- Syllable Based Representations -
First version of the Diagram:
The Syllables of each Step are colored distinctly.
Amber - the Central Verse
Orange - the Steps to which correspond the Fire signs
Green - the Steps to which correspond the Earth signs
Light Blue - the Steps to which correspond the Air signs
Dark Blue - the Steps to which correspond the Water signs.
Purple - the Parenthesis within the Eighth Step (Scorpio), the Time we are in now, which is One Second for He and She Above.
Second version of the Diagram:
The initials of each Word are represented in orange (to make a visual distinction between the Words).
The rest of the Letters are represented in blue.
The Letter Taw:
At the center of the Parenthesis of Scorpio, (here, appearing in Syllable 527) the letter Taw is represented in its original form, as appears in ancient Hebrew, as a Cross (+), illustrating the centrality of the Cross in the Work of Resolution.
The Central Verse, which represents the Unmanifested State of BEING, prior to and after HIS Manifestation, is represented here as a flower appearing twice, before and after the Diagram of the 12 Verses.
The Central Verse comprises 7 Syllables.
The 12 Verses comprise 942 Syllables.
If we see the Central Verse manifest once, the total number of Syllables is 949; if twice, 956.
Every Syllable within the 12 Verses has two numbers of position, one starting from the Central Verse, and one from the first Syllable of the First Verse. In this Diagram the numbering system is from the First Verse, from 1 to 942.
This representation is referred to as a “diamond”, as it follows a logic reminiscent of the one applying to squares represented as diamonds: there, the diamond consists of 2 oppositely oriented triangles, each triangle displaying the natural sequence of numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.), with the lower triangle being one size below the top one.
Here, the “triangles” follow the pattern: 2, 11, 20, etc... Each number is 9 more than the previous one, which means: all numbers are reduced to the same digit, the “digital root”, seen as an “essence”:
11: 1 + 1 = 2; 11 is the 2nd number of essence 2
20: 2 + 0 = 2; 20 is the 3rd number of essence 2
29: 2 + 9 = 11, 1+1 = 2; 29 is the 4th,
And so on…
The upper triangle comprises 11 levels, of increasing number of Letters:
2, 11, 20, 29, 38, 47, 56, 65, 74, 83, 92 Letters, the sum of which is 517.
The lower triangle comprises 10 levels, of decreasing number of Letters:
83, 74, 65, 56, 47, 38, 29, 20, 11, 2, the sum of which is 425.
517+425 = 942, disposed on 21 levels.
Another way of counting is:
There is a Horizon of 92 Letters, with 2 triangles of 425 Letters above and below it:
425 x 2 = 850, and 850 + 92 = 942.
The type of “triangle” just observed is referred to as “essential triangle”, in the sense that it displays a sequence of numbers, starting with a digit from one to nine, with all the numbers sharing the same “digital root”, or “essence”; and the superposition of 2 essential triangles (the base of the second being of one order less than the previous) is referred to as an “essential diamond”.
As this essential diamond of the 942 Syllables of the 12 Verses is based on the essence 2 (starting with 2), and the number of Letters on its horizon is 92, which is the eleventh number of essence 2, it is referred to as “essential diamond of 2/11”.
The flow of the Words is linear.
First version of the Diagram:
The layers around the center are represented in 4 alternating colors (blue, pink, orange, and green).In the inner star, the center is colored amber, while the rest of the star has two shades of blue to show the pattern of hexagon of the first 6 Syllables, with 6 more Syllables forming the 6 points of the star.
Second version of the Diagram:
The initials of each Word are represented in orange (to make a visual distinction between the Words).
The rest of the Letters are represented in blue.
Third version of the Diagram:
The Syllables of each Step are colored distinctly.
amber - the Central Verse
Orange - the Steps to which correspond the Fire signs
Green - the Steps to which correspond the Earth signs
Light Blue - the Steps to which correspond the Air signs
Dark Blue - the Steps to which correspond the Water signs.
Purple - the Parenthesis within the Eighth Step (Scorpio), the Time we are in now, which is One Second for He and She Above.
The Letter Taw:
At the center of the Parenthesis of Scorpio, (here, appearing in Syllable 527) the letter Taw is represented in its original form, as appears in ancient Hebrew, as a Cross (+), illustrating the centrality of the Cross in the Work of Resolution.
Here, the Central Verse is represented only once, with the 949 Syllables displayed in a concentric star of 937, 936 around “1”, the center, which itself contains a concentric star of 13.
We see therefore “a star containing a star”, 937 containing 13 at the center, bearing the 936+13 = 949 Syllables.
937 is the 13th star number starting from 1, and the 12th from 13 (the first and prototype of all the star numbers, representing 12 around 1); it has 12 layers around the center, 1.
Here, inside the central cell, is a star of 13, the archetype of the star.
The Central Verse occupies the hexagon within this central star of 13 (the first Syllable “A” is at the center, and the 6 Syllables of “HA-WA-YA BE-RE-ŠIT” fill the 6 points around), surrounded by the 6 Syllables of the 3 first Words of the First Verse, “‘A-TA LO YO-DA-‘AT”, which means, “Now does not know”; it is the stage of Unmanifestation before the formulation of the Desire of BEING to know HIMSELF.
Around the center are the 12 layers of the remaining 936 Syllables, reminiscent of the Twelve Steps.
