Margaret Atwood , the eternal in myth, enochian keys

TOTEM

Myths can be refashioned to the present and with this I concur. But certain of them have hidden kernels and an eternality about them that spans the ages. Once discovered they have vast ripples in the waters.

Such was my comment on the blog. Myths are the footprints of civilizations with the lost keys that went defunct such as Atlantis , and the loss of the Enochian keys.some have picked up the traces and wrote of them: Plato and Bacon to my memory. Indigneous cultures are perhaps remnants of a powerful collective subconscious as such as once was and faintly reverberates in our time (SIC).

Atwood reinvents myth with an agenda in the present,it so seems, such as in her novella the Penelopiad:

The Penelopiad is a novella by Margaret
Atwood. It was published in 2005 as part of the
first set of books in the Canongate Myth Series where
contemporary authors rewrite ancient myths. In The Penelopiad, Penelope reminisces on the events
during the Odyssey, life in Hades, Odysseus, Helen, and her relationships with
her parents. A chorus of the twelve maids, whom
Odysseus believed were disloyal and whom Telemachus hanged, interrupt
Penelope's narrative to express their view on events. The maids' interludes use
a new genre each time, including a jump-rope rhyme, a lament, an idyll, a ballad, a lecture, a court trial
and several types of songs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Penelopiad While admittedly point of view and reminiscence itself on Odyssey events are done to form perspectives and insights on a narrative. The mythos itself is larger than a local set of perspectives or those of any one individual and is transcendent of their perspectives.Myths transfer beyond the present time frame and that is what defines them, gives them an aura of translucency for the human race.

Myths can't be translated as they did in their ancient soil. We can only
find our own meaning in our own time.

Marie Curie Discoery of the elements Pt II

No discovery occurs in a complete vacuum nor did Marie's. A woman displaying prowess? At that time a rare phenomenon but this was her project without question although grounded on the research of Becquerel who discovered radiation did not depend on external sources but arose apparently spontaneously from uranium. He discovered radioactivity.Marie further researched uranium rays and observed the following:

SOLVAY CONFERENCE We will be mentioning this conference later .Einstein and Curie attended this conference.

• she investigated samples by clever technique



• she used the electrometer previously invented by her brother



• the air around the sample conducted electricity



• activity of uranium compounds depended on uranium present



• and resulted not from interaction between molecules but from the atom



• she conducted systematic studies of 2 Uranium minerals pitchblende and torbernite four times as active as uranium itself and contained some other substance far more active than uranium



• this idea was originally her own and she established ownership of it.



• imagine here at this stage that a woman could formulate such a thesis.

She had a key hand in evolving science beyond that point and coming to that original thesis, and played a role in what later sysnthesized more definitely in the role of physics, chemistry and quantum physics in realizing the inconceivable breakdown of the atom to nothingness.

New elements
In 1896 Henri Becquerel
discovered that uranium salts emitted rays that resembled X-rays in their
penetrating power. He demonstrated that this radiation, unlike phosphorescence, did not
depend on an external source of energy but seemed to arise
spontaneously from uranium itself. Becquerel had in fact discovered
radioactivity.
Marie decided to look into uranium rays as a possible field of
research for a thesis. She used a clever technique to investigate samples.
Fifteen years earlier, her husband and his brother had invented the electrometer, a device for
measuring extremely low electrical currents. Using the Curie electrometer, she
discovered that uranium rays caused the air around a sample to conduct
electricity.[16] Her first
result, using this technique, was the finding that the activity of the uranium
compounds depended only on the amount of uranium present. She had shown that the
radiation was not the outcome of some interaction between molecules but must come from
the atom itself. In
scientific terms, this was the most important single piece of work that she
carried out.[17]
Marie's
systematic studies had included two uranium minerals, pitchblende and torbernite.
Her electrometer showed that pitchblende was four times
as active as uranium itself, and chalcolite twice as active. She concluded that,
if her earlier results relating the amount of uranium to its activity were
correct, then these two minerals must contain small amounts of some other
substance far more active than uranium itself.[18]
The
idea [writes Reid] was her own; no one helped her formulate it, and although she
took it to her husband for his opinion she clearly established her ownership of
it. She later recorded the fact twice in her biography of her husband to ensure
there was no chance whatever of any ambiguity. It [is] likely that already at
this early stage of her career [she] realized that... many scientists would find
it difficult to believe that a woman could be capable of the original work in
which she was involved.[19]

Venezuelan Healing velacion

This blogger commented on many world miracles and faith healing traditions including the Venezuelan velacion. I answered his questions and comments and put it in word format.

委内瑞拉 Venezuela In this candle ceremony, known as the velación, the patient lies on an oracolo, a drawing of esoteric symbols made on the ground with talcum, surrounded by candles and fruit, and is showered with flower petals meant to impart energy.

The above site lists spiritual healing centers around the world. Differing in rituals, they all do embrace a commonality or commonalities discussed in the posts on shamanic healing in Ecuador and Peru : Balancing of the chakras , connections with upper worlds through the use of images and plants/enteogens such as ayahuasca and those used in Ecuador by the yachak shamans .
