Tripod

Nostradamus used a tripod in his works to hold the bowl for his seeing into the future a bowl filled with a liquid that is stared into to induce a trance.

I hope that by now you can get the idea of how these items are associated as weapons.

At least a tripod is something that you can pick up and throw at somebody, but seriously it is a tool of the temple and an important concept as well for stability and balance.

But here the connotations go much deeper than the basic idea of placing a pot or container on an item that has three legs.

As mentioned above the union of the two creates the stability within to support the balance.

It is the essential stability of a trinity that is demonstrated here and you see it all around if you look for it. 

The triad and the combinations of triads are used consistently for spiritual connotations and also our basics for social structure.

The white picket fence dream consists of finding a partner settling down and having children or the couple with the kid; the trinity.

But there are multitude of trinities that we ignore everyday.

You could say that you are in a constant triadic situation because no matter what you are doing it is one thing at a time.

Then you say "Well I'm watching television with a cough drop in my mouth having my coffee and clipping my nails." So you think you're actually doing the four things at the

same time but what you're actually doing is splitting you attention units into sections to partially attend to something while doing something else's as well.

This thing called attention units could be seen like a cable that is really think and made up of millions of smaller cables and when your entire attention is focused on a single thing

most of the cables are going in the same direction.

When a person reads they will often have another common habit associated with the fact they are reading like cradling the chin or placing the finger to the side of the face or

having a cup of tea or having a smoke, depending on the reading environment and thus splitting their attention in a habitual nature by decision of what feels comfortable.

The tripod as a concept actually expanses quite an infinite realm of thought relationships and I believe that there is wisdom in considering the relations in anyway that you can.
