SIX SONGS, 2017

a short zine illustrating a chapter of the Hechalot Rabbati, an ancient Jewish mystical text which describes—in gory detail—the dangers of listening to the angels singing around the merkavah (holy chariot). it features detailed pen & ink artwork drawing from both Jewish symbolic tradition (including panel borders inspired by antique Ashkenazi gravestone carvings) and a modern macabre visionary style.

incredible to look back at this one 5 years later! my first Jewish zine. folks' response to this really changed my whole creative practice & it helped me find my voice after almost a decade of artistic burnout.

“With its roots in Jacob’s ladder and elaborated in biblical Jewish merkavah mysticism, the doctrine known later in Greek as theosis is found in the writings of Dionysius the Areopagite, and Symeon the New Theologian, as well as the Jewish Kabbalah as demonstrated by Joseph Karo, the Baal Shem Tov and his disciples. In other words, Pico intends his angelology in these two works to be understood by the learned classes throughout Europe as a prescription to achieve union with the divine.

By “divine union,” what is meant? The final snapshot of this arduous and paradoxical, or perhaps even inconceivable journey is different in various traditions. Different from the ecstatic, fiery, yet agonizing transformation of the prophet Enoch into the archangel Metatron, called “a lesser YHVH” in 3 Enoch,7 or the graphic, luminous transformation of the mystical abbot of St. Mammas Monastery in Constantinople, Symeon the New Theologian (949–1022), into the Body of Christ in the tenth century CE,8 Pico’s vision of theosis was more akin to sharing God’s “mind stream.” That is, instead of a merger of the corporeal human aspirant into the incorporeal infinitude of the godhead, theosis for Pico was a kind of gnosis and a point of view that was simultaneously individuated and collectively unified. This can be seen in his description of ultimate divine union as possible while the philosopher is incarnate, more akin to a supremely exalted state of consciousness. While achieving a state like this necessitated neglect of bodily cares and desires according to Pico, he also asserted that this prescriptive formula for divinization actually purified the body as a dwelling place for the divine presence.”

Honestly, I consider my self "pro-israel" but still very critical about Bibis goverment, specially since fuckers like Gvir ad Smorvtich are in charge. I think that with Hamas finally gone and this fuckers either jailed for good or gone since they are actually hated by the Israeli population rn (The only reason they havent kicked them to kingdom come is because its the middle of a war) a good faith peace plan for both sides can be established with a third party of trust.

This being said, why the fuck do people root for Hamas? Ive seen this so called progressive even calling them 'resistance'. These fuckers are the main cause that palestinians are in the situation they are in. They use all the money they get from aid to try to attack israel, use their own population as shields because they dont care about them and indoctrictnated them to hate since children. Do they really want to leave them opressing Gazans like nothing happened after oct 7th? Because Ive havent seen any goverment willing to do this dirty work because, sadly, Hamas wont reliquinsh their "power" peacefully.

Honestly, in a past I considered my self pro-palestinian and pro-israel, at least publicly, but these loud minority of Hamasinks seemed to have hijacked a movement that started with good intentions. But sadly it appears that this minority is becoming the majority.

Is there anything that can be done to revert this? To alianeate these extremist from the reasonable voices?

