Isis unveiled - what remains of this today in nightclubs
In antiquity, during the celebration of the mysteries, the initiates attended sacred dances performed in the temples by young virgins, who were not allowed to show themselves to the uninitiated and whose whole life was consecrated to purity. Others wished to imitate them, disciples who had been expelled from the temples for their weaknesses and who created schools where they gave so-called initiations into the great mysteries, symbolized by Isis unveiled. Those who are not sufficiently elevated to attain heavenly beauty make do with gross imitations. So, the crowds we see these days in nightclubs, watching strip-tease shows and contemplating Isis unveiling, are just disciples from the past who failed true initiatic examinations and are now preparing for them in places of debauchery. And they all pass their diploma with flying colours, since this Isis unveils herself much more easily than the great goddess in the ancient temples! And it's a pity, for anyone who knows how to contemplate true beauty is able to ascend all the way to the throne of God.
