Deeper Meanings

A deeper study into the meanings of the type of monuments we find in cemeteries reveals this interesting factoid from the pages of a Victorian book about the meaning of ancient symbols:
The obelisk represents the sacred male energy coming from heaven, connecting with the sacred female receptive energy of the earth. Where they meet is sacred. Life begins at that place, or perhaps in some belief systems, life returns there to begin again. The top of the obelisk points toward heaven, beginning the cycle of life all over again.
I think I can live with that.
