     The 12 Labors of Hercules

     V

     The Warning

     "Slay that Bull!"

     Defy the Rising Tide of the World Hatred of the Mother and Defeat It!

     Whether there be yesterdays or todays or tomorrows, the I AM THAT I AM that is real about thee and in thee shall endure forever and forever. Let thy soul go free, free from the sense of struggle with self and other selves. Now drift into the arms of everlasting Love and know [that] the Presence is thy Keeper always.1 The Presence is the Keeper of thy flame, thy flame of self-knowing and inner knowing.

     Thus, Saint Germain did name his fraternity after the I AM Presence, the Keeper of the Flame of Life on earth. His goal was to see the many take up the torch and be the mirror image of the Keeper of the Flame, as Above so below.

     Therefore you have kept the flame of your Mighty I AM Presence for my coming and I am grateful. I am grateful for the fervor of hearts that does truly appreciate the [urgent need for the] clearing of the astral plane.

     Beloved ones, for the dissolution of astral forms and vortices, you have developed a momentum in giving your calls to Astrea.2 Now I will tell you that as a master of invocation on Atlantis, I was shown by my great mentor how the invocation of Light and the release of fohat could dissolve not only astral impurities and thoughtforms and records in the subconscious of a planet but also lethal weapons already physical and their effects of mass destruction. Thus you have been told that the concentrated energy of the violet flame could dissolve incoming warheads.3

     Now know this, beloved: to develop adeptship as you are developing it, to know that you are on a path of God Self-mastery in the mastery of the Word for the dissolution with Lord Shiva of those things that never should have been on the astral plane [is gratifying indeed; for] in this service you are [in the process of] removing one-quarter of the manifestation of substance, of karma, and of all manner of unclean and foul things. In this course [at Maitreya's Mystery School], therefore, the goal is to arrive at the place where you can stand between humanity and grave physical danger, even in the deliveries of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.4

     Know, beloved, that the violet flame and the sacred fire, as these are stored in the chakras and raised up, become a momentum of intensity; and you, under the tutelage of myself, my own mentor and other great Masters you know, may develop the skill, by the very practice in which you engage, to be able to be the instrument whereby through you and through your chakras Elohim and Archangels may dissolve diseases [and] plagues, as well as implements of war such as chemical [and biological weapons], even transmuting and dissolving the misuses of nuclear energy itself.

     This is the need of the hour. And because you have shown such diligence already, I come to give you a boost and not a knock. I come to show you that with a little bit more concentration and more reliance on the Christ entering your form and you becoming that Christ - in other words, you being the doer as much as you see yourself as the instrument - you can achieve a great deal more [in the] changing [of] physical conditions in the earth and even [in the] healing [of] the elements in the environment itself.

     The masters of invocation who have taught me, and taught me the release of Light, have shown that each side of the Great Pyramid [of self] must be mastered and each quadrant of Matter must become the target of your sendings of violet flame. To be able to dissolve records at the etheric level, to be able to dissolve phobias, fixations in the astral body, in the emotions, to be able to dissolve prejudices in the mind, this, beloved ones, is essential.

     Take, for instance, the dilemma of mass hatred of the Divine Mother. That hate and hate creation with its cause, effect, record and memory must be dissolved.

     Many legions of angels have come to your aid this night wielding the sword Excalibur. They enter the fray. Now you may step forth from these bodies after you take your rest this night and, according to the tutelage of the Lady Leto, in leaving those bodies you may become consciously aware of joining the legions of blue-lightning angels, fully armoured as they are. Consider this exercise a physical one though it take place in the etheric body. Visualize it as being physical. Prepare for it as you would physically prepare to go forth in the army of the Lord upon earth.

     Begin to see the etheric journey as one that is as concrete as all of the physical things you do. As thinking makes it so, it is key in your alchemy to accept all things as physically accomplished and not create by mental limitation a barrier to our lowering into your physical form the very things for which you call. Know, then, that your I AM Presence is able to deliver the full fiat of your invocations in the etheric, the mental, the emotional and the physical quadrants. Accept it done this hour in full power and do not limit your God!

     For now is the hour, beloved, when you receive the challenge through one of the oncoming labors of Hercules to turn back the Atlantean masses in the form of mob hatred against the Light. This is the hour when tangible, physical waves of violet flame may greet the oncoming charge of hate and hate creation, devouring it, stunning those who in one moment were beset by it and in the next have it seized from them.

