Symbology

Symbology
(Seed For The Power Of Language)

First, let us understand that there are only two types of written communications which can be used as a language--the language's written word and the language's pictures. Each of the two has very specific subsets of limitations which are opposite to one another. The written word has a one-to- one ratio between a symbol and a definition, while picture writing does not have a one-to- one ratio. That is why it is said that a picture is worth a thousand words.

When a language is composed of mostly written words, such as the English language, the thinking process is limited... that is because it is the nature of the written word to limit the thought processes to just the subject of the conversation in question. However, when a language is composed of many pictures, such as the language of ancient Egypt, and, the even more ancient language of Lemuria, the thinking process is limited to a far less degree than is the written word. This is because each of the individual pictures can represent more than one concept, of which, each are totally different from one another (more on this later).

It must also be understood that within a specific time, within a specific geographical area, and within a specific subculture, all who use the syntax of their respective language, be that language composed of words or pictures, have the same convention toward the usage of that language... hence, the seeming limitations of that language are the same for the people of the times.

Still, with respect to the actual difference, as opposed to the perceived difference, between the two types of language, two things must be remembered. Firstly, it must be remembered that as the laws of creation have their six points of power, so too, do language and communication have their six points of power--the six levels of communication. Secondly, it must be remembered that a picture is worth more than a thousand words. This is so because there are many different levels to the pairing of pictures. There are far fewer levels to the pairing of the written word.

Also, with respect to the conventions of the syntax of the written word, the written word is usually read from left to right, or from top to bottom. The picture language, on the other hand, can be read in any combination (from left to right, from right to left, from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and from right for a few symbols then to left for a few, etc.) Still further, the written word does not lend itself toward color meanings, while color in the picture languages often changes the meaning of the symbol that is being used, depending upon the symbol that the color is being paired with.

A qualification needs to be added to the above statements. While each respective speaker or user of the above languages, be that language composed of words or pictures, is limited in the same way, the overall limitation exists between the written word symbol and the picture symbol nonetheless. The extent of the limitations reveal themselves when the language in question is used by a different civilization of a different time. When we of today (who are used to a language that is mostly composed of the written word symbol) seek to understand the communications of the people of another time (a people whose language was mostly composed of picture symbols), we discover that there is no way that we can be certain that our interpretations of their pictures will give us their inner thinking process. As a matter of fact, there is no way to ensure that we understand the true syntax of their language--without the true syntax we can end up with a totally incorrect thinking process.

An example of this error is easily seen when we look at the historians of today who, after looking at the picture symbols which were used by Pharaoh Akhenaten (specifically the symbol of the sun with hands on its rays), declare that Akhenaten and his people were sun worshipers. In fact, Akhenaten was far from a sun worshiper--Akhenaten was a believer in the old religion of Isis, the mother of creations.

It is no accident that languages are a collection of symbols to which each civilization of the time has given definitions which tended to serve both, their actual needs and their acquired needs.

While the process might have been unknown to the members of the civilization in question, many of the symbols that were chosen by that civilization were actually chosen by the seemingly unrealized needs which came from the communication from FabricTime's needs, as well as from the civilization's LinearTime's needs. The needs which came from FabricTime were the communications to and from the pairing of each individual's spiritual aspect, the needs which came from his Ba, and the everyday needs which came from his Ka.

Neither is it an accident that the respective civilization (the Eastern and/or the Western hemispheres of this planet), the respective culture within that civilization (the countries within a given hemisphere), the respective subcultures of each respective culture (the myriad subdivisions of each culture, such as the ethnologic divisions--the divisions that are made by the speaking of a different language, and the divisions that are made by the belief in a different religion) tend to give their symbols definitions that are quite different, both in form and in content, than are the other's definitions.

The most confusing, and the most troublesome aspect of assigning definitions is when two or more divisions assign a different definition to the same symbol, or to a symbol that is so similar that each is easily confused for the other. This practice has caused much trouble in the world of the past, and is still causing much trouble in the world of today.

