The Sanskrit symbol Om. Sanskrit is an ancient written language of
India. Here is my interpretation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om

1) The dot on top is God. Social influence. It is called Turiya. Most of
the time Turiya is referred to as collective consciousness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turiya

2) The three connected lines on the bottom are conceptual influences.
Dreaming, waking and sleeping. In order, these are called: Swapna,
Jagrat, and Sushupti. Most of the the time these are referred to as
different kinds of consciousness.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swapna_(philosophy)

3) The curled line separating (1) and (2) is material influence. This is
called Maya. Most of the time Maya is referred too as illusion.

4) Within social influence, materialism is a matter of pick and choose.

5) With only conceptual influence, materialism is from above.

6) The rise to social influence is moksha/nirvana.

7) The Buddha's rise involves The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Path.

8) I put things together for my rise. See my meditation mantra on my
website.

9) Before rising is called samsara/duhkha.
