View in PDF(opens in a new window)As well as the Tree of Life known to Kabbalists for hundreds of years,
which may be called the ‘outer form’ of this blueprint for holistic
systems embodying the divine paradigm, there is an ‘inner form’ of this
geometrical object. It consists of two sets of seven regular polygons:
triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, decagon & dodecagon.
One set is the mirror image of the other. They are joined at the ‘root
edge.’ The plane in which they lie passes through the vertical Pillars of
Mercy and Severity but not through the central Pillar of Equilibrium,
because the outer form of the Tree of Life is really three-dimensional,
not two-dimensional, as usually depicted in books on Kabbalah. This
means that the Sephiroth Chokmah, Chesed, Netzach, Binah, Geburah
& Hod are located at corners of the triangles and hexagons but that
Tiphareth and Daath do not coincide with the endpoints of the root
edge — only their projections onto the plane of the polygons do.

View in PDF(opens in a new window)The number 137 is embodied in the blueprint of the inner Tree of
Life. Its (7+7) enfolded polygons have 94 sectors. When each
sector is divided into three tetractyses, 1370 yods are generated,
i.e., the number of yods in 137 tetractyses. This proves beyond
reasonable doubt that the number 137 is a basic structural
parameter of the Tree of Life, in keeping with its central status in
physics as a number which determines one of the fundamental
constants of nature — the fine-structure constant, whose
magnitude sets the scale of the energies of electrons in atoms.

the fifth tree — its first Sephirah of Construction. There are a
further 248 (blue) yods up to, but not including, Chesed of
the tenth tree. Each yod denotes a particle, a gauge field of
E8 or E8'. The Godname EL of Chesed with number value 31
prescribes the dimension 248 of E8 because there are 31
emanations up to Chesed of the fifth tree. 248 is the number
value of Raziel, the Archangel of Chokmah.

View in PDF(opens in a new window)According to E8×E8' superstring theory (one of the five types of
superstrings), the unified force between such superstrings is mediated by
virtual exchange of the 248 gauge bosons of E8 (ordinary matter) and the
248 gauge bosons of E 8' (shadow matter). An ancient symbol of the four
elements of Earth, Air, Fire & Water, the square encodes this information.
When its sectors are turned into 2nd-order tetractyses, the next higher
differentiation of the Pythagorean tetractys:
they contain 248 hexagonal yods (the yods at the corners are omitted so as
make clear which yods are being counted). Each one symbolises a
Sephirah of Construction as well as a possible quantum state of the spin-1
particle that transmits the force between this type of superstring.

(corners) of an eight-dimensional object called the
Gosset polytope 421. In the 1960s, Peter McMullen drew
(by hand) a 2-dimensional representation of 421. In
2007, a four-year collaboration between
mathematicians from Europe and the USA announced
the results of their calculations of the mathematical
structure of E8, using a supercomputer. The image
shown here was computer-generated by John
Stembridge, based on McMullen's drawing. (Credit:

has 496 hexagonal yods. Each yod symbolizes a particle involved in the
transmission of the superstring force with the symmetry of E8×E8'. The
number of tetractyses is 80. This is the number value of Yesod, the
Sephirah immediately above Malkuth in the Tree of Life. This archetypal
pattern is prescribed by the Godnames. For example, it is prescribed by
the Godname YAH with number value 15 because each sector of the
octagon has 10 tetractyses with 15 corners. There are 576 yods
surrounding the centre of the octagon, where 576 = 242 = 12×22×32×42.
33 yods are corners of 1st-order tetractyses, where 33 = 1! + 2! + 3! +
4!. These are examples of how the integers 1, 2, 3 & 4 symbolized by
the four rows of the Pythagorean tetractys express the properties of
archetypal patterns and holistic systems possessing sacred geometry.

