The Torus Framework to understand symbolism.
- 1. Most symbolism is about the torus, the building block of creation. Not dieties or kings. Older generations of archeologists did not know about the torus, and local people living at ancient sites have forgotten and prefer diety stories.
- 2. Most symbolism is about energy that makes everything work. In particular, symbolism teaches about energy flows that are higher-density, aka etheric, undetectable by us. "Higher density" means it's like energy from heaven, or in the core of a torus. You probably don't believe in that, but this isn't about you. It's about understanding things the way ancient people taught it.
- 3. The center core of a torus is a high-density region known as the void. It only seems empty to us in our reality.
- 4. Energy flux can change attributes when passing through the core. High-density can become normal-density or visa versa. Weak inflow at the south can become stronger when it has north outflow into the typical torus outer spherical flow patterns.
- 5. In addition to the flow vertically from south inflow to north outflow, there is a horizontal flow that rotates, inflow on one side, outflow on the other. Modern physics doesn't know much about this, but it's the "torsion field", "scalar wave", tempic or longitudinal wave and it causes the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
- 6. In addition to the vertical and horizontal flows, there are side flows from outside the torus, always higher-density, usually one side flows upward and the other side flows downward. Part of these flows can be drawn into the core of the torus, and then exit in various ways: on the opposite side, on the same side, or getting into the central flow.
- 7. What flows as units of energy, are actual smaller tori. They can move in a flow and be considered the ‘flux’. An analogy of flux is a pearl necklace, little pearly tori connected by tiny tubes, within a flux tube.
- 8. Tori can crosslink with each other to form structures. 2D sheets, tubes, donuts and larger torus structures are common. Infinity shapes and weirder shapes are less common.
- 9. A torus has "barriers" made of 2D sheets of crosslinked tori, one barrier surrounds the core and another barrier surrounds the outer torus flow. Some energy sensitive people seem to be able to feel these boundaries. An analogy its like a bubble or balloon membrane.
- 10. Higher-density flows don’t usually interact with lower-density barriers, and just pass through. But a flow of same density as a barrier needs to pass through a portal /inlet/outlet. Portals and barriers are often visible on symbolism.
- 11. Human figures can represent the core of a torus, and various flows and connections are shown with arms, legs, clothing and handheld objects. When you see a human within a diagram of a "biomagnetic field", it's usually not about a literal human, that human represents the core flow going through the torus.
- 12. Some symbolism shows entire higher-density realities, (eg, heaven), in the top region of a pictogram layout. Some layouts also show lower-density than us. Usually our-reality is in the middle of a layout.
- 13. There are people who know all of this, and they create modern art called esoteric, surreal, etc. Some get their knowledge through wealthy-family-funded teachers and others get intuitive realizations about it. Their knowledge vastly exceeds the writings from famous writers like Manly Hall or Rudolph Steiner, who are mostly wrong.
- 14. Words and writings beside symbolism pictograms cannot be trusted. They are usually disinformation to support “stories”. Books from famous authors cannot be trusted. Their fame and success is probably manufactured because the information is wrong.
- 15. Small things is one way that symbolism marks something as etheric / high-density. That includes: what looks like sun rays, when they are thin lines and closely packed, they are high-density versus thick straight rays like spikes are our-density-reality. Necklace beads that are big versus tiny beads. Normal size human subject in the middle versus very small people on the sides. Red fruit Apple versus grapes or pomengranite. Flower open versus flower bud.
- 16. Portals are a path through a barrier that separates one density from a higher or lower density. Portal symbols are often ring shaped, or a loop, or a sphere, or a round shape like the sun or moon. When you see any ring or round shape in symbolism, it is probably a portal where some flow is entering or exiting. Why is that hand holding a laurel wreath ring? Why is that snaketail making a loop?
- 17. Certain animals are the "cast of characters" used in symbolism, and they never refer to the literal animal. A snake does not mean any kind of literal snake, it shows a flow direction, and it can make shapes like loops, rings, and pleats. You have to memorize the common ones when starting out, but you can gradually figure out the rest. Lion is outflow, Bull is inflow. Long-neck-birds are outflow. A Cup or bowl is inflow. "Inflow" flows toward the core, "Outflow" flows away from the core.
- 18. There is no good or bad in symbolism. Those concepts come from words and writings placed on or near symbol pictograms that are designed to mislead. Yes, hiding the real meaning has been part of symbolism from the very start.
- 19. Pouring water shows a flow direction downward. Fire is usually an upward flow direction (of energy flow, not literal fire or literal water or oil). Wind blowing out of a mouth means a flow, but not always outward. Blood is often a downward flow, and the red color indicates it is higher-density energy flow. It's tragic that blood symbolism has been misinterpreted or forgotten, then mimicked with literal bloody actions..
