In Thailand, the Buddhist iconography will sometimes show the Buddha flanked by two ‘giant’ protectors. Their colors and design may vary, yet in color they are usually shown to differ from each other. A right and a left hand, through quantum supremacy, humanity used to lift itself above ignorance. Lest we ever should need the lesson of being taken advantage of ever again, by any god, man, machine or other force that should waste it’s time. These two trusted Giants, are titans of appreciation for the sacredness of life, and the importance of imparting this truth to the next generation with care.
Beyond gender, genetics, or even Granddad’s favorite football team, we must agree to agree that being conscious and free is a basic and fundamental right. There seems to have been a light shone over the Earth, so that, as we climb out from our sleepiness, we have the wisdom to cultivate an oasis of harmony above the fray of the past. Through technology, seriousness and effort, we see the extraordinary work that has helped us to realize the transcendence of the past ills that previous generations have had to endure.
The Two Giants of Buddha, in our age, seem to pretend to fight, just to ensure that Buddha wakes up. As time goes on, like the planets Jupiter and Saturn, we might hardly notice their presence anymore most of the time. In fact, would you have brought them to mind if I hadn’t brought them up via Thailand’s beautiful culture?
To further illustrate, Thailand is also known to have many statues of a ‘four-faced’ Buddha. Rather than representing Buddha, this is referred to as Phra Prom and is said to be likened to Brahma in Hinduism. I should clarify, unlike Hinduism, however, Thailand does not seem have a ‘trinity’. The only similar symbolism that I have seen here, is the three monkeys where one covers eyes, one covers ears, and one covers mouth. ‘See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil,’ is the message it seems to convey. Based on this, I guess the Thais live up to their name as ‘free’ people and intelligently include the trinity in the many things they are free from.
In the four faces of Phra Prohm, four quadrants of an idealized ‘higher brain’ are symbolized.’ The fifth and higher head of Brahma was said to have been once cut off by Shiva, when he judged Brahma as too lustful. As a result, the worship of Brahma was forced out of India, and now Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesh and Hanuman are more popular deities there. In humanity’s own awakening, we embark on the symbolic new ‘fifth’ creative direction within our own plans. As the higher timeline resonates around us to demonstrate the successful grounding of a sixth, to function as a harmonic guide, it shows that God and the Angels are always very near to us. With miraculous skill, the scene has been set, and some are starting to feel it in the air. The technology, education, knowledge and wisdom that we share, now enable us to sidestep much nonsense. With help from Buddhas from mysterious origin, and Christs with many genetic faces, we all converge on the obvious discovery that love is fundamental for our survival.
In the Star of David, we see two opposing triangles interlink in harmony. In the world we all share, we have one human destiny. Two giants must take their station seriously, just as a serious person knows the two hemispheres of their own brain must work for the same long-term aim to be considered sane. If the Two giants were to stray too far, into conflict or distraction, then the next generation of conscious beings could become more open to a chance of stumbling.
By the wisdom of the Most High, every soul is unique. We must nurture every young person as a sacred opportunity, for we never know who we may be entertaining. By living that way, our hearts are also well justified. In securing the integrity of Buddha, and the torch of consciousness for tomorrow, we show a suitable gratitude for the wonder of appearing in another person’s life. Let’s honor that chance together. Sometimes we may be able to leave a small gift for today, or even perhaps a token of value for the journey ahead.
