It was Confucius who once famously stated that "signs and symbols rule the world not words or laws." There is some truth to that and also therein a conflict between both methods as to which one will ultimately rule. It's prevalent appearance in our modern culture shows us that its hidden meaning must be of some significance or why would major corporate companies choose it as their logo.

| An example of a symbol wishing to rule as a master over us. |
The sense evolution in Greek is from "throwing things together" to "contrasting" to "comparing" to "token used in comparisons to determine if something is genuine." Hence, "outward sign" of something. The meaning "something which stands for something else" was first recorded in 1590, in Edmund Spenser's Faerie Queene.
Sounds like akin to being struck by a lightning bolt or an arrow of sorts.
In considering the effect of a symbol on the psyche,in his seminal essay The Symbol without Meaning Joseph Campbell proposes the following definition: A symbol is an energy evoking, and directing,agent.
What type of energy is it however that is being directed at us? I get the impression that the powers that be do not wish to direct positive healing powers in our direction but rather ones that will keep us in bond age to their rule.
In Heinrich Zimmer's book Signs and Symbols, he states that "a symbol ... is a visual image or sign representing an idea -- a deeper indicator of a universal truth". Symbols are a means of complex communication that often can have multiple levels of meaning. This separates symbols from signs, as signs have only one meaning.
However whose truth and whose ideas are being shown to us on a daily basis in our modern culture?
Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung, who studied archetypes, proposed an alternative definition of symbol, distinguishing it from the term sign. In Jung's view, a sign stands for something known, as a word stands for its referent. He contrasted this with symbol, which he used to stand for something that is unknown and that cannot be made clear or precise.
To a child, signs and symbols emerge in the consciousness prior to an understanding of governing rules. Children see the world in deeply symbolic terms.
We teach children through signs and symbols, red means hot, blue means cold, an arrow means to go this way or that, etc. The physical world is discovered through tactile sensation; the feel of a mother’s breast, the touch of a bare foot on wet grass, the way food feels on the lips.
All the senses combine to create the initial response vocabulary through which the child interacts with his or her surroundings for the rest of their lives. Hot, Cold, Up and Down, Over there and Over here begin with the physical senses. But tactile sensation is insufficient for creating the intellectual vocabulary that the child will employ to define his or her place in the world.
This requires an initiation into semiotics (the study of signs and symbols). By developing an understanding of the meaning behind signs and symbols the child learns to see beyond the surface to what lies beneath and to develop a critical eye for nuances; to discern between the representation of the thing and the thing itself and thus to see the genuine from the artificial.

However we still do not know the true effect of symbols on the human mind all we do know is that if they are repeated often enough we start to associate them with certain ideas and emotions such as pleasure and pain, good and bad, cool and not so cool.
The above brand was launched in 1933 and the parent company Brown and William son were involved in genetically modifying tobacco with the Y strain and in this packaging the M for Master is placed larger than the other letters at the bottom. Of course the Master is a Kool guy the ultimate hero archetype who we all aspire to who only wants whats best for us and who has been placed into our collective consciousness throughout the ages. He will arrive apparently as a saviour type figure at a future date to rescue us from our oppressors.

