'Merkabah' is an ancient Hebrew word for 'chariot'.
It is recognised today as a word for a 'vehicle of light' .....very
loosely, it is another way to describe our 'Light Being.'  The
Merkabah is based on a three dimensional Star of David or Star
Tetrahedron. This structure of two interlocking tetrahedral, is within
the Flower of Life.....a sacred geometrical pattern or matrix, from
which everything is created. The Flower of Life is the 'word' from
which 'The Source' or God created everything in the Universe. When one
begins to delve into the realms of Sacred Geometry, the chapter of
'Genesis' in the Bible actually becomes a scientific thesis explaining
the creation of everything. This can link up with areas currently
being researched by Quantum Physicists, who are on the brink of
uniting physics with what is the basis of all Spiritual philosophies.
There is a geometrical energy field surrounding every atom, flower,
animal, tree, human, planet and galaxy.....everything.
The Star Tetrahedron is a predominant geometric structure surrounding
and permeating our being. The tip of the upper tetrahedron structure,
which is masculine energy, extends up to about six inches (15 cm)
above our head. The wide base extends down to around our knees. The
tip of the lower tetrahedron, feminine energy, extends down to about
six inches (15 cm) below our feet. The wide base extends up to around
our chest or heart area. For males, a point of the  upper tetrahedron
faces front, for women, a flat side faces front. With the lower
tetrahedron, for males, a flat side faces the front, for women, a
point faces the front.
This Star Tetrahedron around and within us has become distorted and
powerless resulting from our illusory experience in this third
dimension. Awakening to the existence of this beautiful structure
surrounding us, can accentuate our conscious spiritual journey and
lead us to whatever can most assist us in the restoration and re-
activation of our Merkabah.
I recommend that all who read this,  study the following books and
delve more fully into this subject matter. 'The Keys of Enoch....James
J. Hurtak,' and 'The Flower of Life books....Drunvalo Melchizedek.'
There are a specific set of 'Seventeen Breaths' to awaken, restore and
re-activate the Merkabah. These breaths involve hand positions,
visualizations, specific breathing techniques, and most important of
all, an inner state of unconditional love for all. There is an
eighteenth breathe involved, which completes the re-activation, where
the Merkabah becomes a 'vehicle of light' around us.......not unlike a
flying saucer in shape and function. This breathing is a powerful way
of practicing present moment awareness, where resides the truth of our
Being, our Higher Self, our God Self, Higher Consciousness, the State
of Grace, the Holy Spirit, or whatever our particular term may be for
the Almighty and Infinite Source of All. The eighteenth breath occurs
only when we have fully 'awakened' to that unconditional love state of
Being of our Higher Self.
