The SACRAL KNOT is a ancient symbol that represents the two energy channels that merge at the sixth chakra during the kundalini process. These two energy channels, the ida nadi and pingala nadi, represent the energetic duality in man. The knot (or loop) represents the pineal gland that is activated during this ‘sacred marriage‘.

The (sacral) KNOT OF ISIS can be seen as a ribbon, with loop or knot, around the head or around the body, but can also refer to the specific way in which the dress of Isis is knotted in the iconography (see below).

Throughout the ages there have always been initiates, artists and mystics who knew that Jesus was not born as ‘the Son of God’, but had experienced a kundalini awakening, after which he was one with his Divine Father. The gospel writers have hidden this spiritual truth in their texts in inventive ways, including the use of imagery and wordplay (see my books). Because of the rigid attitude of the church, the truth could not be spoken aloud, but underground, through esoteric groups such as the Freemasons, it found its way onto the canvas.

THE SIGN OF THE SACRED MARRIAGE (two fingers together: 2=1) is incorporated in many paintings, in one form or another, often in combination with other esoteric symbolism. This hand gesture refers to a fusion of the polar energies/duality, and with this to a process of kundalini awakening.
