Occult meaning of Children's stories, Part one (Cartoons) : Disney's "Beauty and the Beast"

[EstrellaFugaz]

The Wisdom in Toons

 

 

First, an apologie if my english is not so correct-spelled as i wanted to. Thank God for the word-spelling editor.

 

Secound, let's get into matter:

 

You must have noticed by now that Children stories have a lot of occult meaning. As I am going to re-write this same article to Spanish-versed readers later, i'll try to be brief in this subject, and extend, progressively, in succesive chapters. 

 

We could divide these stories in various parts, such as:

 

1.- The classic tales of Snow white, Rapunzel, Sleeping beauty, etc ('The" classic versions of these child's stories)

2.- The adaptations towards time or by the adaptations by the authors that grab these stories from colective-popular beliefs (perrault, Christian Andersen's, etc)

3.-WHEN these stories come and get popular because the Mass-Media grabs them and become popular items of the popular culture.

 

As to not make this blog post so extent, I'll concentrate myself today to the 3rd incise, and write someting about the Disney adaptation of "Beauty and the Beast". I will try in further ocassion to write more in extent in these series of writings, about these cryptic-hermetic-occult-magical messages in cartoons, as far as I can find and investigate about. These research for now, it is concentrated only for the Theosophical-hermetical lodges, in particular, in this one.

 

The beauty and The beast as far as I know, is an adaptation of charles Perrault' story about a damsel that her father goes ' on a trip' he is a 'mercader' or merchandiser, and in his way goes and finds a castle and in that castle he gets attended well, untill he cuts 'a rose' without permit, so a horrid beast goes and grabs him, and he cannot go until he promise to send one of her daughters instead. instead of sending the less appealing and mischeaved ones, the lesser and noblest goes to her father's rescue, and she sacrifies herself, going to live with the beast. Later she finds herself atracted to the horrid beast, because of her noble manners, until he gets attacked by some logger (or is it, 'lodger'?) and she tells her that she loves him, even though it's horrid aspect. Then the spell gets broken, revealing a handsome prince and he gets to marry her.

 

That's the original version as far as i know about. Now, in Disney's animated, well...by now you Theosophers-hermetists have been noticed all the magical symbols in the movie, no?

 

In disney's version - and someone in this forum can complete this brief analysis - we can find a lot of Masonic symbolism in the movie. Starts when Bella - the damsel, or Beauty - its presiding the 'table' or masonic table, with a 'square' and diverse aditments the Masons use when they preside the table (sorry my bad english, have to translate the words: "escuadra" "atril" "mandil" and some other masonic symbolisms that i cannot translate correctly. in resume, a WOMAN presiding a Masonic reunion? (it's the part when 'bella' gets courted by 'Gaston" and his sidekick in the movie, at start.

 

Further we notice than instead, bella goes to the castle to get his father-an inventor, like Ben franklin- from an angry beast, and in the castle -and in Bella's indumentary - we can still keep seeing symbolisms of occult fraternities. In resume, the entrance of Bella's to the gloomy castle, it remainds us more, to an occult reunion of some magic fraternity, than to a fantasy castle, with all the paraphernalia like the Bella's cap, the demon-like beast (sort of the Baphomet of Eliphas levy? read a bit of that, not enough  to satisfy my needs)

 

Instead of some tough good looking-bully (an analogy of that 'beauty or inner beauty' is INSIDE) We can see there between the fight of Bella and Gaston, some very serious lodge fight, with the symbols and analogies on a cartoon, get revealed when you see the movie various ocasions, and in the better you see it the more symbolism you can get: You can notice then, how a 'woman' gets then 'initiated' , instead than in the common 'lodges' not accesed to women, to the Big one, the ample 'castle' that can get you to get your 'father' or 'occult father' and the secret 'knowledge' grabbed by Bella, when the "Beast' gets tamed and in his milder manners, reveals the most dearing secret: the "knowledge' revealed by the castle ample library. (Also the library and parts of the castle, stone carved 'knights -templars?- with swords' in the opening of the 'doors', and lots, lots of pasages in it that can make you rethink of WHO or WHAT or even better, to WHO the (Disney's?) or occult excecutives of t he media are talking about. A woman, initiated in the lodges, in the 'powerful' ones, instead?? WHO they're talking about?? (a good GUESS)

 

The latest occult message, the ball, the moment than the Beauty dances and tells her love to the beast, all under the 'cross' (where she was 'buried'? with her father, got out and tells her loved beast one her love 'under the spell of the ROSE', in the final and last room of the castle...well...makes you really think about, and re-think, under what influence the cartoons, and lots of the kind, are made about.

 

Lots of magical-masonical symbolism  in this Disney's version of the Beauty and The beast. even more than the original, because a very important reason: Cartoons are made to reflect the POLICIES of the time, the sociological/political/world politics of the time, so also are made in a particular time-stamp, to reflect the policies of their time...And i believe this cartoon was made around 1993 about. Sounds the time familiar?

 

I'll make you a deal: Watch you people the cartoon movie, and write back in your comments, see if you can find some esoterical aspect in this particular movie you can abound more about. all knowledge is welcome. You learn, we all learn...

 

 

These brief article will be part of a series of articles of the same subject.

 

Thanks in advance for all. Peace to you all.

So...that is what it really is...the QUEST of the SOUL trying to identify/submerge itself with the ONESELF...the lower manas, and the buddhi manas... :O ...wow...

You know what....you are already ANSWERING ME about my own personal quest, in the latter post of me above here...

 

Yep...probably that's why....fairy tales very much resembles our life of our own.... ;-)

 

hope I CAN be victorious on this quest...btw, I feel myself more of like a Faustus right now (remember? that old man that sells his soul to become young again and be mate of the beautiful Margherita, and herself saves the soul of the poor candid unFaust?

 

Cheers and thank you very much for reading me.

Estrella, lovely idea to dive into cartoons and fairy tales.

It's not entirely my cup of tea, but I understand that an often used theme is the reunion/harmonization of the soul, lost in matter, with its parent, or the transformation of the kama-manas into  buddhi-manas, or the acquisition of wisdom by the peregrinating soul.

Plato would probably say something about the soul remembering its true nature.

It will be interesting to see how you develop this research. There must have been written volumes about this by psychoanalysts like Jung or researchers of myth like Joseph Campbell.

Keep it going!