First of all, hell of an anon to get. If you're baiting, nice job. Otherwise I'm going to assume this is a good faith ask. (Though I'm still confused as to why you asked me.) So re: why do people support Hamas. I'm assuming you're referring to the Pro-Pal Left that has reared its head since October 7th. Honestly I think it comes down to the privilege that almost everyone in the Imperial Core has: Freedom from War. These folks learned about War Crimes in highschool or whatever, never bothered to learn what they actually were and the how and why of their drafting, and now they hear about Israel bombing hospitals and they can't imagine any possible scenario where that could be justified. To these folks War is two armies marching at each other in block formations in an open field. And perhaps their only conception of Urban War is the civilian-less and consequence-free set pieces of modern warfare shooters. And it shows! I've seen people praising the Mujahideen in Gaza as brave and noble heroes for slapping the side of a Merkavah with a tandem charge RPG all while ignoring the fact that the person firing the RPG isn't wearing any sort of distinguishable uniform and are therefore committing the crime of perfidy. And it drives me insane because perfidy is such a fucking poisonous thing to do. Any action which erodes a belligerents ability to read actions in good faith is horrific, and actions like that are exactly what Hamas' strategy and tactics are based on and around. To break it down for the pissing on the poor crowd: 1: Hamas plans operation and bases soldiers in hospital 2: Israel bombs that hospital, whichever officer in charge has made the hard decision that the number of military casualties is worth the number of civilian collateral casualties, as well as damage to the hospital infrastructure. (THIS IS LEGAL AND NOT A WAR CRIME) 3: Hamas makes up death count and has their media corps play corpse jenga 4: useful idiots in the Imperial Core see that Israel bombed a hospital (no possible reason for doing that other than killing innocents!) and the 3000 years of antisemitism thats hardcoded into their brains kicks in and all the blood libel floods out. As for alienating the extremists from the moderates. I have no idea. Frankly I could care less about what Johnny Jihad or his leftist brownshirts care about Palestine or Israel or Jews or Palestinians. I give far more of a fuck in making the world a better place where I can. And that takes many forms. Including skipping out on my draft service because I didn't want to risk being a part of the apparatus that does in fact contribute to the oppression of Palestinians. What have any of these "Pro-Palestine" leftists ever done for the Palestinian cause that comes anywhere near that level of direct action?

Chaldean Oracle Verse 147, Gate of Man and Gate of Immortals, Cancer/Capricorn, and Daniel.

If you speak to me often, you will perceive everything in lion-form. For neither does the curved mass of heaven appear then nor do the stars shine. The light of the moon is hidden, and the earth is not firmly secured, but everything is seen by flashes of lightning.

If you often invoke me all things will appear to you to be a lion. For neither will the convex bulk of heaven then be visible; the stars will not shine; the light of the moon will be concealed; the earth will not stand firm; but all things will be seen in thunder.

Disclaimer: This post is part of my original line of posts of my own blog where I...you guessed I ramble about stuff even if I am wrong because why not. Take it with a grain of salt AND if you actually know what the verse actually mean and want to correct me please go ahead.

In the sixth hour you have the form of a lion; your name is ΒΑΙ ΣΟΛΒΑΙ (BAI SOLBAI), the ruler of time.

"the light of the moon is hidden" reference to Cancer.

Summer tropic is in Cancer, and the winter tropic in Capricorn. And since Cancer is nearest to us, it is very properly attributed to the Moon, which is the nearest of all the heavenly bodies to the earth. But as the southern pole, by its great distance, is invisible to us, hence Capricorn is attributed to Kronos (Saturn)

in On the Cave of the Nymphs by Porphyry:

Homer was not satisfied with saying that it had two gates, but adds that one of the gates was turned towards the north, but the other which was more divine, to the south. He also says that the northern gate was pervious to descent, but does not indicate whether this was also the case with the southern gate. For of this, he only says, "It is inaccessible to men, but it is the path of the immortals

You can kinda see the similar gnosis/insight people have to associate Helios with Hecate in that sense if you attribute this oracle line to Hecate like Psellus did.

Porphyry clearly states that the signs from Cancer to Capricorn, which constitute the descent of a soul into a body, are situated in the following order: and the first of these is Leo, which is the house of Helios (the Sun); afterwards Virgo, which is the house of Hermes (Mercury); Libra, the house of Aphrodite (Venus); Scorpius, of Ares (Mars); Sagittarius, of Zeus (Jupiter); and Capricornus, of Kronos (Saturn). “But from Capricorn,” he adds, the ascent is naturally “in an inverse order.” That is, in an inverse order on the opposing curve of the wheel of the zodiac. Aquarius is attributed to Kronos; Pisces, to Zeus; Aries, to Ares; Taurus, to Aphrodite; Gemini, to Hermes; and in the last place Cancer to the Selene (the Moon), only upon the soul’s descent into a body is the sun’s sign (Leo) encountered. This is basically the whole dichotomy of Metatron and Sandalphon, because you get that similar connection between Malkuth/Kether and Enoch/Elijah, what I see personally is this hinting toward merkavah and Hekhalot literature where you descened to the chariot/merkavah. In a way I can definitely say the hints are astrologically coded but the practice itself isn't astrological strictly.

the whole descent into mysteries is in that verse, the curved mass of heaven nor do star shine IS THE LITERAL HEAVEN if you scry them or work through the gates of merkavah. The light of the moon is hidden and earth is not secured because you're reaching a place that's not "here" in the objective sense of the world, everything is seen by flashes of lighting is very apt way to describe how you actually see stuff there! almost very reminiscent of dreamy visions where everything is remembered haphazardly !

