The seven-fold labyrinth – The Cosmic Riddle
This
labyrinth is an ancient symbol
and can be found in many places in the world.
Spiritually, this labyrinth symbols the growth and development of men.
The seven stages of the labyrinth represent the stages in spiritual development
as well as the 7 chakras and energetic centers of our bodies.
What is the riddle?
The ancient riddle
is actually – "How to get out of this labyrinth?"
When we take the key to creating the labyrinth and turn it inside out and outside
in (see below this paragraph) - we find wholeness. This is the only way to get
out of the labyrinth.
The square with a perfect circle inside and a dot in the center is the
symbol of gold in Alchemy. This symbol is actually
the basis for all geometry as it contains all the basic shapes. It also stands
for the highest spiritual level a man can achieve.
The key to the labyrinth turned inside out
The symbol is the way to create the
Vesica pisces
– the beginning of the creation, the basis for the universe. Continuation
of this creates the
Seed of life,
then the
Flower of
life and on to all that was created and exists. Once a person reaches this
spiritual level he is one with the universe.
From the key
of the labyrinth to the Vesica Pisces to the Seed of life
I express this idea in many of my works such as the
Mobius ring,
The
Gordian knot
and
God's word
pendants showing the idea of turning the inside out and outside in and even
the
Four
winds ring carrying the phrase "
The further one travels the less
one knows" – because the truth is inside us.
