Aristotle said:”It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it”
The woman figure to the left represents a widely accepted idea, with the Ankh figure mirror (Ancient Egyptian symbol of life) and written on it in Hieroglyphic “life is a journey”.
Her vail is the idea. The man figure on the left represents someone who is blindly accepting the idea by kissing her feet, to the right of him is another man struggling to pull from the vail, Trying to read the book of truth for enlightenment! The book says in Greek “Open your mind’s eye...Seek wisdom and truth” from the book arises the truth-seeking questions as bubbles and a girl with a satisfied and peaceful smile, floating on the truth-seeking questions to reach the absolute truth represented by the bright star in the vast galaxy.
In the bottom half is the river of life, where people are blindfolded by the idea and just floating in the stream. One person took the blindfold off and looking at the galaxy with surprise to discover the truth and is swimming against the current.
How many ideas that are core bases to what we know now were at one point called, hypocritical, manic, witchery and blasphemy!
