RE: The Four Elements and the Elemental Quaternity of Life

in #symbolism8 years ago (edited)

So far @krnel, this is my favourite write up of yours, great job! Epic piece definitely worth reading.

"(...) through analogous correspondence in mythopoetic metaphors, allegories and narratives.", one finds ways to share the fruit of an experience. To my experiential-knowledge, this is the number one reason why poetry and myths are so important in the development of our communication as human beings. Though we are using fingers to point at the moon, the one with wisdom will try to see the moon where the other ones will look at your fingers.

Positing "that much of the symbolism reveals deeper wisdom about how to live life correctly (i.e. morality) and other self-knowledge. It was developed, and encoded, through esoteric symbolism in metaphor, analogies, allegories, and parables, using references to ourselves and reality in order to provide a comparative framework for understanding." is a very powerful statement to which I strongly relate. I can't help but wonder how does one relate an experience when the form of the droplet of one's soul evaporates to the ocean of oneness? In other words, what words would one use to relate to another human being, the experience of the self evaporating and beyond that point? So far, the answer remains the same and underline again and even more so the power of the presence of myths, poetry and semiotic, in general and especially in mathematics, in our communication attempts.

I love how you bring about the idea that our consciousness experiences first showing the logical idea that consciousness itself is found in a movement of logical growth coming second to the primacy of existence itself. When both the experience of existence and consciousness come as one there is enlightenment.

As you say, "We are building symbols from knowledge that is derived from existence." and, if we are to put the two thoughts together, this seems to me as underlining our comprehension of our experience of existence itself as a function of our consciousness span...

Therefore, "If there is a contradiction between the model and existence, then in all likelihood the model is flawed." or is not correlative to the experience of someone's else attempt at pointing to their own experience of either, self, comprehension of their consciousness or, usually even more importantly so, the experience of existence itself.

Since every example as its flaws, I have came to understand the different representations within the context of their understanding which is function of their consciousness degree of attainment, historicity and how the experience of realities have found a path to oneness in their awareness.

Again, I want to thank you for this brilliant piece, it makes my heart to happy to be following your work, and even more so to connect with you on such matters. All for one and one for all, namaste :)
