Here is the rework of the God Code thread below that I ended up publishing in my book Oracle of the Phoenix www.oracleofthephoenix.com

Building Blocks of the New Earth

The deeper look into the Jesus story revealed an alternative to linear time in which events or shadows or incarnations of events and archetypes peacefully coexist. This multiplicity in reference to Jesus was suggested by both The Aquarian Gospel and the work of the entity Seth. Seth also led to concepts of multiple selves in multiple realities. Such a possibility gives the ego revolutionary concepts to wrestle with. To continue to delve into the meanings or interpretations of the signs and symbols of the Phoenix Lights, it is useful to revisit an idea we glossed quickly over earlier.

In order to fully examine the messianic or redeemer archetype that has recurred in reference to the Phoenix Lights, we will revisit Gregg Braden and his groundbreaking book The God Code. Using Kabbalah’s Gematria system in much the same way I have, Braden discovered that one could decipher a hidden message coded in our DNA. This message – in Hebrew – says, “God the Eternal – In the Body.” While his work stands on its own, Braden has said that his message is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of possible messages embedded in our DNA. In a recent TV interview Braden said, “I’ll leave it to others to figure out what those messages are.” Based on Braden’s invitation I’ll do my best to expand on his work, taking it a couple of steps further. In order to do so we’ll revisit the basic observations Braden outlined in The God Code. In addition, we’ll explore some principles of Gematria and the creation of the world as outlined in one of Judaism’s oldest texts The Sepher Yetzirah, said to have been written by Abraham himself.

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The Sepher Yetzirah or The Book of Creation, tells us that there are three Mother letters that have associations to the elements; shin (fire), mem (water) and aleph (air). The element of earth is not named as a Mother letter because it is assumed that earth emerges out of the three elements connoted by the Mother letters.

Along with the three Mother letters, the Hebrew alphabet has seven double letters and twelve elemental letters equaling 22 total letters. In addition to the letters, there are the 10 Sephirot or energy centers of the Tree of Life discussed earlier, which together with the letters, create 32 paths of Wisdom. The 33 degrees of Freemasonry represent similar concepts to the paths of wisdom, just as the 22 major arcana of tarot decks represent concepts similar to the Hebrew letters. Kabbalah is a direct source of the Tarot images whose meanings reflect much of the secret mystical meanings behind each letter.

The double letters are altered by the addition of a dot within the letter, which modifies the sound and meaning of the letter. Each double letter has two possible configurations with the dot or not. The letter bet meaning house contains the dot within the letter showing the spirit (the dot) housed within. When the dot is removed the letter becomes vet, although Hebrew is rarely shown with vowels or dots in and out of letters except in prayer books. The Torah itself is entirely absent of vowels. Many different words can be interpreted from the same letter combinations. A simple difference in pronunciation changes the meaning. Non-native Hebrew speakers usually have to refer to another source of the Torah text in order to determine the correct pronunciation for certain words.

The 12 elemental letters play a large role in comprising the earth matter of material existence in combination with the Mother letters. Elemental/Elements are the makings of our universe. The Sepher Yetzirah begins it’s text with a poetic declaration of how things began.

With 32 mystical paths of Wisdom
Engraved Yah
The Lord of Hosts
The God of Israel
The living God
King of the universe
El Shaddai
Merciful and Gracious
High and Exalted
Dwelling in eternity
Whose name is Holy –
He is lofty and holy –
And he created His universe with three books (Sepharim),
With text (Sepher)
With number (Sephar)
And with communication (Sippur).
Sepher Yetzirah 1: 1

And in 1:12
Four: Fire from Water
With it He engraved and carved
The Throne of Glory
Serafim, Ophanim, and holy Chayot
And Ministering angels
From these three [Mother letters] he founded His dwelling.
Sepher Yetzirah 1:12 [Brackets mine]

It is explained that the three Mother letters in all of their combinations and permutations are able to “become earth.” We are also confronted with Ezekiel’s wheels and chariot very early on in The Book of Creation. The Sepher Yetzirah in fact demonstrates that each association we’ve uncovered in the Phoenix Lights sighting is represented in this chapter and verse. The Throne of Glory, the Serafim, Ophanim and Chariot. The Throne we attributed to the rotated view of the “man in the desert” formed by the Estrella Mountains, The Serafim means “burning,” the Ophanim means “wheels,” and the Chariot is the description of combinations of these fiery wheels flying in a winged formation.

We’re also told that the three Mother letters will create his dwelling – earth itself. This is significant as we try to understand how the images we’ve uncovered were created in the first place. We are told He engraved it and carved it himself.

Chapter 2 Verse 2 tells us:
Twenty-two Foundation letters:
He engraved them, He carved them.
He permuted them. He weighed them.
And with them, He depicted all that was formed
And all that would be formed.
Sepher Yetzirah, 2:2

This is where Braden’s body of work is outstanding. We talked earlier about the dimensions of Noah’s Ark being described in cubits. In my Kabbalah seminar I joked that what we were being told the measurements really were Q bits as in Quantum Bits. Of course most people react to this theory with, “Come on, the people who wrote the Bible didn’t have a clue about quantum physics or how to tie a shoe at that point.” Well I think readers might be a little more open minded given the narrative so far.

