his blog is a little late because it really should have been published at the same time of the 3rd Alchemical Stage of Conjunction YouTube video and blog that I published in August.
However, I had other blogs already scheduled for that month and moving things around would be difficult. So, here it is in the month of December. Again, this is another short and sweet blog because this involves so much information that I've shared before. To get the most out of this concept you should probably go watch these YouTube videos on my channel (just search for Bridget Korns on YouTube): Heros Journey Part Two: Intitiation : https://youtu.be/Z8XXE_eJFzI Brow Chakra: https://youtu.be/axikIyxhuDc Crown Chakra: https://youtu.be/32bOh0U--7o Solar Chakra: https://youtu.be/7C3qty7IQeo 3rd Stage Alchemical Conjunction (Published August 25th) Judgement Tarot Card Key 6 On The Path of The Seeker: (Published December 1st) Also see these Blogs: The Beast: https://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/the-four-lower-chakras-the-beast The Bull Symbol Revisted: https://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/the-bull-symbol-revisited ​ Jim Carey Mentioned It Jim Carey went on some late night show and talked about something similar that had to do with Yeshua. He sounded down right crazy and it was hilarious. Here is the video with him talking about the Alchemical Secretion which he calls 'christ': https://youtu.be/MsQoofHvgDM?t=29s The sad thing is that he mentions both 'sex' and 'christ' which I'm sure caused most people to throw this concept out the window.The way he describes it sounds flat out bat shit crazy conspiracy style informaiton. His information probably came from some Fear Based former Christian that still held on to all of the supersitions that Rome created to control the populace. A lot of that nonsense has lead to a lot of mental/psychology disease. I'm not sure where he got that informationi but its so confused that if I didn't know what he was talking about...it sounds like nonsense. That's a key thing with learning this stuff, as Francesca Simon said in one of her broadcasts if you can't explain this to other people in a way they can understand...you really don't know it. Physical sex is not involved in this concept. All I can say is only a MAN would make this concept so murky with projections.
The Universal Archetypal Sacred Marrige
If you watched the video I made about the initiation stage of Joseph Campbells Hero's Journey you should know that the idea of the Sacred Marriage is...universal. Joseph Campbell synthesized thousands of myths and stories the world over. He was a virtual encylopeida on world mythology. One of those prominent themes was the Sacred Marriage. The stage of Conjunction in the Alchemical Process is the Sacred Marriage because of associationes between the Pituatary and Pineal glands. These glands have a lot of symbolisim and importance attached to them.
​ The Pineal Gland
Associated with the masculine principal. This gland symbolically represents the Male principal of action and Intellect. This is the Waking Concious Mind, the man, depicted throughout the Tarot Key Cards representing the Path of the Seeker. This is the more active part of the brain in the Western World. This is our analytical brain that is highly worshipped in our societ as being the only part of a human being of any value. However, when left to it's own ends the intellect tends to be cruel and selfish. In essence, the Intellect forms the bulk of the Ego. We think that the Ego Personality Construct that we have created with all of our labels and claiming this or that in the physical world, "I am..." (I am a math person, I am a manager, a Ford person. I am a Libretarian. I am a dog owner. I am a wife, etc.) is in control of our life. The Pineal Gland is connectd to the Crown Chakra. This gland is located in the region of the Mendula Oblagata which is the 'animal' part of the brain. This is the part of the brain that is activated when we think of sex, food or any other physically satisfiying action. Talking about this gland always makes me think of Chris Pratt in Jurassic World describing why he gets alog with the Velociraptors to Clair.
