Photo Credit: Wagner Der Ring Des Nibelungen 1980 production European stories often invoke the Giant. With the latest in stage and media production the Giants are making a Huge impression on people. What are they? These entities have their own book. The text is classified as Apocrypha. The true meaning of this classification is given from the Greek translation ἀποκρύπτειν (apokryptein) This means "to hide away." Therefore if the reader happens upon the text they may read and learn the contents. Otherwise it is hidden from view. This is like the soul and spirit and body. The seven bodies of a physical being are hidden from the physical senses. Unless you can detect Auras around living organisms you might get confused why books and texts should be hidden. This is why there are four books in Christian New Testament. Maybe these texts have secrets and I am not allowed to know? That is just the Giant talking. When you understand the hidden texts the visible text begin to make sense. In the Jewish tradition there are three non hidden books, Yet only one is known by the public. It is called the Torah. There are two others. The Torah represents the physical body. The Kabbalah (also spelled Qabalah) represents the spirit, and the Zohar represents the soul. It is rare for people to have read all three books. The Giants or Nephilim are mentioned in non hidden texts in the Jewish and Christian Canonical texts. These are the Torah and the Bible. The Giants maybe have lost their chance at fame after all as their own book is not even known to many yet they themselves are famous on the internet, TV, and theater, hence in people's minds. What then are the Giants? The esoteric meaning refers to the mind. The Giant is also called the ego. Photo Credit: The American animated Movie the Iron Giant, 1999 by Warner Brothers. The film Iron Giant refers yet again to esoteric texts. The word iron refers to thoughts, and giant is ego of course. The film shows the transformation of the characters as the plot develops. The various emotions displayed are in fact the giants I am speaking of. The main character is the hero of the story. That makes the film unique as the Giants are the supporting characters. This emphasizes a physical Giant is not what esoteric texts mean, but your thoughts, which can lead to an unwanted action. Photo Credit: Goya Although the painting goes buy the name of The Giant. It is also named The Panic, and The Storm. These other names describe what giants are. If we let our mind believe false ideas. Our fantasies control us rather then we control ourselves. The temptation to do improper things comes from our own mind. To establish control requires invoking our will. Overcoming our giants can be difficult. The David and Goliath story is intended to help people subdue their wild thoughts. The painting above shows some of our giants can be addictions to food, medicines, unpleasant thoughts. That is why the paintings of Europe often shown David to be in a vindictive mood. Rather than showing a wise or Solomon behavior to their opponent. Perhaps it is best to make friends with your thoughts and win over your giants. A Giant can be ones best friend like a pet.