View in PDF(opens in a new window)The number value 428 of Chasmalim, the Order of Angels assigned to Chesed, is
the number of yods lying on edges of the 94 tetractyses in the (7+7) enfolded
polygons that are intrinsic to it, i.e., not shared with the polygons enfolded in the
next higher tree. Separately, these polygons have (248+248) intrinsic yods lying on
edges of tetractyses that symbolise the (248+248) roots/gauge bosons of E8 ×E8'.
This is a striking example of how the Godnames, Archangels, Angelic Orders &
Mundane Chakras of the Sephiroth mathematically define sacred geometrical
structures that embody parameters of scientific significance, in this case the 496
gauge bosons of E8×E8' that mediate the unified interactions between E8×E8'
heterotic superstrings. That this particular conjunction of the numbers 496 & 428 is
highly unlikely to be a coincidence is indicated by the fact that there are 194
hexagonal yods either in the root edge or on the edges of the 48 tetractyses in the
seven separate polygons, where 194 is the number value of Tzadekh, the Mundane
Chakra of Chesed — the Sephirah to which the Chasmalim are assigned.

This property might be dismissed as a coincidence were it not for the fact that the hexagon &
dodecagon have 248 yods and the octagon & decagon have 248 yods. In other words, the yod
population 496 splits into two identical numbers (248), in conformity with the prediction by E8×E8'
heterotic superstring theory. Even supposing that it were mere coincidence than the last four
polygons have 496 such yods, it is highly improbable that the polygons would have yod
populations that separately add up to 248. It is therefore to discount chance. Instead, this
property demonstrates how the universal blueprint of the inner Tree of Life embodies the
dynamics of the E8×E8 ' heterotic superstring.

When their 24 sectors are turned into 2nd-order
tetractyses, there are 1680 yods outside the shared

Tree of Life that surround centres of sectors (black
yods). They symbolise the 1680 turns of each
helical whorl of the E8×E8' heterotic superstring
described with micro-psi by Besant & Leadbeater.
The 840 yods surrounding the centres of the 12
sectors in each polygon denote the 840 turns in the
inner or outer halves of a whorl. The 1680 circularly
polarised oscillations in each standing wave are the
manifestation of the 24 E8 gauge charges that are
spread along each whorl and denoted by these
centres. The ten whorls of the superstring carry the
240 E8 gauge charges. They manifestation as

solids and the Catalan solids (their duals, in which vertices & faces

disdyakis triacontahedron. It has 62 vertices, 180 edges & 120
triangular faces. Each edge can be thought of as the base of an
interior triangle with a corner at the centre of the polyhedron. If these
triangles are divided into their sectors, it can be calculated that 1680
vertices, edges & triangles surround an axis passing through any
two diametrically opposite vertices. This is the number of turns made
in each helical whorl of the E8×E8' heterotic superstring as it revolves
five time around its axis of spin. It is an indication that the disdyakis
triacontahedron is the polyhedral version of the Tree of Life, which
encodes the same structural parameter of superstrings.

Construction of each of its sectors from three tetractyses requires 168
more yods. 84 yods lie on edges of tetractyses inside sectors and 84 yods
either lie on edges of sectors or are centres of tetractyses. This 84:84
division of the structural parameter 168 of the E8×E8 heterotic superstring
is characteristic of holistic systems embodying the universal patterns of
sacred geometry. A dodecagon has 156 hexagonal yods. 155 hexagonal
yods are associated with each of the two joined dodecagons. 155 is the
number value of ADONAI MELEKH, the Godname of Malkuth, and 168 is
the number value of Cholem Yesodeth, its Mundane Chakra. This
demonstrates how the Godname of the Sephirah signifying the material
universe determines the form of the basic units of matter.

View in PDF(opens in a new window)The fact that 168 yods surround the centre of a square whose
sectors are each divided into triangles which are then constructed
from tetractyses is an illustration of the Tetrad Principle, whereby
the fourth member of a class of mathematical objects, or the fourth
stage in its construction from tetractyses, always represents a
parameter of the Tree of Life. In this case, the square is the fourth
stage in the sequence:
point-line-triangle-square-pentagon, etc
and the superstring structural parameter 168 is the number of yods
needed for its fourth stage of construction from tetractyses.