The Pituatary Gland
Commonly referred to the third eye and associated with all sorts of magical abilities. There is A LOT of misinformation on this subject. Dennis William Hauck associates this gland with the female principal. This gland symbolically represents the Female principal of emotions and intution. This is the Subconscious mind we see depicted as the woman in the Tartot Card Keys of the Path of the Seeker. In the Western world this part of the mind is repressed and denied. When repressed the Subconscious creates the Shadow (see my YouTube video on Shadow Work here:). Yet, it's the Subconscioouso that is in control of our lives. Our emotions control our decision making process when we are not aware of them. Have you ever been ask why you did something and instead of coming up wtih a rational reply you state, "I felt like it." That's your Subconscious controlling you. The Pituatary Gland is connected with the Brow Chakra. Classcially, this is what people refer to as the Third Ey and I find the clip from Doctor Strange where the Ancient One tells him to Open his Third Eye (which was obviously closed beacuse he was such an intellectual). Have you ever experienced a headache in the front of the head because your trying not to cry or get angry? We usually call these 'stress' headaches. They are cerated when we are trying to block or repress an emotion.
Conjunction
This entire concept symbolizes a Psychological Process that leads to enlightnment. Now, as I stated above...these two 'halves' of ourselves are not working together. In Conjunction we find the balance between our Intellect and Emotions. All of us come into this life wounded because that is the nature of this World and Incarnation into it for deeper esoteric reasons (see the Purpose of Humanity). The only way to heal is to reconcile the Male (Intellect/ Pineal) and Female (Emotions/Pituatary) principals within us. The way to do this is to tap into our intutive emotions and start working with them...not against them. They are also aptly depicted as water. When we find this balance of listening to both parts of ourselves is when the 'pill' is created from their union that 'travels down to the Stomach.'
The Stomach / The Beast
Over the last few years in my own studies I've discovered that the Lower Three Chakras- Root, Sacral and Solar Chakras are 'the Beast' often Symbolized as a Bull as you can see in the Beauty and the Beast Imagery. In other words, those lower three chakras represent are more animalistic urges. That's why we feel queasy or get stomach aches when we are emotionally upset. This part of us is usually full of dysfunction. Society says that it's ok to have sex but religion doesn't. Society offers tons of different types of fatty food but we know it's bad for us. We feel the desire to belong and for people to like us (we want to be part of a goroup- a herd or pack) but we feel isolated because we don't want to be a people pleaser either. These are all 'blocked' or 'repressed' urges originating in these three lower chakras. When we unite the Emotional (pituatary) and the Intellectual (pineal) aspect of ourselves we can start to work with these 'lower urges.' Those blocks...all of which were communicating and can only be subdued by our emotional intuition...are dissolved when we unite our Subconscious and Intellect. That's what the 'pill created by the sacred marraige goes down to the stomach' is all about. This always reminds me of the scene from Maleficent which so perfectly embodies the Sacred Marriage concept. Maleficent would be the Subconscious, King David would be the Intellect (an ambitous ego that loves war and domination) and Aurora the Child produced.
The Sacred/Royal Child
In the Judgement Tarot Card Key (published on Nov 24th) you can see the child produced by this conjunction rising from the central coffin. As I explained in the YouTube video the childs back is turned to ous because they have turned their back to the material world...back to the One Creator. The child represents Enlightenment. This is the new state of consciousness that is created when we balance our Emotional (Feminine) energy and our Intellectual (Masculine) energy. We're happier and because we are in alignment with the HIghest Good of everyone life goes far more smoothly for us. The roller coaster ride that resulted as those two aspects of ourselves battling one antoher is finally over.
