Mobileye's overall approach leans toward pure vision, which is EyeQ6's main SuperVision solution, but also supports LiDAR and Radar redundancy.
From the perspective of its solution, the number and location of cameras, as well as the location and quantity of other redundant devices are specified. The whole technology stack is self-developed, including hardware chips, on-board OS (based on Linux), software algorithm package, and even including automatic driving control layer application and cloud service infrastructure. It is equivalent to the car factory buying a whole family bucket, only responsible for the implementation of installation.
At present, the capability of its solution is mainly L2 ADAS assist driving, and L3 has not seen too much introduction and case at present.
Mobileye's current solutions tend to split ADAS/AD into independent systems, which are completely independent from the car and machine systems. Compared with QComm/Nvidia's all software run on one SoC solution, there is a gap in cost and flexibility. Also with the current industry EEA central control system evolution direction lag.
Competing: (QComm Ride/Nvidia Drive plus QNX plus OEMs) vs Tesla Dojo
In the future development review, the probability of winning the competition is small, and it stays in the field of low-level assisted driving. Advanced assisted driving and AD/FSD are more inclined to QComm/Nvidia, with more powerful computing power and richer software ecology.
L2 EyeQ > L3 QComm Ride > L4 Nvidia

Latter-Day Saint Gnosis
What’s so gnostic about Latter-day Saints Christianity?
In a way, it’s the most anti-gnostic strand – not only does it have almost no separation between spirit and matter, but it’s also highly institutional.
2 years ago I inquired ChristianOccultism on whether they knew of anything relevant about Mormonism. The response wasn’t that great. But I now have my own answer!
Nathan Smith, on Medium, has been a rather influential writer and thinker in regards to a “Gnostic reformation” of Mormonism. He infuses his Christian heritage with non-dualistic theology and practice derived from the likes of Alan Watts, Zen and yoga.
So what’s so gnostically interesting about Latter-Day Saints (LDS)?
It’s the revolutionary theology of cosmo-humanism (or cosmic humanism)!
What is it based on? How does it compare to other confessions? And why does it matter?
​
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints
.
“All spirit is matter”
A revolutionary concept is Joseph Smiths’ proclamation that “all spirit is matter”!
Yet it’s also implicit in the premise that God became flesh. As Jesus reconciled within himself the heavens and the earths, the spiritual and the physical, the perfect and the fallen, eternal and temporal.
Which is why Eastern Orthodoxy (EO) reveres the Holy Communion, holy water and icons. The world of forms is not an illusion to evade, but the gate into the revelation of God. Much like it happened at the Transfiguration.
In this sense, LDS is quite anti-Gnostic.
But I’m fascinated to no end by the doctrine that the Heavenly Father, Elohim himself, has a physical body, of flesh, blood and bone.
Gnostic religions either consider the physical to be an illusion (Gospel of Truth, Advaita Vedanta) or something to be transcended and conquered (Gospel of John, Jainism, Pashupata Saivism). Yet Christians like LDS actually want to earn embodied existence!
Now you may say this is clearly a demiurgic trap. This religion couldn’t possibly be from anyone else but Yaldabaoth!
Alan Watts would disagree. He proposed that the ideas of “spirit” and “matter” are but mental labels. “Form” and “stuff” are outdated philosophical concepts. In truth, the physical world is beyond such limitations.
In light of Buddhism, the physical is: transient, impersonal, unsatisfactory, empty.
Yet, transience is the mark of life! That which is changeless (“eternal”) we consider to be dead… After all, even rocks flow, becoming pebbles, sand, clay and being molded back into stones and re-starting the process. Is this not lively? Like Watts said “If I knock on stone, it resonates.” Isn’t that the rocks answering you?
Furthermore, when Buddha spoke of impersonality (anatta), he pointed out how all particular things are informed and built up by each other. Nothing exists in isolation. And nothing is conditioned by the discursive label ascribed to it. Each particular derives its’ being from all other things.
Dissatisfaction (dukkha) arises from clinging to conditioned and transient phenomena.
Finally, to say all forms are empty (suññata) implies a variety of things:

• empty of conceptualized nature (direct experience is beyond any possible dialectical expression);
• empty of subject-object distinction (non-duality);
• empty of self-essence (inter-existence, like Indras’ Web stating that you contain the whole cosmos in yourself, but the cosmos also contains you);
• empty of emptiness (there’s no adequate idea/word/form to conceive of the Eternal Truth).

