The Ancient Religion of Astrotheology and the Secret of Light

In Ancient times mankind used the sky and the celestials as a reference for the seasons and the ebb and flow of the year and entire history. The 12 zodiac were symbols overlayed and configured using the stars in the heavens in certain areas based on the sun. The sun is the source of the influence. The sun is the physical life giver, nourishes all things as well as creates winter and darkness by its absence. and the sea the areas of those influences. When the sun is in March it gives off the cardinal energy of Aries regardless of that sign appearing because the signs simply mark the energy zones in which the sun passes through and give off its influence.When the sun is in Taurus it gives off a fixed energy which is more refined and sustains, while in gemini it is mutable which means apt to change.

Some people say man lives in the realm of duality this is true however this duality is 12 modifications of light energy that we know as the 12 zodiac zodiac. In the ancient stories we have the number 12 appearing in the bible, both the old and New Testaments, as well as Hercules and the 12 labors, it is known that man has 12 cranial nerves in his head and 12 different systems in the body. The ancients knew that heaven was a reflection of that which is within man’s mind and that man’s mind was a part and parcel of God’s mind, because of this they knew that the 12 zodiacs corresponded to the 12 systems in the body, the skeletal system, the digestive system, the cerebral spinal system, the nervous system and so on. With man being as the microcosm as the hermetics say , as above so below as within so without and that man is the measure of the universe , so man when studied is a book or a script that is played out. The script of the heaves is played out in the actions and events of man kind.

The Sun is the hero. In ancient Egypt, the Sun god was known as heru. Now we call it a hero. The hero of the story is always the sun personified. The sun is not just a physical body of energy but like mankind has a mind and spirit. The sun is the physical manifestation of the unseen power and omnipotence of God. In the bible, this spirit which is intelligent, personal, omnipotent, and all-knowing takes on the character of Jesus Christ. The life of Jesus is a personification of the Sun and its journey through the 12 zodiacs. The sun’s journey through the 12 zodiacs is the physical manifestation of unseen light and is a manual for mankind to read and understand the deepest goals of life.

Mastering the 4 Elements

In this reality, we know that the 4 elements plus ether make up all things in existence. The 4 elements are all modifications of the Aether or the 5th element. The 5th element is the blue color that you see cover mountains at a distance or even buildings. The ether is the most subtle of the elements and produces the other 4 elements.

From the moSt Subtle. Aether, Fire, Air, Water, and Earth are the densest. Our bodies are made up of these 4 elements. We have most of our body made up of water, the earth is the skin and the bones, the air is the perspiration, the fire is the electrical impulses within and the aether or the spirit is the mind or the inner space within.

The Bible is translated from greek and is full of Greek mythology or greek mysteries. The greeks knew the axiom as above so below as within so without and knew that the physical elements were literal dense phenomena that were metaphors for more subtle psychological aspects. The fire was the impulses, the wind the mind and the thoughts, water the chemistry of the body, emotions, and the astral matrix of our being. The elements take on a form and life of their own when we dive into the mysteries of Parecleseus who knew that the entire universe was populated with myriads of beings allrepsinsisble for the elemental changes that occur all around us. To master one’s self-approach we have to organize our inner universe, we have to master the 4 elements within. We start with the embodying of our inner earth not just our body but the state of our mind, our labors, our daily routine, our physical health, and how we manage ourselves in these physical dimensions. This is part of the work is ruled by the Earth Spirits Parcelsusues knew thek as gnomes. If we master our labors, do our work diligently, and maintain a healthy routine then the gnomes will be pleased with us and help us with our tasks but if we become lazy then they will rule over our habits and make us lethargic and lazy.

When we purify our Earth element we are directing our everything physical about us, everything practical, and all things to do with the body. We should take up a reasonable exercise routine, and we should make sure that we are on a diet that is nourishing us with all the proper vitamins ad minerals, and energy for the work. The great work of Self transformationSelf-transformation is not just. spiritual or metal taste but is rooted in the physical body. To awaken the astral body and begin organizing our waters or Astral kingdom, we have to purify and organize our Earth elements. We should find a vocation or something of daily labor that will keep one foot rooted in the physical realm while we dive into our practices. The labor should bring joy and a sense of fulfillment. We should not abandon our duties until the Inner I Am instructs us. We have to get in touch with the inner Magical voice but to be guided by it was have to put the elements of our Psyche in order and purify them, and organize them.

