The symbolism of the sphere shape

The shape of the sphere has many symbolic meanings in different cultures and contexts. In general, the sphere symbolizes wholeness, perfection and harmony. Its round shape suggests continuity, eternal movement and cyclicality, making it a symbol of timelessness and eternity. The sphere also represents unity and balance, as each point is equidistant from the center.

In many cultures and philosophical traditions, the sphere has been used to symbolize the soul or spirit. The sphere can be seen to reflect the sacred and limitless nature of the soul. Its symmetrical shape reflects the eternal existence of the soul.

The spherical shape of the crystals is also believed to radiate energy evenly in all directions. This form is thought to act as a time-opening window into the past or future, moving energy through time and offering a glimpse of what is to come or what has been. Looking into the crystal ball has long been one way to utilize this symbolism and to seek contact with higher dimensions or to get intuitive information about the past or the future.
