Merkaba Meditation
Meditate on the
symbols I give thee. Keys are they, though hidden from men
The Source of this Merkaba Meditation
This meditation came to me during a
Merkaba meditation session. The story of the
meditation came about with an enigma that is connected to Sefer Yetzira, to
the Merkaba meditation or the kabalistic seven gates meditation, the Sefer Hazohar
by
Rabbi Shimeon bar Yochai, and the
jewelry that I design.
Unconditional Love
The meditation itself is an excellent tool for any kind of manifestation both
spiritual and physical. When you start this meditation you have to keep in mind
that the true nature of creation is unconditional love (I have separated myself
from myself so that I will be able to love myself). Do not try to use this meditation
in order to gain something for yourself alone. Remember all is one and everything
is in its own perfection inside the whole.
So Let's Begin…
Start with a meditation (I use the
Merkaba
meditation) and let your thoughts dissolve and disappear. Then place
yourself in an empty endless void. Now place your wish or goal in this void
and turn it into a bright shining white Spark in the endless void, creating
an axis from this spark-up and down. The next step is to create another axis
at the same length as the first one, this time create it from the middle of
the first axis, where the first spark is and pull it backward and forward. The
next step is to create another axis from the middle to the left and to the right,
and then connect all the end points of the axis to each other.
The structure you'll create is an octahedron, a double pyramid. If you know
Sacred Geometry, then you are probably familiar with the five Platonic solids.
These five elements are the basic foundation for every structure in existence.
One of them, the Octahedron (the double pyramid) is the basic foundation for
the three dimensions.
The next step is to rotate the octahedron on each one of the axis. This will
turn the octahedron to a sphere. At this point, in order to bring our idea to
life we will repeat the process of the embryo cell division. Keep in mind that
the secret of creation is the one who separated itself from itself. Everything
beyond this false reality is one, however this one separated itself into a multitude
of beings, therefore creation always starts with division. That is the
reason the first chapter of genesis starts with the Hebrew letter "Beit" which
equals 2.
So the next thing we will do is to divide the sphere into two spheres, in two
dimensions it will be the Vesica Pisces, the two circles crossing each other
in the middle, the symbol of the first day of creation and the symbol of light.
The next step is to divide these two cells to four; place three spheres at the
base and one at the top so that you will create a tetrahedron, the four-facets
structure that symbolizes the four faces of God.
The next division (the third) will create the eight cells structure of the Egg
of Life.
If you will connect all the middle points of the spheres you will get a three
dimensional Star of David. This eight cell structure contains the secrets of
the musical scales which are the keys to the different dimensions. This structure
contains the infinite potential of every living creature.
At this point there is a perfect balance of both masculine and feminine forces
that is the point of balance. It is also connected to the structure of the Cube
octahedron which contains all the five Platonic structures.
From this point all you have to is to multiply the 8 to 16 (just focus on the
numbers), the 16 to 32 ,the 32 to 64,the 64 to 128,the 128 to 256 and the 256
to 512.
Every multi cell living creature starts to wear its own unique form. Now say
the Hebrew word "Chai", alive, and know, feel and believe that your thoughts
taken here are already formed in the higher planes of existence.
Sacred Geometry
I used this after I studied sacred geometry, and to my surprise I found out
the next description of the beginning of creation from the Ancient kabala book
"
Sefer Hayetzira" (the Book of Creation):
"
He (God) selected three letters from among the simple ones and sealed
them and formed them into a Great Name,
I H V, and with this He sealed the universe in six directions.
Fifth; He looked above, and sealed the Height with I H V.
Sixth; He looked below, and sealed the Depth with I V H.
Seventh; He looked forward, and sealed the East with H I V.
Eighth; He looked backward, and sealed the West with H V I.
Ninth; He looked to the right, and sealed the South with V I H.
Tenth; He looked to the left, and sealed the North with V H I.
Behold! From the Ten ineffable Sephiroth do, proceed the One Spirit of the Gods
of the living, Air, Water, Fire; and also Height, Depth, East, West, South and
North".
Merkaba Meditation and the Cosmic Language
Here are some interested things that I've discovered. At one point when I came
up to the end of the meditation I saw the Hebrew letters "Reish", "Sheen", "Beit"
and "Yood". At first I didn't get it, but a short calculation brought up the
number 512. The name Rashbi is the name of Rabi Shimeon Bar Yochai who is considered
to be the author of the "
Zohar". When
I checked it out I've found a quote from an ancient kabalistic book from the
11th century which is called "
The writings Of the Temples and
The Merkaba".
It deals with the higher planes of existence and "
The Seven Palaces" with the different guardian
angels standing on each gate and so on. On the seventh palace the traveler will
see the four Serafim with the four faces lion, bull, eagle and man. Then he
will see 64 faces, 128 eyes and 256 wings before he will watch the throne of
God.
If you will look and count the steps you've just made in the meditation from
the four cells or the tetrahedron point you will see that it takes seven steps
to go to 512!
Cosmic Language
The book goes on and says that if the traveler's soul is pure enough he will
enter the seventh gate and stand before the throne. What I've discovered is
that the meditation opened a path to a flow of knowledge that appears as a cosmic
language, that can be found in symbols and "hints" in the everyday aspects of
life. Two months later, I have created the Genesa Crystal pendant.
Merkaba from the Biblical Prophet
Now this whole theme describes the Vision of The Merkaba from the biblical prophet
Yehezkel and the structure of the cube octahedron represents the "Ofanim", the
wheels within wheels that create the Merkaba.
