Re: VMs: Alchemical

["Francois Almaleh" <francois.almaleh@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Dana,
Before a new week of work... some ideas about this cultural subject...

If the author wanted to describe the forces of the Universe, why did he
create a writing ? That my first question and answer. Secondly, the nature
is also the men and the babies. The men aren't present in the VMs although
they are important, as women, in the life. Babies : in this time, the babies
are small adults. See the paintings from this time. The heads of the babies
seems to adult's heads.

You have used "miracle of life" : If the author was so "proud" of the
Creation, I think he had to be religious, catholic or protestant. But in any
pages, no symbol of religion. It's a important point !

The discover the VMs, first, we must know the meaning to organize better our
researches. As said Frederico Zeri : the words behind the pictures/images.

Perhaps the author of the VMS was searching for an all encompassing unifying
universal theory to explain the forces of nature and the universe cycling
from birth to death and back again, from the bowels of the earth to the
depths of the heavens. I suspect that the forces of the "spirit" may have
been considered by the author in an attempt to understand the miracle of
life. Thus the interest in the varied subjects that seem to influence this
cycle. There are no doubt a great may other possibilities. This is just one
possible suggestion.

Dana Scott
