    Once someone said to me, " there are no corners in the cosmos"....it was a liberating message that we are in circular movement and will never be stuck in a corner somewhere whatever dimension we travel through. Loved the video. Thankyou!

    That was very informative, and I really liked the visual material you used to illustrate your video. I was baptized in one of the oldest Gothic cathedrals in Normandy and have always admired all the crazy details it contains. It is like lace in some places, you wonder how something so delicate can still be standing after so many years.

    There is no coincidence, the most obvious and logical answer to this question is that the constructors of all of these chapels UNDERSTOOD CYMATICS, and were masters of to be able to construct entire cathedrals that affect the sound frequencies inside, KNOWINGLY.

    A Rose Windows is actually a Mandala. According to Carl Jung, mandala symbolises our Higher Self. Jesus and other religious figures are also metaphors for different parts of our psyche. It is said, that the first Christian cross was a simple mandala - it was regular and placed inside a circle.

    At 11:00 is Sophia, the female "spirit" that was present with God as a co-creator of the universe. This theme is present in many religions including Christianity (see book of Proverbs).

    Wow, this was a very fascinating and informative video! It really intrigued me, because I have been designing my own type of 'wheel of the universe' or "rose window" for many years in an attempt to encapsulate all of my own personal philosophical views, which would help communicate how I view the universe and how I believe it functions. It would illustrate interesting geometry, the golden ratio, the Fibonacci sequence, and balance. It would incorporate the stages of our lives (the vices and virtues and all those in between) , of society, of history, of evolution, and of life lessons. It would express those stages in four main seasons as well as an overall yin-yang pattern to symbolize the synopsis of life and the universe. I knew that past cultures had somewhat done this, but until watching this video, I had no idea to the detailed extent they had gone. It always amazes me when I'm wonderfully reminded how we humans are inspired and motivated by similar impulses to express ourselves in similar ways to express eternal truths down through the ages. I have always admired and appreciated those ornate windows I saw on medieval churches but never knew they had a name or such a meaningful history. Well done on this video presentation! I enjoyed it immensely! ❤🎡☸🙂

      Wow Guyus, you sure have embarked in a profound philosophical, spiritual and artistic project. I am not surprised that you've been working on it for years now. It can take artists a lifetime to do such a project, because our understanding about the world keeps growing. It's a long process that one must be patient; a journey for the curious. Making videos are my form of creating that "universe symbol". Just like how the yin yang symbol was created in many steps and versions, I'm sure that you've accumulated a lot of versions of your "wheel of universe", right? I'm very happy that my video spoke to you on such a deep level. Your comment is touching, encouraging and it reminds me that I'm doing something right. Thank you Guyus 🌻

    • @GuyusSeralius
      @GuyusSeralius ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ​@@ChasingGods Yes, indeed. And I can easily see how your videos can and do serve as your artistic and intellectual expression of that symbol of the universe or cosmic mandala as I like to think of it. And yes, I have produced and played with many versions--a very fun and fulfilling process. You're very welcome. It was my pleasure. :) I also forgot to mention that I really appreciated the quote from The Book of the Twenty-Four Philosophers, "God is an infinite sphere, whose circumference is nowhere, and whose center is everywhere." I had never heard those lines before, though the book title sounds familiar, and as a pantheist feel they greatly reflect my tailored view and definition of God. So thank you for introducing me to them! Keep doing what you do.

