Ancient Symbols, meanings of symbols from Ancient Egyptian, Celtic, Greek, etc. Walter Russell Walter Russell (May 19, 1871 – May 19, 1963) was a controversial figure in physics and cosmogony. He posited that the universe was founded on the unifying principle of rhythmic balanced interchange. Although a number of his books have been published, few of his claims have been verified by mainstream academics. Sourced[edit] The Man who Tapped the Secrets of the Universe[edit] Written by Glenn Clark "I have found out that the real essentials of greatness in men are not written in books, nor can they be found in the schools, They are written into the inner consciousness of everyone who intensely searches for perfection in creative achievement and are understandable to such men only.""

The symbol of the Swastika and its 12,000-year-old history The swastika is a symbol used by of one of the most hated men on Earth, a symbol that represents the slaughter of millions of people and one of the most destructive wars on Earth. But Adolf Hitler was not the first to use this symbol. In fact, it was used as a powerful symbol thousands of years before him, across many cultures and continents. For the Hindus and Buddhists in India and other Asian countries, the swastika was an important symbol for many thousands of years and, to this day, the symbol can still be seen in abundance - on temples, buses, taxis, and on the cover of books. It was also used in Ancient Greece and can be found in the remains of the ancient city of Troy, which existed 4,000 years ago. The word ‘swastika’ is a Sanskrit word (‘svasktika’) meaning ‘It is’, ‘Well Being’, ‘Good Existence, and ‘Good Luck’. A Sanskrit scholar P. In Buddhism, the swastika is a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, abundance and eternity. By John Black Related Links The History of the Swastika
Ley Lines and The Meaning Of Adam Ley Lines and The Meaning Of Adam by Richard Leviton and Robert Coons "As Above, So Below" - Hermes Trismegistos Hermes' Geomancy Looming behind all concepts of the planetary Grid stands the ancient magus, Hermes Trismegistos, Thrice-Greatest Master Geomancer of Earth, with his Smagdarine Emerald Tablets, the keys to Gaia's (Earth's) energy body. That same master Grid engineer, the Gods' messenger for Earth, later passed the flame of his mastery, for our time, to the Archangel Michael with his solar initiatory sword. Our Ariadne's thread out of this bewildering maze of physical life on Earth is the ley line. The Grid has been variously described by poets and clairvoyants in recent times. A personal acquaintance of mine in England summed it up lucidly: "I saw the Earth as a fishnet web of light lines. The Hermetic Keys to the planetary Grid are inscribed on the Messenger's mythical Emerald Tablets, which summarize the 7 Hermetic Principles underlying all manifestation. Diagram 1 Diagram 2
The Book of Symbols: Carl Jung’s Catalog of the Unconscious by Kirstin Butler Why Sarah Palin identifies with the grizzly bear, or what the unconscious knows but doesn’t reveal. A primary method for making sense of the world is by interpreting its symbols. We decode meaning through images and, often without realizing, are swayed by the power of their attendant associations. A central proponent of this theory, iconic Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Gustaf Jung, made an academic case for it in the now-classic Man and His Symbols, and a much more personal case in The Red Book. Beginning in the 1930s, Jung’s devotees started collecting mythological, ritualistic, and symbolic imagery under the auspices of The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism (ARAS), an organization with institutes throughout the U.S. You can browse through ARAS via a list of common archetypes, or search by word, producing a cross-indexed result with thumbnail images and a timeline of where and when that idea appeared throughout history.

Sacred Mathematics Sacred Mathematics, by way of definition, refers to the concepts which, according to ancient (and a few modern) scholars, encompassed all of creation in mathematical terms. It includes numerical ratios of the most profound significance (literally Transcendental Numbers), the nature of numbers themselves (Numerology), their mutual relationship (Astrology), strange beasts such as Magic Squares Sacred Geometry which seem to defy logical or rational explanation, and the manner in which all of these aspects describe the universe. More information on this topic can be found at the Halexandria Forums. Sacred Mathematics represents a wholly contained and internally consistent philosophy -- a philosophy which describes physical reality, its cosmogony and every aspect of its science. This profoundly philosophical interpretation or Mathematical Theory is echoed in many spiritual traditions. Sacred Mathematics is not exclusively about geometry, however. Forms, patterns, geometries, ratios...
10 Spiritual Symbols You MUST Know Spiritual symbols are everywhere in our world! In fact they’re so pervasive, it’s almost hard to distinguish- and know- about them all. Luckily, we’ve done the work for you. SEE ALSO: Understanding Buddhism: 10 Reasons It’s NOT A Religion Hamsa Hamsa is the Hebrew word meaning “five”, and is represented with a palm-shaped amulet and an eye in the middle of the palm. Used by many societies throughout history, it’s purpose is to ward off negative energy and the “evil eye”, a malicious stare that’s said to cause unluckiness, illness, or even death. Many religions have used this symbol for their own purposes, including Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The Flower of Life This symbol could be considered king in sacred geometry! Said to contain all the patterns of creation in it, the Flower of Life is possibly the most ancient symbol on this list, used since the time of the Sumerians (the first civilization in the world).

