sun
[aka Sonne] The sun is used by Schreber's god to emit rays to earth, and thus allows him to interfere with worldly affairs if necessary. The sun is essential to life on earth as its heat radiation affects the weather conditions on earth's surface. According to Schreber, the sun is speaking to him in a human voice. |
