All you need is a little air, water, fire, and earth to stand upon. (Anonymous) The forces that we can not perceive with our senses are said to be composed of five types. The results of their actions are felt by us. Here actions refer to the vibrations of the media that interact with these forces. The composition of the media is gross matter. These interactions can be detected by our senses and can be measured by instruments made by humans. Collectively these forces are referred to as ethers. This is not associated with the ether you may be familiar with that chemists employ in their research. The name is the same but is used in a different field of study and hence has an entirely different meaning. How is it their are five types? They are produced by splitting breath by matter. This matter is called Prakariti. When breath blows upon Prakariti a series of different vibratory modes are established. This can be envisioned as the action of light being slowed down by a geometrical prism. Different colors of light can be observed. Albeit the conditions to observe this are difficult to observe unless proper designs must be incorporated. Therefore Prakariti allows the breath to be diffracted, (here the meaning is slow down) into different vibrations as an analogy. Each of these ethers slow at different rates of vibration when encountering Prakariti. This shows that what we call Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are not a mere statement. They relate to our being. These elements are involved in thought and are used in the creation of life and the cosmos. You need to know this as you interact with them on a day and night basis. In addition to presenting different vibratory modes these elements, also called Tattvas, also are imbued with different functions. Thus the interaction of Prakariti also results in the creation of function. The various names of these elements are tabulated for the reader’s convenience. Tattva Ether Sense 1 Akasha Sonoriferous Sound 2 Vayu Tangiferous Touch 3 Tejas Luminiferous Color 4 Apas Gustiferous Taste 5 Prithivi Odoriferous Smell Direction of Motion of the Ethers The motion of Akasha is radial in the plane of the page The motion of Vayu is acute angles to the plane of the page Apas ether is in the shape of a half moon. The direction is vertical motion in the downward direction of the page. Prithivi contains four angles. This ether moves in the transverse direction of a wave. In this case the wave is in the same plane as the page. These ethers are not known to be pure components. This means that the Vayu is not composed of 100% Vayu. There is a mixing process involving all of the ethers. this mixing process is called Panchikarana. The composition of each ether can be represented by the formulae involving 1/2 of the major ether component +1/8 of the 4 remaining ether components. Formulas can be constructed for each of these ethers. Akasha = Akasha/2 + Vayu/8 + Tejas/8 + Apas/8 + Prithivi/8 Vayu = Vayu/2 + Akasha/8 + Tejas/8 + Apas/8 + Prithivi/8 Tejas = Tejas/2 + Akasha/8 + Vayu/8 + Apas/8 + Prithivi/8 Apas = Apas/2 + Akasha/8 + Vayu/8 + Tejas/8 + Prithivi/8 Prithivi = Prithivi/2 + Akasha/8 + Vayu/8 + Tejas/8 + Apas/8

The continue baffling of the sciences only wastes time for humanity. Time is precious that we can agree upon. What to work on that is where we tend to diverge. A modest suggestion would be to get to know the definitions first. Beginners are often encouraged to learn the glossary before delving into uncharted waters. Lets begin with some easy information. The Father of the children. He means different things depending on where we look. Since families are often referred to the metaphor of a tree. Lets ask where is Noah on the Tree of Life. In that case Noah refers to the monad Ego. This particular Monad refers to The three Sephira that forms a triangle in the middle level of the Tree. It consists of ATMA, BUDDHI, and CASUAL bodies. One must realize when the word Monad is thrown around that their are many Monads. This then requires people to ask a question. Which Monad are you talking about? Solar or Lunar for starters? This is a precaution to the students of Truth when they search out information. Having established Noah, what of his wife? She is associated with her husband. Therefore she is known as the Beautiful portion of the relationship. This is the Sephira Beauty, or Tiphereth in hebrew. She is the CASUAL body in the previously describe Monad. What than of the offspring? Do they wear beards as in their pictures? They would appear awkward if you actually knew what these brothers represent. Shem, Ham, and Japheth are the three vehicles of personality. They are respectively The mental, emotional, and the physical components. This earth shattering moment will lead to much discovery and possibly a book and movie contract. The disclosure answers a lot of questions. Now we can rest easy about having to try and figure out what does mental look like, and how tall was emotion. The often nagging question was Japheth supportive of his siblings needs not to be answered? How about their wives? The wives refer to where the seat of personality exists. The three attributes of personality will involve three different locations. This concept comes from the sanskrit word Saktis. The wives correspond to the bodily organs that are home to this personality. Therefore the Brain is the wife of Shem which is the seat of mental activity. The Heart is the wife of Ham. The nerves in the cardiac organ is the location of emotional thoughts. The nerves in the reproductive organs is the wife of Japheth. You may have heard about the Osiris myth. The story consists of a family of three. These include Osiris, his trusted consort Isis, and their Child Horus. What of the family before them? There were far older deities in the Pantheon. This family does not get much attention. In order to understand our thought process and the evolution of consciousness we need to know more about these myths and how they apply to ourselves. Many