To be a chosen initiate on the path requires more than a vision from the higher self. Approach is about how to alter thought. Take for the existence of the various mystery schools. To penetrate the hard exterior separating the esoteric from the exoteric think of a cathedral as being designed to map yourself. Hieldegard Von Bingen pointed out there exists uninhabited spaces in the dwellings of soul and physical body simply because our view is occulted. Thus to make a structure conceived by the saturnine forces of architecture appeal to all worlds there must exist hidden places. The recesses in these designs are identified in English by the Greek word κρυπτός or Kruptos. The English is spelled crypt and is used in the imagination of function writers. Fantasy role players are all the more intrigued about what may go on here. This is a manifestation of our own desire to find out about what goes on in ourselves. To explore a crypt is the act of ritual. Those involved experience a change of hour. They feel excited for a moment as they are drawn. The words relic hunter, and treasure hunter sometimes are employed. The soul possesses many treasures. When visiting the inner regions of the underground vaults a new type of silence will inhabit your emotions. This is the same effect if your were to walk upon your very own innards. The actions of the creator appear in this very region. To be in a cathedral space surrounded by the enormous broad pillars feels just as you were walking beside the bones that support your physical body. Now realize the design of the body mirror the structure of the mind. A cathedral therefore provides information about the mind through representing structures and substances found in the body. This information can appear in stain glass in the form of figure displayed with the word mercury. A statute of a rose, A chalice, all reflect that which goes into you. The Art may appear foreign. How often have you though about the liver? The organs associated with the liver are given the title the court of the Yellow Emperor. In the orient treatises are written about this figure. Western esotericism views the soul as a visitor of the liver. A close examination of this statue reveals a surprise. The child includes a mudra. Such works of art are valuable when the viewer performs the mudra along with the images. A dynamic approach to learning achieves the glories promised. The facial impressions are carved for a reason. They are for the viewer to employ in their exercises. The Martial Art of the Mind The initiate may chose as a way from the physical to the spiritual a martial art of moving about the hidden chambers of a Gothic cathedral. A series of breathing exercises perhaps are part of this. This part or of the exercise is followed by portions of meditations. Simplicity of course is always best. The lower mind seeks union with the higher mind. At one of these locations it was customary to observe a black isis statue. An image of art to represent a natural process in the body. A substance as a metaphor to be as black as night with the light concentrated within. The bowels of body just as the bowels of a temple are hidden from view. These holy places are sanctified and must be regarded as such for they are not only involved in physical work but that of the mind. The spiritual. The mysteries must be obtained rather than assumed someone else will obtain the answer for you. These statues often had inscriptions such as Virgini pariturae. A much more descriptive text bears the phrase: Isidi, sue Virgini ex qua filius proditurus. It take great endeavor to learn the mysteries you are seeking begin with your nervous system. In a material driven age there is a strong urge to make a blood vessel have a name, face, and a personality. Well before these statues were built there was a series of monuments that had the Latin name Virgo paritura. This represented in a ritual the virgin earth before the rays of the Sun were to achieve fecundation. The connection of making soil suitable for planting, growing, and harvesting was connected to hermeticism. Before any thinking can occur your goal must be related to the intake of food. Nourishment is the mother of all gods. All forces involved in the physical body, soul, and spirit need the first matter. Some of these statues were found to contain the words: Matri deum, magnae ideae. The alchemist speak highly of their black matter. It is a stone that exists in the mineral state and can be obtained from ore-bearing strata. Because of this the material is delicate. It can easily shatter into minute fragments. The stone that the child holds. Your tasks are great for we have grown to be complacent. The very meaning behind these statues is a connection to your body and mind. There are in fact two images and hence two substances. The comprehension of this requires hermetic study. Such beauty in art expresses there is something inside you far deeper than realized. To bring first matter to the surface is the initiate's journey into the hidden rooms of the cathedral. This substance is as real as you are. It is a fire you can hold in your hands and yet it will not burn you. A combination of 12 salts from the tissues that can flow in your blood. A substance of mineral origin that can shatter into minute pieces.
The salts associated with the body are Calcium Fluoride, Calcium Phosphate, Calcium Sulphate, Iron Phosphate, Potassium Chloride, Potassium Chloride, Potassium Phosphate, Potassium Sulphate, Magnesium Phosphate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Phosphate, Sodium Sulphate, Silicon Dioxide. These are the the treasures of the earth that make the stone possible. A living structure involves a mineral scaffold. The body contains many substances. The stone traverses the fluids of the body. An understanding of how this stone functions in the body. The First Matter is the stone that is Mercury, it is cast upon the Earth, exalted on the Mountains. resides in the Air, and is nourished in the Waters. The mountains are of course the nerve centers. The waters is the bodily fluids such as the blood. Why have a statue of a woman? The first matter is tied to what keeps you animated. it is the life force.

