Hidden in plain sight. <br /><br />I assume you and your readers are familiar with the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=hermes&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Frunningfrombabylon.blogspot.com%2F&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images" rel="nofollow">pioneering research which 'Garden Girl' did on Mercury/Hermes and its relation to the monkey 'god' Hanuman -- beloved by and of the president</a>? The connections are direct, strong and plain for all those with eyes to see.<br /><br />Some further thoughts on Mercury as it relates to America... <br /><br />As with the rapid orbit of the planet and the speedy/winged associations of the 'god', we are a culture of *fast* -- food, cars, money, sex, wisdom, insight, faith, etc. So too, like the planet, we are obsessed with what is "hot" -- what's the latest, 'greatest', newest, etc.<br /><br />We want it NOW and it must be NEW. We are not inclined to WAIT on the Lord in anything like the time-frames we see people doing so in scripture.<br /><br />Like the <i>element</i> Mercury, we tend, as a culture to be mercurial -- i.e., slippery and hard to pin down, much like the metal in its liquid state. (I suspect most have probably seen this in high school chemistry class or upon breaking an old-style thermometer.) One of my biggest frustrations, in reaching people with the gospel is that they will not hold to anything concrete, escaping with relativistic koans about truth being unknowable or my truth being OK for me, but not for him/her.<br /><br />In short, I'm not surprised that this demonic 'god' holds sway over America right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