     And those who are of the Light shall be healed and delivered. And those who are not [of the Light shall not be healed and delivered; for they] must be restrained by other legions of angels who would bind them ere they wreak havoc against the Community of the Lightbearers in all octaves, even in the etheric plane.

     We see, therefore, a vortex of Light that does increase. Let those who ensoul it and embody it know that as the Darkness rushes in to be consumed by the Light, to be returned to the Great Central Sun, [its misqualified energies] to be transmuted, so those who keep the flame for the Mighty I AM Presence on earth must beware of just how much of a reproach this Light is to those who do not espouse it. And therefore, they in their [Darkness], being blinded by the Light, would take up arms against it.

     When you have thoroughly studied at the Royal Teton Retreat the records of akasha played before you of many past ages when the Light was increased to this level, you will understand, beloved, that not only did that Light invoked by the Keepers of the Flame of that age bring in a golden age but it also brought about, in some instances, cataclysm and the very conditions that were necessary for the breaking up of karma and karmic conditions and the entrenchments of the sinister force.

     Therefore, those [of you] who embody such a Light must change your life-style and understand that [if you are] to go beyond this point [on the Path and] this point in time and space and [if you are] to continue to accelerate your calls, you must be warned. And I have been chosen to warn you, for the protection must be complete, the harmony must be deep and you may no longer behave as children, so easily allowing yourselves to become out of sorts, to grumble, to complain, to bicker, to dicker and to do all those things that are done in the marketplaces of life.

     Change is the need of the hour! Change you have called for. Cosmic councils deliberate in this very moment as to how many cosmic reinforcements and how much Light we may send, out of their concern as to whether or not you are ready to deal with the hatred of the Divine Mother that is the reaction on a planetary scale to that Light.

     Thus far you have seen that by religiously maintaining the full ninety-minute calls to Archangel Michael5 there has been sustained enormous protection [to the Church and the chelas]. As we have often said, it is difficult for you to see what protection has been given; for you do not know what has been averted, what has not come to pass, what has not touched you.

     Only a very small percentage of the malevolence has even come nigh thee,6 beloved, and this we have allowed [in order] to continue to challenge you, to continue to test your mettle, to continue to see to it that you do not become complacent by our overdefending you and our overtransmuting that [opposition to your soul's victory], of which you should taste at least some sips to realize how deadly and how serious unto the finish is the hatred of the forces of Darkness against the Light and all who embody it.

     Blessed ones, the hatred of the Light is not equaled anywhere except in the hatred of the Mother herself. For it is the Divine Mother on Lemuria and in all civilizations who has brought the teaching and the discipline for the Lightbearers whereby they have overcome and put down the fallen ones. It is the Divine Mother who has brought the judgment whereby the fallen ones have been bound. Therefore She comes as the Great Liberator of those yet lost in the sea of samsara.7

     Understand, therefore, that you have reached a labor, even the eighth.8 And as you move on to that number you will understand what is the meaning of the figure-eight flow. Preparing for it and the sealing of the Seventh Ray, you discover that this is the place of the confrontation and this is where the hatred of the Mother in her children, in her offspring, in her teaching and in the mighty judgment itself must come to the fore and must be dealt with by each and every one.

     For the world momentum of this energy, beloved, will not leave you as it has found you. Either you will turn it back [and] slay it as the right hand of Omega does place her hand over yours as you together hold the sword Excalibur of the Divine Mother, else in identifying with even a morsel or a crumb or a microscopic speck of it you will render yourself vulnerable to the whole of it and to the [negative] momentums upon the planet.

     Blessed ones, if there be cataclysm, if there be war, if there be the signs of the last plagues, let it be known that [these] shall come about for the utter eruption of the hatred of the Divine Mother from the bowels of the unconscious on a planetary scale. For the Lord God has said:

     This Darkness must be lanced in the earth that the children of the Mother and the sons and daughters of the Mother may move forward on their path of victory to the Sun.

     Nothing shall be allowed to stand in the way of this progress. Yet councils pause in this hour to determine if you are truly ready to maintain the vigil whereby nine-tenths of [this Darkness] can be consumed ere it harm yourselves and your families or the Lightbearers of the world. This is the equation, beloved.

