X = The Mark of Illumination (DNA)
"It is the great symbol of manifested light (9), which is indicated by the Greek letter X (khi), initial of the words [*197-1] (Chone), [*197-2] (Chrysos), and [*197-3] (Chronos), crucible, gold, and time, triple unknown of the Great Work. The cross of St Andrew ([*197-4] --- Chiasma), in the shape of an X, is the hieroglyph of luminous and divergent radiations, emanated from a unique fire/center, reduced to its simplest expression. Therefore, it is clearly the graphic of the spark. Its radiation can be multiplied, but it is impossible to further simplify it. These intersecting lines produce the diagram of the shining of stars, of the radiating dispersion of all that shines, lightens and irradiates. Thus it has been made the seal, the mark of illumination, and, in a wider sense, of spiritual revelation.
The Holy Spirit is always perpendicular to its body, that is to say, in a cross. For the Greek cross and that of St Andrew have in hermetics a exactly similar meaning. One frequently encounters the image of the dove completed by a halo which specifies the hidden meaning, as can be seen in the religious scenes of our Primitives and in a number of purely alchemical sculptures (10).
The Greek X and the French X represent the writing of light by light itself, the trail of its passage, the manifestation of its movement, the affirmation of its reality. It is its true signature. Until the 12th century, no other mark was used to authenticate old charters; from the 15th century on, the cross became the signature of illiterates. In Rome, auspicious days were signed with a white cross and unfavorable ones with a black cross.
It is the complete number of the Work, because unity, the two natures, the three principles, and the four elements give the double quintessence, the two Vs joined in the Roman cipher X for the number ten. The number is the foundation of the Pythagorean Cabala, or of the universal language, whose curious paradigm can be seen on the last page of a little alchemy book (11). Bohemians used the cross or the X as a sign of recognition. Guided by this graphic traced on a tree or on some wall, they still camp exactly on the spot occupied by their predecessors near the sacred symbol which they call Patria. One could believe this word to be of Latin origin and apply to the nomads this maxim which the cats --- living objects of art --- strive to practice: Patria est ubicumque est bene --- wherever we are comfortable, there is our country; but their emblem refers to a Greek word [*198-1] (Patria), with the meaning of family, tribe, race.
The cross of the Gypsies or Romanies therefore indicates the place of refuge assigned to a tribe. Furthermore, almost all meanings revealed by the sign X have a transcendent or mysterious value, and this fact is singular. In algebra, X is the unknown quantity; it is also the problem to be solved, the solution to be discovered; it is the Pythagorean sign of multiplication, and the element to cast out the nines in arithmetic; it is the popular symbol of mathematics in what concerns higher or abstract development. It characterizes that which, generally is excellent, useful, remarkable ([*198-2] --- Chresimos). In that sense, and in the slang of students, it serves to single out the French Polytechnic School (12) by securing the superiority that the "taupins and dear comrades" (13) of that school would not permit to be discussed or disputed. The best pupils, candidates to the school, are united in each promotion or "taupe", by a cabalistic formula composed of an X whose opposite angles the chemical symbols of sulphur and potassium hydrate are written: SXKOH. This is pronounced, in slang of course, "souffre et potasse pour l’X" (14).
The X is the emblem of measure ([*199-1] --- metron), taken in all its meanings: dimension, area, space, duration, rule, law, boundary or limit. For this occult reason, the international standard of the meter, made of platino-iridium and kept in the pavilion of Breteuil in Sevres, has the shape of an X in its cross-section (15). All bodies of nature, all beings either in their structure or in their appearance, abide by this fundamental law of radiation, all are subjected to this 91 measure.
The canon of the Gnostics applies this measure to the human body (16); and Jesus Christ, spirit incarnate, St Andrew, and St Peter, personify its glorious and painful image.
Have we not noticed that the aerial organs of vegetables --- be they lofty trees or tiny herbs --- show along with their roots the characteristic divergence of the branches of the X? In what manner do flowers bloom? Section vegetable leaves, leafstalks, nervures, etc., examine the cross-sections under a microscope and you will observe, with your own eyes, the most brilliant, the most marvelous confirmation of this divine will. Diatoms, sea urchins, starfish are other examples; but, without looking any further, open an edible shellfish --- be it cockle, conch, scallop --- and the two valves opened flat will show you convex surfaces endowed with grooves in the double fan shape of the mysterious X.
Its whiskers gave the cat its name (17); we do not doubt that they hide a meaning of high degree of knowledge and that this gracious feline owes the honor of being raised to the rank of Egyptian deities to this secret reason.
Finally, in space and time, the same immense ideal cross divides the 24 centuries of the cyclic year ([*201-1] --- Chiliarmos), and separates the 24 elders of the Apocalypse into four groups of ages, of whom twelve sing the praises of God, while the other twelve bemoan the downfall of man."
Fulcanelli, The Dwellings of the Philosophers pg 90+x
Can we expect illumination when we alter our DNA by accepting a DNA altering medication? When we alter our intelligently designed machine, called the human body, are we no longer intelligently designed? Is this the greatest test that all will have to pass?! Do we alter ourselves to such an extent that we are no longer made in the image of God? How could we possibly remain a walking universe?
"A Space.com article states "Astronomers report an unprecedented elongated double helix nebula near the center of our Milky Way galaxy. We see two intertwining strands wrapped around each other as in a DNA molecule,” said Mark Morris, a UCLA professor of physics and astronomy. ... What we see indicates a high degree of order."

"James Watson and Francis Crick proposed that DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was a double-helix structure, not a triple stranded structure as had been previously hypothesized, on April 2, 1953.
The molecular biologists made their proposal based on the research of many other scientists and credited those pioneers respectfully. Such research included the crucial X-ray diffraction image of DNA labeled as “Photo 51” from Rosalind Franklin in 1952, as well as her more clarified DNA image with Raymond Gosling, Maurice Wilkins, Alexander Stokes, and Herbert Wilson; and base-pairing chemical and biochemical information by Erwin Chargaff."
Crick, Watson, and Wilkins received the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their contributions to the discovery."

How does this relate? The Law of Analogy dictates all life.

"Every natural object in the universe is a hieroglyph of divine science. Each animal, each species of plant, each mineral group, is a stage in the process of “becoming aware” of the cosmic Cause, culminating in the complete organism of human man, the microcosma—“ man in His image.”