In summary the astrological hints are just symbolic not practically invalid but not restrictive into it, since the sun/lion-form is the first thing that come after Saturn in descent and last thing before Moon then you can see the hint THERE. It's not lion, but the sun which when it shine so brightly it will hide the rays of the moon, you can see that the sun is both what we can fall into and we can rise through.

I definitely felt very excited to share my hot take about this oracle line, because it is rather very related to some other blogs that I did work with. Now...dare I say that these lion forms is what Daniel saw in the pit when he got thrown? notice how Daniel immediately start having visions after the lion pits from Daniel 6 to 7, it is an immediate jump.

Daniel in the Lion's Den c1615 Peter Paul Rubens

HB: Well, there are Yahwehs—just as I say there are seven versions at least of Jesus or Jesus Christ, or Jesus and Jesus Christ, in the Greek New Testament, there are innumerable versions of God in Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible, but the one who interests me and always has and always will, is the original one, the first Straha, traditionally called J or the Yahwist, probably written as early as the reign of Solomon, 3,000 years ago, in which most certainly he is as I say a stern imp, up to a lot of mischief, something of a trickster God—human all too human: he's always walking around on the ground; he isn't flying up in the air—he's walking around on the ground in order to make personal, you know, sort of on the job inspections of how things are going. He closes the door of the ark—of Noah's ark with his own hands; he even more memorably buries Moses in an unmarked grave, with his own hands; he is very fond of picnics; thus at Mamre he sits beneath the terapim trees because he always likes to be in the shade rather than the sun, thus he walks we are told in Eden in the cool of the day, at Mamre, with two of the Elohim who are his angels he sits beneath the terapim trees, and he has a sumptuous rather full-scale luncheon prepared by Sarah—roast veal and whey and freshly baked sort-of cakes. And how is one to put it—he on Sinai, on the side of Sinai, he sits there and shares a meal with 73 elders of Israel. They stare at him and he stares at them and that's it. He doesn't say a word and they don't say a word, but there he is. And according to Kabbalistic tradition, from the Merkavah thing on, he's enormous, he is I say the King Kong of deities, he is of enormous size.

LQ: What leads you to think of this God as more than an exceptional fiction?

HB: Well, his metaphysical density, his ferocious and vivid personality, his intensely human traits—I gather you're not going to eat that so I'm going to put it back in there—

LQ: One more bite.

HB: Go ahead, go ahead. He is . . . he is a . . . the reason why I keep invoking Shakespearean characters like King Lear, who is I think Shakespeare's version of Yahweh, or Hamlet, who has a very complex relation I think to Mark's Jesus, is that Yahweh, Mark's Jesus, Hamlet, King Lear, Falstaff, Cleopatra, Iago—they are all more real than you are, whoever you are, and yes, they are fictions, but if they're fictions, what are we? Since they are livelier than we are, exceed us in energy and in dynamism, as Yahweh does also. [...] he's quite a fiction, he's very persuasive and as I keep saying in the book I wish he would go away. I don't like him. I don't feel anybody can like him. His famous definition when Moses asks him his name—his famous self-definition is ehyeh asher ehyeh, translated by William Tyndale as "I am that I am" and that's kept in the Authorized Version of the English Bible. The Hebrew "ehyeh asher ehyeh" actually means "I will be, I will be;" "I will be that I will be," or to make it into better English "I will be present wherever and whenever I choose to be present," but I say throughout the book that also means "And I will be absent wherever and whenever I choose to be absent." And he is very distinguished by his absences, it seems to me. But if he is just a literary character—well first of all I don't recognize any distinction between literary and human characters; I mean I'm notorious for that, and why not be notorious for that—it seems to me that the sacred Bloomstaff, as I call him, is at least as real as old Bloom—Sir John Falstaff, of course. But not even kidding, I mean what can you say about the Yahweh of the J writer? He is endlessly memorable, he is endlessly unreliable. [Pause.] But he gets inside you. I repeat I would like him to go away, but he doesn't seem to go away.

