911 Memorial Analysis

In 2006 this memorial was officially gifted to the United States by Russia, who gifted memorials made by the same sculptor to Ukraine and Israel in the preceding years.

The monument is called the “Tear Drop Memorial,” which is a play on words, meaning both ‘tear‘, as in ‘tear drop,’ and ‘tear,’ as in to tear or rip something. The monument displays both kinds of ‘tears‘ simultaneously.

The monument resembles a vagina, torn open, invoking “the ripping of the veil,” an apocalyptic event symbolizing the end of the old covenant and the beginning of the new messianic covenant, due to the sacrifice of the messiah. Inside of the vaginal vesica pisces is what is said to be a tear drop, but in relation to the sexual symbolism is a drop of seed, and even resembles a sperm cell. The seed in the vaginal-vesica signals birth. The torn outline of the vesica alludes to the tearing that can occur during birth. This signifies ‘the birth pangs of the Messiah,‘ The tribulation that engulfs the world before the coronation of the Messiah. The feminine sexual symbolism of the holy of holies, between the two pillars of the temple, where the veil was torn, has been covered en passim in Kabbalistic literature.

The Zohar’s metaphor for the birth of the messiah is a story of a pregnant doe, symbolizing the Shekinah, the feminine aspect of God and the mother of the Messiah, who cannot give birth because her womb is sealed. God sends a serpent from’ the mountains of darkness’ to bite her pudendum, and initiate the birth of the Messiah. The first bite draws blood which the serpent consumes, the second bite breaks her waters, bringing about the birth of the messiah, the redemption, and the beginning of the new aeon. This is one of many places where the ‘birth pangs’ preceding the messianic aeon are described violently, alluding the great wars and tribulations that the world will endure.

In the messianic oracles of both Judaism and Christianity, tears are associated with the divine mother of the messiah. The Shekinah is depicted as sorrowful and weeping, as is Mary during the crucifixion. This symbolism is universal and predates the bible, as Isis wept and mourned for the slain Osiris in Egypt, as did the Babylonian Goddess Inanna or Ishtar who mourned for the slain Tammuz. Ezekiel 8:14 recounts this ritual where women in Jerusalem near the north gate of the temple were observed crying and mourning for Tammuz. This lament was part of a ritual to bring about the ressurection of Tammuz, whose parralels to the slain messiah in Christianity have been covered in many places. To this day Tammuz is the name of the fourth month of the Hebrew calendar, which was adopted during the Babylonian exile, despite the normally strict prohibition against saying the names of pagan idols.

Hopefully this illustrates how both ‘tear‘ and ‘tear‘ allude to the same process, the end of the old world and the beginning of the new aeon.

Speaking of new beginnings, the very first word of the Bible is Bereshit (בְּרֵאשִׁית), meaning “in the beginning.” The root word beginning is Reshit, and the Bet (בְּ) or B in front of it a prefix meaning “in.” Here is the Gematria of “Reshit,” or “Beginning”:

Resh = 200, Aleph = 1, Shin = 300, Yod = 10, Tau = 400
