The ability to change your conscious state is far from a trivial exercise. It may well be explained as "Everything happens according to numbers"(Πάντα κατ' αριθμό γίγνονται). Just how do we undergo this change and how do we gain control of a seemingly uncontrollable vehicle? Various articles written have hinted that the arts and music contain the methods of control. It is up to us to learn this language that the mind is providing us. The role of esoteric science is to allow us to develop and expand our capabilities so that we can grow. We must decide how to respond to events and not feel helpless as those trapped inside a machine. The underlying content weaved into the words found among esoteric literature texts is designed to elucidate the Man himself and Man in himself. This man is of course not what you call a man. This is a component of your mind. When you awake from sleep what are your first thoughts about? Get a drink of water? Pull the covers over your head and sleep more? Thoughts of what you like to eat? Read the Rig Veda? These thoughts are what the words "man" and "himself" refer to. Without this information, or if you choose to ignore the concept from those words you will misunderstand why this man is a product of something.....something called earth. There is an outside and an inside reference to the structure of your thoughts, that himself. The description is about the mind and its growth. Hence the word man is a term for a type of consciousness. It is not a physical person. Contrary to misconception this consciousness does not stand still. There are many parts. Some of them are stationary and some of them moves. That is why it is difficult to explain the reasoning for our thinking process. There is a possibility for our man to change, hence new names will be needed to identify the changes. The man will be, well a new man. You work with mind more than you like to admit. A state of physical image can be so powerful that one wishes to make the physical body resemble a photograph. This is the power of the mind. Imagine altering your body. How than will you change your mind if you are not sure how your are forming your thoughts? A common trap is to think consuming of foods derived from plant, animal, and mineral will alter our mind. This is not true. The affects are imagined by the power of the mind. There is a famous prayer in the English language. The invocation is: "I need my caffeine." Despite the association with a beverage with a substance. The taste and resulting affects are not due to caffeine. If were to try and taste caffeine. The result would be a swearing off the desire to touch anything suspected by the mind to contain caffeine. This shows it is not taste that the mind associates with foods. The power of the mind is great. A false idol can be simply created by wearing a shirt with the chemical structure formula of caffeine. This image is not caffeine. However, the mind associates the image with its desired friend. Even nicknames and words of affection are created to honor its imagined friend. It is important that you hold onto the reins else your mind will travel far without you. Your thoughts are yours alone. It is your responsibility to care for your mind. Yet you yourself can be attached to a wheel. Here you will be repeating the same thoughts and not realize that it is even occurring. This is a state of stupor. Your are changing through several conscious states, and not be aware of it. The machine is not responding to the controls. The machine that you are inside. You have to learn how to operate these controls. The terms in this article refer to mind alone. This is an old science that today the purpose of has been sent into the past and is now long forgotten. The terms may seem foreign to you. Your path to make a decision comes about through sensing. Much of this has little to do with what is assumed to be an outside influence. This is actually why comedians can misdirect our attention. The response is inside, it comes from liquids in the physical body that when transferred to another region of the body result in an outburst of emotion such as a storm. The older terms involve to describe emotion sounds like the description of weather. Rain winds, warmth and cold were once used in esoteric texts to describe psychology. Esoteric texts are designed quite differently. The content is designed to shock you into a new world. This process is describe by the Greek word Metanoia (μετάνοια). The effect of experiencing Metanoia is to bring about a transformative change of the heart. The word is translated as Repent. This can be misleading. The word comes from Greek Mysticism. In the Bacchus mystery the goddess Minerva saves the heart of Bacchus from dismemberment by lifting it out from the four elements and placed into the ether. The ether is the fifth element. This "heart" is the immortal center of the rational soul. That means you can shift into your soul and feel it. Our daily habits reflect a numb sensation of the various mental centers. We need to grow the spiritual organs to see other worlds. A book that describes these worlds for the blind is called Genesis. Often mistaken for a historical account. With a particular book called Genesis we are not discussing past events. We are discussing the future. Your future. The ability to develop yourself will take you from earth to heaven. This is the subject of possibilities in improvement. Higher levels of development are marked by the animals of the sea and land. The inner development of man is described as the ability of the earth to bring forth tender herb and fruit trees. And God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth. And it was so. This metaphoric language shows Man's ability to attain wisdom and understanding. The goal of esoteric literature is to end violence and increase consciousness. The Babylonian Creation Myth is called Enuma Elish, the title comes from the first descriptive words which translate as "When On High." Another translation of Enuma Elish can be found. The author of this work is Alexander Heidal, University of Chicago, 1942. When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not been called by name, Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter, (And) Mummu Tiamat, she who bore them all, Their waters commingling as a single body, No reed but had been matted, no marsh land had appeared, When no gods whatever had been brought into being, Un-named, their destinies yet undermined-- The creation myths actually contain information that is not obvious to translators. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. What has generally glossed over requires a closer scrutiny. The heavens and earth are two distinct states. Esoteric literature describes mental states employing words such as Heaven, Earth, Flora (plants), Fauna (animals). This includes sea, fresh water and salt water. Many mental states are possible. Heaven as an inner state, and earth as an outer state. Some of these states are closer together than others. compare sea animals versus birds in the air. Question how many states do you participate in? If you say 14 states, than you will have no problem understanding this article. Recall the above translation. Of the two distinct states, the one labelled as earth has some features assigned to it. That is the earth is formless and void. Did you say those are not features? They are descriptive they imply that their is room for improvement. That means our mind has the ability to improve. We are born incomplete. We have the opportunity to make these changes. Again you may wonder. How do I know how many states I have access to? Enter our three men. Use of a descriptive view of the effects experienced in different consciousness states can be understood if we use the three terms: Dead Man, Mechanical Man, and Conscious Man. To relate conscious states with the abstract tree of life we can learn that excluding the top triangle their are 7 possible men. The highest Man numbered 7 has a unique property compared with the lower men. The man number 7 has the ability to understand different languages. Do you realize which man this is referring to on the tree of life? The image above is of a tree after the fall. Before the fall the sephira marked Malkuth is in the position marked Da'at. The anthology of earth and heaven explain why our mind is described as an acorn. As a seed it is not sufficient to take root in the earth. The essence inside this ark is too weak. An external energy source is requested. This is personality. The ability for essence to take what personality can provide is utilized to transform into different men. A strong personality will serve the purpose very well. A weak personality will be a poor vehicle. Therefore part of the Great Work needs to improve personality before the various men can be transformed. You must interpret the successive men in terms of how can these minds serve the soul. A earth that is waste and void is a mechanical man. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face (surface) of the waters. This is the commencement of awakening. Then God said let there be light and there was light. And Elohim said, "Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the fish of the sea.... On the sixth day, the sephera Geburah (or spelled Gevurah) is created. In Genesis we learn that man number 7 is in touch with the centers within. He has the ability to communicate with all the nerve clusters. They share a common language. As a result this being has a living soul and is in touch with God. On the seventh day the Elohim breathed into his nostrils the breath of life. This marks the passage for man number 7 to become a living soul. This sephira is Chesed, or Gedulah. This is the last sephira created. Each of the lower sephira are created according to the days of creation. The order of the Days of Creation for the fifth, sixth, and seventh day. Day 5 Tiphereth is created. This is Manas (मनस्). The Human Soul. Day 6 Geburah is created. This is Buddhi (बुद्धि). The Divine Soul. Day 7 Chesed is created. This is Atman (आत्मन्). The Spirit, One's True Self. Progressively through the genesis text we come to understand each man that is developed becomes more advanced. With each development a point on a star is drawn. The diagram relates different shocks that can occur to us. What happens depends on when the shock occurs. This is an event circuit. If a shock occurs at the wrong event an undesired effect will result. The musical notation is important in order to achieve the proper occurrence. The notes you see relate to those planetary names. Therefore there is a why to control the shocks rather than they control you when the 7 mental states that we briefly pass in our sleep state without realizing. It is interesting that from this diagram we can learn taking substances do not result in new conscious states. Food is taken in at position 1. This is utilized by the machine. The shock of air under Mi is necessary for the oxidation of the ingested food. This intake of air will not be used to change a conscious state. The Pythagoras scale C = Sun = Do, D = Saturn = Re, E = Mercury = Mi, F = Moon = Fa, G = Mars = Sol, A = Venus = La, B = Jupiter = Ti. The images were made to have visual entry to the mind. The notes to have auditory or vibratory by using pressure on the skin. These are the heavens the Sufi's discuss in the cosmology. The use of music and art can be helpful in transformation if the details are studied spiritually and not asleep. The shocks at the positions of 3,6, and 9 relate to a unique figure. That is of a triangle. This geometric figure represents the trinity. In the occult the object suggests immortality. By number this can be shown that such a figure is self sustaining. Take 1 and divide it by 3. The result gives a repeating decimal. The image that repeats an infinite number of terms is 3. The written approximation has hidden information. The number written as 0.3333333 involves two additional occult symbols. They are 0 which is the egg from which all is born. The second symbol is the '.' this represents