Isaac Luria: Mystic (1534–1572)

“Known as ha-Ari (The [Holy] Lion) and ha-Ashkenazi (The German – his family moved to the Middle East from Europe). Luria was one of the most influential men in the history of Jewish mysticism; his teachings shaped the thinking of generations of Kabbalists, triggered at least one messianic movement, and serve as intellectual foundation for much of Chasidism.

…

He taught an equally original form of ecstatic Kabbalah, centered on therapeutic “readings” of the spiritual condition of a soul and then offering spiritual direction. He also worked with dead souls. He would sleep on graves in order to commune with the dead spirits of Jewish saints buried there. His method of Yichudim, including a form of incubation, linked necromantic divination with his efforts to mend the cosmic imbalances in the universe. He furthered this effort by performing tikkun on impure spirits, exorcizing them and thereby returning them to the proper path toward the afterlife.

Huge numbers of stories and legends about his personality and his occult powers have been recorded. Some believed he was a reincarnation of Shimon Bar Yohai. He could make himself invisible to the spiritually immature. On the other hand, those with the right spiritual capacity saw that a pillar of fire, extending up to heaven, was constantly hovering over his head. Luria had the power of a sixth sense – he could immediately determine the spiritual state of a person by studying the lines on their forehead. He also had power over angels and made them do his bidding. He healed the sick and granted extended life.”

James Bond 26:

“Normal Day”

– alternate: “Be Alive”

As potent weather modification technology threatens the world’s food supply, the Anglo-American Union begins experiencing collapse and Bond is deployed to root out all traitors.

Final scene:

— Sky Tayla: female arch-villain – appears as Bond is leaving her compound after blowing it up.
— Sky represents where the weather-modification tech is projected. Tayla represents how weather is “customised!”

Sky: You never bid me farewell

Bond: All’s well that end’s well.

Sky: There is another way out you know! [cocks gun]

Bond: Are you expecting happiness?

Sky: I’m expecting to be right!

Bond: Wait a minute [raises finger] I used to think if you can’t beat ’em… join ’em… I suppose that’s out of the question too? [raises eyebrow]

Sky: Yes, and if you can’t join ’em?

Bond: What?

Sky: Kill ’em [shoots the gun, it is empty.. Bond holds up bullets!]

Bond: Precisely [fight starts]

“Normal Day”

(true to form)

Clendon Road is one of Toorak’s magnificent leafy streets, Coonac is just one of a number of significant homes often barely visible behind large gardens and high brick walls. The house is one of the few remaining Toorak mansions on its original subdivision block. Built in 1867 for a pioneer pastoralist, Robert Ronald, Coonac is the oldest surviving mansion from the Crown allotments sold in 1849.

habeas corpus: A writ of habeas corpus is a court order to bring a person who’s been detained to court to determine whether or not their detention is valid. It’s a failsafe to prevent the government from imprisoning people without cause.
