Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Tonight's slide show... These a few versions of the Temptation of St. Anthony in art. Whether they're about dismemberment or not, I'll let you decide. But they definitely aren't the usual images of the Saint being tempted by the Queen of Sheba, or anything else that we would think of as a " temptation. " Perhaps the word could mean here some sort of trial. The first three are pretty gruesome, and details are sometimes hard to make out (the Max Ernst one needs to be viewed upside-down). The last is completely different and quite peaceful compared to the others. It's by Leonora Carrington, whose paintings are beyond description. http://www.abcgallery.com/S/schongauer/schongauer12.html http://www.abcgallery.com/G/grunewald/grunewald23.html http://www.abcgallery.com/E/ernst/ernst53.html http://turingmachine.org/leonora/anthony.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hi John E, The Max painting looks the most to me like a dismemberment. Only for what the creatures are doing. The little ones typically appear as humanoid about six to eight inches tall, sometimes larger and they (in my case) will run across the bed. You can feel the footsteps. The Ayahuasca little ones also appear humanoid. As far as the dismemberment in art I will put one up in the photo section. Those who have the manual will have seen this. - chrism nologo3 <esposito wrote: Tonight's slide show... These a few versions of the Temptation of St. Anthony in art.

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 OK the picture is up in the photo section. The man holding the sword is the Kundalini, and he is not finished yet. The golden head is the Kundalini in the recipient. The arranging has yet to be done. - chrism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Yeah John, this seems to fit, especially the Max Ernst picture. The little ones I saw were similar to these, but with black and white faces. They wore masks or something. They had dark skin, like pygmies. I said banshee, but don't really know what this means. They were very intense, like in the photo. Thanks for posting this, it is fascinating to me how many of the archetypal images we encounter spontaneously with the kundalini, as we delve into the collective unconscious. Having no previous knowledge of this, It is very validating to me to have others point out these realities. To all of you, especially Sel and John, nice to have someone with a large bookbag along.
