ब्रह्म का द्वार


 
All down the ages there have been stories of fairies, 
gnomes, mermaids, naiads and fabled characters are galore.
 
The ancient Norsemen, Dutch, Huns and all the 
oriental races possess literature prolific with allegories, 
parables and fables built around the wonders and physical 
and chemical operations of the human body. 
 
The birth of the monthly seed is the basis of the 
Mother Goose Stories and similar tales in all lands. 
 
Santa Claus, or Saint Nicholas
 — the patron saint of seafarers, 
virgins and children
 — is the bearer of gifts to children on Christmas eve. 
 
Of all festivals celebrated all over the known world, 
that held in honour of Santa Claus ranks as first in the hearts of all humanity, old as well as young. This in itself is a most significant fact. 
 
It is time that the truth regarding this age-long 
custom be made known to the world, time that its real 
and true significance is understood. Then will it be truly 
celebrated, for it will have become an inward process, as 
well as an outward observation. 
 
Parents, from time immemorial, have explained to 
their children that the presents which they found in their 
stockings, when they jumped eagerly from their beds in 
the morning, were placed there by a mysterious person 
called "Santa Claus." No one saw him come, no one 
saw him leave, but he left unmistakable evidence of his 
visit. 
 
Some children ask many questions about this 
mysterious "person," and when they become too insistent 
the ingenuity of parents is sorely taxed to give satisfactory 
answers. There comes a time, however, when they must 
have the Santa Claus "myth" explained to them, and it is 
then that their deep childlike trust and confidence in their 
parents receive its first shock. Thereafter they commence 
to doubt their parents, to question their veracity,
and many tears have been shed, because, after all, Santa 
was not a "really, truly person." 
 
THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS, IT IS A PHYSIOLOGICAL FACT, 
and IT does "SECRETE" the most 
holy and wonderful gift" or substance in the body of 
every individual. Those who understand it who receive 
it in the right spirit have "Become as little children." 
 
"As above, so below." As in the Macrocosm, 
the universe, so in the microcosm-man. 
 
Can anyone think for one moment that the parables, 
fables, allegories and myths that have come down to us through the ages have no basic foundation? They, as well as the fast days and feast days, are founded on great esoteric truths. Otherwise, they would have ceased to be. 
 
The Great Hierarchy that rules the Universe see to 
it that nothing is forgotten that needs to be remembered. 
 
Santa Claus, or Saint Claus, is derived from the same 
root word as "claustrum," from which "cloister" is also 
derived. Claustrum means a barrier, a covered place, seclusion. 
The Cloister is referred to as a place of seclusion, 
and more especially as a place of seclusion for something 
holy, something dedicated to divinity. 
 
There is a Saint Claus, or Claustrum within the cerebrum, 
and whoever gave it that name knew why they did so. 
 
The suture of the skull is the point where the bones meet. We can very easily see this place on the head of 
infants, as the sections are not then drawn closely together, 
and the vibrations of the brain can be both seen and felt. 
 
In Sanscrit, this is called "The Door of Brahm," for it is the aperture through which the Ego, or Spirit leaves the body. It is also the chimney of Santa Claus. 
The vertebrae as a whole are called the "stick of Brahm." 
 
Directly underneath the "door of Brahm" is a triangular-shaped body named in physiology the "Island of 
Reil." This is the place where "John" was when "he" 
looked back and saw the wonderful vision of the regenerated
 man in the "Isle of Patmos" This island is the 
central lobe of the cerebrum, and is also called the Pole;
hence, the Island of Reil is the North Pole of the body, 
and is, as we well know, the imperishable, sacred land. 
 
In Santee's anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, we 
find that this island is "situated in the medial wall of 
the lateral fissure of the cerebrum, between the frontal, 
parietal and temporal lobes, whose growth, after the fifth 
month in utero gradually covers it over. At the end of 
the first year of extrauterine life, it is entirely concealed 
by temporal, parietal and frontal parts of the operculum" 
cover or lid. Thus we see that Mother Nature has 
taken great pains to conceal this sacred centre. 
 