The question is never addressed despite 6 constellations are devoted to the rescuer of andromeda. Some of the decans in Aquarius, and Pisces are involved as well as all of the decans of Aries. The three alchemical operations of multiplication, projection, and calcination are performed in the Perseus mystery. In turn the name of the hero is the base for one of the root races. With such a plethora of branches this subject is worth a deeper study. We know that Perseus is the ruler of a city in Egypt called Memphis. This relatively simple statement is of a deeper significance. It points to a clue about the nature of Perseus. The city of Memphis is the occult word for the head of the physical body. This ruler takes on a personal significance. The story of riding a flying horse over a place called Libya means a conscious ritual. A hidden process to benefit the health and awaken spiritually to the higher mind. This information is known to the initiate of the higher mystery who chooses to wake up. The Egyptian name is Kar Knem. We are promised two aspects a fight and a victory. The figure of Kar Knem is our inner self. The Babylonian name is the Shadow of Enlil. The constellation is depicted not as a young youth, but as an old man. Lessons from the Jewish literature. The mother of Perseus is a palm tree. The name Perseus is Peretz ( פרץ ). This is also spelled as Pharetz.. His brother is Zerah ( זרח ). This is also spelled Zanub. The mother is spelled Tamar. The hebrew is ( ת ָמר ). What needs to be understood is why the palm tree is so special. Any plant could have been used. The type of plant is significant. The unification of Tamar with Judah must occur early for the Sun and Moon are created after the egg begins to develop but way before the birth occurs. These events require fertilization. Once the cosmic egg is committed to produce a child the formation of the firmament and separation of the waters will be one of the early requirements. The stars and planets will need the winds so that they can influence the earth. Therefore to study Perseus it is wise to learn about the early part of the beginning. Gishimmaru is the generic Arkadian for date palm tree. Zikaru = Male date palm, Zinnishtu = Female date palm. The puzzle is although the word Tamar is understood the words involving Tamar are not clear. Judah as the heart produces two progeny. They are the Moon and the Sun. The moon was given a thread to hold when its hand emerged first. This is Peretz. Perseus is described as the Breaker. The second child that emerges first is the Sun and is called Zerach. The tarot key of Perseus is the four of wands. This information means that Perseus is associated with a nerve cluster. The descendants of Perseus are also in good standing.The figure known in Asia called Sikandar is the 38th descendant from Hercules. This figure is also related to Zeus by Perseus, Achilles, and Peleus. The terms of family must be overcome in order to realize how thoughts are formed during an event. From the Emerald Tablet the Father is its Sun, and its mother is the Moon. Pater eius est Sol, mater eius Luna, portavit illud ventus in ventre suo, nutrix eius terra est, or Sun is its father, Moon its mother, Wind carries it in its belly, Earth The Earth of course is the lower part of the nervous system that suffers the weather produced in the firmament. This pattern comes from the winds interacting with the Moon and the Sun. The Sun is the same as the solar current of Prana described by the Yogis, and the Moon is the cool current of the same force which they name “Rayi.” Inside the physical body two centers are involved in planetary activity. These are the cardiac ganglion, known as the sun center. The numerical address for this center is 666. The other center is the pituitary body. The moon operates through here. The numerical address is 888. By the joint activity of these two centers it is possible to work with the First Matter. This substance becomes the substrate for the manifestation of personality. To understand how these centers work we must realize two aspects of personality can sometimes be observed. The substance in the universe called cosmic fire comes from the sun. The source of enlightenment is derived from the moon. This is how personal consciousness obtains insight. The reason for these several generations indicates that the secretions from these organs can change ab influence of the higher bodies upon the lower vehicle. Why do esoteric texts repeat several reincarnations of the Sun and the Moon? The physiology of the fluids that these heavenly bodies secrete have a profound effect on thinking. Rage without the ability to use the life impulse for an advantage leads to destruction. With each change in approach their occurs change in how the soul handles the events. A description of how the sun and moon differ when nerve signals are received are described by Hildegard of Bergen in her book of Divine Works. "The Moon accomplishes its course in heat and cold since it is warm as it waxes but cold as it wanes." "The Sun ... on its path from east to south in the same incandescence and takes on coldness later when it is in the west." "if the moon is waxing, the brain and blood of human beings are also increased. If the moon is waning, the substances of the brain and blood in human beings also diminish. The medusa head having the ability to crystallize bears consideration. In the case of Cetus, this monster of poseidon is involved in the Calcination whitening step. We are informed from our learned colleagues that Cassiopeia is the calcination process called Nigredo, and Perseus is the calcination process called Rubedo, the redding. Jung suspects the self and ego merge in Perseus. Further Reading The Book of Devine Works [in Latin, Paintings in text] by Hildegard von Bingen The Visions of Hildegard von Bingen Music of Hildegard von Birgen Canticles of Ecstasy Music of Hildegard von Bengen Illuminations from Hildegard von Birgen Ritual without word has little meaning. Viewing a ritual is not the same as experiencing the change that the ritual was designed to invoke. Reciting the words does not provide direction if the operator does not realize what the meaning of the words actually provide the hearer. The thought is mostly to perform the ritual in the hope that something would happened eventually. To consider an effect do not rely on assumed meaning. We looked at the pentagram an its physiological references to the systems that sustain the head. This portion of the body is termed in esoteric literature as the vault of heaven. The movements of the hands and body is not enough. Words must also be utilized. The symbology of a figure in the shape of a pentagram is used with the Lord's Prayer. Different versions of this prayer exist. Some at first glance may not seem to be related. Therefore the structure and meaning of that prayer must be studied. You will learn not all can be assumed to be known based on the hearing of keyword. The mind can always fill in the missing gaps when acquiring information. The process still demands returning to the initial notes before any learning can begin. To begin. A prayer usually begins with a period of fasting. This empties the stomach and shifts the source of body fuel from carbohydrate to triglyceride. Some of the glycogen in the liver is broken down. Just as we would start our circle in the East to signify beginning with digestion the prayer also is tied to the same process. This purification is associated with the intent of