"The Symbolism and Spiritual Significance of the Number Three"

An Example of the Triple Symbology Grand and Small State Coat of Arms of the Republic of Estonia  were confirmed by the Rigikogu by a Law adopted on June 19, 1925,  which entered into force on the territory of the Republic of Estonia on  July 21, 1925. The large national coat of arms has three blue lions (or according to  some interpretations, leopards) on a shield with a gold base. One of the lions symbolizes the courage of the fight for freedom in  ancient times. The second stands for the courage in the uprisings in  Harjumaa in 1343. The third represents the courage of the Estonian  fight for freedom between 1918-1920. The wreath of oak leaves stands for the perseverance and strength  of Estonia and the evergreen traditions of freedom.

In the first three numbers, all of the others are synthesized. From the union of oneness and duality (which is its reflection), that is, from triad, proceed all of the other numbers, and from this primordial triangle all figures derive.

There is also, for traditional civilizations, a direct relationship between numbers and letters of the alphabet, to the point where, with many alphabets, numbers were represented by letters, and had no special signs of their own. This is not the case with the early American cultures, which knew no alphabet, but we wish to call attention to this correspondence because not only the alphabetical code, but the numerical one, as well, describe all reality: that is, everything that is numerable or namable–in the sense of "ciphers," harmonious measures, "proportions"–in sum, the totality of the cosmos, of the knowable.

This threeness or triad, has always been considered sacred–like oneness, duality, and all numbers–by virtue of its very properties and particular attributes. These properties and attributes are manifested in its threefold nature, which of itself is the inevitable expression of a principle, an archetypal fact, that solidifies in a series, as a representation of ideas and energies that materialize in magical, mysterious fashion while obeying precise, universal laws, which the numerical codes and their geometrical correspondences symbolize.

This symbol a triad or trinity. It is a symbol of the unity of body, mind and spirit. The symbol is of universal significance - it is found throughout history and all over the world. It was popularized early in this century by the Russian-born artist, philosopher and scientist Nicholas Roerich. (http://www.roerich.org). It can be interpreted in many different senses: spirit/mind/body in a circle of synthesis; past/present/future enclosed in the ring of eternity; art/science/religion bound in a circle of culture.

The oldest of Indian symbols, Chintamani, the sign of happiness, is composed of this symbol and it can be found in the Temple of Heaven in Beijing. It appears in the Three Treasures of Tibet; on the breast of the Christ in Memling’s famous painting; on the Madonna of Strasbourg; on the shields of the Crusaders and coat of arms of the Templars. It can be seen on the blades of the famous Caucasian swords called "Gurda" and on the swords of Japanese nobility.

It appears as a symbol in several philosophical systems. It can be discovered on the images of Gessar Khan and Rigden Djapo; on the "Tamga" of Timurlane and on the coat of arms of the Popes. It can be seen in the works of ancient Spanish painters and of Titian, and on the ancient ikon of St. Nicholas in Bari and that of St. Sergius and the Holy Trinity. It appears on the coat of arms of the city of Samarkand, on Ethiopian and Coptic antiquities, on the rocks of Mongolia, on Tibetan rings, on Buddhist banners, on the breast ornaments of all the Himalayan countries, and on the pottery of the Neolithic age.

The symbol of the triad or trinity has existed over immeasurable time and throughout the world. It can be understood as a key to the integrity and interdependence of all existence.

Mother Goddess

According to some authors, the triune mother-goddess in pre-Christian Celtic society, to was equal in stature to that of Mercury, which is what Caesar called Lugos or  Lugh, the most important of all the continental Celtic deities. Often Continental representations in sculpture and bas-relief of goddesses are in triads, which were for a time considered to be representations of different figures than those that appeared individually. However, when one looks at the objects associated with them, it is clear that "the two groups espress the same religious idea; only the representation of the idea varies." Some of the symbolic associations with the Celtic mother-goddess are the cornucopia, fruit, animals seated on her knee, and a child in her arms or next to her. Interestingly enough, in continental representations of Celtic deities, the goddess Julius Caesar called Minerva (who is now known to be Brighde) is often depicted in a triad with the male deities Mercury and Apollo, or Mercury and Vulcan. This is possibly a symbol of her immense importance in Celtic religious practices. In other representations, "Minerva" is depicted in the company of "Mars" which is what Caesar called Camulus, the same figure as Cumhail (father of Fionn Mac Cumhail, leader of the Fianna) a sky and war god of the Celts, both Insular and Continental.

The triad is a defining characteristic of Celtic religion and mythology, and not all female triads in the Irish tradition, at least, are as clear symbols of the Mother Goddess. These symbolic attributes include: cornucopia, fruit, animals on the figure’s knee, or a child in her arms or at her side.

Celtic art and literature has long been preoccupied with the number three. Looking at Celtic works or art one notices that often figures are grouped in clusters of three, creatures have three heads, objects repeat three times, or a single head might have three faces.

Oak, ash, and thorn were called the faery triad of trees. Where they grow together,it is still said that faeries live.

From the Druid or Celtic Shamanistic viewpoint the number three represents the different views one might develop following an initiation ceremony. Celtic Shamans believed that they could see the present, past and future - their vision of the world was complete and trustworthy. The Shaman often saw himself as a man standing in three different worlds at the same time. In this way, his judgments, decisions and advice became infallible and was closed to interpretation.

To the Celtic Shaman the worlds overlapped thus his consciousness is different from anyone else. His world view is full and complete. He has many ongoing relationships with otherworldly entities, such as fairies, the dead and the yet to be born. He gains his knowledge of this world from these entities and bestows it upon those who are not so blessed with such insight, such as King Arthur.

The Celtic preoccupation with the number three can be seen in the image of many of the Celtic Gods and Goddesses such as the three Brigids, and in the course of a story, often male heroes travel in groups of three in an attempt to complete a task, each of the three completing a different leg of the journey.

Just as night and day need twilight or dawn to go between it, the Celtic Shaman is the necessary third being between what is seen and unseen. He is neither this nor that. This widespread interest of the number three remains in our thinking today. Many modern concepts in philosophy, mathematics, physics, etc., are still very much based in the idea of "the three."

The Greeks used the number three a lot. There were the three Fates, three Graces, three Gorgons and the three Furies. Even Apollo's Pythia sat on a three legged chair (tripod) and Cerberus was a three headed dog. Multiples of three also seemed to be used such as the nine Muses and the twelve Olympian gods. >

Add the Holy Trinity, the trimester and some others, and you have a world-wide phenomenon.

Number in Scripture 
Its Supernatural Design and Spiritual Significance 
E. W. Bullinger 
(1837-1913)

In this number we have quite a new set of phenomena. We come to the first geometrical figure. Two straight lines cannot possibly enclose any space, or form a plane figure; neither can two plan surfaces form a solid. Three lines are necessary to form a plan figure; and three dimensions of length, breadth, and height, are necessary to form a solid. Hence three is the symbol of the cube--the simplest form of solid figure. As two is the symbol of the square, or plane contents (x²), so three is the symbol of the cube, or solid contents (x³).

Three, therefore, stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, and entire.

All things that are specially complete are stamped with this number three.

God's attributes are three: omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence.

There are three great divisions completing time--past, present, and future.

Three persons, in grammar, express and include all the relationships of mankind.

Thought, word, and deed, complete the sum of human capability.

Three degrees of comparison complete our knowledge of qualities.

The simplest proposition requires three things to complete it; viz., the subject, the predicate, and the copula.

Three propositions are necessary to complete the simplest form of argument--the major premiss, the minor, and the conclusion.

Three kingdoms embrace our ideas of matter--mineral, vegetable, and animal.

When we turn to the Scriptures, this completion becomes Divine, and marks Divine completeness or perfection.

Three is the first of four perfect numbers.

• Three denotes divine perfection;
• Seven denotes spiritual perfection;
• Ten denotes ordinal perfection; and
• Twelve denotes governmental perfection.

Hence the number three points us to what is real, essential, perfect, substantial, complete, and Divine. There is nothing real in man or of man. Everything "under the sun" and apart from God is "vanity." "Every man at his best estate is altogether vanity" (Psa 139:5,11, 62:9, 144:4; Eccl 1:2,4, 2:11,17,26, 3:19, 4:4, 11:8, 12:8; Rom 8:20).

Three is the number associated with the Godhead, for there are "three persons in one God." Three times the Seraphim cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy"--one for each of the three persons in the Trinity (Isa 6:3). The living creatures also in Revelation 4:8.

Three times is the blessing given in Numbers 6:23, 24:--

• "The LORD bless thee and keep thee (the Father);
• The LORD make His face shine upon thee; and be gracious unto thee (the Son);
• The LORD lift up His countenance upon thee, and give thee peace" (the Holy Spirit).

Each of these three blessings is two-fold, so that there are two members in each, while the name Jehovah occurs three times. This marks the blessing as Divine in its source. No merit drew it forth; grace was its origin and peace was its result.

In Genesis 18:2, the same three persons appear to Abraham. Abraham "looked, and, lo, THREE men stood by him." But verse 1 declares that it was "Jehovah appeared unto him." It is remarkable that Abraham addresses them both as one and as three. We read first that "they said," then "he said," and finally, in verses 13 and 17, 20, etc., "And the LORD said." The whole narrative, which begins with the appearance of the LORD, ends (v 33), "And the LORD went His way."

As we have in the number one the sovereignty of the one God; and in two the second person, the Son, the great Deliverer; so in "three" we have the third person, the Holy Spirit, marking and completing "the fulness of the Godhead." This word "fulness" is remarkable, occurring only three times, and in connection with the Three Persons of the Trinity:

• Ephesians 3:19, "The fulness of God.
• Ephesians 4:13, "The fulness of Christ."
• Colossians 2:9, "The fulness of the Godhead."

The "fulness" was manifested visibly in Christ, and is communicated by the Holy Spirit, for it is a fulness of which we receive by His mighty power (John 1:16).

This is why Abraham brought "three measures of meal" for his heavenly guest. This is why "three measures of meal" formed the great meal offering; because it set forth the perfection of Christ's perfect and Divine nature. In Leviticus no particular quantity of meal was prescribed, but in Numbers 15:9, we read, "Then shall he bring with the bullock a meal offering of THREE tenth deals of flour." This was the measure for the whole burnt offering, and also for great special occasions such as the New Moon and the New Year, etc. It was also the special measure for the cleansing of the leper (Lev 14:10). The poor leper had several gracious blessings beyond others. He alone was favoured with the anointing which was given only to the Prophet, Priest, and King! He alone had the priestly consecration. It is sinners who are now singled out from the mass of those who are lost, and dead in trespasses and sins, to be anointed with the Spirit, and made, in Christ, kings and priests unto God.

But there is more in these "three measures of meal." We have them in the parable (Matt 13:33), pointing to Christ in all the perfection of His person and His work, when He said, "Lo, I come to do Thy will, O God." There are different opinions about the "leaven," but what is the "meal." This is the point on which the interpretation turns. According to the popular interpretation, this pure "meal" is the corrupt mass of mankind, and the defiling "leaven" is the pure Gospel of Christ! Was there ever such an exhibition of man's perversity in calling sweet bitter, and bitter sweet? Was there ever such a proof that man's thoughts are contrary to God's? No! the "three measures of meal" point us to the perfections of Christ and the purity of His Gospel. And the hidden "leaven" points us to man's corruption of the Truth. A corruption for which we have to look, not after the third century, but in the first!

No leaven could be put into any sacrifice or offering made by fire to the LORD, because in Christ was no sin; therefore, there was to be no leaven. He was, in Himself, "a sweet savour to Jehovah."

True, in one offering there was leaven. But mark the difference and the lesson. In Leviticus 23 we have a list of the Feasts:--

• 1st. The Passover (v 5), on the 14th day.
• 2nd. The wave-sheaf of first-fruits on the morrow after the Sabbath (v 11), which might be burnt on the altar as a sweet savour (Lev 2:14-16), because unleavened.
• 3rd. Then (50 days after) the oblation of the first-fruits at Pentecost (vv 15-17). This might not be burnt on the altar (Lev 2:12), because it was mixed withleaven!

In the antitype of this we see Christ:--

• 1st. Christ our Passover sacrificed for us.
• 2nd. As the wave-sheaf of first-fruits, He was raised from the dead and became the first-fruits of them that slept (1 Cor 15:20), for in Him there was no sin (and hence no leaven).
• 3rd. Then, after fifty days, on the Feast of Pentecost came the oblation of the first-fruits in the descent of the Holy Ghost; for "we are a kind of first-fruits of His creatures" (James 1:18). But His people are not without sin, therefore this oblation had leaven mixed with it. It could not be offered to the LORD as a "sweet savour" (Lev 2:12). It was accepted only because a sin-offering was offered with it (Lev 23:18,19), and the Priest waved all together for a wave-offering before the LORD.

This proves that the "leaven" is a type of error, evil, and sin. While the "three measures of meal" with which it was mixed and hidden typified the truth and purity of Christ and His Truth, and not the corrupt mass of mankind amongst whom it was introduced. The popular interpretation reverses the types of the meal and the leaven, and makes the leaven that which is good, and the meal that which is evil. But the great Teacher made no such mistake. "Church doctrine" is not "Bible truth," but it is leavened meal.

The number three, therefore, must be taken as the number of Divine fulness. It signifies and represents the Holy Spirit as taking of the things of Christ and making them real and solid in our experience. It is only by the Spirit that we realise spiritual things. Without Him and His gracious operation, all is surface work: all is what a plane figure is to a solid (John 3:6). He it is who has wrought all our works in us, and by whom alone we can serve or worship (John 4:24).

Hence it is that the Holy of Holies, which was the central and highest place of worship, was a cube.

Hence it is that the third Book in the Bible is Leviticus, the book in which we learn what true worship is. Here we see Jehovah calling His people near unto Himself, prescribing every detail of their worship, leaving nothing to their imagination or their taste, crowning all with the "MUST" of the great rubric of John 4:24. In true worship we see the FATHER seeking these true worshippers (John 4:23); the SON, the one object of all worship; and the Spirit qualifying and enduring the worshippers with the only power in which they can worship. Thus in Genesis we have sovereignty in giving life--the Father, the beginning of all things; in Exodus we have the oppressor and the Deliverer--the Son redeeming His people; while in Leviticus we have the Spirit prescribing, and ordering, and empowering them for Divine worship.

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE

of the number is in Genesis 1:13. "The third day" was the day on which the earth was caused to rise up out of the water, symbolical of that resurrection life which we have in Christ, and in which alone we can worship, or serve, or do any "good works."

Hence three is a number of RESURRECTION, for it was on the third day that Jesus rose again from the dead. This was Divine in operation, and Divine in its prophetic foreshowing in the person of Jonah (Matt 12:39,40; Luke 11:29; Jonah 1:17). It was the third day on which Jesus was "perfected" (Luke 13:32). It was at the third hour He was crucified; and it was for three hours (from the 6th to the 9th) that darkness shrouded the Divine Sufferer and Redeemer. The "loud voice" at the end of those twice three hours, when, "about the ninth hour," He cried, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me" (Matt 27:46), shows completely that nothing of nature, nothing of the light or intelligence of this world, could give help in that hour of darkness. Does not this show us our impotence in the matter? Does it not prove our incapacity to aid in delivering ourselves from our natural condition?

With the light at the ninth hour came the Divine declaration, "It is finished." So divinely finished, completed, and perfected, that now there is no such darkness for those who have died with Christ. Light, uninterrupted light, shines upon all who are risen with Him; uninterrupted sunshine--even "the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." That three hours' darkness, therefore, testifies to our complete ruin, and our complete salvation, and shows that His people are "complete in Him."

While we are speaking of the Divine perfections of Christ, let us note the many marks and seals of this completeness.

"The Spirit, the water, and the blood," are the divinely perfect witness to the grace of God on earth (1 John 5:7).

The three years of His seeking fruit testifies to the completeness of Israel's failure (Luke 13:7).

His three-fold "it is written" shows that the Word of God is the perfection of all ministry (Matt 4).

The Divine testimony concerning Him was complete in the threefold voice from Heaven (Matt 3:17, 17:5; John 12:28).

He raised three persons from the dead.

The inscriptions on the Cross in three languages show the completeness of His rejection by Man.

The perfection of His offices are shown in His being Prophet, Priest, and King, raised up from among His brethren (Deut 177:15, 18:3-5, and 18:15).

The Divine completeness of the Shepherd's care (John 6:39), is seen in His revelations as--

• The "Good Shepherd" in death, John 10:14.
• The "Great Shepherd" in resurrection, Hebrews 13:20.
• The "Chief Shepherd" in glory, 1 Peter 4:5.

His three appearances in Hebrews 9 show that His work will not be divinely perfect and complete until He appears again.

1. He "hath appeared" in the end of the age to "put away sin," and to "bear the sins of many" (Hebrews 9:26,28).
2. "Now to appear in the presence of God for us," He has ascended into Heaven (v 24).
3. He "shall appear" again part from all question of sin for those who look for Him (v 28).

ABRAHAM'S COVENANT

To go back to the Old Testament history we have God's Covenant with Abraham stamped with this number of Divine perfection (Gen 15). It was (like David's, 2 Samuel 7) Divinely "ordered in all things, and sure." God was ONE, i.e., the one party to it; for Abraham, who would willingly have been the other party, was put to sleep, that the Covenant might be unconditional, and "sure to all his seed." The Divine seal is seen in the choice of three animals, each of three years old (the heifer, the she-goat, and the ram). These, together with the two birds (the dove and the pigeon), made five in all, marking it all as a perfect act of free-grace on the part of a sovereign God.

THE COMPLETE SEPARATION OF ISRAEL

is shown in "the three days' journey into the wilderness" (Exo 5:3), marking the complete separation with which God would separate His people from Egypt then, and from the world now. We can understand Pharaoh's objection in first wishing them to hold their feast "in the land" (Exo 8:25), and when that could not be, at last consenting to their going, but adding, "only ye shall not go very far away." So Satan now, is well content that we should worship "in the land"; and if we must go into the wilderness, that we should be within easy reach of the world and its influences. Not so Jehovah. He will have no such borderland service; He will have a "scientific frontier," a divinely perfect "three days' journey into the wilderness," completely separating them from all their old associations. The difficulty of "drawing the line," which so many Christians experience, arises from the fact that it is a crooked line, and that it is an attempt to include that which cannot be included. Drawn at a proper distance it can be ruled straight, and be divinely perfect and effectual.