of us experience the emotion of a conflict ranging inside is. We feel that we are the innocent bystanders of this process. The desire to end this is a universal feeling. What then is it really and how can it be stopped so that we can emerge from this cocoon and evolve? The earlier deity system involved two entities. They were a Mother and Son. The Mother was called Typhon and the Son was called Sut. This will appear at first hearing strange to those familiar with the far later myth. There are many questions when one looks at mythology. Here are some we should be considering. What is the deity of Sut? What are the attributes? I have no knowledge as to what the duties and responsibilities of sut are to nature. What emotion does sut represent in the human psyche? Sut means The Opener To assuage your discomfort and point out why there is no light. The truth will be revealed. A cosmic force is nameless. We can identify such a force by the fractional amount of the elements in their making. This will of course prevent no misunderstanding. The difficulty then is how to mentally focus on 1/5 water, 1/5 air, 1/5 earth, 1/5 fire, and 1/2 quintessence? There may be a few out there that have no difficulty. The solution to avoid abstract concepts was develop names images and colors for the mind to gain access to worlds that these forces have control of. Research has gone into the evolution of the names of the entities. This has been documented and provides for some interesting reading. The modifications are far more numerous than imaged. Much is often left out of discussions. Therefore a false sense exist as to how much is understood in a well informed society. Therefore in the study of the functioning of the mind it is required to know the concepts that these deities represent. The duality of mother and child In the beginning was a mother and her child. The Egyptian story appears different to our ears and eyes. Despite this this dual form of divinity is not so strange. The concept and image is all around us. This duality is preserved in the Christian tradition by the Madonna and child portrait. This image relates really to the Typhon and her child Sut. Eventually when the Osiris myth was established the image of mother and child was replaced by the goddess Isis caring for her child the baby Horus.” At the time of Christian development it was these images that were borrowed for the Christ child and his Mother. Twins The baby Horus has in fact a twin within. This can ultimately be related to Sut. This is why there is only one child in the Madonna image. We experience in our state a distortion. To view a world in the fourth dimension as clearly as we do the third is like trying to figure out that a circle is really a sphere. This description itself is cryptic. Without a path opened by clear vision through the application of meditation then the only tempting one is in the physical world. Yet there we can not find the answer that we seek. This leads to more frustration. The Twins are found on the Tarot cards and refers to specific paths along the branches of the Tree of Life. The card of the Sun shows the pair in front of a wall. This is the correct version of the key and is necessary when the cards are laid along the 32 paths of wisdom on the Tree. Other forms lead to difficulty in interpreting the meaning of the paths, and prevent the proper transitions required by the operator. Purification of thoughts The Alchemists refer to the Great Work. Only by wisdom do we lead to understanding. The key requires purification. It is the process to end distortion. We are restricted by a narrow outlook. This produces a limited view. When the light of Truth is experienced then no darkness can exist and hence no shadow. This process then aims to unite the Microcosm and the Macrocosm. This is known as earthly person uniting with their heavenly twin. Therefore the application of light will show that there is no duality as well as no trinity. There is only unity. This is displayed in the Pillars of the Temple of Solomon. The Pillars of Severity and Mercy represent the Sut-Horus conflict. The Middle Pillar represents the choice of balance. The method to bring about unity involves the marriage of the kingdom (The physical body) and the equilibrium Sephiroth called Beauty. This marriage results in the daughter of the kingdom to become the mother and marry the father. Once the pillars are established the Temple of Solomon is built. This is what is meant by the construction of the temple. This is an individual process. The pillar of Severity (old name was pillar of strength) provides a check for unwanted behavior. The energy used for strength is under the control of the higher self. An exercise used by Adepts. One of the techniques that is to be mastered along with other exercises before the Great Work can begin. Background Story I knew a man who did not understand the holy texts of his religion. The word Holy refers to purification of mental thoughts. It is your meditation. Your thoughts alone. This is to remove spurious musing from the mind when reading such texts. He confided in me that he and his group of enthusiasts aimed to scare a group of people into submission of the doctrines of his faith Little did he or the members realize that their source of text was merely instructions on various yoga exercises design to help the mind, spine and nervous system evolve. The Book of Revelation (The following vision described) Twenty-four Elders (originally translated as Twenty-four Ancients) were continuously casting their crowns down to the ground before God and then taking them up again. This is a description to an exercise known as the Fountain of Breath. The Elders here mean the Lords of Light and implies the solar energy of the Sun. Why is this exercise performed? To do so brings forth an energy called Chaiah. Notice the similar pronunciation in the word for energy called Qi. The word Chiah is known as life-energy of the Limitless-Light. The same light that emanates from the