Bizarre love triangle
Life arises from deep within:
The sacrum resembles a rearing cobra with a flared hood. This triangular “holy bone” is found between the wings of the pelvis. In Egypt, the snake conveyed royalty, immortality and divinity and was called the Uraeus. As a medical symbol, cobras represented life itself—the magical umbilical cord uniting the mundane with the mystical.
The holes in the sacrum are called the sacral foramina. They provide an opening for the sacral nerves and blood vessels to pass through the bone. In other words, a bit like the number eight and the number eleven expressed in terms of each other. Combined, they signify the “life force” that the ancient Egyptians recognised within the triangle:
In geometry, a simplex is so-named because it represents the simplest possible polytope made from line segments in any given dimension. This is the “V” behind the concept of the Holy Trinity—the fundamental shape that inspires our world. The triangle then, is like the tip of Excalibur (spirit) thrusting into the stone (flesh). The sacrum can even be displayed as a centred triangular number with 19 balls:
What colour is the universe? Well, infrared is “invisible light” that makes up most of the energy hitting Earth’s surface. This electromagnetic radiation has a longer wavelength than visible light and therefore doesn’t activate the photoreceptors in our eyes. If infra means “below,” we might say that the feminine and masculine snakes are the energy and momentum aspects of the cosmic infrared background made up of waves and particles. When life is breathed into us, the Lotus of Life appears. It has 19 circles within:
From this shape we can infer a 4D rhombic dodecahedron or third-eye chakra of insight:
Or a 3D octahedron. This is also known as the throat chakra of breath:
Or the sacrum (root chakra) that can be viewed as a 2D cube of creation:
Diaphragmatic breathing in humans encourages a full gas exchange—the beneficial trade of incoming oxygen for outgoing carbon dioxide. Not surprisingly, this belly breathing slows the heartbeat and lowers blood pressure. This process also activates the vagus nerve, which is part of the parasympathetic nervous system. This leads to less mental chatter and more profound states.
So by arousing our willpower with tantric breathing we are joining the rhombic dodecahedron, octahedron and cube. Where should we focus our attention? Well, the all-pervading Vyapini is located between the sternum and the heart. Spiritually, this eighth chakra is known as the Soul Star.
Spiro ergo prospero—I breathe therefore I prosper.
The High Heart chakra represents enlightenment. This energy is the awareness of your higher self which is the mediator between your soul and the I AM. This is the ultimate state of grace implied by the Great Work.
