That was great. Thank you, Sacha.
Wanted to post some thoughts on this video (SPOILER ALERT!).
Interesting threads (would love to pursue further):"Everything starts with imagination, and without it there is nothing." (Imagination precedes thought / desire)
"Curiosity is insubordination." (Dave makes a reference to Rhyee)
"The ord is closer to the 144 than the orbs." (Dave motioned upward, saying he
envisioned the "ord" above the orb(s), and as being closer to the higher 144)I looked up the origin of "ord", but was only able to find the Latin "ordo".
I didn't come up with a lot on a cursory search, but did find usage going
back to Virgil (70BC - 19BC). The reference was to the phrase, "Novus
ordo seclorum" which was printed on the back of the $1 bill, beginning in
1935.
That phrase was taken from taken from the fourth Eclogue of Virgil, which
contains a passage (lines 5-8) that reads (from Wikipedia):
Quote:
Latin
Ultima Cumaei venit iam carminis ætas;
Magnus ab integro sæclorum nascitur ordo.
iam redit et Virgo, redeunt Saturnia regna,
iam nova progenies cælo demittitur alto.
English
Now comes the final era of the Sibyl's song;
The great order of the ages is born afresh.
And now justice returns, honored rules return;
now a new lineage is sent down from high heaven.
Medieval Christians read Virgil's poem as a prophecy of the coming of Christ.
The Augustan Age, although pre-Christian, was viewed as a golden age
preparing the world for the coming of Christ. The great poets of this age
were viewed as a source of revelation and light upon the Christian mysteries
to come. [2]
The word seclorum does not mean "secular", as one might assume, but is the
genitive (possessive) plural form of the word saeculum, meaning (in this context)
generation, century, or age. Saeculum did come to mean "age, world" in late,
Christian Latin, and "secular" is derived from it, through secularis. However, the
adjective "secularis," meaning "worldly," is not equivalent to the genitive plural
"seclorum," meaning "of the ages."[3]