Chinese religion saw the universe as one living and self-regulating organism. Called Tian (Heaven). Which seems to be in line with materialist scientiffic thought.
Trika Saivism proposes pratyabhijna (self-recognition doctrine) derived from idealistic monism. It states that “All is Consciousness, Consciousness is all.” But it makes it clear that, unlike Shankaras’ Advaita Vedanta, it does not call the physical realm an “illusion.” It is very real, like the body of God. Although its’ nature is misapprehended.
LDS doctrine of physical resurrection and exaltation of the body into divine immortality borders on Yoga and Taoism, which venerate Immortals (like Nath Saivas and Neidan (Alchemical) Taoists).
Finally, this physicalism is closely linked to chaos theory.
Buddhist authors (especially Theravadins) have come to object to the modern misreading of Buddhist “oneness”. They say the physical inter-dependence of all things is not harmonious, but cannibalistic. We eat each other to survive. Plants smother each other for a place under the sun. But from a Chinese Zen perspective, Watts noted, what seems like chaos on one level, is blissful harmony on a higher level. Consider the germ wars going on inside your own organism right now! Microorganisms hunt and fight each other. But all this is what keeps your existence as an effortless process.
Similarly, from the Visnu Lila theology, all these conflicts and competitions are, in the end, a divine play or dance. Zooming out of the atoms that seem to play catch, through the wildlife playing hunter-prey, to cosmic bodies knocking on each other… All are Gods’ children on the playground.
In this way, the physical doesn’t need to be evaded or repudiated.
Zen master Foyan said that “realization obliterates the subject-object split. It’s not like there’s some mysterious principle besides. When you see forms, [...] hear sounds [...] eat and drink, this is an instance of realization.” Eastern Orthodox prayer engages all senses in facing God – uses icons (sight), prayer ropes (touch), holy water (taste), canticles (hearing) and incense (smell) to experience the Holy Spirit. Muslims also stress the need for physical prostrations and vocal recitation for proper worship of the ineffable God. And master Dogen, by expounding seated meditation, basically taught Zen through body language.
As such, in the words of Alan Watts, “the physical fulfils all the requirements of the spiritual” – both in function (practice) and essence (nature). Thus, “all spirit is matter.”
​
Joseph Smiths' prophetic vision
.
Creation ex materia
A distinctive feature of LDS physicalism is the eternal existence of matter. It poses that the Logos formed the world by re-arranging matter into the patterns we see now.
This leads us to “Christo-monotheism”, since Jesus is undoubtedly our God – the creator of our world.
The Heavenly Father, by having a body of flesh, blood and bone, is physically intertwined with the whole of existence. Originating Jesus, who begins re-arranging this matter to inspire it to experience its’ own existence. Their influence extends through the Holy Ghost (who has a body of spirit or perhaps energy).
Similarly, the Vajrayana concept of luminous emptiness, speaks of emptiness as the ineffable Absolute (Father Elohim), endowed with luminosity (self-arising awareness that creates the world of form) – Son Jehovah. Luminous emptiness is also endowed with inherent love and bliss (perhaps equal to the Holy Ghost).
When Jesus was accused of blasphemy for calling himself a Son of God (equating himself to God), he quoted the 82nd Psalm: “Is it not written in your law: I have said, ye are gods?” (Jn 10:34)
We are gods in the sense that we too create a world around ourselves (“as above, so below” meaning “as within, so without”). But these forms arise from something which was before us (luminous emptiness or Gods’ Spirit). And is manifest as the physical. Basically, God manifests through each of us, as we co-create the universe (world of form) with him. Re-arranging that which pre-existed.
On another level, we are the Logos (or Word) in that, by means of discourse, we shape the ineffable physical existence into temporary particulars. The Zen perspective points out how even the anxieties over life and death are delusions, as the tension between the two is the result of a dialectical duality. In truth they’re implied in one another. Life and death is the blink of Gods’ eye. It is only by selective perception that we cling to one against the other, not realizing they are both the Self.