It is unfortunate that a symbol, once created, out lasts the civilization which created it. A language, once it has fallen into nonuse, can be remembered only by a select few--such as a civilization's historian. Unfortunately, when a language dies, so, too, die the special laws that keep right the definitions which were assigned to the words of that language. This is not true for the graphics (the lexicon) of that language. Seemingly, they live on forever.

In the process of seeking to educate the reader in the understanding of Arkashean Symbology, assumptions must be made. It is the hope that the assumptions which are made are taken in the vein in which they are given. It is not the purpose of this document to deny or to question an Individual's belief-system, nor is it this document's purpose to change the belief-system the reader may have. It is the purpose of this document to give the reader another thought, another point of view--the point of view of Arkasheans, both past and present.

As a starting point towards attempting to explain the levels of complication which exist in a language that is composed mainly of picture symbols (colors are, indeed, a part of the picture symbols), let us discuss the many different levels of symbolic communication. There is more involved to a language and its form of communication than the simple word or the simple picture which is used in simple or complex communications.

In the language of some civilizations, the art of communication extends to the colors which are used, and even to the clothes which the people of the time wore. This is especially true for both, the Arkashean of yesteryear, such as the people of Cumron valley, and the Arkashean of today. It is important to realize that when people dig up the remains of a past civilization, regardless if the workers like it or not, they are using Symbology to make meaning of their digs.

This is especially true when reading the symbols that are found in the Dead Sea scrolls, and in the remains, themselves. A good example of this confusion revealed itself when the researchers of antiquity found an old Arkashean Essene monastery site in Cumron valley and made the claim that the site was not an Essene site just because they found the remains of women and children. It is understandable how they made that judgment--they had little or no knowledge of the true history of the Essenes. The symbols that were found in the form of the remains of the people who resided in the old monastery site were, because of the researcher's limitations, misread. This misreading of the symbols has resulted in giving today's world misinformation--a lie, of sorts.

To an Arkashean, the Arkashean way of life, therefore the communication level which comes from an Arkashean, begins with the uniform of the day... It is a form of communication which begins visually, before the first word is spoken. This special communication, which comes from the uniform worn by an Arkashean, is basically sacred in its nature; in that, it is the Arkashean way of letting the people know that the wearer is a believer in the old ways. The communication is that the uniform is the symbol for the paradox of Man--the individual. The secondary level of the communication is that the Arkashean who is wearing the uniform becomes the symbol for Man--the TwinSpecies:Human.

As there are levels to communication, itself, so too, there are levels to the symbolic representation of the colors of the uniform which is worn by Arkasheans when they are within their respective Monastery--when Arkasheans are in the outside world (when they are not within the walls of their monastery), they try to wear the clothes of the time, so as to become unnoticed among the people of the times. The basic colors in an Arkashean uniform are red, white, and black.

Red:

On the highest level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the presence of the understanding of the unholy death which exists within the grave called The Grand Maya; on this level of communication, the color red becomes the color of the shroud of Maya... it is the color that is worn by the setting sun.
On the second level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the Blood-Mendella, the Individual's DoubleGate that is operated by each's Silver Chord which guards the individual's Ka.
On the third level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the pain which the residents of the trap of Maya must experience before freeing themselves from the attractions of their illusions which bind them to their Karma.
On the fourth level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the paradox of the life-giving rays of the sun which allow the residents of the grave called Maya to have and to maintain their form of unholy life within their illusions (while the word unholy is being used, it is important that the reader understand that evil is not the intended communication. That which is unholy is simply ascribed to being of the Earth level of existence, while that which is holy is ascribed to being not of Earth).
On the fifth level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the fluids which give life to all creations that are said to be possessed of life upon the lower physical planes of existence. It is the symbol for the fluid that transports The Breath Of Life to all parts of the physical body, independent of the form which that body takes. In the case of Plant Life, the fluid is called sap, while in the case of a mammal, the fluid is called blood.
Finally, on the sixth level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the Alliance Of The Rule--a reminder that the wearer is not a native to this level of experience... a reminder that the wearer is on this level to give service to the residents of this level of experience. He is not on this level of experience to serve himself... he has not truly become a resident of the level of madness.
On the seventh level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for The-Rule-of-Law. It is the understanding that each must be responsible for the thoughts, the emotions, and the deeds that drive each toward destiny.
On the eighth level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the limitations that each experiences via Cause & Effect. It is an understanding that each cannot use the deeds of others to make valid their own deeds, for wheal or for woe.
Finally, on the ninth level of communication, the color red, when worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the power of language. It is the recognition that language is not unlike the casting of a magic spell; in that, it is the specific words that are chosen that will create the illusion that, in turn, builds the value systems that will, in turn, drive the individual's reality.