star on top of the tree of life. This Chaiah constitutes our higher self. The importance of this exercise is that it provides a connection to our God-Head from the conscious mind. This establishes a link to aid you in the day to day affairs. You will find that this also will improve your meditations as you grow. To perform this exercise an image of the Tree of Life must be superimposed upon the body. A previous exercise trains the operator to visually imagine all the Sephira on the Tree of Life with all the paths constructed. This image must be visualized to be seen on the body and the parts identified by imaging a color code at a moments notice for each portion of the tree. Beginners are advised to draw as well as have images of the Tree of Life in their work areas. Continue glances will aid the mind in this process. You have to see the symbols clearly to succeed in this work on yourself. The Sephira in line with the concept of the sun are described as emanations. In psychology they are associated with the attributes of personality. This shows that the label of the Sephira can be chosen at the whim of the operator to suit their needs or if they desire to align with the tradition they want to practice. This makes the Tree of Life personal. Hence it relates to your thoughts. The diagram lists the Sephira 1-10 superimposed on the physical body. In the diagram the 1 means the Crown or Kether in Hebrew. 10 means the kingdom or Malkuth in Hebrew. To begin you must shift your attention toward the Crown center known as Kether, labelled 1 in the diagram. With all your might focus your conscious thoughts on this region and start to imagine a fountain issuing forth a pure light of Great Brilliance. Next imagine this light cascading around you in all directions so as to envelop you and form a large pool at your feet. This light will enter the center location labelled 10. This of course is known as Malkuth. During the attention at Kether exhale breath for a count of four [1...2...3...4...5]. The count will be different when you consider the sephira at your feet. During the attention when focused on Malkuth give a count of two [1...2]. The process repeats but the focus is on the other sephira. This time with an inhaled breath with a count of four imagine that a white light emanating from the bottom of Malkuth, labelled 10, begins to issue forth the colors of the rainbow. This is a return path of the light. Imagine the white light being dispersed in the physical body where the kingdom resides. Allow for this multicolored light to travel slowly up from Malkuth at 10, along the bold face vertical line representing the spinal column. The next sephira to receive graciously this gift is Foundation or Yesod labelled 9. After this the next level is Beauty, or Tiphereth, labelled 6 and corresponds to the solar plexus. The next destination of this rainbow is at the throat region. Not numbered but is called Daath and refers to the Tree of knowledge. To complete the cycle allow the rainbow to enter to the Kether, or Crown. Apply your focus here and add a further count of two [1...2]. With the next exhalation the process repeats starting with the white light emanating at the crown. It is recommended to perform 10 cycles. Further Reading The Art of True Healing by Israel Regardie Language astounds us. Is it wonderful that so many different ways exist to say the same thing? The sounds uttered are musical notes. Indeed those do not realize that the context of different musical scales arise out of different languages. The transformation function between words and notes must surely exist. Talking and singing are very close relatives. Allow me to show just how close this gap really is. Consider this painting by Pieter Bruegel. The Father, not the Son. The Arches give it away that we are asked to consider the Mind. The Arch so resembles the brain case. It also relates to the doorway that each Sephira on the Tree of Life point to. Imagine going through one of those doors and crossing over what is called a Threshold......The presence of land and water......These archetypes clearly show that this is an Alchemical painting. Imagine Adam Kadom standing in place of the tower. One foot on land, one foot on water. The Left Foot on Land, The Right Foot on Water. Artwork that has staying power and hence may end up in a museum of Great Works (Hence your Work space, your altar) must have Archetypes that the HIGHER MIND THIRSTS for. It is unusual that this tower resembles a spiral staircase. There are many ways to depict a tower. Why would any Artist give birth to the idea of presenting an esoteric concept as Babel in this way? The concept has been repeated yet in a different Art form. You can understand this by examining the bones and flesh inside the ear. The terms applied in the construction is the same as in the painting. The exquisite architectures are referred to as Scala. This is the italian word for Stairs. Indeed the Cochlea of the ear is built with rooms. One is able to imagine that if such a structure were built what kind of acoustics would the building have. Would it be terrible? Would it be so so? Would it be Spectacular? Could Babel be built? What if speakers or headphones were made with the same Topology? We live in amazing times. What If? There is a Vestibule just like any concert hall. One has to wonder how is it that a metaphoric structure related to communication as well as implying the human body is also represented in paintings and anatomy of the Ear. An organ involved in receiving messages and providing feedback in talking or doing Art. This can be in the process of making Art, Or Sensing Art, Or Studying Art. The detailed description of the Tower does not imply the Ear. It describes the human body. Nimrod was after the application of knowledge that was leant by visiting the local library. This is the rational approach. You will observe that the Medicinal Chemists have sounded the end of the Drug creation by way of the rational drug design approach. They have returned