Salvation: To return to God or to become God?
St. Athanasius of Alexandria said “God became Man so that Man may become god.” This derived from St Peter: “that [...] you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.” (1 Pe. 1:4)
The Saints essentially speak of theosis (divinization) – the restoration of our original divine image and likeness in union with Gods’ Grace.
LDS takes this a step further. Stating: “As Man is, God once was.” (Although I don’t endorse the Adam-God theory).
EO is focused on a return to our primordial being. Implying our genesis was more or less a mistake. But on a deeper level, Man simply ate the fruit ahead of time. In ecology, everything exists in interdependence, and all elements go through cycles of maturation. Perhaps neither Man nor the fruit had reached the maturity needed. A delicious fruit, if eaten off season, can turn intoxicating.
Further, when confronted by God, Man, instead of confessing and repenting for ones’ disobedience, sought to deceive God (lie), putting the blame on his other half (in a cunning manner). If the primordial man (Adam & Eve) were one, this represents the beginning of samsara in our consciousness, as we renounce parts of ourselves into the shadow, fracturing our psyche and growing deluded and estranged from reality. Buddhist texts (like Kuntuzangpos’ prayer) explain how in unawareness a sense of estrangement grows, this duality breeds lust, then aggressive competition, which generates a binding chaotic pattern of karma.
Regardless, our earthly existence has but one ultimate aim – to return to Heaven. But it’s not an empty handed return. We must outgrow our limitations. Ascension through the Cross implies letting go of that which binds us. The more we let go, the fuller we become, by attaining deeper union with God. Death (descent into Hell) and resurrection imply the integration of our Shadow.
Nathan Smith explains this by distinguishing Jehovah and Elohim. Elohim, the Heavenly Father, is in plural, implying the aggregation of the myriad things into a cohesive unity of being. Whereas Jehovah, as Jesus, is the reconciling effort that offers transcendence (descends from Heaven to Earth, then to Hades, and resurrects returning to Heaven). Jesus re-integrates the fragmented reality into the One Mind of the Cosmic Self.
In this salvific process, while we are to purify the heart by mortifying our sinful tendencies (path of the Cross), we’re also to unconditionally embrace the world (through love), integrating it into the one cosmic body of Christ.
Because Lucifer is Jesus’ brother (in LDS), they are the two paths and fruitions that arise from the same divine ground – the path of chaos (rejection, fall) and the path of reconciliation (re-integration, ascension). Lucifer reduces all things to ever shrinking particles. Jesus weaves all things back into one whole. To rule the world, we use dialectical systems that separate all particulars, as to exert influence over them (Lucifer). Whereas the ascetic path to God relies on renunciation of the self, embracing the world as a harmonious unity (Jesus).
EO places a greater focus on returning to the primordial state of image and likeness of God, in graceful union. Whereas LDS have a more linear conception, in which we become greater than we were. That our primordial potential is fulfilled through earthly existence beyond what we were in the beginning.
Although, some EO patriarchs have suggested that in the afterlife all souls still progress into the depth of Gods’ mystery.

The destiny of Man: becoming God
The LDS narrative gives us a story of cosmic proportions.
The spirit-children of God became embodied beings as to attain exaltation, becoming like our Father. After all, the Son grows into the Father.
So we too will have our “planets” and spirit-children. And the process will go on.
There’s something poetic about Jesus creating this world, and, as its’ Lord and God, plunging right into the midst of existence. And upon resurrection, pull all of his creation with him, as extensions of his body. Having previously created the world out of his Fathers’ body.
Children grow into being parents. We’ll attain the highest exaltation by means of reconciling the whole world as an extension of our being. And then will proceed to create another world to plunge ourselves into it, alongside our creation. Like Jesus did.
Some Mahayana doctrines also imply this. Buddhas that reign over Pure Lands were once yogis in the pursuit of awakening, generating great merit. Having become Celestial Buddhas, they then emanate themselves into samsaric worlds to guide people to their Pure Land, serving as a bridge between samsara and nibbãna.
This cycle would be the heartbeat of God, what Trika Saivas call pulsations of the universe. Whereby it expands, diversifies and begins to reunite into its’ original being. Only to do it again.
The Heavenly Mother would also fit in here. Although a controversial figure. It’s quite reminiscent of the Radha-Krisna theology of some Hindus. Who describe the cosmos as a divine interplay between the divine feminine and divine masculine in a romantic dance of pursuing each other. Together, they bring forth all souls. Like the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother bringing forth all spirit-children.
​
Lord Jesus Christ
.
Christo-monotheism and Vaisnavism
Usually LDS attribute primacy to the Heavenly Father. But Nathan Smith noted that there were times when Christ was the head of the trinity in the Church. And why wouldn’t he be? Mormon theology leaves no doubt that the Logos, Christ, was the sole creator, redeemesaviour and judge of Earth.
Jesus created the world, inhabited it sacrificing himself for the salvation and redemption of all people. And he’ll be the final judge.
Vaishnavism also has this very idea, in the Gaudiya (Krishnait) and Ramavata (Ramaist) sects. Traditionally, Rama and Krishna are seen as avatars of Visnu, who incarnate to redeem the world. Visnu, being the sustainer of the world, is in trinity with Brahma (creator) and Siva (destroyer). But the mentioned sects consider their avatars “incarnate revelations of the full personality of the Godhead”. All other avatars are attributes and emanations. Even the trinity (Brahma, Visnu, Siva) is but a partial revelation of the functional aspects of the supreme Lord (Krishna or Rama).
In Christo-monotheism, the crucifixion is that much deeper. Since God himself was crucified by his own creation, forever changing his judgement and attitude towards us (becoming more merciful and compassionate). Quite reminiscent of the Manichean idea of Jesus the Suffering – that all of Gods’ souls suffer from ignorant existence.

