...Primitive Man had very strong instincts. In his own way, he began to understand the power of motion from the communication and information exchange point of view. He noticed that if he mimicked the motion or took the shape of an animal he felt like that animal, because on a vibratory subtle energy level both became like of copies of each other. Primitive Man discovered that he could further enhance this resonance by wearing an animal skin. If he wore the skin of a lion and moved like a lion during a battle or a hunt, he felt he acquired the courage and strength of the lion and felt like the ‘king of the jungle’, and so he chose to mimic the animal that had the qualities he most required for his survival. Today we still find shamans in many cultures performing very similar ritualistic rites to develop their vision. For example, they would wear an eagle’s mask, as a way of using the shape of the bird to resonate with its energy qualities. This is what we now actually do with all the action figures of heroes, superstars and super models, which children love. Children are close to nature and are impressionable to the point that studies have shown that as the figures and games become more real, the boundaries between reality and fiction fade away. Here we have the potential of an imminent and real danger. Furthermore, Primitive Man discovered that if he drew the shape of an animal and used rituals of connectivity through resonance, the drawing became animated with the subtle energy quality of that animal. If he pointed a sharp weapon at the drawing, he saw through his primitive perception that the energy of the animal was affected. The drawings of the hunters throwing spears at the animal were already part of the hunt. These drawings were not meant as artwork; that is why they were not found near the entrance of the cave where they could be seen. By drawing those pictures on the wall in an area of the cave that manifested a communicative sacred energy quality, they enhanced the resonant effect Some might call this a form of functional art or sympathetic magic’.35 But in fact, it is resonance in action. Isn’t that what science is all about? First, observation, then repeatability under similar circumstances, with similar results. -The Language of Ancient Man : The transition from Primitive Man to Ancient Man was a huge shift in perception that drastically changed the worldview, and was accompanied by a strengthening of the ‘I/ego’ as a result of the movement of focus towards left-brain perception. With the development of logical, mathematical, and analytical mental abilities, Primitive Man started developing a civilization. At this stage, right-brain perception was still stronger than left-brain perception. The ‘I/ego’ became stronger than before, but not yet as strong as the forces of the collective, the subconscious, or the transcendental realms. He was still attached to the powers of nature with which he strives to be in harmony. This emerging civilization was the result of the harmonious role of the individual within the collective aspects of society and the laws of nature.
