Occasionally something happens in life that most would consider a miracle. These events are awesome and fearsome displays of physical power and endurance that seem superhuman to us or unnatural.

The mother that lifts a car to save a child is one type of this experience. In this type of experience thought does not enter. There is only the child and the need to save the child.

There are variations of this where people are saved from drowning or from burning buildings. In each variation people risk their own life and health without thought of personal safety. Their concern is totally focused on the person they need to save.

Another type of miracle is the “berserker rage” where some invincible power comes upon a person in the middle of a fight or battle. Such warriors were thought to be touched by the gods and unbeatable in battle. They are able to overwhelm the opposition with the fury of their attack.

A variation of this is anytime a person gets their way by overwhelming all opposition through force of personality. These people are so sure of themselves that they never doubt or think about whether they are right or not. The thought never crosses their mind and they are very difficult to stop. They know they are right and that rightness fuels their actions.

Some institutionalized people with mental and/or emotional disorders show another type of miracle. At times these people can perform feats of superhuman strength like kicking out a 10 foot high window, ripping leather work shoes apart barehanded, and taking plumbing fixtures off walls without tools.

Others can perform strange feats of cunning like picking locks or knowing the birthdays of hundreds of people and not even be able to dress themselves. These are the idiot savants.

Somehow these otherwise handicapped individuals are able to focus effort and will long enough and with enough force to perform things we think of as superhuman.

Still another type of miracle is the type of performance expressed by professional athletes and martial artists. The martial artist can break blocks of wood or bricks bare handed by striking them in a special way with a special force.

The Olympic athlete is continuously breaking new records in what it is possible for the human body to achieve. They are constantly doing what has never been done before.

These people repeat a series of actions over and over until the action is automatic. The body performs the action without conscious thought and awareness or rather by a special type of awareness and focus that has been developed.

What do all of these “miracles” have in common?

They all exhibit some type of action we consider superhuman, some superhuman strength, stamina, agility or resourcefulness. In each case the action is performed without conscious thought or awareness but instead with a type of instinctive body awareness. In each case there is a terrific intent and focus of energies toward a very specific goal. This is an unthinking focus.

In these actions the entire being is directed into the physical activity. Nothing is held back. There is no room for doubt or hesitation of any kind.

From this we learn it is possible to perform physical action without conscious thought. Driving a car might be one example and doing our job might be another. These are tasks become so routine our body does them without our full attention or awareness. The behavior becomes automatic for us.

To achieve a physical goal we not only physically perform the needed actions but we perform those actions until they become automatic for us. We perform the physical actions automatically without even thinking about them.

Proper habits and behaviors will lead us toward our goal even when we are not thinking about our goal. When the brain shuts down training takes over. Become trained and then stop thinking and let our training carry us through to the final goal.

Be tightly focused toward one goal and only one goal at a time. Master one skill until it becomes automatic and only then attempt to master another skill. Energy and efforts must not be diverted but contained. At the very least have separate distinct efforts and actions for each goal and keep these efforts and actions separate from each other.

Finish what we start and put closure on those things we have finished. If there are three things to do, the proper technique is to concentrate only on one action and bring that action to some type of closure. Only then go to the next action and concentrate exclusively on that physical action and bring it to some type of closure.

As an example one hour of the day might be reserved exclusively for making business calls. Another hour might be reserved for reading and answering incoming mail. Yet another couple hours might be spent on project development and design.

By doing only one physical action and skill at a time and bringing each to a proper closure a miraculous amount of work can be accomplished in a short period of time with a minimum of wasted time and energy. If a person writes three pages of a book every day they will have written three books in a year’s time.

If a person writes twenty pages one day and five the next and nothing else for a week no momentum is built up and each effort to restart takes added effort and energy. The person without momentum and habit will rarely accomplish the goals they want because they never have enough time or energy to work toward those goals.

The last factor toward achieving miracles is to put everything we have into what we are doing. Believe intensely and follow through until a conclusion is reached. No halfway or halfhearted measures will ever work. Put everything into the achievement of our goal.

