Glad to see gerbil found an outlet for his energy.
What is it like when C_A backed pedovores run a country?
Like this.
Odysseus said to Athena that it is “already becoming hard to recognize the gods,” when they embodied human form. At Troy when people were "possessed" or "inspired" by the gods they did things they were not otherwise capable of doing. Trojan and Greek heroes alike performed superhuman feats when in when in ‘god mode.’ At the battle before Troy, all the gods were recorded as present and they all took part in the fighting on either the Greek or Trojan side. What did Homer mean? What happens when a human being is possessed by a god?
In Homer's account men were said to look different, though, as Odysseus complained to Athena, gods were becoming harder to recognize in the material realm. Odysseus was particularly astute, recognizing Athena by her ox-eyes alone; Homer talks about a heroes’ "shining;" a glow or intensity like an aura which marked men or women displaced in their human body by a god. Divine possession is necessarily brief, Homer suggested, because human physiology can't stand the strain of higher energies very long.
Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia for the promise of victory, before leaving Greece. War is an environment where men connect more easily with the archetypes, and these are what men call gods, or hypostasis of God.
Consider the psychospiritual environment in which soldiers besieging Troy lived. Daily rituals, prayers and animal and human sacrifices, constant ceremonies invoking the gods’ assistance or beseeching their protection combined with strenuous daily combat create a hyper-charged psychic environment hospitable to the invocation of, and possession by, the gods. A collective state of mind where the line between the realm of the abstract, imaginary and the material world is indistinct, where the world becomes dreamlike and the gods whisper their secrets in men’s ears.
In Homer, Apollo is described by name and image; the naming activates a corresponding archetype within, and the man is said to be possessed or “filled” with the god; while this is so, a man is capable of godlike feats. We are “made in God's image” and have within us a microcosm the same forces, aspects of our own nascent Unity. When we balance the aspects of God within us by daily prayer and meditation, Judgement and Mercy are reconciled in Christ, and we become shepherds ourselves. What we guard against are the powers and principalities, the Kings of Edom, the unbalanced forces active within us.
