolling church bells while soft paws tread virtual, warm velvet vulgate all around us, watching every move we make, reading closed unopened scientific minds, waiting, we never hear it knocking at our door it parades around us soundlessly hungrily counting and calculating the hundred thousand 144 (LadyLabyrinth / 2020) vcb-llb-gvlm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicene_Creed

About Lions: “I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept. I was the lion who gave the horses the new strength of fear for the last mill so that you should reach King Lune in time. And I was the lion you do not remember who pushed the boat in which you lay, a child near death, so that it came to shore where a man sat, wakeful at midnight, to receive you.” C.S. Lewis “The speed of him was like the ostrich, and his size was an elephant's; his hair was like pure gold and the brightness of his eyes like gold that is liquid in the furnace. He was more terrible than the Flaming Mountain of Lagour, and in beauty he surpassed all that is in the world even as the rose in bloom surpasses the dust of the desert.” C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle “They say Aslan is on the move- perhaps has already landed." And now a very curious thing happened. None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different. Perhaps it has sometimes happened to you in a dream that someone says something which you don't understand but in the dream it feels as if it has some enormous meaning- either a terrifying one which turns the whole dream into a nightmare or else a lovely meaning too lovely to put into words, which makes the dream so beautiful that you remember it all your life and are always wishing you could get into that dream again. It was like that now. At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of summer.” C.S. Lewis,The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe “It isn't Narnia, you know," sobbed Lucy. "It's you. We shan't meet you there. And how can we live, never meeting you?" "But you shall meet me, dear one," said Aslan. "Are -are you there too, Sir?" said Edmund. "I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.” C.S. Lewis “Lucy buried her head in his mane to hide from his face. But there must have been some magic in his mane. She could feel lion-strength going into her. Quite suddenly she sat up. "I'm sorry, Aslan," she said. "I'm ready now." "Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed.” C.S. Lewis, Will the others see you too?" asked Lucy. "Certainly not at first," said Aslan. "Later on, it depends." "But they won’t believe me!" said Lucy. "It doesn’t matter.” C.S. Lewis “The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it.” Daniel 7:4 Daniel 7:1-28 1.

"Belief comes before Faith. All abstract knowledge is based on belief. Faith is related to belief because it supplies the conviction that the belief is true."

"Faith, derived from Latin fides and Old French feid, is confidence or trust in a person, thing, or concept. ... Religious people often think of faith as confidence based on a perceived degree of warrant, while others who are more skeptical of religion tend to think of faith as simply belief without evidence."

"In monotheistic thought, God is conceived of as the supreme being, creator deity, and principal object of faith. God is usually conceived as being omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), omnipresent (all-present) and omnibenevolent (all-good) as well as having an eternal and necessary existence. These attributes are used either in way of analogy or are taken literally. God is most often held to be incorporeal (immaterial).Incorporeality and corporeality of God are related to conceptions of transcendence (being outside nature) and immanence (being in nature) of God, with positions of synthesis such as the "immanent transcendence".

and through the wars the few will stand strong higher than their eggs lost in the battles below and it is then the gates will open and we will live in euphoria

CS Lewis - exceptional mind and imagination, stunning and eerie, an addictive combination. Well worth taking the time to read all of his stories, fictional and non-fictional. Of Irish extraction. I was reading this morning he was introduced to Yeats, the Irish Laureate. I would have loved to have sat in at that conversation; apparently a clash of ideologies; although in his early days Lewis dabbled for a short while in escoteric "theism", as did Yeats (however, leaning towards spirituality and the occult). Both writers immersed their writing to a large extent using christian theme in their concepts. Yeats often used Christian themes in his poetry, but that was not the only religion that influenced his work.
