the pyramid inside a sphere symbolizes a fertilized egg with each corresponding side to represent the 5 senses of the developing starling. The Winnower is The Gardener's rival and vice versa. Perhaps you are correct in assuming that those materials represent The Gardener inside The Traveler but The Winnower is also inside The Traveler. In this case the pyramid is flipped upside down... this reciprocates depending on whoever's side you choose.... If you choose to be neutral then you get to see the complete shape that now has 8 sides +1 totalling 9.... they share and interact with each other through the 9th membrane. The 9th membrane is the prize at stake that The Gardener and The Winnower are fighting for: control of our solar system which has 9 stars/lives: sun, mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune and pluto... that's 10 tho...? back in the day, the sun and pluto were used as phase shifters and represent life (sun) and death (pluto). Pluto is what every star becomes when they burn out and is also what every egg resembles unless it is fertilized and younstar is born! yayaya blah blah blah lol I think that nowadays pluto is not even qualified to being a planet anymore! I still regard each planet in our solar system as snapshots of the nine life cycle phases of our sun. traveling back in time through space would be like flying in the direction towards the sun; traveling forwards in time would be like flying in the direction away from the sun; or vice versa? the choice is up to you 🙂
