There is something about symbols that absolutely intrigues me… I’m not sure if it is about the wide variety of shapes and curvatures that they may have. Perhaps it is in the wisdom traditions that so many of them come from. Maybe it is in the archetypal patterns that can emerge from each of their representations. Or possibly it is in the semiotic interpretations that each of us may either individually possess or that taps into a unifying theme within the collective unconscious.
Perhaps it is in the totality of each of these aspects that I am riveted by looking at and investigating symbols of many different forms and types. I feel that to engage in understanding as many of these forms as possible, one directly engages with the forms and architectures of the universe. There is a certain multiplicity and diversity that gives me a glimpse into the wider gestalt of symbolic meanings that taps into some component of the collective unconscious. However, as in any moment of awakening that any human being is fortunate to have, all these forms and meanings converge into the ONENESS of being. To grasp that each of these symbols is a wider manifestation of the Divinity of life itself adds to the amazement and wonder of studying them. This also taps into a holographic nature of reality where each and every symbol can emerge at any place and any time as an indicator of the Totality that consciousness emerges into.
Learning about the library of symbols is likely an activity that can engage an individual throughout a full lifetime. At the same time, cherishing the journey, symbol by symbol, is incredibly fulfilling as a means of tapping into the Soul of God and in drinking the nectar of this eternal wisdom source.