The Gnosis in Latter-day Saints spirituality
The mystical side of LDS includes understanding that “all spirit is matter”, creation ex materia, “as Man is, God once was” (eternal progression) and reverence for the Heavenly Father and Mother.
When propounding physicalism, Alan Watts argued that the stubborn division between “spirit” and “matter” culminates in a society that happily destroys the nature that feeds it, as to accumulate the symbols that represent the destroyed resources. Latter-Day Saints, Zen, Taoism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Islam and Saivism all point out, in various ways, that the physical reality is not the illusion. Our misapprehension of it, as a result of our habitual dualistic thoughts, is what’s illusory. Nathan Smith proposes spiritual growth through reconciliation by means of ritual. Temple ritual, prayer and meditation in which we reconcile our own physical and spiritual natures (integrating our fragmented aspects) and harmonize our relationships through acceptance of others, while keeping our material existence undefiled (through ritual purity).
Creation ex materia means that, in this very moment, we shape the world in our image. “As above, so below” means “as within, so without.” The physical world (world of forms/appearance) is a reflection of our heart-minds. Smith appeals to the Zen idea of the Unborn, whereby, a detached mind, settled in the present, can respond in a myriad of possibilities to what happens outwardly.
“As Man is, God once was.” I don’t believe in this literally, but I do think that, much like a seed grows into a tree, a son grows into his father, so we will ascend through the emanations of the One (in a Platonic sense). And, at each degree, we are deified, as we become expanding centres of the universe. More and more we weave together the universe through ourselves. The more fragmented dualities we reconcile and integrate within ourselves, the closer we come to God (this can include Jungian shadow work). Once deified, we will repeat the cosmic dance, creating worlds and emanating our own spirit-children to inhabit them, for our sparks to return to us.
Finally, there is the possibility of a divine feminine in the Heavenly Mother. If the Father is revealed in name (through the Son), the Mother is implied by concept. Much like the negative is implied in the positive (Ying-Yang theory). The female principle goes unmentioned, because its’ use must happen rather effortlessly, without any ideation or intention. As Lao Tzu said:

The more you use it, the more it produces;
the more you talk of it, the less you understand.
Hold on to the center.
The Tao is called the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds.
It is always present within you.

Criticism
It’s interesting that strict dualistic traditions (like Manichaeism and Jainism) have the same propensity as some non-dualist traditions (LDS) towards puritanism. Albeit all spirit is matter, LDS has excessively puritanical tenets. It seems that, whether respecting matter or repudiating it, we may end up in the same place.
Any ex-Mormon will tell us that LDS is extremely institutionalized. Like a corporation. Far more than Catholic and Orthodox Churches. As such, it becomes an extremely political religion, at the whim of its’ presidents.
The prophet and founder, Joseph Smith, had a questionable career. With detractors accusing him of misappropriating freemasonic teachings and of con-artistry.
Protestants consider LDS completely lacking in the Grace element. Being very focused on ritualism and precepts, i.e. works of the law. Even Catholicism and Orthodoxy do not feel as temple-dependent as LDS.
When taken at face value, LDS is very anti-gnostic. While some Gnostics find embodied existence a prison to be transcended, LDS strive to attain eternal embodiment. And calling earthly existence a “Plan of Happiness” makes it sound somewhat suspicious (like saying "Ministry of Truth").
On the other hand, could the LDS view of the Holy Ghost, as a separate spirit-entity that abides on Earth, carrying out the Heavenly Fathers’ will, be closer to some Gnostic cosmologies and theologies?
.
I’ve always wanted to “figure out” this American religion gnostically. And, at the moment, I’m quite satisfied to have re-shaped my metaphysical outlook through it. Thanks to people like Nathan Smith, on Medium.
What’s you experience and attitude with the Latter-Day Saints faith? Do you trust it? Do you feel comfortable engaging with the organization, or are you cautious? Does it have any gnosis? Would you see it as the most anti-gnostic form of Christianity? And do you think the Holy Ghost notion is more Gnostic?

