JESUS FISH

(Vesica Pisces)

Like the symbols in Genesis by Gudehus,

the symbol of the Vesica Pisces holds a simple shape, but it’s so complex in concept.

It can be traces through many stories, depictions. Through history, science, mathematics and philosophy. When all the stories and origins are combined and stripped of their terms, there is a mysterious story left. A story of basic sacred geometry, but also the story of time and space itself.

In the beginning, there was the infinite void. At this point, there were no dimensions, no space, no time.

There were also two options available, remain in a state of static omni presence or begin creating. The void would begin creating eventually, but as there is no such thing as time it is irrelevant to ask how long it took before this beginning of creating reality began.

Before the process of creation could begin, there has to be space. The only way to do so is by creating dimensions. From a single point, there are lines made to the front, back, left, right, up and down in equal measure.

This of course does not change the fact the void is infinite. Therefore it does not matter how far these lines are drawn. Also, the structures that are created are not material in any form, they are imaginary lines. It is a mere concept. To continue, there could only be one next step, create boundaries. This is because the lines, such like the void are infinite, and so relative movement of other “things” remain impossible. To define boundaries, the end of every point needs to be connected to every other point.

The beauty of this, is that the entire process is perfect. It is simply impossible to make a mistake, which is how the actions of god are often described. When all points are connected, what is made is an octahedron.

Which when viewed from the correct perspective reveals a hexagram, also known as the star of David. Now that boundaries have been defined, relative movement becomes possible.

In the bible, Eve was supposedly created from Adams rib. This seems irrelevant to current reality, but when compared to the developing process of this story it might suggest the possibility of the layeredness of the Bible and its hidden features. The octahedron is made up of purely straight lines. In sacred geometry straight lines are considered to be male and curved lines female. What is at this point, is a male shape. This is why the free Masons consider the male to be the generating principle.

Next the octahedron is spun in one full rotation around each of the three axes made before. Again, no mistake can be made as it does not matter which direction it is spun or in what order the axes are chosen, the end result will always be a perfect sphere.

This sphere is a purely female shape, or otherwise described; Eve has been created from Adam.

This perfect spherical membrane has only two options available. It can either remain static, or it can repeat the process it was in. The only difference is that there is now a reference point, this spherical membrane, to repeat the process.
It does not matter where it begins the process on this sphere, since all points are identical to each other. Again, it cannot make a mistake. When duplicating this sphere, on any point of its radius, what is made is a vescica pisces.

This shape is referred to in many ancient texts as the beginning of life. An opening of the circle through which it is possible to create. It is often called the Great Mother Godess and is compared to the vagina, as it has the same shape and is the shape through which every human is created.

The vescica pisces is also essentially the eye of Horus, the ancient Egyptian god. It isn’t just a symbol, it is also seen through out nature, in plants and shells and also in aspects of nature that cannot be seen through the naked eye but only through a microscope or through calculations.
In medieval art this shape is sometimes portrayed as the aureole around Christ or the Virgin Mary.

Arguably the most common connection to the Vesica Pisces is its usage as a symbol of Jesus Christ himself.
This is because the shape was used by early Christians as a secret symbol to communicate with their fellow believers in a time when practicing Christianity was punishable.
It is said they came up with this symbol by taking each first letter of the title Jesus Christ of God Son Savior in ancient Greek which spelled the word “ichthus” and means “fish.”

Some say the entire concept of the Christ is taken from previous ancient beliefs about the essential shape of the Vesica Pisces and its name “Pisces” which also means “fish” in Latin.
Like the void in the beginning of time, and space, it is impossible to know which phenomenon came first. What is clear is that it comes from the same origin, the understanding of this geometrical pattern through which everything we know to be true has been created. The terminology might differ, but the core remains the same. Life started from a shape, whether your story begins from a woman’s body, Adam and Eve, or the pure creation of the universe itself, you are right.

In my case rules always bring a lot of variations. I observe it a long time because my way of working usually include one or more rules. Sometimes because I pick the rule but most of the time they are visible when work is finished. They reflect my present situation and feeling but for that certain amount of time they become rules and then variation of creating is visible.

It is not random that I found how this rules are already involved in me and I have no problem with it because rule is just a strong word- meaning most of the time something destructive but there is theory in biology which can very easily prove how rules are from the beginning a part of life and that they provide never ending variations of everything we are surrounded by.