to their roots. That is by mixing a combination of Mind, and idea and Experiment. They have left behind the purely Nimrod way of thinking. This is why the tower fell. It implies the unbalanced approach of using only one hand. In the future we must not be of right handed nor must we be Left handed. We must be AMBIDEXTROUS. That is the way of the Adept. In the future it will be shown that through the study of Linguistics there will be a concept of handedness in the way our minds process thoughts. This handedness will be similar in concepts as is applied by Medicinal Chemists when they encounter Drugs which have pharmacologic properties that behave under the concept of handedness. There will indeed be thoughts provoked by sounds with a left or right topology. This will be proven to be why we may enter or leave a trance as the result of a specific sound. This sound can originate from language or music. Again another painting of the uncompleted building. You will observe that their are figures at the lower left corner. Pay attention to those figures dressed in the material in orange or reddish orange fabric. They are not different figures. They are the same figure but in different mental states of development. The many figures very far in the distance close to the building are of the builder class. They are Carpenters, masons, glazers. They are of the Artisan class. They represent us in our various states of development. Our lives of incarnation. The developmental path to the Adept. This is what the construction of the Tower of Babel is about: Evolution! There is an additional figure in the background that deserves mention. This one is dressed in a dark conical hat, and wears an elaborate tunic. The details are hard to make out. The left figure, holding the orange cloak, appears jubilant, excited, Happy, and is starting out on a journey. Do you know why? Do you realize who the figure in black is with the hands in the akimbo position? This dark figure is the Teacher. The Teacher does not follow the Student to the promised land. The figure stays behind. This is why Moses does not follow the crowd, but reminds behind. A brief study of geometry is required! Indeed note that a right handed curve could be drawn from figure 1, to figure 2, then figure 3, and finally unto figure 4. This was intentional. The Great Tower also has a right handed topology. A right spiral axis. Viewed from the top of the Uncompleted Tower one would see a right handed swirl pattern. This pattern represents on the Tree of Life the path joining Kether the Crown to Chokmah. It is also called the Aleph. The symbol of the Ox. The poor resolution of the painting where the plain and hill interface occurs symbolizes the Threshold where ideas manifest into the physical world. It is also the beginning of our journey to connect Heaven with Earth. This is called The Path Of Return. If we observe carefully in the distance just where the plain ends and the hill begins you will notice three dim figures carrying lumber. The wood, they carry makes them appear as people with their arms stretch out forming the apparent representation of three crosses. The shape of the hill that these three people stand upon is sculpted much like a skull. You intentionally cannot see all these three apparent crosses as a fourth figure is coming toward you. This one bears no lumber. He is free of the cross. He is taken down from the cross. This one is not of the builder class anymore. The builder is what Plato called the Demiurge. The Demiurge is represented on the Tree of Life by Chokmah, in English this is called Wisdom. This particular figure, coming toward us, has transformed. Who than is this figure? Can you Guess? How then does the mind transform? This can be through meditation. This is shown by having the figures move upward to higher ground. The implication is that internal reflection is the way to achieve this. You will notice the change is not occurring by external influences, but by inside experiences. This painting emphases that there is no taking required, only thinking. The construction of our world does not begin with I can’t do that. It begins with I am on the way of becoming a new entity. The process requires sincerity. Back to the pair of figures The figure on the right dressed in black, with the conical hat and white fringe has the Key to access the Kundalini. The rather happy figure is us. When we first encounter the rise of the Kundalini through our spine it is a Joyous feeling. Image 1 This image represent the Mineral state of Mind. The elevation is different for each of the four figures. This is why the Mineral state is much lower in the picture. The figure bearing the orange cape. Is trying to put the fabric on at the same time they are running up the hill. Image 2 This image represents the Vegetable State of Mind. The elevation is slightly higher and the figure has better resolution to the viewer. The Mental state of the viewer is that of the Adept, one of the future incarnations, not yet revealed. This viewpoint refers to our Higher Mind. We view the painting by meditation, and thereby connect to the lower elevations. Hence the physical planes. This is why Luke mentions Jesus comes down from the mountain onto the plains before the Beatitudes are delivered to the listeners. Notice the shield and spear. These two tools indicates mental control over the reproduction ganglion and spinal column as directed in the Upanishads. The hat signifies the pineal gland is activated and the bread is rising. The painting depicts the initial activation of the Pineal Gland. Another activation will be necessary before final control can be achieved. Image 3 This image represents the Animal State of Mind. Notice the right hand is over the heart, and the left hand, has the palm down. In the Tarot card of the Magician the same hand is presented. This shows control over the lower minds by the higher mind is completed, but not that of the heart. The cardiac nerves still are not under supervision by the higher