     Unfortunately, the alternative does not set well because the alternative must be to maintain the status quo. The status quo of the moment is noted by a great onslaught of attack against the Church and a great invocation of Light to stay the hand of it.

     Thus a certain equilibrium is met. Such an equilibrium, beloved, is difficult to maintain; for the forces of Darkness are given, as it were, a reprieve and therefore they call in their reinforcements from many systems. [And] when they so do, they up the ante, as it were, and the Lightbearers find that out of necessity they must at all costs rise up higher [in their capacity to carry the Light].

     We would rather see the fullness of the Light descend to utterly devour and eliminate the ongoing war; but if we are to [call forth this dispensation], beloved, you must understand that you must become as initiates of Serapis Bey. And if you do not feel equal to that posture and calling, then you must know that [at the very least] your invocation must be constant to the seraphim of God to place their presence over you, each one, and to [sustain it] twenty-four hours a day. For in place of your own rising to the occasion, the overshadowing [of the angelic hosts] and the placing [over you] of the Electronic Presence of many beings of Light becomes an answer [to a pressing need of the hour].

     But, beloved ones, since the battle is physical and you are in the mire of the physical and the astral planes, when it comes [down] to it, the question that must be asked is: How long can you stand to have beings of greater Light and attainment overshadowing you before you find that their very presence does bring out the darkest elements [of yourselves] simply by [the function of the] Law itself and [by] a cosmic chemistry?

     It is not comfortable, beloved, for anyone to be stepped up beyond the level of his attainment for too long. This is why you receive the Light in increments. This is why you receive dictations and then go home and go about your business. For it is difficult to maintain the concentration [of Light], and the four lower bodies become saturated; for they can hold no more Light. For if more Light were to be given, the alchemy would begin to be experienced as pain and discomfiture and even a complication of the functioning of the physical body itself.

     The conclusion of the matter is this, beloved: the true and noble way to meet this crossroads, this crisis of cosmos that is taking place here [on earth], with you in the eye of the vortex, is to call for the acceleration of attainment by the acceleration of the path of initiation. And [if you make that call,] then [you must] be ready to welcome, to acknowledge, [and] to internalize those initiations, to pass your tests and to increase your desiring to keep the flame of your Mighty I AM Presence upon earth.

     [You must be ready] to keep the flame of your Holy Christ Self and to begin by being comfortable in the walk with your Holy Christ Self by calling once an hour for [your] Holy Christ Self to come into your temple [and] to balance and expand the threefold flame; [and then you must] feel that love and feel that joy [in order] to sustain it, maintain it and increase it.

     Blessed ones, we have seen past ages where the ability of souls of Light was not equal to or as sufficient as yours. It was far less though their hearts were on fire with devotion. They did not learn the mastery of the science of invocation that I have taught you directly and through my twin flame.

     Therefore, beloved, the hour did come when [the] world hatred of the Divine Mother [embodied by hordes of darkness] did overtake them, and such an example you have seen in Tibet.9 This is the consequence of devotees not having sponsorship from such as Saint Germain and others who have taught you the science of dynamic decrees. Therefore, [an event such as the Tibetan holocaust] is a scenario that you may consider to be in the realm of the possible [where the power of the spoken Word is not exercised to its fullest capacity].

     The forces of world hatred will mount, seeking to overtake and surpass in their own domain [on the left-handed path] the attainment of the Lightbearers. Underestimate them not. They have many ways and many means of moving against the Lightbearers and they always combine forces [against the Light] when threatened by the ultimate challenge.

     And so you see, beloved, it becomes truly a cosmic imperative to move forward when you have come thus far. Do you think the false hierarchy of other systems, the false hierarchy of other planetary spheres will stand by for long and watch millions of their agents be bound by the hosts of the Lord in answer to your call?

     I tell you nay. [Events] are therefore moving [quickly] to the confrontation [of the sons of Light and the sons of Darkness10] and even the final conflagration. They have nothing to lose, beloved, for they have already lost everything. But you have everything to lose as well as everything to gain.

     Therefore I come in the point of supreme realism, overshadowed by the Great Divine Director and his [simple yet all-encompassing] mantra: "I AM Real!" This realism ought to shake you from certain levels of unawareness and indulgence. Remember these two words.