By keeping these things in mind we can achieve miracles in our own lives. List those goals that we believe in and resolve to achieve them.

Resolve to a course of physical action that will lead to the achievement of our goal. By breaking each action down into small specific physical tasks and setting aside a specific time for doing these tasks they will get done in a timely manner. We train to do what needs to be done. Then we let ourselves do it.

Last break away from each task after the allotted amount of time and bring a closure to concentrate totally on the next task. In doing a task our full effort must be on the accomplishment of that task. We should not be thinking about some other task. Be tightly focused on each goal and give that goal everything while working on it. When we are done with it we leave it completely.

If we have several goals we must make certain a portion of each day or each week is devoted toward the achievement of that goal and a momentum established. These actions must become habit.

Time must be made and set aside for family and social life. Each week include a social activity and a family activity that is planned and followed through on. Good intentions do not count, only physical actions count. Time must be made and set aside for hobbies and special interests.

It must become habitual and automatic to devote time and energy toward each goal in life. Work is not the time to think of family and don’t bring work home to family. All of these goals must be attended to separately and habitually until life and success become automatic to us. Our entire life can become a miracle.

Early posts explained the basic science fundamentals used in the O. A. K. matrix . It would have been nice to leave the science aspect out altogether but it is even more important to understand the foundation that this system is grounded on in case questions arise.

And questions will arise! There is method to my madness as I will now proceed to trash a lot of current thinking about metaphysics. We will begin with the concept of a photon driven energy system in the center of the universe that is constantly pumping or “injecting” new photons into the universe and forcing the “old” photons to evolve into new forms of energy.

This is evolution pure and simple. The concept has been around for a long time but the process has to the best of my knowledge never been explained as well as with chaos theory. It shows a natural progression and a unity that ties the entire universe together.

Some may find the assumption that the photon is “alive” and “aware” in its own way offensive. Especially when “life” and “awareness” is compared to the “life” and “awareness” of a computer. When the power is “on” the computer is “alive” and “aware”. When the computer is “off” it is dead and there is no awareness. Anyone that really listens to some “coffee shop” conversations could argue that a computer is more “alive” and “aware” than some of the people in the coffee shop.

The important point here is that awareness constantly grows and expands into higher and more complex forms. It doesn’t really matter how it began. What matters is how it is structured. One thought is hooked to the next thought is hooked to the next thought as surely as one line of a computer program is connected to the next line. In humans though we call it “flow of consciousness”. In computers we call it programming.

The evidence as I see it suggests that reincarnation is a requirement. Human awareness was at one time photon awareness. We are “old” photons. As new photons are injected into the universe human awareness is forced to expand into new forms of life and awareness, in this case into new human bodies.

A million years from now we will still be reincarnating into new physical bodies. There is no escape from the “wheel of life and death”, nor should there be. Our personal heavens and hells will be experienced here physically. It’s time we faced up to our obligations to live responsibly and make the world a decent place to live!

As far as I know the idea of life forms and the earth itself being a huge “resonant” circuit is a fairly new one that is very obvious when you think about it. Auras and astral bodies have long been associated with the magnetic field around the body. Magnetic fields are by definition “inductive” and the physical body is obviously capacitive in nature both storing and discharging energy as well as generating it.

The “tank” current within “resonant” circuit is almost unlimited and easily fulfills the definition of “life force”. In addition a “resonant” circuit attempts to maintain itself. It “tries” to stay “alive”. This is a perfect explanation that transfers itself easily to human life and all life once we rid ourselves of the notion that “human” life is somehow more special than other forms of life.

When we consider the earth as a huge “resonant” circuit our image of the “ASTRAL PLANES” is radically altered. For one thing a tremendous “tank” current is flowing at all times through the astral planes that is compelling specific physical events. Human life and human events are of almost no importance when seen from the earth’s “long” view.