Conclusion
The main reason I wanted to write this blog is because I wanted to correct the misconceptions that Jim Carrey probably caused among people about Alchemey. Physical sex has nothing to do with it. Each stage of Alchemy represents a stage of medicene involving physical interactive symbols to help the student grasp the abstrat concept. Is it possible that the story of Jesus birth, when we look at it from an allegorical perspective, represents this exact concept? That's possible. That doesn't negate that Yeshua lived- as I explored in other blogs I cannot remember the title of- the bible can be allegorical and literal. Just look at the picture from my wedding with my husband. I included intuitive symbolisim without really knowing the purpose at the time...our wedding could be taken to symbolize Conjunction as well...but it was an intuitive synchronicty that I latched onto my vague awareness of the symbolisim If Yeshua's birth was as carefully planned as Edgar Cacye's readings say...then his birth might have been very similar to my wedding. Believe me...the synchroncity of this post being on 26th (I'm writing it in August and literally penciled in subjects to the available spaces as the inspiration came up while making the YouTube videos) was not planned. I just realized what I wrote and the timing as I went to schedule this blog and was dumbfounded. I also have to note that after learning about the Primordial Being Adam Kadmon (check out the Purpose of Humanity link below) the clip from Split that I just rewatched and posted above is even more...impactul I guess. The main charecter of the film, Casey, is also far more intrguing in light of that concept reminding me of Malkuth being given the light of the Creator too soon (often described as a sexual union between Adam Kadmon and Malkuth). After all it was Adam Kadmon that 'split'...which is just a symbol for humanitys 'Collective Soul' or 'Oversoul' or 'Collective Subconscious'...each of those are about the same topic. Especially given that the beast is created 'on the train' which reminds me of the Bashar's Train Analogy (to see more on that topic read the blog below.) I never really thought of the movie Split and the Splittig of the Timelines. Humanity's Purpose: https://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/category/1-humanitys-purpose The Two Trains Timeline Metaphor Decoded: https://bridgetkorns.weebly.com/blog/the-two-trains-timeline-metaphor-decoded As Francesca Simon says....everything is in Divine Order. Thank you Brave Soul for walking the Path of the Seeker with me!

One of the most interesting things about my Seekers Path is that I always come across these warnings that a person has to be initiated in order to perceive the material I research and share. Most of the books that I have read, especially those from the 1920's to the 1970's make these statements. How is it that I can understand these texts and intuitively grasp these concepts when other people have to go into organizations? Some of these people say it is only in Group Work that you can really comprehend it...yet, I disagree.
First, these authors lived in what Spirit, speaking through Edgar Cacye, called, "Stiff necked times." They did not have flexible minds. They had very superstitious and dogmatic approaches. I believe that limited their minds terribly. I have never joined an organization that focuses on these mysteries. I have never gone through an initiation ceremony in the flesh. The closest I've come is joining Francesca Simon every Sunday night at 11pm EST (7pm PST) for Charting Your Course on Facebook live. However, as I was meditating on this, wondering if perhaps I had done something wrong or that I was unworthy of sharing or understanding this material (although, to me the information and correlation between the systems is now as obvious as day). I was far more uncertain when I first started and very confused. I sometimes wondered if I was doing more harm then good. What I realized, particularly when writing The Bull Revisited blog, was that I did experience an initiation. That initiation was in Spirit via dreams. I also have no doubt that I was initiated in prevous lives...and in particular 7 lives ago, in particular, when I had an Indian life that is somewhat hidden from me, I know that I entered Sotapana. I'm sharing this with you as a sort of meditation. I am not saying I am special. I just want to show you that it is possible and in a recent book I was reading Paul Foster Case said as much which surprised me as he gives the most stern warnings. Given that I have offered no oath or promises to any Earthly organization, nor in Spirit, I have no reservations for sharing what I have discovered on the Path of the Seeker to those who are interested. Part of that is because I realize that the information will not attract those who are not seriously studying it. I could not find the information to piece all of this together until I was at a certain stage of the path even though many of the books I have found that illustrate it are from mid 1900's. Even books such as the Celestine Prophecy just didn't really click. Now, I understand a bit more what the Author was trying to say...even if he was a little misguided and didn't approach it from a down to Earth point of view...sometimes