The Most Powerful Star

“Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night”…

A star amongst the stars, a luminous body adorning the heavens, filling the sky with light; the true icon of the night, ironically, the most powerful one is not a sun but an interpretation of our vision, reducing a complex image to a more digestible one.
Think of a glass cube in its two-dimensional form that is used as a reminder  of the power of God and its people.
The Hexagram, a symbol used as a “hex” and a curse against the ones who oppose the will of its people. 
This so called box, is used to represent god’s power to “see-through”  the enemy or seeing true in the enemy. 
While the star is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible nor the talmud, it is important to mention that The Talmud in Pesachim 117b uses the phrase “Shield of David” as an epithet for God of Israel, not to be confused with God of Azrael (the angel of death), while later mystical  and kabbalistics traditions adopted the hexagram shape; it was used as a decorative motif not a specific jewish religious symbol until the Middle Ages.

Do you see a box or a star? Do you see a prison or protection?

Many servants of justice use a six pointed star as their official badge, even though it is not a universal standard, seen this symbol is associated with the power of the cube, the power that someone holds to put you literally in a box.

Historically, the physical caretaking and keyholding of the Kaaba (a 15 meter-high, cube-shaped, structure considered the house of Allah) originally built by Abraham and his son Ishmael, has been the hereditary responsibility, of the Bani Shaiba tribe while the SHARIF of Mecca held a broader political and protective role over the cities.
The SHARIF of Mecca was historically charged with protecting the cities of Mecca and Medina and ensuring the safety of pilgrims during the Hajj.

In Islamic Pilgrimage the ritual of circling the Kaaba is known as tawaf. It involves walking around the Kaaba, the most sacred site in Islam, exactly seven times in a counter-clockwise direction.
In the same way SATURN (Father Time) features a persistent giant hexagonal cloud pattern around its North Pole that spins also counterclockwise.

When we think of a box that is protected and cared for, our logic hints towards the notion  that the outmost important content  is contained  within, that is  why the protection for our heart is called  CHEST. Our “Dragons” give “Fire” to our “Hard”; meaning that our lungs (long:  means dragon in Japanese and Chinese languages) give air  (there is no fire without air) to our heart  (it is called heart because is the HARDest working muscle in our body)
Based on our beliefs, Do we open the Chest to know there is a heart inside? Or do we not protect it instead? Can we not hear it?
The ark of the covenant contains the voice of the Hardest worker, the one who created the world. It contains the two stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments.
Opening the arc of the covenant is the equivalent of tearing its chest open to see its heart even though we can hear it.
