    It's really easy to pass over a thread if you aren't interested or have nothing good to say, please take this opportunity to do so if that's the case.

    Hey, don't worry. I'll keep my trap shut.

    The most popular variant of the phoenix has the bird living in Arabia for 500 years at the end of which era it burns itself and its nest. In the version of the phoenix described by Clement, an ante-Nicene father, the phoenix' nest is made of frankincense, myrrh and other spices. A new phoenix always rises from the ashes.
    Hm...a nest, made of frankincense and myrrh. I recall a similar tale.

    Default The Phoenix Rises

    in allusion to NASA's use of the term would indicate that by going to Mars, it will be Mars itself that is being reborn anew in contrast to what once was.
    How can something that did not exist, according to our current popular propagated view of antiquity, be reborn?
    Slight allusion by the sorcerers and mystics of our time....aka NASA.

    So what you're saying Aesculapius is that logos and modern uses of specific terms harken back to older, established symbolisms with possibly a connective factor to life itself?

    That a+b=c even if the equation reads a+x=c whereas x will always equal a,b or c depending upon the placement of x?

    Default Symbolic literacy,

    unequivocally, dominates the dictation of esoteric teachings across the spectrum of mystery schools throughout antiquity.
    Sai King so thoughtfully filled his magnum opus, what we all so lovingly cherish here, to the brim with examples of just this sort of imagery.

    Anyone remember the Protectors of the Rose thread back at tdt.net? I'm sure it hasn't been posted in in years, but it was chalk full of what Mr. St. Pierre is talking about.

    No, no...I'm sorry you must have misunderstood me. I didn't think you were being sarcastic at all. I see how my post may have come off like that, but I meant you obviously DO have the eyes to see. And yes, when it clicks it definitely clicks..

    I believe that everything we encounter through all of our available senses eventually becomes images in the mind, pushed along through our synapses by light.


    I also believe in 'the journey', and 'the pilgrimage'.
    This idea of 'The Phoenix' and 'The Pilgrim' extend well beyond the Sumerians and the folks of Nabta...two of the oldest forms of civilization.

    Indeed (if I was reading your question correctly).

    If the two expressions are equal to each other and you add or subtract the exact same thing to both sides, the two sides will remain equal.

    If that wasn't what you were getting at, could you use an example?
