InnerWheels: a few things you should know. Please note that Innerwheels.blogpot is not in any wasy affiliated with BibleWheel.com

First, draw out the 12 tribes, and then the 22 letters within.

Last time I introduced the InnerWheels in InnerWheels: a few things you should know, I stated that the letters could be arranged in “rays” that project from the letter OX, and line up with the 12 Tribes to form 12 rays.

If you look carefully, you will also notice that the 22 letters also create three inner circles which fit inside of the circle of the 12 Tribes

I like to call these circles rings. Too many wheels here.

So next, you can mark out the three inner rings. These rings include the letters BETH through MARK.

OX is not included in the rings, but is rather the axis of the wheels.

Because what can anyone do without strength to survive?

Energy (n) : a fundamental entity of nature that is transferred between parts of a system in the production of physical change within the system and usually regarded as the capacity for doing work (merriam-webster.com/dictionary/energy)

Do you see that second ring outward, starting from the center OX?

I have highlighted this particular ring below in blue...

You can divide it into upper and lower halves.

Notice how the BEHOLD, NAIL and HAND and all the letters in the top half of the ring?

BEHOLD, NAIL and HAND are HEY, VAV and YOD in the Hebrew language.

Transliterated in English, the three letters would be H, W, and Y

...the only three letters one needs to spell the YHWH's holy name.

InnerWheels - A few things you should know

Every color has a meaning. Every number a letter

Inner Wheels is based on the names of the 12 Tribes of Israel, the Hebrew aleph-bet, the Additive Color spectrum (red, yellow and blue are not the primary colors our eyes use!)

But first, let's learn a few terms, to help you follow along. Feel free to ask me any questions:

I call this chart the Inner Wheels, because it has three concentric circles, plus one stationary place at its center.

I have named this site, 4InnerWheels after it.

_____________________________________

Key:

REUBEN (Bold and all caps)- Name of Tribe of Israel

OX (Italics and all caps)- Letter of Hebrew alphabet

Goals - Tribe category 

[Edit: I'll be nuking this key in a few posts - It just doesn't flow for me. Letters from now on are in all caps.]

_____________________________________

The most basic rule of the chart is this: 1 is the biggest number of all. Everything just gets lesser.

We've all learned that 1 is greater than zero, 2 is greater than 1, 3 than 2 and so forth.

Leave this at at the door for now - the lower the number, the higher the rank.

Here is a thought experiment to explain the reasoning behind this:

Suppose you had whole set of 24 basketball players at your command.

You ask them to play against each other, 12 on 12.

One team works together to score points.

The team of 12 players is each checking his email or trying to be his own leader

Who would win?

The Bible speaks about spirits in command of a human event, not the amount of dirt under command. Quite often, the war that was won was not decided by the size of the army, but whether the only True God was with the army. After that, the the number of soldiers did not matter. If you are divided, then you are weak - it is as simple as this - and the whole world - that includes the parties which you stand against - will be ready to break apart.

Fewer leaders means a stronger team. At least they are are not divided. Strength not only comes in numbers. but numbers and unity.

But with the InnerWheels chart, we just want unity.

Here are some of the basics parts the InnerWheels chart...

First, on the edge of the chart is the Outer Ring. This ring contains the names of the Twelve tribes of Israel in order of birth, goings in a circle of twelve places. GAD should be directly underneath (or across from) REUBEN.

This Inner Wheels chart has more parts to this. They should flow in the same direction of the birth order of tribes in the outer ring.

On this Web blog, all parts of the chart will travel counter-clockwise (the opposite direction that a regular clock hand ticks). You can do this clockwise, but I prefer counter-clockwise, since it coincides with the direction of Hebrew writing, at least from the top.

The important thing is that the rest of the chart needs to follow the same direction that you give to the tribes. So whichever direction you choose, stick with it.

The names of the twelve tribes of Israel should be translate so they will be easy to use.

Any Bible/Torah with the full book of Genesis will give you a rough translation of what the fathers of the tribes' names mean. Just read what their mothers had to say at the times of their births!

Now we go on to the letters.