Underneath this island, and directly in a line with the 
Optic Thalamus lies the Claustrum but separated from it 
by yet three other bodies. 
 
The claustrum is a thin sheet of isolated gray matter, 
found just medial to the Island of Reil. Santee says it 
"is a sheet of peculiar gray substance, and is made up of 
fusiform (spindle-shaped) cell-bodies." It is from this 
claustrum that contains yellow substance within its outer 
grayish exterior, that the wonderful, priceless OIL is 
formed that flows down into the olivary fasciculus, "descending 
with the rubrospinal tract through the reticular 
formation in the pons and medulla to the lateral column 
of the spinal cord. It terminates in the gray matter of 
the spinal cord, probably giving off collaterals to corresponding 
nuclei in the brain stem." Santee. This is 
the OIL, the precious gift of which the Bible speaks, 
"Thou anointest my head with oil." 
 
And not only is there oil manufactured within this 
special laboratory of the brain, but there is actually an
olive tree, which bears actual olives so named in any 
anatomy. The two olives are two infinitesimal eminences 
on either side of the medulla, with the Pyramid between. 
 
They are a one-half inch in length. It is found well developed only in the higher mammals. They are RELAY 
(Santee) stations between the cerebrum and the cerebellum 
and between the spinal cord and the cerebellum. 
 
This oil is the most sacred substance in the body it 
is the quintessence of gold the "Gold of Ophir" most 
truly a rare gift. Globules of oil are found in the vital 
fluid, the semen, and when the prodigal son has wasted
his substance, he finds that it takes a long time to replace 
the deficiency and make good the looted bank account. 
 
This wonderful oil is the secret work of the immaculate 
Virgin, Mary (or Mare) "represented by the sign Virgo. 
In chemistry, we find that sulphate of potassium is the mineral salt, which, uniting with sulphur and oxygen, 
manufactures the oil. We find that this salt also crystallizes out from the mother-liquors of seawater and salt springs. People born under the sign Virgo, if they have become deficient in this salt suffer from dryness of the skin, and baldness. We can also understand why draining of the vital fluid - living in excesses, will also produce baldness. If there were no oil in the body, the skin would become harsh and dry. 
 
The story of the wise virgins who had their lamps trimmed and filled with oil is given to emphasize the necessity for the presence of oil in the body, for they cannot go out to meet the "bridegroom" unless their lamps are burning. "The lamb is the lamp thereof." 
 
The olives, which contain the oil, are the reservoirs 
the relay stations, of course, which furnish the oil for the 
lamp, the pineal gland, at the top of which is the flame or 
eye. When the Kundalini, the serpent fire that lies concealed 
within the sacral plexus is awakened, burns up the 
dross within the spinal cord, and reaches the conarium, 
it sets fire to this oil and thus lights the "perpetual lamp," 
which "Gives the light to the whole house." 
 
Santa Claus is thus the giver of the supreme gift in 
the human body, the oil for the perpetual lamp the gold 
of Ophir, the quintessence of richness. 
 
A total lack of oil in the body will, in itself, cause 
death. 
 
Santa Claus brings his gifts when the Christ-mass is 
celebrated. 
 
The Greek characters that stand for Christ are X P I, 
and the word itself (Christ) means oil, in Greek. The seed is the bread of life, and when anointed with oil 
(Christed and crucified) become the Christ-mass the bread, eaten in the Father's Kingdom.
 
Thus we now clearly understand the meaning of Santa 
Claus and his Christmas visit with gifts to the children.

 

God-Man: The Word Made Flesh, George W. Carey

There is a Santa Claus and it is in the Cerebrum of every individual's brain. This is called the 'Door of Brahm' in Sanscrit. It is the door where the Spirit enters and exits the body. It is also the 'chimney' of Santa Claus; it is the North Pole of the body, which is why Santa brings gifts from the North pole. The Claustrum is a thin sheet of isolated gray matter in the centre of the brain. It is from this claustrum that the precious oil, Christos, or Chrism, is formed. It flows from this holy land, the land flowing with milk and honey, through the medulla oblongata and down the spinal cord to the sacrum. This is the oil, the precious gift of which the bible speaks in Psalm 23:5 when it reads, "thou anointest my head with oil". This oil is the most precious, sacred substance in the body. It is truly a priceless gift. 


