Well she's obviously sp/sx but she starts on top of the arid mountain looking to the city in the horizon, so she comes with her so/sp trail under her and she has to get back to society. Then she discovers the secret history in the vault, the sacred writings, and at 1'22" she gestates AS the mountain right after heading off as a warrior to the city. And then...

Out of the writing in the vault emerged an image of ancient royalty. The meeting with the purple and gold sun and her bleeding from the eyes is sx/so both as crucifixion (what you might call 'taking one for the team') and also as royalty.

Anyway I thought of it more as a flying dinosaur like a pteradactyl than a dragon and I thought it came out of the building but it doesn't. It comes out of the sky but it alights on a building. She started off with a red area or jewel where her heart is and at this point her heart is way open and she submits to this beast. Then for the second time she seems to have these visions of having known or been many different people.

But what I really wanted to get at is that the flying lizard alights on a building, communes with her, leaves her astonished, and then flies off into the vanishing point. Where originally the highest building of the city could be seen on the horizon we end with the wind beast flying off into the dark vanishing point.

And the reason I see it as a flying dinosaur more than a dragon is because the Voice really is that old.

And this is especially true for sp/sx and what Once in a Lifetime also turns out to be about. To go back into our historical past is also to go into our pre-historic, and also pre-human life. The experience and embodiment of life as such is the counterflow.

So these are clips from a video game called Lineage 2.

The creator of the video had such a feel for all this but I assume only had so much footage at their disposal, and if they had made the images it would be an even more complete story of moving through the stacks of the counterflow.

Okay...hmmm....so it isn't really the tallest building at the beginning, it's a cross.

Then later we see she has a cross on her back with wings.

And you're absolutely right, we can still see the flying beast, it's just that it's very small and dark going into the dark clouds but it's not really quite at the vanishing point, it's just obscured.

But anyway she comes to us in her vixen, animal-like sp/sx 'demonish' state with her Pan ears, undergoes a solar crucifixion sx/so, and in the end is purified so/sp.

But she already entered with the so/sp trail (standing on mountain, apart, gazing from mountain to erected civilizing structures).

Hmmm...yes, I see it and I get it. Certainly a difference between this (Sp/Sx's practicing "magick") and say, the Sp/So's in the here-and-now harvesting and building big businesses and chanting 'Trump!', so to speak.

I don't like to draw a sharp distinction.

You'll always find synflow people who seem cf and vice versa, also different people at different times of their lives. And some people are notoriously hard to stack.

But yeah, the 'dark elves' of Lineage 2 are clearly sp/sx and Trump's people cheering wildly every time he said MLK and Lincoln at Mount Rushmore I called a 'petting zoo'. They were definitely sp/so 'animals'. It baffles me how so much hatred can be mustered toward this cute species of human,
