I am, is sacred geometry.

ShantiMayi discovered that the letters I and A and M, ironically spell out sacred geometry in a literal sense.
The most amazing thing in this discovery is that the letters are not from an ancient script, such as Sanskrit or Hebrew. It is Roman letters which bring out the hexagram and the double triangle, six pointed star. The Roman script is relatively modern compared to the ancient scripts. However, it is not the script itself that is so mystifying as it is what this sacred symbol contains. This I am is shimmering like a diamond within the infinite polyhedral hexagram. It is the alpha and omega of the dream-like illusion. I am, the pure concept of being and the door way to understanding ones Self as one is and is not. I am the very essence of the perceptive universe. Who am I, is the great quest-(ion). I am is the only answer.
I am, is the touchstone. Touch * "That" in silence and the alchemical process is mastered.
ShantiMayi has incorporated the double triangle star in the Mandala Seal of her ashram. To understand more of the symbolism of the mandala star click here for the explanation on this website. There may be follow-up articles on the symbolism of this star and other sacred geometrical configurations to come.
* "That" is "Tat " in Sanskrit and signifies the essential nature of all.
