BLESSED TRINITY
Osiris, divine king of Egypt, who was dismembered by his brother, Seth , was not the only one who was dismembered.
All African civilization, itself , was also historically dismembered, scattered all over the earth. Having read the ancient myth many times, it did not hit me until today January 19, 2020, that the Osiris-Isis myth was prophesy.
Fortunately Isis, the wife of Osiris, was able to recover his disparate parts, reassemble him ; and to become magically impregnated by him; giving birth to son, Horus, who assumed his father’s former place as king of kings, lord of lords. They became the first Holy Trinity. From this widely known ancient account, Jesus Christ was mythologized, was anthropologized to be king of kings, lord of lords on the earth, as only begotten son of God in Heaven.
In our era 2020, myth has taken on an aura of impossibility, of fantasy, absurdity. Perhaps so. What then is the truth? How else do we account for our own improbable appearance upon the earth? Or for the earth itself? Or sun moon stars planets?
Myth is as logical as history in the mind of man. Both are accounts.
What a man or woman believes is private , personal, imperceptible.
I concede to others their beliefs, be they ever so bizarre. Beliefs are theirs; both are here. That suffices.
