Reply: Item #3050829 from URTH at LISTS.BEST.COM@INET00#
(My holiday plan was the lesser rather than the longer we had
originally planned--so I'm back already!)
alga,
TS as a live performance would be a riot--and a welcome change from "The Nutcracker Suite" seeing as how it is seasonal!
Meanwhile, back to the play "Eschatology & Genesis" (hereafter E&S).
It seems to me that there are at least two main scenes left to be seen: the deluge itself and the genesis. (What about the "eschatology" or judgement scene? Tricky question. Normally we think of eschatology as the final judgement, after death; but in a sense a judgement was made and the deluge is the sentence! However, URTH OF THE NEW SUN clearly has a judgement scene on Yesod, if not all the weird things that happen on ship Tzadkiel--covering a catalogue of heresies and legends surrounding the crucifixion of Jesus. But since that happens out of Briah's time frame, where to place it within a play? Before the flood? After the flood? During the flood--i.e., those who survive are "chosen"?)
Basically what has to happen is: the flood erases civilization; the
New Sun arrives to take the place of the Old Sun; a new agreement is worked out with the Moon; Angelic Beings explain stuff to Adam and Eve, either the judgement itself, and/or the relation of humans to the Increate, and/or how to grow crops, build huts, and other civilization jump starts. (To make it extra cyclical, the play should end with Adam being crowned as the first Autarch of Ushas!)