THE SPIES

brought three things which testified to the divinely perfect goodness of the land; and the substantial realities proved the truth of Jehovah's word: "Grapes, figs, and pomegranates" (Num 13:23).

AT THE GIVING OF THE LAW

three times Israel said, "All that the LORD hath spoken we will do" (Exo 19:8, 24:3,7), marking the completeness of the Covenant-making on the part of Israel; but from that very reason foreshadowing its perfect breach, for man has never yet kept any Covenant which he made with God.

AHIMAN, SHESHAI, AND TALMAI,

were the three children of Anak, marking the completeness of the giant power of the enemy (Num 13:22).

JORDAN

was three times divided, the perfection of the Divine miracle (Josh 4; 2 Kings 2:8,14).

THE THREE DAYS' SEARCH

for Elijah was conclusive testimony that he could not be found (2 Kings 2:17).

THE TEMPLE

is marked by three, as the Tabernacle is by five. The Holy of Holies in each was a cube; in the Tabernacle a cube of ten cubits; in the Temple a cube of twenty cubits. Each consisted of three parts:--The Court, the Holy Place, and the Sanctuary. The Temple had three chambers round about. The Brazen Sea or Laver heldthree thousand baths; and was compassed by a line of thirty cubits on which were 300 knops (1 Kings 7:24). It was supported by twelve oxen (3x4); three looking north, three looking west, three looking south, and three looking east. This order in naming the points of the compass occurs nowhere else. It is the same in both accounts of Kings and Chronicles (see 1 Kings 7:25; 2 Chron 4:4,5). Why is this? Is it because this was the order in which the Gospel was to be afterwards preached throughout the world? Whether this was the reason or not, the fact remains that the Gospel was preached first in the north (Samaria, Damascus, Antioch); then in the west (Caesarea, Joppa, Cyprus, Corinth, Rome); then in the south (Alexandria and Egypt); then in the east (Mesopotamia, Babylon, Persia, India).

THE GREAT FEASTS

were three; Unleavened Bread, Weeks, Tabernacles (Deut 16:16).

THE SHEET

let down three times to Peter was the fulness of the testimony as to the admission of the Gentiles into the Church (Acts 10:16).

THE OLD TESTAMENT

Testimony was complete and perfect in its three-fold division--Law, Prophets, and Psalms (Luke 24:44). The same three divisions mark its character to the present day.

"TWO OR THREE"

As three marks completeness and perfection of testimony, so it marks the number of spiritual worshippers; and intimates that true spiritual worshippers would always be few.

COMPLETENESS OF PEOPLE

• Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
• Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• Gershom, Kohath, and Merari.
• Saul, David, and Solomon.
• Noah, Daniel, and Job.
• Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
• Peter, James, and John, etc.

COMPLETENESS OF APOSTASY (Jude 11)

• "The way of Cain."
• "The error of Balaam."
• "The gainsaying of Korah."

COMPLETENESS OF DIVINE JUDGMENT (Daniel 6:25-28).

• MENE. God hath NUMBERED thy kingdom and finished it.
• TEKEL. Thou art WEIGHED in the balances and found wanting.
• PERES. Thy kingdom is DIVIDED and given to the Medes and Persians.

THE THREE GIFTS OF GRACE:

Faith, Hope, and Love, five times repeated.

THE THREE-FOLD NATURE OF MAN:

Spirit, and Soul, and Body, the man consisting of neither separately, but of the whole three together.

THE THREE-FOLD NATURE OF TEMPTATION (1 John 2:16)

• "The lust of the flesh."
• "The lust of the eyes."
• "The pride of life."

These seen in our first parents when Eve saw (Gen 3:6) that the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was--

• "Good for food,"
• "Pleasant to the eyes,"
• "To be desired to make one wise."

THE THREE-FOLD CORRUPTION OF GOD'S WORD

By taking from, adding to, and altering.

This led up to the first sin.

1. God had said, "of every tree in the garden thou mayest FREELY eat" (Gen 2:16). In repeating this, Eve omitted the word "freely" (3:2), making God less bountiful than He was.
2. God had said, "But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, thou shalt not eat of it" (Gen 2:17). In repeating this Eve added the words, "NEITHER SHALL YE TOUCH IT" (3:3), making God more severe than He was.
3. God had said, "Thou shalt SURELY die" (Gen 3:17). In repeating this Eve altered it to "LEST ye die" (3:3), thus weakening the certainty of the Divine threat into a contingency.

No wonder that dealing thus with the Word of God she listened to the words of the Devil, and became an easy prey to his guile with which he deceived her.

No wonder also that "the second man," "the last Adam," when He was tempted by the same tempter, three times repeated the words "It is written"! as though to call attention to the occasion of the Fall in the three-fold perversions of God's words. "It is written," and I will not omit anything from it; "It is written," and I will not add anything to it; "It is written," and I will not alter it. It is worthy of note that both the temptations began in precisely the same way, by the Tempter questioning the truth of Jehovah's Word. In the former saying, "Hath God said?" In the latter saying "If Thou be the Son of God" (Matt 4:3), when the voice from Heaven had only just declared, "This IS My beloved Son" (Matt 3:17).

MAN'S THREE GREAT ENEMIES

are "the World, the Flesh, and the Devil":

1. The World is set over against the Father (1 John 2:15,16).
2. The Flesh is set over against the Spirit (Gal 5:17).
3. The Devil is set over against the son (the Living Word, Matthew 4:1, etc, and 1 John 3:8; and the Written Word, John 8:44).

"ASK OF ME"

To three people did God give this command:

• To Solomon (1 Kings 3:5).
• To Ahaz (Isa 7:11).
• And to the Messiah (Psa 2:9).

THE THREE PRAYERS OF MARK V

form a divinely perfect lesson as to prayer and its answer.

1. Prayer was made by the Legion of Devils, who "BESOUGHT Him, saying, Send us into the herd of swine...and forthwith Jesus gave them leave" (vv 12,13).
2. Prayer was made by the Gadarenes, who "began to PRAY Him to depart out of their coasts" (v 17). Jesus granted their request, and departed at once (v 18).
3. Prayer was made by the man who had just been the recipient of marvellous grace and healing, who "PRAYED Him that he might be with Him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not" (vv 18,19).

From this we learn the perfect lesson with regard to prayer, that "No" is an answer as well as "Yes"; and "No" is answered always with the same omnipotent grace, infinite wisdom, and perfect love as "Yes." We hear much about "definiteness in prayer." Surely the knowledge of one's intense ignorance as to what is best and wise for us, will make us say more definitely than ever, in the words of Him through whose merits alone prayer is heard at all, "Thy will be done."

THREE THINGS PREDICATED OF GOD 
(in John's Gospel and Epistles)

• "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16). We are therefore to "Walk in love" (Eph 5:2).
• "God is spirit" (John 4:24, RV, margin). We are exhorted to "Walk in the spirit" (Gal 5:16).
• "God is light" (1 John 1:5). We are to "Walk in the light" (Eph 5:8).

There are a multitude of Threes or Triads, and they all bespeak the same Divine perfection and completeness wherever they are found.

REVELATION 1

The first or introductory section of the Apocalypse of Jesus Christ is specially marked by this great Divine seal stamped upon it in chapter 1.

• v. 1. This Revelation is-- 
  Divinely given, 
  Divinely sent, 
  Divinely signified.

  The hearer, and 
  The keeper of this record.
• vv. 4 and 8. The Divine Being--

• v. 5. The Coming Lord is presented as-- 
  The Divine Prophet ("the faithful witness"). 
  The Divine Priest ("the first-begotten from the dead").

  The things which thou hast seen, 
  Which are, and 
  Which shall be after these things.

WORDS THAT OCCUR THREE TIMES

refer also in various ways to some Divinely perfect matter. We append a few examples, which may be studied in order to search out the lessons:--

• (ah-dar), glorious, Exodus 15:6,11; Isaiah 42:21.
• (aph-see), beside me, Isaiah 47:8,10; Zephaniah 2:15.
• (g'moo-lah), recompense, 2 Samuel 19:36; Isaiah 59:18; Jeremiah 51:56.
• (nah-cheh), lame, 2 Samuel 4:4, 9:3; contrite, Isaiah 56:2.
• (at-teek), ancient, Daniel 7:9,13,22.
• (r'phoo-oth), medicines, Jeremiah 30:13, 46:11; Ezekiel 30:21.
• (abba), Father, Mark 14:36; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6.
• (haireomai), to choose, Philippians 1:22; 2 Thessalonians 2:13; Hebrews 11:25.
• (apokruphos), hid, Luke 8:17; Colossians 2:3; kept secret, Mark 4:22.
• (apophthengomai), speak forth, Acts 26:25; utterance, Acts 2:4; say, Acts 2:14.
• (acheiropoieetos), made without hands, Mark 14:58; 2 Corinthians 5:1; Colossians 2:11.
• (euodia), sweet savour, 2 Corinthians 2:15; Ephesians 5:2; Philippians 4:18.
• (kateuthuno), guide or direct, Luke 1:70; 1 Thessalonians 3:11; 2 Thessalonians 3:5.
• (morphee), form, Mark 16:12; Philippians 2:6,7.

PHRASES THAT OCCUR THREE TIMES

are also similarly significant.

• "Before the foundation of the world." 
  John 17:24. "Thou lovedst Me before," etc. 
  Ephesians 1:4. "Chosen us in Him before," etc. 
  1 Peter 1:20. "The blood of Christ foreordained before," etc. (when it speaks of this blood as "shed" it is from the foundation, etc.).

The phrase occurs three times, because it is the act of Deity, and flows from uninfluenced grace.

When, however, such acts relate to His work in us rather than for us, the words, even in a similar connection, occur seven times, because seven is the number ofspiritual perfection. Hence the phrase, "From the foundation of the world" occurs seven times.

"Walk worthy"

This occurs three times, as the Divine and perfect claim on our walk.

• "Walk worthily" 
  Of our vocation (Eph 4:1), 
  Of the Lord (Col 1:10), 
  Of God (1 Thess 2:12).

THE THREE-FOLD COMBINATIONS OF A NUMBER

denotes the essence of such number, the concentration of the significance of the number thus expressed.

• 444 is the gematria or number of the word "DAMASCUS," which is the oldest city in the world; four being the world number.
• 666 is the number of man, and it symbolizes fitly, therefore, the essence of human wisdom, and also of imperfection.
• 888 is the number or gematria of the name "JESUS."
• 999 is the number connected with judgment, hence the numerical value of the phrase my wrath, is 999. The same number is very prominent in the judgment on Sodom.

THE TALMUD

has many references, among other numbers, to the number three. The Rabbis say that there were

Three things Moses asked of God

1. That the Shekinah might rest on Israel.
2. That it might rest on none but Israel.
3. That God's ways might be known to him. (Beracheth, fol. 7, col. 1).

Three precious gifts were given to Israel

1. The Law.
2. The Land.
3. The World to come (i.e., the Heavenly Calling).

Three men

handed down the ancient wisdom and Divine secrets, viz., Adam, Seth, and Enoch.

Whatever may be thought of these, there can be no doubt that in the invariable employment of the number three in the Word of God, we have that which signifies Divine perfection.

---

God had not only good cause to delay the giving of the Torah until after the departure of Jethro, but the time He chose for bestowing it was also chosen for a good reason. Just as a female proselyte, or a woman freed from captivity, or an emancipated slave, may not enter wedlock before she has for three months lived as a free Jewess, so God also waited three months after the deliverance of Israel from the bondage and the slavery of Egypt, before His union with Israel on Mount Sinai. God furthermore treated His bride as did that king who went to the marriage ceremony only after he had overwhelmed his chosen bride with many gifts...

The third month was chosen for the revelation, because everything that is closely connected with the Torah and with Israel is triple in number. The Torah consists of three parts, the Pentateuch, the Prophets, and the Hagiographa; similarly the oral law consists of Midrash, Halakah, and Haggadah. The communications between God and Israel were carried on by three, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. Israel also is divided into three divisions, priests, Levites, and laymen; and they are, furthermore, the descendants of the three Patriarchs, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For God has a preference for "the third": It was the third of Adam's sons, Seth, who became the ancestor of humanity, and so too it was the third among Noah's sons, Shem, who attained high station. Among the Jewish kings, too, it was the third, Solomon, whom God distinguished before all others. The number three plays a particularly important part in the life of Moses. He belonged to the tribe of Levi, which is not only the third of the tribes, but has a name consisting of three letters. He himself was the third of the children of the family; his own name consists of three letters; in his infancy he had been concealed by his mother throughout three months; and in the third month of the year, after a preparation of three days, did he receive the Torah on a mountain, the name of which consists of three letters.

(Legends of the Jews, Louis Ginzberg, Book 3)



 Symbols Common to Theodish Belief and Asatru

See: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Atlantis/2575

The ValknutR: As can be seen, the valknutR consists of three triangles linked together. A variation has three horns interlinked. The valknutR symbolizes the power of Wóden to bind and unbind the minds of men. According to the Hávamál Wóden can place “fetters” upon his enemies, so that in battle they became panicked or frozen with fear. On the other hand, Wóden could also free a man’s mind, so that he may be unencumbered by fear in battle, so that he might receive the inspiration for writing poetry, or so that he might experience religious ecstasy. As a symbol of Wóden, the valknutR appears frequently in Theodish and Asatru circles alike. Because we are dedicated to Wóden, the valknutR is an official symbol of Wednesbury Theod, though it used very frequently elsewhere as well.

Trefot: The trefot is another symbol associated with Wóden, sometimes appearing beside the valknutR on ancient runestones and gravestones. The number three and its multiples (particularly nine) occur often in Norse myth--there were three Norns, Wóden had two brothers, making a total of three siblings, and so on. Today it is difficult to say why the number three was so important to the elder heathen. Many today interpret the number as representing completion. That is, the number three is symbolic of something which has gone through its beginning, into a middle period, and then seen its end. Of course, it must also be pointed out that three is the most basic number, the "building block" if you will, for the family. A man and woman marry, making for a "couple" or two people together. Eventually, if things go according to the usual plan, a baby is born making for a family of three people. The number three could then have been seen as the number of reproduction or the continuation of things. Whatever the number three's symbolism, it seems reasonable to assume that a three-footed symbol (hence the name trefot), the trefot would share in that symbolism.

ÆgishjalmaR: Literally, the "Helm or Awe (in its meaning as "terror")". The Helm of Awe is sometimes found beside figures of warriors and is an important symbol in Icelandic magic. Its name links it to Wóden, who could strike fear in his enemies and who has as one of his many names YggR, "he who invokes terror." It is believed that if it is worn or traced between the brows it will strike fear into your opponents.

Note the tridents at the end of each arm.



The Interlaced Triangles: Known in the Occident as King Solomon’s seal or star, it was called in India the seal of Vishnu. The interlaced triangles signify the bipolarity in nature - spirit and matter, or male and female. The apex of the white triangle represents the divine monad; the apex of the dark triangle, the manifested worlds. The upward triangle suggests spirit, consciousness, and concealed wisdom, which are mirrored in the downward-pointing triangle representing matter, receptive space, manifestation, or wisdom revealed. The sides of the dark triangle may stand for form, color, and substance; the three gunas or fundamental qualities; and the creative, preserving, and destructive/regenerative forces of the Hindu triad, Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva. Together the triangles represent the manifested universe evolved from the central point within the serpent-circle of time and space. They also form the hexagon of six principles, cosmic and human, emanating from and synthesized by the central point, the seventh and highest self of any evolving being. Thus they express the sevenfold structure of the universe. The central cross is the inner person, touching all things from the six sides through the six triangles. The six points of the star reach outward toward the serpent of eternity, growing and evolving through time.

THE INTERLACED TRIANGLES, one (lighter) pointing upwards and the other (darker) pointing downwards, symbolise the descent of spirit into matter and its reemergence from the confining limits of form. They also suggest the constant conflict between the light and dark forces in nature as well as the inseparable unity of spirit and matter. When depicted within the circle of the serpent, the figure represents the universe and the manifestation of Deity in time and space. The three lines and three angles of each of the two triangles may remind us of the triple aspects of spirit: existence, consciousness and bliss, and the three aspects of matter: mobility, resistance and rhythm. The glyph can also be seen as the six­pointed star, embracing spiritual and physical consciousness and viewed by the Pythagoreans as the symbol of creation.



