I wanted to create this blog to go into a concept that I partly cover in the Alchemy process of Fermentation. However, it also goes very well with the Sephiroth of Tiphareth...and even the concept of Shadow Work. The Square represents male activity. Usually, our plots of cultivated farmland are formed in squares. This is no coincidence, as Laird Scranton has shown that there was a civilization process given to mankind in Ancient Times after the Flood...and they taught how to create fields in squares. The Square also represents the Cube of Space/Time/Saturn. I've shared how this process was the result of the Fall from Grace experienced by Adam Kadmon as described in the Kabbalah creating chaos in the cosmos...and us. Creating these squares of cultivated farmland is also a metaphor for how to cultivate our mind. Our minds start off in a chaotic state and it's up to us to get it into order. No power outside of us will do this for us...we do have a lot of help but just like a garden at home...we need to cultivate our minds in order to produce a fruitful mind. I was originally going to use the Garden as the metaphor for the final Alchemy YouTube video...but I used a different one when I decided to share this blog for the Sephiroth of Tiphareth. There is the hint that the Garden of Eden represents our Consciousness on our Personal (microcosmic) level. Remember the Jewish tradition is that the Torah- the first five books of the bible- are also allegorical and filled with universal Archetypes. Ever aspect of it can be interpreted 70 ways. Just as the snake represented desire that turned into fear that was struck low as the result of defying the Creator... The Creator told Adam that because he chose to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge... "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return." Genesis 3:17 - 3:19 We can consider our personal Garden of Consciousness as the Cube of Tiphareth. That's our little plot of land we've separated from the One Creator. All of us need to work our little plot so that we can help restore the Order of Creation one field at a time. Poor Soil We start off with Poor Soil when we begin the Path of the Seeker. This soil is rocky sand and the only things that can grow in this soil are stunted weeds. We need to start working with our consciousness so that we can produce the results that we want...not material desires that can be bought with silver or gold but spiritual results. This is represented so well by the description of the mind as starting off with Lead. Burning The Weeds We have to start off by burning the weeds in our garden. These weeds came up as a result of the programming/conditioning. They're not growing intentionally and not usually what we want. Usually, when left wild like this, there are too many to just pull out. This can happen by choice or by a lightning strike. In Yosemite National Park they used to put out the fires that were caused by lightning strikes. They thought that fire endangered the ancient trees. What they discovered was that the redwoods were not propagating. Only scrub trees were thriving in that environment. That's because in order for the pine cones of the redwoods to open...they had to be burned. Without the fire there were no new Redwoods. The redwoods had adapted to their environment and were dependent on the lightning storms to reproduce. By suppressing the fires the Forest Service was doing more harm then good. This is the same thing that happens to us. When we fight the fires of transformation our garden becomes overgrown with weeds. We have the choice to do the personal work to pull or clear them out ourselves...but if we remain attached to Physical Material Reality there will be a lightning bolt that throws us into a Dark Night of the Soul...provoking us to walk the Path of the Seeker. When the farmers burn their fields they make them more fertile. They do this in the Fall for a reason. This is depicted in both the Calcination Stage of Alchemy. Winter Watering The next stage of constructing our own personal Garden of Consciousness is to let the rain fall. This cleansing period is necessary and helps remove any traces of the weeds that remains in the ashes while transforming what does remain into more fertile soil. This emotional cleansing is necessary to let go of all of those conditioned beliefs that didn't serve us. This is the Dissolution Stage of Alchemy. Removing The Rocks As spring approaches we need to get the ground ready for receiving the seeds of what we do want in our life. This requires that we help the soil become ready for receiving. At this point the weeds that grew up in our lives, the programming/conditioning we know we don't want are gone but the more stubborn thoughts and habits that we have remain. Unlike the more perishable weeds the rocks are a little bit more stubborn and take a lot more to remove. That's why we have to get out the sifter. Depending on the terrain of our mind- desert, valley, river bed, mountain or any number of other terrains....this process can take a lot of time. Sometimes small rocks can appear like sand but they are not good soil so we have to practice discernment when identifying the bellies that do not serve us. This the Separation stage of Alchemy. Step 1: Preparing The Soil Now that only soil remains in our garden it's time to get the process of changing the soil. Currently, the soil is sandy and unproductive. There is a reason that vegetation doesn't grow along the water line of the ocean. How do we change the soil of our mind into something productive? We need a little bit of fertilizer to get the process started. Here we come to the composting stage I described in the Alchemy videos. We start a pile of left over vegetable scraps- banana peels, tomato cores, the cores of apples, Strawberry stems and orange peels. We add in some grass clippings and a little bit of dung...horse manure was one of my aunts favorite. I prefer left over coffee and espresso grounds from Starbucks (it's free!). All of these left overs are essentially free but we need to put them into our garden. These fruits of our labor that we have already enjoyed will help prepare for the next season. Then we cover the pile with cardboard to help keep in the moisture if it's not in a bin. If it's in a breathable bin we put the top down. This is conjunction...we are recombining the elements we do want (fruit and vegetables...because we ant a bountiful life) with the dirt to produce better soil. The Dung in life is valuable indeed! Step 2: Letting The Compost Do It's Job As the birds prepare their nests and life starts to unthaw from winter our job is very simple. We let things sit as they are so that Mother Nature can do her job. She's busy with bugs and other processes that turn the waste and dung into fertile soil. At this point we don't do anything ourselves...it's a natural process. We may be tempted to take a little look to see what's going on. We'll see a mess and depending on where it is in the process the compost may smell. What we can't see is the productive activity set into place by the joining of all of these elements. Chemicals are being produced and worms help to digest the material and produce their own dung. We just really need to stay out of the process and let the natural process of transformation work. Eventually the soil will turn into the velvety beautiful black soil in which plants can grow like the soil in the picture above. This is the Fermentation stage of Alchemy. Watching Our Garden Grow Those first few sprouts are so exciting! I can remember when this butterfly shaped cantaloupe blossom first came up...all those little baby new plants were just adorable. There was so much potential...so many reasons to be excited...how big would they grow? How much fruit would they produce? Every day was filled with wonder as I walked outside to check on those first few sprouts. Yet, we must be mindful in our Garden. We will need to cultivate these seeds as they sprout. Sometimes bugs or birds will come along and try to eat them. We need to find a non-harmful way to deter these hanger on's in our lives that only want to be there during the good times and take for themselves. We might over water one area by focusing on it too much while neglecting another. We need to keep an eye out for rot on the leaves or brown spots. With a little bit of love and action our Garden Consciousness will grow exponentially. We will have friends and family we can count on that we can call for help. We will have the resources to enjoy the fruit of our labors when we want and how we want. The best part is when we can turn to serve those fruits and vegetables to our loved ones. Gracing them with the benefits of our labor is the greatest gift that we can give. They can then learn to cultivate their own gardens so they can serve what they choose to produce to us and their other loved ones. I may choose to provide tomatoes to the table and my husband might choose blueberries...each is different but just as delightful. This is how we can create a bountiful life for everyone. This is the Coagulation Stage of Alchemy. Conclusion
Yes, that's mean holding a giant squash from my very first attempt at creating a home garden! The squash that I produced were huge! Well, I hope you enjoyed this metaphor for how to cultivate the Garden of Your Consciousnesses. This 7 stage process is not always easy...just as gardening is not always easy. You can't sit on the couch watching television and expect a garden to create itself. This isn't the automatic state of our Garden. We have to go through the process of cultivating our garden and ensuring that it grows what we want it to produce. This perfectly possible but it takes dedication,working with nature (or the Creator if you prefer to put it that way) and love.

