~~ ~~~~ aho Gentle Children All!
not poison-ality, but personality ... persona. not e-masculin-ated god, nor quantum con ... rather electrodynamic spirit, Chi, spirit-song! the 'tensegrity' of which you speak, which you seek, is the living kundalini of your WHOLE electrodynamic self -- only whole when healthy, fully-rested-dreamed, and stretched, yoga-connected! electromagnetic consciousness only exists in the dynamic state -- which is the only state of connectivity. thus absent from couch-potatoes, and the full-bellied! yoga, stretching, yawning, whole-loving-respect for the body-temple from which, through which, consciousness comes and goes and originates -- this EMOTIVE life only continues and grows when we are dynamic 24/7. as our mentor/ancestor Whale and Dolphin, swimming, pulsing in the dreamtime ocean 24 hours a day. physicality, yoga, stretching, pulsing, vibrating, shaking, dancing -- is NOT to be confused with physical abuse -- [whether bicycling, walking, dancing, working -- we NEVER do actions which bring pain, break muscles, disconnect one part of the body from another. ALWAYS move in ways which are warming, nurturing, feeling good, building your body. all motions should be in gentle circles, which consume little or no energy, and only connet and awaken you.] we are NOT here to break our bodies, break our backs, kill our consciousness ... but rather to massage, nurture, stimulate, awaken knowingness (at all frequencies, sleeping and waking) ... to build ourselves and our families in each and every and all actions ... as well as thoughts and words. this is the difference between Mother-Song, Creation-Song -- and the perversity of the Quantum Con. no Big Bangs, no Black Holes, no exploding 'universes'. the divine One is not Christian, nor any other State-dogma-tism! SHE is Tsechenako, Thought Woman, Spider Woman, GrandMother Turtle, of ALL names and legacies .. whose song is truly/literally a soundwave -- electromagnetic wave, longitudinal wave, scalar wave. thus with thought and word become SONG we nurture our collective child, world-family, baby Blue Star -- WHOLE Great Spirit Gong of all Mother Earth, all our sacred relations, returned ... Millennium Twain (and Megumi Tatsuzawa) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Illuminated_Dimensions, "SunMoonChild" wrote: I was doing my last essay for my writing class, and came across this. I cannot remember it's source, but I found it during my mad rush to become a Merkaba mystic ~ I was obsessed with the idea of the "the Diamond Body." I think I just posted about that when describing my own exprience with "the Great Work." See if this resonates with any of your material. "Sublimatio means to raise or ennoble. Sublimatio is the vertical, Middle path and corresponds with the element Air. In QBL, Shekinah is the Middle Pillar. In psychology, alchemy and magick, it is the Anima Mundi. She mediates the ascents and descents of the soul and spirit. Through her, the ten spheres of the Tree of Life slowly sublimate into Kether, the Crown (and Primordial Air). The "ascents and descents" of the soul are characterized in ancient lore as Angels. An example of this imagery is the story of Jacob's Ladder. The Supernal Triad (the top three spheres of the Tree of Life) represents the three aspects of knowledge: the Crown, Wisdom (the Knower), and Understanding (that which is known). In Kether, the Crown, all opposites reside in total union. It reconciles oppositions which are distributed throughout the other spheres. In alchemical thought, one may be redeemed through this self- knowledge. But there is great danger in direct revelation of the archetypal psyche. The danger lies in calling up the pure archetype, which the ego-consciousness is never able to assimilate or integrate. If one succumbs to the disintegrative effect, the personality is annihilated in the Abyss of the transcendent imagination. This dissolution has been likened to drowning. The alternate is release from the personal ego attitude and a pro-active move toward participation within the archetypal dimension. Dreams, active imagination, and the practice of Theurgy or Ceremonial Magick may all be seen as forms of coagulatio. In the process of circulatio, there is a resurrection of the Soul of Body. Images are an expedient mode of access to the knowledge of the soul, as it circulates rhythmically throughout every cell of the body. The body becomes subtle and spirit gains body. One is able to maintain daily functions in the ordinary world without losing intimate contact with the archetypal dimension. In fact, this connectedness to daily life is essential to balance soul-travel in archetypal realms. Maintain ordinary pursuits except during the allotted meditation period. This indirect penetration to the core-of-being produces fulfillment. One may use conscious, purposeful action to intentionally produce experience