you just got to Say What You Mean in as simple terms as possible. The time of allegory passed with Jesus death. I think we all can see the confusion of his allegories, albeit, the people he taught were even more stiff necked then the people during Edgar Cacye's day (although, according to Edgar Cacye- entertainingly enough- many of the soul's during Jesus time cycled back into Material Reality around the 1920's-1930's and many of those who he did readings for were associates of Jesus). The Golden Screws Dream I have spoken of this dream many times because it is so profound and it happened when I truly dedicated myself to the Path of the Seeker. In the dream I stood in what I thought was a Dogon Granary. I was accompanied by the man who wrote the iAlexandriah website. He was very much one of those people who misinterpeted Zecheriah Stitchin's Annukai theory. We were both looking at this mysterious structure that didn't seem to have an obvious entrance. He'd been seeking entry for a very long time but just couldn't figure it out. The structure was a white sort of mound...but it was more egg shaped with no windows and no doors. Now that I kind of think of it...it looked like a Hindu Lingam which was absolutely not on my conscious radar at the time. There were no doors and no windows in which to enter...just smooth white slightly bumpy texture on the outside that felt much an egg. I realize now that this is very much related to Chockmah on the Kabbalah Tree of life. You can see avery rough inexact image of what I saw in the dream above. I pointed out two golden screws were lose. On one golden screw were the words, "Accept the bull." On the other screw were the words, "In no cent." The figure that was supposed to be that websites creator was surprised and startled as I tightened those two loose screws and, in effect, showed him that the mental structure he'd created was a little off. At that time, I didn't realize that the first one that said Accept the Bull was also a pun for the word, "Acceptable." Not to mention that the phrase on the other screw was a pun for, "Innocent." I had no idea that I had gained entry into the Mysteries...although, I admit I was seeking it. I was really trying to make sense of my life, I had this crazy sense of urgency, and there was just enough correlation and information between the Dogon System and the information about the Annunaki laid forth by Stitchin and the author of iAlexandriah that I knew something was going on there... The dreams occurred with the 2014-2015 period. Which was the darkest night of my soul but pushed me to expand my mind by letting go of all of the belief structures I had clung to in the past. Interpertation. I mistakenly believed that "Accept The Bull" was a reference to the Sumerian God Enki, as that was the material that website dealt with. However, through meditation, some of which you can see in this blog (any of the subjects written on the Bull and Beast). I was intellectually trying to tie it in with the material Laird Scranton shared about the Dogon (and Egypt) because I felt they were related. There was also the implication of Zechiariah Stitchin's Annunaki series and I had recently read the book, "End of Days." All three people and the structure they presented seemed to hint at a nearly lost common cosmological system handed down over thousands of years. Since then I have explored, and discovered for myself, that deeper system...The Universal Truth at the core of everything...you might say, which I didn't truly think existed, because I was only aware of Subjective Reality. I was in that phase where I believed only in chaotic chance based random material reality that has no importance what-so-ever as it is taught by today's High Priests of Science. I wasn't studying this information to 'find God'. I wasn't really sure there was a 'God' to find. The fact that I have since received rock hard Faith in a 'source', 'Universal Mind,' or what I like to call the One Creator...is just a natural consequence of the quest to learn more about myself. At that time I had rejected my lower nature. This was also symbolized by the Spiritual healing I received at the end of my Past Life Regression when my personal guide, Aswana, and Edgar Cacye entwined their hands and arms with mine. They then lowered me back into my body as I turned into a tree and planted me. The Tree of Life has been a huge symbol for me since then and I will explore that in an upcoming Mediation Blog. As some of you may know, I am currently working on a beautiful depiction of the Tree of Life as I now perceive it. The golden screws imply a few things. First, Gold is the highest form of metal in Alchemy. That is the purest form of metal. My intent was pure and that is why the screws were gold. Screws hold together the structure of things. If you have a few screws loose the structure is going to collapse. This dream implied that the structures of thought that I was studying had a few screws lose. There might be a deeper connection with Binah on the Kabbalah Tree of Life but I am still studying that immense subject. The words also say a lot about what was lose... One, that the authors of the system I was studying had not accepted the Bull...Their Subconscious. Conscious logic alone will not allow you into the