So the template of signs and symbols that we learn from childhood are already decided for us but by who....is it us creating these symbols or is it some outside force wanting us to follow their rules, beliefs, ideas and meanings.
Coco Chanel's use of stars was inspired by a pavement in Aubezine a monastary in France where she grew up as a orphan. The interlocking C's came from stained glass windows in an Aubezine chapel which featured interlocking curves.
http://fashionista.com/2011/11/the-origin-of-chanels-interlocking-cs-logo-and-six-other-cool-things-we-learned-about-the-history-of-chanel#1
Aubezine belonged to the Cistercian Order or
SI STAR CAIN...which was founded by St Bernard of Clairvaux the man at the centre of the Knights Templar who was the main driving force behind the Second Crusade and an important member of the Priory of Sion an important branch of the Secret Brotherhood.This symbol is of course more ancient in origin but used by the Brotherhood throughout the centuries. The Cistercians were also known as the the sister order of the Templars and Bernie was also given the title of Doctor of the Church. The Templars were also the bankers of their day and more wealthy than kings.
So what does this symbol represent? It is placed on fashion items and products throughout the world and as with the MasterCard is associated with money and is seen as a symbol of wealth and status.
It is my belief that there are many meanings to this symbol but we will discuss a few of the most obvious ones to begin with.
The vesica piscis has been the subject of mystical speculation at several periods of history, and is viewed as important in some forms of Kabbalah. More recently, numerous New Age authors have interpreted it as a yonic symbol and claimed that this, a reference to the female genitals, is a traditional interpretation.
One author claims that the total solar eclipse inspires images of the vesica piscis. The ancient Egyptians practiced sacred geometry based on the shape. Architects and artists copied the solar eclipse/vesica piscis and its mathematics in their sacred buildings and artwork to reflect their religious beliefs. This ancient tradition was passed on through the centuries by the Freemasons.
In Christian art, some aureolas are in the shape of a vertically oriented vesica piscis, and the seals of ecclesiastical organizations can be enclosed within a vertically oriented vesica piscis (instead of the more usual circular enclosure).
The cover of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury (Somerset, United Kingdom) depicts a stylized version of the vesica piscis design.
The vesica piscis is also used as proportioning system in architecture, in particular Gothic architecture. The system was illustrated in Cesare Cesariano's Vitruvius (1521), which he called "the rule of the German architects".
In Book III of his treatise De Architectura, Vitruvius wrote:
'For if a man be placed flat on his back, with his hands and feet extended, and a pair of compasses centered at his navel, the fingers and toes of his two hands and feet will touch the circumference of a circle described therefrom.
'And just as the human body yields a circular outline, so too a square figure may be found from it.'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_architectura
Leonardo Da Vinci also believed humankind represented a microcosm of the universe, and believed his images showed that.
He wrote in a notebook entry dated to around 1492: 'By the ancients man has been called the world in miniature; and certainly this name is well bestowed, because, inasmuch as man is composed of earth, water, air and fire, his body resembles that of the earth.'
This concept of Da Vinci's is much studied and admired by the Brotherhood who wish to bring about a transformation process for mankind.
This idea that we are a separate world/dimen sion in miniature is intriguing as it is depicted in many works of fiction including Gulliver's Travels and Alice in Wonderland. It could also help to explain the ancient stories and archaeological evidence of giants roaming the earth. The concept being that in order to travel from this world/dimension to another by default you have to change size growing larger or smaller depending on which direction you are going. However that is a separate experiment to carry out at another time.
The vesica piscis is a shape that is the intersection of two circles with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. The name literally means the "bladder of a fish" in Latin. The shape is also called mandorla ("almond" in Italian).
The term is also used more generally for any symmetric lens.
Here are some of the most common meanings
1) The joining of God and Goddess to create an offspring,
2) A symbol for Jesus Christ,
3) In art a pointed oval used as an aureole in medieval sculpture and painting,
4) The vagina of the female goddess,
5) The basic motif in the Flower of Life,
6) An overlay of the Tree of Life,
7) The formative power of polygons,
8) A geometrical description of square roots and harmonic proportions, and/or
7) A source of immense power and energy,
In the earliest traditions one version of the supreme being was represented by a sphere, the symbol of a being with no beginning and no end, continually existing, perfectly formed and profoundly symmetrical. The addition of a second sphere represented the expansion of unity into the duality of male and female, god and goddess. By overlapping, the two spheres, the god and goddess created a divine offspring.
The Vesica Pisces motif (and its derivatives, the Flower of Life, Tree of Life, and fundamentals of geometry) has a history of thousands of years and easily predates virtually all major religions of the current era. The son and daughter of the god and goddess is associated with the overlapping of the spheres -- the resulting three dimensional figure
This is a depiction of the Sun God making his way past the four guardians/creatures through the inter-dimensional gateway/portal to be reborn and to usher in his reign over the universe and to sit on the Holy of Holies.
I will now discuss another title related to the Sun.... LORD it means Baal.
BA'AL, n. An idol among the ancient Chaldeans and Syrians, representing the sun. The word signifies also master, lord, or commander; and the character of the idol was varied by different nations, at different times. Thus Baal Berith is supposed to signify the Lord of the Covenant; Baal Peor, or rather Baal Phegor, the Lord of the dead. Ps. cvi, Baal Zebub, the lord of flies.
In the Old Testament denotes an idol of the Phoenicians, and particularly of the Tyrians, whose worship was also introduced with great solemnities among the Hebrews, and especially at Samaria, along with that of Astarte, Jud 6:25-32 2 Kings 10:18,28. The plural, Baalim, signifies images or statues of Baal, Jud 2:11 10:10. Of the extent to which the worship of this idol was domesticated among the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, we have an evidence in the proper names of persons; as, among the former, Ethbaal, Jerubbaal; and among the latter, Hannibal, Asdrubal, etc.
Among the Babylonians, the same idol was worshiped under the name of BEL, which is only another form of the word Baal, Isaiah 46:1 Jeremiah 50:2 51:44. The worship of Baal was established in Babylon in the famous tower of Babel, the uppermost room of which served at the same time as an observatory, and as the repository of a collection of astronomical observations.
That in the astronomical, or rather, astrological mythology of the East, we are to look for the origin of this worship in the adoration of the heavenly bodies, is conceded by all critics. The more common opinion has been, that Baal, or Bel, is the sun; and that, under this name, this luminary received divine honors.
But the Greek and Roman writers give to the Babylonian Bel the name of Jupiter Belus, meaning the planet Jupiter, which was regarded, along with the planet Venus, as the guardian and giver of all good fortune; and formed, with Venus, the most fortunate of all constellations, under which alone fortunate sovereigns could be born. This planet, therefore, many suppose to have been the object of worship under the name of Baal, as also the planet Venus under that of Astarte. Not that the sun was not an object of idolatrous worship among these nations, but in that case he is represented under his own name; as 2 Kings 23:11.
It is evident from Hosea and 1-2 Kgs that both the cult of the Canaanite god and the assimilation of Yehwah to Baal were prevalent dangers to Israelite religion in Amos' day. In other words the worship of Yehwah was corrupted in Israel as the people fell away and followed (Baal the Lord) so they transferred the name of Lord back when they returned to worshiping Yehwah.
Hosea 2 16 And it will come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Yehwah, you will call Me -- My husband, And will not call Me any more -- My lord.(baal).
17 And I have turned aside the names of the lords (baal's) from her mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their name.
Virtually every medieval church in Europe uses as a standard motif, the Vesica Pisces in two dimensions. The fact many of these churches were dedicated to the Virgin Mary or to Mary Magdalene (aka the goddess) is simply part of the understanding. Several of the churches in northern France are even located in such a manner that their points of light recreate the “lights” of the constellation Virgo. In Glastonbury, England, the site normally attributed to Avalon (the island of the Goddess), is also where the Chapel of St. Mary is located.
Sheela -na-gig the Celtic goddess and her symbol of an open vagina was placed over the doorway of churches as if entering from one realm to the next. Many academics believe she was an ancient pagan goddess although she is also found in many Christian Anglo-Norman churches.

