Our cultures, customs, ethics, habits, mores, philosophies, protocols, behaviors and value systems are a colourful patchwork quilt stitched together from the remnants of the patterning Ways of our progenitors. The watermark Days of Ancient Civilizations and Cultures continue to live on in our dreams, our genetic coding, our hearts, our memories, our archaeology discoveries and our enduring legends. Atlantis Atlantean, Celts Celtic, Egypt Egyptian, Greece Greek Grecian, Lemuria Lemurian Mu, Maya Mayan, Peru Peruvian, Rome Roma Roman are all examined and explored for you here. Our search for Goodness, for God/Goddess, for unity amidst diversity, and for fundamental truths is the root or nexus point for all our Ways of Living, our faiths, our beliefs, our religions, our philosophies, and our traditions. Eventually, hindsight combined with increased knowledge and wisdom may have rendered some rituals, principles, and practices obsolete or antiquated. Yet, at one time, they fulfilled personal and community needs for worship, for edification, for ethical patterns, for sanctification, and for law and order.
Our cultures are a patchwork quilt stitched together from the remnants of our progenitors, from our Days
of Ancient Civilizations and Present Futures Past. As the seasons of the
Spirit Wheel turn, we pause to remember our roots from the watermark ancient
civilizations. Days long gone but not forgotten, for their Ways live on in our
dreams, hearts, and Spirit Songs.
A cohesive pattern of Ancient Civilizations, Legendary Lands, Matrixing Country is followed for examining each Ancient Civilization in depth with Beliefs, Background, Overview, and Traditions; as well as, Sacred Symbols for that pathway. Generally the Beliefs Background Traditions and Overview Pages discuss the origins of an Ancient Civilization, how long it was walked by others, its planetary distributions, a synthesis of overall beliefs, definitions of sacred words and glossary terminology, and special things about that Ancient Civilization such as Ceremonies and Festivals. For each Ancient Civilization, pictures, images, and graphic art were gathered that symbolized the beliefs and wisdom of that way of life. They represent various sacred aspects of that civilization. The synthesized synopses included archeological findings, cultural timeline periods, goddesses, gods, archangels and articles. The first step toward appreciating Ancient Civilizations that were different from ours is to understand an Ancient Civilization's belief structures, ritualistic practices, and sacred terminology. Each Ancient Civilization has its own unique landscape of traditions and customs; each one gives its own distinctive answers to many of the questions which perplex human existence. Each Ancient Civilization is treated with the dignity, honor, and respect that it deserves. Many colors make up a rainbow, each color is special and different from the others; yet, it's core essence is still that of a color, and it is still one of the many colors that make up a rainbow.
As a planet, we need to move beyond merely tolerating Ancient Civilizations
that were different from our own, towards building a global rainbow bridge of
communication, commitment, communion, commonality, and community that connects
all our consciousnesses together.
