Nautilus Shell Symbolism

As a symbol, the chambered nautilus is a powerful metaphor for one's spiritual evolution. From the moment we are born and begin to crawl, we continuously discover, learn and outgrow our previous thoughts and views of the world. To learn and grow requires us to think in a new or different way, essentially, to think "outside the box". Like the nautilus, once we've expanded our minds beyond the old box, we simply find ourselves in a new, bigger box, in which we continue to learn and grow. We also find that once we have mentally moved into this new box, we can never go back to the smaller ones - they simply no longer fit us. The nautilus can never stay in the same chamber because it continues to get bigger; it must build ever larger and larger chambers until the end of its life. And the spiral suggests that it can grow forever - there is never a design for a final chamber. Similarly, we also must never stop growing, learning, and expanding, for to stay in the same place would lead to a kind of spiritual death.
