Thank-you Brook. I'm becoming increasingly interested in Greece, Alexander the Great, and the Intertestamental-Period -- relative to Babylon, Egypt, Israel, and Rome -- and especially relative to Judeo-Christianity and the Holy-Bible (as we know them). I keep wondering if King David, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba were lurking in the shadows (on a soul-basis)?! I keep thinking about Cleopatra (with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton) and The Agony and the Ecstasy (with Rex Harrison). There has to be a common-thread which extends from antiquity to the present (which is both good and evil). I'm trying to back-off of my "quest". It's just too frightening, disorienting, and draining. I'm leaning toward an extended devotional-study of:
1. Prophets and Kings (by Ellen White) -- which is a Royal-Model Judeo-Christian Middle-Way.
2. The 1928 Book of Common Prayer (and Liturgy) with Sacred Classical Music -- which is a Royal-Model Judeo-Christian Middle-Way.
3. The Federalist Papers (and the U.S. Constitution) -- which is a Royal-Model Representative-Republic Under-God.
4. The United States of the Solar System -- Final Cut -- which is a Royal-Model Representative-Republic Solar-System Under-God.
5. Babylon 5 Movies and Series -- as a Futuristic-Context for All of the Above.
Here I Stand. I Can Do No Other. Actually I'm Sitting in my Cadillac -- Wearing a Fedora Given to Me By An Ancient-Egyptian Deity.