the crown and hence the first sephira of the first triangle on the tree of life structure. The first triangle involving the numbers 1 = Crown, 2 = Wisdom, 3 = Understanding correspond to the logos. The remaining visible sephiroth (plural) labelled 4-10 are related to the men that we have been talking about. These minds. In both the old testament and the new testament frequent references are made to these structures. The geometric figures used to represent these first sephira are (.), dot for crown, ( - ), line for wisdom, and a (triangle) for Understanding. The repeating decimal of 1/3 indicates that the trinity is self sustaining because it can generate its own number when combining with 1. This information is far from a mechanical interpretation of mathematics. Shocks experienced at positions 3, 6, and 9 are not required for the mechanical mind to function. They are for accessing a different entity. The point of shock labeled 3 as 'Do' is a mechanical shock given by air drawn into the lungs and received by the blood. The point labeled 6 as 'Do, second octave' refers to the new man who gives himself the first conscious shock. From the one experiencing this shock you no longer consider thoughts in the theoretical. You 'see' how it applies to yourself. Since you are learning how to self remember, you reach the place of intaking impressions from the external world. The point labeled as 9 is the site of the second conscious shock. Because air is involved, this Enneagram relates in a special way to the Holy Ghost. The term means perfect breath. Please observe that the Rays used to advance upon the tree of life are depicted in art as emanating from a bird! The Enneagram also relates to the tarot key 20. This is known as Judgement. The reason why this key has the hebrew letter can now be revealed to our reader. The letter (ש), pronounced shin. The Arabic letter is (ش). The hebrew word for fire includes shin. This is Ash (אש), and it includes aleph. What a surprise as this relates to Taurus, the cerebellum and the neck. This part of the nervous system is involved in breathing. It does not stop there. In the back of the head lies the fourth ventricle. Respiration strengthens the heart by forcing spiritis animals into the vesicles. The fire of the alchemists is called (רוח) Ruach. This word is Feminine. This information is important. The Hebrew word means spirit. A very good text to read about this subject is called Secret Fire by Langford Garstin. The importance of being awake is repeated by the introduction of this book. The following is an important summary of this article. [In the application of Torches, Candles, and Spectacles what help may they be if people are determined not to see.] This means you dear reader must do the work and self remember. To know requires a shift into another world and breath with art provides the keys to entry. Further Reading Wisdom of the Knowing Ones. by Manly P Hall, 2000. A useful text describing how to understand esoteric christianity. Corinthians I A discussion of the first lower minds is mentioned. They are described as natural, Carnal (flesh), and Spiritual. The natural man in Greek is psychikos (ψυχικός). The spiritual man is pneumatikos (πνευματικός ). The body in Greek is soma (σῶμα) . Alchemical literature is read quite differently from what other types of texts. To read otherworldly books needs new techniques. Why read such books then? Why is there this growing trend to read fantasy and science fiction. The desire to awaken is always around us because the higher mind is calling to us. A useful commentary is also available here on Corinthians I. The different abilities of these minds to advanced are explained below: 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. I Corinthians 15:42-44. Three Kinds of Men, An essay by Clive Staples Lewis, 1943. This article points out the first lower minds. The classification of these minds are classified based on their ability to understand and receive a certain "body" of truth. With any spiritual information it is necessary to read not in a mechanical fashion. Imagine yourself reading a text three times from the perspective of three entities. The Child, The Father, and the Mother. These points of view you will be taking from the vertices of a triangle. Three Classes of Men, An essay by Lewis S. Chafer, 1918. This work expands further on the three progressions. A formative search for knowledge will not reveal what you seek. What is required is a way different from rote memorization. The same is true for any discovery. Knowledge describe of in esoteric science as "truth" demands a transfer to a new region of space. The dimensions will be different. A mechanical reading will not guarantee your quest for the truth. As the truth cannot be obtained if you search in the mechanical world. This search requires a change in the hour that must accompany your search in order to succeed. In other words You must change men. [Change your current mind].

The meaning of awakening is being born again. This demands that you enter a process of spiritual growth from spiritual infancy to mastership. The nourishment to achieve this is Soul Food. This is called Aspiration, it is the irrigation of ideas as it generates positive currents. The hermetic principle of polarity must be studied.
The story of the other. It has been on the lips of many that George Ivanovich Gurdjieff is remarkable. The concept that we sleep without any possibility to awaken is still novel to many. By living in sleep what kind of life will we possess? Doomed to repeat many lives until the series of shocks awaken us. One may slowly fall asleep again. A subset of us experience more shocks. Now realizing that they have been sleeping. Wondering just what to do now? Try to wake others...or...connect to those other-selfs. Their consciousness has not regained automatically. They are in a state called limbo. The sleep in which we live is called hypnotic sleep. Just as blood cells can be regarded as sheep. So can we. A woman by the name of Helen Rhodes Wallace wrote about the same concepts that Pyotr Demianovich Ouspenskii discussed in his early books (Tertium Organum 1912 in Russian). That means there were others concerned with grave problem we face. In 1908 Helen Rhodes published Psychcoma. This means The Soul Sleep. The true meaning, not as it has been twisted by convolution. The roots of many words have been disconnected to the later descendants. PSYCHCOMA means the principle of life is connected to the body. There is no disruption. No need for the present detours. Psychcoma by Helen Rhodes The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution by P. D. Ouspenskii
Isn't it strange that the inner planets are separated from the outer planets, which are closer to the milky way. The inner planets are closer to the earth. In the Kabbalah the planet spheres of saturn. Uranus, and Pluto are separated from the planet spheres of Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, and Earth. The use of the same names provides the confusion. The spheres or heavens are states of the mind. One region of the mind is called the abyss. A veil separates three states from seven states.
The meaning of Psychcoma is that you and your soul are one. It is not correct to regard the soul as a mere possession. The manifestation of the soul is through the physical body. Why does this word include coma? Doesn't coma mean sleeping? The two parts of the word describe that this life is two fold. The life is both physical and spiritual. The thoughts are spiritual. The confusion results because these two parts are not distinct but are in turn composed of different worlds. The physical world includes the mental world. The spiritual includes the astral, buddhi, Atman, Manas, Logos. The net composition of these worlds appear. Without effort their appears no distinction of these worlds. In fact if you sleep the worlds would appear to appear to your senses. To communicate. It is important to discern how the spiritual life measures attainment. This is achieved through mental deposit and subconscious experiences. They are represented in art as male and female figures. During sleep the soul operates through the subconscious world. During our wake period we are dreaming out-a-loud. The Adept technique Inward Breath is the spraying of the body inwardly. This is a developing process for the purposes of invigoration, recuperation, and healing. When you take a breath all components in your universe gives consent to the receiving event. No part is faced with the burden alone. Inhale as from a circle with yourself as the center and the solar plexus as the focus. Hold the breath a moment then slowly exhale upward spraying or spreading breath within and over the entire. This is visualized as fireworks emitted from a center, or a fountain head spraying. Avoid drawing the abdomen inward as this turns off the supply of breath. How a singer is able to maintain the voice is through the abdomen? A way to prevent cold feet To induce sleep visualize the breath, descending the spine, and carry it downward into and out of the feet. To prevent chills from occurring hold the breath at the solar plexus the same length as the inhalation. By doing so perspiration will be induced. What types of consciousness can I experience? The one I am familiar with is sleep and walking sleep. I know of no other? What about the tendency to blank out yet you appear awake. Is that not a third? Here take a slip of a drink. Place it on a table behind you so as not to knock it over. Suddenly you forgot to attend to an important matter. In oner hour your return. A friend arrives and you have an interesting discussion for 1 and half hours. Now why do you forget about the beverage. If you can recall having that experience of the taste, then why is it you are unable to determine where it is? A way is possible to reach two additional states. There are difficulties present that must be overcome.
The other two conscious states are called objective conscious and self conscious. The state of self conscious allows the ability to be objective toward the observer. The objective conscious world is where the observer makes the connection with the world that are blocked by senses, and dreams.
In the first state of consciousness we are in the state of sleep. We are unable to know anything of the truth. The forces that produce dreams are not perceived and the dreams are considered the actual focus of our thoughts. In the second state of consciousness we are in the waking sleep. Only by comparing to relative events can we make a discernment. In the third state of consciousness we only are aware of self. In the fourth state of consciousness is where we discern the full truth of everything. This allows disclosure of the nature of things. Ask someone to repeat a sentence in a foreign language. Ask someone to repeat words in a song. Notice how the events in the information become scrambled. There are four states of consciousness to conquer. A state for an element. That means the alchemist elements are more than just hearsay. There is a connection between the elements and the inevitable attainment of these states. Learning how the mind works with these elements is part of the Great Work. The alchemists goals therefore are to achieve objective conscious. The way of mind explained with the sanskrit root manas. This is written by the three letters man. As you prepare the vessel to receive gnosis you will come across the term "the fourth man." This vessel has the following properties. The ability to be objective. A fixed center of gravity. "This mind" and other minds are distinct in that their properties all rely on higher beings. A seven pointed star is a drawing for the mind. This of course is the "seventh man" described by art. To achieve all the properties is to become a star. Here the manas has gained through contact with all of the lower minds a unified consciousness of the I. This being has perfect knowledge. This is coupled with pure objectivity and an immortal I consciousness. This is the I, that cannot be destroyed.
