The three entities represented in the Star of David are said to comprise external and internal dimensions. A person’s soul is said to connect to the Creator through the strict study and observance of the Torah’s teachings. In the Jewish religion, the triangles represent the connection between the Creator, humans, and the Torah. It is a six-pointed star made from two interlocking equilateral triangles with one pointing up and the other one down.
The Star of David is often referred to as the sacred geometry triangle in some cultures. Other cultures interpret the Tibetan Knot as the union between compassion, wisdom, and practice. Some religions believed that the knot signified the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth.
The sacred significance of the Eternal Knot involves its representation of time, a person’s spiritual path, and divine consciousness (or the Omnipresent Buddha). Nigerian traditional arts and crafts Image:, UGC Upon close observation, one sees that the knot has neither a beginning nor an end. The shape involves an elaborate design of intertwined and looped lines that cross in and out of each other at 90-degree angles. It also bears striking similarities with the Celtic Knot associated with prehistoric Celts. While the knot is a typical Buddhist element, it is also found in ancient Chinese culture and art. The other seven symbols are the treasure Vase, Victory Banner, Pair of Golden Fish, Parasol, Lotus, and Conch Shell. It is one of the ‘Eight Auspicious Symbols’ in Buddhism. The Eternal Knot is also known as the Endless Knot or Tibetan Knot. Without this shape, all other sacred geometry in nature would not exist. The Vesica Pisces is widely regarded as the joining of the physical and spiritual realms. By thinking of one circle as the energy source, the second circle would then depict the creation of something new. Other spiritual viewpoints associate the circles as the source energy (God) and the Vesica Pisces as creation. What appears in the circle, and how the image as a whole is constructed is symbolic of the state of the psyche and the individual’s progress in their individuation process.The meaning of art for the development of Nigeria Image:, UGC In this context, the mandala as an archetype in its own standing is seen as representative of wholeness. In the Jungian psychological worldview, there is an archetypal pattern at play known as the individuation process – the individual’s blueprinted design to undergo a specific pattern of development throughout their lifetime. As Jung understood the psyche to be essentially religious by nature, we can see a perfect example of the macrocosm of the metaphysical reflected in the microcosm of the human : a new sacred geometry, in some sense. Through time, Jung came to understand the mandala as a symbol for what he went on to call the Self- the wholeness of the personality. Images residing in the collective unconscious – a transpersonal layer of consciousness that contains all of the events of existence since the beginning of time. Over many years, Jung and his patients created thousands of mandala drawings, which he claimed were archetypal Widely recognised in the modern era for developing the concepts of introversion and extraversion through personality typing, Jung’s most influential work focuses on understanding the nature of consciousness and the unconscious. These explorations eventually led to the pioneering work of Swiss psychiatrist Dr Carl G Jung in the early 1900s. A similar movement also occurred in the field of science applied to understanding the laws of nature, via an exploration of the human psyche. Here, we can identify a parallel in western Europe’s art history, in which took place a growing movement away from the creation of religious studies towards the more secular human experience. The mandala has not remained solely in the field of metaphysics as a representation of unknown mysteries, or as an attempt to symbolise concepts of a creative intelligence : for many it has become a device for studying personal psychology.
