Salve Packajos000 Pax Tecum. Doth thou imply peaceful coexistence and transfer of wisdom, discernment and memory between parents across the seat of learning. Potentially a devotional title for one member of this couple as Mary, the Mother of God?

As is true with all symbols, the serpent has positive and negative connotations, its essential meanings are central to understanding human consciousness and the psycho-biological process of mankind, in alternative parlance an expression of our higher and lower consciousness.

The official interpretation of serpent symbolism is that it refers to wisdom, but the symbolism embodies a deeper and much more complex meaning; essentially it relates to the complex nature of the human psyche, energy and our body chemistry.

The dove and olive branch is one of the most ancient symbols of peace. Of course the dove and its sprig of olive first appeared in the Biblical story of Noah's Ark recounted in Genesis 8 :11-

And the dove came in to him at eventide; and lo in her mouth an olive-leaf freshly plucked; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.

Is that a rocket I see before me up above, per ardua ad astra.

Chapter 19

The Next Lost Civilization?

Page 425

More than two thousand flood myths that have come down to us from the remote past are eerily consistent on many points, and on one in particular: the cataclysm was not a random accident, we are told; we brought it upon ourselves by our own behaviour.

Our arrogance and our cruelty towards one another, our noise and strife and the wickedness of our hearts, angered the gods. We ceased to nurture spirit. We ceased to love and tend the earth and no longer regarded the universe with reverent awe and wonder. Dazzled by our own success, we forgot how to carry our prosperity with moderation.

So it was, Plato tells us, with the once generous and good citizens of Atlantis, who in former times possessed 'a certain greatness of mind, and treated the vagaries of fortune and one another with wisdom and forbearance', but who became swollen with overweening pride in their own achievements and fell into crass materialism, greed and violence:

To the perceptive eye the depth of their degeneration was clear enough, but to those whose judgement of true happiness is defective they seemed, in their pursuit of unbridled ambition and power, to be at the height of their fame and fortune.'

If ever a society could be said to meet all the mythological criteria of the next lost civilization - a society that ticks all the boxes - is it not obvious that it is our own? Our pollution and neglect of the majestic garden of the earth, our rape of its resources, our abuse of the oceans and the rainforests, our fear, hatred and suspicion of one another multiplied by a hundred bitter regional and sectarian conflicts, our /Page 426/ consistent track record of standing by and doing nothing while millions suffer, our ignorant, narrow-minded racism, our exclusivist religions, our forgetfulness that we are all brothers and sisters, our bellicose chauvinism, the dreadful cruelties that we indulge in, in the name of nation, or faith, or simple greed, our obsessive, competitive, ego-driven production and consumption of material goods and the growing conviction of many, fuelled by the triumphs of materialist science, that matter is all there is - that there is no such thing as spirit, that we are just accidents of chemistry and biology - all these things, and many more, in mythological terms at least, do not look good for us.

Meanwhile, we have made ourselves the possessors of a technology so advanced that it seems almost like magic, even while we use it constantly in our daily lives. Computer science, the internet, aviation, television, telecommunications, space exploration, genetic engineering, nuclear weapons, nanotechnology, transplant surgery . . . The list goes on and on, yet very few of us are able to understand how more than a tiny fraction of it works, and as it proliferates the human spirit withers and we engage in 'all manner of reckless crimes, wars and robberies and frauds, and all things hostile to the nature of the soul :2

Suppose for a moment that a cataclysm besets us, a cataclysm so vast that our complex, networked, highly specialised technological civilization collapses - collapses utterly beyond any hope of redemption. If such a scenario were to unfold it is likely that the meekest and most marginalised of the peoples who inhabit our world today - the hunter-gatherers of the Amazon jungle and the Kalahari desert, for example, who are used to making do with very little and whose survival skills are exemplary - would be the very ones most likely to make it through and therefore carry on the story of humanity in post-cataclysmic times.

How would their descendants remember us a thousand or ten thousand years from now? How, for example, might something that we regard as routine, like our ability to receive 24-hour rolling television news and hear sound and view images from all parts of the world, and even from outer space, be recollected in myth and tradition? Might it not be said wonderingly of us, as it was of 'the Forefathers' recalled in the Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the ancient Quiche Maya:

Page 427

They were endowed with intelligence; they saw and instantly they could see far, they succeeded in seeing, they succeeded in knowing all that there is in the world. When they looked, instantly they saw all around them, and they contemplated in turn the arch of heaven and the round face of the earth. The things hidden in the distance they saw all without first having to move; at once they saw the world, and so, too, from where they were, they saw it. Great was their wisdom; their sight reached to the forests, the lakes, the seas, the mountains and the valleys.3

Yet, in common with so many other memories that seem to hark back to an advanced lost civilization of prehistoric antiquity, we learn that in due course the 'Forefathers' became arrogant and proud and overstepped their bounds so that the gods asked: 'Must they perchance be the equals of ourselves, their Makers? Let us check a little their desires, because it is not well what we see.'4 Punishment swiftly followed:

The Heart of Heaven blew mist into their eyes, which clouded their sight as when a mirror is breathed on. Their eyes were covered and they could see only what was close, only that was clear to them. In this way all the wisdom and all the knowledge of [the Forefathers] were destroyed.3

It is interesting to note the mechanisms used by the gods to keep our ancestors in their place, as described in the Popol Vuh:

A flood was brought about by the Heart of Heaven . . . A heavy resin fell from the sky . . . The face of the earth was darkened and a black rain began to fall by day and by night . . .6 The faces of the sun and the moon were covered . .7 There was much hail, black rain and mist and indescribable cold . . .8
All these phenomena very accurately reflect the complex nature of the cataclysm that afflicted the earth 12,800 years ago at the beginning of the Younger Dryas cold epoch when, as we saw from the mass of evidence presented in Part II, many scientists are now certain that the earth . . . ?????????

Ave Packajos000, Tum: thine answer upon the qualities and sensitivities of humankind from cradle to grave is a fine passage both fluent and poetic.

Compleat with a Raven and humanity at heart as thy postscript, Apollo's winged messengers and symbols of good luck and add thee a Valknut to thy Raven on Saxon cremation urns, and thou hast a life cycle.

Et expecto eros
