Djed With Necklace and Side Flow Loops as Evidence

The 'djed' with necklace and side flow loops as evidence of its meaning. Image A and B use the djed as the central vertical flow path through the core of a torus. (the rest of the torus is not shown). The two people on the sides represent side flow outside the torus, and their arms show connections in- and out- of the core.

What? If you are new here, the above statements make no sense. But if you spend the time to look at my collections and previous posts it will make sense. By the way, you could take out the djed and interchange a human-symbol into that middle vertical position (and image D is trying to show that equivalence).

This collection has many examples of these standard arm positions: https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/rampant/ Usually the lower arms connect to the waist or horizontal plane of the core (of the torus). Usually the upper arms show a connection going upward to the next higher torus, or sometimes skipping one or more higher tori, to connect to something, a torus or portal even higher.

Image E has a container with two upper rims or brims above the narrow neck. These Two brims represent horizontal planes of the two 'next higher' tori. The djed usually has Four. Stupas can have even more levels / barriers / portals to pass through on the upward journey through realities to source/God. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/stupa/

I've posted about containers and handles making side loops in the last month. The point about handles in symbolism is, the bottom rounded container is representing a torus, it has a horizontal plane. An outflow into a handle from that horizontal plane, travels upward then flows into the horizontal plane of a higher torus. I'm calling that a "side loop". You can think of these various side loop handles on containers, as being equivalent to what those arms are doing.

The necklace on image C, (and image D) is one of those portal symbols, which means a inlet or outlet through a barrier, connecting one torus to another. In most cases, the body-torus connects to a head-torus and a necklace is the ring portal shape. I was very pleased to see image C, because that necklace marks the first portal. This collection, "half portals" https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/half-portals/ has some necklaces in that half-circle / half-a-torus shape, to hopefully convince you that a necklace with multiple layers is within the spectrum of portal symbols.

Sidebar: the word "portal" is being used to be an inlet or outlet of energy flow through a barrier that would otherwise block the flow. The outer edge of tori in symbolism typically has barrier membranes (made of tiny crosslinked tori). I don't mean a stargate technology when I say "portal".

Want to see barriers? Look at the alternating symbols in the outer walls of these examples: https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/barrier/ and the edge of these hoods: https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/barrier-hood/

I *do* notice that image D isn't a perfect match for image C. Image D has those brims in the chest area, while image C has the brims higher than the necklace. I say, ok, whatever... and consider it a variation. This collection has examples where flow must pass upward through "three lines", which together represent the barrier(s) being crossed to enter the next reality/torus. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/three-lines/

When the next archeologist or Egyptologist tells you that the djed means "strength", you can smile and think, "sure buddy, your info is out-of-date".

Image A's long-neck-bird (Thoth) marks its side flow as upward, and the curved-beak-bird (Horus) marks its side flow as downward/bidirecitonal. Image B's bowl/downward-bulge on a hat (Nephthys) marks the downward/bidirectional side flow, and the other tower-hat (Isis) marks the upward flow side.
