I really didn't think I was going to be able to do this video. I tried recording this at night but I had issues trying to record and then uploading them to my computer. So, I just gave up and decided to have Michelle in the video.
To summarize this once again the point of creating a sacred space is that you can tune into the Receptivity of the Subconscious. There you can consciously plant the seeds of your intentions and what you want to manifest into your life. There are a few details that didn't include into the video: The Sacred Space is timeless, you leave technology outside of your sacred space. No cell phones and no clocks. You can set a timer on your phone but don't bring it with you into your sacred space. No outside distractions should be in your sacred space. No 'work' in your sacred space. No balancing the checkbook in the sacred space. This is a place where you cultivate serenity and peace...so these actions don't belong in this space. Also, you can include figurines- if you collect dragons, unicorns or Star Wars action figures- you can put those in your sacred space. The active meditation that you can do with these is cleaning them and arranging them. I have to admit getting this video done and sharing it with all of you was a tough one and I'm exhausted. Tomorrow I have my date day with my husband and my birthday is this coming week so I'm going to head into Birthday Week mode as soon as this YouTube video publishes. I love all of you and I hope you enjoy this video.

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.
One of the most fascinating aspects of studying Alchemy is that it confirmed a lot of information I suspected. Prior to reading about Alchemy and the Tarot I had the idea that water symbolized the subconscious and emotions but I really didn't have any proof.
That's the strange thing about Alchemy and the Tarot. Both really get to the heart of Universal Symbolism. Nothing I have studied can compare to these two systems, so closely intertwined, when it comes to Universal Symbolism. Now, in a lot of ways this stage of Alchemy is letting go of Attachments. Calcination made us let go of many of our attachments by reducing them to ashes. Often, this is through some sort of crisis such as being fired from work or getting a divorce. Both of these events can force us to let go of attachments. In Buddhisim holding onto attachments that exist within PMR (physical matter reality) is called Raga and it's considered one of the three poisons. The only way to correct these three poisons is the Eight Fold Path. So, you can see, this releasing of attachments to Physical Matter Reality transcends all religions. In Christianity this is the essence of the statement, "Be in this world but not of it." Yeshua never formed attachments to PMR. He didn't own anything. He did have a family. He didn't own a house. He never asked people for money to support his cause. (You might say his life is the exact opposite of the Catholic Church and all subsequent churches). Letting go of attachments and working with our emotions is paramount. I've said a lot about working with emotions but in essence when you acknowledge your emotions, appreciate them as messengers informing you of present circumstances, and let them go life just becomes easier. Emotions are like little mysteries and until we get to the bottom of what they are saying to us we really don't know ourselves. Once you become familiar with working with your emotions you begin to see how your emotions and your subconscious work in conjunction to create that 'sixth sense' or 'all seeing eye'. Once you cultivate that flexible mind that works with the emotions and subconscious life changes. Sometimes, as I have discovered, you can be thrown off. However, the recovery time becomes faster and faster once you know how to work with these elements of your own consciousness. Once you achieve this level of inner Alchemy you perceive life very differently. For me personally, right now, the very last of my ego attachments are dissolving in a brilliant fashion as I circle around to the same curve in the Path that I have visited many times in the last seven years as a new 7 year cycle begins. Things that I never expected to give up have left my life- a best friend that I vented to and talked to every day (I was becoming closer to her then my husband and that relationship was not a positive one), my Ford Ranger truck (I've known that was coming for a while but it was a symbol for my independence back in 2006 so I had a very strong personal attachment to it), the dog I considered 'mine' (my husband considered her mine too and not really his I've discovered because she was never the type of dog he would have chosen and I got her back in 2006 too), and even my personal bank account. There are more levels to it but these are the ones that come to mind right now (I closed my personal bank account today and it was entirely unplanned...I discovered that they had changed the contract without notifying me- other then a message to my online bank account- so that they were charging a very expensive maintanence fee because a one year 'trial period' had come to an end). All of the stuff that made me a seperate independent entity from my husband and my daughter are gone. Which ties into the the seperation phase that was supposed to be next in this play list but was accidently published in June (oops). At this point in time I've realized that I'm going into a 7 year cycle that will focus on community and family unit group work but I'll cover that in a future blog (that won't be published until March...I'm sorry. I've written a lot of content and it's all planned through next year). Anyhow, thank you for joining me in exploring this avenue on the Path of the Seeker Brave Soul. Sorry about the mix up between Alchemy level's 2 and 3...I hope you've learned something and you can check out the videos below to understand the dissolution process a bit better (especially the melting chocolate one which makes me hungry for some yummy chocolate peppermint cookies since that's the one recipe I use this method of cooking for all of the time!!).