LQ: Why doesn't he go away?

HB: Well, because I'm pretty sure he is our equivalent—I mean, our equivalent for him now is what our Uncle Siggy Freud called "reality testing" and the Reality Principle. Freud says that reality testing means that you have to "make friends with the necessity of dying."

LQ: So he's the name of everything that opposes our will.

HB: Yeah, he is . . . [...] But since I don't think there's any distinction whatsoever between sacred and secular texts, there's only great writing and bad writing (or good writing in between I suppose or fair writing) then it's natural to speak of—in fact, remember what Blake says; he says religion is just choosing forms of worship from poetic tales, and then he adds—this is The Marriage of Heaven and Hell — "Thus men forgot that all Deities reside in the human breast." But that doesn't mean that they don't reside there.

{MerKaBa}

(sometimes spelled merkavah and, or merkabah) is a vehicle of Ascension. It was believed in ancient times, and even written about by the Hebrews, that the merkavah could be turned on by certain principles in meditation. This involves breathing changes, and mind, heart, and body changes that alter the way a person perceives the reality. A fully activated MerKaBa field enables you to turn your body into a ball of light and bring it with you as you travel from one dimensional world to another.

{Sacred Geometry and The MerKaBa}

The key to understanding how to use the MerKaBa begins with a basic understanding of sacred geometry, which in turn, will enable you to locate an electromagnetic field shaped in the form of a Star Tetrahedron. That field is around our bodies. A Star Tetrahedron is made up of two interlocking tetrahedrons in a manner that resembles the Star of David but three-dimensionally (Fig. 1). The two interlocking tetrahedrons represent male and female energy in perfect balance. The tetrahedron facing up is male, and the one facing down is female. There is a Star Tetrahedral field around everything, not just our bodies.

Figure 1: The Star Tetrahedral fields around our bodies

There is also a tube that runs through the body. It connects the apexes of this Star Tetrahedral field. Learning how to breathe through this tube, combined with rotating the fields, produces the merkaba, a vehicle of ascension. We have a physical body, a mental body, and an emotional body, and they all have Star Tetrahedral shapes. These are three identical fields superimposed over each other, the only difference among them being that the physical body alone is locked—it does not rotate. The merkaba is created by counter-rotating fields of energy. The mental Star Tetrahedral field is electrical in nature, male, and rotates to the left. The emotional Star Tetrahedral field is magnetic in nature, female, and rotates to the right. It is the linking together of the mind, heart, and physical body in a specific geometrical ratio and at a critical speed that produces the merkaba The word "Mer" denotes counter-rotating fields of light, "Ka" Spirit, and "Ba" body, or reality. So the Mer-Ka-Ba then, is a counter-rotating field of light that encompasses both Spirit and body and it's a vehicle----a time space vehicle. It's far more than just that, in fact there isn't anything that it isn't. It is the image through which all things were created, and that image is around your body in a geometrical set of patterns. That image begins at the base of your spine as small as the original eight cells from which our physical bodies first formed. It moves out from their first forming a Star Tetrahedron, then a cube out at your hands, then a sphere, then back to back pyramids( known as an octahedron) then an icosahedron, and then a dodecahedron. The field extends out a full fifty to sixty feet in diameter, depending on your height. It looks like a flying saucer (Fig. 2). That field is an immense science that is being studied everywhere throughout the cosmos. How well someone understands the MerKaBa, is usually in direct relationship to their consciousness level.