The lower seven sephiroth (or sephirot) are the seven minds discussed in the fourth way. This clarifies a misunderstanding of the Ouspensky-Gurdjiefff texts. There was nothing innovative other than the importance to get the message out. Each further impulse to earth makes spiritual development of the organs even more difficult. A desire to have literal explanations means the mind is frozen. How can we leave the kingdom and reach the crown if we cannot understand the products produced from the mind to assist us in our climb? To obtain new conscious states the mind grows. The mind matures, The mind evolves. If the seven sephiroth evolves the top triangle, known as the logos, can be supported. This is what is meant by the seven days of creation. After being formed each of the sephiroth must grow. Here is why the seven sephiroth are separated from the logos by the veil. To achieve the successive minds and develop the points of the stars from 1-2-3-4, then followed by 5,6, and 7 points. Therefore your sleep and wakeful sleep contribute a two point star. This is your line the symbol of wisdom. The sephira indicated as wisdom (Chokmah). When you decide to make the change notice a curious find in an old esoteric text.
Reading 1 alert Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. "But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. "For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will. Matthew 24: 42-44 Reading 2 Awake Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. 43 But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. Matthew 24: 42-44 A problem of translating awake as alert dilutes the meaning for the reader. Son of Man Notice the importance for the child. WE ignore the spinal chord development. In all traditions this region of the nervous system is described by the Draco constellation. It is a child compared to the trinity of cerebellum, cerebrum, mid-brain. Even by sections the three parts retain their ability to identify each other in the system of nerves. How do we awaken ? How do you stay awake ? THE Answer is in Art. The mind creates art to awaken. The necessary information is inside works of art. The ability of the the mind to make art and to, more importantly, understand the message is the wonder of the creator. The knowledge can be obtained by us because of who we are. The soul can wear many types of clothing but the destination of the soul is crucial. The development through matter is neglected in poetry and song these days. The paths are crucial for the purpose of having the souls come to visit. Their works will be understood in the futures of the pasts. Each stone cast for a pyramid has a spiritual metaphor. The most misunderstood word άμαρτάνω (ámartáno) translated as sin, it means missing the mark. This off target. What is this error that is unknown in the English language? THis is of course what we should strive for. That place known only by the words The Kingdom of Heaven. THis is attainable by our thoughts. To be in heaven is s state of mind. This path begins with entering the third state of consciousness. To become aware of your self and leave the dream land is essential before you enter objective consciousness. The Mystery behind Isaiah 31:3 lies in our ignorance of who we are? Where are we from? By emerging from a bowl* used to mix wine we forget out DIVINITY. Egypt means flesh. Egypt is flesh, nor spirit. Egypt is man not God. His horses are of flesh and not of flesh. To be a horse of flesh implies that the intellect is tied to the physical senses. If thoughts are only derived from the senses is a mind of the dead. The soul is unable to reach the mind. * Krater, the 13 star constellation in the sky, just above the water snake hydra constellation. One modern version is translated as The Egyptians are humans. They are not God. Their horses are made of flesh; they can not live forever.
13 stars represent this bowl. 1 star for each zodiac member relates a region of the body development. The thirteenth star is the entity entering the newly constructed body. Be it a blood corpuscle, a germ cell, or other. The mixing bowl serves the site where souls arrive from the Milky way into the solar system is depicted in many traditions. Even the vessel inside the solar plexus, as solar plexus itself is intimately tied to the nerves involved in the act of breathing. This is the reason for the neighboring bird beside the vessel.
The mention of a master explains why it was used to explain the meeting of Gurdjieff and his teaching methods. Several articles have been produce claiming to search for the origins of this very methods. The answer does not require much effort. The gospel of Matthew is one of the sources. Our mental structure involves several actors. An anthology to employ is that of a house in a state of ruin with several servants confined to the basement, confused, and unsure of their abilities. "Thus, in one teaching, man is compared to a house in which there is a multitude of servants but no master and no steward. The servants have all forgotten their duties; no one wants to do what he ought; everyone tries to be master, if only for a moment; and, in this kind of disorder, the house is threatened with grave danger. The only chance of salvation is for a group of the more sensible servants to meet together and elect a temporary steward, that is, a deputy steward. This deputy steward can then put the other servants in their places, and make each do his own work: the cook in the kitchen, the coachman in the stables, the gardener in the garden, and so on. In this way the 'house' can be got ready for the arrival of the real steward who will, in his turn, prepare it for the arrival of the master." Author: P. D. Ouspenskii (Ouspensky) Title: In Search of the Miraculous By applying Eastern teachings the reader is able to learn how such techniques are used and what information can be obtained when reading such terms in the Evangelical texts. The actors of Servants, and Master we can understand that the mind is not static, but actually requires the need to learn. The mind is actually in the process of evolution. We have fallen into the misunderstanding that education is only allocated to the classroom portion of our lives.
Because of our waking sleep state we cannot even grasp the significance as to what the bird is doing in this astrological map. Rather than come to realize the bird represents the breath being blown into the lungs the common thoughts consider the bird to be pecking the snake.
To communicate with the subconscious requires The Law of Suggestion. The subconscious mind is very wise. It is capable of knowing and revealing to us all things. The aura of every person holds the solution of past experience. This is intelligible to the subconscious perception. The conscious must establish communication with the subconscious. Rather than seek out. Try the subconscious. It is ready to be of helped if asked. Draw into manifestation the will with positive thoughts. This will allow you to draw upon the wisdom of the inner life. Remember the importance of positive thoughts. Your thoughts work on a feedback system. The thoughts radiate and impress upon the ambit circular region around as you go about your activities. This energy comes back to you in a form of an event. The use of unpleasant thoughts will prevent you from achieving your interests. A superior understanding forces a superior condition. As fast and as soon you arouse from your coma you begin to polarize yourself to attract new values. Your thoughts result in attractions. You may experience an unpleasant event. Be ever willing to express a positive influencing thought. The negative thoughts accumulate and produce an opposing force. This not realized in a sleeping mental state. Subsequently this opposing force interferes with any plan you devise to correct your situation. You become poorer in speech, thought, and wealth. Realizing this writers would offer maxims into the language to correct this problem. Now we are evolving further into the earth. We are forgetting to call upon our greatest gifts bestowed upon us. Articles now are written to explain the importance of removing the blockages. "Never allow a mean discontent to grow upon you. Whatever your situation, dig up the good in it." This statement is far more valuable then you can imagine. The opposing force behaves as your opponent. This force is utilizing your own energy. By changing your thinking you can weaken the force. Ishtar is called the Lady of Heaven. She stated to Egypt, the land which I love, will I go and wander. A dove is used as a symbol of this goddess. Do the thing and you shall have the power. The access to the higher mind is through silence. An application on the importance for waking up from the coma can be understood from this lecture called The Strangest Secret in the world by Earl Nightingale. This work demonstrates what happens when we decide not to learn how to control our mind. It is a conscious effort. The analogy is that we are earth. The ability to grow anything on the this earth requires change of the conscious state. The lecture will point out the problem, provide a solution, but will not explain why hearers may still be unable to use this knowledge. The reason is they are still sleeping. They contain a sleeping entity inside a shell. As Plato described the (δαίμονε) Daimon in his Cratylus. The Latin is Daemon. You will find this text worth studying. It will answer many nagging questions about yourself. "I suspect something like this. It seems to me that the first inhabitants of Greece believed only in those gods in which many foreigners still believe today—the sun, moon, earth, stars, and sky. And, seeing that these were always moving or running, they gave them the name ‘theoi’ because it was their nature to run (thein). Later, when they learned about the other gods, they called them all by that name. Does that seem likely— or am I talking nonsense?" Socrates All writing systems share a common well. The parts may appear entirely distinct and hard to reconcile. The pull toward an axiomatic ordered progression makes the vulgar blind to the obvious truths. If there is such commonality among the way we create written words than why do we stumble in trying to learn a language foreign to us? The information conveyed in the layers today regarded as a letter or character all involve a sound. The connection of sound and the streamlined image came about in an unlikely way. It was the milky way as opposed to a bark of a tree, the smoothness of sand, and the wall of a large rock. By looking up and not down the answer to how writing came into existence will be sought. The desert provides the answers for it is the metaphor of brain sand. The substance you possess inside your head just like the sahara in Africa resembles the cerebrum. So much for archeology. A mystery yet to be solved. How did this object teleport 5,000 km from the site where it had first been installed? Experts still puzzled by the skill and artistry used by its builders. A picture based economy served the mind. This can only be conceived if a sound is associated with each of the images. This is the stumbling block of the archeological field. The example of an edifice can be obtained. The representative sound comes later when the mind disconnects the physical stone