[quote:Copperegla:MV81MjM4NDcxXzk2NDg2NDE2XzhFN0VBN0RE] [quote:Outis 83935765:MV81MjM4NDcxXzk2NDg0Njc4Xzk2MTEzMUI5] Though I like your analysis, I don't agree that Bilbo was Lazarus. He was not dead or resurrected. He was a happy, wealthy hobbit before he went on that adventure, and found (stole) "The Precious." [/quote] Such a cool mystery! I love discussing middle earth and all the fun possible interpretations. Leviticus 16:2 (priest enters the temple alone to find the "ark"); Hobbit (Bilbo enters lone mountain to find "arkenstone") Leviticus 16:3 ([i]bifur[/i]); Hobbit (dwarf named bifur) Leviticus 16:14 (blood on finger); LOTR (ring on finger) Leviticus 16:21 ([i]aiunth[/i]); Silmarillions (ainur) There is so much to discover and think about. Did you pick up on the duality between Sauron and Aule? Sauron was 2nd in command after Melkor, just like Aule was 2nd in command (in a sense) after Manwe. Sauron was known for his handicraft (especially making the rings) and teaching the elves. Aule also was known for his handicraft and teaching the dwarves. In an interview, Tolkien likened the ring to "the machine" in the general sense. Modern j-ws (in particular the kabbalists) liken their spiritual power to technology -- they literally call it "internal technology". And here we are on the cusp of transhumanism, a time where Tolkien has never been more relevant. It's like Orwell or Huxley. They wrote decades ago for times such as these. [/quote]