{The Heart Meditation}

In the AWAKENING THE ILLUMINATED HEART workshop, we will introduce you to ancient esoteric teachings that illustrate for the left brain how there is truly only One Consciousness, One Spirit, and that we are all part of that Oneness. After your mind understands this concept, we will then teach the proper prana flow, and along with its' companion, the Unity Breath Meditation (which will also be taught) will allow you to feel and experience this Unity of Being. As you become more adept in the practice of entering the sacred space of the heart, your life will change profoundly as your inner eye opens to the unlimited potential of the human spirit. The ascension process is accelerated through the remembrance of the MerKaBa, a crystalline energyfield in a specific geometric structure extending around the body for 55 feet.

MERKHABAH EXPLAINED IN A PARAGRAPH

“Now though we speak of these levels distinctly, they are of course inter-dependent. This is what we mean by the phenomenon of Merkavah, or ‘chariot’ so often spoken of in Kabbalah. Even while I’m in meditation, or contemplating with Neshemah (intellect), I need the assistance of Ru’ahh (feeling) and Nefesh (action) as well as the body. So my Neshemah (intellect) is riding in the ru’ach of an awakened heart, which is riding in the Nefesh of an awakened energy-field, which is riding in the guf of an awakened body. In this kind of chariot, one vehicle is invested in another.”

-Reb Zalman (Gate To The Heart)

Topic: Kabbalah: The Legacy of the Initiates

Time: Oct 9, 2023 07:00 PM Central Time (US and Canada)

Spiritual initiates from every religion have existed, conveying their teachings through diverse scriptures, allegories, and symbols. The Jewish mystics were no different. However, their knowledge was codified in such a way as to provide accessibility and insight for those who were trained to read, interpret, and understand with an awakened consciousness. This lecture builds on [Kabbalah: The Doctrine of Soul and Spirit](https://chicagognosis.org/lectures/kabbalah-the-doctrine-of-soul-and-spirit), describing how five elements of Medieval Judaism can inform our understanding of initiatic life, specifically through Aggadah (narrative tradition), Halakah (Jewish law), Piyyut (liturgical prayer), Merkavah mysticism (the science for creating the soul), and The Sefer Yetzirah (a profound scripture of magical, initiatic import).

Exploring the Mystical Paths of Kabbalah and Chassidut

Kabbalah and Chassidut are two mystical and spiritual traditions within Judaism that delve into the deeper aspects of Jewish spirituality and the connection between the divine and the human soul. While they share common mystical roots, they each have distinct philosophies and practices that offer unique insights into the spiritual journey. In this article, we will explore their origins, key teachings, and how they continue to inspire spiritual seekers around the world.

Kabbalah: The Ancient Jewish Mysticism

Kabbalah, which means "to receive" in Hebrew, is a mystical and esoteric tradition that dates back to the early Jewish mystical texts known as the Merkavah (or Merkabah) literature, which emerged around the 1st century CE. However, Kabbalah as it is known today began to flourish in medieval Spain and France during the 12th and 13th centuries.

Key Concepts of Kabbalah

Ein Sof: Kabbalists believe in the concept of Ein Sof, which represents the infinite, unknowable aspect of God. It is the source from which everything emanates.

Sephirot: The Kabbalistic Tree of Life consists of ten interconnected Sephirot, or divine attributes. These attributes represent different aspects of God's nature and provide a framework for understanding the divine and the universe.

Mystical Meditation: Kabbalists engage in meditative practices to connect with the divine and gain insight into the hidden truths of existence. Techniques like visualizations, mantra repetition, and contemplative prayer are commonly used.

Chassidut: The Mystical Movement of Hasidism

Chassidut, or Hasidism, is a mystical and spiritual movement within Judaism that emerged in the 18th century in Eastern Europe. It was founded by Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov, often referred to as the Besht, who emphasized the importance of serving God with joy and simplicity.

Key Concepts of Chassidut

Divine Immanence: Chassidut places a strong emphasis on the idea of divine immanence, the belief that God's presence permeates all of creation. This perspective encourages a deep sense of spiritual Insights of the Weekly Torah Portion connection in daily life.

Joyful Worship: Chassidic teachings promote joy and enthusiasm in serving God. The idea is to find the sacred in everyday experiences and to elevate mundane activities through spirituality.

Rebbe-Disciple Relationship: In Chassidut, a Rebbe (spiritual leader) plays a central role in guiding and mentoring their disciples. The Rebbe's teachings, blessings, and spiritual support are highly valued.