Once, sometimes twice, a month after the onset of puberty, when the moon is in your sun sign, there is a seed born in the solar plexus, the 'manger', the house of bread, or Bethlehem. This seed is our saviour. This seed goes on a divine journey through our bodies in our blood, and bodily fluids, to regenerate and redeem us from our 'sins', or dis-ease. It is through this holy oil secreted from the Claustrum, and differentiated in the pineal and pituitary glands, (Joseph and Mary) that this sacred seed is carried throughout the body. (This is also the story of Christ within us.) The pineal gland is the masculine, electrical energy, is connected to the Pingala nerve, and produces the 'honey' like a portion of the oil. The pituitary gland is the feminine, magnetic energy, is connected to Ida's nerve, and produces the 'milk' like a portion of the oil. Both are necessary to carry the seed from the birthplace in the solar plexus, up to Calvary, the place of the skull, where the crucifixion will take place. (The Pingala and Ida's nerves are what raise and lower the kundalini and kundabuffer energy up and down the spine.) The journey of this oil, carrying the precious seed through our body, is a dangerous one. Many things we do can destroy the oil and kill the seed. The seven deadly sins must be turned into vices to preserve this oil and receive its gracious gifts that will regenerate the blood and heal the dis-ease within the body. We must work to reverse the natural tendency we all have for wrath, greed, lust, sloth, envy, gluttony, and pride. These traits are hard-wired into our brains for they served us once when we were less spiritually developed, but now they must be overcome; and, we overcome these tendencies when we practice peace, generosity, purity of intent, courage, compassion/love, temperance, and humility. These traits become easier over time if we sit in mediation every day. Chanting will also increase our ability to conquer these demons if we do it every day. Chanting AUM while in meditation is like a meditation on steroids! It gets your body in a perfect state to receive inspiration flowing from the Divine.

Jesus was not the 'saviour' until he hung on the cross, so too with the Chrism carrying the sacred seed. It must die on the cross and sit in its tomb to be resurrected and then ascend to its 'father', the pineal gland. Once the son returns to the father, they become one. The Christos, oil, or Sacred Secretions, gives this seed the electro-magnetic power it needs for it to safely cross the nerves at 'Golgotha'. This is needed so the seed will not disintegrate, and the oil can return home unharmed. To crucify means to add to, or to increase a thousandfold; when the seed crosses the vagus nerve at the medulla oblongata it is crucified, Christed, and this life-giving seed gets the power to vibrate the pineal gland at a rate that causes the 'whole body to fill with light'. It is this process which allows us to say, as did Jacob, I have seen 'God' face to face, and my life is preserved. For in Genesis 32:30 we read, "And, Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." The pineal gland, or 'Pinnacle of the temple' means the transmutation of animal desires. By saving this sacred seed, crucifying it at 'Golgotha', and returning it to the Pineal gland, we can be made anew by conquering our animal desires and turning vices into virtues. In Romans 12:2 Paul says, "....but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to discern what is good, pleasing, and the perfect will of God." The mind, the brain, is renewed by each seed that makes it to the pineal gland, with the accompanying oil every month, and each time we successfully do this, it gets easier and easier to do again. The process builds on its self, giving you better blood to work with each month you are aware of this process going on within you. And one of the biggest benefits of being consciously aware that this process is happening inside of you is the undeniable inspiration from the Divine that will easily, and noticeably, flow to you. Your life will change in many ways, but one way that will be very easy to recognize is the signs of synchronicity that continually come to you. You will be in the flow of 'Life' like you have never experienced before; and for me, my body has healed so many things I never thought would be possible to heal. I have completely transformed my body. Two years ago I was living with chronic lower back pain, and I thought this was how I would live for the rest of my life. Today, I can run again, do aerobics, yoga, sit on the floor with my grandkids, and best of all, I have little to no pain afterwards. I love the way my body feels now, and I just turned 50! I am in much better shape, all things considered, then when I turned 40 and had no knowledge of this process. I am forever grateful I started studying the Essences, the occult, and the untold life of Jesus, which lead me to the truth about Jesus, the Chrism, and 'Santa Claus'!


