The Greeks call 'Theseus' - Thesau.
Theseus entered the Labyrinth - the deadly maze designed and built by Daedalus - and found his way to its center and to the sleeping Minotaur. 'Minotaur' was the son of Queen Pasiphae and the White Bull of Poseidon, otherwise known as the Marathonian Bull.
All of the ancient Greek mythological heroes had various 'heroic labors' to undertake, before they would be able to attain whatever it was that they were out on some iconic mission to reach.
During the course of these 'labors' the opponents they vanquished would result in the liberation of the humans there.
We can say that a modern-day 'hero' such as the criminal barrister Brian Singleton QC (of the immediate last article), liberated the lives of many. But his name is not well-recalled at all even in the city in which he was the preeminent legal brain and legal orator and persuader. By no means was he just an attorney in the field of criminal law, and he had been drawn into the most high-level and far-reaching cases of political conspiracy and corruption, among the range of legal pursuits that he had involvements in.
Once again, in the myth of Theseus, the Goddess of Wisdom favors this hero and enables him to achieve his mighty purposes through great cunning and applied powerful intellect.
The narratives concerning Theseus span an enormous amount of time, and when no more heroic deeds are accounted for, it seems that many generations have already passed and the final stories seem to be made up by people far away from where Theseus had originally been active, and these stories give some 'justification' to whatever those newer identities were doing - such as ruling an island, or claiming rule there - by referencing Theseus although by this time there really was no 'Theseus.' The accounts therefore of the death of Theseus, are all fabrications by later date myth-makers. No one knows anything about what became of Theseus.Paleolithic cave art bull - Altamira, Spain.
You see...
'The Difficult - or impossible - Labors,' are means by which to keep ordinary people out of, and away from, various significant places, and the means by which heroes are led in, to those very same places.
To get from the ordinary human realm of this Earth, and to enter some place else, some elevated place, some place filled with a treasury of great and enduring wealth, is the same as entering the Labyrinth. At the end of this maze will be the sleeping Minotaur, a human flesh-consuming monster, that you yet must overcome - that no human yet before you has ever overcome - as the final 'labor.'
And so, in overcoming this creature, you demonstrate in fact, that you are yourself something more than just simply another 'ordinary' human.
Every step of the way though, you had been given secret and very quiet assistance by the Cause of Wisdom.
The Judaic-Christian narrative is that to enter the Treasuries of Heaven one must 'do the Will of God.'
And so too, first, we must know the Will of God.
The will of Baal is clearly understood - it is to overpower one's fellow by whatever means, usually brute force either physically or in the guise of officialdom - in order to rule over them and to take whatever you want.The Apis Bull of Saqqara, Egypt.
In that mythology, also a white bull in reality.
And around you then, you will have only those that fear you, and those that feed your vanity, in order that they might get the crumbs from your table, or the opportunity to unseat you altogether.
This place, is known as the Land of Magog.
And, in all the Arabic/Judaic-Christian eschatologies, at the End of the World, the human race is overrun by the children of Gog who seek to turn the world into the Land of Magog. These children of Gog are, according to the exegesis of Sheikh Yasir Qadhi - who is widely derided by other Muslim Sunni scholars on this point - zombies. He literally says 'zombies.'
The stories all say that the children of Gog are cannibals, feeding on the flesh of humans. Yet they are really not actual human cannibals, because, in fact they are not human at all, even though - as in the myths such as that of the Marathonian Bull - these types of figures are some preternatural hybrids in flesh form, of crazed humans and non-humans.
To 'Access The Treasury' we must move into the supernatural maze, which is designed as much to keep people out, as it is, to let you in.
Next time, we go there, right into it, and we begin the actual journey.
