"William Blake's statement in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
'Eternity is in love with the productions of time' is an adumbration
of the paradoxology of the game of hide-and-seek that Non-duality
is playing with and in celebration of itself in Ia divina commedia of
this night of its dream."

"The number 9, that is to say, relates traditionally
to the Great Goddess of Many Names (Devi,
Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Artemis, Venus, etc.)
as matrix of the cosmic process, whether in the
macrocosm or in a microcosmic field of manifestation."

This post was suggested by a book title in
the previous post: "Pieces of the Action."
A group action is a mathematical concept.

"In ancient Greece, 9 was the number of
the Muses, patron goddesses of the arts.
They were the daughters of Mnemosyne ('memory'),
the source of imagination, which in turn is
the carrier of archetypal, elementary ideas to
artistic realization in the field of space-time."

Review of Joseph Campbell's The Inner Reaches of Outer Space—
The reviewer compares Campbell to "one of those guys who
builds his own church out of hub caps."
A simple hub cap — see ninefold in this journal.

From Robert A. Heinlein’s Glory Road (1963): Her face turned thoughtful. “Would you like to call me ‘Ettarre’?” “Is that one of your names?” “It is much like one of them, allowing for different spelling and accent. Or it could be ‘Esther’ just as closely. Or ‘Aster.’ Or even ‘Estrellita.’ “ ” ‘Aster,’ ” I repeated. “Star. Lucky Star!” |
