as a Special Person Symbol.....
HI ...
My Name is AHLEC -- and, in this image of ME,
I'm "happy" -- as each Special Person should be!
One of my tasks is to let people know
Just how "special" YOU are ----- (wherever WE go).

The little "rhyme", above, is a "teaching-learning tool".
It is used to
introduce "children" (of all ages) to the
concept that -- relative to one's "creative potential"..
every person in the world is unique ----- and, that every person is, therefore, "special".
However, rather than emphasizing superficial "differences"
--
(by means
of which people separate themselves from others) --
AHLEC demonstrates
symbolically that -- in essence --
all "persons" are the same.
On the surface, AHLEC may "appear" to be a fairlyYET -----
IF turned upside-down, this "little cube" will "frown".
and if REALLY "angry"...
That simple (?) characteristic lets AHLEC help a person to
say -- non-verbally --
to the world-at-large:
"Look at ME ! ----- I am a Special Person !! (just like you )"
"I can be happy; or, I can be sad ----- (just like you)"
"I can be glad; or, I can be mad ----- (just like you)"
[ Children are, often, quite surprised to discover that parents --
teachers --
and other adults -- are Special Persons too. ]
While AHLEC --
as a
Special Person Symbol -- is simple
enough to delight children (of all ages),
this art-form is also complex enough
to enchant (and challenge) even the most sophisticated,
thoughtful, adult -----
because AHLEC effectively symbolizes the "essence" of Creative Man.
Specifically -----
AHLEC's "shape" consists of nine basic "lines",
symbolizing
nine basic "commonalities of specialness" to be found in
every
human being ---- in spite of individual "differences".
Brought together in a certain manner, these nine lines
form
a 2-dimensional image of a
3-dimensional object ----- (a "cube").
Six "outside lines"
symbolize six basic, "universal", elements which define the "essence"
of each (and EVERY)
special person's "creative potential".
These are:
|
Three more "commonalities of specialness" complete the "cube" -----
these are the three "internal lines" which symbolize:
|
the quality of life ( based on the concept of "free will" ).
|
Now ----- add the "artist's touch" to this symbolic art form and a
delightful little
"character" emerges -----with a unique set of attributes
which includes the
ability to "fly" -- as every Special Person
has the power to do (mentally).
( Is this AHLEC ??? )
( of course !!!!! )
One thing that needs to be said at this point concerns AHLEC's five "colors"
(not counting black and white, of course).
In creating AHLEC, it was determined there are (at least) FIVE, positive human values
which seem to be "appreciated" by Special Persons, worldwide.
(In English) these are:
Thoughtfulness -- Sharing -- Truthfulness -- Understanding -- and Respect
AHLEC's colors, which symbolize these values in the same order, are:
Blue -- Red -- Purple -- Yellow -- and Green
NOW ----- IF one takes the first letter of each of the "values", set forth above -----
T S T U R (as most will agree) spells "nothing".
But -- if one will work with these values a bit ----- the same letters can be made to spell
![]()
(which spells "something" -- Very Special -- indeed).
Further -- being a little "magician" --
AHLEC has converted these
"values" into "magic pennies"
which can be used to form a "spirit of
friendliness". And it is this "spirit" which
AHLEC is charged to
carry forth to every Special Person
-- wherever he or she may be.