12-10-97 - VISION - I saw a symbol like a crop circle with a circle with 3 arms. They told me I was part of a trinity which made me part of the spiritual, dream, physical connection. NOTE: On 2-21-98, we received a crop circle magazine in the mail, and lo and behold we saw this pattern which so resembled by dream. I had NOT known of it's existence prior to this. It had been discovered on Aug. 5, 1997. Here are the details of it: DETAILS: This circle with three arms appeared in a field of ripe wheat in the field next to the 1995 double ringed circle in rape (Sx 1995/001) All crop was laid clockwise or away from the centre. Some stalks noticeably around the edge, were laid in the opposite direction, much like the Newhaven formation. A bowl-like depression was observed in the centre of rotation, a common occurrence often noticed in Sussex formations and not indicative of being man-made. Short, green barley stems growing within the formation were still standing upright. Although the pattern had been present for several days and was clearly visible from the road, it wasn't reported until one day before harvest. The full survey was carried out on what remained two days later. ************** 10-31-98 - DREAM - It seemed that Joe was the creator.  A shape like this:     appeared on the ground.  It was golden.  That shape became:            From that a series of shapes appeared: Someone didn't like what those shapes did or represented and they were wiped out and the ground paved over with these shapes: Each of these paving stone type things which were gray/white , were divided into 4 parts, and each quarter section, had a unique design on it. They looked like a series of grave markers. On the far left paving stone, I recall that the bottom left design was the same as this:  (Not positive it was this number of circles) and the top left hand corner was a series of triangles (I believe there were 3 triangles within the quarter section. (Means the 3 aspects of God) (There was more but my memory is gone) I woke up and thought about what this meant and it suddenly hit me that this was the series of events of Creation in the Old Testament. INTERPRETATION OF THE PAVING STONES: by Terrence Murphy The "key" is the three triangles and the quarter section. The quarter section represents the material or physical world. The triangles are the Spiritual worlds and the personal/impersonal relationships existing therein. Four and three are seven: the perfection of man in Christ.  The significant directions are North and East. God Love you On the same morning, about an hour later, I went back to bed to meditate on the meaning of these symbols. While I was asking to see the dream again, the word "Tetraktys" jumped into my head. I had to ask Joe what it meant because I didn't know. This is what Joe wrote on his Humanity on the Pollen Path - Part IV: - In Joseph Campbell's The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, on page 128, he writes about the Great Seal of the United States. The disk above the eagle's head has 13 stars forming a Solomon's seal, "symbolic of the union of soul and body, spirit and matter." It is formed by two interlaced "Pythagorean tetraktys, or 'perfect triangle of fourness,' of nine points, four to a side, enclosing a tenth representing the generative center." The tetraktys is said to symbolize how the creation is created. The single star (or dot) at the top represents the One Creative source. The two stars below represent the duality. The next row of three stars represents the relative balance of the duality attributes (a dominant, b dominant or a and b in accord). The four stars on the bottom of the triangle represent everything else in creation.  Always a step ahead of me, Joe wrote this about the Triangles within Triangles: Humanity On the Pollen Path - Part II: Pythagorean Tetraktys The correspondence between the Shem ha-meforash and the  Tetragrammaton (IHVH) is revealed when we apply another rule of gematria to the four-letter word. The seven dots of the tetraktys (the Elohim) form the star of David,  the seventh day is in the center. (Note: that the seven dots are contained  within the three dots the triad of God.) Excerpt from The Alpha and Omega by Jim Cornwell Then I heard, "See David's book on creation. It's the same story." "It's unveiled." This was stated by a woman sitting next to me on the bed in the astral dimension.  I then saw a Mayan priest looking left up into the sky. He was wearing long robes, brown with green squared designs around the front edges. "Other examples are 'Celebration Feasts'. I then saw a brown hairy animal. It looked like a cross between a hairy elephant with a long face like a horse. I then saw a little crystal shaped like the above nipple shapes. It was called an "Amphora". It was placed in front of me. It was about finger size or smaller. I then heard, "There is a lot of hard evidence." "His name is Taylor" and he laughed. then he said, "How do you know?" and laughed again. (I think he laughed because our granddaughter is named Taylar." I then saw a web page with 6 rectangles over on the right side. I'm thinking it might be Laura Lees. One of the rectangles said, "Soundcast". (This made me think the author is well-known.) NOTE: After I got out of bed, I went outside to get the mail and paper in. Towards the East was two triangle shaped clouds. one was pointed East and the other one pointed north. They were almost side by side in the sky, and looked like they were painted in the sky with a paint brush with lines and were very small.  The other clouds in the sky in the south and the west were normal roundish clouds and were large. ************ 8-12-99 - VISION - I saw three Chinese women levitated above the ground in lotus position. They were on the right and seated in a triangle shape with each other. Physical World Atomic Number Three - Lithium deuteride is the explosive material of the hydrogen bomb and may eventually be the fuel of controlled fusion reactors. There is great power in three. Three Primary Colors - using the three primary colors all other colors can be produced including white The surface of the earth - is one third land, two thirds water. Three stages - the number of stages of a rocket necessary to best achieve orbit for heavy loads. In 1293, on his way back from China, Marco Polo got a taste of South India when he stopped along the Malabar Coast. He records a meeting he had with a group of yogi alchemists who, by preparing a tincture of mercury and sulfur, were afforded a lifespan of 150-200 years. Mercury was viewed as the seminal seed of Shiva. It formed a part of the alchemical triad of mercury sulfur and air, corresponding to the trinity of moon sun, and wind. Breath controlled through the practices of Pranayama, transformed the body's winds into a spiritual mediator that could unify the solar and lunar currents within the body. Much like the alchemical process applied air to mercury and sulfur to form the amalgam that brought the work to completion. Consciousness was seen to ride the vehicle of breath into union with the absolute in the Sahasrara chakra at the top of the head. The Siddha could, through the intercession of the Goddess, placated by manipulation of the breath, expand consciousness to the point where it becomes what is called the Maha Chitta or "Great Awareness" which is the God Shiva himself. Here is one of the closing verses of Bhogar's discussion of Kundalini Yoga.. ANGELS The angelic beings, or celestial intelligences, are divided into three triads, containing the nine orders, and whose names, as we shall see, represent the divine attributes that they manifest to all below them. Continuing from the fine introduction to the work, Dionysius says these divine attributes also have an inner relation with every human soul, for through their ministrations the aspiring soul becomes liberated from the bondage of material things, receives knowledge of that soul's purpose, and is enabled to live its true life, ultimately attaining its divine likeness to the full. The first order of the first triad is seraphim. They are described in the passage already quoted from Isaiah as the "burning" or "fiery" ones, from whom the stream of superessential grace flows (God transcends all essence). Like fire, the seraphim consume all that separates the human from God. The second order is cherubim. The name "cherub" means "fullness of knowledge". Through cherubim, the energy of God streams forth as a transcendental light that perfectly illuminates the soul and unites it with the divine wisdom. It imparts a full and lucid understanding to the universal divine immanence. In the Bible, cherubs are depicted as great winged creatures - for instance, in the construction of the Ark in the wilderness (Exodus 25.18 passim), King Solomon's majestic temple (1 Kings 6.23 passim) and the visions of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1.10 and 10.1 passim). In one passage, the cherub is portrayed as a flying creature on which God travelled in order to help King David (2 Samuel 22.11). All this shows how hard it is for the human mind to avoid conceptualizing a formless energy The third order of the first triad are the thrones; these are divine seats through which the soul is lifted up to God and becomes established in the constancy of the divine service. This first triad is closest at all times to the divine presence. In the second triad come first the dominions, or dominations, that are free from all earthly passions, from all inward inclination to the bondage of discord, and from all that is low; they display a liberal superiority to harsh tyranny, and an exemptness from degrading servility. They are true lords, perpetually aspiring to true lordship, and to the Source of Lordship. The second order of the second triad are the virtues, that have a powerful and unshakable virility welling forth into all their God-like energies. There is no weakness in them: instead, they ascend unwaveringly to the superessential virtue which is the Source of Virtue, and flow forth providentially to those below. The third order are the powers, or authorities, that are invested with a capacity to regulate intellectual and supermundane power which never debases its authority by tyrannical force, but is irresistibly urged onward in due order to the Divine. This order beneficently leads those below it, as far as possible, to the supreme power which is the Source of Power. It re-directs the forces that fetter the human mind to earthly things. Through this second triad, the soul is liberated from all that is below, and assimilated to that which is above. The third, and lowest, triad is concerned with the final execution of the work of providence, which is God's beneficent care for his creatures. The principalities exhibit divine lordship and true service; through them, the soul may turn from attachment to earthly activities to the service of God, so as ultimately to become a co-worker with the divine ministers. The archangels imprint the divine seal on all things, whereby the universe is the written word of God. They impart to the soul the spiritual light through which it may learn to read the Bible, and also to know and use its own faculties correctly. The lowest order of this triad is the angels, who minister to all things of nature, including humans, by purifying and uplifting them. In this triadic scheme, the higher orders inspire those lower than they, but not vice versa. Thus it is clear that the third triad is nearest the world, and transmits the illumination received from above. The end of the process is the transfiguration of the whole of the universe in the glorious light that proceeds from on high. This whole hierarchy spreads the divine light through the cosmos, that vast realm that includes the universe, as far as human understanding can define it, and also the psychic plane where we may meet the spirits of the dead and also the communion of saints and the ministry of angels. The great work of the angelic hierarchy is to praise and glorify God. This praise is not a rational acclaim so much as a great paean of joy that the world is as it is and that the angels are privileged both to know it and to participate in it. This is how we should say the Gloria of the Eucharist: that we are privileged to partake of the body and blood of the Saviour If the whole cosmos could resound to that praise, and move beyond prejudice and emotional bonds, we would pour out peace and goodwill to all creatures. The angelic hierarchy, with its enlightened will turned resolutely to the divine presence, helps to bring forward the Kingdom of God on earth - and elsewhere in our unimaginably glorious cosmos. And so it is that all aspiring human souls move to the divine presence, aided by an immense angelic hierarchy, none more important than the other. If the humble angel leads the way, the destination is through the cherub and seraph to the source of all being whom we call God. It may well be that much illumination from the Holy Spirit comes to us through the angelic hierarchy, centering on our own guardian angel. One thing is certain, though: we must worship the Holy Trinity and no other power. The chthonic triad as a three-headed snake.  In this alchemical instruction for androgyny,  one and three snakes represent the uniting of the  One with the Three, or "Divine Union". THE TRIDENT Poseidon (Greek) One of the twelve great Olympian deities, a son of Ouranos and Gaia, brother of Zeus and Hades; represented by the Latins as Neptunus. The brothers Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are respectively the gods of heaven, the intermediate world or water, and of the underworld; and these represent the three great generalized powers or forces, each one ruling or vitalizing his respective third of the seven manifest cosmic planes. Poseidon presides over water, especially the ocean, and over horses, which he brought forth by a stroke of his trident on the earth. His symbols are the dolphin, one of his executive ministers; the trident; and the horse. It is Poseidon who shakes the earth and raises and quells storms at sea. He had numerous offspring by many wives, both mortal and immortal; mostly of a violent unruly character like himself -- titans and giants. He stands as a personation of the spirit and race of Atlantis; for he is lusty, sensual, and at war with heaven. To consummate his intrigues, he assumes the forms of various animals -- a way of alluding to bestial Atlantean black magic. The symbol is complex, for he is also a dragon. He is related to the northern constellations of Draco, Delphinus, and Pegasus (or Equus, the horse). Equivalent to Chozzar of the Peratae Gnostics and the good serpent of the Nazarenes (cf SD 2:578). As god of the waters he parallels Idaspati, Narayana, Vishnu, and Varuna. Jambala (Tibetan: Dzambhala) is the God of wealth and appropriately a member of the Jewel family. His fat belly shows his prosperity and has a mongoose on his left thigh that vomits jewels as he squeezes it. In his right hand he holds a flaming wish-fulfilling jewel which is symbolic for the riches one attains with the wealth of spirituality. He is primarily black in color and has the stunted, thick form of a dwarf with a potbelly. He is seated sideways on a dragon with his right foot down and his knee up. In his white form, he is holding a trident and a scepter. Anyavathi: Picturing the many faceted Divine and symbolizing, in perceivable ways, the attributes that are evidenced in each facet, the seeker endeavours to acquire the Presence of the Divine. One Form of the Divine, the Omnipresent (Vishnu) is pictured as having the Conch (symbol of the Primeval word or Sound), the Wheel (symbol of Time) and the Mace (symbol of Might and Majesty). With the facet to which is ascribed the power and willingness to overcome obstacles (Vighneswara), the single tusk symbolizing sharpness and concentration is associated, Iswara or Siva (the facet of disintegration and dissolution) has the Soola or Trident (symbolizing in its three prongs, the Past, the Present and the Future). Rama, the form of righteousness or Dharma is always pictured with the Kodanda, the bow which can send the arrow (will) straight to the target, Krishna, the manifestation of Universal love, has on His crown a peacock feather, symbolizing the thousand-eyed, glance of Grace. He bears a flute on which He plays enthralling tunes; the flute is the symbol of the ego-less desire-less seeker. The facet of wisdom pictured as the Goddess Saraswathi, has a Veena in Her hand; the Veena is a stringed musical instrument, symbolic of heart-strings responding, with harmony and melody, to the gentle touch of the true, the good and the beautiful. Seekers meditate on these pleasing personifications and the significance of the symbols of their attributes and adore the Divine in the delight that wells up in their hearts. This is named Anyavathi Path - the Path through symbolised Divinity, Anya meaning the other, the adjunctory, the appurtenance. 11:9 · These signs are known as Jupiter's staff in Roman mythology. Jupiter was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Zeus and the Germanic god Woden or Odin. See , Odin's staff, in Group 24.     The sign for the fish spear,  or , is the staff of Poseidon (Greece) or of Neptune (Rome). Jupiter's staff is this staff doubled. If we remove the barbs from Jupiter's staff and turn it 90 degrees we are left with the graph for the zodiacal sign of Pisces. It is not surprising, then, that both Jupiter (according to the old tradition) and Neptune (according to modern astrology) are the ruling planets of Pisces.      The ideogram  is quite common on rock carvings from the neolithic age.     Compare the staff of Jupiter with the sign for the staff of the Assyric-Babylonian godhead Adad, . Whatever variation, all these staffs of the mightiest of the gods were associated with lightning, thunderstorms, and the power to agitate the waters. 5:1 · The graphic structure  was used in the earliest known runic alphabet, but was usually carved . In the antiquity this structure was a graph for the staff of Poseidon (Greece) or Neptune (Rome). It is usually drawn with the addition of barbs or flukes as a fish-spear, . Sometimes it has appeared as an iconic sign for paddle on prehistoric rock carvings and similar pictorial representations. In pictorial reproductions of hell from the Middle Ages the sign  was occasionally used to signify the spears used by the smaller devils or the Evil One, Satan himself, to torture and torment the poor human sinners in the hellfire. The sign  is related to both the element of water and its opposite, the element of fire (the polarity of meanings of elementary graphs). This also implies that it is related to thunderstorms with their combination of falling water and striking fire, , the lightnings, which together with its enormous accompanying sound, the thunder, is the ancient gods' primary expression of their power. Compare with  in Group 47.     This sign, like , is used in comic strips together with crossbones, exclamation marks, and ideograms for lighting and defecation, as signs for curses or great wrath.     There are several signs for staffs of thunder and lightning, held in the hands of gods on sculptures, pictures and hieroglyphic representations. Different types of staff signs are shown in entry   Poseidon got his trident staff as a weapon given to him by the three sons of Uranus Compare  with , the sign for Pisces, and with that of the planet Neptune, , both of whose structures are similar.     In both the French and the British system of hobo signs  means work or here they give you food if you work.    5:6 · The trident with barbs or flukes is a common sign for the staff of Poseidon or Neptune. See the entries  above, and  below in this group.     7:3 · Sign for thunder and lightning, and divine power from the Euphrates-Tigris region; the staff of Adad.     It is probably a graphic representation of a Group of flashes of lightning.     See also  in Group 11.  Zeus decided to punish humanity for its evil ways. Other Gods grieved at the destruction because there would be no beings to worship them. Zeus promised a new stock, a race of miraculous origin. He was going to use thunderbolts when he remembered one of Fate's decrees: that a time would come when sea and earth and dome of the sky would blaze up, and the massive structure of the universe would collapse in ruins. With Poseidon's help, he caused storm and earthquake to flood every part of the land except the summit of Mount Parnassus. When Zeus crushed the hanging clouds in his hand, there was a loud crash, and sheets of rain fell from heaven. The rivers began rushing to the sea. When Neptune struck the earth with his trident, the rivers raced across the plains. Sea and earth could no longer be distinguished; all was sea without any shores, covering every living being except for one fortunate couple, Deucalion and Pyrrha. Earlier, Deucalion and Pyrrha had consulted Themis at her oracular shrine. She warned of a future flood, and they prepared by acquiring a boat. In time, their boat ran aground on the summit of Mount Parnassus. (Note: This is the mountain at Delphi, "navel of the earth" and home of the great oracle.) Recognizing their piety, Zeus allowed them to live and withdrew the waters. It was then that Deucalion and Pyrrha remembered the other oracle given by Themis: to repopulate the world by throwing "behind you the bones of your great mother." Pyrrha didn't want to injure her mother's ghost by disturbing her bones. Prometheus soothed her fears. "Oracles are righteous and never advise guilty action..." They decided that the "bones" were stones in the body of the earth ("Great Mother"). They threw the stones, which became humans; men of the stones thrown by Deucalion; women, of those cast by Pyrrha. Animals were produced by earth of its own volition. According to Plato: "Many great deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years." The triquetra (from a latin word meaning "three cornered"), is an ancient symbol for the Trinity. It comprises three interwoven arcs, distinct yet equal and inseparable, symbolizing that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit who are three distinct yet equal Persons and indivisibly One God. Please remember that this figure is a diagram. The elements, the principles, of the kosmos are not really one above another, like a series of steps, or like the rungs of a ladder. This figure is a diagram only, that is, it is a symbol. The elements of the kosmos, the principles of  the kosmos, the spheres of the kosmos, are within each other, the most spiritual being the inmost. But this being impossible in representation on a plane surface, we have to figurate the idea schematically, diagrammatically, paradigmatically. Therefore this figure  merely shows first, that there are seven planes in kosmos. Let us next represent the evolving and originating life forces, the gods and the intelligences of the three higher planes, by a triangle, using the old Platonic and Pythagorean symbol -- a beautiful symbol -- because  it shows and suggests the originating point, the kosmic point, the seed, from which all divine things spring; and which shows the apex of the triangle also vanishing, as it were, through the highest plane, through a laya-center, a neutral center, a nirvana of all things less or lower than it, vanishing more inward into something higher. Exactly as a seed, an acorn, for instance, will bring forth an oak, in its turn shedding its harvest of acorns, so the kosmic seed sends forth from itself these hosts of hierarchies of beings, themselves producing other lower hosts on the downward scale. Let us then represent this process by a triangle. The four lower planes of the figure, which are the four lower kosmic planes, represent all the states that man can reach to in his present period of development. Our own atmic essence springs forth from the fourth kosmic plane, counting downwards. Further, let us next represent our planetary chain in the following manner, that is to say, by inscribing circles, seven of them, on these planes, two on each plane, with the exception of the lowest plane where we inscribe only one circle, representing our own globe Terra. Then, we number these circles respectively, beginning with the left and going downwards, A, B, C, D; and then going upwards, E, F, and G. Please note that there are two circles or globes on each plane, with the exception of globe D, our own. These seven "planes" are really the seven  kosmic elements respectively. Fundamentals of the Esoteric Philosophy by G. de Purucker chapter 35 NOTE: The 7 planes are the understanding of some of the various metaphysics groups which are teaching 'truth'.  There are many others who understand that there are more than 7 planes of reality. In the path of mankind, each has his own standard of truth as he is able to grasp and understand. This does not make anyone wrong. . .as those who believe in 7 planes can only achieve 7 planes of existence, thus they are correct. Those who understand the 12 planes of reality are able to achieve 12 planes and they are also correct. In the higher  realms everyone creates their own reality according to their beliefs and thus there is no right or wrong. Fundamentals of the Esoteric Philosophy by G. de Purucker chapter 7 Fundamentals of the Esoteric Philosophy by G. de Purucker chapter 11 9-12-97 - Dream. I typed all night.  Just as I was waking up, I saw the symbol for Shekinah (The female aspect of God) 1-8-98 - VISIONS: I saw a small magazine similar to FATE magazine. It was called THE OCCULT LOOK BOOK. I saw a large circle with a very small circle in the center. At the top was a triangle with the point towards the  enter, and little marks going out toward the rounded edge. Below that, it said, 2012, RETURN TO ZERO POINT. I saw a large circle with writing in each of the quadrants where clock numbers would be. I heard a voice say, "This is not going to work. This is not going to work!" Somehow I knew that Noah's Ark will actually be found. I saw something that was an "official counter" and heard bells tinkling very prettily. ~~~~~~~~~~~ 3-7-98 - DREAM - I was in a school-like place and it felt and seemed like we were all older teenagers. The boys were having contests of skill with each other. None of the girls were welcome to participate as we were considered too dumb or inept. I have forgotten what kind of game took place inside the school, but the second game was outside. Before I went to the game, I walked up to the 12th floor on a spiral staircase. This was also somewhat part of the game with one of the boys like "I dare you" type thing because girls can't do it. I accomplished this, then went back down and outside. It was a long walk from my 16th St. house to the location of the contest which was on Teutonia and Meinecke Aves. (I was actually baptized in a Lutheran church on that corner) I started walked and running and walking towards the location, but I felt as though I was going too fast, so  I stopped on 15th and Clark and just stood on the corner so it wouldn't seem I was too eager to show off.  While I stood there, a large white enclosed van sent by and went south on 15th St. He was delivering big screen white television sets to houses there. He saw me standing on the corner and I had been there a long time already so I decided I would continue my walk because I didn't want him to wonder why  I was there loitering. I hurried to the site of the contest where there was a huge triangle in the sky in the East. It was a right angled triangle with balls on the corners. It was shaped like: The contest was an attempt by the boys to somehow make the triangle become a: triangle. The boys were certain that I couldn't possibly accomplish this and wouldn't even let me try, so I went further north on Teutonia and stepped on a large button on the side of the road by the sidewalk which made two triangles pop into view in the sky in the East. The boys were not aware that I was even there, nor did they know that I could step on another button and change the triangles as I desired just with thought or step on the button and make them disappear from view completely because I had created them in the first place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4-10-99 - VISION - I saw two triangles...one from the left and one from the right. They came together, one  above the other, then I saw the number 172. (perhaps a timing number) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vision and Prophecy given to Raymond Aguilera on 11 November 1994 at 7:49 AM. A vision of a triangle with the corners sectioned off with an eye in the center.  Prophecy: The Lord said, "We are Three and We are watching. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."     THE TRIANGLE The equilateral triangle (as the single-axis symmetric triangle) is newer than ; ; ; , but older than, for example, the pentagramand the swastika. Seems hardly to have been used in prehistoric age, i.e., it is not seen on old rock carvings and cave paintings.  is first and foremost associated with the holy, divine number of 3.  Graphically, we can exemplify it with the opposites  and  , which when synthesized become .  Xenocrates, who died in 324 B.C., stated that the triangle was a symbol for God. In Christian symbolism it stands for the   Holy Trinity. It is also a symbol for power and, as such, related to danger. But according to the law of the polarity of meanings of the elementary graphs, it also means success, prosperity, and safety. The Hittites used it to mean well, good, or healthy. As is often the case with basic gestalts the two meanings are sometimes united in the same sign occurrence.  This is case when  is used as a traffic sign, where it indicates danger or a threat, but also safety for those who observe the sign. Both in Tibet and in European alchemy in the Middle Ages,  signified the element of fire. With a line added,  or  , it was transformed into the alchemical symbol for the element of air. The alchemical symbols for the element water  and the element earth . It can also be drawn   The symbolt of fire; , the air; and  representing ether or the fifth element. This sign represented the king in the Hittites hieroglyphic system. The above entry turned upside down is denoted woman in prehistoric times and was used by the Sumerians  from about 3000 B.C. Its adopts a negative spectrum of meaning. A sign representing a man. An ideogram that represents a woman with child, from the sign for woman. This sign is part of so-called family system. A sign meaning a family. It is a combination of the signs for woman, man, and woman with child.. An ideogram belonging to the same system with the last three ideograms. It represents a pregnant woman. This sign is used in meteorology to indicate rain showers. . In the case of the BEE, it is the number three which pervades its phenomena— In three days the egg of the queen is hatched. It is fed for nine days (3x3). It reaches maturity in 15 days (5x3). The worker grub reaches maturity in 21 days (7x3). And is at work three days after leaving its cell. The drone matures in 24 days (8x3). The bee is composed of three sections,— head and two stomachs. The two eyes are made up of about 3,000 small eyes, each (like the cells of the comb) having six sides (2x3). Underneath the body are six (2x3) wax scales with which the comb is made. It has six (2x3) legs. Each leg is composed of three sections. The foot is formed of three triangular sections. The antennae consist of nine (3x3) sections. The sting has nine (3x3) barbs on each side. Is this design? or is it chance? Why should it be the number three instead of any other number? No one can tell. We can only observe  the wondrous working of supernatural laws, and admire the perfection of design.   A follow up e-mail from Gary Val Tenuta - 11-26-99 TO: Dee Finally got around to visiting your new page about the number "3". Really, REALLY, superb! Fascinating as hell. Must have taken you countless hours. Couldn't resist a little number crunching while I was there. Here's what I found: Regarding... INTERPRETATION OF THE PAVING STONES: by Terrence Murphy The "key" is the three triangles and the quarter section. The quarter section represents the material or physical world. The triangles are the Spiritual worlds and the personal/ impersonal relationships existing therein. Four and three are seven: the perfection of man in Christ.  The significant directions are North and East.  The alphanumeric sum of NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST is 270, a number which reduces to 9 and is, of course, three 3's. But it so happens that the only combination of two directions that sums to a 3-number is NORTH and EAST: (NORTH)75 + (EAST)45 = 120 =1+2+0 = 3. Then somewhere on your page, or maybe it was on one of the pages you linked, there was a discussion about "the three children  of Anak". They were Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai. ANAK=27 (a base 10 harmonic of 270 as in NORTH+SOUTH+EAST+WEST), which reduces to 9, or three 3's. The alphanumeric sum of these three names (AHIMAN+SHESHAI+TALMAI) is 171, which reduces to 9, which is three 3's. And the phrase: "THE THREE CHILDREN OF ANAK" = 210 = 2+1+0 = 3 Again, either on your page or on one of the linked pages, there was a discussion on the three attributes of God: Love, Spirit, Light. (LOVE)54 + (SPIRIT)91 + (LIGHT)56 = 201 = 2+0+1 = 3 Also, the three phrases used on the page were: GOD IS LOVE (1John 4:8, 16) GOD IS SPIRIT (John 4:24) GOD IS LIGHT (1John 1:5) It just happens that the combined sum of these exact phrases reduces to 3: GOD IS LOVE=108 GOD IS SPIRIT=145 GOD IS LIGHT=110 108+145+110 = 363 = 12 = 3 There was also mention of "The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil". The alphanumeric value of that phrase is: THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL = 360. Not only does this reduce to 9 which is three 3's but it is also the number of degrees in a circle, as in full circle from "Good" to "Evil". And finally, from my web site Synchroni-City: The alpha-forms of the numbers 1 through 9: ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT NINE, divide up into three groups according to the number of letters in the word: Group 1 (three letters): ONE, TWO, SIX Group 2 (four letters): FOUR, FIVE, NINE Group 3 (five letters): THREE, SEVEN, EIGHT The total number of letters in the three groups is 14 and some of these letters are used more than once. The frequency count breaks  down like this: E-8, F-2, G-1, H-2, I-4, N-4, O-3, R-2, S-2, T-3, U-1, V-2, W-1, X-1 The sum of the frequency count is 36, which reduces to 9, which is three 3's. Again, the groups are divided into 3-letter words, 4-letter words, and 5-letter words: 3+4+5 = 12 = 3 There are only three of these words whose alphanumeric values reduce to 6, thus giving us the triple number 666. These three words  are FOUR, FIVE, and NINE (Group 2). The numeric forms of these three words add up to a significant holy number: 60(FOUR) + 42(FIVE) + 42(NINE) = 144, which reduces to 9, which is three 3's. Also, the sum of the numeric forms of the three words in each of the three groups total a number which reduces to 9, or three 3's, as shown here: Group 1: 1(ONE) + 2(TWO) + 6(SIX) = 9, three 3's Group 2: 4(FOUR) + 5(FIVE) + 9(NINE) = 18 = 9, three 3's Group 3: 3(THREE) + 7(SEVEN) + 8(EIGHT) = 18 = 9, three 3's Gary Trigono/metriX:  the Trigonometric Table and Ancient Reckoning By Charles William Johnson The Metaphysics of Music and Harmony The Rhythm of Number Three - Biblical The Logos and Man The Triad of the 4th Degree of the Knights of Columbus The Irish Fairies and Rainbows THE TRIPLE WELSH GODDESSES Dreams of the Triple Goddesses Dreams of the Triple Males The Origin of the Rosary Monads - Centers of Consciousness Kalahansa and Kalachakra Star of David Ministries The Celtic genius cucullatus The Five Pointed and Six Pointed Stars Alphanumeric Patterns Helen Blavatsky's writings on the Triad and Triangle Triad(s).