I can say, after having cultivated my own consciousness that I have reaped the fruits of my labor. I am proof positive of this process working. I went from being very chaotic mentally and very negative (those two states of mind go together).

I cannot fail to mention the Cube of Space when it comes to the Sephiroth of Tiphareth. Tiphareth lies at the heart of that cube on the Kabbalah Tree of Life.
I've highlighted it here on the this diagram above. The Cube, to be very clear and frank with you right up front...represents your consciousness. Paul Foster Case places The World Card, representing Liberation, right at the center of that cube...in the same place that Tiphareth occupies in the cube on the Kabbalah Tree of Life. That is how powerful and important this Sephiroth is to our personal transformation. A Side Note However, I have not investigated this subject in depth. There is a book called New Dimensions of the Cube of Space that you can buy for Amazon Kindle at a reasonable price (considering that the price of the physical book is over $50). I will, eventually, read and review this New Dimensions but I currently have seven other books in the cue to read prior to this one (as it's not one of our systems of sevens) and so it will probably be sometime in the middle or end of next year that I discuss this topic again. I am only sharing this now because this concept is directly related to the Sephiroth of Tiphareth and an upcoming blog on the Sword in the Stone....the Stone of course in that old tale of King Arthur is the Cube of Space/Time. All of that said, I will address what I do know. I will also place two excellent YouTube videos on the Cube of Space at the bottom of this post. The first is 20 minutes long. The second, I will warn you, is a bit long (45 minutes) and she rambles a bit but it's the first in a series that goes further in depth. (The Above Image Is From A Website Blocked By My Computer...it was pulled from a Google Image Search) What The Cube Is Not The main reason for this post is that I want to share that the cube is not what the Fear Based teachers out there are claiming. They will call this the Cube of Saturn. If you look up that term in YouTube you will find far more people talking about this concept from that point of view. I've included a picture above. These people really think that there are people out there worshiping the Cube of Saturn and that somehow those people are creating the phenomenon that they have identified with the cube. Of course, since it's mostly Christians promoting this idea they point to the scary Muslims and the Kaaba that just isn't right. First, the 'cube' of the Kabaa was not always a cube...it started off as a rectangular stone building. The Black covering has not always been there...the Kaaba has been green, white and gold. To say that Muslims are worshiping a black cube is just plain erroneous...it would be similar to saying that The Jewish and the Christians worship the Wailing Wall or the Arc of the Covenant....and then creating a conspiracy around that idea. (https://muslimmatters.org/2012/11/15/ten-things-you-didnt-know-about-the-kaaba/) Then of course, because they also, as you can see from the image above this section, connect it with the Hebrew practice of the Tefila...the prayer box on the head which I explained in detail when covering the Hebrew Letter Reish. The prayer boxes are far from Satanic as they actually act by stimulating parts of the body associated with the Pineal/Pituatary glands, the heart and the liver...they are actually very powerful tools to waken the consciousness. So, there are two myths about other cultures that the Christian Conspiracy Theorists like to demonize because they are projecting their fear onto the two religions that are the most intimately related to them. I cannot express to you how sad that really makes me. The thing is that Saturn has been labeled the Devil and people are saying that it's the controller of the Universe and some awful slave driver or something. This just shows a spiritual immaturity that's encouraged by the Christian Church where people take everything literally and blame all of the issues in the world on outer forces instead of taking responsibility. They are terrified of their own natures and so they are projecting that fear on Saturn. I've noticed the same thing crop up in movies...people are afraid of the mortality of their human body....because they think that's all they are and so 'Time becomes an enemy.' There are quite a few movies out there that promote this concept- most of which fail miserably because I think people deep within their heart know that this is not true. Time Is NOT an Enemy We are not our bodies. We are eternal beings...it is only the personality construct of our current incarnation (our avatar) that has an expiration date. You will be liberated from the fear of time when you come to the realization, deep in your soul, that we are not our bodies...because as long as we think that we are our bodies we will confuse ourselves with the Ego...the personality construct that is but the mask we temporarily wear. In fact, if you look into Laird Scranton's books (I believe that it is In Search of the Primordial...please forgive me for not sharing the direct quote as I am on a very tight time schedule with this particular blog and I will be looking further into this topic sometime next year)...you will find that he identifies that Time is a Side Effect. Further, Thomas Campbell also makes a very well written argument for why time is a Side Effect that was a result- not the intention- of the creation of Physical Material Reality. Now, with the concept of Time...associated with Saturn...let's move on to where the concept of the Cube of Space/Time came from.... Origin Of The Cube Of Space So if some evil Saturn/Satan worshipers didn't come up with the Cube of Saturn to torture unsuspecting humanity where did the idea come from? Well, Paul Foster Case who died in 1954 is the one who originally coined the term "Cube of Space." Someone, somewhere along the line, realized that Saturn was the key component of this cube of space and tied Saturn to the Christian concept of Satan creating an entire Fear Based Conspiracy Theory. Of course, more then likely Paul Foster Case learned of this Cube of Space from the same teacher that taught him, Waite (the creator of the most famous/popular Tarot set) and the infamous Aleister Crowley. The Myth of King Arthur, written by Geoffery of Monmouth (a Christian cleric who lived from 1095 - 1155) has very clear references to both the Alchemical Cube of Space (depicted as an anvil in some versions) and the Sword of Discernment... both of which are closely associated with Tiphareth... I will cover and explain the symbolism in the Sword in the Stone Story in an upcoming blog on the December Third. This connection suggests that the Cube of Space was a concept that existed long before Paul Foster Case. He just coined the exact term that was then morphed into the Cube of Saturn by fear based Christians. The Cube In The 7 Tarot Card Keys Of The Path Of The Seeker We see the evolution of this 'stone' or cube that represents our consciousness in the Path of the Seeker. As we evolve this Cube of Space is