So we have two separate events and beings being depicted as emerging through the the visica pisces, one male, one female, one a sun god and one a moon goddess.
This would also mean that it represents two eclipses one lunar and one solar.
The goddess entering through the silver gate and the sun god entering through the golden gate.
In Mark Percy's Appendix to the unique book, Two Thirds, Aulis Publishers, London, 1993] the square roots of 2, 3, and 5 (three of the first digits in the Fibonacci Numbers) can be geometrically calculated.
The numbers 2,5 and 3 can also represent a date which signifies the reappearance of the goddess.
The part between the two spheres of the vesica pisces has also been used by Christians (more recently on car bumpers) as a fish symbol to supposedly represent their version of the Christ and to identify them as his followers. They however totally ignore or fail to examine as to what this symbol actually represents.
Let us first see how it reappeared again in our modern culture....
The "Jesus Fish" was rebirthed in the early 70s to become an icon of modern Christianity recognized around the world. It was caused through a chain of circumstances. First the Vietnam War caused distrust and peaceful rebellion within the younger generations of Americans and Australians. In 1973 they brought the symbol and message to the Aquarius Rock Festival in Nimbin Australia. From there it became a household symbol around the world.
Nimbin and surrounding areas are part of what is known as the "Rainbow Region", which is of cultural importance to the Indigenous Bundjalung people. The name Nimbin comes from the local Whiyabul (Widgibal) clan whose Dreamtime speaks of the Nimbinjee spirit people protecting the area. In recent decades, since 1973, the area has become a haven for firstly hippies then the new age movement, and the base of Australia's counterculture.
In the animist framework of Australian Aboriginal mythology, Dreamtime is a place beyond time and space in which the past, present, and future exist wholly as one. Tribespeople could enter this alternate universe through dreams or various states of altered consciousness, as well as death, Dreamtime being considered the final destination before reincarnation.
Sort of a place between two worlds just as one of the meanings for the vesica pisces represents. So the Christians took a symbol from the hippie new age movement and tried to make it Christian partly by linking it to Bible stories.
It came from the Aquarian rock which represent the new Aquarian age and the rock who appears as this new age dawns.
A fish swims in water it cannot survive outside of that environment which is why the age of Aquarius (water) has to come to enable this hero/saviour archetype to be reborn. The age of Pisces and Aquarius represent the same being the saviour who will arrive just in time to rescue mankind.
I am trying ever so gently to show that whatever our world view or religious beliefs this story which has been placed before us has been running on a loop since the beginning of time.
So let us trace this symbol of the fish back further. There is evidence that the early church at least from the second century used the term Ichthys along with the fish symbol to represent Christ.
.jpg)
Christians used the fish symbol as a secret sign or symbol to identify each other as belonging to their religion.
In pagan beliefs, Ichthys was the offspring of the ancient Sea goddess Atargatis, and was known in various mythic systems as Tirgata, Aphrodite, Pelagia, or Delphine. Atargatis was the Syrian version of the Canaanite goddess Ashteroth.
http://www.space.com/27338-total-lunar-eclipse-rare-sunrise-selenelion.html
Her consort is usually Hadad. As Ataratheh, doves and fish were considered sacred by her: doves as an emblem of the Love-Goddess, and fish as symbolic of the fertility and life of the waters.
The word also meant "womb" and "dolphin" in some tongues, and representations of this appeared in the depiction of mermaids. The fish is also a central element in other stories, including the Goddess of Ephesus, as well as the tale of the fish of the Nile that swallowed part of Osiris' body (the penis), and was also considered a symbol of the sexuality of Isis for she had sexual intercourse with Osiris after his death which resulted in the conception and birth of his posthumous son, Harpocrates, Horus-the-child. So, in pagan beliefs, the fish is a symbol of birth and fertility.
In certain non-Christian beliefs the fish also has been identified with reincarnation and the life force. Sir James George Frazer noted in his work, "Adonis, Attis, Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion" (Part Four of his larger work, "The Golden Bough") that among one group in India, the fish was believed to house a deceased soul, and that as part of a fertility ritual specific fish is eaten in the belief that it will be reincarnated in a newborn child.
Before Christianity adopted the fish symbol, it was known by pagans as "the Great Mother", and "womb". Its link to fertility, birth, and the natural force of women was acknowledged also by the Celts, as well as pagan cultures throughout northern Europe. Men used to castrate themselves in worship to her so much for the love goddess. Going by her name she is coming through S (A)TARGAT (E) IS.
Atargatis was worshipped in Syria in the city of Ascalon, a town said to be famous for its scal lions (literally "onions of Ascalon"), later called Hieropolis or Bambyce by the Greeks and one of the five main cities of the Philistines.(Phoenicians) It was located on the Mediterranean coast about 40 miles south west of Jerusalem. Herodotus credits her temple there as being the oldest temple to Aphrodite (what he calls Atargatis) in the world, and the inspiration for her temple on the island of Cyprus.
In Ascalon the God Hadad was considered Atargatis's consort (he was the local Ba'al, or "Lord", as she was the local Belit or "Lady"), and there the two of them had a great temple. Lucian, a writer of the first century ad who was born in Syria, left us a description of the temple of Atargatis. It was richly decorated, with a golden ceiling and doors, and inside it, the statue of Atargatis was also made of gold and displayed with Hadad's. While he was enthroned on two bulls, she sat on two lions (like Astarte), holding in one hand a scepter, in the other a distaff; around her waist was a girdle that Lucian identifies with the cestus of Aphrodite, the magic belt that made her irresistible when worn. Her crown was in the form of a tower (the mural crown, signifying possession or rule over a city) and rays were depicted behind her head. This statue was covered with gems and jewels from all over, and in her crown was a great red jewel that lit up the room. Lucian also says that no matter where you were in the room the statue's eyes always looked directly at you.
Not far from her temple was a sacred lake, filled with many varieties of fish, her sacred animal. These fish were well-kept, sometimes even ornamented with jewels (Lucian says he saw one particular fish that had a jewel in its fin on several occasions): they knew their names and would come when called, and would snuggle up to people to be pet. In the middle of the lake was an altar that people would swim to to make offerings. According to other writers, It was taboo to eat or touch these fish, except on special occasions and by the priesthood, who considered it theaphagy the ritual eating of the Goddess as a sacrament. So thats why they eat fish on a Freyday the eating of the moon'fish goddess sounds a bit like their interpretation of the m ass or comm union between god/ess and man/woman.The Roman name for the day Friday was Dies Veneris, the day of Venus, who, it will be remembered, was the Goddess of Love, and so corresponded to Freya. The modern French name is taken from the Latin and is vendredi.
Here is what the Christian experts say in defence of using the symbol
"I don't find the pagan argument compelling. No symbol means the same thing to all people at all times. That early Christians succeeded in transforming an already powerful symbol proves their interpretive creativity, not their ignorance or a tendency to syncretism.
http://www.christianitytoday.com/ch/asktheexpert/oct26.html
I wonder is he referring to the same creativity or craft that the people of Israel used in creating the golden calf to worship.
However it is the original meaning of symbols that never change and it is that power, energy and the ideas that they represent that is timeless.
In Scotland it is also the time of no time as people voted no to independence and were told to obey their queen.

