"Symbolism is the voice and language of Dust" ~cizz
Isa. 29:4
To cast dust on the head has been used as a sign of mourning, to sit or lay in the dust is an expression of extreme affliction, while the idiom to 'lick the dust' is a sign of degrading submission. Hence, such expressions as "He raises up the poor out of the dust," i.e. out of their state of lowliness. To throw dust at another is the expression of loathing or abhorrence, it was also used as a form of cursing the individual. Throwing dust in the air and on a person was a cry and demand for justice and retribution. In ancestral worship it was a symbol of calling on and reawakening the ancestors and Elders to gain their aid and help. To shake off the dust from one's feet against another is to renounce all future associations with them.
As the prima materia or first matter which is referred to in Hermetic and Alchemical lore, it is the initial "building block" from which all matter is formed. Dust is the first and most subtle form of matter our Spirit clothes itself with when entering the material realm and the last form of matter our Spirit divests itself of when leaving the material realm, it is the final physical barrier which our Spirit will cross in its ascent into the Spiritual dimension. Dust was the smallest of the smallest particle that the human eye could sense in the ancient of days, in this day the human eye has sensed and seen deeper into the dust of its self, we have seen the images of our DNA.for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return ~Gensis 3
The word dust is translated from `aphar which is mortar, rubbish or debris, this would be in our day, Junk DNA.