prayer. The method of utterance is also different from speaking to people across a table. The words are made to vibrate. The body cavity is an instrument. At the base of your chest pronounced the words as an intonation. The use of the prayer and body movements must be united as a spirit acting to achieved all that is desired. The physical demands is a wrong interpretation. It is what does the spirit need. Example of Lord's Prayer It must be understood all is for you. These utterances are only for you. Oh Thou, from whom the breath of life comes, who fills all realms of sound, light and vibration. May Your light be experienced in my utmost holiest. Your Heavenly Domain approaches. Let Your will come true – in the universe just as on earth. Give us understanding for our daily need, detach the fetters of faults that bind us, like we let go the guilt of others. Let us not be lost in superficial things, but let us be freed from that what keeps us from our true purpose. From You comes the all-working will, the lively strength to act, the song that beautifies all and renews itself from age to age. Sealed in trust, faith and truth. I confirm with my whole being The Lord’s Prayer contains two portions. One is exoteric, the other is esoteric. An external, and an internal science. The oriental churches utilize the esoteric. In the west, the exoteric portion is well know and is applied in many settings. How they differ and what exactly do they achieve is understood from occult work. The forcers that can effect the mind and body operate on different worlds. They are defined as Devine, Moral, and Physical. These worlds describe what could happen if desire is executed and manifests into the physical. The Exoteric portion is intended at the revealing of the forces which act in the three worlds and analysis their method of action. Our FATHER who art in the Heavens, Hallowed by Thy NAME, Thy KINGDOM come, Thy Will be done—upon EARTH as in HEAVEN. Give us to—day our Daily BREAD, Forgive us our OFFENCES, As we forgive those who have offended us Which should be exactly translated: Remit us our due as we remit to those who owe us this due in respect to us. Preserve us from the TEMPTATION And deliver us from the EVIL The Esoteric portion connects these forces to their principle through the revelation of the mysteries of the Great-Arcanum. Because Thou art, The Royalty and the Rule and the Power in action in the Aeons (Generative cycles) The three worlds are described by certain words presented in the text. The object is to get activity to occur on all three worlds to obtain a successful outcome. To achieve this the names that link up the psychic centers must be consciously brought into mental viewing. 1 Divine World Father, Name, Kingdom, synthesized by the term Will 2 The Moral World Thy Will be done—upon EARTH as in HEAVEN. This is involution. The words Earth and Heaven are linked together. What is conceived in heaven will manifest on earth. 3 The Physical World The artist represents these worlds with different metaphors. If you are willing to take note and learn more than just the words, then please study the images above. In every case a mountain can be observed. The three worlds are described on the tree of life as three triangles. This allows the worlds to be thought of as three forms of the logos. of divine corresponds to the Kabbalah called Atziluth ( עוֹלָם אֲצִילוּת, )The world of Emanation. This is where archetypes dwell. This means where all possibilities can occur. In your mind the early stages of a plan can prevent the use of worlds since you envision too many possibilities. By studying these worlds you will come to realize how thoughts and idea form, take shape, and become implemented. The esoteric portion For thou art Royalty This refers to the principle of the Father in the logos. The Rule This is the principle of the Sun. This is the Chockmah of the logos. The Power This is the principle of the spirit. The third sephira is Binah. The Mother is the source of this power. When all three sephira of the logos work together the creative principle of heaven can be realized in all three worlds. The Aeons These are the manifestations of the divine will. The Elohim act through the aeon. It is through breath applied to the utterance that will evoke the great mystery. The exercise of hermeticism is to find the knowledge. Ask yourself. Can you find the three triangles? How do each of these three triangles compare with each other? Our three worlds of Devine, Moral, and Physical presented in the Lord's prayer are geometrically represented on the tree of life as the three triangles above. The Logos in Greek texts is the supernal and this is the Divine world. The hebrew name is Olahm Mevshekal ( מושכל עולם ), the intellectual world. The second triangle, referred to as the Moral world is related to the Divine world by an inversion. As a side note the element of fire is related to the element of water by an inversion. The hebrew name for the moral world is Olahm Morgash ( מורגש עולם ). The third triangle is related to the second triangle by a reflection. The astral world is where the nervous system meets the soul. To achieve desire the mirror reflection must be considered in all operations. Here lies confusion. Just how do you achieve will if you do not understand the underlying laws of motivating body to obey will of the mind? The occult science reveals in each of the three worlds the laws that operate differ greatly. The third triangle is called the astral triangle. The hebrew name is Olahm Ha-Mevetbau ( המוטבע עולם ), this is the physical world. The concepts of materialism are associated with the laws of this world. By working with the triangle it give the operator awareness of how to manifest will on both heaven and earth without distortion. The moral world seeks to filter out what will not work in its domain. This is a reduction. This occurs because the number of dimensions decrease. In the divine world there are seven dimensions. In the moral world there are six and five dimensions. In the physical world there are four dimensions. To move from the realm of Malkuth, where three dimensions operate, to the divine triangle involves familiarity with four additional dimensions. These appear as added degrees of freedom to the operator. To work in each world you must become master. In martial arts there is a reason toward the control of the mind. The movement from each world can breakdown the fake personality just as a porous rock of sand can be crushed gently with the hands. The ethical triangle is so named as this is the level of the heart. Morality of what is possible is carefully assessed under the three aspects of power, glory, and beauty. Prayer of David at the foundation of the temple Chronicles, first book, 29:1 Unto Thee, O Tetragrammaton and the Greatness and the Power and the Beauty and there Victory and the Glory for uto Thee is everything in the Heavens and the Earth. Unto Thee, O Tetragammatron, is the Kingdom The knowledge of refections is very important in studying the reason for specific operations in a ritual. The use of the lord's Prayer is to effect through three worlds. Each of these worlds are connection to the physical body through either an inversion, or a reflection. Thou art the Kingdom and the power and the Glory, the world forever, unto the ages, Amen The structure of the Lord's Pray provides an understanding of how the words were chosen. Consider this wise advise: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect" To transfer from one world to the next the characteristics must be displayed by the operator. Zeus the King, gives us all that is good whether we ask for it or not, but command all that is evil to leave us even we ask it of thee. The Qabalistic Cross