When we consider that there are 118 astral layers, one for each element it is easy to get confused and to prefer some “occult” tradition that says there is seven or eight or nine…ect. Others have suggested that there is an astral layer for every element but I have never seen a listing as in chapter eight where you can look at the characteristics of an element and try to determine what that element’s astral energy would be like.

It is apparent that the Kabalistic Sephiroth correspond to the seven noble gases, hydrogen, magnetic vortex energy, and the photon or light itself. The twenty-two paths of the Kabala correspond to the incomplete electron shells of the other elements. The Sephiroth are said to reflect objective experiences and the paths to reflect subjective experiences.

Mapping the astral planes in this way exposes new information about them. It becomes obvious that the earth’s astral planes would be totally empty if they could be. All that can become physical does. The Earth’s “tank” current is constantly trying to flush and purify itself. A tremendous current goes upward and outward repelling from the north magnetic pole. This current can’t escape the earth’s astral or magnetic mantle and curves back toward the equator at all points. Passing the equator the current continues toward the south magnetic pole getting stronger and more focused.

At the south magnetic pole it merges as unity and enters physical reality, activating and impelling physical events. Everything that remains in the astral planes is under stress that is preventing it from becoming a physical event.

The entire astral plane is a giant battle ground where competing forces struggle to outlast each other. When the struggle is resolved the astral energies “lock” the new event into the “fixed” Akashic” records and return to their respective physical bodies.

In “rising on the planes” it is seen that one’s awareness must astrally “transform” itself from one type of elemental awareness to another. The noble gases or veils act as barriers that are difficult to cross unless one has enough energy.

The normal location for the astral body in dreams should be at the lowest levels of the astral where less energy is lost and more is retained for personal empowerment. Children naturally function in dreams at these lower levels as do advanced occultists and those “at peace with the world”.

The rest of us climb higher and higher up the astral planes desperately trying to prevent something from happening to us or trying to get something that we want. While we are doing this we are wasting tremendous amounts of personal energy trying to “push” back the earth’s “tank” current. This often results in physical inactivity and depression. We live in our heads in a fantasy world that has little to do with real life. We don’t have the energy to do any more.

A common belief about the astral planes is that it is inhabited by other beings. This goes directly against the “resonant” circuit theory which requires both a physical body and an astral body for self-awareness. It is possible that as long as a physical body exists some type of awareness will anchor itself to it. This implies that we may not be able to reincarnate into new bodies until our old ones are destroyed or mostly destroyed. In this manner perhaps the dead do inhabit parts of the astral as long as their physical bodies remain intact.

Somehow people don’t want to believe that fairies and trolls and nature spirits are personality fragments of real people. In three years of lucid dreaming with an average of three dreams per night I have never experienced this type of phenomenon.

Instead I propose a very simple truth about the life forms that we encounter on the astral planes. Distorted belief systems give distorted astral images. Any astral image that is distorted reflects our own thoughts about that particular energy or person.

My dreams are almost always very life like with non-distorted images. They reflect encounters with real life people, animals, plants, and objects.

Two notable exceptions are occasional dreams of “intelligent” reptile people and spider life forms. To me these suggest that UFOs may truly physically exist and be active in some human affairs. I might also note that these “alien” life forms have affected me in a sinister way. I can not believe that these life forms have our best interests in mind.

As long as I am confessing I might add that I have two friends that are trees! Still I never had dreams about them and I only talk to them once in a while when walking through the woods. They do have physical bodies and seem more intelligent than some people that I know.

Spiritual growth is a mechanical process that requires only effort and works in spite of our self-destructive efforts.

You produce and produce this energy and pump it into the astral until it finally returns to you. The astral is a finite place and your energy build up will be cumulative. If one astral level is full your energy will transmute itself to a type of energy and level that isn’t full. If the earth’s astral level is full it will back the energy up inside yourself and develop the appropriate astral body. Because of the nature of magnetic flux lines and astral material in general, once something is created like an astral body it will tend to make itself permanently activated. It will resist efforts to destroy it or alter it.

If someone tries draining your energy away you just pump more and more into them until they are sated and can’t take any more. Then you continue pumping energy into the astral.