I know many people might find it truly odd that I love this card so much.
Who wants to see the life they have build crumble completely? I guess, once you hit a certain point on the Path of the Seeker you realize that there is so much value when the structures you have based your self worth and identity on crumble that it's not longer fearful. Yes, it can be hard. You get used to it and you start to develop a perspective where, even when bad things happen, you see the good in them. Finding the good in a bad situation is not the normal state of mind of most people in Western Society. In fact, trying to help others to see the good in bad situations can sometimes backfire to the point where they start attacking you. Most people are used to and choose to dwell on their misery. They don't really tell other people about their miserable situations to gain a different perspective....but simply because misery loves company. I would even call these people toxic...they're just too exceedingly common in our society that this is actually normal. Change Yourself And You Change The World The key, I've found is to focus only on myself. Now, that might not seem altruistic but I have found it's very rare for people to come to me for advice. I'm currently reading a book called by a Jewish Buddhist Lama. Yes, you heard that right. Entertainingly he quotes Yeshua (Jesus is the equivalent Roman name) a lot in his book. Yet, what struck me most is the idea he seems to think that people come to others for advice. I think perhaps, this is a warped point of view, since as a Tibetan Lama people see him as an authority figure and seek him out for advice. In the real world adults don't usually come to their peers for advice...at least not from a place where they can listen clearly. Usually, they just want an echo chamber. They want someone who reinforces their beliefs instead of challenges them...which they can pay a therapist for since that's what psychology has become. In fact, in today's world if you don't reflect back exactly what these people want to hear they may well consider you an enemy. At the end of the day we cannot determine other peoples behavior, however, we can only choose how we act. Once we realize that when people try to drag us down with stories of their misery we can let that information just run off of us. As we know that we are not responsible for their actions or their lives there is no reason to receive the gift of their misery. Recent Personal Experience I am far from perfect. Yet, with my recent experience with the Tower Card where the last of my rigid attachments had to be released- letting go of my dog Angel Korns who crossed over the rainbow bridge- and my truck...I can say that I have become very good at these crisis situations. Choosing to have Angel put down because she was suffering was probably the second hardest decision I had to make...the hardest decision I had to make was to take my daughter Lilith-Ann who was born prematurely off of life support in 2014. I wavered on the same brink of despair when the time came to let go of Angel that I fell into for over a year when I let Lilith-Ann go. However, being in a similar situation (down to the same hospital in a similar situation where I was in premature labor with Michelle) all of the psychological training from the Path of the Seeker came to the fore and I was able to pull myself back from the brink. To sit and analyze how the death of an animal or a person can be a good thing is hard. Most in our society, because no matter how many people may profess faith they actually believe death is the end, would detest the thought. We're almost expected to pull out our hair and make a show of our grief. In some cultures, such as the Irish they have women who wail incessantly for the deceased. In the Old Testament when someone died they would put on itchy sack cloth, smear ashes on their forehead and pull on their hair as they escorted the body to it's final resting place...strangers could even be hired to perform this task to make a funeral party more impressive. Yet, that's one of the ways that I could pull myself back from despair. I will have more time to spend with my other animals, as Angel tended to be the most needy, and the most insistent on receiving attention. I will be very busy when Michelle comes and I won't feel as guilty for not paying attention to Angel. Apollo doesn't require going out to the restroom as often as Angel did. He is also not as insistent about being fed. I'm sure there is more but those are the benefits I can think of off the top of my head Why Me? When we are going through a Tower experience (a Dark Night of the Soul) the best thing to do, even if you don't feel like it, is sit down and write a list of all the ways that it can benefit you. Believe it or not, that's usually the 'purpose' that your Higher Self decided to put you through that experience. There isn't much the Higher Self can do with a life where a person is not developing themselves spiritually and extremely stuck in their ways. In the worst case scenario the Higher Self might decide it's beneficial to end such a life with a really horrible painful disease or a very traumatic abrupt death. Just because you have all of the physical comforts and all of your physical desires met doesn't mean your soul is going to be satisfied. The soul came here to learn and to develop itself...not waste time collecting some