transformed. The cube was in the very first card of the path of the Seeker... In the Devil Card key we can see the Cube of Space depicted. The Devil sits on the half formed cube. That's because as long as we are in bondage to the material world (the Devil, called the Adversary in the Bible is no more then our Ego) we have a 'half baked' concept of reality. Then in the Judgement card the Subconscious, Waking Conscious...and the new consciousness rise from the cube coffins symbolizing the first step in triumphing over the Cube of Space. Then, when we reach the video on the 7th card of the Seeker- The World- we find out that this card is at the center of that Cube... The World Card is in the same location of Tiphareth within the cube upon the Kabbalah Tree of Life...but there is no cube in this card because the person has liberated themselves from that Cube. The Cube and Alchemy The Cube is almost always depicted as a stone...which suggests that it is connected with Alchemy. As I have established in my YouTube series on the 7 stages of Alchemy we start off with a leaden mind....and transform it into gold. The Cube of Space/Time is that leaden stone...it exists on both the Microcosmic (personal) level and the Macrocosmic level (cosmic). So, when we see the Cube of Space/Time in the Builders of the Adytum Tarot the Cube, on a personal level, represents our Consciousness. Saturn is associated with the element of Salt...which represents Earthiness. There are a lot of implications of what the Cube of Space/Time represents just in that one fact but I won't go into here. Conclusion This subject deserves a lot more attention then this blog. My primary purpose is to explain what the Cube really represents. There are entire groups and schools of thinking that are fear based and completely misleading people about this concept (Gnosticism, in particular, which came about during 301-100 AD). These groups do far more harm to humanity then good. I promise this topic will be covered in more detail but I want you to walk away with to important concepts. The World Tarot Card Key is closely associated with the Sephiroth Tiphareth. The Cube of Space/Time/Saturn is a universal archetype depicting your consciousness....nothing more andt less. There is no great Conspiracy that keeps you trapped in PMR...the only thing that keeps you Samsara is your thinking...and all of the paths of 7 we are covering give you a road map of how to exit that 'mind trap' or 'paradoxical thinking.' Thank you for joining me in exploring this avenue on the Path of the Seeker brave soul. I hope that I have given you a lot to think about and a lot to investigate on your own. Please don't fall into fear based conspiracy mental brain traps....the only entity ever capable of holding you back from your full potential and grasping your true spiritual eternal nature....is you. The Video's Below I wanted to share a little bit more on this subject and I did find two videos that do an adequate job of conveying these concepts. The teachers who created these videos tend to ramble a bit...so, they can be a bit boring. Just remember patience is a virtue and if you persist there are little gems within both videos. The first one is long...and the second is a little convoluted but until I can cover this topic in more depth these will suffice.
Here we come to the fifth card on the path of the Seeker.
What can I say about this beautiful card? Well, I covered most of it in the video....but here is a little recap. Service To All The most awesome part of this card is that the waking conscious mind and subconscious are working in union with each other in service of the One Creator. That's the real switch in consciousness that took me by surprise on the Path of the Seeker. Now, there are a lot of people in society who claim that they serve the collective. They say that they are trying to help others but instead they support one group and tear the other group down. That is not serving the entire human collective...that's favoritism. The first thing most people think about when you say, "Service to all," is charity and giving people money or volunteering of some sort. Yet, there are a lot more ways that a person can give to the collective...and not everyone has the money or the ability to give money or the ability to volunteer. So, limiting to these much lauded socially acceptable means of service holds people back from feeling that they can Serve the Collective. Every time we perform our job we are serving the collective. There are a lot of integral jobs that are not very well respected but if people didn't perform them society would not function as smoothly as it does in the United States. Instead, think of it as a choice that every time you wake up in the morning, every time you interact with people and every time you interact with a mineral, plant or animal...you *choose* to be of service to them as best as possible. Choosing to be kind in these situations and being grateful for those interactions...even if someone cuts you off while your driving to work...makes the difference. You have the choice...instead of cursing the person who cut you off you can bless them and say a prayer in hopes they will wake up to their dangerous driving before they get into an accident. Collective Consciousness I've talked about the Collective Consciousness a lot. This Oversoul...made up of the combined web of all beings on this planet is a pretty important concept. Some call this the logos...which surprised me a bit when it popped up in a vision of mine. In the tradition of the Kabbalah our Oversoul is Malkuth...which is a part of Adam Kadmon that you can see personified as the Sun. As more and more people Awaken, bringing their subconscious into their conscious reality and elimination their Shadows...that Oversoul becomes more aware. That's the importance of this key...as we work to improve ourselves we actually do Serve All...just by waking up spiritually. The 5th World Since the Christians interpreted Revelations as literally destroying this world and being taken to another a lot of people think of the start of the 5th world as a doomsday scenario. That, however, is not the case. The 5th world or 5th dimension is simply a state of mind. We still interact with the people who are not on the level that we are on. Bashar says eventually they will just seem to disappear...we or they will move and we will lose touch with them. Either way it won't be dramatic. Some people may not even notice a change from one state to the next...they will go with the flow of the Collective Conscious. Anyone looking for an Earth Shattering undeniable Event is going to be disappointed. Shifts in humanity just don't work that way because it would cause too much psychological damage and more harm then good. The entire goal is for as many people as possible to shift...not some tiny elite sliver of the population. To do that it does have to seem almost imperceptible. Conclusion This is such a beautiful card. This card represents so much potential. I love potential, that's one of the reasons I have empty photo frames hung in parts of my house...it's just fun to imagine what I imagine will one day fill them. Sometimes, the potential can be more fun then what actually does happen.
