Comments on: Of UFOs and Rainbows http://symbolwatcher.com/2008/11/symbolism-of-ufos-and-rainbows/ The search for meaning in cultural, artistic and dream imagery Tue, 08 May 2012 15:14:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Writeye http://symbolwatcher.com/2008/11/symbolism-of-ufos-and-rainbows/#comment-132 Writeye Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:12:32 +0000 http://symbolwatcher.com/?p=224#comment-132 Thanks for your comment Michelle. Science is definitely not my area either, but I think your reminding us that a rainbow is the different spectrums of light separated in such a way that they are distinguishable to us is worth pondering. All the colors are contained in pure light, but we can't see them. Only through the miracle of refraction are we able to see red, from blue, from green. It seems I remember Jung describing a rainbow as a bridge between heaven and earth. Pure light (all the colors mixed together) reminds me of spirit. When we bring the pure light down to an earthly level and subject it to the physical "law" (?) of refraction, only then can we see the beautiful colors that are hidden inside the spirit. Jung said that God needs man to be realized. God only exists if something outside of God recognizes that God is. Maybe that is at least one aspect of the symbolism of the rainbow, the bridge between spirit and matter. Thanks for your comment Michelle.

Yeah, it's an odd leap, but I grew up with a dad who loved playing with the concept of gravity-magnetics-light. He'd love to point out to my (befuddled kid) brain that the formulae for electricity, gravity and the speed of light are all the same or very similar. Light is electricity is power is light. And a rainbow is the light split down into segments... different vibrations? Different frequencies? Science is not my area! We dream (as in aspire) to travel at the speed of light. So... could a UFO travel on a rainbow? ;-) The rainbow reminds me of electromagnetics. Yeah, it’s an odd leap, but I grew up with a dad who loved playing with the concept of gravity-magnetics-light.