6-2-2001 - DREAM - I don't know where I was, but I came down a long hallway full of people and ahead of me, standing against the far wall was a man I've known and been friends with since I was 18 years old. I walked up close to him and looked into his face and his third eye burst into a huge pulsating star. THE THREE PHASES OF THE SUN (SON) Then the star grew until his entire face was a huge pulsating star.  REVELATION OF THE SUN TWO SUNS - THE CONNECTION TO 11:11 I looked into that pulsating star and I could see into the nighttime sky and saw there 5 pulsating stars which formed a 5 pointed star.  (See Below) I went up closer to him so we were face to face and as I looked into the star, I told him to look into my eyes, into the colored part. At that point, I could see in his face a reflection of what was written in the colored part of my eyes. On his face was written a printed prayer which I began to read.   As I read the prayer to the other people in this large room that was like an old fashioned church with benches for the people, they began reciting it too, as they knew it better than I did. It was a blessing for the world. The men's voices which were on the right behind me were the loudest. The women were seated on the left and the little children were in the center where I stood. I again walked up closer to the man again, who was wearing a maroon colored robe. I got down on my knees in front of the man, and lowered my head in a bow to the floor. It was then I could read on the bottom hem of the robe, that the prayer was from the Angelus, and it also said St. Ignatius Loyola and France. The dream then continued when I left there, we went to the man's house. I had a husband also, who looked similar to the airforce  Major Dad  guy in  the television show .   The man's wife was mad as hell that he had been gone so long and she didn't know where he had been. She started to swear at him and left the house. I could hear her walking away down the street swearing like I've never heard before. My husband started to laugh, 'another one down the street' or something similar.  It seemed that the man had a wife a week because no one could stand that he would leave the home without saying where he was going and show up the next morning with strangers from God knows where. We were going to make breakfast, and there were shallow, yellow and colored boxes on the table where the wife had bought dinner from some restaurant and brought it home for herself. I opened the box to see what it was, and there were two sunfish laying on their sides in the box, which were fried. They still had their heads, tails and fins on them.  One was at the 7 o'clock position and the other one in the 8 o'clock position. She had eaten the others.  (See notes below) Off to the side then, I saw a humungous fish tank, with 5 different colored fish in schools swimming around. The woman who was raising them was training them to do something. I could see lots of other fish in the tank as well, and I remembered my friend Michelle's fish tank, whose fish were always having babies. I remarked that I should get my own fish tank back out and get some fish.  (See below for human race notes) I went into another small room in the house like an ante-room by the front door. There were 12 Italian firemen in uniform singing something fabulous in Italian. They came to the end suddenly and sat in silence, listening. I said, "It seems that you are expecting the cops or a fireman to be at the door. I opened the door, and there stood a tall policeman, coming to tell the guys to get back to work.  (This was either the 12 Apostles or the Council of 12)  (The Intergalactic Council of Twelve includes beings from the Angelic and Extraterrestrial realms. The Star Command is a group of interplanetary representatives composed of extraterrestrials from many diverse universal cultures that act as a service department to the Light Brotherhood. ) I was standing there and the policeman threw a yellow towel over my face and he was playing with the outline of my nose through the towel, and the guys were laughing. He said, "I'll bet you can't guess where you are.  I was worried he was going to punch my nose or something, but I laughed back, "Yes I do, I can smell the garlic through the towel." NOTES: It took me most of the day to find the exact 5 pointed star cluster I was looking for. I finally found it in Pisces. Mythology Pisces - The Fishes Pisces, the Fishes, is a very old constellation, and is one of the original Zodiacal Constellations recognized in Ancient Times. In Greek and Roman mythology, this constellation represents the goddess Venus and her son Cupid, who transformed themselves into a pair of fish and jumped into the Nile River to escape from the monster Typhon. The images that concealed them were placed in the zodiac, where they are now known as Pisces, a lengthy double constellation occupying the region south of Andromeda and Pegasus and northwest of Cetus. Pisces acquired the title "Leaders of the Celestial Host" after precession brought the vernal equinox to a point south of the star Omega in the southwestern fish. In very ancient times, Pisces was known by the Babylonians as Nunu, or fish, and symbolized the Syrian goddess Derke as well as Atargatis, who was important to many ancient nations and depicted as a huge fish with a woman's head. Pisces was also significant to the early Christians, as it represented to them the "Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes" by which Jesus fed the multitudes. Pisces is the twelfth of the zodiacal constellations, and can be easily seen during early Autumn for Northern Hemisphere observers. Riding directly along the ecliptic, this constellation is now the location of the First Point of Aries, the point which the sun crosses the equator on its way north, thus marking the Vernal Equinox or the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Due to precession, the First Point of Aries has moved west into Pisces since it was first established in Ancient Times. Pisces contains few bright stars, and only one important object, the face on spiral galaxy M74. However, even though somewhat indistinct, this constellation can be easily made out with a bit of practice, as it is located to the south west of Andromeda and directly below the Great Square of Pegasus. Salmon - the Celtic fish of knowledge and mystic inspiration Two goldfish - signifying perfect wisdom, as embodied in the Buddha's eyes. In Indian tradition, the two fish represented the sacred Ganges and Yamuna rivers. Some Christians believe that a second link between their religion and the fish symbol is seen in the Greek word for fish (ichthus, spelled: Iota Chi Theta Upsilon Sigma). That is an acrostic for "Jesus Christ, of God, the Son, the Savior" [Iesous (Jesus) CHristos (Christ) THeou (of God) Uiou (the Son) Soter (the Savior)]. An acrostic is an "arrangement of words in which the first letter of each line ordinarily combines with others to form a word or words or the alphabet." 1 The Apostles were often referred to as "fishers of men". Followers of Christianity were called Pisciculi; the root of this Latin word is "fish". Emblems of the Savior - The Fish Pisces is usually depicted as two fish tied or joined together but swimming in opposite directions, and that image captures the essence of those born under this sign. The gifts given by celestial beings to Sakyamuni on his attainment of Enlightenment or Buddhahood, the white parasol protects one from evil desires. The two fish symbolize being rescued from the ocean of misery of earthly existence. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before any two units who are striving to attain a tie of affection can achieve the status of soul companions, it will take many incarnations that will bring out the best as well as the worst in their personal attitudes. When two egos start a circle, the beginning stages they go through are stormy and unpredictable. It takes them some time just to get the relationship started ground. These are beginners on the circle of life. Though we should all strive to become compatible with each other, all relationships do not necessarily become soul companions. When two people strive towards completing their circle it takes struggle and hard work. We refer to the circle because symbollically it explainins how the journey begins and ends upon completion. First Quarter/ 1 o'clock- 2 o'clock -3 o'clock = Too many repulsions to consider. Second Quarter/ 4 o'clock -5 o'clock -6 o'clock = Becoming more aware of each other's needs, yet still selfishly imposing individual will. Third Quarter/ 7 o'clock -8 o'clock - 9 o'clock = Starting to really bend, and learn from each other. Fourth Quarter/ 10 o'clock - 11 o'clock - 12 o'clock = Self Explanatory." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The number 7 - From earliest times this number was associated with celestial beings and spiritual forces; seven days in a week, the seven known planets (including the sun and the moon); the 7 evil spirits, the seven levels of a ziggurat (astral tower built by the Babylonians--the most famous being the Tower of Babel); according to St. Augustine, seven symbolized the perfection of God--he created the world and rested n the seventh day; Christian life is ordered by seven; seven capital sins, seven virtues, seven sacraments. Seven is the number of completion. It represents time, space, duration, and distance. It also represents old age, death, or enduance, and immortality. The number seven represents "spiritual perfection."(1) In Hebrew, the number seven (shevah) comes from the root word savah, which means "to be full or satisfied, have enough of." The number seven often venerates these ideas. On the seventh day, God rested from the work of creation since it was full, complete, good and perfect.  (More) The number 8 - the first number after seven, the symbol of life, the new life after baptism (both in pagan and Christian times). In Christian belief, the resurrection of Christ happens on the eighth day. The octagon is the favored form for the baptismal font. Eight is the number of dissolution. It denotes the law of cyclic evolution, the breaking back of the natural to the spiritual.  (More) Ningal - the consort of Sin, the mother of Shamash also called Ishtar (Ishhara, Irnini, Inanna) She is Anu's second consort, daughter of Anu and Antum, (sometimes daughter of Sin), and sometimes the sister of Ereshkigal. She is the goddess of love, procreation, and war. She is armed with a quiver and bow. Her symbol is eight or sixteen-pointed star Sacred number: 15 Astrological region: Dibalt (Venus) and the Bowstar (Sirius) Sacred animal: lion, (dragon) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As recently as 1962, Carleton Coon, a prominent anthropologist, published a best-selling book called The Origin of Races, which neatly divided human beings into five "races" he called Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Australoid, Negroid, and a group he called Capoid (named for the Cape of Good Hope). In this last category, Coon lumped together southern tribes, like the Bushmen and Hottentots, and some tribes from eastern Africa who had dark skin but did not otherwise fit well into his description of Negroid people. He speculated that since there were pygmies among them, perhaps they had a genetic propensity to shrink. Coon argued that these races were descendants of five different subspecies of humans that had existed in the Middle Pleistocene era and had evolved independently into races of Homo sapiens. According to Coon, the Caucasoids, who he believed had evolved first, were by implication a bit further up the ladder of civilization. Coon, like most physical anthropologists, based his distinctions among races on observable characteristics such as skin and eye color, facial features and body shape-what contemporary biologists call the phenotype. Today, human geneticists have begun to group people according to less visible markers-the genes we carry on the chromosomes in each of our cells. Biologists call this the genotype.  (DNA) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This dream is called, "My Funny Nose" 6-2-2001 - DREAM - I was working in an apartment building. It seems I was the cleaning lady.  I went into an occupied apartment with a light blue vacuum cleaner. I also had a video camera with me. I wanted to take a picture of myself vacuuming. I decided to go into the livingroom where the light was brightest.  However, when I tried to take my own picture with the camera, I could see that doesn't really work. My arms were too short to get a good shot of me with the vacuum cleaner. I could either take a shot of my face or the vacuum but not both together. I would need someone else to take the film. All of a sudden, the people who lived in this apartment came in. They didn't see me because they went directly into the bedroom.  I could hear them talking to each other, but it was rather muffled. The husband was singing and humming and changing clothes and the wife was also. She said she was going out with the girls and left the apartment.  The husband then came into the hallway to get a shirt out of the hallway closet. He pulled out a blue and white checkered shirt and put it on.  (See notes below) The man didn't see me until he had his shirt on and started to button it. It was then I recognized the man, it was the same man from the previous dream.  I had known him since I was 18 years old. We were very good friends for many, many years. He continued to hum a beautiful tune and we sat on the couch together. I was leaning against him while he hummed and I was looking at some little children's size books, which had pictures around the edges and the words in the center. They were little children's prayer books. I turned around to look at his face and his face was changing. I could see he wasn't who he really said he was, and his face was smaller and wooden-like, similar to a statue I've seen in the past.  (The Song Wooden Jesus) I said to him, despite the wooden statue appearance of his face, "You are so beautiful." He then said to me in a changed voice, deep and rather rumbling, "You know now I'm not the person you always thought I was. My name is 'IESOUS' (Jesus) of Nazareth and I have a mission for you to fulfill."  The little book in my hand then became a tall, slim book of prayers. (See notes below) I then saw a vision of 4 red symbols. I tried to quickly see what they were, but I could only recognize the last one. It was a heart with a nail through it and bleeding. NOTES: There doesn't seem to be any reason why this dream is called 'My Funny Nose', but it was named that before I woke up.  Perhaps the dream was called the funny nose because the guy was poking at my nose in the first dream such as you play with children... and tell them you got their nose... perhaps it is saying that my mission is right in front of my nose... and it's the second dream.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ White has always been a symbol of purity and freshness. The white background stands for our new and pure life; the seven stars are the seven working hours. The mention of the combination of blue and white has been traced back to a poem called "Zivei Erez Yehudah" written in the middle 19th century by L.A. Frankl. It says there, "All that is sacred will appear in these colors: White - as the radiance of great faith Blue - like the appearance of the firmament." Blue has always been a symbol of royalty. Biblical injunction of wearing tzitzit (fringes on cornered garments) calls for a strand of "techelet" or blue-died cloth. The techelet is meant to remind the Jew of the color of the sky (hence the "firmament" mentioned above) which is ultimately supposed to remind him of God. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Greek alphabet has 26 letters, each one with a different numerical value. The Greek spelling of Jesus is IESOUS. The numerical value of IESOUS = 888 which represents The Spiritual Sun or Solar Logos. The physical sun = 666 "In the beginning was the Logos" the Gospel of John states, and in the words of the Logos itself, "I am the Light of the World."  All those who are born into the world is outwardly illuminated by the physical sun, but only those wh otrun their attention back to the world of first principles are inwardly enlightened by the Spiritual Sun of the Logos. The early Christians maintained that IESOUS was "a name above all names".

