where does the A C H come in , in relation to a christmas tree?
Could someone explain the background of what this means?
There is something known in the Occult world as "the Pythagorean Tetractys". It is spoken of in Timaeus by Plato,
[ex]
"First of all, he took away one part of the whole [1], and then he separated a second part which was double the first [2], and then he took away a third part which was half as much again as the second and three times as much as the first [3], and then he took a fourth part which was twice as much as the second [4], and a fifth part which was three times the third [9], and a sixth part which was eight times the first [8], and a seventh part which was twenty-seven times the first [27]. After this he filled up the double intervals [i.e. between 1, 2, 4, 8] and the triple [i.e. between 1, 3, 9, 27] cutting off yet other portions from the mixture and placing them in the intervals, so that in each interval there were two kinds of means, the one exceeding and exceeded by equal parts of its extremes [as for example 1, 4/3, 2, in which the mean 4/3 is one-third of 1 more than 1, and one-third of 2 less than 2], the other being that kind of mean which exceeds and is exceeded by an equal number. Where there were intervals of 3/2 and of 4/3 and of 9/8, made by the connecting terms in the former intervals, he filled up all the intervals of 4/3 with the interval of 9/8, leaving a fraction over; and the interval which this fraction expressed was in the ratio of 256 to 243. And thus the whole mixture out of which he cut these portions was all exhausted by him. This entire compound he divided lengthways into two parts, which he joined to one another at the centre like the letter X, and bent them into a circular form, connecting them with themselves and each other at the point opposite to their original meeting-point; and, comprehending them in a uniform revolution upon the same axis, he made the one the outer and the other the inner circle."[/ex]
SourceThe "numbers" of 1,2,4,8 are simply 1*1=1*2=2*2=4*2=8. or 1, 1*2, 2^2, 2^3
The "numbers" of 1,3,9,27 are simply 1=1*3=3*3=9*3=27 or 1, 3, 3^2, 3^3
As shown above, these numbers are placed or "divided lengthwise into two parts" and then placed on an "X", wherein "the Christmas Tree is but the "lower portion", but the masculine component, of the Letter X (see Dan Brown's "Da Vinci Code" for a good representation of this design."
The significance becomes critical to higher level Occult "magic" or "astral working", but on a lay level, the philosophy of number as shown above is simply encoded into the Christmas Tree as follows:

The "1" is "Unity", invisible and containing "the whole" - in truth, this is a misnomer. The O contains the whole, while the 1 is implied within the zero. A "Diameter" and a "Sircumference" (circumference) is the male component of deity in union with the female component of deity (O).



The 2 and the 3 can form a ratio (2:3), but its multiple is 2*3 = 6 and 1+2+3 = 6. Now here is where you must learn of a concept called "The Apperception of the Conceptual". The easiest way to demonstrate this and to truly understand it is to study the Letter B. It's placement is at 2.
A=1
B=2
The Sum of 1:1 = 1 = A
The Sum of 1:2 =
1 + 2 =
3. You know that B is located at position #2, as it is not so difficult to count to 2. A is 1 and B is 2, however, we are using the mathematical FORMULA of 1+2=3 to create the GLYPH of B by simply "borrowing" the
1 and the
[/color][color="#F4A460"]3 to form the Letter
BThe "mathematical equation" of 1+2=3 has simply been "contracted" to form the Letter B. 2B or not 2B? That is the question, for the letter B can be both 2 and 3 at the same time. In this way, we call and use as our archetype the pregnant woman as our "inspiration" in the crafting of the glyph for only "she" can be "2" and "3" (with child) at the same time.
We apply this same structure to all the Letters. That a Letter can be a "2" and a "3" and a "pregnant woman latent with life", or "Isis pregnant with the Baby Horus", or any number of significators becomes known as a "sephiroth", for just as surely as there is a path from 2:3, so too is there a path from 2:pregant woman latent with life:B. One sequence can be viewed as "moving linearly", or in a rational and timed (counted) sequence, while a second path bores "horizontally and vertically". Hence with every number and with every letter we hold them as if in a "sphere", and we are able to move along the X axis, the Y axis, and in specially skilled and advanced practitioners of the Craft, along Z axis as well.
However, the goal is to enable "you" to see the "fundementals", not to worry about the complexity of the reality presented.
An example of this linear (X) axis is to use the Letter D. D is located at number 4. 1+2+3+4 = 10. The 1 and the O are "contracted" to form the glyph of "D". To aid you, you are reminded that you can get your "Vitamin D" from "the Sun", for it is too the "Y axis" archetypical crafting that places D as the Sun as it comes up on the HORIZON as shown...

NOW we have another word. HORIZON. It is crafted as follows:
H = The Greek Letter
ORIZ = ZIRO = ZERO
ON = ONe
The word HORIZON is a code that says, H, the Greek Letter Pi, (H) is comprised of the O (ORIZ) and the ONe) -
HORIZON.

Now perhaps we can return to the Letter H.
The Pythagorean Tetractys is our "Christmas Tree" formed against the X as follows:
1*1 is 1 and The Sum of 1:1(A) is 1 is A
2*3 is 6 and The Sum of 1:3 is 6 is
4*9 is 36 and The Sum of 1:8(H) is 36 os (H)
H is "PI" in that is "sum" is 36 which is a "fractal" of the Circle (360 degrees). When calculated as an "octave", the Letter A is 1 while H would be "the Octave", or the "beginning of the circle" should the notes be set in a circle set against harmonics.
So the Christmas Tree has "two" primary "invokations" upon which mankind "gives gifts".
PI as a process of the 1/6/36 = A/C/H and
LIFe as a proces of the base having a value of 1296, wherein the Letters are
L = 12
I = 9
F = 6
E=0
12,960 Years (the word LIFE) is the diameter in time of the Earth's wobble on its axis.
So gifts are given to Pi and Life...

Essentially, yes. This is known as "peeling away the Onion" or seeking after the refined nature of the word. The story is told in the tale of Isis and Dictys...