As you listen to the sound meditation concentrate on the Tarot Card Key.
When the sound meditation ends get out your journal and write down any thoughts, impressions or ideas that came into your mind no matter how odd. On Monday October 22nd 2018 my cat Monster died. Above is the last picture that I took of him.
He was exactly 7 years old. I was horrified and taken completely by surprise because most cats have a 20 year life span. I expected our other cat, Harley, who is much older then Monster and belonged to my husband before I met him, to be the first cat to pass away. Born October 2011, we picked Monster up from the home of an Human Resource Manager from Hertz, where I worked at the time, named Ashley (she didn't stay with the company very long) who saved them. Monster's mother was a stray that lived at Ontario airport. Ashely saved the mother cat and sent out an email asking if anyone wanted the kittens. The picture of those adorable kittens captivated me and I answered the email. Monster weighed less then a pound when we picked him up and was less then a month old. He gained his name because he was very passionate and we wanted it to be Halloween inspired since he was born in October. My husband was pickingi him up saying, "Come here you little Monster," as he literally climbed the security gate that sectioned off the bathroom from the rest of our apartment...he wanted to be with us so much. He was a friendly, loving and cuddly kitty from the start. That's how he earned his name. He grew into a twenty pound cat and was best friends with my dog Angel who passed away the same month as her birth- June. They were about the same size which I found very amusing. They would both greet us at the door in excitement. I kind of think Monster, to some degree, didn't realize he was a cat. I lost my two favorite pets of all time this year. Now, I didn't mean for this to be a memorial post (I plan to make a video for him once the emotion over his loss is not so raw) or for it to be depressing Instead, this post is about what loss means and redefining it. Letting Go My posts are a bit sporadic because I've scheduled many of them to April of 2019. I have many more that need to be written because my personal revelations continue at a rapid pace. My cup of inspiration iso overflowing as I progess closer to the essence of my Soul and purpose. I considered posting this blog in April but I think it's better to post it when fresh- especially for the friends and family that knew Monster. He, like Angel, made a tremendous impression on anyone. He was many people's favorite cat. Yet, you should know that my life has changed a lot this year. I have 'lost' many things. Yet, even though that is the most adequate word that comes to mind it doesn't properly capture the experience...because while someone from the outside might assume all of this 'loss' should be depressing it has been the most uplifiting experience as I start walking my talk. I am starting to apply the lessons I have learned that prepared me for this time in my life. All of this 'loss' started in June. First, it was the frienship with the woman that was my best friend for the past 3 years and was essential to the healing process that I went through after losing my eldest daughter, Lilith-Ann, in 2014. I'm eternally grateful to her for the service she provided me by being my friend. Letting go of that frienship was hard but probably benefitted both of our marriages. Second, it was my dog Angel. She lived for 12 years and her transition into Spirit was very hard for me. She suffered more then I would have liked. She felt like a part of me and she was as much my daughter as Lilith-Ann or Michelle. I gave that dog the best possible life that I could. She always brought a smile to my face. Third, it was my truck whih was such a huge part of my identity. When I put my life back together after being divorced in 2005 that truck was the first thing I ever bought 100% for myself. I didn't take into consideration anyone elses needs or wants when I bought that truck. That was 100% mine and not many chicks drive trucks so it was something I identified myself with and made me a bit unique. The truck was also in awesome shape. So, selling it was very tough. Fourth, I gave up my financial indepdenence. I closed my personal bank account and quit my part time job. That was a tough one because both of those were something I had done entirely for myself. Again, they were something that I felt defined me. I really value my independence. Fifth, is Monster. Again, like Angel, he was like a son to me. I loved that cat like a individual being with his own identity and personality that exceeds some of the one dimensional human beings I know. He brougth a lot of joy and love into my life. He was spoiled and kept me company when I was sleeping during those long months of bed rest when I was lonely. Transformation I didn't understand what I was going through at that time...and it is a reflection of the world in which we live. We live in a world of transition or transformation. I only realized this lately when I was going through the themes running through the movies I've seen this year. Movies, as I've explained, that we choose are a reflection of ourselves and also represent themes that the Collective Unconscious are exploring (If you prefer you can call it the Oversoul of Humanity. Think of all human beings souls- not their physical bodies- as cells within a bigger organisim forming the body of that being. The easiest name to call that being is the Oversoul but in Hebrew tradition this would be Adam or Eve- as there is more then one Oversoul incarnating. When one person in that Oversoul changes it alters the entire composition of the Oversoul and triggers a similar change in the other 'cells'). Sometimes, before you can become something new you have to give things up. The Catepillar when it enters the cocoon thinks that it's building it's own casket. When it's going through the transformation within that cocoon it 'loses' the attributes that made it a catepillar. Little does it know after the process of transformation it's going to gain the ultimate freedom and a beautiful set of wings! A New Frequency I realized when Monster passed that I've changed significantly. I was not as inconsolable with Monster's daeth as I would have been at the start of 2018. Oh, I cried and