Angelus [Lat.,=angel], daily prayer of the Roman Catholic Church, said usually three times daily, as announced by a bell, traditionally at six in the morning, at noon, and at six in the evening. It is said in honor of the Incarnation and consists of three repetitions of the Hail Mary together with verses and a prayer. It takes its name from the opening word of the Latin version: Angelus Domini nuntiavit Mariae [the angel of the Lord declared unto Mary]. In Roman Catholic Europe when the Angelus tolls (at morning, noon, and evening), it rings 3 + 3 + 3 and then 9 times, incelebration of the Virgin's conception of the Savior. The recited prayer at those junctures, "The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Ghost ... and THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH ..." St. Ignatius Loyola had decided that he wanted to go to Jerusalem to live where our Lord had spent his life on earth. As a first step he began his journey to Barcelona. Though he had been converted completely from his old ways, he was still seriously lacking in the true spirit of charity and Christian understanding, as illustrated by an encounter he had with a Moor on his way. The Moor and he came together on the road, both riding mules, and they began to debate religious matters. The Moor claimed that the Blessed Virgin was not a virgin in her life after Christ was born. Ignatius took this to be such an insult that he was in a dilemma as to what to do. They came to a fork in the road, and Ignatius decided that he would let circumstances direct his course of action. The Moor went down one fork. Ignatius let the reins of his mule drop. If his mule followed the Moor, he would kill him. If the mule took the other fork he would let the Moor live. Fortunately for the Moor, Ignatius' mule was more charitable than its rider and took the opposite fork from the Moor. He proceeded to the Benedictine shrine of Our Lady of Montserrat, made a general confession, and knelt all night in vigil before Our Lady's altar, following the rites of chivalry. He left his sword and knife at the altar, went out and gave away all his fine clothes to a poor man, and dressed himself in rough clothes with sandals and a staff. The full Biography

L'Angelus L'Angelus est une prière en trois versets, en l'honneur de l'incarnation du Christ. Un Ave Maria suit chaque verset et une oraison conclut le tout. L'Angelus se récite trois fois par jour, le matin, le midi et le soir au signal d'une sonnerie de cloche appelée elle aussi Angelus (trois fois trois coups suivis d'une sonnerie en volée). L'Ange du Seigneur annonça à Marie. Et elle conçue du Saint Esprit. Je vous salue Marie... Voici la servante du Seigneur. Qu'il me soit fait selon ta parole. Je vous salue Marie... Et le Verbe s'est fait chair. Et il a habité parmi nous. Je vous salue Marie... Priez pour nous, Sainte Mère de Dieu. Afin que nous soyons dignes des promesses de Jésus-Christ. Prions : Répands, Seigneur ta grâce en nos coeurs, afin qu'ayant connu par la voie de l'Ange l'Incarnation de Jésus-Christ ton Fils, nous arrivions par sa passion et sa croix à la gloire de la résurrection. Par le même Jésus-Christ notre Seigneur.  Amen.

St. Ignatius Loyola   Ignatius counselled his Jesuits (technically neither monks nor friars, but priests regular) to proceed with charity and moderation, "without hard words or contempt for people's errors." He died suddenly on 31 July 1556. His writings include the following prayers: Teach us, good Lord, to serve thee as thou deservest; to give, and not to count the cost, to fight, and not to heed the wounds, to toil, and not to seek for rest, to labor, and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do thy will. Prayer (traditional language) O God, by whose grace thy servant Ignatius, enkindled with the fire of thy love, became a burning and a shining light in thy Church: Grant that we also may be aflame with the spirit of love and discipline, and may ever walk before thee as children of light; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth, one God, now and for ever. Almighty God, from whom all good things come, who didst call Ignatius of Loyola to the service of thy Divine majesty and to find thee in all things: Inspired by his example and strengthened by his companionship, may we labor without counting the cost and seek no reward other than knowing that we do thy will; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever. Prayer (contemporary language) O God, by whose grace your servant Ignatius, enkindled with the fire of your love, became a burning and a shining light in your Church: Grant that we also may be aflame with the spirit of love and discipline, and may ever walk before you as children of light; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Almighty God, from whom all good things come, who called Ignatius of Loyola to the service of your Divine majesty and to find you in all things: Inspired by his example and strengthened by his companionship, may we labor without counting the cost and seek no reward other than knowing that we do your will; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever. Psalm 34:1-8  1 Corinthians 10:31-1:11  Luke 9:57-62 (St3)

A PRAYER FOR AMERICA Father, we beg Your blessing for the Right to Life, the Unborn, the weak, the sick and the old; all who are finding themselves being targets of the vicious culture of death; that our Lord Jesus bless and protect all who stand up for the Christian dignity of persons. That God enlighten those who are traveling down death's highway by their involvement, in any way, with either the contemporary death culture, selfism, relativeism, or any of the new age errors of our times, that God envelop our culture with His Divine protection and help us both individually and as a nation to true enlightenment, conversion and repentance of our selves and our culture. Help us to turn from our national sin of abortion, and return to, and once again become a Christian nation, on the narrow road, that is, the path to becoming a nation and culture, under God. Amen.

Sacred Numbers to Resuscitate the Dead -  Lazarus and Awakening the Giant Part One by Joseph E. Mason,  with help from Dee Finney, and Other Dreamers


Prelude of Clues
click on the graphic images for more information

Salvador Dali's Last Supper features a   mirror image effect with Jesus centered   in a pentagram portion of a dodecahedron.	Recent data indicates that    the universe is shaped like   a soccer ball, a dodecahedron    with a mirror effect.

This is Leonardo da Vinci's painting   of the Last Supper. It also seems to   contain sacred geometry, and coded   symbols and numbers. I have traced   several parts in yellow to illustrate.

Clues
Quotes from various linked pages

Dali stated that his painting was an "arithmetic and philosophical cosmogony based on the paranoiac sublimity of the number twelve . . . the pentagon contains microcosmic man: Christ."

---------------------------------

(Excerpts from the article about the universe being shaped like a soccer ball)

The best explanation for these observations is that the cosmos is a Poincaré dodecahedral space, says a team led by Jeffrey Weeks, an independent mathematician based in Canton, New York. Mathematical models of a spherical, solid Universe edged by 12 curved pentagons produce the patterns seen in the background radiation without any special fine-tuning. "It fits the data surprisingly well," says Weeks.

The dodecahedron is "a nice solution", agrees cosmologist Janna Levin of the University of Cambridge, UK. 
(skip)

A journey of 60 billion light years across a dodecahedral Universe would bring you right back to Earth. Like a circumnavigation of the globe, it would be a seamless ride: there would be no obvious point at which one 're-entered' the Universe.

The most distant objects would be visible in opposite directions, although they would be seen at different ages. Trying to spot the same galaxy in two different places "would be like trying to recognize the same person viewed at age 50 face-on, and at the age of 7 from the top of their head, in a crowd of billions," says Weeks.

---------------------------------

My comments: This seems somewhat like a "mirror" universe. This concept of the universe was known long ago -

Jesuitry and Masonry (5 of 6)

(excerpt)

In the now popular jargon, "Operative Masons" are understood to be the bricklayers and the handicraftsmen, who composed the Craft down to Sir Christopher Wren's time; and "Speculative Masons," all members of the Order, as now understood. The sentence attributed to Jesus, "Thou art Peter ... upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" disfigured, as it is, by mistranslation and misinterpretation, plainly indicates its real meaning. We have shown the signification of Pater and Petra, with the hierophants -- the interpretation traced on the tables of stone of the final initiation, was handed by the initiator to the chosen future interpreter. Having acquainted himself with its mysterious contents, which revealed to him the mysteries of creation, the initiated became a builder himself, for he was made acquainted with the dodecahedron, or the geometrical figure on which the universe was built. To what he had learned in previous initiations of the use of the rule and of architectural principles, was added a cross, the perpendicular and horizontal lines of which were supposed to form the foundation of the spiritual temple, by placing them across the junction, or central primordial point, the element of all existences, representing the first concrete idea of deity. Henceforth he could, as a Master builder (see I Cor. 3:10), erect a temple of wisdom on that rock of Petra, for himself; and having laid a sure foundation, let "another build thereon."

---------------------------------

Overview Note

This article will show connections between various symbols. A primary set of symbols concern our perception of the reality. One form is ancient, yet still appears in dreams and coincidences. It is the "dome of the world" shape formed by the circle of the horizon with the sky canopy. In three dimensions this can be shown as an Omphalos Stone (see graphic below).

The dome is our perception when standing on a surface, such as the planet Earth. In space, the shape of our perception can be represented as a space-time sphere. The soccer ball (international football) dodecahedrons illustrated above are one form of such a perception sphere.

We are finding,  by dream-coincidence and research, more and more symbols that may have a similar meaning, such as a domed building, an umbrella, a grandfather clock, an arched doorway, a jukebox, one's house, and the Siva-linga of Eastern religions.

The start of this search for the meaning of the dome shape came from a dream told to me by Jeff in 1990. It is apparent that our dome-perception Omphalos Stone will undergo a change:

I was on a starship in space with other people. An extremely important message was trying to come in but it couldn't until we first ejected the garbage. I ran frantically and managed to eject it. The message came in over a console with lights flashing. A doctor appeared and led the crew into a bedroom. He began to work on a yard-high mound of jelly-like substance at the foot of the empty bed. Suddenly, I saw a human-sized hand puppet, a male/female pair with only one hand-hole. They fell back into a vat of water. I went over and looked down at them under the water and knew they had to change. They had to change.

A related theme to be examined in this article is the symbolic meaning of being dead, asleep, or not awake. Often this seems to involve a male or male god who is dead and laying in a prone position, while a female or goddess is above or on top of him. With the awakening or resurrection, the male stands up alive. This general theme is quite universal throughout the word, but there are variations.

This strange symbolism seems to be speaking about humanity. The god and the goddess may represent the dual consciousness of mankind. In Jeff's dream above, the duality change symbol was in the from of the puppet pair undergoing a baptism. The healed dome will "jell" here in time, turn into stone, so-to-speak. Jeff had another dream prior to the one above, in which a paratrooper dressed in white came down from the sky and made him stand up from his prone position.

The dome of the world or Omphalos symbol connects with the duality symbol through the ancient Eastern idea that the phallus implanted in the vagina represents the all-pervading space of the universe.

The meaning behind this may be related to messages to the effect that we each create our own reality individually, yet there is an en mass nature to it by a higher level agreement. One could picture this symbolically as many domes connected together by threads of Spider Grandmother into a big web.

An Eastern symbol for this is Indra's Net, which is a "net of jewels" (or pearls) ,each of which reflects like a mirror and contains the reflection of each of the others. The Internet World Wide Web is a similar modern symbol.

The cycle of laying down dead seems related to the time cycle in the lower three levels of consciousness, associated with the chakras. The critical leap is from the third chakra to the fourth. The third chakra at the solar plexus, is basically the ego-centered will to succeed, and is represented by a ten petaled lotus flower and by the color yellow. The fourth chakra is at the heart, where love and compassion and a realization of our connectedness is realized. It is represented as a twelve petaled lotus flower and the color green.

This critical leap is often shown as three and one half, as the midpoint of seven. In some cases it seems to be represented as the fourth step. Somewhat paradoxically, it appears that seven steps or stages has a similar meaning.

There are hints that the seven days of creation are not over, and that we are not yet "man" with free will.

We are not entirely clear as to the meaning of the message of this "standing up" or revival from the dead of the male or male "god." We hope that the meaning will become more clear as the future unfolds. But, it certainly seems to be of a grand Cosmic magnitude. And, it may be just a few years away.

More Clues


Keys: 
the dead = not awake
Sardis = one of seven symbolic churches
soiled garments = dead, asleep 
white = the awakened

" I know your works; you have the name      of being alive, and you are dead.      Awake, and strengthen what remains      and is on the point of death . . ."    "Yet you have still a few names in Sardis,      people who have not soiled their garments;       and they shall walk with me in white,      for they are worthy."                                                             Revelation 3:1-4

Clue to the time of the awakening:

"The year of the great seventh number accomplished,       it will appear at the time of the games of slaughter,      not far from the age of the great millennium,      when the dead will come out of their graves."                                                Nostradamus, Century 10, Q74

Clue to the 11:11 association with awakening

"Thus he spoke, and then he said to them, 'Our friend Lazarus        has fallen asleep, but I go to awake him out of sleep.'"                                                                                                 John 11:11

Another clue to the 11:11 association with awakening

"For three days and a half men from the peoples and tribes and tongues     and nations gaze at their dead bodies and refused to let them be placed in     a tomb, and those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and make     merry and exchange presents, because these two prophets had been a     torment to those who dwell on the earth."                                                                                                                         Revelation 11:9, 10   "But after the three and a half days a breath of life from God entered them,      and they stood up on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them."                                                                                                             Revelation 11:11

Numeric clue: The midpoint of the seven chakras, or three and a half, 
is a universal elementary idea found worldwide. The midpoint is 
the heart chakra, which has the color green, and is symbolized 
by a twelve petal lotus flower with a Star of David inside. The 
English Alphanumeric of "green" is 49.

11:11 clue indicating the year, hour, and minute of the end of the cycle

2012	month	day	hour		2012	month	day	hour	minute		month	day	hour	minute
Perihelion	Jan	5	00		Equinoxes	Mar	20	05	14		Sept	22	14	49
Aphelion	July	5	03		Solstices	June	20	23	09		Dec	21	11	11

In the 28 years listed on the page from which the above table was taken, only the one 11:11 universal time is given. The end of the Mayan calendar falls on December 21, 2012. That is the famous "End Date" -

The How and Why of the Mayan End Date in 2012 A.D.
http://www.levity.com/eschaton/Why2012.html

Perhaps it is significant that 100 years after the sinking of the Titanic, the Mayan end date comes. A common factor seems to be the 11:11 AM times of the end of World War One on 11-11-1918 and the exact moment of the Mayan cycle end.

Clue to the 11:11 association with Lost Tribes.

"In that day the Lord will extend his hand yet a second time to recover    the remnant which is left of his people, from Assyria, from Egypt, from    Pathros, from Ethiopia, from Elam, from Shinar, from Hamath, and from    the coastland of the sea."                                                                                                    Isaiah 11:11

On March 11, 1992 ,a voice spoke in my dream, saying, "Cycle of time . . . [long pause] . . . to identify the Lost Tribes." I saw an image of a circular swirled pattern.

Seven years later, on July 4, 1999, a similar pattern appeared as a crop circle formation near Hackpen Hill, near Broad Hinton, Wiltshire. It was called the Crescent Vortex. The geometry of the formation was similar to a pattern developed by Wolfgang Held, showing the zones of total solar eclipses over a period of time, called, "Saros-Cycle 145."

I have found that other people have had dreams about the Lost Tribes.

On August 11, 1999, an amazing solar eclipse took place, along with a "Grand Cross" alignment of the planets. The "Diamond Ring Effect" happened at 11:11 AM over Cornwall, England. Coincidentally, there are many legendary connections to the Lost Tribes related to Cornwall and Great Britian.

The terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 also seemed to be a symbolic event. The 11:11 was one part of it. The Lost Tribes were another part.

