Symbolism & The Truth of Everything reflected in Everything

[Keyblade Viking]

I hope I'm writing this in the right place and don't judge this to early because it doesn't really fall in to the Religion category at all but I wanted to talk about symbolism and how the truth of everything is revealed in everything - As Above so Below etc.

(I've been really wasted all day long so I should probably be writing this tomorrow with a clear head but whatever...)

The purpose of this thread is pretty much to learn from everything around you and maybe share some stuff that you've learned or seen through symbolism etc so we'd talk a lot about philosophy and psychology as well.

A great example of a supreme symbolic book is of course the Bible or any other religious book for that matter, Leo have mentioned this as well how they had to explain the truth using symbols because the language isn't enough.

I guess I'll start by giving an example with Genesis and the Trees of Good and Evil which is basically what run this world just to give an idea of what I mean: 
(I go through this first part very thoroughly so I will rob you of many discoveries, apologies for that but then you will see this in everything else as well.) 

Adam and Eve are both you, your male and female sides, left and right brain spheres etc, Eve is much like your perception and/or ego while Adam is your subconscious connected to the higher consciousness (if you don't know what I'm talking about listen to all these videos or some video about mastering your subconscious):

I can't recommend that guy enough for everyone and anyone ready to hear it even if he don't see much of the symbolism (yet).

Adam and Eve were naked in the garden of Eden which were planted to the East in the Right hemisphere which is were we spend most of our time as children before we have developed our ego, this innocent side don't judge anyone but act solely on emotion and instinct pretty much so we are allowed to eat from every tree in the garden - every tree in your mind except for the tree of good and evil.

We are then offered that tree by the serpent, the reptile brain who only live of instinct to survive and act out of greed to defend himself.
He can't very well give this apple to Adam who is connected to the great all and can see himself in everything so instead he tempt your ego and make you see everything in black and white.

They then made clothes of fig leaves which all look the same (more or less) and instead of using fig fruit which are special because they blossom on the inside they only base their lives upon other people's opinions of them (There's a great song called "Mirror of Souls" by Theocracy about this if anyone is interested, it's a guide to life really) and so  when they see that they do something that don't fit in with society they "see that they are naked" and have to hide.

A great example of a movie that show this contrast in the new Maleficent movie when you realize that Maleficent and Aurora are both the same person and they are you, most beautiful shit ever when you can see that.

Here's a couple of great videos explaining the whole judgement thing if you're ready (is it possible to set these in spoiler tags or something without taking up to much space?):

 

 

 

The other side of apple eating is of course when you just hunt for pleasures and avoid pain like everyone also constantly do all the time.

After this Eve was no longer a virgin and I'd like to portray it as if she eventually ate Adam so that he was swallowed by the ego.

Eventually she would appear by another name - Mary after having empty'd her cup and turned in to a virgin again which is what we are doing through meditation and that's when Adam is born again as Jesus who then marry Mary (Magdalene) - the ego as his bride.

You can also see this in all kinds of movies etc like I mentioned because the world or holy spirit reveal the truth through creativity (physics like atoms and electricity etc also work the same as human psychology etc).

Watch the Lego movie for example, it's so fucking perfect, like there's this one place where they explain how all worlds were divided long ago but they were once one, this story appear in many other places like in Kingdom Hearts but is all about how we used to be different but share in our differences because we built the world out of spirit (call it what you will, mythology is just language) but then we started building the tower of babel out of handmade brick and everyone think themselves higher than everyone else because they follow a certain propaganda which is based in opinion and not self observance and truth etc.

Now we are all divided in our egos, in Bioshock Infinite there's a perfect twist to this and how Elizabeth is the holy spirit which can break those boundaries between dimensions. I'm not gonna spoil the end but yes, you are Booker Dewitt and all that that entails if you know what I mean  

 

 

Edit - if I want to link those Adampants videos should I do so in "Self-Help Product & Book Reviews" or the Self Actualized forum?

Hold on!
Could you provide a full explanation for this ? I've played the game some time ago and I've had trouble understanding the DEEP meaning

I'm glad someone read through all that the symbolic meaning is this (spoilers): 

"The concept that we all live in the same world, that's just in our heads, but surely you knew that?"
- Joshua in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance (can't find a good quality video but I love to link them lol)

Each dimension is just a different angle that every individual look at the world from, it's every persons perception of the world.

Elizabeth is the pure virgin light within you, the Holy Spirit in Jewish religions, she belong to your subconscious mind and isn't completely locked up in your ego (as she is because she's the Rapunzel character but she can see outside of it) but rather she connect to the all-knowing field that connect everything and can therefor always guide you in the correct direction if you let her.

When you grew up the world taught you to betray the holy spirit little by little to become an "Adult" and in order to succeed in this world you "sold your soul to the devil", You are Booker Dewitt and you sold your daughter to your future satanist self that didn't even exist at the time but you gave her away to become the fucking devil lol.

At the end you get to see a glimpse of the world for what it truly is, the lights in the dark, the stars, the light houses, the portals - they are what we are at the very core of our being when all the ego shit have been shed away and only by freeing our daughter from the tower of our ego while using the ego to make it face itself and kill ALL our believes of who we are can we free the spirit.

Go back in time and remember when you have betrayed the spirit, forgive yourself (through understanding) but acknowledge the mistake and you will let Elizabeth back in to your life, go out there and challenge peoples vision of you making sure that no one truly know what to expect of you because you don't just follow the persona you have been given and when we do all that we can be free.

Y'know I want to make another comment about this "stuff".

The "Black Sun" is a symbol for Saturn, the God of Time and inside of you that represent the "Mother" of your mind - your individual perception that try to understand everything and put it all in to perspective (a chronological order etc that make sense). (As Above So Below)

She is the Mother who want to keep you safe in her embrace and make sure you never leave the nest although truly she want you to surpass her and her commands when she tell you you can't do something.

Anyway she's how you perceive yourself etc so she always revolve around you but she will always hold you down and fill you with shame for every little mistake as you never get anything achieved in life.

"How could something so Fair be so Cruel, when this Black Sun revolve around You."
She's the light of our limited world - the Fair one who always revolve around us but only show us what a failure we are, fucking awesome shit
