Any GODS out there know why in this pic, on the window to the school, there's these 6 pointed so-called stars, rocked mainly by the HEBREW ISRAELITE brethren?

Yeah, the seven stars, to the right; I've never seen the star utilized by the NGE, though I have seen the so-called 'Nuwabians' employ the symbol in the past.

PEACE KEPH: To my knowledge, the 6 pointed star was a transitional star that was actually used by the HONORABLE ELIJAH MUHAMMAD during the early NOI days. ELIJAH even spoke about it in the volumes of the SUPREME WISDOM: Also, do you have a larger version of that ALLAH SCHOOL pic? PEACE

Peace
All i see from the first post is just small sexy red X so my imagination on its usage is limited by this, but i just need to say that the mentioned 6-point star ( Dawhuud star ) actually predates the Hebrew symbolic usage by times.
As a symbol, it is originated in Hermetism, going through ancient Kemetic for Islamic metaphysics. Islamic metaphysic sytem is by the way the very same as is essential hermeticism.
The 6 point star is a reflection of axiomatic rule “As Above So Below“. In this Islamic seal, in the very top triangle we can recognize the sign for ALLAH in arabic.
The main difference of the typical greek originated view on the world is that it has the ability to see reality not just as a conglomeration of self-contained components.
Thoughts as such were throughout history represented by unknown followers and coevals of Rasull Allah Mustafa Muhammad ( sallallah allayihim wa sallam ), than Sufis such as Mansuur Al-Halladj to Mawlaana Rumi or in more speculative theoretical works of Ibn Arabi, or in Metaphysical and Physical Risaalats (dissertations) of the great scientist Ibn Sina, in westerners lands known as wel as Avicenna.

Peace,
Damurah, could you further elaborate upon this assertion:
There is no question that this is primordial symbology. There is four main aspects that characterize this symbol.
1. The downward-pointing triangle. 2. The upward-pointing triangle. 3. The six pointed star as the result of their union. 4. The six pointed star being enclosed in a circle.
In compliance with my studies, the downward-pointing triangle represents the feminine, yin aspect, of existence. The upward-pointing triangle represents the masculine, yang, aspect of existence. Their union (whole star) represents their metaphysical union and manifests as equilibrium in nature and the universe. "As Above So Below" as Damurah has already asserted. The circle corresponds to Pure Consciousness which manifests ying and yang as the underlying factor of creation and existence.
Was this symbol utilized in Kemet? Perhaps Hermeticism did?
Let's build, I have previously inquired about this symbol.
In Peace,
I-Son
