Vertical and Horizontal Stripes for Etheric Flow Directions

Stripes that are vertical are probably downward etheric flow, and horizontal stripes are probably upward. If true, it has other places to be useful knowledge. Image E is pants from two people, a less-than-perfect example. Image F is much better, having vertical and horizontal stripes on the leg cloth.

Images A to J from symbolism about stripes: pants with vertical and horizontal stripes, a snake with ladder-like belly markings that widen above a portal, changing line thickness showing energy expanding after a portal, hair guiding a side loop from a breast portal to an ear portal, both vertical and horizontal stripes on a torso, and tughra signatures whose closeup shows horizontal and curvy loops inside the core.

This much is sure: in symbolism, one leg is often marked for upward flow (usually bent leg) and the other is marked for downward flow (usually straight). Image D's snake has the belly markings that look like a ladder with little horizontal stripes, which I am suggesting means etheric flow that is going upward, and also expanding as it passes above a portal. Notice how the ladder gets wider. Most ureus snakes don't show that widening in Egypt, but it is more common in India. Image G is using a change in line thickness to indicate the expanding of energy after going through a portal.

I've been spending a lot of time lately looking at Arabic calligraphy. Image A has hair showing a side loop flow path from a breast portal to an ear portal, and it's a similar meaning on image B and C. Image C is fantastic because it has both vertical and horizontal stripes. ( Side flows can be bidirectional). I really like how the horizontal stripes expand going upward. Image B is what I noticed that made me curious to explore this topic... I wondered why the horizontal stripes got thicker above the portal symbol around the neck. This is very common but nobody mentions it.

Image H, I and J are worthy of their own post, because I think there is encoded knowledge of what happens "inside the core" of a torus. I chose to show image H because it has a fancy building just above the "horizontal plane" lines, serving as the barrier between realities. That is such a useful symbol to know. Image J is a closeup of the small dense area at bottom-center of image H and I. I noticed it has horizontal lines on the right and curvy loops on the left. I think the horizontal lines associate with the 3 straight upward flow lines, and I think the 3 S-shaped lines are downward flow.

I am aware that image I is a "Tughra" a certain Sultan's signature, but other symbols like fleur-de-lis and lion and eagle poses have been adopted as branding symbols for royal dynasties too, ( while also having important symbol meanings.) I think we can learn from Image I and others like it. And this explains why I posted about horizontal lines being possibly upward flow markers, because its a good fit for understanding image I. P.S. my previous post used words that the algorithm wanted to not show to people yet, but the topic is not too late to be valuable.
