There have been a lot of surprises for me on the Path of the Seeker.
The last one, really understanding what Yeshua's ministry was really about, is perhaps the one that floors me the most...and starting to understand the story of the Garden of Eden in a depth and detail I didin't even think was revelent has been another. Sometimes, along the path I feel like Pandora...I opened up a box filled with a lot of stuff that I wasn't sure I liked but once released there was no going back. Unpacking it for others is a bit difficult. There's been so much information, so much inspiration and so many experiences I can't keep up. The Chakra Surprise When I first read Brenda Davies the 7 Healing Chakras and got to the end where she said to clear the chakras was to be come a Channel...I was a bit horrified. I associated channeling with being in contact with evil beings..that's what the church tells you...so the *LAST* thing I wanted to be was a Channel. I mean, I have no problems with Daryl Anka and Wendy Kennedy who are two amazing channels that have shared a lot of truth. I just didn't want to be one...so, I had to deal with that misunderstanding and fear. Brenda Davies didn't convey the concept in the proper way. Being a Channel doesn't mean you have to 'channel' a being. I discovered that working to clear the chaos and blocks in your chakras helps you Channel more of your pure Divine Essence- whether you call that your Soul or your Higher Self...the words themselves do not matter. Either way you start to develop the five Clairs- the extra sensory perception that everyone talks about as though they are magic powers and some people don't believe to exist. To me, the most important is Clear Seeing..seeing reality for what it really is and the Ancient Truths for what they are...as well as how the misperceptions ('sins') developed. These Clairs are what Yeshua referred to when he said, "He who has hears, let him hear." Clear hearing and clear seeing was required to understand the parables. The Truth Is SO Different From Commonly Held Beliefs Someone once said that when you learn the truth you will be humbled and some might not believe in anything anymore. We've been sold on this big daddy on the sky who does everything for you concept...and that hosts of beings that will do everything for you...but we are here to grow and really we have to do the work ourselves. Those beings will help but only we can undertake the steps neccesary to become spiritually mature. My journey has been a magical one. I never sought power or anything of that nature...I only sought to gain peace and faith. I did not have those when I started out on the path but I can report that I have gained them. I have an unshakeable faith now and profound peace. I know that the majority of the people that I meet do not have that state of mind and that saddens me but there have been a lot of people who are now working toward it...more then ever before! My First Experience With Merkaba The meaning of the Merkaba is probably the most fascinating subject for me...it's a discovery that just sort of fell into my lap. I remember back in 2014 I came across a lot of symbols and ideas that were just flooded into my mind as though I made a psychic connection and the other side of the conversation was sending me a flood of information that I couldn't really sort through. One of those concepts was the Merkaba. I remember asking a person who was trained as a Channel at the Learning Light Center what a Merkaba was...because that weird word had come up in my dreams...and I did research on the subject but couldn't find much. That Channel had no idea. I did find a Merkaba made of minerals. The woman who sold it to me said that the different stones represented the chakras...but she didn't know what it symbolized- other then the name Merkaba. I bought the piece and wondered at it but the meaning escaped me. I had many questions. First, what was the association of the Merkaba with the Path of the Seeker? Second, why would a Merkaba be formed of minerals associated with the 7 chakras? Third, why does the Merkaba look like the Jewish Star and also referred to as a Chariot? The Merkaba Back in 2014 I did discover that the Merkaba and the Star of David symbolized the concept of the union of Heaven and Earth and the term "As above so below." Well, it was while working on Alchemy that I discovered what the Merkaba is...and why it has to be formed and it isn't something we automatically have...it's something we have to 'build.' This information wasn't written out in plain English in a book, as you are reading it now...I have no source that say this blatantly. In Alchemy, like a plant, we learn how to grow spiritually. In fact, in my videos you can see that I settled on the use of a metaphorical garden as a way to describe the alchemical process. When I reached the end of my studies and discovered that the entire purpose is to grow an Etheric Body I was shocked...why would I want to astral travel? I have no interest in that form of escapisim and I don't believe in finding answers 'out there'. Why Do We Have To Create An Etheric Body? Creation isn't complete. We, as souls, are not complete. We contain the pontential of our final form but we start off as little 'soul seeds.' We must grow into being 'the image of God'...and the way our souls were created that growth occurs through incarnations