    Dear Scott,

    >> Ok, So to take the example of the plastic action figures in your
    other post about essential meaning, the figure of Godzilla; the
    essential meaning is, in this case, created in the artists mind as an
    idea or intention, a message or intent that he/she wanted to convey
    which results in the form of Godzilla? <<

    It's not quite so simple. The end result generally expresses more than
    the artist intended and may even express something entirely different
    than the artist's intention. This Godzilla, for example, also carries
    with it the fact that it was stamped out, en mass, by some poor person
    in China making $20 a month. It also carries the essence of the
    material it was made of. [A wooden Godzilla, even if it looked exactly
    the same, would carry a somewhat different essence than this plastic
    fellow.] It also carries the essence of all those who played with it at
    one time or another.

    >> But what about natural forms such as a rose or tree, where do their
    essential meanings originate?
    Since they are not the result of an idea in a persons mind like the
    Godzilla character or the hunchback character, where do their essential
    meanings originate from?
    After reading the 'Gems of Akasha' response about essential meaning I
    can understand that it is the essential meaning that allows the
    manifestation and without the essential meaning there is no essence with
    which astral or physical matter can cling. Nature dresses according to
    the essential meaning the form in the astral density or both the astral
    and physical densities.
    But from where does the essential meaning of natural forms originate (
    since these do not originate in the mind of man )? <<

    The essential meanings that underlie natural forms originate with the
    Primordial Causation. And, in a sense, so too do the essential meanings
    resident within man-made forms, since the essential meanings of humans
    also originate with the Primordial Causation.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
