> There is art used in symbology. Many of those symbols were painted, or
> carved by the ancient wise men and their pupils.

> When we look at them now, we are often unable to distinguish those
> important points. Some are so large (as the Nasca lines in Peru, or the
> location of several temples in Egypt placed carefully to symbolize the
> constellation of ORION and the DOGS)

> If you wish to detect these forms that underlie art, study what HPB

> INDEX to the SECRET DOCTRINE trace those sacred numbers and figures to
> other references in the book. It is very helpful to do this and it
> teaches us how to use it.

> Starting with symbology is the best way. Then the use of the same ideas

> from all around the world. It is the UNITY of WISDOM.

> Some ancient systems suggested that the depiction of living things
> specially human and animal forms not be done because of the dangerous
> possibility of psychic links that could be formed in doing that. In
> some cases it became a prohibition. Art then was transformed into color
> selection, and the forms of geometry and calligraphy.
