Our body and our mind is the earth that we need to balance and put to good practical use and make strong healthy. Through routines and exercise as well as a prominent soul connection to one’s vocation. Sacrificing the efforts and labors to the great Spirit.

Our emotions and our relationships with one another other represents our water , our imagination and dreams, are receptive in nature. We can balance our water element and calm the waters and triumph through various methods that evoke the water elementals to assist us in mastering this element.

Esoteric Astrology

Astrology has traditionally been used for much more than fortune telling, the bible does not condemn Astrology in fact it condemns astrologers or people who worships material objects or those who want to use the science of the word of God to tell fortunes for material gain. Astrology is the science of the word of God, astro meaning light and logos meaning word so the study of the word of god or of Christ. Astrology is deeply connected to our inner life as well as our physical body, Aries rules the head, Taurus rules the neck, Gemini the arms and lungs, the crab rules the breast, leo the heart,virgo the digestive system, libra rules the kidneys, and scorpio the generative system, sagittarius rules the hips, capricorn rules the knee caps, aquarius rules the shins and finally the two fish pisces at the bottom of the feet.

The ancients seers sand elevated beings who were in contact with the great spirit knew that the body was a microcosm of the macorosmom that means that it was an individuated parcel of a greater whole. That whole reflects its image through the material creation and we perceive it as the celestial heavens above. The world below being matter and the sky being the closest image we have of the spirit realm hence why most religions use heavens and the sky to represent the spiritual realm.

Astrology is the map of the mind of god. The 12 zodiac relay how energy manifest in the material realm, how a thought is conceived and acted upon, how the seasons change from spring to winter, and how the soul descends and re ascends out of the material universe and back to the realm of causes.

Astrology is also the key to the unfoldment of the the archetypes of the soul and how the seer unfolds his inner being through the 12 labors of Hercules. Hercules represents the archetype of the soul that relates to the soul that is in a human journey or physically incarnated in the material realm and thus has to learn from trial and circumstance to overcome and triumph and become victorious.

We can use astrology practically to acknowledge our defects as well as where we are gifted and unique. An Aries can serve as a brilliant leader or power exorcist. The cardinal fire energy creates impulsiveness and an inner courage to act with much forethought. This can be great to tread to solve problems where most will not. Aries rules the cerebrum is shaped like a lambs wool and governs the nervous system. It is the builder of the body and where Hiram the chief architect resides. The builder of Solomon’s temple which is the human body. . The first formed as a fetus, The sun starts its journey March 21s in Aries and commences at the feet pisces. Aries forms our identity. Its motto is I am.

When consciousness first manifested from the pleroma it acknowledged its self as I AM this is Aries. Aries is our inner father who art in heaven which dominates the lower nature. Aries sign is in the spring so it is considered the child of the zodiac along with taurus and Gemini. The planet that rules Aries is Mars which is red Adam who was formed from the dust of the Earth.

Aries in a daily cycle starts at 6 am, when the rooster crows. The rooster is a symbol of Aries as the sun rises the rooster is the first to make a noise. Aries is Moses which is an archetype of Will power, Moses blows the rams horns and tells us to stop worshipping the Golden calf of taurus. The ages go retrograde essentially Moses represents the Sun entering the Age of Aries and leaving the Age of Taurus. At the same time this symbolizing man overcoming his lower nature and ascending the lower instinctual energy and consciously transmuting it through will power in to more subtle bliss and cognizant. This cognizance allows one to hear the the ten inner commandments of the heart .

With the help of Taurus we are able to express word sand use tp use our body to do labor and world, The bull has always been a symbol of labor and material gain. It is said that Taurus’s motto is I have. It is our ability to have desires. Taurus is our motor brain the cerebellum. The cerebellum is the bull in esoteric anatomy. The cerebellum is in charge of it modulating and commanding the motor neurons to allow for shifts in body position or changes in load upon muscles hence the cerebellum is the physical manifestation of the zodiac energy of Taurus in the material human body.

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.

Abide in the Essence and Stop Suffering

The essence is the the true self that connects into the physical material realm. The essence is innocent and is the spiritual seed or spark that descends from the causal realm. The essence is what notices when we get distracted.
The essence is what we can hold to to annihilate thoughts.
If we pay attention and get wrapped up in every little thought every little desire there will be no end to it. The essence is bottled up in what are called egos. Ouspensky the great mystic taught that the essence it trapped in egos which are multiplistic aspects of the physical creature that works mechanically. The egos are created through identification of the body and its programmed desires. The goal of man is to overcome these mechanical programs and unlock full control of the physical body and mind. Remember , you’re not the body or the mind, You’re the essence that uses the mind which controls the body.

