Ka Gold Jewelry is designed from sacred geometry which are the timeless symbols of wholeness! Sacred geometry is a term which describes the geometrical laws which create everything in existence. This term has been used by mathematicians, geometricians, spiritual seekers, anthropologists, and archaeologists to encompass the religious, philosophical, and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around geometry in all the major cultures during the course of human history. The geometrical laws derived from the flower of life produce the blueprint of the one consciousness that created life and existence. The moment you connect spirit and geometry you get sacred geometry: the designs of creation!

The Tree of Life - The Most Sacred Geometry Symbol
The Tree of Life is one of the most familiar of the Sacred Geometry Symbols. The structure of the Tree of Life is connected to the sacred teachings of the Jewish Kabbalah but can be seen in other traditions such as the ancient Egyptian. The Tree of Life is explained in Sefer Yetzira ("Book of Creation"). The book explained the creation as a process involving the 10 divine numbers (sefirot) of God the Creator and the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The 10 sefirot together with the 22 letters constitute the "32 paths of secret wisdom".
The Tree of Life pendant forms the key to God's original creation. The pendant fits exactly the Seed of Life and Flower of Life.
The Tree of Life is used as a sign of unity and love. Go here for more about the "Tree of Life."
Quantum physics will someday be much more fully understood through the study of geometrics and higher dimensions. All of nature ultimately has the origion of its expression through sacred (eternal) geometry. All the laws of the universe are based on the quantum interaction of geometric energies of various dimensions. Math is a universal lanquage, and geometry is a way of expressing that lanquage. Geometry is the organization of space within which all objects happen. Every object is geometrical. Every natural object has geometry built into its very structure. The electron clouds that make up the shapes of every atom, for instance must be in the form of three-dimensional patterns. And, of course, all solid objects are made up of these geometrically shaped atoms.
Crop circles do sometimes appear to mimic atoms. These amazing works of art seen throughout the world in cropland such as cornfields, etc. whether they are just hoaxes or not, have inspired millions with their beauty and elegance and possible otherworldly origin. The crop circles are a universal art form thriving on mystery and anonymity. If intelligent life from other worlds and dimensions is visiting the planet we live on, then most likely they are wisely remaining hidden and obscure until humankind is ready to evolve out of the darkness and conceitedness it has struggled with for centuries. It has been said by Bashar (Channeled through Darryl Anka) that in 2012, an "extraterrestrial quarantine" will end and Earth will from then be considered "safe" for visitors from other worlds to land on.
The universe is consciousness learning about itself. We are celebrating with the beautiful and universal designs of Ka Gold Jewelry the connectedness of all things.

Sacred geometry embodies the notion that all of nature is organized geometrically. And all this geometry is not limited to the third dimension, but possibly extends into countless other dimensions and even the dimensions of the spirit or soul. What happens when one closes one's eyes in front of a strobe light? One sees something quite remarkable: amazing geometric patterns and swirls very similar to some of the designs found in crop circles and in Ka Gold or Flower of Life jewelry! The universe is consciousness learning about itself.
Geometry is the ultimate basis of all reality. It is only through the dimensions of geometric space that all things interact in an orderly pattern just as a geodesic sphere, all life forms, and natural crystal structures for example reflect various universal laws such as those of mathematics and those of physics.
What is energy? An object with energy is a three-dimensional object in motion: either spinning, moving through space or both. In the real world, the fourth dimension (or fourth direction) of time is essential if any sort of motion is to exist. Energy is therefore nothing more than four-dimensional geometry! There really is no motion, only in the way a four-dimensional object is observed makes it appear that it is in motion. The real source of all energy lies in the interaction of the higher dimensions of space with the lower ones. The real source of all intelligent design lies in the formation of geometric shapes (such as crystals) as they interpenetrate all the dimensions of space. Geometry becomes sacred when it is studied (observed) in the context of universal spiritual truth.
The realm of three dimensional space seems to extend outward forever. However, the fourth dimension which is time also seems to go on forever, but it eventually must, by its sheer gravitational weight, spiral into itself back toward the past over a distance of billions of light years as each cycle of creation repeats itself perhaps in a slightly different way each time. However the fifth dimension, which is the abode of all possible motions, and having infinite potential energy, because it's so concentrated and so heavy, must by its own sheer weight immediately collapse and therefore curl back into itself within the distance of an atom's width.
In the following videos, Bashar (an ET channeled through Darryl Anka) explains the equation of space-time, free energy from ascending/descending spiral geometry (the sacred spiral), Star of David, Shamens, avatars and the rotating Merkaba:
All space has the bizarre property of having an electromagnetic shimmering at subatomic distances creating a constant "white noise" sound that can be heard between stations on any FM radio. Zero point (or "free") energy is therefore not just a theory, but something that can actually be observed, measured, and oftentimes heard on any FM radio. There is almost unlimited energy available within every cubic meter of space. The only things preventing its full utilization is skepticism, its extremely fine level of extension, and the right technology.
The realm of the atom is the gateway to higher dimensions beyond the four of space and time. At atomic scales all kinds of bizarre things happen: quantum particles reappear and disappear, waves become particles and particles turn back into waves, all causation melts into probability (either location or velocity is allowed but never both), and time often comes to a stop, is distorted, or even sometimes goes slightly in reverse. Subatomic particles are so minute that they easily fit in and exist well within the vibratory influence of the waves, twists and turns (multidimensional geometric curls) of space-time extending into the five dimensions of all probabilities and possibilities beyond time and space. Under the influence of zero point energy, subatomic particles jump around at an incredible speed giving them many times more mass and far more solidity than they would if no five dimensions existed.
The complex geometry of five dimensional space, where the uncertainty principle causes tremendous turbulence, is an everlasting source of energy that sustains all the building blocks (atoms) of creation. If this were not so, what would sustain electrons in their orbits? How or where would energy even exist or come about in the first place? The five-dimensional geometry of subatomic space is the ultimate source of all energy. Five-dimensional geometry is not only the source of all creation, but is also the sustainer of all creation which in turn is sustained from higher sources such as the sixth, seventh, eighth and even higher dimensions each being many times more tightly curled and concentrated as the number increases. Any particle of matter is where electromagnetic energy (light) has "lodged" into one of these multidimensional geometric curls.
The sequence of higher dimensions of sacred geometry may go on forever, however each one collapses into much more concentrated and much tighter and finer vortices than the ones beneath them in a way similar to the fractal images created by mathematicians using modern computers. The three and four dimensions of space is the familiar reality of life and its history, however, the fifth dimension is the cosmic borderline where time, space and causation start breaking down into a universal oneness or wholeness. The gateway of the fifth dimension is an "event horizon" into eternity. Rather than being an eternity of chaos, it is an eternity of perfect order or perfect, transcendental (sacred) geometry. Beyond the four dimensions of time and space, lie the higher dimensions of reality where there is no more distance inverse to the square, no more cause and effect, only an eternal consciousness, perfect stillness, wonderful wholeness, and infinite knowledge where any part of creation can be explored and enjoyed from a single point of perfect love. The psychic phenomena of remote viewing and astral projection and the yogic powers of seeing and hearing at a distance are all evidence of the existence of this great truth.
In conclusion, all matter is electromagnetic energy (or light) trapped inside higher dimensions of space. The geometric organization of higher dimensions embedded in space is the source of all consciousness, intelligence and energy. Sacred geometry jewelry intuitively mimics these great designs of creation from the higher dimensions of subatomic energy structures to the forms often seen in crystals and even life itself.
It seems that Ka Gold jewelry (magnificently designed by David Weitzman from Givataim, Israel) almost has a life of its own while representing the highest principles of wholeness and sacred geometry which is far beyond the scope, significance, and power of any ordinary jewelry.

"Not what we have but what we enjoy constitutes our abundance." -
John Petit-Senn
Finding Abundance
The abundance (Shafa) symbol was received in direct transmission from Archangel Metatron by Dvora Pearlman. It was received as a teacher and a tool - to learn, to use and to connect with divine flow and its manifestation in three dimensional realities. The Hebrew word for abundance is Shefa.
Sacred Hebrew language
In the Jewish tradition, Hebrew is the sacred language of creation. The Hebrew language is so sacred that it wasn't spoken for the day-to-day actions. Aramaic and later Yiddish were used as the spoken languages while Hebrew was dedicated only to prayers and holy work. In the Kabala, Hebrew is a language of creation. It is a language that can be used to create reality. In fact, it is believed to be the tool used by the Creator to create this universe.
The sacredness of spoken language is not singularly Jewish. The Indian sacred language - Sanskrit, holds the same power and holy attributes. It is the innate ability to create that makes both Hebrew and Sanskrit holy languages. This is what the SHEFA symbol comes to teach.
SHEFA is a word in its highest most profound meaning, a tool for creating abundance. It holds a powerful kinetic energy that when coupled with intent for the highest good and aligned with Divine will, can move mountains or feed the world.
Close your eyes and find a peaceful quiet place inside yourself. Ground yourself well and open your Crown charkas to allow the energy of higher light to come into your body. See the SHEFA symbol with your inner eye and allow it to enter your body. Start rotating it, this way creating a 3-D object. Allow it to move up and down in your body. Let it shrink so it can rotate in your cells and let it grow so it can imbued your whole auric field with SHEFA. Let it teach you the ways to work with it, let it answer your questions. Let it be the kinetic force behind your actions.
MAY YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH SHEFA
SHEFA - ABUNDANCE
Spiritual wind inflating the personal sails that each one of us holds
SHEFA - ABUNDANCE
Fire of God igniting and exciting our hearts

THE "TRUTH" BEHIND CROP CIRCLES -
Ever since the first one was sighted in the 1960s, crop circles have held the fascination and curiosity of the public. Almost always, the appearance of new crop circles gets attention from the media, the scientific community and New Age believers. Crop circles even became the subject of many fictional works, most notably the M. Night Shyamalan movie Signs, which starred Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix.
Man-made or Something Paranormal in Nature?
Nearly everyone is aware that a crop circle is a pattern of circles and other geometric figures created by flattening a field of crop such as rapeseed, rye, wheat, corn or barley. The first crop circles were comprised of simple circles, but the designs have grown more complex ever since, with some patterns following a highly complicated triple Julia set and even the semblance of being three-dimensional. Many crop circles have taken the form of patterns studied in sacred geometry.
But no matter how simple or complex a crop circle pattern is, the underlying question is this: Are crop circles man-made, the result of freakish weather, or something paranormal in nature?
The Roots of the Crop Circle Phenomenon
There exist records of the crop circle phenomenon occurring in England as early as the 1880s. These early records have attributed crop circles to strange storms that left circular patches in fields of grain.
Not a lot has been said about crop circles until nearly a hundred years later. And then, in the 1960s, sightings were reported once more, and this time, crop circles gained more prominence, at least in the media. There were numerous occurrences of this phenomenon all across the globe, not just in England, but also in Canada, Australia, Japan, China and Russia. These crop circles were formed notably near what are considered to be ancient holy ground. Most of these crop circle patterns were found in Southern England, particularly in Wiltshire County.
Upon the prevalent appearances of these crop circles, various theories on how they came to be surfaced. Many held up that crop circles are products of freak weather conditions, such as mini-tornadoes. Some believed that crop circles were created by aliens on disc-shaped UFOs.
The mysticism behind crop circles was ultimately shattered when two men from Southampton, England by the name of Doug Bower and Dave Chorley came forward and claimed that the crop circles that appeared on the fields of Wiltshire County were mostly their doing. They worked in the dead of the night using rope, planking and other readily available materials to create crop circles.
The Debate on Crop Circles Continues
After Bower and Chorley admitted that many recorded instances of crop circles appearing on the fields of Wiltshire were their creation, it was discovered later that 80% of recorded crop circles were man-made. This, however, does not explain the 20% of documented crop circles who did not have any traces of being created by human hands.
This portion of unexplainable crop circles has led many scientists and paranormal scholars to believe that there is another reason behind crop circles. The challenge of finding out the truth behind crop circles eventually resulted in the creation of cereology as a separate area of study focusing on crop circles.