I'm in mourning. I loved that cuddly cat...but I realized that teachings I have been working on have finally sunk in. As a result a lot of things that I found mysterious before make sense. I have gained a greater clarity...on life and myself. One of the teachings of Bashar, which is not one of my foundation teachers but is in agreement with them and had the biggest impression me, is that a key to changing frequency is to 'let go' of all of the things that no longer share the frequency that you want. Think of frequency as trying to tune into a public radio station. Sometimes you're just out of range and it comes in spotty at first. You only catch bits and pieces of the music. But it's the most beautiful music you ever heard and your determined to 'tune in' to the station to hear that song. You have three choices. You can move closer to receive that station more clearly but it means that changes will have to be made. Maybe you have to sell your house in order to move closer to the source of that signal. You can choose to continue to do your own thing. The most logical decision may be to move closer to a city with a job that society says will bring you the success that you want and a radio station you don't care for too much. The third choice is to stay where you are because it's good enough and you don't want to change. That, in a nut shell, is what changing spiritual frequency is like. I choose to go closer to the Source. That's my life purpose. I've been contemplating the nature of God since I was a little girl playing with Barbies. Self-Actualization I never imagined the result of moving closer was to become more of my authentic self which is in alignment with my greatst dreams. In todays society that dream is not valued- to be an author of inspiring spiritual literature and house wife dedicated to raising happy, healthy and capable children. I am in transition...though...because I haven't reached the full cycle in which all of those events occur. I am at the start of this 7 year cycle. So, the seeds have been planted and the biggest one...my daughter Michelle, has alredy grown but she was neccesary to give me the motivation to let go of what did not serve me for the other ones to grow. That being said, I'm in middle of writing my first book which I hope to have published on Amazon by November. I am thrilled that being published has changed so much since 2007 when my short story, The Hutnress, was published. I am so grateful to Amazon and YouTube for transforming media in all it's forms. The internet is the greatest and most empowering tool humanity has ever invented. This took the power that was held by a few to choose what type of content the masses experienced and gave it to society. Now peopel can execute their Free Will more freely then ever before! The intellectual who holds onto a hiearchial point of view might see this as a bad thing and belieiving these inovantions provide platforms for less quality people to contirbute or share their ideas creating disorder...I disagree. The movment of the power from a select view who decided what was quality to the masses is a really good thing. The transformation of the distribution of information has sped up the distribution of that information...and a wider variety of choice to people. This is fantastic because it acceleartes human growth (or self destruction if that's what the individual chooses) beings it allows people to practice their Free Will and it helps people learn discernment! The power to control information belonging to just a few people who were supposedly more capable of discernment then the majority of people was a erronious idea. Giving the freedom of choice to people is always a positive! Much as some people claim that we have too many choices, as though it's a bad thing, they are in error. Yes, it may require a higher falculty of thinking in order to make the choices that will benefit people...but it also gives them the opportunity to make mistakes and find out what they don't want which accelerates learning far faster then metering out 'approved' information. The Lesson As I said, this year is the end of a 7 year cycle for me. I have let go of a lot of things. Consequently, things that I have always desired and wanted that serves the person that I am becoming have come to me. Things I never imagined are falling onto place. I"ve realized what felt like obstacles were in truth...adjustments...to help me focus on what should be a priority. Take for example, the fact that the work on my kitchen (the remodel by the contractor is done but additional work my husband is doing) has been delayed. When meditating on that subject I was reading a book on the 7 Gates of Noah. I realized because of a passage in that book that cooking dinners for myself and my husband was not the priority. My Higher Self and the Creator were conspiring to give me the conditions to ensure that I would write The 7 Code. Events keep occuring that ensures that I work on writing that book beucase it will be of far greater service to the whole of Humanity then cooking dinner for my husband. There are times when cooking dinner for my husband is the greatest service I can provide to humanity. Every effor that was undertake can be that...and eany service that benefits all fo humanity furhters the One Creators plan...and therefore is a service to the One Creator (as long as it adheres to the one rule of not impeding on any other individual's Free Will). Conclusion If you are suffering from losses in your life there are many ways you can interpert the loss in a way that is not taught by society. Society wants you to punish yourself for every ending...to mourn and be distraught. As a whole Humanity has been unwilling to accept change. This has hindered growth. Mastering the art of Letting Go is difficult. Yet, it's beautiful too because for everything that I have let go...I've found that something has been added that's preferable. Beleiving that we are all eternal beings...that energy merely changes form (not just the physical energy that was the material body...but the consciousnes or soul) can greatly help. I suggest you meditate on that...let your Higherself remove from you all that no longer serves you so better things that will take you the next level of growth can be added to you. There is one fascinating aspect of Tiphareth that I found really interesting.
