Chapter VII

We have seen in the last Chapter how our original conception of "The Tree of Life" may be multiplied and crystallized into a Macrocosmic Snow Flake, or Six-fold Star. Let us now return to our first simple form of the "Tree" and examine it more carefully with a view to further discoveries.

We have been accustomed to look upon this as representing a flat two-dimensional surface, but we were not necessarily correct in our supposition.

In reality we have been looking at the front surface of a Triangular Crystal Prism , and what we saw was not all in one plane. The "sides" of the Tree are but two angles of an equilateral solid; the third angle, at the back, is invisible, being completely hidden by the Paths of the Central Pillar.

This Central Pillar is not level with the front surface, but is the Core of the prism. Kether is the Apex of a pyramid whose base is equilateral. Malkuth is at the lower point of a descending pyramid, all four sides of which are equilateral, thus forming a Tetrahedron.

Tiphereth and Yesod are both embedded in the solid, and the Paths of the "Three Mothers" are interior channels.

Looking at the "Tree" in the ordinary manner, we should have to realize that only the Three Reciprocal Paths, and the Four Paths forming the Side Pillars, are actually on the level surface before us. There are, however, three Reciprocal Paths of each kind, viz.: nine in all, for there are two others, in each case, which retreat and meet at the third angle of the prism. There is another pair of vertical Paths, similar to those at the sides, but concealed at the back of the solid.

Instead of there being only two Paths from Kether to Chokmah and Binah, there are three , one sloping away to the concealed angle at the back. The triangular surface we see is not vertical, but slopes back towards Kether.
