The cross within a circle is an ancient symbol that you will find used by many ancient cultures and religions even to this very day.
You will find many adaptations of this cross such as the Celtic cross,
solar cross
and The Cross of Jerusalem.
The most simple explanation would be that it is an ancient Gnostic symbol representing both the upper and lower halves of our world. The seen and unseen. The material and spiritual world.
The upper half, or as above would represent the invisible spiritual world which is derived both ancient and modern conceptions of heaven and the empyrean. It can also be construed as the soul and or lord.
The lower half, or so below represents the aspects of the visible world of creation such as the human who is composed of various chemical matters from the as above planetary spheres.
The point in the middle of the two halves united in the cross represents spirit and matter becoming one. The soul in union with a physical human thus creating a spiritual being.
This is also symbolized by the circle with the dot in the middle which is is sometimes called the circumpunct.
Also notice that both the lower and upper half are divided. The lower half divided, which signifies the division of Matter into both visible and invisible, animate and inanimate, organic and inorganic ; and the upper half divided, which represents Spirit divided into the (psychically) visible and invisible (higher) planes.
All these divisions united in one figure give us the Cross within the Circle or Sphere.
It indicates symbolically the inclusion of all life, animate and inanimate, within what we call Deity also the Crucifixion of the Divine Spirit of God upon Matter, both visible and invisible.
The goal for anyone who wishes to be initiated into the Gnostic secret mysteries is to unite the upper half being that of your soul and or lord representing the spiritual world with that of our physical body representing the material world.
Thus becoming a spiritual human who operates in the material world and is not ruled by matter and or beastly appetites.
The conqueror of that Old Dragon and Prince of the “world.”
A divine human like Christ who is in control of his thoughts, actions and life.

Here’s an old video of the Black Irish of Montserrat in the Caribbean. Many of the Irish were forcibly deported when the English had conquered Ireland. The military campaign was led by the famous military leader known as Oliver Cromwell who was the Lord Protector of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland and Ireland for Henry VIII.
It was at this time that all royal and Catholic owned land was confiscated and given to English and Scottish settlers. Many of the Old Irish and Catholic who had opposed English rule and or were a threat were either massacred and or as in this case, they were forcibly moved to a faraway island.

In Rosicrucian concepts the WORD represented by the dot or point, is the initial existent condition in CHAOS.
It is known variously as the WORD, VERBUM or LOGOS, THE CREATIVE POWER or GREAT CENTRAL FLAME.
In other aspects it is known under pseudonyms which need not here concern us.
As the ABSOLUTE it IS the Source of heat, light, sound, power FORCE.
It is the motif of the Masonic motto, ”Ordo ab Chao” and the Rosicrucian motto, ”Omnia ab uno’—All from ONE.

God’s fingerprint is often referred to as the “Golden Ratio” (1.618) and is the 21st letter of the Greek alphabet, PHI [φ] that
appears all throughout nature of our world and the universe. It is the universal law of the divine number that ensures harmonious interrelations among all life, and the only number which both ‘adds and multiplies simultaneously.’ The golden ratio or phi is also called by other names such as the Fibonacci numbers, golden mean, divine mean, golden spiral, divine proportion or golden section.
The golden ratio simply appears to be the main source code that we can apply to all intelligent divine creation and is also the number assigned to man. It can be applied to almost all things in our world ranging from the bee honeycomb, nautilus shells, water, roses, sunflowers, snowflakes, music, architecture, art, the planets, galaxy, animals, symbol of Man, the microcosm, and DNA.
In the occult sciences the golden ratio has been known since the time of Greek master mathematician Pythagoras in the 5th and 6th centuries BC. Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans played their role as pioneers in their development of mathematics and for the application of mathematics to the concept of order (Livio,2002). They discovered that the golden ratio is symbolized by the ratios of line segments in a pentagram which is a five-pointed star drawn in one line, or a pentacle is the same star within a circle which both equal PHI.