In Dion Fortune's book she refers to the Initiation of the Sun. In one of my OBE's I experienced something that could only be considered a sun initiation. This occurred spontaneously. I later found a very similar description in John Van Auken's book Ancient Egyptian Mysteries. I thought I'd share this synchronicity with you. Sun Initiation I was floating outside of my body to start. I was a point of light. This was an odd sensation but I found it was really easy to move around. I swooped through the atmosphere and up and out of our planet's atmosphere. As I did so I discovered that the planet was surrounded by a sort of silvery light similar to mercury. I went closer and slapped at the silvery watery like material. I could see the ripples of that slap reverberate through the entire planet. I found that odd but I found myself flying past other planets toward the sun. I felt compelled to enter the sun even though I was pretty certain it would destroy me. Still, the compulsion was there so I flew into it. The only thing I can compare it to is a warm bath after a day of shoveling snow outside. The warmth melted away all resistance, all negativity and it penetrated to the very essence of my being rejuvenating me. All negative thoughts, feelings and energy were completely burned away leaving only a shining radiant essence that when I'm awake is usually located in the area of my heart chakra. Soon after this I woke up. I wrote down the dream thinking it was very odd. John Van Auken's Description "This time, it was an initiation ceremony involving fire and water...I found myself standing shoulder deep in holy water....As I walked up the stone steps out of this scared pool, attending priests wrapped a floor-length cape around me...In front of me were two long rows of priests and gods. One row on my left and the other on my right. I glided between them. They nodded their heads in approval. I realized that it was also a nod of encouragement to continue through the next initiation. I looked up ahead of them to see what i was. To my amazement and concern, it was the sun, the real sun. At the end of this gantlet of priest and gods, I was to willingly enter Ra. But Ra was the real sun. I became very concerned that I would be burned if I entered the solar disk. I looked hard into the eyes of the priests and gods, expressing to them with my eyes my deep concern about this part of the initiation. They smiled and nodded with more enthusiasm than before...As I entered it, I felt searing heat, but instead of burning me, it cleansed me! The solar heat was burning away all my sins and weakness but not harming the rest of me. I began to draw its warmth into me, inhaling it, wanting more of it. It felt wonderful. I wanted it to burn me completely, thoroughly, until I was fully cleansed." pg ix Ancient Egyptian Mysticism by John Van Auken. Conclusion When I read that John Van Auken had had a similar vision while meditating in a pyramid in Egypt I was floored. The thing with OBE's is that they can be easily dismissed as fancy or illusion since it's so personal and subjective. I can't say that I intentionally set out to experience a Sun Initiation or how or why exactly that it happened at that time. This was not long after I had argued that I had, "Won the game of life," and that I should be allowed to move on to the next level of spiritual development in a different dream vision. In that one I was warned that I wasn't quite ready...and I wasn't. I had a lot of issues as a result of these experiences because I didn't have a context into which to put them...I had no one I could ask about what the OBE's meant or why they were happening exactly. That lead to a lot of unnecessary confusion. However, it gave me a lot of motivation to continue on the Path of the Seeker to see what the heck all of this was about...and if there were answers out there. The skeptical part of me, that had turned my back on spirituality for about five years after meeting my husband really had a hard time accepting any of this information....however, as I started working with the paths of 7, starting with the 7 chakras, I found more and more validation. Reading that John Van Auken had experienced something simliar was exteremly reassuring and validating. That was the first time I had read anything that suggested that what I had experienced was not just mere imagination without meaning...and the more that I worked with dreams, visions and mediation the more respect I gained for the Subconscious. John Van Auken doesn't explain what the initiation meant to him or why it happened. Only that it was an initiation ceremony and he saw his particular vision as evidence that he is deeply connected to Egypt. So, it really didn't give me any more insight into the meaning of the initiation. Now that I have studied Alchemy I'd say it was the process of Calcination. In that process of Alchemical fire is applied (on our personal level it's a spiritual fire) and it removes everything except the essence of the element being worked with (in our case the soul). I realize now that I had experienced the first step on the Path of the Seeker in a monumental way...that lightning flash of inspiration. As Dion Fortune explained, especially at the start of the Path of the Seeker, if we retained that connection it would fry our ability to reason. I listened to a YouTube video released by the Theosophical Society by a Rabbi and he told a story of 5 different Rabbis who went to heaven...one became a heretic, one became insane, one died...and only one came back as a Rabbi (don't ask me about the fifth I can't remember!). The point was that in order to visit heaven a Rabbi had to be prepared or it would destroy them. I was very sad after that initial ecstatic set of OBE's when they stopped. Yet, it gave me the motivation to continue on the Path of the Seeker and to develop myself. I compare the information I come across to the experiences I've had as a way of validating that information...due to the Sun Initiation I had started to develop discernment. Also, studying the Sephiroth of Tiphareth which will be the subject of the next series of blogs and an upcoming YouTube video...I realized that this was the initiation of that Sephiroth which is associated with the Sun and Yeshua. I will get to those topics in upcoming blogs. Also called Adam Ha Rashon.
