The Cube of Saturn🧵 (1)
According to Genesis, Hashem created the world in SIX days and rested on the Seventh, which was a Saturday, the Sabbath. According to the Gnostics, most people are in a state of spiritual sleep and do not realize there exists a higher, spiritual reality.
In Sacred Geometry, the number of the physical, material world is SIX, a CUBE has Six Sides.
In DaVinci's Vitruvian Man, we see a man encased in a SQUARE, a 2D representation of a Cube and a CIRCLE, a 2D representation of a Sphere. Hermetically known as Squaring the CIRCLE.
The Square (or CUBE) represents the Physical World and the Mind/ Body while the Circle represents the Spirit, as it no beginning or end. Hence, the Vitruvian Man encased in a Squared Circle symbolizes Man in a Higher State of Consciousness, the Union of the Body and the Spirit.
The Four Corners of the Earth SQUARES the Circle of the Heavens known as the Ecliptic of the SUN.
Hence, Plato, amongst others, said the (Six Sided) CUBE represented EARTH.
Kabbalists say Metatron's Cube holds all the shapes in exsistence including the FIVE PLATONIC SOLIDS.
Plato's Cube symbolized EARTH, Kabbalists rebranded this as Malkuth or the Lowest and Densest Sefirot (or Sphere) on the Sephirothic Tree.
The Hebrew Alphabet is said to be the Mystical Thought Form of their Deity which fits in the Cube of Space.
The Cube or HEXAHEDRON relates to the element of EARTH, according to Chinese Astrology and Platonism, Saturn rules EARTH. Hence, ancient altars were cube shaped, symbolizing Saturn.
Saturn is the Zodiacial Keeper of Time.
"Saturn can be regarded as the planetary Dweller of the Threshold, for Humanity as whole has to face that Dweller as well as the Angel of the Presence, and in so doing discover that both the Dweller And the Angel are that complex duality which is the Human Family."
Jews still wear the Tefillin, a Cubic Black Stone, like a Spiritual Antenna.
Here is where things get intereresting. The most holy site in Islam is the Kaaba. The Kaaba is Giant Black Cube, although it has been different colors in the past.
The Kaaba was constructed by the Patriarch of the Abrahamic Religions Abraham (Ibrahim) and his son Ishmael (Ismail). In Sufi Lore, there is, also, a Kaaba in the Seventh Heaven, that Angels circle around which is believed to be connected to those who circle the Kaaba on Earth.
It is believed by circling the Kaaba it keeps the flow of Allah's Energy on Earth.
According to Aristole, the Seventh Heaven is the Heaven of SATURN. The Highest Heaven BEFORE the Fixed Stars of the Zodiac and, ultimately, the EMPYREAN or Highest Heaven, the SOURCE of ALL.
An important feature of the CUBE is that it unfolds into a CROSS, the Weapon and Symbol of the Gnostic Demiurge used to crucify Christ.
Therefore, like the Cube, the Cross represents Matter, the Four Cardinal Directions, the Zodiac & TIME, the Space-Time Continuum.
The Cross is an important part of the Glyph of Saturn, the other important aspect of the glyph is Saturn's Sickle. The Cross and Sickle combine to make Saturn's Planetary Glyph.
Saturn's Sickle is often thought to symbolize a Cresent Moon which is associated with the MIND.
Therefore, Saturn's Glyph represents, "Matter/ The Physical (Cross) taking Precedence Over Mind or Human Spirit (Crescent)"
The Glyph can be seen as the Soul being stuck but seeking to rise above the Cross of Matter.
Saturn is often depicted as Father Time.
One the attributes of Saturn's Rings is that they slow down the Movement of Atoms, which is what concentrates Energy into Form. Whereas the Sun accelerates the motion of Atoms, anything Trapped in Saturns Orbit is Hindered by Time and Space.
Hence, Saturn is the Lord of Matter.
To the Greeks, Saturn was known as Chronos,
Chronus (Saturn) eats the his 12 Children, the 12 Titans which represents the 12 Solar Months or the 12 ZOOdical Houses of the Physical SUN, which was known as the Gnostic Lion-Faced Demiurge.
Chronos = Chronological Time = Saturn
Titus Lucretius Carus writes, "As Chronos, he was also the SUN himself, the prime fountain of light and heat, which his name immediately implies Chronos meaning nothing more than irradiation, or ETHEREAL FIRE."
"According to the systems of most of the ancient, as well as most of the modern philosophers, the corruption or destruction of one thing is but the generation of another, and the heat of the sun destroys what its heat has also brought to perfection."
The great luminary, and original fountain of all things, was hence allegorically represented as devouring his own offspring."
According to Scriptures, the Space-Time Continuum is enclosed in a CUBE called a "tent". Hence, the idea of Saturn's TIME Cube, Saturn is a TIME LORD.
As the Kabbalists abd Sufis agree, everything within this "KOSMOS" is based upon mathematics and is built by "frequency" & "vibrations" called the WORD in Scripture (John 1:1). This Cosmos Box (or Saturn's Cube) is TEMPORAL, having a beginning and end, an Alpha and Omega Point.
Here is where we can see the connection between Saturn, the Demiurge and the Hebrew god.
Jung wrote, "The parallel between the Hebrew god & Saturn is of considerable importance as an alchemical idea of the transformation of the God of the Old Testament into the God of the New."
"Alchemists attached great significance to Saturn being the outermost planet, supreme archon and, also, the demiurge Ialdabaoth, he was the spiritus niger who lies captive in the darkness of matter, the deity or part of the deity which has been swallowed up in his own creation."
"He is the dark god who reverts to his original luminous state in the mystery of alchemical transmutation. As the Aurora consurgens says: “Blessed is he that shall find this science and into whom the prudence of Saturn floweth”
Carl Jung continues to make the connection between the Hebrew Deity, Saturn and the Gnostic Demiurge Yaldaboath.
"In medieval astrology Saturn was believed to be the abode of the devil. Both Saturn and Ialdabaoth, the demiurge and highest archon, have lion’s faces."
"Origen elicits from the diagram of Celsus that Michael, the first angel of the Creator, has “the shape of a lion.” He obviously stands in the place of Ialdabaoth, who is identical with Saturn, as Origen points out."