Step 1 Touching the forehead say Atoh The Kether ( crown ) Step 2 Touching the breast, say Malkuth The kingdom step 3 Touching the right shoulder say ve-Geurah ( and the power ) step 4 Touching the left shoulder say ve-Gedulah ( and the Glory ) step 5 Clasping the hands upon the breast, say Le-Olahm, Amen ( forever, Amen ) The opening and banishing ritual of the pentagram always begins and ends with performing the Qabalistic cross. Which shoulder is touched depends on how the physical body is viewed from the operator's viewpoint. The description of the tree of life views the back of the human figure. You will observe a reversal of the shoulder's in ritual if the reference is to view the front the figure in the literature. Why do these worlds exists? There is more to us than a single nature. A point of how the creator is presented in each world. The Father is manifested by two aspects, the verb (Thy name) is written in a way that is not clear. This was intentional. The true knowledge is to be used only by initiates. This ensures the power of the prayer is used properly and prevents ignorance from not applying the hallowed meaning of the words. Just as the use of Father is protected. The use of Mother has an important safeguard. The creative generation is the Holy Spirit and written as the Kingdom. The access to this domain is through breathing. The name Holy Spirit means Perfect Breath. This is why mother is described as hidden. The use of air to nurture the organs can be seen only upon its effect. Medical work focuses only on the solid tissues. The Holy Spirit therefore is a great mystery. Proper breath control is required in the use of this prayer. To carry out the wishes the word Thy Will involves Love on all parts. This love works in each world to ensure the material world manifest properly. The key is provided by Pythagoras. This explains the reincarnation correction. Each offense made in our divine Immortality is a debt which we freely contract against ourselves of which we must be acquitted through the sufferings of the following incarnation. So that as Pythagoras taught, we generate unceasingly our future by the employment which our will makes of the Present. Now, a way to open quickly the door of our interior heaven is to sacifice a little of our selfishness in favor of a little of our universality. Our selfish life is in ourselves but our moral life is in the others. It is only by acting for the profit of others that we act in the evolutionary mode; while in acting for our own profit we act in the mode of involution, in darkness. If anyone injures me, he contracts with me a moral obligation, the settling of which I am free to retard at my inclination. He becomes by his own action, my slave. If I look at the hatred of his action, and if I believe in vengeance, I am egotizing myself, 1 voluntarily generate the evil which kills me spiritually. But if I forgive, I universalize myself, I act in the divine manner, and I destroy not only the evil which I was going to inflict upon myself, but also the evil which my enemy had done to himself. I advance in the measure of my ability, the evolution of the whole entire humanity by rendering two souls attractive which would have remained, perhaps for centuries, repulsive to each other and which would have retarded their final reintegration. Voluntary forgiveness is then indeed, the most wonderful method of appeal to Providence which has been revealed to us. Hence, the primary importance of this word from the stand point of the conscious creation, by our physical body through our immortality. The Greek Mystery regarding Medusa is represented in popular descriptions. As to exactly what the information contained in the mystery. Well it is a mystery. The interpretation that a head of snakes functioning as hair is not a good thing and therefore the popular conclusion is medusa is maligned. This view is being challenged from the discovery of paintings in Tarquinia, Italy. The image presents beings with the human figure. These figures contain feathered wings, and snakes appearing from the head. Archeology has encountered the chimeric image of the human figure with the serpent in different traditions. To encourage a rethinking of Perseus and Medusa requires headway into what these images mean. The information is relevant to many cultures. The star Algol in the constellation of Perseus translates as Ghoul from the Arabic. What exactly this means has to do with the feeding of the body's seeds. We are actually looking at a bodily process. The physical body is called Amenta, the underworld in the Egyptian Mystery. In the Egyptian the Khu feeds on the Shades. Khu is called a shadow spirit. Hail Âm−khaibitu (i.e., Eater of shades), who comest forth from the Qereret (i.e., the cavern where the Nile rises). During the steps the body takes in creating seeds thoughts are formed. Associate every thought properly with the formation of your seeds. A bad thought gives you bad seeds. To understand Andromeda, Perseus, and Cassiopea means to understand how the various components that make up what you call 'us.' The structure of mind is named cosmology it is misfiled as referring to how the solar system and galaxies form. In fact study of cosmology leads to relating the dynamic motion of how the mind functions. Current understanding is at the static, or organized level. The Egyptian Mysteries list nine components. Each one can be assign to a tree of life diagram for the tree relates the mind in a graphic form. The components are described as: Sekhem = This is the vital force. Ren = The Macro mind Khu = This is the Spirit Soul. Khaibet = This is called Shadow Ba = This the Heart Soul Ka = The double Sahu = Spirit Body Khat = Natural Body Similar structures are hinted at by reading the eight blessings. These blessings refer to the first 8 lowest Sephiroth on the tree of life. Another word used instead of blessing is Beatitude. See Luke 6:17-26, and Matthew 5:3-20 for references. The first blessing refers to Malkuth. The order then is reversed. The scheme is Blessing number = Tree of life Sehiroth number: 1 = 10 (Malkuth), 2 = 9 (Yesod), 3 = 8 (Hod), 4 = 7 (Netzach), 5 = 6 (Tiphere), 6 = 5 (Geburah), 7 = 4 (Gedulah), 8 = 3 (Binah) . Each of these wolds require their own sources. One part of the tree toward the top provides light. One part go the tree toward the bottom provides nourishment. A symbol of Khu, a Ibis
