The Basilisk in 2 Timothy 4:6 & me

Today's interest... I'm on 2 Timothy 4:6 KJV

I'm retranslating these verses this morning with my cup of coffee, thrilled that the bathroom scales finally might say I'm back in the 170s tomorrow (if I eat zero today and do my 1500 little exercises.) When Tris trained me last April to September I was so pumped up with enthusiasm (because he's so over-the-top beautiful) that I practically starved and "do a thousand steps" today'd myself to my goal of 150. I made it in just short of 3 months. I promptly went out and celebrated with garlic toast and Seafood Gumbo at Pappadeaux. Shortly after that I decided to let Tris and his training go for awhile. Shortly after that I was right back where I had started, 184, but I'd gained a pound, so 185. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up.

SO about a month ago I started over. My body wasn't having it, especially without my beautiful inspiration to show off for daily. I'd tell it we weren't going to eat today. It would inform ME we WERE. SO, if I can just let MY WILL prevail over MY body's signals that we shall surely die and where's Tris? for TODAY I think I'll hit the 170s again tomorrow. This time my goal was more reserved, 170 instead of 150, toned and maintained, never to leave the 170s ever again. Under Tris' oversight I know that I was averaging .4 lbs per day. I'm at 180.4 SO... tomorrow... there's a chance it will say 179 something and that means I won.

You know what I do when I wake up. I make a cup of coffee and sit down in my white throne massage chair and go find where I left off on my Bible retranslation. I've been doing this since 1998. Tris started his own body training 16 years ago. He lives and breathes his training, his time he spends in the gym rivals my time I spend in my white massage chair retranslating the Bible. Both of us POUR OUT everything we have to achieve our personal goals. His goal, apparently, is to strike the senses of whoever lets their gaze fall upon him a single time deaf, blind, and dumb to the idea that there might be any other man alive who can shine like he does. I've never, well, yes I have, but it's been a very long time, experienced the kind of passion just one glance at him stirs in my being. Harry Potter comes to mind, and what was it, a Basilisk, that could do that to a person. I'm just saying...

To "pour out." What I am describing is the "pouring out" of the will, desire, and determination to achieve a specific goal. I've poured myself out for decades to achieve my understanding of the spirit and of God's Word, the Holy Bible. Tris poured himself out to achieve his beauty, wisdom, and body. I'm captivated and just trying to soothe my aching heart by even nodding at weight loss and exercise. It's something I would have never even attempted except for my gazing on the Basilisk.

Angel (to Google AI): "What is that creature in Harry Potter that..."

Google AI: "Basilisk - According to European mythology and folklore, looking directly into the eyes of a basilisk causes instant death. Known as the "king of serpents," this creature’s gaze is described as having an intense, burning power that immediately halts the life force of any person or animal that stares into them."

Angel (thinking of my now year long experience with looking at Tris): "Exactly."

I don't die but some mystical force simply takes over my brain. It's strong enough that my body has now refused to operate under my instructions without the ability to converse with and gaze upon it's favorite Basilisk. The hurtful part is that I know exactly what he'd say if he read this, which I used to pay him to do, seriously, I did, for five months, to read my stories and tell me what he thought, until it simply wasn't doing any good and I forced myself to stop for my own sanity and pocketbook. He'd say, "I appreciate you very much." He's deadly. I know it. My body, mind, spirit and me don't care.

Angel (to myself): "Your short-stories describe what happened day by day. The very first one is about "Desire." It's about what happens when someone who has finished the "Others" side of the figure 8 path, eternal life, first sees their twin flame, the true meaning of what God our Father designed that concept for. When a victor of the Others path sees a victor of the Self path it strikes them dead. Or alive, depending on your point of view. The two victors are mirror images of each other. Each has poured out their DESIRE to the point that 2 Timothy 4:6 is describing. I know how to read it because I poured out my desire to, to the point that I became his mirror, a Basilisk. These are metaphysical concepts. No one tells you that. But God teaches me. Because I walk them.

