Orientation

The view from the west shows the Occident with Jerusalem at its center, with vistas of the Far East shown near the horizon.
It is abundant with historical, alchemical, cabalistic and personal myth symbolism of "The Quest for Reunion".
The symmetrical composition of this painting is based on the underlying (abstract) structure of the “Tree of Life". The Crown of the Merkavah is the tetragram Y-H-W-H, descending into the luminous orb of the "Mastermind”, which is formed around of the active male Mover (Metatron). His body is contained in the Countenance of his female aspect (Shekhinah).
Her Eyes lift His Wings of Perception.
Three joined figures symbolizing the three religions that have their spiritual cradle in Jerusalem, rise from the nether part of the Mastermind.
They emerge purified from the DNA helix, which is the propeller of the Merkavah, whose central section is the Heart (Tif'eret) - the "Temple". The Temple is envisioned here as a multi- dimensional cube that changes it's depth according to the focus of the observer. It contains many cells of light in which the ascending Higher Selves of the pilgrims purify themselves and thus the collective DNA. The light rays that are emitted from the cells of the Temple are pulling the lost tribes towards Jerusalem for Reunion.
