Beyond the myth;  A global and an eternal symbol: the rhombus or diamond, the ◊-shape

The rhombus (or lozenge, diamond, kite) shape consists of two triangles, one downward (Yin) and one upward pointed (Yang), joined together. It is found within the subsequent cultures and communities of our global world, often together with other geometrical depictions and it refers to the same notion everywhere. This geometric symbol represents the inner focus that a human being needs to hold onto his life task during his life time on Earth. That task was and remains to this very day  to reinstall balance within self between the Yin and Yang energy aspects that make up every human being and to reflect that inner balance into the outer world. When the geometric shape of the rhombus appears a significant change is installed within the consciousness of a human being; one that supersedes the limited ego-self of the human personality and that acts for the benefit of all people.

In other words: a male being needs to balance his Yang self with his inner Yin energies and a female being needs to balance her  Yin self with her Yang aspects of self.  Both sexes though and this has been the cause of great misunderstanding between the sexes, have come into this world as ego personalities (Yang aspect) that have free choice whether to add to negativity in self or positivity in self or in walking a middle path. The task of a life time is to explore the subconscious, unconscious as well as the conscious inner landscape of self, the three dimensions within which the ego personality functions as a mind construct. These dimensions hide the thought constructs upon which we have built our personalities or characters and that keep us enslaved to a version of self that hides our authentic self. In order for us to gain access again to this inner Core we have to seek for the motives upon which we act (out) in our daily existence. Both sexes however are  (this is vital) absolutely equal to each other in this process of digging up what is hidden beneath our socially stratified personalities. Both need to surrender their Yang to the Yin aspect of self. As such the reason for being on Earth for humanity is to UNVEIL the Yin-aspect of self.

All cultures, remote in time and space, have always known about this goal of mankind which is the very reason for our coming into this world and this knowledge has since been expressed through symbolism depicted on rocks, caves, buildings, artifacts etc.. World  religions have been built upon this knowledge but were they able to give us the whole pictures of ourselves? Has fear for an outward projected divine male figure prevented us from connecting to this inner treasure? And what would be the connection then between this fear for a male god and the lesser status of women within the current religions? The art of maintaining balance within once used to be a sacred duty of every human being, whether male or female and it has always been a very self-empowering tool innate in mankind…..

The very fact that this task of balancing the inner polarity within the human ego (lower triangle) is a universal human task, is the explanation for the rhombus shape appearing all over our globe and in all times. Within the present day religions some of them have survived but their true meaning has faded away from our consciousness as we have lost our ability to connect with, to “read” the energetic signatures of symbols. Symbols, esp. geometric symbols emit a frequency that can evoke within the physical expression of a human being this innate ability to re-connect with the lost knowledge of Truth of mankind. The loss of this ability is directly connected to the imbalance within our inner beings between the Yin/Yang polarity and this imbalance has thus been reflected for eons of time into our outer world. The results hereof are seen throughout our world and the times have now come that mankind will awaken from this energetic “sleep” and remembers the human task of restoring inner and outer balance, because we can!

The rhombus or diamond shape represents the ideal of a human being that has achieved this inner balance within self and has focused throughout his life on revealing or un-veiling his unconscious, veiled Yin polarity. This inner process of unveiling the authentic Self requires self-honesty and perseverance and will lead down into the crevices of humanities sub- and unconscious realms . Here will be known that Yin and Yang are a part of each other and cannot create without each other; they are one of a kind! Yang is not worth more than Yin, positive is not better than negative but accepting, embracing and embodying both in self and then acting (negative, creation) from that balance within is where the human creation adds to the best of possibilities for our world. We all have different roles to play but it is our individual responsibility (however difficult that may be) to act from inner balance. So, maintaining this inner balance cannot be achieved by taking on a new dogma that tells one to be “positive” as in this way an imbalance is created and inner clarity takes on the color of the “positive” which pushes the negative pole into unconsciousness. As the negative pole is the creative principle the act that follows will be based upon unconscious motives, f.e. the dogma that states that one has to be “positive” hides the fear of being/feeling “negative”, social fear; it becomes the fear of feeling the inner “dark” self. Then we might create from the ego will that is not based upon the clarity of the inner awareness of self and chooses self-interest as its focus. As soon as one is willing to dig up these unconscious (negative) images and hidden motives that are protected by the ego part of the Mind, there is a possibility of touching on the subconscious layers and a creative impulse can be released. That impulse may enter this world as a painting, a song, a revealing insight about the reality, an act of benevolence towards another person or any other creative image within the interior of the human being. An imbalanced ego self though functions as a tight lid that prevents higher creative impulses from surfacing.

Is the rhomboid shape just a fancy shape that appears “by incident” all over the globe? Is there no “proof” that this symbol represents the ideal of achieving a change of consciousness towards the good for all? Does this pre-monotheistic symbol refer to an inner experience of the Divine that got lost with the arrival of patriarch dogmatic religions? And if so, how can we reconnect to that innate ability, our individual human heritage? Can we allow for the possibility that there is more to our earthly being than we “think”?

First have a look at the rhomboid or diamond shapes (sometimes “kite”, lozenge) as it appears throughout our world and throughout time and then feel into the questions posed……Turn your inner eye towards the experiences within your body and first feel within and then try to locate where there is a stirring in your physical vessel when your eyes see the photographs…..Everything else will be up to yourself to follow your curiosity about your true Self; ”ask and it will be given” and  “seek and ye shalt find” (Matt. 7:7)…