Commonalities and Shared Goals

While both have distinct historical origins and approaches, they share common goals and themes

Both traditions seek to deepen one's connection to God and the spiritual realm.

They emphasize the importance of personal transformation and character development.

Mystical experiences, prayer, and meditation are central to both.

Both traditions recognize the significance of a qualified spiritual guide or mentor.

Conclusion

Kabbalah and Chassidut are two fascinating and deeply spiritual traditions within Judaism that have enriched the lives of countless seekers over the centuries. Whether one is drawn to the profound philosophical teachings of Kabbalah or the joyful and experiential approach of Chassidut, both paths offer opportunities for spiritual growth, connection, and a deeper understanding of the divine. These mystical traditions continue to inspire individuals around the world to explore the mysteries of the soul and the universe while nurturing their spiritual journeys within the context of Judaism.

Perché non viene esercitata la misericordia? Eppure è un attributo importante di Dio. Lo stesso Dio pantocratore, vale a dire Colui che possiede non tanto tutta la forza del mondo, e la esercita, bensì la superiorità e ogni preminenza possibile, più volte nella Bibbia si ferma di fronte alla possibilità di colpire e distruggere il popolo che lo ha tradito o che non l’ha ascoltato. Per i Greci era Zeus a conferire, come e quando voleva, il krátos a una delle armate in lotta. Una superiorità che mutava secondo gli umori del dio. Ma lungi dall’essere confinata alla guerra la superiorità è anche una manifestazione del potere esercitato dal re, dal capo, dall’eroe. Il trionfo, il vantaggio che si trasforma in vero esercizio del potere deve sapersi fermare, deve sapersi arrestare. Certo l’esercizio del potere è caratterizzato da un certo progressivo indurimento, un rapprendersi della violenza nel dominio temporalmente più lungo possibile. L’uso che la cultura greca-omerica fa di queste due accezioni – in realtà molto più di due – del krátos, almeno come le spiega Emile Benveniste, è molteplice e si allunga in epoca post-omerica a fornire lemmi a profusione al vocabolario politico occidentale. Il Dio di misericordia rompe con il Dio degli eserciti, anche quando appare nelle “mandorle” bizantine come il Pantocratore. Perché non si riesce più a tener conto di questa rottura? Perché si è regrediti a Omero? Forse addirittura a prima, perché neppure si prende in considerazione la differenza che già la grecità manteneva circa l’uso del krátos! Scrive Benveniste citando la Costituzione di Sparta: “mentre gli altri Greci ammorbidiscono i piedi dei loro bambini calzandoli, gli Spartiati induriscono (kratúnousi) i piedi dei loro, facendoli camminare a piedi nudi”. O rivestiti di acciaio, come i carri armati Merkavah? Nel primo capitolo del profeta Ezechiele, Merkavah è il carro di Dio, dalla cui visione sono nate infinite speculazioni esoteriche, Ma‘aśeh Merkavah e nella tradizione talmudica l’Hekalot. Lo dico da lettore, e solo da lettore quale sono, ma la polarità Atene Gerusalemme rischia di trasformarsi in una ben più terribile Gerusalemme Sparta.

P.S. Misericordia e perdono non stanno perfettamente insieme, ma entrambi possono essere esercitati solo da chi ha forza d’animo. Il perdono di chi vince e quindi perdona chi l’ha costretto a vincere, vale a dire a usare la forza e a conservarla; la misericordia di chi avendo vinto riconosce la sconfitta dell’altro un po’ come la propria, perché ogni vittoria ottenuta con la violenza testimonia non solo della forza ma anche del cedimento alla malvagità altrui.

MERKABA New Arrivals https://www.etsy.com/listing/1510140668/merkaba-paper-craft-merkavah-rainbow-diy

https://www.thecanadianbazaar.com/jews-descended-from-brahmin-priests-of-india-says-new-book/#:~:text=About%202%2C400%20years%20ago%2C%20the,he%20was%20right%2C%20says%20Brown.

This will upset many people, especially vehement anti jews, but it is a reality people are going to have to face.