Part of this symbolic story relates to Joseph Smith and the Mormons, along with the city of Salt Lake, Utah. Great Britan and the USA symbolically represent the two sons of the Biblical Joseph, the eleventh son of Jacob.

Crop Circle & Scientific Clues

Key to a triplet number

Click on images for more information

288 Lock	156 Key	Key in Lock 444

Clue: Compare the above to science:

Diagrams from D.G.Leahy's   The Golden Bowl   Structure: The  Platonic Line,  Fibonacci, and Feigenbaum

Professor Leahy had a dream which helped   him with his theory. In the dream he had a key   with the number 2808 on it.   Another key number in his calculations is 82944,   as related to to the the 'God Particle'.

The diagrams of the two crop circle formations above, labeled "288 Lock" and "156 Key" suggest a series of combined numbers related to triplet numbers. Note that if one quarter of each formation are combined, the result is 39 + 72 = 111. Therefore, obviously, one half gives 78 + 144 = 222.

The number 82944 is the square of 288. And, incredibly, 39 x 72 = 2808, the number on the key in Professor Leahy's dream!

One way to look at this set of numbers is:

1 x 72 or 2 x 36 = 72 with 39 ( 3 x 13 or 2 x 19.5) gives 72 + 39 = 111 (37 x 3)

The table below gives numbers that go together in a similar manner to make all the triplets:

72x	or	36x	=	with	39x	or	13x	or	19.5x	gives						or	37x
1		2	72		1		3		2		72	+	39	=	111		3
2		4	144		2		6		4		144	+	78	=	222		6
3		6	216		3		9		6		216	+	117	=	333		9
4		8	288		4		12		8		288	+	156	=	444		12
5		10	360		5		15		10		360	+	195	=	555		15
6		12	432		6		18		12		432	+	234	=	666		18
7		14	504		7		21		14		504	+	273	=	777		21
8		16	576		8		24		16		576	+	312	=	888		24
9		18	648		9		27		18		648	+	351	=	999		27

The numbers on the left side are based on five-fold and ten-fold designs, such as the pentagon or pentagram, a five-pointed star. Keep in mind that the universe may be based on this type of geometry, as a dodecahedron has twelve pentagons. Five-pointed stars appear frequently as crop circle formations. In a number of cases, a pair of such stars  appear interlaced. In other cases the single star had other details that indicated a circle divided into ten parts:

Crop circle that appeared 15 July 1997 at Bishop Canning, near Devizes,  Wiltshire	Freddie Silva's Geometric   analysis of the 1998   Beckhampton formation

I put the yellow color in the image on the right to show the similarity to the images at the top of this page. According to Andy Thomas, in his excellent book, Vital Signs, on page 71 -

"Observing previous pentagram formations, Michael Glickman had noticed that in every case one point of the star would point precisely south."

Freddie Silva's dowsing analysis         of the 1998 Beckhampton formation	The result of Joe Mason's 1994 dream -  The Gematrian Wheel

I feel that this is an important observation on Michael's part. It seems to support the idea that the directions are being placed consistently, perhaps indicating that the 360 degrees of a circle should come to our attention. My dream in 1994 indicated such a circle divided into ten parts of 36 degrees each. Each of the numbers at those locations are part of the ancient "Gematrian" numbering system. Full circles repeat the same numbers by a factor of ten (360, 720 , 1080, etc.

Around the year 1994, I noticed that three diagrams in The Sacred Symbols of Mu, page 235, depected spiders as having a cross shape on their backs. The Hopi creation myth also shows Spider Grandmother with a cross on her back. The inspiration came to me to draw Spider Grandmother over the Gematrian Wheel:

The eight legs fall on the Gematrian points that have the primary tangents, other than zero. The top at zero degrees or 360 degrees has a zero tangent, as does the bottom at 180 degrees. The other eight points, where the legs of the spider touch, have four tangents. If the plus and minus signs are ignored, there are just two tangents. When the two tangents are multiplied, the result is the square root of five. For example:

  Tangent of 36 = 0.7265425280054
Tangent of 72 = 3.077683537175

0.7265425280054 x 3.077683537175 = 2.2360679775
                                      Square root of 5 = 2.2360679775

According to Carl Munck, the square root of five is the tangent of the speed of light in air!

In his book about the symbols of Mu, Colonel James Churchward reported that he came across legends about the Grey and Black Pointed Spider in the South Sea Islands some fifty years prior. He had difficulty understanding the meaning. The legends were "too obtuse," he wrote, giving examples:

There the Grey and Black Pointed Spider would have mounted to Heaven, but he was held back by the bitterness of the cold.

The roads were cunningly constucted to represent the web of the Grey and Black Pointed Spider, and no man could discover the beginning or end thereof.

My study of dreams suggest that various symbols indicating temperature can refer to the coldness or warmth of a person's heart.

James Churchward wrote that a friend, Dr. Thomas M. Stewart, of Cincinnati, Ohio, helped him to understand the symbolic meaning of the spider, by showing him relics found in the burial vaults of the Mound Builders of Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee. On the backs of spider images engraved on pieces of shells, were the cross type shapes indicating the Four Great Forces. Similar images were on pottery recovered from the ancient ruined cities in Crete, Cyprus and ancient Troy in Asia Minor. The four forces of science are electromagnatism, gravity, the strong atomic force, and the weak atomic force.

The image of the map on the right, above, is from David Flynn's book, Cydonia: The Secret Chronicles of Mars. The caption reads:

Megaliths on the earth seem to be related to each other, built along a "grid" composed of two pentagrams within the circle of the equator. All the monuments fall into place along this grid if one pentagram is "anchored" at Giza & one at the Prime Meridian at 0 longitude. Too many major architectural structures exist along this dual-pentagram design for it to be mere coincidence.This design predicts where megalithic structures will be found, as well.

David is the creator of the great web site:

Top: Crop Formation at   Froxfield, 4 August 1994  Bottom: Mega Glyph crop  circle 2001 with 409 circles	Top: Flower (seed) of Life with chakra   colors   Bottom: Symbolic illustration of Peter   and 6 Disciples in boat, from John 21

Large clue: The English Alphanumerics 
for the seven chakra colors add to 409. 
The number 409 can be shown as 360 + 49. 
The ancient number 360 is used as degrees to 
segment full circles. The word "chakra" means 
"wheel." Remember from above, "green" adds 
to 49 and represents the heart chakra.  
(see table of numbers for the Mega Glyph below)

Clue: The central circle representing 
Peter the Rock, above, is the:

originally at Delphi

Omphalos Stone,  Navel or Hub  of the World

The yellow outline of the dome shape on the picture of the painting of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, above, is intended to show that the great man my have encoded an omphalos shape into the arrangement. The design on the rectangular ceiling above the figures appears to be a six by six grid, like the "Magic Square of the Sun" (see below). The entire arrangement could correspond to the Tree of Life, with its three pillars.

Franz Gnaedinger created a comprehensive article analyzing Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper -

Broken Perspective

	"As you looked, a stone was  cut out by no human hand, and it  smote the image on its feet of iron   and clay, and broke them in pieces."  Daniel 2:34  "But the stone that struck the image   became a great mountain and  filled the whole earth."  Daniel 2:35
Old Sarum   crop circle	Daniel interprets the frightening   image dream of King Nebuchadnezzar,   as symbolic of the Ages.	A diagram of the   Tree of Life, which   appeared as a crop circle

Clues: The lower sphere of the Tree of Life, Malkuth the Kingdom Earth, 
is another symbol of the Omphalos Stone. It is also symbolized by the 
legendary Jacob's Pillar Stone or the Stone of Scone, which was returned 
to Scotland in recent years. The ancient Gematrian number associated 
with it is 1296, which is six to the fourth power 6 x 6 x 6 x 6. Forms of 
the number 153 are also related, such as 513. Note that 153 + 513 = 666, 
and that 360 added to twice 153 = 666. I believe this "scary" number is 
not simply "evil," but is related to mankind. The number is related to the 
Magic Square of the Sun, based on the number six, as a 6 x 6 grid 
with the numbers 1 through 36 in the boxes. Adding all the numbers 
results in 666. Adding a row or column results in 111. The corner 
diagonals add to 37 (1 + 36 and 6 + 31). 


1   35    34    3    32    6    30  8   28  27  11 7 24 23 15 16 14 19 13 17 21 22 20  18   12 26 9 10 29 25 31 2 4 33 5 36 The Magic Square of the Sun

The crop circle formation that appeared at Old Sarum in 1992 may be somewhat 
similar in meaning, with the lower glyph as the Omphalos of Earth. It may 
well represent the frightening images that King Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. 
In that sense, the lower glyph would represent the stone that shattered the image 
of the past ages and became the great mountain that filled the whole earth.

Old Sarum was known for a unique liturgical rite known as "Sarum Use" or "The 
Use of Sarum," which is based on the mystical-spiritual insights of St. Osmund and 
his assistants. Spiritual rulerships are assigned to each of the seven days of the week. 
This was expressed as votive masses. Astalea writes that "The Use of Sarum" contains 
a reflection of  profound knowledge of the Seven Rays; their qualities and purposes. .

Introduction

  When I first read the above words from Revelation 3:1-4 in 1991, I was shocked, because, about a year prior, my friend, Jeff, had told me a dream where his white garments became soiled.

In the years since that time, many clues have come that seem to verify that we are in the times of Revelation, when information is being revealed that was previously hidden.

This article reports a few of the clues that seem connected. A primary part of the focus, in addition to the Omphalos, is on the symbolic meaning of the dead rising up alive. One form of this is awaking the "sleeping giant." Some fear that this may refer to a massive explosion of the world's largest caldera in Yellowstone.

The clues here fit with Yellowstone as a possible symbol of explosive changes in human consciousness and ways of being. In this sense, it may relate to the Omphalos Stone as the central hub or navel of the world.

Clues of the sleeping giant hint that this may be the United States in a human body form with chakra centers. In this sense, Yellowstone may be the third chakra, which is located near the navel and has a base color of yellow.

My feeling is that the entire world is involved in the awakening, and that the USA connection is more of a localized representation of all humanity. Other locations, of course, are figured to have chakra centers. The Avebury Stone circle in England has been considered an Omphalos, and some say this has passed on to Glastonbury, where legend says the Holy Grail is located at the bottom of Chalice Well.

-----

The Spider Web formation of 1994 that appeared next to Avebury Stone circle also suggests a circle divided into ten parts:

ANCIENT BRITAIN & EARLY KINGS
http://www.angelfire.com/ego/et_deo/ancientbritain.wps.htm

[excerpts]

The altar-stone which doubled as a coronation-throne in the Bronze Age Glastonbury Temple may be comparable to the "Stone of Olenos", which was in the Greek Temple of Delphi; or to the "Even Shetiyah Stone" ["Jacob’s Pillar-Stone"], which was the base stone upon which set the "ark-of-the-covenant" in the Hebrew Temple at Jerusalem; or to the "omphalos" [= "navel stone"], which was the base stone of the high-altar in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre upon which set the "Holy Grail" before the vessel’s disappearance. Legend says that the sacred-stone fell to earth from Heaven when a meteor was seen burning in the night sky. The stone is called "Lapis Exillis" or "Stone Fallen from the Sky" in medieval romance. It was in fact a meteorite that had been cut four-square and treated as a sacred object. This stone is today one of five sacred stones in the British Isles. The "Stone of Scone", also called the "Stone of Unction", the "Stone of Destiny", etc., formerly encased in the base of St. Edward’s Throne, the coronation-chair of British monarchs in Westminster Abbey, at London, England, is believed by some to be the inauguration stone of the Pictish kings when Scone became their capital city, and continued in use when the Scottish dynasty took over. It may have been placed in a chair, as formerly in St. Edward’s Throne, for we find in Pictish artwork chairs or thrones with kings seated upon them. Then, others believe that the "Stone of Scone" is to be identified with "Jacob’s Pillar-Stone", which was originally brought to Ireland by Jewish refugees following the Babylonian conquest of Judea, whom they say the Scots are their descendants.

There is a calculated design behind what appears to be a random arrangement of stones throughout the country which are aligned both to one another and to the movement of the planets and stars as a gigantic astronomical hologram of the skies above the earth below. Too, the whole of Britain is criss-crossed with a network of invisible straight lines called "leys," or "ley-lines." Some have drawn comparisons with a Chinese system of landscape called Feng-Shui. The ley-lines are suppose to trace the veins and arteries of the planet as a network of power, the natural earth currents that courses through the leys constitutes the nervous system of the "living" planet-earth. The leys at the same time link all sacred sites together like a complicated spider’s web. This invisible grid-like system which covers the country was focused on the axis of Stonehenge. There are 900 or more stone circles [henges] throughout the British Isles, though none of them is as elaborate as Stonehenge.

The first-quarter of the Late Bronze Age was a period of great prosperity for Britain. The country’s prosperous economy was supported by sea-borne commerce and trade with Europe, the Mediterranean nations, and with Africa. This prosperity was what enabled the British kings of this period to build many of Britain’s great megalithic monuments, such as the Glastonbury Temple (2700BC), the royal citadel and capital city of Avebury (2650BC), and the observatory of Stonehenge (2500BC).
[skip]

The druids carried along with them to Scotland the "Lia Fail" Stone, which now became the "Stone of Scone". It was the royal omphalos stone upon which the Iron Age Irish high-kings were crowned, and before them the Bronze Age British kings.

THE GALAXY ON EARTH: A TRAVELER'S GUIDE
TO THE PLANET'S VISIONARY GEOGRAPHY


[excerpts]

The Dome of the Rock is a Muslim monument on the Temple Mount, which is a huge enclosed platform on the top of a small rise in the Old City of Jerusalem called Mount Moriah. The Temple Mount was called in Hebrew Har BaBayit, which means "the Mountain of the House," as in God's House; in Arabic Haram es-Sharif (the Noble Sanctuary); and it is a trapezoid measuring 1.5 million square feet or 500,000 square yards and occupying forty-five acres.

As impressive as it is in its own right, the Temple Mount (elevation: 2,220 feet) is the setting for an even more impressive jewel. The center of attention and the focus of the majority of the site's sacrality is an oblong rock, a natural outcropping, that measures fifty-six by forty-two feet. It's called the Foundation Stone, or in Hebrew, Even HaShetiyah, said to have been planted here at the beginning of Creation and taken by God from His Throne of Glory.

Thus Jerusalem's holiest spot is a rock that the ancient Jews saw as the center of the Earth, the axis of the universe, the pivot that joined Heaven and Earth, and Earth with the primeval chaos beneath it. "It was the root of heaven, the lid of hell, the place through which souls spring up when ascending from hell to heaven. 
[skip]

The site of the Temple of Jerusalem, with the Stone as its center, was believed to be the precise place out of which the Flood waters erupted and back into which they receded when the Flood was over. Then the great rock was set upon the opening into the abyss, keeping the Flood waters penned in. The Stone of Foundation was an omphalos, or primordial navel, and also the first solid object created by God and "placed by God amidst the as yet boundless fluid of the primeval waters."

Legend says God then built up the Earth concentrically around this Stone just as the body of an embryo is grown from its navel. "In the same manner in which the body of the embryo receives its nourishment through the navel, so the whole Earth too receives the waters that nourish it from this Navel."

Ever since the seventh century, the Muslim Dome of the Rock (Arabic: Kubbat as-Sakrah) has stood directly over this unusual rock, framing it in an octagonal temple topped with a golden dome (sixty feet wide), its inner surface a sublime kaleidoscope of arabesques in gilt and plaster, arching one hundred feet above the rock. 
[skip]

INIMICAL ENERGIES AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT- We should not be surprised to find a fair concentration of what we could label dark and negative energies marshaled at the Temple Mount to block or distort access.

Two giant astral beings are locked in mortal battle atop the Mount, swords clashing, wounds gaping; they are primitive beings of a male valence, and all they do is fight, striving to kill each other. This energy permeates Jerusalem. Numerous alien ships high above the city quarantine the Mount in a ring of beams broadcast like laser shafts.

These energies help maintain the energies and functions of several circles of reptilian beings and giant astral snakes that surround the Mount, facing outwards into Jerusalem, discouraging access, keeping the energies combative, fragmented, bent on isolation and conflict. Behind them and also facing away from the Mount is another circle of large demonic control beings; their function too is to dissuade the fainthearted, to inflame those on the edge, to confuse or scare the rest, to keep the Mount and Stone from being used again as intended.

The dome directly over the Mount and encompassing all of Jerusalem is damaged. Part of its crown is severed, like a yarmulke riding the side of the head by the ears instead of the occiput. The two cords linking the dome to the master dome at Avebury are damaged; one of them is not "hooked up" at all. The damages mean that Jerusalem through its dome is not receiving the beneficial cosmic energies of both Sirius and Canopus through Avebury as they are meant to; this allows other inimical energies to exert the predominant influence.

The dome can be repaired, but it requires human assistance in conjunction with the angelic realm, and such repair could only be undertaken if the spiritual worlds judged it appropriate or karmically possible. (For information about another damaged dome, see Clingman's Dome, Tennessee.)

-----------------------

Incorporated within the clues are various number systems and associated geometry. The numbers are as ancient as human history. Dreams, crop circles, coincidences, and symbolic events provide some of the clues.

In an almost entirely separate cultural setting, academic science, parallel events are taking place. As yet, this remains mostly unrecognized and unacknowledged. That, I believe, is one perception that will be changing.

The Christian version of the Omphalos is told in the Book of John, chapter 21, in the Bible. Peter the fisherman apostle represents the stone, as the name Peter or Petra means rock or stone.

In ancient times the word petra had another meaning, "interpretations" which were inscribed on stone tables. I believe the double meaning is a major clue indicating that the stone of change may be new interpretations at the time the veil is lifted and the secret things are uncovered. When new interpretations come, beliefs change; then it follows that perceptions change. Remember that a symbol of our perception can be the dome of the world Omphalos.

I was in a rush to get some of this information online prior to Psalm Sunday, so the first draft was mostly a collection of e-mails and notes on the subjects. I am now in the process of making it a bit more presentable.

That work will be continuing. Meanwhile, the e-mail and notes version is below, along with some graphic and text improvements.

Table of Mega Glyph Numbers

Mega Glyph Crop Circle at Milk Hill, August 13, 2001
http://bcornet.homestead.com/files/MilkHill/milkhill.htm

The Mega Glyph formation, linked above, appeared a few weeks prior to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The formation was composed of 409 circles. Each of the six segments had 13 major circles and 55 smaller circles. The total circles in each segment are multiples of 17 -

Mega Glyph Numbers Row Large circles Small circles Total  Circles Divided by 17 1 13 55 68 4 2 26 110 136 8 3 39 165 204 12 4 52 220 272 16 5 65 275 340 20 6 78 330 408 24 Add the central 72 foot circle to  408 to arrive at the total of 409.