The truth is that the birth of this monthly seed which is in all of us, and its monthly journey through the body, is the basis of many nursery rhymes, fairy tales, fables, religious stories like the ten virgins, Jacob, Moses, Abraham, and Jesus the Christ, just to name a few; and, it is most definitely the story of Santa Claus! Santa Claus is just like the priceless oil we secrete each month, no one sees it come and no one sees it leave, but there is unmistakable evidence of its visit! The good news is that 'Santa' doesn't come just once a year if you understand the story. This glorious process happens every month, sometimes twice a month depending on the moon, and with its visit, each month comes a chance to change, to renew, and to transform your life for the better if you will only preserve the precious ointment of which we all are anointed.


This is a small glimpse of the greatest story available to mankind. Experienced daily, but unknown to many, the same drama unfolds on all major layers of holographic nature: atomically, physically, mentally, spiritually and on planetary/universal level and on all time frames (second, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, lifetimes and ages). The information is too large to grasp and too complex to put into words, thus the revelation of a simple, well-known myth may help to understand. Along with the searching and reflecting on this myth, everything else will follow by itself and I shall be able to climb an amazing wall of ancient knowledge, which has been lost, but not forgotten.

knowledge (fire) enters and exits matter (mater, water)

The myth reveals occult anatomy and the true nature of man, the universal power of mysteries and of myth itself and it proves beyond any doubt that we live today in the mental ruins of the ancient knowledge, not even knowing what it is that we lost and why we should have a need to get it back. This myth connects to the greatest story never told, which is the greatest story of all ages because the story itself is not just a story and it is not just “great”, but the “greatest”, because there can be nothing even remotely comparable to it. It is the only story that can be told by humanity and which has been told throughout the ages in thousands of different forms, languages and styles. This master story is omnipresent in the world today, right in front of our eyes, in plainest sight, yet it lies concealed in deepest mysteries, carefully hidden from profanity by wise priests, protecting this information, guarding it against destruction and alterations, preserving it for eternity, making it incorruptible, preserving its divine truth, making it available only for the honest seeker. With the right mental toolkit available, I shall be able to decode all ancient myth, all fables, all fairy tales, scriptures and all Hollywood movies. There is a mother of all stories, a final boss of awakening, a highest mystical revelation, a key to the All.

So, Santa Claus is real and does exist, not just exist in myth, in imagination or in the mind. He physically exists and does bring presents to all children. He does live at the North pole, he is helped by many elves, he has a sleigh that is pulled by 8 reindeer, he does know our wishes and he does bring toys or coal down the chimney. And he is closely linked to what we today call “Christmas”. The nice side effect, upon the reception of the key to this wonderful myth, is that it can automatically solve the dilemma on how to communicate to children in a way that allows them to develop and cultivate the highest way of human understanding. Should we tell our children, that Santa is just a myth? After all, finding out, that mom and dad really bring the presents can be quite a disappointment for a child, and it doesn’t feel right lying to children in the first place, does it? Or should we uphold the myth as long as possible, so as not to disturb the romantic childhood? The answer to this dilemma is, that we can do both, because Santa does exist and he doesn’t, both is true. Children love to learn the truth, and they openly accept a dual, seemingly paradox answer as the one above, because they are still in the right brain/holistic thinking. The great benefit of studying the below scientific facts will be that the right brain can also be developed and start to understand myth/scriptures.