Famous Crop Circles
Below is a rundown of some of the famous crop circles created since the 1960s. *The solar system formation, found in Longwood Warren, Hampshire, UK. This formation is interesting because it held a semblance to the planets of the inner solar system, with the obvious absence of the planet Earth. *The dumbbell formation, first found in Chilcomb Farm in UK. Formed in 1990, this was said to be the earliest of the dumbbell formations, where two circles were connected by a line and flanked with two rectangles at each side. *The Barbury Castle tetrahedron. Barbury Castle is a Neolithic fort in the United Kingdom. The tetrahedron that appeared in the fields near it in 1991 was considered significant because it depicted one of the sacred hermetic symbols, the symbol of the Trinity.
THE KABBALAH -
The Kabbalah (also known as kabala, cabala) means in Hebrew "reception" in the meaning of "received tradition" and indeed the term historically referred to all Judaism's oral law such as the words of the ancient prophets from the bible. Over time, many of the teachings were recorded and put available to all. The esoteric teachings though, remained something that is past on from rabbi to student. This was because of the relative interpretive freedom taken by kabbalistic scholars, and the heresies they might lead to, and so the teachings of the Kabbalah remained something that is restricted to a selected few. In our days, even the esoteric teachings have been put to record but the name remained.
The Basic Concepts in the Kabbalah:
In the basis of the Kabbalistic thought lays the Mekubal's (a Kabbalah mystic) will to mystically and consciously unite with god, narrowing the gap between him, and the material world he lives in, and the divine. The mekubal perceives the entire material reality and the phenomenons in it as god's revelations in our world. He espiers to reveal the godly being in everything and every form and by doing so, to rise spiritually, return his soul to her godly roots and to be one with god. The Kabbalah differentiates between god's hidden aspects which no creature can comprehend and god's revelations, usually referred to as the Ten Sephiroth (or "emanations") which are the ways in which god delegates his actions and through which he created the world. The Sephiroth make up the structure known as the Tree of life.
The Sephiroth are different and some are even in contrast to each other. It is common to divide them to three 'branches' being right, left and middle or, accordingly grace, judgment and mercy. There is great tension in this system due to the opposite powers and the mekubal tries to create compromise and harmony, bringing every thing to the middle. Uniting the line of grace, the male, with the line of judgment, the female should bring positive influences and vitality to the world.
The Historical Development of the Kabbalah
Jewish mysticism has existed since biblical days and is said to begin with the secret god told Adam in the Garden of Eden. In the bible we can read many stories of miracles such as Jacob's dream of the ladder to heaven, Moses' burning bush, the parting of the red sea, the prophet Ezekiel's visions and many more. In spite of this, researchers tend to differ between the early esoteric teachings and the actual Kabbalah being the esoteric Jewish teachings dating back to late 12th century and early 13th century in the south of France and in northern Spain.
The Bahir book (the Book of Brightness) appeared in the south of France in the year 1180 and is the first book of the Kabbalah. It is attributed to the scholars of the Mishnah and it contains ideas and sermons from the Hekhalot and the Merkaba literature. The Bahir also uses statements from Sefer Yetzirah (The book of creation) explaining the process of the creation led by god. It also speaks of the use of the Sacred Names in magic. At the same period, independently, the esoteric teachings of the Ashkenaz Hasidim rose. Though there are many differences between those teachings and those of the mekubalim, we can see many similarities both in the use of early Jewish mysticism as reference, the idea of keeping the teachings a secret and the formation of small study groups.
The Kabbalah rapidly spread to other regions in Spain, mostly due to the spread of literature and the migration of scholars. One of them was Rabbi Yitzhak Saggi Nehor (said to have written the Bahir book) who moved to Gerona, forming a group of scholars that played a major role in developing the theories of the Kabbalah and its literature. The esoteric teachings of the Kabbalah were soon widely accepted and kabbalistic elements started appearing in Halacha and biblical interpretation texts.
The Book of Zohar
In 1280 appeared the first issues of the central book of the Kabbalah, the book of Zohar, believed to be written by Rabbi Simeon bar Yohai. The book of Zohar only gained its great effect after the trauma of the Alhambra Decree (deporting the Jews from Spain) having given an emphasis to the people's need for redemption. The Zohar became even more known and sacred in the 16th century after having been printed. This effect climaxed in the kabbalistic teachings in the city of Safed, that many of its new mystical ideas were inspired by the interpretations in the Zohar. The Zohar became the primary source for the esoteric teachings, standing aside the Bible and the Talmud, though it raised many objections that continue to our days.
Safed as the Center of Kabbalah
In 1530 Safed became the center of the Kabbalah, notably bringing its wisdom to the public rather than keeping it a secret. Many study groups and learning circles were formed, including amongst them common people as well as known mekubalim such as the RAMAK Rabbi Moshe Cordevero. They used to study the Kabbalah, make amendments and fall on graves of the righteous thus achieving mystical experiences and witnessing divine revelations. The Ramak was one of the great Kabbalah mystics and he was described as having "a very intensive religious thought and a great power of explanation to be the leading systematical theologies of the Kabbalah". He was inherited by his student, Rabbi Isaac Luria (also known as "He-Ari" = the lion) though their interpretations of the Kabbalah were different. Though the Ramak's work was widely known and he himself was highly respected, The Ari and his teachings quickly took the lead in the esoteric teachings and the Kabbalah. This was probably because of the centrality of the concepts of exile and redemption in the Ari's system giving an answer to the people's needs after the deportation from Spain. The Ari's system continued spreading in Jewish communities in Europe and northern Africa inspiring as well new movements such as the Hasidut and the Shabtaut.
The Christian Kabbalah
In the end of the 15th century, in the early days of renascence, Christian scholars began to take interest in the teachings of the Kabbalah and some of the writings were translated to Latin. The scholars saw a resemblance between a few elements in the Kabbalah and basic Christian beliefs and sought out to found those beliefs on the Kabbalah. This movement attempted in missionary activity, trying to convince Jews to convert to Christianity by proving its authenticity based on the Kabbalah and the Zohar.
The use of the Kabbalah and the Zohar in Christianity, and later in the Shabtaut which was consider heretic, brought many Jewish scholars to go against the teaching and spreading of the esoteric teachings as far as openly objecting it.
The Kabbalah in Our Days
As part of the rise in popularity of religion and mysticism, the Kabbalah gains new interest world wide, with Jews and non-Jews alike. Its followers can be found in different socio-economic groups and its influence has recently grown among celebrities, the most renowned example of which is the singer Madonna, adding the Hebrew name "Esther" to her own. The singer, as many others, is a student in of the Kabbalah Centre, now the biggest institution for Kabbalah teaching with over 50 branches world wide.
Most orthodox rabbis object the use of the Kabbalah by this institution and others a like, have claimed it superficial, populist and some have even banned it. Many of the Kabbalah researchers in the world have expressed a similar opinion stating that the Kabbalah centre teaches "new age" theories and not actual Kabbalah. "There is no connection between the new age practices and the kabbalistic ideasŠ If the Ari were to rise in the 21st century and see someone meditating, allegedly according to his ideas, he would have gotten a heart attack from the shock and died for the second time" says Dr. Boaz Hoss from the Ben-Gurion University in Israel.

HAMSA -
The Hamsa (also known as Khamsa) is a hand shaped amulet used for protection by both Jewish and Muslim people. Its name comes from a Semitic root and literally means "five". The Hamsa is usually shaped in the form of a symmetrical hand, with thumbs on both side, and not in the anatomically correct way. Though it is widely used by both Jewish and Muslim people, its origins pre-dates both religions and is attributed to the goddess Tanit who was a Phoenician lunar goddess, worshiped as the patron goddess at Carthage.
Islamic Hamsa
In Islam, the Hamsa is also known as "The hand of Fatima", after the Prophet Mohammad's only daughter, who's also related to many miracles such as rain making. The story tells that one day Fatima was busy stirring a pot when her husband Ali came into the house with a new wife he had just married (Muslim men are allowed to marry 4 wives). Struck by grief and sorrow, Fatima let the ladle slip from her hand and continued stirring with her own hand, not noticing the pain. Her hand has since become a symbol for patience and faith. The Hamsa is also said to symbolize the five pillars or tenets of Islam.
Judaic Hamsa
In Judaism, The Hamsa is also known as "YAD HA'CHAMESH" (The hand of five) or "The hand of Miriam" after the sister of Moses and Aaron. It is also connected to five books of the Torah.
Hamsa for Protection
The Hamsa is used to ward of the evil eye and can be found on the entrances of homes, in cars, on charm bracelets and chains and more. It is also common to place other symbols in the middle of the Hamsa that are believed to help against the evil eye such as fish, eyes and the Star of David. The color blue, or more specifically light blue, is also considered protective against the evil eye and we could see many Hamsas in that color or with embedded gemstones in different shades of blue. In Jewish use, Hamsas are often decorated with prayers of a protective fashion such as the Sh'ma Prayer, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler's Prayer).
The Nautilus (in Greek 'sailor') has survived relatively unchanged for 450 million years and is one of the only shells to survive from the Dinosaurs era. This is why the Nautilus is sometimes referred to as a "living fossil". The Nautilus is a nocturnal creature and spends most of its time in the great depths of the ocean. The Nautilus shell, lined with mother-of-pearl, grows into increasingly larger chambers throughout its life and so has become a symbol for expansion and renewal.
Nautilus Shell and Phi
Dating back to Hindu myth, the Nautilus Shell was mentioned as a symbol of many things in the creation. It is also a symbol for the inner beauty of nature. The Nautilus shell is one of the known shapes that represent the golden mean number. The golden mean number is also known as PHI - 1.6180339... The PHI is a number without an arithmetic solution, the digits simply continue for eternity without repeating themselves. The uniqueness of the golden mean is that it can be found in all living forms such as the human skeleton, the shell and the sunflowers seeds order. Plato called this value - "The key for the universe physics".
The Golden Mean number is widely used in art, architecture and religious symbols. Artists like Da Vinci and Kandinsky have used the golden mean in their paintings. The Guggenheim museum, planned by Frank Lloyd Wright, is shaped like the shell. Researchers found that humans will consider beautiful an art work, architecture and even a face that have the golden mean proportions.
Phi (Golden Mean) - "The Key to the Physics of the Cosmos" (Plato)
Phi is a constant value which is even more mysterious and profound in its implications than pi. Like pi, phi is a number with no arithmetical solution. The decimals just keep on going into infinity without ever repeating themselves. The unique thing about this number is that it can be found incorporated in all known organic structures. From the bone structure of human beings to the seed pattern of a sunflower to the spiral of a sea shell, the phi proportion is there, underlying all biological structures, seeming to be a geometrical blueprint for life itself.
While it cannot be worked out arithmetically, Phi can be easily obtained with a compass and straightedge.
Finding the Golden Mean
Two simple ways of finding the Golden Section geometrically are as follows:
Method one: If you take two equal squares, side by side, (a 1x2 rectangle), divide one of the squares in half, and with a compass, swing the diagonal down to the base of the other square, the point where the diagonal touches the base will be phi, or 1.6180339+, in relation to the side of the square, which is 1 (This formula also describes exactly the rectangular floor of the King's Chamber).
Method two: The other method of determining the Golden Section is by dividing a line segment, AB, at a point C, in such a way that the whole line is longer than the first part in the same proportion as the first part being longer than the remainder. AB/AC = AC/CB = 1.6180339 (notice the fractal and holographic nature of this ratio...).
Golden Mean in Architecture
The phi ratio is found in the architecture of the Great Pyramid in the triangle formed by the height, half-base, and the apothem, or diagonal. In other words, the basic cross - section of the structure demonstrates the Golden Section. If the half - base is given a value of 1, this gives the value of phi for the apothem, and the square root of phi for the height. The Golden Section shows up again and again in Giza and in much more baffling and tedious ways (Entire volumes have been written on the geometries involved in the pyramids construction).
GENESA - The idea of the Genesa Crystal was developed in the 1950's by Dr. Derald Langham, an agricultural geneticist. He found that the crystal reflects the cellular pattern of an embryonic living organism after the third cell division this structure is of course the Egg of Life. Dr Langham used Genesa principles in the creation of new strains of crops that fed Venezuela during WW2. Hence the name Genesa gene south America.
"Genesa is the coded matrix of your own life force and is directly related to the living energy moving in spirals in all forms of growth, development, and change".

Genesa Crystal
The shape of this pendant is called The Genesa Crystal and it is actually a spherical cube octahedron. The idea of the Genesa Crystal was developed in the 1950's by Dr. Derald Langham, an agricultural geneticist. He found that the crystal reflects the cellular pattern of an embryonic living organism. Dr. Langham saw this eight cell cluster as a point of full, infinite potential. He felt that it held "The full potential for infinite love, for infinite wisdom, for infinite form, for infinite energy, for infinite power, for the soul, for eternal time, for infinite velocity, for infinite faith. It has all your goals, your desires, your motivations, even life itself".
Genesa Crystal is the Coded Matrix of Your Own Life Force
Dr. Langham said "Genesa is the coded matrix of your own life force and is directly related to the living energy moving in spirals in all forms of growth, development, and change". "Genesa is a 13-dimensional process involving step-in-to crystals of simple geometrical forms similar to those that living energies spiral through in natural growth patterns. Through precise, meaningful movements within their energysms (life force fields), they learn to harmonize physical, emotional, mental and vital aspects of living and tune into their greater selves".
The Book of Circle Gardening
Dr. Langham saw the Genesa Concept as a "model that can carry us from one learning experience to another, integrate the known and probe into the unknown". Dr Langham used Genesa principles in the creation of new strains of crops that fed Venezuela during WW2. The name Genesa comes from - gene South America.
His book, Circle Gardening, discusses his use of Genesa principles in the shaping and contouring of garden beds to enhance plant growth. He kept a large Rainbow Crystal in his circular vegetable gardens, believing that the Crystal accumulates swirling energy from the earth and atmosphere, creating a unified field of energy that bathes the growing plants in an environment of enhanced life force.
Buckminster Fuller Cube Octahedron and Genesa Crystal
In 1946, Buckminster Fuller the famous architect and the designer of the geodesic dome used the cube octahedron to show that the five platonic solids are related to each other as phases of a mutual transformational process, vibrating within the shape of the cube octahedron. He said that "Šit is the referential pattern of conceptual relationships at which nature never pauses". It is considered by some to be his most important discovery. The Genesa four interwoven circles create a spherical Cube octahedronŠ
Genesa Crystal Pendant as an Energy Purifier
The Genesa Crystal Pendant can be "programmed" for any kind of manifestation in ones life. The Genesa can purify any environment and can be used to amplify the Energy of the stone inside (In the models with the stone bead). The Genesa crystal is an excellent tool for healing since the structure draws in positive energy, cleanses, balances it and sends it back out. The small 1.5 cm Genesa Crystal pendant has an impact of a 30-50 meter radius so it can be used not just as a pendant but also as an "energy purifier" for the house and garden.
Stories from Life
David's Genesa crystal is one of the greatest influence models. The model is recommended for people who are facing sickness or any medical problems. It can also help people to become more open to the world. Here are two stories from life that emphasize the Genesa crystal effects:
One of David's friends called him one day and asked him to come by. The Genesa crystal was a new model. David decide to give her one with a ruby stone inside. The friend looked at him surprised, and said she had a dream that he invited her to come and give her a gift. Two months later she called and told David that she was suffering for a long time from fertility problem, but after she got the pendant things sorted out and she is pregnant.
The second story was about two parents that bought the Genesa crystal for their 4 year old child. The child saw the pendant at a shop and selected it. The child was suffering from communication problems that disappeared after wearing the pendant. David found out about this after the child lost the pendant and the parents came by to buy a new one.
PERSONAL CREATION - Man is only what he believeth, a brother of darkness or a child of the Light. (Emerald tablet of Thoth)
Personal Creation Shape
The Personal creation shape appeared in the year 1991 in Wessex, England, in a wheat field. On the morning of July 11 the at the foot of a Neolithic hill fort named Barbury Castle lay an enormous design, some 12,000 sq. yards in area. Local residents had reported mysterious lights the night before, accompanied by a loud rumble more intense and prolonged than thunder. A nearby town had also reported total loss of power, and its military base scrambled all helicopters.
Here was an unmistakable symbol, a design that is perhaps one of the most important in Hermetic philosophy. It is a cosmic law, a collection of numeric, musical and geometrical harmonies which founded the prevailing order in every ancient civilization. It is literally a depiction of the realm of God: it embodies the principle of the Three in One. It is representational of the cosmic egg, a symbol of creation where the three elements - mercury, sulphur and ether - are given substance by the breath of God and made into matter. The central circle contains the total area of the surrounding three circles. The sum of all circular areas comes to 31,680 sq. feet, with 3168 being the gematrian number representing Lord Jesus Christ. The same number was also revered by pagan religions as the number of the highest principle- the Creator.
Geometric Aspect of Personal Creation Shape and Cosmic Language
The personal creation shape contains complex mathematical equations like the Fibonacci series, Pi value, The Seed of Life, the Flower of Life, the Fruit of Life and the Tree of Life, all of which are embodied in this cipher. Cosmic Shapes function as an intelligent language for personal creation and living awareness. You may feel that your rational mind cannot grasp the meaning of the cosmic shapes, but your physical body and your sub-conscious receives the meaning of these symbols in a very powerful way. The shapes inside the personal creation symbol, communicate with the genetic library that is encrypted in our bodies and contains all the knowledge of the universe. This is why you may be drawn to this symbol.
The Path to Personal Creation
The universe is composed of frequencies (sounds), geometrical shapes and light. These three elements appear encrypted in the personal creation shape. The changes that will occur in the world in the next few years will open new and fascinating paths to personal creation, evolvement and the revelation of the truth behind all life.
- Symbols are a means of bringing subtle, inner realities to a focus in outward expression. Within the fundamental unity of consciousness, certain symbols, such as the lotus flower lifting itself in purity above the muddy water, possess universal relevance and power.
What Makes the Lotus Flower so Special?
The lotus flower is one of the most ancient and deepest symbols of our planet.
The lotus flower grows in muddy water and rises above the surface to bloom with remarkable beauty. At night the flower closes and sinks underwater, at dawn it rises and opens again. Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck.
Universal Symbol for Spiritual Unfoldment
- Egyptian Lotus flower
The Egyptian Lotus flower symbol was called Sesen in the Egyptian language. In the Egyptian mythology the lotus flower is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth.
Eastern Lotus Flower
In the East, the lotus flower is viewed as a symbol of spiritual unfoldment. The lotus has its roots in earthly mud, but as it grows upward in aspiration toward the light, its petals open out in a beautiful flower. Om Mani Padme Hum, meaning, "Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus" is the sacred mantra of the Tibetans.
Christian Lotus Flower
The Christian alternative to the lotus is the white lily which, relating to Mary as queen of heaven, signifies both fertility and purity. Traditionally the Archangel Gabriel carries the lily of the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary. "Blessed are the pure in heart," said Jesus, "for they shall see God." The teachings of the Galilean Master and those of India's great yogis were cut from the same cloth of self-realization.
Indian Yoga Lotus Flower
The Indian Lotus flower symbolizes divinity, fertility, wealth, knowledge and enlightenment. It is associated with the goddess of wealth, Maha Lakshmi, who brings prosperity, purity and generosity. She sits on a fully blossomed lotus flower, symbolizing purity, beauty and
everything that is good.
"We were talking - about the space between us all and the people -
Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion never glimpsing the truth
Then it's far too late when they pass away.
We were talking - about the love we all could share
When we find it - to try our best to hold it there - with our love
With our love we could save the world - if they only knew
Try to realize it's all within yourself - no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small
And life flows on within you and without you.
We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold
And the people who gain the world and lose their soul
They don't know, they can't see - are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself
Then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
And the time will come when you see we are all one
And life flows on within you and without you."
Lotus flower: Symbol of Spiritual Unfoldment By Swami Kriyananda
Lotus Jewelry - Meaningful Creation
Symbols are a means of bringing subtle, inner realities to a focus in outward expression. Within the fundamental unity of consciousness, certain symbols, such as the lotus lifting itself in purity above the muddy water, possess universal relevance and power. David's Lotus jewelry collection contains the Lotus Ring and lotus earrings with different stones.
Lotus Flower ring - Combination of Beauty and Modesty
The lotus ring contains the lotus flower symbol on both sides of the ring. The Hebrew engraving translation is: "Life flows within and without you". This sentence holds the secret of unification with the One. When our false Ego dissolves, we enter the state of unification with the whole - hence life flows within you and without you. The sentence is taken from a song by Swami Kriyananda