Here is a question. How do feel about a 14 pointed star? Indifference? Then how about a 21 pointed star? Why is there trepidation with the five pointed star? It has been lampooned in attempts at showing ritual in comic drag. What exactly is the pentagram ritual and why is it used in some magic rituals? if a five pointed star commands such feelings in people than what about the points of the pentagram? The best way is to find the answer is to study the star before it becomes a pentagram. This is the four pointed tetrahedron. The word lampoon can be taken to mean lamper. This desire to have taste by drinking is a way to understand. This method of learning is confusing for it makes the soul disconnect from the body. The soul feels not focused. This is a result from drinking the fermented beverage. A portion of the jobs the soul is responsible for is neglected when consumption of drink ensues. This is the healthy maintenance treatment of the organs with each breath. We can understand the effect differently in the process of shock. This is the meaning take your breath away. Your soul leaves the body. This is also why people will speak to someone in shock. With no one around why stick around? For some the first observation of a pentagram ritual came from drinking rather than learning about it. There are descriptions on the procedures. The reason behind the ritual and what the ritual actually achieves and why it should be practiced are harder to find out. Wiser and prudent study rewards the searcher with a balanced way to use magic. What then is the goal of a ritual apart from learning a procedure for a ritual? Indeed when studying magic only the pentagram ritual has been presented in print form. Some exist for the sixth membered star. What happens afterward and are there any other kinds of rituals known? If so who engages in them and of course what do these ritual actually do? We regard the ritual more of a visual adjective but ignorant as to what it does just as magic itself, is not clear to many despite the many discussions as to how magic is defined. There is great responsibility in raising the level of knowledge and how it aids the mind and body. The following quote explains the ongoing work in removing the veils obscuring the city of Babylon. The body and life is truly a mystery to be learned by the individual. "For us, who possess the inner knowledge, inherited or won, it remains to restore the true rites of Attis, Adonis, Osins, Set, Serapis, Mithras and Abel." Aleister Crowley These are key parts to allow the conscious a part of the great effort to effect change. Lots of candles do not an altar make. By examination of the picture the fifth point is labeled as Spirit. It is this spirit that is the source of the four elements called Air, Water, Earth, and Fire. Setting mood with lights is only important in changing your hour of conscious state. The altar and star maps the systems of the body. Learning about yourself is very important to lead the way for the union of the minds. This is a yoga objective as well. We can represent the drawing of the star in many ways. First keep in mind that the star relates to your body when you place your legs wide apart and arms spread outward. This helps to bring home the concept that the rituals of the pentagram involve your body. The method of the pentagram involves activating and deactivating four systems in an explicit manner. A fifth system is implied but is not performed in an open manner. The four points of Earth, Fire as parts of the legs and Air, Water as parts of the arms describe two diagonals. The elements on the diagonal containing Earth and Water are coarse. The elements on the diagonal containing Air and Fire are fine. The four elements are associated with the systems that support the head. This is represented by the fifth point. It is labeled spirit. The element Fire Esoteric direction East Season Spring This is where digestion takes place. The organs here are known as the carpenter in the Egyptian tradition. The ritual often begins at east and move in a circle to the next element. Why is esoteric East chosen? The cardinal point chosen for the altar maps to the region of the nerves where digestion take place. Some rituals take into account the mirror image of the astral body and show the direction as being inverted. This is why the chariot described in the texts of Ezekiel and Revelation have different coordinates. The element Water Esoteric direction South Season Winter The circulatory systems of blood, lymph, and spinal fluid are associated with esoteric south The element Air Esoteric direction West Season Fall The spinal chord, spleen, and liver is where you will find the inhabitants of esoteric west. The element Earth Esoteric direction North Season Summer The nerves for bowels and bladder are assign to the esoteric region of Earth. This is where the treasures are housed. By linking the organs and components we are able to provide a reason for the ritual. The region of the south involves the blood. The soul inhabits the fluids of air and liquid. This is the reason why in Oriental systems the guardian spirit is drawn as a red bird. Each of these four systems are essential in magic operations. The opening rituals. A large 5 pointed star is traced out in front of you. The directions should be assigned in mind by where you place the organs with respect to the cardinal directions. This will remove the doubt and unsureness as to the proper location by knowing which organ is assigned to which position of your circle. The movement of the wand is always toward the activating point of the star. Open for Fire Standing in the Eastern direction Digestion, Stomach, Small intestine. Move your wand from spirit, the head toward the foot marked fire. Continue to trace out the fully constructed pentagram. Open for Water Moving in a circle turn from East to South Circulatory, Soul Move the wand beginning for Air and move toward Water. Continue as before to trace out the completed pentagram. Remember you are building up these pentagrams. Use your mind to see the color of the lines emerging from your wand. Open for Air Move to the West direction on your circular route Spinal chord, spleen, liver Move the wand from the Water position and move toward the position of Air. Do as before build up the pentagram. See the colors involve in the process. This is why ritual demands pageantry and attention for the conscious self. Open for Earth Move from the West to the North position of your circle Bowels, Sacral nerves, lower back Place your wand before you at the head of the pentagram and move toward Earth. Then complete the remaining portions of the pentagram. When performing the closing or banishing ritual you place the wand at the desired element you wish to close. The closing of Earth. Bowels, Sacral nerves, lower back The closing of Air. Spinal chord, spleen, liver The closing of Water. Circulatory, Soul The closing of Fire. Digestion, Stomach, Small intestine The importance of closing is not mentioned. Energy of higher planes can come through easily disrupting the body. The body itself is designed to experience. This includes entities that cannot be seen easily the physical eye. Experiences of this sort occurs when leaving a concert or play where emotions are not stabilized. Just compare notes of activities that occur when a sports team wins a great victory. Observe how the citizens behave. Repeat the observations for a political event, or a social dance. These activities can be brought under control by using of the banishing ritual if you yourself decide to partake in a event. The familiar words lost your head means control of the fifth element spirit is not stabilizing the other four elements. The ritual of the pentagram involves verbal invocation of the Lord's Prayer. The words are formulated to bind each fruits on the tree of life to the operator. This means heart, brain, leg, foot each and every portion of the body goes into the prayer. The Kabbalah tree diagrams show the physical body and its hidden components. This will apply to the structure of the mind as well. When observing a pentagram ritual think of the body. Consider a well known application of the pentagram ritual in art. This is called the golden ratio. When pentagrams appear in the human figure the level of trepidation seems to drop. Recall the head is the point of the star bearing the SPIRIT.
