CUBE SYMBOLISM AND ANCIENT WISDOM
by Bruce Johnson

© Bruce Johnson. Reprinted – Shining Lotus Metaphysical Bookstore Newsletter, June 2011.
A cube or hexahedron is a square in three dimensions with each face equal in size. The New Jerusalem that allegorically descends from heaven in the Book of Revelation is a cube of approximately 1400 miles in length, width, and height. Islam’s holy mosque in Mecca contains the Caaba, which is based on the double cube. Esoterically, the cube is a symbol of the regenerated and perfected soul, living in a state of permanence.
The ancients often symbolized the logical rational mind of man as a cube, in contrast to the spirit, signified by a sphere. The cube is one of the five perfect solids of Plato and Pythagoras, along with the tetrahedron, octahedron, icosahedron, and dodecahedron. It corresponds to the number four, the body and the earth element, and is symbolic of matter, stability, solidity, and truth, which is eternal and unchanging. Cube symbolism is also found of the Tarot, contained in the Emperor, Chariot, and Justice Cards. The Devil Card displays a half- cube, representing imperfection, imbalance, and excessive materialism.
The cube was frequently used as a pattern in ancient times for many types of buildings, including temples of all kinds, and was often the foundation stone of the structure. The six faces of the cube when unfolded form a Latin cross. Numerous altars and temples around the world were based on the cube and/or the Latin cross, including the famous Temple of Solomon.
The crystal system of different elements, minerals, and gems, are not surprisingly, built on the cube. Halite (salt), fluorite, pyrite, garnet, lapis lazuli, spinel, and diamond are all based on the cubic crystal system. Many of the metals with the densest specific gravity are based on the cube. This group includes copper, silver, gold, platinum, and lead.
Although not known for religious structures founded on the cube, Larimer Square in Denver does have restored buildings of Civil War vintage that are architecturally interesting to see.
The book – The Continuum Encyclopedia of Symbols, edited by Udo Becker, is a good book for the student of symbology, along with – A Dictionary of Symbols, by J.E. Cirlot.

