This one might be more illuminating for some of my fiction, especially since in the other from Tokyo, I tell an episode about the fall of a centuries-old tree. And here in Paris, I don&#8217;t propose many interpretations, but they exist in my fiction. Namely, at the opening ceremony of the Paris Games, you can see the wings of an Angel and Horsemen. This is quite common in my fiction, and there&#8217;s no shortage of the idea, from the same creatively invented source, that the so-called Angel who holds the fire, the Flame of God, or Uriel the Archangel, would also be one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. This fiction is almost entirely the result of a creative, if not confusing, combination of biblical texts. It&#8217;s a mixture of texts from almost the same source in an inventive way. But in general, I tend to say that Christianity is essentially Platonic. That&#8217;s very interesting; in general, I&#8217;m one of those who believe that the deepest inspiration of biblical texts is Greek, from Greek authors. And in this sense, I wanted to note why, beyond these many fictions, I&#8217;m passionate about the Olympic torch saga, and I have more than one opening image from the Olympics here in the album. The notable fact for fiction would be the connection between this Angel who holds the fire, the Flame of God, or Uriel the Archangel. He&#8217;s not mentioned by name in the official c\u00e2nons, but simply at the end of the biblical text as &#8220;the one who holds the fire.&#8221; In the Olympia ceremony that takes place before all the games in Greece for the lighting of the torch, or the Olympic cauldron, it refers to Apollo. In other words, in my study of the arts, which is a fictional construction of this one who holds the fire, the spirit of Apollo is also Uriel the Archangel, or the Flame of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>PT-BR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eu tenho aqui duas fotos de abertura dos Jogos Ol\u00edmpicos, essa de Paris a outra de Tokyo, talvez essa seja mais elucidativa de algumas fic\u00e7\u00f5es minhas, at\u00e9 porque a outra de Tokyo eu conto um epis\u00f3dio da queda de uma arvore centen\u00e1ria. E aqui em Paris n\u00e3o proponho muitas interpreta\u00e7\u00f5es, mas elas existem em minhas fic\u00e7\u00f5es. Qual seja, avista-se na abertura do Jogos de Paris as asas de um Anjo e Cavaleiros, essa \u00e9 bastante frequente em minhas fic\u00e7\u00f5es e n\u00e3o falta de mesma fonte bem inventada criativamente a id\u00e9ia de que o chamado Anjo que det\u00e9m o fogo, Chama de Deus, ou Uriel Arcanjo, seria tamb\u00e9m um dos quatro Cavaleiros do Apocalipse. Essa fic\u00e7\u00e3o \u00e9 quase na sua integralidade fruto da combina\u00e7\u00e3o criativa, para n\u00e3o dizer at\u00e9 confusa, de textos b\u00edblicos. \u00c9 uma mistura de textos quase da mesma fonte de forma inventiva. Mas muito em geral eu costumo dizer que Cristianismo \u00e9 essencialmente Platonico. Isso muito interessante, de forma geral eu sou dos que acredita que inspira\u00e7\u00e3o mais profunda dos textos b\u00edblico \u00e9 grega, de autores gregos. E nesse sentido apenas que eu queria observar o porque al\u00e9m dessas muitas fic\u00e7\u00f5es, sou apaixonado pela saga da tocha Ol\u00edmpica, e tenho aqui no \u00e1lbum mais de uma imagem de abertura de Olimp\u00edadas. O fato not\u00e1vel para fic\u00e7\u00e3o seria a rela\u00e7\u00e3o desse Anjo que det\u00e9m o fogo, da Chama de Deus, ou Uriel Arcanjo, n\u00e3o \u00e9 tido nos c\u00e2nons oficiais por nome, mas simplesmente l\u00e1 no fim do texto b\u00edblico como &#8220;aquele que det\u00e9m o fogo&#8221;, vai na cerimonia de Olympia que acontece antes de todos os jogos na Gr\u00e9cia para acendimento da tocha, ou da pira Ol\u00edmpica, remeter a Apolo. Ou seja, no meu estudo de artes, que \u00e9 um constru\u00e7\u00e3o ficcional deste que det\u00e9m o fogo, que o espirito de Apolo seja tamb\u00e9m Uriel Arcanjo, ou a Chama de Deus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>@CoexistenceLaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Murilo Jambeiro de Oliveira Brazil, October 26, 2025.
