Ironically it's the literalist left hemisphere of the brain that is telling you to take nothing literally. I'd say it's important to take things both literally and allegorically - to balance both left and right hemispheres of the brain. Or to balance rational mind and intuition, as explained by McGilchrist:

I agree. This algorithm can be applied to all things.Ironically it's the literalist left hemisphere of the brain that is telling you to take nothing literally.

A road towards a black hole and the "all-seeing pyramid eye" seem to be very questionable symbols with too much negative occult baggage.

This is exactly my point: our baggage does not allow us to see clearly.
Laura and the Cs talked about triads here:

It is the baggage around the occult symbols that you posted that is the problem. They seem to have too much 'negative energy' or 'negative intention' attached to them due to be being used by negative occult groups.
Dabbling in occultism or using its symbols does not seem to be a good idea as it can be dangerous.

I posted those images to illustrate a concept. Every tradition, every cult, every myth, every religion etc have ways to illustrate the same idea. All these images are copies of the same. We should be able to access the entire information field all at once rather just be limited to a fixed point of perception. If we limit ourselves to only one point of view we will not be able to see the whole. For example in the following images some Christians will see this representation of the same concept as a "good idea", but some people of other religious believes might find it "dangerous". Some others might see a gay couple here; and the poor rainbow symbol now became either loved or hated. But on the picture below I see the duality of the two eyes/nimbi merging-criss-crossing (just like in that mandala video) to see something that was previously unseen - the 3rd eye theme. So let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Human consciousness has a tendency to fragmentation and internal conflicts. Fragmented mind perceived the world as vast expanses of space, which require time, effort and special technical means to overcome it. Those means also include building technical portals. But consciousness can move along a continuum without perceiving separations an obstacles such as different countries, different languages, cultures, religions, points of view etc. Because all of them have the same essence at their core, and the separation is only in our minds. Information is neutral. It depends on us how we want to feel about it and what we want to do with it.
We can make portals without any technical means. If we proceed from the idea that discreteness is just a feature of human perception, the consciousness that has overcome this limitation does not need to be moved in the technical sense through a portal. Perhaps such a "movement" can be possible through a "third" threshold state when the habitual perception is ruptured and when we strip off all of our baggage associated with information. When the information gets cleared of this residue we can start seeing the unseen, we enter into the Knowledge. This can also be called a portal. This how I think technical and non-technical portals are similar and different.

What you are refusing to acknowledge as at least a possibility is that symbols themselves can be 'tainted' by negative occultism and the dark rituals they perform. The 'information fields' of the symbols you posted now seem to contain those dark energies. And by refusing to see this while using these symbols, you may be opening yourself up to various forms of attack.
Knowledge protects, ignorance endangers.
Look at that image of the "road to the black hole": According to the C's a black hole is the final destination of STS. How you can convince yourself that this image can represent something positive is beyond me.

Perhaps, but for me all of these images are a representation of this World, which I chose to see as a whole, not fragmented. I see all these images as an archetype, without a favorable or unfavorable residue.
The black hole to me looks like an eye, you have 2 of those on your face)
To me that image represents the idea of the 3rd eye.

With all do respect for your concern, ill try to explain this images in a way that may make sense.
First of all lets first address the Mandalas. They are computer generated images that with the proper visual focus, that is either crossed eye or divergent, or rather having the focal point be short of or passed the image, will allow the brain to decode the 2D image and convert it into a clear detailed 3D image as if by magic, it would help to be relaxed, as in a meditative state of awareness to allow the visual process to unfold.
Patience is required at first to learn how to relax the focal point and perceive the transformation. Be mindful to not over strain the eyes when first attempting this, but with practice it becomes easy.
Patience will reward every one with an incredible display of computer generated art that will ingage the left and right brain.
This 3D concept was first developed by Dr. Bella Julesz in the 1960s to study human depth of perception. With the advent of powerful computers, artists and scientists have since developed extraordinary designs that are visually engaging and meaningful.
Geometric and fractal images are brought to life by perceiving their 3D quality despite the limitation of their 2D depiction. This can only be visually realized and appreciated from experience, I'm afraid theirs no other way.
As for those who have concerns to the point of finding mandals distasteful or sinister, i would suggest going to a Cathedral to appreciate this masterfully depicted geometric flowers in their stained glass windows, or studying the captivating mandalas depicted by Buddhist monks, there are many more culturally and religious depictions of importance through out the world that are well worth appreciating.
And as for those vintage and historical images of occultism, it would behove one to remain objective and have intellectual curiosity in the least.
Understandably, we all suffer from cognizant dissonance wich impairs our clear perception of the obvious, and by willful intent I may add.
Certainly their will be obfuscations in life to confuse us on our journey back to Avalon, and associating the imagery with the nefarious, will only confuse, what is clearly a symbol of that journey.
From immaturity to a developed soul, with the possibility to navigate through the gates of life towards our freedom, along side those who graduated.
Jacobs latter, the Yellow Brick Road, Boaz and Jackin, and the list is long and universal, all allude to the struggle in the material world towards the spiritual world.
Even crop circles remind us of that journey back! Can you guess what is being described in this image. And compare it to this historical relief. Please keep an open mind.

I watched those mandalas on a huge screen today and it felt like I am falling into them. That reminded me of a starry sky far away from civilization that I have been looking at for a while in a similar manner equalizing both eyes. I felt like I am falling inti tge sky, everything became more vibrant, I could see tge entire depth. This is how it feels when our conciousness overcomes the fragmentation of duality: we see everything more clear and more deep, we lovingly admire the endless patterns of the Universe.
Yes, I noticed that many architectural ensembles have features that are unseen to casual observers. Seeing them requires looking at the entire picture as a whole without favoring one eye or another one part or another. Impartiality is a key.
These metaphors are everywhere:
When you look at both balns of your hands next to each other you will see hamsa

Based on my understanding I can choose many words to interpret the images. One of them would be: the balanced duality of the dragon-ouroboros gives birth to life, meaning and essence. It is a word/breath/fire/life/language/heritage/wisdom that comes out of that portal.
Here is another similar image. Notice that the Goddess Kali showing her tongue is the same symbol as a child in your, ivanb, image. Dragon-like nature of Kali, the duality of sun and moon eyes and the third eye in the middle: the OM symbol

Advertising is a whole new can of worms. Their raison d'être is to capture the mind. Not to belittle any French fashion house, they certainly are worthy of respect for helping define feminine elegance. But I have said this for decades, if you want to understand how the mind works, study the black art of advertising/media. So as not to be lead astray. Lol