Black:

On the highest level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the presence of all the pervading darkness which exists within each level of the Cocoon of Maya.
On the second level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the absence of the Holy Triunity of the lower physical realms of middle Earth--Understand, Forgive, and Love.
On the third level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the presence of the state of being ignorant of the laws which created the illusions which the individual finds himself in.
On the fourth level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for The Day Of The Long Sleep. It is the long sleep which life, itself, is perceived to take during the season's winter. It is celebrated on the day of the Winter Solstice. It also has the ability to represent the human condition's need to sleep a certain number of hours each day. It is the sleep that allows the physical body to regenerate itself.
On the fifth level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the seeming darkness which exists before the dawn of illumination. It is The Darkness Of Not Knowing when that Darkness of not knowing is soon followed by the breaking in of the illumination of understanding. It is the process of being ready for growth.
Finally, on the sixth level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the understanding that not all is lost--each individual still has The New Covenant as a final hope for redemption.
On the seventh level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the thread of growth that each is condemned to because of past choices. It is the beginning of understand.
On the eighth level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the darkness of the strong emotions that drive an individual into their karmic debts.
Finally, on the ninth level of communication, the color black, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the blindness that strong emotions bring. It is the understanding that when the governing power is great, the error that is made because of the strong emotions is equal to the greatness of the governing power.

White:

On the highest level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the field of courage. It is the reminder that each individual must have the necessary courage to face himself and to face his own harpy if he is to successfully change.
On the second level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the individual's Maat. Maat is, of course, the individual's inner state of unchanging truth... In the ever changing world that each individual finds themselves in, the stability within one's world can only be found by the individual's Maat--the truth of honor via his levels of truth.
On the third level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the brightness of the illumination which strikes the Ba when it is within the field of darkness. It is the signal that he, at least, has been born again, born into the world wherein he is in the service of his species, as opposed to being in the world wherein he is in the service of his own selfish desires.
On the fourth level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the presence of the Holy Trinity of this physical level--Understand, Forgive, Love.
On the fifth level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the understanding of the laws that govern the great circle we call The Chain. It is the act of, or the process of, denying one's position of exultation in the face of The GreatForce [The GreatForce that we might call God]. As each individual is but a link in The Chain. The GreatForce recognizes none as being better than the rest of his species; as in time, all will play the same role.
On the sixth level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the humility which understanding brings, an understanding that the TwinSpecies:Human, often called Man, is but a single point along the Continuum of Life; as such, each individual of the TwinSpecies:Human has a special responsibility to the other points of the Continuum of Life. To an Arkashean, all life is sacred.
On the seventh level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the field upon which each must face the battles that the individual's harpy forces upon them.
On the eight level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for each's willingness to do battle with his own errant emotions. It is, in a strange way, the field of battle upon which the individual fights himself.
Finally, the ninth level of communication, the color white, when it is worn by an Arkashean, becomes the symbol for the interaction between his courage, his steadfastness, his desires, and his hidden agenda as he strives to equalize his karmic debts.

As we can see, a simple thing like color can go a long way toward changing or modifying the process of communication.