discovery from the linguistic efforts. This is why the understanding that the Egyptian word for cat is Mau loses interest in realizing why the symbol of a cat is used to portray the moon. This moon has centers in the physical body. That is why occultist say there are three moons. Only one of this trinity can be observed. This moon of course is not the moon they are talking about. Two centers that the moon can operate through. A lady clothed by the sun with the moon at her feet is more astrological than realized. Our lady cannot be seen as she is in the sun. This is the Greek Martial bedroom called the Thalamus. A moon at her feet is the Hypothalamus, this is indicated near optic chiasm, and the Pituitary body (gland). The close location of the Optic chiasm aids in part in a physical understanding as to why Hecate is called upon when access is needed. Both Hermes and Orpheus need her assistance. A second moon, not observed, the nervous system responsible for sensation. This is in the lateral ventricle. A vessel filled with spinal fluid. A third moon? Consider the nerves in the throat. The tarot key 2, known as the High Priestess, is associated with the airways to the lungs and throat. The Waite Tarot contains the image of the moon at her feet. One can observe the moon in this image. The Greek mythology has three female deities assigned to the moon.They are Artemis, Selene, and Hecate. Again the trap of seeing only what is popular fails to allow the realization that the forces operating in nature are represented by three distinct different activities. Just as the Sun the stars behave as agents to serve the moon. To learn how these forces actually work leads to how the Spirit and Soul are affected in their growth and development. The study of characters just as the study of alphabets takes us to the stars. Certain letters were sacred and have been transmitted in secret, but not in the sense we regard it now. The sound that the symbols imply were sought after in liturgical music and invocations. You would pick up your ears and say magic! This effect and the attempts at placing them in a sacred way is to ensure the sounds will have the same effect on changing the hours of the participants. By studying the apparent movement of stars in the paranatellon groupings the reader will obtain the ahh-haa moment of why the various states of the mind are called hours. The collection of Genius. That is more than one or Genii are the decans. They play an important role in manipulating matter. This is the description of why the seasons of Autumn and Spring equinoxes reflect the concept of light and dark. This is the mind manipulating matter. Below are concentric circles. Upon examining the design carefully you will discover many relationships placed within the designs. Many of the secrets have not be revealed. As you pause to study this. YOu will make discoveries about yourself. The figures drawn as though they are walking counter clockwise along the edge of the circle are the decans. The zodiac may not appear to be the same. This has made attempts to force the design to include a current model. The image relates a conscious state to a picture. The diagram is a way into the mind just be looking. One of the hidden powers Art has upon our mind. Close examination gives the sensation of motion. Despite being carved upon stone. Incidentally this figure is an example of how Art can be used by the practitioner. What really is displayed is the higher worlds displayed on those tree of life diagrams. Critics have complained that the Egypt sphere on the Dendera Temple ceiling does not depict the stars to allow comparing the stars found in the current astronomy maps. The sacerdotal alphabet used a simpler form. The vowels were A, E, and I. The consonants as well were far fewer. These were L, B, C, D, M, N, and Sh. The one most preserved from the past is Sh. The three vowels indicated life. They were provided in the positive sense. The symbol L represents the negative sense. The ordering of B, C, D, M, and N match up both in an alphabet series as well as in the zodiac. Efforts were implemented to select sounds for these letters that were being utilized in as many languages as possible. This is the meaning behind preserved from the past. If you study how the decans evolve language you will grasp that our speech is also changing. The names are not printed clearly. They are assigned as follows: Aries = Ayin (ע), Taurus = Aleph (א), Gemini = Heh (ה), Cancer = Vau (ו), Leo = Lamed (ל), Virgo = Beth (ב), Libra = Caph (כ), Scorpio = Zain (ז), Sagittarius = Gimel (ג), Capricornus = Tau, tav (ת), Aquarius = Mim, mem ( מ ), Pisces = Nun ( נ). The pictures based on the star patterns were used to derive the letters of the alphabet systems. This also means Greek, Aramaic, Phoenician, Sabean, Nabataean, and so on. Examples of Aramaic, Nabataean, Arabic, and Syriac. The example of Nabataean shows influence of Sanskrit. The culture of Nabataea and Hindustan are related as can be seen in the architectures. Comparing Egyptian Hieroglyphic with Phoenician, Greek, Latin, and Hebrew. The 5 latin letters B C D M and N correspond to B = Scorpio = Zain (ז), C= Sagittarius = Gimel (ג), D= Capricornus = Tau, tav (ת), M = Aquarius = Mim, mem ( מ ), N = Pisces = Nun ( נ). Order of Zodiac Aries = Ayin (ע), Taurus = Aleph (א), Gemini = Heh (ה), Cancer = Vau (ו), Leo = Lamed (ל), Virgo = Beth (ב), Libra = Caph (כ), Scorpio = Zain (ז), Sagittarius = Gimel (ג), Capricornus = Tau, tav (ת), Aquarius = Mim, mem ( מ ), Pisces = Nun ( נ). Order Waite Tarot deck Aries = Hei (ה), Taurus = Vav (ו), Gemini Zain (ז), Cancer (ח), Leo = Tet(ט), Virgo = Yod (י), Libra = Lamed (ל), Scorpio = Nun (נ), Sagittarius = Mem (מ), Capricornus = Ayin (ע), Aquarius = Tzaddik ( צ ), Pisces = Qof ( ק). You will notice if you study tarot that the positions of the keys (the cards) differ from the letters arranged above. In various tarot texts the positions have different orders. The text: The Tarot of the Bohemians by Papus. Consider key 8 is Justice (ה). This order is the same as the Marseille tarot deck. This assignment differs in the Waite deck Consider key 8 is Strength (ט). By noticing that the ordering of a zodiac and hence alphabet differs from the tarot order should awaken a concept within you. We evolve by our thoughts. The images upon the tarot relate to different parts of our higher worlds. The use of the tarot is to construct the etheric body. This is the reason why Waite place hebrew letter directly. Because each key can be numbered that means any alphabet can be employed. Each key and Each letter when matched up, or hence assigned by the operator allows the mind to build the individual parts based on the assignments dictated by the zodiac. When working with a tarot deck it is important to have a diagram of your body. The sections of the body can be indicated. When a change is desired the diagram will help divine how the change is occurring. An example of the assignments is provided here. The designs of the alphabet were intended to provide the study with the knowledge of self. Consider the Hebrew letters tet, ט, and lamed, ל. The images show that the serpent is awaken in tet, but is climbing in lamed. The energy is greater. This 'serpent' is the spinal energy activating. The lion and the serpent are combined in the drawing. This shows the divine fire and prana (प्राण) energy combining. Therefore the activity of the body region can change when using a different painting. The art contains power to influence if the mind decides to use the tools provided. By following the changes of the letter ordering, in the diagram above, you can following the changes that occur within you. In Arabic the zodiac signs for aquarius and pisces are used to create the 13th (م) mim and the 14th (ن) Nin letters. The 13th letter of the Latin alphabet is written a M. There are other pictures for M than the one shown above. The 14th letter is drawn as N. The picture that was used to obtain the letter shows that the two fish operate in different waters. One above, and one below. A rare image of the picture forms will seem surprising. There is far more variation than anticipated from examining newer forms. The role of A E and I are in expressing animation. These letters are used in expressing sensations. Our Gimel provides the power that rules jupiter. The constellation called Sagittarius (Kislev, כִּסְלֵו) is the domicile of Jupiter. The power allows you to replace darkness with light. The sign is the rainbow (keshet, קֶשֶת) in the sky. The symbol of the bow in the picture above relates to the bow of Artemis. The Latin C is based on the image of Sagittarius. All traditions agree. The symbol of the huntress relates the moon center with the nervous system of the body. There are different levels of this system. We are talking about about the Moon sphere region. If the Samoans can steer a ship easily. What does the images in the sky really convey? The idea of holding a map of the universal soul is what the Pythagoreans hinted at. The application of sound to number is key to see how singing and musical scales are related to speech. Example of an Ethiopian music structure. Source Ethiopian Kinit scales, author Ezra Abate. A musical map of this region can be constructed with specific music scales are found. This is similar to the concept of creating linguistic maps were speakers of same dialect reside. The generative center and the center for food digestion are involved in thought production. It is the virgo scorpio joining together that makes thought possible. The merging of these two domains brings about forces that lead to creation. It is the bringing together the fires from these signs onto the earth that result in the making of additional letters to the alphabet. The usage of the current M was obtained from diagrams showing the two types of waters coming together and mingle. Some designs exhibited two serpents, two dragons, Serpents with a man and woman human bodies terminating at the top of the snake. Another version includes the heads of man and woman with snake's bodies. The M has different font character. These are the witnesses mentioned in Revelation 11:3-6. The serpents are entwined together in the form of a knot. This is known in esoteric circles and in common use the design is borrowed to symbolize courtship and marriage. The Superior and inferior waters mix. Protect your seeds and learn the powers that you possess. The knowledge is present in the letters. By working with what you accept as sacred tools allows you to climb and build the city. A vulgar concept of your world weakens you. Just listen to the dialogue of a play, film, or theater. [ 美言可以市尊,美行可以加人] (Your) admirable words can purchase honor; (Your) admirable deeds can raise the thoughts above others. Notice when you speak in purity, your thoughts become pure. To feel one cannot change their thinking is shown once again to be false. What this great wisdom professes is that the man woman symbology refers to the parts of your mind, not different people. Why suffering occurs is a result of misdirecting energy. Your admirable words requires the individual to realize the sacredness of the invocations they are making. The use of Art is to spell out the worlds our mind can travel to. Imagine a word for every access point and destination.