In a text called Luke, a passage has stymied literal interpretations. "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey. The Ficus sycomorus is written in old Greek as συκόμορος. The actual meaning comes from the Egyptian traditions. The fig is an emblem of the womb. The goddess Hathor has the benevolent role of pouring a fermented beverage made from this plant. The process of fermentation produces a liquid with a fizz. The bubbles symbolically mean the spirit force is strengthened. Why place this plant into the sea? The fermenting power will make the water to become filled with divinity. The spiritualization process is a way to remind the soul that although it is buried in the deep soil of mortal life it can regain life by resurrecting from the physical body. The seed is more than just a clever reference. Many miss the point. The role of soul is also tied to the production of the body's germs. The fate of these seeds is the true meaning of whether they go to heaven or be sacrificed in the body. This literature is tightly related to the quality of your thought and current physiology you are undergoing. There is no religion higher than the truth. — Plontinus Always seek the truth do not become complacent. “The Unswerving devotion to the truth on your part is your Ariadne’s thread through the maze of the astral planes of Yetzirah.” — David Goddard This is Air and it is represented by the sword. The sword of the conqueror must be constructed out of the 12 vayus. This is a process that each tradition offers. The sword you posses is in parts, but it is in the body. The world of Yetzirah is termed angelic and is known as the domain of formation. These terms are not clear at a clausal glance but a firmer hold as to their actual meanings can be understood when the anatomy and physiology are included in the description. The role of the angels as messengers is to carry out the instructions that have been passed along to the archangels from above. This information passes along the vast network of nerves. When physical observation of axon electric current discharge occurs we can appreciate why the Hebrew words for the different kinds of angels (Angel is a Greek word) refers to light. This is the flash or spark that is occurs at the endings from one neuron to another. The hammer of Thor and the lighting bolt of Zeus supplies the electromotive force that the angels pass from one to the other. This in part is the visible information. The four elements driven by the fifth spark appear as our volition. The nerves of the Yetzirah world are involved in digestion, breath, and use of the limbs. The aspect of Yetzirah in Digestion deals with the small intestine, pineal gland, and the bladder. The aspect of Yetzirah in Breath involves the throat, trachea, and the lungs. The aspect of Yetzirah in the limbs involves the back of the head, spinal chord, arms, hands, and legs. This also includes are organs that feed by connections through the spinal chord. The nervous system is susceptible to many influences. The body is designed for the soul to receive experiences. To ensure stability a ritual known as opening and closing the pentagram is used in magical operations. Such a process occurs in our daily lives even though the ritual takes on different forms. The awareness as to how such procedures are used explains much about how our living quarters are designed. The same principles are used in the creation of streets, hospitals, and of course theaters. It may not be obvious yet the same concepts are used in temple designs. These diverse aspects are based on the needs of the soul in order to obtain experiences. This of course means how the senses report information to the cerebral cortex. A wide variety of experiences can overwhelm the systems and cause damage. This is where the guardians come in. They are of course as real as the reader is. Each tradition has their unique form of the guardians. Someone foreign to neruophysiology might mistake them for a culture. The images have much more to do with the proper functioning of the various vehicles. Even the nerve impulses are depicted in Art as chariots driven by deities. Examination of the guardians. It is a mistake to assume there are only four guardians based on four compass points. There are more. In some traditions not all of the guardians have been found. We will look at four guardians used to protect the four systems of the physical body. Green Dragon This guardian watches over the region called East. Spring Fire Eating of food is the intention of your will to create thought from the body. If all is mind then from food the body and its makeup are all mind. The holistic interpretation is that one cannot keep up a partition to study. The use of assumptions in science is only intended for learning. The idea is to remove the assumptions to expand the knowledge. The conscious self forgets that it works with imagination to understand motion of the physical body. How processes actually occur cannot be known. This is a blur at the boundary between the known and unknown of medicine. This position in the physical body involves nourishment. A metaphor for East is the region of benevolence and nursing. Images of feeding and providing protection are of prime importance in alchemy. The self-conscious must be aware that the use of food is not mechanical or to satiate a craving for hungry in a machine. It is easy to be dormant yet feel alive and awake. The difference in magical operations is to associate the process of preparing and eating the food with the digestion. This internal reflection by thinking allows the taking control of the body from the automatic nervous system. The alchemist must use conscious thinking to associate the food and digestion with proper breath to link the found into an energy. This energy is assign for a specific goal in alchemy along the path leading to the Great Work. In any endeavor the purpose of eating should be linked to the goal of using the mind to achieve a desired action. The emotional feeling at each step is crucial the feeling of abandonment, or misery is also a mental product from the food consumed. These mental states are unwelcome uses of the food and digestion process. The nerves involved in the ART of eating also contribute to our overall thoughts. The organs of stomach, and small intestine, gall bladder are under the protection of the green dragon. The meaning of dragon is tied to the concept of food. The young shoots of the plants are described by the same word. The Sacred Red Bird This guardian watches over the region called South. Winter Water The Realm of Darkness (Hylê) was located in the South, tended downwards and extended infinitely only to the South. The creature called Behemoth (בהמות) dwells in this esoteric direction. This position in the physical body involves the movement of fluids. These include air, blood, lymph, and spinal fluid. The circulatory systems in the body move nutrients to where they are needed and take aways the products produced from different cells to where they are needed. Despite advances we are woefully inadequate in our understanding of what actually occurs. The self-conscious uses the power of imagination to achieve control of this vital region. The use of proper breath allows the correct use of the circulatory systems. Breathing actually is involve in the rate of moving spinal fluid in the regions of the ventricles. Esotericists wrote much about how and why the fluid transfers from the seven ventricles of the body. White Tiger This guardian watches over the region called West. Fall Air This position in the physical body is responsible for personality. Emotional stability and feelings occur here. This region is called the The seat of the soul, the liver, works with the kidneys. The nerves in all these organs are a part of the nervous system and obtain the benefits from the region of the east. Black Tortoise Spirit