During the run up to the referendum another Dr No with a Scottish name died aged 88 Ian Paisley. The vesica pisces could also be described as a figure 8.
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/sep/12/ian-paisley-dies-aged-88-northern-ireland
The character of Dr No in James Bond is another significant sign or symbol as he had only ONE HAND.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_No
Dr Paisley was also associated with the one hand the red hand of Ulster.
The red hand symbolises the seed of the god and goddess as according to ancient legend he only had one hand. This figure and one hand has been placed before us repeatedly throughout the ages.
http://science.nationalgeographic.com/science/archaeology/ancient-maya-project/
Along the way, Scherer and Golden also found abundant evidence of the Lacandón Maya, descendants of the Classic period Maya who retreated to this remote region following the arrival of the Spaniards. The Lacandon left their mark across the landscape in the form of red hand prints, a form of veneration found in both caves and at the ruins of their Classic period ancestors.
In returning to god and goddess if you look back at my first post on Janus I mentioned the earliest cave drawings and Sumerian records of fish people half man/woman and half fish.
It is commonly admitted that the name Dagon is a diminutive form, hence a term of endearment, derived from the Semitic root dag, and means, accordingly, "little fish". The name, therefore, indicates a fish-shaped god. This the Bible also suggests when speaking of the Dagon worshipped in the temple of Azotus (1Sa 5:4) and his trunk. Coins of various Philistine or Phænician cities, on most of which Dagon is represented as a composite figure, human as to the upper part of the body, fish-like as to the lower. From this it may well be inferred that Dagon was a fish-god. He had face and hands and a portion of his body resembled that of a fish, in accordance with the most probable interpretation of "the stump of Dagon" (verse 4). Dagon is sometimes associated with a female half-fish deity, Derceto or Atargatis, often identified with Astarte.
Dr. Thomas Inman discussed this phenomenon in his two volume opus, "Ancient Faiths Embodied in Ancient Names," (1869). He included a representation of a sculpture from Mesopotamia, observing "It is the impression of an ancient gem, and represents a man clothed with a fish, the head being the mitre; priests thus clothed, often bearing in their hand the mystic bag..." "In almost every instance," added Inman, "it will be recognized that the fish's head is represented as of the same form as the modern bishop's mitre." The fish also appears in another sacred iconograph, the Avatars of Vishnu, where the deity "is represented as emerging from the mouth of a fish, and being a fish himself; the legend being that he was to be the Saviour of the world in a deluge which was to follow..."
This saviour being the offspring (seed) of the lord and lady and which is inside the little egg which a visica pisces also represents as it matches the shape of an egg. As said previously time is a cycle and they are telling us that we are now at that point in between the fourth and fifth cycle the time of no time as they like to call it a time between two ages and a place between two worlds.
The New Age Movement were keen to inform us of this change and how it would happen..
The first would be from 1992 to 2012, and the second from 2012 to 2032, conforming the 40 years of “The Time of No-Time”. An evolutionary moment in which millions of human beings become aware of their responsibility for creating their own personal reality, and the co-creation of the collective reality. The Mayan associated it to the behavior of the Sun, which would catalyze (by radiating more energy onto the Earth) ‘destiny events’ and changes in man: sudden difficult situations ending the existing order of things in the lives of many human beings, which further intensifies whatever situation is not working, the mind having to focus on correcting it.
During all the excitement raised by many in the New Age Movement regarding the end of the Mayan Calender in 2012 one Mayan leader stated:
“Both the Hopis and Mayans perceive that we are approaching the end of a World Age in 2012. In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end – rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another.
“The years since 1992, up to 2012, are ones of big changes in the planet’s vibration, and ours as well,” says Ac Tah. “Our ancestors calculated one Baktun (20 years) of the energetic instability, where the energy of Earth and the human body would grow slowly, but at the same time, in a very fast way.”
The solar wind has a lot to do with it. The solar winds come in at the Earth’s North and South poles creating the aurora borealis, also known as geomagnetic storms. The Mayans see even more Sun activity up to and after 2012, which will change the electromagnetic field of the Earth. And when this changes, we change too.”
Ba means soul and is femi nine and Bat was an ancient Egyptian goddess adding the man brings the male and female together as one.
So that was what the blood ritual was all about at the cinema in Aurora the goddess of the dawn...the dawn of the fifth age...the coming electromagnetic storm which will see the Batman the Dark Lord/Lady rising and humankind changing. Century 16 flipped over is 19...2019.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bat_(goddess)
Here is another version of the Dark Lord/Lady Rising written by the brothers/sisters of the Matrix...Jupiter Ascending.
Jupiter Jones was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job as a caretaker and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine, a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along - her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
Unbeknown to Earth's residents, life on Earth and countless other planets has been seeded by families of alien royalty for the purpose of harvesting the evolved living creatures once they reach a "Darwinian state of perfection" to produce a type of youth serum that allows them to live forever. When the matriarch of the House of Abrasax, the most powerful of the alien dynasties, dies her children Balem, Kalique and Titus are at war over the heir. Eventually a new heir comes to their attention; Jupiter Jones, an unsuspecting Earth-living, unlucky caretaker of other people's homes. Jupiter encounters Caine Wise, a genetically engineered interplanetary warrior, who came to Earth to reveal that her genetic signature makes Jones royalty and heir to Earth. Meanwhile, he has to protect her from Balem, who put a bounty on her head and would rather harvest Earth than lose it to Jones.
The poster clearly shows the same Lord and Lady that has been worshiped for centuries. It shows two spheres two worlds one male and one female coming together.. notice the pointed ears just like the Batman it even features a Cain and a Baal.
Here is another that uses the symbol which correspond to two horns, two worlds and similar to Coco Chanels interlocking C's.
I recommend you go back and reread my earlier posts to get a more broader picture of the themes, names and storyline that are being constantly repeated.
The power of creating and changing reality via the combination of faith and imagination is something I have touched on before. However the problem lies in the fact that this world system (prism) and those that rule it have through its various use of symbols down through the ages impacted our collective imagination and CHANGED our beliefs to achieve a future they want us to imagine and create.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)
The future is in our own hands it includes believing, forgiving, letting the past go including hate, fear and guilt and speaking out loud in faith to change the world around us.
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Creator Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
Another method used for symbolism and directing energy is through the use of crop circles.
In 1996, a Crop Circle in the shape of the Vesica Pisces appeared in England. Anyone stepping into the inner portion of the two circles’ intersection could feel a sudden rush of energy
Also in JANUARY 16, 1996: This Hubble telescopes snapshot of MyCn18, a young planetary nebula, reveals that the object has an hourglass shape with an intricate pattern of "etchings" in its walls. A planetary nebula is the glowing relic of a dying, Sun-like star.
http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/07
Another symbol that depicts the vesica pisces is the Olympic logo and one which is also associated with wealth and status.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_%26_Williamson
So the template of signs and symbols that we learn from childhood are already decided for us but by who....is it us creating these symbols or is it some outside force wanting us to follow their rules, beliefs, ideas and meanings.
Coco Chanel's use of stars was inspired by a pavement in Aubezine a monastary in France where she grew up as a orphan. The interlocking C's came from stained glass windows in an Aubezine chapel which featured interlocking curves.