on Earth. I can't exactly remember what source explained that we have to experience the same existential process that AUO (Absolute Unbounded Oneness) experienced when it became AUM (Absolute Unbounded Multiplicity). Yet, that describes perfectly why we have to 'grow' or 'build' our etheric body. We start off by perceiving ourselves...that's a major step on the Path of the Seeker. We don't know ourselves until we step onto the Path of The Seeker and work through all of our subconscious parts...all our repressed aspects. Those repressed aspects of ourselves developed from the experiences that we had over multiple lifetimes and sojurns in Spirit. In fact, there is evidence for the fact that we are undeveloped Souls in the book Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. Most people assume that when we die we become souls that 'know everything' but that's not true at all. Instead, our souls go to a place that is similar to a school. We're part of soul groups that are a bit like study groups. We study so that we can go back into life on Earth and learn our lessons. We develop our unique set of interests and abilities. That doesn't sound like a mature soul...that sounds like a bunch of spiritual children. That's exactly what we are...little balls of light that are seeds...spiritual seeds of light that must grow and 'unfold' intentionally to reach that point where we are in the 'image of the creator.' We are the Yods or Yuds, depending on which interpertation of the Hebrew word you prefer, depicted in the Tarot Card Keys. In the Kabbalah it is said that Adam, because he gave the Light to Malkuth (Kingdom) or Physical Material Reality if you prefer that name, too soon exploded into a bunch of sparks (Yods) that fell to Earth. We are the Yods. You can consider Adam what is created when all of the souls of Humanity are put togehter (oversoul)...we are all a part of the 'body of Adam' - the Spiritual Body of Adam- but we have forgotten that we are One. (This story is told as Sakti who is dismembered and falls to Earth in the Hindu Tales, Osiris in the Egyptian Tales, and the Sacrficed Nummo in the Dogon Tale.) I will touch more upon my insights into the story of Adam and Eve and how it's a correlate to these other tales in a different blog. These are largely due to the work of Laird Scranton who only studies these subjects and corrleates them with PMR which makes him a unique and fascinating source of information. Those balls of light are not the image of God' that we are told that we are in the Bible. They are the potential of the full imageof god...just as AUO was the potential of AUM. We were 'made in the image of God' in Spirit (on a soul level) before our physical bodies were made from the Clay of the Earth. If you're curious about this concept I suggest you watch the videos by John Van Auken of the Edgar Cacye A.R.E. or his books Edgar Cacye on the Revelation or Edgar Cacye on the Kabbalah (which make the most sense if you read the one on Revelation first and then the one on the Kabbalah). Conclusion The Path of the Seeker and the 7 paths described by all traditions are of paramount importance. That Merkaba made of the 7 chakra stones is perfect...it is a perfect expression of the Path of the Spiritual Seeker. Only when we work with the 7 fold path of unfoldment do we create the Merkaba...or the etheral "Chariot," We are growing into becoming the 'image of the Creator' in which we were made. To do this we have been given a series of steps that we can undertake to discover our true essence. That process is beautiful and it's an amazing journey. I can go into so much more depth into this subject but I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible and write this in small chunks so it's easier to process. So, not only does this 7 fold path help you to become a clear channel of the Divine that helps you develop yoru Discernment, but as you walk it you also create a more spiritually substantial body. The ultimate goal is spiritual matuirty...which literally affects us on the soul level...our souls literally grow. That little seed spark sprouts roots, a stalk, leaves and fruit. We already know what the fruit of the Spirit...gentleness, forgiveness, kindness, paitience, hope, long suffering and peace. To gain these traits we have to grow...too many people try to cultivate each of these fruits but the fruit is the end product of the spiritual growth...it's the result and not the path itself. Here is why the resurrection of Yeshua was so important...and why he appeared as a 'body of light' that his followers could not touch at first because it was newly formed. He had created his Etheric Body, his Merkaba, and it was able to interact with others. He proved that the Kabbalah (and Alchemy and the Tarot Card Keys) was true. Once we create the Etheric Body we no longer need to return to the flesh for our lessons. Our lessons are complete...so we no longer need to experience the life and death cycles of the physical bodies. Only those who have developed enough experiences to have a sense of self can withstand the presence of these higher level beings. Experiences equate to spiritual mass...and you have to have a strong selse of self to withstand those who exist in higher dimensions. The Path of the Seeker is one of Self-Discovery and Growth...which is the same experience that AUO had when AUM was created.