mind. The elevation is quite high compare to the previous figures 1 and 2, and the resolution is much much better. The hair signifies the Lion and flames of the Sun. Image 4 This represent the Human State of Mind Notice the Sword, this is the symbol of control over the cardiac nerves. This transformation is the highest possible that Nimrod can obtain. Also notice the hat the figure wears. The shape signifies that control is by the Lamb of God. The Pineal Gland. This figure has the hand in the same direction as that of the Magician, but the figures are not yet in agreement. More work has to be down on the Path. A seemingly uneventful image added to a painting actually is the most important part. This description also explains why the Artist chose to paint beside the Great tower two smaller towers as seen below in a clearer view. Can you arrive at their purpose? These twin towers contain the sacred spinal fluid. This is no ordinary Babel for the metaphor of the painting is that the top is not yet finished. Just as the figure holding the sword is not yet finished. Can you guess what is the next tool the figure must obtain, and what is the next Mental State of Evolution? The Top of the tower just as the mind is not developed yet. This exemplifies our state of evolution has not ended. It is merely the beginning. The Artist plays the critical role which the Electrical Engineer often calls the Transducer concept. The Transducer is able to unite two different worlds. It behaves currently as a one way translator. If you use a cell phone to read this article than you are using a transducer, the screen, the material inside the screen transforms touch into electrical impulses. By touching the screen the resistance changes and hence the current flow will change. This varying amounts of current is a language. Like varying frequency for different words or different notes, or different colors on a painting. Just imagine using your touch to change your thoughts. The development of a two way translator is a step toward a universal translator. Imagine talking with people without complicated systems...Oh Hi......I was just thinking of YOU, and here you are. The Banyan tree! Above is a model of the brain and spinal cord. This tree is a metaphor for the mind and Nervous system in esoteric texts. A series of shocks causes us to awaken. At this point in spiritual development we may fall asleep again. We also can awaken so as to remain awake from further shocks. There is a song passage by a group called the Wild Moccasins, a group in America, the words are---”Please do not let me fall asleep---” These words are appearing in song just as the reminders to awaken occur in esoteric texts. At this point our conscious starts to realize that their is a higher and lower self. The higher self has been trying to reach us. The susceptibility can vary. None are immune to the effect. An artist pious in thoughts may sense that their is more going on than in the physical world. The pull from the higher-self can be great. The conscious state often finds itself in a new perspective. At point we become meditative automatically. The process no longer becomes a ritual. There will be longer periods of isolation possible in your schedule. Information will come to you as if by magic. That is why you are reading this article. At this stage you are wondering what lies ahead along this journey. The next step is a sensitivity to perceiving the higher worlds of the mind. This involves Occult vision training. In order to see by occult vision we must grow the organs of clairvoyant seeing. That is right...grow! This requires incubation. Just as with all life forms. Heat is needed from the sun to initiate the growth of plants in the spring. The egg requires warmth from the Mother. The source of our psychic energy is the Sun. This is why various traditions take great pains to determine when Easter occurs and when the spring equinox occurs. To be aware of this provides an explanation as to why there are so many solar observatories on the earth produced by various cultures at various times. Thus the ever popular ancient space aliens are our ourselves. Even now there is a movement comprised of scientist, yogis, and religious groups meeting to discuss the precessional shift of the earth’s axis and how it influences the coming equinoxes and solstices. Upon the reading of the articles in this blog you will come to understand that physicians, neuroscientists, endocrinologists, psychologists, and astrologists would be interested in this topic as well. The organs involved in clairvoyant vision are created by our thoughts and feelings produced when we consciously concentrate our attention on the living processes going on around us. This may be subtle. Yet at this point you must remember your are in a contemplative mood. The chatter is subdued because you are climbing the mountains. These are referenced in esoteric texts and metaphorically mean meditation. The reason that this works can be understood by examining the Tree of Life. It represents the climbing metaphor. Each orb called a Sephira, 1-10, is an entrance to a new mental state. These can be thought of as ornaments, stars, or fruits on the tree if it helps you understand what these gateways refer to. Our formation of thoughts in our mind follow a path through these gates. The metaphor of a lightbulb going off to imply an idea is known as the lightening path. Now that you are familiar with the Tree you will begin to become aware in how to use the Tree in coming up with your thoughts. These Sephira of fruits hanging upon the Tree influence each other. This allows us to travel up and down the tree on a conscious effort. How is this then possible? Simple consider your physical body and your thoughts. Where are your thoughts displayed upon your body? This is because your thoughts are operating and hence existing in a different world than your physical body, 10. The dimensions, and laws, and sensations are all different from each other. Initially when we