Synopsis.
The fate of humanity did not rest on Tom, but it sure felt like it. Then again, despite their numbers all the chosen felt the same way.
The trial, the tutorial, or whatever you wanted to name it, was over. After forty long solitary years spent mastering the system, Tom, with his abilities reset was going to have to do it all again to save humanity.
The cost of failure would have an unimaginable impact on his friends and family. His sacrifices had propelled him into the top million, giving him the opportunity to make a difference. And he had a risky plan to do so.
Against their will, humanity had been chosen, and all Tom could do was to work with the system.
Universe spanning gods ran a regular competition on a world called Existentia where they pitted seven species from different universes all of whom have dominated their home planet against each other.
But a straight-out fight would be too simple. Existentia is a living, breathing, impossibly large, magical world with existing empires, secrets, dungeons and trials. The seven races in the current iteration of the competition have their own

What should I do? (Trigger warning-a little politics here).
I manage two Boomers for a company where we are an isolated section, but we have a very specific job. I started a year ago as the manager. It is well known the male Boomer, let’s call him Fred, wanted my job. He has been with the company 15 years. Under the last manager’s watch, our office started shrinking. Covid made it worse, because we provide a service. Regardless, our business is very very slow. So Fred was interim manager while I was being hired. Fred is a highly unpleasant right-wing Boomer. He and the other woman, we will call her Pat, were supposed to meet me when I interviewed. Fred took the day off. He also did not come out of his office to greet me after I was hired. When I would ask Fred for instructions or procedures, he answers me in one word, or one sentence. Having held this entry-level position for 15 years, I asked Fred what he does day to day and attempted to say “hi” every day. The list, much of which I assumed, was shockingly small. One day, I offered to buy Fred and Pat lunch. I drive to get it and when I came back, as we started what I thought would be casual conversation, Fred launched into this discussion about how minorities and women should not have their own educational institutions, how he is “the only category of people it’s ok to discriminate against”, and systemic racism was not real. So there we are. This conversation did not end well for me as I am a woman and my husband is not white. Fred announced “You hate white people!” and that was it for me. Any conversation you get in with Fred somehow descends into right-wing talking points. Or Boomer talking points “When I was in the military, we wouldn’t allow ponytails!” Jesus. Like, do your job and STFU. So, the job…it’s simple. He and Pat spend the majority of the day watching tv. He also has this insane schedule where he comes in at 6 am and leaves at 2 pm. Business hours are 8-5 pm.
So, I am very relaxed and flexible as a manager. Do what you need to do, and we are good. Don’t mess with me and I will basically leave you alone. I haven’t changed his schedule and I let him sit in an office at the end of the hall where he basically does nothing for no one.
I do this because we have some big changes coming. I’ve been hired to make this office work better. I’ve been asked to do some things to make life easier for our customers and maybe increase revenue a little. When those things cascade down, and we put the proposal in place, both Fred and Pat will be forced to earn money. Wouldn’t you love $42K to watch tv and leave at 2 pm!?
So, performance reports came up. They’re not a big deal here. I rated Pat and Fred 3 or average, which honestly, with their constant complaints in a job where they watch tv all day seemed fair. I did not write anything negative. Very generic.
Fred starts acting sus. I see him walking up to HR. I know he’s up to something. So I ask Pat and Fred today if they read their reports and would they like to talk about anything. Pat is ok, will sign off. Fred, on the other hand, sits up and almost stuttering (he stutters but only while talking to me) tells me he “is waiting for a response on something” and when he gets it, if he has time, he will sign it. I’m like “ok, weirdo” (in my head) and I wait. He has added a negative comment to his review that his supervisor never gave him any expectations and he got 30 emails with goals. Those were ADP. When I added new goals for this year, I guess he got an email or 30.
So what do you think? I want him gone. I’m tired of his passive aggressive BS. Dude, just do what you’ve done for 15 years and retire in 2026. But no. He has to make everything into drama. I’m thinking of making a bunch of goals and having him do a weekly report on what he’s accomplished. Of course Pat would also have to. Careful what you wish for.
I worked hard to get a management level position and I have been so chill with these people and they are immovable, angry old people milking this place for a check. And he’s a conservative, remember? Work ethic? Nope. Every day I see them sucks my motivation right out. Any tips out there?