temporary physical item. As Yeshua said in Matthew 6:19-20 "Don't store up for yourselves treasures on Earth where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." As I quoted at the start of the video Rav Michael Laitman explains, "The Creator sends us troubles in order to bring us back to the purpose of Creation. Normally, if we are happy, we don't even care if the Creator exists...That is why He sends us troubles, so that we will remember Him. If we feel bad, we are compelled to think of the Creator." Pg. 293 Yet, for some reason we don't consider the Creator that way. We consider God to be this all loving being that only punishes people when they are bad much as our adults punish bad children. If we are good and seem to be doing what society thinks is the right way to go about things...we shouldn't be punished should we? We should be given all of the physical gifts and blessings that heaven can bequeath upon us. Our lives should be easy if we follow what society says makes us good people and says we should value. That's not how it works, however, because what society values and says is 'good' is usually at odds with what the Creator considers good. Most of society only seeks to profit on physical things and lack spiritual development. I can't think of any television show that even remotely suggests that spiritual development is a part of life...yet, most people think that the television depicts what Buddhists call 'right thinking'....that the television depiction of what is 'normal' is what all of us should strive for and want in our lives. When it's really just an echo of material reality devoid of all spirituality (because spiritual views are considered taboo...they can only be left to the priests of the religious institutions that can't even agree to disagree with one another whole preaching about love). Wake Up Call I got this phrase from Jamie Sams, a Native American author, who wrote many wonderful books. My favorite being Dancing the Dream. Just as Rav Michael Laitman stated...this is Spirit calling to us to Wake Up. There are lot of people who are called. Perhaps more now during this time of the Great Awakening then ever before and there are entire communities forming. Yet, there are a lot of people who will ignore or loathe the call. Like the people on the Tower card who were probably at the top of their game int he material world...when that lighting strike of inspiration knocks down the false tower of values they have built they mourn their false creation. They feel sorry and horrified for themselves. Usually, as I explained in my Dark Night of the Soul video people just go right back and build that tower up again. I know I did back in 2007. Without an ego structure through which to perceive the world we can feel vulnerable. When someone asks us, "Who are you?" We feel like we need to have a reply ready. If someone were to ask me that now I would shrug and say Bridget Korns without any elaboration for fear that if I said simply, "I am," I would trigger a negative emotional religious response. Conclusion The Tower Card is not evil. Only person who is clinging to material items to define themselves would see the Dark Night of the Soul as a tragedy. In truth, the Tower Card and all it represents holds the seeds for a powerful spiritual rebirth. Remember all of those Yod's that you saw in the Tower Card? Think of them as seeds that the Lightning strike that emanated from the sun (representing Source/The One Creator/God) that are being planted in your psyche. You can nourish them...just like the Mustard Seed parable suggests...or you can let them die and return to collecting material accomplishments that will eventually rot. The choice is up to you but the Creator did give you a choice and did specifically call to you with that Dark Night Of The Soul. When our false ego personality structures are torn down we have the opportunity to develop true freedom. We have the opportunity to start exploring and developing ourselves spiritually instead of focusing on material needs and goals but as it it must be a choice based on our Free Will...we can choose to go back to the methods and behaviors that set us up for the Wake Up call...potentially setting us up for an even more dramatic Wake Up call in the future. The Video's I Listed I know, in this video I referenced a lot of other videos that I made...seven in fact. Yet, this is one of the most important aspects of a person's Spiritual Awakening. A lot of people who go through a Dark Night of the Soul want to know about it just so they can get back to 'normal.' The subject is so involved and this card symbolizes so much, as do all of the Tarot Card Keys, that a short little video or blog hardly scratches the surface of the information. That's why I reference seven different videos that I created. I think they all hold a different perspective on this subject that will help widen your view of it a little bit more then it was previously. I prefer to keep my videos short and sweet so that you go out and do the additional research on your own. Luckily, in this case, the Tower Card is related to six videos I already made so you don't have to go looking too far. Even then, this information may not be enough to slake your thirst so I recommend the books that I reference in my videos. Thank You Brave Soul for walking the Path of the Seeker with me...you have no idea how valuable you are to the world.

