Just because a bunch of ancients drew some geometrical patterns does not give them automatically a mystic property.
No doubt they used them in a mystical sense but that was because that was the best way they could explain things in those days.
Now if you could make these patterns do something magical i might be impressed but likening ancient geometric patterns with similar modern geometric doesn't realy prove anything but that a circle 4000 years ago looks like a circle today. |
My last post you replied to was about the lastest link inserted by Andymonk.
So a circle is still a circle - well - it passed the "test of time" and that is a relative proof about it's importance.
In the movie Black Robe the Missionary guy had a wind-up clock and all the natives would come to watch it. They thought it was magical because when it arrived at the right time the clock would speak "dong dong dong". (it also made loud ticking sounds). The clock was made using gears and circular motions of those circular objects to create that magic. The Indians named the preacherman wearing the black robe "Father Dong Dong". Things appear magical or supernatural only because we do not know how such a thing is possible.
Now one of the concepts related in those circular drawings is the idea of becoming whole and complete within singular containment - unit of indenity. To illustrate that nature is whole and complete within it's self.
A human being can idealistically become whole and complete within our self - independant of external help. But only relative to certain aspects of our life style as we must depend on nature for food, drink, and shelter.
And our sexual nature is best if we depend on a mate rather then trying to do it ourself, or doing without.
Being whole and complete as a self-contained idenity would be the best potential from an idealistic standpoint. Which is the message contained in the symbolic designs of those circle drawings. However I think the whole and complete would include all of nature and perhaps the total universe as that "completed" status.
However you might view the circles as magical hogwash if you do not know anything about the reality they are advocating. Like those primitive natives viewed that clock in the movie "Black Robe".
