i.e. — Ancient of Days, Father Time, Kronos

This is exactly why Deists were NOT Christians in the orthodox and perverted sense. A lot of private arguments twixt Jefferson and Adams over religious points…

“Thus begins that duality of good and evil.. opposite of the bible mythology, but the great divide remained.”
Yes, and that brings another example to mind. There’s always two sides, generally with some fixed gulf separating them in the space/time in which they exist (for instance, the afterlife story in the parable of Lazarus and The Rich Man), often with a disinterested or all powerful observer. This falls under the dualities, and with the observer figure could also point to an embedded genetic or spiritual memory of trinities.
This observer manifests itself in any number of reality-edge situations. Users of psychedelics such as psylocybin, LSD, DMT, etc., especially those actively seeking a spiritual experience, often report a breakdown of their minds into it’s components, superego, id, etc., and always seem to report the presence among them of this Watcher.
All of this leads me to the final parallel for this comment – the Grand Designer, or Universal Watch-maker if you will, which describes God as viewed by Enlightenment-era Deists seems to fit in nicely with many of these ideas.

I haven’t considered the psychology/Jungian aspect, or studied it in relation to time and space. I know the Lost in Space book touches on the philosophical and some psychological points.

My research has been through history and mythologies. Brinsley le Poer Trench wrote a very intriguing book on the Gods of Eden, that lays out a theory that we were put here to be slaves of the ‘God’, and the ones sympathetic to man’s dilemma were the ‘satans’ or fallen angels. They were the ones to give man math, astronomy, geometry, metallurgy and other arts and knowledge. Thus begins that duality of good and evil.. opposite of the bible mythology, but the great divide remained.

A rabbi once told me that to believe the Bible as the only word of God, was like using Cliff Notes and then presuming you read the whole book.

When I was assembling the Lost in Space collection, the Ying and Yang came to mind, but no one has evidently written along these lines, in relation to space and time — infinite and eternal. Infinite and eternal are the opposite of man, who is finite and limited to about 70 years.

Perhaps that is why it intrigues us so.

The good book says God is Light.. but Lucifer means light bearer.
Are they one and the same?

The fallen angels = the Titans of Sumerian myth.. The giants in the land.

The Titans were related to the Enki and Enlil clan, and were thrown off the good ship Nibiru and banished to Planet Earth for their alleged plan to overthrow the Father-god, of Enki and Enlil. Enki and Enlil are almost synonymous with the Christian God (or Jesus) and Satan.

Back to Jung.. strayed off topic.

I know Jung had high regard for the serpent symbolism, wearing one on a ring. He said the serpent was Christ, representing the omnipotent and infinite. If I remember he also thought the mouth and tail of the ouroboros was sexual, the mouth being the receptor (vagina) and tail being the penis. There is an ouroboros that is two reptiles, each having the other’s tail in their mouth. In the single snake, the entity was evidently able to procreate without a partner….

Those are some excellent points about the necessity of the void. Going along with the endless reptile manifestations of God throughout all cultures, I can also see the duality of nothing/something expressed in the variations of the Yin-Yang scattered throughout human memory. Always a duality.
Where, if at all, do you see the interplay of the Jungian Archetypes in the overwhelming similarities of the images of reptiles eating themselves?
