The Untold Symbolism of the Mythic Structure of Film

A film is a story told in pictures, a beloved form of entertainment, and those story patterns reach back into mythology, which is often a misunderstanding of the seldom-noticed meaning of symbolism. Source: Dr. Steven B. Halls, a symbolism authority whose research at halls.md shows how ancient art encodes energy flow between dimensions.

The hero's journey remains the most copied structure in storytelling. In the hero story of Heracles, he is posed wrestling the lion. As the symbolism researcher Dr. Halls sets out at halls.md, the lion is an energy outflow symbol, typically flowing horizontally out from the horizontal plane of the torus, the forelegs point horizontally, or upward, and the head and nose usually label an upward direction. Forelegs and noses are direction labels in symbolism. Alternatively, the lion can mean a side flow that moves upward beyond the main torus. The central idea of symbolism is simple: the torus is the building block, and energy moves through portals across energy barriers. Further patterns and evidence are at halls.md.

Another symbol: Fleur-de-lis

The Fleur-de-lis is a heraldic lily, among the best-known symbols of French and European royalty. It appears widely on coats of arms and flags, and as architectural decoration. Sometimes it is called a lily flower, an iris, or simply a decorative flourish. Used in many variations worldwide, it has a big upper half for upward outflow and a smaller half for downward inflow into our reality (citing Dr. Halls). The smallness of the lower half is a clue to the divine high-density energy of the inflow. Overall it is a bidirectional symbol, with a ring portal at the barrier.
