The soul world is different from you and I. Our thoughts that arrive to us pass through this place. We are part of this as indeed it is a part of us. Yet we feel ignorant. We cannot sense or imagine what this place is like. We awaken to find ourselves in a strange land. We are strangers here. The world of the soul is the home we find foreign. Are we homeless? The method to change from the physical realm to the astral realm seems a haunting. It is all done on the stage with mirrors. smoke and many mirrors. Once again the Arts have a solution. In the play called Macbeth a seemingly unrelated stage contains esoteric knowledge. Never before discussed. Three figure dance around a fire Each figure represents a vertex on a triangle. The play called Macbeth is really about the components that contribute to our being. On the tree of life there are three triangles. One at the kidneys, one at the heart, and one at the head. The middle triangle is near the upper chest of our fictitious person. This triangle is of concern to us here. We can offer introductory labels for these triangles. They of course will change as the student grows in stature. As your needs grow so will the labels. The triangles represent worlds themselves. These worlds can be accessed. Consider the middle triangle. The three vertices have to do with the way we think, and how we think. The reason three figures dance around a fire is that they are are influenced by the light from the fire. They are attracted to the light for the poetic metaphor of this light is what powers the tree of life. This energy is called the treasury of light and can be considered as the star upon the tree. Upon the crown this light source is usually drawn. The hebrew words are Ain Sof Aor. This is the infinite light. This is the (אור אין סוף) endless light. After all a tree needs a light source, just as a tree needs earth. The earth provides the nutrients. The figures that sing, dance, and act around this fire are the knowing principles within us. The vedic terms for them are Atma (आत्मा) the inner soul, Buddhi (बुद्धि) to understand and comprehend, and Manas (मनस्) the mind. These entities in English are called spirit, soul, and mind. In the play it is not discussed by critics that we are watching the various worlds, depicted by thespians, of one individual. That is Macbeth. The spirit, soul, and mind dancing, and chanting around a fire are the Spirit of Macbeth, the Soul of Macbeth, and the Mind of Macbeth. Does this seem out of place? How often have your asked yourself what to do, when you approach a decision point of your life? This is depicted as a crossroad. The presence of a Moon and midst are irrelevant. Methods in ritual to bring the senses to the astral world are indeed different. The metaphors employed cannot be understood by inductive reasoning. After all if pyramid structures appear throughout many cultures the reason for this may be something never considered. They may represent the birth process. Something common to many lands. A Going back or a return to the elemental horizon is a theme that runs through rituals that are intended to reach the astral domain. An important point to consider is nothing can be understood unless the vessel of knowledge is first constructed. The witness of a ritual will have no effect upon the hour you are in unless your vessel is prepared and ready to receive the Holy nectar. Much study is necessary. The image above is the depiction of ourself. Each animal, tree all are metaphor to describe the wolds that animate the mind and physical body. Scholars examine the mosaic and claim it is a nature scene. The Greek Mysteries refer to our being and what makes us distinct. The symbols employed are not understood in the physical world. The reason for pairing a cat with a moon have little to do with the ability to see in the dark. The moon and sun have terminology and sway along the nervous system. If you are going to enter the astral world you must learn how to pass from one side of the nerve tissue. The side acted upon by a force, and the side wishing for a desire to happen. The key to this doorway is music. Place your bicep close to your ear. Relax and contract in a quiet place and you will hear musical tones. This use of music is why in the Macbeth play the figures use words that simulate musical instruments. It is music that can transport from outside the body to the astral. A way of theater to make entry into the astral world possible without music is through words. Words are used in Jean Cocteau's script for Orphée. You will see an invocation is used in the form of a radio broadcast. It is very similar to a sabbath ritual. "Goes faster......Three times. I repeat" The necessity to follow with the intention of repeat is to establish a rhythm without melody. The voice is alone. "Your attention please." Here is the signal sent in a temple to expect a change in the ritual. " A single glass of water lights up the world." In Robert Heinlein's character, by the name of Michael, he selects water as the sacrament. To share water is a Holy bond. The body and soul are connected through a common element, this is called water. Do