SI STAR CAIN...which was founded by St Bernard of Clairvaux the man at the centre of the Knights Templar who was the main driving force behind the Second Crusade and an important member of the Priory of Sion an important branch of the Secret Brotherhood.This symbol is of course more ancient in origin but used by the Brotherhood throughout the centuries. The Cistercians were also known as the the sister order of the Templars and Bernie was also given the title of Doctor of the Church. The Templars were also the bankers of their day and more wealthy than kings.
So what does this symbol represent? It is placed on fashion items and products throughout the world and as with the MasterCard is associated with money and is seen as a symbol of wealth and status.
It is my belief that there are many meanings to this symbol but we will discuss a few of the most obvious ones to begin with.
The vesica piscis has been the subject of mystical speculation at several periods of history, and is viewed as important in some forms of Kabbalah. More recently, numerous New Age authors have interpreted it as a yonic symbol and claimed that this, a reference to the female genitals, is a traditional interpretation.
One author claims that the total solar eclipse inspires images of the vesica piscis. The ancient Egyptians practiced sacred geometry based on the shape. Architects and artists copied the solar eclipse/vesica piscis and its mathematics in their sacred buildings and artwork to reflect their religious beliefs. This ancient tradition was passed on through the centuries by the Freemasons.
In Christian art, some aureolas are in the shape of a vertically oriented vesica piscis, and the seals of ecclesiastical organizations can be enclosed within a vertically oriented vesica piscis (instead of the more usual circular enclosure).
The cover of the Chalice Well in Glastonbury (Somerset, United Kingdom) depicts a stylized version of the vesica piscis design.
The vesica piscis has been used as a symbol within Freemasonry, most notably in the shapes of the collars worn by officiants of the Masonic rituals. It was also considered the proper shape for the enclosure of the seals of Masonic lodges.
In Book III of his treatise De Architectura, Vitruvius wrote:
'For if a man be placed flat on his back, with his hands and feet extended, and a pair of compasses centered at his navel, the fingers and toes of his two hands and feet will touch the circumference of a circle described therefrom.
'And just as the human body yields a circular outline, so too a square figure may be found from it.'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_architectura
Leonardo Da Vinci also believed humankind represented a microcosm of the universe, and believed his images showed that.
He wrote in a notebook entry dated to around 1492: 'By the ancients man has been called the world in miniature; and certainly this name is well bestowed, because, inasmuch as man is composed of earth, water, air and fire, his body resembles that of the earth.'
This concept of Da Vinci's is much studied and admired by the Brotherhood who wish to bring about a transformation process for mankind.
This idea that we are a separate world/dimen sion in miniature is intriguing as it is depicted in many works of fiction including Gulliver's Travels and Alice in Wonderland. It could also help to explain the ancient stories and archaeological evidence of giants roaming the earth. The concept being that in order to travel from this world/dimension to another by default you have to change size growing larger or smaller depending on which direction you are going. However that is a separate experiment to carry out at another time.
The vesica piscis is a shape that is the intersection of two circles with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. The name literally means the "bladder of a fish" in Latin. The shape is also called mandorla ("almond" in Italian).
The term is also used more generally for any symmetric lens.
Here are some of the most common meanings
1) The joining of God and Goddess to create an offspring,
2) A symbol for Jesus Christ,
3) In art a pointed oval used as an aureole in medieval sculpture and painting,
4) The vagina of the female goddess,
5) The basic motif in the Flower of Life,
6) An overlay of the Tree of Life,
7) The formative power of polygons,
8) A geometrical description of square roots and harmonic proportions, and/or
7) A source of immense power and energy,
In the earliest traditions one version of the supreme being was represented by a sphere, the symbol of a being with no beginning and no end, continually existing, perfectly formed and profoundly symmetrical. The addition of a second sphere represented the expansion of unity into the duality of male and female, god and goddess. By overlapping, the two spheres, the god and goddess created a divine offspring.
The Vesica Pisces motif (and its derivatives, the Flower of Life, Tree of Life, and fundamentals of geometry) has a history of thousands of years and easily predates virtually all major religions of the current era. The son and daughter of the god and goddess is associated with the overlapping of the spheres -- the resulting three dimensional figure
This is a depiction of the Sun God making his way past the four guardians/creatures through the inter-dimensional gateway/portal to be reborn and to usher in his reign over the universe and to sit on the Holy of Holies.
I will now discuss another title related to the Sun.... LORD it means Baal.
 |
| Nice horns |
In the Old Testament denotes an idol of the Phoenicians, and particularly of the Tyrians, whose worship was also introduced with great solemnities among the Hebrews, and especially at Samaria, along with that of Astarte, Jud 6:25-32 2 Kings 10:18,28. The plural, Baalim, signifies images or statues of Baal, Jud 2:11 10:10. Of the extent to which the worship of this idol was domesticated among the Phoenicians and Carthaginians, we have an evidence in the proper names of persons; as, among the former, Ethbaal, Jerubbaal; and among the latter, Hannibal, Asdrubal, etc.
Among the Babylonians, the same idol was worshiped under the name of BEL, which is only another form of the word Baal, Isaiah 46:1 Jeremiah 50:2 51:44. The worship of Baal was established in Babylon in the famous tower of Babel, the uppermost room of which served at the same time as an observatory, and as the repository of a collection of astronomical observations.
That in the astronomical, or rather, astrological mythology of the East, we are to look for the origin of this worship in the adoration of the heavenly bodies, is conceded by all critics. The more common opinion has been, that Baal, or Bel, is the sun; and that, under this name, this luminary received divine honors.
But the Greek and Roman writers give to the Babylonian Bel the name of Jupiter Belus, meaning the planet Jupiter, which was regarded, along with the planet Venus, as the guardian and giver of all good fortune; and formed, with Venus, the most fortunate of all constellations, under which alone fortunate sovereigns could be born. This planet, therefore, many suppose to have been the object of worship under the name of Baal, as also the planet Venus under that of Astarte. Not that the sun was not an object of idolatrous worship among these nations, but in that case he is represented under his own name; as 2 Kings 23:11.
It is evident from Hosea and 1-2 Kgs that both the cult of the Canaanite god and the assimilation of Yehwah to Baal were prevalent dangers to Israelite religion in Amos' day. In other words the worship of Yehwah was corrupted in Israel as the people fell away and followed (Baal the Lord) so they transferred the name of Lord back when they returned to worshiping Yehwah.
Hosea 2 16 And it will come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Yehwah, you will call Me -- My husband, And will not call Me any more -- My lord.(baal).
17 And I have turned aside the names of the lords (baal's) from her mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their name.
John 5 43 I have come in My Father’s name and with His power, and you do not receive Me [your hearts are not open to Me, you give Me no welcome]; but if another comes in his own name (Lord Baal) and his own power and with no other authority but himself, you will receive him and give him your approval.
Sheela -na-gig the Celtic goddess and her symbol of an open vagina was placed over the doorway of churches as if entering from one realm to the next. Many academics believe she was an ancient pagan goddess although she is also found in many Christian Anglo-Norman churches.

