The aforementioned Tuaoi stone was described by Cayce as being in the temple or powerhouse and that originally it gave the Atlanteans the ability to communicate with the “saints” or where the finite could contact the infinite. The Tuaoi stone description and purpose subtly describes and brings together the ultimate symbol of Oneness in a similar way as the Sri Yantra, the Axis Mundi, and other symbols representing the uniting of heaven and earth. (Detailed in Chapter 6) This application degraded into a use as a physical power source and purportedly led to the destruction of Atlantis. The Cayce readings describe the Atlanteans as originally more like thought forms, but as desire for gratification in the material occurred, they became hardened or set in material form. The Atlantean injection into Egypt was apparently very early, before 10,000 BCE. “…of which later we find that peoples who entered into the black or mixed peoples, in what later became the Egyptian dynasty.” (364-4)13
In the Cayce readings, along with its use and misuse, what caught my attention was the physical description of the stone. It is a six-sided crystal that in the beginning was the source from which there was the spiritual and mental contact, and it apparently radiated energy. If one pictures this six-sided crystal and its energy radiating from each side, one can easily visualize a six-pointed star, Solomon's Seal, or a Magen David (Shield/Star of David). This possibility is strengthened by the authors Lora Little and John Van Auken when they present evidence from the Mayans in Piedras Negras that the six-pointed star may be a sign of the lost Atlantean records and a symbol of the Tuaoi stone.14 In addition they present this six-pointed star which was also discovered in the ancient Mayan city of Uxmal in a sun disc.

The Finite Communicating with the Infinite
The beginning of the symbolism of uniting the infinite with the finite, the heavens with earth through the fusion of triangles is starting to be evidenced. Following this hypothesis or this thought experiment, let us continue on to the Magen David (the Star or Shield of David), also known as the Seal of Solomon, Creator's Star, or in geometry a hexagram. Here is a six-pointed star/shield or two triangles where one is inverted and the two are placed on top of each other. On the Israeli flag this symbol/shape can be seen in a blue color very similar to the turquoise of Serabit el-Khadim. If the Tables of the Law are, as surmised, triangular and made of turquoise and even if it is turquoise powdered on scrolls, which are inverted and laid on top of each other, the comparison is evident.
Besides this evidence and the arguments for such triangular tablets, there is a metaphysical interpretation of a six-pointed star as being representative of the spiritual man's seven chakras, with the seventh being hidden in the center. Again we are drawn back to the tables representing the “house of the soul.”
P.D. Ouspensky describes the six-pointed star as:
(That) which represented the world on ancient symbolism is in reality the representation of space-time or the “period of dimension,” i.e. of the three space-dimensions and the three time-dimensions in their perfect union, where every point of space includes the whole of time and every moment of time includes the whole of space, when everything is everywhere and always
