Tree of life
Tree of life - the most sacred geometry symbol
The Tree of Life is one of the most familiar of the Sacred Geometry Symbols. The structure of the Tree of Life is connected to the sacred teachings of the Jewish Kabbalah but can be seen 3,000 years earlier in Egypt. It is possible to see the Tree of Life structure in many places around the conscious universe. The structure is represented in nature and relates to the Flower of Life.
The Tree of Life and Seed of Life are products of the same likeness; it is simply the centers of the circles of the Flower of Life and the Seed of Life (See diagram 3).
The Kabbalah Tree of Life is a representation of the thirty-two paths comprised of the ten sefirot and the twenty-two paths through which they run. The Tree of Life describes the descent of the divine into the manifest world, and methods by which the divine union may be attained in this life. It can be viewed as a map of the human psyche, and of the workings of creation, both manifest and not. It is important to realize that the pure nature of divinity is unity, and that the seemingly separate aspects or emanations exist only in view of the emanated, living in a state of illusory separation. The names and numbers of the ten sefirot are given in order below.1 - Kether (Crown) or Kether Elyon (Supreme Crown)2 - Chokmah (Wisdom)3 - Binah (Understanding or Intelligence)4 - Chesed (Mercy or Grace) or Gedullah (Greatness)5 - Geburah (Severity or Power), Din (Judgement) or Pahad (Fear)6 - Tifereth (Beauty) or Rahamim (Mercy)7 - Netsach (Victory or Constancy)8 - Hod (Glory or Majesty)9 - Yesod (Foundation) or Tsedek (Justice)10 - Malkuth (Kingdom) or Shekhinah (Divine Immanence)
Tree of Life and the struggle between light and darkness
To help us understand the importance of the Tree of Life, a story can be told that characterizes the struggle between light and darkness:On the light side the archangel Michael and on the dark side Satan, who abandoned the creator to create a different reality of his own (if you reverse the name SATAN in the Hebrew language you will get the word natash which means-abandoned in Hebrew). Satan (also known as LUCIFER which means THE BRIGHT AND SHINING ONE since he was the most magnificent and brilliant angle ever created), was aware of all the secrets of the creation and the Flower of Life. The first thing he did was to take the construction of the Egg of Life and spin it into a different point of view or perception instead of the star tetrahedron point of view, which can be derived from this shape (check out our explanation about the Flower of Life). This procedure changed our perception of reality. Satan repeated the process of creation out of the great void but instead of copying the actions of the creator, he changed the process of creation out of the great void. Instead of repeating God's creation and creating the seed of life structure, and creating one sphere at a time in a vortex motion, he divided spirit into two; creating two centers (See diagram 2-2C). In this way there are two centers instead of one.
LIGHT and DARKNESS
There is no vortex motion of creating one sphere at a time; instead there is only a duplication process just like cell division only without a certain order or shape. Unlike GOD'S creation which can be seen in the embryo cell division, which provides perfect shapes during the cellular mitosis through the different stages of development. This is the difference between LIGHT and DARKNESS. Light is order, the cosmic laws of creation, while darkness is chaos and death.
Illusion reality
This action created reality that is separated from that of the creator. This version of reality is an illusion. It is a reality where unity is unseen between that which exists and all that happens, thus experiencing reality as good and evil. Therefore one does not feel real love just the use of the intellect.
Tree of life vs. Tree of knowledge
In the Bible there is a description of the Tree of Knowledge (Satan's creation) and the Tree of Life (God's original reality). "The Tree of Life is in the garden and the Tree of Knowledge good and evil". If one tries to draw the Tree of Life upon Satan's dual Flower of Life he will find it impossible as there is no compatibility between them.
Tree of life pendant
The pendant of the Tree of Life forms the key to God's original creation. The pendant's size itself fits exactly to the size of the Seed of Life and the Flower of Life, and can be used as a sign of unity and love as each structure together creates a perfect match. The Tree of Life symbolizes the true existence of God's creation, the only reality to enable the fulfillment of ones destiny and true potential.
Alchemy Symbol
It was this base metal which, in the marvelous alchemy of the spiritual journey, became transmuted into gold
Alchemy - ancient Egyptian wisdom
Alchemy is the practice of transmutation of base metals into precious metals (gold or silver) with the aid of an esoteric substance called the "philosopher's stone". Alchemy is the ability to convert and exchange one matter for another through the use of human consciousness. The word alchemy is taken from the word Chem which is the ancient name of Egypt. The correct translation of the word Alchemy is Egyptian Wisdom.
Alchemy symbol
The alchemy pendant symbol is made from a geometric shape called the cube octahedron. Its base is an octahedron (double pyramid) whose ends were cut in a 90 degree angle. The pendant is called alchemy symbol because of its ability to transform the nature surrounding it.
Buckminster Fuller cube octahedron
The Alchemy pendant shape and its significance was discovered by a researcher by the name of Buckminster Fuller, who found that by spinning the cube in an octahedron shape you produce all the five platonic solids. The five platonic solids produce all the possible molecular structures, meaning all the reality.
The Alchemy symbol structure and the dolphin grid
Every living species on this planet has an electro magnetic grid that surrounds it. Some claim that the structure in this pendant is the structure of the grid of the most developed beings on this planet, the dolphins. The alchemy pendant creates harmonious frequencies, purifying and balancing. It can be hanged in large spaces for purification and to create a harmonious atmosphere.
Mobius ring
That which is below is from that which is above, working the miracles of one(Emerald tablet of Hermes)
Mobius ring - a ring with only one facet
The Mobius ring is the actualization of number of major spiritual ideas that are well established in sacred geometry. To make a Mobius strip, take a paper page and cut it into a strip (24cm height, 4cm width for the sake of convenience). Now give one of the two ends half a twist and then reattach the two ends. This way you will create a Mobius strip. The Mobius ring has only one side. To see it clearly, take a pen and draw a line on the paper ring so that the end of the line reaches the beginning of that same line. You will end up drawing the line on the whole surface of the ring.
There is no difference between the inside and the outside of the Mobius ring. This is an example of the creator which created everything from him self. Man perceives reality in a dualistic manner for good and evil. The dualistic perception of reality does not recognize the one force behind existence.
Cutting the Mobius strip into two!
Take scissors and cut the Mobius strip in the middle - instead of two rings you will end up with one larger Mobius ring! This shows the idea of duality - when you perceive the One through the duality perception you get the illusion.
Cutting the Mobius strip into three!
Now, cut the strip about 1/3 from the width. You will end up with two rings, a big one and a small one, one inside the other. To understand the meaning of this, let's look at the Hebrew names of God.
Mobius strip and the Hebrew names of God
The Jewish tradition prohibits the pronunciation of the name of God. However the names of the Creator (as they appear in the Hebrew old testament) are not names at all but only symbols which lead to truths. The first Hebrew name for God is "EL" which means "into" - a definition of direction without a particular goal (since the creator is everything and everywhere). The numerological value of the first letter in the word "EL" is 1 and the second letter has the numerological value of 3 which means the one who is three or the holy trinity. When you cut the Mobius strip into 1/3 you get the bigger ring - the macro and the Creator and the smaller ring - the creatures, the living beings. Taking the Hebrew word ELOHIM apart you get three words: "EL" (God in a male aspect), "ELA" (God in a female aspect) and "ELIM" meaning gods. Once again we have the holy trinity - male, female and plural.Even the Hebrew name "Yehova" contains the words "haya" (was in Hebrew), "hove" (is now) and "yeeheeye" (will be) giving us the cycle of time…When we realize who we truly are, the cosmic joke will reveal it self!