We need to ascend to the the third level of consciousness and become what is called an airhead. This state of consciousness is above past and present thinking it simply exist in bliss. This is where the essence resides. IN the grreek esoteric school sman was separated into 4 states of consciousness. earth, water, air and fire.

We need not fret for yesterday or tomorrow for tomorrow will be taken care of when it is today. Abide in the essence and be free. The essence is outside of the three modes of consciousness. We are in waking state, then we go to the dream state, and finally the dreamless unconscious states. These are the three modes of consciousness. The essence, or the witness is the weather or observer. Once we identify with the witness that sustains our being we are no longer distracted or attracted to the material modes of nature.

We can effortlessly abide in the essence by practicing self remembering. We do this by watching our thoughts, feeling and reactions throughout the day in the waking state while remembering we are spirit and not the body. The waking state is the only state we can use the intellect to make decisions. Once we go to sleep we go to the the dream realm which is a reflection of the waking state. Usually we do not have full conscious discrimination in the dream world until we have fully awakened consciousness in the waking state. Every day when we wake up we can abide in the essence as long as possible. While we are doing our morning routine,going to work, or at home after work we can abide in the essence and watch ourselves. We have to watch the mechanical nature of the material realm. The body and mind do things but we the witness does not do anything.

Indian saints have said we are not the doer. Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita says that the soul or essence is not slain when the body is slain therefore the witness is always protected. In fact, the part of you that is you is not embodied, it is unmanifested and appears to be in the body. We are essentially bluetoothed wirelessly connected otot the body. When the essence projects into the body it feels the sense of I AM and starts going about activities. Sometimes our activities are of goodness, kind, non pleasure seeking but simply bestowing and receiving in goodness. We have our passionate mode that is full of desires, sensation seeking, passionate and full of emotions such as anger or pride this is rajas or our passionate mode. Finally we have tamas which is our ignorant state, of wrath, laziness, lethargic, daydreaming unaware mode of consciousness. The essence that is us and is the basis of our witness is not perturbed by the 3 modes of nature, waking, dreaming, and sleeping, but is simply aware and watching the happenings. The major problem in life is to identify with the body. We are the spirit souls, fractals of the prime creator. Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita I am the witness. Krishna is the witness within us, our being is sustained by the supreme being which watched over all creation.

The Logos

The prime creator is both one and the many! The logos manifest as the whole in the multiplicity. This is why Elohim is Plural for male and female gods and goddesses, and the hindu pantheon is so versatile. This is monotheistic polytheism at its finest.

We are all voices of the one. The father is the stillness then the first motion produces a vibration, a wave which is the mother or eve. This creates a sine wave and that sine wave is what allows us to experience this reality here and now. As we our now children of the light we are part of the many but the one is within us. Jesus said He and the father are one The father in me and I in you. It is talking about the layers of the soul the garments.

We all come from the same cause, we are the effects of the one cause and therefore we have similar archetypal patterns and experience in life throughout the ages. This Is why we find so much in common with other people aside from certain variations. Yes, we all have our very own separate individuality but we also have a part of us that is fundamentally the same as everyone else. God appears as many different forms and many different names in many different cultures and provides many different customs, this is all fine. The universal mind is always working and providing,it is the great spirit supreme The Logos in connected with Kether Chokmah and BInah of the Tree of LIfe. KEther manifest as the Ancient of Days. He is said to be an ancient man with white hair, thousand of locks, and a beard. Eyes that never close and is always watching over the entire creation. The description is anagogical and if we know that everything below is like that above then we can take the microcosm old man we have here on earth and make is bigger and eternal and huge and place him in the transcendental plane so we can get some experience or insight of the benefic Ancient of Days the eternal being that never was born and never dies, who never sleeps and always watches.

Father Wisdom and Mother Love

Ramakrishna mentioned that the impersonal God is the father and the personal God is the mother. When we use the hermetic principle as above so below we can make sense of this.

Fathers are taking care of the back ends of life, they are distant from home, he cares dearly but focuses on duties to provide for the family. The mother is personally involved in all of our life aspects. The mother nurtures us, takes care of us, and the Father guides us and supports us while the mother is deeply involved in the children’s lives in school and at home.

A father is more likely to be aloof and take a more impersonal approach when disciplining the children while the mother favors the sick child and shows more mercy hence she is personal.

The universal father and mother are what generate us as souls and sons (small suns) of ELOHIM which translates to Gods and Goddesses or the masculine and female expressions of the being which is a neutral being. The sun and the moon. The sky and the Earth, movement and rest, love and wisdom, all function due to these universal polarities that spring forth from the bosom of the prime creator.

This is why life is always teaching us lessons, nourishing us, keeping us warm, and giving us ideas and aspirations. We acquire these forms from nature our mother.

