Strange Electromagnetic Dimensions, 5


{Adscitious to the more-celebrated attestations of praeternatural abilities (in this circumstance, often a miraculous ability to heal ailments) in dreaming (as is usual in shamanry), there are also cases of such ability being acquired by being smitten by levin (in the material waking-world); which latter is a subject-matter of this book. We would tend to explain such instances as introduction, by means of the levin, of a levin-deity into a human body (whether on the material plane or some subplane thereof, or whether on some subtle plane or subplane thereof), wherein the levin-deity may take up residence, and while so ensconced may produce praeternatural effects. Likewise for ball-levin : a similar explanation for its effects on, or through means of, a mortal's body; as due to its deity's producing any praeternatural effects.}

Transformed by Lightning

147-179


p. 148 transformed by being smitten with levin

"As a result of being struck {smitten} with lightning ... is transformed into an intermediary between humanity and the gods, ... in the category of a ... shaman."

{N.B. The litteral meaning of /strike/ is 'attempt to smite' : such as, a baseball-batter's attempt (not necessarily with success) to smite the ball; or a labor-union's attempt (not necessarily with success) to make its demands heeded. The word /strike/ is cognate with Latin /striga/ 'groove (such as, fluting in a pilaster)', whence modern English /strigate/ and /strigose/ 'groovey'.} {The word /levin/ is evidently derived from Latin /levitas/ in this word's poietic, transferred meaning of "moveableness, mobility" (L&Sh:LD, s.v. "levitas") : cf. expressions such as "acted/moved with lightning-ease".}

L&Sh:LD = Lewis & Short : A Latin Dictionary.


p. 148 the 5 different ways of being smitten with levin

"A person can be struck by lightning in one of five different ways :

direct strike,

side flash,

ground current,

conduction, and

streamers."


p. 152 Lichtenberg

"some lightning strike victims come away with reddish fern-like patterns on the skin, called Lichtenberg figures, though these vanish within days."


p. 163 as result of being levin-smitten : acquired psychic abilities

"Cases exist where people have been healed of medical conditions after being struck by lightning. Then there are cases where survivors have developed ... psychic abilities. Some survivors insist they are ... grateful they were struck."

"Baubo"), Demeter "was amused, began to laugh" : in like manner as it was for the sake of assembled gods in front of the cavern of reclusive sun-goddess Ama-terasu, that the goddess Ame-no-uzume pulled down her own skirt, causing them to laugh.} {The stauros-toting Simon (mentioned in Eu-angelion kata Markos 15:21), how-be-it, is from Kurene, Kurenai:ka being modernly known as Barqah ('levin'; but cf.

"Greta Alexander (1932-1998) of


Delevan, Illinois,

Manito, Illinois ... .

{/MANITO/ is the word for 'deity' in the languages of Algonkin tribes (including of the Illinois tribe).}


One night in ... 1961, while ... she was lying in bed ... "a white light came at me through the window ... burning a hole in the bed." ... It was soon after the lightning strike that ... psychic abilities were "awakened." She found herself answering the telephone moments before it rang, and noticed she was able to "read" the minds of others. She eventually established herself as a professional psychic, being paid by clients ... .

p. 172

Her work assisting police with missing persons cases (for which she received no payment) began in 1974."


{Despite the North American location of MANITO in ILLINOis, nevertheless, there is likewise a connection betwixt the similar pair of heroi:nes' names /MANTOI/ and /ILIONe/ : Mantoi went to Kolophon (with the term /colophon/ referring to the end-information in books; cf. the end put, by herself, to most of the Sibylla's oracle-books) so as to marry the king of Karia (GM 107.i); while Pod-aleirios went first to Kolophon (GM 169.c) and afterwards to Karia (GM 169.d), postmortem sharing (with another hero) "a dream oracle" (loc. cit.) : similarly to how Mantoi's son shared (with another hero) "a common oracle ..., and the responses are given in dreams" (GM 169.e). On account of a certain hero's having "appeared in dreams" (GM 168.i) there occurred the immolation of a woman (GM 168.k) subsequent to whose demise there was "found the dead body of" (GM 168.n) a boy being "reared" by (GM 168.l) queen Ilione. This boy had been "stoned to death beneath the walls" (GM 168.m) : 'wall of soft clay' being in Latin /maceria/ (L&Sh:LD), cognate with Hell. /masso/ 'I knead', the etymon of French /mac,on/ 'mason', whence the name of Mason County wherein Manito, IL, is located -- the term "stone-mason" evidently deriving from the stoning beneath the walls, an act very reminiscent of how, dropped from the tower, "a piece of a millstone ... all to brake his skull" (S^apat.iym 9:53) of him who had been enroyaled by (S^apat.iym 9:6) the house of MiLLow> (Strong's 4407 'filled'), a meaning reflected in the expression "Fullness (pleroma) of Khristos", viz., of him who perished at Golgotha ('skull'). [Hence the Valentinian Pleroma as the Khristology of Freemasonry, with spear of centurion Longinus aequivalent to the jewelled spear of long-nosed Saru-da Biko-na, the S^into aequivalent to Yaca-tecuhtli ('nose lord'), Aztec aequivalent to ("BGP", p. 102) Maya god "M", whose decapitated head (thus suggesting the skull of >adam allegedly at Golgotha) is depicted (in the Madrid Codex, p. 33b) at ("BGP", p. 105, Fig. 13) the waist of Maya god "Z" the wielder (in the Madrid Codex, p. 32a -- "BGP", p. 105, Fig. 12) of a spear (thus indicating Longinus's wielding this spear-of-destiny displayed by Charlemagne and by the Habsburgs).]}

[quoted from ShH&MM, p. 46] "The Greeks believed a person struck by lightning was in possession of magical powers ... and in tribal cultures throughout the world lightning shamans are often venerated ... as the mightiest of shamans."

p. 173

"among ... the Sioux ... when a person has been struck by lightning or has visions {read "dreams"} featuring Wakinyah ("thunderbirds" or "thunder beings") it can indicate they've {he or she hath} been chosen to become ... a Heyoka ("thunder dreamer").


A Heyoka differs from a conventional medicine man in that he does everything in a contrary fashion. ...

{The word for 'contrary, opposite' is (DMWA, p. 628a) /d.idd/, identical with the TL-MRJ word for 'spinal column', which determinant-hieroglyph is the emblem of ("CDjS") WSJR.}


The powers with which Heyokas are gifted derive from the thunderbirds. ... They produce lightning from their beaks; they produce thunder through the beating of their wings. ...

{These may relate to the falcon-gods H.R, one a brother of, and the other the son of, WSJR.}


"Only those who have had visions {i.e., dreams} of the thunder beings of the west can act as heyokas ... .

{WSJR is "foremost of the Westerners" ("EFD").}


They have sacred power, and they share some of this with all the people, but they do it through funny actions." [BES, p. 149] These "funny actions" can include ... answering "yes" when one actually means "no"; and wearing one's clothing ... back-to-front."

"the Wimshurst machine, a type of electrostatic generator that consists of two parallel insulating disks that revolve {rotate} in opposite directions.

{These two oppositely-revolving disks could be paralleled, in the structure of a subtle component of the human body, to the opposition, of downward-facing blossom, to upward-facing blossom; matched by oppositely-facing (and therefore contrariwisely-rotating) cakra-s ('wheels'), as described for Kun.d.alini Yoga.

{"When demonstrating the properties of electrostatics with the electric kiss, the two volunteers would stand on insulating surfaces.
