A short blurb from a chapter of my book in progress, The Arks of Tubalcain, about Gilgamesh and how he envisioned himself:
... Even Gilgamesh (aka
Nimrod) worshipped the Beast by having a statue of himself built that made himself
look Sovereign.
Nimrod’s idea of God was
animistic, but his animal of choice was not gray squirrel or even lion
spirits, but the image of his own flesh; and to make it a god, it had to be a
big, big man.
Or it could be that Gilgamesh was
a huge man who displayed his size like a peacock does its bright feathers, in
the manner of the “Sun King,” Charles.
Vain people are Nimrods! The
religion of the world is truly vanity and the gods of each is their own fleshes.
The religion of the world is humanism, as it us animals who are really the gods!
Like Gilgamesh and King Charles, most
worldly people embellish themselves, making the common man (and woman) more
than what he or she is. The countenances that people display are how they
reimagine what God imaged, but inside, they all fall far short of the image
they portray.