This guardian watches over the region called North. Summer Earth The bowels and the bladder are involved in the final creation of our thoughts. There is more going on that just producing the products from the physical body. This is why the Greek Mysteries describe the Northern Crown as Ariadne’s Crown. They are the nerves of the bladder. The word crown is a special psychic center. This can be understood by looking at the crown in other traditions. The Babylonian name is Api-aatl the name means Head, The Chief. The Hebrew word is the Ruler. When the ruler is on the throne there is the ability to realize your plans. The instruction Paracelsus provided was on how the stone is produced by the body. The ability for the bladder and bowels to participate in mental activity by performing all of there functions consciously is the key to alchemy. The practitioners must include all the organs in their work. This is why heat is applied to the vessel. The bodily functions contribute to the creation of thoughts. By working with the life processes consciously the quality of the thoughts produce increase. Esotericism is the domain of the higher mind. How do you know you are working with this, presumably, unique and heretofore unknown concept? This depends on which conscious level you are currently in. The gospel of Mathew called this the hour. We confuse and muddle our attempts at understanding the meaning by the imposition in our language with the word time. This article of faith is peppered in every attempt to obstruct our view from clarity by reasoning in time. We shift consciousness at every moment the question of course is to confer or create a landmark to identify when we pass by that hour again.The use of Art triggers entry into these worlds. A sense of fogginess is realized only when we begin to know what the first and eleventh hour appears to our perceptions. The works of the higher mind are somewhat know to us by the use of a word. Some examples are the Mahabharata, The book of the going forth by day, Temple of Heaven, Great Sphinx. This is evidence that the higher mind exists. The lower mind enjoys proclaiming a world of aliens are necessary to explain the functions of our being. A child of six, a person with ill will toward another, and a genius all partake of the products from the lower mind. What distinguishes the the two is that the higher mind is the source of new knowledge. The lower mind is excellent with formative knowledge. Despite attempts at reason the source of innovation and change only is derived from the higher mind. Societies that shut out the higher mind stagnate and died. Their evidence is in the ruins. The mysteries as to what happens to these places lies in the ending of Art. The application of Art is the nebula where ideas are born. When higher mind and lower mind unite and work together there is harmony and movement. Some books lead nowhere only to illusion. Others have truth. To begin the initiation of a journey start with the esoteric direction of East. This is the entry to the world of digestion. The conversion of a morsel and delectable dish to an bland form of energy is not the first part in the ultimate creation of brain sugar. No no no, the difference is where you assign thought. The doorway to the higher mind considers what thoughts will be attempted before the meal is planned. You are not a machine and therefore you must not think as such. The method of manner at the repast is the ancient knowledge. Today we joke of it and call this hidden knowledge. That which is lost to the past is really in the kitchen. The rites and rituals of all methods and all traditions are aimed at transmitting our thoughts to this higher mind. The realization is that the rituals and objects depicted by Art are also organs in you and physiological exercises to change the hour and change your mind. The distinction between physiology of fluids and the pursuit of historical records is lost when considering the emanations from air entering the body by way of the God-head. Such information came through indian sources in the form of teachings of a map. Since glands and bones can be perceived as earth neglect for the rarer forms of matter, liquid and gas, were identified by the processes that act upon them. The present physical sciences cannot detect these changes. Their work is primarily at the solid forms of the body. The alchemists speak of skin as glass. One vessel particularly important to the art is called the Cubricus. In Greek exoteric texts the vessel is represented by the bridal chamber of a house. This is distinguished from the other rooms and the root thalamus is employed. The organs in the body take on different shapes and conformations when interacting with these fluids. If YOU can understand the physiological content of the story you will be better prepared to discern the spiritual information that is present. The thalamus does indeed change its form and is not static. There is a Persian sage by the name of Shuraik. His name in Latin translates as Cubricus. In Greek the word is written as 𝝟ούβρικος. At a certain point in time our good Persian decided to become Anointed. It is from the writings of Plutarch that we are informed Shuraik took on a new name to identify the change of his contents. This is the Babylon word Manes. The name in Latin means vessel. To understand the process of the body undergoing these changes we are informed of the life and experiences Manes undergoes. Every location means something to your body. Each event explains the chemical and spiritual processes. Our Manes in early youth had been a slave to a wealthy widow. The relationship between Manes and the woman is that of Mother and child. The word meaning church refers to the widow. In the recent past this woman inherited all the possessions of a figure named Terminthus. The surname of this figure in Assyrian is Buddas. The concept of generation repeating a similar past occurred. In the life of Buddas he too was once a slave of a rich Saracen merchant. This person was named Scythicus. The merchant desired to study and studied the Greek language and literature somewhere on the border of Palestine. The school of Palmyra is suggested as the place of his instruction. The merchant made frequent trips to India from his home. He amassed a huge fortune and settled down in Hypsele in the Thebaid. By use of the map in conduction with the story the process can be understood. The region called Libya is the cerebellum. Cyprus is rich in copper and is associated with the nerve cluster in the throat. Asia and India is located by one of the lobes by the cerebrum. The name Thebaid is a reference to Upper Egypt.
