20.THE NONAGRAM
Fig. 20
The Process of
Unification is Accomplished
Taken as a combination of three Triangles, this presents a manifestation of
their qualities of differentiation and of plurality, demonstrated here in
their multicolour and diverse sizes. The upright Triangle in the centre is
yellow symbolising the ONE. The two flanking Triangles constitute a duality
and are tinted with the primary colours, red and blue. In this context the
red has a dynamic quality, the blue a static one. A tension is present
between them.
Taken as a trinity they signify:
| Colour | Archetypal plane | Sentient beings |
| Yellow | Spirituality | Spirit |
| Red | Vibrations | Mind |
| Blue | Matter | Body |
What this Means for the Quality of Life
The tension of duality is released by the yellow Triangle in the Nonagram and by the white Nonagon in the centre (see Fig. 21). In the central area of the Nonagon a zone of INTEGRATION appears where the three colours overlap.
On the neutral background Triangles appear of differing qualities. In the area where the background is empty and undefined a zone appears, which on the archetypal level may be defined as PRIMA MATERIA, and on the human level as the UNCONSCIOUS.
Exactly as the doubling of the two indicates negative qualities, the threefold appearance of the three enhances beneficial effects. Being composed of three Triangles the Nonagram represents the principle of the Triangle in its highest form.
PRINCIPLES: INTEGRATION, PRIMA MATERIA, UNCONSCIOUS.