The highest knowledge of humanity, condensed in 12 symbols

Living the ritual of Christmas/Santa Claus today may be compared with a dance seen by a deaf man who does not hear the music to which the motion is timed and who has no clue about the characters who are performing°. This is because, in our times, the myth has moved too far out of view. The ridiculous eschatology discussions (end times, heaven, hell, death, rebirth, etc.) of today are driven by a profound lack of proper education. It is not only that people today don`t know — they have also been trained to be unaware about their own ignorance and when they do become aware there is also some mechanism in place to make them feel scared. Eschatological rituals, such as Christmas, can only be comprehended through understanding myth. The myth alone may break mind control.

Let us check — and scientifically explain — elements of the Santa Claus myth:

  • ·         Santa lives at the North pole
  • ·         He is sometimes said to live on an island
  • ·         8 (later 9) reindeer pull his sledge
  • ·         He is surrounded and assisted by numerous elves
  • ·         He enters the chimney and brings toys (or coal)
  • ·         He knows the wishes of all children
  • ·         He is closely linked to Christmas

To understand this myth, we must look to the inside, and get acquainted with (occult) brain anatomy:

The red arrow points to Santa Claus

The Claustrum (Santa Claus) is located (lives) in the human head as part of the Cortex, which is at the very top (north pole) of the body. It is also origin of the term "Cloister" (German: Kloster), the place where monks and nuns go to live a secluded life and study scriptures.

white matter, "snow"

The Claustrum is surrounded by White Matter (snow) in the brain. Directly next to it can be found the External and the Extreme Capsule, which resemble a sleigh:

Santa`s sleigh

In the lateral view, The Claustrum is located below the Insular Cortex (Island).

Santa`s Island on the North Pole

It is also lateral to the Putamen (“consideration” — Latin putare: "to consider, to think"), which is symbolized by the red cap that is worn by Santa Claus: 

Santa`s cap

The Putamen is connected to the Substantia Nigra (Latin: "black substance", coal), which is involved in the process of regulating reward and addictions and appears dark because it contains high levels of Neuromelanin.

If Santa brings coal, one must have been naughty

A unique feature of the Claustrum is that there is a uniformity in the function of its cells, all Neurons do the same work (Elves help Santa).

Moving deeper and correlating anatomy to astrology and to scripture (as above, so below, as within, so without): the Claustrum is sagittally (anatomical term of location, in the direction from dorsal to ventral, cf: Sagittarius) located in the Cerebrum, and mythical Santa Claus appears in the night between Sagittarius (Horse) and Capricorn (goat), the night of the rebirth of the sun, as it reaches its lowest point on the horizon (winter solstice). After the night of Christmas, the days start getting longer again, it is the moment of the spiritual rebirth of life on earth (nature does not yet expand visibly, but days are getting longer again). This is why Santa Claus is riding a goat (Capricorn is the sea-goat or zygote) on this old postcard: 

Nordic Yulegoat — pure astrology 

The suture of the skull (ब्रह्मरंध्र Sanskrit Brahmarandhra "Door of Brahm,") is the external entry point (chimney) of the planetary Santa Claus/Christ, where he enters the head (rooftop). The internal chimney is the human spine. The Claustrum releases an oily substance (Christ, greek: Christos "oil", Manna* from heaven), which is a secretion (a secret/a mystery) that is used as basic material by the Pineal Gland (Joseph, father of Christ) to secrete a yellow substance (honey) to the Pingala (electric,陽 male energy channel) and the Pituitary Gland (Mary, mother of Christ) to secrete a white substance (milk) to the Ida (magnetic, 陰 female energy channel).

The land of milk & honey

The oily substance (Christos) moves down the spine (chimney, River Jordan) to the Solar Plexus (Bethlehem, “House of Bread", of the Virgin”, Virgo). Here the oil is transformed into a psycho-spiritual seed (Ichthys, fish, Ictus, Jesus, Pisces) which then moves (swims) through the body (ocean, a body of water containing saline fluid: human blood & seawater are chemically nearly identical). 

