This time, while listening to Madame David-Néel, who was a convinced and practising Buddhist, she saw the Buddha present near the speaker, ‘not above the head but a little to the side.’ When the talk was over and Mirra told Madame David-Néel about her vision, she received the indignant repartee that such a thing was impossible because the... the Buddha had gone to Nirvana. All the same, both ladies came to respect each other’s qualities and soon were friends. Alexandra David-Néel was born near Paris in 1868. Her father, Louis David, was a friend of Victor Hugo and he too, just like the great writer, had been banished for his anti-government stance. As a consequence Alexandra grew up in Brussels, educated by a bigoted mother and in ...

We have indeed... a poem in a certain language (Greek for example) and a certain metre. It is an imitation of poetry. Page 73 not the newly created expression of a present vision. It lacks what David Jones calls 'nowness'. Would Virgil have been impressed, or Ovid (not to speak of Homer) by some clever schoolboy or graduate's imitation of the Aeneid or the Iliad? There is an astonishing virtuosity... poetry must often seem very opaque. And in present day England I'm bound to say that Blake's 'limit of opacity' has just been reached.

... Resurrection - to sceptical scrutiny. Thus we know from Paul that Jesus was born like all men subject to the common retributive Law (Galatians 4:4), was descended from Abraham (Galatians 3:16) and David (Romans 1:3), had brothers (1 Corinthians 9:5), with one brother named James (Galatians 1:19; 1 Corinthians 15:7), had twelve Apostles (1 Corinthians 15:5), two of whom were Cephas - that is, Peter... questions" Paul begins his answer by saying "Whatever you sow in the ground has to die before it is given new life and the thing that you sow is not what is going to come..." Paul is making use, as David Edwards 63 reminds us, of the ancient belief that a seed died in the earth before a plant emerged, and trying to show that what came after a seed's death was at the same time different in character... resurrection was the chief moment associated with the divine proclamation of the identity of Jesus". About Jesus, Brown translates from Paul's Epistle to the Romans the key-formula: "Born of the seed of David according to the flesh; designated Son of God in power according to the Holy Spirit [Spirit of Holiness] as of resurrection from the dead" (1:3-4). Brown quotes also from the Epistle to the Philippians: ...

His 1:67 draws for its content on Isaiah... example of the genre is the Book of Daniel, nowadays dated between 167 and 164 B.C., a scripture of which Jesus can be proved quite cognisant.

... weep not: behold, the Lion of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." 10 And it is after these words have been spoken that the strange Lamb comes forward. The Lamb and the Lion (of Juda) are identical, as is clear too from what Christ says much later: "I am the root and the offspring of David..." 11 A further point to remark in The Revelation... profound religious wit, the fact remains that a pre-Blake Christian poet has explicitly endowed Christ with wings. Then there are the Biblical passages where too the poetry gives wings to divinity. David rhapsodises: "Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice" 19 - "He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust" 20 - "And he rode... was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it..."
