FROM LIGHT
TO FORM
​
MERCURY AS A PLANET IN EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY IS THOTH AND IN GREEK, HERMES. HERE (TH) IS THETA. AND O, OMEGA, THE SUN. TH(O)TH IS THETA-OMEGA-THETA. WHERE THETA IS MERCURY AND OMEGA IS THE SUN. ITS CLOSEST ORBITING PLANET.
TH, IS THEOLOGY, THESIS, THOUGHT, THINK, THE, THESAURUS AND CONCEPTS THAT IDENTIFY AND DEFINE CONCEPTS INTO LOGOS AND IDENTITY, ENABLING UNDERSTANDING/PERCEPTION. HERE IT IS MERCURY'S JOB TO TRANSLATE THE LIGHT OF THE SUN INTO LANGUAGE, FORM, INSTRUMENTATION, SYSTEMS, SYMBOLS, EXPRESSIONS AND SO ON.
MERCURY IS THE SCRIBE. THE MESSENGER. TO USE THE BODY AS AN INSTRUMENT TO CHANNEL ENERGY, LIGHT AND ELECTRICITY INTO FORM, IDENTITY AND EXPRESSION.
