Tantric Star

Activation: Initiation, Inspiration

The Tantric Star is formed by interlocking ascending and descending tetrahedrons (see Tetrahedron). Also known as the Mer Ka Ba, the Tantric Star functions as a 3-dimensional mandala, connecting us to our centre point, a stargate into the matrix of manifest reality. It describes the energy pattern created by the electromagnetic male and female potencies of creation as they come together to conceive atoms, Humans, the Universe - the seminal form that Consciousness takes as it initiates the polarisation of the Monad into the sacred enclosure of the Trinity, holding the frequency of the 3rd dimension fully manifest in form.

This form protects against unbalanced magnetic emanations, eg, mobile and cordless phones.

The symbolic significance of a Vogel crystal stems from its unique design, purpose, and the intentions behind its creation by Marcel Vogel, a scientist and spiritual researcher. These quartz crystals are meticulously cut to precise specifications, often embodying sacred geometry and metaphysical principles, which imbue them with layered symbolic meaning.
At its core, a Vogel crystal represents the harmonious intersection of science and spirituality. Marcel Vogel, who spent decades at IBM researching luminescence and material properties, later turned his focus to the metaphysical potential of quartz. His work resulted in crystals cut to amplify and direct Universal Life Force energy, making them symbols of the bridge between the tangible, physical world and the subtle, energetic realms of consciousness. This duality reflects a quest for understanding and balancing the material and the ethereal.
The specific cut of a Vogel crystal—often featuring a receptive (female) end with a wider angle and a transmitting (male) end with a narrower angle—symbolizes the flow of energy and intention. The receptive end draws in energy, while the transmitting end focuses and projects it, much like a lens or a laser. This design mirrors the process of taking in universal energy, refining it through intent, and directing it toward healing, transformation, or spiritual connection. Symbolically, it embodies the idea of channeling potential into purposeful action.
A key element of its symbolic significance lies in its alignment with the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, a mystical framework representing the structure of the universe and the human soul. Vogel drew inspiration from this pattern, believing that cutting quartz along its C-axis (the crystal’s natural line of symmetry) in a form reminiscent of the Tree of Life would enhance its resonance with life force energy. Thus, the Vogel crystal symbolizes a microcosm of cosmic order, reflecting the interconnectedness of all things and the potential for personal growth and enlightenment.
Additionally, the precise angles used in cutting—often 51 degrees, 51 minutes, and 51 seconds at the receptive end, matching the angle of the Great Pyramid of Giza—tie the crystal to ancient wisdom and sacred architecture. This connection suggests a link to timeless knowledge, stability, and the amplification of human potential, reinforcing its role as a tool for transformation and alignment with higher consciousness.
In practice, Vogel crystals are seen as conduits for healing, meditation, and intention-setting, symbolizing clarity, focus, and the power of the mind to shape reality. Vogel emphasized that these crystals must be cut with love and positive intent, infusing them with a symbolic essence of purity and compassion. They stand as emblems of the belief that human consciousness, when paired with the natural perfection of quartz, can transcend limitations and foster profound change.
In essence, the Vogel crystal symbolizes unity, precision, and the amplification of life’s inherent energy. It’s a testament to the idea that structure, intention, and spirit can converge to unlock deeper understanding and connection with the universe.

In modern spirituality the lotus flower echoes its meanings from ancient Eastern traditions but often with a modern twist:

-    Spiritual Awakening and Enlightenment: Just as the lotus emerges from murky waters to bloom in beauty, it symbolizes the journey from ignorance to enlightenment, from the material to the spiritual. It's a powerful emblem of transcending earthly challenges to reach spiritual purity.
-    Purity: Despite growing in muddy waters, the lotus remains clean and pure, symbolizing the purity of the soul or spirit amidst the chaos of the world. It encourages individuals to maintain purity of heart and intention.
-    Rebirth and Renewal: The daily cycle of the lotus closing at night and opening in the morning symbolizes renewal, rebirth, and the ever-present opportunity for a fresh start, thus focusing on personal transformation.
-     Connection to Spirit: In various cultures, the lotus represents a connection to higher consciousness or Spirit. It's seen as a bridge between the mundane and the sacred.
-    Balance and Harmony: The lotus's ability to float above water yet be rooted below symbolizes the balance between spiritual and material existence, encouraging harmony in one's life.
-    Self-Realization: The stages of the lotus's growth are sometimes likened to stages of self-realization or enlightenment, from being submerged in the material world to fully blooming in spiritual awareness.
-    Resilience: The lotus's ability to thrive in difficult environments is a symbol of resilience, teaching that one can grow and flourish despite adverse conditions.
-    Beauty in Imperfection: The lotus, with its roots in mud, also celebrates the beauty in what is often considered imperfect or less desirable. This can inspire acceptance and love for oneself, flaws included.
-    Meditation and Focus: In meditation practices, focusing on the image of a lotus can help center the mind, fostering peace, clarity, and a deep meditative state.
-    Chakras and Energy Flow: In yogic and energy work modalities, the lotus is associated with the heart chakra, symbolizing love, compassion, and the flow of life-force energy.
-    Healing: The lotus is also seen as a symbol of healing, both physical and emotional, representing the healing power of nature and the spirit's capacity to heal itself.

The lotus flower is not just an emblem of spiritual ideals but also a practical guide for personal growth, encouraging practices that lead to inner peace, balance, and a deeper connection with the universe. Many use lotus imagery in meditation, artwork, or wear it as jewelry to embody these qualities in their daily life.
