Zosimos of Panopolis - The Mushaf as-suwar - 5th Book of Magnesia picture 6

Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
The text to this describes the V as a 'book of gold', but he is holding it up to the red sun. There are two options here therefore the V sign or the set square. The former is the most probable as it is a V whereas the set square symbol is usually an inverted V
Here the red is probably describing the two spiritual routes - the red route and the blue route
There is more symbolism in this picture than that shown but it is complex enough!