In understanding the message of the medium demands more than familiarizing yourself with the background. We take pride in our abilities with induction and rationalization. Despite being unable to distinguish between no more than three shades of consciousness the air of arrogance stifles our spiritual breath. A exercise in reading esoteric texts can establish the necessary approach to learn how to begin swimming in the fluid called air. This is a finer medium than the coarser stuff used in earth. Bear in mind a simple observation. Between the six moths from the Autumnal equinox until the Vernal equinox what can you perceive about the pair of Moon and Sun in the sky? As you ponder the reasons for what happens to the sun during a full moon consider how these two orbs are described in the poetry of many lands. A far harder question is what does this have to do with my mind? The ancients describe forces in the brain operating in terms if sun and moon. In addition both these orbs relate to different aspects of the soul. These higher metaphors were always intended by the writers of these works. The many combined efforts to elucidate these gems came from the sweat of Plutarch, Macrobius, Diogenes Laertius, Martainus Capella, Lucian, and Suidas. They have shed much knowledge. If only their works can be read. Macrobius offers the wisdom that the soul of the universe is nature itself. In the lore of Egyptian thought a wise approach can be learned. The Egyptian view is that the stuff known as matter is the first principle. The basic building block known as matter is used in combinations to make four elements. These structures provide the living entities out which every species is produced. A rather deep way to understand your world. There is no need to revise or change the form when new discoveries are. Everything fits into the description. The Sun and Moon are gods with the names Osiris and Isis respectively. A statue of Isis from the Roman culture Why is there this frequent references to the position of star patterns in these manuscripts. More importantly why have we lost the ability to understand their value in us? The author Proclus has something to say about the purpose behind these patterns of stars. "There exists a concerted action, and a species of united force and inspection, in all the celestial deities, by means of which all that comes from the earth, and all that appertains to the changes which it experiences, is ruled." This requires an understanding which of these secondary agents of the sun are astrological signs or combinations known as paranetellons. The artistic rendering of these agents provides a way fro the mind to focus on a series of concepts, forces, energy patterns. These are mistakenly pointed out as the deities. Attempts to describe the pictures without knowledge of what is being represented leads to much conjecture as theories cannot be verified. The appearances, disappearances resulting from the risings, and settings actually function to govern the progress of the architect of the universe. The direction of activity involves the stars influences the mental states called the seven planets. These planets modulate the twelve 12 zodiac signs. The signs, in turn, influence the elements. A formula describing such effects is wanting. A Philosopher called Marcus Aurelius was kind enough to point to this system. "Has not each star its peculiar activity or energy ?" "but nevertheless all these differences are combined with one another, so as to form the universal action of nature." Marcus Aurelius ( 1. VI. cap. xxxviii. ) The importance of understanding how the mind and body interact is so great that the information of the Genii was incorporated into the sacred Myths. Such knowledge passes from astrology to astronomy. This is why religions encode this information within their architectures the very same images of the stars. The Mythological fables provide spiritual exercises unknown to the uninitiated. The source of these fables is the universal soul. This is the secret that moves the various heavenly spheres. The representative of the heavenly power is the Sun. As this orb transits a zodiac the energy field cause by the stars is modified by the Paranatellons. It is not difficult to realize what is going on. Some of the stars will rise as some will fall. This provides a wide variation of modulation as the partners dance. As an example: The constellation Gemini rises after Auriga, the charioteer. The passengers present on this constellation are of course three goats (two kids and 1 parent). The goats (kids) are the children of Jupiter. The elder goat is pan. The Domicile of Taurus is Venus The first full moon is Taurus Auriga and Orion are in the paranatellons of Taurus The second full moon occurs in Gemini The Domicile of the Moon is Cancer The plant called Melilot has trefoil leaves. The third full moon occurs in Cancer Each of the characters happen to be found in the night sky. All that Isis was able to find was the crown worn by Osiris. The crown is made from the leaves of the Melilot plant. Isis with the assistance of two dogs helped her find Anibus the son of Nephthys. The Domicile of the Sun is Leo This position is represented by the King of Byblos. He is Adonis. His kingdom is where Isis sought the box containing her husband. The fourth full moon occurs in Leo The king sits upon his throne as the stone known as Cepheus. The court of Byblos includes the wife of the King. She is represented by Cassiopeia. Their lovely daughter is Andromeda, and their son-in-law is Perseus. The court of Byblos fits together in the northern hemisphere. The king and queen can be viewed close to the polar region. The daughter and their son-in-law are close to the zodiac. The Domicile of Virgo is Mercury The fifth full moon in Virgo The Domicile of Libra is Venus The sixth full moon occurs in Libra
How does a Monkey portrayed in a yearly festive parade along the mediterranean end up having its image also being carved into the dry earth in a plain located inside Peru? Sounds like a plot for an excellent story. Why is the drawing of a Monkey so important among many cultures? In the springtime a ceremony to release ships is performed beside the mediterranean coastal areas. This occurs after a winter season of frozen waterways. The date corresponds to when the moon is found to be located at the foot of the constellation of virgo, in the eastern sky. This astrological observation is when spring is to commence. Part of the festivities involves a procession of a tame bear dressed up to look like a lady. The well dressed bear is carried upon a litter. Next in order of appearance is that of a monkey, dressed up in a cloth cap and a Phyrgian dress to resemble the cup bearer Ganymede. In its paws the monkey holds a golden cup. Lastly a donkey appears, adorned with wings and lead by a elder with a lame gait. The event is hosted by a Goddess. The description of the procession comes from the neighboring constellations at the beginning of spring. The monkey comes from a portion of the Great Bear constellation. This is the Ursa Major constellation. The golden cup represents the constellation of the krater. The donkey is derived from the constellation of Pegasus. Following the procession women would appear with flowers in their hair. They would scatter flowers as they walked onto the street. A group of women held mirrors behind them to render homage to the Goddess as she advanced in the parade. A group carried ivory combs. Perfumes were sprinkled upon the street. We are told torches, and candles were part of this event. They represented the stars in the sky. A band provided music. The storms of winter will lose their force. This calms the seas and allows boats to travel safely. In the city of Corinth a sun rise could be experienced with a golden hue. People normally inside come out and begin walking. The sounds of the animals silent from the winter fill the air with joy. Those who presided over the sacred rites walked in the procession next and are dressed according to the following description: The First exhibited a lamp shining with a clear light, not resembling those lamps of ours which illuminate nocturnal banquets ; but it was a golden boat-cup, which emitted a larger flame from an aperture in the middle. The Second was clothed in a similar manner, but carried in both his hands the altars to which the auxiliary providence of the supreme Goddess gave a proper name. The altars symbolize the aid afforded by the deity. The Third proceeded raising a palm tree, the leaves of which were subtilely gilt, and also of Mercurial caduceus. The Fourth exhibited the symbol of Equity. This is described as the left hand fashioned with a palm. The right hand held a golden vessel containing milk. The Fifth carries a golden corn shaped fan. When expanded the fan resembles several branches that are shiny in the sun. The Sixth carries an amphora. [In the next place, without delay, the images of the Gods [carried by the priests of Isis] proceeded, not disdaining to walk with the feet of men; this terrifically raising a canine head; but that being the messenger of the supernaI Gods, and of those in the realms beneath, with an erect face, partly black, and partly of a golden coIour, bearing in his left hand a caduceus, and shaking in his right hand branches of the flourishing palm tree; whose footsteps a cow, in an erect position, immediately followed. This cow was the prolific resemblance of the all-parent Goddess, and was carried on the shoulders of one of the blessed servants of this