Quote:Whether the author simply stumbled on these connection, or whether they arose as he indicated, or even via another source he decided not to reference, remains a mystery.
The book for me is just one big problem after another. Take this for example:
Quote:The 11 could also be seen as symbolizing the Twin Towers, which were themselves powerful modern versions of the ancient Pillars of Hermes.(@ 917 Kindle version)
I quickly jumps from the it could be taken to that's the way it is. It could be and then here's what is next:
Quote:The Twin Towers were not only modern concrete-and-steel re-creations of the famed Pillars of Hermes, but also symbolically marked the boundary between this realm and the nextbetween our world and that of the dead. Associated with the crossing of boundaries, Hermes, also the god of doorways, was a fitting psychopomp, or conductor of the dead to the Underworld, as he was knowna role that was certainly invoked on 9/11. (@ 927-30)
It just goes on and on in this vain. And for me, the key is that the Twin Towers were indeed seen by the the perps as occult symbols. There of course is no way to prove this. And absent this, the whole thing is nothing but a house of cards. Your point about sources is important and of course there are none -- that he is willing to reveal.
Your point regarding the Baphotmet I just do not see as relevant to Bain's book. He just need's to get a goat in the story line somehow to complete the narrative of the black mass and My Pet Goat is the only way he can do it. Weak.
David, I recognize that you think this book has something important to say despite the fact that it is a bridge too far -- if not more. I just don't see it, yet.
