Flow loop-backs
Energy outflows of a torus that exit our dimension and return as higher-density energy inflows.
These are "loop-backs" and "divine energy" symbols.
Could these symbols refer to concepts genuinely worthy of religious reverence?
Consider an unseen energy that arrives from a higher dimension to power all matter and all life in our universe. Does that seem remarkable enough to be deemed divine, even without referring to a God or deity? Could that have evolved into religions? Easily.
These three images introduce some sneaky symbolism. Each has a barrier to the higher dimension, along with a looping path that crosses it and returns. Look closely at how the picture frame, the stone wall and the edge of the circle are used as barriers.
All flags and banners represent downward flow if they are wavy or curved, as most are. The sneaky aspect here is that the red staff extends up past the frame boundary, which functions as the dimensional barrier. From that height, the energy current loops back down into our local dimension.
The second staff features two half-sphere portal symbols. Here, the dimensional demarcation is mapped by a fortified stone wall whose squarish pleats represent classical barrier symbols. Marked clearly as an active outflow by the presence of in-line star symbols, the energy flow current travels above the stone barrier before returning downward.
In the Aquarius imagery, the outer edge of the circle outlines the main torus boundary surrounding our dimension. The energy flow routes upward via the arms, passing beyond this boundary to reach a container portal symbol that redirects the flow back downward, forming a loop-back into our dimension.
The next three images also feature a barrier line that usually goes unnoticed.
The left image is equivalent to an Aquarius. The person-symbol uses its body as a flow path that ascends into the green background zone representing the higher dimension, before looping back down. All postures with a bent or hunched back have a downward divine flow meaning, typically implying a loop-back.
Inside the red oval highlighted on the middle image, the semi-circle is a portal symbol while the horizontal blue line marks the dimensional barrier. The energy flow goes up into that portal and returns downward in a smaller line. Anubis is the upward flow symbol while the other person-symbol is the bidirectional opposite polarity. Horus often perches on that sort of semi-circle symbol. As a curved-beak-bird , Horus also represents a bidirectional downward divine flow symbol.
The flow path of the lion tail extends above the higher dimension natural landscape with architecture. Many lion tail symbols are upward S-curves with a distal loop-back.

KEYWORD DEFINITIONS: Torus, Portal, Flux tube, Barrier, Side Flows
So far, all the above loop-backs are vertical and using the top of the pictograms. There are also loop-backs at the bottom, and at the horizontal sides. They don't always return to the same place. Sometimes a horizontal outflow can return at the top or bottom, and sometimes a vertical outflow can return into a horizontal plane inflow. Some can even go from one side to the other side, and some can go all the way around the outside of the torus before reentering, which is one of the meanings of ouroboros.
Horizontal plane loop-backs
Side loops
An outflow from a horizontal plane that loops back inward can be conveniently called a "side-loop." Many historical artifacts incorporate small loops along the sides of waist belts or headbands; these side-loops provide a reliable mechanism to recognize when a horizontal line on a figure or object represents the equatorial horizontal plane of a torus.
Arms function as horizontal plane flow connections via flux tubes. Hands, consequently, are either portals connecting into paths like side-loops, or open ends spilling flux into side flows.
The majority of side-loop examples feature a flow symbol that hangs downward, such as a length of cloth or rope. It is important to remember that "down" does not indicate the directional pull of gravity; it is a standardized pictographic convention used over millennia that labels that specific energy outflow as higher density.
Here are some downward flow examples with zigzag cloth, tassles and fruit.
Side to other side loop-backs
An "over-the-top" loop-back that goes up into a higher dimension and then comes down and returns into a horizontal plane of the same torus, but on the other side.
Side outflows that loop-back to the top center inflow
A side to top loop-back is still an over-the-top pattern.
Side loops that connect to a different torus
A side outflow to a side inflow. It is a pattern that supports energy distribution over longer distances involving multiple tori as nodes in the path. This could scale up to the size of intergalactic web Birkeland currents.
Outflow loop-backs re-entering at a side or bottom
Looking-back horizontal animals
When an animal body is horizontally oriented it refers to a horizontal plane flow. When the neck is doing a loop-back in the horizontal plane, it signals the same meaning as the top loop-backs. The flow returns into the horizontal plane as a more divine higher-density inflow.
Container torus loop-backs
The lower rounded part of the container is a torus symbol and a handle attaching at the widest part is a horizontal plane side outflow, which then goes up to the next level actually goes above the brim, which is the location of the barrier to the next dimension. Then the flow loops back and reenters at the horizontal plane brim of the half torus at the top.
Summary
Ancient symbolism was teaching about a variety of flow paths for outflow and inflow from a torus, and most of them have the energy recyling that whereby flow can exit to a higher dimension and then return to us as higher-density energy flow.
