Fallen into a bit of a grapejuice hole this morning and been reading from the beginning. Much simpler writing in the early blogs. Lots of very interesting bits, but this paragraph from
one about the 2012 Olympics has caught my eye, given the odd synchronicity in timing with current events:
"There could also be a relation between Dante's trip through the underworld and the voyage of Sirius through the Duat. Dante's journey is set to exactly match the three days that Christ visited and conquered Hell. It also takes place from Good Friday to Easter Sunday. According to the Bible, Christ compared the time he would soon spend in the underworld with the three days that Jonah spent in the belly of the whale. Each of these involves an underworld ordeal lasting three days."