Now, let us turn our attention to relatively simple graphic symbols wherein the lines, themselves, are what is important, as opposed to the color of the lines. These types of symbols do not deal with levels of communication, nor do they deal with the pairing of one symbol with that of another. One of the best ways of doing this is to trace the connection between two graphic symbols, and how they've changed as time passed--the biggest change in the meaning and in the graphics of a symbol is brought about because of the symbol's usage by the culture of another time.

In fig. #1 above, the reader will note the four different versions of the Ankh (the Ankh is the ancient symbol representing the giving of Life. It is divided into two parts, representing the duality aspect of Law--The Magic Circle and The Broken Cross. The Magic Circle is always found sitting... resting on top of one of the four aspects of The Broken Cross. It is never seen alone). In panel #1's top row, we can clearly see the Lemurian influence in the symbol. While it is very different from the three armed Broken Cross which is found in the Lemurian Ankh symbols for the builders of the creation of Life, as seen in Fig. #1's bottom row, it is, nonetheless, similar enough to see that both had the same origin.

The basic difference in the graphics is the position of the Magic Circle. This difference, however, is sufficient to have the ancient Egyptian culture change both, the definition and the name of the symbol. In fig. #1 the symbol's real name is today known as the Ankh, but it was once known as The Wand of Life. We can only assume that the ancient Egyptians wished to keep the connection between their version of the symbol and their teacher's version (the even more ancient Lemurian)--The Builder of Life, as seen in Fig. #2.

In panel #2 of Fig. #1, we see more of a change from the symbol shown in panel #1. The symbol now begins to resemble a standing man. Still, the Lemurian influence can be easily seen by the symbol below it. The symbol shown in panel #1 and in panel #2 existed in ancient Egypt before the sinking of Atlantis. The symbols shown in panel #3 and in panel #4 existed only after the sinking of Atlantis. It can easily be surmised that the Magi of later Egypt wanted a closer connection between the Wand of Life and the beings it controlled--in panel #3, the Ankh has become a stick-man. Finally, in panel #4, the symbol lost most of its manlike attributes and has taken on more of the attributes of The Broken Cross, itself (Fig. #2, panel #2). The reason for this final change has been lost.

Now, let us turn our attention to the most complicated form of picture writing. These symbols get their meaning only by pairing them with the symbol which is before it, the symbol which is after it, the symbol which is diagonally above it (both, to the right and to the left), the symbol directly above it, to the symbol which is diagonally below it (both to the right and to the left), and to the symbol which is directly below it. During the actual reading, it would not be unusual to have to read in a circular pairing direction to get the full meaning of the message. Furthermore, any symbol that was enclosed within a circle, or within a box had to be taken as a single thought that was to be paired with its neighboring symbols. Usually, there was a directional symbol to govern the manner of the reading.

Again, we must now remember that each symbol must not only deal with its pairing with other symbols, it must also deal with the symbol's six points of power--the six definitions for each symbol that it is paired with.

Example: In panel #1 of fig. #3, we have the symbol for the following concepts:

The Active aspect of creation;
The Male of a species;
The giver of the seed of Life;
The leader;
The Male Mate;
The man... a man.

In panel #2 of Fig. #3, we have the following six points of power:

In the beginning of the creation of the fulfilled continuum;
In the beginnings of the creation;
As creation, itself, centered [marked] the beginning of the fulfilled continuum;
As the creations were the center, therefore, the seed for the beginning of the fulfilled continuum;
As the fulfilled continuum was the beginning of the Royal Steering Current which governed the creations;
The Chi of creation, itself, begins the governing aspects of Royal Steering Currents.

In panel #3 of Fig. #3, we have the following:

within the house of...;
within or around the city, town, village, etc.;
within, around, or near...;
at around the time of...;
near the place where...;
including all of...

In panel #4 of Fig. #3, we have the following six levels of understandings:

At around the time of the beginnings of the creation of the species Man...;
At around the time of the active nature of creation...;
As a part of the creation of Man...;
in or near the beginnings of the house of Man...;
near the man...;
in the man's house....

