Enlightenment
The ultimate state is ineffable.
The eighth chakra is associated with this POWER in the deepest sense of the word. It is where the paradox of the self and the Self is resolved; where opposites are united. Here we find the balance point between the anima and the anima cosmica.
As we are immersed in the energy of the Soul Star chakra, we feel a state of sovereignty. This golden chakra allows access to the upmost clarity and enlightened wisdom. The Vyapini chakra balances us between the soul and the universe:
The Soul Star chakra is a mixture of the third eye, throat and the root chakras. This is the essence of creation, or the use of the breath to inspire the physical world. By using this universal power, we can activate the consciousness within water. This is the heka tradition, or the magick legacy that the Egyptians used for thousands of years.
The third eye, or Ajna, is the sixth chakra. Blue in colour, the rhombic dodecahedron is made up of 12 rhombic faces. As a stellation of the cube, the third eye is not only the insight of wisdom, but also the seat of conscience. This is where you see what is going on and know what it means. Our sense of justice originates here.
The throat is called Vishuddha, or the fifth centre. Turquoise in colour, the octahedron represents the element of air, which is expressed in the throat chakra through our breath. Breathing is a reciprocal process of receiving and releasing life-force energy. Through regular practice and mindful awareness of breathing patterns, the inverted breath plays an important role in achieving spiritual enlightenment.
The throat chakra acts as the body’s communication hub. It’s where you find your voice, speak your truth and sing praises—for yourself and others. This chakra is associated with speaking up and expressing yourself. Indeed, your creative ideas need the throat chakra energy to be able to find “voice” in the world. Sound and light each have a dual nature (sound as both compression and rarefaction; light as both wave and particle).
The root chakra or Muladhara is red and refers to manifestation. As the inverse of turquoise, roots grow in the Earth and strongly resonate with the “root of existence”. The dual of the cube is the octahedron. Vertices of one correspond to faces of the other. Muladhara is considered the creative foundation of the “energy body”. Yogic systems stress the importance of stabilising the chakra where Kundalini awakens.
The colourful polygons above are united in the rhombicuboctahedron below. This complex solid with 26 faces encapsulates the expression “will as breath as creation”. If we look carefully, we can see a turquoise octahedron and a red square that are “blown out”.

The combined shape is known as an expanded octahedron or an expanded cube. This is because the rhombicuboctahedron can be constructed by separating and pushing away the faces of an octahedron or a cube from their centroid. If we take the orthogonal projection of the rhombicuboctahedron, we are left with eight cubes:

The rhombicuboctahedron can be found in the depths of Hermetic philosophy, Renaissance art and the Jewish Kabbalah. In the fractal frame above, we can see two nested octagrams, also symbolising the duality of awareness:
At the centre is the Crown of Thorns: two interwoven squares. This mandala, best known as the Seal of Melchizedek, 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 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 divine 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, traditions or temples.
Melchizedek Melchizedek is the head of the Priesthood. He sends out light to many parts of the universe, traditionally via Regulus. These four stars transmit the wave and particle symmetry of interwoven squares that form harmonic resonance. In this sense the Priesthood grants its wisdom via starlight—the carrier of consciousness itself.

Eventually, we come to realise ourselves as the prime mover. This perfect awareness is equivalent to absolute power and, in the final analysis, to the ultimate reality as well:
PURE BEING.
