MY LOGO

Before Creation there is a formless Energy. I illustrate it with the circle. Lao Tzu describes in the Tao Te Ching: “There is something indefinite, older than the earth and the sky. Silent and empty, unique and immutable, it is everywhere all the time. It is said that from it the world was born. I do not know its name, so I call it Tao” ( verse xxv). “It is not named…  The beginning of earth and sky has no name, and is the mother of myriad of things” ( verse I). “The Tao is an empty vessel, so it cannot be emptied. She is the boundless source of everything… The Tao is invisible, yet always there. Its origin is unknown, yet it gives birth to all things” ( verse iv).

The All comprehends the One, the Absolute Consciousness, the “Creator”. I illustrate it with a dot in the center of the Circle.

The One gives birth to the Two with the intention of expressing itself outwardly, through self-manifestation. I depict it with an S inside the circle, dividing the circle into two parts, the white and the black, the Light and the Dark, the Yin and the Yang. This duality allows the One to have the experience of Itself.

The One and the Two have been deliberately depicted here by the symbol of the Infinite (∞) in order to convey the concept of the Indescribable. In between the One and the Two is a high level of Energy, still unformed and pure. The flow begins at this stage, it’s made available for any harmonious and miraculous manifestation. This is the precise point which can be approached through open-qigong type practices.

This Primordial Energy, Qi (Chi), flows in a spiralling downward motion through the intangible vacuum created by the separation and thus the antagonistic friction of Yin and Yang. I illustrate it with the colour yellow, as a symbol of Light.

The Two gives birth to the Three with the awareness of the co-existence of Light (Yang) in Darkness, and of Darkness (Yin) in Light.

In verse xxviii of Tao Te Qing, Lao Tzu says : “He who knows his masculine nature, but follows the feminine rhythm, becomes a channel of the Universe. He has everlasting grace like a newborn baby. He who knows the phenomenal, but follows the unseen becomes the measure of the world, grace does not leave him and he returns to the eternal.”

Three gives birth to ” a myriad of things “. The Three is in the logo, although not visible, it is at the center of the Spiral where expansion is being generated and where Creation is preparing to give form to its infinite expressions. 

The section, located under the Spiral, expresses two Traditions, the Western and the Eastern.

In the West: the two snakes facing each other on the Hermes’ Caduceus, which became a symbol of the medical world, symbolize the balance of the two competing forces and the concept of Unity within opposition. Their shape is similar to that of the D.N.A., whose information comes directly from the Tao as the fundamental genes for life!

In the East, according to the Chinese concept of Energy, the human body is divided into three main centres, called Dantian. I illustrate them with the three balls of light, which are embraced by the two serpents.

The energy of the One continues to flow into the central column, feeding all the centers and the body with the primοrdial Energy of Creation.
