Power of Imagination October 1, 2011

Many of you may be wondering why the last Syphous video used Peter Pan as the theme to portray Imagination.

All Syphous videos have layers.

Usually I do not describe in detail the reasons for the creative collage for the purpose of the seeker is to identify the true meaning which resides within.

There is more than one reason for choosing this form of allegory.
Let’s put it this way, when we communicate with the divine we do not use words. This may seem confusing to you but I assure you the divine does not use linguistic rhetoric. To put it simply, linguistic rhetoric only uses a small portion of the brain and thus will only develop a limited understanding. When communicating with the divine or with higher dimensional beings it is on a telepathic level. This level is primarily expressed through symbols and numbers. The expression “a picture paints a thousand words” is another example the power symbols have.

So getting back to the latest video titled “Power of Imagination” Peter Pan is the main character. The name “Peter” is SYMBOLIZED by “Stone”, for Peter in Greek means stone. Of course I am not being ignorant in saying this is the only meaning, your own research will allow you to discover there is more to this name, for example the biblical implications; Pan, is a mythological creature; what does he symbolize? Again this answer depends on where your research takes you. I suggest it means “all”, as in Mother Nature (wind, fire, water, earth, ether (5 points, Pentagram) so again remember symbolism and numbers teach us wisdom.

So we have Peter (stone) Pan (all). Now what could this mean? Let’s look at the myths, for they teach in their symbolism. While I was just about to fall asleep one night I had a very clear image of Medusa. Medusa was a very beautiful woman who was punished by Athena who turned her into a hideous looking creature with snake for hair and anyone who looked at her would be cast in STONE. Medusa teaches the female wisdom; her story is fascinating and again looking into this further will open doors. Was anyone exempt from being turned to stone? No, everyone was turned to stone; ALL. Except for the lesson Perseus teaches. How did he defeat Medusa? He used a shield and looked at her through the reflection, or in other words, he used a mirror. It is only when we use a mirror, to reflect on ourselves that we can defeat our demons. The beast lives in us all, and I may suggest this is why the Louvre in Paris has 666 panes of glass. Reflection on self allows us to see the beast and go within to see the true inner beauty as is in the Louvre.

Peter Pan was known to fly and never grow old. He was able to fly with pixy dust and only when he had “happy thoughts” this symbolizing the innocents of a child and pure of heart.

In the video there are 3 mermaids, which again in mythology are often referred to as Sirens. In mythology they would lure the sailors with enchanting music so they would crash into the rocks. So why would they choose to save our beloved Peter Pan? Because he was “child-like”. Next Peter is approached by the lost boys of the Never-Never Land, or how I choose to call it, Never Forget Land. The lost boys are trying to find out who this guy is. The first boy to examine Peter , is the first human, a black boy who, after careful examination, realizes it is Peter, and notice it is after he stretches his lips to show his real smile, remember how important a smile is in my last blog : )

Next we see Rufio, the Lost Boy leader, on his knees. Rufio in latin is Rufus which means “red” and you will notice the red in his hair. Also notice how Rufio is the tallest of all the boys, almost like he is a giant. The symbolism here is that Rufio is a Red Haired Giant. Again your research on red haired giants and a hint, the Lovelock Cave may lead you to the reason this clip was chosen. “you are the Pan” or you are the ALL, meaning he is completely balanced and well rounded, worthy of a sword.

Now we see Peter given a sword, which symbolizes the Spirit. Taking hold of the true nature of his character, Peter realizes who he really is and lifts the sword (spirit) and he draws a line in the sand. WHO will follow the spirit? All the children hurry over to take his side for they know the power the “sword” possesses.

They all let our their child by crowing like a rooster….why a rooster? A rooster crow symbolizes a new beginning, a new day. And a day has 86,400 seconds, and a new day rises with the SUN, the diameter of the sun is 864,000 miles. Symbols and Numbers.

Next is the reiteration of using our imaginations and believing in ourselves. A succinct way of saying your destiny is in your hands.

The last sound clip is the little fairy reminding us all that there is a place where everyone can be taught. The place between asleep and awake, the dream state, the imaginative state. This state of mind can be a stillpoint or a fantasy island.

The point is, this place is special and we can all achieve this place. This is where LOVE lives, this is where your destiny awaits you.
