Aeon418
Remember that most of the old aeon solar/HGA archetypes are weighed down with a lot of baggage that just isn't compatible with the new aeon ethic of self-actualization. If you still want to use the existing "visible objects of worship" they need a bit of a Horus-style make over.Always Wondering said:I suppose my Christian upbringing, though rejected long ago, left me holding Christ completely divorced from myself and HGA.
In the case of Jesus it's his eyes, his perspective or view point, that is attacked. The Christian cult is based on the glorification of suffering and self-sacrifice. This spiritual perspective just isn't compatible with the new aeon, so it has to go. Indeed, it's a theme that has ceased to be relevant to increasing numbers of people in todays world.51. With my Hawk's head I peck at the eyes of Jesus as he hangs upon the cross.
52. I flap my wings in the face of Mohammed & blind him.
53. With my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist, Mongol and Din.
It's interesting to note that many of the new Christian denominations that are emerging are choosing to focus on the resurrected Jesus as opposed to the traditional hanging corpse. And the message they are preaching is more tolerant and accepting than the usual shame and guilt stuff that the Catholics have perfected to a fine art.
Or how about the rift in the Anglican church? The moderate anglicans realize that they must embrace change and move with the times if they are to survive. (In essence this mean rejecting some of their own scriptures.) The traditionalists see these changes as blasphemy and more proof of the wicked times in which we live. Their answer is to retreat into fundamentalism and rigid dogma.