There is a cosmic law that requires half of your energy to go to others before you can use the other half. Any astral creations that you may build require society’s energy to activate them. Where does that energy come from? It comes from what others have drained from you! You just paid in advance. When its time to cash in the chips you are entitled to that energy because you generated it.

In this respect this is white magic. You do not take energy from others or use them in any way. The only conflicts arise when others try to stop you, and they will try to stop you. As you begin you are an innocent energy source to be exploited. As you gain control over the energy that you are generating and begin to use it constructively it won’t be available to others.

They will struggle to keep “your” energy for themselves because they can’t or won’t generate their own energy. They have a limited source of energy to fight with and you have an unlimited source because you generate your own.

These “black” magicians don’t stand a chance against you. But you will have to regain your energy back from them at some point. It might be mentioned that the astral circuits share properties similar to hydraulics as well as electronics. This is because there is only a finite amount of space available and every piece of it is already spoken for.

Your efforts will crowd out the energies of other people. It will do this in two ways. First it may impel the other person’s astral creations into physical reality whether they want it to happen or not. The second is that your energy will destroy the other person’s astral creation regardless of if it is positive or negative.

Nature doesn’t recognize right or wrong. It only recognizes energy and reacts to it. Your efforts will help some people and harm others in the sense that it will force their energy into a resolution to make room for your own.

The only way that you can be psychically “attacked” is through your own weak spots and fears. The process of generating this energy automatically brings the “dark” side of your personality into conscious awareness where you can recognize it as a part of yourself and control it. This leaves no weak spots that can be “attacked”.

The only way to describe this process is as a type of advanced “therapy” that safely and effectively purges emotional pain and trauma from your subconscious. See chapter five.

Energy appears to flow through astral creations via magnetic flux lines or “astral cords”. These lines or cords connect astral objects and entities much as wire connects the parts of an electric circuit. At times these connections can be reversed and the energy flow backwards. An example of this is in a dream where you are driving down the road and suddenly the car is pulled backward or off the road or the breaks don’t work and the movement is beyond your control. In this type of dreams the energy is flowing and overpowers your own.

Astral objects and entities represent complex and very specific amounts of inductance within the resonant circuit formed. They can be replaced easily by an equal type of inductance, but the amount of inductance within the circuit tries to maintain itself at all times.

This gives the effect of having several small dreams that build up a certain type of inductance. They are all part of the same circuit. A time comes when all the little ones can be replaced by a big one and you have a deep and intense dream at the time of the switch. This could reflect a big change coming into or going out of your life depending on the dynamics involved.

At the division of souls into Divine Counterparts, one male and one female, that which is called the first principle was retained by the male and that which is called the second principle was retained by the female. Ordinarily neither has conscious awareness of these gifts and the one is not capable of being conscious of the other’s gift. These two principles lie at the extreme outmost circumference of the soul and of reality, even though they exist in every atomic particle.

To the male was given the ability to tap into the creative force of life itself, the energy of the photon or infinite spiritual light and its complement the lightning flash or lightning bolt. This is the life force energy itself, an ever growing and expansive force that pervades all of existence. This force is also called the Wrath of God, or Lucifer. It is the energy that creates voltage or stress until something happens and the destructive lightning flashes. When the lightning flashes the voltage is released into the female principle and the male principle becomes quiet and relaxed. This process is eternal and exists at all levels of the soul and all levels of life.

The female retains the mysterious “cone of power” or magical/magnetic power of attracting or repelling. Again this power is above the physical world and beneath the physical world. It is this magnetic power that creates the womb or female matrix and it creates on the physical level and on the non physical level according to what type of energy is going through it. This force or power is not ordinarily worked with at the conscious level and remains mechanical and sub conscious for most females. So the female magically draws to her those things she desires into her matrix and magically repels those things she refuses through the power of her love.

