Pantocrator TAULL-SYMBOLS OF
The sacred meaning of the symbol can only be seen by who has experience in the sacred, as is the reverence of the world that determines the significance of the images and not vice versa. The symbol, therefore, express the unspeakable. From this point of view, the Domini Maiestas is but the image of an open Theophany, the vision of God enthroned. A Christ the Redeemer, but also computer operator and Cosmos. It is the Lord of Creation, computer time and space. The world in their most recent manifestation
But, as he does not belong to the world but the world is in him, he is represented in a geometric shape that is sacred space, mystical almond, and that is only the unmanifested aspect of the Absolute. The halo is an attribute of holiness. Also distinctive of the radiated light.
And in the silence and darkness of the center, reality becomes cosmoteándrica: svm ego.

His hand is a symbol of power and dominion. Hand and a demonstration from the same root, being shown what can be touched by hand. Run right to the mandate of the Act subject to the left.

In blessing shows index and middle fingers, representing the two natures of Christ, divine and human, or He, like the reverence of life, the symbol of one that involves the paradox of the coincidence oppositorum, as is, time, stillness and dynamism, Reality and Eternity.

. According Hebrew Kabbalah there are four worlds or levels ranging from the issuance of the divine idea to the physical embodiment of that idea.
. Space-
more subtle to the most dense, are known as: Emanation, Creation, Formation and Action .
whole conception of the universe goes through these four phases, all we see or feel is rooted in a flash that emanates from God.
.
Interestingly, in the tradition of Judeo-Christian Kabbalist give each unique conceptual parallels with some aspects of the figure of the Pantocrator of Taull:
.
** The "square" Christ bears white as ornaments in the chest, has a path very similar to the Hebrew letter Resh meaning "Head "and the head is always associated with Wisdom.
Theosophical In this discipline, and depending on where you place the separation between the letters, reading the first words of Genesis " Berechit Bara Elohim" can be interpreted both as "In the beginning God created", or, "God created in the Head."
.
.
** Following the same Jewish tradition, we can not help but notice that the caption block that rests on his knee, Christ proclaims "I I am the Light of the World. " The message seems clear, the Lord is the light that allows us to see in darkness and provides the hope of salvation.
But, as we said before, we can not help but notice that the Hebrew word light has a different concept. Its meaning is "Almendra" receiving this term as the seed or fruit interior bone that holds the nucleus of the tree. ("The Book of Adam" Carlos del Tilo).
In this case we could read: "I am the seed of the World", meaning Christ as the seed or grain that covers and protects inside the origin of life.
.
.
** Also, and for the moment, we know of no other Maiestas whose clothes have a color equal to that of the Pantocrator of Taüll; colors passing through the pure blue tunic , gray interior dress mixed with white and mottled with red.
.
We emphasize that color, since it is a curious fact that in the kabbalistic tree of life, the area that could link to the second person of the Christian Trinity (Son), boasts a range of colors that match the robes curiously Christ, namely : pure blue, gray and white spotted iridescent red. ("Handbook Qabalísitico Symbolism, Gareth Knight).

.................................... ...***
may all be the product of coincidence, but if not, there would be cause for suspect that our beloved Master Taull may have good knowledge of the Judeo-Christian cabal in those centuries was practiced in the Jewish population of our country, and especially in the Catalan area.
Perhaps in this possible case, the Master of Taull could be a Jewish native of the area, this possibility, we suspect, has never yet been contemplated.

Although the representation of the biblical passage of Abraham's sacrifice is common in our Roman art, few studies that have addressed the origins of the archetypal symbolism from the perspective of different cultures archaic for understanding the essence its meaning and, thereby, help relocate the signifier of its use in that precise time of the Middle Ages, explaining.
Let's start by stating that every sacrifice meant the institutionalization of a new order, in that the primitive man would resort to it only as a last resort, when all the steps made to the gods, demons or witches, with In order to remove a condition, had failed. His conception of suffering is attributable only to the divine will, and because it intervenes directly to produce it, and because it allows other forces cause it.
.
.
Therefore, from a formal point of view, the representation of the sacrifice of Abraham but would not be a cultural reference to the traditional conception of archaic civilizations, in which the first child was regarded as the god and was, through his sacrifice, and was returned to the divinity that belonged only to her, restoring and regenerating the established order the flow of sacred energy in the cosmos.
And in a sense, also Isaac was the son of a god, because "the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised" (Gen. 21.1), sexual connotation as sentence used to save the memory East of the archaic custom of girls spend a night in the temple to be fertilized by the God, or his representative or "sent."
As is well known, the sacrifice of Isaac was over, at the request of God, with the exchange of young by a ram.
A myth, in parallel, as occurs in Euripides, in his "Iphigenia in Aulis" says the passage demands that the goddess that is offered in sacrifice the daughter of King Agamemnon, Iphigenia, but like Isaac, the order of the goddess, in the last minute ordering the killing of a deer instead.
