The Seeker who stays the Path (Truth) has removed the dust from his eyes and the plugs from his ears. He considers his happening upon wealth, honor, poverty, attainment, loss, love, and aversion/desires, as clouds passing by in a windstorm, or ashes from a fire. Ming Confucian, Wang Yang-ming.

"Currently, truth and virtue are tied to published scholars, whose goals are tied to wealth and fame. The man of true virtue does what is right because it is right, with no thought of reward; what he says or writes is true, and cares less about fame or honor." Shouren Wang (15th Century Confucian)

Which of course is a concept found in Taoism going back 1000s of years. "But I alone am drifting, not knowing where I am. Like a newborn babe before it learns to smile,
I am alone, without a place to go. Others have more than they need, but I alone have nothing." Laozi

"The person who obtains wealth, honor, poverty, humble position, attainment, loss, love, and aversion, realizing they are nothing more than passing clouds in the sky, accepts the greatness of the Path which remains complete even in change, and embraces all." Stoic Wisdom--not really, Wang Shouren

"The mind of the sage considers spiritual, material, and all things as One {mind, body, spirit}. He makes no distinction between differences in people. All living things share the same Force. There is no one he wishes harm too, or refuses to aid. Everyone originally is like this." Wang Shouren.

Has a more esoteric purpose-same w/ I-Ching. Both are meant to be like Buddhist Zen Koans. To create that "aha" moment... Have to let your subconscious soak it all in. The problem is there is usually a "selfish" purpose behind their use, which negates any benefit. You can't want to be a mystic.

"Selfishness should not be cherished in one's breast, for its presence engenders pride. The many good characteristics of sages of ancient times were due to a selfless mind. Being selfless they were naturally humble. Humility is the foundation of all virtue; pride the chief of vices." Wang Shouren.

Big difference between "wisdom" and "knowledge" though--unless we get into the esoteric meaning where the Owl represents, "knowledge of secrets" and things hidden. illuminatiwatcher.com/decoding-ill...

Define "good." My experience it is those who say they are "good" are the ones using naivete of others for their own self gain. For example, this guy--the "Pope of America" (Card. Fran. Spellman) was alleged to go to Pedo parties w/Roy Cohn and J Edgar Hoover. Cohn was mentor to Epstein and DJT.

The Two Towers in New York represented US "Enlightenment" Policy (Yin/Yang), as symbolized on US Dollar on back (Eagle with Peace/Idealism/Yang and War/Materialism/Yin in its claws). So why replaced with the One Tower of Mordor?

So if Olive Leaves represent Democrats (Idealists) and War Arrows represent Republicans (Materialists), then what/whom does the Eagle represent (Logos). And why does the Treasury Seal on Front express "Balance is Key." Esoteric philosophical truths that have been forgotten by the ignorant.

Any Freemasons or those with real insight willing to explain the symbolism of the Owl--and the difference when compared to the Eagle (Reason/Logos). Any Spiders willing to Weave some webs?

Looks like a Demon. Beware.

Anyone familiar with the Taoist "10 Ox Pictures". Used by Taoists to represent Path to Enlightenment. But many Westerners seem to think there is no "evil" or darkness within to control. What would the Ox represent then. And why do the pictures change from a black ox to a white ox?

Crows--the spawn of Satan. Of course, they are afraid of the wise ones who hide out and hunt in the dark.

Is this a Sith vs Jedi question? Both. There should be white steam rising above them and black ashes underneath.