you really expect a world so clean viewed from imagination? It is said operations in the astral must be put in the reverse. The concept of birth is described as consumption. This is the mind's depiction of a world unseen with physical devices. Despite the work involved in understanding Macbeth. The play has largely not been deciphered. Several items are mentioned to be placed into a large container. The meaning of these items are not known. An important fact is that none of the ingredients have a physical significance. All of them refers to mind. The ingredients of Fenny Snake (Chickweed), and Eye of Newt (Mustard Seed) actually refers to the Heavens of Moon and Mars. It is in these heavens that are assigned the mental activities of Grammar and Music respectively. These names refer to mental states and not subjects of astronomy. The toe of frog (buttercup) is the Heaven of Mercury. This is the mental power of logic and dialectics. By relating the zodiac information we can assign which parts of the physical body the ingredients relate. A deep knowledge of astrology is necessary. What symbol do we select to represent the Soul in art? The use of music is necessary in both lands. Hence Orpheus holds a harp. This same harp is in your body. When you observe an actress on stage what is the first characteristics you pick up on? What conclusions do you make? When gazing at Maya do you understand what you are perceiving? Weißt du, wie eine Hexe aussieht? Any information on the original Greek sculptures would be greatly appreciated. The understanding of the natural forces represented by Hecate requires mediations on the Greek Mysteries. In the Theogony by Hesoid is a piece on the goddess. Only by reading the original texts will you be able to understand the functions of the higher worlds. The Hymn to Hecate Section number 410 The Starry Heaven is a reference to the nerve fibers in the cerebrum. And she conceived and bare Hecate whom Zeus the son of Cronos honoured above all. He gave her splendid gifts, to have a share of the earth and the unfruitful sea. She received honour also in starry heaven, and is honoured exceedingly by the deathless gods. For to this day, whenever any one of men on earth offers rich sacrifices and prays for favour according to custom, he calls upon Hecate. Great honour comes full easily to him whose prayers the goddess receives favourably, and she bestows wealth upon him; for the power surely is with her. For as many as were born of Earth and Ocean amongst all these she has her due portion. The son of Cronos did her no wrong nor took anything away of all that was her portion among the former Titan gods: but she holds, as the division was at the first from the beginning, privilege both in earth, and in heaven, and in sea. Also, because she is an only child, the goddess receives not less honour, but much more still, for Zeus honours her. Whom she will she greatly aids and advances: she sits by worshipful kings in judgement, and in the assembly whom she will is distinguished among the people. And when men arm themselves for the battle that destroys men, then the goddess is at hand to give victory and grant glory readily to whom she will. Good is she also when men contend at the games, for there too the goddess is with them and profits them: and he who by might and strength gets the victory wins the rich prize easily with joy, and brings glory to his parents. And she is good to stand by horsemen, whom she will: and to those whose business is in the grey discomfortable sea, and who pray to Hecate and the loud-crashing Earth-Shaker, easily the glorious goddess gives great catch, and easily she takes it away as soon as seen, if so she will. She is good in the byre with Hermes to increase the stock. The droves of kine and wide herds of goats and flocks of fleecy sheep, if she will, she increases from a few, or makes many to be less. So, then. albeit her mother's only child, she is honoured amongst all the deathless gods. And the son of Cronos made her a nurse of the young who after that day saw with their eyes the light of all-seeing Dawn. So from the beginning she is a nurse of the young, and these are her honours. Hearsay and popular misunderstanding will not convey knowledge. The number 6 is associated with Hecate. The domain of this goddess is where the interface between the spinal chord and brain stem meet. Verstehst du okkulte Wissenschaft? The word Wissen spells out knowledge. The use of plays were constructed to pass information of arcana wisdom. The knowledge has yet to be understood. None-the-less we can understand some information such as the use of costume and titles of characters. The English word witch correctly comes from the German word Wissen. Other derivations are not factual. To state otherwise is a misdirection on the stage. There is a tight relationship between Hecate and your optic chasm. Hermes requires Hecate in order to access this vital spot. Here is where the optic pathways cross just under the bridge of your nose. Orpheus needs Hecate's help to gain entry to this part of the nervous system. The healers work with this organ. It is the first step in