DaVinci Code Busted! Symbols "Blade," "The Chalice," Holy Grail PREdate Christianity--and DaVinci Blew the Whistle! Video inside.

POLL: What about one religion "sharing" another religion's sacred symbols?
It is O.K. to share or to "build-on" meanings as long as the motive is NOT to hide the first meaning!
It is NOT cool at all to just "lift" another religion's symbol to tack it on to your NEW religion!
Many already know that Rome "borrowed" many world religious symbols--they meant well!
I feel it is really sickening that the Vatican took these symbols and changed their meanings. It was wrong.
Religion is built in layers...mankind continues to progress and the symbols have to change to reflect that growing.
There is an ultimate meaning to EACH symbol and it is sacred--not to be altered.
I never thought the Blade was a penius or the Chalis a womb--that's rediculous!
People should just believe what they wish and stay away from religious symbols.
I think Dan Brown owes Buddhism their own movie! Bring back the real meanings with a killer plot!

Please take the time to vote in our poll...(and
also if you feel this thread deserves more than
2 stars vote on that as well, please! I worked for
2 weeks to research this thread!
ALSO:
VERY DISTURBING EVENTS IN THE NEWS may make some
of us very nervous today. I have added an excellent
playlist of short talks by Eckhart Tolle (whom I
reference in the thread) which may be a great place
to start a philosophy/spiritual practice which is
wonderfully "grounding" in times of these extreme
times. Hope you enjoy them! See bottom page #2
Added:
The picture of "Egypt from space" on the first post
of the thread was added today--a little late, but
there is NO VISUAL of the Egyptian BLUE LOTUS
available anywhere on Earth that is more beautiful
than this one! (Yes! Ancient Egypt is the source
for later religions like Buddhism using the flower,
the Lotus, as its most sacred religious symbol!)
"The Chalice" symbol has been counterfeited by
the Davinci Code movie for a Carnal, lower
chakra reference to the female anatomy when, in fact,
the TRUE MEANING of this symbol--and the one
Leonardo Davinci was pointing us to--is the BLUE
Lotus! (This is an original GLP theory from SK!)

The Hollywood version of symbols within the
painting "The Last Supper" by Leonardo DaVinci
(according to Dan Brown & Ron Howard:
"The Blade," "The Chalis," and "The Holy Grail"
start at 1:24 min. mark.

To understand what the symbols The Blade, The chalice,
and The Holy Grail really are in reality, you need
first to see WHAT THEY ARE NOT and compare the
level of absurdity which "variations on a theme"
--especially where symbolism is concerned--over centuries
can become. (Post #2 deals with what the true meaning
of these symbols are--which may surprise you!)

Please watch the brief video above. I have to admit
right off...I DID BELIEVE the explanation for the 3
symbols (The Blade, The Chalice and The Holy Grail)
in this scene. I had just assumed that Dan Brown would
have taken the time to research the correct meaning
for them and it was built on historical fact!


REMEMBER this is a work of fiction and although
Professor Teabing's character defines these symbols to
support the movie's hypothesis (a bloodline for Jesus/
Mary Magdolin and a GRAND conspiracy by "outlaws" within
the Vatican to hide this secret), I'll show you that
there are in fact, ANCIENT MEANINGS FOR THESE SAME
THREE SYMBOLS used in past civilizations.
Not only that...but symbolic meanings which are
far more spiritual and wonderful than Brown's (penis
and womb) having been deliberately "SKEWED"
in the way Christianity uses them. Sadly by incorrectly presenting
these 3 symbols since DaVinci's time by Church dogma,
the true symbolic meaning--the REAL MEANINGS by
great Masters--is a terrible loss for us all.



IS THE "HOLY GRAIL" A CUP?

No...sorry, the "Chalice" symbol was NEVER the gold
cup held up with wine by the Pope (in pic above)
nor was the "Holy Grail" a person, bloodline or THING!


The Symbols "The Blade"--"The Chalice"--"The Holy Grail"
are central symbols explained and carefully developed in
the film "The DaVinci Code" (W/Tom Hanks). Without our
suspending our "belief systems" regarding them the plot
falls apart, (and astonishing as it may be...many people don't
even know they ARE SYMBOLS for something very significant
before coming to the film!) The symbols
--though greatly obscured--for purposes of Dan Brown's
movie work very well. (Brown, you will recall was author
of the novel by the same name and popularized the idea of
a bloodline of Jesus and Mary hidden by the Vatican)
...those symbols worked very well to support the "clues"
of Christ's bloodline, which Brown suggests, were an
important message by DaVinci (also a fiction!) that
could be found in "The Last Supper Painting," another
FICTION!

