In addition to my comment on the previous video in this series. - Blakes take on Good and Evil - Passive and active, is completly in alignment with Shiva and Shakti in Tantra. being that Shakti - the divine feminine - divine energy - manifestation - is in his works aligned with the fires of creativity. Whereas Shiva - point of conciousness, passive aspect, is the "unthinking" heaven - or divine masculine aspect. So interesting to hear your commentary and understanding from the biblical aspect. Bravo! 33 - is also the frequency of christ conciousness.
You were brave to take up the challenge of this text, but you are definitely adding clarity to it. Excellent.

Thanks, Robert!
Beautiful! I am so glad to find your channel out, at the end of 2023! I don't know anything about classical British/American poetry. I feel so nourrished on another level while listening to you. I am opening a new year full of beauty thanks to you. 😍 Am I the only one to keep wondering how does it sound when read from the end!
Yes, brilliant reading. I think Blake objected to Swedenborg because he attempted to systematize the Bible: His hierarchies of devils and angels. The bible is not a manual. Blake is the prophet of the New Age and he is setting himself against Swedenborg (Heaven) .
Brilliant! Thank you.
Thanks!
