00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:02.910 align:middle line:90%
Book 3.

00:00:02.910 --> 00:00:08.910 align:middle line:84%
Honey was an offering entheogen,
gifting the propulsive buzz

00:00:08.910 --> 00:00:12.730 align:middle line:90%
that incited sacred visions.

00:00:12.730 --> 00:00:16.470 align:middle line:84%
Honey was offered
by those who wished

00:00:16.470 --> 00:00:21.920 align:middle line:84%
to receive a favorable
response from the Oracle.

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.270 align:middle line:84%
Fueled on honey, the
bee women fly from home.

00:00:26.270 --> 00:00:30.410 align:middle line:84%
Rising through space,
sailing in shadows,

00:00:30.410 --> 00:00:37.220 align:middle line:84%
tipping membranous wings towards
the comb of the pulsating sun.

00:00:37.220 --> 00:00:40.790 align:middle line:84%
They are the access
of all that passes,

00:00:40.790 --> 00:00:44.480 align:middle line:84%
sweetness inspires
them to realize truths.

00:00:44.480 --> 00:00:49.290 align:middle line:90%


00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:52.380 align:middle line:90%
Prophecy is binary.

00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:58.960 align:middle line:84%
The seeker must inquire, how
will the fates view this act?

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:06.160 align:middle line:84%
Prophecy is a question, it
dramatizes one of two choices.

00:01:06.160 --> 00:01:09.580 align:middle line:90%
Prophecy is intelligence.

00:01:09.580 --> 00:01:13.090 align:middle line:84%
Divination reframes pattern
realities and repeating

00:01:13.090 --> 00:01:16.720 align:middle line:84%
memories, symbolically
fusing the past

00:01:16.720 --> 00:01:22.410 align:middle line:84%
with the synchronous cosmic
return of the still to come.

00:01:22.410 --> 00:01:25.530 align:middle line:90%
Prophecy is code.

00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:28.980 align:middle line:84%
Whether whispered,
thrown or drawn,

00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:34.190 align:middle line:84%
the Oracle is open
to interpretation.

00:01:34.190 --> 00:01:38.060 align:middle line:84%
In the same manner,
today's scientific theories

00:01:38.060 --> 00:01:41.950 align:middle line:84%
are pictured as a series
of prophetic dilemmas.

00:01:41.950 --> 00:01:47.170 align:middle line:90%


00:01:47.170 --> 00:01:53.260 align:middle line:84%
Delphi, the temple was overseen
by the bee priestess enthroned

00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:55.990 align:middle line:90%
on a burnished tripod.

00:01:55.990 --> 00:02:00.490 align:middle line:84%
The stone omphalos,
hollow as a skep or bell,

00:02:00.490 --> 00:02:04.480 align:middle line:84%
was supposed to allow
the Oracle to swallow

00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:10.449 align:middle line:84%
an infusion of noxious
hallucinogenic fumes.

00:02:10.449 --> 00:02:13.605 align:middle line:84%
The original omphalos
stone was stellar born,

00:02:13.605 --> 00:02:16.320 align:middle line:84%
carved from the
remains of a meteorite.

00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:21.480 align:middle line:84%
Its crosswalk pattern delineated
an infinite network fretted

00:02:21.480 --> 00:02:23.790 align:middle line:84%
with resemblance
to the swift bee

00:02:23.790 --> 00:02:28.020 align:middle line:90%
wings of the honey priestesses.

00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:32.805 align:middle line:84%
Intoxicated on meli chloron,
they spoke in tongues.

00:02:32.805 --> 00:02:37.910 align:middle line:90%


00:02:37.910 --> 00:02:40.520 align:middle line:84%
The shrill nymphs
hummed and swarmed in

00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:45.470 align:middle line:84%
huddled confusion, green
honey glistening on their lips

00:02:45.470 --> 00:02:47.950 align:middle line:90%
as they cast the stones.

00:02:47.950 --> 00:02:49.135 align:middle line:90%
