There is recent chatter of nations that build occult structures into their capitals. This has been going on for a very long time and is in no way a new phenomenon. The above building is a case in point. Not only is it based on occult principles actual occult ceremonies used to take place there. What short of activities occurred? Was it like in the movies? Did weird things happened? Well inside you might find this object. It is not from outer space. It does describe the elements of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. Not the common objects you might find in your room. To understand this building and what used to go on inside we need to know bit of geography and an old text. Originally the ceremony was held on Mount Taishan (Shan means Mountain), until 1420 AD. Government ceremony's continued in the round shaped building up until the early 20th century. Today people make their own personal journey to worship. Whether in private, on a bus, or on a mountain. Taishan is regarded as sacred. Remember esoteric references refer to mountains as the place of mediation. the right hemisphere of the brain, where the pineal gland is located. We being in the kingdom that is poor in spirit tend to look for physical metaphors for metaphysical concepts. Climbing an actual mountain is not necessary. Quieting the heart, and stomach nerves is. The objective is to let the higher mind work in cooperation with the lower minds. This is where the old text comes in. The actual ceremony was called the worship of Heaven and Earth. Where does this come form? It is from a prayer known as The Our Father Invocation. The key to the passage is the phrase "Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven." To understand the invocation one has to examine the meaning of each word with the Tree of Life structure and the tree's relationship to the human body. Just as a person a family or a community or a country or a planet can be used as the subject of the invocation. This is the reason for why capitals are planned with utmost detail to create structures resembling altars, or obelisks. The mountain of Taishan is part of a 5 mountain system that is part of the body of Pan Gu (盤古). In addition to Taishan (泰山) [Head] (in Shandong) there is Heng Shan (衡山) [Right Arm] (in Hunan), Heng Shan (恒山) [Left Arm] (in Shan Xi), Song Shan (嵩山) [Abdomen] (in Henan) and Hua Shan (华山) [Feet] (in Shan Xi). Note the analogy of John's body and the the churches in Asia. Which are the chakras along the spinal column. In this case Pan Gu is the tree of life for a human figure represented by mountains and the plains and valleys in between. This implies rivers and lakes are vital organs and circulatory systems. Using the mountains as a guide a cross with the head points toward the Shandong Peninsula Our discussion focuses on the red dot mountains. The purple stars refer to Buddhist sacred mountains. With Tai Shan as the head the cross points toward Shandong Peninsula as well as the Korean Peninsula. Notice how the Yellow river follows along the head, abdomen, and feet. This river provides the cerebrospinal fluid. It is this reason why the river is called Yellow. The Tree of Life describes Heaven and Earth in terms of the body. The Heaven refers to the Head at Taishan. The Earth for Pan Gu is the feet at Huashan. A Cross in China marked off by 5 mountains. Notice how the head of the Man points towards Korea.

We do not notice the images on the cards. The objects of our day to day lives do not allow for inferences. A meditation on theses cards may hold the viewer in awe. Why does the K and J of Spades look away from the Pip symbol?
The image of the bone system on the far left resembles a device used in the garden. It is called a spade. The original meaning of the Spade pip is a representation of the human sacrum. The Latin translation into English is Sacred. Why is this bone sacred? Throughout the world it is called the resurrection bone. The Masons hold this bone to be in high esteem. All this time people associated the cards with gambling. Yet there is so much neurophysiology written on the symbols. The Readers of this blog are too young to appreciate a spoken-word piece or song entitled a deck of cards. One version can be found in Mary Bacon's World. An old text from the 1700's. This is recently republished in 2010 by Threshold Press. Mary Bacon's version is from April 20, 1762. The story was yet again used in a British text entitled: The Solider's Almanack, Bible And Prayer Brook. The site of the book is "The History Of Playing Cards with Anecdotes Of Their Use In Conjuring, Fortune-Telling And Card-sharping" by S. Taylor B. A. (Editor) 1865.
