These days, I’m working on creating a Metadron’s cube which is a shape that contains all the molecular shapes combined together. This is a very complex model, including many shapes one inside the other and will be about 20cm large. I want to create a few of these and place them in different places in the world because this shape is known to have very strong influences on its surroundings.

The Crystal red shrimp is a freshwater shrimp from the genus Caridina. The crystal red shrimp is a red color variation of the bee shrimp from China and Hong Kong.  It was selectively bred from the bee shrimp by Mr. HISAYASU SUZUKI In 1996.
Here is my shrimp hatchery for you  - Enjoy!!!

The design of these earrings is inspired by ancient jewelry and the use of gold thread weaving in the east. The gemstones are Tsavorite Garnet and they have a unique brilliant green color.

I made the Palm tree earrings originally for my mother but decided to make them available for others as well…

In about a week there will be new designs I made available on the website.You already had a sneak peak at the models that won the previous contests and at the Star of David mandala and the Key of Elijah. This one is the Egyptian Lotus flower ring and I would love to get your comments on it! 

The Lotus flower is a symbol of the sun, of creation and rebirth, because at night the flower closes and sinks underwater, and at dawn it rises and opens again. According to one creation myth, it was a giant lotus which first rose out of the watery chaos in the beginning of time.

In the East, the Lotus flower is viewed as a symbol of spiritual enfoldment. The lotus has its roots in earthly mud, but as it grows upward in aspiration toward the light, its petals open out into a beautiful flower. Om Mani Padme Hum, meaning, “Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus” is the sacred mantra of the Tibetans.

Untouched by the impurity, lotus symbolizes the purity of heart and mind. The lotus flower represents long life, health, honor and good luck.

The Egyptian Lotus flower symbol that appears on the ring, was called Sesen in the Egyptian language.

I want to take this chance to offer a “cosmic” perspective to all that is happening in our world, especially here in the Middle East. Living in Israel, I’m afraid one has to deal with hard situations not everyone in the world has to deal with. This is a region in constant turmoil, manifesting itself in wars, killing, harming others and all that is around and all – in the name of god.
Taking the ‘cosmic’ perspective means understanding our real place in the universe, how small this planet really is in comparison to all that exists, how unimportant we are…
This movie says it all so clearly and beautifully… Dedicated to Carl Sagan an American astronomer and astrobiologist who, amongst other things, co-wrote the TV show “Cosmos – a personal voyage”.

A Mandala is an Asian religious decoration made with geometrical elements. In Tibet, monks make very complex and beautiful mandalas from colored sand. They work on them for weeks and sweep them off to show the impermanence of all things in life and that there is no importance in getting attached to things.

The Star of David appears in the Asian cultures as part of the Sacred Geometry. This pendant is based on a Tibetan Mandala that I have seen and has the Star of David in its center.

The winning model for May- June contest winner is “Tombola” Designed by Javier Hernandez.
Javier’s description for the model is:
“Eternal motion of the physical and spiritual realms.
The inverted axis on each circle represents that life’s eternal motion is never random. Nothing happens by accident. Life’s events are filled with purpose. There lies the meaning of life. “

Javier will receive an implementation of the model in gold 14k (5 in silver).

Congratulations Javier!!!

“(1) Jesus saw infants being suckled.
(2) He said to his disciples: “These little ones being suckled are like those who enter the kingdom.”
(3) They said to him: “Then will we enter the kingdom as little ones?”
(4) Jesus said to them: “When you make the two into one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside and the above like the below –
(5) That is, to make the male and the female into a single one, so that the male will not be male and the female will not be female –
(6) and when you make eyes instead of an eye and a hand instead of a hand and a foot instead of a foot, an image instead of an image, (7) then you will enter [the kingdom].”

Taken from the Nag Hammedi scriptures, the gospel according to Thomas.

The Nag Hammedi scriptures are ancient writings found in Egypt in 1945 and they contain the gospel according to Thomas, said to be Jesus’ closest apostle.  They contain many quotes from lectures Jesus had made for his followers.
In this quote, Jesus explains how the perception of reality is actually something that the man reflects from his inside. The real truth is inside each and every one of us and so the more one is aware that all is one he has better control of reality. One can then be more aware to the processes around him and understand them. Only by turning the inside out and the outside in - we could “enter the kingdom” – have the key for redemption.
This idea repeats itself in most known religions including Taoism and Buddhism. Much like the idea that we should not get attached to things as all things are impermanent also mentioned in the scriptures. I express these ideas in many of my works such as the Mobius ring, The Gordian knot and God’s word pendants showing the idea of turning the inside out and outside in and even the Four winds ring carrying the phrase “The further one travels the less one knows” – because the truth is inside us. 

“(3) Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and outside of you.”
(4) “When you come to know yourselves, then you will be known,
and you will realize that you are the children of the living Father.
(5) But if you do not come to know yourselves, then you exist in poverty, and you are poverty.”
Taken from the Nag Hammedi scriptures, the gospel according to Thomas.

(Creating the labyrinth from its key)

This labyrinth is an ancient symbol and can be found in many places in the world. Spiritually, this labyrinth symbols the growth and development of men: All the cells in the human body are renewed once every 7 years; the Seed of life (made of 7 circles) is a symbol for the 7 days of creation; the Torus tube contains a mathematical formula for the 7 colors and more. The seven stages of the labyrinth represent the stages in spiritual development as well as the 7 chakras and energetic centers of our bodies.

The ancient riddle is actually – “How to get out of this labyrinth?”

When we take the key to creating the labyrinth and turn it inside out and outside in (as said Jesus) we find wholeness. This is the only way to get out of the labyrinth.
This square with a perfect circle inside and a dot in the center is the symbol of gold in Alchemy. This symbol is actually the basis for all geometry as it contains all the basic shapes. It also stands for the highest spiritual level a man can achieve.
 
(The key to the labyrinth turned inside out)

This symbol is the way to create the Vesica pisces – the beginning of the creation, the basis for the universe. Continuation of this creates the Seed of life, then the Flower of life and on to all that was created and exists. Once a person reaches this spiritual level he is one with the universe.