The first internal biological process (miracle) the seed (Jesus) performs is to transform water and oxygen (spirit, breath, the holy ghost) into red cell “living” blood (wine) during the chemical fusion (wedding) in the lungs (Cana) which are connected to the blood circular system (Galilee). The psycho-spiritual seed (sun, fish, Jesus) later descends to the Sacrum (Kreuzbein = “cross bone”, Holy bone, the archetype of the “devil”, ruled by Saturn, “Satan” an anagram of "Santa", Capricorn), the deepest point in the sun`s journey (坎 [29] abyss, hell)

The Sacrum - a reddish bone, the archetype of the "devil"

On the dangerous and difficult way back to the head (promised land, heaven, Israel) the seed (chosen one, messiah [Biblical Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ‎ (māšîaḥ, “anointed”)], hero figure, Horus**कृष्ण (kṛṣṇá) Krishna) must now try to leave the lower, animal body (Egypt, Sodom & Gomorrha), defeat animal (sexual) desire (Pharao, Judas, Scorpius), cross the blood barrier (Red Sea) and climb the spine (Jacob`s ladder), which has 33 vertebrae (Masonic 33 degrees) to a place in the skull (Golgotha) where the Vagus Nerve (Tree of Life)/Cerebellum & spine cross each other (cross). Here the seed is electrically charged (離 [30] crucified), before it can head further up to the centre of the Cerebrum (heaven).

Jacob`s ladder, where angels (electrical impulses) move up and down

Jacob ("supplanter", "holder of the heel" = Adam Kadmon, the Cabalist man on Zodiac wheel) has his head on the stone (Petrus), the rock on which the Christian church was founded. The Jew Peter, which is Jupiter, ruler of the Age of Pisces.

It should now become clear that, in a Hermetic sense, during Christ`s mass (Khemet: Kresh Mes, Greek: Christos “oil”) within the body, the internal sun/son is reborn, just as the external sun is reborn at the winter solstice. Illumination works through a conscious, spiritual transformation from the lower mind (He Phren) to the higher mind (Iesous), the human body can be compared to a "lamp" (wordplay: lamb) belonging to god (wordplay  gad= tribe of Aries, “arise” at Vernal Equinox) and when this lamp is ignited by the process described above (exoterically at the vernal equinox, esoterically at Passover), the gray matter (the dead) will be activated (reborn).

"Thou anointest my head with oil." The wise virgins now trim the wicks of their lamps and fill it with oil, before they meet their bridegroom.

The seed then remains 1 moon sign in a skull cavern (3 days in the tomb) and after three days proceeds upwards (ascends) to the Pineal (compare to Winter Solstice). Masonic (Masonry encapsulates the same information as Christianity in a different set of myth and symbols) Hiram Abif has thus created a "stone for the temple builders", a stone without the mark of the animal man (mark of Beast).

If repeated, the older, destroyed seeds/stones can also be reactivated (the dead shall rise) and at some stage, the electrical energy of the Sacrum (kundalini) is activated and the Queen of 7/ Sheba may rise to the Optic Thalamus (all-seeing eye) and reactivate the Pineal (third eye), the "eye becomes single and the body is full of light". Thus, it is to give 10% (consciousness, left brain hemisphere, Mercury) to receive 100% (right brain, dark matter of the brain, unconscious, right brain hemisphere, Venus) and be part of the order of Mel-chi-tsadiq*** (black-energy-righteous person, from Hebrew מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק‎ (Malki-tsédek) which literally means “righteousness is my king”). The universe, just like the human brain, contains 90% dark matter: as without, so within.

The serpent Mesi (mes, mas) represented the Gnostic Christ (solar energy active through the miniature sun in the earth centre through the human "heart" - the heart of the brain is the Pineal). It consists of 7 souls (planets, colours, musical notes, chakras, cities, churches) + Iesous² = 8. Now it becomes clear, why Santa's sledge is pulled by 8 reindeer – the sledge is pulled by the Egyptian Ogdoad. The Vatican shows you this in the form of a white dove. Nothing new under the sun!

