Soldier/Zhanna: *bringing out ring boxes at the same time*

Zhanna: Oh… *laughs* It seems we both planned to propose to each other right here!

Soldier: *smugly* AH, BUT I’VE TAKEN THE KNEE! SO IT SEEMS THAT I’LL BE THE ONE PROPOSING TODAY!

Zhanna: *smirks* Not so fast! *on both her knees, huddled* I’m even lower than you! I’m proposing!

Soldier: OH HO HO! HOW SURE YOU ARE OF YOURSELF!

Soldier: *lays flat on his front* BEHOLD! I AM A LOW AS THE HUMAN BODY CAN POSSIBLY BE! I WILL BE THE ONE WHO PROPOSES, CUPCAKE, AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU C-

Zhanna: *cuts Soldier off by digging into the soil in front of him*

*meanwhile, a short distance away…*

Medic: *holding a "congratulations!" sign* Aw, look at them, they are truly perfect for each other!

Heavy: *holding a "SAY NO!" sign* So it would seem…

"...A woman with vulpine traits? Interesting. I wonder what biological processes could cause such a mutation to occur."

"...You smell wrong. In every single aspect, your scent reeks of destruction and death. It's if you've traversed a sea of corpses and took every disease you could find and added it to your own body. Do not even touch me, human, lest you find a fox's fangs at your throat."

"Well, if that's the case..."

"Come at me with everything you have, beast."

Zhanna: Honestly, 'You'll never find the body' is such a boring threat. A better threat would be; 'You'll never stop finding the body.'

Medic: Or just say, 'They'll be finding parts of you for at least four months...and you'll still be alive for three of them!'

Zhanna: Ooh, that's a good one!

Heavy/Soldier: *watching their respective partners with adoring expressions*

A MESSAGE TO THE GNOSTIC

I know we love tying eastern mysticism into scriptures and can do so seamlessly at points. We are taught Hindus are the originators of so many forms of meditation so we feel compelled to find the connecting threads and view scripture through that lense.

This is all well and good but I’d urge you all to study the depths of meditation in Judaism. There’s 8-10,000 years of history waiting for those who do. Terms like Merkavah and Yochudim, Hitbodedut, or the Hebrew word for enlightenment- Ru’ahh HakoDesh (infilling of the Holy Spirit) are waiting for you to read them.

Never forget who hit the global scene during the Babylonian Exile in the 6th Century BCE and spread well beyond their homes in the Bear East. Recognize their contribution and speak to members of the Jewish community.

Several things become apparent. We can’t deny the influence Kemet had on the Near East or the influence the Near East had on the East; all of which are interchangeable. The parallels exist because of the influences these groups had on each other. We’re speaking the same internal language- seeking knowledge of our higher selves.

Food for thought.