This video was a bit spotty to make. The sound was a challenge for reasons I don't know. I have recorded the audio for many other videos and didn't have this challenge but sometimes...these things happen.
The connection that Paul Foster Case makes with the 7 chakra's is fascinating. I will eventually sit down and map all of of these systems out together because they correlate. I am always amazed when I receive confirmation when embarking on these journey's. The entertaining thing is that I just finished writing and recording the audio for all of the Alchemy videos. So, as I post this I can look back at the journey that I have made..and there are always startling connections. There will be a nice tie in between my initial thoughts on Alchemy and my final metaphorical summary which was completely unintentional. When weeks go by and I haven't seen what I wrote or what I recorded it can sometimes be a little bit of a shock to see it again. I sometimes forget what I wrote. I do that with video's too, sometimes. I'll go back and listen to a YouTube video I made and go, "Wow, that was really well done. I don't think I can improve it." When studying each stage and correlating Paul Foster Case's book with D.W. Hauck's I was so engrossed in each step that I lost track of the bigger picture. Instead, I focused on providing a succient summary on each one while leaving lots of room for you to explore on your own. When I saw the Introductory Video after having just written and recorded the final one I was a little startled that they tied in together. I will be creating sound meditations for these vidoes. I will focus on the 7 ascending ciphers that are depicted in the main screenshot for the YouTube video. I was not very good at explaining each of the ciphers in the video's. However, as they will be the focus of the Meditation I think perhaps it's a good thing. I don't want to be too repetitive. I'm not sure D.W. Hauck explained all of the Ciphers but I will be getting out that Workbook again and look at it to ensure to include what he said if he did. This is one of those subjects I think I could probably read the books several times and not get bored because there are so many little bits of insight. I will probably buy additional books by D.W. Hauk simply to get a more in depth feel for his work. I bought his Workbook about a year ago and it's amazing how much more I was able to get out of it this time. There is an entire section on the Azoth Mandela that I chose not to cover in the videos that Hauk has in his workbook. So, you'll just have to check out his YouTube videos on the subject or buy the workbook. You can find all of his books here: http://dwhauck.com/books1.htm and he does have a YouTube channel that you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/alchemergist There were a lot of breakthroughs for me on concepts when working on these Alchemy video's. I think this is the first time I really see the connection between western systems and Egypt. If you read John Van Auken's book on Ancient Egyptian Mysticisim it just starts to make sense...the Egyptians were the first to create beautiful complex images that conveyed a story instead of just writing it out. Each image held symbolic weight. John Van Auken speaks about this in the YouTube video I put in the link of my video but I will place here as well: https://youtu.be/48T4Z80qUfY?t=14m16s The idea to alternate between the Tarot, Alchemy and the Hebrew Letters is one I stand by now more then ever after having explored each aspect of Alchemy and the Tarot Cards in detail so far. The Hebrew letter videos will shed even more light onto the subject. My hope is that you will take time to think about or meditate on the interconnections between these systems. instead of working through each subject because I hope you make a connection between the three. There is a very nice overlap of ideas in this system. I know some will say, "You should stick to one system and that's it," but it's served me to be inclusive. The teachings of many teachers come together to form a more complete picture of what D.W. Hauk refers to as, "The One Mind." On a side note, and I do not think I made this connection when writing any of these videos (and assuming you have read my Book Reviews on Thomas Campbell's Big Theory of Everything (T.O.E.) you are familiar with these terms which I think sums up the concepts best since they are not tied to deep seated superstitions because of dogma and the fanatical Catholic Church wiping out every form of spirituality it deemed competitive. The One Mind of Alchmey seems to be congruent to Thomas Campbell's Absolute Unbounded Oneness (A.U.O.). The One Thing of Alchemy seems to be congruent to Thomas Campbell's Absolute Unbounded Multiplicity (A.U.M.). Coincidence? I think not. Intentional on the part of Thomas Campbell? I think not. Unless you believe that there is true chaos in this world and that we are at the whim of those unseen chaotic forces...you should know that there is a Divine Pattern and Order throughout the cosmos. Laird Scranton and Thomas Campbell in particular seem to have picked it out. Laird focuses more on proving the Hard Science Qualities and Thomas Campbell ties it all up with Soft Science...but there is objective enough evidence now for me to speak with absolute certainty that this Order does exist, was known by some of the ancients (Shaman's, Healers, Early Scientists- who still believed there could be a Theory of Everything before the sciences were divided into niche groups-, Artists and Musicians). I'm very excited to share these video's with you. May you experience Profound Peace as a result of these explorations Brave Soul!
