| great quote from the book about The Temple Of Mithras ... ***** If the present Temple stands for anything, it is the symbol of how the City has lost it; corrupted the integrity of its founding greed, its pattern of ritual and sacrifice, decent human vices, by yielding entirely to secrecy, cynicism, surveillance. Unprepared to let the past go, the offshore investors and short-term profit takers have deliberately enslaved every artefact they can claw out of the ground. Walks are permitted only on agreed paths. The ancient gates, energy sluices, have been replaced tawdry plastic barriers. A policy of deliberate misalignment (the Temple of Mithras, London Stone, the surviving effigies from Ludgate) has violated the integrity of the City's sacred geometry; leaving, in the place of well-ordered chaos, regimented anonymity - a climate in which corruption thrives. Poisoned weather, sick skies, confused humans. ********* http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/browse.php?site_id=632 Nice find RG Reply | with quote |  18th October 2001ce 11:51 In reply to: Lahndan (RiotGibbon) |
