It's really a waste of time rambling on how you got noticed to. What's the point? Sorry, I'm annoyed easily by meaningless babble and then I end up doing it. It's nothing personal. I've asked before though what is triskabibliography or whatever it's called.

Uh, just to make it known. You guys do realize that you are wasting time arguing? You were saying stuff about wasting time with snide remarks. Well, arguing is a waste of time. So, it looks like soulseer should back off a bit and play the ARG, and the rest of us needs to get back to the subject of triskobiblios and the 13 books.

Awesome find Teela. Any way you can link where you found those pictures. I'd like to read up some more on the subject.

Thanks to one of the quotes found on the images posted by Teela, I googled and scored this page: http://www.yogaville.org/Integral_Yoga/Yantra/Yantra.php

The picture's a called a Yantra.

Quote:
A yantra is a physical expression of a mantra - a mantra being a Divine aspect in the form of sound vibration - yantra in the form of a geometrical figure.

cool that picture is almost identical to islington's one

that part about the two triangle's on the site

Quote:
The six triangles are actually a combination of two larger triangles, one pointed down, the other up. As one triangle passes through the other, we get this six-sided figure. The triangle with apex upward represents the positive, or masculine aspect; the inverted triangle is the negative, or feminine, aspect. In Sanskrit this concept is called Siva-Shakti. It is a combination of the male and female, equally represented. There is no inferiority or superiority for either aspect; they blend perfectly together. Whichever way you turn the yantra, they remain the same. So it makes a complete whole, and this itself represents the entire nirguna (unmanifest) as well as saguna (manifest) aspects of the Supreme.


is the same type of thing that in the book 'The Di Vinci Code'

References to Six (Six Sided Square):

Quote:

Whichever way you turn the yantra, they remain the same. So it makes a complete whole, and this itself represents the entire nirguna (unmanifest) as well as saguna (manifest) aspects of the Supreme.

Once the triangles come together, the hexagon could then represent something else also: the six basic Tattvas or principles - the five senses and the mind as the sixth. The six-sided crystal then manifests outward in further expansions of the primordial energy and matter. Why and how does this happen? Out of love. So all the beautiful lotus petals represent the loving manifestation.

So Islington took Six Sided Square, gave a meaning, and pointed us at it. Most interesting.
