Star Fox 64: Rescuing Your Dead Father from the Underworld
<p>“Culture is like an old king whose best days are behind him and who is always in danger of being overthrown by his evil brother. It’s a very astute representation of the state. Horus is the god of attention. He’s the eye, the famous Egyptian eye of Horus, and he’s the falcon who can see so he pays attention. That capacity to pay attention is for the Egyptians what rescued Osiris from the depths of the underworld, when he was overthrown by his malevolent brother.<br />
<br />
“So who are you saving? Well you’re saving Osiris. That could be your father, insofar as the spirit of Osiris characterizes your father. But if you don’t have a father that doesn’t mean that spirit isn’t there. So maybe what you’re doing is rescuing your relationship with the central animating tendency of human civilization, insofar as that’s paternal. Or maybe you’re rescuing your relationship with God the Father; [God the Father] being an expression of that [central animating tendency of human civilization].”</p>
<p>Bishop Robert Barron speaks about a similar idea in his Sunday Sermon <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFCnjo8c6CU" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><em>Rescued from the Depths</em></a>. Barron asks: “What’s [God the Father’s] definitive rescue operation? In the fullness of time, God so loved the world that he sent his only Son. Where did the Father send the Son? Into our world, into our humanity, but all the way down — all the way into the dysfunction of sin; all the way down into death itself.</p>
