In Ancient Mythology is a spirit place of creation, not where Gods inhabited but rather a universal knowledge of native peoples. In that place from the beginning of time the gift of creation has been given in birth to all children and allowed to endlessly evolve its lines, forms and colors without any restraint, rule or fixed meaning. And so it is that all children demand their freedom to create what they feel and want and It is our responsibility to recognize that innate intelligence.

Even before all the Mythologies was the story of a Goddess born not of Gods but from Nature. She was the love child of an ancient and resplendent full moon as it shone upon a massive Oak that extended over and above the great Ajnlusian Sea. Her form entwined in the heavens and encircled stars. Many Gods fell in love with her strange and dangerous beauty and thus even they feared her spell upon them. Finally she left the heavens and returned back to nature where she herself fell deeply in love with the God of form Ninastapheles who had been exiled eons before for his many heavenly Love octagons.

Delphinia, Goddess of Creation, is a variant of Delphina. The feminine form of Delphinus which meant “of Delphi” Delphi was a city of ancient Greece. Delphi also had a place in pagan mythology alluding to the very formation of the universe and subsequently, the heavens, planets, nature. man and animals. Delphi was inhabited by Gods who rode the seas of time on Dolphins. In the formation of the human spirit Delphinia was given the task of infusing all the elements of creativity into that spirit. She was the only daughter of Zanno the great architect of Nature. As a child she loved to paint and through her fathers tutorage came to know all the hidden secrets behind the formations of form and beauty. Great as her fathers creation of nature was, Delphinia had her own vision, to find the elements that combined to give freedom to create new form endlessly, forever. She had been promised by her father to become the wife of Tryphon the son of Nephosis but even though she loved Tryphon she hid herself deep in her fathers creation of Nature in order to fulfill the task given her by God. Finally after eons of time Delphinia emerged from the forest of Nature enveloped and radiant with colors. Her beauty and form changing, flowing into unknown shapes, merging into itself and out into the universe. Before Gods eyes Delphinia had become herself the fullfillment of her task. And God immediately infused her into the human spirit and spoke these words. “From this eon forever, the human spirit shall enshroud the gift of creative freedom and the joy and beauty Delphinia found for it”.

In the process of transmigration souls travel lines that direct their energy toward channels of rebirth. Seen as color, form and essence no two souls are alike and growth is continuous, changing and utterly creative. Channels weave, flow, undulate, cross and join at immense speed and sometimes stop motionless. Within the channels souls join and come apart spinning rapidly through their transformation. As each soul forms through it’s own intelligence toward a desired reincarnation, channels flow together to unite and bring about rebirth.

An untainted heart learns to know but also remains pure, free of the mind of past and future.

Erogenous forms derive from fundamental harmonic undulations in nature. Notably the curve. In the beginning or evolution of raw matter lines were suspended in space and allowed to gravitate according to some divine wind or attraction. From this impetus the magnificent curve formed all of living form. Out of these origins lie the irrepressible urge of human desire to return to, enter into and be entered into the very origins of our being.

Nymphs were lesser Goddesses of Greek Myth. They were Goddesses of revelry, wine and dance. Nature spirits that often appeared as beautiful young women. They played among and served the heroic lives of the greater Gods. These are dryads, nymphs of the forest dancing with the Satyrs. Nymphs are Eponymous, having the same name as the place they inhabit. They can cause metamorphoses, the ability to change into plants or animals. I myself, the writer and artist have been changed, sometimes into a turnip, a mouse or a roaring lion by one of these nymphs. The Greek myths may appear as fantasy but remember they are rooted in real life. They speak of the archetypes of human life and relations.

Here she is floating in the salt water lake Tritonis of Libya, North Africa on her back in a rapture with the shimmering colored still waters where she played often as a child and young girl. Since childhood she had a friend with whom she often played but also disputed named Athena. Once during a dispute Athena meaning only to give her a whack accidentally slew Pallas. Maidens then who died of their wounds were considered false virgins no doubt because it was believed the Gods protected the virgins though most likely out of their own ulterior motives.

