In sacred geometry I believe to hide the one (1=13) one requires 12. Best I can do. Ehe? what do you mean, Sid?

To hide it you will need 12 additional table tennis balls. Also: To build a tetrahedron you will need 20 table tennis balls. Make a triangle with the first 10 and build upon the rest. Also in sacred geometry the Queen is a circle containing 6 circles with the 7th in the middle. just more sidbits

The verticle line in heraldry is red, and the horizontal line in heraldry is blue. [...] Not sure of the meaning of the colour purple where the two lines would meet. www.justpride.com/bi_pride2.htm

Ruff, you never fail to astound me!
Sid, in British Freemasonry we refer to the Square as being "An Angle of 90 Degrees or the Forth part of a Circle"

A very different link, Ruff, to say the least Now what exactly am I supposed to do with a "Tom of Finland" Doll? No, on second thoughts, DON'T answer that!

O, Steve, Steve! Get me heart pills!! The laugh I gave you with my Hiram Abiff limerick was the kind you just gave me ;D ;D ;D Now, there was initially a serious point being made here. No, I'm being serious. Hold on. Where was I? Ah, yes... The verticle line in heraldry is red, and the horizontal line in heraldry is blue. [...] Not sure of the meaning of the colour purple where the two lines would meet.And I meant, in the colours of the Bi Pride Flag: the red (pink) is same-sex attraction, the blue opposite-sex attraction, and the purple (or is it violet?) same- and-opposite-sex attraction. In other words, a graphic symbol equivalent in significance to the Classical myth of the bonding of Salmacis and Hermaphroditus. OK? Serious bit over. Tom of Finland doll, you say? Give Barbie a call, if Ken and ActionMan are interested ;D

Now this is strange. I too often think on the Sator Arepo palindromic square and sometimes write it on a piece of paper when I am faced with some puzzle I cannot resolve. Thereafter I will often find a solution in a way I had not previously considered or even in an unorthodox manner. Have written it down and will try it with the problem I am presented with.. I have always thought that on the surface it shows those ancient teachings: As Above - So Below Earth is a mirror image of what we call 'above'. Given this - anyone want to attempt the translation from the mirror image point of view? Maat

...anyone want to attempt the translation from the mirror image point of view?Maat, I don't know if you're familiar with Latin as a language, but a thing difficult and unusual for English speakers to grasp is that the word order in Latin is largely irrelevant to the meaning. puer amat puellam. The boy loves the girl. puellam amat puer. The boy loves the girl. Impossible in English; for, as my Latin master pointed out (and I so often found in real life), the boy loves the girl is not the same as the girl loves the boy

I spent 4 years marching the cohorts over the hills with Ovid and the nuns in latin class. I was quite good at Latin then - I read the Iliad and the Odyssey in record time as a 12 year old - looking for "the good bits". It was only later that I realised there was more than one Ulysses!#*&@! I'm a slow learner. Maat

Maat,
I've not yet tried to read the magic square at the mirror.
In my opinion, however, its feature is that it can be read mostly in any verse, up and down, right-left.
It is therefore a symbol of the circumstance that God pervades everything, or, if you prefer, that everything is pervaded by God (pan-en-theism)
The word uni-versus means turned toward One.

Re: the Magic Square....
it popped into my mind when I was flying high above the earth on my way to the tropics last week (lucky me!) when I was in a kind of reverie...
the first thought that came with it was that I should forget the mirror bit and that it could be used as an illustration of the twist of the DNA strand and the second more startling revelation was that it also is one of the easiest ways to illustrate the fourth dimension in a third dimension world. (Try and think of how a 2nd dimension 'person' would experience a 3-dimensional cone passing through a line....they could only experience two lines moving outwards or inwards). The key to the fourth dimension for us would be in the way that the central letters might be imagined to move.
Thinking about it too long will make you dizzy and give you a headache.
Cheers Maat

Unfortunately I haven't. But it's just a white tile, with these words.
