TURTLE TALKS TORAH and Counts the Omer!

When the study of the hidden Jewish wisdom tradition became of interest at the age of 13 or so this rare American turtle(pictured) also came into my life at the edge of a pond at a summer camp. What i did not yet know at the time was how the geometric pattern of her shell, and that of most turtles in the world contains a "map" that explains the connections between science,math,and the world's religions rooted in the ancient aboriginal EARTH wisdom. The Earth is our true common mother and she does interface with the five levels of soul in the ancient wisdom tradition that we as humans are said to also have. These are mirrored in the five senses.
While doing a class project involving DNA tests for my students and myself the connections between DNA and the Tree of soul called Etz Chaiim in Hebrew became very clear. The DNA molecule itself is based on the Golden mean/fibonacci ratio, the very signature of divine soul in living organisms. The need for our ongoing great religions and their prayer forms throughout thousands of year also fit into this picture. The CHAYAH soul is the female root living soul in each of us(sometimes latent however) and in the Earth where she is called the Mother, First woman, Shechinah and I now believe the "mitochondrial Eve" of genetic science had this female soul root. We are all connected to our original clan mother through our soul interfaced DNA. She manifests in ourselves as well as in the trees, plants, rivers, oceans and all waterways throughout our holy globe of Earth.
She appeared in the guise of an individual spirit woman to the Plains Natives of America(see image White Calf Woman) and surely to other peoples around the Earth. The Jewish Matriarch Sarah Imeinu had this soul root connection.

If we count all the scutes(scales) of the upper(carapace) and lower(plastron) shells of most turtles we have 37 upper and 12 lower which gives us the sum of Forty Nine.This number is popular to Jews who are counting the Omer right now and to Buddhists who know this is the count of the Bardo realm days between death and rebirth(Tibetan Bardo Thodol). This is also the umber of squares in the magic square attributed to the realm of Nogah/Venus.a 7 X 7 square/kamea.
I discovered my own mitochondrial clan/sub-clan in our class study and that information was both wonderful and surprising and explained particularly the need for the coexistence of the ongoing unbroken prayer forms of Judaism and Christianity in Europe and America for these 20 centuries. Thanks Mom! and
Happy Wonderful mothers day to all!