Quantum is defined as:
quan•tum (kwŏn'təm)
n., pl. -ta (-tə).
1. A quantity or amount.
2. A specified portion.
3. Something that can be counted or measured.
4. Physics.
a. The smallest amount of a physical quantity that can exist independently, especially a discrete quantity of electromagnetic radiation.
b. This amount of energy regarded as a unit.
adj. Relating to or based upon quantum mechanics.

Gematria itself implies that each letter of the Hebrew alphabet has its own mystical signature based on the numerical value of the letter or its Sephar as The Sepher Yetzirah tells us. Verse 2:2 above says “He weighed them” so we are instructed that each letter not only has a value but it has a weight. The next conclusion is that the Elemental letters themselves that form our world must have an association with the elements we’ve scientifically proven make up our world. Braden proves this is indeed the case. The next step is to figure out which Elemental letters correspond to which scientifically known elements.

The Sepher Yetzirah goes on to help us solve that particular equation in 1:13.

He chose three letters
From among the Elementals
(in the mystery of the three Mothers Aleph, Mem, Shin)
And he set them in His great Name and with them, He sealed six
extremities.
Sepher Yetzirah 1:13

The chosen letters are yud, hey and vav. Since it is explained that He picks his name from the Elementals we deduce the letters are yud, hey and vav – the first available letters that are neither Mother nor double letters. The letters fall in this order because yud has a Gematria value of 10, the sum of the first four letters 1+2+3+4=10 and then reduced to 1, which normally would have been aleph but cannot be used because it is a Mother letter and not an Elemental. Bet, gimel and dalet, which are numbers 2, 3 and 4, are all double letters. Hey comes next because it is an Elemental, its value is 5 and then vav because its Gematria is 6. The “sealing” of the 6 “extremities” relates to the six directions in our three-dimensional world: up, down, east, west, north and south.

The next section gives us pause as we are presented with what seems to be a riddle of the ages that our Phoenix Lights may very well be aiming to solve.
Three Mothers, Aleph, Mem, Shin
A great mystical secret
Covered and sealed with six rings
And from them are born Fathers,
And from the Fathers, descendents
Sepher Yetzirah 3:2

Here’s what we’ve learned so far: There are three dimensions created using the elemental letters of YHV in all its variations (the six directions/extremities/rings). The six rings refer to the upper six Sephirot. The four lower Sephirot of the Tree of Life – Malchut, Yesod, Netzach and Hod are the three-dimensional Sephirot we use to normally function in our everyday world. The six upper Sephirot or rings of Tipheret, Gevurah, Chesed, Binah, Chochmah and Keter relate to higher principles and dimensions outside or beyond our limited three-dimensional worldview – the realm of the great mystical secret.

We also know that three base elements can create the entire universe: fire, water and air. This is shin, mem and aleph – the Mother letters. What we don’t know is how the fourth element of earth is created. Braden literally uses the instructions given in The Sepher Yetzirah to solve the riddle of how earth is formed from the three elements.

The first thing Braden does is refer to the Periodic Table of Elements Chart, which tells us a whole lot about the Element/Elemental letters.

Next he asks some interesting questions about the makeup of our known elements of fire, water and air. The first question is what is the predominant element in our periodic table that represents the highest percentage of the raw material within its makeup? For fire, Braden looked at the sun and found the highest concentration of hydrogen (H). For water oxygen (O) and for air it turned out to be nitrogen (N).

Next Braden looked back at the text of Sepher Yetzirah which talked about weighing the elements. He looked at the atomic weight of each predominant element, rounded them down to whole numbers and came up with the following: hydrogen=1, nitrogen=14 reduced to 5 and oxygen=15 reduced to 6. This is because there are no Hebrew letters with the value of 15 so again we round down by adding the 1 to the 5 to come up with 6. We round down because we are dealing with quantum bits, which always looks for the “smallest value that can exist independently” as our scientist friends have defined it for us.

Braden then went back to Gematria looking for the letters that matched the atomic weights. For hydrogen or 1 it would normally be aleph but since aleph is a Mother letter, and we can only choose from the Elementals, it has to be yud the first Elemental letter that reduces to 1. For nitrogen the letter hey is 5 and for oxygen the letter is vav or 6. Yud hey vav are the equivalent Elemental letters to the elements that make up the fire, water and air of our universe!

What happens next is that by combining the weight of these elements we can come up with another number that should get us to earth. Hydrogen 1 + nitrogen 5 + oxygen 6 = 12. There is only one element the Periodic Table with the atomic weight of 12, carbon (C), which also happens to be the most predominant element found on and in earth. Together, these are the four elements that form the base of our DNA structure.

