The
symbol for theta has ancient origins, and here is my story of how the
meanings associated with symbols have merged; to recover and refresh an old
view of the relationship between the spiritual essence
and the universe of Matter, Energy,
Space and Time.
The word 'theta' is
well known.... It is an early Greek word meaning Thought, Spirit or Life. In
modern times, in common
usage, it is understood as death.
The symbol is thus
the archetypal symbol of the duality which the soul experiences in the
'created world' through the dichotomies of 'light and dark', 'good and bad',
beauty and ugliness.... and that which is "known and thought about".
The division between the two halves
of the circle also represent the apparent dividing line between Heaven and
Earth; the horizon between the realms of spirit (above) and the physical
(below).
These polarising
opposite natures effect the spirit with the material universe, and so this
forged relationship stretches the circle of spiritual space into the
apparency of the great and limitless oval of eternity. |
