The Ancient Word

   In the Writings we are told that there was an Ancient Word that was lost. It says that remnants if that Word still exist in Tarsus (an unknown locale). The Writings came about before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, so I wonder how those facts apply to The Ancient Word?

   But this leads me to The Book of Enoch. Having just acquired a copy of Enoch, I have determined to use that to fill in the gap that exists in Genesis regarding details of events before the Flood. 

   It is said that Enoch was Noah's great grandfather. It is also said that the Book of Enoch was not written by Enoch, because of carbon dating of the scrolls that were found. Enoch is not in the canons of the Jewish or Christian Churches, except for a church in Eithiopia, which does include it in its canons.

   This in itself is interesting, because of the Spiritual cognitions attributed to the peoples of Africa.


   I cannot say with any authority that Enoch is part of The Ancient Word that was lost, but I think it is very likely. So, I have concluded that using Enoch as part of the foundations of "I Am Alpha and Omega" is acceptable, given that I include a disclaimer in the Playbill notes. 

   But here is a very interesting thought that occurred to me - If Enoch is part of The Ancient Word, then that book also under the Science of Correspondances. Hence, research into the internal sense of the Book of Enoch is appropriate based on revelation in the Writings. This will be a huge task, but it needs to be done.

   The Ancient Word came about when The Most Ancient Church declined to the point where the Word was no longer "inscribed on their hearts" and truths (and goods) henceforth needed to be learned. Thus, the Word became written. It is then that the Law came into being. Did this occur with the writing of The Ten Commandments? Until that time did the Word remain inscribed in the Twelve Tribes, gradually declining in cognitions? I think that is likely. I will pursue that line if thinking in my research.

More later, AG

Terminology

    a photo taken by Jane Blair          on New Church Day              June 19th 2025   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 int...

Correspondances

Image
   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...

NOTES on Acts One & Two

Image
Update 8/29/25  It is said in  The Writings that the Ancient Word still exists and is located somewhere in Tartary. Fragments of The Book of Giants were found in Tartary. The book of Giants was also found in The Dead Sea Scrolls and is tied to the Books of. Enoch and The Jubilees . Events Leading up to the Flood    Research into the documents discovered in The Dead Sea Scrolls leads to the possibility that The Creation began well before the creation of man in the natural degree. The implication is that "the Sons of God" refers to the angels that were created, presumably in or above the Celestial Degree. Further, the inference is that when those angels placed "Love of Self" above Love of God, they fell (from Grace). The sequence of events surrounding that fall from Grace, leads one to believe that upon such fall, hell was created. One might conclude that when hell was created it necessitated the creation of heaven as a balancing factor. If th...
