Triangle Symbol Meanings

• Gender
• Creativity
• Harmony
• Proportion
• Ascension
• Manifestation
• Illumination
• Integration
• Subjectivity
• Culmination

This sort of versatility is what captures themes of magic, wonder and creativity in the triangle meaning. 

None of the other basic shapes offer this kind of inherent duplicity. When we turn a square on its side, the symbol meaning remains the same. Same with the circle - rolling it around, it's still a circle.

But the triangle proposes mammoth (polar even) variables in meanings when tipped top from bottom. To wit:

Symbolic Meaning of Upright vs Upside Down Triangles

Female	Male
Lunar	Solar
Yoni	Lingam
Shakti	Shakta
Passive	Active
Cave	Mountain
Down	Up
Mother	Father

These are just a few examples of how a simple shiftof this symbol can offer huge variations in meaning. I invite you to contemplate these and other similarities, as I believe pondering these solidifies the symbolic experience the triangle symbol has to share.

Any discussion about triangle meaning cannot continue without connecting it with the number three. Indeed, the triangle meaning is inseparable from the number three. 

All the mystic teachings incorporate the power of three within their folds. Three represents the union of the numbers prior to it (One and Two). Numerologicallyspeaking, if One represents force, and Two represents an opening, then Three is the birthing of true wisdom. 

Consider just a few time-honored triads proposed by esoteric triangles...

Historical and Cultural Trinities Represented by the Triangle

• Waxing, Waning, Full
• Spirit, Mind, Body
• Father, Son, Holy Ghost
• Mother, Father, Child
• Past, Present, Future
• Power, Intellect, Love
• Thought, Feeling, Emotion
• Mother, Maiden, Crone
• Love, Truth, Wisdom
• Creator, Destroyer, Sustainer
• Creation, Preservation, Destruction

The symbolic idea here, is that the vertical side represents one aspect, the horizontal side another aspect and the hypotenuse is offspring of the combining sides. The combination of one and another produces a new form of being altogether (a child, as it were). 

This, among other complexities is where the triangle symbol meaning of creation/creativity is stemmed. Each side and corner sings out a melody, and their combination in form creates a marvelous harmonic orchestration.

Frida Kahlo to Diego Rivera

Diego,

Truth is, so great, that I wouldn't like to speak, or sleep, or listen, or love. To feel myself trapped, with no fear of blood, outside time and magic, within your own fear, and your great anguish, and within the very beating of your heart. All this madness, if I asked of you, I know, in your silence, there would only be confusion. I ask you for violence, in the nonsense, and you, you give me grace, your light and your warmth. I'd like to paint you, but there are no colors, because there are so many, in my confusion, the tangible form of my great love.

Vita Sackville-West to Virginia Woolf

... I am reduced to a thing that wants Virginia. I composed a beautiful letter to you in the sleepless nightmare hours of the night, and it has all gone: I just miss you, in a quite simple desperate human way. You, with all your undumb letters, would never write so elementary a phrase as that; perhaps you wouldn't even feel it. And yet I believe you'll be sensible of a little gap. But you'd clothe it in so exquisite a phrase that it should lose a little of its reality. Whereas with me it is quite stark: I miss you even more than I could have believed; and I was prepared to miss you a good deal. So this letter is really just a squeal of pain. It is incredible how essential to me you have become. I suppose you are accustomed to people saying these things. Damn you, spoilt creature; I shant make you love me anymore by giving myself away like this--but oh my dear, I can't be clever and stand offish with you; I love you too much for that. Too truly. You have no idea how stand offish I can be with people I don't love. I have brought it to a fine art. But you have broken down my defenses. And I really resent it. 

Fight Against the Sadness, Artax.

The Never ending Story Script Page 3 of 6

CUT TO: Swamps of Sadness

Bastian:
Atreyu and Artax had searched the Silver Mountains, the Desert of Shattered Hopes, and the Crystal Towers without success. And so, there was only one chance left. To find Morla, the ancient one, the wisest being in Fantasia whos home was the Shell Mountain somewhere in the deadly Swamps of Sadness.
Atreyu jumps off Artax and pulls him along through the swamp.

Bastian:
Everyone knew that whoever let the sadness overtake him would sink into the swamp.
Atreyu pulls his horse along saying reassuring things the whole time.

Atreyu:
That's it. You’re doing fine Artax.
Suddenly Artax stops and Atreyu pulls on the reigns. Artax doesn't budge

Atreyu:
Come on Artax, what's the matter? What's wrong? Come on boy!  I understand, it's too difficult for you. (He tries pulling him in a different direction and steps into a puddle up to his waist. Suddenly he notices that Artax is sinking)

Atreyu:
Artax you're sinking! Come on turn around, you have to! Now ! Come on! Artax !
He goes closer to him and hugs him.

Atreyu:
Fight against the sadness Artax. Artax, please. You're letting the sadness of the swamps get to you. You have to try, you have to care. For me, I'm your  friend, I love you.
(Artax doesn't move and Atreyu slaps the puddle sending water flying toward the horse. He yells at him again.)
Artax, you're sinking! Come on, turn around, you have to, now! Come on! Artax! Fight against the sadness, Artax. Artax, please, you're letting the sadness of the swamps get to you. You have  to try. You have to care, for me, you're my friend, and I love you.  Artax! Stupid horse! You've gotta move or you'll die! Move, please! I won't give up! Don't quit! Artax! Please!
(then he pleads with him.)
Move please. I won't give up! Jump quick! Artax please!

FADE OUT:
FADE IN:
SPLIT VIEW: of Atreyu sitting on a log crying as he looks at the spot where Artax had once been, and of Bastian looking up from the book. Both have tears streaming down their face, Bastian blows his nose on his handkerchief. Bastian turns the page.

VIEW: of Atreyu walking through the swamps crying. He stops suddenly and we see a mountain.

Surah 18:46

Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope

an internal process: you almost seem, and often times feel, possessed by something within that is driving you toward a certain direction in life. The truth is that you're freer than ever before. You're no longer possessed by the ego, which is so deceptive that it makes the work of the soul out to be irrational, a delusion best avoided. When you're living with passion and purpose and you're driven by the energy of the universe, you cease to have a rigid timeline of your future mapped out. You no longer have much of a life plan; instead, you become life’s plan. You don't have some far-off goal to reach in life. Instead, you are life’s goal. You're content with just being in the here and now.