Inside (but not touching) the ring of tribes will be the 22 letters of the Hebrew Aleph-bet, in an non-arbitrary spiral outwards, starting at the center. The first letter will be OX (ALEPH).

The next three letters after OX surround OX in a triangle - BET - GIMEL - DALET. Here. you see that I used the literal meanings for the letters - which can be found at amerisoftinc.com and other places on the web. Translated, these letters mean "HOUSE - CAMEL - DOOR", respectively.



The next six letters form a six-point hexagon around the triangle and the "OX :at the center. I used "BEHOLD" to represent the fifth letter, which is "HEY" on this chart. Other place on the web may translate this fifth letter to mean "window" instead.

The next twelve letters form a 12-point path around the hexagon, the triangle and the center "OX".

The Last letter used on this chart is "MARK" ("TAV"). Sofit letters are not used here. (...don't worry if you don't know what a sofit is - those are just a final form for some of the letters when used in writing - they're like capital letters in English, but at the end...)

The final result should be a 12 point ring on the outside, with the letters inside forming a "12-bump" mass in the middle.



There should also be three prominent rays of letters projecting from the center OX point.



The Twelve tribes in the Outer Ring, when placed correctly, should also categorize each of the letters (except OX), into distinct rays under each tribe. Some tribes will have 3 letters in their ray. Some tribes will have two letters. Some tribes will have only one letter underneath the tribes.

...

The twelve tribes create 12 categories of letter (without OX). These twelve tribes can also be subdivided into three categories.

The way that these three categories are derived will be explained in a later post. For now, just follow along and notice which tribe each letter is falls under.

Tribe Categories

There are three categories of tribes. These are Goals, Links and Interactions.

Goals

SEE A SON (REUBEN), VINDICATED (DAN) and REWARD (ISSICHAR) are the three tribes in the Goals category. This is the biggest category...because it has the most number of letters. These are the three prominent 60 degree rays that you see in the chart projecting from OX.

SEE A SON = to generate a thing that was not existing before

HOUSE: any system of being (like a family, a house or person.) Any two things that stick together, regardless of the means, make a house. It could be a chemical bond, physical, gravitational, social, emotional, familial, legal it doesn't matter. A bond is a bond. "A house divided against itself will not stand" (Mark 3:23-26)

BEHOLD: to lack self-restraint (whether for good or ill) The result can be anything, depending on the the stuff that was bound together. It could be children, it could be the sunlight reflecting from a car on a sunny day. It doesn't matter.

PALM: Self-Restraint

You see how there are three letters under the SEE A SON.

As I have said earlier, first things always have dominance.

All the things in the universe are made of parts. Anything that can be seen now, must be made of unseeable parts.

Expression is natural, and is usualle unreetrained unless the expressor has some reason to restrain itself. So, to be release something thing from the self (BEHOLD) is the prerequisite expressing self-restraint (PALM)

Do you notice how the rank of the letters travels outward from the center of the chart, from OX outwards towards the edge of the chart?

VINDICATED = to support, or establish something that already exists.

The difference between Vindicated and Behold is that behold is directionless production. Vindicated is direction based production.

Level 2 - Camel: The Camel represents any thing that it supposed to to work for something else. Camel is under the Tribe of Vindicated, which is also translated to Judge. We decide whether a thing should be vindicated or judged based upon the rules or law that we make for them. The only reason that we make laws and rules is because the ones who must follow the rules are cogs, or parts, of a larger system - a system which has a greater, expected result, expected by the law giver...

Level 3 - Sword: to cut off. If the member of society does not obey the the result oriented rules, it maybe cut off from it's source or the entire syetem. Now, Sword does not neccesarily mean death or an exceution. Sword could also mean being cut off from the society (improsonment) or having one's privaledges taken away.

Level 4 - Support: If the law-abiding member of society continues to follow the result-oriented laws, he/she/it should expect to have its existance withing the system supported.

The difference between Vindicated and Behold is that behold is directionless projection. Vindicated is direction-based production. If you exist, then your existence was effortless. You must make an effort to conceal yourself. But if you are a factory, you must watch everything you do. You must make sure you are not taking actions to cut off your production. Behaviors that damage our abilities to produce are easier to make, than productive ones. This is why the "destructive" letter under SEE A SON is palm, and it sits three letters removed from OX while the destructive letter under VINDICATED is weapon, but it is only two letters removed from the OX.