Some of the "music" numbers are there. The "Large circles" column above fits with Mayan timekeeping and with Tarot cards, as multiples of 13. The number 39 is also twice 19.5, a key number in hyperdimensional tetrahedral mathematics. This concept has been presented by Richard Hoagland and his associates at the Enterprise Mission Site. The geometry involves two interlaced tetrahedrons inside a planetary sphere. The geometry of the Mega Glyph crop circle formation fits quite well with the concept.

The number 17 is related to 153, the number of fish in the net (John 21), as the numbers 1 through 17 add to 153.

The formation appeared around August 17, perhaps suggesting 8 x 17 = 136.

When the number 288 is subtracted from the number 409, the result is 121, which is 11 x 11.

On the page liked above, Norma Smith lists the English alphanumericas of the seven colors of the spectrum as -

RED	ORANGE	YELLOW	GREEN	BLUE	INDIGO	VIOLET	TOTAL
27	60	92	49	40	58	83	409
Chakra 1	Chakra 2	Chakra 3	Chakra 4	Chakra 5	Chakra 6	Chakra 7	..
4 petals	6 petals	10 petals	12 petals	16 petals	2 petals	972*	50 + 972

These are also the colors associated with the seven chakras, in the order of chakra one through chakra seven, from left to right. "Green = 49" is the fourth-Heart chakra. This is figured as A=1, B=2, etc. The * is placed beside the 972 to note that the number is not accepted by everyone. Perhaps the most common number given for the seventh chakra is 1000 petals. The 972 figure is given here, based on the information in our 1997 article:

Crop Circle Formations As Chakras

It was based on a review of an article by Jens Rowold, who used the chakra system developed by Barbara Ann Brennan. Barbara, like others, can see the energy in the aura. She wrote the book, Hands of Light. The 972 petals are said to be composed of 960 white petals or vortices, and 12 golden petals or vortices.

---------------------------

Mirrors, Mirrors Everywhere!

It seems the many 9-11 forms are part of the wake-up call to resuscitate Lazarus (humanity) from the dead. New connections are coming fast these days, like a flood of information. One such, with a little help, came to me yesterday, April 9, 2004, Good Friday. It is about the number "mirrors."

The Nines	0	9	18	27	36	45	mirror	54	63	72	81	90
The Elevens	0	11	29	38	47	56	mirror	65	74	83	92	110

The "reduced" values of the nines row are all nine, except the zero. The reduced values of the elevens row are 11, not including the 0 and figuring 11 as the end of the reduction. In some systems, an 11 would reduce to 2. When the mirrors of the double digit nines are added (18 + 81, 27 + 72, etc.), the result is 99, which is 9 x 11.

When the mirrors of the double digit elevens are added (29 + 92, 38 + 83, etc.), the results are 121, which is 11 x 11.

When a zero is placed between the double digit numbers, the nines result in mirror addings of 909 and the elevens result in 1111. (108 + 801, 207 + 702, etc., and 209 + 902, 308 + 803, etc.)

When each number set of the two rows above are added, the results are:

0

20

47

65

83

101

center

119

137

155

173

200

Except for 0, 20, and 200, the numbers all "reduce" to 11. Adding the eight numbers that reduce to 11 (47 through 173 above) totals 880. That is an octave of the note of "A" in music, and is half a mile in yards. All the numbers added comes to 1100. Each pair on the sides of the center add to 220 (20 + 200, 47 + 173, etc.).

One can also "mirror" the flight numbers of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001:

571

39

77

11

mirror

11

77

93

175

The "mirror" number 571 may have been a BIG hint. A movie was paying at the time, "U-571," which is about finding a the solution to a secret code under the water. Another movie playing was "Ocean's Eleven." Coincidence? I think not!

I also doubt it was a coincidence that prior to 9-11-01 there were 777 NYC firemen killed in the line of duty, while 343 were killed on that one day (343 = 7 x 7 x 7). Yet another unlikely coincidence was the 11-9-65 blackout in the Eastern US, 36 years prior to 9-11-01. In this case, subtract mirror numbers: 911 - 119 = 792. That is a base ten harmonic of a major Gematrian number, (11 + 11) x 360 = 7920. It is the diameter of the planet Earth in miles. My snail mail friend, Paul, dreamed that number years ago. After I informed him that it was Earth's diameter, he pointed out that the word, "Gematria," means "measuring the Earth!"

You may know that a box around the Earth is part of the New Jerusalem Plan, giving 4 x 7970 = 31680 miles, the sublunar distance around the New Jerusalem, while 3168 is associated with "Lord Jesus Christ." Yet another coincidence is that Bethlehem is at 31.68 degrees latitude.

All of the numbers in the last list above were airline flight numbers in the 9-11-01 attacks, except for number 39. It is, however, part of the other code sequence I mentioned above concerning the triplet numbers.



The Seven Chakras

Regarding the Revelation 3:1 "you are dead" quote given near the top of this page, addressed to the church in Sardis,  there are a total of seven angels of the seven churches:

Rev. 2:1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus . . ."
Rev. 2:8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna . . ."
Rev. 2:12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamum . . ."
Rev. 2:18 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira . . . "
Rev. 3:1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis . . . "
Rev. 3:7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia . . . "
Rev. 3:14 "And to the angel of the church in Laodica . . . "

References to seven are found throughout the Bible, especially in Revelation. One interpretation is that the seven chakras are related. If one counts from the bottom, in the above list, Sardis would correspond to the third chakra, which is represented by a ten petal lotus with a five-pointed star inside. The color is yellow. The ten horns associated with the beast and harlot of Revelation 17 may correspond to the third chakra. The harlot clearly corresponds to the eastern goddess Kali. Part of the meaning is a stressful karmic process of purification, called death or destruction creation. This corresponds to a seed growing into a plant. The seed is destroyed in the process of the plant's growth.

1993 Bythorn  Mandala Crop Circle	Yantra to Kali	Sri Yantra

The Bythorn Mandala crop circle formation is said to represent the third chakra. It is on the left, above. One of the points was facing South. The similar graphic in the middle is a yantra to Kali. The graphic on the right is the Sri Yantra, the pattern that apeared grooved into a dry lake bed in Oregon in 1990. A five-pointed star with two horns or points facing upward is an esoteric symbol of the Kali Yuga time cycle, the Age of Iron, corresponding to the legs of iron in the dream of Nebuchadnezzar. See page 5 of The Secret Doctrine:

The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky -- Vol. 1 http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/sd/sd1-0-pr.htm

All the symbols in this section (above) of The Secret Doctrine have appeared as crop circle formations in various forms.

The harlot of Revelation 17 seems to have the same meaning as Kali in the eastern traditions. We are nearing the end of the Kali-Yuga, the Age of Iron, and will return to the Age of Gold. The four metals associated with the "frightening image" dream of Nebuchadnezzar are the same in the Hindu chronology. Kali is thrown down at the end of the cycle.

Kali (the harlot) represents karma or judgment, and it is this "beast" that is thrown down at the end of the cycle, as indicated by Revelation 17:11. It seems to be the "Swallower" of the Egyptians, an "eighth that belongs to the seven." The harlot symbolism seems to mean that we "pay" for the "fornication," meaning the duality bond in the time cycle. We "kings" of the earth give over our "royal power" to the beast until the words of God are fulfilled (Rev. 17:11).

Kali wears a girdle of severed human hands. As the instruments of our works, it indicates the karmic function. Kali invokes "tamasisk," emotions of fury, which corresponds to being drunk on the wine of the harlot. The 12 stars of Rev. 12, and the New Jerusalem fit with the idea of the Heart chakra level, which has twelve petals on the lotus, with a Star of David inside.

___________

Note the similarity of the outer portions of the two yantras. One of the meanings of the Sri Yantra is a path through the chakras from outward-inward. The four "T" shaps are gates and represent the first chakra. The second chakra is represented by the sixteen petal flower. The third chakra is symbolized by the eight petal flower.

This is a photograph of the huge Sri Yantra pattern found grooved into a dry lake bed in Oregon in 1990:

http://www.om-sweet-om.net/sriyantra-oregon.gif

This is a bit confusing, but it seems to involve two systems. In the more "standard" system, the third chakra is represented by a lotus flower with ten petals, whereas in the yantra system shown above, the third chakra is represented by an eight petal lotus flower.

My "dream-coincidence" experiences may shed more light on the subject. The top-left graphic below is one of my chits, brass vouchers used to rent tools at a workplace. In Sandskrit the word "chit" means consciousness. A dream of interlocking circles in a ring on October 18, 1990 lead me to draw the graphic on the right. I did not realize right away that the outer boarder fit with the chit pattern. Two weeks later I awoke "knowing" what the pattern meant. It was the Oversoul with the various reincarnational or focus personalities.

Click on images for more information.

In the year 2000 the two crop formations depicted in the lower two frames above appeared. Clearly they are related by design to the other iamges above. Note how the formation on the lower right has the sixteen fold design with the eight fold design inside, just as the yantra patterns.



Dream Visions and the USA Chakra Map

Phillip's Dream Vision

On May 28, 2002, I added this to my article about the 9-11 events:

Today I found this precognitive dream reported by Phillip Burley:  

My Reflections on the events of September 11, 2001 - Phillip Burley

My thought after reading the above:

The "sleeping giant" awakes; woe to those who will experience the giant's wrath. It is time to turn from the black road of death destruction creation that results from the lower consciousness levels, and bring forth our higher aspects.

[end of excerpt]

In the article, Phillip Burley reported a dream vision he had several years prior to September 11, 2001. In the dream, he saw a huge bomb go off at or near the World Trade Center. Later he had a visitation from an angel.

The angel showed him America as a sleeping giant. The states were sown together like patches in a quilt that served as a blanket over the giant. The giant's head rested in New York City , as if it was his pillow. The feet of the giant rested in Los Angeles.

The Angel explained that Boston is the intellectual center, Washington D.C. is the political center, and New York City is the financial center.

Phillip walked with the angel, like giants, across the southern part of the United States. At Los Angeles, the angel reached down and pulled the quilt up and off of the feet of the sleeping giant. Phillip was horrified to see that two giant rats were gnawing away at the feet of the sleeping giant!

Phillip awoke feeling disturbed. He knew that the rats symbolized many things eating away at the foundation (feet) of the nation.

The dream may have been speaking of a spiritual awakening in America.

When the terrorist attacks took place a few years later, Phillip recalled his dream vision. Shortly thereafter, while driving in his car, he heard over the radio a person comparing the 9-11 attacks to the attack on Pearl Harbor. That attack was said to have awakened the "sleeping giant," and that the Japanese would experience the awakened giant's wrath. As far as he could recall, Phillip had never heard this quote before.

Lazarus Rising

In March of 2004, Dee forward the following e-mail to me:

Subj: Re: Yellowstone   Date: 3/20/2004 11:37:37 PM Pacific Standard Time   From: lazarus rising  Hello Dee,  I found your great dreams website a few days ago while researching visions &   prophectic dreams. I first became clairaudient in 1992 and have experienced   visions and prophetic dreams since that time. My oldest child is an intuitive tarot   reader. My second child can see & read auras. My third child appears to be gifted   with precognition, & my youngest child has begun experiencing prophetic dreams   and visions during the past few months.  After reading about the Yellowstone volcano, I thought it important to email you,   and share a couple of clairaudient messages I had received...one from 2 years   ago, and one just last week. Also, I wanted to share a prophetic dream my youngest   child shared with me on March 17, 2004. About 2 years ago, while casually surfing   on the internet, I received the following clairaudient message: "The sleeping giant is   starting to wake up."  Naturally, I immediately tried to research what "the sleeping giant" was. I concluded   it had to be a volcano, but I had no idea which one. I finally wound up emailing a   volcanologist to ask which volcano was known as the "sleeping giant." He couldn't   help me as he said all dormant volcanoes were considered to be sleeping. I was   stumped. I tried to research the "sleeping giant" some more but couldn't find anything,   and I eventually gave up.....until I read about what is happening at Yellowstone.  Last week I received a message to purchase 24 candles. It didn't make sense to me.   I thought maybe it was tied to "the 3 days of darkness." Then I dismissed that idea,   because I figured 24 candles wouldn't be enough for a 72-hour period. Then I did   some more reading, & learned that the candles needed for the 3 day period are   supposed to be blessed and made of beeswax. Then I did some reading on beeswax   candles, because I couldn't really understand the need for beeswax. What I learned   was that beeswax apparently burns cleaner & lasts longer because of it's purity. I also   learned that one 8" beeswax taper typically lasts about 3 hours. That means one could   expect to use 8 candles in a 24 hour period....or 24 candles in a 72-hour period...3 days.  Since my child first began receiving prophetic dreams and visions a few months ago,   one of the difficulties being encountered is that there are never any dates or times   being given for any of the events he has seen. I suggested that perhaps it would be   a good idea to ask to be shown a clock or calendar when the dream begins to perhaps   pinpoint their occurrence. In the dream, he looks out the window and it's a beautiful   sunny day. All of the snow is gone, and this strikes him as being odd, since it's supposed    to still be winter outside. He decides to go look at the calendar hanging on the kitchen   wall. He sees the calendar has changed. Instead of it being March...the month is July,   but there is no year.  In the bottom right corner are 2 months, one is July (which he thinks is odd since it is   already on the month of July) and the other month is August. Another strange thing   he observes is that although we have currently a 'scottie dog" calendar, there is no   scottie dog for the month of July....just a scene with a lake. Dates are highlighted in   blue circles on the calendar for the month of July: the dates are; July 3rd, July 14th,   and July 24th.  However,there are no dates highlighted for the month of August.  In view of what is currently happening at Yellowstone, I felt perhaps the messages   I had received, along with his prophetic dream might be of some significance. If I   should receive any additional messages, I would be happy to pass them on. Everything   I have related about my son's dream is exactly as he told me.  If you should wish to share this on your website, you have my permission.  Love & Light  Lazarus

USA Tree of Life Chakra Map

After reading Lazarus' e-mail, I recalled Phillip's dream vision and got the idea that the USA may have chakra type centers. These could correspond to the Tree of Life. Boston, New York City and Washington D.C. could be the upper triad. Los Angeles could be Yesod, the "Foundation," or the Kingdom, Malkuth, Earth. Yellowstone could fit with the third chakra, which is symbolized by a yellow lotus flower with ten petals with a five-pointed star inside. I marked various places on this map to show the theory:

I chose the various places based on the information above, and other information about possible symbolism regarding various cities. Perhaps others could make more accurate choices. The places on the map correspond to the Tree of Life in this manner:

Compare this to a conventional Tree of Life diagram:

A helpful site in exploring the meanings of the various parts of the tree is here:

The Interactive Tree of Life

The third chakra is said to be the pair of spheres, Hod/Glory and Netzach/Victory. The Path between them is associated with the Tower Tarot card, number 15. This is the 27th path of the tree. On the USA chakra map Hod and Netzach correspond to Salt Lake City and Yellowstone. It may be that Yellowstone fits better with the path 27, between the spheres. Note that this horizontal path is crossed by the verticle path from Yesod/Foundation to Teferet/Beauty. The verticle path is number 25, associated with Tarot card 14, Tempernance.

Some dreams of driving to various places on roadways may be indicating the Tree of Life. In some of the dreams a bridge or overpass is part of the landscape. This may represent one of the crossing points of the paths of the Tree, such as the two mentioned above.

In terms of the Tree of Life, the Omphalos may be suggested by the entire central pillar or a part of it, such as the Tower Card path or the lowest sphere, Malkut. The Omphalos is associated with the "stone," which is another reason I felt that "Yellowstone" fit the picture. In the Biblical story in John 21, Peter the Fisherman corresponds to the central circle. Peter or Petra, of course, means "rock" or "stone." The word had the other meaning, "interpretation."

I found an example of Tarot Card 15 that fits well with these ideas. I found it via a google search for the words Tower Tarot Omphalos phallic.

XV. Turris - Purgos - Tower (15, 16)

Here are some excerpts from the page:

The scene is dominated by a beehive-shaped mound, on which stands a tall, nearly cylindrical, brick ziggurat, divided into seven stories by horizontal terraces, above each of which there is a round window, lighted from within by colored light (from top to bottom: violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red).

[skip]

The tower, one of the key symbols of the trump, is ambivalent: it represents both protection and confinement; it is both a fortress and a prison. Therefore, the tower itself teaches a lesson: that the most invulnerable defenses may become the most imprisoning bonds (cf. the shield in VIII.Victory). It is also ambivalent in being, on the one hand, feminine and protective, and, on the other, phallic and inaccessible. Further, the tower which houses a maiden or princess is simultaneously protective and confining, a symbol of virginity (Cooper s.vv. Garden, Tower).

[skip]

As in the Middle Pillar Exercise (e.g. Regardie III.55-9), the celestial power is drawn down from the heavens, through the seven levels, which symbolize the chakras, represented by the seven colors of the rainbow (Judith 324-7). (Assignments of colors to the chakras vary; see for example Eliade, Yoga 241-3, or the Sat-Cakra-Nirupana in Avalon.) The seven levels of the tower also represent the seven planets and the seven heavenly spheres (Butterworth, Tree 163; Eliade, Sham. 267). (The Middle Pillar, of course, is the Axis Mundi, as is the Tower; see below.)