ALCHEMY SYMBOLS -
The shape of the alchemy pendant is called a cubeoctahedron. It's base is an octahedron (Double pyramid) whose ends were cut in 90 degrees angle. These shapes produce all the possible molecular structures, meaning all the reality as explained in the Flower of Life Pendant. These shapes come out from the fruit of life which is the pattern by which the spirit wears all the possible forms of creation.
It was this base metal which, in the marvelous alchemy of the spiritual journey, became transmuted into gold.
Alchemy - Ancient Egyptian Wisdom
Alchemy is the practice of transmutation of base metals into precious metals (gold or silver) with the aid of an esoteric substance called the "philosopher's stone". Alchemy is the ability to convert and exchange one matter for another through the use of human consciousness. The word alchemy is taken from the word Chem which is the ancient name of Egypt. The correct translation of the word Alchemy is Egyptian Wisdom.
Alchemy Symbol
The alchemy pendant symbol is made from a geometric shape called the cube octahedron. Its base is an octahedron (double pyramid) whose ends were cut in a 90 degree angle. The pendant is called alchemy symbol because of its ability to transform the nature surrounding it.
Buckminster Fuller Cube Octahedron
The Alchemy pendant shape and its significance was discovered by a researcher by the name of Buckminster Fuller, who found that by spinning the cube in an octahedron shape you produce all the five platonic solids. The five platonic solids produce all the possible molecular structures, meaning all the reality.
The Alchemy Symbol Structure and the Dolphin Grid
Every living species on this planet has an electro magnetic grid that surrounds it.
Some claim that the structure in this pendant is the structure of the grid of the most developed beings on this planet, the dolphins.
The alchemy pendant creates harmonious frequencies, purifying and balancing. It can be hanged in large spaces for purification and to create a harmonious atmosphere.
GORDIAN KNOT - Three is the mystery, come from the great one. Hear, and Light on thee will dawn.
The Gordian knot can be made on a Torus tube which looks like a donut or a sphere that turns in from one side and comes out the other in a perpetual motion. The Torus Tube contains many mathematical formulas and equations. Science began using this model as a geometric\mathematical model of the universe.
Sacred geometry made extensive use of this shape (Sacred geometry is an ancient teaching that stressed the one force or consciousness behind existence, through the laws of geometry). Even the human embryo has a Torus shape during its first stages of existence.
Alexander the Great and the Gordian Knot
The Gordian knot is associated in legend with Alexander the Great:
The knot was made by Gordias. It was further prophesied by an oracle that the one to untie the knot would become the king of Asia. In 333 BC, Alexander attempted to untie the knot. When he could find no end to the knot, he sliced it in half with a stroke of his sword (the so-called "Alexandrian solution").
The Gordian Knot and the Idea of Unity
According to ancient teachings, in the beginning there was a great void. This void is the creator, with no body, shape or definition. The Creation requires a definition of space and direction. The Torus tube provides this kind of definition by using the inside, the outside, and infinity. It can be used as a philosophical model of creation itself.
The Gordian knot is the simplest of all Torus knots. The shape represents the idea of the ONE GOD and the holy trinity relation which comes from the ONE and exists in everything (positive, negative and neutral).
The word ONE ("ECHAD" in Hebrew) and the word LOVE ("AHAVA in Hebrew), has a numerological value of 13. The number 13 contains the one and the three.
Gordian Knot Pendant
Many people claim they had dreams in which they were able to solve difficult "Karmatic" personal relations or situations during the daytime after wearing the Gordian knot pendant. The reason for this might be that the pendant symbolizes the idea of unity which binds everything into one...

The Age of Aquarius simply means that we are leaving the age of Pisces and entering into the Age of Aquarius. This change in the Age happens every two thousand years - the last one coincided with the arrival of Christ. Alternative medicine, astrology, vegetarianism and other subjects previously considered weird are growing rapidly in popularity, and are all subjects associated with the sign of Aquarius.
These subjects will become more and more commonplace. Astrology and other mystical methods of self understanding will help people to become more in tune with their spiritual selves. People are already beginning to look within for the answers they seek, instead of outwards to money, possessions and other people.
This Golden Age is destined to synthesize all religious regimes and free the minds of ignorance and delusion. Each human being will begin his or her individual journey within, and strive to become the new race of super conscious humans awakening seekers of Truth and the eternal Spirit, healing peoples of many tongues and nations in the process.
Age of Aquarius and the Kabbalah
The holy book of the Zohar says: "All the celestial treasures and the hidden riddles that have not been solved for generations will be discovered in the Age of Aquarius".
There are symbols that reveal hidden knowledge from the forgotten ages, knowledge that the Zohar spoke of and the cabalists hinted at. This knowledge reveals the basic essence of people and nature. The nature of this knowledge is essentially geometric and millions of people all over the world have been drawn to it in the past few years.
"You need to engrave very deeply within your mind and know that there is no reality without the blessed one. He is within every single movement in the world. The nature, (HATEVA in Hebrew) has the same numerological value as the word God (ELOHIM in Hebrew). The blessed one wore the nature clothes inanimate, vegetable, living, speaking"
(Rabbi Nachman from Braslev)
The Kabala says that The Creator and the Nature are the same and brings the same numerological equivalents (in Hebrew), HATEVA=86 and ELOHIM=86. For thousands of years, humans have lived in a state of chaos, hatred, fear, diseases and destruction all of which are caused by duality.
Symbols from the Age of Aquarius
From the time that man ate from the tree of knowledge, he has not been able to see the existence of the ONE that stands behind all things. Some symbols show through geometry and mathematics, the existence of the one creator that exists within everything. The Kabbalah speaks of the Tree of Life, as the key to the entire universe and all the dimensions of creation. In these symbols, one can see the embodiment of the creator in all things.
The cycle of creation is also embodied in the Tree of Life, and the rest of the geometrical patterns that are spread all over the world which give us the cosmic "D.N.A".
The Seed of Life, Flower of Life and Fruit of Life patterns have existed in Judaism for many generations and can be found in ancient synagogues and ancient prayer books; although their significance has been forgotten through the years.
As we enter the Age of Aquarius, forgotten knowledge rises up again showing us the secret of creation. Rabbi Yehuda Alay who was a friend of Rabbi Shimeon Bar Yochai the author of The Zohar said: "When all the nations in the world will accept the Kingdom of God, we also will return to his kingdom as it is written - When God is king over all the earth, on that day God will be One and his name One"
Sacred Geometry and the Age of Aquarius
Sacred Geometry exists beyond religion, belief or nationality. It unites us all in the belief of the One. By understanding the concept of the One, each of us can take control over our own lives and break free of the circle of chaos in the material world, which Judaism calls 'the world of lies'.
Kreat shema - ONE God or God is ONE?
The holy Ari (Rabbi Yitzhak Lorie) was said to have descended from the world of unification. Jews all over the world say the "Kreat shema" every day: "Hear o Israel, the Lord is our God, our Lord is one". Before his passing, Jacob called his sons to him, and asked them to swear that they will continue to believe in the one God. Since then Jacob's descendants call to him, reminding him that they did not forget their oath "Hear o Israel (Israel is Jacob's second name that was given to him by the angel) the Lord is our God, the Lord is one". When this is said they close their eyes, why? This is because we live in an illusory world, a separated world, and by closing our eyes we can separate ourselves for a little while from the illusory world and connect with the One!
SEED OF LIFE -
Seed of Life Creation - Symbol of Creation and Fertility
The Seed of Life is a symbol for the seven days of creation.
The first step was the creation of the Octahedron. The next step was to spin the shape on its axes. In this way a sphere is formed (see diagram 7). Bear in mind that the creator's consciousness exists within the Sphere, and the only thing that really exists is the membrane of the sphere itself.
The next thing the creator's consciousness did was to go to the outside surface of the sphere, (the old testament refers to "the spirit of the Creator floating upon the face of the waters") and creating another using the same process of creating an octahedron and turning it into a sphere. By creating the second sphere the Almighty actually created light. In projecting another converted octahedron into a sphere on the surface of the first sphere, you will get the image of two circles crossing each other in their centers, a shape known as Vesica Pisces (diagram 7a). This pattern is a geometrical formula which represents the electromagnetic spectrum of light (for further information how this can be done, check out Drunvalo Melchizedek's book "The Ancient Secret of The Flower of Life Vol.2") and the first thing that God created was light - "Let there be light".
In continuing to duplicate the spheres and creating further Vesica Pisces you will see many aspects of creation driven out of the geometrical structures, emerging out from the vortex motion by this continuous creation of more Vesica Pisces. The continuation of the creation process can be seen in diagrams 7b to 7f.
Diagram 7b being day two of the creation.
Diagram 7c being day three of the creation.
Diagram 7d being day four of the creation.
Diagram 7e being day five of the creation.
Diagram 7f being day six of the creation.
Note that here the seven day creation process ends. The Seed of Life is fully formed on the "SHABBAT", the day of rest. The first vortex is completed and the seed which contains the blue print of the universe is fully formed.
Seed of Life is the Origin of All
The Seed of Life is a stage before the shape known as the Flower of Life which produces the "Fruit of Life". The Fruit of life is the blueprint of the universe; it contains every atom, molecular structure, life form and eventually everything in existence. Therefore, all things existing can be built from the shape of the seed of life.
Seed of Life in all Major Religions
In the 13th Century, a Cabalist's group from France succeeded, through geometric interpretation, to divide the entire Hebrew alphabet in its correct order using the Seed of Life. The resulting alphabet was in fact remarkably similar to that of the Religious sage Rashi who wrote his commentaries on the Old Testament at that time in France.
The Seed of Life is used in all religions and can be seen in many original sites e.g. Synagogues, churches, Kabbalah prayer books, and of course, the ancient Osirian temple in Abydos Egypt, the source of all the major religions and mystical studies.
Seed of Life Pendant
The Seed of Life Pendant is a symbol of blessing and protection passed through generations; it contains the secret of the seven days of the creation. It can be worn as a symbol of blessing and fertility.

