In 1993 David Fideler published "Jesus Christ Sun of God" also without mentioning Metatron or the cube, although some of the graphics that he offers in that book come very close to depicting it.

In his book Fideler characterizes the Hexad (the hexagon/cube) as a prime archetype underlying three-dimensional space and natural phenomenon, which he ties to the Pythagorian Tetraktys, the Kabbalistic Tree of Life and the 'fish net' symbolism of the Gnostics, but not to Metatron's Cube. Metatron isn't even in the index of his book, leading one to believe that the notion was not yet in common use then.

On the page about the fish net that is said to represent the 'woven web of nature... which enforms the pattern of creation', he fails to mention the hexad, and instead suggests that it derives from the Vesica Piscis. The vesica consists of overlapping equal circles so that the circumference of one lies on the center of the other. Where the circles overlap coincides with the points of an equilateral triangle and and a hexagon; that is the vesica generates these two. The vesica is another prime archetype.

The net or web is depicted by an isometric (rhombus) grid that features 30 and 60 degree angles which results from extending the sides of both the triangle and hexagon. Figures such as the triangle, hexagon, the tetrakyts, the tree of life and metatron's cube are constructed from points located at nodes on the grid. All these figures are part of a 'complex' that designers call ad triangulum, by the triangle; and they use the grid of lines to determine the location of elements in a design, in the same way that the grid is used to 'draw' other figures using regulating lines and points.

Fideler uses as his model the notion of the Three Worlds of Hellenistic Cosmology, depicted graphically as three overlapping circles, from which he derives the Tree of Life. Later versions of the figure show the three circles inside a larger circle. First he illustrates how overlapping circles cut a chord from the circle that is one side of an equilateral triangle providing 60 degree diagonals, and inscribing the circle at the center. Next he explores the relationship between a rhombus and a hexagon which provides 30 degree angles.

             

Even though he does show hexagon illustrations in the book, and he shows the triangle on the three circles, he never shows the hexagram over the Three Worlds image (far right above). His triangle image locates all but two of these points. He appears to never consider the fact that there are two triangles inside the hexagram.

The closest that he comes is this image (below) that he borrows from John Mitchell (from which he derives his images ) where nine worlds have been reduced to three. In the nine worlds image, the top would be the stars, the bottom would be the earth and the middle section would be the seven planets (note the hexagonal flower of life form of seven circles in the center). On the tree of life, the bottom is the earth, the top is spheres 1 through 3, and the middle is the rest of the planets minus Saturn.

Fideler's triangle and rhombus images (above) mark two more points on the lower half of the big circle. He does this by doubling the scale of the lower circle and projecting the grid onto the larger circle. His rhombus is half as tall as the circle not one quarter.

If he had done the same thing with the top circle, he would have provided the points in the top half of the circle needed for a larger Star of David and Metatron's Cube, but for some reason, he just didn't go there. This means that in 1993 Fideler was re-issuing Mitchell's 'doubling the circle' image, even adding to it, without ever moving to 'doubling the hexagon' which is Metatron's Cube.

Doubling the Circle

Doubling the circle is a phrase that refers to the pattern produced by expanding sets of three overlapping circles. If we overlap three one inch circles we project a two inch circle, but we have also marked the corners of a hexagon, hexagram and equilateral triangles inside the center circle. Adding another two inch circle at the top and one at the bottom marks the second circle the same way as the inner one. The inner circle is inscribed in the triangles formed by the larger circles.

This then is an expanding (doubling) set of circles, triangles, hexagons and hexagrams. Metatron's Cube is a double hexagram analogous to the double circle.

             

The first image is from Mitchell's 1974 book "City of Revelation", the second image marks 13 points ala Metatron's cube, the third image depict 13 points ala the Tetraktys (ten dot pyramid) and the Star of David (note the difference); this is the arrangement of stars above the eagle in the Great Seal on the Dollar Bill. As a matter of fact, the field of stars just does fit in the top circle when these two images are super-imposed.

On the end above we see the truncated pyramid and the eye of providence, also from the dollar bill. Remember that there are thirteen tiers of stones on the pyramid, and that the eagle has nine tail feathers.

The images below show how the diferent sized circles generate fractals of cubes (blue) and pentagons (red) and provide the position for spheres 2 and 3 on a different shaped tree. These points are located by extending the top lines of the hexagon to the triangle forming a pentagon. While the image of the tree above (3 circles) features overlapping hexagons, this image features a hexagon and a pentagon which symbolize the macrocosm and the microcosm.

            

As you can see, the last figure of the tree results from adding only two points to Fideler's triangle image. Note that the rhombus formed by the overlapping hex-pent is the same as the one formed by the hex-hex overlap. Adding the two top points we get Metatron's Cube with the Tree in a composite symbol (far right). The cube consists of 13 points in three axes, while the Tree is composed of plane geometric figures, triangles, hexagon and a pentagon.

The DC Map Plan

The figure below differs from Fideler's triangle image in that it adds two points of the hexagon on the larger circle and adds the top two points of the pentagon creating a figure with 15 points. This composite figure was used as a template for the DC map after it was shortened to make the upright triangle match the cross-section of the Great Pyramid; that is the base angles of the triangle in the figure below are ~52 degrees.

The central axis is 16th Street. The White House is at the bottom point of the pentagon, at the center of the figure, half way between Georgetown (in the NW) and the Capitol (in the SE) on Pennsylvania Avenue, one of the diagonals of the hexagon. The other diagonal is New York Avenue. N Street runs from Georgetown through Scott Cr (north of the WH) to the intersection of N Capitol St and NY Ave. New Hampshire Ave connects two points on the left side of the pentagon and forms the left side of the big triangle. Maryland Avenue connects the CB and the Jefferson Mml.
