Terminology

  I will post pertinent terminology here, which will be foundational to the restructured Libretto. Forr the most part, I will number thoughts, that will generally apply to the rewrite.

1)  I was reading a new translation of the book "Heaven and Hell". In it, the latin phrase "filius hominis" , traditionally translated as "the Son of Man" is translated as "the Human born One". This changes the perspective overall in a huge way and I think this will be a big part of A&O, because it infers a larger context in conveying the structure from the Ultimate Divine to the outermosts of the natural degree and further down into the deepest hell 

I thought I should convey this

2) 5/29/25 - a conversation at church today was in this regard; 

Creation was effected from the Prime to the Outermosts and  from thence into the Intermediate.

That is basically saying that it manifested in and through the Celestial into the Natural, bypassing the Spiritual Degree and leaving that degree to be populated by men from earth as a result of Free Will. The Outermosts extends to the very molecular structure, not merely the Natural Degree of life which receives Influx. Yet influx is critical to maintain life.

   That being the case,  the Garden of Eden played a pivotal role in defining and structuring the Heavens and the Hells, primarily in the Spiritual Degree. But the other degrees also, particularly after the Nephilim fell from Grace.

  This is a result of an epitome.

Rewrites

UPDATE:    Having read about three quarters of the The Book of Jubilees, I believe I will begin structuring a revamped version of Act One, I still need to redress The Book of Enoch. I will be reading both of these books over again, as well as The Acrana Coelesetia (Swedenborg) to determine the which sequence of events will be selected to present. It is advancing. ARCHIVE: So, I am still pursuing research with ancient writings, but I have gained much more understanding about the components that need to be part of the picture. I am concerned about how to reduce the material down to an impressionistic summary that conveys both magnitude and clarity, without overwhelming the viewer with the time-frame allotted for Act One.     There is a lot of material that needs to be included in some fashion. I do think an abstract representation will be necessary, but that cannot occur without some way to convey justification. Justification suffers when the expressio...

Correspondances

   I will continue to add to this post and to order these elements as they will appear in the Libretto.  Update 7/19/25     My recent thoughts on Correspondences ; I have it in my mind to review the concept of the piece, from beginning to end (Alpha & Omega) in the context of the Correspondances that should encompass the content. This is difficult to express. There are notable events conveyed throughout the Word, but there are also lesser events and concepts that contain significant correspondances.    I'm looking at it this way, it is difficult to see a sequence of events that give the "plot line" substance other than in a documentary/informative sense.  But I really believe that this correspondental interior needs to be revealed before any "plot line structure" can be locked in. I want to say established, but there is (in past revisions) a plot line of sorts.    Absolutely, the original screenplay had a good plot line...
