Symbols Of The Chakras And The Midpoint

As I mentioned in Part Three of this series of articles, there is yet another chain of coincidences that eventually connected to the the concepts I have related in these articles. In terms of the sequence of events, they are spred out over a number of years, interlaced with the other material I have covered in these articles. I did not realize the connection between one set of symbols to the other set, for a number of years. This part of the story connects the material in the previous articles in this series to the Grand Cross alignment of the planets in 1999. The planets will be aligned in the Grand Cross prior to and during the Solar eclipse, which will pass over Cornwall in England, then traverse over central Europe, the Near East, and beyond.

In Joseph Campbell's The Inner Reaches of Outer Space, on page 128, he writes about the Great Seal of the United States. The disk above the eagle's head has 13 stars forming a Solomon's seal, "symbolic of the union of soul and body, spirit and matter." It is formed by two interlaced "Pythagorean tetraktys, or 'perfect triangle of fourness,' of nine points, four to a side, enclosing a tenth representing the generative center." The tetraktys is said to symbolize how the creation is created. The single star (or dot) at the top represents the One Creative source. The two stars below represent the duality. The next row of three stars represents the relative balance of the duality attributes (a dominant, b dominant or a and b in accord). The four stars on the bottom of the triangle represent everything else in creation.

I first saw the book in 1990, when I found it at the library. I briefly reviewed the material about the chakras, but at that time there was no apparent connections to my experience. About a month or two before I saw the book, a series of dream voice messages suggested that several events in my childhood were symbolic. The dream voice messages came on July 5th. I noted several of events, one of which happened when I was about seven years of age. I was wounded during a fireworks display on the fourth of July. A skyrocket tipped over after the fuse was lit, and the rocket fired into the group of children standing around me. The rocket hit me in the back, causing a deep wound. Other children were injured slightly from the sparks.

Forty-five minutes later, a coincidence happened. A report came on the television of an accident at a fireworks demonstration the previous day, July fourth. A rocket fell over and shot into a crowd, injuring nineteen people, three seriously, including a three year old girl.

After reading about the Solomon's Seal some weeks later, I remembered that I had a fascination with the six-pointed star, or Star of David, in my youth. I developed the habit of drawing the star next to my name. I discontinued the habit when my high school history teacher noticed the star on one of my papers, and asked me if I was Jewish! I had no idea then, that the star was a religious symbol. Perhaps my youthful fascination with the Star of David had a deeper symbolic meaning.

Just prior to the dream voice messages about symbolism in childhood events, I had a dream of an electrical splice box. There were two electrical cables on each side. The wires inside the splice box were disconnected, but had numbers on them.

I knew the meaning . . . it symbolized that people are not connected, but they could be connected easily, because the wires had numbers indicating which wires were supposed to be connected together.

When I found the Joseph Campbell book in the library some weeks later, I also found a large book about mythology. It was called Myths, and included the writings of a number of authors. The editor of the book is Alexander Eliot. I was startled later, when I reviewed my notes and saw my drawing of the splice box again. I realized then, that it was quite similar to a depiction in the Myths book. I found the depiction again, and compared it to my dream. It was a Navaho sand painting with two people, apparently a male and female couple, on each side of a square shape -

The various experiences that I have recounted above, gives a little background as to why I was inspired to draw the Tantric Yantra star in September, 1990 (see Part One). I recognized that the two major triangles of star were like an offset Star of David.

In October, 1990, I awoke from a dream with the idea to "hook up the wires" of the splice box. I knew it was meant to be a geometric pattern, based on the dream and the Navaho sand painting. I experimented with a number of shapes, by drawing eight stick figures around a square, two on each side -

I "connected the wires, by drawing lines between the feet of the people, and simplified it into a regular eight-pointed star -

In yet another version, I formed a twelve-pointed star. It was similar to the one above, but had extra points between each of the pair of points on each side of the square. I noticed later that the star was formed by four overlaping triangles -

Another idea came to me around August 1990. "Quintuplet sets" of crop circles had appeared many times. A quintuplet set is a group of five circles arranged like this -

I wondered if it could indicate a pyramid, as viewed from above -

I read an article in a crop circle journal, the Cerealogist #3, about dowsing within crop circle formations. Dowsers found that the subtle earth energy formed geometric shapes inside the circles. A number of depictions illustrated the shapes found by dowsing. There were star-shapes with 12, 8, and 10 points, and also a Teutonic Cross. I realized that the twelve-pointed star illustration above could be changed into a Teutonic Cross, by changing the positions of the four triangles, so that one point of each touched one another. I also realized that a twelve-pointed star could be formed from the four triangles of the pyramid design above, by sliding the four triangles to overlap in center.

On October 18, 1990, I had a dream of seeing twelve interlocking rings in a circle with huge beings standing with their feet in the rings. The dream reminded me of a lucid dream I had in 1982, where I was pulled up into the night sky and passed through a ring of high entities. I drew a number of diagrams, based on the dream, including this one with eight rings in a circle with faces in them, to which I added colors later -

The colors were based on the twelve horses and riders from each of the four directions in Black Elk's great vision. I found it in Black Elk Speaks about a month after my dream of the interlocking rings. Black Elk apparently saw a circle of rings in his vision (page 43) -

"Then I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy."

When I first started to draw the outline of the above diagram, I quickly realized that the outside edge was the same shape as one of my chits (see Part One). When I finished the outline, it struck me that the geometry was similar to the structure of a domed ceiling in Turin. I had accidentally found a photograph of the domed ceiling the week prior, in the library. I was looking for an art book in the wrong section of the library . . . the archetecture section. The ceiling had a flower-like (chit-like) shape in the center, so I made a photocopy for my files -

Guarino Guarini: Dome of San Lorenzo,
Turin, 1668-1687

I found the photocopy of the dome in Turin, and compared it to my drawing. Strangely, the arching beams suggested circles that inclosed windows that were shaped somewhat like faces.

After I drew the interlocking ring diagram, I recalled that I saw another shape in a dream the previous month. It was a circle with curved lines into the center. A voice spoke in the dream, saying that this represented a closed aperture, like that on a camera. This was refering to how wheatstalks in some crop circles laid down in a somewhat similar pattern -

After I drew the interlocking ring pattern, I noticed that the center of the drawing could hint at an aperture in the center. I then drew this pattern, calling it a closed aperture -

While visiting relatives in October 1990, showed my neice, Laurie, the two depictions on pages 56 and 57 of the book Myths -

The text explained -

One of the most fascinating phenomena in the field of mythology is the similarity between widespread religious and mystical experiences. Such similarities extend not only to modes of thinking and believing but also to modes of pictorial representation. A startling comparison is offered by the two illustrations on this page: a Buddhist mandala (left) embodying the teaching of the Guhyasamaja Tantra, and a Navaho sand painting (right) entitled People of the Myth."

I showed Laurie the drawing of my dream splice box, and pointed out the similarity to the Navaho sand painting. After a moment, she shouted, "Look! There's one of your chits!" She pointed to the center of the Buddhist mandala, referring to the flower-like shape. I took one of my chits off of the ring, and placed it over the mandala. It was an exact fit! This seemed to connect my various dreams and experiences togeather.
