Age & place definition of Beads on Ancientbead.com
Go 2 the age definition
I must straight away confess that when I on Ancientbead.com write
that a bead is from the Maurian period or the Kushan period or from this or that area, it is guesswork.
But this guesswork is based on all the research and information I got about the beads from the sellers.
It is very difficult to be absolute precice the assesment of a beads age and place of origin.
The place of origin is difficult to say because beads are great vagabonds and explores.
They have for millenias been stringed around the neck of travellers.
In this way Beads have been ambassadors of beauty and wealth,
charged with the mystery of far away places, never to be seen
by their new owners, but maybe smelled like a fragrance,
an intuition telling that the world is deep and mystic,
and with inspiration from Nietzsche:
deeper as the day can fathom.
At that time the beads were of course not ancient.
But they have grown mature and wise like old people and wine.
And so they got ancient by the grace of an old
illusive woman called 'Ælde' in the Nordic mythology.
Even the God of war, the strong viking Thor
could not defeat Ælde, the God of time and old age.
Like the wise Indians say: what is born, has to die.
But it seems the ancient beads could defeat Ælde.
because the beads grow stronger and stronger with age.
And so they mature into tokens of timelesness - of a reality that is ever more desireable
in a modern world with a center of gravity, or should I say hyperreality, that is immaterial
in the sense that it is a world of information referring to information with the speed of light.
This digital world is a beautiful world! It makes this website possible.
So how could i discard this world?
But like any other manifestation in time and space it has a backside
you need to counter with awareness.
On the dark side of this moon I sense the danger of being engulfed by unreality.
But there is a remedy - a medicine:
When you wear an ancient bead you are protected from the unreal.
Every time you aware this bead the symbolic energy of the generations before you that
took this staffet, will connect you with a time where we were much, much more simple people
in a much, much more simple world.
So with this prologue we can return to the beads and the definition of age used on this site.
I can only guess, but based on research, if a bead is an Indius valley bead or not.
But what I can certify is if a bead is ancient or not.
Definition of the age of beads on Ancientbead.com
Ancient: By ancient I mean more than 1000 years old.
Old: less than 1000 but more than 100 years.
Antique: By antique I mean more than 100 but less than 200.
Most of the beads displayed on this site are ancient.
Ancientbead.com is not a scientific site
I could be confined to a nutshell
and yet be a King of infinite space
were I not haunted by bad dreams.
Shakespeare, Hamlet
I do not claim that this site is scientific.
This is primarily because I am not backing up all my
theories and claims by documantation.
Seondly I think that one, also people who call themselves scientists,
should be very careful with that claim.
Because there is no science that can surpass the scientist.
And he is just a human being ... is it not so...
No scientist can jump his own shadow understood as his
individuality, his personality, his 'humanness'.
So whatever a scientist documents, it can never be free from
the clouding of him self.
There fore Socrates is right when he claims:
'I Know that I do not know'
Concerning beads I still have to explain why I started this chapter with
a quotation of Shakespeare. It is because I as a guest in the bead world
and as a traveler in many worlds and dimensions of life has noted a peculiar
thing about knowledgeable people in the bead world.
And that is: Almost in no other walk of life have I seen
a so relative large number of people claiming that they know!
I will sum this up with the following statement:
It is surprising to see how a big ego can hide in such
a small and insignificant thing like a small bead hole.
PS.. Dear reader! You can only prove me wrong by laughing
at what you have just been reading
and not take it all too serious...