Further reading The MesoAmerican Sacrum Bone: doorway To The Other World. By Brian Stross. This is an excellent read. Mary Bacon's World by Ruth Facer. The Deck of Cards story. There are many versions of this recitation. Depending on the needs the story was modified. "There is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday...two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East,.." Aldous Huxley, From Brave New World Where did the author obtain this word? What exactly is Soma? A visual representation can be seen below in the diagram presented. The drawing is called Soma. In a spiritually poor kingdom Soma must be a drug to make us happy. In fact this substance is produced in our bodies. Notice there are ten horses pulling this chariot. The use of chariot and wheels, and horses are often found in esoteric texts. An important aside is that in early days of Egypt the chariot, we are told, did not exist until 16 century BC when the Hyksos arrived. Perhaps the chariot was not used as a tool for warfare until then. The horse and donkey were used quite often to refer to mental states. To aid people in dealing with abstract concepts paintings, words, and music were employed for the mind to focus on. Soma is also associated with the moon. See image below: In fact the association of the moon implies that this Soma depends on a cyclic rhythm of a minimum and a maximum level. This means that Soma has a variable concentration depending on how the moon appears to us in the sky. It is related to a cycle of time. Like a lunar calendar would provide information as to the amount of Soma was present. Notice there is mention of the direction East in Brave New Worlds. East is the location of the Pineal Gland in the brain. Such an allusion as always in pop literature is to allow people to wake up from their deep sleep. The texts from where Huxley obtained his information was the Rig Veda. This text is constructed into a series of 10 books called Mandalas. Each of these Mandalas has hymns that vary from 80 to 192. Throughout the text you will find Soma discussed. The English translation was published in 1896 by Ralph T. H. Griffith. Yet the work on translating the text begun around 1815. The current date to when the text was written is 1500-1200 BC (BCE). It probably is even older. As the texts for its sources are not known. To gain its full effect it would be best to sung in the original text. Soma is spinal fluid. The fluid or Soma is produced in four ventricles located in the brain. Inside a ventricle are cells called Ependyma. The actual cells can shown in a 400 x magnification below Imagine then that art, music, and voice were used in the maintenance of glandular function, and to repair the body when damaged. The image below relates the phases of the moon, and the zodiac, and the seven planets. The Sun is included as planet. These are not physical planets but used in neuroendocrinology.
The Vitruvian Man is reproduced for monographs on technology. It shows our cleverness. IT has become an idol for invention, and discovery. Why do we use symbols in music, art, films, internet and print media? Symbols are formulated to clarify truths which in their abstract form are incomprehensible. Idolatry consists in the inability of the mind to differentiate between the symbol and the abstract principle for which it stands. by Manly P Hall Taken from Lectures On Ancient Philosophy. What was the original intention behind this symbol? The figure comes from a member of an order in Rome called the Collegia. The person we are speaking is called Vitruvius. Only to the one who has the ears to hear and the eye to see can understand his work. The masterpiece in question is text on building. The assumption is that the focus is on building edifices, theaters, indoor plumbing, and of courses temples and palaces. Masonry is an art full of secrets. In order to read his book on architecture you must understand what Vitruvius is actually building. This throws off the uninitiated from opening the text and obtaining the desired information. Vitruvius described the building of a temple based on the proportions of a human. In 1490 CE Leonardo da Vinci worked on a rather unusual drawing shown above. All is not what it seems with Leonardo's work. No one has noticed that the drawing is two separate drawings. It is not, as many surmised, a square inscribed in a circle. The figure inscribed into the square is the two dimensional representation of the city. The drawing of a human figure arranged in the form of a cross is a cube. Notice in the second drawing of the circle. The circle is higher than the square. This shows an increase in evolution.The figure in the circle has the arms and legs spread out farther. Early films about Leonardo portrayed this image as a study of flying. In actuality this drawing shows the representation of the 5 elements. These are in the west known by the names: Quintessence (also called spirit), Water, Fire, Earth, and Air. The head represents spirit. In the square the figure represents 4 elements. The drawing shows how we can manifest control of the elements in a graphically representation. It demonstrates the evolution of human consciousness. The ability to understand that woman is a four dimensional being and man is a three dimensional being is necessary but not sufficient. One the great uses of Alchemy work was in the ability to inscribe a circle into a square. This paved the way to the study of Geometry. In the story of the Full Metal Alchemist the Brothers search for the Philosopher's Stone. Despite much research into the nature of Alchemy the concepts are lost to them. They seek in vain to find what they need by traveling to North, East, and Central.

This can take several entries to accomplish. The comic art form allows more information to be imparted than a single painting. A reason for the popularity and the increase use of movie productions are all indicators that alchemy is being incorporated into the character development. Photo Credit Fantastic Four Jack Kirby, Marvel Comics, 1961 A reference to the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water is shown in the Fantastic Four series. From the work an understanding of how these elements can manifest in our physical world is possible. There is a Jack Kirby interview and here are the marvel interviews of Jack Kirby.

