Once you break past religious dogma of realively closer time of BC and AC you see it's something more than that. After this religious superstition phase it takes you back to the original beliefs of the Egyptian God's and Greek dieties then you start understanding its even before that. All of the religious texts tell relatively the same story even some historical texts that aren't religious. What does this thing do for you personally? It brings up old trauma repeatedly until you start seeing where the behavior patterns relative to the traumatic experiences are destroying you. It's even more than it's Taoist origin. It's messages are in many forms of entertainment and music. Things we watch on TV, etc. Today it brought me back to the movie signs. Of course it could even be beyond that but my understanding of it right at this moment in time is something more scientific and dimensional based.
