The invisible geometries of
the cathedrals
The
first "invisible message" from the Cathedrals is given
by the invisible geometries of their pediment. It sketches the Sephirothic
Tree (the Tree of Life) inherited from the Hebrew
cosmogony. And all those who considered it a heresy ended up
being their most loyal guardians.
The "invisible
message" of the great Masons has survived to the apparent
death of the Order which had risen from the ruins of the
Jerusalem Temple.
The project of the Great
Work was revealed and re-veiled on the Cathedrals’
pediment. This was reproduced in the allegory of a Tree (the four
elements) whose roots drive in the sky (fire element),
whose trunk reaches down (air element), with its branches
(water element) touching the ground (earth element).