Syrabanic worship by the Snow Elves - An exploration of the legendary Eyes of the Falmer
By Jeberilie Laussac
In my recent years studying the snow elves in Skyrim I have stumbled upon a remarkable rumour: two exquisite gemstones have appeared from the province's black market called the Eyes of the Falmer. I have already written in previous works on the Tragedy of the Snow Elves, and the precious little we know about their culture. It took me many months to track down their origin, and many more to find the individuals who retrieved them from the Irkngthand ruins. Through some, monetary, persuasion I coaxed several drawings of the large statue they encountered in those caves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the dark caves under the dwarven city of Irkngthand lies a large statue carrying staff and book. Styled after a Snow Elf from before the Night of Tears, its eyes made from large gleaming crystals.
Why did the Falmer who lived in this Dwemer city built it? Who was depicted by the statue? Why were specifically the Eyes given such great attention?
Why the eyes were given such attention might not be hard to surmise. Common theory proposes that after fleeing to the dwarven cities the snow elves were given a poisonous substance which rendered them sightless. Through the process and with time they were transformed into the blind Falmer that are encountered in Skyrim to this day. But is this statue a general lament to the loss of their sight, or is it a specific plea to a specific divine?
The same sources that retrieved the snow elven texts translated by Calcelmo in Markarth indicate that, like their Altmer cousins, the Falmer venerated several divines during their civilization and had a temple dedicated to them. The central figure being the King of the Aldmer, Auri-El; however, other divines are also indicated to have had temples dedicated to them: Trinimac, Phynaster, Jephre and Syrabane.
I propose the statue found in the caverns was built to worship none other than Syrabane ‘youngest’ of the eight.
The first aspect that must be explained is the contradiction this brings with Syrabane the historical figure: a mer who lived during the 22nd and 23rd century in the second era where they aided Bendu Olo in assembling the All Flags navy. Statues of him can be found on the island of Artaeum and outside the harbour of Gonfalon Bay in the Systres archipelago. This event supposedly gave Syrabane their place as the youngest of the divines, it occurred however two millennia after the fall of the ancient snow elves.
This suggests that the divine Syrabane the Snow Elves worshipped, during the late Merethic era and early first era, is likely not the result of the heroic efforts against the Sload made by the historically known Syrabane.
In addition, High Elven mages have also made imagery characterising them as female. One recorded example was a statue in the second era Altmer Embassy in Elden Root. This points to a diverse interpretation of the Warlock gods' appearance and deviates from a singular historical figure. There are however aspects that are attributed to the deity Syrabane that could shine a light on their worship in Snow Elven society.
Syrabane is commonly known as the Warlock god and has strong links to magic. Various magically created artefacts, often warding against danger, are attributed to him of which his Sacred Ring is the most well known. He is also invoked by apprentices, in situations of self reflection and is credited to have taught the Aldmer many secrets in enchanting and crafting practices.
More importantly for the connection to the ancient falmer however is his associations to sight and scrying. The scrying Order of the Eye invokes the ‘Sight of Syrabane’, and the Psijics that erected a statue to him are specialists in the same scrying arts.
Finally the attributes carried by the statue may also point into the direction of Syrabane. The statues that can be directly ascribed to the deity always hold a staff in one hand, and the other frequently holds a scroll. The Irknthand statue carries a staff in one hand and holds a book in the other, mirroring the known statues.
Though these more contemporary sources are not direct, the universal associations could also have been shared by the ancient snow elves.
If they were, it is understandable why Syrabane was chosen as the subject of the constructed statue in their desperate situation: a teacher whose wisdom could guide them in their trying times, who could give the the Sight to see without eyes and who could ward them against further curses and danger.
