A
Different Perspective – As Below, So Above.
The nature
of the perceived is relative to the position of the perceiver. Whereas the traditional Tree of Life
represents pathways on mankind’s spiritual journeys, the Suturian Tree of Life
represents pathways on the gods’ spiritual journeys. The gods, being above mankind in relation to
Paradox, see the Tree of Life differently from humans, and thus, the Suturian
Tree of Life follows different rules.
This changes several things.
In
Suturian philosophy, there are Four Archetypes of the Tree of Life.
Archetype
A. Tree of Life (TOL) (Absolute Order within Order)
Archetype B. Tree of Knowledge (TOK)(Absolute Chaos within
Chaos)
Archetype
C. Qliphothic Tree of Life
(QTOL)(Relative Order within Chaos)
Archetype
D. Qliphothic Tree of Knowledge
(QTOK)(Relative Chaos within Order)
Since this
is a book about color theory and how one can utilize color theory to understand
Paradox, the colors applied throughout the Four Archetypes do not represent
alchemical interplay, they are the alchemical interplay. I listened to the colors and laid them out as
they wanted to be arranged.
Mimicking
the Suturian color wheel for the Order Hemisphere, each Sephirah is represented
by a primary color of order light or chaos light.
I began
with what I knew from science. I applied
Earth’s visible light spectrum (Order in Order) along the right hand path so
that the corresponding colors are in descending order from Chokmah, closest to
Paradox (cosmic rays); to Netzach, closest to earth (radio waves). Next, I applied the colors for Chaos in Order
in ascending order from Hod to Binah, along the left hand path. Thus, order light is on the right, chaos
light is on the left, and the secondary colors are along the paths.
Along the
middle pillar, there are three colors on the Tree of Life that are not represented
on the Suturian color wheels thus far:
Daath, Tiphareth, and Yesod. I
made the color Daath by combining equal parts of Kether White, Chokmah Blue,
and Binah Cyan (33% each). I made
Tiphareth by combining equal parts of C, M, Y, & R,G,B. (12.5% each,
rounded up to 13% each). I made the
color Yesod by combing equal parts of Malkuth black, Hod yellow, and Netzach
Red (33% each).
Once I had
conceptualized the Tree of Life, I manipulated the Tree of Life, flipping it
vertically and inverting the colors, until the dominate color bar Order in
Order on the Tree of Life matched the look of the dominate color bar on each
subsequent tree. For example, the
dominate color bar on the Tree of Knowledge is Chaos in Chaos. I manipulated the Tree of Life until the
Order in Order color bar looked like the Chaos in Chaos color bar. Once this happened, I knew that this was the
Tree of Knowledge.