[end of excerpt]

I was looking for "phallic" symbolism because in Eastern traditions, the Shiva linga seems to be a form of the Omphalos. See:

Images of Cosmic Manhood in Art and Mythology

Subj: Re: [asc2k] Gematria  Date: 11/15/2004 4:17:45 PM Pacific Standard Time  From: Stephen In a message dated 11/15/2004 5:58:26 PM Eastern Standard Time, beverly writes: << Does anyone remember the pair of astrological 5-pointed star formations at the beginning and end of Oct.? This certainly adds more depth to the understanding of the fascinating events that we are living in now. >> Hi Bev, and Asc2k group, I generally don't get involved in many discussions with this group, but I am glad to see some collective interest in the topic of Gematria and Sacred Geometry in general, by a few members here. I've been doing research on this topic for nigh on 30 yrs. now, after having been introduced to the early works of a pioneer author on the subjects by the name of John Michell, whom I now correspond with on an interim basis. Last year I was astounded to discover that some of his early research material has been published on the internet, so if anyone is interested in seeing some authentic information on this subject, here is a great URL. . . http://www.odeion.org/gematria/index.html  [Gematria - A Preliminary Investigation of The Cabala] . . . on Peter Wakefield Sault's website. I'm sure that is more indepth on the subject than most would care to fathom, but who knows . . .? In regard to the previous line of this discussion, which takes into account the root Sanskrit connection of a word being synonomous with it's object or perhaps activity . . .this appears to be at the basis of many ancient languages in general, although my own particular favorite is the Greek language and its hidden numerical associations. And in regard to your mentioning this Pentagrammic crop circle, I would like to present an interesting curiousity the ties all of the subjects into a neat package. The gematria of the compound Greek word Pente-440 (meaning 5 of course) and Gram-144 (meaning the dual connotation of Write, and or Line) totals . . . 584, which just happens to be the number of days in the synodic cycle of the planet Venus as seen from Earth, as it literally traces a pentagram in the night sky within the Zodiac band every 8 years. In other words, 584 x 5=2920 / 8 =365. Neat eh? Stephen

Subj: "junk" DNA finding & the 13 theme of '04 & '05  Date: 6/1/2005 5:47:38 PM Pacific Standard Time  From: Norma This is the retyped link to DNA article: http://www.gewo.applet.cz/health/DNA_1e.htm This discovery with its suggested ET design of our DNA, also suggests activation of this DNA by a specific light signal in the cosmos. A strange massive light burst was detected last year by astronomers. This could very well be the meaning for Tarot card image Judgement, with an angel sounding a trumpet and humans rising from open stone coffins. This card is new English version #24...and 24 is contracted 2004, the leap year of 366 days, or 2 x 183...183 = Transformation, new name of Tarot #13 Death. 24 = ACT...3 of the 4 DNA bases. 24 is letter X, the crossover letter. Recall the significance of 2005 with its 13 cubed near sum of 2197. 21 as letter U is the 4th or missing DNA base--ACTU. 97 = Through, Serpent. Serpent is the helix shape of our DNA. That all these bits of DNA information appear in the past 2 years is no coincidence, to my way of thinking. This 13 theme of Transformation is strongly in my awareness this year, more so than last year with its 24 significance. Norma  Universal Harmonics

Byron's Dream of Domes Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2005 17:09:01 -0600 From: Bryon Subject: Alien World Alien World 6/17/2005 I found myself on an alien world among people who looked just like me and most of them could fly. We were enclosed in a crystal clear dome. There were trees and people's homes among the trees. Everyone was dressed in white robes. I saw a rock cliff and wondered what was beyond that hill and I flew up as high as I could then pulled myself up on the rocks. On top it was flat with rocks here and there. It was like a wall to the East. Beyond this was a hole like a mine. I heard something and then a machine with a dome top rose up from the hole and I heard a sound that warned of an intruder. I realize or decided that I was the intruder and I flew off the rocks and down among the trees. As I flew I saw an area beyond toward the West and there was a hut among the trees and there were a few people there and one was a woman who seemed to be in charge. I went there and into the tent and saw this woman. She was a leader or wise woman. She had a message about her people and the way they live and how they came to live in this protective dome. The message of the other leaders in that dome told the people they were the only ones that were left on that planet. It was either a lie or something they could not know. I looked beyond and flew up among the tree tops and looked toward the west and I saw the tops of round brown domes and took them to be shelters outside of the dome. As I watched I thought I saw some little people move between the domes. I told the woman what I had seen and she walked to the edge of the dome and touched it and a portal opened and we went outside of the dome. I flew across the fields and over a stream and when I arrived at the domes I saw the little people. They had little shelters for their livestock and I saw animals like sheep, pigs and some kind of birds similar to chickens. I landed among the animals and the little people came out to see me. I returned to the dome and back up on the rocks and this time I was very careful knowing there was something on the other side of those rocks. I practically crawled into the center area where I found geometric shapes of gold and silver, each one different and I filled both hands with them. I heard the alarm sound and I saw the top of the machine raise up and try to see me but apparently it couldn't. I flew from the top of the rocks down to a tent where I gave the metal objects to my wife.

Byron's dream, and Jeff's 1990 dream (above), may by explained, in part, by this article: The Year of Jubilee, Chapter Five: The Hidden Time by Thomas Jude Germinario The idea is that the metaphysical foundation of phallic Yesod, represented as the second (from the bottom) sphere of the Tree of Life, is similar to the idea of the Omphalos becoming opaque (Qlippot), obstructing our view of the upper source Worlds of the Olam, after the "shattering of Vessels" (Shevirah). After the "rectification," (Tikkun) the Yesod sphere becomes clear (sapphire stone). This represents the change in our "evil eye" perception of reality, that will eventually come into being, eliminating the negative influence (Sitra Ahra) from the "Other Side."

Pacal VOTAN was the Mayan prophet who lived in the seventh century of this Christian era between the years 631 and 683. It took nine years after 683, when he disincarnated, to build the nine-leveled Temple of the Inscriptions at Palenque, and at the bottom of the temple in his tomb. His tomb was dedicated in the year 692. When the departure of the Maya took place in 830 A.D. at the end of the tenth baktun, no one knew about that tomb any longer. The History of Palenque The Mayan Calendar Shadow of the Seven Triangles On the equinoxes, the Sun crosses a center point and makes an exact 90-degree angle directly over the Pyramid of Ku'Kulkan (El Castillo) at the sacred site of Chichen Itza on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula (a place that represents the turtle's head on the continent known as Turtle Island or North America). The Castillo is part of the Mayan calender's Path of the Sun (solar calendar) with 4 stone stairways of 91 steps each plus an upper platform for a total of 365. The Maya had an 18-base for their mathematics and 18 months in a year. The pyramid has nine levels divided by the staircases or 18. The relationship of the Sun to the Earth at this sensitive point creates the phenomenon of the dramatic Shadow of the Seven Triangles, shadow triangles projected on the north staircase with serpent heads at the base. The triangles undulate in an ascending fashion in March and descend during the fall equinox. Following 360-day Maya solar calendar are five "nameless days." The New Year started after this five-day period, a time unfit for work; a time for ceremony when the old world is symbolically destroyed and a new one created. These 5 days are considered unlucky days comparable to the time of chaos before creation and before world order was established. Ancient Egypt also commemorated these 5 days. Coincidentally(?), on the first of these five days both the Egyptian grain god, Osiris, and the Mayan grain god, Hun Hunahpu, were born. Mayan, Prophecy of the End of the Great Cycle UXMAL - The Great Pyramid Originally nine levels high, the Great Pyramid has been partially restored. It seems that another temple was to be superimposed on the existing structure and some demolition had taken place before the plans were halted, leaving the pyramid in bad condition. Mictecacihuatl (Aztec) Mictlantecuhtli's wife who helped govern the nine layers of the underworld and its nine rivers. Mictlantecuhtli (Aztec) Creator and ruler of the underworld (Mictlan). If we examine Maya inscriptions, we find evidence that implies an understanding of the Fibonacci numbers. The ancient Mesoamericans viewed the cosmos as a layered universe. The heavens were conceived of as thirteen in number, with the earth included as the first layer. There was also a nine-layered underworld, beginning with the earth again as the first layer. This is depicted on page 2 of the Codex Vaticanus A.65 This is one of the examples of the use of the Fibonacci numbers 8, 13 and 21. There are 21 "worlds," when the earth is "counted" twice as the first world. (We note that the number one appears twice at the beginning of the Fibonacci series). There is evidence that the Maya also expressed the day as having 13 hours of daylight (the Thirteen Birds of the Day) and 9 hours of darkness (The Nine Lords of the Night). Most relevant for our discussion here, there is the 260-day calendar, which is based on Fibonacci numbers. There have been many theories that attempt to explain the origins of the 260-day cycle, and most of them show the connection with natural cycles. For example, the cycle of seed-to-harvest for certain types of corn grown in Guatemala is about 260 days. In the Dresden Codex, there are 258 days between Venus rising as an evening star and its emergence as a morning star, a period which correlates with the Aztec myth of Quetzacoatl's journey to the underworld. Perhaps the most significant correspondence is the period of human gestation. Nine lunar months are approximately equal to 260 days. One Mayan scholar discovered that some modern Mayan people explicitly state the human gestation period as the explanation for the origin of the tzolkin. There is much evidence that multiples of 364 days, particularly 20 x 364, were used by the Maya. The quantity 20 x 819 (or 45 x 364 = 16,380 days) was also used. The 819 days is equivalent to three tzolkins (39 veintenas) plus 39 days (or 20 x 41, minus one), which means it could function as a "footstep." In 819 days, the trecena coefficient and that of the Lord of the Night (a multiple of nine) remains the same, but the day name (and the kin coefficient in the Long Count) drops by one Fibonacci Numbers

THE NINE MUSES:   in Greek mythology, the nine patron goddesses of the arts; daughters of ZEUS and Mnemosyne, a TITAN who  personified memory. They were: Calliope (epic  poetry and eloquence), Euterpe (music and  lyric poetry), Erato (love poetry), Polyhymnia  (oratory or sacred poetry), Clio (history),  Melpomene (tragedy), Thalia (comedy),  Terpsichore (choral song and dance), and Urania  (astronomy). The Greeks used the number three a lot. There  were the three Fates, three Graces, three Gorgons and the three Furies. Even Apollo's Pythia sat on  a three legged chair (tripod) and Cerberus was a  three headed dog. Multiples of three also seemed  to be used such as the nine Muses and the twelve  Olympian gods. "The Symbolism and Spiritual Significance of the  Number Three"

ANGELS The angelic beings, or celestial intelligences, are divided into three triads, containing the nine orders, and whose names, as we shall see, represent the divine attributes that they manifest to all below them. Continuing from the fine introduction to the work, Dionysius says these divine attributes also have an inner relation with every human soul, for through their ministrations the aspiring soul becomes liberated from the bondage of material things, receives knowledge of that soul's purpose, and is enabled to live its true life, ultimately attaining its divine likeness to the full. The first order of the first triad is seraphim. They are described in the passage already quoted from Isaiah as the "burning" or "fiery" ones, from whom the stream of superessential grace flows (God transcends all essence). Like fire, the seraphim consume all that separates the human from God. The second order is cherubim. The name "cherub" means "fullness of knowledge". Through cherubim, the energy of God streams forth as a transcendental light that perfectly illuminates the soul and unites it with the divine wisdom. It imparts a full and lucid understanding to the universal divine immanence. In the Bible, cherubs are depicted as great winged creatures - for instance, in the construction of the Ark in the wilderness (Exodus 25.18 passim), King Solomon's majestic temple (1 Kings 6.23 passim) and the visions of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1.10 and 10.1 passim). In one passage, the cherub is portrayed as a flying creature on which God travelled in order to help King David (2 Samuel 22.11). All this shows how hard it is for the human mind to avoid conceptualizing a formless energy The third order of the first triad are the thrones; these are divine seats through which the soul is lifted up to God and becomes established in the constancy of the divine service. This first triad is closest at all times to the divine presence. In the second triad come first the dominions, or dominations, that are free from all earthly passions, from all inward inclination to the bondage of discord, and from all that is low; they display a liberal superiority to harsh tyranny, and an exemptness from degrading servility. They are true lords, perpetually aspiring to true lordship, and to the Source of Lordship. The second order of the second triad are the virtues, that have a powerful and unshakable virility welling forth into all their God-like energies. There is no weakness in them: instead, they ascend unwaveringly to the superessential virtue which is the Source of Virtue, and flow forth providentially to those below. The third order are the powers, or authorities, that are invested with a capacity to regulate intellectual and supermundane power which never debases its authority by tyrannical force, but is irresistibly urged onward in due order to the Divine. This order beneficently leads those below it, as far as possible, to the supreme power which is the Source of Power. It re-directs the forces that fetter the human mind to earthly things. Through this second triad, the soul is liberated from all that is below, and assimilated to that which is above. The third, and lowest, triad is concerned with the final execution of the work of providence, which is God's beneficent care for his creatures. The principalities exhibit divine lordship and true service; through them, the soul may turn from attachment to earthly activities to the service of God, so as ultimately to become a co-worker with the divine ministers. The archangels imprint the divine seal on all things, whereby the universe is the written word of God. They impart to the soul the spiritual light through which it may learn to read the Bible, and also to know and use its own faculties correctly. The lowest order of this triad is the angels, who minister to all things of nature, including humans, by purifying and uplifting them. In this triadic scheme, the higher orders inspire those lower than they, but not vice versa. Thus it is clear that the third triad is nearest the world, and transmits the illumination received from above. The end of the process is the transfiguration of the whole of the universe in the glorious light that proceeds from on high. This whole hierarchy spreads the divine light through the cosmos, that vast realm that includes the universe, as far as human understanding can define it, and also the psychic plane where we may meet the spirits of the dead and also the communion of saints and the ministry of angels. The great work of the angelic hierarchy is to praise and glorify God. This praise is not a rational acclaim so much as a great paean of joy that the world is as it is and that the angels are privileged both to know it and to participate in it. This is how we should say the Gloria of the Eucharist: that we are privileged to partake of the body and blood of the Saviour If the whole cosmos could resound to that praise, and move beyond prejudice and emotional bonds, we would pour out peace and goodwill to all creatures. The angelic hierarchy, with its enlightened will turned resolutely to the divine presence, helps to bring forward the Kingdom of God on earth - and elsewhere in our unimaginably glorious cosmos. And so it is that all aspiring human souls move to the divine presence, aided by an immense angelic hierarchy, none more important than the other. If the humble angel leads the way, the destination is through the cherub and seraph to the source of all being whom we call God. It may well be that much illumination from the Holy Spirit comes to us through the angelic hierarchy, centering on our own guardian angel. One thing is certain, though: we must worship the Holy Trinity and no other power.

The Great Seal of the United States In the radiant disk above the American bald eagle's head the stars of the original 13 states are composed to form a Solomon's seal symbolic of the union of soul and body, spirit and matter. Each of the interlaced equilateral triangles, one upward turned, the other downward, is a Pythagorean tetraktys, or "perfect triangle of fourness," of nine points, four to a side, enclosing a tenth representing the generative center ("still point of the turning world") our of which the others derive their force. The upward triangle is of spiritual, the downward pointing, of physical energy. thus interlaced, the two represent the physical world recognized as informed by the spiritual, and in exactly this sense they appear at the Lotus Center of the awakened heart. In the classical imagination, the 9 circumferential points of the Pythagorean tetraktys were identified with the Muses and the pont in the center with Apollo, around whose radiant form the 9 dance. In Jewish thought, the sign of the two triangles together is known as "magen david" (Hebrew, maghen Dawidh), "Shield of David," and read as connoting the shekinah, or presence of God in Israel (as originally in the burning bush and in the cloud on the summit of Mt. Sinai). In the Great Seal of the United States the reference is to the inspiration of the light of Reason in the constitution of the originating colonies brought together as one nation: e pluribus unum, "out of many, one." These are homologous, though culturally differentiated, interpretations of the same "elementary idea." When viewed as outlining a pyramid, the upward pointing triangle matches the pyramid n the reverse of the Seal, with the single point at its apex corresponding to the Eye out of which the expanding form of the traktys, the energy emanating from that initial point (which is of the opening both from and to Eternity) yields, first, duality (2 point: measure and chaos, subject and object, light and dark, odd and even, male and female, etc. ), which then relate to each other in three ways (3 points: either a dominant, b dominant, or a and b in accord, whence derive all the phenomenal forms in the field of space time (4 points: 4 quarters of the earth and heavens). There is a verse in the Chinese Tao Teh Ching: "The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produce Three; Three produced All things" (Tao Teh Ching 42, translation, James Legge).  Thus the ancient symbolism of the tetraktys: 1 point, 2 points, 3 points and 4; which series when read in the opposite sense, of ascending or returning to the source, yields the interesting series, 4 3 2 (for the sense of which is above) Connotations of the same perfect order pertain of course, to the downward turned tetraktys, with its single point at the apex opening also from and to Eternity; so that, "What is above is below," and the energy of the Spirit (however named0, whether from without (as from the Eye, the apex above) or from within the world (apex below) is one. Moreover, since from every terminal point of the six-pointed Solomon's seal the same increasing series of 2 to 3 to 4 proceeds, it follows the intended sense of the radiant symbol of 13 stars above the American bald eagle's head must have been the same essentially as that of Black Elk's remark, "The Center is everywhere", above and below, north, south, east, and west - with an additional eighteenth -century implication of the humanizing light of Reason reflected, universally , n the clarified consciousness of mankind. The number of stripes on the American eagle's shield is 13; so also the number of the arrows and of the leaves of the laurel spray in its talons, while the number of the feathers of its tail is 9 to the eye, but through the eye to the intellect, the meanings of which can be known only to those already familiar with the illustrated tradition. Such a composition may grace the eye, but in itself it lacks magic, or as Joyce would say, the "radiance" (claritas) of an achieve work of "proper" art. One's heart is walked, not by the form of the work, but by its content, and if the latter is of a tradition either unknown or deceased, the work may be of interest, like the dollar bill, economically, but it is no longer a work of living art. The artist fashioned a work of this kind serves in the way, rather of the priest of an assured tradition than of an innovating creator, and the refinement of his vocabulary can be astounding. Consider, for instance, the elegant concision of the statement of the relationship of the refinement of his vocabulary can be astounding. Consider for instance, the elegant concision of the statement of the relationship of a theological ground to the polity of this nation, founded in benevolence and reason, that is represented in the ideogram of the outward spread eagle on our dollar bill; overhead, the twofold tetraktys arranged in the form a Solomon's seal of 13 five-pointed stars, other recurrences of the number 13; the sum of the feathers in the eagle's tail (3 + 3 + 3);and the offered choices of either a spray of laurel or a sheaf of 13 arrows. It is ironical that today we should be passing around as legal tender these sociological manifestos without being able to read the message of democracy engraved on every one of them, the spiritual inspiration our of which their economic value has been derived. So, that, not only the message, but even its vocabulary, has been lost. But also lost has been the power of all such rcondite, iconographic art to melt the mind, enchant the hard, and cast a spell of esthetic arrest. For there has been a vast transformation of consciousness, not only in the Western world, but over the whole face of the earth, in the two brief centuries that have elapsed since the dating in Roman numerals of that pyramid. By Joseph Campbell - "The Inner Reaches of Outer Space - Metaphor as Myth and as Religion."

Primordial Hill The Egyptians believed that during creation this hill rose out of the sea of chaos to create dry land. The idea of this hill rising had a profound effect on the egyptians, being used as every thing from temple layouts to the possible inspiration behind the pyramids.