mysteries...you must learn to use your intuition and your emotions because that's one of the biggest keys to this system. Two, that the authors writing about those system were motivated by profit. In No Cent suggests that you cannot enter into the mysteries operating on the desire to make money or become famous. If your seeking monetary recognition it's not going to be granted for you because...at the end of the day...that's a purely service-to-self motivation. Finding these two lose screws lose and tightening them I had gained entry into the mysteries and a cohesive structure. Dream Two: The Game of Life Dream In this dream I was playing a board game but I was also the piece on the board game. I exclaimed in joy because I had won the game. A guide appeared that reminded me of Spock from Star Trek. He was very logical. He told me I hadn't won. That I needed to do two other things. I told him that was nonsense and explained I had achieved the five things and so it was my right to win the game. I had won the game of life. There was a deep discussion where we went back and forth. He didn't think I was ready to progress but I logically and rationally proved that I had won. Well, he was probably right because that first initial awakening was just too much for me. My physical vessel was not purified enough to handle that much light and my subconscious mind really didn't have the capability of processing that information. Do I regret it in hindsight? Nope. That was a powerful healing experience. In Paul Foster Case's book on Alchemy he explains the path of Horus...and how it contains five things. In a more recent dream I opened five books...the first had only one thing in it...but I know the last had the 12 signs of the zodiac. I confirmed that I had completed each part in these books before I had a dream that I will tell you about in a Personal Update. Let us just say that I have been promised that in this life I have earned 'a happy ending' and that I may not come back after this life because my Higher Self has detached herself from Physical Matter Reality. I woke up crying because it was both beautiful and terribly sad at the same time. The Mountain Top Dream I've covered this dream in depth several times. Just like the healing I received from Edgar Cacye and Aswana at the end of my Past Life Regression I am shocked by the depth of the symbolism. Especially given that I was not aware in any way shape or form of the imagery of the Tarot. Having experienced those universal archetypes in dreams prior to reading them with my conscious mind gives them further validity...especially when I can return to them four years later and mine them for more 'spiritual gold.' Not only was that dream instructional but it really symbolized the event's that were to come as I walked the Path of the Seeker. Plus the dream was multidimensional. My husband (represents my ego) and I went through this cave that had a river running through it and huge spiders. My ex-husband was trying to follow us but he chickened out and ran away (that would be the 'Lower Aspect' of myself...the Earthy Hedonistic self). Both of us were Reporters on this journey to explore this newly discovered Mountain Top Sanctuary. My husband went over to the left part of the mountain where there was a huge slurpee machine. My husband in my actual life has been that way, he's focused on the physical world exclusively, and that's where my mind was at the time on a conscious level as well. He has the full capacity to understand the Ancient Mysteries but having concluded his exploration of the Path of The Seeker with a pessimistic College Instructor his mind is simply not open to further study. I turned my back on the giant slurpee machines and piles of food and approached a huge complex ancient Hindu Temple on the right...I went in and began to study under a Master who could levitate during meditation. My guide Aswana was also there but she was no teaching me directly (I suspect now she was my Higher Self). I was cleansed in blue water (which has a very deep meaning that I didn't realize at the time. Blue is the subconscious. Water is the second element of the Alchemical process...dissolution. The Master of the Temple taught me how to levitate in Meditation (Raising the Kundalini/Ascension). Then I gave birth to a child I never saw (a new consciousness). Then, after all of this, I was told that I had to return to the people below. The images in that dream were Universal Archetypes with well established meanings in Tarot, Alchemy and the Kabbalah. None of which I had even the slightest inkling to delve into at that time. Conclusion Sometimes you're initiated in Spirit and not the flesh. I can even say that I was instructed in Spirit. Some of the most important lessons I have learned are not from books. That I don't need what Bashar calls, "Permission Slips," which he emphasizes that you don't really need- by far was one of the most important message I received in this manner, I can still remember arguing with the person in Spirit who was instructing me, and at the time immediately put in place at work to great success. Another instance was when I was instructed that the different levels to the One Creator did not matter...all that matters is that there is the One Creator and that I can become in