MzK's MIA post on the dorje/vajra as (originally a) weapon brought to mind another item we are all familar with... the caduceus. Are many of these ritual items or common symbols actually functional machinery? Far less than 50% Caduceus by Heinz Insu Fenkl [ link to www.endicott-studio.com] "The caduceus, taken as more literal representation, becomes its own illustration or map.
The caduceus may have been an instructive device whose rules of usage have been transformed into religious ritual over the ages.
Another approach -- one that can yield alarming results -- is to apply a materialistic reading more rigorously. From that perspective, it is clear that the caduceus might initially have referred to an actual tool used to induce healing and transformation. Over the years, a small number of scholars have taken the caduceus as a diagram for a functional tool. During my research, I ran across one of the most recent functional interpretations by a scientist named Joshua Gulick, who actually constructed a caduceus. He says, "It is not just a symbol. It is an archaic blueprint for an infinitely resonant device to create and project fourth dimensional waves…. Those of you who have studied occult science likely know that serpents often represented electricity, while birds represented magnetism. The serpents in the caduceus symbol represent electrified wires with current flowing towards the heads." The whole article is Very interesting... especially Gulick's story, near the end, about what happened when he made one. The next link is to a discussion with detailed information. [ link to www.mail-archive.com] Ayurveda, an Indian medical model that is 4000 years old, says the caduceus represents essentially the central nervous system of the human body. The straight staff in the middle is called the shushumna, representing the spinal cord, the wavy lines are called the ida(eeda) and the pingala, representing the positive and negative energy flows around the core...where they cross is the chakra that corresponds to each endocrine gland that runs the nervous system (through hormone secretions - hormonics? lol). The sphere at the top can either represent the brain or the pineal gland. I've never heard of the caduceus referred to as a weapon, or being used in religious ritual, for that matter. Weird. The wings represent the lungs. It is literally a depiction of what was considered the vital parts of the human anatomy, hence it's use as a medical symbol even if most people have forgotten what it meant. The wings represent air moving, Lungs. Many of scrolls that contained what was thought to be spiritual knowledge but when you use the descriptions to draw a picture you see they were describing the human body and in many cases the human brain in it's separate pieces indicating a high level of technology and education in their time. Most read these things and read into them what they want to see, like spirals in the desert.
