Symbolism and other weird crap I think about for no apparent reason.
Think of a drum major's mace. A stick with two chains entwined around it and a ball on top. It's like a caduceus without the wings. So the ball is the mind. I guess that's mens in Latin and manas in Sanskrit. Really what the mind does is measure stuff, quantitatively or qualitatively - whatever. "mensuration" Mens and manas seem to be related to moon. Some measure time with it. Think of the ball on a mace as the moon. Now put an eagle on top. Now it has wings. "The Eagle has landed"

Those who must silence others for speaking the truth cannot be innocent.
