Psalm 107
LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET CONSECTETUR
Psalm 107, called the Psalm of Thanksgiving, describes four perilous situations that could befall us. It tells us that someone who has gone through any of these situations and survived has a special obligation to give thanks and praise to God. There is even a special blessings to say in the synagogue when called to the Torah.
The perilous situations described in Psalm 107 are:
1. Being lost in a desert and eventually finding civilization.
2. Being imprisoned or held in captivity and then released.
3. Having a life-threatening illness and recovering from it.
4. Being on a boat in an ocean storm and finding dry land.
The Psalm begins by saying, ‘Give thanks to God for He is good, for His kindness endures forever. In all four situations, the text says, ‘They cried out to God in their distress and from their anguish He rescued them.’ After describing their rescue it says, ‘Let them thank God for His kindness and for His wonders to the children of Adam’. The Psalm concludes by saying, ‘Whoever is wise should notice these things and contemplate the kindnesses of God’.
I survived a life-threatening illness, cancer. I was diagnosed with advanced-stage Hotchkins lymphoma in 1986 and underwent eight months of aggressive chemotherapy. It saved my life, introduced me to Jewish meditation, made me a more spiritual person - more open-minded and less judgmental. I thank God for allowing me to have survived, and in retrospect I can see many good things that came from going through such a difficult ordeal. That is why I appreciate the message of this Psalm of Thanksgiving, and made this picture.
The text of this Psalm is written in this picture in 26 circles. The text begins with the circle in the center, moves counter-clockwise around 6 circles 4 times; and then concludes with the large circle on the outside.
Look at the 6 circles with text that are near the central circle with text, and who overlap each other. Notice how this central circle overlaps all of these 6 circles. The circumference of the central circle passes through the center points of all 6 circles. This symbol formed by these 7 circles is called 'The Seed of Life' in Sacred Geometry.
There is another geometric symbol here. The symbol formed by the 6 circles with text that are all touching each other but are not overlapping, plus the center circle they are also touching is called 'The Flower of Life'.