It is this matrix or spiritual womb that mixes male and female energies together to form a third energy which is responsible for the creation of all things. Consider the electron and proton in the atom, these are the subatomic principles of the male energy, light and electricity. Consider how the rotating north magnetic field and opposite rotating south magnetic field combine to form the first simple atom of Hydrogen. This is what happens in the spiritual womb of the female.

This is how God created the universe as the Holy Trinity which exists as the fountain of life within every atom that exists, the Father (light/electricity), the Mother (rotating north magnetic/rotating south magnetic) and the Throne of God (the first atom, Hydrogen which forms the stars and the sun). This also forms the highest spiritual body which awareness of both the male and female soul can dwell within. It is the primal body of light and is a round ball of energy which lies beyond the great abyss and is not of this world. Awareness can travel within this astral body to the far ends of existence. This is also the center of the heart of God and of Golden colored Christ energy and love.

At the death of the physical body this primal body of light is what the soul or awareness tries to go inside for safety. It is the first door of death and if awareness can find a home here the soul has truly become immortal and has merged with all of creation as the unity of light. The only way this body of light can be created is by the first principle of the male entering the second principle of the female with enough force to create the spiritual birth for both of them.

If this fails the awareness tries entering the second door of the soul, that of the Helium atom. This completes the first electron ring of the atom and is known as the Sun/Son of God. It is the level of archetypal awareness and of the various gods and goddesses. This is a spiritual level above that of logic and reason and can only be arrived at through spiritual illumination. At this level the soul becomes a Christ or god/dess. This is the level of the third eye and the level that Christianity has taught and striven for this past two thousand years. The astral body of the soul created at this level is human shaped but without features like a balloon of light. It is a radiant body that one can not behold. It is the body of Christ.

If the ego or awareness after the death of the physical body fails at the first and second door of eternal life it enters the third gate of death, the abstract mental energies of the throat chakra. Here the soul or awareness must once more reincarnate into a new birth, but it has a choice to the degree that awareness can hold itself together. This is the 5th density level of the “observer self”, the individual soul or reincarnating ego which survives the death of the physical personality and holds the energies of the soul together as much as it can. Again this “observer self” is created through the mixing and exchange of mental/philosophical male and female energies within the spiritual matrix of the female. The astral body created at this level is that of the “ascended master”.

This has been called the alchemical marriage of Christ and Sophia, his holy bride. It results in the creation of an observer self or soul for both the male and female. The creation of this observer self came about as a byproduct of the invention of reading and writing about four thousand years ago. Prior to that the soul as we know it, the observer self didn’t exist except in a very few bloodlines and in a few individuals. Humanity lived in a hive mind or collective where there were no true individuals except the leaders who alone were able to develop strong enough egos.

This is the level of the rose colored energy of love and of the heart center.

So for the past four thousand years this holy divine marriage of the Christ and Sophia, with the denial of the lower sexual energies and the corresponding repression of the female has dominated the religions and spiritual traditions of the earth. Gaia has never ascended and the Divine Marriage of Gaia and Lucifer has never been allowed until now. For the first time the lowest energies of life and love have been allowed to mix with the highest energies in a full spectrum marriage that completes the male soul and the female soul as Divine Counterparts. This marriage is the only way that Gaia could ascend with all living things. It has never been done before.

The Temple Of One

In the beginning the two groups of alien souls or space brothers and sisters incarnated into physical bodies. They had a strong disadvantage because they did not have a soul connection to Gaia and physical manifesting was not very easy so they allied themselves with the original Gaia inhabitants.

The dynamics of that was interesting because on the one hand there were the rational atheists. They had a strong group soul which they came in with, The other ones, the social enforcers or traditionalists had a strong sense of self and of the immortality of the soul and the spirit world. The spirit worlds were very real for them and the original Gaia inhabitants were just in the beginning stages of developing their own awareness of these things so they were very susceptible to outside influence.