begin to utter the personal pronoun I in our respective languages to our parents and friends we are accessing a different world. This is the world known as the Mental body, 7, or Victory in english and Netzach in hebrew. The meaning of the names will come when the functioning of the Tree is understood. This really can only occur by conscious effort. Notice in the above case you access a Sephira on the tree without being taught this is one aspect that has eluded European philosophers of the 1600s. The argument of the Tabular Rasta only occurred when natural philosophers broke from the occult study an selected a narrow mechanical view. This was to create the Ghost in the Shell model without the Ghost. The implications have caused future generations much confusion. Later the Ghost was placed back into the model to adjust the failures and misunderstanding that were provoked. It is clear from this discussion that the mind uses the senses to climb the various domains. Therefore why is so difficult for some gateways to be reached without effort. This has to do with the period of evolution of the planet. It does not mean the individual is barred far from it. There are people with different levels of clairvoyance. Unfortunately they do not understand its meaning. They tend to focus on the physical earth, and not the higher levels. Only those that make an effort to study Spiritual Science will be able to make headway. Indeed their still is the continual effort to mistake nature spirits as manifestations of the ghost and paranormal world. Therefore for the student the pull of the material word must be counterbalanced by the spirit world. Otherwise there will be an unbalance state in the person. Our perception must involve active focus on both worlds. The effect of these spirits were incorporated into fables. Some of these fables have been reinterpreted into current films and new versions. Since the mind works with symbols the use of words must accompany images. The way to climb this Tree of life is known as the Path of Return. The vertical direction on the Tree can be imagined as a Energy. The horizontal is also a Energy but provides information on different ways we can utilize our thoughts. More on this will be described in a later article. The choice of Sephira, or gates to enter are described by an energy wave. In esoteric symbolism the wave is described by a snake, or serpent. The reader must be aware of this connection. The snake provides a path to connect the physical world with thought from 10 to 1. On another level of understanding it connects us with heaven. Combining the information onto the tree makes a complicated image. As seen below. During periods of sleep the conscious feels weak and confused. It does not know where to turn and believes all experiences are do to luck and misfortune. The process to bring change requires an understanding that change must occur with the Tree of Life. That requires internal mediation. Again it requires climbing the Tree. This step will lead to becoming familiar with all of its branches. To climb up and down easily along all the paths will ultimately follow. This is enough to keep you busy. What greater hobby is there then to Know Yourself.
Question how do stones, water, and plants appear in the spirit world? Stones are perceived to emit a blue or blue-red spiritual light. Animals are perceived to emit a red or sometimes red-yellow light. Plants emit a green light that changes gradually to a rose-pink as the color dissipates into the atmosphere. The elemental spirits of Water manage Plant growth and flower bud development. Air elemental spirits manage the activities that occur in summer and autumn Spirits that Distribute the work of the nature spirits. To provide the proper time of spring and summer. reside in the Astral body of the earth To perceive this astral body we must Remain conscious as we sleep. There is a series of veils. It has been mentioned that a Temple to the goddess of Isis in a Roman city had the message that her veil cannot be removed. These veils are what we in spiritual science must left and cross easily. this is our goal. The veil cannot be removed with hammers and screw drivers. The lifting can only occur by our minds. veil 1 separates the physical and the etheric world Veil 2 separates the etheric and the astral world Spirits of periods of the cycle of time of the earth. They are the bearers of the forces that cause the earth to rotate. During Spring the air spirits Saturate the earth. They are necessary for plants to grow. The planet spirit of the earth is a sensing organ that ensures the planet will be in the right relations with respect to other heavenly bodies. Further Reading Exercises on clairvoyance development provided below. How to Attain Knowledge of the Higher Worlds by Rudolf Steiner Water means consciousness. The buildings refer to brain structures. The Sun our Psyche. The reflected sunlight our soul upon the consciousness.
The meaning of this word is not disclosed by the reading of the text. More information has to be provided. The process of invoking the alien fetish comes from attempts to apply scientific methods without being able to find information that fits a mechanistic viewpoint. This then begs the question what will be the hypothesis and how will the experiment be design and carried out. Such questions are not asked because it is known this is an impossible way of approach. This then bars the search for lost cities and ancient languages as how will the language be translated? A more simple solution is required. The Sun is a symbol of the psyche. Our sense organs of sight, smell, hearing as well as our ability to speak are all designed to face one side of the body . In esoteric texts this is referred to as the East. Consequently the side of the body bearing the backbone and spinal column is referred to as West. This is important as they are translated as compass directions. These directions have dramatic effects on society. The directions describe in these texts are