Ancient Symbolism

If you begin to explore history you will find that our ancients were much more connected, to metaphors and the relationship between things than we are today. Even though our dollar bill and government buildings are littered with symbolism, the uninitiated masses are entirely disconnected from the ancient practice of incorporating symbolism into our culture.

Eternal

The wisdom of the ancients accentuated the eternal relationship between everything in reality. That everything was one. Though objects may seem unrelated, the ancients recognized qualities that made them different forms of the same thing. They saw the interweaving intelligence and singularity that persists through all things.

In ancient times, and still today, certain groups of people practiced the art of alchemy. Known for being the process of turning lead to gold, to the initiated however, it goes beyond the physical plane and refers to a process that takes place on the spiritual plane.

Lead To Gold…

Wonder

Do you ever wonder why, or how, or when? I’m sure you have. We all have this sense of wonder and curiosity no matter what it pertains to, or did at some point in time. As kids we ask innumerable questions about why something is the way it is, or how it became that way. But it seems as adults our sense of wonder dies down, at least for most of us. Perhaps we think we know it all, or perhaps more commonly, we have little time to designate to our curiosity. Or maybe its due to the large organizations (religion and science) that seem to have the answers to all of this, leaving us to more important tasks as contributing to the GDP. I guess if we wondered for too long it may not get us anywhere, or maybe we have figured it all out already and there is no need to explore our wonder any further.