This video has been on my mind for about a month now. I kept dreaming about making this video in front of the Hibiscus bush in my backyard (which I love because they are so pretty and remind me of Hawaii which I visited as a child and truly believe to be a magical place). The beautiful rose I used is also from my backyard.
As I worked more in depth on creating the videos for the 7 Tarot Cards of the Path of the Seeker, the 7 Hebrew Letters of the Path of The Seeker and the 7 Level's of Alchemy I realized I really needed to make this video. I really wanted to post it prior to the Introduction to the 7 steps of Alchemy Video which is going to come out next week. The reason being, of course, because The Rock in Alchemy is a *CENTRAL* concept to that entire process of Spiritual Transformation....and just as in this beautiful Buddhist Metaphor...the Rock represents the Mind or Consciousness...which are actually two very different things. We will get into that as we continue on this path. When we first start working with consciousness on the Path of the Seeker we start off with a very rigid Mind that seems very solid and not something we can change. We have constructed a mental construct, 'a house' of sorts through out our entire life up until that point. We construct the house by how we define ourselves and it usually involves labels...I am an artist, a Democrat or a Republican, a doctor, a manager, I am a mother or father, I drive a Mercedes, etc. We think all of those labels are us...but they're not. Our souls didn't log onto Physical Matter Reality (as Thomas Campbell calls it) to aquire a bunch of stuff or define ourselves by groups. We came here to learn and lower the entropy (chaos) of our Soul Minds (which is a fascinating subject I really need to cover in a blog) so that we can be companions with God by reconciling how we can, "Know ourselves as ourselves and yet one with God," as Edgar Cacye put it. At some point we get what Jamie Sam's calls a Wake Up call. That's the Tower card in Tarot...where the faulty mental construct that we have built with our Ego is torn down by a jolt from Spirit. All our best laid plans, no matter how good we were or kind or giving to other people, are torn down. That's a really good thing and I wrote a post on that which I will share on Monday. The Dark Night of the Soul is so important. As many of you know, I went through three, and the third one was a real doozy. Yet, I learned my lesson and I turned my thinking around realizing the errors in my belief system and thinking that were leading to such a horrible manifestation in Physical Matter Reality. That, in essence, is the Path of the Seeker. When you stand on the Mountain Top of Consciousness you gain a perspective that you were not capable of perceiving in the Valley of Despair. Yet, you will never gain that Perspective unless you walk the Path of the Seeker. All of us start off with that Rock of a Mind in Physical Matter Reality. The real trick of the Game of Life is to learn how to transform that into the beautiful attractive Flower...or Rose. Once you can do that things change and it's not all roses and sunshine...but there is a inner knowingnessi an inner dwelling of the Spirit because you have built a mental Construct it can dwell within, that allows you to move through life with pure Joy. Yes, it does take dedication. Yes, it does require discipline. Yes, it does require that you Seek with your Whole Heart placing Seeking that connection with the Divine above all Material desires and wishes. As a being created by the One Creator (God) you are absolutely 100% perfectly constructed and 100% worthy of that relationship as well as the rewards that come with it because the One Creator doesn't make mistakes. There is a far deeper level I could take this but it's not neccesary. I hope you enjoyed the video. I hope you can see the outline of the Universal connections behind this Universal Language of Archetypes that I am sketching for you. Yes, you have to use your imagination and you have to use your intellect to comprehend these connections but they are absolutely there. I am sending you much love, brave soul, for walking this Path with me! You are desperately needed in this time of transformation on this planet. This is a *Wonderful* time to be alive. Next week's blog I will cover The Dark Night of the Soul in two blog posts (no Reviews next week, although, I have plenty in the pipeline). So, I look forward to you joining me then. Have a wonderful day!
