#object symbolism

[starryalpacasstuff]

So ever since I joined tumblr and started engaging with the asian bl side of it, I've learned a lot about analyzing the significance of color and objects in media, especially from following blogs like @respectthepetty @dribs-and-drabbles @miscellar and so many more. They're all so awesome and I've learned more from them then I ever did in a literature class.

And to my surprise, I've found myself actually noticing examples in the dramas I watch. While it can be ever so slightly immersion-breaking, most of the time I find myself going, "yeah! I noticed that!".

But there is a minor problem, which is, when I do something, I fully throw myself into it.

So now I'm seeing color and object symbolism in my very real life

How the Soul Is Viewed in Different Spiritual Paths

In the world of spirituality, people see the soul differently. Some think it’s eternal, like in Hinduism. Others, like Buddhists, see it as changing. In religions like Judaism and Christianity, the soul connects to something divine. Indigenous beliefs tie the soul to nature. But no matter the belief, the soul is seen as vital, linking us to something bigger. Exploring these ideas lets us ponder…

Trauma’ is a term that has long been used in medicine and surgery. It comes from the Greek τϱαŭμα, meaning wound, which in turn derives from τιτϱοσχω, to pierce.

‘Trauma’ is a term that has long been used in medicine and surgery. It comes from the Greek τϱαŭμα, meaning wound, which in turn derives from τιτϱοσχω, to pierce. It generally means any injury where the skin is broken as a consequence of external violence, and the effects of such an injury upon the organism as a whole; the implication of the skin being broken is not always present, however–we may speak, for example, of ‘closed head and brain traumas’.

In adopting the term, psycho-analysis carries the three ideas implicit in it over on to the psychical level: the idea of a violent shock, the idea of a wound and the idea of consequences affecting the whole organisation.

ok prev this is a huge part of why i love homestuck

aside from hussie’s use of platonic forms to construct the world which i think overlays everything basically

It's an approach that resonates with the rest of Homestuck's governing principles involving simple platonic concepts giving rise to greater complexity and chaos

there’s so much thematics and symbolism and symmetry that it’s so like, logically aesthetically pleasing to my brain. you could make a college course on homestuck’s integration of archetypes and typological symmetry (card suits, chess, DNA nucleotides ACGT, western zodiac, alchemy/elementals, the god tier classes and roles). lots of stuff that comes in pairs and even numbers, products of 2 so they can always be divided into halves. everything is symmetrical i swear the structure is so satisfying. it’s quite frankly impossible list it all since some of them encompass other elements within themselves, its like a fucking fractal of duality and 90 degree angle quartets of symbols

is there a name for this kind of symbolic symmetrical dichotomy elements….but not even “dichotomy” is necessarily correct since it often comes in a tetrachotomy too. twos, fours, eights, twelves, sixteens. and always mathematically relating to each other like folding over paper more than once and counting the folds on a single sheet of paper. folded in half once there’s two sides of the single paper. folded again the other way there’s four quarters of a single paper made by two halves (the halving folds themselves split the paper into two sides and there’s two of those folds). though that’s exponential the metaphor still applies

it’s definitely both mathematical and philosophical in nature. four seasons, four temperaments, four classical elements. its present in a lot of philosophy most prominently the yinyang concept and some jungian stuff has it too. like socionics model A also does that logically symmetrical structural relationships shit that i love. its sooo my jam i love you logical patterns and relationships i love you symbolism

idk what im saying or if there’s a term for this im just rambling. if you know what im saying or know of a term for this regarding what im getting at please tell me. im just spitballin whats im rotating in my mind but cant find the words for. fuck i need to talk about this. im not even really trying to make a point about these im just pointing them out

The Spiritual Symbolism of Sleeping With Eyes Open Explored

Have you ever wondered about the spiritual meaning of sleeping with eyes open? Picture this: it’s the dead of night, and there you are, fast asleep yet your eyes are slightly ajar, peering into the unknown. This peculiar habit, often brushed off as a mere quirk, might hold profound spiritual significance. In various cultures, it’s seen as a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms, a sign…
