CHAPTER XII

Page 298

THE EYE OF THE UNIVERSE

The Semitic for Fire and Light is Ur, whence Christian / Page 299 / names such as URIAH (URJAH) and URIEL are both defined in name-dictionaries as meaning" God is my Light or Fire." 1
The British Hooray! or Hurrah! may in all probability be resolved into Ur-ray or -Ra, " the light of RA." At the Sun Festivals of PERU the worshippers raised triumphant shouts of Hailli!2 which is seemingly a later form of our more primitive Hail! arid one may picture the primitive Britons on Salisbury Plain and other sites of prehistoric Sun-worship, ' waiting in silent expectation for the Dawn and raising ecstatic shouts of URRAH! as' the great Eye of Day rose over the horizon and opened upon them.
The British three cheers or Trisagion may be compared with the expression Selah, which occurs at intervals in the Hebrew Psalms and is nowadays supposed to have meant "a pause. "It is phonetically Silah! the" Fire of the Everlasting."
The Vive! or Vivas! of the Latin nations is related to VIVASVAT, a Sanscrit name for. the Sun, the Source and Giver of Life. The word laus, as in Laus Deo, before it meant" praise," must have been la us, the "Light of the Everlasting," and we may again recognise it in this prehistoric sense in SANTA CLAUS or, as it should .be written, SANTA CLAUS, the" Holy Great Light that has existed for ever."

SANTA SATAN SATAN SANTA

These same two syllables la-us are the conclusion of the name ELELEUS,one of the surnames of APOLLO and DIONYSOS.
"Wherever," says Max Mulller, "we analyse language in a truly scholarlike spirit, whether in Iceland or in Tierra del Fuego, we shall find in it the key to some of the deepest secrets of the human mind, and the solution of problems in philosophy and religion which nothing else can supply.

Page 299 Notes
1 IAH or JAH is similarly apparent in UZZIAH, ZEDEKIAH, HEZEKIAH,
OBADIAH, JEREMIAH, KEZIAH, and JEDEDIAH.

"Her Majesty" has here been supposed to mean Queen Elizabeth, but the Elizabeth in the poet's mind was evidently the Daughter of Zion, who was" all glorious within" - EL-IZZA-BETH, i.e. the House of the Light of God.
I t is obvious that Jeshurun or "ISRAEL" refers frequently to something more than an historic tribe of Semitic demon-worshippers, and that ISRAEL, he or she, is sometimes a personification of the individual soul wandering in the wilderness. I suggest that the name ISRAEL resolves itself naturally into Is, " the Light of," RA, "
