Part 5
The Triangle
Considered
the most stable of forms .. the Triad
Three
symbolizes the trinity of life, of substance, intellect,
of
the force which drives it. The point where matter, and consciousness connects
with
the higher realms.
As
with most the sacred forms, read most sites on this and it's enough to
make your
eyes
cross. :) Like this for example:
"The
next step in creation, moving from 2 points on the circumference of a circle
is 3 points. When these are in symmetry with each other, they define the
equilateral triangle.
Three
linear structural elements connected together at their end points form
a rigid frame - a fundamental engineering principle. The triad or trinity
in esoteric terms expresses a rigid structure,
and
demonstrates the stability within creation by virtue of the principles.
All subsequent steps in creation contain triangles. The 3 dimensional version
of the triangle is the tetrahedron, a solid object
contained
within a sphere, but one which is pure of form because it contains 4 faces
all of which express the trinity. It has no diagonals, no shortcuts between
its defining points. Although it appears
to
be a 3 dimensional object, it is really multi-dimensional, and represents
consciousness on higher planes of reality wherein all manifestations are
aware of their existence within the trinity. It also
demonstrates
how every single addition (point) in creation gives rise to another triangle
as part of a larger rigid framework, the basis of construction of a stable
universe."
And
this is one of the simple ones.... !
Now
let's try that in English
One
of the most common uses we see of the triangle is a pyramid
which
is the Circle, squared. All of its sides are
triangles, most geodesic domes
are
made of them.
Ok Why ?
Its
stability is why. Ever see a milking stool ? It has three legs for one
simple reason, it's almost impossible to knock one over.
Which,
when dealing with a pushy cow, is a good thing.
Ok,
why can't you knock it over ?
The
stress is spread out in an almost circular fashion is why. A stool with
four legs must have the weight on it disturbed evenly
or
ya fall over. With a three legged stool, this is not necessary. You can
sit on one in just about any fashion, and be stable on it.
If
you took building blocks and made a wall of triangle shapes you can stack
it to your hearts content, IF you stagger the blocks.
And
if you stagger them, what you get is the star of David, which is two triangles
that interlock, which is why, I believe, King David
choose
that form for his seal among other things, its stability.
In
esoteric terms, it means the way of mind, body and spirit, as one unit.
Three
dimensions in action, thought, the body that houses it, and the spirit
that moves it.
This is the triangles basic lesson.
Another thought about it..
The
" Merkaba."
Going
for an almost direct quote for a second
"
This
is both an Egyptian and Hebrew word for the field of light energy and information
that radiates from the human body as the star tetrahedron,
also not surprisingly
known as the Star of David. The Merkaba is a geometrically precise
field that is formed from the pattern of the first eight cells of the
fertilized zygote.
The location of these eight cells is in the geometrical center of the human
body in the base or root chakra. The eight cells also provide the center
point for all of the energy fields and grids that surround the body. Thus,
the Merkaba field is the matrix of creation.
Your Light body
as
its called, is a grid work of light and geometry that brings together
your physical, mental and spiritual being. This body radiates light
energy and electromagnetically
links your multidimensional self with the infinite universe. It connects
you to your encoded data through high electrical currents that assist you
in translating and manifesting your hidden talents and soul purpose. As
you activate, build and integrate your Light body, you reorganize your
molecular structure, allowing your body to be less dense and more free
to express itself with the source of the universe."
Put
simply, the Merkaba, the first of many geo forms that make up the body
is one of the things that allow us to astral project,
which
is what this long explanation is trying to say.
It
is also what allows us to be "in the world but not of it". When this stable
form is active, we can become one with all things.
The
tapping into the force as we do, when doing rite and spell. This form,
is part of what allows us to do that.
There
are many other forms possible with the triangle.
Tetrahedron:
The
back ground of this page is a good example :)
but
here's another
Tetrahedron:
Icosahedron:
your basic geodesic dome
Octahedron:
A pyramid with two ends
Are
all forms of the triangle made solid,
All
have their own uses, but they all stem from the root base of the triangle.
The
pyramidal form, while not one of the so called platonic solids, as is a
only half an Octahedron and not solid.
But
it is part of the sacred geometry none the less, for its energy conduction
capacities.
Ever
mind the rule of three, as the Wicca would say...and in the world of forms
the
rule is the first rule there too !
The Celtic forms of the triad is commonly known
Which
is the triangle end to end ... then repeated again as three ... Mind, body,
spirit, as one unit
No
matter how you look at this simple form, it comes back to that concept
over and over