View in PDF(opens in a new window)When the 47 sectors of the seven enfolded polygons are
transformed into 2nd-order tetractyses (the next order above the
tetractys in which yods are replaced by tetractyses), they contain
3360 yods. This is the number of helical turns in all ten closed
curves of the E8×E8' heterotic superstring when they revolve once
around the spin axis of the spin-½ particle. Each yod denotes a
turn. Physically, it is an oscillation of the circularly polarized
standing wave running around the curve. The Godname ELOHIM
with number value 50 prescribes the fundamental constituent of
quarks because its ten whorls make 50 revolutions, each of 336
turns, about its spin axis. Assigning this number to each of the 336
yods in the first (6+6) enfolded of the inner Tree of Life generates
the number 16800 as the number of circularly polarized oscillations
in all ten closed curves of the heterotic superstring.

All ten closed curves of the E 8×E8' heterotic superstring wind 3360
times in one revolution around its spin axis. This is the number of
yods in the seven enfolded polygons of the inner form of the Tree of
Life when their 48 sectors are each turned into 2nd-order tetractyses.
It is astounding evidence that the superstring is the microscopic
manifestation of the universal Tree of Life blueprint.
Page 43
View in PDF(opens in a new window)The seven separate regular polygons of the inner Tree of Life have 192 vertices,
edges & triangles. They correspond to the 192 lines & broken lines of the 64
trigrams in one half of the I Ching table. The 192 geometrical elements in the
second, identical set of seven polygons correspond to the 192 lines & broken lines
in the other half of the table. The 24 lines & broken lines in the upper trigrams of
the eight diagonal hexagrams correspond to the 24 vertices, edges & triangles in
the hexagon, which is the halfway stage in the sequence of seven polygons. The
24 lines & broken lines in the lower trigrams of the eight diagonal hexagrams
correspond to the 24 vertices, edges & triangles in the hexagon in the second set
of polygons. Each of the 384 lines & broken lines of the I Ching table therefore
symbolises a geometrical element composing the two sets of polygons of the
inner Tree of Life. This is compelling evidence that the I Ching table is — like the
inner Tree of Life — a representation of the same universal blueprint. The
counterpart of the yin/yang polarities of lines and broken lines is the distinction
between geometrical elements defining the boundaries of polygons and their
internal elements, in each case there being 192 in each class.

centres of the 42 tetractyses surrounding it. The six
hexagonal yods in the former are the counterpart of the six

Page 47
View in PDF(opens in a new window)ADONAI, the Godname of Malkuth with number value 65, defines the lowest
ten Trees of Life because they have 65 Sephirothic emanations. EL, Godname
of Chesed with number value 31, prescribes them because they have 127
triangles, where 127 is the 31st prime number. When their sectors are turned
into tetractyses, there are 1680 yods below the top of the tenth tree (the 65th
emanation). This is how ADONAI determines the superstring structural
parameter 1680. They belong to 131 tetractyses, where 131 is the number
value of Samael, the Archangel of Geburah.
The first (6+6) polygons enfolded in each tree constitute a holistic system
because their properties are prescribed by the Godnames of the ten Sephiroth,
e.g., ELOHIM, the Godname of Binah, prescribes them because they have 50
corners. When each of their 70 sectors is turned into a tetractys, there are
1680 yods lining the 600 edges of the (60+60) polygons enfolded in the 10
trees that are intrinsic to them in the sense that none of them belong to
polygons enfolded in the next higher tree.
Just as the 1680 helical turns of each whorl in the heterotic superstring define
its form, so the 1680 yods on edges of the polygons determine their shape. A
whorl is a Tree of Life in itself, being the microscopic manifestation of a
Sephirah, and therefore can be represented by ten Trees of Life.

