Pynchon, Dante and Divine Light

[Glenn Scheper]

This topic gives me almost manic associations.

Both Mars (war) and Venus (love) are morning stars
due to their near orbits, but Venus is Revelation's
bright-and-morning star.

Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together,
 and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Clearly, this is an autofellatio reference.

Revelation's Thyatira is at the center of the topic,
and I was thinking last night whether to amplify my
WordsEx text about it. I had even been perusing a
huge folder of web pages got by searching Thyatira.
It seems to be the center and circumference of all
ambiguity and duality. Much is confused in my mind,
but let me catharsisize me by trying to write it:

 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write;
 These things saith the Son of God,
 who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire,
 and his feet are like fine brass;
 2:19 I know thy works,
 and charity,
 and service,
 and faith,
 and thy patience,
 and thy works;
 and the last to be more than the first.
 2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,
 because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel,
 which calleth herself a prophetess,
 to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication,
 and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
 2:21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication;
 and she repented not.
 2:22 Behold,
 I will cast her into a bed,
 and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation,
 except they repent of their deeds.
 2:23 And I will kill her children with death;
 and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts:
 and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
 2:24 But unto you I say,
 and unto the rest in Thyatira,
 as many as have not this doctrine,
 and which have not known the depths of Satan,
 as they speak;
 I will put upon you none other burden.
 2:25 But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.
 2:26 And he that overcometh,
 and keepeth my works unto the end,
 to him will I give power over the nations:
 2:27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron;
 as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers:
 even as I received of my Father.
 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.
 2:29 He that hath an ear,
 let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


Background:

There is the Northern/Southern kingdom (of Egypt)
difference of solar versus fertility/resurrection gods.

This is the Apollonian/Dionysian distinction.

Solar is the much maligned Luciferian/Illuminati aspect.
It features laws and judgment instead of orgiastic acts.

This is the Jehovah / Isis+Baal distinction.

This is son-of-man / son-of-woman distinction.

I read solar is a misapplication of the stellar worship
of the Northern stars, eternal in that they do not set.

I read solar is thinking abstraction of human fertility
worship to earth/crop fertility worship, eternal in its
return from seed/planting/death.


Personal tantra:

An originary wet-dream-in-navel, then AF, conflates
father/son/name/word; coming in the name of the father;
Vishnu born of the lotus out of the navel of Buddha.

cf. Name-of-the-father as law; entry to symbolic realm.

My discovery of AF was after my fourth whore encounter,
which are also the first four seal events of Revelation;
after which, I had my acute psychosis of direct gnosis.
Also, I knew I was Jesus (but perhaps not yet Christ).

Thyatira is the only letter to mention works twice, and
it has a double audience (...but unto you I say...).
This suggests several, and possibly, all these things:

Two different near-coital sex-worker encounters.
An early, incomplete versus a completed aspect.
The whore versus the mother (both had pale paps).
The father versus the son. Tough Oedipal crisis!
The spiritual versus biological fathers. cf. Hamlet.
The summum bonnum versus the dual Ahura-Mazda god.
The natural mortal man versus the eternal spirit.
Knowledge of original sin, versus aboriginal bliss.

I am sure: fornication's referent is anal sodomy.
I am sure: anus is referent of hidden, wilderness.
I am sure: eyes/opthalmos/hole is suckling mouth,
fiery = flagrante: Praise is perfected in the...

WDIN + AF imputes filial fellatio, surely a crime!
Or, it could be Melanie Klein's penis-in-breast.
This implies Jesus' father was a mother sodomizer.

And yet, rather, much suggests to me that the true
crime at Thyatira, conflating mom with a whore, is
filial infant cunnilingus, even clitoris sucking.

This is the apple Eve (mother of all living) gave
to son Adam, a first AF to gain+lose eternal life.
(Whether actual or imputed filial cunnilingus?)

But cf. autocunnilingus poetess Emily Dickinson's
Born-Bridalled-Shrouded-/In a Day- (a good google)

Title divine-is mine!
The Wife-without the Sign!
Acute Degree-conferred on me-
Empress of Calvary!
Royal-all but the Crown!
Betrothed-without the swoon
God sends us Women-
When you-hold-Garnet to Garnet-
Gold-to Gold-
Born-Bridalled-Shrouded-
In a Day-
Tri Victory
"My Husband"-women say-
Stroking the Melody-
Is this-the way? 

"broken to shivers" is her "blown to powder",
the personal ego disintegration of the poet.

"God" is sexual intercourse, so the son of God is,
must be, a mother-fucker. Damn Oedipal problems!
Electra is no joke too!

One or all these many tantric things is the true
referent for "eating things sacrificed to idols".

That recent URL points up the good vs. dual god:

Friedman's dialogue between Rogers and Buber reveals both similarities and 
differences between the two thinkers. Buber, for one, is more inclined to view 
human beings as polar, in distinction from Rogers' trust in the power of 
"self-actualization" to heal from the 'good' inner core of the person's natural 
resources.

They are one!

This is Nietzsche's problem that the son-of-man/god,
as detached from, and yet still, the son-of-woman, ...

The paradise-as-womb-lost, introjected sea, mar, mary:
No man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth
(so only a man in the sea) could open and read the book.

Shit! I am a mother sodomizer, the son-of-perdition!
(Not Judas, Jesus Himself was the only one He lost.)

"I am the bright and morning star." (Not my mother?)
No, I am my own mother, due to Rev 12 re-birth event.

The mythic master-church-builder learns the name of
the devil just in time, Rumplestiltskin. Noah calls
to his wife, come in here, you devil, and the demon
rushes into the ark.

So much more to say, many anecdotes, correlations.
Fuck! I can't figure it out... Help, Mr. Wizard!