     Unawareness. You should have, as it were, an electronic forcefield [as] a circumference around yourself, even the extension of the tube of light, a minimum of ten feet from your center and then beyond. And in the awareness of that forcefield that the tube of light does give you, you should know precisely the moment when thought or feeling of hate and hate creation does cross that line of your [tube of light and your] solar ring.11

     If you are not sensitive to this [trespassing across the boundaries of your forcefield], beloved, you are unaware. And the unaware [by definition] cannot complete their self-defense. Therefore they may be overtaken by thoughts and ideas, possibilities and plans inserted into [their] minds. And because they are unaware through absence of development of the threefold flame, they do not recognize that these thoughts and ideas are alien to their own Christ Flame and Christ Self.

     That solar ring is a ring-pass-not. And your keeping of the flame of your I AM Presence upon earth should be [manifest as] your will and your determination that flashes forth fire in all directions and does not allow any manifestation that is unlike the living Christ to penetrate, whether physical, astral, mental or etheric!

     Do you see, beloved? This is awareness, supreme self-awareness of the Great Reality and the Great Unreality and [of] the individual poised in the middle in the relative spheres of the real and the unreal. Self-awareness, then, is the only true self-defense. Unawareness invites the overcoming of [self by] the dark ones; for they await their moment, beloved. They await their moment to trap you.

     And I daresay that not one of you here can deny that sometime, somewhere in your lifetime you have been overtaken by situations, by involvements, by compromises that were very much alien to your True Self and identity. And yet, for that point of unawareness, you did not feel. Your powers of intuition were not heightened. You did not feel the violation of your circle of being, and the soul therefore was not guarded. And the soul therefore must learn lessons learned long, long ago again and again.

     And have you not said to yourselves, "Why did I let myself get into this situation all over again? I knew better. I know better."

     It is because of this, beloved - not only the unawareness of self but the unwillingness [of self], perhaps the laziness of the mind, the desire to be a part of a certain attitude of Western civilization [that desires to hear no evil, see no evil, think no evil, feel no evil and speak no evil, that is not willing] to properly assess the enemy [of the soul] that lurks in all octaves [and to stand, face, and conquer that enemy, no matter what]. For even the lowest [levels] of the etheric octave are vulnerable [to subtle intrusions by the dark forces].

     Therefore, beloved, unawareness is one [state of mind, or mindlessness] that will trip you [up] and the other [akin to it] is indulgence - indulgence of the old momentums because you are not aware of just how dangerous they are to your life and your progress. Indulgences of inharmony are costly beyond measure. And since you are chelas, yes, they are costly to you but they are [also] costly to your Guru - always. And while we are paying the price for [your] indulgence of discord, we are not spending that light to give you greater abundance for which you call, greater protection, greater assistance through angels and elemental life.

     There is a cosmic bank [of light] and if we must spend [light] out of that bank to compensate for those indulgences of discord, then that allotment is spent. This is the next most important key you should consider, apart from insufficiency of love, in dealing with your problems of supply. It is the indulgence of discord and the breach of harmony whereby a crack in the pot causes the light to leak and you lose the precious water of abundance.

     Simple teaching, I know, beloved, but I give it again; for it is the need of the hour. And as you scan the heavens and the skies and Nature and the beauty and one another, remember that I have said to you that the principal cause of absence of wealth and abundance amongst the Keepers of the Flame of this state [of Montana] has been a lack of love, the next [cause] being that indulgence of petty discords and then greater discords as the small ones [create] fissures that [widen] and open [up] the larger recesses of suppressed discords that go deep into the psyche.

     It is a planetary problem, alas. And if I were to compare your [performance] against the backdrop of [that of] many [citizens of the world], I should see that truly there is greater love and greater harmony [in the midst of the chelas] than [in] many a place I may roam.

     Ah, but it is the greatest mistake of the chela to attempt to establish [a] co-measurement [of himself] with those who dwell upon planet earth. You can only measure your [attainment] against the stature of the Ascended Masters, for your goal [is to be like them]; and to so do will keep you moving in the right direction and, I assure you, deliver you from all complacency.

     Thus, beloved, these keys are very important. Remember the word unawareness. Remember the word indulgence. Remember the word insufficiency of love. When you receive a bounced check that is marked Insufficient Funds, cross out the Funds and write the word [Love,] Insufficient Love, [so noting that you have] insufficient love in [your] cosmic bank [account] to cover the check you have written.