The second level of consciousness is water. John the basis in the more rainy months when the days are short and rain is large quantities we are being baptized by John the Baptist. The Age of Aquarius is the symbol of this occurrence in the heavens. John the baptist says I am not worthy to unbuckle the sandals of the one who comes after me this is a reference to Pisces which neighbors Aquarius, who’s element is water and rules the feet of man anatomically. for he baptizes with fire and the holy spirit. Each character in the epoch relates to an inner being of consciousness , an archetypal persona that takes place at certain places during the inner work. The bible dramatizes and personifies these elements. From John the baptist we are lifted into the water element and our physical earthly nature is purified by water in preparation for the one who is the Christ who comes after John the Babtist and baptizes with fire and the holy spirit. Thisi is how the story goes form one element of consciousness to the next from one character role to the next as we ascend in states of consciousness from Earth to Water, to air to Fire then Spirit in th alchemical conquest of self realization.

Consciousness and Awareness as Two Distinct States of Being

Awaken Consciousness



Here are some things to ponder

You can live unconsciously

You have dreams and do things without consciousness

You at your base state are pure awareness

You are at your highest state you are pure conscious Awareness 

 From awareness, awareness consciousnesses are born

Through consciousness, you can increase your awareness

The merging and rounding out of both consciousness and awareness is what gives birth to superconsciousness.

A worm is aware but does not have much consciousness

consousunesness is the light-bringer and we can turn our consciousness, whatever amount we have to shine it on our eternal permanent awareness.

IN this way the awareness feeds the consciousness, increasing it.

ONce increased consciousness can be taken to the realm of dreams and one can have conscious experiences rather than uncsnoisu n experiences.

All consciousness must be increased and accumulated during the waking state.

Consiosune awareness uses human faculties of self-reflection i\unlike other creatures here, we take our consciousness and shine it on our awareness, our being, creating inner stillness, and immovable equilibrium.



Technique as Taught by the Taoist Masters: Turning the Light Around Daily

Take your attention and place it on your breath, then take your consciousness and become consistent with the awareness that is aware of the breath.

Watch yourself until no thought exists. Do this by watching your train of thought but not getting involved in them. Watch yourself intill no thought exists except the pure awareness even behind the witness.

This technique transmutes energies that are normally extended outward toward the external world. The 5 senses act as spotlights for the sadness to shine upon surfaces of the material realm. 

Instead of fantasizing about future scenarios or past scenarios the, and is turned upon the indwelling self and is stilled by the pure witness or the one that is aware that is in no way manifest on the physical plane but is the spiritual unmanifest atom or higher individuality or soul ego.

Alchemy: The Royal Science of Self Transformation

The 12 labors of Hercules are symbols, of the trials and initiations of the Soul as it incarnates into the physical dimension. Hercules is the Sun as the Sun voyages through the 12 signs it is said to triumph or conquer them. At certain times during the year, the Sun seems to be conquered by the forces of darkness. This is played out in our individual lives when we are tempted by our desire and fall into them. We lose the bliss of Spring. Spring always is a symbol of bliss and happiness and fertility. These forces can be awakened and renewed in each individual, Each individual is a microcosm of the macrocosm. The 12 labors of Hercules, as well as the 12 apostles, relate to inner soul qualities that are activated through our life.

The 12 stages of initiation are each attributed to an alchemical change within. The 12 stages are also accompanied by 7 phases. 12 and 7 are the key numbers. 12 is God or creator, the intelligence, 7 is the force, the creations the perfection or emanation of the 12


Aries rules Calcination, this is the process of purification through fire. A metal or substance is heated up to a high temperature without melting it. This is used to purify the material and remove impurities through a subtle flame. This happens to us when we become aware of the constant inner fire of consciousness. This inner I Am is the power of Aries, the individuality of the Soul. It is the first that emanates from the Father it is cardinal fire. When we become aware that we are a soul inside of a body and become aware of our true self, then we begin the calcination process.
The second Alchemical process is Coagulation. Coagulation is ruled by the zodiac sign Taurus. When our consciousness is refined, we are completely identified with the eternal self. This inner awareness becomes unmistakable and unshakable. Taurus is the bull we become firm in our self-knowledge. Aries is I AM and Taurus is I have. We become aware of the inner word within and that every word we emanate is an act of creation. The air is the masculine spirit the throat is feminine. This is is why the throat resembles the female sexual organ. With Taurus we become fixed in our consciousness we no longer identify with the body. As Hercules goes through the labors he initiates changes within. The soul qualities are awakened. Each quality is like a petal on a flower. The heart chakra has 12 petals. Once each one is awakened and we regain our inner qualities. Each of the 12 qualities is related to a cranial nerve. The 12 nerves regulate the 12 processes of the body, there are 12 systems each in are refined and perfected through the great work of alchemy.

