THE SYMBOLISM OF LANDSCAPE AND WATER

Symbolically a boat is a means of ‘ecstatic transport’. As Water is the symbol for spirit, one ‘sails in ecstasy’ ========================= CREDITS PAINTINGS Botticelli: The Birth of Venus from the Medici Georges Seurat – various paintings Rosemary Rock-Evans – Magic Ship, Sailing and Rowing L S Lowry – Sailing boats Edouard Manet – The Battle of the Kearsarge and the Alabama Arnold Böcklin - Odysseus and Polyphemus John William Waterhouse – Circe Offering the Cup to Odysseus Gustave Dore – Illustration for Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s Ancient Mariner Otto Sinding - Fra Reine, Lofoten, Norway VIDEO David Rock-Evans taken in Mull, Scotland MUSIC Evening Lake by Gilmore Trail We are Gilmore Trail, an instrumental post-rock band based in Sheffield in the UK. We have Danny and Dave on guitars, Joe on bass and Bob on drums. We supplement our core band sound with synth, soundscapes and field recordings, taking our cues from aspects of progressive rock. Our music is purely instrumental, inspired by the vastness and majesty of the natural world. We feel that the music takes us and the listener on various journeys, from rolling green hills to icy wastes, from the most arid deserts shooting up into the astonishing emptiness and stillness of deep space. Our website can be found at www.gilmoretrail.co.uk We can be contacted at info@gilmoretrail.co.uk

Water in all mystic systems means ‘spirit’. If received it may be represented as symbolic rivers, streams or waterfalls, even ‘rain’. But these symbols describe spiritual input, received from outside our own mind. But spirit can also be received that ‘rises’ from inner reserves, often represented symbolically as lakes or ponds, built up by us. This 'inner spirit' can be used during ‘purification’, which is either long and drawn out, or it may be rather dramatic and symbolically represented using a Fountain. If it is in the form of a fountain , it denotes a kundalini experience . In the majority of mystic movements there were techniques that enabled a person to conserve energy in these virtual ‘ponds’ or ‘lakes’ within their own bodies and then further techniques that then released the energy in a controlled way. The techniques were once there in the majority of eastern systems and the western systems shared them with the east, Judaism and the Kabbalah, for example. But the decline in knowledge of these systems has resulted in more people becoming ill, as reserves built up anyway, but were not released - or if released did so in an unmanaged way. ================== CREDITS PHOTOGRAPHS Chatsworth - Although the source of the photos is unknown, there are a number that were taken of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire showing the Cascade and the Emperor fountain Lalique fountain - Exposition-internationale-des-arts-decoratifs-et-industriels-modernes-Paris Edicule-Church-of-the-Holy-Sepulchre-Jerusalem PAINTINGS Rene-Magritte---Hegel’s-Holiday Rene Magritte – La Corde Sensible Salvador Dali – Aquarius The-second-Jewish-Temple-by-Alex-Levin The Ghent Altarpiece – Jan van Eyck Hieronymous Bosch – from the Garden of Fortune The fountain of life- Wellcome_V0017493 Aged Quetzalcoatl Leaves Mexico on Raft of Serpents Jan Van Eyck – Arnolfini Portrait Fountain of Water – Barbara Chichester Walter-Crane - The-Frog-Prince VIDEO EFFECTS AND FOOTAGE Free 4K FOUNTAIN CHRISTMAS background - No Copyright Stock Video https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=44_yKVZAosw Playing at the Fountain Footage - Free to use - No copyright https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=FL-ufVNVgow Fountain free stock footage - stock footage - stock video - royalty free background video hd https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=mH1Ld4KgBtI Water Fountain - Free Stock Video and Footage Video Background No Copyright | Nature https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=-qiR1C9JHQY Fountain Free Background Video, Free Stock Footage And Motion Graphics, No Copyright Animations https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=s5BWUS4ufIE Beautiful water fountain Stock video footage | Fountains Royalty free video - No copyright | 4k https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=h2O1XUhnvqA Fountain no copyright video | shower Free footage|| Nature Copyright free video https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=c-dZaDB8O9k Water fountain - Free stock footage video royalty free HD https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=g4xOzkEmBvU [4K] Water, Fountain, Waterfall, Park, Binjai, Icon | FREE STOCK FOOTAGE VIDEO - NO COPYRIGHT https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=9Tq6rS0pDYE MUSIC 00:00 In the Temple Garden - Aaron Kenny 01:42 White River - Aakash Gandhi 04:02 Dreamland - Aakash Gandhi 06:51 Assembling - Asher Fulero 08:28 Sweetly My Heart - Asher Fulero 10:24 English Country Garden - Aaron Kenny

Gardens reflect the level one has ascended spiritually. At each stage of ascent one is figuratively tending to and nurturing the garden of your soul. ==================== CREDITS Stanley Royle – The Goosegirl Eleanor Fortescue Brickdale – a number of paintings Japanese photos – Professor Rod Smallwood with many thanks Some pictures are from the Arab medical textbook , - the Tacuinum Sanitatis. Although written in the 11th century, it describes the beneficial and harmful properties of plants, and sets forth the six essential elements for well-being: • sufficient food and drink in moderation, • fresh air, • alternations of activity and rest, • alternations of sleep and wakefulness, • removal of bad ‘humours’ [stale energy] and • the effects of states of mind. Jardin Majorelle - Photos by D Rock-Evans. Jardin Majorelle is in Marrakesh. It is not a large garden but features many of the symbolic garden attributes – it is walled and has small ponds as well as fountains and numerous symbolic plants. Some of the plants have been chosen for the climate, and as such have no specific symbolic associations, but there is a noticeable use of cactii. There is much use of very bright clear colours, as well as paths which have a distinct outline and colour [red mostly]. The blue used is intense – the sort of blue found in many religious paintings.
