Fish Symbol

The Secret of the Fish Symbol more to come from zOne 'To Shine"
by Richard Gerber

 

Many know the fish symbol used by Christianity, which actually was actually used by the esoteric branches of the movement much disliked by the authorities for they carried a truth that was a threat to those in power. Fewer know that back in the day one would draw half the symbol and if the other person drew the other half completing symbol it meant they were of like mind and connected to the source.

It is actually a symbol from the Indus script. There is much controversy and questions surrounding the Indus Script and the Indus civilization. The script showed up around 3200 B.C.E.—the same era in which hieroglyphics and cuneiform began to appear in Egypt and Iraq. Some view the Indus civilization as the direct ancestor to Hindu tradition and Vedic culture. The Indus civilization is intriguing with their sophisticated sewers, huge numbers of wells, and a notable lack of monumental architecture or other signs of an elite class. Most intriguing of all is the mysterious system of symbols, left on small tablets, pots, and stamp seals.


Going back to the Indus script, the Fish symbol can be the symbol for fish but it was mostly used as the symbol for STAR. In almost all Dravidian languages the word for 'fish' is meen. Many Dravidian languages have also the homophone meen meaning 'star' derived, in this case, from the root meen, 'to shine'.

So the fish symbol was a reminder to shine with the light to reflect it into the world, the light as carrier of information and intelligence and the warmth of vibration.

We see the fish are named after the stars which we became aware of before the fish. When first standing at the edge of a clear lake we see from below the surface flashes of light. It seems the stars have fall into the water during the day. However looking closer at the detail we see that this was only an appearance and that the flashes of light are small creatures that when properly aligned with the rays of the sun reflect the light of the sun and shine, hence the name shiners for minnows.

Interesting though in looking at the Indus “fish” symbol we see that it is vertical and looks like a rocket and the fin placement is not that of something that swims but something that flies which is something interesting to note.

So going back to the Interpretation of the Indus Scripts using “star” rather than “fish” we find a whole new meaning and instruction.
