The Merkabah is a sacred geometry symbol representing the union of light, spirit, and body that appears in both Jewish and New Age mystical traditions. Its complex history and symbolism have been interpreted differently across cultures and eras.

Etymology and meaning

The word “Merkaba” is recognized by scholars as having Hebrew origins, though it has been co-opted into New Age spirituality with an Egyptian linguistic breakdown.

Hebrew origin: In Judaism, the term Merkavah literally means “chariot” and refers to the divine throne-chariot of God as described in the prophetic visions of Ezekiel. It is the focus of an early school of Jewish contemplative mysticism (c. 100 BCE–1000 CE) called Merkabah mysticism.
New Age interpretation: Within modern esoteric teachings, the term is interpreted as having Egyptian roots: Mer (light), Ka (spirit), and Ba (body). This translates to a “vehicle of light” that unites the body and spirit. This interpretation is not supported by scholarly etymology.
Merkaba in sacred geometry

In spiritual and New Age contexts, the Merkaba is visualized as a star tetrahedron.

Star tetrahedron: This three-dimensional, eight-pointed star is formed from two interlocking tetrahedrons, which are pyramids with four triangular faces.
Masculine and feminine energy: One tetrahedron points upward, symbolizing masculine energy (spirit and the universe), while the other points downward, representing feminine energy (the physical body and Earth). The intersection of these geometric forms creates a balanced energy field.
Resemblance to the Star of David: The two-dimensional outline of the star tetrahedron resembles the Star of David. While the two symbols are visually similar, the Star of David, or Magen David, has a separate origin and significance within Judaism, primarily becoming a recognized Jewish symbol in the Middle Ages.
Merkaba in spiritual practice

The Merkaba is believed to be a powerful tool for healing, protection, and spiritual growth, primarily through meditation.

Your heart is the key that decides whether your inner world becomes heaven or hell.
Look closely: the word heart is an anagram of earth, showing you that your emotions are the very ground upon which your reality is built.
When the heart is aligned with higher truths, it lifts the mind into heaven, a state of creativity, light, and clarity. But when the heart is consumed by fear, lust, or bitterness, it drags the body into the lower realms-hell, a state of survival, chaos, and suffering. The heart sits between these two poles, the upper heavens of the head and the lower fires of the gut. It is the balance point, the sacred middle ground. Whatever vibration your heart chooses-love or fear, harmony or conflict-that is the reality your mind will imagine and your body will manifest. Thus, heaven and hell are not distant places, but conditions of your being, determined by the soil of your heart.

"Third Eye Exercise" using an optical illusion to help in focusing and potentially stimulate the third eye, often associated with the pineal gland and intuition in spiritual practices.

Performing the Exercise:

Observe the Two Circles: Begin by looking at the two distinct, overlapping sets of concentric circles in the image.

Focus to Create a Third Circle: Gently cross your eyes slightly or adjust your focus until the two inner sets of circles appear to merge and form a third, central set of circles in the middle where they overlap. This fulfills the "2 becomes 3" instruction.

Refine Focus to Unify: Continue to refine your focus on this newly formed central circle. The goal is to perceive it as a single, unified entity, embodying the instruction "and 3 becomes 1".

Purpose and Interpretation:
This exercise utilizes a specific type of optical illusion to train your focus and concentration, which are key aspects of many spiritual and meditative practices aimed at "opening the third eye". The concept of the "third eye" is often linked to the pineal gland and is believed to be the center of intuition, insight, and higher consciousness.

By focusing intently on the illusion and achieving the prescribed visual shifts, practitioners aim to:
Enhance Concentration: The exercise demands sustained focus, a fundamental skill for meditation and mindfulness.

Stimulate the Pineal Gland: In some traditions, specific focusing techniques are believed to activate or stimulate the pineal gland, which is seen as the physical counterpart to the third eye.

Awaken Intuition and Inner Vision: The visual transformation in the exercise is a metaphor for a shift in perception, encouraging the awakening of inner insight and intuitive abilities.