Fixation is the third alchemical process within and is ruled by Gemini.
This occurs when a metal or substance is transformed into an uncomputable form. The heat was applied in calcination and coagulation. Taurus finally creates a perfected form. This process is ruled by Gemini the human or adam Kadmon the perfect man or woman. This is when the inner change begins to manifest in our actions and our outer world rather than just within. We begin to separate the observer form the observed. We see life form the third person perspective and begin to practice the art of self observation. This allows us to have a crystallized personal center of consciousness that is no longer distributed among the mechanical modes of the mind.

The 4th Stage of the Alchemical Process is Ruled by cancer and is called dissolution. Similar to the Crab. withdrawing into its shell we begin to withdraw from the external world and go within. This is where we begin to have inner experiences in the astral plane and begin to awaken our composure on the inner planes of existence. Normally we are so to living our life with our senses pointing outward and our outer realities. Cancer is ruled by the moon is our intuition and our imagination, When this becomes activated we become awakened in the astral plane. Once we are here we can begin purifying our subconscious minds and receiving guidance format the inner planes that hero points us in the right direction.

The 5th Stage of the Alchemical Process is Ruled By Leo the Lion. This phase is related to Digestion. Leo is the will of the being. Through this stage of the Alchemical process, one masters the will and utilizes it to overcome the lion. The lion is tamed and one becomes a king or queen of the inner kingdom. We will be further discussing this process in a future post.

The 4 States of Consiousness

The Greeks knew about the 4 states of consciousness. The bible is based of Greek and Eastern Mysticism. It speaks in code and is symbolic in nature. They designated different levels of consciousness to the 4 elements. The 4 Tattvas of the Eastern Wisdom and the Gods of the elements are well known throughout all traditions. The bible is an alchemical spitual manual that shows how humans go through spiritual evolution into different states of consciousness.

Earth , Alpha ,Body

Water, beta, Emotions

Air, theta, Thoughts

Fire ,Delta , Will

These are the states of consciousness we go through when we are alert and wake we are in alpha and beta, when we are in the flow of thought and disengage from conscious task and go on auto pilot we enter theta, delta is deep sleep. Different levels of information can be retrieved from these different levels of consciousness. The yogi or mage can put his or her self in these states of consciousness at will. Mediation gives us access to these slower rates of consciousness, deep sleep delta being the slowest brain waves.

The bible goes deep into the deeper layers of consciousness using the elements as an allegory for the states of consciousness.

We see Jesus walking on water, or saying to meet me in the clouds or the air level of consciousness. This is when we access the silent mind. John the Baptist says , “I baptize with you water but the one whose shoes I am unworthy to unbuckle baptizes with fire and the holy spirit” in reference to smaadi or the highest state of consciousness bring the deepless state to the waking state. We meet Jesus “coming in the clouds”. This is all allegory referencing the different levels of consciousness we can reach.

It is good to go to sleep with a question in mind or a problem to solve and allow the the theta mind set to free flow thoughts and ideas. We can enter this state through relaxation and rhythmic breathing. We enter the vigil state which is right before we fall asleep. We can utilize this state of consciousness for spiritual insight as long as we have intention dn are aware and receptive to what we are seeking.

The Three States of Consciousness

Adi Shankara Quote: The witness of the three states of co...

Waking, dreaming , and deep sleep. We the witnesses are beyond these states of consciousness. We have participated in them sense we got our first taste of I am here in incarnation. If we become diligent during the times of sleeping and waking we can get a glimpse of the the one who participates in these states of being. The three states are separate from the one who experiences them. We need to separate these three states of consciousness and recombine them this so the work.of the yogi or alchemist.

We do this by first bringing full awareness and becoming totally awake during the waking period of consciousness. That means remembering oneself from moment to moment and not falling into fantasy or daydreaming or getting lost in train of thought. Through constant practice of self awareness and mediation we can become fully aware and have an unbroken stream of consciousness during the waking state.

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 Work of the Magi

WE HAVE TO CONSECRATE THE FOUR ELEMENTS OF OUR BEING.

WE NEED TO SOLIDIFY AND FIX OUR EARTH WHICH IS OUR MINDS AND BODY THROUGH VARIOUS DISCIPLINES AND DEVOTIONS LABORS ETC  LIFE’S A SCHOOL !!

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 soul can walk upon the waters of life as long as we balance our emotions! 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.
