Solar Growth of the Soul: Mysteries of the Spiritual Sun

The Spiritual Sun (@SpiritualSun) / Twitter — The Spiritual Sun is beyond the material sun. It is an intelligent being and its rays are the rays of Christ.

In the natural world we can verify that the sun produces growth. The electrifying rays of the sun allow the plants to grow, and the trees to reach out to the heavens above. The solar energy transforms water by evaporating it into clouds, which then produces a new energy, a secondary force that we know as thunder and lightning. The water that pours down from the heavens hydrates and nourishes the plant and vegetable kingdom. The animal and human kingdom feed upon the vegetable kingdom which also promotes growth of the physical bodies.

A more subtle growth that occurs is the mental, and the intellectual growth. We see this mostly in the human kingdom. People are striving to become mentally more capable, learning trades and skills, language, and all aspirations to refine the intellect.

A certain degree of conscience looks at the sun and sees its physical effulgence only. The physical sun which grows plants and produces heat and light and creates the physical bodies, without it physical life would not exist. Using the the secret of analogies we can see the triune nature of the sun. The physical, the mental, and the spiritual. Behind the light and heat is love. The triune nature of the sun is also seen in the microcosm of man and his three fold nature of body, mind and spirit each one less dense than the other. A more subtle degree of conscience sees through the physical aspect of the Sun and recognizes the cognizance the sun bestows which allows us to be self aware and self reflect in the same way light is reflected into water. The sun and our inner water allows us to self reflect. This gives way to all sorts of different utilizations of the mental faculty. Thinking patterns, imagination, self observation,and such things that allow the inner being to utilize the mind to analyze its surrounding and circumstances and our ability to overcome the animal impulses of the material nature and rise above it.

Connect With the Inner Giver

Kabbalist taught that the universe is made up of a duality between the almighty bestower which is known as the creator and the receivers which are the creation and all of the myriads of beings within creation. Each being has its inner giver within. We all have our inner father. This is the bestower.

Kabbalist taught that humanity gradually develops this inner aspect of giving. By nature we are receptive, as souls we want to gain experience and have things happen to us and receive from the bestower. We are able to tap into a huge reservoir of unconditional love if we change the polarity and activate our inner giver. If we activate the inner giver we can know that are actions will be unselfish and we will enter the transcendental plain of consciousness.

The Seven Powers of the Creator

The Number 7 is prevalent is all of the teachings, myths, scriptures, and even daily doing such as days of the week, the 7 musical notes and the 7 colors of the light spectrum. The one infinite white light separates into 7 and forms material creation with the 7 forces which are intelligent and personal. The 7 chakras are well known in the indus valley esoteric tradition and in the Christian tradition. they are known as the 7 churches or the 7 candlesticks before the throne of God.

The number 7 us ascetically pleasing to the eye, most structures use 7 or twelve. It is a beautiful number in and of itself and is perfection. The initiate must activate the 7 centers of the body and awaken the 7 forces of the the soul that collaborate with the 12 intelligences within man to form the the Light of the World. The 7 forces of nature come about through the top three seperitoth of the tree of life, love,wisdom and crown the eternal three in one principle or what we know as the holy trinity. Active , passive Neutral.

The seventh Victory Samael Strength

The powers are forces that are driven by intelligent beings. Without the strength of Samuel we would not be able to overcome challenges there would eb no ability to fight for what is right or resist temptation. It is also the cause of temptation the fiery powers of Mars descend down the spinal column to the groins. We must use the power of Mars against itself and steal back the fire that descends this is how we work with strength and willpower.

We know the muscial scale Do Re MI Fa So La TI and then silence.

We descend from this non note down the scale only to rise back up from the Do then as we develop here in physical incarnation we ascend backup Re ME Fa SO La Ti, finally we arrive at a subtle level of being. Here in the physical body we have to raise the dormant energy up the 7 chakras, each chakra represents one of these notes. As we ascend in our body we will also experience the corresponding realm of existence that signifies the particular note.

The 7 planets correspond to the 7 scale notes and 7 powers of the creator. Spirit starts at the higher octave and descend into the rings of Saturn and then goes down into physical incarnation in the realm we refer to as Earth. Saturn is at the top the moon is at the bottom. As we descend, the soul acquires different virtues and limitations as well as attributes such as diligence, intelligence from mercury, subconscious tendencies from the moon, impulses from Mars.

Birth, Death, and Resurrection: Science of the Soul

Christ, astrology, pagans and Sun worship | Gregory Sams Blog

The Sun goes through a cycle in which it is born, matures, reaches its highest point, begins declination, becomes dead in the winter, and resurrects in Spring. The Sun is the macro Soul of man and the journey of the Sun means the interior journey of birth, death, sacrifice, and resurrection from the tomb of matter. This is the esoteric wisdom of the ages. In my way, we see as we live that the trees once luscious and green in the summer become dead in the winter. For the first time, one may think that the trees are forever going to be withered and dead, it is only until we witness the resurrection first hand that we begin to understand the cycles of nature. By observing this intuitively we can come to a space of calm in knowing that so to use shat have renewed life after death in the same way the dead tree and plants are run by the Sun. The inner sun of the spiritual Son of The great spirit in us must resurrect us from our winter.