So we have two separate events and beings being depicted as emerging through the the visica pisces, one male, one female, one a sun god and one a moon goddess.
This would also mean that it represents two eclipses one lunar and one solar.
The goddess entering through the silver gate and the sun god entering through the golden gate.
The numbers 2,5 and 3 can also represent a date which signifies the reappearance of the goddess.
The part between the two spheres of the vesica pisces has also been used by Christians (more recently on car bumpers) as a fish symbol to supposedly represent their version of the Christ and to identify them as his followers. They however totally ignore or fail to examine as to what this symbol actually represents.
Let us first see how it reappeared again in our modern culture....
The "Jesus Fish" was rebirthed in the early 70s to become an icon of modern Christianity recognized around the world. It was caused through a chain of circumstances. First the Vietnam War caused distrust and peaceful rebellion within the younger generations of Americans and Australians. In 1973 they brought the symbol and message to the Aquarius Rock Festival in Nimbin Australia. From there it became a household symbol around the world.
Nimbin and surrounding areas are part of what is known as the "Rainbow Region", which is of cultural importance to the Indigenous Bundjalung people. The name Nimbin comes from the local Whiyabul (Widgibal) clan whose Dreamtime speaks of the Nimbinjee spirit people protecting the area. In recent decades, since 1973, the area has become a haven for firstly hippies then the new age movement, and the base of Australia's counterculture.
In the animist framework of Australian Aboriginal mythology, Dreamtime is a place beyond time and space in which the past, present, and future exist wholly as one. Tribespeople could enter this alternate universe through dreams or various states of altered consciousness, as well as death, Dreamtime being considered the final destination before reincarnation.
Sort of a place between two worlds just as one of the meanings for the vesica pisces represents. So the Christians took a symbol from the hippie new age movement and tried to make it Christian partly by linking it to Bible stories.
It came from the Aquarian rock which represent the new Aquarian age and the rock who appears as this new age dawns.
A fish swims in water it cannot survive outside of that environment which is why the age of Aquarius (water) has to come to enable this hero/saviour archetype to be reborn. The age of Pisces and Aquarius represent the same being the saviour who will arrive just in time to rescue mankind.
So let us trace this symbol of the fish back further. There is evidence that the early church at least from the second century used the term Ichthys along with the fish symbol to represent Christ.
Christians used the fish symbol as a secret sign or symbol to identify each other as belonging to their religion.
I will examine the origins and meanings of the terms "Christian" "Jesus" and "Christ" another time.
In pagan beliefs, Ichthys was the offspring of the ancient Sea goddess Atargatis, and was known in various mythic systems as Tirgata, Aphrodite, Pelagia, or Delphine. Atargatis was the Syrian version of the Canaanite goddess Ashteroth.

