What: The Ancient Anglo-Saxons were a people on the move. Thus their art had to be small and portable. The Sutton Hoo purse is the premier example of this art form. It is a small, portable and beautifully crafted status symbol made in ~ 625 AD. Fast forward about 1400 years and you'll find not much has changed. The iphone has similar attributes. It's a colorful, well designed, highly practical status symbol that's much in vogue in our own whacked out expansionist Anglo-Saxon culture.

"Animals have similar pathways and current running through them, yet their self-awareness is limited. I keep coming back to Sheldrak's theory of how the human brain and nervous system is like an antenna for consciousness, not the generator. So perhaps that explains why animals aren't like us, because their antennas can't receive the same frequency of consciousness we do."
