The circle represents the Sun, from whence all life giving energy comes. The circle also symbolizes perfection, the ideal toward which humans continually strive, and even as we may never achieve it, it is through this pursuit of perfection that each individual achieves a greater level of excellence and fulfillment. The energy radiating outward from the sun includes the energy we perceive optically as visible light, light that when refracted through a prism breaks up into the hues of the rainbow. The spiraling pattern of the colors spinning outward into space represents how gravity shapes and influences the form and movement of all bodies throughout the universe. We are the universe made manifest, and through our thoughts the universe becomes aware of itself.
