Echoes of the Sphinx: Contemplating the Mysteries of Existence

The Great Sphinx of Giza stands as a sentinel of time, bridging ancient mysteries with modern contemplations. Its enigmatic gaze invites us to ponder not only the secrets of the past but also our place within the vast tapestry of existence.

As an architectural marvel, the Sphinx transcends mere stone and mortar. It embodies the synthesis of human ingenuity and natural grandeur, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. Through its stoic presence, it reminds us of the enduring legacy of ancient civilizations and their profound understanding of art, science, and spirituality.

But beyond its physical form lies a deeper symbolism, one that resonates with the timeless essence of the feline. Just as cats commandeer our affection with their regal demeanor, the Sphinx commands our contemplation with its cryptic allure. In the feline's sphinx-like pose, we find echoes of serenity, resilience, and wisdom—a testament to the enduring bond between humanity and nature.

In contemplating the Sphinx, we confront not only the mysteries of the cosmos but also the mysteries of our own consciousness. It beckons us to unravel the riddles of existence, to delve into the depths of our collective psyche, and to seek harmony amidst the chaos of the universe.

As we stand in awe of the Sphinx's majesty, we are reminded of our capacity to create, to imagine, and to transcend. It serves as a timeless beacon, guiding humanity towards a new awareness—a synthesis of tradition and innovation, of myth and science, of the earthly and the divine.

In essence, the Sphinx is more than a monument; it is a symbol of our enduring quest for knowledge, meaning, and enlightenment. And in its silent vigil, it continues to inspire generations to come, beckoning us to ponder the eternal mysteries that lie beyond the horizon of human understanding.

A REMINDER AND SOME FACTS ABOUT MEASURING TIME

Definition of a day: when earth makes a complete spin on its own axis, we get one day followed by one night. You can check with NASA (The National Aeronautics and Space Administration) or look back in your own memory and perhaps you will agree with me that this measurement of what we call a day, is universal with two caveats and is counted as a 24…

Embrace of the Serpent - visceral and decadent

     This masterful film by Colombian filmmaker Ciro Guerra has already garnered international acclaim. He chooses to shoot the film in all black and white, which I must say accentuates every bit of this tale set in the Amazonian wilderness about man and its journey in search of the elusive. The film follows two stories separated by time, but connected by the protagonist Karamakate, who is believed to be the last of his tribe/people.

     In his earlier, younger avatar he reluctantly agrees to help a European scientist Theo Grunberg, who is in search of a rare plant called yakurna. The plant has properties to bring profound visions and foresight to whoever consumes it. Karamakate (played by Nilbio Torres) hates White colonizers for the violence and destruction they brought with them. While he outright refuses to help Grunberg, it’s after some persuasion from a fellow Amazonian, who convinces Karamakate to help them for Grunberg has taken seriously ill and is close to death.

     The film follows this first narrative of Karamakate’s reluctant journey helping Grunberg. The stunning cinematography and the brooding depiction by Torres are complimented by the contrast the film presents: the generous and unflinching existence that the Amazon is, and the constant attack of man’s greed in the form of White scientist, who seems to follow the footsteps of his colonizer ancestors (albeit in a less violent form).

     The second narrative is now an older Karamakate, mellowed and quieter, realizing the truths of his human existence and mortality, still reluctant to help a similar search for the ever elusive yakurna plant, this time being chased by an American Richard Shultes.

     Both journeys navigate the waters of the Amazon (or so I think) and confront the violence of rubber plantations, a Christian mission school where children are being taught the way of God and larger issues of White centric notions of savagery. The film obviously is a critique of violence and devastation that colonization brought to the land but also the inherent nature of the natives to continue to persevere with their natural way of life. The visceral visuals of the film keep you glued to the world that is before you and more than the narrative or the characters, it’s the natural complexity and eternal beauty of the Amazon that makes the film such a unique film experience.