     Now, what would happen if we as your Gurus in paying for your karma should [write checks] to the Lord God that were not covered in our cosmic bank [account]? Well, beloved, I would hate to tell you what would happen, but very, very soon we might be delivered of the mantle of Guru.

     Therefore we may take on those chelas who are a good risk, for [in the Guru-chela relationship] it is always a question of [the Guru taking out a] loan from [his own] Causal Body. And as we see those of greater risk and less promise, we tend to withdraw [from the relationship]. And as we see those [chelas] who come with their own cosmic bank account of light who can pay as they go, we must sponsor them; for the Law demands it. For the greater the fruit of the [chela's] harvest, the greater [the Guru's gift must be to that one] coming along [on] the Path.

     Therefore, whereas we may have sponsored some of you [who are our students through the Pearls of Wisdom] for many long years, the Law does state that we may not be able to continue to do so beyond the new year if you do not begin to understand that we cannot pick up the tab each and every time you decide to indulge whatever [unseemly] emotion or behavior may come upon you in the night or the day. [If this should happen, and I relish it not,] you will see the meaning of paying the price yourselves, beloved, somewhat as you saw it when beloved El Morya was benched.12

     Thus, I speak across the board of possibilities and eventualities. And we know that all action must return to the sender and always does without fail. Here we are, then, beloved, giving you very serious reasons to accelerate on the Path.

     How do you accelerate on the Path? You "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, [and] with all thy soul, [and] with all thy mind, [and] with all thy strength; [and thy neighbor as thyself]."13 Loving God and loving him in manifestation everywhere, this is the key to the expansion of the flame here below, to the increase whereby, yes, you can accelerate on the Path and pass new tests and conquer new worlds. Love is surely the key, beloved. It opens new horizons. And yet how easy it is to sink back into the old patterns when the discourse is through and you are no longer in our presence.

     Since others [of the Ascended Masters] have come [to you] over [the] years urging [you to understand] the necessity for you to increase your attainment, I shall therefore conclude my message on this subject lest you become weary in hearing it again and again. I assure you that we do not desire to weary you but to lift you up and to see you become that notable cosmic seven and seven hundred and seven thousand and seventy thousand and seven hundred thousand and seven million, beloved, who did stand on planet earth in this century, did defy in the name of Almighty God the rising tide of world hatred of the Mother and did defeat it.

     It is in the realm of the possible! That is why I AM here! Would I waste my words upon those with eyes as dull as cattle who would stare and blink at me and moo? Blessed ones, I would not. I come to you because the possibility is so great for your accomplishment of this, the ultimate labor of Hercules - the devouring of the force of anti-Love!

     Anti-Love, beloved, is the cause of the disintegration of the youth, of the educational systems, of an economy that is papier-mâché, of all of the unrealities that move about. It is the force of anti-Love that is the unbinding of atoms, that is the shaking apart as [in] the rattling of the skeleton even of identity itself. Anti-Love, beloved, [pitted] against the Mother is surely the defiance of the Father who loves her, [of] the Son who loves her and [of] the Holy Spirit, whose bride she is.

     Our Divine Mother fills all of cosmos. [Yet planet earth] is a world, beloved, where neither the Trinity nor the Divine Mother is wanted. And each and every time one of you determines to embody any or all of the four, you find that the fallen ones come and say, "That is not your territory, that is ours! You have no right to that land! It is ours. You have no right to be doing what you are doing! You have no right to follow your religion. You have no right to be free." All of these things, [they say,] beloved. For you have brought God into "their territory," and they do not want God in any form in this earth!

     Though it is the Lord's and the fullness thereof14 and he claims it, he gave it to his children of the Light. Then the fallen angels came and claimed it as their own and determined that God would not walk the earth in his children. They would prevent it by all of their cunning and subterfuge. And so, beloved, they have become the gods of this world. They occupy. And the children of the Light are blurred in their sense of realities and unrealities.

     So along come you; and with the fire and fervor of Love, you call down all the mightiness of God, who then is authorized to walk in the physical octave in the fullness of the Lord God himself. You may not have seen him, beloved, but the same Lord God who was in Eden has walked this property and this valley and so incensed those who have played the part of the anti-God so long. And do you know, for many of them this is the first time they have not gotten away with it, they have not succeeded, and they are all the more angered.

