According to Durgin the Leviathan is the Nation State of western european postmodern society of the Logos of Cybele. A bloated serpent that devours people and gods and nothing can stand in its way without being swallowed or crushed under its weight. A Western civilization that has fallen from the heights of the platonian Logos of Apollo into the darkness of the Logos of Cybele. I can see his vision and it seems to ring clear.

However the part that he fails to see or mention is that this postmodern version of the Logos of Cybele is a profane and sterile version. An abomination.

Western europe lead into a perfectly designed labyrinth. Lead down a path that could only have produced this weapon. This sterile materialistic society devoid of the sacred, devoid of the spirit of nature. Where the priest and priestess have been replaced by scientist and pharmacist, the honored warrior of glory exchanged for the lowly mercenary of mammon, the farmer, bondsman of the soil, sold to the city and instead machines ravage the land and Monsanto chemicals poison it. This is not the Logos of Cybele this is an abomination.

This Leviathan is not complete it is headless, when the Artificial Intelligence ready to sit on the throne of the postmodern nation state, the weapon is complete and the Tree of Life will burn. Russia is standing in the way to slow it down. But to calm the beast, the sacredness of nature, the reverence of the Great Mother, must be remembered.

The imbalance has the whole world on the brink of the abyss.

'Those that knew him all attested to the fact that he was neither a drug addict nor a drunk as his enemies later slandered him. '

Been a fan of Poe since I could read. He was the first author that caught my attention and went through his complete works before I was 11. JRR Tolkien was next ,completed his volumes before 13.

An interesting sidenote, Dr. Joesph Evan Snodgrass, then man summoned to the tavern to get Poe was a cousin of my Great Great Great Great Grandfather. You will have to forgive him for slandering Mr. Poe. He was a teetotaler and used this experience to further his political views of the abolition of alcohol in a teetotaler newsletter. He sold the old family Snodgrass Tavern for the same reasons. Still standing today and we forgive him for that.

Snodgrass and Poe were close friends, both were published in the same local Baltimore papers. They had a falling out 5 years before Poe's death. Joesph Snodgrass got offered an Editor position to a local magazine and Poe was disappointed Snodgrass didn't start a paper with him like they had often discussed.

My view is Poe was drugged and left for dead and Snodgrass biased view of the situation clouded his analysis of the situation.

However the Snodgrass' were Freemasons of the order of the Holy Royal Arch. Until another relative, Charles Snodgrass, published the secrets of the 'Light from the Sanctuary of the Royal Arch' in protest of the new Grand Lodges dominance and upset that they banned the most important Rite of the Royal Arch. After that the Snodgrass' were banned.