yods in the first (6+6) enfolded polygons that are intrinsic to them, i.e.,
unshared with polygons enfolded in adjacent trees. Of, these, (24+24) are
intrinsic corners (white circles) of polygons, leaving (168+168) red and blue
yods other than corners. The (60+60) polygons of the first six types enfolded
in 10 overlapping Trees of Life have (240+240) corners and (1680+1680)
yods other than corners. The superstring structural parameter 1680 is
embodied not only by the boundaries of the polygons but also by their yod
populations. The 3360 yods other than corners symbolise the 3360 turns in
one revolution of the ten helical whorls of the E8×E8' heterotic superstring.
A circularly polarised wave comprises two plane waves oscillating 90° out of
phase with each other. The (240+240) corners denote the (240+240) plane
waves associated with the 240 gauge charges of E 8, which are spread over
the 10 whorls of the E 8×E8' heterotic superstring, 24 to a whorl.

View in PDF(opens in a new window)DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks
are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group (2-deoxyribose, which is
a pentose (five carbon) sugar) and one of four types of nitrogen bases. To form a
strand of DNA, nucleotides are linked into chains, with the phosphate and sugar
groups alternating along the sides of the ‘ladder’ of DNA’s double helix. The four
types of nitrogen bases found in nucleotides are: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine
(G) and cytosine (C). The two strands of the molecule are held together by hydrogen
bonding between pairs of complementary nitrogen bases, base A always with base
T and base C always with base G.
RNA is a single strand molecule with a much shorter chain of nucleotides than DNA.
Whereas DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose, whose OH group makes
it less stable than DNA. The complementary base to adenine is not thymine but
uracil (U). Messenger RNA carries information about a protein sequence to the
ribosomes, which synthesize protein in the cell. Transfer RNA is a small RNA chain
of about 80 nucleotides that transfer a specific amino acid to a growing polypeptide
chain at the ribosomal site of protein synthesis. Groups of three bases (codons) in
mRNA hydrogen bond to their complementary anticodons in tRNA. This reads the
sequence of the messenger RNA and is attached to the amino acids. Each type of
tRNA can be attached to only one type of amino acid. Each codon encodes for a
specific amino acid, although a given amino acid may be encoded by several
codons. The table lists the 64 base triplets in DNA, the 64 mRNA codons and their
complementary tRNA anticodons, together with the amino acid for which they code.

View in PDF(opens in a new window)The 384 instances of the nitrogen bases in the 64 codons of mRNA and the 64
anticodons of tRNA are symbolised by the 384 yods in the (6+6) enfolded
polygons other than the endpoints of their shared root edge. The Godname
ELOHIM with number value 50 and the Godname YAHWEH with number value 26
prescribe the 384 instances because the (6+6) enfolded polygons have 50
corners, each set of six polygons having 26 corners.
There are (27×3=81) instances of A, C & G bases in the (3 3=27) bases that
contain only them. There are (37×3=81) instances for the 37 codons that contain
at least one U base. These codons include the three stop codons UAA, UAG &
UGA. There are (34×3=102) instances of bases in codons that include the U base
and which encode solely for amino acids. Hence, the 192 instances of bases
consist of 81 instances of A,C & G bases in the 27 codons containing only them,
nine instances of bases in the three stop codons and 102 instances of bases in
the 34 other codons. This 81:9:102 division compares with the pattern of yods
associated with each set of six polygons. The 90 yods associated with the first
four polygons symbolise the 90 instances of either A, C & G bases in the 27
codons or the bases in the stop codons. The 102 yods of the octagon and
decagon symbolise the 102 instances of bases in the 34 codons containing a U
base. Similarly for the anticodons. A yod and its mirror image in the other set of
polygons denotes an instance of a base and an instance of its complement. The
two sets of polygons are the sacred geometrical basis of human mRNA and tRNA.