divinity, and who acted the part of a mimic as he walked. Another carried a cista, or chest, containing arcana, and perfectly concealing the mystic symbols of a magnificent religion. And another bore in his happy bosom the venerable effigies of the supreme divinity, which was not similar to any cattle, or bird, or wild beast nor even to man; but being venerable for the subtilty by which it was invented, and also for its novelty, was an ineffable indication of a more sublime religion, and which was to be concealed in the greatest silence. But this effigies was fashioned after the following manner : there was a small urn, formed of splendid gold, most artificially excavated, the bottom of which was very round, and which was externally engraven with the admirable images of the Egyptians.] From The Metamorphosis of Apuleius Book 1. In Latin the release of ships was called navigium Isidis. This was celebrated on March 5. The Greek name for this event is Ploiaphesia. This event was held in honor for the Goddess Ίσις . Her name in Egypt is known as Auset, Aset, and Iset. The name Auset is still used in Europe. The animals in the precession also are poetic descriptions of physiology and hence ways to operate the higher centers of the mind. The monkey, who wears a cap, plays a very important part in our discussions. So if you are at all curious on what a Phyrgian cap looks like you can view the bas relief above. The figure on the left, in front of the eagle, is called Ganymede. This figure serves the gods as the cup bearer. Such and honor will involve air. The word Phyrgia written in (Φρυγία), deserves special mention as the cap makes its appearance in the Zoroasterian Mithra divinity of light. The cap can also be seen in a painting by Eugene Delacroix called Marianne. The image of the hat is part of a mystic rite. Exoteric circles regard the hat as a representation of Freedom. The cap itself holds a great deal of consideration. We ignore the hidden meaning behind circumcision. Thinking of an act, yet not realizing this has more to do with freeing your mind rather than staying in sleep. To be a sheep is not advantageous. The lamb refers to an organ of the heart. The information in these articles provide knowledge few sources are providing their readers. A question needs to be raised how did Maria Reiche understand that the beautiful picture of a monkey in Nazca was related to the constellation called Ursa Major? The figures made by removing earth from the surface of a region of Peru provides knowledge of how your mind actually works. Pictures of a monkey, spider, and dog when employed along with the lines and geometric figures reveal the mapping of specific nerve clusters in the physical body that interact with the organs and systems displayed in art form. The application of the paranatellons was not limited to one portion of the world. All cultures, and all societies held this knowledge. Despite this few discussions are available to illustrate how the constellation of Ursa Major can in turn be described by broken up into four constellations comprising a Monkey, or Ape, A Hippopotamus, a Lion, and a Crocodile. Please read The Four Genii for additional information on what these images mean and how their roles play out in altar + stage designs. The same monkey in the Roman festival of Navigium Isidis came from the Ursa Major constellation. The physiological function is an underlying feature. It has become a bad habit to illustrate comparative information in different cultures and not close the gap with medical knowledge of the portions of the body that they relate. The sky images produced from the dance performed by constellations by helical rise and fall would make far interesting reading than portraying the art works observed in the Nazca and Ingenio valleys of Peru. The map above reveals several entities. Some of them are identified as animals and insects. Our Monkey appears at the extreme left, beside the dog. The oxidized rock 10 cm in thickness is cleared away revealing white top soil. Despite the strong winds the images are preserved from the effects of the wind The formation of the monkey in the northern sky comes about by considering The constellations Leo Major, Leo Minor, Canes Venatici, and Ursa Major. These are the building blocks of the Monkey paranatellon. The head comes from a star in Canes Venatici. The cross arms are from the stars of Ursa Major. These include Phekda, Megrez, Alioth, and Minzar. The familiar dipper container. The Tail of the Monkey is composed from the two lions. The image of the monkey was also known in very early Egypt. The basis for the four figures of human, lion, eagle, and bull come from the same paranatellon. The Monkey is associated with the element Air and the esoteric body direction called East. The lungs are but a portion of the Monkey picture. One organ is not thought of. This is the airway. The many nerves that provide method to the movement are not considered. To make headway into this knowledge requires understanding the parts of You. An introduction to the nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, the gases, the water vapor, the mixture we call air. The use of Air is of no accident. Our breath is related to the soul. Breathing is very important. The misunderstanding in alchemy of opposites comes from the observation that a substance in air and a substance in water interacts with the body. The images of Nazca are part of a Mystery. That is the sealed knowledge of life. By unsealing the this information you will learn how your mind works. The images and various drawings are the tools to psychology. This place is not a landing field for space craft. The plains provide a dynamic structure to your body. To learn the meaning of the lines and spirals is to learn of advanced performance. The use of dance must be combined with the patterns of breath. A useful text, sadly out of print. The title is The Religions of Profane Antiquity; Their Mythology, Fables, Hieroglyphics and Doctrines. Founded on Astronomical Principles. Author Jonathan Duncan, B. A. Year Published 1840. Anyone reading the articles may desire to request that this book be made more accessible as the information contained within is sorely lacking in these important times. Advances in learning esoteric literature requires knowledge of how the pictures formed in the sky describe processes of yourself, and your mind. The paranatellons differ from the deacans in that these structures require knowledge of both the horizon and the zodiac. In fact observation verses understanding of behavior of the paranatellons points out the problems of accepting Maya at face value. All the stars rise, ascend to the meridian, and descend below the horizon daily, except some stars that are closer to the poles. The apparent movements are classed into three types. These are cosmical, heliacal, and acronycal. The star is classed upon when it sets or rises respect to the sun. Data taken through several millions of years is available for some stars. This is the case for Sirius. These movements allow the constellations to move with respect to each other. A star map provides static images. With imagination it is possible to represent how additional images can be envisioned. In principle the idea will be presented. To make the example easier to work with the monkey will be viewed from the backbone of the monkey. To understand how these images leads to unlocking the hidden meaning of the Journey of Isis as the deity is the full moon transiting a particular house of the zodiac. The journey of the moon in 1 year encounters a host of images. This really involves activation of organs in the body. The Osiris-Seth story is a process for the adepts. The names themselves represent forces that are involved in us. The dream world drives the assumption that these carvings and paintings depicting Horus through the ages from child to adult are foreign to the reader. The drama read from the star motion are actually the functioning and interplay of the various organs of the physical body. The strong desire to separate subjects prevents the academics from realizing how important Mythology is when taken alongside Medical research and astrology. Today even the Yoga practitioner along with the physicist is looking into the study of the Mind. What a weather calendar to some reveals can be understood from psychology. The Middle Ages of Europe described the emotions that affect us in terms of climate. A container of a humor, located in the cerebrum, is squeezed slightly to release some of its contents. The fluid released travels along the winds. The word wind refers to nerves involved in signaling what will become our passions and feelings. The concept of climate changing is how we control ourselves. The information on how the star patterns can be derived is available. It is even possible to represent the image by a computer program. There has been no attempt to do so as of yet. This is unusual as having the sky images explained from the the point of view of the parade members will aid in understanding the exercise movements employed. The exoteric presentation in the ceremony may seem comical yet it is valuable information to the initiate in order to proceed with the inner mysteries. The true meaning of inner is the events within the physical body. Try to use a software called Stellarium. It allows the sky to be viewed at different times. A simulation of the night sky. website: http://stellarium.org/ Stellarium Four Spirals have been noter so far. The backbone is in the northern direction.