The Alchemical Lab of the Body

The body is made in a way that if utilized correctly it will naturally ward of illness and mental issues such as the dappening drag feeling we all have. Essentially the human body is a perfect combination of the elements. It is pillar of salt endowed with spirit fire. When the spirit fire is weakened through rapid exhaustion of the energy force, then the physical body becomes weakened, first mentally then physically. If we learn to retain the outgoing impulse and shut down the five sense periodically through mediation we can recharge the body. The body is a battery. Notice that we are electromagnetic beings but we are all wearing rubber shoes. We know that rubber does not conduct electricity therefore we are walking around without being grounded. Here we have three imbalances,

1. We are always seeking and following the outgoing current of the senses. The energy seeks to leave through the 5 senses hence when we watch an emotional movie we may feel tired, or of we are paying attention to a lecture we may become tired, or after physical exertion we become tired. The energy seeks an exit.

2. We are not grounded we are always whare insulated shoes removing our connection to the negative polarity hence causing inflammation within the body.

3. We are not centered in our being. Instead we are identified with our mind and bodies. If we find our center we can identify with the aspect of our self that is unmanifested. By correcting these three aspects we can keep the fire burning within us and the body will naturally become a beacon of health.

Questions One Should Ask One’s Self

1.Have I become athiestic in nature? If so why?

2.Do I meditate on the Supreme being with form or without form?

3. Is the prime creator personal or impersonal or above both?

4. Do I want to taste the fruit or be the fruit?

5. If there is an absolute truth, do I live up to its existemce and relevence in my day to day activities?

6. What existence is possible without the body and mind? Have I personally experienced life and existence beyomd the physical and mental spheres if only for a glimpse?

7. Am I able to wake up consciously while dreaming and have full cognizance in that realm?

8. Does God take personal interest in people and there lifes and aspirations?

9.What lessons can be learned from witnessing the cycle of life in the animal kingdom and the brutal nature of eating other entities to continue life?

10. Am I perfect in all ways or are there imperfections and evil inlcinations laying deep within my own heart?

These are the questions that are important to ask in this age of forgetfulness.

The Truth About Death

In the ancient schools and philosophies it was known that physical embodiment was a death to the soul. The physical body and being entombed in the cross of matter is as much death as the eternal soul can experience. Welcome to the land of the living dead! Do you remember all of those skeleton stories and scary skeleton decorations for halloween? Well it turns out the joke is on us. We are figuratively but ominously literally dead

The truth is, the home of the soul is eternal and splendid and unlimited. We have form there but we are formless and mutable. In the eternal realm we do not have to sit and wait for the bus, we never stub our toes or have to do laborious work. These things are for the land of the dead aka the living human life experience.

Alvin Boyd Kuhn explains this in his book The Lost Keys of the Scriptures that the ancient philosophers and writers of the dramas of the ancient holy books knew it was common knowledge that the word death meant physical incarnation and life ment the life hereafter in the realm of the spirit.

This means that when we became cognizant of life here, when we had our first I Am experience was the day we died and entered the tomb or the realm of the living dead which is why we have skeleton bodies. We are mortal here and have to live by certain limiting laws. This is coming from the perspective and inner knowing that we are eternal and there is no such thing as death such as complete termination of existence, hence only a transition of body form. We should all sit in amazement in awaiting the day we resurrect or leave this realm,our final day here will be our transition into the realm of the living souls.

Here in this realm, the tomb of the soul is the body. This body that was once a tomb for the soul or a cross for the spirit then become a womb for the new resurrected life here after. We have to follow the eternal principles of Birth Death and Sacrifice. This is carried out in our lives as we all have had someone sacrifice themselves for us by taking car of us and we have had to take care of others or sacrifice our desires for other people’s benefits. This is all a form of sacrifice. Here we are also taught about death. As a child we may learn about it through pet or an animal at the side of the road laying motionless. We are born here and know very well about cemeteries and morgues and that everybody dies. Here is the tomb of the soul we are the walking selphters for the inner soul. We need to give birth and become born again to the true life qualities. We need to put to death undesirable conscious elements within our own souls here and now. This is the only realm in existence that the soul can make improvements, and learn certain important lessons to take with it on its life’s journey. It is important to know the soul had to die to manifest here in a womb. This womb we are born is our physical mothers womb. When we were born in the heavenly 7th dimension we had a spiritual womb that produced us. The physical body that is produced here ia a tomb for the soul and the cross we have to bare. If we labor and put to death the inner inhumane elements then we bring to the life the qualities of the soul.

