Three intersecting rings forming the “Seed of Life”
Rings or circles are a symbol of wholeness and unity. They have no beginning and no end. They represent the infinite possibilities of creation the are contained in the void. In the study of Sacred Geometry, two intersecting circles represent the coming together of God and man. Their common area form the pointed oval or seed shape referred to as the vessica pisces from which all other geometric shapes can be generated. The fish that has been used to represent Jesus uses this shape and it has also been associated with creation, birth, and the womb.
Three intersecting circles form the basic unit known as “The Seed of Life”, and represent the Trinity. They are a very powerful representation of the creative force of the Universe, and inscribe three intersecting vessica pisces. At their center is formed a triangle with curved sides. Straight-sided triangles are shapes that represent balance, stability, and equilibrium and their three internal angles add up to no more than 360 degrees of rotation. Curved sided triangles, whether in a flat plane or in spherical geometry (like our Heliospheres) contain more than 360 degrees. This “pregnant” triangle is a lens for powerful energies from Higher Realms. Throughout history, this symbol of three intersecting circles or rings has been used to represent everything from the Holy Trinity to beer companies.
What are Borromean Rings?
In medieval Italy, the Borromi family used three intertwining rings as part of their family crest, the rings being depicted in such a way so that if one of the rings were cut, all three would separate, implying strength in unity. Through the ages, the symbol came to be known as the Borromean rings. If you simply overlap three rings together in the Borromean (or “pretzel”) shape, they will generate and concentrate creation energy. It doesn't matter if the rings are made from metal, wood, or woven grass, energy will still be emitted as soon as they are laid one on top of each other. The smaller the center opening of the three-ring arrangement, the more concentrated the energy will feel if you put your hand over this central triangle. Metals are more durable materials to make rings from and they amplify this energy more than other materials.
Curiously enough, if you tie the three overlapping rings together where they cross and pull them upwards from the center into a dome shape, the flow of energy produced is greatly increased. That is exactly how we make our Borromean Rings, except that instead of tying the rings together, they are notched, locked together, and soldered so that they stay a partially spherical surface. Artist, healer, and energy sensitive, Brad Silberberg makes each set of Borromean Rings by hand from solid metal rings inside the energy-charged environment of our 8 foot diameter Heliosphere, increasing their effectiveness.
Borromean Tubes
Brass Borromean Tubes
Our Borromean Tubes are constructed (also inside our big Heliosphere) by interlocking three metal tubes into the Borromi pattern as seen from their ends. These tubes bring the three ring energy into a new Sacred Geometry form by adding a height dimension to the largely two dimensional flat ring configuration. Borromean Tubes are very polar in nature and have "plus" and "minus" poles similar to a magnet. By placing them at your feet, you may feel energy moving upwards through your body with one pole upwards and energy moving down when the tubes are flipped over.
What do Borromean Rings and Tubes do?
Both Borromean Rings and Tubes are energy activators. They activate the latent subtle or spiritual energies of other objects like crystals, vibrational remedies, or water when they are placed under or on top of the Rings or Tubes. Each configuration (Rings and Tubes) seems to activate different energy processes in the objects placed in contact with them. When not in use, we keep Borromean Rings and Tubes in The Mesa Creative Arts Center and at home to bring in whatever helpful Earth energy or Inter-Dimensional energies they add to our environment.
We custom make our Borromean Tubes from available stock tubes, usually 1-1/2" to 2" diameter copper or brass, about 2" to 3" high. Our Borromean Rings can be made in different diameters and in additional metals. Call 724-947-3097 or email us for availability and pricing.
