On the equator of the Earth it is possible to practice alchemical operations twelve months out of the year; thus there are twelve tribes of stars to work with, and twelve moon cycles to use. Noah was told to take into the “arc” two of every kind. Jacob saw the ladder of the focal spectral spear; with the angels (colors of light) and the vapors rising within the colors of light spear; the atmospheric spear descending from the focal spear of the clouds atmospheric lens; and the colors expressed below the focal points as the vapors rose in reaction to the light spears; as they expressed the angels ascending up through the focal ring of spear points. The ladder has seven rungs of color; both above; and also below, the points of focal crossover.

Jacob obviously is describing the focal spear from a side view; with both the focal points of the spears of light; viewable; and the colors or spear; after the focal points as the spear expands towards the Earth. The focal points or center of the spear being in the air above the ring of fire on the Earth’s surface. Which is the origin for the alchemical saying; “That which is above, is as that which is below; and that which is below, is as that; which is above; to accomplish the miracle of the one thing.” From the Emerald Tablet of Hermes)