But WERE THE 3 SYMBOLS invented through the genius
of only one artist in the 1500's? Do any REAL historical
links to Jesus or Mary in Christianity based on the Bible
support Brown's ideas? And most importantly, are the
symbols much much older than DaVinci--older than
Christianity itself--and debunking by default of their
age alone Brown's thesis that these symbols would be clues
about ANYTHING Christian, let alone a basis for a conspiracy
involving Leonardo DaVinci? Did Brown even consider
DAVINCI MAY HAVE HAD HIS OWN MESSAGE (using the correct
and original meanings for the Blade, Chalice and
Holy Grail and NOT Dan Brown's) which would be
unrelated to Jesus and Mary by using these symbols?
Will we ever get to see what THAT MESSAGE really is?

The Blade, The Chalice, and The Holy Grail are
linked to Ancient Egypt, Buddhism and Hinduism--
all cultures which existed 500 to 5,000 years before
Jesus was born! (And France wants you to know this
with an amazing sculture in the Louvre in Paris!
See below!)

The "Blade" and "Chalice" thru pyramid-art/France:

Just to show you the actual "Blade" and "Chalice" as they
actually appear in the Paris Art Museum--The Louvre, this
amateur video clip shows our fastination with the symbols
and how they "come to life" in the Louvre. This video was
taken in the lobby that houses the pyramid-art and is
the same location as the movie "The DaVinci Code" scene
where Professor Langdon and The Detective discussed
the curator's murder (and the symbols).

What PROOF is there that the Church in
the time of DaVinci--or any other time period--used
the shape of the "Chalice" ("V") in their churches
to hide some other ancient meaning?

Well...Check out this video--the 2 year research of Danny
Wilten has pretty clearly established that the Vatican
at the time of DaVinci was, in fact, using the "V"
or "The Chalice" hidden in their cathedral paintings
and murals!
In Wilten's opinion, The Chalice (or LOTUS in Buddhism/
Hinduism) was a stand-in for the Vatican deification
The Orion Nebula (Trapezium area--or the place of
unmanifest reality) which matches more precisely
the true meaning for the symbol. What can not be
avoided, of course, is that the "average man"--the
little guy who goes to church every Sunday--is given
a counterfeit of sorts for the symbol, while the
Priests and the higher in-crowd of the Church are
educated to its true meaning. In their eyes, we
"average Joes" don't hold the intellect to grasp
these deeper (and truer) meanings!


Is there a primary or well-known Buddhist symbol
in The Last Supper Painting? Yes...The Lotus
a well-known symbol for both Buddhism and Hinduism
is to the right shoulder of Jesus--you just need
to understand the "negative space" Davinci used!

Excellent example from our prior GLP thread here:
[link to www.pixhost.org]
Abhie's & my transparency of the Nile Delta and Nile River
superimposed over The Last Supper Painting GLP 7-2012


This is Egypt from space...see the Lotus flower
that seems as if it were deliberately carved into
the desert? It's shape fits EXACTLY into the negative
space, and the stem of the LOTUS follows along between
the shoulders and sleeves of Mary and Jesus! WOW!
The geographical match to the STEM of the Nile makes
this a more reasonable match than simply the letter
"V" which could be hundreds of different things. The
"tail" below the "V" shape shows it was, indeed,
Davinci's INTENTION TO POINT US TO A "LOTUS SYMBOL!"

How incredibly INGENIOUS of DaVinci to place the
LOTUS symbol (which means "space" and "unmanifest
reality) in a SPACE right in the middle of the
painting! Do you see the DEEPER SYMBOLISM that
Davinci was pointing us to (rather than a "human body
part"--a much lower chakra level symbol--as Brown would have us believe it to be?)

Now check out this over-lay transparency showing
the placement of the Lotus flower/"Egypt from space"

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CLUE IN LEONARDO DAVINCI'S
PAINTING THAT THE "BLADE" AND "CHALICE" HIDDEN IN
"THE LAST SUPPER" HAS ROOTS IN ANOTHER TIME PERIOD
BEFORE CHRIST (and even BEFORE DAVINCI!)?

The pointing finger of the disciple standing to the left
of Jesus in the center of "The Last Supper" painting
(follow the red line over the figures to the #8) is
definitely "the smoking gun" that debunks a bloodline
link to Davinci's hidden symbolism.


What does the odd signal of a "pointing finger" mean
in the context of DaVinci's painting--an obviously
Buddhist/Hindu symbol surely known by a 33 degree
level Master Mason, which DaVinci is said to have been?
Is it "heaven"
...or is it something more clever in the rogue spirit
of DaVinci (and Michelangelo,too) to "prank" the Vatican?


This is a link to a short article on what the
Buddhist "pointing finger" means--sorry it is also
an ad for a DVD series, but the article which went
with the ad was excellent (SK is NOT affiliated with
this site or their merchandise!)

The "Laughing Buddha" from the tradition of
Buddhism (500 B.C.) shows the happy figure
pointing up (to the moon). The significance
is that SYMBOLS are "pointers" (like fingers)
and should never be deified in and of themselves
over what it is the symbols are pointing us to!
What a very ODD reference, indeed, sitting at
the center (even ABOVE CHRIST) in DaVinci's
"The Last Supper"--an iconic Christian archetype.
Continued on Post #2!
