Re: Dan Brown's~ Lost Symbol

Mal`akh
Practitioner of the Dark Art
His quest
seeker of the Ancient Mysteries
for transformation through enlightenment?

An entity who's either lost its soul~ or just a ruthless sinister rogue?

The polarity of negative and positive~
Does the means justify the end?
Transformation requiries sacrifice~
"Mal`akh knew that achieving immortality required a clean break with the material world of male and female.
The androgyne is one" (TLS 324).
Today, eunichs are shunned, but during ancients times, it was accepted and understood; In denying oneself the pleasures of the flesh~ through this drastic sacrifice, for the sake of achieving the kingdom of heaven.