So the native Gaia inhabitants were true organic Gnostics and throughout history, every place you see the hidden teachings of Gnosticism and Tantric sexuality and how they are involved in the development of the soul it refers to them. These things involve love relationships between males and females and the equality of the sexes that goes back to the original inhabitants of Gaia,

Things that go back to the rational atheist point of view are the importance of logic and reason, science and sacrificing of the individual for community and for greater purposes.
The downside is that a machine has no soul and it has no heart and these humans didn’t have a soul and didn’t have a heart in the sense that the original Gaia inhabitants had and so to them the spiritual side of life did not exist. It had no meaning. Everything was mechanical like a machine.

Now the social enforcers or traditionalists knew all about spirituality. They taught the immortality of the soul and how important the heart and the soul was in life, but they were so impassioned by the non-physical realms that they hated physical life and sexuality. They taught to focus on the spiritual and deny the physical side of life.

What they didn’t say is that ultimately the soul and the physical body need each other. That they create a resonant circuit and what else they didn’t say was that the soul by itself, will fade back into nothingness if it does not incarnate back into a physical body to replenish itself.

In both of these two groups there were developed souls that were coming into physical bodies to strengthen and develop their own souls. But they were also working with and in cooperation with the original Gaia inhabitants because the original Gaia inhabitants had the power to draw the fire down from heaven and to physically manifest things. Both groups needed the original Gaia inhabitants abilities to manifest things physically.

It’s important to get an idea of this and how they formed the first mystery schools. I guess you could say the first religion. It was called the Temple of One because everything was in unity. Everything was united and there was a place for each group of humans.

We first see this in the Egyptian Book of the Dead which talks about the three gates that exist for the soul as it transitions from physical life through death and back to some other body. Centuries later we see this reflected once again in the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

The three gates, one for each of these groups and the highest gate, the gate of the individual soul was reserved for the original Gaia inhabitants. The second gate, where the soul upon death was greeted by a Messiah figure or teacher was relegated to the rational atheists. This was a collective because they belonged to a collective soul and that’s where they found their sense of self and would come back from there. The third gate was for the social enforcers or the traditionalists. They found themselves at a doorway or portal where they encountered their reincarnating ego or higher self who directed them to their next body and helped with an overview of the past life.

In the beginning these were all recognized and they were all held together. I first ran across the temple of One when reading about Atlantis. We don’t have any record in the physical world of Atlantis existing and the best we can do is the Minoan civilization of Crete. For all practical purposes, we can say that Crete and the Minoan civilization, represented Atlantis.

It was destroyed by earthquake and flood and in it lived the highest expression of physical life which included the arts, the sciences and the spiritual. It included equality of men and women as well, so there’s nothing wrong with saying that Crete could have been the true island of Atlantis of legend.

And it had the Temple of One. These three groups were able to meet together and live in harmony with each offering their strengths to the others.

But with the destruction of Crete this all changed. We see some of that happening and the survivors going into Egypt. The Egyptian Book of the Dead had some reflections of life similar to what we see in monotheism, Zoroastrianism and other religious concepts,

But basically this is when everything started to fall apart and these two groups which were working in harmony with the original Gaia inhabitants began to work against each other and work against the original Gaia inhabitants.

We see in our modern world how firmly logic and reason and the sciences deny any aspect of the spirit and any aspect of religion.

On the other hand we see how religion and the church has totally denied any importance of physical life, the importance of human sexuality and love relationships. It has focused exclusively or almost exclusively upon the afterlife.

By doing these things both of these groups have tried to disenfranchise the original Gaia inhabitants by feeding them narratives that encourage dependence upon their own group. They have tried to trick the original Gaia inhabitants into turning over their own power to external authorities.

Chapter 9

The next day continued at a luxurious pace. For the first time there was no hurry or pressing matter. He indulged in curiosity and took exploratory hikes away from the stream to check out interesting and promising areas that from time to time caught his attention.

There was plenty of small game and he was always able to knock down some bird or animal for a quick meal. He never thought about using his bow. He had no need for that much meat and didn’t want to waste the time curing and drying it into jerky.