The Ogdoad is pulling the Capsules of the Claustrum

Santa Claus is thus the giver of the most supreme, divine gift in the human body, the raw material for the oil in the lamp of the magic genie.

Hereby the Vatican genealogy for the "Newest Testament" is completed with the identification of Santa Claus as the grandfather of Jesus!

Why "X"-mas? The Vagus Nerve is cranial nerve N° 10 (roman X). He is one of the elders before the throne.


° In 1813 the influential writer Anne Louise Germaine de Staël published the work “De l’Allemagne” in French. The English title was “Germany”, and in 1814 an excerpt was printed in “The Universal Magazine”. Madame de Staël envisioned herself watching a ballroom filled with dancers, and she imagined her reaction if she had been unable to hear the music:

"… sometimes even in the habitual course of life, the reality of this world disappears all at once, and we feel ourselves in the middle of its interests as we should at a ball, where we did not hear the music; the dancing that we saw there would appear insane."

This figurative language was employed powerfully to illustrate an episode of dissociation. Madame de Staël was temporarily alienated from the normal rush of living, and the actions of those around her seemed purposeless and absurd.

1814 April, The Universal Magazine, “On the Moravian Mode of Worship by Madame De Stael [From her ‘Germany’]”, Start Page 296, Quote Page 296, Column 2, Printed for Sherwood, Neely, and Jones, London.
Anne Louise Germaine de Staël wrote also Jane Gray (tragédie en cinq actes et en vers), 1787 (publié en 1790).

The prominent French philosopher Henri Bergson published a series of three essays about laughter in the periodical “Revue de Paris”. The combined essays were published in 1900, and an English translation was released in 1911. In the following excerpt, dancers were depicted as “ridiculous” without sound: 

"Now step aside, look upon life as a disinterested spectator: many a drama will turn into a comedy. It is enough for us to stop our ears to the sound of music in a room, where dancing is going on, for the dancers at once to appear ridiculous. How many human actions would stand a similar test?"

"We rarely hear the inward music,
but we’re all dancing to it nevertheless,
directed by the one who teaches us,
the pure joy of the sun,
our music master."

*** መልከ ጼዴቅ malkī-ṣeḏeq Chazalic literature — specifically Targum Jonathan, Targum Yerushalmi & the Babylonian Talmud — presents the name מלכי־צדק as a nickname title for Shem, the son of Noah.
In Christianity, according to the Epistle to the Hebrews, Jesus Christ is identified as "High priest forever in the order of Melchizedek", and so Jesus assumes the role of High Priest once and for all.
It is speculated that the story of Melchizedek is an informal insertion into the narration, possibly inserted to give validity to the priesthood and tithes connected with the Second Temple. It has also been conjectured that the suffix Zedek may have been or become a reference to a Canaanite deity worshipped in pre-Israelite Jerusalem
μέλας (mélasblack) + 氣 (Qì, "vital energy; life force") + צדק (Jupiter, righteousness, from the root צ־ד־ק‎ (TZ-d-q) — the verb is in the pa`al conjugation — the planet being named after the Phoenician god Sydyk, whom the Romans equated with the god Jupiter. Thus, it is a calque of sorts of the Roman name for the planet).

²  Ἰησοῦς (Iēsoûs), from Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ‎ (Yēšûaʿ): The Hellenized form of the Semitic proper name roughly equivalent to Ἰησοῦ (Iēsoû) +‎ -ος (-os); Hellenic case suffixes added to an approximated Greek literal phonetic rendering of Aramaic יֵשׁוּע‎ (Yēšū́ʿ, “Jesus”) and Biblical Hebrew יֵשׁוּעַ‎ (Yēšū́a, “Jesus” or “Joshua”), a syncopated relative of Biblical Hebrew יְהוֹשֻׁעַ‎ (Yĕhōšúa, “Joshua”); ultimately can be traced to Paleo-Hebrew primitive root Biblical Hebrew 𐤉𐤔𐤏‎ (y-š-ʕ, “to deliver, save”).