Ramakrishna said, ” Purusha and Prakriti. Whatever you perceive in the universe is the outcome of this union. Take the image of Shiva and Kali. Kali stands on the bosom of Shiva; Shiva lies on the ground like a corpse. Prakriti performs all Her activities in conjunction with Purusha. Thus She creates, preserves, and destroys. That is also the meaning of the conjoined images of Radha and Krishna. On account of that union, again, the images are slightly inclined toward each other.

‘1 Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered and founded Christian Science, uses the term Father-Mother for God, not to change His nature but to describe it more meaningfully. This term shows that divine nature includes qualities we associate with both fatherhood and motherhood, such as wisdom and love.

Mary, Mary Magdalene, The divine Mother appears to us directly through Magnetism hence Mary Magdalene, this intelligent loving force keeps everything in form and the bosom of creation. The mother is impregnated with the spirit of the father and produces entities. We have been taught that we live in a nihilistic universe of luck and that all things are created by no one and for nothing. The truth is the Divine Mother and Father are always there guiding us from within. Our mother weeps when we stray from our consciousness. The still small voice of the father in secret that we paid attention to as children. This voice emanates physically from the cerebrum cerebrumcerebrum. The father Ram God. Rama was the incarnation of Vishnu and was a good house holderhouseholder. These divine archetypes are not only unintelligenceligences intelligence outside of us but in us in the internal realms as well as in the human body. The divine mother Mary Magdalene appears in the brain as the amygdala The names are the same. What is the Amygdala though? The amygdala is a component of the limbic system and affects our emotions and behavior of ourselves. It is best known for its role in the processing of fear.

The father is enthroned in our cranium and instructs us. He is our inner Father who art in heaven. It is well known the glands of the human body and inner functions were deified. The ancients knew that these appearances were a manifestation of intelligent forces, crystallized and put into motion in the realm of the material.

Methods to Silence the Mind and Enter into the Higher Realms of Thought.

Between the eyebrows slightly glance there at that point.

When the latter is combined with the tongue being held at the roof of the mouth the body’s electrical circuit is completed and allows it to flow normally. Babies always have their tonnage resting at the pallets behind the two front teeth. This automatically puts your chattery mind to silence, and combined with the focus using the horizon as a gaze point will instantly put you into self-knowledge.

By combining these two methods one turns the body into an alchemical laboratory for transformation. Meditation should be done with the eyes slightly inwards between the brow without causing any tension with the eyes, the tongue should be behind the front teeth and the breath should be calm and rhythmic, breathing from the belly.

At the bottom of the spine is the sacrum, 5 fused bones that work like a pump. If you breathe from the belly and complete the electrical circuit the energy that accumulates in the lower sexual centers gets transmuted and sublimated into more refined energy. Sexual energy is the fuel to complete the process. If you only do the breathing with the eye gazing you will experience benefits but the intended purpose was to transform the instinctual raw energy into spirit and inspiration!

Aries the lamb of God resides in the cerebrum and we can tap into this force, which is Hiram Abiff the chief architect of the temple which is the human body. We need to become Masons or bread Cookers. Mason means cooked fish. We must cook our fish and become Mason. The fish is the sexual energy. By retaining it we raise our temperatures and cook the fish or the semen. The cerebral spinal system is the first in the anatomy that is formed and has the blueprint and building capability that forms the entire body. So in the same way this force is the conductor, the master of the inner faculties. The mysteries of nature are found in the spinal column and central nervous system. We can control animal nature by exercising this part of our brain. By looking into this point and putting our focus here on the presence of our being we begin to grow in light and comprehension.

The final technique that can be combined with the above is the Mona Lisa smile. This is an ancient technique. The wisdom has been passed down through art. Mantak Chia also has a lot of work on what is called the inner smile. The Mona Lisa’s smile is as follows. While meditating, looking between the eyebrows, with the tongue at the roof of the mouth, form a slight smile, smile ever so slightly that someone would hardly notice. Feel that by doing this you are opening up and loosening the muscles in the middle of the head, you can feel this in the same way you feel as if you were trying to move your ears. This smile opens up the energy center and allows it to travel into the body. The power of smiling. By combining all of these techniques with a peaceful heart and mind you can enter the supreme abodes. It sounds like a lot but with practice, you will surely be able to combine them and you will see that they fit together like a puzzle.

Life is a place of wonder. The material realm is the negative polarity of spirit which is unmanifested. We as spirit souls, (individual parts, fractals, aka children of the Monad or first principle the stillness. descended and crystalized into the matter to individualize. We individualize by minimizing the unconscious animal soul aspects that are the effect of the entropic forces of the negative polarity. Here we have attraction and repulsion hot and cold, and division of the two genders so that we may learn The knowledge of good and evil. Essentially here we are to learn what we are as opposed to what we are not.