Shamlessnes is default - and making mistakes that do not benefit us are also default as well.

Beautiful, ain't it?

Reward = The opportunity - to receive some consequence or a useful result from something else.

Level 2 - Door: This is penetration. One cannot enter a closed-off room without changing the room...Think about it. Once the barrier has been opened and crossed, there are one of two things that can happen:

Level 3 - Snake: The enzymes of many venomous snakes works in an interesting way: the enzymes in the venom ruptures the surface of living cells that it comes into contact with, destroying it. The technical term is that these chemicals lyse cells' membranes.

Now, unless, the victim with the busted cells is intended to be food for the serpent in question, the cells and it's contents will need a miracle to get back together. Basically, destruction upon encounter is default.

Level 4 - Needle's Eye: If you could get a thing in your grasp, like a thread in a needle's eye, what would you do with it? If you were smart you would actually... use it. If you chance upon a situation you would be wise to make use of it. Like the needle's eye, every actor has a limited capacity to carry anything. Like the thread, many things that may be be of use, must be handles wisely or the thing may slip out of a useful grasp. Like the thread in the needle, the opportunities afforded us may be taken too lightly, thus threatening the strength of the tapestry behind it and ahead of it.

We often look behind us to guess where we are going, making judgments based on the order of stitches preceding the current emergence of the needle, and the patterns that are suggesting behind us. Patterns do not need to be continued as they are seen, but stitches are difficult to be unscratched.

Like a thread, all things that can be taken up must have an end. Or be invisibly replenished.



Links: Each Tribe in the Links category has two States underneath.

Attached, means, well = attachment

Good Fortune / Approaching Troop = anticipation of an approaching result

May He or It Add = Desire (but no cigar)



Interactions: most of the Tribes (6 out of 12, or every other tribe) are in the Interactions category. Each of the Interactions Tribes has only one State underneath them.

One Who Hears = response to stimuli / command

Praise = Self - Expression

My Twisting/My Struggle = active resistance,

Happy = self - initiative, pleasure

Honor/ House = to receive goods or services from others you

Son at My Right Hand = desire (within one's possession), choice

Well, that's it for now in the InnerWheel Series! There are many more concepts that I have found concerning the chart that I want to share, but I want to get questions in this post and make sure I've answered all of them before I do so.

Any questions?

So, I was looking for anything important enough in the Bible that would fall into 3rds, 6ths, 12ths, and so on.

There was one other problem: I couldn't read or understand Hebrew. Thankfully, I had a copy of the New International Version Bible with a few footnotes for Hebrew Translation.

When His inspiration came for , "Twelve Tribes" of Israel, I could run to my Bible.

This would be the ultimate test of how much the utility the Bible had. I knew I would find something in the Bible - but I was also holding pretty firmly to those colors as well...

Happy coincidence.

Did you know that the word "coincidence" does not exist in the Hebrew language? So I've heard...




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• Take the Additive Color Spectrum:

• Now divide it into 12 equal parts:

• Now take Name of the Twelve Tribes:...

Reuben

Simeon

Levi

Yudah

Dan

Naphtali

Gad

Asher

Yssachar

Zebulon

Yoseph

Benyamin

• ...and translate these names into whatever language have you (Here it is in English):

(Most Traslations are according to Zondervan New International Vercion Study Guide Notes, 2008:)

"See, a son (The Hebrew also sounds like "he has seen my misery")

He who Listens [Obeys, Hearkens]

Attached

Praise

Vindicated

My Struggle

Good Fortune

Happy

Reward

Honor [House] (Some other translations have "Dwelling place" or "Glorious dwelling place" - You get the idea.)

May He Add

Son [of my] Right Hand

• Next: The common knowledge is that red is followed by orange, then yellow in color spectrum, regardless of the science used.


• Now place the names in order upon each slice of the pie, one name per slice.

And there you have it...



The twelve Tribes of Israel, mapped to an additive color wheel... provide the nuances of color meaning that evade us today, and a psychologist will probably spend hours trying to categorize.