FLOWER OF LIFE -
Symbol of all Major Religions - Sacred Geometry Pattern of the Universe
The Most Sacred Geometry Symbol
The "Flower of Life" can be found in all major religions of the world. In Egypt, the source of all the monotheistic religions, the "Flower of Life" can be found in the ancient Temple of Abydos. In Israel it can be found in ancient synagogues in the Galilee and in Mesada. The "Flower of Life" contains the patterns of creation as they emerged from the "Great Void". Everything is made from the Creator's thought.
Flower of life Creation
After the creation of the Seed of Life (See the article about the seed of life) the same vortex's motion was continued, creating the next structure known as the Egg of Life (diagram 8). In three dimensional forms it looks like diagram 4. This structure forms the basis for music, as the distances between the spheres is identical to the distances between the tones and the half tones in music.
It is also identical to the cellular structure of the third embryonic division (The first cell divides into two cells, then to four cells then to eight). Thus this same structure as it is further developed, creates the human body and all of the energy systems including the ones used to create the Merkaba. If we continue creating more and more spheres we will end up with the structure shown in diagram 8a. This structure is called the Flower of Life.
Fruit of Life Inside the flower of Life
The flower of life holds a secret symbol created by drawing 13 circles out of the Flower of Life as shown in diagram 8b. By doing this, one can discover the most important and sacred pattern in the universe. This is the source of all that exists; it's called the Fruit of Life. It contains 13 informational systems. Each one explains another aspect of reality. Thus these systems are able to give us access to everything ranging from the human body to the galaxies. In the first system, for example, it's possible to create any molecular structure and any living cellular structure that exists in the universe. In short every living creature.
Platonic Solids
By connecting all the middle points of the 13 circles to each other, one gets the pattern shown in diagram 8c. This is known as the Metatron Cube. Inside it are five three- dimensional shapes known as the Platonic Solids. These five shapes and all their combinations create all the possible structures in the universe, such as the embryonic cell division existing in every living creature.
This is only the first informational system within the "Fruit of Life", which is derived from the Flower of Life. The Ancient Egyptians used to hide this way of producing the "Fruit of Life" from the "Flower of Life" by drawing the "Flower of Life" without some of its outer circles and drawing two circles around the inner circles. This is similar to the inner and outer membranes of the ovum surrounding the embryonic cells.
King Akhenaton Flower of Life
The special qualities within the Flower of Life were taught in Egypt in the 18th Dynasty, during the reign of King Akhenaton. He established three schools of mysticism:
The Right Eye of Horus
Dedicated to the left (masculine) side of the brain. This side controls logic, calculation as well as the ability to understand geometry and spatial relations. Its aim was to prove the existence of one spirit that exists everywhere and in everything.
The Left Eye of Horus
Dedicated to the right (feminine) side of the brain (emotion and sensitivity side).
The Middle Eye of Horus
Dedicated to life itself.
The Egyptians were aware of dimensions and referred to a higher level of existence called "The Fourth Dimension", known as the "after life". The aim of the schools was to reinstate the knowledge of the "One true force - the almighty" that exists everywhere and in everything. This knowledge which came from the advanced Atlantean race was lost 13,000 years ago with the destruction of Atlantis. This loss resulted in "good and evil", duality consciousness.
King Akhenaton, as a messenger of the ascended masters, reintroduced monotheism to his subjects whom, due to the long passage of time had forgotten this Atlantean knowledge. The Egyptian idols were only symbols of the one true God, the "Neter Neteru", that which is beyond definition. Egyptian mythology was transformed into a form of symbolic calculus, by which the sages interpreted the evolution of spiritual states and psychic landscapes. Her religious teachings promoted unity and monotheism but it was never defined beyond the simplistic "Neter Neteru". This Pharaoh's death left behind a legacy that was the source of all the modern monotheistic religions.
The Tree of Life is one of the most familiar of the Sacred Geometry Symbols. The structure of the Tree of Life is connected to the sacred teachings of the Jewish Kabbalah but can be seen 3,000 years earlier in Egypt. It is possible to see the Tree of Life structure in many places around the conscious universe. The structure is represented in nature and relates to the Flower of Life.
The Tree of Life and Seed of Life are products of the same likeness; it is simply the centers of the circles of the Flower of Life and the Seed of Life (See diagram 3).
The Kabbalah Tree of Life is a representation of the thirty-two paths comprised of the ten sefirot and the twenty-two paths through which they run. The Tree of Life describes the descent of the divine into the manifest world, and methods by which the divine union may be attained in this life. It can be viewed as a map of the human psyche, and of the workings of creation, both manifest and not. It is important to realize that the pure nature of divinity is unity, and that the seemingly separate aspects or emanations exist only in view of the emanated, living in a state of illusory separation.
The names and numbers of the ten sefirot are given in order below.
1 - Kether (Crown) or Kether Elyon (Supreme Crown)
2 - Chokmah (Wisdom)
3 - Binah (Understanding or Intelligence)
4 - Chesed (Mercy or Grace) or Gedullah (Greatness)
5 - Geburah (Severity or Power), Din (Judgement) or Pahad (Fear)
6 - Tifereth (Beauty) or Rahamim (Mercy)
7 - Netsach (Victory or Constancy)
8 - Hod (Glory or Majesty)
9 - Yesod (Foundation) or Tsedek (Justice)
10 - Malkuth (Kingdom) or Shekhinah (Divine Immanence)
Tree of Life and the Struggle Between Light and Darkness
To help us understand the importance of the Tree of Life, a story can be told that characterizes the struggle between light and darkness:
On the light side the archangel Michael and on the dark side Satan, who abandoned the creator to create a different reality of his own (if you reverse the name SATAN in the Hebrew language you will get the word natash which means-abandoned in Hebrew). Satan (also known as LUCIFER which means THE BRIGHT AND SHINING ONE since he was the most magnificent and brilliant angle ever created), was aware of all the secrets of the creation and the Flower of Life. The first thing he did was to take the construction of the Egg of Life and spin it into a different point of view or perception instead of the star tetrahedron point of view, which can be derived from this shape (check out our explanation about the Flower of Life). This procedure changed our perception of reality. Satan repeated the process of creation out of the great void but instead of copying the actions of the creator, he changed the process of creation out of the great void. Instead of repeating God's creation and creating the seed of life structure, and creating one sphere at a time in a vortex motion, he divided spirit into two; creating two centers (See diagram 2-2C). In this way there are two centers instead of one.
LIGHT and DARKNESS
There is no vortex motion of creating one sphere at a time; instead there is only a duplication process just like cell division only without a certain order or shape. Unlike GOD'S creation which can be seen in the embryo cell division, which provides perfect shapes during the cellular mitosis through the different stages of development. This is the difference between LIGHT and DARKNESS. Light is order, the cosmic laws of creation, while darkness is chaos and death.
Illusion Reality
This action created reality that is separated from that of the creator. This version of reality is an illusion. It is a reality where unity is unseen between that which exists and all that happens, thus experiencing reality as good and evil. Therefore one does not feel real love just the use of the intellect.
Tree of life vs. Tree of Knowledge
In the Bible there is a description of the Tree of Knowledge (Satan's creation) and the Tree of Life (God's original reality). "The Tree of Life is in the garden and the Tree of Knowledge good and evil". If one tries to draw the Tree of Life upon Satan's dual Flower of Life he will find it impossible as there is no compatibility between them.
Tree of Life Pendant
The pendant of the Tree of Life forms the key to God's original creation. The pendant's size itself fits exactly to the size of the Seed of Life and the Flower of Life, and can be used as a sign of unity and love as each structure together creates a perfect match. The Tree of Life symbolizes the true existence of God's creation, the only reality to enable the fulfillment of ones destiny and true potential.

"Meditate on the symbols I give thee. Keys are they, though hidden from men."
This meditation came to me three years ago during a Merkaba meditation session. The story of the meditation came about with an enigma that is connected to Sefer Yetzira, to the Merkaba meditation or the kabalistic seven gates meditation, the Sefer Hazohar by Rabbi Shimeon bar Yochai, and the jewelry that I design.
Unconditional Love
The meditation itself is an excellent tool for any kind of manifestation both spiritual and physical. When you start this meditation you have to keep in mind that the true nature of creation is unconditional love (I have separated myself from myself so that I will be able to love myself). Do not try to use this meditation in order to gain something for yourself alone. Remember all is one and everything is in its own perfection inside the whole.
So Let's Begin...
Start with a meditation (I use the Merkaba meditation) and let your thoughts dissolve and disappear. Then place yourself in an empty endless void. Now place your wish or goal in this void and turn it into a bright shining white Spark in the endless void, creating an axis from this spark-up and down. The next step is to create another axis at the same length as the first one, this time create it from the middle of the first axis, where the first spark is and pull it backward and forward. The next step is to create another axis from the middle to the left and to the right, and then connect all the end points of the axis to each other.
The structure you'll create is an octahedron, a double pyramid. If you know Sacred Geometry, then you are probably familiar with the five Platonic solids. These five elements are the basic foundation for every structure in existence. One of them, the Octahedron (the double pyramid) is the basic foundation for the three dimensions.
The next step is to rotate the octahedron on each one of the axis. This will turn the octahedron to a sphere. At this point, in order to bring our idea to life we will repeat the process of the embryo cell division. Keep in mind that the secret of creation is the one who separated itself from itself. Everything beyond this false reality is one, however this one separated itself into a multitude of beings, therefore creation always starts with division. That is the reason the first chapter of genesis starts with the Hebrew letter "Beit" which equals 2.
So the next thing we will do is to divide the sphere into two spheres, in two dimensions it will be the Vesica Pisces, the two circles crossing each other in the middle, the symbol of the first day of creation and the symbol of light. The next step is to divide these two cells to four; place three spheres at the base and one at the top so that you will create a tetrahedron, the four-facets structure that symbolizes the four faces of God.
The next division (the third) will create the eight cells structure of the Egg of Life.
If you will connect all the middle points of the spheres you will get a three dimensional Star of David. This eight cell structure contains the secrets of the musical scales which are the keys to the different dimensions. This structure contains the infinite potential of every living creature.
At this point there is a perfect balance of both masculine and feminine forces that is the point of balance. It is also connected to the structure of the Cube octahedron which contains all the five Platonic structures.
From this point all you have to is to multiply the 8 to 16 (just focus on the numbers), the 16 to 32 ,the 32 to 64,the 64 to 128,the 128 to 256 and the 256 to 512.
Every multi cell living creature starts to wear its own unique form. Now say the Hebrew word "Chai", alive, and know, feel and believe that your thoughts taken here are already formed in the higher planes of existence.
Sacred Geometry
I used this after I studied sacred geometry, and to my surprise I found out the next description of the beginning of creation from the Ancient kabala book "Sefer Hayetzira" (the Book of Creation):
"He (God) selected three letters from among the simple ones and sealed them and formed them into a Great Name,
I H V, and with this He sealed the universe in six directions.
Fifth; He looked above, and sealed the Height with I H V.
Sixth; He looked below, and sealed the Depth with I V H.
Seventh; He looked forward, and sealed the East with H I V.
Eighth; He looked backward, and sealed the West with H V I.
Ninth; He looked to the right, and sealed the South with V I H.
Tenth; He looked to the left, and sealed the North with V H I.
Behold! From the Ten ineffable Sephiroth do, proceed the One Spirit of the Gods of the living, Air, Water, Fire; and also Height, Depth, East, West, South and North".
Merkaba Meditation and the Cosmic Language
Here are some interested things that I've discovered. At one point when I came up to the end of the meditation I saw the Hebrew letters "Reish", "Sheen", "Beit" and "Yood". At first I didn't get it, but a short calculation brought up the number 512. The name Rashbi is the name of Rabi Shimeon Bar Yochai who is considered to be the author of the "Zohar". When I checked it out I've found a quote from an ancient kabalistic book from the 11th century which is called "The writings Of the Temples and The Merkaba".
It deals with the higher planes of existence and "The Seven Palaces" with the different guardian angels standing on each gate and so on. On the seventh palace the traveler will see the four Serafim with the four faces lion, bull, eagle and man. Then he will see 64 faces, 128 eyes and 256 wings before he will watch the throne of God.
If you will look and count the steps you've just made in the meditation from the four cells or the tetrahedron point you will see that it takes seven steps to go to 512!
Cosmic Language
The book goes on and says that if the traveler's soul is pure enough he will enter the seventh gate and stand before the throne. What I've discovered is that the meditation opened a path to a flow of knowledge that appears as a cosmic language, that can be found in symbols and "hints" in the everyday aspects of life. Two months later, I have created the Genesa Crystal pendant.
Merkaba from the Biblical Prophet
Now this whole theme describes the Vision of The Merkaba from the biblical prophet Yehezkel and the structure of the cube octahedron represents the "Ofanim", the wheels within wheels that create the Merkaba.
MERKABA - A Powerful Tool for Healing and Self Balance
What is Merkaba?
In order to explain what the Merkaba is, we must first generally explain the flow of energy and energy fields that surround the human body. The first definition refers to the Prana or Chi - This is the Life force. This unseen energy exists everywhere in the universe in great quantities. Prana enters the body through the top of our head (this is the reason there is a hole in the skull of unborn embryos). The major Prana flow runs through the center of our body looking like a tube. From there it flows into eight main centers known as Chakras. This is an Indian Sanskrit word meaning "turning wheel", due to the look of these complex energy flows. According to the early Egyptians there are thirteen chakras as they relate to different energy centers.
From the "Chakras" we have branched energetic lines (meridians) that reach every cell in our body. We have a Prana field that surrounds our body as a result of the meridians and the Prana flow. Then there is the field of the aura. The auric field is an egg shaped energy field that surrounds our body and change its color according to our thoughts, feelings and emotions. After the auric field we have hundreds of electromagnetic fields. These fields have precise geometrical shapes. Each one of them is made up of three identical fields with the same size and shape.
The Prana fields is the star tetrahedron, a three dimensional Star of David. A person is able to rotate two of the three star tetrahedron fields in opposite directions by using the ancient Prana breathing technique, thus creating a huge 17 meter energy field - our light body, the Merkaba.
Merkaba for Healing and Balance
The varieties of benefits of using the Merkaba are greatly varied:
It is a most powerful healing and protection tool. By utilizing the ancient Prana breathing technique, we are able to restore the Prana flow through the pineal gland at the center of our brain. This revived use of our gland, which has been virtually dormant for 13,000 years allows the heightened use of our telepathic and extra sensory perception abilities.
The Merkaba balances and revives the activities between the two sides of our brain. Such training strengthens our sensitivities and mental abilities, (at this time we use only 5-10% of our brain). The Merkaba assists us in our spiritual growth .It connects us with our higher self (i.e. ourselves on a higher level of consciousness).
The Merkaba enables us to feel unconditional love thus healing ourselves as well as others. It gives us the possibility of creating any kind of harmonious reality we desire. The Merkaba can be "programmed" to do anything (the only drawback being our own belief and imagination).
The Merkaba is also a tool that can be used to transcend into other dimensions. Revived studies and practices of the Merkaba are emerging all over the world after so many years of being suppressed from different sources, including the Old Testament, Kabala and even the traditional Tarot cards.
The Merkaba pendant is a powerful symbol and reminder to those wearing it of the power of the Merkaba and its special healing and protective characteristics.
In the book "Dune" the author Frank Herbert, describes the rise of the Messiah 8000 years from now. Herbert, who studied among other subjects ecology, psychology and eastern philosophies, created a reliable world that describes in minute detail the rise of "qwitzat haderach" - the messiah (qfitzat haderech is an ancient kabalistic term that describes the ability to be in two places at once). The whole book is interwoven with wisdom that can serve the enlightened reader in his personal growth.
The process and change that the books' hero, Paul Atreides, goes through is in fact a process of enlightenment and divine consciousness, and the recognition of our higher self that exists within us all.
One of the lines in the book is: "That which submits rules". This short sentence holds the secret of true human enlightenment. All the cosmic forms are creative expressions of one force. All the mystical traditions say that one can experience cosmic unity through various exercises, by which the practitioner gradually eliminates his false identity (self) and his connection to the material world. In the end, the practitioner is able to fully experience the whole cosmos every single moment. When this is achieved the higher self is awakened.
The conscious person understands and experiences cosmic perfection in everything and what results is true awareness of all the processes and occurrences within the universe. He remains totally uncritical of anything. He who awakens to unified cosmos has powers, vision and wisdom that are far greater than the average person who is still identifying with the illusion and the false "self".
Kwizatz Haderach
The hero of the book, Paul Muad dib serves as an example of a new kind of human being, who is transformed and unites his consciousness with the greater cosmic purpose.
This transformation is achieved when the hero drinks the "Water of life". The author describes the hero as the "Kwizatz Haderach" a man who is able to look beyond the masculine and feminine limitations and aspects of creation. To seek unity with the "One" and to look beyond the process of creation itself to within the great void.
The term "Kwizatz Haderach" was taken from the kabalistic term "qfitzat haderech" - meaning a "short cut" or the ability to be at different places at the same time.
Is Dune a Prophetic Novel?
In depth reading of the book raises the question: is Dune a prophetic novel?
The book was written in the early 1960s. The book is dedicated to: "Those whose actions differ from the realm of ideas to the kingdom of solid reality. To the ecologists of the desert plains, whoever they may be, in each generation, to them I dedicate this experiment in predicting the future with humility and admiration".
At the writing of this book, the two main superpowers of the world were the U.S.S.R and the U.S.A. Frank Herbert focused on the future and saw the rising power of the Jihad and Islamic extremism taking over the civilized world. The book is full of Muslim terms. The hero of the book is called the "Mahdi"- the Muslim Messiah.
An Interesting Similarity to the Present Time (2004)
The defeated Caesar is called "Shaddam". The world in which the battle takes place is called "Arrakis". The battle is for the control of the "Spice m'lange". Now just change the name "Shaddam" to "Saddam", "Arrakis" to "Iraq" and the "Spice M'lange" to "oil". The most surprising element is a new young Shi'ite leader in Iraq whose followers call the "Mahdi"Š.
Dune Ring
Dune ring engraving - That which submits rules - The Dune ring is engraved with the Hebrew translation of the sentence "He who surrenders rules". In Judaism, there is a story in the ancient Gemmara where the Creator showed Moses at the time he received the Ten Commandments the future time. He showed him a man called Rabbi Akiva who will be given the secret of the "Tagim" (the small lines that appear above the Hebrew letters in the Torah Scrolls). When Moses saw the modesty of Rabbi Akiva, he told the Creator that he should give the commandments to Rabbi Akiva. The Creator's answer was "keep silent - rise within the thought". The Gemmara explains that the word "keep silent" doesn't mean in ancient Hebrew - "shut up!" rather "cancel yourself". In other words the Creator tells Moses to transcend himself so that he can ascent and understand the Cosmic Thought.
Dune Ring Elements
The hawk that appears in the center of the Dune ring is the symbol of the House of Atreides, from whom the "Qwitzat Haderach" is derived. The hawk represents the higher self who sees the entire big picture and symbolizes the understanding of the "cosmic thought".
The green emerald stones on the blackened Dune ring's surface, symbolize the black and green flag of the House of Atreides, while the green emerald also symbolizes the heart center and compassion.
The Arabic writing on the Dune ring is a variation of the Arabic nickname of Paul Atreides "lisan il gayeb" meaning "The language of the one who came".
The Hebrew letters style of the engraving "hanichna hoo hasholet" "That which submits rules", were taken from the Dead Sea scrolls.
Dune Pendant
The meaning of the Hebrew words written on the pendant is "from the waters shall come all life". The design of the Dune pendant is inspired by the water jewelry worn by native people of the desert planet Arrakis.
The Dune pendant is a small vessel sealed with water. I have personally conducted my own experiments based upon the principles of sacred geometry and the Book of "Zohar", where through concentrated meditation I have been able to change the quality, taste and vibration of the water.
The wearer may experience an initial short term reaction to this higher energy vibration until he or she becomes accustomed to wearing the Dune pendant. The pendant conveys water's molecular secret that is common to so many of the world's religious beliefs.
The pendant holds within it the cosmic secret inherent in the triangular molecular composition of water, which is the key to all life in the universe.
Herbert states in his book that water is the key to all life in the cosmos and because of its great value it was worn as a precious jewel by the native people of Dune -The Fremen.
VESICA PISCES -
The shape of the Vesica Pisces is derived from the intersection of two circles, the Pythagorean "measure of the fish" that was a mystical symbol of the intersection of the world of the divine with the world of matter and the beginning of creation. The Vesica Pisces is used in a wide range of symbolism:
1. The joining of God and Goddess
2. A symbol for Jesus Christ
3. The vagina of the female goddess
4. The basic motif in the Flower of Life
5. An overlay of the Tree of Life
6. A geometrical description of square roots and harmonic proportions
Vesica Pisces Pendant
The Vesica Pisces pendant is a description of the Cherubim which were set upon the Ark of the Covenant. The Cherubim are holding the Vesica Pisces. On one side of the pendant appears the Hebrew word "Tohu Va Vohu" and on the other side "eheye asher eheye".
"TOHU VA VOHU" - Movement then Rest
Let's take the first line of the book of Genesis:
"Bereshit bara elohim et hashamaim veet haaretz vehaaretz haita tohu va vohu vechoshech al pney tehom" - which means - "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep."
The old testament states that in the beginning, God created the earth and the sky and that the earth was "TOHU VA VOHU" (darkness upon the void). The Hebrew word "TOHU VA VOHU" was seen by most people as chaos, a lack of any order. However, it is written that the land was darkness upon the void. In other words, an empty space, a void, nothingness - and nothingness cannot be in a state of disorder! The solution to the meaning of the word is hidden in the word itself and its sound. Repeat the word "TOHU VA VOHU" - it's a sound that repeats itself - "movement then rest". When we start to examine what matter is made of we get to molecules and then to atoms. Atoms are composed of particles moving around each other at great speed. When scientists searched for what these particles are made of they found various wave lengths (frequencies).
Movement and Rest - a Vibration
The simplest way to understand a vibration is to imagine constantly repeating "movement" and "rest". The human ear can hear 30 to 16000 vibrations ("movement" and "rest") per second. In fact, everything is made of frequencies, even the "matter" we previously mentioned.
The first letters of "Tohu Va Vohu" creates the Hebrew word "TAV" - a musical note. These letters also create the initials of "TENOOAA VEMENOOCHA" (Movement and rest translation to Hebrew).
"Vayomer" - And God Said
Another interesting thing that I've discovered is that the remaining letters that are the gap between the "Tav" and the "Vav" create the number 12 which is the number of notes in the musical scale, while the word "Tav" creates the 13th number which is the great void between the different harmonies. Therefore, all that exists including our self is made from frequency. That is the reason that God speaks (creates a sound) during the creation process, "Vayomer" - "God said". That is the reason we call the things that surround us "Dvarim" meaning "things", from the Hebrew word "deebur" meaning to speak, and the word "dvarim" which means "things that were spoken".
God's Name
The next hint concerning "who or what I am?" comes from the story of Moses who walked in the desert where he saw the burning bush. In those days people believed that a person's name reflected his nature - and Moses who wanted to know the true nature of the One God, asked his name and God answered "eheye asher eheye" - the true translation of this sentence is "I am becoming what I am becoming". Moses totally understood God's answer but because he knew that the children of Israel would not understand the depth of God's answer he asked - "when the children of Israel will ask me for the name of the God that sent me what should I tell them?" God answered Moses and said - tell them that "eheye" sent you!
God's answers have also been distorted over time and their significance have been changed and forgotten. God simply said to Moses: my name is "I am becoming what I am becoming" tell the children of Israel - "that which will become" sent you. The traditional English translation distorted the original true meaning of the Hebrew writing because it was translated incorrectly to "I am that I am". Now, since you are surrounded by "things" what is the only thing in creation that is certain? The answer is CHANGE. Nothing stays in the same state forever. "The only thing that is constant in life is change". Everything that exists changes and is in motion. If the frequency that governs all will stop then all that exists would disappear and creation would stop.
The God or the force that created all does not have a name. He is a frequency that is constantly evolving and changing therefore he is "becoming" and has no form or definition. The meanings of one of God's Hebrew "names" - "YEHOVA" can be translated as I AM BECOMING or I AM IN A "BECOMING" PROCESS - TAKING A FORM.
God is Within Us All
The jewelry that we create symbolizes the geometric patterns that are created by the various wave lengths of the one frequency. This frequency also wears your image - you are God in a specific level of development. Throughout history there were individuals who came to the realization that they are God. Some were crucified, tortured and persecuted. Those who come from the darkness hide the truth or hid nature from man for their own power, because when man finds the One within himself there is no longer a need for external teachers or guidance.
The cosmic joke is that many religious people have no belief at all in the existence of God because they believe in the external (superficial) and thereby take all responsibility for their own lives off themselves.
All is one leads to unconditional love because YOU ARE GOD AND THEREFORE ALL THE ANSWERS AND THE UNDERSTANDING ARE TO BE FOUND WITHIN YOURSELF. That is the reason for the concept of "unconditional love" - when we hate someone we hate ourselves because all - everything and everyone is the one God.
People who do spiritual activities and connect themselves consciously to the one frequency will often experience other individuals' thoughts and emotions or perhaps if they are enlightened, they will experience the entire universe when their individual artificial consciousness merges with the One.
The World of Lies - Maya
The old testament forbids the practice of external "channeling" and foretelling the future (which are very common among the "new age people"). The reason for this is that the person who looks for external answers "betrays" the true God within. That is one of the reasons the external world is called in ancient Aramaic in Judaism "ALMA DE SHIKRA" - THE WORLD OF LIES and "Maya" which means "illusion" in the Hindu tradition.
Tibetan Mandala and Vesica Pisces
The concept of the frequency that governs all, exists in all cultures starting with the "TOHU VA VOHU" in the old testament or the "OM" - the sound, the frequency that created everything (O-M, movement and rest, a frequency).The Tibetans create their beautiful Mandalas from colored sand and if you'll take a metal plate and cover it with sand and make it vibrate with different sounds you will be able to see different structures that are formed in the sand, that are very similar to the sand Mandalas. In the end, after a few weeks when the Mandala is finished, they simply wipe the sand off Mandala to show the non attachment to the illusion of the external, and also to show the constant change and the process of life and death that takes place in the external world of illusion.
Movement and Rest in Egyptian Writing
In 1949, ancient writings were found in Egypt at Nag Hammadi - known as the Nag Hamadi scriptures. These writings contain the teachings of Yeshua - Jesus. In one of the parts, Jesus told his disciples that the SIGN OF THE FATHER (GOD) IS WITHIN THEM. Then he asked "and when they will ask what is the sign of thy father within you tell them it is MOVEMENT AND REST".