Compare this design with the sculptor Szukalski's piece below. These works describe the concept of many are one. The comic superhero utilizes the same principles that adapts use. This is demonstrative of the hero taking the position of Beauty on the Tree Of Life. The same position that Krishna, Quetzalcoatl, David and Moses.

Mister Miracle series shows in the meeting of Himon and Metron how the mind uses the elements to create on the earth. When confronted with the question what does Myrrh mean in the above text there is the tendency to go for an encyclopedia. The scientific approach is to obtain the chemical formula. This is not always trivial and can take time. Knowing this still does not explain the meaning of these nouns in the above text. Color and texture offer no clue as which is Myrrh and which is Frankincense. Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the powders of the merchant? The solution to this problem is to look at what do these perfumes refer to. Further into the Song of Songs chapter 4 verse 6 there is an association with a mountain and a hill. Myrrh is on a mountain and Frankincense is located on a hill. A mountain is a reference to the higher mind, the brain. The hill is. a reference to the lower mind, the heart. Comparing the perfumes to their respective constellations rounds out the explanation. The perfume Myrrh is associated with Aries. This means Myrrh refers to the head as Aries is responsible for the head. This is demonstrated by the glyph of Aries which looks like a face. two eyes and a nose. The perfume Frankincense is associated with Leo. This means Frankincense refers to the heart. The meaning behind the astrological symbols is the functions the constellations have over physiology. Aries glyph indeed shows a head with two eyes and a nose. This implies the signs association with the head and higher brain function. The glyph for Leo resembles a heart and spinal column. The 3:6 passage is an instruction on how to leave the wilderness of the physical world. To do so we must purify and clean out higher and lower mind of our misconceptions, unpleasant false thoughts. Many have study this book for a literal interpretation and have speculated who the person is the author writes about. In realty it is an alchemy book. Think about this when you try to read the Song of Songs again. Further reading on the literal meaning of the perfumes. research paper Another reference is made to three gifts to a child, confer Mathew 2:1-12 for the details. What does Myrrh and Frankincense mean in this passage ? Why is gold included ? The answer comes from looking at a physiology map of the nerves in the body. Gold refers to the solar plexus. These nerves are associated with the sun. Gold refers to the sun in appearance. As can be seen in the diagram there are many nerves in the region between the heart and pelvis. The passage refers to our nervous system and mind directly. Myrrh (the brain), Frankincense (the heart nerves), Gold (the solar plexus nerves). This demonstrates that the new testament passage is an alchemy reference. the science of alchemy stresses control of the bodily functions by mediations, breathing patterns, and certain physical exercises. Bartolome Esteban Murillo 1660 AD
Beautiful work was done by the artist in the design. The figure above deserves special comment. It is full of the symbolism taken from The Tree of Life geometry. Notice the Gold dome representing the house the brain resides in supported by the two columns. If you focus carefully at the central figure it can appear as a person with legs in a crossed position siting upon a lotus. Another image is that of the Pineal Gland flanked by the left and right hemispheres of the brain. An Another a Heart. An still another as a flower. There are seven kinds of Gold mentioned in manuscripts. These are Zahav, Zahav Too, Zahav Ofir, Zahav Mufaz, Zahav Shechut, Zahav Parvaim, Zahav Sagur. In a book called the Zohar I:249 comes the beautiful passage. "From the beating of the sun's rays on the mountains, dust becomes Gold." Understanding what these different kinds of Gold are is our Right To Know. Seeking the truth is one of the universal laws. It is possible through meditation and prayer to transform Silver, Copper, and the Mercury into Gold. Those that are committed to the path will learn that these processes shall make each one precious and rarer than any kind of Gold known. The Splendor of zahav cometh out of the north; with Elo'ah is awesome hod. This is taken from a manuscript entitled Job 37:22. This passage may associate the Medulla Oblongata with the kidney as a method to control blood pressure through mediation. Indeed other texts associate the Medulla Oblongata with the Mouth of God and the third eye chakra. Another chakra with multifunctions is the Brow Chakra. Multiple vortices are a part of this chakra. Under its control is the pineal gland, The sympathetic nervous system. The endocrine system, and the sense organs. Alot of activity. It chakra theory these wheels do not stand still. They always are rotating at a specific frequency. In the brow there are two major and 96 smaller vortices. The olive bodies can be discerned in the drawing above. This view gives the appearance that the medulla oblongata is s goblet, or chalice. This is also why it is called the golden chalice, as well as the holy grail. Additional lore involves the structure that holds the olives. This is referred to as a pyramid. The ubiquitous architecture of a pyramid once again resembles something associated with the brain. The role this component of the brain plays with religions can be understood when the nerves involved in controlling the tongue are routed through here. The nerves inside the olives are classified into two circuits. The Greater shown above, and the lesser displayed below. Further reading

