From the Adventures of Jacob Genesis 28:10-17
Jacob leaves Be’er-shiva and heads for Haran
From Be’er-Shiva, the well of the seven infinite depths
To Haran, the land of auspiciousness
Taking one of the stones (power-letter symbols) of that place
He puts it under his head and dreams of a ladder
A stairway going from earth to heaven
Suddenly, Yah (God) stands beside him speaking
If we meditate on any one of the ancient runes, those early Hebrew letter symbols, we too will come to see the pathway uniting earth and heaven, which is also along our own spine, our tree of life, seven chakras (centers of consciousness) and ten sefirot (infinite depths). In the Ajna chakra, at the third eye center, where Hokhmah and Binah meet, (Revelation and Comprehension), we're blessed with a personal vision of God. Beyond that – at the crown -- is just the oneness, Diamond Consciousness, the Thousand-Petaled Lotus.
I give this place to you and your descendents
Spread out west, east, north and south
Remember I’m with you and protecting you
We are both Jacob and Jacob’s descendents.
God’s timeless gift to us we remember now:
This very place and this very moment is the gate of awakening
Transcendence, from dust and water babies into our fullness:
Everything and everyone are we; this realization is the blessing
Now take it wherever you go –
Up, Down, West, East, North and South
Jacob awakens and declares:
Surely God (Yah) is in this place and I didn’t realize it
How awesome. This is the abode of God
And gateway to heaven
Seven infinite depths, seven double letter symbols:
Up and Down, East and West, North and South
And precisely in the center: a Holy Palace of Light
Yes indeed, spread out in all directions