The kabbalah, merkavah mysticism etc and the general ontology of a monastic, supreme consciousness, emanating into all that is we see and interact with, with total boundless, free will, in which can be interfaced by us, as emanations of the supreme; gifted with free will - directly corresponds to that of prevedic ideologue, the idelogue of those studying the brahmavidya - the ontological structure of shaivism, evidently predating the vedas themselves and the devas of the indoaryans.

Mind you, every other system interpreting the vedas i.e the vedanta school - differs from this perspective, they either believe god does not have free will, or that this reality is, "an illusion", in contrast to a multiplicity of the one supreme consciousness.

The aryans were consumed with the devas, similar in nature to aryan descended Greeks and their gods, for the sake of compartmentalized, spritual or other powers of the natural world.

The indoaryans discussed a prevedic shiva worshipping civilization, they encountered 3000 b.c.

The hebrews are descendants of this precise society - a class of brahmin priests in which migrated west, from india - as aristotle mentioned over 2 millenia ago.

The jews were originally shaivites.. in which relied nearly entirely on oral tradition who spread their knowledge and integrated their philosophy into other cultures, using the symbols and linguistics of novel, western civilizations of both iranian and various cannanite - hence the alien nature of the Hebrew language as a semitic language relative to others in the region, as well as the emergence of monotheistic zoroastrianism in the respective province.

The invisible father and barbelo, mentioned in the secret book of John- is an absolute kabbalistic depiction of the supreme consciousness birthing the first material manifestation.. the first question of the answer and all answers, the first step in the infinite dance. Just as barbelo (the mother father) and the invisible father are androgynous, with barbelo being an inseparable multiplicity of the supreme consciousness, parabhairava and bhairavi (the goddess) are the same.

Kashmir shaivism, cultivated in the syncretic religious mecca, now war torn due to religious and cultural disputes - is the most similar ontologically to Jewish kabbalah and had a massive influence on sufism.

While only an official categorical sect of hinduism as of 1000 or so a.d, expounded by the great Abhinavagupta, its most foundational roots, are far predating.. this early eastern culture, is the lost, esoteric key of Abrahamism, hidden in plain sight and Kashmir shaivism, the school of thought directly descended from it- astutely conveys this sentiment.

Mer-Ka-Ba

History has talked about the Mer-Ka-Ba mostly as the vehicle that allows a person to ascend or descend into the higher or lower worlds. But actually the Mer-Ka-Ba is much more than just a vehicle of ascension. It can be, really, anything — since it is the primal pattern that created all things and all universes, both visible and invisible (see The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life, volumes I & II). In the Bible there is reference to Ezekiel and the wheels by which Ezekiel ascended into heaven.[3] This was the Mer-ka-Ba. In the Torah, there is reference to the Merkavah (as it is spelled in Hebrew) which has two different meanings: One meaning is “chariot,” which is a vehicle; the other is the “Throne of God.” When the two definitions are combined, the true meaning comes to life. In Ancient Egypt, this primal pattern was called the Mer-Ka-Ba. It was actually three words, not one. Mer meant a kind of light that rotated within itself. Ka meant spirit, in this case referring to the human spirit. And Ba meant the human body — though it also could mean the concept of Reality that spirit holds. And so the entire word in ancient Egypt referred to a rotating light that would take the spirit and the body from one world into another. I once spent a couple of hours with Credo Mutwa, the spiritual leader of the Zulu tribe in Africa. He explained to me that Merkaba (one word) was a Zulu word meaning a space/time/dimension vehicle. He told me that according to Zulu legend his entire tribe had come from another dimension here to Earth using the Merkaba. In the modern world there are teachers worldwide — and I am one of them — who are helping people remember the Mer-Ka-Ba. Thus begin a process in consciousness that will eventually translate us from the third-dimensional world into the next higher one through what is being called “ascension.” Ascension involves a process where the human body is transformed into light and translated by an incredible birth into a new world. It is achieved through a meditation that requires the mind, heart, body, and spirit to completely integrate in one pattern of light and transcend the human limitations of this reality. This concept of the Mer-Ka-Ba as an ascension vehicle is not new. It is very, very old. mer-ka-ba. What actually is the Mer-Ka-Ba? Technically, it is an electro-magnetic field sitting at about four degrees Kelvin, found primarily within the microwave range — at least in the third dimension — that is entirely geometric in nature. Specifically, the geometry used is called “Sacred Geometry,” as this particular geometry is found in the creation patterns of all things in Creation. merkaba geometry The Mer-Ka-Ba field is extremely complex, involving the five Platonic solids and other sacred polyhedrons. It is believed to extend through all possible dimensional and parallel universes, and can possibly change its nature from electro-magnetic to whatever is appropriate. The blueprint of the Mer-Ka-Ba is found throughout nature, such as in this photo of a galaxy. One of the functions of the Mer-Ka-Ba, as we said, is to act as the vehicle to take the spirit and the body into the next world. However, this function — and most of the other possibilities — is impossible to obtain until something changes within the person. Sombrero galaxyThe Mer-Ka-Ba is situated around the human body like a three-dimensional geometric web that is dormant and nonfunctional, waiting for the right moment. When the spirit that inhabits the body remembers that it is there and begins to change certain aspects of itself, an incredible transformation begins to grow. It was believed in ancient times, and even written about by the Hebrews,[2], that the Merkavah could be turned on by certain principles in meditation. This involves breathing changes, and mind, heart, and body changes that alter the way a person perceives the Reality. From my perspective, it is the beginning of “Enlightenment.” And yet it is clear that the Mer-Ka-Ba can also be “activated,” as the New Agers say, by other methods beside the male-style instructions u

