Type of Spiritual Experience
Background

The symbolism used in this symbol is universal, it is made more extraordinary by the fact it is also a symbol used in Shaivism. It represents a temple or religious centre of some sort and porch. It is not a ‘mirror’
It meaning is based on the cosmic egg. At the centre is the Ultimate Intelligence. Surrounding it are the levels and layers. The entry way into the temple is a form of bridge – the bridge from the mundane world to the spiritual world – a symbolic ‘tunnel’.
So the symbol in the Picts system is the sign for a place where one can get spiritual experiences. The brochs also have this shape, as such it may be the sign for a broch
[The symbol is occasionally accompanied by a ‘comb’. The comb is a symbol of the spine and the source of kundalini energy. The combination could thus be interpreted as a temple/broch in which it is possible to use kundalini energy as a means of obtaining enlightenment’.]
