This graphic image is known to Jay Moxham as 'The Cursor Of Perhaps'. This is a strange name that comes from its reoccurring appearance within the many pages of inspired writings and drawings in the Japetus journals - 100 x 300 page exercise books. It represents the four elements all working together as a whole, held in orbit within the infinite universe, actively being made manifest into the world through consciousness.

The four points are light-jets of energy... glowing feathers... the movement of energy... ripping through spacetime... holding it at bay... as a gateway... to the infinity of the universe and conscious imagination.

It represents the four quadrants, the four directions, north, south, east and west, the four spheres of experience, the four dimensions, impacted by our inner world of awareness, with consciousness at its core, radiating out into the world of being via the elements.

The logo is also a 'rent in the fabric' of time/space - a portal torn open by the forces of creation to bring forth consciousness into the spaces of the four elemental dimensions. (rent: verb - the past tense and past participle of 'rend')

It is called a 'Cursor' because, like a computer cursor, it tends to appear as a precursor or icon 'doodle' that indicates the imminent presence of inspired writings or pictures by Jay over the decades creating this catalogue. The 'Perhaps' is representative of the infinite possibilities accessible to us when we open up to the multitude of ideas and elements available and ready to be synthesised with the imagination from deeper consciousness and awareness into creative forms.

I want to start with a recent reference I only just found in 2023 while watching a documentary on the James Webb Space Telescope and in the show one of the final images was this and I was quite taken aback.

It also looks a little like something from early radio broadcasting...

...and even a bit like an old fashioned, hand-made, lo-tech radio antenna... again invoking the concept of broadcasting/receiving/transmitting...

...and there is a resemblance to a kite as well (often the symbol for our 'inner self' "Primitive peoples attached religious meanings to kites. They viewed them as symbols of an external soul; as things closely connected with gods and heroes. They also felt that they were a means of contacting the heavenly regions"), especially when you look at the second sketch by Jay at the bottom of this page with the 'energy tail' streaming down. The ribbon tied in bows in the tail look a bit like the nervous system... tagging along after the brain... stabilising it in 'flight'.

It is interesting where the symbolic shape shows up... this is looking up at the inside roof of the tower in Pershore Abbey in Horseshoed, England. Obviously, to Christians, a symbol for the gateway to the heavens.

"The Diamond Symbol meaning from a Native American Indian perspective includes several aspects. The diamond motif is seen in butterfly symbolism, where it represents the concept of transformation. The diamond symbol is also seen from the Osage Native American Indians as a representation of the earth. It will have an equidistant cross in the centre indicating the importance of the four cardinal winds/directions."

It was an invocative tool meaning "higher consciousness is present". Stanley Kubrick used this symbol in the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey as the only representation of 'aliens'. Double sided tetrahedrons. Flying in formation guiding Dave Bowman through hyperspace.

The Cursor of Perhaps originally appeared in its raw form as a pen-line graphic by Jay looking more like these scans below... lifted directly from the Japetus journals.

 

Here is a variation I found called the 'Pre-cursor of Perhaps' because this symbol appears when inspired creativity is present.
