Pilasters of the church of Avenas
The apse in half dome of the church of Avenas is decorated with pilasters. There are 4 of them (ground, matter), separating 3 windows. These pilasters, or posts, look curiously like some pillars of the church of Belleville, (which of egg or hen…) but also with some pillars of the church of Beaujeu, and several pillars of the crypt of Tournus. It would seem that they can be dated from IXth century… They are Roman in their design, but do not have anything naive, as we will be able to study it further.
The first pillar
It
carries all length 6 circles in which we find a flower, each
different time. On the capital, a stylized flower, whose sheets are
drawn up towards the sky. The circles make think of the druidic cross,
which shows that the knowledge was found in the builders of the
Christian churches. Each circle corresponds to a chakra. The 7
principal ones are thus engraved in the stone, if we count the
coronal at the top. Each chakra control one or several organs. It is incredible to find inside each circle the flower which,
in the pharmacopeia of the Middle Ages, was used to look after the organ
related to will chakra…. We have to learn a lot from these Middle Ages
which some describes as obscure…
The second pillar
It
shows us this time the 7 chakras in the shape of flower posed
along an undulating line which leaves the base of the pillar to go up
to the capital. On this one, a crowned human head with a flower of lily,
and each side, a sheet of chelidonium.
The chelidonium, called also
large celandine, draws its name from the Greek “Khelidon”, who means
swallow. Another time was thought that the swallow was useful itself the
latex of the plant to clean the eyes of its childrens. Its to you “to see”…
A
note: the flowers are not at equal distance from each other, but
are placed exactly at the places where are chakras on the
human body. Space between them is narrower between chakra coronal
and the frontal one. I see from here large specialists saying that the
sculptor, having badly calculated his blow, tightened the flowers when
it arrived in top to gain place… Like the slope of the axis of the
churches, they could not be useful of a right feature, these poor mens....
This
pillar curiously makes me think of a rise of kundalini. The character
on the capital would be then the man waked up, the opened eyes, ready
to use energies like an initiate, crowned. He reached the illumination.
The
flower of lily stylized on the top of the head can be symbol of
generation, flower of glory and sublimated love, source of fruitfulness.
Another note:: the petals are presented on each felur in two circles, two of 5 plus the central petal. 11 flowers, 77 petals.
77= 7+7=14, the blade of the temperance which mairise energies busy from one pot to another, 1=4=5, harmony and balance…
The third pillar
It
advances to us in our chakras. Always 7 central flowers, this time
connected between them by wire of energy. Root chakra draws its
energies directly in the ground, the base of the pillar. The sky of chakra coronal is arched. One can also see, in the octagones
formed by the lines, chains of ADN. On the capital, a central flower
with 7 petals, a central point, and 28 holes around. At base 4 of the
pillar comes to be added 3, that one find in the 3 holes of the fruits
posed inside the sheets of large plantin the, favorable one to the
cicatrization and polishing substance. 4, ground, 3 sky…
The fourth pillar
It
carries us in the strongest energies, being placed on the crowned
network. We find once again our chakras, on each side this time, a
female side and a masculine? In the center, 12 flowers also connected
by energies. Cosmic cycle?
On the capital, three sheets of thistle, or large carline. The large carlinewas
used since Charlemagne (from which its name comes) like medicine
against any venom. On the subtle level, it protects from all the
dangers. Moreover, it communicates an invincible force… Normal thus to
find a amphisbene, of the Greek lecture theaters, the two sides, and
bainein, to go… Our snake, therefore energy or vouivre, which goes on
the two sides at the same time, is connected to cosmic and the telluric
one. We are in the presence of the pillar of the man made at the end of
his search, using energies without danger.
A hole in square form is on the left side of the pillar. It makes me think of a stoup posed there. It would be necessary to try to fill it with water in the winter solstice, and to take measures then. I am sour that we would have surprises…
