Tree of Life

Tetractys ( 9 Chambers )


The Flower of Life is an ancient sacred symbol of uncertain origin. The oldest known example of it at the time of this writing is to be found in the Temple of Osiris at Abydos, Egypt, dating back 6000 years. There are many variations on its theme but what we see depicted here is the exact same "core" pattern found in the temple. Some believe that the Qabbalistic Tree of Life originally derives from this image since the Tree can be easily identified via intersection points of the 5 concentric rings at center to the flower pattern. Of special importance to us here is that this particular Tree of Life pattern includes the "Highest Crown" coordinate ordinarily associated with the 3-Fold Ain, Ain Soph, Ain Soph Aur source from which the Tree of Life itself emanates. Because it includes this, it is possible (and appropriate) to lay in the TwinStar configuration which subsequently fits it as if it were made for it.

The Crescent, enveloping the Flower, is a consequence of the Abrahadabra Grid itself which descends exactly one rung down from the base of the TwinStar and would ordinarily intersect with Malkuth (Earth, Kingdom) on the Tree of Life. The TwinStar, being built upon the Tetractys, will naturally coordinate with any perfect circle. Our purpose in aligning it in this special way has to do with the enhanced coordination it is able to achieve with the rest of the Tree sephiroth, alongside the fact that it also reaches to true apex in the process. It is therefore deemed "optimal" that it should be expressed this way in this immediate context.

Synchronization of this magnitude should not be taken lightly. This is a stunning discovery that I cannot even begin to elucidate the significance of in any cursory description of its principle. It may be of some interest to numerologists that the Flower of Life comprises exactly 19 visible petals from top to bottom, while the TwinStar carries exactly 19 Paths, as I have discussed in other places. The marriage that this affords these two great symbols is simply breath-taking to anyone with eyes to see even the most superficial of its combined merits. This is a powerful mirror that one could reasonably work with to the exclusion of all other mirrors if one wanted to and would not be lacking for anything vital in the final analysis.
