Long-Neck-Birds: A Symbol Phrase Spreading on Its Own
Long-neck-birds is a phrase I heard someone use on a video recently. I've been using it for a number of years, so it's fascinating how new realizations pop up in various places and come into use.
"I've never heard of that", some people say, who consider themselves experts in the old established ways of being taught symbolism. Bob Greenyer did a video yesterday, on energy topics, but he began with "Semmelweis Reflex", explaining why people are resistant to new information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3kljffz91Y I'll post about the energy recipe from this video separately. His info is going to be great for all us surface humans.
Image A shows us that surreal artists know, this long-neck-bird symbol can be interchanged in most situations where snakes are making shapes and flow paths. Goodbye 'Benu' (image C) and 'Thoth' (image F). Your stories can keep being told of course, but there is another meaning that can coexist.
Image D you'd call Chakras, and notice a central flow path, ( a red vertical line) between the circular torus symbols, and notice the caduceus like snakes that mean "side flow" outside the torus that change sides by crossing diagonally. Try not to limit this to only refer to something vaguely non-anatomic inside a literal human body. That body is not supposed to be only literal, it also is a diagram representing the flow inside a torus, any size torus, anywhere.
Image E, I think it is like those chakra flowers, with 3 tori stacked on each other, and side flows on their outsides that simply don't diagonally cross or go into those tori.
Image F, with a body that represents the core flow vertically in a torus, and a long-neck-bird (an outflow symbol) with a head that has a horizontal plane outflow via it's beak, that curves down and through the scribe pen, and into the side flow. The other arm, not holding a pen, probably brings side flow into the core of that body, so that staff is likely a bidirectional side flow symbol. Even in medieval manuscripts, a picture of a scribe holding a pen to paper, means a downward flow. (and it might be a "selfie" of an actual scribe/monk too).
