L’Assomption de la Vierge peint par Michel Sittow,

The dogma of the Ascension of Mary is in fact an acceptance of matter; indeed it is a sancification of matter.

Male Call

Posted on February 3, 2011 by ubu507

He had never met anyone like her…an incurable, insatiable thrill-seeker who lived in a world of bright lights and shadowed bedrooms. She was as wild and wicked as they come, a high born debutante with the lusts of a gutter tramp..willing to pay any price to any man virile enough to match the hellish intensity of her passion-needs.

Solomon and the Queen of Sheba

But if you should ever meet the Queen of Sheba in the flesh, beware of marrying her. The Queen of Sheba is for a magic kind of love, never for matrimony. If you were to marry her, you would both be destroyed and your soul would disintegrate.

Disintegration

Posted on January 31, 2011 by ubu507

From childhood, through early religious and academic training, we are given values which correspond only to an ideal world. The shadowy side of real life is ignored, and Western Christianity provides us nothing which can be used to interpret it. Thus the young people of the West are unable to deal with the mixture of light and shadow of which life really consists; they have no way of linking the facts of existence to their preconceived notions of absolutes. The links connecting life with universal symbols are therefore broken, and disintegration sets in.
