Re: Doors

Interesting note: William Blake's The Lambeth Books (his long prophetic works) are heavily influenced by "Hindoo" Mythology. Blake was among the first Western poets and philosophers to incorporate Eastern myth into his work. The Proverbs of Hell, The Book of Thel, The of Urizen, Los, etc... all ...

Re: Cyclical patterns in Fibonacci numbers

^These are not Fibonacci sequences. Can you perhaps clarify exactly what operation/function is performed upon the base? Fn for n = 0 or 1 or n-1 or n+1 id the base function of Fibonacci integer sequences.

Re: Help Me to Understand

Having just found this place, and having only made it through the first 30 or so advents... I can say that this place is a repository of many years of study of the mythologies and esoteric wisdoms of human history.