Further Reading The Metamorphosis (Golden Ass) by Apuleius Another copy of The Metamorphosis (Golden Ass) by Apuleius The Epiphany of Isis from the Golden Ass by Apuleius Experts will continue to argue what the Metamorphosis is about until it is realized that the author is describing his initiation into the sacred Eleusinian Mysteries held in Greece. Notice this important clue in the eleventh book. The passage connects the elements and the concept that the forces of nature, represented by deities, transform into one another. [I who am Nature, the parent of things, the queen of all the elements, the primordial progeny of ages, the resemblance of gods and goddesses.] This is followed by a passing remark to the Egyptian rites. [The Phrygians call me Pessinuntica.....and the Eleusinians, the ancient Goddess Ceres....the Ethiopians, the Arii......and the Egyptians skilled in ancient learning, worshipping me by ceremonies perfectly appropriate, called me by my true name, Queen Isis.] The prime importance of the initiation experience is the cycle of voluntary transformation followed by rebirth. The desire to make the change comes from within. Those not interested will view the text differently their impressions will be of a comedy or of a weird story where the ending has no correlation with the plot. On the other hand the initiate repeats what Persephone has to do at rebirth in the spring upon her return from under the Earth. This is the so called underworld, the land of the sacral plexus. This reference is to our sleeping selves. The gift of the ceremony is the control of the elements. "I saw the Sun shining at midnight with a radiant light." A further analysis of the midnight sun At midnight I saw the sun shining with a splendid light." The midnight sun was also part of the mystery of alchemy. This symbolizes the spirit in man shining through the darkness of his human organisms. With spiritual site the spiritual sun can now be observed. The mystic could see as well at midnight as at high noon, the material earth bring powerless to obstruct the rays of this Divine orb. The ability to see spiritual events with spiritual eyes is not achieved in the sleeping state of the mechanical mind. This is exemplified in the article "Seeing God" by David Bentley Hart, 2013. We have a misconception about what the abyss actually is. Literature sources speak of this region in murky fashion. The abyss can be found in Mystical literature as well as in fantasy texts, Authors of mythology mentioned the word often associated with creation, and of course occult works touch on it. Even though there are a wide list of areas for the student to choose from. Finding any information appears to require a personal visit to the abyss. A perusal of current examples can be seen in the presentation above. Artists have made a variety of images to represent the Abyss. The range of images reflects what little we know. It is knowledge and the wisdom that separates us from the Adept. Only when you are prepared can you enter the Abyss. Therefore change is a prerequisite. J. R. R. Tolkien used the word in one of his works. The mind has trouble distinguishing products of its own creation. The word fantasy for fiction demonstrates just how powerful your mind truly is. A word of caution is needed for the author may not intend to teach occult knowledge by borrowing a word from that subject. After all it is also possible the author did not know of the source of the word. Lets examine how the word is used by the author. Gandalf speaks " You cannot pass, 'he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. 'I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.' " " A blinding sheet of white flame sprang up. The bridge cracked. Right at the Balrog's feet it broke, and the stone upon which it stood crashed into the gulf, while the rest remained, poised quivering like a tongue of rock thrust out into emptiness. With a terrible cry the Balrog fell forward, and its shadow plunged down and vanished. " " He staggered and fell, grasped vainly at the stone, and slid into the abyss. 'Fly, you fools!' he cried, and was gone. " Title: The Fellowship from the ring, Author J. R . R. Tolkien, Year Published 1954, Publisher Allen& Urwin The concept of falling is implied by Tolkein. Do the thoughts we receive from Kether "fall" as the emanation from Binah crosses over to Chesed? From the diagram nothing appears to be slipping, sliding, or falling. The idea may come from where the abyss is located. There is of course no information of a sensation of falling. Where then does this idea come from? The word Abyss is used in diagrams of the Tree of Life. One feature can be understood at a glance. The top triangle consisting of Kether, Chockmah, and Binah are distinguished from the remaining seven circles below. These circles are also called Sephiroth. These are worlds themselves. Yet they differ from the the three of the highest triangle. The Greek word for the Sephiroth of the first triangle is Logos (λόγος). This is called the supernal triangle. To reach this triangle from the lower seven Sephiroth requires crossing the abyss. Aischylos (Αἰσχύλος), the author of the work entitled Prometheus Bound provides knowledge of the celestial heavens. Each of the figures below correspond to the actors of the work. To understand this one must consider 48 constellations. Each tradition will have a unique number of these star fields. How the stars arrange provide a energy. This energy provides a force. The choice of the picture is determined by events on earth, not by events above. This is a misunderstanding about astrology. The star known as the pole star is called The Sun. Where this sun is located during its revolution maps out the seven lords of Eternity. Each constellation confers a portion of the physical body. The constellation The constellation of Hercules shares a center in the prostate (male) and the uterus (female). These organs connect to centers of Draco (the dragon) and Lyra. The constellation of the harp called Lyra has a center in the brain. The structure resembles strings of a harp and is located just above the fornix. Ursa minor has a center in the spleen. It is important to understand that the lords are powers. They appear differently in nature as they approach upon rays. Using the Khemet tradition (1) Dark is Sut, (2) Light is Adult Horus, (3) The power of breath is Shu, (4) Water is Nnu (Hapi), (5) Earth is Tuamutef (Seb), (6) Fire is Khabsenuf, (7) Blood is Child Horus. How the universe is arranged. The structure of the celestial sphere reveals that these 48 constellations are partitioned into four sectors. Each sector or zone contains 12 of these force maps. Remember that the constellations are fields of energy that are able to provide forces. You experience these forces acting throughout the centers operating in you. The viewpoint is from The City. This is why the name Babylon is the occult meaning for body. To view the stars requires a frame of reference so that the viewer is observing the body represented in the heavens. Therefore the description requires a northern latitude orientation. In order to understand this information it is required to study the trajectory of a helix. The stars and planets follow this motion when viewed from the city. Diagrams unfortunately neglect the city view and show the patterns viewed from the outside. This does not preserve the helical shape resulting in confusion. The position of the observer is important. A helical trajectory. If the numbers on the vertical axis were altitude then this would show a star or planet rising on a helical path. This would be a star-rising, or planet-rising. If the arrow was reversed, then the diagram would show a star-setting, or planet-setting. Note the result of a helical path. Look at the lemniscate traced out by the tangent line between the planet on the helical line. This is very important to realize how this figure forms and why. A helical current traveling along the spine as depicted by any of the the energetic nerve channel called ida, Pingala, and Sushumna. Source: Discussion with Teachers, Author: Rudolf Steiner, Publisher Anthroposophic Press, Publication year 1997 In order to understand why the caduceus appears on statues, paintings and drawings the tracing of the lemniscate must by the parts of the caduceus must be identified. This allows you to learn how these lemniscates form about you. This pattern is called the life power and is observed on the tarot key of Strength, and the key of the Magician. This shows a helical current is established in the central figures depicted. Details are so important. Each design, from color, to objects all refer to you. This even includes the type and number of flowers, and leaves as well as their location. All provide information on neuroscience. The celestial sphere actually needs to be understood in terms of the different regencies. They are names as Sky, Ocean, Earth, and Fire. In the case of Fire this maybe described as rivers. This description depends on the tradition you are working with. The patterns formed are assign to each of these different regions. The assignments depend on whether the constellation is helical rising or setting with respect to a zodiac constellation. Such knowledge can be found in the presentations of a given tradition. This is how the information contained in the work is mapped to a series of constellations. A given paranatellon can contain one, two, three, or several constellations. Some constellations can appear in more than one paranatellon. The decision to include or exclude a constellation depends on its helical trajectory with respect to a zodiac reagent. This also means that the constellation does not have to be close by to the zodiac member. This makes a paranatellon assignment different from a decan assignment. Early traditions assigned 48 images. They are not distributed evenly throughout the celestial sphere. The central band consists of 12 zodiac constellations. The remaining 48 - 12 = 36 constellations are obtained from 21 constellations in the northern hemisphere and 15 constellations in the southern hemisphere. This means 21 + 15 = 36 by combining the populations of the northern and southern provides the remaining 36. By understanding how the star pattern arrangement contributes to the centers in the physical body provides knowledge on how the organs and hence how thoughts interact. Sector 1 This is known as the circle of apparition. This means that the constellations at the northern pole never appear to the viewer to set. They are always present regardless of the season. The regent of this land is called the Sky god. The constellations labelled Cepheus, and Cassiopeia are not as they might seem. In each tradition they take on the desired personalities of the operator. The Greek Mysteries reveal that the king and queen of heaven are (Uranus) Ouranos (Οὐρανός) and Gaia (Γαῖα). These positions are the same for the titan rulers. The powers of the titans are Ophion (Ὀφίωνος) and Eurynome (Εὐρυνόμη). The images selected are for the needs of the traditions being used. The symbols of the drawings describe the attributes of the powers. Sector 2 This is known as the circle of occultation. This is the zodiac. Due to the fact that the view from babylon makes the constellations appear to rise and set provides a deeper meaning to this region. Just as animals swim in the water and may surface the sector of animals is called the Great Sea of Life. The influence on psychic phenomena is a result of this water connection. The regent of this land is called the Sea god. Sector 3 This is known as the Abyss. The constellations viewed from Babylon do not include these hidden fields. They cannot be seen in the northern hemisphere. A hidden view implies we are looking at an internal world. In the Greek Mysteries the place of Hades and Tartarus refers to regions of the physical body. The regent of this place is called the Earth god. Knowledge of this region is so sacred it was often not revealed in some traditions. This was placed upon those seeking the true path. The above diagram shows how the four regencies are assigned to a zodiac. Once these quadrants are fixed then the paranatellons can be assigned. Source Restored New Testament, by James Morgan Pryse, Publisher James Morgan Pryse, 1914 The constellation called the serpent held by Prometheus is a representation of the Devine Fire. Sector 4 This is the regency of the fire god. The constellations must be assigned. You will find in various traditions this area is omitted. The structures must be built by the adept. No informations comes from without. This must be achieved by the individual. The images above are pointing to the answer. After Hades there is Tartarus. To understand what these words means consider Sisyphus. He is condemned to roll a massive boulder up the top of a steep incline, only to watch it roll down and repeat the process. This is the process of the pulmonary system. The air inhaled by the lungs drives the blast furnace. Air is needed for the processing of food. The lungs therefore are a part of Tartarus. Another member of Tartarus you perhaps know full well by the name Tantalus. Listen to how Tantalus is to be punished. "Tantalus was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches. If he hungered for the fruit the attempt to reach for the fruit would cause the branches to raised high enough to be beyond his grasp. How about drink? Should he bend down to cup his hand for some water. The pool of water would recede. This makes a drink impossible. Over his head towered a threatening stone. This means that Sisyphus was nearby. The information provided describes the portion of the body called the diaphragm. The Greek Mysteries introduce the student to the portions of the physical body. This is Babylon. 