of unconscious non-action which is purposeless. This is a natural preparation for death, the experience of awareness without the constraints of time/space. The dynamic activity associated with ego-consciousness (the desire to know, to penetrate and illumine) culminates in a cessation of effort. The rational process of controlling imagination defers to another power, the autonomy of the stream of consciousness. This experience of silence and tranquility is known as Sophia, or Divine Wisdom. This means there is an emptying of the personal attachments of the ego. We then experience a timeless incarnation of the universal aspect of being. The Merkabah mystics had one goal: entry into the throne-world of the Merkabah, or Chariot of Fire (Diamond Body). They passed through the seven lowest spheres of the Tree of Life before they gained admittance. Using common shamanic methods to achieve a trance state, they sent their souls upward or downward to pierce through the veil surrounding the Throne Chariot. The devotee sought nothing more than the vision of the Merkabah. No explicit doctrinal statements beyond accounts of their journeys to the heavens grew out of the experience, nor do we find the slightest hint of a developed system beyond that of simple shamanism and the later involvement with magic. The Merkabah-rider did not attempt to see beyond the throne-kingdom or question its nature and origin. It was there. It was to be experienced, and nothing more...no specific mention is made about the precise nature of the transformation which the Merkabah-rider underwent.(3) These mystics threw their souls headlong into the fire of the Universe for no other reason than the desire to experience the Radiant Form of God. A practical example of meditational use of the Cube of Space (Diamond Body) is given by Gareth Knight, a contemporary British magician and Qabalist. He suggests the aspirant not waste time and energy in 'playing' with the symbols and symbol systems instead of using them. The correspondences enrich the conceptual framework, but should not become an intellectual preoccupation. Spontaneous offerings of the unconscious should be acknowledged without sidetracking into associations. Stick to the image, itself. For instance, build the Cube of Space in the imagination with oneself standing in the centre. Concentrate on the six main directions initially and reflect on their general function and meaning. Then it becomes a matter of following one's nose. The details of the minor directions may be filled in. It may then well occur that certain figures may appear more or less spontaneously in any particular direction. These might be astrological figures, or Tarot pictures, or William Blake's four Zoas, or images quite independent of any known system. Simply take them for what they are worth and use them in the immediate context in which they arise. Our aim, when one crops up (say the Tarot Trump I, THE MAGICIAN, in the West), is to consider what it may mean--not to rush away and start to rack one's mentality on yet another mental construction of images or how to allocate all the rest of the Trumps around the Cube. This is to substitute reason for intuition.(4) Just use the spontaneous image like an entry way and keep following your symbols deeper and deeper, letting them unfold their hidden aspects. The magical approach to the use of the Diamond Body has a purpose other than the mystic's experience of the Divine. The magician taps into the Divine power to which he has gained access. This enhances his ability to pursue the Great Work. We have our basic structure in the Cube of Space on which we have affixed the Hebrew letters and their immediately associated symbols. That is the fixed central part of our magical generator. We need to let the other parts revolve around the fixed part if the generator is going to work. The principle is just like an electrical machine, a rotating coil and a fixed one, which can be used to convert motion to power or power to motion--it is a two-way energy converter in consciousness.(5) The restoration of the original unity (Kether) is a collective venture which each individual must set out to accomplish for himself. This is not done through an imitation of the life of a god or gods. It comes through fulfilling the Great Work which creates that unique reality which is the individual. Each individual must experience the diverse aspects of his relationship with Divinity, within the constraints of time/space. Polytheistic psychology would not suspend the commandment to have 'no other Gods before me,' but would extend that commandment for each mode of consciousness...polytheistic psychology obliges consciousness to circulate among a field of powers. Each God has his due as each complex deserves respect in its own right. In this circularity, there seem no preferred positions.(6)" ~~~ ~~ ------------------------ Yahoo!
