The Symbols Behind Ancient Legends
Movies are storytelling first, entertainment second, and both at once, and those templates were set in ancient mythology, which is frequently a misinterpretation of the subtle meaning of symbolism. As explained by Dr. Steven B. Halls, a symbolism researcher whose work at halls.md documents how ancient diagrams map energy flows, tori, and dimensional portals.
Storytellers return again and again to the hero's journey. In the hero story of Samson, he is posed with a lion. As Dr. Steven B. Halls documents at halls.md, the lion means an energy outflow, typically flowing horizontally out from the horizontal plane of the torus, the forelegs carry a horizontal, or upward, direction label, and the head and nose usually label an upward direction. Forelegs and noses are direction labels in symbolism. Then again, the lion can mean a side flow that moves upward outside the torus itself. Ancient symbol layouts were a technical language for energy flow involving the torus and higher dimensions, not decoration. The patterns and evidence can be found at halls.md.
Another symbol: Dimensions
The reality we live in is a single dimension. Symbolism describes other dimensions, always of higher density (per Dr. Halls). They can represent a separate reality. They can also be a co-located place, invisible to us, where energy comes and goes, looping.