A warning: just because two colors look the same, does not mean that they are the same.

Your brain might be able to tell the difference between the colors - once you view them apart!

Need more Clues?

Here.



I have a rule of thumb: If the choice of color remains popular for a very long time, this is might be the reason. Look at it this way: there are dozens of places that we can see a particular color - but only one of those occurrences will stick in our minds the most.

Why does the street cone have to be orange, or everything else online that works (or is supposed to work) have to be blue? What about that famous jeweler with that trademark color that is greener than robin's-egg blue?

If the actual behavior of a concept or object, like wireless communication or the color of dreams actually matches a color, the mind remembers it. It is color amplification: score.

[Edit]

----------------------------

One should never disregard a "historical" attribute of a color, which will actually be stronger than the "color wheel" attributes above.

Why?

Say I gave you red M&M. It contained no sugar and was bitter. Your spit it out.

Say I am able to convince you to eat another M&M. This time it is blue.

This time, the candy tastes “Fine”.

Now, say I were to offer you two M&M’s – One was blue and the other red.

Which on would you choose?

If you were learning

(even if I could have tampered with any of the candies – without regards to color).

Would color alone have an influence? Possibly. If you happened to like the color red, you might like the color enough strongly enough to eat the red M&M once again.

Think of shopping in a store. Unless you are looking for a particular phrase or “group of words” to help you decide, package design and color would have a powerful influence on how you choose “randomly”.

People use all kinds of information to make a decision. In a store some use language by looking for words and phrases. Maybe you want to hear what the floor manager has to say about the item. Some use color, some use form, others are more tactile.

If you bought a brand or variety that you later disliked, and the purchase was not based on “language” but was based on form and color – let’s assume you do not a have a strong sense of smell.

A few things may happen:

You may finally take note of the wording and avoid the brand or variety in the future.

You may avoid the packaging.

You may avoid the color scheme.

Or, if you are strongly attached to the color, you may end up buying the product again, or an item in a similar package.

Under non-psychotic circumstances, it shouldn’t matter, if your favorite color happened to be red, or you happened to have been bitten by a blue dog when you were younger.

Are you saying I’m crazy, idiot?

Some things don’t kill us fast enough, that being drawn to them can be called an “official disorder”.

I knew that if God was going to use colors in spiritual language, the Bible would have to answer for itself what those colors meant.

And so, the journey begins...

----

I tried taking the ColorQuiz. Although personally, I found this quiz quite accurate, it's not as if the webmaster is going to simply give me the quiz's code just for the asking... if I could even understand it.

So I had the Bible.

I had already tried to split the color spectrum into 6ths. Sixes were an easy number and seemed to be a number of significance in the Bible other than seven.

Seven is God, Six is man, five is a woman... (I don't know about the woman part, I just heard it somewhere)...

When I looked in the Bible, I figured, "hey, twelve a number that can be used to divide the color spectrum!"

"Where am I getting this from?", you ask.

The additive color spectrum is divisible by thirds, sixths, twelvths, so on and so forth. With three primary colors, I knew there are intermediate combinations (6) and tertiary colors (12 all together) available.

So I was looking for anything important enough in the Bible that would fall into 3rds,, 6ths, 12ths, and so on.

One other problem: I couldn't read or understand Hebrew. Thankfully, I had a copy of the New International Version Bible with a Study Guide footnotes.

You can read the some of the passages that I read, (without study guide), here:

Biblos.com

Genesis 29:all

Genesis 30:1-24

Genesis 35:16-26

Notes: Laban means "White"; Jacob means "One who wrongfully holds the place of another"; Esau means "hairy" (nickname Edom means "red")

When His inspiration came for , "Twelve Tribes" of Israel, I could run to my Bible.

This would be the ultimate test of how much the utility the Bible had. I knew I would find something in the Bible - but I was also also holding pretty firmly to those colors as well...

Happy coincidence.

Did you know that the word "coincidence" does not exist in the Hebrew language? So I've heard...

What do colors have to do with the word of God?

We see that choices of color as important in biblical accounts.

