Salt and Light of the World

Matthew 5:13-16

Salt and Light

13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

I - Salt, Water, Fire

Take for our example Salt, NaCl. Lets posit that NaCl is the Oneness of God and us. Then we have a glass of water, which symbolizes creation. We put NaCl to water and Na+ ions and Cl- ions separate. Being in Creation separates us from God. And if we use fire (gnosis of God) to evaporate water (death/material destruction), Na+ions and Cl- ions become NaCl again, go back to Oneness of us and God.

So salt separates to two components in Water ▽ and combines together again by using Fire △.

II - Light, Double Prisms

Before Isaac Newton, most scientists believed that white was the fundamental color of light. Newton demonstrated that this was not true by passing white light through a prism, breaking it up into its composite colors, and then using a second prism to reassemble them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White

So white light separates into seven components when passed through △ and becomes white light again when the components pass through ▽.
Note: Salt = 7, Light = 2,  ▽ = -5,  △ = +5