I wanted to share something I read in Dion Fortune's book, "The Mystical Qabbalah."
There is ample evidence that Yeshua was a Kabbalist. He was a member of the Essenes (as Edgar Cacye first suggested although evidence did not show up until later that this group actually existed) that were absolutely eradicated by Rome. The most fascinating evidence of this is the Lord's Prayer: Matthew: 6:9 -13 “Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom come, They Will be done, On Earth as it is in heaven, Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive those who tresspass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen Applying The Kabbalah The Kingdom refers to Malkuth. Malkuth represents the Earth. This our neighborhood and it is what fell when Adam Kadmon decided to use his will power for his own selfish puproses...defying God. Yet, this was not a terrible thing as I explained in Humanity's Purpose (see side bar of the blog for the link). Check out the YouTube video I ceated for Malkuth to understand the story even deeper. Power is The Sephiroth Netzach This is the realm of teh 7 Rays of Life that Alice A. Bailey wrote about. These are the 'forces' or 'powers' that work to create our neighborhood of creation. Often they are personified as pantheon of gods. Check out the Book Reveiw for the 7 Rays of Life and the YouTube video I created covering the Sephiroth Netzach. (I will eventually cover each Ray in a YouTube series but that will be in 2019). Glory refers to the Sephiroth of Hod This is the Sephiroth of the Eloheim...or the multitudes that are the product of the 7 Rays. The Angels, in other words, belong to this level of the Sephiroth Tree of Life and they are the 'brick layers' that are responsible for carrying out the plans of the 7 Rays. Father Refers To Chokmah I haven't really covered this Sephiroth. This is cut off from the lower 7 Sephiroth of the Kabbalah Tree of LIfe because of the 'fall.' Until the correction of those Sephiroth occur Chockma is, essentially, a mystery. Eventually we will cover the concepts behind this Sephiroth in it's own YouTube videos but that won't occur for some time. Conclusion I just wanted to share this with you. There isn't much else I can say. I have come to the conclusion in my studies that Yeshua and the Essenes were more than likely deeply into the Kabbalah. That's one of the reasons that even after Rome converted they tried to wipe out the people who practiced Kabbalah...and they erased any text that was contrary to what they taught about the bible because it was counter productive to their agenda of pacifying the population. The Hebrew Letters that make up the name of the Sephiroth of Geburah are:
Gimel, Beit, Vav, Reish and Hei. Let's take a look to see what hidden meanings in the name of this Sephiroth! Gimel Starts the word for camel- Gamul- which represents the ability to nourish others by abstaining from water for 30 days and bearing a burden. According to Abravanel this is reminiscent of our spiritual Journey. Begins the word for exile (galut), paradise (gan eden) and bridge (Gamla). Also begins the words for great (gadol), mighty (gibor) and courage (Gevurah). Finally, it starts the word for loving kindness (gamelet hasidim). Beit First letter used in the bible. Begins the word for blessing (Beracha). Begins the word for House (Bayit). Also the name of the holy temple (Beit Hmikdosh). The words for places of study (batei midrash), social gathering (batei knesset) and prayer (batei tefilah). Finally, it starts the words for daughter (bat) and son (ben). Vav Abravanel describes this letter as Yud with a straight line down from it. Vav starts the word for hook. Vav is tied to the Sabbath and the importance of rest. The Hebrew word for confession also starts with Vav. Reish Reish starts the Hebrew word for Will. Resh begins the words for both Holy Spirit and Breath. Resh also starts the words for healer and healing. Both Abravanel and Hoffman connect Resh with meditation. Meditation involves the breath because it is through our breathing and the discipline of meditation that we eventually master our breath. Resh also starts the word for head, evil and noise. This suggests that it is the breath that we can create 'wise head' as Abravanel calls it. Associated with Mars. Hei Used twice in the Tetragrammaton. Was the first letter of Abraham and Moses response to the Creator meaning Here I am (heenayni). Also starts the letter for soul bearing- Hitbodedut. Abravanel associates Hei to speech, the Month of Redemption known as Nisan and the Tribe of Judah from which the Messiah will descend. Summary A bridge (Gimel) of the house/place of study for the son and daughter (Beth) of rest (Vav) to