These are souls tethered to a mother soul. A little like the larva of Dragonflies which are called nymphs, souls also migrate through a metamorphic transformation. The mother soul a pervasive energy body throughout the universe nourishes the growth of souls. Our souls are always growing, we are always tethered to our source of energy. The metamorphosis is an evolution of our being through our discovery of the soul, that it belongs to eternity but that we are its caretaker.

Their decent into Hades is among the most vivid and magical tales of Ancient Greek Myth. Orpheus was revered as the God of music and song as his lyre left the Gods, people and nature spellbound in rapture. Eurydice was his newlywed wife, when at the wedding was fatally bitten by a snake. Orpheus in utter despair and at great risk threw himself to the underworld to bring back Eurydice. After enchanting Hades and Persephone keepers of the underworld with his lyre and song, Eurydice was allowed to return to earth on the condition that Orpheus do not look back until both were out of the underworld. All was well until having just stepped out of the gates of hades, Orpheus overcome with passion turned to see Eurydice forgetting she had yet to step out, and so this time she was gone forever back to the underworld. Poor Orpheus having lost Eurydice forever swore to never love another woman and so it is said he was the first Thracian to transfer his love to young boys.

We cannot imagine anything reducing itself to nothing. To the naked eye or discernment perhaps but the substratum of Energy never dissolves it simply displaces itself and transforms. Energy Body Cells travel through a kind of metamorphosis akin to a butterfly or dragonfly. They to are Holometabolic from a form of larvae to nymph to chrysalis to merge into existence as an energy body. We can know this movement through quantum mechanics but that observation will disturb what we are seeing. Intuition will suggest more of the beauty and infinite forms of energy body cells. They are like leaves on a tree, are never the same exact form and each one unique profoundly alters the environment surrounding it. They are tethered to that surrounding and radiate their colors and vibrations throughout its transparency. Then as billions of these cells unite in the chrysalis and their environments melt together into a kind of nano universe an energy body snaps into a dance of supreme grace and curves itself into life form.

In Ancient Greek means soul and butterfly”s were considered deceased human souls. Indeed what is more magical, etherial and free than a butterfly. And what better existence after the struggle of life and death than to become a beautiful lighthearted butterfly. Here is the Energy Body of a lovely departed soul about to emerge from its chrysalis. Energy bodies resemble in reflection the physical bodies they animate. However that resemblance is most often dramatically abstracted. The physical bodies are an outer shell coalescing an absolute universe of complex energies appearing mingled and abstracted yet are constructed of a multitude of energy cells of the finest, utterly divine and mysterious order of perfection.

Energy bodies in a metaphorical sense are a body of energy ganglia that animate physical form. Energy cells are the substructure of that body. Energy nuclei make up the cell itself. Very little is known about these nuclei, they are not the nuclei of Physics. They are invisible to the observation and measurement of science and are only intuited through the channeling of artistic sensibility and freedom. They are at their center nano universes of polarity that within an intangible sphere animate all of life.

Eros in Ancient Greek, meaning “intimate love” was the primordial God of sexual love and beauty and worshiped as a fertility deity. He fell in love with a beautiful mortal named Psyche and took her as his wife on the condition she would never see his face and he would visit her only at night. Those nights were full of love and passion but Psyche began to fear that Eros might be an ugly monster. Urged by her jealous sisters she took a candle one night. As Eros slept she lit the candle and gazed on his face. Instead of a monster she saw a very handsome young man with wings. In her surprise she spilt a drop of hot wax on Eros and he awoke. Fluttering his wings above her he cried out, oh foolish Psyche, is this how you repay our love, trusting your jealous sisters and flew away forever. Here we see the teaching often implied in Greek Stories. These myths are all about the struggles and emotions of human love and relations. Seen through the lives of Gods gave profundity to mans daily struggles with himself and nature.

In Greek Mythology, Okeanid nymphs of clouds and rain rose up from the earth bearing water to the heavens and were sisters to the Naiades, nymphs of the springs. In Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound, it is the Okeanides who flew to sooth Prometheus chained to a mountain craig and he cried out, “what may be this rustling stir of birds, the air whirs with the light rush of wings”. In another myth, Ixion, King of Lapiths fell in love with Hera and tried to rape her. She told her husband Zeus, wanting to determine the truth of Hera’s accusation Zeus fashioned a cloud nymph to look like Hera and laid it by Ixion’s side. After when Ixion bragged that he had slept with Hera, Zeus punished him, tying him to a wheel that spun him away into the air and indeed the Nephele, cloud nymph, bore Kentauros from Ixion’s seed, the origins of the race of Centaurus.