This is the primordial being that could be seen as the originator of our creation. In our blog examination of the Dweller on the Threshold and we told the story of this Primordial being. However, this topic deserves a more in depth research. First, where did the Jewish Kabbalah teachers get the idea the idea of this being? Well, they studied every tiny detail of the Torah. While English is inadequate to express the Torah because very letter in Hebrew has a deeper meaning that can be meditated up (the saying is that the Torah has 70 faucets) there are some things that we can pick up on that most bible teachers gloss over. Recap In the Kabbalah tradition is the story of Adam Kadmon also called Adam Ha Rashon. Every time that the Kabbalah Tree of Life of the original Creation grew the light was passed to Adam Kadmon. In one of these periods of growth Adam Kadmon decided to share the Light of the Creation with Malkuth before the appointed time. Malkuth (Kingdom) was a part of Adam Kadmon. As a result of sharing the Light of the Creator with Malkuth (Kingdom) he broke into thousands of pieces that fell to the bottom of creation...Malkuth. Those pieces are all of the souls that make up the life that fills the cosmos. When all of Adam Kadmon's Sephiroth were broken it lead to Chaos throughout the Creation for which he was responsible. As a result, each soul holds that same pattern of chaos within their conscousness. As I explained in my post Humanity's Purpose and Humanity's Purpose Part Two....the purpose of Humanity, representing Malkuth, is to recognize that each of us are individuals and reduce the entropy (chaos) within our minds...by each of us performing this process we will heal Adam Kadmon...and help create the next stage of not only our evolution...but our part of creation. (You can read those posts here:https://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/category/1-humanitys-purpose). 2 Adams In Genesis Humanity is created twice in Genesis...not just once in the flesh.Humanity was first created in spirit. We find the creation of the soul in Genesis 1:26-27 "Then God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, an the birds of the air, and over cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth. "So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." There are a few things to note here... First, is that at this point of the bible the actual word used for God is Eloheim which is a plural word...just as in the sentences the words, "us" and "our.".. Second, that women were also created in the Spirit first and were equal to the men. Third, there is no mention of a physical body. Sadly, because most people gloss over this first passage where Adam was created as a soul...and for so long people were not allowed to read the Bible themselves because the Catholic church forbid it...the traditional belief is that the physical body is made in the image of the Creator with no regard for the soul. This is one of the reasons why we have the prevailing error in human thought that the body...which is merely a vessel for the soul...is made in the image of the Creator. When in truth it's the soul. Then we find the creation of Adam Kadmon in Geneiss 2:7: "Then the Lord God formed man from the dust of thote ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being." Yet, we don't have Eve until Genesis 2:21-2:22 "So, the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. And the Rib that the Lord God had taken from the, he made into a woman and brought her to the man." Again, there are a few things to note... First, the name of God changed indicating this is another aspect of the divine. That, perhaps, Lord God is a step down from the plural form of the original creation. Now we have the singular "he." Second, yes, we have man formed from the dust of the ground but, again, but this is all happening in Eden which was associated with rivers on Earth...but this doesn't seem to be occurring in Physical Material Reality as we know it. Finally we have the expulsion from Eden in Genesis 3:22-3:24 Then the Lord God said, "See the man has become like one of us, knowing Good and Evil; and now he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"-- Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken." Here two we have a few things to note: First, that the Lord God seems to be talking to others of his kind and not to Adam. Second, Eden was not the same 'ground' from which Adam was originally taken. This suggests that Eden may not be entirely physical. I would propose this is actually the Ether Realm and not the physical realm. Journey Of Souls I quoted Michael Newton before when I wrote about the Dweller on the Threshold. In his book he was surprised that it, from the souls that he interviewed and worked with in Lives Between Lives, that our part of Creation seems to be run by a Council of Souls...not just One Creator. "...Extending this thought further, we might exist as one single dimensional universe out of many, each having it's own creator governing at a different level of proficiency in levels similar to the progression of souls seen in this book. Under this pantheon, the divine being of our particular house would be allowed to govern in His, Her, or Its way." pg 275 "The concept that our immediate God is still evolving as we are takes nothing away from an ultimate source of perfection who spawned our God....a supreme, perfect God would not lose omnipotence or total control over all creation by allowing for the maturation of less-than-perfect superior offspring. These lesser gods could be allowed to create their own imperfect worlds as a final means of edification so they might join with the ultimate God." pg 275 The great thing about Michael Newton was that he was a skeptic. He didn't project on his subjects. That's why he and his clients were able to bring information about life in between lives that conflicted with the subjects religion...and so it's a lot more pure then other sources that depend on hypnosis. AUO vs AUM In Thomas Campbell Big Theory of Everything we see similar information. Absolute Unbounded Oneness...which always exists in an unchanging state came first. Then there was the Absolute Unbound Multiplicity. The simple reason for why 'God' was first depicted in the Bible as the plural Elohim that refers to itself in the plural form...is that the bible starts not at the beginning of all Creation that ever was...but our neighborhood within the Multiplicity. This distinction might also account for why Polytheistic religions popped up in the first place. Instead of realizing that all of Creation is One...and comes from AUO... mankind misunderstood what they were taught. This is the same situation that occurred with the Bible...where the majority of people failed to realize there was more then one creation of Humanity. For people who are narrow minded it might be hard to comprehend that both AUO and AUM exist but that's what multiple sources report and reflect. AUO Is The One Creator AUM consists of beings that are capable of creating universes like ours and, of course, us. There could be an unlimited amount of creators creating different universes...because creation is unlimited or, as Thomas Campbell explains, Unbounded. Yet, as Thomas Campbell states: "That AUM is perhaps a single cell populating the lower intestine of an AUMosaurus is probably far beyond the reach of AUM's awareness. You and I should not feel too bad if we do not get that far." All that matters is there is a One Creator (AUO) from which all of Creation sprung and all the different layers between it and us is not important. The most important thing is working to lessen the entropy in ourselves and realizing that all of Creation Is One. The Story of Osiris I touched on this briefly in Humanity's Purpose. The story of Osiris is the story of Adam Kadmon and Malkuth. Adam Kadmon would be Osiris...which in the night sky is the constellation of Orion that so many important shrines around the world are aligned with...because it shows an alignment with the Creator of our neighborhood and is intimately connected with our destiny as a species of correcting the error of the Creators Light being given to Malkuth before the given time. Isis would be Malkuth...and so, in many ways, the story of what we are doing...our purpose has been told including our eventual success. That's one of the reasons that the Egyptian stories are so confusing and became even more distorted with each passing generation (to the point where the Dogon and Jewish tribes broke away from Egypt because they disagreed with how Egypt taught the mysteries)...wherever they received their information from was so complete...and so outside of time...that the past and future were distinguished from each other. Conclusion I want to note that the Channel Bashar also confirms this as being how creation works...one part being unchanging and the other consisting of all of the beings of the cosmos. So, there are a variety of very diverse sources describing the same reality. The biggest thing is that this distinction does help us to correct a few distortions that have hurt humanity: 1. Are physical bodies are not what was created in the image of the Creator...but our Souls. This establishes that we are not our physical bodies. 2. Feminine souls did not 'come from' man and women are not inferior to man or owe men because we were the Temptresses that caused the Fall. The choice to express oneself as male or female occurs on a Soul level...not a physical one. 3. That there is far more to the Book of Genesis and Creation then most people imagine.
Ah, fermentation.
