sigh It's not the Star of David. It's the Merkaba, it represents God. The unification of Male and Female energies. The rudimentary Male Symbol is an upward facing triangle, named the Blade. The rudimentary Female Symbol is a downward facing Triangle, dubbed The Chalice. The combination of the two elements to create the Divine Being of Action is represented by the Merkaba.
The (((Star of David))) is Cultural Appropriation of an Ancient Symbol that predates antiquity.
When you get right down to it, many Christian symbols, including the Cross, are "cultural appropriations". There is nothing wrong with it, especially when the symbol is treated with the respect that the "Star of David"/ Merkaba or the Cross is.
Correct. Long before the meaning of "Israel" held the arbitrarily assigned meaning of a "tribe", "place" or "state/country", it's original meaning was exactly this. The word "Israel" originally held this same meaning, combining the words:
"Isis" which represented the feminine energy (Goddess Isis)
"Ra" which represented the masculine energy (Sun God Ra)
"El" which represented the notion of being one with "God"
IsRaEl - YHVH/God after my own heart.
Nowadays the same meaning of the word is "IsRaEl" is used in the words enlightenment, awakening, self-realization, etc.
Good explanation. I would only note that the only reason Israel is associated with the tribe of Israel is because that tribe is said to have descended from the Biblical Israel that you discuss.
Herein lies all the confusion. The "lineage" has nothing to do with parents, genes, bloodlines, plots of geography, etc.
The "tribe" are those practicing and living by the spiritual laws/dictates. And none of it is about "what one knows/believes". Spiritual practice is all about what is emanating from, and vibrating/feeling within. Actions speak louder than words. Words are meaningless. Truly as simple as that.
again the Demiurge, Baphomet thing? https://www.voat.co/v/QRV/3144313 I feel like the conversation on this board is constantly directed away from a certain group of <<<people>>>.

What you say is true, although it is a modern manifestation of those terms befitting our Western society of individualism.
