Ahh, I get you now.
Then you would have loved doing a SignCraft course - Logos, Signs and all that too.
I did write some of my own stuff long ago and do some 'symbols', but I found a lot of "coincidence" and when my writing parralleled what happened on Sept 11th amongst other stuff - I got spooked and ditched the majority of my works in the bin via a black briefcase before I get done for something silly like being a Terrorist, let alone a bloody Psychic
...I don't think we are actually, "blood" related. Though you could think so with some similarities. Maybe we are "ink" related instead
?
I may have confused you with another who posted here a few months back, when they jokingly said they thought they may have been actually related to me...as I posted my surname. I think they were just mucking about though lol...puling my leg, ...and yes, right you are, I think I would have loved doing a sign-craft course....and whilst I don't delve much into the superstitious/para-normal side of symbolism, I do have an affinity with ancient symbolism and cryptics, cyphers, codes, and how they relate to modern times.
Take the Zodiac Killer for example, I think i know who he was, but I suspect there are thousand's who think they have cracked his final code, (the one which reveals his identity) ..which authorities argue has never been solved.
Edgar Allen Poe and Shakespeare, Da Vinci, Carl Lewis, were all code enthusiasts.
I know about the 'spook' factor, with respects to how some things are just too uncanny, though to keep it in perspective, it helps to understand that many of these secular-related incidents, (ie 9/11) align with ancient astronomy, specific dates and ancient code/symbolism, we all share, there's one parallel for starters, (we humans are a symbolic creature)...so it's only natural that sometimes certain code will align, as though they were planets, this and begin falling into place...in almost a 'spooky' manner.
Don't think too much on it, or else it will do your head in, I just appreciate it for what it is, I get bored with cracking cryptic crosswords, (which I mostly use for boosting my vocabulary)...so decided to move onto cracking an alternative.
One thing about symbolism. ...no matter what part of the world you come from, race, faith etc, your history will be steeped in symbolism, as though it were a universal code, right of civilised passage in it's own right.
See, not so long ago, the alphabet itself was deemed evil, (our alphabet is merely symbols) ... so people used code, within art to communicate with one another....(under the noses of authority).
... In fact, the technique for making paper was first delivered to the lay in images, symbolism...due to a majority of society being illiterate.
It's the historical/evolutionary aspect of it I find fascinating.... the fundamentals of how we as human beings began communicating with one another via means other than clubbing one another to death with sticks.
When we began to abstract reason...refer to higher -order thought process.
.... The human brain is a lovely, marvellous thing, is a codex in it's own right...one which has barely been tapped.
I'll pop back in later, have some things to.
I enjoyed our chat,
Cheers.