YHVH desired a theme of scarlet, blue, purple and gold in his temple (Exodus 26:36, 26:31, 28:33).

The Kind of Judah, we a told, "will wash his garments in the wine, his robes in the blood of grapes" (Genesis 49:10-12).

The great serpent and one of the beasts of Revelation is described as being red. The woman on the beast is described as being dressed in purple, scarlet and gold (Revelation 12:3, 12:7-9, Revelation 17:3-4).

I do not believe that this has simply to do with "the color of blood": blood tends to mellow out brown after it gets old.

Is brown still "reddish"? Yes. But I wanted was some sort of "word" for it. After all, wine and grape juice was - and still is used - as a "means of delivery" for Jesus' blood for the Christian Communion.

And then there are other colors that are not so easily explained.

Blue for instance. What is that? Sky? Water? Both of water and horizon change colors often... and YHWH does not seem all that into things that are change often in quality. And God is about faith (1 Corinthians 1:9).

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; 8. he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does." (James 1:6-8)

I knew that people assign attribute and qualities to colors... Purple is pride. Pink is desirable for many girls (though not historically). Black is either reserved, honorary or associated with gloom.

Many different kinds of meanings.

I knew that if God was going to use colors in spiritual language, the Bible would have to answer for itself what those colors meant.

And so, the journey begins...

The purpose of this blog is to prove that the Bible has truths that permeate human, modern life - without necessarily having to be taught.

The goal is that visitors will appreciate the Bible as the Inspired Word.

Well, first post...

I first began getting interested in color theory when I was in high school.

I already had an interest in beauty, anything interesting and remotely anime since elementary school

- And by remote, I mean r-e-m-o-t-e... even the "American anime" hybrids.

Then one day, a friend introduced me to DeviantArt....

I made an account, I logged on, and I did more "faves" than I posted works...

And in my tiny teenage brain. that was constantly thinking about how I could make myself prettier - online - and figuring out what people liked, I thought:

"People are sheep, I know that. But even I seem to like the same pictures that everyone else is "faving"... And I know that it can't be a "sheep syndrome" - I am one individual away from being a "lone wolf", and my friend is not even on DA (DeviantArt) - let alone an artist...

"Why do most of the pretty peices of work, always feature the same color schemes? ...Red and cyan, blue and yellow...magenta and acid green.... hmmm ..

I was also taking psychology by now, so I had to know....

Then one day, as I was glancing through someone's Photoshop tutorial, I found a little bit of advise on color...

Colors across from each other are complimentary...

Who hooo! Like I didn't already know that. Blue goes with orange, red goes with Christmas green...

but wait! Blue was not across from orange, as I had been so taught since elementary school. It's accross from yellow...

...Like a sunny day...

The person's tutorial contained a screenshot, which had a color picker from Photoshop.

Red had cyan as complimentary, a color I had never heard of before...

Purple met with a bright green, but not yellow.

This artist's primary colors weren't right!


"additive colour" by dullhunk

After I stuck with this guy's idea of colors that work afterwards, until I learned that there were two kinds of color wheels.

The first wheel is based off of the subtractive color physics.

Physical materials absorb light.

When you see a strawberry red, that is because the strawberry's surface sank every other color except red. That is why you see red.

I am not very knowledgeable about physics and light, but from what I can understand, a material, like paint will absorb light waves differently than if it were "pure" light.

So even though your eyes tell you that teal and red are complementary, pigments with red and green will not create black or grey, but brown.

"Subtractive" primary colors will produce a very limited gamut of color, meaning that they will not produce all the colors we can see. It cannot produce magenta, teal (or cyan), or "bright" greens.

"Additive" primary colors, on the other hand, are produced when light, and not pigments are mixed. From here we can produce I believe, the full spectrum of colors we can see.

But of course, someone who had confused subtractive and additive colors, went around telling us that colors across from each other on a pigment wheel, actually "look good".

There's a difference between acknowledging that two colors mix to create a third, and then putting these colors on a chart to suggest that any of these colors are complimentary.

Purple and yellow are not complimentary. Anyone who tells you that purple and yellow are, needs to study color theory from someone who has a computer.

People,

Here's the next part: What do colors have to do with the Bible?