In panel #5 of Fig. #3, we have the following:

before (a relationship between to or more things);
after (depending upon which side of the bar the item is placed);
long before (the length of the bar tells how long);
long after... (the length of the bar tells how long);
a separation... such as a fence, etc.;
the dividing line between....

In panel #6 of Fig. #3, the horizontal bar is one of the very few symbols that do not have six levels of understanding. It has only four, as follows:

above...;
below...;
in control of...;
under the control of...

Panel #7 of Fig. #3, has reference to the creation of Life upon the lower physical Planes of Existence of The Earth Experience.

Panels #8 and #9 are also symbols that do not have six levels of understanding. Very specifically, the possible meanings of panel #8 and #9 are:

mountains, hills, valleys, or box canyons;
being unstable between two or more parts of something;
consistently changing one's mind... the changing of one's point of view;
a jagged... a rough separation of some kind.

Panel #10 also has a few different meanings as follows:

a river;
waves;
brook;
water;
understanding;
awareness.

Panels 11 and 12 are two of the forms of The Broken Cross (see fig. 2).

Panel #13 is one of the very few that has no meaning, other than it is a grouping symbol-- everything within the square must be taken as a whole.

Panel #14, however, denotes opposites; such as, white vs. black; day vs. night; up vs. down, etc.

Panel #15's main communication is that of an un-seeing eye, such as when one is sleeping or when one is blind. It is interesting to note that the blindness need not be limited to a defective eye. It can also have reference to being unable to accept or to recognize a fact because of one's hidden agenda.

As we can see, each symbol can represent either a complete thought, or it can serve as a partial thought which gets its compliment by pairing it with other symbols. As an example, note the following excerpt from the Book Of Earth (Fig. #4), specifically, a small passage which gives information about the creation of law.

Notice that there is a box within a box which needs special attention. The contents of the small box must be read as though it were a single word within a larger communication. Notice, also, that within the small box there are directional symbols that guide the reading.

The translation of fig. #4 is as follows:

Around the time of the great beginning, in the beginning of the creation of the physical levels, before the beginnings of creation of the Active Force, before the creation of active awareness, Isis, the creator of MindForce, she who holds the wand of Life, itself, saw the creations under the Grand Builder of all controlling law.

Symbols are used by every living creature who is capable of any type of thinking process, or who resides upon any of the Levels of Observation that comprise the lower physical realms of the Earth Experience. This is because a life-form must be able to recognize the elements of its environment if it is to survive--the process of recognition requires the power of a type of language.

Even in telepathic communication (a type of communication that occurs under the veil of forgetfulness, and is therefore within an individual's unconscious memory), symbols are used... sometimes causing only confusion.

One of the most difficult areas in the understanding of symbols is when there is an attempted communication between the individual's state of dreams and the individual's awake state. This is because dream symbols are always fabric-like in their communication, as opposed to serving the individual's linear needs--the need to understand the cause & effect relationship of the deeds of their past, of their present, and of their future.

To make matters more confusing, for most, the dream communication (which is the limited communication that succeeds in penetrating the veils of the reality in question... the veils of forgetfulness that separate the A Happenings of the dream state from the A Happenings of the individual's awakened state) is never a complete remembering; in that, there often seems to be inconsistencies with respect to the A Happening time that is recalled once the individual has awakened.

It was once said that the process of communication is, at best, bemused, misused, and misunderstood. We are reminded of the first law of communication, which states:

Within the equation of communication, that which exists within the speaker's mind becomes unimportant... It is unimportant because the speaker has the responsibility. Within the equation of communication, it is what is in the listener's mind that becomes important... It is important because within the communication equation, the listener holds the power. The Listener holds the power to either accept, with understanding, the message that comes from a friend, or, reject the message which comes from an intrusion into their privacy.

It is because the speaker has the responsibility to see that the message that is being sent is the very message that is being received that the speaker should pay attention to what is in the listener's mind, as opposed to what is in the speaker's mind.

