These are beautiful things you are saying, imho. The stapes part of the cross emerges from the ground with the "vine" of the Tree of Life and the Chartres labyrinth snake -- this IS the female principle that has been labeled evil, and excoriated out of Christian doctrine over the tedious centuries, much to the detriment of the Faith and planetary conditions in general. But that female principle has always been lurking "underground" in the liturgy. It is most richly there in Mary and her ardent devotees. It abides in the European Cathedrals as the Black Madonna statuary and grotto shrines. The whole lost female issue IS embodied in the lost Grail imagery itself ( a cup/ovary/female symbol if ever there was).

"I am a soul‚ I (am) a star of gold‚ I am Osiris," Pharaoh announces. Before we dismiss this as mere poetry, remember that the Egyptian hieroglyphic language was capable of a dense structure of meaning. The soul,ka, had a precise meaning. It is the wave nature, the flow of the breath, of the spirit, the khu. The Hebrew word ruach, breath or spirit, preserves this meaning. In Genesis, we are told that God is breath. His ruach moved across the waters of chaos to begin the process of creation.

Therefore, the king is declaring that he has entered the state of being called ‚soul, a state where the flow of spirit is self-sustaining, self-referencing and self-aware. To be such a soul is to have the possibility of immortality.

This is a long memory of the gnostic old knowledge, the "pnuema hagion" as loam/womb/lung- dark snake force of the black madonna.

The androgynous nature of Christ is an interesting study. He did say "I am the vine." He is secretly-in-plain-view depicted in the Cathedrals as the "Green Man," completely covered in fruiting vines and leaves.

Revelation 22:1-2, Tree of Life

The River and Tree of Life
"1.And he shewed me a pure river of water of life [aether flow? -ab], clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2.In the midst of the street of it [the river], and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."