The Lemaean Hydra was a serpent like “chthonic” (underground) water beast. with seven heads. If one head was cut two more grew in its place and its breath was deadly poisonous. Its lair was the lake of Lema in Argolid of Ancient Greece. Hydra was finally killed by Hercules a very well known Greek Myth but what is not well known is that Hydra had a daughter whom Hercules did not kill. Her name was Edenphelia and considering her many heads she was surprisingly very beautiful to gaze upon appearing like a cluster of colorful stars spinning in the night sky. Unlike her mother who was feared by all who saw her Edenphilia was loved by the children of Gods and humans who delighted playing with her. She was a very delightful serpent and possessed a lovely and innocent demeanor and her breath unlike her mothers spread out the most enchanting flowery scents. Edenphelia managed to live perhaps even to this day hidden away deep in Lema lake. Those Gods and humans who by word of mouth or accident came to know of her existence fell in love with her beauty and innocents and never revealed her secret.

Racing at tremendous speed backwards in dark multidimensional space, passing the transparent imprints of memory through manifestation to inclination, our speed diminishes past undefined form to energy to spirit. At a full stop we stand at the center of the universe where movement is almost imperceptible, a slow woven pattern of colored forms in monumental entanglement migrating into and through each other, reforming into endless transmutations that join form and spirit into beauty.

An ancient Egyptian mythological creature. Borrowed by the Greeks, she was the daughter of Echidna and Orthrus and became a monster with the head of a woman, body of a lioness, wings of an eagle and a serpent headed tail. She guarded the Greek city of Thebes and asked a riddle of travelers to allow them passage. Anyone unable to answer was strangled and devoured. There were two riddles, one of which was,”There are two sisters, one gives birth to the other and she in turn gives birth to the first”. The answer being, “day and night” as both words are feminine in greek. The answer was found by Oedipus whereupon the Sphinx devoured herself.

Is a tantalizing tale of many meanings. In Greek myth she was a Gorgon, a terrifying female creature. The mortal sister of the immortal Stheno and Euryale. They had the power to turn anyone to stone who looked at them. Medusa had copulated with the God Neptune in a temple of Athena as he was aroused by the golden color of her hair. Neptune’s wife Athena cursing her changed her enticing golden locks into serpents. Later Perseus killed Medusa using a shiny shield as a mirror by cutting off her head. Many stories followed that each drop of blood from Medusa’s head turned into snakes and the head was used by Athena and Perseus to turn competing suiters and enemies into stone. And thus the ancient myths are not just mythological but can be found to this day in the jealous and twisted machinations of politicians and lovers.

We usually think of one universe, and as a physical space but there exist infinite universes not of physical space but of creative energy waiting to become matter. For example, love and beauty are creative energies of endless permutations. Formed into matter through the irrepressible urge of creativity and vision. Everything in life is reflected in spirit sometimes bearing actual resemblance but more often of a form that speaks of the nature of its soul. Each soul is a foundation of being that is unique and malleable to become the perfection of itself. It is the soul that lives in the eyes and searches to merge itself to nature and the universe.

Ziyad in ancient Arabic means growth. There must have been a first everything, evolving from something. Dust blown onto space, a scratch on a rock that through the web of time rubs and larvates. Otherwise its all factory stuff, retro designs that never change. Any guy like God running a factory has to run out of idea’s. Instead, stuff has to grow and grow forever changing itself, trillions of intended accidents webbed together, tethered to endless time and infinite space.

Love is a complex endeavor. Its origins are rooted in harmony but the path thereof is multidimensional and strewn with forces of gravitation both equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, Suspended in space the Energy Bodies of love mingle, entwine, convolute, involute, attract, repel, join and pull apart appearing almost indistinguishable as individual bodies in space. However, the great law of autonomy is integral to the matrix, as every body wrests free of the matrix it retains its innate color, form, beauty and unique spirit.
