EPISODE 291; WHEN STARS WEAVE TOGETHER TO REFLECT LIVES ON EARTH! THE AURA, FIELDS AND SENSES OF WATER! PISCES! THE RETURN TO EDEN!
Concordia had assembled the Archers once more.
"Today, we will be studying the Ultimate Goal Of Life which is referred to by many Ancient Cultures as 'The Return To Eden'" Concordia said.
"The Return To Eden?" Mimi asked.
"Yes indeed, this falls under the Pisces Constellation and to completely understand this concept, I'll be talking briefly about the Eight Major Sounds Of The Musical Scale, the Two Major Wavelengths Of Light and the Seven Wavelengths Of Visible Light" Concordia said.
The Archers listened closely.
"In Ancient Times, the Cosmos was viewed as one Tremendous Ocean out of which the Planets came to be as well as the Earth, the Domain Of Terrestrial Life, thus it was common knowledge that all Life sprang from the Sea. Eden in a sense though viewed as a Garden is proverbially the Sea from which all life Sprang forth. In Eden, all of Life lived in Harmony, the concept of Predator Vs Prey was nonexistent since there was an abundance of Food provided by the Sacred Garden God Himself had planted. It is also believed that the Animals Of Eden had an almost Human Cognition. They could interact with the Humans Of Eden on a Higher Level than modern animals do. There was no fear of Wild Animals and the Animals themselves did not live in fear of one another. There is an indirect reference to this in a Prophecy about the Future Eden where Wolves and Sheep will live together in Peace and all Predatory Behaviour shall cease. However all of this changed with the appearance of the Enemy Of Life who took on the guise of a Serpent. Through Deceit, he beguiled Mankind into a sense of Vulnerability and Inadequacy. This is expressed by the Words that connote that 'Mankind became aware of their Nakedness'. Their Original State of being unaware of their Nakedness did not have to do with whether they were clothed or not and this boils down to the Original Interpretation of what 'Clothes' were. Ancient People did not view Clothes simply as Fashion Statements but rather as Devices to Protect against the Harsh Climate and the Elements hence 'Man originally had a sense of security even in their Nakedness' implying they were 'wholly dependent on and derived their sense of Security solely from the Divine Presence Of God'. To take away this Sense Of Security in Divine Protection or to strip the Fish off its Scales or Crustacean off its Shell, the Serpent had to beguile man into committing an act of Treachery against their Benefactor who in this case was God and this brings me to another interpretation of the 'concepts of Nakedness vs Clothing'. In Ancient Times, Nakedness was associated with 'innocence' as in the 'innocence of a Newborn'. It was also the 'deepest form of Trust one person could show another'. Clothes were meant to conceal the things that one meant to hide and this is shown by the First Action man takes after their Treachery that is 'Hiding Themselves from God'. In Martial Arts, there are special Garbs worn specifically to conceal weaponry within one's clothes and thus many Warriors tend to harbor a disregard for fellow Warriors who are heavily clad. Since this was the case, many Warriors expressed their Trust by taking a Bath in the same Pool as a Sign Of Trust and to show that they had no Weapons to Conceal. With the mistrust the Serpent had sown, he had stripped man of their 'Sense Of Security' in the 'Protective Divine Presence Of God' which was a 'Protective Scale Of Sorts' and had gotten them to the point where they felt they needed to be 'Defensive Towards their Benefactor' in other words, tricking them into seeing their Benefactor as the Enemy. Man was no longer certain of his Trust In the One who planted him in The Garden Of Delights but rather believed their Benefactor was holding out on something that was to their Benefit. In other Words, they came to believe God in keeping them away from the Tree Of The Knowledge Of Good and Evil was doing this solely to guarantee his Divine Right as God and this had an effect on Man's Relationship with his fellow Man as well for if he could not trust the one who gave him no reason for mistrust, how could he trust one like himself who had broken the trust placed in him and this is where the Curse Falls On Mankind because the Animals in the Garden cease their interaction with Man, the Sacred Trees cease providing their Fruit for Man, Man is banished from the Garden and the World that had once been his ally becomes his foe under the Rulership Of The Deceiver Man had put his trust in. Here God does something quite admirable by 'clothing man' but not necessarily with Divine Protection but with Materials taken from Man's Natural World to protect Man from the ravages of the Harsh World Man had fallen to as the Vestiges Of Sin simultaneously befall Mankind. From then on, God gives Man Visions and Signs that hint to Man that his banishment was not forever and he would one day return to Eden but the time was far from the Present. You will note that man in the Garden was closer to the Tree he desired but his impatience leads him to become an outcast to the Garden and not only is he farther from his desire but now he would have to wait longer to achieve it. From then on, Man seeks out ways to evolve and all of Man's striving is so that he can regain that which he once lost in Eden. Tales Of Man's Quest for the Philosopher's Stone, his Quest for the Fountain Of Youth or Quests for Ancient Sacred Relics all echo Man's Desire to regain what he had once lost and this brings me to the Evolution Of Sea Creatures or Mankind as he strives to return to Eden after stepping into the Terrestrial Realm" Concordia explained.