Scrying the Fire elemental kingdom..in Retrospect.

I know, I sometime start some stuff and take a very large break or never fully bring it to closure but I think this working deserve some sort of closure. Yesterday I finished my scrying of the fire elemental realm. Anyway to cut to the chase I hope everyone remember my sandalphon-assisted elemental scrying and last scrying session was with water elemental kingdom. We get into Fire now!

Fire is like this realm that jumps toward you. This was a very distinct thing for me because I felt like the gate of fire literally "came to me" and I entered it instead of me going into it.

Definitive thing as I was getting accustomed to the world of fire realm and elemental is this sense of hot feeling all over me, and my nose started feeling like I just ate something spicy or I inhaled some chilli pepper powder in my nose. I was mind blown when I oriented myself toward the scenery ahead of me without any assumption it was like an underground HUGE caves and caverns, the caves went down and the whole place was like an underground system and it span down like channels all around.

I felt the tension and heat of the place definitely but I didn’t think that the world of fire elemental would “underground” to say that was definitely a surprise. My own spirit guide explained to me that the fire elemental world is an upside down underworld, if what I am seeing is going down it is actually about going up the realms. The vision is like this mirroring between each element. It was definitely an interesting seeing that fire elemental guide was more of a whirling humanoid figure, Very Intense and Tight, Very Whirling and Changing, not Static.

The whole world felt like a more intense and charged version of Air, faster and with more force to it. The guide took me to a circular staircase where I was blinded by bright light at the top then I saw what I can describe as scenery filled with HUGE temples and pillars they had these very distinct Greek architecture to it. The elemental guide told me that this is where spirits who choose to incarnate in earth live before going to earth, not all spirits choose to incarnate into earth but those who do live here for a while.

Afterwards I was presented with these 3 steps staircase and nothing was infront of it, I took each step and then suddenly I was met with this huge infinite wall of light with changing patterns. The wall was like a “stop sign” and I couldn’t push any further, pushing my finger into it I felt physically my finger get “heated” and sensation of sudden “stop here”. I looked above and saw what I can describe as this circling turning around of lights at the top. I assume that I needed more purification if I wanted to continue onward. Lastly, in retrospect I can see how these realms border on merkavah ascension literature, Olympic spirit work, astral projection and so on. There’s definitely an overlapping between these realms and a deeper connection between all of them in spite of what they look outwardly so disconnected, with each experience I am finding more and more that the inner realms are more self-referential and connected then they seem to be! Stay tuned for the final conjuration with Sandalphon as I finalize my discussion with him about the elemental worlds.