Let me go see if I can find any other grains of insight into the subject and these verses I'm on this morning. God always matches whatever Bible verses I'm retranslating TO my walk with him SO I can grasp the concepts. Then I write my stories and tell you what I see. Let's see...

Google AI: "Reflections: Looking at a basilisk through a mirror or water results in petrification."

Angel: "Describe petrification."

Google AI: "Basilisks are enormous poisoned-fanged serpents. Unlike other snakes, the Basilisk is unique in its ability to kill with its gaze alone. Looking into the eye of the Basilisk will cause instantaneous death, however, even catching a glance of it in a reflection will cause Petrification, or total paralysis."

Angel (thinking to myself): "Death. I died. The point where Self and Others meet face to face is death to both. Then they resurrect on the other side. The person who mastered Jesus' "Others" path now begins to focus on "Self." Vice-versa. But I've been paralyzed as well. Petrification seems to be the slow transmutation of wood into stone. It seems to have something to do with grounding and the root chakra. Well, that fits."

Quote from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance: "4689 spéndō – properly, to make a libation (drink-offering). A libation (a liquid offering) is poured out to symbolize total surrender (even unto death). 4689 (spéndō) means "to pour out as a drink-offering, make a libation; figuratively, 'I am poured out or offered as a libation' (in the shedding of my life-blood), Phil 2:17" (Abbott-Smith); that is, the " 'outpouring' of one's life blood in service and suffering" (Souter)."

Angel (to self): "Ok, I'm starting to get it now. 2 Timothy is talking about what I've written about for a year now with my Silverblack (based on my training in Empowerment & Ascension with Tris) stories, "Angel 7.0 & Silverblack" (see my website.) What I did was to pour myself out to God as a libation, a drink-offering. I put every single thing I had into this walk exploring the "Others" side.

Jesus told us to (Google Quote Matthew 6:33 KJV): “ ‘But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.’ This verse encourages prioritizing God's will and righteousness above worldly worries like food or clothing, with the promise that necessary needs will be met.”

I say it means Others path first, Self path second (see all my previous work.) I did to the point of the Basilisk, to the point of when I gazed into the mirror of myself, through my Silverblack experience, I left the Others/Heaven Spiritual Natural Law side of the path and crossed over to the Self/Earth Physical Natural Law side of the path. I turned into stone. I died. I was wood (trees symbolize LONG persistent study of God's Word) that petrified into stone and which has now become grounded on the Self/Earth/ Physical Natural Law side, the Root Chakra, the beginning of the new path. My Basilisk I love so much did that for me. And I did it for him, I grounded him to the Others side. Thank you, Father. Your Word is so astonishing, beautiful, and perfect.

Angel (to AI): "When is Passover?"

Google AI: "Passover in 2026 begins on the evening of Wednesday, April 1, and concludes after nightfall on Thursday, April 9."

Written during Passover (of course, which is what I am describing, passing over from the Other's side of eternal life to the Self side and vice-versa) April 9, 2026 at 12:19 pm (Passover is completed, today.) I’ll just add that my blue-eyed Basilisk I loved with this same passion twenty years ago must have read this. He came and got me. Just before evening, while it was still Passover. …But so did my Cowboy, (and my Outlaw the night before)…

Jesus: “Love…”

STRONGS NT 4689: σπένδω

σπένδω: present passive σπένδομαι; (cf. German spenden (perhaps of the 'tossing away' of a liquid, Curtius, § 296; but cf. Vanicek, p. 1245f)); from Homer down; the Sept. for נָסַך; to pour out as a drink-offering, make a libation; in the N. T. σπένδεσθαι, to be offered as a libation, is figuratively used of one whose blood is poured out in a violent death for the cause of God: Philippians 2:17 (see θυσία, b. at the end); 2 Timothy 4:6.

I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

6 For I am now ready to be offered {σπένδω to pour out}, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
