The Finite Communicating with the Infinite

The beginning of the symbolism of uniting the infinite with the finite, the heavens with earth through the fusion of triangles is starting to be evidenced. Following this hypothesis or this thought experiment, let us continue on to the Magen David (the Star or Shield of David), also known as the Seal of Solomon, Creator's Star, or in geometry a hexagram. Here is a six-pointed star/shield or two triangles where one is inverted and the two are placed on top of each other. On the Israeli flag this symbol/shape can be seen in a blue color very similar to the turquoise of Serabit el-Khadim. If the Tables of the Law are, as surmised, triangular and made of turquoise and even if it is turquoise powdered on scrolls, which are inverted and laid on top of each other, the comparison is evident.

Besides this evidence and the arguments for such triangular tablets, there is a metaphysical interpretation of a six-pointed star as being representative of the spiritual man's seven chakras, with the seventh being hidden in the center. Again we are drawn back to the tables representing the “house of the soul.”

P.D. Ouspensky describes the six-pointed star as:

(That) which represented the world on ancient symbolism is in reality the representation of space-time or the “period of dimension,” i.e. of the three space-dimensions and the three time-dimensions in their perfect union, where every point of space includes the whole of time and every moment of time includes the whole of space, when everything is everywhere and always
