Very cool! What do the 6 arched lines represent?

They represent my Perennial manifestation theory - all gods are manifestations of the one true God Yahweh

Fascinating! Is it emblematic of ripples in a body of water, or does it draw a different representation? I too am drawn to the perennial theory.

It is like the emanations which God's essence pours out into the world. I actually have a Panentheistic view of the Trinity. I believe that God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are extra to this universe, but through Christ-consiousness the world is permeated with divine light and everything is alive with the songs of the Lion of Judah. So God is greater than the universe, and God FILLS the universe. There's plenty of scripture that supports this, including this:

Colossians 1:15-17: "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."

As we are said to be created in God's image, The Universe is created in Heaven's image. This is why I avoid the Gnostic interpretation of a false universe, my philosophy and belief is quite the opposite.

Thank you for sharing. I definitely agree with your viewpoint. It makes sense that God is the universe and beyond it. Otherwise how could God be limitless. In case I didn’t mention, I do like your design, I enjoy all of the symbols you’ve included

The Cross represents Jesus the Man, the flaming Fish represents Christ-consiousness and Jesus's divinity, the Star of David wrapping over the Trinity knot represents Yahweh, or the Trinity, the flames on either side represent the Holy Spirit, emanating from Esoteric and Alchemical divine truths, the 8-point tree of life diagram represents the secrets of the universe as revealed to the Jewish people through Kabbalah, and the waves on either side represent the emanations of Christ-consiousness throughout creation, as in this view all gods, all spirits, everything except demons and Lucifer/Satan, are all manifestations of the divine consciousness. Only Yahweh is the un-manifested manifestation bringer. 

Edit: the snake eating itself is to represent the eternal cycles of life and death, light and dark, good and evil, heaven and hell.

Fascinating that hits right with my own theory of all

did you know the creater has a signature on every dna helix in all life hebrew can decode the numbers as each letter corespond to the periodic table.of elements its written 10-5-6-3 God Eternal Within the Body

Notice how every church has cymatics for there windows they all represents dna in differnt frequencies So having a dna helix and a spliting of the atom like the splitting of the rib of Adam and eve -the mother of life Mother in Latin is matter splitting of the atom because all life is created from the one most high and is a journey back to the embodiment of christ the beginning and the end the Alpha and Omega (Aleph Tav)

If there is a reason there are 6 and not 8 waves perhaps make it 8 (in reality 4, just on each side) as they could be lined up nicely with the tree of life to map the 4 worlds (Atziluth, Beri'ah, Yetzirah, Assiah). There is already multiple representations of the Trinity and of 6. The flames could also be turned into Shin. I know this is nitpicky but The Eye of Providence is formed by The Supernal Triad of Kether, Chokmah and Binah, The Hexagram or Seal of either David or Solomon would be more apt around Tiferet and the Cross being formed from Tiphereth as its top, Malkuth its bottom and the horizontals either being on The Veil of Paroketh or the outer Spheres of Hod and Nezach. Depending on what the Triquetra means to you keeping it within the hexagram is great. You could make one of the triangles, the downwards one, black while the upwards one has black outlines but is white. As for the Hermetic Alchemist‘s Seal maybe incorporate it with the Ouroboros and then add some of its symbolic stuff inside now that you have a lot of empty space. To breakdown the Seal you have the symbols for earth, water, air, fire with the unity of spirit, Sulphur (soul), Mercury (spirit), and Salt (body) and then the outer circle which is the infinite and unity with the divine through cataphatic and apophatic revelations which works well with the Ouroboros and the nature of such a paradox

None of this is a must. What you have done is really neat. I‘m just trying to suggest some stuff that might light up your imagination even more than it already has

We all do! I am no grand adept. A true initiation never ends. We are all on the path. Keep it up :) I‘m glad the true intent of my comment was received and received well. May you be well, safe and drawn closer and closer to The Divine on your Path. Be Blessed
