Life and the wind that is stuck in the sun (crazy man had the same vision) Patient believes this is where the wind comes from. 4 years later an academic volume was published: papyrus of the (cid:498)mithraic(cid:499) As carl looked through this book he came across a vision, in the vision (cid:498) in the sun something that looks like an aulos(cid:499) wind is coming out of the flute.
