Hi again ... how you going?

Here is a little more info in relation to the recent 'Fry am the Eggman' episode and the song playing in the background which is called 'Eggman'.

Its a little read but interesting when you piece things together. Below we start with symbolism around the EGG and around the image of MAN...which leads to discussion of the image of Eggman then into the symbolic words within the song...um...'Eggman'...which are self explorative into ones own psyche...for fun yes!? :) To discover our own inner Eggman....

Ok....all the best - Eli Wolfe :D

EGG - symbolic exploration:
A great many prehistoric tombs in Russia and Sweden have revealed clay eggs which had been left there as emblems of immortality. In the language of Egyptian hieroglyphs, the determinative sign of the egg represents potentiality, the seed of generation, the mystery of life. This meaning persisted among the alchemists, who added explicitly the idea that it was the container for matter and thought.In this way was the transition effected from the concept of the egg to the EGG of the World, a cosmic symbol which can be found in most symbolic traditions---Indian, Druidic, etc. The vault of space came to be known as an Egg, and this egg consisted of seven enfolding layers---betokening the seven heavens or spheres of the Greeks.The Chinese believe that the first man had sprung from an egg dropped by Tien from heaven to float upon the primordial waters.The Easter egg is an emblem of immortality which conveys the essence of these beliefs. The golden egg from which Brahma burst forth is equivalent to the Pythagorean circle with a central point (or hole). But it was in Egypt that this symbol most frequently appeared.

Egyptian naturalism--- the natural curiosity of the Egyptians about the phenomena of life---must have been stimulated by the realization that a secret animal-grwth comes about inside the closed shell, whence they derived the idea, by analogy, that hidden things (the occult, or what appears to be non-existent) may actively exist. In the Egyptian Ritual, the Universe is termed the 'egg conceived in the hour of the Great One of the dual force'. The god of Ra is displayed resplendent in his egg. An illustration on papyrus, in theEdipus AEgyptiacus of Kircher, shows the image of an egg floating above a mummy, signifying hope of life hereafter. The winged globe and the beetle pushing its ball along have similar implications.

The Easter time custom of the 'dancing-egg', which is placed in the jet of a fountain, owes its origin, according to Krappe ( who refers only to the Slavs), to the belief that at that time of the year the sun is dancing in the heavens. The Lithuanians have a song which runs as follows:'The sun dances over a mountain of silver; he is wearing silver boots on his feet'.

MAN - symbolic exploration:
The myth of cosmic man was used in all traditional civilizations to represent universal life. Man was portrayed as carrying the universe (like Atlas in the Greek legend), as a cosmic pillar, supporting heaven and earth. Man is a microcosm, a reflection of the universe. Man himself is symbolized by that which is phallic. The image of a man must also be interpreted in context with other symbols, such as the tools or weapons he is holding. In some cases, this image was intended to be a representation of the bearer of the arms and was later borne by descendants of the original bearer. An old man is a symbol of tradition, contemplation, and justice.