     Do you see, beloved? They have had free rein [on planet earth until you came along], and they are incensed to the point of apoplexy. They are incensed to the point of hysteria, so much so that they cannot speak. They are speechless for their anger. It is a serious matter, beloved; for when they regroup they are determined to put out those who embody God.

     Has not the Messenger told you of her experience in invoking the full fervor of Archangel Michael [and then] being warned by him that all who would come near her in the following hour would become immediately angry with her? Has she not told you of that incident, beloved? Indeed she has. And so she said, "Archangel Michael, give me your presence and your power and let the anger come." And so it did, beloved. Each and every one who saw her, even family and staff, did become instantly enangered in her presence with this or that.

     You have come a long way since that hour. Now thousands embody even far more of the presence of the Archangel than descended on that occasion. The momentum [of power from the chelas giving the Archangel Michael decrees and songs] has been built worldwide. So you see, beloved, inasmuch as an Archangel is the embodiment of the I AM Presence and inasmuch as you fear not to invoke the Electronic Presence of the Archangels upon you, therefore things equal to the same thing being equal to each other, you sometimes walk the earth with the I AM Presence [of Archangel Michael] upon you.

     This is the ultimate threat because it is the absolute God-Good. There is no mediatorship in the I AM Presence. There is no compromise. There is no step-down as that which occurs through the Holy Christ Self. It is pure, undiluted God, sacred fire. And to ease you, beloved, the Presence does rise and relieve you of the fierceness of the I AM THAT I AM but does return again when you so need that protection.

     There is [sometimes] a certain weariness [that comes upon] those who dwell in human bodies [when they are] so near to God so often. [Yet, as they accelerate in their capacity to carry the Light, this weariness falls away.] In the time of the children of Israel it was Moses [who stood] behind the veil in the temple serving at [the altar of the ark of the covenant in] the Holy of Holies.15 Now, beloved, increments of that Presence are upon ye all, and it was not so in those days; for since that time you have overcome much of your stiff-necked vibration16 and your rebellious traits.

     Yet some [of these traits] linger and I advise you to make haste to call for the binding of the dweller-on-the-threshold on the four o'clock line, for the price [you will pay for not binding that dweller] is too great. It is the line of the law of God [of the flame of God-Obedience, where ancient momentums of disobedience, stubbornness and defiance of the Law are lodged in the subconscious,] and [of the soul's] congruency [with that law of Love] whereby all things become physical. Take heart and slay, then - slay, then, that bull!17

     For [if you do not], beloved, one day you may find that rebellion coalescing physically [in your physical atoms and molecules] and you will not be too happy for the sorry state that that karma of rebellion may [bring upon] your life. This is not an hour to [allow yourself to] be vulnerable to the forces of hatred through disobedience to the Law. Therefore let us go after [that momentum and that dweller], for I will come and help you.

     Blessed ones, I very much enjoy a fireside chat with you. And rather than continue this one, I ask you to call specifically to the Darjeeling Council to allow me to come more often to speak to you in this vein.

     Therefore, beloved, I withdraw now to the place of the Sun, the Sun Presence just above the Messenger where I always AM.

     And now may you enter in to the heart of Love as you sing a love song for the coming of Listening Angel.

17 The flame of God-Obedience is charted on the 4:00 line of the Cosmic Clock under the hierarchy of Taurus. The Messenger has taught that the perversions of this line - disobedience, stubbornness, defiance of the law and mental rebellion - manifest as the image of the Taurus bull untamed, unchanneled, and unsubdued. In Greek mythology the capture of the savage bull of Crete was the seventh of the twelve labors of Hercules. The beautiful but terrifying bull had been bestowed by the god Poseidon as a gift to Minos, king of Crete. When Poseidon later cursed the bull, it ravaged the island of Crete until Hercules subdued it, placed it in a boat and brought it to Greece. (Some accounts say Hercules rode the bull through the waves to the shore.) In the decree service dedicated to the seventh labor of Hercules prior to Lanello's dictation, the Messenger explained that the savage bull represents the hatred of God as the Divine Mother. This hatred manifests worldwide as the pollution and rape of Mother Earth, the compromise of the elements (fire, air, water and earth), the nine facets of the Hydra-headed beast (see vol. 32 no. 48, p. 644 n. 9), and as homosexuality, cruelty, rape, torture, murder, wife-beating and child molestation.
