Ædeos
Scope
The motivation behind building Ædeos
Most of writings that inspire Ædeos come from the science. Not from any specific branch of it, but rather from the process of discovering something new. There is always some mystery to it. Using the known to uncover the unknown. Fighting against our habits to break the wall of "it is as it's always been".
Ædeos unfolds mainly in a symbolic manner, featuring archetypes, feelings, emotions and immaterial concepts as beings one can almost physically interact with. In some cases they can even be clad in a living form -- I enjoy the thought of talking to the forces of nature and thoughts, feelings, emotions as if they were separate beings, present in a place remote, only partially accessible.
The goal of the project
My main goal is to discover and explore symbols and archetypes and understand them better. I feel that by doing so I will understand myself better and be more conscious about my inner world.
Understanding how my unconscious part (in the Jungian sense) sees the world is a big added value. Since many of the archetypes and symbols are shared throughout various groups and cultures this can get me closer to understanding motivations of other people. And these can be pretty challenging, especially with cultural clash or a bias.
Some ideas are crazy, beautiful and intense. I want to convey the way I feel them, so others may see the world as crazy, beautiful and intense.
Ædeos's Unique Selling point
Ædeos is a place where the immaterial world became part of the everyday reality. While everyone has heard about it, only selected people interact with it regularly. These people are called skalds, and similarly to scientists in our world, they enter the immaterial realm, searching for new ideas, pushing the advancement forward.