used in the design of temples, theater stages, altars, shrines, homes, and so on. Ask yourself why are their few windows on the north side of a house? This is also the reason why when we the audience face a stage we face north. The performers look with their sense organs at the audience facing south. The wings of the stage are east and west like a cross. The stage is a group representation of the city of Jerusalem described in the Apocalypse of Johanne (Meaning the revealing of Johanne). How then can this be when texts refer to the top of the head as North? The source of the misunderstanding can be explained away by the realization that there are two coordinate systems. This means that there are two frames of reference. One is for the body and one is for the stage. One will realize what this means in the case of the theater stage their are no doors in the wall facing north. This is because the deity uses the north entrance. A tradition of theater often has the curtain bow of the lead character enter from the center stage through the curtain. This is the heroine/hero receiving thanks at the altar for the deity. In the case of the body the North of the head is regarded as Sacred. In cultures of South East Asia the head is not to be touched in jest. This emphasizes our holiness. The reason for this custom is to always remind us of our origins and our home. The delights of the world can make us forget, as we fall asleep. Being aware of these concepts will enable us to address the lack of windows on the north face of the house. The sun as it makes its course in the sky varies from east to west. Our sense organs are designed to respond to the sun. Again the north face of the house is reserved for the deity that is why the door to our home is often on the east side. This is to emphasize the connection of the psyche to the direction of the sun. The sun is the metaphor for light. Our head has a light represented by a halo or aura. In some representations this is represented by the goddess Joshi as a flame upon a staff. The staff represents the spinal column. The word Melchizedek refers to an honorific. It can be translated as hail to Sedek. The meaning can also be in english as a wish for power to Sedek. This is like a toast at a party. The desire to wish your friend long life. We are told that Melchizedek is a Prince of Salem. This implies he is a ruler. What then is the origin of Sedek? This can be found in looking at Egyptian texts. Here we discover that Sedek is the father of the seven builder gods. These gods are called Cabiri. They are the intelligences of the planets. These have the significance to our bodies in that they correspond to the seven glandular networks in our bodies which are controlled by seven different nervous systems. This makes Sedek a solar deity. This is further emphasized in that his hair color is described as red. The color of the sun as it being to sets during the summer. The land of Sedek, His kingdom, is the solar plexus. אַנְפּ֙וֹהִי֙ אֶשְׁתַּנִּ֔י (כתיב אֶשְׁתַּנִּ֔ו) עַל־שַׁדְרַ֥ךְ מֵישַׁ֖ךְ וַֽעֲבֵ֣ד נְג֑וֹ עָנֵ֚ה וְאָמַר֙ לְמֵזֵ֣א לְאַתּוּנָ֔א חַ֨ד־שִׁבְעָ֔ה עַ֛ל דִּ֥י חֲזֵ֖ה לְמֵֽזְיֵֽהּ: The SEVEN times gives it away. This is pure alchemy. Take three beings and place them inside a furnace. Cook at high heat for two days. Then simmer for 1 week. Remove from oven when four beings are produced. This rather odd recipe is from the Book of Daniel. What is not widely known about this book is that the text was written in two languages. One is cuneiform, the written language of the Arkkadians. This unique book demonstrates it is possible for two cultures to mix peacefully and produce a new way of thinking. This can be expressed as new tools, new art, like a renaissance. It would seem that these events have happen many times on our earth. (See Time Spirits) What exactly does the book of Daniel referred to when it describes a furnace. This specifically is a reference to the human body. This is the vessel used as a cooking pot. The entities used in the recipe are as real as you are real. They describe worlds or if you like mental states. They are sometimes called quite correctly worlds, or beings. This latter description has resulted in confusion for those who take literal interpretations. It is not correct to assume the authors of these texts were seeking ways to hide information. As our orb travels through her course in the heavens the orb of your own eye travels. If you were to examine someone else’s eye you will notice it is not stationary in its socket. The anatomy of the eye includes the word orbit. This is not a coincidence. The eye appears to orbit. Slight motions can be detected by another viewer’s eye. If you have never observed this. Try it now with a friend. Notice how orb can imply a heavenly body, and eye, and the visual activity of the thalamus in the brain. This is just one example of how metaphors are applied in esoteric texts. In such works the meaning is always directed toward the mind and physiology of the being. It is not intended to be taken literally. This is a common problem of interpreters, and scholars. The combined efforts make understanding difficult. What then are these worlds that are placed in the human body and cooked to produce a fourth world. They have names. They are called Etheric, Mental, and Astral. I referred to them as worlds to avoid confusion with using the word body. We are not cooking people. The individual is forging communication links to these worlds by mediating. This is the heating process. What is the fourth world? This is the Causal world. From this description it can be understood what the book of Daniel is conveying. It is the art of alchemy. One can appreciate the analogy of the human body as a furnace. The alchemical term is Athanor and the concept comes from the alchemical cylinders that were found in the Chaldean cities. Eliphas Levi wrote that the Athanor was a chemical instrument that we all possessed. He went on to mention that its purpose was to separate the subtle