Blue Ceiling Panel Representing the Light of Truth The blue panel, the sixth of the spectrum, represents the Light of Truth, with the blue background signifying light from darkness. The Spirit of Truth crushes the dragon of Ignorance and Falsehood underfoot. She reaches to heaven for a ray of light to inflict the final wound. The cherubs in the corners are involved in activities symbolizing the presence of a universal law, including holding a level, the plumb, and the Bible.

It contains more knowledge on paper than any other spot in the World. 118 million Books. 500 miles of shelf space. Thomas Jefferson dedicated his entire library to start the Library of Congress. This was Jefferson’s Apple Computer! Books on Astronomy, Physics, Law, History, and the Occult. The pattern on the floor is incredible. In a special reading room that is NOT accessible to the public, there are 7 painted panels on the ceiling, corresponding to the colors of the light spectrum: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet The panels on the ceiling are designed as mandalas, meditation tools for attuning the chakras in the human body to their proper frequencies. This room is below the Jefferson Library and in alignment with the axis of the winter solstice sun as it aligns with the US Capitol dome. This has got to be one of the greatest meditation rooms in Washington DC. This special meditation room in the Library of Congress is a pure delight. What a powerful testament to our forefather’s esoteric knowledge. The painter of the panels, Carl Gutherz, penned a letter to a friend and said, “Some day a real poet who can write will describe them.” [http://www.cosmicdoorways.net/CosmicDoorways/CD-LIBRARY_OF_CONGRESS.html]