The Golden Spiral structure represents two well known sacred geometry shapes: the golden mean (phi) spiral and the Fibonacci spiral. It is a based on a crop circle shape known as the "Hackpen Hill Formation" and it appeared in an English wheat field in 1999.
The World of Lies - Maya
Phi (Golden Mean) - "The Key to the Physics of the Cosmos" (plato)
Phi is a constant value which is even more mysterious and profound in its implications than pi. Like pi, phi is a number with no arithmetical solution. The decimals just keep on going into infinity without ever repeating themselves. The unique thing about this number is that it can be found incorporated in all known organic structures. From the bone structure of human beings to the seed pattern of a sunflower to the spiral of a sea shell, the phi proportion is there, underlying all biological structures, seeming to be a geometrical blueprint for life itself.
Plato went so far as to call the phi ratio the "key to the physics of the cosmos". Phi is calculated at 1.6180339+..., and while it cannot be worked out arithmetically, it can be easily obtained with a compass and straightedge.
Finding the Golden Mean
Two simple ways of finding the Golden Section geometrically are as follows:
Method one
If you take two equal squares, side by side, (a 1x2 rectangle), divide one of the squares in half, and with a compass, swing the diagonal down to the base of the other square, the point where the diagonal touches the base will be phi, or 1.6180339+, in relation to the side of the square, which is 1 (This formula also describes exactly the rectangular floor of the King's Chamber).
Method two
The other method of determining the Golden Section is by dividing a line segment, AB, at a point C, in such a way that the whole line is longer than the first part in the same proportion as the first part being longer than the remainder. AB/AC = AC/CB = 1.6180339 (notice the fractal and holographic nature of this ratio...).
Whoever cultivates the golden mean, avoids both the poverty of a hovel and the envy of a palace.
(Ancient Roman poet)
Golden Mean in Architecture
The phi ratio is found in the architecture of the Great Pyramid in the triangle formed by the height, half-base, and the apothem, or diagonal. In other words, the basic cross - section of the structure demonstrates the Golden Section. If the half - base is given a value of 1, this gives the value of phi for the apothem, and the square root of phi for the height. The Golden Section shows up again and again in Giza and in much more baffling and tedious ways (Entire volumes have been written on the geometries involved in the pyramids construction).
Fibonacci Sequence and the Golden Spiral
There is a number sequence, known as the Fibonacci sequence, which bears a special relationship to phi, and to the pyramids at Giza. First postulated by the medieval mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, this sequence was used to describe the growth patterns of plants. It goes: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233, etc. It is made by adding the last two numbers of the sequence to get the next one, as in: 1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5, 3+5=8, 5+8=13, etc.
This sequence's relationship to phi is that if you divide one term of the sequence into the next one, the result begins to quickly approach the transcendental number 1.6180339+... (I won't make you do the math. Just watch...)
1/1=1 2\1=2 3\2=1.5 5\3=1.66 13/8=1.625
21/13=1.615 34\21=1.619 55\34=1.617 89\55=1.6181
The further you go down the sequence, the closer you get to phi. Of course, you can never actually get to it exactly, since it has no mathematical solution, it just keeps getting closer and closer, to infinity.
The sequence can be graphed out in the form of a spiral, called the Fibonacci Spiral. This spiral is almost identical to the graph of the logarithmic spiral of the phi ratio, known as the Golden Mean Spiral (The difference is that the Fibonacci spiral is a whole number interpretation of the arithmetically impossible Golden Mean spiral, which has no beginning or end. The Fibonacci spiral has a definite beginning).
Fibonacci Spiral and the Pyramids of Giza
Aerial photographs show that the pyramids at Giza are positioned in such a way that they fall on a line which accurately defines a Fibonacci spiral. The spiral passes exactly through the centers of each pyramid.

MOBIUS RING -
That which is below is from that which is above, working the miracles of one
(Emerald tablet of Hermes)
Mobius Ring - a Ring with only One Facet
The Mobius ring is the actualization of number of major spiritual ideas that are well established in sacred geometry. To make a Mobius strip, take a paper page and cut it into a strip (24cm height, 4cm width for the sake of convenience). Now give one of the two ends half a twist and then reattach the two ends. This way you will create a Mobius strip. The Mobius ring has only one side. To see it clearly, take a pen and draw a line on the paper ring so that the end of the line reaches the beginning of that same line. You will end up drawing the line on the whole surface of the ring.
There is no difference between the inside and the outside of the Mobius ring. This is an example of the creator which created everything from him self. Man perceives reality in a dualistic manner for good and evil. The dualistic perception of reality does not recognize the one force behind existence.
Cutting the Mobius Strip into Two!
Take scissors and cut the Mobius strip in the middle - instead of two rings you will end up with one larger Mobius ring! This shows the idea of duality - when you perceive the One through the duality perception you get the illusion.
Cutting the Mobius Strip into Three!
Now, cut the strip about 1/3 from the width. You will end up with two rings, a big one and a small one, one inside the other. To understand the meaning of this, let's look at the Hebrew names of God.
Mobius Strip and the Hebrew Names of God
The Jewish tradition prohibits the pronunciation of the name of God. However the names of the Creator (as they appear in the Hebrew old testament) are not names at all but only symbols which lead to truths. The first Hebrew name for God is "EL" which means "into" - a definition of direction without a particular goal (since the creator is everything and everywhere).
The numerological value of the first letter in the word "EL" is 1 and the second letter has the numerological value of 3 which means the one who is three or the holy trinity. When you cut the Mobius strip into 1/3 you get the bigger ring - the macro and the Creator and the smaller ring - the creatures, the living beings.
Taking the Hebrew word ELOHIM apart you get three words: "EL" (God in a male aspect), "ELA" (God in a female aspect) and "ELIM" meaning gods. Once again we have the holy trinity - male, female and plural.
Even the Hebrew name "Yehova" contains the words "haya" (was in Hebrew), "hove" (is now) and "yeeheeye" (will be) giving us the cycle of timeŠ
When we realize who we truly are, the cosmic joke will reveal it self!

The concept of the planetary grid is not new. Plato spoke about this in his work Timaeus as "The ideal body of cosmos" and explains the grid as the synthesis of the platonic solids. The grid that covered the earth was formed of the five platonic solids, as emanation of creation. Plato believed that the basic structure of the earth was in a process of evolution from simple geometric forms to other more complex forms. In the order of complexity, the five patterns that formed the blocks of the crystalline matrix are: The Tetrahedron, the Hexahedron or cube, the Octahedron, the Dodecahedron and the Icosahedrons.
The platonic solids are the only existing shapes whose vertexes perfectly match the inside surface of a sphere. These shapes were considered holy by many cultures. The platonic solids were considered the building blocks of the universe in sacred geometry science.
Christ Consciousness Pendant
The Christ Consciousness pendant is made from a combination of 2 platonic solid shapes - the dodecahedron (12 five sided facets) and the icosahedrons (20 triangles). The structure of the Christ Consciousness pendant creates the third level consciousness grid of the human race, which is an electro magnetic field that surrounds planet earth and unites the human consciousness.
The Jerusalem 2001 Bombing and the Christ Consciousness Experiment
In 2001, there were many bombings in a specific area of Jerusalem. One day someone arrived to David to view his work. When he saw the Christ consciousness pendant, he was very much attached. He felt it had great harmonious powers. He suggested to David to experiment and spread 30 of these pendants all over Jerusalem. The bombing stopped the same day!
Drunvalo Melchizadek - Collective Human Consciousness
The idea of collective human consciousness is wide spread these days, and is underlying principles related to chromosomes and Jungian theory. Some of the ideas behind this are based on the teachings of Drunvalo Melchizadek...
ENNEAGRAM - "Three is the mystery, come from the great one. Hear, and Light on thee will dawn."
The Enneagram Symbol
The Enneagram is one of the most ancient cosmic symbols. It can be seen all over the world. Its immense popularity is due in part to Gurdjief's use of this symbol to categorized psychological and spiritual human prototypes. However, its significance is far greater than these or other uses.
Enneagram - Three Pronged Relationship
As we have seen in other symbolic designs, the power of one always exists in a three-pronged relationship (see also the descriptions of the Mobius strip, the Gordian knot and the Vesica pisces pendant). The Enneagram pendant is altered from the normal Enneagram shape (The bottom triangle is connected). The change is made to enhance the understanding of the three forces of the universe - positive, negative and neutral. This combination is symbolized by the three triangles of the Enneagram...

