Sleeves as Flux Tubes and Veiled Hands
Sleeves again. I also posted about sleeves recently: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CJ4e2iaMg/ A few more teaching points here now. Where the flared sleeve ends, a bare arm or slender clothed arm can represent a new smaller flux tube coming out. (image A).
But what about these very long sleeves that hide the arms and hands? Dogma about "veiled hands" says that divinity and royalty shouldn't be touched, but I rarely saw hints of that, and other explanations are better. Image C has two kinds of stripes on the arms, one means upward flow, the other means downward. This is also found on Egyptian hair covering, for example Tutankhamun. The upward arm does a loop-back and seems to also deflate.
Image D and E (and many others like it) are why I think these sleeves are flux tubes, because of the dots inside them. Image I's snake also has those dots, and this post had further discussion: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1SHtzvhX2k/ Image F, when hands come together, I think it's flux being attracted back to the south inflow because of its zero pressure, which I mentioned on this post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1ArgqUs15f/ Image G seems like the cloth is the remnant of flux tube walls moving downward while the symbols above the cloth are the portals (and the walls can't go through portals).
Image I's multi-head snake, some of it's heads reach into the highest zone and the spears are a marker of barrier penetrations. The middle snake heads seem attracted to the circle symbol, and the lowest snake has an outflow that goes downward. I return to the idea that on image D, the arm goes up and then the flux tube seems deflated and coming back down, but maybe that is still important. Downward energy flow is considered more divine, higher density than flow going upward, so image D's long sleeve might still have a meaning about divine energy flow coming to us.
