It Is He Alone Who Suggests That Kindly Persuasion May Achieve More Than The Use Of A Spur, 'if You Give

It is he alone who suggests that kindly persuasion may achieve more than the use of a spur, 'if you give a good horse the rein and let her run, she’ll not stumble’

Shakespeares Imagery And What It Tells Us (1923)

by Spurgeon, Caroline. F.

His interest in the image is largely psychological, for he sees in this picture of a river overbearing its boundaries a perfect analogy to the result of stress or rush of emotion in men, as when Brabantio, distraught on hearing Desdemona has left him for Othello, cries to the duke: my particular grief Is of so flood-gate and o’erbearing nature That it engluts and swallows other sorrows, And it is still itself.

The talent (Ancient Greek: τάλαντον, talanton, Latin talentum) was a unit of weight used in the ancient world, often used for weighing gold and silver, but also mentioned in connection with other metals, ivory,[1] and frankincense. In Homer's poems, it is always used of gold and is thought to have been quite a small weight of about 8.5 grams (0.30 oz), approximately the same as the later gold stater coin or Persian daric.

In later times in Greece, it represented a much larger weight, approximately 3000 times as much: an Attic talent was approximately 26.0 kilograms (57 lb 5 oz).[2] The word also came to be used as the equivalent of the middle eastern kakkaru or kikkar. A Babylonian talent was 30.2 kg (66 lb 9 oz).[3] Ancient Israel adopted the Babylonian weight talent, but later revised it.[4] The heavy common talent, used in New Testament times, was 58.9 kg (129 lb 14 oz).[4] A Roman talent (divided into 100 librae or pounds) was 1+1⁄3 Attic talents, approximately 32.3 kg (71 lb 3 oz). An Egyptian talent was 80 librae,[2] approximately 27 kg (60 lb).[2]

------“I think this film is pretty in a generic way. Some of the best dialogue came through without any words, and that felt really classic to me.”

      Each of the Major arcana reflect a level of awareness that we achieve through life. The numerological values express a progression of spiritual states rather than a sequential process. 

      In order to work with the Planets in your chart, or even begin to understand the universal laws, you have to receive the multitude of your own spiritual potential.