Because there is no Hebrew letter matching the value 12 (carbon) Braden adds 1+2 to get 3 giving us the Hebrew letter gimel, which has a value of 3. The formula for our DNA is YHVG (hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and carbon). This is where Braden and I diverge.

Braden goes on to demonstrate how the first two letters YH actual spell out the God name Yah and how we contain this God name in our DNA. He displays how the remaining letters VG can be interpreted as GV meaning “within the body.” He also shows how the Arabic and Aramaic languages are exactly the same in terms of the first three letters so the same message would appear in those two ancient languages as well.

My interpretation differs from Braden in that I break the gimel down further into its smallest individual parts. Let’s revisit the riddle:

Three Mothers, Aleph, Mem, Shin
A great mystical secret
Covered and sealed with six rings
And from them are born Fathers,
And from the Fathers, descendents
Sepher Yetzirah 3:2

“From them are born Fathers and from the Fathers, descendents.” If you break gimel down to the two letters that make it up you get alpeh (1) and bet (2) which equal the value of gimel (3) – it is also another way of breaking the 12 out from our original carbon element. In Hebrew, Arabic and Aramaic, these two letters combined spell Abba, which means father in all three languages. From the Arabic father we have the Arab descendants and from the Hebrew father we have the Hebrew descendents but they share the basic building blocks of DNA, which are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and phosphorus – wait phosphorus – where is that accounted for? I know there is a relationship phosphorus has with nitrogen in the DNA but Braden doesn’t address this element in his book at all. I also know phosphorus represents a very small portion of the makeup of DNA but considering this element’s unique connection with light addressing it is all the more important. I think failing to address this leftover part of DNA unnecessarily tests the credibility of this “God in DNA” thesis.

If the three Mother letters (air, fire and water) create earth, then why couldn’t a fifth element be created out of the four, and create another descendant out of God’s name. Perhaps the four-letter name of God is directly related to the Fourth World or the Age of Pisces out of which our world is now shifting. A five-letter descendant’s name relates directly to the emerging Fifth World or Age of Aquarius. Perhaps this is part of the great mystical secret in The Sepher Yetzirah.

Following Braden’s methodology I looked up the atomic weight of phosphorus. Its atomic weight is 30, equal to the Elemental Hebrew letter – lamed. My intuition was telling me that lamed is the key to the Hopi Fifth World transition particularly considering the mystical meaning of lamed; “a heart of a wise man ascending to comprehend the wisdom of God.” In addition I saw a connection between phosphorus being the light-bearer and lamed meaning to teach. Lucifer is also known as the morning star, and the Bible refers to Lucifer in many places as the precursor for the new age. While Lucifer has been demonized in some religious world views, many other groups recognize the value of wisdom learned through trial and error.

The next step of this method is determining where to place the newly discovered lamed accurately in the descendant’s name. The question is where in the name should we place it? Part of the answer is given in text of the Bible where God tells Moses that his name will be YHVH forever. The word forever begins with a lamed. Based on this, the lamed should be placed at the beginning of YHVH, which now gives us the word LYHVH or LOVE in English. The unpronounceable tetragrammaton becomes the simple expression of what everyone would expect God’s descendant’s name to be.

Interestingly enough the Hebrew word for love is Ohev, which is another way of saying YHVH by ascribing an O sound to the Y. Amazing as it may seem Arabic’s word for love is Hob or Hov. The same is true for Aramaic, and when we add the lamed to all of these variations the word then becomes “to love” as lamed means in each of these three ancient languages – love changes into its verb form to love in the Middle Eastern languages!

What does this change suggest about the beginning of the Fourth World when all over the planet God was referred to as either El (L) or YHVH? To me this demonstrates that the Fourth World was a deliberate split in consciousness between the right and left brains, male and female, thinking and feeling. This lesson of the Fourth World involved overcoming duality to reclaim our own wholeness and reconnection with God. In Kabbalah we’re taught that Love is the child of wisdom and understanding, which are associated with both YHVH and EL and their heavenly Sephirot Binah and Chochmah as it resides in the middle pillar between them.

Taking a step back, we still need to solve the transformation of our DNA – coded with the gimel – YHVG (god within the body) into LYHVH (Love). This is where an understanding of Kabbalah and Alchemy (the ancient art of transmutation) are handy. Standing in between the letter gimel (3) and the letter hey (5) is the letter dalet (4). Dalet means door in Hebrew. Dalet also means selflessness, so once the gimel within man walks through this particular door, he can claim his descendant status through developing the light potential found in his carbon makeup – just like a diamond manifests out of coal, he manifests his crystallized (Christed) consciousness. Gimel by the way means “rich man” as rich with judgment against others. It also means “camel.” Another riddle is solved when we contemplate the riddle – it is easier for camel to walk through the eye of a needle (doorway of dalet) then it is for a rich man to find the Kingdom of God.
