All Is not As It Seems… – May 12, 2022

Dat Rosa Mel Apibus.

“The rose gives honey to the bees.”

Notice in image, the beehives to the right & the spider webs on the left of the rose.

The caption only mentions the bees & honey, leaving the spiders to be found by those who look more deeply into the image.

Most old alchemical drawings like this would leave something out to prevent the untrained person from understanding the formula, thereby concealing it for only those who know how to read it.

Almost anything, or any power that we can access, can be a force for good or a force for ill, depending on the intention and how it is used.

Intelligence, which is often seen as mostly good, can be used to educate someone or to insult another. Physical strength in the form of a bully can be used to beat someone up, or used to lift someone up.

Our words – what we say and what we write – can brainwash a nation or inspire the world.

Everything can be used with good or evil intent, like a rose. So try not to be so quick to judge something as good or bad.
