DC Mall As Tree Of Life?

The fundamental graphic symbol of the Kabbalah is the Tree of Life, which is an arrangement of 10 points or spheres (sepheroth), linked by 22 paths, with the whole figure said to represent the body of Adam Kadmon, the Universal Macrocosm. The 22 paths correspond to the 22 Hebrew letters (se Psalm 119) and the 22 Tarot Trump Cards.

At least two people (or groups) have suggested that the DC planners intended for the Mall, which connects the Capitol Building in the east to the Lincoln Memorial in the west, to serve as a depiction of the Tree of Life. One version puts the crown in the west, while the other puts it in the east. We begin with the former.

The Big Picture

This is an edited "cut and paste" from a site dramatically entitled: FORMER SATANIST INFORMS US THAT GOVERNMENT MALL IN WASHINGTON, D.C., WAS ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED AS A SATANIC SEPHIROTH TREE OF LIFE!

Subtitle:  In NEWS1040, we reported that the street layout between the White House and the Capitol was laid out in Satanic symbols; now, we are informed of the Big Picture: the entire Government Mall is laid out in the Satanic symbol, the Sephiroth Tree of Life!

In NEWS1040, we broke the story that the street layout connecting the White House with the Capitol was originally laid out by Masonic architect, L'Enfant in 1792, so that the streets formed the evil Goats Head of Mendes Pentagram encompassing the White House -- plus the Masonic Compass, Square, and Rule from the White House to the Capitol.

As we stated in this original article, the occultist believes that symbols reverberate with inherent power from the moment they are created, power that is made even more effective since only the Adepts of Satanic societies and covens know the truth.

[Note that 1) not everyone characterize the Kabbalah as Satanic; it is merely Jewish Mysticism, 2) these people were NOT the ones who "broke the story" about the masonic symbols, as Ed Decker had published a book about it in 1992, 3) there is no evidence that Pierre L'Enfant was a Mason, and 4) the pentagram symbolozes much more than the Evil Goat's Head.]

The site continues:

When you compare this Sephiroth Tree of Life (below left), to The Mall overhead view, (below right), you will see that this former Satanist was correct when he told us that the inspiration for The Mall was the Sephiroth Tree of Life. 

     

The Tree of Life is also depicted a little differently when it is shown in the figure of Adam, the first man (below); as you can see, this depiction does not have the left and right points in a perfectly straight line as depicted on the left.  The Mall design is clearly the Adam Tree of Life.

Even though Mackey in the left illustration (above) depicts the left and right points in a vertical straight line, he is clearly relating the entire image to Adam, the man, with the shaped left and right points, as we noted.

Thus, we can see that The Mall was drawn to represent the Adam depiction of the Sephiroth Tree of Life, the Archetypal Man; This is the reason the points on each side of The Mall are sloped, not in a vertical line.

You should note that someone has taken liberties with this Adam Kadmon version of the Tree. First of all, Splender and Firmness (as they are labeled above) belong at the hips, not at the thighs (that is, above the Foundation), just as Justice and Mercy belong at the shoulders, and not off in space, since the idea is to correlate the spheres of the tree to the human form here.

When they say that "this depiction does not have the left and right points in a perfectly straight line as depicted on the left" (meaning the Mackey image), they are admitting their ignorance of what is going on in the AK image. I repeat; the purpose of the image is to correlate the tree spheres with the human body, so the four points of the shoulders and hips make a rectangle around the heart at the center (Beauty). That's just the facts. the attempt to map the AK image to the map fails as illogical, since their premise is wrong.

Next we look at the supposed placement of the sepheroth in the Mall Tree. I have enlarged the image and added numbers to the image below. Qutoing from the site again:

When you look at The Mall overview, you can identify the major points of the Sephiroth:

1.  Lincoln Memorial is the top position, the Crown

2.  The circular formation to the immediate left forms the Male position, Intelligence

3.  The circular formation to the immediate right forms the Female position, Wisdom

4.  The Jefferson Memorial on the left forms the position, Justice

5.  The White House on the right forms the position, Mercy

6.  The Washington Obelisk monument forms the position, Beauty.

7.  The rectangular formation on the straight diagonal line running from the Jefferson Memorial to the Capitol forms the position, Splendor

8.  The oval formation on the straight diagonal line running from the White House to the Capital forms the position, Firmness

9.  The rectangular formation in front of the Capitol forms the position, Foundation

10. The Capitol Building forms the position, Kingdom

Please be aware that 1) in the Kabbalah, the numbering of the sephera moves first to the right (see image below), so that this depiction is backwards, 2) to be authentic, 4,5, 7 and 8 should form a rectangle, and 3) 6 should be a lot lower; where the diagonals of that rectangle cross. The above image shows 4, 5 and 6 in a line.

Note, as well, that this image actually only features 5 "real" elements, the White House, Wash Mmt, the Jeff Mml, the Lincoln Mml, and the Capitol; the other 5 spheres are circular or round plazas in the proposed roadways.

Anyway you look at it, the AK image above is clearly indicating the sex organs with the sphere named Foundation. One would think that evil/satanic/masons would put some kind of phallis imagery there in their version of the tree; wouldn't you? These people point to a rectangular formation in front of the Capitol as that location. How much sense does that make?

The Capital Building as Kether

The following is taken from a web site that features a sample chapter from a recently published book entitled "DaVinci in America". Here he is suggesting a tree form that is the reverse from what we see above.

"In (their book) "Talisman", Hancock and Bauval also raise the possibility that the street-plan of Washington D.C. incorporates the Kabbalistic 'Tree of Life' symbol. They see the Capitol building as the 'head' of the esoteric symbol (designated as 'Kether'), with the Tree of Life unfolding to the west. One of the major landmarks which they see sitting within this symbol, at a point corresponding to the Kabbalistic sephirah of 'Tipheret', is the gigantic obelisk of the Washington Monument."

Note that the top of the Tree is the Crown, not the head, since all three of the top sephera are located in the head. Kether is the Crown, not the head.

I welcome you to try and find elements in the DC map that correlate to the other 8 sephera; I couldn't do it. Clearly, this is another attempt by someone unfamiliar with both the Kabbalah and the Tree of Life to impress others with even less knowledge of the subject.