Her consort is usually Hadad. As Ataratheh, doves and fish were considered sacred by her: doves as an emblem of the Love-Goddess, and fish as symbolic of the fertility and life of the waters.
The word also meant "womb" and "dolphin" in some tongues, and representations of this appeared in the depiction of mermaids. The fish is also a central element in other stories, including the Goddess of Ephesus, as well as the tale of the fish of the Nile that swallowed part of Osiris' body (the penis), and was also considered a symbol of the sexuality of Isis for she had sexual intercourse with Osiris after his death which resulted in the conception and birth of his posthumous son, Harpocrates, Horus-the-child. So, in pagan beliefs, the fish is a symbol of birth and fertility.
In certain non-Christian beliefs the fish also has been identified with reincarnation and the life force. Sir James George Frazer noted in his work, "Adonis, Attis, Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion" (Part Four of his larger work, "The Golden Bough") that among one group in India, the fish was believed to house a deceased soul, and that as part of a fertility ritual specific fish is eaten in the belief that it will be reincarnated in a newborn child.

| The reverse of a coin of Demetrius III depicts fish-bodied Atargatis, veiled, holding the egg |
Atargatis was worshipped in Syria in the city of Ascalon, a town said to be famous for its scal lions (literally "onions of Ascalon"), later called Hieropolis or Bambyce by the Greeks and one of the five main cities of the Philistines.(Phoenicians) It was located on the Mediterranean coast about 40 miles south west of Jerusalem. Herodotus credits her temple there as being the oldest temple to Aphrodite (what he calls Atargatis) in the world, and the inspiration for her temple on the island of Cyprus.
In Ascalon the God Hadad was considered Atargatis's consort (he was the local Ba'al, or "Lord", as she was the local Belit or "Lady"), and there the two of them had a great temple. Lucian, a writer of the first century ad who was born in Syria, left us a description of the temple of Atargatis. It was richly decorated, with a golden ceiling and doors, and inside it, the statue of Atargatis was also made of gold and displayed with Hadad's. While he was enthroned on two bulls, she sat on two lions (like Astarte), holding in one hand a scepter, in the other a distaff; around her waist was a girdle that Lucian identifies with the cestus of Aphrodite, the magic belt that made her irresistible when worn. Her crown was in the form of a tower (the mural crown, signifying possession or rule over a city) and rays were depicted behind her head. This statue was covered with gems and jewels from all over, and in her crown was a great red jewel that lit up the room. Lucian also says that no matter where you were in the room the statue's eyes always looked directly at you.
Not far from her temple was a sacred lake, filled with many varieties of fish, her sacred animal. These fish were well-kept, sometimes even ornamented with jewels (Lucian says he saw one particular fish that had a jewel in its fin on several occasions): they knew their names and would come when called, and would snuggle up to people to be pet. In the middle of the lake was an altar that people would swim to to make offerings. According to other writers, It was taboo to eat or touch these fish, except on special occasions and by the priesthood, who considered it theaphagy the ritual eating of the Goddess as a sacrament. So thats why they eat fish on a Freyday the eating of the moon'fish goddess sounds a bit like their interpretation of the m ass or comm union between god/ess and man/woman.The Roman name for the day Friday was Dies Veneris, the day of Venus, who, it will be remembered, was the Goddess of Love, and so corresponded to Freya. The modern French name is taken from the Latin and is vendredi.
"I don't find the pagan argument compelling. No symbol means the same thing to all people at all times. That early Christians succeeded in transforming an already powerful symbol proves their interpretive creativity, not their ignorance or a tendency to syncretism.

However it is the original meaning of symbols that never change and it is that power, energy and the ideas that they represent that is timeless.

The character of Dr No in James Bond is another significant sign or symbol as he had only ONE HAND.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_No
Dr Paisley was also associated with the one hand the red hand of Ulster.
The red hand symbolises the seed of the god and goddess as according to ancient legend he only had one hand. This figure and one hand has been placed before us repeatedly throughout the ages.

Along the way, Scherer and Golden also found abundant evidence of the Lacandón Maya, descendants of the Classic period Maya who retreated to this remote region following the arrival of the Spaniards. The Lacandon left their mark across the landscape in the form of red hand prints, a form of veneration found in both caves and at the ruins of their Classic period ancestors.
In returning to god and goddess if you look back at my first post on Janus I mentioned the earliest cave drawings and Sumerian records of fish people half man/woman and half fish.
Dr. Thomas Inman discussed this phenomenon in his two volume opus, "Ancient Faiths Embodied in Ancient Names," (1869). He included a representation of a sculpture from Mesopotamia, observing "It is the impression of an ancient gem, and represents a man clothed with a fish, the head being the mitre; priests thus clothed, often bearing in their hand the mystic bag..." "In almost every instance," added Inman, "it will be recognized that the fish's head is represented as of the same form as the modern bishop's mitre." The fish also appears in another sacred iconograph, the Avatars of Vishnu, where the deity "is represented as emerging from the mouth of a fish, and being a fish himself; the legend being that he was to be the Saviour of the world in a deluge which was to follow..."
The New Age Movement were keen to inform us of this change and how it would happen..
The first would be from 1992 to 2012, and the second from 2012 to 2032, conforming the 40 years of “The Time of No-Time”. An evolutionary moment in which millions of human beings become aware of their responsibility for creating their own personal reality, and the co-creation of the collective reality. The Mayan associated it to the behavior of the Sun, which would catalyze (by radiating more energy onto the Earth) ‘destiny events’ and changes in man: sudden difficult situations ending the existing order of things in the lives of many human beings, which further intensifies whatever situation is not working, the mind having to focus on correcting it.
“Both the Hopis and Mayans perceive that we are approaching the end of a World Age in 2012. In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end – rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another.
“The years since 1992, up to 2012, are ones of big changes in the planet’s vibration, and ours as well,” says Ac Tah. “Our ancestors calculated one Baktun (20 years) of the energetic instability, where the energy of Earth and the human body would grow slowly, but at the same time, in a very fast way.”
The solar wind has a lot to do with it. The solar winds come in at the Earth’s North and South poles creating the aurora borealis, also known as geomagnetic storms. The Mayans see even more Sun activity up to and after 2012, which will change the electromagnetic field of the Earth. And when this changes, we change too.”
Ba means soul and is femi nine and Bat was an ancient Egyptian goddess adding the man brings the male and female together as one.