touch with the One Creator directly...the layers to reach the One Creator did not matter. Edgar Cacye, I would discover later, absolutely agreed with this statement, and even taught it...there are many readings where he said not to bother with anything but Source. I, personally, may be biased that I think the Spirit initiation is more important then in the flesh. I imagine some of those who go through the ceremony in the flesh later go through it in Spirit. However, you can memorize all of the facts and all of the rituals....without really knowing what you are doing. Intent is everything and that's one of the reasons people like Alister Crawley, who got a lot of attention, failed so miserably and did far more harm then good. Thomas Campbell, who was also never an initiate in any order, explained that as someone progresses consciously they are allowed more and more freedom in the Astral Plane. That people are only allowed as much as they can handle based on different factors because to give someone too much will distract them from the work they came to do in Physical Matter Reality. I think it all goes back to those two golden screws...if you really want to succeed in this work your heart has to be in the right place. You can't want out of this reality and you can't really do it out of a desire of physical gain. You have to be Acceptable and Innocent to the Higher Forces before they will really let you in...and of course, as I learned, you must then turn around and teach what you have gained to all of humanity so that everyone can be lifted up. I know, I know, I can hear the groan. After trying to figure out the Bull/Beast symbolism last year you're probably sitting there going, "More?" Well, this is a research topic that just keeps giving. The main reason this is timely is because we just studied the Hebrew letter Aleph and the Fool Card of Tarot. As you probably saw in the post on Aleph- the symbol for Aleph...the first letter of the alphabet started off as the image of a bull/cow head. I am attaching that depiction of the evolution of that Hebrew letter at the heading of this post. Second, there was a huge hubbub over Uranus traveling into Taurus on May 15th. Uranus will stay in the sign of the Bull until November 6th. The key terms I've come across when reading about that is, "Results" and Money. Some have pointed out that every time this planet enters this constellation it appears to effect the Market..and usually not in a good way. The constellation of Taurus is a fascinating subject in and of itself when looking at it from the esoteric point of view. Also, I must note, I am not the first one to be obsessed with this symbol. Carl Jung, who became interested in Alchemy and the esoteric because *SO* many of his paitients had alchemical symbols in their dreams (in fact he wrote books on the subject that are super expensive- one is still $20 and another is over $100!!) became so obsessed with the cow symbol that there is a room in his home near the lake that is covered with drawings of the Cow. He went a little nutty, in other words, studying this symbol. Aleph The subject of the Beast/Bull/Serpent is deeply intertwined with some of the deepest and murkiest symbols. The fact that the Subconscious is deeply connected to the symbol of the Female is one of the best keep secrets of Kabbalah. In fact, the entire idea that the female aspect of a person must be worked with in order to reach enlightenment. That's at the heart of Kabbalah. In the Tarot explorations of Kabbalah it becomes the most apparent but I've found that in more of the traditional Kabbalah books as well. We know that Aleph is a fairly naieve energy that runs through and supports everything. This is also an 'outward thrusting energy' which makes you think it might be more male. Yet, it is depicted as female as you can see in my video on the Hebrew letter. The energy of this card is said to run through and support all of material creation. This, in Alchemy, would be called the quintessence. Alchemists sought to reduce all types of different types of matter into that Quintessence in their experiments. These experiments were like meditations and by performing them as well as understanding the psychological and physical application to the body as well Alchemists were seeking to understand the mechanics of the universe. Taurus When we look at these teachings it's important to look at the subject from many perspectives. Taurus is one of the Fixed Earth signs. That means these are considered to be signs that stabilize creation. We also know that the symbol for this sign is what Ezekial saw in his "wheel within wheels' vision. The Bull/Beast Symbol 2017 I wrote *many* blogs on this subject last year because I was shocked by how many films or events had the bull and beast symbolism in it last year: Logan, Split, Beauty and the Beast, Transformers: The Last knight, Ferdinand and Wonder Woman are the ones that come to mind at the moment. The above image of the bronze statue of a girl squaring off with the Bull of the stock market was very potent. The fact that the bull is associated with the stock market at all is fascinating. A bull market is a rising stock market where stock prices are high. In almost all of these there was a young girl squaring off with the 'beast.' In Logan