The symbol of the cross is seen in two parts bringing in a third:

1. The vertical portion is the symbol of spirit- descending to earth from above. It is the God force of light & love- wisdom.

2. The horizontal section is matter (or man in physical form).

3. At the intersection of the two is man, in the physical.meeting spirit.

For the message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

          1 Corinthians 1: 18