12 constellations map to Hades and 12 constellations map to Tartarus to complete the 48 constellations that combine to describe YOU. The father of Sisyphus is Aeolus (Αἴολος). He is keeper of the winds. The winds are the nerves responsible for transmitting emotions. This information points toward the organs of the body. How does working with your mind and personality depend on your organs? More importantly why are vital organs present in places called Hades and Tartarus? This knowledge demands a greater respect for yourself and a way to understand what Hades refers to. It is said that the ruler of Hades has dominion over all the metals in the earth. These metals are what the alchemist refer to. They can be found deep inside the mountains. These of course refer to the nerve centers. The solar plexus is one of them and is called Tin. The astrological representation of the Abyss reveals that an anatomy text holds the answer to the physical contents of the Abyss. The figure named Orion is related to the nervous system. The constellations of Lupus, Canis Minor, and Major relate to control of the limbs, lungs, and precious organs by the nerves from the cerebellum and cerebrum. Perhaps some of this information can be revealed without letting out too many secrets. Pay attention to the rather attractive figure on the lower left. This is one of Aries decans. The observation that this constellation is the southern hemisphere and hence a member of the Abyss is very insightful. Alchemist say that their antimony is submerged and has to be raised. This implies that the substance is present in a lower state and must be converted to a higher state. The constellation named Cetus has a center operating in the Thalamus. It is the alchemical antimony that has transferred over into the idea of enhancement. The Egyptian texts describe antimony with the thalamus by representing the hemisphere of the brain as an eye. Philosophical antimony is far different as it has profound effects upon personality. Other members in the abyss include the stomach and small intestine. Therefore the vagus nerve system is also present in the southern hemisphere as the the hydra water snake and the solar plexus where the solar deity is born. This is represented by 13 stars that are described as a container. Dion Fortune pointed out that normal human consciousness cannot cross the abyss. We might at first find it odd that personality resides in Mount Olympus just above the kidneys. This is so close to where the sacrum is located. This of course is where earth is. The scared fire was taken from the olympian gods and given to the dwellers of the earth by prometheus. Despite the closeness, barriers and guardians do exist to prevent such intermingling. Their nature requires knowledge of yourself. Rational accounts of the origins of Myths are useless as they fail to provide knowledge of the physiologic function. It is this source that explains their is something more to astrology than how it is currently employed today. In order to learn what types of images are observed as the stars undergo their helical motions we need to know about the motion of the moon. This falls to Io, she is the lunar soul of the mind. All the characters in Prometheus Bound are a part of us. They are the forces that operate in nature. Io has a counter part in the search for Osiris. This is the moon traveling the zodiac when full. She is the faithful wife of Osiris. The flora and fauna, the various actors met during the epic are the images formed from the resulting paranatellon. This is the actual source for the story imagery. This is the correct way the myths were designed. The knowledge contained in the Myths are complex exercises for organ development. As Io makes her journey crossing the Mediterranean sea from Italy unto Egypt the moon must transit likewise from Virgo to Libra [The Fire Altar] to Scorpio. This is where the confusion from history begins as myth ends when in fact it was always the pictures created in the starry night sky. This is also why energy fields exist in the building blocks known as the constellations. The pictures that are made as they arise while the zodiac constellation sets provide the energy patterns within us. This is what the Emerald Tablet provides us" That which is above is from that which is below, and that which is below is from that which is above, working the miracles of one." This is the physical interpretation of how the body relates in earth and in heaven. A more advanced understanding implies what each Sephiroth provides above reflects to another below. The work of Prometheus Bound has embedded in the description the creation of the subtle body. As Io make the journey through the zodiac she is acquiring a new subtle body with 12 vital centers. "I rushed with manic boundings to the sweet stream of Kerchneia and the fountain of Lerna." The fountain of Lerna is the Krater mixing bowl. This is a southern paranatellon of Leo. When the soul drank from the bowl it will lose its memory of the higher worlds. Lerna is the land of swamp where the water snake called Hydra resides. This describes the vagus nerve as a water snake. The deep or abyss is connected to Carpricorn. There is a lack of observation that prevents any paranatellon to be seen south of this astrological sign. The Sun itself reaches the greatest declination in the southern direction. The portion of the celestial sphere laying unseen in the north is assigned as the abyss. This is under the rule of Capricorn. Such a place is the psychic world. Close your eyes now. Can you observe this world? The chimeric sign represents the reincarnating soul. Opposite to Capricorn can be seen Cancer. The southern paranatellon is the ship. The constellation argo maps to the psychic body. The fish part of Capricorn is the lunar body. Zeus is the world soul. In us Zeus represents the life-energy. This energy allows the functioning of life's processes. The Titans are imprisoned in the place called the body. At birth regulatory functions are necessary not creation. The ability to achieve spiritual freedom requires the individual reader become the conqueror and ruler over your own psychic nature that is in the abyss. Prometheus who is chained to the physical body and represents the spirit self. The intuition knows that a hero that is part flesh and part God will save him. This is Hercules. The sanskrit word Manas (मनस्), is the spirit self. When thinking of the word Prometheus think of the spirit self. The Bowl or Krater constellation along the back of Hydra is the site where the soul and matter first meet. The concept of oblivion is actually when matter enters into the recesses of the soul. A mixing of matter with soul occurs. This is why the Krater in Greek is described as a mixing bowl. When the souls enter the bowl they experience their first event of intoxication since they have left the spiritual world. As the soul moves from one planet world to the next a new piece of clothing is contributed as a gift. In the case of the sub lunar world a luminous body is presented. Being drunk little can be remembered. It is up to the student to make the path of return. Further Reading Prometheus Bound (Προμηθεὺς Δεσμώτης) text The second tarot key is labelled with the hebrew letter (ב) pronounced as Gimel. The letter has an unusual appearance. It is described as a camel. The shape is a conformation of the body to utter a sound when joining the higher triangle to the lower triangles. The process of the silver star allows a way to cross the abyss from the soul. The lower ego intelligence is a starting point. This conscious state is represented by the 6th sephira and is called Beauty or Adornment. It is pronounced as (Tiphareth, Tiferet) and written in hebrew as (תִּפְאֶרֶת). The actual path is number 13. This state is called the Uniting Intelligence, and it is named thus because it is itself the Essence of Glory. To ponder the meaning. Consider that this path is the Consumation of the Truth of individual spiritual things. We are approaching the potential from the ethical. In so doing the camel can be of use to us. The center image of the High Priestess actually holds the answer for how to make this journey. This path leads to the ability to carry out the thought forms of the universe. It is interesting that this description does not speak of falling but of traversing a path. The path of the abyss implies a topology. Writers refer to the abyss as a reflection. It is a special type of reflection where the image inverts itself. The sphere marking the center is used to show how the triangles change their orientation with respect to each other. The silver sphere is called the center of inversion, or it is described as an inversion center. Upon examination of the two triangles above we observe how the abyss changes the orientation. A triangle of fire can become a triangle of water. A triangle of air can become a triangle of earth. An orientation of a triangle should be of concern when studying the mind. What are your priorities? What do you value less. Who are you? These can be assigned to the lines and points of the (vertices). How would our personality change if the triangle was in a different orientation. A Lesson from an Akkadian cuneiform tablet In the Babylon Mystery the role of the bird and the Krater play very important parts. Out of the Krater arrives the children given birth by Tiamut (Tiamat). The source of life comes from the living souls infused into the child by their heavenly mother. This is the storm bird Hu Khu. The conceiving mother is called the abyss. Source: The Ruling Races of Prehistoric Times by J. F. Hewitt, published 1894 The abyss contains the Sea of Brass. This is a reference to the souls. The reason for this can be understood by the shape of the foetus (fetus) it can be represented by the number 9. This is why the number is referred to as the seminal soul. Both the shining one and the word used in situ the serpent can be represented by a 9. The hebrew word for brass (נְחָשׁ) [Nechash] and serpent (נָחָשׁ) [Nachash] have similar sound when pronounced. In J. R. R. Tolkien's Two Towers we are told by Gandalf that he changed from Grey to White as the result of returning from the abyss. The Tincture or color describes personality. The psychic world is described to be inhabited with entities. This borderland region is just as important as other parts. Spiritual independence requires this region. There is often talk of freedom and seeking independence. There is no discussion that the source for these words exist in the execution of attaching the head to the body. The worlds of the logos when combined with the seven pillars below require applying glue to the abyss. This prevents separation. The various faces in the photo above mirror the higher worlds. It is their reflections that gaze back at them. This must be realized. Nothing is foreign.
