Symbol - Vine

From Widkipedia
 The grape vine (typically Vitis vinifera) has been used as a symbol since ancient times. In Greek mythology, Dionysus (called Bacchus by the Romans) was god of the vintage and, therefore, a grape vine with bunches of the fruit are among his attributes. His attendants at the Bacchanalian festivals hence had the vine as an attribute, together with the thyrsus, the
latter often entwined with vine branches. For the same reason, the Greek wine cup (cantharos) is commonly decorated with the vine and grapes, wine being drunk as a libation to the god.

In Christian iconography, the vine also frequently appears. It is mentioned several times in the New Testament. We have the parable of the kingdom of heaven likened to the father starting to engage laborers for his vineyard. The vine is used as symbol of Jesus Christ based on his own statement, “I am the vine.” In that sense, a vine is placed as sole symbol on the tomb of Constantia, the sister of Constantine the Great, and elsewhere. In Byzantine art, the vine and grapes figure in early mosaics, and on the throne of Maximianus of Ravenna it is used as a decoration.

The vine as symbol of the chosen people is employed several times in the Old Testament. The vine and wheat ear have been frequently used as symbol of the blood and flesh of Christ, hence figuring as symbols (bread and wine) of the Eucharist and are found depicted on ostensories. Often the symbolic vine laden with grapes is found in ecclesiastical decorations with animals biting at the grapes. At times, the vine is used as symbol of temporal blessing.

Symbolic Celtic Meaning of the Vine

  • Regeneration
  • Continuation
  • Opportunity
  • Connection
  • Expansion
  • Fertility
  • Bounty
This is a powerful metaphor of "going with the flow" or "growing where you are planted." In other words, it is a message that when we observe the best of our environment/situation and stay in a relaxed, flowing state of mind, will likely gain our highest advantage.

Nevertheless, in spite of the philosophical urgings to take things as they may come, the thorns of these vines are symbolic of defending or protecting ourselves when necessary.

Subliminals or Thought Manipulation in Uplifting Messages and Books


I find "programming" everywhere...
Even in the most beautiful and uplifting of books,

A part of me says, this is another dimensional realm attempting to bridge the gap so that ...That would be another post in and of itself...
Co-existence, many dimensional races and beings calling this planet home may be part of issue...
This line from the Telos books is one such message that makes me wonder...

"You are preparing your hearts as sacred ground where multitudes will soon walk"...

(I think of how much of the mystery schools prepare the initiates to become vessels for other dimensional beings to inhabit)

These books truly have such powerful messages, offer so much, and embrace a way of life that holds such beauty, richness and love.

It is the wording and many of the ideas...One such is example of the wording is..
." you are able to...But only if..."
to me, firstly, the "But" negates the "you are able to" . Secondly, the "only if"  places limits on how what you desire can be reached...

I post this only to help open perception to what is true for each individual, and to stimulate perception of meanings behind that which we see, hear, read, sense.

Symbology - the Colors Red and Blue

From:  The History, Principles and Practice of Symbolism in Christian Art
"On another mummy case a man is depicted as suddenly falling dead to the ground, while above him stands another erect and with outstretched arms.
The mortal man is painted red;
the spiritual man, his risen soul, is blue, the colour of the sky."

From: matrixunderground on occult meaning
"The Red Queen has been found . . . It is Venus also called our “sister” Planet. There sky is red Our sky is blue."

007 and John Dee



"In the 1600's Queen Elisabeth charged Sir John Dee with the task of opening Pan- Dimensional Gates to gain knowledge of how to break the "skynet" and traverse the void. John Dee was then Ambassador to the Queen signing his signature 007"

Symbols of the Annvil & Hammer

Anvil A symbol of the earth and of matter. It corresponds to the passive and
feminine principle, as opposed to the hammer, which denotes fecundation.

- From the book:  A dictionary of Symbols by J.E.Cirlot

Symbol of Acacia and Red and White

"Acacia This shrub, which bears white or pink blooms, was considered sacred  by the Egyptians, partly, no doubt, because of its dual coloration and also because of the great mystic importance of the white-red principle (8). In Hermetic doctrine, according to GĂ©rard de Nerval in his Voyage en Orient (9), it symbolizes the testament of Hiram which teaches that ‘one must know how to die in order to live again in eternity’. It occurs with this particular symbolic meaning (that is, the soul and immortality) in Christian art, especially the Romanesque (20)."
