What you see here and elsewhere in the other pages for The Quest is a two-dimensional representation of a tetrahedron. A tetrahedron is a three-dimensional object, in fact the simplest three-dimensional object, four triangles forming the faces of a triangular pyramid. You are looking through the center of one face towards the vertex where the other three faces join.

When I want, as a spiritual exercise, to contemplate or visualize an object, this, or an actual three-dimensional tetrahedron, is what I use. I find that, apart from its symbolic associations, it is a good peaceful, centering object to contemplate.

To me, the tetrahedron, suggesting in three-dimensional form a four-dimensional object, symbolizes the transcendence of the earlier physical, biological and social phases of evolution which the spiritual evolution of humanity, towards the emergence of God into full being, represents.

Its faces also symbolize to me those phases of evolution: blue, for the physical; silver, for the biological; clear (the face you are looking through), for the social; and gold, the color of love, for the spiritual. Alternatively, I associate the colors with my values: blue, for life; clear, for truth; silver, for freedom; gold, again, for love.
