Hello Everybody,

Had a scenery of Triangle above my head pointing upward during meditation.
Just a scenery but it felt like "this is the way,follow the Arrow "

would like to hear some explanation about that if possible.

thank you

Love.

Hi Delara,

The subconcious will often use imagery to communicate with the conscious. Imagery is an interpretation of energy. So, it could be your subconcious saying something like "hey, look! Something is going on here". (Such as an opening and/or influx of energy)

It might be a form of an answer to a question you've been asking (this way). You're intuition and feelings about it are going to be the best indication. :)

In sacred geometry, the triangle represents the first point of unmanifest becoming manifest. With the exception of a circle, in 2 dimensions, there needs to be at least 3 lines to contain something. The triangle is often used as a two dimensional representation of a tetrahedron, as a circle is of a sphere.

In yoga, tantra, and vedanta, the upward pointing triangle often represents Shiva or Spirit.

In Christian and Hebrew mysticism, it can represent the upper section of the Star of David or merkaba (mer=vehicle ka= light ba=body). So in this regard, it could represent the upper point of your vehicle of conscioussness/spirit/light.
Hope this helps.

The old geometrical understanding before Descartes e.g. Cusanus did not know lines construing two or threedimensional figures but the term line already contained them as a curve also in a circular form like the circle surrounding a point. The point surrounding triangles of the sri yantra obviously base on this principle.

Euklid naturally construed with lines but the staff and rod of psalm 23 ? had the flexible line and curve for creating a sacred quadrangular space by one line for example.

Appendix - Euclid's Definitions

1. A point is that which has no part.
2. A line is breadthless length.
3. The extremities of a line are points.
4. A straight line is a line which lies evenly with the points on itself.
5. A surface is that which has length and breadth only.
6. The extremities of a surface are lines.
7. A plane surface is a surface which lies evenly with the straight lines on itself.
8. A plane angle is the inclination to one another of two lines in a plane which meet one another and do not lie in a straight line.
9. And when the lines containing the angle are straight, the angle is called rectilineal.
10. When a straight line set up on a straight line makes the adjacent angles equal to one another, each of the equal angles is right, and the straight line standing on the other is called a perpendicular to that on which it stands.
11. An obtuse angle is an angle greater than a right angle.
12. An acute angle is an angle less than a right angle.
13. A boundary is that which is an extremity of anything.
14. A figure is that which is contained by any boundary or boundaries.
15. A circle is a plane figure contained by one line such that all the straight lines falling upon it from one point among those lying within the figure are equal to one another;
16. And the point is called the centre of the circle.
17. A diameter of the circle is any straight line drawn through the centre and terminated in both directions by the circumference of the circle, and such a straight line also bisects the circle.
18. A semicircle is the figure contained by the diameter and the circumference cut off by it. And the centre of the semicircle is the same as that of the circle.
19. Rectilineal figures are those which are contained by straight lines, trilateral figures being those contained by three, quadrilateral those contained by four, and multilateral those contained by more than four straight lines.
20. Of trilateral figures, an equilateral triangle is that which has its three sides equal, an isosceles triangle that which has two of its sides alone equal, and a scalene triangle that which has its three sides unequal.
21. Further, of trilateral figures, a right-angled triangle is that which has a right angle, an obtuse-angled triangle that which has an obtuse angle, and an acute-angled triangle that which has its three angles acute.
22. Of quadrilateral figures, a square is that which is both equilateral and right-angled; an oblong that which is right-angled but not equilateral; a rhombus that which is equilateral but not right-angled; and a rhomboid that which has its opposite sides and angles equal to one another but is neither equilateral nor right-angled. And let quadrilaterals other than these be called trapezia.
23. Parallel straight lines are straight lines which, being in the same plane and being produced indefinitely in both directions, do not meet one another in either direction.

Psalm 23
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2     He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3     he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
    for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
    through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
    for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.

Hi Axel,

Interesting. Can you clarify how Euclid relates to Psalm 23? Do you have any links or sources for more information?
