Birds three-headed

Psychologically, the three-headed bird could represent a situation where the intellect feels ungrounded, dissociated, and thrown into an immobilizing state of confusion. Things that used to make sense just don t. However, a golden crown on each of the bird s heads shows that it is still very much the Kingly Art, in other words, in the service of the Self, straining toward wholeness. 

If we think of Sol as a symbol of the Self, we might speculate that just when strife and confusion seemed to be about to overwhelm the psyche, the brightest light of consciousness has appeared. This may at first seem magical, but we might remind ourselves that the three-headed bird, for all its problems, did remain in the alembic. In other words, the process continued, was contained, and was not disrupted. 

The analysand s psyche may try to resolve these internal conflicts with reversion to the old order, with the former modes of ego-functioning and dominant complexes reasserting themselves (for example, the violent activities shown at the bottom of Plate II-3 or as intellectualizing defenses against somatic activation). The patient and therapist may have to face a fear of madness or paralyzing confusion (as shown by the three-headed white bird in the alembic in Plate II-3), one that is very different in experiential quality from the initial resistance to an encounter with the unconscious. 

Flow is classified broadly as shear fiow and extensional fiow. A catalog of various types of shear fiows has been given by Bird et al. [4]. In the present book, the discussion is restricted mainly to simple shear flow that occurs when a fluid is held between two parallel plates. Simple shear flow could be of the steady or unsteady type. Thus, flow is classified here under three headings ... 

Even bird embryos are sensitive to odors. If domestic fowl embryos were exposed to odors 1 day before hatching (including dichloroethane, formic acid, cineole, and amyl acetate) they responded with increased heart rate, beak clapping, and head shaking to the first three compounds. Amyl acetate had inconsistent results. Blocking the nostrils with wax eliminated the responses (Tolhurst and Vince, 1976). 

Initially feathers were regarded as a status symbol. They were very much part of any tribal attire in all parts of the world. In Afiica feathered head-dresses or necklaces were worn by shamans or witch doctors , possibly along with animal teeth and bird beaks. In South America whole capes were covered in bright feathers, for example the scarlet feathers of the ibis. Native Americans wore them as head-dresses or jewellery, and, in some cases, accorded them talismanic powers. Even in Scotland, the number of eagles feathers worn on the bonnet signifies rank, and althougih it is an old custom, the rule still applies. Only the clan chief may wear three eagle feathers, and a chieftain may wear two. 

Clostridium botulinum is widespread in soil and only requires warm temperatures, a protein source and an anaerobic environment to become active and produce toxin. Decomposing vegetation or invertebrates in summer can provide ideal conditions. Birds are most commonly affected by type C toxin, type E toxin being less important. Usually, fly larvae (maggots) feed on animal carcasses and store the toxin birds such as ducks which then eat the maggots can develop botulism even if only a small number (three or four) larvae are consumed. Birds can also ingest the toxin directly if they are carrion-feeders. As C. botulinum toxin affects the central nervous system transmission, affected birds are unable to fly or walk. Birds with paralysed neck muscles cannot hold up their heads and may therefore drown. Outbreaks are relatively common in the US and Canada from July to September and may claim the lives of thousands of birds. 

Hannah, Mary and Sophia were three sisters and Hannah was the Virgin Mary s mother. The Virgin first came down into the body of Seth, shining like a white pearl. Then successively entered Enos, Cainan. . Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, Noah. . Abraham, Isaac, Joseph. . David, Solomon. . and Joachim. And Joachim said to his wife Hannah "I saw Heaven open and a white bird came therefrom and hovered over my head". This bird had its being in the days of old.. It was the Spirit of Life in the form of a white bird and.. became incarnate in Hannah s womb when the pearl went forth from Joachim s loins and. . Hannah received it, namely the body of our Lady Mary. The white pearl is mentioned for its purity, and the white bird because Mary s soul existed aforetime with the Ancient of Days. . Thus bird and pearl are alike and equal. From the Body of Mary, the pearl, the white bird of the spirit then entered into Jesus at the Baptism. ...