heal their will (Resh) and reveal speech (Hei). Image Impression First, there is the letter of Gimel that looks to me like a candle on a plate. That's followed by both the flame and the plate becoming longer in the letter Beit. That's followed by Vav where the 'plate' falls away completely so that the letter looks like just a candle. That's followed by the flame becoming even bigger and the pillar of the candle shrinking for Reish....and finally there is Hei that looks like an open door. Conclusion Knowing the story of Adam Kadmon and the Purpose of Humanity (a link to that blog is on the right side bar menu) this word is perfect for this Sephiroth. In this word we can literally see how and why PMR (Physical Material Reality) was created. Geburah literally represents a bridge or constriction between the Creator and PMR. It even explains that reality was created as a house for the sons and daughters of humanity so that they could heal the problem of misusing their will power (mars energy). The misuse of the Will Power occurs when people use their will power to create only for themselves- not for all of humanity and the One Creator. Every time we undertake an endeavor we should ask ourselves, "Will this benefit all of humanity (and thereby the One Creator) or am I doing this solely for myself?" When we operate from that place of doing everything for the betterment of everyone we are working in Grace. When we operate from a place of selfish gain it 'misses the mark' or the 'goal' of PMR (sin).
This Sephiroth is fascinating.
Here we find that Intellectual Tower that we have built that we call our personality. I have talked about this many times. We have to take apart our personality construct...but this is the level where these constructs were first formed. These Forms Exist In Spirit This level ties in with the concept of Karma. These personality constructs are not just ones that we constructed in this life. Instead, we have brought some of these constructs into this life with us. That's one of the reasons that Earth is considered as a difficult school...there is a tremendous ability to let go of the intellectual constructs that we have developed over the course of our souls experience very quickly. One of the reasons that we choose the parents that we have is because they can help illuminate these negative personality constructs that we carry as souls. Sometimes this happens by having a parent that has those same negative personality constructs so that we can see ourselves within them and be given a choice not to be like them. While a child will declare, "I'm nothing like my parent!" There is an inevitable pattern that parents teach their kids. A child has no other pattern on which to base themselves. A daughter is most likely going to be just like her mother. A son is most likely going to be just like his father. This is even indicated in the bible that says, "The Sins of the fathers shall be visited upon the Sons." Remember, sin means 'missing the mark'...it's an archery term. Knowing that most children become just like the parent of the same sex...this is very true because we are likely to repeat the same mistakes when aiming for the bullseye...because there is often nothing else to base our own behavior patterns and way of interpreting the world. There is no blame, because we know, that people choose their own parents and on our own Path we have the choice to look at the behavior patterns...and choose to transcend them. We can see that one of our Personal Purposes was to come in and transcend those patterns that are often subconsciously programmed and unacknowledged. The Left Hip Yesod has a close connection to the Sephiroth of Netzach. Yesod is called the Left Hip. Netzach is called the Right Hip. Dion Fortune makes it clear that there is no coincidence of where these Sephiroth are associated with the body. In order to walk our Left Hip and Right Hip...or legs if you prefer...must work together. There has to be a close partnership between these two Sephiroth. This is because in Yesod are the Eloheim...they are the "brick layers" of our neighborhood of the Creation. Management exists within Netzach. They are still not the Creator but they are the ones who understand the plan and help to organize the forces of Creation to accomplish that plan. The Eloheim First, it's important to know that in the book of Genesis the name Eloheim as the name of God is used in the first verse where humanity is created on the Spiritual level. People are often surprised that there are two sections where humanity was created in the Bible (the Torah) but humanity was created with male and female equal in Chapter One...and there the name of the Creator is Eloheim. How