Simple Symbol Meaning

This page on simple symbol meaning is an attempt to lay a foundation for very basic visual symbols, like circles, triangles, squares, etc.

For example, if we look at the triskelion, we can visually whittle down this motif to a triangle shape. Therefore, by contemplating the triangle, we gather more insight into the message of the triskelion (as well as other symbolism drawing on the power of three).

Very basic shapes , those symbols humankind first scrawled on cave walls, or wrote in the sky with imaginary air pens, are the first rung on the ascending ladder of creative expression.

It's my contention that by familiarizing ourselves with the very basic symbols, we get our prime symbolic language skills, and crack open our understanding into profound insight into much more intricate symbolism.

We teach our children basic shapes to help them conceptualize the shape of their world. In much the same way, pondering symbol meaning of basic shapes helps us conceptualize varying degrees of our universe.

Simple symbols can serve as touchstones. Foundations that can ultimately launch us into astounding perceptions.

When we begin to see our world in simple shapes, our reality begins to simplify, and awareness comes about in a natural flow. Observing in terms of reduction (into simple squares, circles, etc) eliminates superfluous judgment.

The symbol meanings featured on this portal page are deceptively simple. It is their simplicity that offers magic.

Don't be caught in the deceptive ruse of the two-dimensional, rudimentary appearances. Rather, let the potential of these basic shapes spill out into your awareness. Playing with these shapes (just as our children do in elementary learning) will cause multi-dimensional understanding.
