Enlightenment
The ultimate state of grace is pure perfection:
The singing sun also represents immortality—the serpents of sunrise (rebirth) and sunset (death) joined in a standing wave. The red colour hints at their longer wavelengths at the ends of the day. On either side, the turquoise wings are those of Thoth, the divine herald who inspires the throat chakra.
This root chakra or Muladhara refers to manifestation. The colour red is associated with creation and strongly resonates with the “root of existence”. Muladhara is considered the creative foundation of the “energy body”. Yoga stresses the importance of stabilising the chakra where Kundalini awakens and arises.
The dual of the red cube is the turquoise octahedron. Known as Vishuddha, the throat chakra is the inverse of red and represents sound. It’s where you find your voice, speak your truth and cast your spells. This chakra is associated with speaking up and expressing yourself, but also with hearing and being heard. Philosophically, the Vishuddha chakra is associated with truth, clarity and responsibility.
When the cube and octahedron combine, they imply “creation as sound”. Here the vertices of one correspond to the faces of the other. Despite its balance, this figure remains abstract in nature.
Eventually, the creation sound produces light. This is the rhombic dodecahedron:
This master shape is made up of 12 rhombic faces (above and below). As the symbol for the Soul Star, this energy centre is seen as the gateway to the divine and our higher selves. The eighth chakra is also the element of our immortal souls. In a sense, it is both physical and metaphysical, allowing access to the eternal realm beyond time and space.
The shape above is echoed in the projection of a tesseract below. In other words, three nested polyhedrons secretly imply a hyper-dimensional fourth. Here we are reminded of the quote from Mary the Prophetess: “One becomes two, two becomes three, and out of the third comes the one as the fourth.”
Sunlight then, is needed for enlightenment. But not just broad spectrum from the sky—tessellated light is required. This is the Great Work. By using this power, we can celebrate the arrival of Homo Spiritus. In a more intimate setting, we might call this a screaming orgasm—the sex magick at the heart of the esoteric tradition.
Above: three nested octagrams, or the net of a truncated cuboctahedral rhombus
At this point we may be tempted to discuss the rhombicuboctahedron. The only problem, however, is that this Archimedean solid isn’t natural. Life is parsimonious and she doesn’t dally with theoretical polyhedrons where uniform designs will do. When projected just right however, the two designs above are the same.
Here we are reminded of the Crown of Thorns or the Seal of Melchizedek below. This is Brahman—the ultimate reality of the universe. Melchizedek is seen in Genesis as “a priest of the highest God” and the “King of Salem.” This word translates to “‘peace,” making Melchizedek the “King of Peace.” The design below can be found above.
The Crown of Thorns is an enduring symbol of sacrifice, suffering and resurrection. Its powerful message encourages us to embrace humility, selflessness and perseverance in our spiritual journey. By understanding the sacred geometry behind this compound, we can better appreciate its impact on our lives as we grow ever closer to grace (balance).
The Melchizedek Priesthood is a universal order of service that works across the galaxy. Having made a major contribution to the development of consciousness upon this planet, they are like roving ambassadors of spiritual education, teaching the geometry of life. It is tessellated light which really moves people along their chosen path, much more than techniques, templates or traditions.
Melchizedek Melchizedek is the head of the Priesthood and the embodiment of the Great Central Sun. He is the Source who sends out light to many parts of the universe, locally via the cross of Regulus. While this light is wide spectrum, it becomes coherent when it reflects off the surface of hematite. Although this bloodstone’s crystals are trigonal and hexagonal with a rhombohedral lattice—they secretly form a rhombic tile:
Hematite is an iron oxide that occurs in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks. As the bloodstone, Fe2O3 has been linked to magicians, spells and sorcery for thousands of years. It was worn in the bedroom (sex), the delivery room (rebirth) and the battlefield (courage) to alter the flow of blood. Hematite conjures up tales of orgies, vampires and bloodlust that have long entranced us.
The Red Lion was immortalised in the Sphinx. This monument was coloured red using hematite. When activated by the Sun, it can amplify a secret state within the magician. Today, we can visit red rock cathedrals like Sedona to receive our initiations. The Earth is truly a magical place with many secrets.
The human soul then, is really just tessellated light. This fractal pattern occurs in nature when red sunlight reflects off hematite. This mirror can inspire the soul to expand and become one with the universe. We arrive at the perfect state some people simply call:
ENLIGHTENMENT.
