PIRAMIDE
Fa parte delle figure geometriche il cui nome le è stato attribuito dai greci. Nell’antico Egitto era chiamata MR (pronunciato MER). I due segni consonantici sono ricchi di significato. Il prefisso M significa il luogo, ed R designa l’atto di salire: quindi luogo dell’ascensione. Alle sue origini la Piramide simboleggiava una scala, mezzo di tramite per la salita verso il cielo. In seguito sarà usata come tomba e il vocabolo MER finirà per designare qualsiasi tipo di sepoltura, un luogo che per gli Egizi era comunque sempre sede di gestazione e poi di resurrezione. La base della Piramide è un quadrato, che esprime refinement. On 4 8 becomes doubled, the number of Thoth, of Knowledge. Two squares form a rectangle, or quadrolungo, symbol of the organized, established and sanctified. The symbolism of the square is rich, and expresses the principle of progression. It is the geometrical figure of perfection. It corresponds to the ground, stability, substance, immutability. The Divine Mystery is expressed by 3 + 1 = 4 (3 is God, 4 the World). The four triangles that start from the square base of the pyramid with one end, the capstone (the top), or the divine. God is One in substance and three in the world. The quinary symbol is based on the association of the square and its center (4 + 1). The center is capstone. In Egypt, the triangle symbolizes the star Sirius and the zodiacal light. Also expresses the sun's rays represented by a triangular beam of rays from the sun. The Pyramid focuses therefore the heat and the divine light funnels placed the bodies in it (the mummy or initiate), so that they are reborn at the time of the merger of Osiris (4) Ra (3).
CIRCLE The circle represents perfection, completeness, the union, which did not rupture and break. Traditional symbol of what has no beginning or end, consisting of a single line whose ends rejoin to cancel one o'clock in the other. The circle represents the state of the primordial substance, impalpable, transparent, uniform and undifferentiated. In fact, the circle devoid of corners and edges symbolize harmony, thanks to the absence of opposition, as the up and down, etc.., Translates the principles of equality in undifferentiated. It is the symbol of the spirit and the immateriality of the soul. The symbolism of the circle is twofold, both magical and heavenly. The circle represents the sky as the intellectual and spiritual dimension. In fact, in its opposition to the square, the circle symbolizes the sky in relation to the earth, everything that is material. The circle as the sky is related to the perennial cycle of life. This concept is well expressed by the circle, the geometric figure which is not given to distinguish the beginning from the end, then the symbol of eternity and perfection. The circular movement, which also is in heaven is perfect, immutable, without beginning or end, no variation, this means that it can represent time, which, in turn, can be defined as a continuous succession and invariable moments of all identical to each other, and hence the concept of cyclicity. The circle also leads to a limit defined separation between the inner surface and outer endless. The symbolism of the circle is closely linked to that of the center, in relation to the primordial unity. It is the sacred place where are all of the material and spiritual energies. Of this circle, the four elements are the rays, the center, which is also the central point of the cross is the point from which rays depart but which also converge, then the symbol of the Principle from which everything originates and to which everything returns . Among primitive peoples the circle with the central point is still a representation of the sun, whose heat is associated with love and light to the beauty and truth. The circle, as the magic circle or sphere, is a well-defined time, while not a physical space. The magic circle has ancient origins. Some forms were used in ancient magia babilonese. Anche i maghi cerimoniali del medioevo e del rinascimento le utilizzavano. I cerchi magici venivano usati dai maghi nelle cerimonie per proteggersi dalle forze evocate. Nel mondo celtico, il cerchio ha una funzione e un valore magico. Il cerchio simbolizza dunque un limite magico invalicabile. Per i popoli nomadi il Santuario per la divinità era concepito circolare, come la loro tenda. Per delimitare il Santuario essi fissavano un bastone nel terreno e concepivano il bastone come asse del mondo ed ogni punto della superficie terrestre era concepito corrispondente a tale asse. Con un filo legato al bastone ruotando formavano il cerchio, trasfigurazione del cielo e del cosmo.
CERCHIO
La figura geometrica Triangle is closely related to number three. Polygon of three sides, then with three vertices. The universal symbolism of the triangle, is found in all traditions, is the primordial manifestation of the return to unity. The triangle is connected to the various symbols of the ternary. Is predominantly expressed the idea of \u200b\u200bdivinity found in the symbolism of the trinity, the idea of \u200b\u200basceticism is the man towards the divine transcendence, the Universal. So the microcosm that rises to a macrocosm and vice versa, ie the Divine protection (or heavenly powers) to humanity and nature. In the Pythagorean tradition, which manifests itself as Tetraktys, the triangle symbolizes the rise from multiple to the One. According to the particular interpretation of alchemy, in the order of the closed figures, the triangle is between the circle and the square, from which we can deduce that it represents an intermediary entity between the substance almost abstract, or spiritual and the material that falls instead under our senses. The triangle is a graphical representation of the four elements. For example with the triangle pointing up symbolizes fire and the men, with the top down instead stands for the water and the female. The balance of the two triangles is given by their union in the form of the hexagon of stars, ie the graphical representation of the Seal of Solomon composto dall’incrocio dei due triangoli inversi. In relazione al sole e al grano il triangolo è doppiamente simbolo di fecondità. Il triangolo equilatero esprime la divinità, l’armonia, la proporzione. Non può essere pienamente compreso se non in funzione dei suoi rapporti con le altre figure geometriche. Ogni figura può essere divisa in vari triangoli con linee tracciate dal centro fino agli angoli. Il triangolo è alla base della formazione della piramide. Come ogni generazione avviene attraverso la divisione, così l’uomo corrisponde ad un triangolo equilatero diviso in due, cioè ad un triangolo rettangolo. Il quale, secondo l’opinione di Platone nel Timeo, rappresenta anche la terra. La trasformazione del equilateral triangle in a loss of balance. The equilateral triangle, in the Jewish tradition, symbolizes God, which is forbidden to pronounce the name.
