And each of these 3 great crosses "is" one of the three Gunas, manifesting out from the Brahma-point in the 4 "elements" of Earth, Air, Fire and Water -- or seen another way, with a triangle at the top, triangle at bottom, and a great circle or hexagon around the middle, the three "elements" of Fire (one triangle, of red, yellow and blue), Air (the opposing triangle of orange, green, and violet), and Water/Earth (the intermediary equator or great circle of red- orange, orange-yellow, yellow-green, green-blue, blue-violet, and violet-red). Seen from above, this 3-D interlaced triangles-and- great hexagon flattens nicely to map onto a standard 2-D Zodiac wheel. I find all of this stuff fascinating, but it would be a lot clearer with a 3-D model or at least some illustrations, so I'll quit now. Better late than never. :-) Again, whether we see any of this stuff at all or not doesn't really matter in the slightest -- as a very wise friend has reminded me, MMY once said, we are all on a train to the same great destination; some of us look out the windows and some don't. So I think if we simply relax and pay attention to what's in front of us, it's God/dess smiling out through some mask or other -- the one we most need to see in this moment -- and yet another mirror of ourSelf.