    Great video. The circle does symbolize the Infinite (Perfection), whereas the square is the Finite. It can be looked upon as the Heart (Infinite) versus the Mind (Finite). In esoteric symbolism, the rose windows are part of the Flower of Life symbolism that is from the Tree of Life.
    The Rose has always been a symbol of the Heart. The rulers of the System we live in would like everyone to think that the center or Inner Circle represents the Mind. This could be further from the Truth. Because the Mind is the False Light or False King that puts itself as the ruler of all.
    The Mind is ultimately responsible for the Division/Separation of the One. The One has ALWAYS been the Heart. This is because the Heart is the earth, hence the anagram of the words. The Infinite One Light of the Heart comes down to reflect off the Prism, which is another word for “Prison,” and in doing so, is dismembered and separated into many pieces. 7 major divisions of Light forms the Color Spectrum🌈, which is where we get the 7 Chakras, or spinnng vortices within our bodies.
    Simply put, we have been Dis-Membered. And to connect all of the pieces back together like a puzzle, is to “Re-Member.” The many divisions of the rose windows show these fractals just like the Mandalas of the Far East traditions. These FRACTALS are the “fractured” pieces of the One Light. The Monad becoming the Duad, if you will. And on and on and on again, we have been cut up and divided time and time again. A “fraction” of our true infinite potential. A remnant of what used to be.
    The MasterMind simply turned us into a kaleidoscopic cluster of an abomination and wants us to believe that IT (Mind) sits on top of the throne as a Thin King👑. IT is what IT is. Always hungry so He consumes us time and time again because yes…he’s always “Thin-king.” This has been the esoteric symbol of Saturn/Cronus eating his own children. We are the Fallen children of Saturn that is consumed time and time again. Because ultimately…we “FELL” for the Grand Deception.

    @chasinggods Your videos are put together very well. I often look at anagrams and play on words. In the case of rose, i've done this thinking. Rose > eros. arose > arrows. roze > zero. rows > wors. that's it for now! peace.

    8:39 - that is also what astrology specifically indicates, and, because they used that as a visual map, lit up by the sun, it's a safe bet they meant it. Astrology also accounts for generational and international trends and cycles in the same way that it relates to a person in time and space; larger slower moving governing bodies relating to larger, slower moving governing bodies below, in their interrelated dance with other bodies through time.

    I firstly thought that Zeus in mythology is not so much associated with light as Hemera, Theia, Hyperion, Helios and maybe Apollo, but since zeus-pater and jupiter derive for same masculine protogod as dio deo and deva, djumal and jumala it actually refers to day and brightness leading also to words dies and day. There is a feminine counterpart to that patriarchal divinity but as she represents the unknown, she's not very well known. Sometimes Ashera is seen as her manifestation, and I'm the bible jealous he-god wants to destroy her altars and the trace of her memory. Sometimes Gaia herself is thought as the absolute mother... In the gnostic texts she represents herself as thunder, the darkness from which the light reveals the universe, like binah and chokmah for three mind in the tree of life. To stay in balance you must keep half of everything as a mystery. Stay in eternal doubt never reaching certainty. I like your videos. Thank you. They just proved in science that the universe isn't locally real, it just does not exist as the dimensional outsider your observation. Only the measurements collapses into particles form, outside that the universe remained only in waveform. Anything could have been created out of it, or was it that good had no choice but to reveal what already was hidden in the dark.

    Dieu est lumière, la lumière de la lumière. Il est parfum, à l'origine du parfum de la rose. Mais les épines de la rose viennent de l'orgueil, le péché originel de l'homme : ce que l'homme fait bien, c'est en effet toujours grâce à Dieu. Et ce que l'homme fait mal, est de sa faute. Amen.

    Correction: the cycle of good fortune and bad luck is not seen as "inescapable" in Christianity. See Boethius.

    • @ChasingGods
      @ChasingGods  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Good and bad fortune IS inescapable. But there is a second layer to this: How you deal with the good and bad, mentally and spiritually, is completely up to the individual. Attitude is everything. 🌻

    Maybe Zeus is not so much associated with light, unless we derive this zeus name from protogod deo, dio, deus zeus(pater) Jupiter. From the same root derives dies and day, tee masculine brightness, father deiry. Probably what the Chinese call Yang. Yin could then be isis, ashera or gaia, the west respects the divine feminity by leaving it unknown as it is. In the history of developing consciousness it could be that masculine understanding reveals from the feminine chaos the world, like in the kabbalah, binah and chokma if i remember correctly at all. In Greek mythology however Hemera, Hyperion, Helios and Apollo could be the gods of light. But back to Rose windows! Thank you once again,
