Amen.”

Earth

“When we cross a vertical with a horizontal…a tangible, measurable entity come into existence…The principle can be transferred symbolically to the crossing of any contraries such as the crossing of male and female which gives birth to an individual being…or the crossing of matter and spirit which gives birth to life itself. So the crossing is an action-principle which the square perfectly represents …So the square came to represent the earth…”