SQUARE
Square
geometric figure with four sides. The square structure is the squaring of matter, or regularization of what by its nature would remain formless and chaotic. The square (or rectangle as the Quadrilungo, which is a symbolic variant) is the symbol for the definition and delimitation. It represents the model of the sacred enclosure (Temple), the basis of the conjunction of the four symbolic cardinal points and the symmetry of opposite sides. If the circle is perfect, the square is right, so it has been adopted by the Pythagoreans as a symbol of justice is therefore the law, as normative interior, exterior and conceptual code. The square is the symbol of the earth, in opposition to the sky, symbolized by the circle, but is also, at another level, the symbol of the created universe (earth and sky), as opposed to non-created and the creator, so it is the antithesis of the transcendent. The square is a figure antidinamica, anchored on four sides, is the moment of detention or isolation. The square involves an idea of \u200b\u200bstagnation and solidification and stabilization. While the sliding movement is circular and round (circumference), stopping and stability are associated with angular shape, with hard lines and overhangs. The symbolism of the square of the number four that are often associated. The Pythagoreans were the tetraktys and also the square of four, that is sixteen, the basis of their doctrine. In reference to the Pythagorean Tetractys noted that the square is always considered the number of event anywhere in the universal concept of a perfect square, the Pythagorean formula 1 +2 +3 +4 = 10 is the reverse of the dial and circolatura 10 = 1 + 2 +3 +4 expresses numerically the quaternary division of the circle, namely the problem of squaring the hermetic circle as the highest conceivable human perfection. The number four is, therefore, in a way, the number of divine perfection, more generally, is the number of complete development of the event, the symbol of the world stabilized. This development takes place, starting from the center building, according to the cross in cardinal directions, in the square, is the dynamic expression of four. The event is expressed by only solidified square, whose development goes hand in hand with that of sedentary civilization. The symbol of the circle, on the other hand is the usual form of shrines at the nomadic peoples, and the square is the shape of the temples with the peoples settled. The ages of the world, life umana e i mesi lunari sono ritmati sul numero quattro, mentre le quattro fasi del movimento ciclico vengono espresse dal cerchio. Nell’antichità Platone considerava il quadrato e il cerchio come assolutamente belli in sé; secondo il grande pensatore il quattro si riferisce alla materializzazione delle idee e il tre all'idea stessa: il secondo esprime le essenze e il primo i fenomeni, l'uno lo spirito e l'altro la materia. Secondo Plutarco, i pitagorici affermavano che il quadrato riuniva la potenza di Rhea, di Afrodite, di Demetra, di Hestia e di Hera: il quadrato significa che Rhea, la madre degli dei, la fonte della durata, si manifestava attraverso le modificazioni dei quattro elementi simbolizzati da Afrodite, che era l'acqua generatrice, by Hestia, who was the fire, which was the land of Demeter and Hera was the air. The square represents the synthesis of the elements. As we said above many sacred spaces have a rectangular shape: altars, temples, towns and military camps. The square shape is adopted for defining a number of places like the public square of Athens. Often, this square is inscribed in a circle round the top of a hill, as the camps and the temples or at the bottom of a circle of hills, like Rome. According to Plutarch's version of the founding of Rome it was taught by the Etruscans as Romulus in the mysteries. We first dug a ditch round, where they were thrown bids and received the name mund (ie the universe). The mundus was known as a center linking the city to the world of spirits, as well as the umbilical cord connecting the baby to the mother. The city had a circular shape, even if Rome is called by the ancient square urbs and Plutarch himself calls Rome square, claiming that it was both a circle and a square. According to one theory the word means quadripartite square, that circle the city was divided into four parts by two arteries, where the point of intersection coincided with the mundus. In the language of ancient Egypt that the character was used for the word city was a circle with two roads that crossed drawn inside. It should be noted also that in the East old, by the Babylonians, the square was used to indicate the total of an account and expressed the idea of \u200b\u200bgetting a limit, thus corresponds to a landward limit. It seems a less ancient symbol of the circle, and perhaps it is a derivation, in any way express a complete circle and square, but the square is also used to express the idea of \u200b\u200blimit. The circle and square are the two fundamental aspects of God is the manifestation of divine unity. The circle expresses the heavenly, the square of the Earth, not as opposed to blue but as created, in the relations between the circle and the square there is a distinction and a reconciliation: the circle is the square that the sky is the land for time and eternity, but the square is inscribed in a circle that is to say the earth is dependent on the sky. The square is nothing but the perfection of the sphere on a flat earth. For Christians, Christ represents humanity, he will be regarded as the square man par excellence. The square man, with arms outstretched and feet together, indicating the four cardinal points and they are gathered in the meaning of the cross and the four dimensions that it implies. Christ puts his own human nature within the divine nature and the square man through the Incarnation, is inserted himself into the circle. In other words, humanity is connected to the deity, as time and eternity, visible invisible and earth to heaven.
POINT
Mathematically speaking, it has size and is therefore invisible, like the universal principle of which is a symbol, because it means the inner central position, linking with the symbolism of the center and the center point of the cross. The truth must therefore be sought in the interior, the initiate must return to himself. Only in his inner man is capable of finding the energy principled, whose presence felt outside rather confusingly, per speculum et in aenigmate.Il universal principle permeates every life, every event has its justification with participation in its essence and to the extent of such participation.
