AION
Infinity
On
all the paths leading from my childhood up until today - in
my observations of, encounters with and being in nature, as
well as on journeys to a variety of countries and cultures - I
found ten recurring, archaic symbols which
unite all cultures and religions and span all ages.
They
take the form of simple, reduced symbols - "primal geometry" - which
unite everything in accordance with natural law. Through
our senses, every person is able to perceive, see or experience the
forms and occurrences of these symbols daily.
- The point, uniqueness, represents a pebble as well as a planet, humanity and every single living being.
- The line depicts the path, horizon or the growth of a plant.
- The spiral is seen in the movement of water; we also find it in whirlwinds and on ancient shells.
- Three stars reveal the infinity of the cosmos;
- while the lightening bolt represents energy.
- The square stands for a house, physical being.
- The parallel lines illustrate repetition,
- and the cross joins extremes.
- The triangle is often symbolic for Spirit; it also portrays a mountain.
- The circle ultimately implies protection for all living beings, religions and human cultures.