I had a lot of fun creating this video, although, for some reason it proved a bit difficult. Minor technical difficulties and set backs were the rule with this video. First, Windows did an update and I couldn't open my audio software program. Then the audio I originally recorded for this video literally disappeared...audio for all of the others I had recorded were intact. When I opened the file for this video...however...the audio was missing. Then all of the words for the end credits disappeared after I had saved the file and I was watching the video for the final time before uploading.
For me personally, I have had some fascinating dreams since I started work on this video this week. There have been a lot of very odd abstract dreams regarding Aleph. As I mentioned in the video on the Fool card this symbol evolved out of the symbol for the Bull or Ox. If you haven't noticed that was sort of one of my obsessions last year because there were a lot of movies that involved the "beast" also known as the "Bull" or "Ox" (at least five).... a lot of those images were everywhere! This year, it's not so prevalent, and I still stick by the idea that people were choosing to either give into their lower natures and act like beasts of the field...or heed the call of Awakening. This year, when it comes to this subject I had a bit of a break through. You can look forward to a couple of blogs on that subject (the working titles right now are The Bull/Beast Revisited 2018 and another is called The Return of the Goddess). Like most esoteric ideas...the bull is one that has been very much maligned...and it does have a dual meaning...you can be like the Bull or you can become like the Ox. Jesus even refers to a yoke in my favorite quote from the New Testament, and no, I don't think that's a coincidence. I think he was very much a student of the Kabbalah which either existed as an oral tradition during his time or like so many other things those books were destroyed when the Catholic Church took over humanity leaving no trace prior to the Middle Ages when they could be written down again. This letter is a powerful one and I really hope you do the meditation because it is a lot of fun.

As I mentioned in a previous blog I wasn't certain how to approach this next series. There is so much information involved in these Tarot Card Keys that I really wanted to go into more depth. I was going to let fate decide which series I did first...I was going to base it on which of the books I arrived. The book was Paul Foster Case's book on Alchemy and I realized...the Tarot, Alchemy, the Hebrew Word Assocaited with the 7 cards and Kabbalah are all very much intertwined. So, this is the first series introduciton you''ll see, but next will be the video an Introduction to the 7 Hebrew Letters of the Spiritual Path of the Seeker, and the the third will be on Alchemy. I decided that I would write the series on the Kabbalah last. I was shocked by my enthusiasm for working on the next 23 videos. Every day since I figured out how to approach this I have awoken with a new passion and zeal. I'm genuinely excited what I will discover the next day. I have stumbled some fascinating insights into myself on this journey purely by accident. When I was studying the Hebrew letter Aleph for the next video I discovered something I didn't realize. I knew that I was both an ascending Capricorn and that my Moon sign is Capricorn (which some say indicates what you were in your past life and I can see that given the last full life I lived)...but my son Sign is Cancer which is exactly the elements that Capricorn has to draw on in order to 'open their third eye.' Who knew any of that was a part of Jewish lore? I sure as heck didn't. I also had some amazing dreams that puzzle me. I haven't really decoded their meaning yet but they have several key aspects to them that I know makes them important. I also know that I have reached a new psychological level and an even more profound experience of peace. I am no longer reacting to emotional triggers that have laid me low for a long time. I've also come to the realization of why so many people are so extremely scared of the Tarot, Kabbalah, and Alchemy. That is no doubt rooted in the fact that the Catholic Church persecuted the crap out of anyone who practiced these. They killed them and burned every bit of information pertaining to these teachings. They wanted to eradicate this information from the world at all costs. When a grew is willing to go to any length to kill and eradicate all trace of any practice I pay attention. The only reason an organization would go to such lengths to do that is because it hurts them or perhaps tears down the aspects of their teaching they value most: Money and Power. The Inner Pathway is to one of peace by which we learn to create a dialogue with the Divine. There is no need for a book, a teacher, a church leader or a president. There are no outer forces of the Devil or even God directly influencing you to act one way or another...rewarding your behavior for this or that...just you. There is much more to that topic but I need time to let that perolate so that I can write it down. You alone can determine your Path and Walk It...no one can do it for you alone. The last thing the church wanted was another Master to come along. So, they killed every single person that had that potential...and that fear is so deeply burned into the Collective Consciousness that the majority of people have been frightened by it. They also distorted the teachings of Jesus to such a degree and drilled it into the memory of the people to such an extent it is mindbogglingly horrendous to behold. I have no idea what will convince people that they have distorted the information. Except...some very vicious Dark Night's of the Soul for some people. I was frightened until I hit that last Dark Night of the Soul. Since I lost that fear my life has become pretty freaking awesome. The only thing that continues to keep people in a spiritual, emotional and psychological bondage in this time that we are living in is Fear. All of the information you need to really free yourself from the fear and take the reins of your life is out there already. The spiritual, emotional, and psychological bondage isn't something that's just affecting one race...it's all affecting races, creeds and religions. True light workers are rare...most people are only out to get a leg up in Physical Matter Reality by gaining possessions or finding a soul mate (sorry but that won't complete you)... because they are on focusing on all of those goals that we are taught are important in 'real life.' We w ill see how all of that works out in the coming months. Thank you for joining me, brave soul, on this journey. I will catch you on Monday. I have a lot of pre-written content so keep checking into this blog. I hope that it doesn't disappoint.