Jupiter Jones was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things. Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job as a caretaker and an endless run of bad breaks. Only when Caine, a genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along - her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.
Unbeknown to Earth's residents, life on Earth and countless other planets has been seeded by families of alien royalty for the purpose of harvesting the evolved living creatures once they reach a "Darwinian state of perfection" to produce a type of youth serum that allows them to live forever. When the matriarch of the House of Abrasax, the most powerful of the alien dynasties, dies her children Balem, Kalique and Titus are at war over the heir. Eventually a new heir comes to their attention; Jupiter Jones, an unsuspecting Earth-living, unlucky caretaker of other people's homes. Jupiter encounters Caine Wise, a genetically engineered interplanetary warrior, who came to Earth to reveal that her genetic signature makes Jones royalty and heir to Earth. Meanwhile, he has to protect her from Balem, who put a bounty on her head and would rather harvest Earth than lose it to Jones.
The poster clearly shows the same Lord and Lady that has been worshiped for centuries. It shows two spheres two worlds one male and one female coming together.. notice the pointed ears just like the Batman it even features a Cain and a Baal.
Here is another that uses the symbol which correspond to two horns, two worlds and similar to Coco Chanels interlocking C's.

I recommend you go back and reread my earlier posts to get a more broader picture of the themes, names and storyline that are being constantly repeated.
The power of creating and changing reality via the combination of faith and imagination is something I have touched on before. However the problem lies in the fact that this world system (prism) and those that rule it have through its various use of symbols down through the ages impacted our collective imagination and CHANGED our beliefs to achieve a future they want us to imagine and create.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program)
The future is in our own hands it includes believing, forgiving, letting the past go including hate, fear and guilt and speaking out loud in faith to change the world around us.
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him.
24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].
25 And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him and let it drop (leave it, let it go), in order that your Creator Who is in heaven may also forgive you your [own] failings and shortcomings and let them drop.
Another method used for symbolism and directing energy is through the use of crop circles.
In 1996, a Crop Circle in the shape of the Vesica Pisces appeared in England. Anyone stepping into the inner portion of the two circles’ intersection could feel a sudden rush of energy

Another symbol that depicts the vesica pisces is the Olympic logo and one which is also associated with wealth and status.
It reminds me of what happened at the Sochi Winter Olympics when the fifth circle failed to open...
The Bunny Barrow gang are back the trinity...they seem to pop up everywhere...
As I previously mentioned there are those among the New Age movement that believe the fifth ring represents the fifth age coming. The moving from one age and star sign that of Pisces into another age that of Aquarius.
This concept of the fifth age coming is also reinforced subliminally in our modern culture through symbols.

However I digress in returning to the griffin you should trace any idea or symbol back to the beginning.
A griffin, also spelled griffon or gryphon, composite mythological creature with a lion’s body (winged or wingless) and a bird’s head, usually that of an eagle. The griffin was a favourite decorative motif in the ancient Middle Eastern and Mediterranean lands. Probably originating in the Levant in the 2nd millennium bce,the griffin had spread throughout western Asia and into Greece by the 14th century bce. The Asiatic griffin had a crested head, whereas the Minoan and Greek griffin usually had a mane of spiral curls. It was shown either recumbent or seated on its haunches, often paired with the sphinx; its function may have been protective.

Ezekiel's vision of the four living creatures in Ezekiel chapter 1 are identified as cherubim in chapter 10 who are God's throne bearers. The concept of cherubim has been known all over the Ancient East as minor guardian deities of temple or palace thresholds. Each of Ezekiel's cherubim have four faces, that of a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle.
In Revelation 4:6–8, four living beings (Greek: τέσσαρα ζῷα, tessera zō[i]a) are seen in John's vision. These appear as a lion, an ox, a man, and an eagle, much as in Ezekiel but in a different order. They have six wings, whereas Ezekiel's four living creatures are described as only having four. In verse 6, they are said to have "eyes all over, front and back" which suggests that they are alert and knowledgeable, that nothing escapes their notice.
The description parallels the wheels that are beside the living creatures in Ezek 1.18; 10.12, that are said to be "full of eyes all around". The Hebrew word for "wheel" (ôpannîm) was also used in later Jewish literature to indicate a member of the angelic orders (1 Enoch 71.7; 3 Enoch 1.8; 7.1; 25.5-6, etc.). The term "eyes" can also be used as a metaphor for "stars".
The question is does the fifth age also represent the fifth living being who fell from heaven? They are called cherubim in Ezekiel 10 and it was a cherubim who guarded Eden. Let me speak plainly it is my belief that one of the things that the four living creatures are guardians of is constellations and they represent the four corners of the Zodiac as depicted below.
The Cherubim therefore is composed of Taurus the bull, Leo the lion, Orion the man and Aquila the eagle. Genesis tells us that Cherubim were stationed "to guard the way to the Tree of Life." Some are of the opinion that the Way is referring to the Milky Way. Each is stationed at a strategic point on the Milky Way: beginning, end and two flanks. There is a fifth constellation, Perseus with his sword, who guards the middle.

| TWA represents The Way |
The original disciples of Christ were called followers of the Way...could it also refer to the Milky Way that leads to our true home and our true Creator. Is there a gateway and a pathway through the stars... the Brotherhood certainly thinks so they have been showing it plainly enough in our modern culture.
The Book of Job is one of the oldest books in the Bible and also one of the strangest it talks of stars and constellations and a hidden path...hidden that is from the Brotherhood and their avatar gods including Death.
Job 28
That path no bird of prey knows, and the falcon’s all-seeing eye has not seen it.
8 The proud beasts [and their young] have not trodden it, nor has the fierce lion (their seed) passed over it.
But where shall Wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
13 Man knows not the price of it; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 The deep says, [Wisdom] is not in me; and the sea says, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price of it.
16 It cannot be valued in [terms of] the gold of Ophir, in the precious onyx or beryl, or the sapphire.
17 Gold and glass cannot equal [Wisdom], nor can it be exchanged for jewels or vessels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; for the possession of Wisdom is even above rubies or pearls.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.
20 From where then does Wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?
21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and knowledge of it is withheld from the birds of the heavens.
22 Abaddon and Death say, We have [only] heard the report of it with our ears.
23 God understands the way [to Wisdom] and He knows the place of it [Wisdom is with God alone.
It is a way that is going to be revealed in due course are you ready to give up this world illusion and begin the journey home.
.
The time of no time is when this gateway begins to opens..which path do we choose ....to reach our true reality our true home..whatever we do we must choose wisely.
