Unfolded

We may all be unfolded images of aspects that exist in a higher reality.

That's a tesseract at the top of the post - a four-dimensional cube, or hypercube, shown in its unfolded state.

As a cube can be shown in its two-dimensional state as a cruciform shape when its unfolded, this is the 3-D appearance of the tesseract I seem able to best get a handle on.


To fold a 2-D cross shape back up into a cube, fold along the lines where one face meets another, and tuck the outer (top and bottom) lines into each other.

To fold a 3-D unfolded tesseract back up to its 4-D form, simply fold along each face where one cube meets another, and tuck the top and bottom faces into each other.


I find it fascinating to relate the well known Tree of Life diagram to the tesseract.

Treating each sephira as a 'Face', fold along the Gevurah-Chesod axis, then tuck the top and bottom faces into each other.

For the purpose of this illustration, consider Yesod and Tiphareth as 'interior' faces which fold into each other.

The first thing which struck me was that Malkuth(where I am now-merrily shaking the Tree) folds directly into Kether (Kingdom, or Godhead) without the interference of any other spheres.

You don't have to travel those 22 pathways. Kether and Malkuth are inextricably entwined in each other.

Thou Art God/dess.