"That is quite a sad tale" Mimi and Mei found the Tale to be quite a bitter pill to swallow.
"That is just how steep the Fall from Grace is but God does not completely forsake Man. He continues to interact with Man through Man's own Senses and particularly utilizes the Devices Of Light and Sound" Concordia said.
"Is that verifiable?" Mei asked.
"In many instances within Historical Texts where Man encounters God, the texts often begin with the phrase "God said to…" and in rare cases where Man sees a Sign Of God, the texts read, "I looked and behold I saw…". Many times when God's presence is denoted by Sound, He is said to sound like the 'Waves Of The Ocean', 'a Trumpet Blast', 'the Clashing Of A Thousand Blades' or 'Peals Of Thunder' and sometimes as a 'Silent Voice' and in cases where God's presence is seen, it is often seen as 'a Cloud', 'a Flame', 'Lightning' or as 'Light that is multifaceted'. As such some cultures studied Light and Sound in Detail and eventually categorized Light into Two Major Categories, 'Material and Immaterial Light' or 'The Lighter Wavelengths Of Light' and 'The Darker Wavelengths Of Light'. Ironically, the Lighter and Darker Wavelengths share a similar nature in that they are a Fusion of the Seven Wavelengths Of Visible Light namely Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet also commonly referred to as the Colours Of The Rainbow. The Difference though is whereas the Brighter Wavelengths tend to be stretched out in detail, slower in movement and confined within their proper places, the Darker Wavelengths pack a lot of Data into a relatively small space and tend to be more chaotic in nature, faster in movement and often lack confinement. The 'Brighter Wavelengths' thus came to be associated with 'The Origin Of All Things' whereas the Darker Wavelengths came to be associated with 'The Mysteries Of All Things'. The Seven Colours Of The Rainbow that make up these Wavelengths also have their own Significance;
Red for instance signified Blood, Sacrifice and War,
Orange signified Transition as in Dawn and Sunset,
Yellow Signified Energy,
Green signified Life and Vitality,
Blue signified the Waves Of Consciousness
Indigo signified Mystery and Purpose
Violet signified the Violence that ensued from the Fall From Grace and the Vestiges Of Sin.
Likewise Sound was also categorized into Eight Main Facets namely Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti and a High Do.
Do signified Action.
Re signified Perception.
Mi signified Perception Of Self.
Fa Signified The Journey Of Life.
So signified Social Bonds.
La signified Discipleship.
Ti signified the Absorption Of Energy.
The High Do signified the Cycles Of Life and Death" Concordia explained.
"I see, rather fascinating" Mei said.
"When these Wavelengths Of Sound interacted with the Wavelengths Of Light, Evolution was said to take Place as different combination of Phenomena arose from the combination of concepts due to these interactions. When each of these Wavelengths of Both Light and Sound were assigned to the Elements and their Virtues and fused, the Music Of The Ancient World was imbued with the unique Power to trigger the manifestation of Supernatural Phenomena via Elemental Interactions. I believe I have said more than enough for now. I am quite certain by now Keiran has got the Alchemists to fabricate all the Materials we need. Your lessons are over and it is about time we commenced our journey" Concordia said.
