Costa Concordia

[Nević Nenad]

Maybe our so called reality works just like our dreams do, through symbols. Or is also operated through symbols, just like "every day's" life, symbols for everything is everywhere, we are just so used to it, so we don't even think about it. For example, changing geographic location, "mood" (people do that on travels) can be symbolically showed with traveling by boat (where in reality there is only energy and consciousness with no time, and no geographic place, playing illusion for fun or learning). Also every movie is symbolic representation of our reality, so maybe our reality could be symbolic representation of something else.

I think that we probably in some degree are cooperating in seeing those coincidences with something higher (maybe ourselves, maybe not, possibly both), of course in different levels. The question is do we see stuff like those because "we can" or they are "shown" to us, and by whom. Who is the initiator, was it us with asking, or something else is trying to tell us something, or make influence on us. Of course would be interesting to know what exactly is idea behind its symbolic appearance, but I think that is impossible to know in this world.

Here in Germany I could read, that the Concordia want to bow to isle Giglio (fleur de lis).

Other scripture and religious literature in which the lily symbolizes purity and chastity also helped establish the flower as an iconographic attribute of the Virgin.

A/to victim for purity and harmony.

Interesting, at present I read the book The Chalice and the Blade: Our History, Our Future by Riane Eisler.

So, then it is: the harmony with the unusual and unexpected help from purity will show who are the rats? :D

From the wikipedia: "Concordia is the Latin word for "harmony," literally "with (one) heart."

I noticed that too. There were many electrical/fire problems with Major Cruise Lines in the last months.

Plus there were:
Royal Carribean's Mariner of the Seas (11-March) -Fire from the cafe.
Princess Cruises' Carribean Princess (12-March) Propulsion problem.