Il simbolo dell'infinito Non aver cominciato prima. Questo è stato forse il rimpianto di John Wallis , il più grande matematico britannico prima di Isaac Newton , al momento di morire l’ 8 novembre 1703 . Forse l’uomo al quale dobbiamo l’otto rovesciato ( lemniscata ) come simbolo del concetto di infinito pensava che se avesse coltivato la scienza dei numeri sin da bambino avrebbe potuto ottenere risultati migliori. Il suo primo incontro con la matematica , infatti, non era avvenuto se non all’età di 15 anni, quando gli era capitato tra le mani il libro di aritmetica del fratello maggiore. Affascinato da quell’insieme di simboli e numeri, John studiò per tutta la notte insieme al fratello, fino a riuscire a padroneggiarne il contenuto come se non si fosse mai dedicato ad altro. Tuttavia questo suo straordinario talento non fu riconosciuto. Durante quegli otto anni, John aveva studiato la matematica solo nel suo tempo libero, dedicandoci ore sottratte al riposo o allo svago.
Harmonic Interference Theory - A Thorough Explanation Harmonic Interference Theory is a set of thirty-four principles that explain music perception using the underlying physics of a harmonic standing wave. Based on a mathematical balance between resonance and damping found in all coherently vibrating mediums, perceptual qualities in music can be modeled organically using what is called a 'reflective interference function' between the harmonic and Fibonacci series. This organic model is then used to explain how musical timbre and harmony can be pattern matched recursively as cymatic geometries in the ear and brain. While the theory deals specifically with the question of music perception, the same universal principles can be used to explain other natural phenomena, such as how star systems harmonically self-organize, how matter self-organizes into living carbon-water crystals and how self-awareness emerges from physiological resonance.

The Fine Art of Italian Hand Gestures: A Vintage Visual Dictionary by Bruno Munari by Maria Popova A pocket guide to Neapolitan nonverbal communication. Somewhere between his seminal manifestos on design as art and his timelessly delightful children’s books, legendary Italian artist and graphic designer Bruno Munari made time for a number of idiosyncratic side projects. In the short preface, Munari notes the globalization of nonverbal vernacular, as Neapolitan gestures begin being recognized worldwide and American imports like “OK” permeate Italian culture, then promises: We have collected a good many gestures, leaving aside vulgar ones, in order to give an idea of their meaning to foreigners visiting Italy and as a supplement to an Italian dictionary. Old Neapolitan gestures, from left to right: money, past times, affirmation, stupid, good, wait a moment, to walk backward, to steal, horns, to ask for. Another illustrated page of the book of Canon Andrea de Jorio. Gestures of drinking and eating (from an old Neapolitan print) 'You make a mockery of the 'madam'!'
Controversial Theory Suggests Time Travel Can Result In Killing Your Doppelganger MessageToEagle.com - So you want to travel back in time and see the past and meet your ancestors? Are you really sure about that? Because if you do that, you will most likely kill your doppelganger. Many people are fascinated with time travel and more and more scientists seriously consider the idea that traveling to the past or future could be possible under certain circumstances. A new controversial theory put forward by physicist, Professor Robert Nemiroff suggests that time travel can result in killing your doppelganger. The act of time-traveling would create several versions of you, some living in the present, while others move to the past. Your doppelgangers will be destined to meet up, and when they do, they will ultimately destroy each other. It may sound like science fiction, but one theoretical physicist has worked out mathematical equations to show how this might work using our current understanding of science. 'But what about the past? See also: MessageToEagle.com. Source:
Meaning of the Ankh, an Ancient Egyptian Symbol The ankh is the most well-known symbol to come out of ancient Egypt. In their hieroglyphic system of writing the ankh represents the concept of eternal life, and that is the general meaning of the symbol. Construction of the Image The ankh is an oval or point-down teardrop set atop a T shape. The most commonly repeated explanation is that it is a union of a female symbol (the oval, representing the vagina or uterus) with a male symbol (the phallic upright line), but there's no actual evidence supporting that interpretation. Funeral Context The ankh is generally displayed in association with the gods. There are also funerary statues of pharaohs in which an ankh is clutched in each hand, although a crook and flail — symbols of authority — are more common. Purification Context There are also images of gods pouring water over the head of the pharaoh as part of a purification ritual, with the water being represented by chains of ankhs and was (representing power and dominion) symbols.
