شعری سروده دکتر ویدا احمدی با نام قلمی دانا کامران با عنوان سوغات فردایی
منم تاریک اینجایی تویی خورشید آنجایی
من از تاریک می ترسم بیا سوغات فردایی
من و این کودکی های پر از ادراک آغوشت
تو و گهواره خواب و ترنم های لالایی
نمی دانم که چشمانت به استدلال که خفتند
نه با عرفان صدرایی نه با برهان سینایی
هنوزم چشم در راه عبور عشق تو مانده
هزاران چشم نور آمیز این گردون مینایی
ببین زیبای من خورشید پشت ابر پنهان است
بیا تا شب بمیرد باز ای صبح اهورایی
به جان سهروردی من غریبم تشنه نورم
رهایم کن از این بیگانه تاریک غوغایی

A glance on 2 forgotten meanings of 2 Persian words
HONAR (ART) and DANESH (KNOWLEDGE-SCIENCE)
In Persian language, 2 words Honar ( in English Art) and Danesh ( in English Knowledge and Science) have 2 meanings that I have divided these meanings into
A)general meanings
B)special meanings
General meanings( in present Farsi language) are more useful in comparison with special meanings and these second meanings have been forgotten during the history of Persian language
For me in this aeticle the special meanings of these two words are more important and notable because I think that the real identity of Honar and Danesh are their special meanings.I clarify it more
In Persian language when some one says Honar,it means for example: music, cinema,painting, or like this.Also when some one uses word Danesh ,it means for instance: literature, chemistry, psychology or
But in old times, Honar meant VIRTUE and Danesh meant WISDOM
Hafez (Iranian mystic poet) says
حافظ تو ختم کن که هنر خود عیان شود
با مدعی نزاع و محاکا چه حاجت است
In this poet he meant by Honar: Virtue
Or Saadi ( another Iranian poet) in his book Golestan, says
از نفس پرور، هنروری نیاید
He means that a human who is captured by moral vices, whims , passion and evil wills,can not fullfiles her or his potential abilities and talents.Therfore self fulfillment and self actualizing is real art and the one who can do it ,is a real artist
On the other hand, Danesh basically means Wisdom and I mean by wisdom is a combination of Intuitive and Rational abilities and capacities
Consequently the real meaning of these two important words refers to an alchemical reformation for being. So the one who can be transformed from potential to actual( from evil toward good) is real owner of Honar and Danesh
Meanings of Overcoming giant and dragon and monstor in literature and art
By:Dr VidaAhmadi(Dana Kamran)
In many literary and artistic works there is a hero who encounters with a giant or dragon or monster and she or he must fight with them and conquer the whole of them to achieve her or his goals.
These giant and monster and dragon are symbols in literature and art.In this short article,I indicate 2 general symbolic meanings of these groups of symbols and then I explain them briefly .These two main groups are as follow
The basic concepts
secondary meanings
In basic meanings there is a monster or dragon and hero destroys it.
But in secondary meanings hero faces with a person or thing that has no dragon's or monstor's appearance but indeed the inner of that enemy is like a devil dragon or monster. Therefor dragon and monstor in these cases are
A) moral vices
B) fears
C) Anxiety
D)wrong thought or belief
I want to clarify it with examples.In so many fairy tales or other kind of literary or artistic works an evil human or a fals belief or wrong thought can be the same dragon or giant that must be defeated.In the conference of the birds written by attar (Iranian mystic poet) limited attitudes of birds toward themselves and life is their monster or dragon or mephisto in faust written by goethe or stepmother and stepsisters in cinderella are other symbols for this meaning.So the shape of this enemy is not important but what is notable is the form of facing with it .this is the case
Basically in all these meanings hero conquers and dragon and monster defeated and destroyed
Also it can be another symbolic meaning for alchemy. hero kills dragon or giant and by this victory her or his dark nigredo finished and her or his Albedo and Rubedo or self developing and actulizing happen.this is the real meaning of gold in alchemy
