I will try and find the outline questions.

However, the theory also holds that this same death energy can get released through ego death, it doesn't have to be physical. <br /><br /> p.301 "Thoughtfully and quietly, Danny Pricefixer returned the book to the clerk at the checkout window. Thoughtfully and quietly, he walked out on Fifth Avenue and stood between the two guardian lions."<br /><br />Danny Pricefixer's name qabalistically indicates a healer. The image of lions played a large role for me this week. Upon meeting Bachir Attar in Italy he gave a few of us a small Moroccan lion button. The Egyptian museum in Turin, the biggest outside of Cairo, literally has a few dozen large statues of Sekhmet, the Lion-headed goddess in their collection. Some pharoah commissioned 365 seated and 365 standing statues of Sekhmet, one for each day of the year.<br /><br />p.303 "Since that seems the most worthwhile cause I've been approached for all day, I gave the lady $1."<br /><br />It's always nice to give to good causes like MMAM although Muzak was one reason Jimmy Page started Led Zeppelin.<br /><br />p. 304 "Every emotion is a motion."<br /> - great line!Oz Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061222169144560970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-85072793505887430482014-09-17T08:15:34.819-07:002014-09-17T08:15:34.819-07:00I do, too, Eric, and I also love the way the tie-i...I do, too, Eric, and I also love the way the tie-in to the Cthulhu Mythos is made even more explicit later on, when Lovecraft turns up as a character in the book.