correcting disorder in the cosmos. By the use of playing music the correction is possible. Hecate represents a unique series of forces that are both necessary in the early stages of fetal development, birth, and adulthood. This is why Zeus looks favorably upon her. Certain forces of development cannot serve the needs of the organism and are required to be turned off. This is what is meant by the imprisonment of the Titians in Tartarus. The place of Tartarus is the physical body. At certain stages growth is necessary. Consider the cells involved in bone, liver, hair, fingernails, and mouth require growth of new cells. This involves the titanic powers. Regulation of the body demands the Olympian powers. The Orphic Hymn to Hecate reveals some interesting functions of the goddess. I call Hecate of the crossroads, The Lovely God where three roads meet. In sky, on earth and in the ocean, yellow gown upon her form. At tombs she celebrates the Bacchic rites with souls. Daughter of the Titan Persēs, fond of solitude and deer. By night, protectress of the dogs, she is a most enchanting queen. Barking dogs announce her passing. She’s unbound and fair of face. On her head the bull-horn headdress, lady, priestess of the world. Ruler, damsel and our nurse maid, wandering the mountain sides. With her worshippers she’s present, maiden at the holy rites. The reference to the tombs of the souls has eluded many translators. The author Pascale B. Randolph can help assuage their troubles. Since the goddess is involved in the life of the body we must consider the various parts of the body. The red blood cells are a living entity. They share a life cycle of birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age, and the transition. The physical body is the home of reembodied spirits. This land of Souls is where forces are constantly carrying forward the results which not only affect, but organize and sustain the character and destiny of future worlds. When we breath we actually are producing the beings of the next evolution. Therefore be mindful of your thoughts. Vast chemical processes maintain the body which cannot be detected by instruments and are beyond the intellect. Yet the mystery of the body can be understood by your higher mind. The key is to unite your minds rather than work with the lower mind alone. The signals of the nerves also contain souls. These are the words mentioned in the tombs. Inside the head there exists 5 atrophied centers these are those very tombs. The Bacchic rites are used to awaken these centers. There is information in this hymn that is of a high level. Just as the yogic methods the Greek Mysteries had special exercises to awaken the slumbering portions of us. How should we gaze into the astral mirror? if we strongly desire to gaze affectionately into our own soul, what should we invoke? What would the soul do gaze back at us or look away? Does the misaligned view we have of Hecate reflect how we view our own body? The anger and deep sorrow can also been seen in hitting ourselves. Mutilating the body in some cases. Regarding ourself as evil, unworthy, or having a moment of intense sadness. Neglecting the very spirit within us. The endless cycle of abuse The continued use of medicines. The addictions that plague our friends and family. Yet it is through learning about these very deities that the way out can be achieved. Especially for all the entry points into the nervous system and higher worlds is achieved through the goddess Hecate. The organs and forces represented by the image. The reason Hecate is represented as a trinity is her threefoldness. The Sky, Sea, and Land tells us this is where soul connects to the physical body. In Greek Mysticism the inner meaning for the three refers to the entry to three portion of the mind. The Sky is associated with the spiritual world. The Sea is the phantasmal world. The land is where the physical laws exist and reasoning can be employed. Knowledge of the higher worlds required divinity. Inference resulted in guess work. Activities on Land were not enough for Sky and Sea. The Devine power is within us and there is no need to be ashamed. The statue of Papa Legba, on the left, shows the straddling of two worlds of existence. The etheric and the physical. The crutches to a first approximation show why we have to learn how to function at birth into a new world. The actor in the middle plays the part of the drunken entity. When we enter the stage we forget our spiritually. This ritual was represented by a festival. Notice the actress on the left. This represents the soul. The actor on the right wearing the hat represents the spirit. The number six is associated with Hecate. This number has a meaning. The more you work with this number you will understand how the body and nervous system are related to Hecate. The word Hex actually means six. In other languages this word was imported to represent the deity. What has never been discussed is the relationship of Hecate to the body. The Holy city of Jerusalem is the cube. There are six sides to this structure. The relationship to the astral world is very close for this city is among the stars