from the gross and the fixed from the volatile. This describes the removal of what is not true self from your personality. Your higher being.The process of the Athanor is represented by the image of a five pointed star. This description points to the name of the fourth body produced inside the furnace. The exact meaning of Athanor is essence brought about through fire. The hebrew pronunciation is eth-ha-nour. The arabic pronunciation is al-tannoor. The process demands a slow burning, rather than a rapid heating. This is a case where faster is not better. Therefore this vessel known as the human body has the capability of extracting the essence using fire. What is this essence? The human body extracts the radiant energy of the sun present in food. The process of digestion releases this inherent energy brought about by photosynthesis. The power derived from food is what esotericists call quintessence. That is the fifth element of the tattvas. In the west it is referred as Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Quintessence. These elements will obey a well balanced mind. Such a person is given the title of Sage. They cannot do good nor can they do evil. They do not stand at the center of a cross but are spread arms and legs apart as a five pointed star with their head lighted by a spiritual fire making one of the points.

Mental - This is the source of both the idea of the operation and the will to carry it out successfully. Astral - The form of the operation. Physical - The starting point, the symbols to be used and how it is carried out. Side Note (A trip to the East) In China it is called metal and is represented by the number 5 to imply it is the fifth element. In China this aspect is implied in the society. An advertisement for a hardware store is the number five. It is difficult to explain why five means hardware without the “hidden knowledge” that five refers to metal. The series in China is Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, and Metal. The local explanation is that hardware stores contained 5 kinds of metals. The Black Dragon and Organic Farming Once the Quintessence is extracted into the small intestine the remaining material passes through the large intestine. This solid is called the black dragon. The black dragon that resides in the bowels of the earth is a metaphoric description. The substance is still useful as it can be used as fertilizer to grow plants. That in turn assists in the production of flowers and fruits. This is the basis of organic produce. Notice how the alchemist is concern with sustainability and health at the point of food intake to the point of producing food in the soil. The process of elimination is regulated by constellation of Virgo. Respiration (All you require is Air) The use of Air by way of respiration is achieved by the lungs. In alchemy this is called the bellows. At this stage the Prana energy can be obtained from the Quintessence by fanning the fire in the lungs. The Throne of Mercy is supported by 4 columns of light. These are a white light from which a Green light, and a Red light, and a Yellow light can be obtained. The Cosmic Throne of Mercy rests upon these 4 columns of light. This throne relates to the Pineal Gland The different colors allows access by one's own volition. Just as a painter selects color from a pallet. This is a powerful way for the conscious mind to connect with the subconscious and supraconscious worlds. We can gain insight on mental function from this colorful description. Our decisions are aways processed through four levels of reasoning. These are identified as archetypes and managed by 4 spirits of light known as archangels. The command structure is based on evaluating each thought through a world of intelligence whereby a framework is created. This is filtered by the desires of the soul and spirit. The plan is initiated in the world of nature. A series of cycles results in a projected thought or also called a treasure. The guiding intelligences are known as Gabriel, Michael, Azrael, and Seraphiel. Do thoughts reside inside us or are they external? People engaged in the pursuit of where these mental entities exist can find a lead in Koran (15:21). "There are no things whose treasures do not exist alongside us." Where did angels and the mind originate? We have a clue in the heavens. The Zend Avesta is a text that describes the eyes of the creator to reside on the stars. They watch. They are the archetypes of the creator's mind. One particular Angel resides on the pole star. This angel is referred to as Gabriel. “The man to whom Nature begins to reveal her open secret feels an irresistible longing for her most worthy interpreter — Art.” Goethe Here the word man means mind from the Sanskrit word manas. Better to insert the word mind. The mind to whom Nature begins to reveal her open secret feels an irresistible longing for her most worthy interpreter. By stimulating all the senses the cranial nerves become active. This makes the mind communicate. An abstract alphabet does not fully use all the senses. Art does! This is the reason why some feel bored with a topic. The discovery when light interacts wth flesh “Goethe had to pack up the instruments, so he quickly took the prism, thinking that if light is broken up by a prism he would take a look at it on the wall. He expected that the light would appear neatly divided into seven colors—but color appeared only where there was some kind of edge, where there was a muddy spot on the wall, so that the muddiness, the darkness, collided with the brightness. There he could see colors if he looked through the prism, but where there was an even white he saw nothing. Then Goethe became suspicious and lost his faith in the whole theory.“ The Light Course 1920 / by Rudolf Steiner Mostly Goethe saw light unaffected. No experiment exists on the web that reproduces what Goethe observed. Only theory is presented. Experiments are made to fit the theory. This is odd in a world that emphasizes a scientific approach.