Aries and Leo

The wisdom and reasoning of the father reside in the heart of man. The heart is connected to the one and expresses the qualities of the creator. When the lion and the lamb rest together there will be peace within the temple. Leo the lion which is the symbol of the archetype of the qualities of the heart and the lamb which resides in the cerebrum, the higher mind. Aries which is the first effulgence of magnetism into the electrical world of effects.

When the the mind and the heart work in communion and alignment with the higher purpose resulting in a perfected will. The being is no longer a slave to passions and pleasures and aligns with his or her higher purpose. When the heart blossoms through experiencing and becoming more understanding of love and the love from which they came, one starts to see other a oneself and the illusion of separation is penetrated by the single eye which see things for what they are in unity. Selflessness, forgiveness, compassion, empathy, sacrifice, humor. As above so below for these are the qualities of the father. These qualities are inherent within us as well however they have been numbed and dulled by the material universe and our thoughts of the material universe. Or in particular, certain paradigms which do not align with the sine wave which is the secret of creation according to Walter Russell.

When these qualities are expressed the magnetic frequency of the heart is increased and the electrical energy is raised from Egypt which is below the kidneys,up into the heart and up from there to the high heavens or the head which is heaved upon the temple. Clear understandings of universal truths are then understood for what they are, the individual shifts from thinking to a state of knowing. The left and right hemispheres are balanced as the energy was allowed to cross from the left hemisphere to the right. The red sea has been crossed and the faculties of wisdom and reason are now restored to their original state. Synchronicities in the outer world reflect back onto the individual messages, reassurances, and initiations serve as guide post for the individual to gradually meander into the place where one can serve in there highest expression of qualities of there inherent gifts in which one gives back to nature in a symbiotic relationship for one then realizes that one is not separate from nature.

The passions of the heart have to be directed by the The higher mind or the cerebrum. The cerebrum is the physical manifestation of the higher faculties of the soul. The logical materialistic analytical dead mind must be enlivened with the live of truth that emanates in the cauldron of the heart. It is interesting to note that Aries and Leo are both fire signs. The fires of the heart must be transmuted into the brain by observing our emotions and passions and translating them into love through comprehension.The higher mind is what comprehends.

The heart center is our deep soul emotions ad is feminine in nature while our mind is masculine and in the realm of thought. The relationship between the mind and heart and finding equilibrium between these two centers is one of the main pursuits of occult science. This is the marriage of the bride groom with the bride which is the soul. The union of opposites creates the hexagram. We need to be able to observe our emotions and transform them into their divine counterpart. For example, if we are feeling a feeling of jealousy for what another has we should be able to use our mind to stop and observe and reflect on these feelings and comprehend it is coming formt he material limited ego and the not the immortal soul. In this way you are bale t shift perception and transmute the emotion. This is how we can tam eour passionate lion heart and transform it into the conquering lion of the tribe of Judah, when we can stop with our will and our inner witness which is krishna him self to not act or dwell in dilutions from emotions, we can distill them and color them off in the throat chakra if we simply breath them up and over our head this process cools down the fires and soon when the storm has stilled the heart truth will speak clearly and the mind can go back to its normal doings. This process this relationship takes place on very subtle levels.

Conscious Will: Mysteries of the Pentagram

Conscious will is what we have at our center of our being. If the body is represented by earth, emotions by water, mind by air, impulse by fire, then will power would be of the 5th element the spirit. The spirit is able to dominate the 4 inferior elements. If we are weak in will then we are thrown around by the 4 elements. By getting over inflamed with fire and anger, we become melancholy and emotionally unstable when our water element is out of balance. We become unable to concentrate and utilize thought if our wind element is out of balance. We need to purify the elements and bring them under our conscious will.This is the symbol of the upright pentagram. We as human beings have conscious will and are able to go against our impulses. This is the true meaning of being a Jew. Someone who does not act in animal impulses but transmutes them. An Israelite is one who is working with will power and started the process transmuting the animal nature. Living an upright life is what the pentagram is trying to teach us.

The 4 elements are are guarded and prices by the elementals. The elementals are the gnomes, the sylphs, the slamaders, and the undines. These are the 4 elements. Gnomes rule over the earth and the plants and minerals. Thesy take care of our physical self in regards to our nervous system. They help us maintain our physicality and help distribute minerals within the body. They are in charge of taking care of plants and producing fruit. The magician or alchemist wants to be in a dominate position to the gnomes.The gnomes are neither good nor bad but innocent creatures of the elemental kingdom. They are hard workers and symbolize labor, work, and charity. When we become lazy and slothful the Gnomes polarize against us and then things to not go well practically in our life. We forget to put gas in the car, we are late for work, we are unsteady with our practice. When we start to do our duties and take care of the physical aspects of life consciously the Gnomes are pleased and help us, things go well, we arrive early and new opportunities arise for us. We will be talking extensively about the the 3 other elementals and how they apply to us in upcoming articles.