- 20. When tori stack vertically above each other, the side flows outside the lower torus, will tend to cross over to the other side when they go around the higher torus. Where those 2 tori touch each other, there is often a presumed small portal torus straddling both of them, helping to keep them in place.
- 21. Seeing side-flows enter the horizontal plane of a small portal torus and then cross diagonally before they exit, creates the very common "X" flow pattern that is found a lot in symbolism.
- 22. "Side loops" are highly prevalent in symbolism. Ancients really wanted to teach about it. A horizontal plane outflow from one torus, can curve upward and go inflow into the horizontal plane of the next higher torus. Arms often show this flow, from a body-torus to a head-torus (touching/pointing) to an ear, nose or cheek.
- 23. "Loop backs" are also common in symbolism, where flow goes up and out of a torus through a portal, into higher density, and then comes back into the same torus, by the same or different portal. "Pelican in her piety" is just one example.
- 24. Portals are inlet or outlets through the barrier around a torus, and often a "portal torus" is half-overlapping the barrier with an inlet vortex on one side and an outlet vortex on the other side.
- 25. Everything in the universe works with pressure. Torus outflow creates pressure. The flux coming out the North side diverges to escape the pressure, which explains the upper half rounded shape of a torus. The lower half that has curved inflow back into the core, it won't work unless there is zero pressure at the core. Inflowing converging flux would have increasing density and pressure, but there is a density threshold where flux and matter disappear from our reality.
- 26. A zero-pressure void in the core would suck in flux from all directions, which doesn't give the fully rounded torus shape. Barrier membranes must also be there to achieve the familiar torus shape. The south inflow zone creates an inflow vortex and it is often depicted in symbolism as an open door.
- 27. The concept of flux disappearing from our reality when it exceeds a density threshold, has real-world examples: A black hole. Quantum tunnelling. Shaped charge munition (a converging liquid copper striking a tank, makes a lot of steel disappear). Dr. Takaaki Matsumoto observed and proved the disappearance and created a nuclear physics transformation formula to document how it works.
- 28. Torus symbols with concentric rings inside the outer barrier, or like a labyrinth, are very common. It seems to indicate stratification of energy density within a torus and may have entered symbolism from observing iron filings in a magnetic field. It is very common on petroglyphs.
- 29. A Portal is an inlet or outlet across a torus barrier, and here are other ways to recognize them: Half-circles, half-spheres, and domes that are half-spheres are portal symbols. When one circle is halfway straddling the barrier of another bigger circle, it is acting as a portal symbol, with half in one reality and the other half in the next reality. Not just with circles, those concentric rings style of torus symbols can also be half-overlapping something, and we only see half of the concentric rings (or labyrinth). Half-animals, like half-a-bull are portal symbols too.
- 30. Quite a few pictograms involve flows that go out of the torus via a portal, and then re-enter somewhere, making a loop. Flows going out the sides via the horizontal plane, can side-loop back into the same horizontal plane, or go up to the next higher torus and re-enter at it's side or it's top. Flows going up at the top-center can go into the next reality and then loop-back down into the same top-center portal, or to a side flow top-corner. There are many possible side-loops and top loop-backs, and even some loop-backs into the bottom South inflow zone. These loops can be made with arms, animals, bird necks, teapot handles or cloth, etc.
- 31. Any stand alone symbol making a "loop back" is equivalent to a Luna, and this was common before Luna and Sol portals were popular. An animal's neck "looking back" at it's body either downward or over its back, horns that significantly curve from the sides to the top of the head, bird beaks or long necks curving downward, and many more. These animal poses that bring high-density energy downward into the pictogram via a loop, are considered to be a divine meaning about communication bidirectional with-, and energy from- God/higher density. They are not bad, not pagan, not individual dieties in animal avatar bodies.
- 32. A "Sol" portal is the upward "going up to heaven" kind of flow portal. A "Luna" portal is the downward but bidirectional flow kind of portal, considered more Godly, more Divine, more etheric / higher-density.
- 33. Barriers are not only around the outer surface of a torus, and its core, there is also a horizontal plane barrier in symbolism. This seems strange at first, but a torus can contain a whole reality, and a higher-density reality can half-overlap with our reality, so the bottom barrier of the higher-density torus can sit at the horizontal plane of our reality torus. When a symbol is serving as a portal to a higher reality, the pictogram may show the horizontal plane as the dividing point.
- 34. Because of horizontal planes often being the boundary between realities, a half-sphere symbol like a cup or chalice can have it's brim represent the horizontal plane, and the upper half of the sphere is absent, not in our reality. Flow symbols like snakes and bird-necks can point at the brim of a container, and mean flow into the horizontal plane, or the snake or bird neck can go above the brim and then loop back down into the center of it, a "loop-back".
OK, I did not teach many individual symbols here, I just tried to tell you the topic is the torus and energy. Click this https://www.facebook.com/steven.b.halls to see my posts on Facebook. Say Hi in a comment and ask questions.