Be aware how the vessel is associated with a woman who supplies knowledge and a place at each transformation. Scythicus married a beautiful courtesan. He set her free from previous financial obligations. At this point he turned toward preaching using human reason and avoided quoting scripture blindly. Feeling ready to impart knowledge he took up the Pythagoras as a guide. This effort culminated in four texts. These are entitled: The Mysteries, The Summary, The Gospel, and The Treasuries. Once completed Scythicus traveled to Jerusalem. This is the physical body and therefore is given the name the Holy City. In this city he held a conference on the Origin of Evil with the elders of the Church. Scythicus begin preaching magic. This knowledge came from the Indians and the Egyptians. To understand what this means. See the map of the brain above. Scythicus performed a miracle from a rooftop of his house. The work ended in tragedy. He fell from the rooftop. Terminthus was the servant of Scythicus. He left the city with his master's wealth to Persia. Again see the map. Persia is between India and Asia on the brain. It is very important to follow the story with a map of the nervous system. Once in Persia Terminthus becomes Buddas. He was wise and carried on the work outline in the four texts. These treatises and further research were carried out inside the house of a rich widow. This passage may seem familiar as it occurs in many traditions. The house was frequented by priests of Mithras. Two notable figures were Parcus, and Labdacus. At a certain point buddas was killed accidentally. The woman kept all the books, and passed the research on to our vessel the servant named Cubricus. In each case a transformation occurs where a new location is sought and a servant takes on the work for the next descendant to resume. Substances in the brain flow to different locations. Remember that the structures in the brain are mostly a fluid. This is partly gas and partly a liquid. The solid structures is what is commonly studied and presented as an image. A large portion of the material is in fact not static, but moves. The confusion over a vessel has led to the concept of when myth ends and history begins. Observe how the description of the vessel through the organs and circulatory system described by a three dimensional projection become muddled. Mani's father by the name of Patik, was a Parthian prince, and a descendent of Arascid line. Mani's mother was named Mariam. His mother was also of the Arascid line. During Mariam's pregnancy Mani's father went to the city of Ctesphion, in order than he may find God. Rather than meeting his objective he only found the house of idols. Patik heard a voice informing him to abstain from eating meat and drinking wine. Patik and his son Mani joined a group called Mandeans. At the age of 12 the vessel Mani received a vision of his twin. This twin is the Holy Spirit (Living the Paraclete). A fluid takes ups the volume of the container it occupies. At this time Mani left the Maneans and opted to travel to Tibet and India. He eventually returned to Persia. Here Mani converted the king Shahpur I and his two brothers. They are Mihrsah and Peroz. Although Shahpur was impressed with Mani he retained his Zoroastorian priest. The priest, named Karter, did not trust Mani. Eventually Shahpur I passed the throne onto his son Hormizd I in 273. This king did not last and was replaced by his brother Baharam. This new king was influenced heavily by Karter. Mani was tricked and requested to visit King Baharam. When Mani arrived he was chained up. During 26 days Mani gave discourse with his disciples. Eventually Mani transformed. Lay hidden, like a gift to be unwrapped for the future generations, is a gem of knowledge that can be viewed above for the study of the reader. What Pamela Colman Smith and Arthur Edward Waite did together was to provide information on how to play the harp inside your brain. Occults from time to time elude to this harp. This is the underlying source to where the concept of having a harp in heaven appears in popular myths. The actual harp is very delicate and can be observed to exist just above the fornix. The ability to learn how to play this harp has been a great secret to many. Just as the strings upon a harp are delicate the fibers that are strung upon the cranial structure are so fine that any attempts to study them results in their destruction. A bird wearing stings upon its body. This is convenient as one can go anywhere and play the instrument whenever the desire occurs. They can be barely be seen. The light has to be just right. They have the appearance of fine hairs. The background in the brain of a grayish white wall does not help. These hairs are so delicate that attempts in anatomical studies often results in their damage. So beautiful and very close. How did occultists know of their origin can be found along with many other secrets in the stars and the Art which is used to depict them? The strings are indeed supported by the legs of this animal. The celestial maps provide details of the nervous system by understanding what is present in this images the brain comes to life to the conscious-self. The Lyra constellation drawn by artists gives more information on the commissure. The harp is drawn as the body of a bird. One of the legs is grasp by a nearby constellation. This represents the organ of the prostrate (male) and (uterus) female. The drawing suggests the nerves in these two organs are connected. Understanding how this connection works is learning of the mystery of Babylon. Music assists in keeping the bodies in the heavens in their correct revolution is a way of realizing what music therapy can achieve. Without music the solar system falls apart. The close relation to the pitch pipes and the calendar is a physiological reference. The housing of this harp is a pair of legs. These legs, in addition to keeping the strings taught they provide a wall for the Fornix below. The astrological reference of Mercury in Sagittarius indicates that this organ is a part of the nervous system. The tarot image known as the eight of wands made by Pamela Smith might at first seem perplexing to those focused at the beginning of proposing a future. However, the images of these cards have to do with the physical body. The real meaning of the wands, cups, swords, and shields (pentacles) are different portions of the systems that maintain the body. A careful examination of the painting shows a different meaning. The eight staffs of word with budding leaves are slighting up from right to left. This is a collection of eight strings. The number implies an octave. There is more information to be discovered in this depiction. The spacing and length of the wands are has a meaning. Variations on the composition are possible. If you examine the tarot key you will find that the wands resemble the stroking of the eight strings by the hand. There is actually a series of notes played in silence waiting for the the reader of the hermetic deck to discover. This is a cutting edge of research. Apart from the harp's identification in the brain its function is not known. Medical research is focused on solving problems asa result of illness. The normal functioning of this structure is not known. How does yoga work with the harp? Use of current detecting devices cannot provide any response. Such devices rely upon a signal that can be emitted. The use of blood flow provides the reason why magnetic resonance scanning provides a signal. The movement can be detected if fluid is displaced over a large enough volume. Indirect methods such as the combination of Art with scanning devices can offer knowledge that is not known. How the normal functioning of the body occurs. To decode the message that the harp is making will allow a closer approach to the Mystery of the body.