Under the usual set of circumstances, the average individual does not have to understand the mechanism of unconscious communication, even though he communicates unconsciously most of the time. Every waking moment the individual's Ba sends messages to his Ka. This special communication via the individual's Emotional Interchange Interface is always on the level of unconscious communications.

There is much bemusement when communication takes place unconsciously. This is because unconscious communication does not follow the same patterns as conscious communication. To make matters worse, conscious communication is often in contest with the on-going unconscious communication. As an example, while conscious communication symbols have, at the very least, six points of power, unconscious communication symbols have, at the very least, nine levels of understanding. And, it is not uncommon for the same symbol to be used in both types of communication... with or without the same definition. The nine levels of understanding which govern unconscious communication are divided according to the following:

The tree of Life. This level of communication usually has reference to the limitations that are imposed upon the various Planes of Existence, and their differing Levels of Observation. The symbols that fall under this section teach the individual the limiting aspect of Law. Basically, this level of Law is called Recursive Dialusion.
The state of awareness. This level of communication usually has reference to the Continuum of Awareness. Specifically, the symbols of this section teach the limits of an individual's potentials when that potential interacts with the individual's karmically assigned Circle of Awareness. This level is closely ganged with the law of the moment.
The emotions. This level of communication usually has reference to the lower level concerns of the individual. The symbols from this section teach of the ramifications of an individual's attachments to personal possessions. It teaches also of the pain which comes with rejection.
The Keys. This level of communication usually has reference to unconscious communications that are on-going from an individual's Ba. The symbols of this level of understanding teach of unseen wisdom which comes from unseen areas.
Swords. This level of communication usually has reference to limitations and other limits that are placed upon each individual because of his or her karmic bondings. The symbols of this section teach of the ramifications of the individual's behavior, the force of justice that is applied by the individual's society, and death: the great equalizer.
Cups. This level of communication usually has reference to the ramifications of the receptive nature of creation as thoughts, desires, and deeds interact with the individual's everyday life. They teach also of the different types of receptive natures, Man's need for differing nourishments, and the Individual's need and the society's need for retributions.
Pentacles. This level of communication usually has reference to the higher aspects of Man, the individual. The symbols of this section teach of E.S.P., spiritual aspects of Carnal knowledge, Psychic abilities that are possible, if Man is willing to pay the price of training, Internal power, and special understandings that come in the way of unconscious communications from the higher self.
Wands. This level of communication usually has reference to the lower gods and the trap which the lower gods set of the unsuspecting Man. The symbols of this section teach of vengeance, war, battles with the self, battles with others, fights, conflicts of all sorts, struggles between the self and the self's ego, and decisions of great importance.
The Major Arcana. This level of communication usually has reference to all aspects of history, laws of creation, and The Golden Scribe called Karma.

The oldest manuscript having reference to the beginnings of language comes from Pharaoh Akhenaten's Temple of Light. It reads as follows:

"Thus, was Pharaoh enlightened in a vision. Verily, verily, I say unto you that it came to pass that Man should wonder after the State of Their Awareness. For, in the course of their wanderings, they were plagued with the lack of rigidness of their symbols, of their symbol's definitions, and of their security with their drama.

"And, it came to pass that Man, in residence of their graves, lusted after the wonderment of creation, of communication, and of script. Hear, therefore, the nature of the illusion called communication.

"When Man, the new creation, awakened upon the face of the Earth in their coats of skin, it was discovered that they could no longer divine the thoughts of their brothers, nor could they return to the state from whence they came. A great separation came into being between each individual and his brother. The force that was evoked to create and maintain their reality also kept them prisoner within the borders of that reality. Lo and behold, they were, indeed, found to be unique--each to the last experience.

"With the passage of time, Man, both the male and the female, did discover language--a system of symbols with which to transfer their thoughts, because they could no longer divine. However, it was discovered that not all symbols could be understood by all of Man. And, as Man, both the male and the female, did separate across the land of their birth, so too, did their symbols separate until there came to be among them a great house of babble.

