What is a symbol of the Four-Position-Foundation? Are there different ways to represent the Four-Position-Foundation? This study presents some major symbols of Judaism, Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Unification Thought as very similar expressions of the Four-Position-Foundation. Although they are somewhat different in their focus, the most common features of the Four-Position-Foundation are shown to be present, allowing us to have a common denominator or language for sharing experiences across cultures. Atheists sometimes wonder, “If there is a God, then why are the major religions so different.” This study shows that they are not so different, due to the common dynamic of the Four- Position-Foundation present in their most holy symbols and descriptions of ultimate reality. Finally, a hypothesis is made linking the Four-Position-Foundation to an Internal Periodic Table, that if true, helps unify science and religion, possibly resulting in reduced time and expense for developing materials with special properties.

Abstract 1. Introduction 2. Materials and Discussions 2.1. Judaism’s Tree of Life is an alternative representation of the 3-stage development of the four-position-foundation. 2.1. The AUM (OM) of Hinduism maps to the four-position-foundation and to Judaism’s Tree of Life. 2.2. Taoism’s wu chi, wang chi, tai chi (variations of terms exist) and cosmic family of 8 trigrams map to the Tree of Life. 2.3. The Tri-kaya concept of Mahayana Buddhism maps to the Tree of Life. 2.4. Statements of Jesus and the Tree of Life 2.5. Meher Baba’s expression of Sufi Islam in his major work “God Speaks” maps to the Tree of Life. 2.6. Rev. Moon’s Love/Life/Lineage/Conscience diagram maps to the Tree of Life. 2.7. Conjecture: The periodic table of elements can map to the Tree of Life. But is it correct to do so? 3. Conclusion References
