Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, is where I grew up. So the Battlefields and monuments were commonplace to me. The National Cemetery was right there, uptown, any time I wanted to go for a curious walkabout. Who goes to graveyards to relax? I do, I suppose. I read in a few books and one in particular:
"2 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.
3 Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
-- Ecclesiastes 7:2-4 KJV
A man only known by the name, Fulcanelli, spoke to me as I was reading his Mystery of the Cathedrals, concerning the very words pasted above. So I went to the most profound graveyard I had nearby: Gettysburg National Cemetery. What the Spirit of the Lord began to reveal to me, put me on a course that would change my Worldview, forever. On one end of the vestibule area of the Cemetery stands a remake of a smaller and less spectacular version of the Parthenon, which one cannot ascribe any other reason than Science and Philosophy. On the far other side, is a statue of Philosophie Herself, precisely as Boethius described her in his Consolation. Interestingly enough, the plaques below the statue had no mention of her whatsoever.
As the picture up top shows, the center statue, between Science and Philosophie, is a Four-sided statue, curiously acknowledging the Elements, and the walkway "around" it being a Circle. If you don't know how this all "comes together", then I suppose we have some Worke to do. On donation status for now, until we get the Organization setup. Peace be with you
There is a lot more NOT BEING SAID than we are led to blindly Believe. If the symbols are broken down and placed under a Philosophical microscope, what we have is an Art being depicted....
Hidden in plain sight.