"With the advent of time, those who were more learned from among them became wise. They did divine the art of Geometric. And, with their ciphers, they did discover that all things were relative; in that, they had to be thought of in terms of the symbols of their language. And, language, itself, was, as were all the symbols within the language, extremely arbitrary. It became known to all that all symbols were unsure of their meanings, as there was much bemusement upon the land.

"Behold therefore, make not your thoughts as rigid as is the tablet upon which your script appears. Ponder, therefore, all aspects of a nature. Limit not yourself, nor the thoughts of others unto the love of your own words. The words, the thoughts, and the script of others, though not of your tribe may be different, but they have equal validity in the grave. Pattern your thoughts and its process as is the pattern of language, by remembering that all is, in its own nature, arbitrary, as all truths are arbitrary in time."

As said earlier, the greatest difficulty during the communication process lies when said communication is between the different parts of the individual. When the Ba seeks to communicate to the Ka, the message most always either gets confused, bemused, or missed all together. This is because of two things. Firstly, communications from the Ba come in difficult to understand language, and secondly, communications from the Ba are often in contest with the individual's chosen course of action. However, more often than not, the communication takes place either on the unconsciousness level, or upon the dream state.

Communication becomes especially difficult when it comes upon the dream state. One of the reasons for this bemusement... for this confusement is that few can remember everything that was said in a dream. Fewer, still, are those who can remember all the A Happenings of a dream. Also, when communication takes place across a placental barrier, such as different levels... such as an individual's dream level and the awake level, special care must be taken to account for the seeming reversal of laws that come when thoughts travel from one plane of existence to the next as the conscious mind awakes and tries to remember.

Though this is a very complex subject, regardless of the level of communication, there can be no transfer of thoughts without the pairing of a symbol and a definition. The following is an attempt to suggest... to give possible pairings. It is hoped that the following pairs will help clarify some unconscious Symbology that could confuse the reader as they seek to piece together their dream level communications.

Firstly, we must accept that all pawns of the dream are related to the dreamer in some way. In a dream communication, a tree is not always just a tree. The following list will talk about simple symbols and the concepts they might represent. Then, we will seek to pair these simple symbols with other symbols, to enhance their overall meaning... to better understand the deeper messages that the dream is trying to give.

The following is a fundamental list from which we can begin to build. In cases wherein the symbol reflects itself, such as when a tree is really just a tree, that level of understanding will not be listed:

THINGS

Earth: feelings of being grounded... various levels of trappedness... harpies that hold one to serve the lower gods, such as sex, satisfaction of emotions, etc. The symbol is also representative of a specific low level point of view... a point of view that could be religious in nature, but devoid of spirituality. The colors will modify the specifics involved.
Fire: an agent for change, the suggestion that a change is needed to achieve some type of goal. The process of losing something, the threat of having something taken away.
Water: the prime symbol for awareness. Water, or any fluid, has reference to levels of understanding. If the fluid is clear, the resulting communication has reference to some type of good... of pleasing awareness. When the fluid is of a certain color, the color of the fluid will denote the type of awareness. When the fluid is dark or very cloudy, the communication is having reference to unpleasant understanding... to dark or evil awareness... to not so good attitudes.
Air: the feeling of the freedom of life, itself... the relaxation of not being driven to succeed... the feeling or desire to be unfettered by the cares of responsibility. The color and the degree of motion will modify the specifics.

If the sun is low on the horizon, and there is a feeling of it being morning, the message could be that a new level of independence is coming. If it is sunset, it foretells the end of one support system and the beginning of a new way of life. Again, the color of the sun will modify the message according to the color's meaning. As an example, if the sun is yellow, the message of that of intelligence. If the sun is green, the message is that of a great change. If the sun is blue, the message is that of devotion.

The color of the hole will modify the specifics, not only with respect to subject, but with respect to if the message is acceptable or unacceptable... with respect to if the message is considered to be good or evil.
