"But this slaughtered cow that occupies a large position has the same core in theory, but what kind of metaphor should it use?"

"The hound biting it, the snake and the scorpion, what are they?"

"An unsolved mystery," the saint said.

Fan Ning frowned and nodded.

If this is a digression, the next most critical question should be

He said: "The most important thing is what Mithraism believes is the way to 'see the radiance'. What exactly should be said about the 'prism' symbol?"

The saint took a step forward, but instead of looking at the "prism" above, he continued to stare at the "Cow Slaughtering Picture".

"Did Bishop Lavoisier see anything else?"

"The triangular side of the prism above shows the appearance of the key about the 'snake' below. As for this painting, this painting" Fan Ning poked around and quickly discovered the inconsistency. "This is the surrounding area."

The tones of the stone lamps are not uniform. In my opinion, the prism refracts the light, and the "Cow Slaughtering Picture" formed may not necessarily have uniform brushwork and uniform steps."

Yes, this painting looks a bit fragmented under the special light and shadow!

It's like several people painted separately and then "stitched" them together.

"Later, disagreements and divisions arose."

The saint finally raised his head and looked at the prism suspended in the sky.

"The first group of believers believe that the power of mysticism comes from 'doctrine' and 'belief', 'first the worshiper, then the worshiped'. They advocate following the will of the Lord and usurping the home.

The other two seats, through the 'Trinity' way, can see the light for themselves - these people are called 'originalists'."

"Although the fault is serious and I don't know how it evolved in the middle, our Holy Sun Church must belong to the orthodox inheritance of the former Mithraic 'original sect'."

The saint directly made a conclusion and unfolded a simple scroll with several lines of text in front of Fan Ning's eyes.

"Since the New Era, Saint Apollo the Light-Bloomer and three other saints, including myself, have continued to study the secret history and concluded that there are "ten similarities" between Mithras and the Holy Sun Church."

Fan Ning read the writing on the scroll word for word.

"First, Mithraism is a 'Sun Worship Cult', and the Lord of Witness enshrined by our Holy Sun Church both refers to the sun as the representation of the world, and both advocate saving the world through divine actions."

"Secondly, the god who walks in the world worshiped by Mithras is 'born in stone and walks in light'. Our church has a saying that light 'gives form'. Both are unconventional ways of reproduction of mortal creatures."

(This article immediately reminded Fan Ning of the 'virgin pregnancy' theory of the Blue Star Holy Cross Church in his previous life)

"Thirdly, both believe that the birth date of the Lord of Witness is the "Winter Solstice", but the calculation method of the calendar is different (or the time is too far apart, and the annual cycle itself has changed), resulting in the actual date being different."

"Fourth, both have miraculous allusions to "strike a rock to produce water."

"Fifth, both emphasize "atonement and salvation." Mithraism allows new believers to reenact the crucifixion of the "Sun God" during the initiation ceremony. Our church has a "sunset ceremony."

"Sixth, both have the Holy Communion ceremony, and the consecration materials are bread and wine."

"Seventh, both have baptism ceremonies. The difference is that some Mithraic orders use honey, some orders use cow blood, while my church uses holy water diluted with spiritual liquid."

"Eighth, both have underground temples. The difference is that our religion regards them as both refuge and instruction, while Mithraism regards them as "sun caves" - that is, caves filled with candles and candlelight swaying -

—as a place of daily worship.”

"Nineth, both of them advocate temperance, self-denial, enthusiasm, and piety in the behavioral standards of believers."

"Tenth, both regard the last day of the week as Holy Sunday"

The more Fan Ning looked at it, the more confused he became.

Now I not only feel that there are many coincidental similarities between the teachings of the Holy Sun Church and the Blue Star Holy Cross Church in the previous life.

The high-level church officials' research on the "Origin of Mithras" suddenly made Fan Ning realize that it was not that he had never heard of it.

It's just not available in this life.

Various descriptions of these characteristics are very similar to a "Sun God Cult" secret church in an ancient European empire in Fan Ning's previous life!

"I think this 'originalism' is good."

While listening to the lecture, Fan Ning quietly suppressed doubts in his heart.

"But the second part of the congregation believes that since the Lord of Witness is the holder of the phase and the incarnation of the laws of nature, the so-called 'faith' is just a special form in which the laws of mysticism take effect. They advocate overturning the concept of 'faith'

Holiness, extensively study the secrets of various witness lords, and find the three keys that reflect the ultimate law under the light, and realize the light through the way of 'time sequence reunification' - these people are called '

Disenchantment'."

"In the theory of the 'Disenchantment School', the three keys have existed since the existence of the glow, and are the 'general hub' and 'master switch' of its willpower, so they are called the 'keys of the glow' or '

The key to the timing, they are numbered -1, 0, 1 respectively."

"-The symbol of key No. 1 is books, and the power of will contained in it is 'Secret History'; the symbol of key No. 0 is a clock, and the power of will contained in it is 'order'; the symbol of key No. 1 is

The power of will contained in the spears is "fate". They are different from the keys of the door. They are above the seven phases. In other words, they are like the "seven-colored light refracted from the sun through a prism". The three timings

The key can directly serve as a bridge between the glow and the waking world!"

Fan Ning sorted out and digested the ideas and differences between the two factions.

"Originalism" - "Faith" - "Trinity".

"Disenchantment School"-"Study"-"Return in Time Sequence".

Ultimately it points to the essential purpose of mysticism: "seeing the radiance".

The mysterious corner behind the high curtain was finally slowly revealed after a series of plans entered the core and senior levels of the church.

But after hearing this, things became more complicated and confusing.

The spear relief on the key turned out to be a "spear", and the small vertical bulge turned out to be the Arabic numeral "1"!

Three keys, three numbers, -1,0,1?

Time sequence?
