I had decided to look up in what month Caear was stabbed by Brutus, it just couldn't be July, I thought. My intuition said it should be at the other end of the single-cycle year, at the close of the year. Caesar represents human order and Brutus the 'brutal' chaotic forces which are so strong in spring. I was too lazy to search for Gibbons. Instead a quick look in Wikipedia was immediately rewarding. He was killed in the 'ides of March' (= March 15). And of course, Brutus was not alone - he had a bunch of companion brutes:
This is no longer my intuition working, it is my conscious mind following the map created from experience gained by walking in the mythic landscape. It couldn't be any other time than at the end of one rule, and being the rule of Rome, the great civilization, it couldn't be the time when the spring serpent is beheaded. I do not care if Wikipedia tells the 'true' (historical) story or if that has been manipulated over time. I do not care about the tunnel-eyed singleminded cause-and-effect superficial beliefs - I am interested in the deeper fundamental structure that is man. That structure which changes histories into myths. It is anyhow quite astonishing how in the tumult, turning over, toppling, of Caesar the stabbing knife at the beginning of a new year has its parallel in how Captain Cook was murdered in the tumult on Hawaii at the same time (in the mythic frame):
(Wikipedia. Drawing by John Cleveley in 1784)
I decided to insert a new page explaining at least something about the structure in K: ... The parallel sign in Ga3-20 is a waxing sun sign. The sun light is gaining in strength and the moon light is - comparatively seen - diminishing in importance. For the moon concave to the left means waning in the rongorongo system, while for the sun it presumably means waxing - it should be spring time which is illustrated in Ka4-11 and Ga3-20 ...
The important conclusion is that each rongorongo text must be considered as a whole. Only by contemplating the whole picture can deeper insights be reached. |
