Unalome -hoodie

The unalome is about analyzing your actions and learning from them.

Tradition believes that the unalome represents each person’s path in life. The road can be straight, circular, or winding, and can be filled with anxiety, fear, happiness, or love ultimately symbolizing our journey to enlightenment. It teaches that the path is not always straight or even in the right direction.

The unalome further states that the journey of life is filled with suffering. Even through challenges and adversity, one has to keep moving forward and learn as you go on. It also teaches you to view yourself from an objective standpoint.

When you realize that you’re attached to a web of emotions, you realize just how clouded your mind can be. Since we are all human, we tend to commit the same mistakes over and over again. And it is not easy to abandon this cycle. But that is exactly what the spiral represents.

The spiral is our inability to let ourselves go completely. The pursuit of enlightenment is what straightens out the lines of the spiral.

The dot at the end of the unalome means reaching of your goals and finding an ultimate meaning to one’s journey.
