As the new Phoenix accumulates all the knowledge obtained from its origins, a new cycle of inspiration begins. After 3 days, from its own ashes, a new Phoenix emerges and, when it is strong enough, it takes the nest to Heliopolis, in Egypt, and places it in the Temple of the SunвЂќ. There it stands and, singing the most sublime of its melodies, it expires. Another symbol linked to the Phoenix is вЂ‹вЂ‹that of hope, which represents a value that must never die in man.ДЄccording to Ovid, вЂњwhen the Phoenix sees its end coming, it builds a special nest with oak branches and fills it with cinnamon, tuberose and myrrh, on top of a palm tree. In ancient Egyptian mythology, the Phoenix represented the Sun, which dies at night and is reborn in the morning.

The early Christians, influenced by the Hellenic cults, made this unique mythical creature a living symbol of immortality and resurrection. The myth of the Phoenix bird spread widely among the Greeks, who gave it the name Phoenicoperus (which means red wings), an appellation that spread throughout Roman Europe. There is only one single bird, whose form of reproduction is precisely rebirth, of which it is also a symbol. Thus, every 100, 500, 540 (and in some legends, even 1,461 or 12,994 years), he builds a funeral pyre in his own nest, fills it with incense and aromatic plants, and at the same time he sings the most beautiful of all his songs. His life span varies according to the adaptation of the myth and the culture in question. Throughout his many lives of him, his mission of him is to transmit the knowledge that he has treasured since its origin at the foot of the Tree of Good and Evil, and to serve as inspiration in his work of him to seekers of knowledge, both artists and scientists. Immortality was the prize for his fidelity to the divine precept, along with other qualities such as knowledge, the healing capacity of his tears, or his incredible strength. Some fables later place him in Arabia, where he lived near a well of fresh water and bathed every day singing a melody so beautiful that it made the Sun God stop his car to listen to it. When Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise, a spark from the fiery sword of a Cherub fell on the nest, and the bird instantly burned.Д«ut, from the flames themselves, a new bird emerged, which was the Phoenix, with unmatched plumage, scarlet wings and a golden body. There, next to the first rose, a bird was born, with beautiful plumage and an incomparable song, and whose principles made him the only being who did not want to taste the fruits of the Tree. It is said that in the original Eden, under the Tree of Good and Evil, a rose bush flourished. What the origin of the Phoenix birdвЂ™s myth is Each detail, nuance and symbol that outlines this myth undoubtedly offers a good exercise to reflect on to understand the resilience process and how it should continue after an adverse situation. It is there that, in turn, the image that is known today about resilience is shaped. However, it should be remembered that it is in Ancient Egypt where the first cultural and religious testimonies appear around this figure. In China, for example, the Phoenix or Feng Huang symbolizes not only the highest virtue, power or prosperity, but also represents yin and yang, that duality that makes up everything in the universe. Likewise, it is interesting to know that early references to their mythology can be found both in Arabic poetry, as in Greco-Roman culture and even in much of the historical legacy of the East. It was, in essence, one of the most powerful archetypes for Carl Jung, a renowned psychoanalyst, because his fire contained both creation and destruction, life and death. It was said of him that his tears were healing, that he had great physical endurance, control over fire, and infinite wisdom. At some point, all the legendary cultures and roots of countries around the planet refer to the Phoenix, even with other names. Unlike others, which are specific to some nations or religions, this one is almost global. On the other hand, the myth of the Phoenix is вЂ‹вЂ‹one of the best known in all cultures. In any case, it is a known story, but it is also true that little is known about its origin. Those who do not know the story have surely heard the myth or saying of вЂњhe was reborn as the PhoenixвЂќ. Most have ever heard the myth of that strange bird, made of fire and with a striking figure, which is reborn from its own ashes after having disappeared. Few people are currently unaware of the story of the Phoenix.