it was Laura who was Wolverine's daughter. In Split it was the girl Casey who, it turned out, also had deep Subconscious issues like the main character who was abused. Izabella in Transformers: The Last Knight. Beauty, obviously in Beauty and the Beast. In Ferdinand it's Nina. In Wonder Woman it was when she faced off against Aries...who represents all of those base carnal desires that can rise up and destroy those unprepared to deal with them. As I said, when I see such a potent symbol pop up a lot I can't help but take notice. Clearly, something is occurring in the Collective Consciousness. Last year it was pretty mysterious to me even though I had read a lot of the books that I am revisiting this year as I make YouTube videos. As with most of this information I find that I have to re-read the information more then once to absorb all of it and process it correctly. This information tends to be buried pretty deeply and when reading about the 22 major cards of the Tarot, in particular, each card needs to be digested on it's own and meditated upon to really reap the full benefits of the symbolism and deeper meaning. The toughest thing is that since Christianity was so patriarchal and tried to kill out any association with a feminine essence....references to the matriarchal were utterly destroyed. What we have today that survived from those time periods survived mostly due to oral traditions- whether the Jewish or the Dogon of Africa (which have since been converted to Islam and lost much of their history). The Bull is a huge archetype in humanity- from the constellation of Taurus which is clearly defined (although, I haven't delved into esoteric astrology too much) to various other traditions. In Edgar Cacye on the Revelation we find that the Beast is associated with the Root Chakra which we will delve into in just a moment. The Bull In The Bible In the bible we find that when Moses was leading the people out of Egypt they were worshiping a Calf. Now, we know that in Egypt they worshiped Bulls but not so much Calves. Why would the people gather together and agree to worship a Calf? Second, we also know that in Ezekial's vision of the four living creatures that have bronze legs of calves and one of the faces was like an Ox. An Ox, as I pointed out, is a very common symbol in the bible. Jesus urges us to take up his yoke and be like him...which is what an Ox carries. So, the Ox represents 'nature' domesticated. All of this seems very mysterious...until we realize that the face of the man from Ezekial's vision is the fixed sign of Aquarius, the Lion's face is the fixed sign of Leo, and the Eagle is actually the fixed sign of Scorpio (which was a constellation described as an eagle before a scorpion). Each is associated with the four elements, earth, air, fire, and water. There is more that could be said here, I am sure, but I haven't delved into it very deeply. Instead, we are going to turn to Egypt. A Dream Symbol Mystery The main reason that I have been absolutely fascinated with the Bull symbolism is due to a dream. I have covered this dream before but my mind kept going to it and it has been solved. In that dream, there was a structure representing the Mystery. I noted that there were two screws lose. One of those screws troubled me, because I was misled by the work of Zehciraih Stichin (although, he did do me a great service because he helped me to see religion and spirituality differently. I do have great respect for the man because he was thinking outside of the box). That golden screw said, "Accept the bull." (The other golden screw said "In no cent," which I understood as anyone that wanted to use this information for profit or to reinforce their ego would not be successful. I was aware both were puns- one saying Innocent and the other Acceptable...but they had layered meanings as dreams often do). The only symbolisim I had studied at that point was what Zachirah Stitchin said and the Bull represented Enki. I was not willing to give up worshiping the One Creator as opposed to a minor deity. This frightened me because the Annunaki scared me at the time thanks to how they are portrayed by the online community and mostly fear based individuals interacting with the material...and projecting fearful Apocalyptic Christian ideas on to the old Sumerian tales. The Bull Symbolizing Hathor I will go further into depth on the "Goddess" connection to this subject in another meditative blog on that subject. As I studied the Tarot, in particular the Star key pictured in the last section, I discovered that the Bull was actually representing Mother Nature. Sometimes, this is also referred to as Isis. Remember how that beautiful Goddess's name has been tarnished thanks to a male group of terrorists? When I realized that Hathor, often depicted with Bulls Horns, was the original Bull God I was Shocked. The horns she wears on the her head also symbolize the three phases of the moon. However, often times she wears the Solar Disk upon her head that symbolizes the One Creator in Egyptian Art. Egypt was monotheistic, it would seem, at it's core, at one time but the priests twisted the teachings to their own ends so that they could profit off of them. Originally, in Egypt there was one God, Ra, that was the primal source. You might be confused that