<p>Well there are a lot of questions I have about the tomb but what I really wanted to know is if anyone knows what these symbols on the the tomb and ossuary are? I'll include the pics I found, it seems that there's not too much information about the symbols other than the inverted V with the circle in it meaning that they were followers of Jesus? But this is strange because I've never heard of any other symbol being associated with him other than the Crux or Cross. Any leads?</p> Multiple-choice Meditative Semantics: Faithtag:theosophy.net,2012-03-21:3055387:Topic:1102282012-03-21T20:46:51.212ZDaniel Nogahttps://theosophy.net/profile/DanielNoga

<p><span class="font-size-2">In esoteric studies there is the concept of the sacred word. In mythology we have "Open Sesame," English translation of "Open Simsim," the magic words Ali Baba used to open the cave of treasure in the tale Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. This sacred and magical perspective implies a special relation between sound and meaning. Perhaps it is this esoteric sense of word/sound/meaning that finds embodied, somewhat unfortunately, in the more exoteric sense of word/meaning, namely the comming notion that words have fixed meanings. </span><br/><br/><span class="font-size-2">People oflten tend to listen and respond as if words have more or less fixed meanings. But words, exoterically speaking, don't have fixed ordained meanings. They mean what we, the community of word users, agree they mean--and we often disagree and change our minds. Word meanings are in motion like the fluid consciousness that gives them birth, and dictionaries are the fluent history of our collective verbal habits. Dictionaries are not meaning bibles but an ephemeral record of how we have used words. Words are a catalyst for consciousness--there is no meaning in the words themselves. Or we might say words have shadow meanings that follow the actual meaning that exists in the life of consciousness. Words are symbols, forms, obscure mysteries---they are in the world of dead things and only take on meaning in a moment of illumination in the mind and heart of the reader or speaker.</span></p>