TSUBA -
The katana, which is the generic term the West has adopted to refer to most Japanese swords, is undoubtedly an object of functionality. The samurai who were the only ones allowed to own and to wield this sword obtain only the best katana available, crafted by the best sword-smiths around. The life of a samurai depends on the quality of his sword. The steel must not break during battle, or the samurai would have to pay for choosing a blade of low quality with his life.
That is an emphasis on the functionality of the katana. But since samurai show off their wealth and status with the adornments on their swords, the case for the katana as a work of art is quite strong. These adornments on the Japanese sword are found in its hilt and handle, as well as on its tsuba.
What is the Tsuba?
The tsuba is the katana's sword guard. Its function is to keep the sword balanced as it is held in a fight, and to prevent the wielder from slipping his hand across its blade and injuring himself. In a lot of sword fighting techniques, the tsuba is also used to block an incoming slash from the opponent's sword.
During the medieval period of Japan, particularly the Muromachi and the Momoyama periods, which lasted from the 1300s to the 1600s, the tsuba is designed more for functional rather than for aesthetic purposes. They are made of hard metal to ensure the sword wielder's survival in a fight in these ages of war in the history of Japan.
By the time of the Edo period, however, the tsuba became ornamental rather than functional on a sword. This is because the Edo period is a period of peace, when the states under the Japanese empire became united under shogunate rule. The tsuba is made for ostentatious display when a samurai and his lord appeared at the shogun's court.
The Form of a Tsuba
The tsuba can be of two types. One type is made of iron and is called tetsu. The other type is created using softer metals like gold, copper and silver, or alloys. This other type is called kinko. Both the tetsu and the kinko tsuba can be adorned with carvings, cutouts or other kinds of décor.
Tsuba can be found in all kinds of shapes, both regular and irregular. Artists specializing in the crafting of tsuba have license to be as whimsical as they wish on their work. Nonetheless, the tsuba can be grouped into four general shapes. These four shapes are:
Maru gata. This is the round tsuba, which is its most common shape. Some round tsuba can be elliptical or oval rather than perfectly round. Some mimic the shape of flowers, such as the chrysanthemum.
Kaku gata. The square tsuba, often with rounded corners. The kaku gata can also be hexagonal or octagonal or even trapezoidal.
Shitogi. The shitogi tsuba looks like the type of rice cake that is offered during Shinto rituals. Katana with shitogi tsuba are almost always ceremonial swords.
Mokko gata. The mokko gata has four lobes and look like the surface of a cut melon. There are many sub-types under the mokko gata and all vary their intricate designs.
The Tsuba Today
Since the samurai class is now gone and obsolete in this modern era, tsuba have come to exist separately from the katana as objects of art. There are art collectors who specialize on the tsuba and there are many schools of tsuba craftsmanship in Japan, with each school using methods that have been handed down for generations. Some families in Japan who have ancestors in the samurai class often hand down tsuba as heirlooms depicting family mottos, seals and insignias in stylized designs.
SACRED GEOMETRY -
The study of sacred geometry has always been a fascinating one, both from a scientific and a spiritual point of view. There are times when people who have taken to advocating one facet of sacred geometry scoff at the people on the other side of the fence. Nonetheless, it cannot be denied that the study of sacred geometry, whether for scientific or spiritual purposes, is something that can blow the mind away.
What is Sacred Geometry?
Since there are two ways of looking at sacred geometry, there are also two ways of defining it. One is finite and academic while the other is spiritual.
Defining sacred geometry in the finite and academic way has a lot to do with studying the mathematics and algorithms to be found in the geometric shapes considered to be sacred and holy. These shapes are thought to occur naturally and can be seen in some creatures and forces of nature.
On the other hand, the spiritual viewpoint involved in sacred geometry tries to go beyond the mathematical and algorithmic formulas. They use sacred geometry to find meaning and significance in the pattern of the universe.
One does not have to be a mathematician or a practitioner of geomancy to be able to appreciate sacred geometry. Sacred geometry exists as an art form, and for the layman who does not want to take any side, it can be appreciated as such...
The Ka was the concept of life force, the difference between a living and a dead person. Death occurs when the ka leaves the body. The Egyptians believed that the ka was sustained through food and drink. For this reason food and drink offerings were presented to the dead.
KA Bracelet
The KA bracelet contains elements taken from the Emerald Tablets and the culture of ancient Egypt. The lotus flower on the KA bracelet symbolizes the circle of life and death, because during the course of the day the lotus flower remains on the surface of the water and under the cover of night, it sinks beneath the water's surface...
MOKUME GANE -
Combination of Great Beauty and Artist Intention
People have always appreciated beauty and uniqueness in all things. This appreciation is perhaps most evident in jewelry. Jewelry has always been a form of self-adornment as well as self-expression. Humans, with their long history with jewelry, have always treasured whatever piece of jewelry they possess both for their beauty and uniqueness, but most of all, for their value.
There are many ways of crafting jewelry. Some methods are more modern while others are infused heavily with tradition and the knowledge of which is handed down from generation to generation. Some methods put a twist in the old ways, and what was old becomes new. The method of making mokume gane jewelry is just one example of old traditions being fused into new ones.
What is Mokume Gane?
Mokume gane is a Japanese term that literally means "wood eye metal." It is an old method of metalworking that was invented in the 1600s by master metalworker Denbei Shoami and was used to create adornments on the handles and the hilts of katana, the swords used by the samurai class in medieval Japan. The samurai class was once the ruling class of Japan in its medieval ages, and even within that class, status and wealth are important. Such marks of status and wealth can be seen in the adornment of their katana.
The method of adorning metal with the use of mokume gane results in patterns on the metal that mimics burls or grains on wood. It is a beautiful and unique pattern that somewhat echoes the harmony of nature as embodied in wood, but with the strength and polish of metal.
The samurai class may all be dead in this modern age, and the demand for katana is now limited to collectors and to people who practice martial arts as some sort of hobby. Nonetheless, the art of metalworking embodied by the mokume gane endures. It is now used to create fine, unique jewelry and other objects of art.
The Process of Making Mokume Gane
Traditionally, the process of making mokume gane involves the fusion of different sheets of metal alloys. Modern creators of mokume gane jewelry and art objects have introduced changes to the traditional ways, but nonetheless, the basic process remains the same.
Originally, gold, copper and silver are the metals used in making mokume gane, although today, metals considered to be non-traditional in this form of metalworking are now included as well. These non-traditional metals include titanium, platinum, iron, nickel and bronze.
Basically, what happens in the process of making mokume gane is that sheets of metal with different colors are layered together in such a way that these sheets would fuse together but not completely melt and meld together. This fusion is created with controlled heat and pressure.
These fused sheets of metal would result in a solid block of metal with stripes, called a billet. After the billet has been formed, it is usually hand-cut to produce the desired wood-burl patterns. Modern technique makes use of computer software to guide the metalworker in carving out the desired patterns.
After the patterns have been cut, the billet is then hammered, forged and rolled to flatten it and to reduce its thickness. And then, it is shaped to whatever object the metalworker desires it to be, be it for jewelry or any other objet d'art.
The Beauty of Mokume Gane Jewelry
The art of making mokume gane jewelry is derived from an ancient art of adorning swords. Jewelry made in the mokume gane style nonetheless has a look to it that is contemporary, comparable to pieces made during the art deco era.

GOD'S WORD -
Knew I then that in Words are the power to open the planes that are hidden from man (Emerald tablet of Thoth)
God's Word Pendant
God's Word pendant contains the concept for the creation of the universe based upon the Kabala and cosmic consciousness principals. God's Word pendant is in the shape of a hollow sphere or bubble that represents the process used by the Creator to create the consciousness within all his living creatures. The universe was created from the endless void where there was "darkness on the face of the abyss". The void is the Creator himself who has no body, form or definition. The empty sphere is the perfect way to differentiate between inside and out. In this way a point of comparison is created between inside and out, or between the "self" and the "rest".
God's Words Meaning
It must be pointed out that there is no "self" and the "rest", this is an illusion like the pure illusion that we are separate individuals. It is the "peel" (Klipa) that is spoken about in the book of Zohar (the meaning of the Hebrew word Klipa is peel).
There is a ring around the pendant on which the word "Beresheet" (Genesis) is engraved. This word is divided into two parts so that it creates a sentence in ancient Aramaic, "Bara sheet" = created six. This refers to the projection created by the Creator within the empty space to each of the six directions, creating the 3D space.
On one side of God's word pendant there is the Hebrew letter "PE" whose literal translation is mouth through which we speak. The Creator in genesis "speaks" and creates in this way.
On the second side of the pendant, is written the Hebrew word "Vayomer" - "and God said". This represents the Holy spoken words of Genesis.
BERESHIT
If you look closely you can see the Hebrew letter "Beit" within the Hebrew letter "Pe". The Kabala uses the Hebrew writing called "Assyrian". The letter "Pe" in this writing includes the letter "Beit" so that the creator creates within his words the "BERESHEET" (Genesis) and the "Briaa" (Creation). These two words start with the letter "Beit" whose numerical value is 2. Since the creator is in a state of unity as one, he divides the first "cell" into two, and thus begins the process of creation.

The word "Talisman," derived from the Greek verb "teleo," means, primarily, to accomplish, or bring into effect. The Talisman is an object marked with magic signs and is believed to confer on its bearer supernatural powers or protection. Virtually every religion in human history has offered as adherents small decorative objects which purpose is to do anything ranging between healing, protection or success.
Talismans and Sacred Geometry
Very often the talismans symbols are taken out of sacred geometry. The term "sacred geometry" is used by archaeologists, anthropologists, and geometricians to encompass the religious, philosophical and spiritual beliefs that have sprung up around. It is a term covering Pythagorean geometry and neo-Platonic geometry. Sacred geometry is often referred to as a language of G-d. Sacred geometry symbols are a means of bringing subtle, inner realities to a focus in outward expression. Within the fundamental unity of consciousness, certain symbols, such as the lotus lifting itself in purity above the muddy water, possess universal relevance and power.
Jewish and Kabbalah Talismans
Star of David - The name David in ancient Hebrew (during the time of King David) is made up of three letters "Dalet", "Vav" and "Dalet". The letter Dalet in ancient Hebrew is actually a triangle. King David used the six pointed star as his signature (the two triangles of his name). The middle letter "Vav" means six - The six pointed star. The six-points symbolize that God rules over the universe and protects us from all six directions: North, South, East, West, Up and Down. King David used this symbol in the battlefield on his shield as an omen from God...
TETRACTYS -
The Mathematical and Mystical Meanings
of the Tetractys
The tetractys is one of the symbols in sacred geometry that is made very interesting by its complex layers of meaning. It is a design that is very mathematical in structure and yet holds mystical significance among the Pythagoreans and the followers of the Kabbalah.
Basically, the tetractys is a triangle composed of ten points rising upward. Perhaps the best example of the way the tetractys looks like is the way bowling pins are arranged at the end of a bowling lane.
The Pythagorean Meaning of the Tetractys
The Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, from which we got the Pythagorean Theorem in geometry, once called the tetractys the symbol of the musical, arithmetic and geometric ratios upon which the universe is built. For Pythagoras and his followers, each line of the tetractys holds these meanings:
*First row. The first row is made of a single point. This point is the divine dimension from which everything is created. Because of the nature of this point, it is usually associated with the virtue of wisdom.
*Second row. The second row is a line connecting two points and signifies the first dimension. For the Pythagoreans, the second row represents "Neikos" or Strife. Strife is the power of division and is often associated with the virtues of movement and impulse. Movement and impulse, in turn, gives birth to courage and strength.
*Third row. The third row is a line connecting three points. It is a representation of the second dimension and of "Philotes" or Harmony. Harmony is the marriage of physical beauty and mental balance.
*Fourth row. The four points connected in the fourth row indicates the four elements of the ancient world: earth, air, fire and water.
Pythagoreans used to swear upon the tetractys in their hopes of attaining purity of mind and harnessing its power.
The Meaning of the Tetractys in the Kabbalah
The Pythagoreans' interpretation of the tetractys is mathematical in nature. By contrast, its significance to the followers of the ancient Hebrew belief system of the Kabbalah is more mystical.
Just like the Pythagoreans, the followers of the Kabbalah also believe that the tetractys is an illustration of existence, of the way everything is structured in the universe. However, the followers of the Kabbalah have paralleled the tetractys with the Tree of Life.
In Kabbalah, the ten points of the tetractys represent the ten Sephiroth or the ten faces of God. The followers of Kabbalah have also linked the tetractys with the Tetragrammaton, which is the manner by which the name of God is spoken (YHWH).
In this way, each of the ten points of the tetractys is substituted with a letter of the Tetragrammaton. When the numeric value of each letter is added together, it will yield the number 72. The number 72 is considered holy for the Hebrews and the followers of the Kabbalah, because it signifies the 72 names of God.
Given these two meanings attached with the tetractys, it can be said that wearing a pendant made in the shape of the tetractys signifies the desire of the wearer to seek divine understanding. It can also be taken to mean that the wearer wants to attain a close relationship with God.