Without it we wouldn't have the great 'spirits' which I have to admit when I was younger I indulged in way too much. Now that I'm older it's not as exciting but an occasional glass of a good wine is equal to a piece of chocolate in my mind. Of course, when you drink Grape Juice it doesn't quite taste like wine. In fact, I don't like grape juice. Yet, I love wine because it's not as sweet and has a unique taste. Wine is effected by the fermentation process used by the winery, the type of barrels the wine is put into and the location the grapes came from. A person on the Path of the Seeker is much the same. All of us start off roughly the same in Spirit...a little underbaked, to use a quote from Willa (channeled by Daryl Anka who also channels Bashar). Our life experience is what finishes 'baking' us and our unique experiences in PMR (physical material reality) is what gives us our unique taste...much like wine. No bottle of wine tastes exactly alike...just as no two people or souls that have incarnated on the Earth are alike. We are each unique. We are individuals. Blacksmith Example Here too we might think of a blacksmith who has just rough piece of iron. In order to shape that iron into a tool or weapon it takes a combination of fire and water. The blade must be heated in a special furnace, Then cooled in water. This process is continued in a long loving painstaking process. Eventually, the blade is ready...and each handmade blade is unique. Again, this can be seen as a metaphor for those of us who have chosen to come to the Furnace of Earth to become tempered by the toughest conditions that a soul can experience. Conclusion As I said in the video, the worse thing that the person on the Path of the Seeker can do is decide at this point to throw in the towel. In our world where everyone wants everyone else to conform to the current popular norm (even if it was formerly considered alternative) it is tough to be unique. Again, as a soul in Spirit it was normal to be a part of a hive mind...we are consciously aware of our connection at all times. That's what makes this school so hard...we think that we are completely separate and it's painful. Yet, if we persevere in the Earth school of hard knocks and on the Path of the Seeker the rewards are deep and nourishing. Thank you for joining me today, Brave Soul. May you find joy and peace.
As you listen to the sound meditation concentrate on the Alchemical Symbol.
When the sound meditation ends get out your journal and write down any thoughts, impressions or ideas that came into your mind no matter how odd. I didn't see this movie in the theater.
I was skeptical about it based on the trailers. Critics confirmed it was mediocre. I have to give it a 7/10 because there were elements in this movie that I thought were absolutely brilliant. The Dionsaurs were kind of a sub-plot but there were some subtle shots of the dinosaurs that were really good. Just like Deadpool and Venom...the plot that was this movies main focus wasn't it's strength. Even in his review of this movie, my go to reviewer, Chris Stuckman asked, "What's up with the little girl?" We learn, along with the little girl Maisie, that she is the result of genetic experiments. She didn't have a mother but was a clone of the daughter that Lockwood had lost. She was raised as the granddaughter of Richard Hammond's original partner in creating the dinosaurs, Lockwood, and their business relationship ended because Hammond felt Lockwood had crossed the line. The social justice element of, "Should we save the dinoasurs?" was an interesting topic to explore. Yet, the movie mostly ended up being more of a commentary on big bad business and rich people. There seemed to be three plot lines...the mysterious little girl Maisie, the illegal auction of the dinosaurs as weapons, and the plot of, "Do we save the dinosaurs?" None of these plots were explored in depth making the film feel unfocused. Throw in the awkward charisma/love relationship between Owen and Claire...things got a bit muddy. The key brilliant moment's for me were when the little girl looked through the glass where her reflection should have been and saw the face of the genetically created Indominous Raptor. Then, of course, was the scene where she hit the button to release the dinosaurs and said, "Because they are alive like me." Those two moments made the movie absolutely worth watching for me. Personal Level I think I shared befored that the scene with the little girl, Maisie, in her bedroom was a familar nightmare for me. I had the same repetitive nightmare of a t-rex or raptor coming to get me...over and over again. In most of the dreams they were looking for my brother and not me. I have no idea what that means...but watching the bedroom scene with Maisie...which really seemed unneccesary in the movie but gave me goosebumps anyways...was really thrilling. I haven't had those dreams in a long time...but I'll explain why in the next portion of this blog. Collective Consciousness The Fallen Kingdom. Just the name invokes the level of Malkuth (Kingdom) in the Kabbalah Tree of Life...add to that the word Fallen and it gave me a bit of a pause. The dragon or dinosaur is a great archetype for the 'lizard like' basic instincts of our society. This is created by our fear...the part that lives in the intellect...often associated with the self-conscious that I prefer to call the waking consciousness. So, the dinosaur, like the dragon, represents intellecutal fear. Irrational intellectual fear is running rampant in our society right now. There is a fear that the idea that globalization, which like socialisim, looks wonderful on paper has fallen through. People were literally banking on a future one world government and economy but individual countries retaining their individuality is what people are chose...much like retaining our individuality on a personal level has been embraced by many. The idea that there is not an objective reality of which all of us are a part...but that each individual person represents a pocket of subjective reality...causes people who live in an entirely intellectual world a lot of fear. Having people choosing to be different instead of falling into line and conforming to some weird false sense of normalcy is driving the intellectual people crazy. There is an entire group that believe, thanks to Zachiriah Stitichin (and I used to be one of them but not so much the way he portrayed it) that believe that human beings as we know them were created by aliens through genetic manipulation. This entered the mainstream collective consciousness with the movie Prometheus. The entire question of ethics regarding genetic manipulation has many faucets that need to be explored. Conclusion Our world is in a transition. A one world Nanny Government was almost a foregone conclusion. That's all changed with the Trump presidency. At the same time cloning technology is a thing with celebrities cloning their dogs...what is the ethics on that subject? What are the limitations? Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom suffered from sticking to the safe story line of corporate greed. That is a tired story line and I think people are ready to move on. The rich people who make these films, however, haven't realized that yet. They are on an old band wagon. While this one was another 'meh' but entertaing movie...with great visuals...I think it's clear the next movie will be about Maizie and should be absolutely fascinating. How we apply genetic manipulation on human beings is a fantastic subject and I look forward to the third installment of Jurassic World. I'm curious where the director and writers intend to take it. Maizie was the best part of Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. |
