In every effort to successfully navigate
through all hidden messages in Michelangelo's
rendering on the ceiling, a firm foundation must
be provided. A 'thread'.
Herein i will provide a foundation with the
'pilaster prophecy' revealed below.
Michelangelo-
Used Solomons Temple prophecy architecture along with the Neo Platonist's societies revelations to Create a satire upon the ceiling.
This Prophecy is in alignment with all Neo-Platonic derived gnostic knowledge and it is purveyed using a literary device called subterfuge.
No instance of Christianity is manifest on the ceiling. Only in the "Final Judgement". This sets up a pretense; that a 'whole tapestry' of knowledge is present upon the ceiling and that only a select few would have had the knowledge necessary to interpret this is 'Subterfuge'.
A fact: There are 12 Apostles that administered the 'synoptic' gospels of Jesus Christ. There are 12 throwns that surround the ceiling. Michelangelo chose to render Ancient Old Testament Prophets and Sybils. Why?
Given the fact that Michelangelo was coerced into doing the ceiling by a corrupt Pope, compounded by the fact that he already had a chip on his shoulder with his experiences dealing with the corruption of the church;
It is suggested herein that the viewer interpret the ceiling as satire held over and above the hierarchical leadership of the Catholic Faith which held power over church and state.
Michelangelo simply extracted the gnostic symbols used in the temple prophecies; redesigned each unique symbol to purvey its own Neo-Platonic meaning; rendered them intentionally as messages of subterfuge.
The original symbols used in Solomons Temple, which instantiate the 'Temple Rite', can easily be researched by my viewer using simple search techniques. This research is necessary and will require Biblical insights in order to interpret properly. I strongly suggest you follow through with your own personal inclinations while attempting to discern meaning and 'The message'.
