(a.k.a. the “white” book)
Kenneth Reitz, n: a garden–variety self–referential loop. Not available for purchase. Made in USA.
The Symbol
The self–reflecting twin snakes Ida & Pingala, in eternal dance. Their monadic unification is derived from the rod of Hermes (a.k.a. Thoth, Enoch, Idris, &c — a key figure in ancient Kemet).
This image is then placed upon what is known as Metatron’s Cube — which is the simplest geometric expression of all known forms of the Platonic solids.
Note that the snakes cross paths in 7 different places —an eternal, recursive, and self–referential pattern.
The Meaning
μετά (meta, prefix): a concept that is an abstraction behind another concept, used to complete or add to the latter.
e.g. Metadata. Metamorphosis. Meditation. Metallic. Medication. Mediation. Medical. Metaphysics.