This labyrinth is an ancient symbol and can be found in many places in the world.
Spiritually, this labyrinth symbols the growth and development of men.
The seven stages of the labyrinth represent the stages in spiritual development as well as the 7 chakras and energetic centers of our bodies.
What is the Riddle?
The ancient riddle is actually "How to get out of this labyrinth?"
When we take the key to creating the labyrinth and turn it inside out and outside in (see below this paragraph) - we find wholeness. This is the only way to get out of the labyrinth.
The square with a perfect circle inside and a dot in the center is the symbol of gold in Alchemy. This symbol is actually the basis for all geometry as it contains all the basic shapes. It also stands for the highest spiritual level a man can achieve.
The "Star of David" is known in Hebrew as Magen David, which literally means the "shield of David," apparently from the popular notion that the Beloved King of Israel wore this symbol on his shields, although there is no evidence that this is true.
The symbol was used in Israel in Roman times, but it seems to have become particularly associated with Judaism only in later centuries.
In the 17th century, it became a popular practice to put the Star of David on the outside of synagogues, to identify them as Jewish houses of worship; however, it is not clear why this symbol was selected for this. Today the Star of David is a universally recognized symbol of Jews. It appears on the flag of the state of Israel, and the Israeli equivalent of the Red Cross is known as the Magen David Adom.
Kabbalah Star of David
In the Kabbalah, the two triangles represent the dichotomies inherent in man: good vs. evil, spiritual vs. physical, etc. The triangle pointing up symbolizes our good deeds, which go up to heaven and activate a flow of goodness back down to the world, symbolized by the triangle pointing down. The Star of David is sometimes known as the Creator's Star, in which each of the six points represents a day of the week and the center corresponds to the Sabbath.
King David Almighty Shields
The name David in ancient Hebrew (during the time of King David) is made up of three letters "Dalet", "Vav" and "Dalet". The letter Dalet in ancient Hebrew is actually a triangle. King David used the six pointed star as his signature (the two triangles of his name). The middle letter "Vav" means six - The six pointed star. The six-points symbolize that God rules over the universe and protects us from all six directions: North, South, East, West, Up and Down. King David used this symbol in the battlefield on his shield as an omen from God.
Star of David and the Merkaba
We have a Prana field that surrounds our body as a result of the meridians and the Prana flow. Then there is the field of the aura. The auric field is an egg shaped energy field that surrounds our body and changes its color according to our thoughts, feelings and emotions. After the auric field we have hundreds of electromagnetic fields. These fields have precise geometrical shapes. Each one is made up of three identical fields with the same size and shape. The Prana fields is the star tetrahedron, a three dimensional Star of David. A person is able to rotate two of the three star tetrahedron fields in opposite directions by using the ancient Prana breathing technique, thus creating a huge 17 meter energy field - our light body - the Merkaba.
Star of David and the Age of Aquarius
The Age of Aquarius was officially declared on January 23 1997 at 17:35 GMT.
When drawing a map by Jerusalem cast for that specific time, we receive a perfectly aligned Star of David! What does it mean? No one can really tell, but it is certainly amazing!
I CHING -
The power of Knowledge - Understanding of the Human Place in the Universe
I Ching is the oldest Chinese classic text and it is also called 'the book of changes 'or 'classic of changes' This text basically speaks about cosmology which is based upon ancient Chinese traditions or customs. Let us first know the meaning of the title of I CHING which is also called Yi Jing. 'Yi' as an adjective means 'easy and simple and as a verb it means 'to change' or to substitute one thing for another. 'Jing' here means classic text which says that things are not going to change with passage of time. I CHING combines three meanings. They are ease, simplicity, variability and persistency. In modern East Asia and the Western world, the I Ching is regarded as a symbol of divination. The text of I Ching is represented by a set of 64 abstract line arrangements called hexagrams.
History of the I Ching
If we consider it from the historical point of view, it has two approaches traditional view and modernist view. I Ching helps us to make decisions, predicting the future and it is also a source of wisdom and inspiration for generations. In the traditional view I Ching was an early Chinese legendary ruler who ruled China between the traditional dates of 2800 BCE-2737 BCE. It is believed that he was bestowed with the 8 triagrams (an auspicious symbol of transformation) supernaturally. The 8 triagrams were supposedly transformed into 64 hexagrams by the time another legendary ruler started ruling China between 2194 BCE2149 BCE. The 64 hexagrams were recorded in the scripture Lian Shan. The traditional history goes on till 722 BCE - 481 BCE when the Great Chinese philosopher Confucius wrote the Shi Yi, which is a group of ideas on the I Ching.
Modern Society and the I Ching
What started in China many thousand years ago, has reached the doors of modern society. Like many other ancient traditional cosmic sciences I Ching has also been adopted in America and the Western world. Modern day practitioners have learnt the science and put it into practice to heal many problems faced by the modern society. The modernist history of I Ching has been evolving in the last 50 years. Researchers have tried to find out about this science from the research into the Shang and Zhou dynasty and the Zhou bronze inscriptions. When the Western world understood about the benefits of I Ching they started practicing in the same way as Tarot and other similar sciences are practiced. Jewelry based on I Ching has also been created and many designers are working with I Ching practitioners. The modern theory of I Ching has been developed since the discovery of the Han dynasty tombs in Hunan province of China. These findings have helped researchers to get a better view of I Ching.
I Ching is a modern science which has been in practice in the modern society. People have realized the benefits of this ancient Chinese science and have readily adopted it. If you are interested to know the benefits of I Ching you can also visit an I Ching practitioner and wear I Ching jewelry...

Product Description - A fascinating and inspirational look at the vital link between the hidden geometrical order of the universe, geometry in nature, and the geometry of the man-made world.
The Da Vinci Code has awakened the public to the powerful and very ancient idea that religious truths and mathematical principles are intimately intertwined. Sacred Geometry offers an accessible way of understanding how that connection is revealed in nature and the arts. Over the centuries, temple builders have relied on magic numbers to shape sacred spaces, astronomers have used geometry to calculate holy seasons, and philosophers have observed the harmony of the universe in the numerical properties of music. By showing how the discoveries of mathematics are manifested over and over again in biology and physics, and how they have inspired the greatest works of art, this illuminating study reveals the universal principles that link us to the infinite.

Sacred Geometry [ILLUSTRATED] by Janosh - Product Description - Is there a geometric design to the universe? The ancient Greeks, Mayans, Egyptians, and others believed so, as evidenced by their use of nature's recurring mathematical patterns in architecture, music, and language. Today, this "sacred geometry" finds new expression in the creations of Dutch graphic artist Janosh, whose work has swept across Europe. With Sacred Geometry, he shares the life-changing gift revealed to him in a series of meditative visions he received from an energetic intelligence he calls the Arcturians. How does it work? "The geometric forms," Janosh explains, "provide an extra dimension to our natural senses, activating our physical, emotional, and spiritual evolution." Sacred Geometry gives you all the tools you need to realize your highest aspirations, including: * 33 stunning contemplation cards, each with a hologram and its corresponding theme--plus a display easel * 100-page tracing-paper pad and pencil for a kinesthetic experience with the holograms that "imprints" their underlying messages into your consciousness * 80-page hardcover journal for deeper reflection on the qualities and goals you are working toward Also featuring an 89-page study guide explaining the principles and practical applications of sacred geometry, and a music CD by neuropsychologist John Consemulder for relaxation and focus while contemplating Janosh's art, Sacred Geometry will assist you in the activation of your ultimate potential.
Math for Mystics: From the Fibonacci sequence to Luna's Labyrinth to the Golden Section and Other Secrets of Sacred Geometry by Renna Shesso - Product Description - A Magical Mystery Tour of Math History - Much of what we know as math comes to us directly from early astronomer magi who needed to be able to describe and record what they saw in the night sky. Everyone needed math: whether you were the king's court astrologer or a farmer marking the best time for planting, timekeeping and numbers really mattered. Mistake a numerical pattern of petals and you could poison yourself. Lose the rhythm of a sacred dance or the meter of a ritually told story and the intricately woven threads that hold life together were spoiled. Ignore the celestial clock of equinoxes and solstices, and you'd risk being caught short of food for the winter.
"As thoughtful as it is readable, Renna Shesso's Math for Mystics is the book I wish I had when I first started trying to make sense of the mathematics that underlie so much of modern magic and traditional occult lore. Not the least of its virtues is the way it makes magical number theory accessible even to those who think they don't like or can't handle math. It provides a first-rate introduction to a fairly neglected branch of magical lore." -- John Michael Greer Grand Archdruid, Ancient Order of Druids in America and author of The Druidry Handbook
Renna Shesso's friendly tone, delightful "math lore," meticulous research, and clear information makes math easy to understand. This marvelous book begins with the simplest lunary and planetary math and then tackles the most enigmatic of numerical esoterica such as Platonic Solids, the Golden Section, Luna's Labyrinth, and Benjamin Franklin's favorite way to pass the time, "Magical Squares," akin to the 17th century Sudoku.
For anyone who tried to understand the Fibonacci Sequence of numbers from Dan Brown's (son of a mathematician) The DaVinci Code, this book is for you!
"In times past, math was seen as magic for its power and associations. It was even banned by authorities who thought it a threat--a power that no one else should hold. In this book, that ancient magic is relived, and the power yours."
-- Jeff Hoke, author of The Museum of Lost Wonder

A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe: Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science by Michael S. Schneider - Editorial Review - From Booklist - In the spiral of the nautilus shell, in the veins of a maple leaf, in the bonds of the benzene ring--everywhere he looks, Schneider sees a cosmic geometry. Of course, the lines of this geometry have long attracted the attention of probing minds, including Pythagoras, Plato, the Psalmist, Demetrius, and Plotinus. The author weaves the insights of these thinkers and many more together in a tapestry of reflections (richly illustrated) on celestial harmonies. Once initiated into the ancient mysteries, the reader will recognize profound meanings--not merely scientific utility--in squares, triangles, and other common shapes. The reader needs no extraordinary expertise in mathematics to explore these pages, just a relish for intellectual adventure. Schneider helps us discover just how much mental energy can fit within the circle of new horizons. Bryce Christensen --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
The Dimensions of Paradise: Sacred Geometry, Ancient Science, and the Heavenly Order on Earth by John Michell - Review - "John Michell's The Dimensions of Paradise is inarguably among the most important Gnostic transmissions of recent generations. With his candid, uncomplicated style, John has made widely available the visions, the laws, and the numbers held within pure geometry and which integrate earth and sky, movement and form, cosmos and mankind." (Robert Lawlor, author of Sacred Geometry: Its Philosophy and Practice and Voices of the First Day)
"John Michell has produced one of the primary texts for understanding the number system that encoded the prehistoric world view. He reveals how sacred geometry, myth, gematria, and the structure of numbers created a big picture lost soon after Plato, a knowledge replaced by derivative religious and materialistic ideas. The Dimensions of Paradise is an essential key to comprehending monuments such as the Great Pyramid and Stonehenge, but it also provides an initiatory journey into the ancient mind itself." (Richard Heath, author of Sacred Number and the Origins of Civilization)
Product Description - An in-depth look at the role of number as a bridge between Heaven and Earth
* Reveals the numerical code by which the ancients maintained high standards of art and culture
* Sets out the alchemical formulas for the fusion of elements and the numerical origins of various sacred names and numbers
* Describes the rediscovery of knowledge associated with the Holy Grail, through which the influence of the Heavenly Order is made active on Earth
The priests of ancient Egypt preserved a geometrical canon, a numerical code of harmonies and proportions, that they applied to music, art, statecraft, and all the institutions of their civilization. Plato, an initiate in the Egyptian mysteries, said it was the instrument by which the ancients maintained high, principled standards of civilization and culture over thousands of years.
In The Dimensions of Paradise, John Michell describes the results of a lifetime's research, demonstrating how the same numerical code underlies sacred structures from ancient times to the Christian era. In the measurements of Stonehenge, the foundation plan of Glastonbury, Plato's ideal city, and the Heavenly City of the New Jerusalem described in the vision of Saint John lie the science and cosmology on which the ancient world order was founded. The central revelation of this book is a structure of geometry and number representing the essential order of the heavens and functioning as a map of paradise.

The point, line, plane and solid objects represent the first three dimensions, but a kind of reversal of space is involved in the ascent to a fourth dimension. Steiner leads us to the brink of this new perspective‹as nearly as it can be done with words, diagrams, analogies, and examples of many kinds. In doing so, he continues his life-long project of demonstrating that our objective, everyday thinking is the lowest rung of a ladder that reaches up to literally infinite heights.
The talks in this series and the selections from the question-and-answer sessions on many mathematical topics over the years are translated into English for the first time in The Fourth Dimension. They bring us to tantalizing new horizons of awareness where Steiner hoped to lead his listeners:
"Part of the charm of the fourth dimension is that it is a geometrical concept that interests popular culture as much as it does mathematicians. In both its popular and scientific applications, the fourth dimension has had both gnostic and agnostic exponents" (from the Introduction).

Frequencies of Sacred Geometry 2009 Wall Calendar by Janosh - Product Description - The Greek philosopher Plato said, 'Geometry will draw the soul towards truth.' The mystery of creation lies hidden in geometry. The universe is shaped according to set geometric principles. These mathematical patterns appear everywhere; from the alignment of the stars to man-made architectural buildings. Dutch artist Janosh has incorporated these patterns into his dynamic artwork and invites you to experience them in The Frequencies of Sacred Geometry 2009 wall calendar. This innate knowledge is a universal part of the human brain, because geometry is deeply rooted in our body and cell memory, and is believed to resonate in the subconscious mind. Meditation on these Sacred Geometric shapes can move, inspire and enchant you. After years of working as a graphic designer, Janosh began experiencing visions of transparent energies expressed in different shapes and colors. Thus inspired, he translated these visions into this stunning digital art. Janosh has shown his multimedia presentations to the staff of the United Nations and his artwork has been exhibited internationally.
The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life: Volume 1 (Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life) by Drunvalo Melchizedek - Product Description - Once, all life in the universe knew the Flower of Life as the creation pattern - the geometrical design leading us into and out of physical existence. Then from a very high state of consciousness we fell in darkness and forgot who we were. For thousands of years the secret was held in ancient artifacts and carvings around the world, and encoded in the cells of all life.
Here Drunvalo Melchizedek presents in text and graphics the first half of the Flower of Life Workshop, illuninating the mysteries of how we came to be, why the world is the way it is and the subtle energies that allow our awareness to blossom into its true beauty.
Sacred Geometry is the form beneath our being and points to a divine order in our reality. We can follow that order form the invisible atom to the infinite stars, finding ourselves at each step. The information here is one path, but between the lines and drawings lie the feminine gems of intuitive understanding.
Explore the miracle of our existence by meandering through the wonderland of geometry, science, ancient history and new discovery, seen through the widened vision of Drunvalo and the Flower of Life. Volume 2 will explore in great detail the Mer-Ka-Ba, the 55-foot-diameter energy field of the human lightbody. This knowledge leads to ascension and the next dimensional world.
The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life: Volume 2 by Drunvalo Melchizedek - Product Description - The sacred Flower of Life pattern, the primary geometric generator of all physical form, is explored in even more depth in this volume, the second half of the Flower of Life workshop. The proportions of the human body, the nuances of human consciousness, the sizes and distances of the stars, planets and moons, even the creations of humankind, are all shown to reflect their origins in this beautiful and divine image. Through an intricate and detailed geometrical mapping, Drunvalo Melchizedek shows how the seemingly simple design of the Flower of Life contains the genesis of our entire third-dimensional existence.
From the pyramids and mysteries of Egypt to the new race of Indigo children, Drunvalo presents the sacred geometries of the Reality and the subtle energies that shape our world. We are led through a divinely inspired labyrinth of science and stories, logic and coincidence, on a path of remembering where we come from and the wonder and magic of who we are.
Finally, for the first time in print, Drunvalo shares the instructions for the Mer-Ka-Ba meditation, step-by-step techniques for the re-creation of the energy field of the evolved human, which is the key to ascension and the next dimensional world. If done from love, this ancient process of breathing prana opens up for us a world of tantalizing possibility in this dimension, from protective powers to the healing of oneself, of others and even of the planet.
Embrace the examined vision and understanding that Drunvalo offers to the world. Coincidences abound, miracles flourish and amazing stories of mysteries unveiled arise as the author probes the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life.

Sacred Geometry Oracle by John Michael Greer - Product Description - You are the Architect of Your Own Destiny - Expand your awareness of the universal patterns that shape your life with the Sacred Geometry Oracle. Now, for the first time, you can use this ancient wisdom as a tool for meditation, divination, and self-exploration.
When we get to the point, run around in circles, or go off on a tangent, we're already interpreting our lives in geometrical terms. The same sort of awareness can be turned to the subtle and communicative designs of sacred geometry, making them into symbols that serve as a bridge between our intuitive awareness and the world of our experience.
This Oracle includes:
*Thirty-three cards, each bearing an important diagram from the lore of traditional sacred geometry
*An illustrated guidebook that presents the meaning of each card, how to cast and interpret readings, and meditation suggestions
*Step-by-step exercises for constructing traditional geometric forms and patterns (with the help of your own geometer's tools: compass, straightedge, pencil, and paper), and tool-storing space in the kit box.