1. the inner Tree of Life as the 60 red yods lining the boundaries of the enfolded
triangle, square, pentagon & dodecagon and as the 60 blue yods lining the
boundaries of the hexagon, octagon & decagon;
2. the pair of dodecagons as the 60 hexagonal yods in either one;
3. the disdyakis triacontahedron as the 60 faces in each half of the polyhedron.
When its 12 sectors are each constructed from three tetractyses, the
dodecagon has 180 yods surrounding it centre. They represent the 180
instances of the four nitrogen bases C, G, U & A. The three groups of
four sectors arranged in a cross each contain 60 yods. A yod from each
group denotes an instance of a base in the 60 non-stop/start codons.

overlapping Tree of Life. The 42 triangles of the Sri
Yantra have 378 yods, whilst the central triangle has
six hexagonal yods on its edges, a total of 384 yods.
Both sacred geometries express the seven-fold nature
of holistic systems, the seven trees representing the
seven Sephiroth of Construction. Their equivalence is
further demonstrated by the fact that there are 259
corners, edges & triangles up to the top of the seventh
tree, whilst the 43 triangles in the Sri Yantra are
composed of 259 corners, edges & triangles.

yods up to the top of the seventh Tree of Life. They
correspond to the 384 yods in the 3-dimensional Sri Yantra
whose 43 triangles are turned into tetractyses. They also
denote the 384 instances of the four nitrogen bases in the 64
codons of messenger RNA and in the 64 anticodons of
transfer RNA. This is the Kabbalistic and Sri Yantra basis for
the DNA molecule. There are 192 blue yods from the top of
the seventh tree down to the Path joining Chesed and
Geburah of the fourth tree and 192 red yods below it. They
denote the 192 instances of the bases in tRNA and mRNA.

of Life have 384 yods other than the endpoint of their shared root edge. They
are the counterpart of the 384 yin/yang lines in the table of 64 hexagrams used
in I Ching, the ancient Chinese system of divination. They are also the
counterpart of the 384 yods in the 43 triangles of the 3-dimensional Sri Yantra.
The six green yods at the centre, top & lowest corners of the two hexagons that
coincide with the positions of Sephiroth correspond to the six yang lines in the
two ‘Heaven’ trigrams of the hexagram in the top left-hand corner of the table
and to the six hexagonal yods in the central triangle that are arranged at the
corners of a hexagon. The two sets of 21 corners of the (6+6) polygons are the
counterpart of the two sets of 21 yin/yang lines in the seven other hexagrams
forming the diagonal of the table and to the centres of the 21 tetractyses in each
half of the Sri Yantra. The (168+168) yods other than corners of polygons are
the counterpart of the (168+168) yin/yang lines in the (28+28) off-diagonal
hexagrams and to the (168+168) yods on the edges of the (21+21) tetractyses.

its three sectors and each sector then turned into a tetractys,
636 hexagonal yods are generated. This is the sum of the
number values of the Godnames of the ten Sephiroth.

the 126 edges of the 42 triangles of the 3-dimensional Sri Yantra
generates the number 3360 — the number of turns in one revolution of
the ten whorls of the E8×E8' heterotic superstring. This demonstrates
how the Sri Yantra and the inner Tree of Life are equivalent
representations of holistic systems like the heterotic superstring. Each
half of the Sri Yantra with 168 yods defines the number (1680) of
circularly polarized oscillations made by all ten closed curves of the
superstring during half of a revolution around its spin axis. The inner
and outer halves of the superstring correspond to the two halves of the
Sri Yantra. They are prescribed by the Godname EHYEH with number
value 21 because 21 triangles in each half surround its central triangle.

polyhedral edge is the side of an internal triangle with a corner at the
centre of the solid. When the sectors in the faces and their internal
triangles are turned into tetractyses, the average number of yods in the
first four Platonic solids is 168. This is how these regular polyhedra,
which the ancient Greeks believed were the shapes of the particles of
the elements Earth, Water, Air & Fire, determine the structural
parameter 168 of the superstrings making up atoms.
The average number of yods in their faces is 137. This is the integer
that approximately determines the magnitude of the fine-structure
constant, which in turn determines some of the properties of atoms.
The first four Platonic solids have 38 faces. Their 120 sectors have 248
vertices & edges. They embody the dimension 248 of the superstring
gauge symmetry group E8.