interesting is it that the Hebrew Kabbalah system consider the Eloheim as a set of Angel assigned to the Sephiroth of Yesod? There has been a fascinating fear based idea ideology developed within the alternative spiritual community. The Eloheim, assigned to the level of Hod on the Kabbalah Tree of Life. The Eloheim have been interpreted as the Sumerian Annunaki. This is because of people like David Icke. I don't hate David Icke and some of what he teaches is brilliant but he's stuck in that prevalent Spiritual Mind Trap of blaming outer forces for the trouble int he world instead of traveling the Inner Path. This is because of the popular interpretation of the bible that God and the Devil are outer forces fighting over a person's soul. Transferring the same fear from the Devil to the Eloheim is not a form of an evolution...it's just creating the same pattern in a new way that seems more accessible. Yet, the Eloheim are a fascinating subject. When we take a look at the 7 Rays we will see that those 'forces' became the Multiplicity...and the Eloheim were the multiplicity that were the result. They are not those organizing forces that we will come to in Netzach...they are the beings who actively Create the cosmos as we know it. While they are called Angels there is nothing that states that they are all knowing or perfect In fact, if we look at the book of Genesis...the Eloheim are the These beings, in fact, seem to have descended (lead by the Soul of Yeshua) to Earth to help with physical mankind...they are referred to as the Sons of God. Yet, these souls were no match for physical desire and became as attached to PMR (Physical Material Reality) as the souls that had become entrapped in flesh. (By the way this is interpretation of Genesis comes from the Edgar Cacye readings). There failure to rescue the souls that had become infatuated with PMR and the chaos they caused on Earth lead to the Flood (which many connect to the antics of Atlantis). Those souls remained trapped but they were less powerful because they came back with the Veil of Forgetfulness like the Sons of Man. That is the main reason that Malkuth was 'cut off' from the Tree of Life...it was too dangerous for direct contact because of the chaotic power held Collective on this level of Creation. Remember how Yeshua claimed the title of being a Son of God? He was identifying himself with the Eloheim...not Yahweh or the One Creator and not as someone special because there was a whole group that were 'corrupted.' He was just one of those who successfully demonstrated how to become enlightened and no longer be trapped in Samsara. When we speak and when we study we really have to be aware of the terms and their definitions. The knowledge of what these beings are, the Elohiem, have been known by the Jewish Kabbalists for centuries. Why even bother trying to create new definitions on ancient concepts then going to the source? That is my main reason for including this little diversion...to dismiss both of these fear based and spiritually immature Distortions with the book of Genesis and the idea of the Creator. Conclusion This weeks spiritual lesson for me has to do with Spiritual Maturity. There will be a blog on November 21st on this subject. A good deal of that subject has to do with the relationship we form with the concept of the Creator and other aspects of Creation. This Sephiroth deals with really deep emotional attachments...our parents and our concept of the Creator. These belief and behavior structures are usually really hard to work with because we are so unaware of them. As you can see, all of this, on the personal level, exists on the Subconscious level. As we Ascend the Tree of Life in our personal life we are exploring the very Pattern of ourselves. The Sephiroth of Yesod holds much of the information that the Ego tries to deny and repress. This the information that lies deep in the Shadow. When we are in Spirit we are very much aware of these complexes and behavior patterns...however, on Earth because of the Veil of Yesod we are not aware of them, although we are given amazing opportunities to become aware of them, the Ego thinks that we need to be protected from recognizing them. Just working with this information- identifying and transforming these patterns in a waking conscious level on the Earth Plane and these behavior patterns can take a life time...and it is extremely admirable. Yet, a human lifetime to work through these issues is lightning fast on the Spiritual level where time is much slower. So, you can see where thought this is a challenging school you are absolutely BRAVE for being here! Thank you Brave soul for joining me on this avenue of the Path of the Seeker. |
