Jasper, the Bagua Tao Symbol

The tao symbol (also called Dao) is the shining Jasper stone described in Revelation 21:11.

Its radiance was like that of a precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal. Revelation 21:11

Jasper  = J+A+S+P+E+R

           = 10 +:1 + 19  + 16 + 5:+ 18

           = 69 (Tao)

Since 6 and:8 are Yin and Yang, Tao is the 3x3x3 cube game called Rubik's cube.

Recall that Rubik's cube has six square faces and each square face is a 3x3 square grid.

Tao is base 2 where yin and yang are 0 and one respectively.

Bagua is a 3 bit octagon surrounding the Tao symbol. When converted to binary numbers the eight symbols or trigrams constituting Bagua are:

000

001

010

011

100

101

110

111

When converted from base 2 to base 10, the eight trigrams are the base 8 numerals: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

Each trigram is geometrically an equilateral triangle such that Bagua is eight equilateral triangles forming an octagon.

Dome of the Rock, the Muslim shrine in the Temple Mount in Jerusalem is a physical manifestation of Bagua. The stone placed in the middle of the shrine is the Tao.

The rock inside the Dome of the Rock is concrete evidence that tao is a stone.

Tao (69) = Jasper (stone)

Since the eight symbols are equilateral triangles, a hexagram is formed by the pairing of two symbols. 64 symbols are derivable from pairing the eight symbols in Bagua.

Each symbol derived from a pair of Bagua symbols is equal to 6 bits.

The 64 symbols derived from Bagua are the 64 I Ching Hexagrams.

Bagua is heaven, according to the Chinese. Hence Dome of the Rock is evidence that heaven has come to earth.
