The temple

Well it is quite easy to say; build the temple! But then the quick of wit would ask; how?

One religious building that kind of qualifies as extraordinary beautiful and stunning is the Hagia Sofia. The main church of the Byzantine empire.

The quality of that building, apart from being beautiful is the fact that it is build with the inspiration of the books of Plato, each part of the church is made according to a platonic book.

In this way, the church represents and conveys spiritual ideas of the highest order.

Add to this it was built in a very short time, not like the Catholic cathedrals that are made over hundreds of years.

However this is not a church, it’s a Jewish temple, and we are talking about a building that has to outshine all other religious buildings. So it’s a tall order.

So how do we do that?

First of all, one way to be inspired is to look at the builder of the second temple; King Solomon.

He was a king of an extreme wisdom AND spiritual powers of the highest order. Not as powerful as Moses, but he was powerful, at least to my knowledge. He, single-handedly founded Jewish mystical praxis in relation to angles. Pretty wise guy.

A lot of what he did with the second temple was based on sacred geometry, so that is a thing we need to think about.

Sacred geometry has been an inspiration in the Sagrada familia, the cathedral of Barcelona, where it has inspired the architect to make a whole new way of making pillars, it is really quite astounding.

But, in the Talmud, there are a lot of rules that goes for the temple. These we have to discuss as well. Here the leading scholars must present their views before we can commence the building. And it HAS to be incorporated into the building. I know that there are a lot of rules, but these has to be respected 110% they are given from g-d.

So I need to do some more research into what Solomon did. He was inspired by the Phoenicians, and I believe, that the tree of life, has some kind of connection to the Phoenicians, at least there is a very clear resemblance between the temple of Tyre, the capital of the Phoenicians (the Lebanese) and the temple of Solomon. We were taught a lot of things from the Phoenicians. They were very wise in many areas. They made the alphabet, among many other things.

So, there is a lot of issues we have ponder. Knowing the force of pondering within the religious communities, we can just as well get started and pondering. It is the single greatest task given to the communities in a hundred generations, so we can just as well get started.

I need to get a deeper insight into Solomon and his ways, to respect the second temple.

He was the greatest Jewish builder, we need to respect that. We also need an architect that can juggle all the info and requirements. That is going to be a pretty good architect. What an honor, by the way.

This is going to take some time. But everything else has been done more or less. So this is the next thing on the list.

G-d bless the will to make the third temple. May Israel prevail.
