Hidden in a secret book of cosmology, written in the ancient Hebrew tongue, long forgotten but not lost by mankind, is a description of a mysterious cube formed from the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. This cube of letters is constructed of a center, three interior dimensions, six faces, and twelve edges. These twenty-two components form the cube, and also reveal a map that clearly shows where we have come from, where we are now, and where we are going in our evolutionary journey toward complete spiritual awakening. In New Dimensions for the Cube of Space, David Allen Hulse explains that this cube of letters cannot reveal its deepest secrets until it is clothed in the cards of the tarot, creating a map of the cosmos referred to as the Cube of Space.
Then, and only then, can this mystical cube speak directly to our souls and show us the way, or the true path of initiation we all must eventually travel. He presents a fascinating description of how he attained his insights along with a clear exposition of the Cube of Space as a path of initiation. Hulse illustrates his insights using the original B.O.T.A. tarot deck, designed by Paul Foster Case. The clear and simple imagery of this deck is very helpful for understanding every nuance of the symbolic material in the story of the soul's journey around the six faces of the cube.
However, the popular Waite deck, or any other Tarot deck can be used in studying the Cube of Space. Included is the material needed for the construction of a model of the Cube of Space and Hulse recommends that the reader assemble this model, as it will greatly facilitate a clear understanding of the symbolic meaning behind each of the of the twenty-two directions of space delineated by the cube. Includes a color insert for construction of your own Cube!
Brilliant exposition of the connection between tarot, 3D geometry, the initiatory and soul's journey and Qabala. Includes a section that looks at various mystical traditions. Very juicy, enlivening, deep and vital. Adds to any understanding of tarot, even if there is no desire to continue further with the Cube itself.
Highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Tarot, Qabala, and the Cube of Space. Seriously amazing. Of all the books Ive read, this'll be read more than once. Read it!
Should be required reading for everyone to understand how the inner and outer realms of the universe works. It answers so many questions that religion can’t. It also shows how everything is connected based on correspondences. Get your copy now and buy copies for others. If you want to wake up to Truth then this book is for you. I think the last few chapters should have been put in the beginning of the book to give the background of the origin of the cube and knowledge.
Not quite what I was expecting. This title is the author's perspective on the journey of the soul on the Cube of Space. Using the 22 Tarot Trump cards as portals or guideposts on the journey. It is a very quick read, so I recommend it for those studying the Cube of Space as long as you include other sources.
