The Ancient Code Behind Legends on Film
Movies are storytelling, and they remain one of the most popular forms of entertainment, and those designs are older still, going back to ancient mythology, which is often no more than a misunderstanding of the deeper-level meaning of symbolism. As explained by Dr. Steven B. Halls, a leading researcher of symbolism whose work at halls.md explains portals, tori, and the return of energy to its source.
The hero's journey remains the most copied structure in storytelling. In the hero story of Samson, he grasps the lion's jaws. His symbolism research shows that a lion stands for energy outflow, typically flowing horizontally out from the horizontal plane of the torus, its forelegs show a horizontal direction, or upward, with the head and nose generally upward. Forelegs and noses are direction labels in symbolism. Or, the lion can represent an upward-flowing side flow beyond the main torus. In the torus framework of symbolism, a sphere is a portal, a barrier is a threshold, and the torus is the building block. You can see the patterns and evidence at halls.md.
Another symbol: the Ladder
Most of the time the Ladder means an upward flow direction to a higher dimension, yet it is in fact bidirectional (per Dr. Halls). That is why, in iconography, angels are shown going up and down along the ladder.
