 Heraldics of the Popes |
Upon entering Peter's square I
got a shock: the eagle, symbol of power and oppression as symbol of the Popes. Repeated by
the heraldics on the left side. What has this to do with Jesus? |
 |
|
 |
|
 Papal power...... |
This is what you see on churches LINK:
e.g. Freiburg, Lucca, Perigieux, Chartres all over Europe: Ecclesial power
crushing its pagan predessessors. To continuously emphasize the destruction of your
"enemies" shows the inherent weakness of your faith. Deep down the Church fears
the revival of the Original Tradition, the living pre-Christian religion |
Green Man crushed.... |
|
 He
cannot get enough of it: second statue |
|
 |
|
 Papal hegemony over the
original Great Mother (Shell/Womb) e.g. femininity |
|
 One of two fountains created by
Bernini (17th century), with copies throughout Italy |
|
 This
"GREEN MAN IS BACK!" postcard seize can be ordered |
Bernini was a typical Catholic of his times. Superficially
confirming his faith by intensive church visits, while deep within committed to Cosmic
Insight. In front of St.Peter's Church he created his two fountains, expressing his own
"heretical" wisdom. The basin symbolizes the Cosmic Womb, followed by Her two
"emanations": the Divine as the first layer, the universe as the second. In
between the last two are four Green Men, as symbols of the Divine Immanence in the world.
Unbelievable and quite courageous too! |
|
|
 Having been oppressed for 2000 years
is no fun. It explains his suffering e.g. twisted face..... |
|
 |
Bernini's images are very much alive, authentic, powerful
and express their emotions (anger!) in an uncompromising way. That is only possible if you
are very committed to your art. Not only that: he for sure really knew the Green Man from
within. |

|
 Second
fountain. The Green Man a little difficult to see. On the postcard He is fully
recognizable though |
|

 |
Day and night the eight Green Men of St.Peter's square are
challenging the power claims of the Catholic Church. They are messengers of the Truth.
Their energies are inexhaustible. Their time has come. |

|
 Isn't he beautiful? He is the
Hopeful to the world |
|
 After my visit the Vatican will never
be the same anymore |
