For Hesiod, in Works and Days, « The ThouGhT of Zéus holding the ever-ChaNGing Aegis, is difficult for mere mortals to PeRCeiVe » (translated from Paul Mazon's translation in the edition commented by Christine Hunzinger, who also highlights the omnipresent aMBiGuity of this text).

Grappling with ambiguity is essential to understanding Paleolithic culture: the lexical field was still limited, and each WoRD could MeaN one Thing and its oPPoSite. One needed to be attentive and understand the context to identify a word's meaning. This is what Genesis' Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil SymBoLizes. Indeed, for hominids, everything has always been about language.

You now understand why the ambiguity I highlighted in my last video on « ShaTa », around the settling process, feasting and dirtiness, is in fact also carried by the sound « Sha ». Unlike « TaRa », which conveys no ambiguity.

You can also see why this great discovery emerged from my ReSeaRCh on symbols and the PaRaDoX of the contract. For indeed, both the SuMBoLoN BReaKing into TWo haLVes and the paradox are extremely ancient, each embodying in its own way this Paleolithic ambiguity. As Ferenczi foresaw in Thalassa, Psychoanalysis of the oRiGiNs of SeXual LiFe, the symbol is a historical monument, and symbolism, or the study of symbols, can be a great SouRCe of historical knowledge. We'll come back to this later.

This is why we are in the age of the PaRaDoX, the age of President Macron’s favorite expression « at the SaMe time ». This eRa is the era of the Paraklet, the era of the MeSSiah who reuNifies oPPoSites. One word especially embodies paradox: « sense », an obviously highly polysemous word (The French « SeNS » is even more polysemous since it means, as in English, « meaning » and « feeling », as well as « way » or « direction »). Hey, Polisson, we’re waiting! « Sorry, sorry, sense is also Red 🔴 Black ⚫ and Light Blue 💎 ». « Sens » (direction) always goes TWo WaYs: uP-WaRDS and DoWN-WaRDS, to the left and to the right, FoR-WaRDS or BaCk-WaRDS.

This DuaLity of ‘sens’ (direction) appears everywhere in Neolithic pottery, whether in the FoRM of butterflies, FLoWeRs or oPPoSing SPiRaLs. There are also many DouBLe eGG-ShaPed figures resembling a HeaRT🩷 or an aSS🍑, but you're now aware that it's more or less the same thing: what is double is what is SePaRated by a GRooVe or a SLiT.

The other archetype of the PaiR is, of course, the two-sided🔄, two-FaCed🔄, rotating🔄 BiFaCe. In Hebrew, ṢeʕaFah, already seen with the slit, also means sides, as in 1 Kings 18.21. Another two-sided object is, of course, the medal, STaMPed on eaCh side with ... SeaLs. Heads and tails.

Lastly, another two-sided object is the SaChet. iNSiDe and ouTSiDe. We'll come back to the sachet in a moment. In short, as you can see, ladies and gentlemen, we have up and down. We have the SuMMiT and the aBySS. And, as Lao Tzu says when speaking of the Tao in Chants 14, 42 and 78, « Going up high, it is not bright, and coming down low, it is not dark  ». « Therefore it is often the case that things gain by losing and lose by gaining. What others have taught, I teach also: Violent and fierce people do not die a natural death  », and « STRaiGhT words seem to be their oPPoSite ». Doesn’t this remind you of the Gospels, several centuries and thousands of miles away? Now you know why. This is the Paleolithic style. This is the Paraklet’s style.

In Egyptian SA means the ReVeRSe side, the VeRSo. There's the ToP (DeSSuS in French), what's on top (SuR), and the BoTToM (DeSSouS) which is underneath (SouS). And ViCe-VeRSa. But it's best not to TuRN everything upside down. By the way, let’s look at verso again. Verso comes from VeRSus, the past participle of VeRTo. VeRTo means to turn oVeR; found in interVeRTir in French (to SWaP), iNVeRTo (iNVeRSer in French, to iNVeRT), conVeRSo (ReTouRNer in French, to turn aRouND). A ConVeRT is someone who turns around and goes the other way. It also appears in VeRTical, from VeRTeX, the summit.

Verto/Verso is akin to a bridge between « TaRa », with its notion of turning, and the aMBiVaLence of the two-sided « Sa ». And Verto doesn't contain S, simply because it transformed: « ShaTaRa » turned on itself one time too many. A bit like you, Polisson, always ChaNGing colors: « Yes, Paraklet, and Verto is the biggest chameleon of them all, he's Green 🟢 Purple 🟣 Red 🔴 Brown 🟤 Yellow 🟡 Black ⚫ Light Blue 💎  ». What a rainbow!

In English, to TuRN on oneself is to SPiN🔄 « And it's also Purple 🟣 and Brown 🟤 ». The spin is key in physics: it's the archetype of the TWo-STaTe system. In my youth I had a lot of fun with spins, through the Ising model. You'll soon find out that Palaeolithic linguistics includes many quantum mechanics concepts. Starting with the famous Shroedinger's CaT, who is BoTh dead and alive as long as you don't look at it.

The aMBiVaLent « Sha » is also HiDDen in the electrical ChaRGe, the PoSitive charge attracting the NeGative charge. In PaRTicle PhySiCs, one talks about the CoLoR charge of QuaRKs and GLuons. Another particularly interesting object is the DNA🧬 molecule, with its two STRaNDs BeaRing the BaSes Adenine, Thymine, Guanine and Cytosine, one of the strands being the negative of the oTheR, where Adenine SWiTChes to Thymine and Guanine switches🔄 to Cytosine, and... ViCe-VeRSa🔄. By the way, how interesting that the heLiX🧬, seen from the SiDe, is ShaPed like a ... SiNuSoid - but we'll come back to helixes and SPiRaLs🍥, just like your tail, Polisson.