This was a fun video to make.
I only did one recording and I loved the fact that my dog Angel comes in at the end. I loved that ending so I had to keep the video even though I didn't hit all of the points that I meant to hit. That's one of the flaws with improvisation (not having a script but making it up as you go). I kind of rambled at the end but that's one of the reasons I love that Angel cut me off. She had perfect timing. For example, I explain that the Square is usually represented by a male but don't explicitly say that the circle or sphere is connected with the female symbolically. I hinted at it and I could have and should have used an image of the masons square and compass and the chines god/goddess who hold the square and compass. All include that image at the end of this post. However, I feel that this a good introduction to this concept. As we go through the 7 cards of the Tarot Path of the Seeker these two concepts will be very important. In fact, the male and female that's in those images represent exactly this...the male is the self-conscious every day waking mind with it's ego construct and the female is the subconscious/shadow mind. I did forget to add at the end that once you dissolve/let go of the ego you discover that you can't return to that primordial state of being. By having experienced building a personality complex- even when you dissolve it- you continue to carry that experience within your Higher Consciousness. That's what gives your 'soul' a unique quality. The soul then carries those experiences and the knowledge/wisdom gained from them for eternity distinguishing it apart from the rest of creation with which it was once One. The result is a new state of consciousness. That is why I shared the Judgement Tarot Key at the end with the arrow pointing to the male (waking/every day consciousness) and the female (the subconscious) and the child (the new consciousness that is the result of their union. The ego/waking consciousness dissolves it's construct but it does continue to exist. Only now it's working in unison and aware of the subconscious. But we will get into all of that as we study the 7 Tarot Card Keys of the Path of the Seeker. I hope you enjoyed my little presentation and my new Traverler's Notes style!
The last of the Crown Chakras.
Probably my favorite of the video's I've done although probably not as interesting because there was so much that I covered in the Govern's section. Here is the Mountain Top Chakra. An intimidating prospect but if you've worked through the prior levels you should be ready to meet your Higher Self. I really enjoyed making the Chakra series. In some ways I'm sad to see it end and on others I am ecstatic they are over. I think they are a tremendous contribution of the experience and knowledge I've learned. Of course, these are the Chakra's according to me (and I'm not someone trained or certified by someone else...just a lone wanderer for whom this approach worked) based on a few resources. I know to the major skeptics and to the people who think the Chakra concept belongs only to the Eastern Belief System don't really care about the resources but, hey, when I earned my degrees if I submitted a paper with only one Source or, heaven forbid, based on opinion I would have gotten an F. I agree there is safety intellectually in numbers but as Thomas Campbell points out in his Big Toe series...the fringe are usually the ones who actually create innovation...when you're in the mainstream ideas move extremely slowly. Anyhow, I hope you enjoyed this Journey through the Chakra Systems. I had a lot of fun making these detailed videos and a lot of great Feedback from people which was totally awesome. I appreciate those who take the time to express their appreciation for what I have done. The next Map of the Pyche that we are going to explore is the 7 cards of the Tarot that Represent the Spiritual Path of the Seeker. That's going to be a fun and unique journey I haven't really seen anyone cover on YouTube. Thank you again for Joining me on these adventures and have a wonderful week! |
