Emblem 19: A sphere is depicted with longitudinal and latitudinal lines, shaded to show depth and three-dimensionality. The Latin motto is written in an arch above the sphere.

All of us acknowledge the one innermost thing, yet no one has seen it. original: "Unum intimum fatemur Omnes, Nemo vidit." This refers to the core of existence or the soul, which is universally accepted as a reality but remains invisible to the physical eye.

Emblem 20: A spiral composed of fine dots leads inward to a central point. The Latin motto is written in an arch around the spiral.

Follow by feeling your way, O Fool: All things lead to the One. original: "Palpando Stulte sequere: Ad Unum Omnia ducunt." The "Fool" here is the spiritual seeker who must navigate the world through faith or intuition, like someone feeling their way in the dark, rather than relying on prideful intellect. The spiral represents the journey toward the Unum the One or God.