the original Bull was a woman. Bulls are associated with men. Originally, most breeds of cattle had females and males with horns. The horns were eventually bred out of the female cows. Go ahead and do your own research on this topic. Paul Foster Case says very plainly the goddess Hathor is Mother Nature. I guess you could also refer her to the Earth Itself. She is the undomesticated wild energy of the beasts of the field that underlies most of mother nature. She can be deadly but she can also be very gentle. I think that all of us are familiar with this Archetype. The God Enki In Babylon the truth was even more confused then in Egypt by the priests. They turned all of the symbols that had preceded them before into the images of men. So, the images associated with Hathor became Enki. Doesn't this picture remind you a little bit of the image on the Star Tarot key? Enki has two streams of water pouring off of him. Water, as we have discovered elsewhere, is a fantastic symbol of the Subconscious which is associated with the Quintessence. The Subconscious is our connection with the divine. In Alchemy, the Subconscious has to be filtered. In fact, in modern channels such as the Pledians they tell us that we are fish. We are fish swimming in a sea, they say....we are the product of the subconscious and most of us are subconscious. In the Tarot Moon key it shows a crawfish crawling out of the ocean...that's what we do with Mediation. We crawl out of the ocean of our subconscious...we stop being zombies...but we will study that in depth soon. Notice the calf at his feet again...similar to the calf fee of Ezekial's vision. Again, this is a major archetypal symbol that repeats. We also have the Eagle at the top representing the fixed sign of water, or Scorpio. Now, since I have studied the feminine principal enough in other writings I can comprehend what this image represents. This image absolutely represents the Subconscious. Enki is said to be the God of the Ocean. He was filtering gold from the Ocean...but there was very little of it. Here is the deal, in Alchemy, Gold is spiritual development. Well, when you study the story of Spirit (which is more or less what the Subconscious is) you find our souls progress very slowly because we are so unrestricted. Souls are so content in Spirit they change very slowly and it's hard to reverse bad habits. Yet, the rulership of Earth was given to the god of the Land, Enlil, because even though there was more gold in the ocean...it was far easier to obtain on land. Land is Material Reality. This simply symbolizes that even though the Subconscious came first...it was the Waking Consciousness that governs a person. The rulership was given to the Land because by coming into a physical body, forgetting our history and the old bad habits from before, allowed for far more Spiritual progress at a far more rapid rate. We learn and accomplish a lot more when going into physical bodies then when we stayed in Spirit. That's what the Sumerian tale of Enki and Enlil really represent. The only battle between them is the battle that goes in within the self between reconciling the Subconscious and Conscious mind. Conclusion
Humanity doesn't seem to want simple. We want an opposing force outside of ourselves to fight. Yet, that's not what the myths and spiritual stories passed down for generations really mean. All traditions have the same kernal of Truth at the center because they are all based on Universal Archetypes that come from Subconscious which is our telephone line to Spirit. Artists and writers are the ones who develop this line of contact to the fullest but the scientist is the one who can really make magic happen in the outer world. These symbols are then interpreted by the culture that receives them. Then usually misinterpreted by those who follow those who had the original vision because they have nothing they can relate them to except literal physical matter reality. Humanity, even now, for the most part cannot conceive of abstract ideas because it requires imagination. If I were to go to most Christians and say, "Armageddon is a war in your mind between your Conscious Waking Mind's carnal physical desires and the Spiritual desires that lie in your Subconscious. Your subconscious is like a garden that you must tame and maintain in order to have a better life but first you must become centered in your heart," they would flip out on me or completely fail to understand what that means. Yet, that sentence sums up the majority of what I have learned on my Spiritual Path and what has brought me great joy most recently. While everyone is searching for Truth to come to them in the external world it lies inside them as seeds patiently waiting to grow...but they must turn inward. Finally, on a Collective Conscious level, the fact that the Bull has popped up simultaneously with the return of the Goddess is TREMENDOUS! If you have followed that the Subconcious is synchronized with both the symbol of the Goddess and of the Bull....it really means the same story is being told. Hence, the little girls with the Beasts. I have realized what this means on a deeper level, yet, this blog has gone on far too long. Suffice to say, more people are paying attention to and honoring their Subconscious more then ever before! |