NIKOLA TESLA' 3-6-9 METHOD AND 1
by Bob Romero
I wrote an article about Nikola Tesla’s 3-6-9 Method for manifestation. It’s based on his famous quote “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe”. It’s based on the mathematical sequence of taking a cell and doubling it and then taking the digital root of each number.
1 = 1
2 = 2
4 = 4
8 = 8
16 =1+6 = 7
32 = 3+2 = 5
64 = 6+4 = 10, 1+0 = 1
128 = 1+2+8 = 11, 1+1 = 2
256 = 2+5+6 = 13, 1+3 = 4
512 = 5+1+2 = 8
1024 = 1+0+2+4 = 7
2048 = 2+0+4+8 = 14, 1+4 = 5
and so on.
You can see that the sequence of 1,2,4,8,7,5 will continue to repeat infinitely and the numbers of 3,6 and 9 are missing. The numbers 3,6 and 9 and are also found throughout time and space like there are 60 seconds in a 1 minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 3600 seconds in an hour, a clock will have 12 hours on it and there are 24 hours in a day. All the digital roots will resolve to 3,6 or 9. Also, there are 360 degrees in circle which resolves to 9 and then by continually taking half, you get 180, 90, 45, 22.5 and it always resolves to 9. Another interesting aspect is that if you add up the numbers from 1 through 8, 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8, you get 36 which resolves to 9. So, 9 is said to contain all of the single digits.
Then it occurred to me that what if you take the digital root on the running sums.
1
2+1 = 3
3+2+1 = 6
4+3+2+1 = 10, 1+0 = 1
5+4+3+2+1 = 15, 1+5 = 6
6+5+4+3+2+1 = 21, 2+1 = 3
7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 28, 2+8 = 10, 1+0 =1
8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 36, 3+6 =9
9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1 = 45, 4+5 =9
Since we know the prior sum, I’m just going to add it to the next number and keep going.
10+45 = 55, 5+5 = 10, 1+0 = 1
11+55 = 66, 6+6 = 12, 1+2 = 3
12+66 = 78, 7+8 = 15, 1+5 = 6
13+78 = 91, 9+1 = 10, 1+0 = 1
14+91 = 105, 1+0+5 = 15, 1+5 = 6
15+105 = 120, 1+2+0 = 3
16 +120 = 136, 1+3+6 = 10, 1+0 = 1
17+136 = 153, 1+5+3 = 9
18+153 = 171, 1+7+1 = 9
You can see that after every nine numbers, the sequence of 1,3,6,1,6,3,1,9,9 keeps repeating. Notice that the 3,6 and 9 occur twice, and 1 occurs three times. The number 1 is at the beginning of each triplet with 3 and 6 reversing and then 9 is repeated. The other thing is that the sum of each triplet resolves to 1. So perhaps the number 1 also plays a key role in the universe. Maybe it signifies the Holy Trinity with three persons in one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. That also goes for the Hindu Holy Trinity, known as the Trimurti, which are three supreme deities, Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Preserver, and Shiva the Destroyer, that are three different forms of the same God. Or perhaps it denotes the oneness with the universe and everyone in it including God.
Nikola once said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” That’s how a lot of manifestation techniques came about using 3, 6 and 9. We know that sound uses energy, frequency and vibration and maybe that’s why tuning forks and Tibetan singing bowls have been used for healing and manifestation.
It occurred to me that the sound of your voice saying a mantra uses energy, frequency and vibration. So, you become one with energy, frequency, and vibration by chanting a mantra like “OM” (pronounced AUM) and using a mala for healing and manifestation. You can write down your intention and hold it in one hand on your lap while using a mala which has 108 beads and that number which resolves to 9. A mala is in 1 circle. Curiously, my pedicurist who is a practicing Buddhist, gave me a mala for Christmas. You could also just repeat the intention using the mala. Either way you are putting the intention out unto the universe. This process could also be used for distance healing as well. I usually write “May the name of the person be healed on all levels” as my intention. Make sure that you disconnect and detach afterwards as what’s done with all remote healing.
Saying a rosary also uses energy, frequency and vibration. A rosary has 54 interior beads in 1 circle and 54 resolves to 9. Also, 54 x 2 = 108. I witnessed my mother have great success with a rosary. She would state her intention, and then say a rosary and most often, her intention would come true. Sometimes my mother would light a candle and say a rosary. Lighting a candle is another method of manifestation or distance healing. This can be done by writing your intention and burning it and placing the ashes under the candle. Lighting a candle can be incorporated with a mala or a rosary and thus enhancing the intension.
We can find these spiritual tools by just doing the math or exploring science and nature. The other lesson here is don’t underestimate the power of the number 1 or the power of yourself.

PISCES THE FISHES in 2026
by Roy Neal

February 18 to March 20
The Sun enters the zodiac sign of Pisces on Wednesday, February 18th. Pisces is a water sign ruled by Neptune. The glyph of Pisces is two fish swimming in opposite directions connected by a silver cord. Pisces is a mutable and changeable dual sign. There is tension between the two fish. They may wind up taking turns deciding which direction they will choose to go in.
The opposite sign to Pisces is Virgo. In order to find the balance between the opposites, the Pisces soul will need to go through a process of elimination. Letting go of energies and experiences that do not contribute to their overall health and well-being will allow them to ultimately choose a path that is guided by their faith in a benevolent higher power that has their best interest at heart. Some form of prayer, meditation and spiritual practice will assist them in this regard.
The Pisces soul can be a source of inspiration and help to others; they can be good musicians, artists and counselors. When they are in service to the intuition and guidance of their spiritual nature they can help others and also themselves.
Pisces’ most popular Energetic Healing and Spiritual Power Gemstones
Blue Lace Agate, Turritella Agate, Amethyst, Aquamarine, Fluorite, Kambaba Stone, Larimar, Lepidolite, Petalite, Blue Tourmaline
