The
secret of king Solomon’s
Ring, last opportunity for 2011 to recreate the Sun Talisman and a cure
to the Mercury Retrograde
Hello,
The topic of this current newsletter is the pursuit of Happiness. This
is a subject that concerns all of us as human beings, especially in
light of all the financial and social turmoil at this present time.
A few weeks ago I met a childhood friend that I hadn’t seen
in years.
Over the years he had become a business man who had experienced many
great successes and failures. His personal story is a fascinating
one. At a very young age he discovered that in one day, his
parents lost all their belongings, and he himself was also in debt. As
a result, he was compelled to go out and get a job. His
belief
carried him, and in a short time he was financially successful at a
very young age, he had paid back his family debts and had established
businesses around the world. The world financial crisis did not spare
him and he was forced to close some of his businesses and start over.
When I met him, he asked me to create a ring for him connected to a
story he told me that appears below. I told him I already
have a
similar ring in my collection, but he was adamant that he wanted a new
ring based on the story of King Solomon. When I read the book
of
Ecclesiastes again which King Solomon had written in his old age, I
understood exactly why.
King Solomon was a man who had everything, great power and wealth.
Towards the end of his days, he also saw through the illusion, and
realized that
amassing wealth and power is not the source of happiness. He therefore
turned to spiritual seeking. This same friend also understood this
truth, and he too turned to the spiritual path in pursuit of happiness.
Here is the story and here
is the ring:
This story is based on the legend of King Solomon, wisest of men. This
tale appears in many different versions in many cultures all over the
world, due to the fact that the principle that lies behind the ring is
a principle that is relevant to all our lives as human beings.
King Solomon had an army commander named Benayahu Ben Yehoyada. It was
during the Passover holiday, Solomon and the kingdom’s
ministers
convened for the holidays. At the time of the festive meal, King
Solomon decided to sting his army commander Benayahu Ben Yehoyada, who
was a conceited man. “Benayahu”, Solomon
addressed the army
commander,” I am in need of a special ring, a ring that has
special
power. This is a ring that when looked upon turns a sad man happy, and
a happy man sad. I know that only you of all people can find such a
ring. I need such a ring by the eve of the feast of Tabernacles, the
next holiday eve that begins in half a year’s time. This way,
you will
have enough time to locate the ring.” The army commander did
not doubt
his own ability for a moment, and responded that he will find the ring.
The time passed and Benayahu searched for the ring in every possible
place, he sent agents, checked registries, consulted elders, and
despite all these attempts he was not able to find even a clue as to
the existence of such a ring. Finally, the eve of the feast of
Tabernacles arrived and Benayahu found himself wandering through the
markets of Jerusalem. The Sun was beginning to set and the peddlers
were busy shutting down their stalls. In his despair, the minister
approached an old goldsmith and told him about the ring he was
searching for. The goldsmith listened and then took out a simple gold
ring and engraved on it three letters and presented it to the army
commander. Benayahu looked at the ring and immediately smiled; this was
exactly the ring he was looking for.
The Holiday Eve arrived and Solomon’s people convened.
Solomon turned
to Benayahu smiling, and asked him if he had found the ring. To
Solomon’s surprise, the army commander took out a ring and
presented it
to the king. The king looked at the ring, looked at the beauty and
splendor that surrounded him, he then looked around at his ministers
and his smile vanished. On the ring were engraved three letters in
Hebrew , ג.ז.י, (translated into English, four) T.T.S.P, initials for
“THIS
TOO SHALL PASS”….
The tale tells us that the understanding that all is ephemeral, and the
knowing that all our power, wealth and influence here are temporary.
This realization brought King Solomon to write the book of Ecclesiastes
that deals with philosophical questions regarding the meaning of life
and the pursuit of happiness.
On the center of the ring appears the three letters ג.ז.י while on the
length of the ring is engraved the following verse in Hebrew from
Ecclesiastes
Chapter 1 verse 9
Translated into English:
“That
which has
been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which
will be done. So there is nothing new under the Sun.”
This simple truth is beyond cultural or religious concepts. When a
Buddhist monk read
Ecclesiastes that was written by King Solomon he stated that it was
written by the Buddha...

On July the 24th the Sun travelled in it’s own sign (Leo).
During this

peak of it’s essential power.I was able to assemble 10 pieces

05:53 - 06:35.
I apologize that I cannot create a larger number of Sun talismans.
The Sun talisman brings the fire and light into your life. It is a
symbol of optimism, creativity and success. The Sun talisman sharpens
the mind, removes melancholy and strengthens your life force.
During the past few days computers at my home and at the workshop broke
down,
My car’s AC compressor started to show signs of wear, a new
tent city
rose near my home in Tel-Aviv as endless demonstrations are taking
place in Israel and last but not least
the world’s financial market went mad.
Yes - it’s another Mercury retrograde...
We still have few talismans left from the last limited edition that was
assembled during Mercury’s rising in the sign of
it’s own exaltation so
added them to this special sale.