Power points on your Earth are the very distribution centers of the prophesized event you term the Planetary Ascension, and as such they are tools for the frequencial ascension of both humankind and of the living planet. Includes 32 pages of color photos.
* Reveals how ancient civilizations encoded their secret knowledge of the sky in mythology, music, and sacred measures.
* Shows how modern culture can benefit from the ancient astronomical and astrological worldview based on number.
* Shows the role of ratio and harmonic proportions in the creation of the material world.
Humanity's understanding of number was deeper and richer when the concept of creation was rooted in direct experience. But modern sensibility favors knowledge based exclusively on physical laws. We have forgotten what our ancestors once knew: that numbers and their properties create the forms of the world. Ancient units of measurement held within them the secrets of cosmic proportion and alignment that are hidden by the arbitrary decimal units of modern mathematical thinking.
Sacred numbers arose from ancient man's observations of the heavens. Just as base ten numbers relate to the fingers and toes in terms of counting, each celestial period divides into the others like fingers revealing the base numbers of planetary creation. This ancient system made the art of counting a sacramental art, its units being given spiritual meanings beyond just measurement. The imperial yard, for example, retains a direct relationship to the Equator, the length of a day and a year, and the angular values of Earth, Moon, and Jupiter.
The ancients encoded their secret knowledge of the skies within mythology, music, monuments, and units of sacred measurement. They understood that the ripeness of the natural world is the perfection of ratio and realized that the planetary environment--and time itself--was a creation of number.
The Lost Science of Measuring the Earth: Discovering the Sacred Geometry of the Ancients by Robin Heath and John Michell - Product Description - Two leading researchers into ancient wisdom demonstrate that the earth's dimensions were accurately known prior to 3000 BC. These astonishing findings, available for the first time, include a system of surveying and measure based on simple numerical and geometrical rules documents that remnants of this science still existed in medieval times when it became lost. It appears that the system was applied worldwide. Chapters include: Measurement and the Moon; Stonehenge & the Lunation Triangle; The Preseli Triangle; Prehistoric Precision: A Summary; The Numbers that Measure the Earth; Traditions of Ancient Surveyors in Britain; Secrets of the 52nd Parallel; Dates and Speculations "A Summary; Appendices.
Well written, innovative and challenging. -- Aubrey Burl, Stone Circles of Britain, Brittany and Ireland
Geometry of Design: Studies in Proportion and Composition by Kimberly Elam - Product Description - At last, a mathematical explanation of how art works presented in a manner we can all understand. Kimberly Elam takes the reader on a geometrical journey, lending insight and coherence to the design process by exploring the visual relationships that have foundations in mathematics as well as the essential qualities of life.
Geometry of Design-the first book in our new Design Briefs Series-takes a close look at a broad range of twentieth-century examples of design, architecture, and illustration (from the Barcelona chair to the Musica Viva poster, from the Braun handblender to the Conico kettle), revealing underlying geometric structures in their compositions. Explanations and techniques of visual analysis make the inherent mathematical relationships evident and a must-have for anyone involved in graphic arts. The book focuses not only on the classic systems of proportioning, such as the golden section and root rectangles, but also on less well known proportioning systems such as the Fibonacci Series. Through detailed diagrams these geometric systems are brought to life giving an effective insight into the design process.
Platonic & Archimedean Solids (Wooden Books) by Daud Sutton - Product Description - Whereas Sacred Geometry introduced readers to two-dimensional forms, Platonic & Archimedean Solids presents the world of three dimensions, which was understood as early as neolithic time. Daud Sutton elegantly explores the eighteen forms-from the cube to the octahedron and icosidodecahedron-that are the universal building blocks of three-dimensional space, and shows the fascinating relationships between them. For anyone interested in design, architecture, and mathematics, this will be a delight. Wooden Books

Chartres: Sacred Geometry, Sacred Space by Gordon Strachan and Oliver Perceval - Review - 'Read Gordon Strachan's book and then visit Chartres with an open mind and wide vision, to find personal insight. Illustrated with beautifully prepared drawings.' - Clive Hicks, Caduceus, September 2004 'It does not matter if you know nothing of sacred geometry; by the end of this book you will have effortlessly imbued a firm understanding of what it is, and how it is. [...] It is a fascinating read. Strachan's clear explanations of measurements, together with excellent graphics, take the reader on a revelatory journey of mystical spirituality.' - Logan Lewis-Proudlock, Light magazine, Winter 2003 'An inspiring and informative resource for those interested in religious architecture.' - The Beacon, July 2004 'Will delight anybody who recognizes the influence of the built environment. Copious illustrations adorn the text, illuminate the discourse and delight the eye. Gordon Strachan has produced a labour of love, and it shows.' - Clement Jewitt, Music and Psyche, 2004 'Quite simply, we have here a magnificent building that was produced by a unique blend of masonic skills, religious ideas and earth energies. To walk through Chartres is indeed to walk through a sacred space.' - Fortean Times, April 2004 'Chartres cathedral in France is one of the most important and popular sacred sites in Western Europe. The Rev. Strachan's new study examines the spiritual geometry of the church and suggests its significance is connected to an ancient combination of pagan worship, earth energies and the mystical harmony of Christian and Islamic architecture. Highly recommended.' - The Cauldron, August 2003 'Surprisingly, there's no heresy in this book. It's beautifully produced. It opens our eyes to the story of our historic relations with Islam. The deeper theme of seeing God in the darkness as well as the light is important, and so is the link between the geometry of square roots and the mysteriousness of Gothic, and of God. God isn't in a box, and can't be contained.' The Very Revd Jim Mein, Christ Church Episcopal, Edinburgh 'It is a beautifully illustrated book which explains both the beauty and the geometry of Gothic architecture as seen in Chartres.' The Rt Revd Brian Smith, Bishop of Edinburgh 'A detailed yet reader-friendly exploration of the mathematics of Pythagorean, early-Christian and Sufi geometry, leading to applications in medieval Gothic architecture. The author ends by stating that people are drawn to explore cathedrals ... he feels there is something 'alchemical' in the very architecture of the buildings themselves. I have always felt this and now have a better idea of why. Five pentacles.' - Cerridwen Connelly, Pentacle, Winter 2003
Product Description - In this ground-breaking new work, Gordon Strachan explores the magnificent structure of Chartres Cathedral and its influences on the medieval master builders. Using Chartres as a starting point, Dr. Strachan shows how the origins of the Gothic style‹the pointed arch‹may lie in Islamic architecture. He goes on to a fascinating and detailed consideration of how a particular architectural space affects us, and how sacred geometry creates sacred space.
Beautifully illustrated in a large format, this is an inspiring and informative book for anyone interested in religious architecture and spirituality.
The Golden Ratio: The Story of PHI, the World's Most Astonishing Number by Mario Livio - Editorial Reviews - From Publishers Weekly - Most readers will have at least dim memories from geometry class of the irrational number pi. Theoretical astrophysicist Livio gives pi's overlooked cousin phi its due with this lively account, the first on the subject written for the layperson. Phi is the golden ratio of antiquity (1.6180339887), a never-ending number so lauded for its harmonious qualities that in the 16th century it was dubbed the divine proportion. It is related to phenomena as diverse as the petal arrangements of roses, the breeding patterns of rabbits and the shape of our galaxy. Phi is also claimed to have been crucial in the design of the Great Pyramids, the composition of the Mona Lisa and the construction of Stradivarius violins. Livio (The Accelerating Universe) carefully investigates these and other claims and does not hesitate to debunk myths perpetuated by overzealous enthusiasts he calls "Golden Numberists." This is an engaging history of mathematics as well, addressing such perennial questions as the geometric basis of aesthetic pleasure and the nature of mathematical objects. Useful diagrams and handsome illustrations of works under discussion are amply provided. Livio is gifted with an accessible, entertaining style: one typical chapter bounds within five pages from an extended discourse on prime numbers to a clever Oscar Wilde quote about beauty to an amusing anecdote about Samuel Beckett and finally to an eminently clear explanation of G"del's incompleteness theorem. With a guide to the history of ideas as impassioned as Livio, even the math-phobic can experience the shock and pleasure of scientific discovery. This thoroughly enjoyable work vividly demonstrates to the general reader that, as Galileo put it, the universe is, indeed, written in the language of mathematics.

From School Library Journal - Adult/High School-Take something as simple as a line segment and mark it at just the right place. Looking at it with a mathematician's eye, an interesting relationship appears: the ratio between the whole line and the larger of the pieces it was broken into is the same as the ratio of the larger piece and smaller piece. Better known as "the golden ratio" or phi, 1.618- is a number that has fascinated humans for several hundred years, and people have claimed evidence of phi in all manner of things. Livio takes readers on a treasure hunt for phi from ancient times through the present. On the way, he debunks a number of popular myths (e.g., the notion that Mondrian used it in his abstract paintings) and does a wonderful job explaining the Fibonacci sequence and its relationship to phi. Small, black-and-white photos and reproductions demonstrate items mentioned in the text. While it may seem that the author wanders in his expositions, his excursions into history and number games add fun and depth for those who wish to follow. To get the most out of The Golden Ratio, it is best to have an understanding of algebra and basic trigonometry, although the book is great for general readers who don't mind working a little to gain a lot of understanding.

Secrets in the Fields: The Science and Mysticism of Crop Circles by Freddy Silva - Editorial Review - From Library Journal - Silva, who has worked in graphic design and advertising for most of his professional life, conveys his keen passion for earth mysticism in this probing examination of crop circles. He examines the history of crop circles, human interactions with them, their probable implications, and, in a section that is alone worth the price of the books for supporters, their effects on our current worldview. Silva also delves deeply into the evidence for crop circles' authenticity. In arguing that they are transhuman events, he discusses the role of electromagnetism and its effects, UFO phenomena and their relation to crop circles, the relationship between crop circles and healing, evidence supporting psychic ability, and language's ability to affect information consciously and subconsciously (this section is sure to stimulate those who suspect that crop circles are a hoax). Readers may be inspired to reexamine preconceived ideas, as Silva's explanations are detailed and well researched and avoid technical jargon. Footnotes and an extensive bibliography encourage further exploration. Recommended for psychic phenomena or metaphysical and New Age collections in public libraries, and for collections including contemporary works on controversies in science and mysticism. - Leroy Hommerding, Fort Myers Beach Lib. District, FL

Product Description - Crop Circles. What Are They? Who Makes Them? Why Are They Here?
They appear at night, complex designs mysteriously imprinted on fields of almost ripened grain. Nobody knows how they got there, or why. They leave the grain stalks in swirls, virtually undamaged. They exhibit mathematical precision. They demonstrate principles of geometry. They portray ancient religious symbols.
Since the 1980s, some 10,000 crop circles have appeared, seemingly by magic, in England and 25 other countries. Each year the count grows, and the designs get more intricate, even fantastic. Governments tell us they're hoaxes, but the evidence shows that most are not.
What is going on?
Author Freddy Silva lives in Wessex, the four-county area of southern England that has been host to 90 percent of the world's crop circles. In Secrets in the Fields, he takes us on an exhilarating firsthand field trip into the heart of the mystery. Silva takes us to the scene of the enigma, before, after, and during the appearance of a fresh circle. He introduces us to farmers, researchers, scientists, mystics, hoaxers and debunkers. He tells:
* how to distinguish a hoaxed circle from a genuine one
* what the magnetic field disturbances might mean
* what time distortions observed at crop circles might mean
* how sound, light and microwave energy may be involved
* how a theory of music may account for their creation
* what the circle images mean
Deeply informative and copiously illustrated, this is the most comprehensive look at crop circles to date.
The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah: Recovering the Key to Hebraic Sacred Science by Leonora Leet - Amazon.com Review - The Secret Doctrine of the Kabbalah is the second book by Dr. Leonora Leet (with two more planned) to result from a project begun in 1978 with the accidental discovery of what she believes to be the ultimate source of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life diagram. Her first text, Renewing the Covenant: A Kabbalistic Guide to Jewish Spirituality, should be perused before attempting to decipher this brilliant but dense treatise. Not for the casual or merely curious reader, Leet's book expounds on such theoretical subjects as the Tetragrammaton, the Covenant of Number, the sacred science of sound and spiritual practice, Kabbalistic geometry, and cosmic genesis. She goes on to synthesize sacred science and Kabbalistic cosmology with quantum physics. If your IQ is at least comparable to your body weight, and your bent is unlocking the doors of the universe through geometry, this excruciatingly well-researched tome may get you in the front gate. --P. Randall Cohan
From Library Journal - Leet, author of Renewing the Covenant, has produced a book that is by turns dazzling and puzzling. No less than an attempt not only to improve upon the traditional summations of Kabbalistic truth and practice but to reconcile them with modern linguistic and cosmological theory, this will delight adepts but may leave beginners behind. Nevertheless, Leet's is an impressive work. For larger collections, especially where Jewish topics are in demand.

Amazon.com Editorial Review:
About the Author: A scientist by profession, Rabbi Laitman arrived in Israel in 1974 at the age of 27. Completely secular at the time, his search for spirituality eventually brought him to study under Rabbi Baruch Ashlag, the son of Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag (Baal HaSulam). He served as the personal assistant to Rabbi Baruch Ashlag from 1979 to 1991, and upon his rabbi's passing, was handed down personal transcripts from one of the greatest Kabbalists of our time. Having studied Kabbalah for over 30 years, Rabbi Laitman presents a scientific approach to spiritual evolvement that is based on the writings of Rabbi Yehuda Ashlag and other great Kabbalists throughout the generations. An eloquent writer and public speaker, his words inspire individuals around the world to accelerate the spirituality of mankind through the study of Kabbalah.
Kabbalah is known to be a secret wisdom. It is precisely this secrecy surrounding Kabbalah that gave rise to numerous legends, falsifications, gossip, ignorant arguments and wrong conclusions. Only at the end of the 20th century was the wisdom of Kabbalah allowed to be revealed to all and even circulated around the world. Therefore, addressing the reader at the beginning of this book, I feel obliged to tear age-old layers off this ancient wisdom that is common to all mankind.
The wisdom of Kabbalah has nothing to do with religion, meaning it is no more related to it than physics, chemistry or mathematics. It is not a religion and this becomes obvious from the fact that religious people know nothing about it and do not understand a word in it.
The most profound knowledge about the laws of the Universe, the method of apprehending the world, the achievement of the Purpose of Creation was originally kept away from the religious masses in the first place. Kabbalah was waiting for the time when mankind matured sufficiently to accept this wisdom and to use it correctly.
Kabbalah allows man to control his destiny; it is the knowledge that was passed to all peoples of the world. It deals with the realm hidden from our five senses. It operates only with spiritual notions, meaning with things that happen above the material level, beyond our perception in the upper world.
Kabbalah describes the upper world by using the language of metaphor or the scientific language.
The metaphorical description: Kabbalah borrows the names of spiritual objects, forces and actions from the language of our world. This is necessary, because we have no words at our disposal that can describe unearthly phenomena. But since a certain force descends from each object in the upper world to form a corresponding object in ours, a Kabbalist living in both worlds sees this connection and describes the spiritual reality by using the names of our world.
However, Kabbalists' descriptions seem like accounts of earthly actions to those who have not yet attained the spiritual realm. Kabbalah speaks exclusively of what happens in the upper world. The use of familiar words and definitions leads to false conceptions and erroneous conclusions. Hence, Kabbalah forbids imagining a connection between the names of our world and their spiritual roots. This is considered the grossest error in Kabbalah. That is why it was forbidden for so many years up to this time: man's development was insufficient, we imagined all sorts of demons and angels where something totally different is meant.
