3 - Hilma af Klint & Not Really Chasing (Article)

Altar I — The Sun Multiplies 

The obsession with unity and chasing the sun is misplaced. Hilma af Klint’s altar paintings are misunderstood.

Have you checked out my numerology article? Have you checked out my Galileo write-up?

Orbit recap is necessary for this one.

Numbers, colors, consciousness:

1. Root — red — the seed of being.

2. Sacral — orange — nurtures the seed (or not); represents the external.

3. Solar plexus — yellow — what happens between 1 and 2: the system, the relationship, the forming of identity.

4. Heart — green — stabilization, order, the first structure.

5. Throat — blue — independence, voice.

6. Third eye — indigo — harmonization, the second identity.

7. Crown — violet — the energetic pinnacle.

8. Aura / light body — gold — manifestation, power, octave, source light.

Galileo write-up:

He looked through his telescope and saw that Earth didn’t own the spotlight.

The Pope got offended. The Church’s ego was bruised. So they blinded him.

 

Today, I’ll be decoding the altars and turning things a bit upside down.

When the world accepted that planets orbit the sun, the theme shifted into “chasing the sun.”

As humanity, we’re programmed to chase it.

In fact, when people look at Altar I, many probably assumed the colorful pyramid was trying to access the sun—like a ladder of consciousness.

Here’s my take:

We’re not chasing unity. Life isn’t a journey toward becoming one again.

Life is recognizing that we are unity, expressing itself in parts.

Life is about learning to play, to plug into your own personal sun—learning how to be an individual in your own terms, and enjoying the sun’s choice to journey into multiplicity.

Let’s break down what we see in this altar:

The sun — gold — 8 — source power.

Green circle around it — 4 — stabilization.

Purple circle around it — 7 — the energetic pinnacle.

Green is made up of blue (5, independence) + yellow (3, solar plexus).

It seems to me that this green circle is the first instinct of the sun’s reproduction process — deciding to stabilize (4) within independence (5) and a system of identity (3).

Then, the purple ring is formed — purple (7), the energetic pinnacle.

Purple is made up of red + blue (root + independence).

This is the stage where the sun gets ready to root itself in independent identity — multiplicity.

7 is the radiant emanation that makes the sun’s intelligence visible in parts.

This is how prismatic rays emanate from a single source.

We begin with 8 (power source), stabilize with green (4), and prepare to reproduce and emanate with 7.

The color-number-consciousness tags are not hierarchical.

No number is lesser.

The sun doesn’t lose power or divinity by becoming many.

And beings that evolve into different elements of consciousness do not lack unity—they are unity, experienced.

Now let’s move into the pyramid itself:

We see an energy-consciousness pyramid.

Left side: red (1, root), orange (2, sacral), yellow (3, solar).

Right side: violet (7, crown), indigo (6, third eye), blue (5, throat).

These color-coded layers are used in both the chakra system and in human psyche to express inner evolution.

When humans meditate and centralize in their core, these colors activate — their heart’s magnetic field opens.

This is observable in neurocardiology and electrophysiology.

When humans aren’t under threat, their nervous system shows more coherent rhythm patterns.

These patterns create inner fullness and joy.

As detailed in my numerology article, these layers of consciousness - labeled using colors and numbers - make up our entire internal being.

The upright pyramid’s role in this altar is the initiation of different consciousness levels and experiences - compartmentalizing themselves in a new form.

The left field is recognized as the warmer, solar tones - sense of self, root, external world, sacral, and emerging identity through the solar plexus.

These are connected to the right field - independence (throat), harmonization (third eye), and the crown - the origin memory.

These elements are bridged through golden manifestation fields - attaching the two polarities.

These qualities are embedded in the source of all consciousness - whether the being remembers or not.

Activation of the crown (7) is the remembrance.

The pyramid is a rich experience of life that ultimately brings you to the sun experience not by climbing upward, but by fully expressing all parts of the spectrum.

When colors are acknowledged, the light reveals itself.

                                                             

Altar 2: The sun’s initiation into multiplicity from it’s singular form

Then, in Altar 2, we’re seeing a black reverse pyramid in a receptor role, surrounded by red. The sun is initiating itself in symbolic energy radiance into the black pyramid womb. Both red and black are considered root colors—black as the pre-form, the void, the absorbent womb—similar to the dark field of possibilities where existence, as light, experiments with its forms, positions, and mysteries.

Red, on the other hand, is the flesh - ready to initiate, not to absorb, but to stimulate.

In this painting, the black pyramid womb opens its vessels of possibility fields to the sun’s experience, and the red root stimulates it, ensuring it doesn’t remain inert or merely potential, but instead becomes activated. It ‘kineticizes’ the power.

This altar reveals how existence took form, the process of descent from potential wish to the expression of wish fulfillment.

Altar 3: The Actualization of the Sun’s Plan

Now looking at Altar 3, we see the sun (solo this time) circled with black. Around it, yellow (3: solar plexus) appears on the left, and blue (5: throat independence) on the right. Below, reds and dark reds—tones that look like red mixed with black appear in both bottom corners. These represent root energies: red (1) as the flesh and black as the womb/void.

In the central region, green (4) appears again—the stabilizer born from the integration of yellow (3) and blue (5).

This altar is the embodied proof of the formula I proposed in Altar 1.

The green field (4) here is the stabilized expression of solar identity (3) and throat independence (5). Their mix -green- holds the entire circular composition in balance.

What’s especially important is the presence of red and blue in the lower corners (1 and 5), which together form purple (7: crown). Even though it’s not shown directly, the presence of those components suggests the emanation of crown consciousness, the intention to multiply into distinct identities.

We also see that the sun, having entered the void in Altar 2, has now fully manifested its plan in this third altar.

Now, at the center of the sun, there is a layered sacred geometry in which the final inner circle is purple.

Crown? Yes, we found it.

Sacred Geometry Inside the Sun

This layered symbol is known in esoteric traditions as a multi-tiered creation emblem. (the repeated image of the symbol shown)

Here’s what each element symbolizes:

Circle: Eternity, unity, formless state.

Triangle: Ether—representing the trinity of creation.

In the triangle diagram I drew:

Right corner: 3 (Energy)

Left corner: 6 (Correspondence)

Top: 9 (Mentalism)

These correspond to deeper esoteric laws I’ll explain in the next write-up.

This triangle also maps:

Mind – Body – Soul

Spirit – Matter – Energy

Circle inside triangle: Spirit within ether. Potential energy being shaped.

Repeated layers: Recursive creation. A fractal emergence.

Each layer within holds the pattern of the last—reflecting the principle:

As above, so below.


The Purple Center & What It Means

The final, innermost purple circle:

Crown chakra.

The sun’s divine intelligence—the very layer that prepped the sun’s multiplication in Altar 1.

The core of every individuated being.

It shows that the encoded source remains within every created form.

This altar reveals that manifestation doesn’t discard the source but carries it.

The full trace of source geometry lives within every being.

Every being multiplied by the sun’s radiance carries the original spiral of light, will, and intelligence.

In Conclusion

This altar is the actualization of Altar 1’s plan and Altar 2’s initiation. The sun did not lose itself in multiplicity. It simply nested itself in layers, in forms that now hold its full trace, encoded in spirit, energy, color, and structure.