Charles Darwin introduced us to his theory of evolution in 1859 with his book On the Origin of Species.

This theory is based on several rules which explain that it is working :

1, In nature of biological species exists variability and is partly hereditary

2, In this variation there must exist some species which are more and some which are less adapted to the condition of environment where they live

3, Species which are more adapted have bigger possibility to create descendants. And when this process is repeated for a longer time then certain type in certain environment will spread and this is called = blind power

4, Everything alive has last universal common ancestor

Example for a blind power is very simple:

Imagine that you are walking some field and you come across a stone, what do you think of is that ok is a stone and it was here or somewhere around from the begun, but now imagine you found a watch.Probably you take it and observe it, you check if it works, you find out that is a machine which measures a time, you see from which kind of parts it is made so it is sure for you that there had to be someone who designed it someone we call watch-maker. Existence of watch prove an existence of watch-maker. But this is the thing which Darwin challenged.He is tried to say that watch can exist without watch-maker.

The choice of nature can be called something like a blind watch-maker – he get some parts of watches separately and one by one he makes a watch from it.The thing is that he doesn’t know that he is making a watch.

Darwin was a very big observant and had a big possibility to travel around the world what makes him very rich of the materials he could used for his theory.

Another example of his theory which nicely explain also how rules of environment included food,weather… influence variability in this planet is his observing of birds- finches in the islands where he found out that they differ depending on what surround them and especially what differ is their beak – tool for eating. The reason is that finches split all over the different islands and by evolution they adapted themselves to the world around them and its rules.

Evolution begins with the first life in this planet and thats for me also where the creation begins and where the rules are always present and there is nothing wrong with it. The word freedom would never exist and would never have such a powerful meaning without the word restriction = laws.

To finish I choose the last part of Darwin’s book On the Origin of Species:

“It is interesting to contemplate a tangled bank, clothed with many plants

of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects

flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to

reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each

other, and dependent upon each other in so complex a manner, have all been

produced by laws acting around us.  These laws, taken in the largest sense,

being Growth with reproduction; Inheritance which is almost implied by

reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the

conditions of life, and from use and disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as

to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection,

entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less improved

forms.  Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most

exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production

of the higher animals, directly follows.  There is grandeur in this view of

life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the

Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone

circling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a

beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and

are being evolved.”

How science looks at the universe today...

Sinds het ontstaan van ons mensen hebben wij de behoefte om een verklaring te vinden voor alles dat om ons heen gebeurd; voor waar wij en de wereld vandaan komen en waarom in deze hoedanigheid.
Deze drang om alles te ordenen en enige controle te krijgen over de choatische levendige wereld heeft geleidt tot vele romantische verhalen.

Vaak zijn de personages in deze verhalen almachtige goden en godinnen wiens vetes, liefde, verdriet, frustraties en eigenlijk menselijkheid bepalen hoe het er aan toe gaat in de wereld. Al gelang de situatie maakt dit de mensheid onderdanig, devotisch, woedend, machteloos of doodsbang. Vast staat dat de relatie met deze oppermacht zij het zeus, god of het universum ontzettend diep gaat en als van levensbelang voelt.
Vaak wordt deze manier van omgaan met ons bestaan toegeschreven aan onwetendheid. De onwetendheid maakte echter plaats voor veel wetenschappelijk verkregen kennis wat de meeste verhalen onaannemelijk maakt. Misschien hebben de mensen ook nooit echt gelooft dat bijvoorbeel de wereld voorbeweegt op de rug van een schildpad, als is dit een gevaarlijk statement, maar zagen zij vooral  het gote belang van het vertellen van verhalen. Verhalen die spelen met de vragen van het leven en de behoefte om te weten hoe alles in elkaar zit te verzadigen.
De komende beschrijving van hoe de wereld is ontstaan is een samenstelling van verhalen van volken van over de hele wereld. Heilige verhalen die mede door de wetenschap en globalisering voor vele te niet gedaan zijn; mythes. Mij is duidelijke geworden dat veel mythes het idee van hoe de wereld is ontstaan bij het juiste eind hadden volgens hedendaagse standaard. Zo word er bij voorbeeld  gepraat over een olievlek, een massa latente energie en over een chaos. Dit symboliseerde denk ik precies hetzelfde als dat wat vooraf ging aan de nu gangbare theorie over de oerknal.