You can get a lot of complicated answers to this question. Indeed there is a lot of literature out on where the mountains are located. This map portents to hold the answer. Almost any quest will involve a map to find a treasure. A better location might be found by the sculptor below. This piece of work is noted as the palace of the Western Queen Mother. The mountains are hard to detect. The presence of a pineal gland came be detected. Just where are these mountains? In esoteric texts mountains refer to higher states of mental thought. The Nei Jing Tu (Written right to left) is an alchemist's dream come true. It represents a human. You can make out the mountains at the top of the figure. Further reading
White Moon on the Mountain Peak, by Damo Mitchell, Published 2016 ISBN-13 978-1848192560 ISBN-10 1848192568 Amazon A great introduction into how alchemy works. The Way of the Golden Elixir A book that changed the western approach to modern psychology The Secret of the Golden Flower The stream of existence is manifested as light from the divine being of God. The closer we are the stronger the impact is felt. As an artist the reasoning going into a drawing might not focus much on the halo. How many halos should I give? One, two, five, nine? The flame and light may not enter one's thought. A lot of work did go into the halo. Not all halos must be circular. They can be pointed. One reason for so much effort is the fact that the halo is a very old design. The halo can involve multiple halos with shapes like ellipses, and circles. Not all halos are alike. The halo for each entity is different. An Angel. Notice the symbol upon the forehead. An Archangel A saint Notice the eight pointed star on the dress, on the right hand side of the image. Can you see the Third Eye symbol? It is often missed. Looking for text on the subject is not easy. Yet the rules for drawing the halo were clearly defined. As an exercise. Take a compass and determine the extent of a circular halo emanating from a head. Next determine the radius. You will find that the origin of the circle corresponds in the human body where the Pineal Gland is located. These artists knew precisely to show that the halo has at its center the pineal gland. This particular painting has at the top the moon and sun. They refer to the lunar and solar currents that intertwine upon our spine and provide the sacred breath. The halo can be in the form of a flame, It can be in the shape of a lotus flower. The halo can be emanating from the solar plexus. In this example their are two halos. One is centered at the pineal gland. The second halo can you guess where the center is located? Depending on the application some figures will not reveal a halo, just wings. Some figures will reveal a flame about their person. Some figures will have a halo and a cross. Further reading An interesting paper on how the flame is depicted. Lighting the icons Shiva Iconography Images of the flame on the Shiva Dance Statue This artwork tells a lot about us. The four animals along the edges represented different worlds of ourself. The Azure Dragon is our mental body. When we talk of "I" This is the region of our creativity. Our intellect is symbolized by the dragon. This animal spirit is associated with the thalmus. The Red Bird is our astral body. This is where our logical reasoning originates. Our physical nature is symbolized by the Bird. This animal spirit is associated with the pons. The White tiger is our physical body. Our emotions are symbolized by the Tiger. This animal spirit is associated with the midbrain. The Black Turtle is our etheric (vital) body. Our spiritual nature is symbolized by the Turtle. This animal spirit is associated with the medulla oblongata. What then of Dog with Flames? What does this figure in the center represent? Tales have a component of truth to them. Like all knowledge we look for the physical manifestation. Take for instance the popularity with the tale of the fire dog. Now the breed of the animal has been found again. Little has been mentioned as to the meaning of the story. There is Gnosis and Alchemy present. From the text entitled: Hangugui Seolwo we learn that Heaven is composed of several realms. Just as in the tree of life there are 12 realms alone. Not to mention what lies beyond the tree. You may see many connections with this story and other traditions. One of the realms in Heaven is a kingdom in darkness. It goes by the name dark world or Gamangnara. This is our world. We are poor in spirit. The ruler seeks light and asked the dogs for help. This is our lower mind. The hero of the story the fire dog is our will. That is why the character is represented in the center of the spiritual animals in the first picture. Each animal represents an aspect of our mind. The fire dog ran after the sun. The dog was able to grab the sun, but the heat was too much so the dog had to release the sun. This was not successful. The king then suggested going after the moon. It may not be too hot, but still will provide light. The dog then then pursued the moon. At first the dog was able to get a hold of the moon with her mouth. Over time this proved to be a difficult operation. The moon was too cold to be carried and the dog suffered frostbite. Not only does this story relate to the concept that light refers to spiritual awakening. It also relates the solar and lunar forces which sustain living things.
