This is a 3 dimensional symbol that describes more
fully counter opposing triadic relationships. This
description is an evolutionary step beyond "The Star
of David" but uses the same analogy of subtractive
color theory used in that description. Indeed the
"Star of David" description can be seen by looking
down upon this figure.

You can imagine two nested tetrahedrons inscribed within
a sphere, one pointed up, the other down. This is
analogous to the triangles inscribed within a circle in
the "Star of David".

The tetrahedron pointing up represents unifying
harmonies. The top point, white-opened; and the base
points: green-truth, violet-love, orange-understanding.
The addition of white creates tints of colors, used by
painters to create "hi key" paintings which exhibit an
uplifting mood. The upward pointing orientation
symbolizes the direction it takes you and it is the most
stable tetrahedron formed with the point up. Four
different triads are present on its faces which form
strong harmonies that promote unity: opened-love-truth,
opened-love-understanding, opened-truth-understanding,
and truth-love-understanding.

The tetrahedron pointing down represents separating
harmonies. The bottom point, black-closed; and the base
points: red-deceit, yellow-fear, blue-ignorance. The
addition of black creates tones of colors, used by
painters to create "low key" paintings which exhibit a
depressing mood. The downward pointing orientation
symbolizes the direction it takes you and it is the most
unstable tetrahedron formed with the point down. Four
different triads are present on its faces which form
strong harmonies that promote separation:
closed-fear-deceit, closed-fear-ignorance,
closed-deceit-ignorance, and deceit-fear-ignorance.

These two tetrahedrons are nested together as the
"Star Tetrahedron of David" in such a way that the color
points 180 degrees apart on the sphere are complementary.
Black and White correspond to Bottom and Top points.
Looking down upon this, the Black and White mix to form
Gray in the center, and the 6 other points form the
"Star of David" with Violet polar opposite to Yellow,
Blue opposite Orange, and Red opposite to Green.

The eight points on the sphere can be divided into two
hemispheres, one representing light-cool-peaceful colors,
and the other dark-warm-angry colors.

There are many possible choices of color combinations with
which to paint life with. The symbolism of this figure makes
clear some of the strong triadic harmonies that are possible.

I dedicate this to David Wilcock whom is the
symbol's namesake.