As long as he was following the stream he didn’t have to worry about getting lost or even using the map and compass. All he had to do was keep going downstream. There were actually a few times when it was raining that he would set up camp for a few days in the same spot and just sit out the bad weather. It was so peaceful and beautiful that one day led to the next. There was no pressure to perform and no Rafe to challenge him or push him harder.

He loved setting his own pace and being his own boss. He moved as the spirit moved him and his solo was more like a vacation than actual work.

When he arrived at the lake he made one spot a semi-permanent base and spent two weeks at the lake just fishing, exploring and working on his clothing and equipment. The lake was good sized and fed by several mountain streams. Tobal spent several days just exploring around it and enjoying the colorful sun sets in the evening.

But nights were not restful and his dreams were filled with dark, menacing visions of people being killed and bodies being piled into mass graves. The Lord and Lady never came to him and it seemed the dead walked in his dreams instead of the living.

Game was plentiful and he started a permanent camp similar to Rafe’s. No one seemed to be at this particular location but he did run across the remains of old camp fires and a few shelters. There was nothing recent. He saw many deer with young and the bear had come out of hibernation. He saw one mother bear with cubs and gave it a wide berth. Spring was the natural time for most wild species to give birth and nourish their young. Many of them at one time or another came down to the lake for water usually in the early morning or late evenings just before sunset. One morning he even saw a cougar or mountain lion on the opposite shore of the lake.

It seemed like birds were everywhere and he learned to listen to the forest and what it was telling him. There were times when it was noisy and times when it was almost too quiet. At night the trees would creak and sway in the wind and he would hear night creatures prowl around the camp in the darkness. It had not bothered him when Rafe had been there to talk to. But being alone in the woods was a lot different than being with someone. He thought maybe his dark dreams were getting to him.

Tobal thought about the time he would have to teach six other people to solo just like Rafe had done. He didn’t know if he wanted to teach anyone yet. It would be much more fun to explore and develop a permanent camp. Perhaps he would take his newbies down into this area. With that in mind Tobal began building his own teepee shaped structure. He could get the blanket material from sanctuary later after the framework was completed.

He began setting up things he had seen at Rafe’s, a smokehouse, a rack for drying jerky, a sweat lodge, and several traps for fish and for quail. These were spares for later in the winter months since he didn’t need them right now. It didn’t take him long to realize that he needed more cord and string. He also wished he had something heavier than a knife to cut wood with. A good axe would come in handy. He remembered the one he had seen at the store in Old Seattle and tried making one like it. It turned out better than he had expected and he used it to chop smaller trees for his shelters.

The days passed and once or twice he reflected it was strange he wasn’t missing human companionship. He wasn’t even feeling lonely, just surrounded by a deep peaceful feeling, at least during the daytime. Before he knew it the month was almost up and it was time to head for the gathering spot once more. It was almost full moon. The clan would be having circle and they would be expecting him back.

He gathered enough smoked fish, rabbit and venison jerky to last several weeks. He could supplement that with anything fresh he found along the trail. He hated to leave the lake. He loved to watch the ducks, geese, beaver, muskrats and all the other animals that visited the lake and called it home. He even toyed with the idea of staying, but it was time to go and he knew he would be back.

As Tobal neared the gathering spot he saw others heading toward the circle. When they waved he felt like he was indeed coming home. Nobody else whistled as they approached the camp and they laughed at him. He asked why and was told there were no guards except on the trail that led from sanctuary. Newbies were only to come into camp from that path. After they had joined the clan there was no need for a guard. It was just part of the initiation. Tobal felt silly and wonder why Rafe never told him that part of it. He remembered Rafe laughing at him the last time they had come to circle when he had been constantly whistling. It was so like Rafe to let him figure things out for himself.

He was in high spirits as he helped set up the structures and gather firewood for the bonfire. He was enjoying being treated as an equal and kept busy throughout the day. He was feeling good when his friends showed up congratulating him on his solo.

He talked with Nikki, she had completed her training with Zee and the Elders approved her for soloing this month. She was excited about it. Tobal made sure to give her a kiss for good luck. Nikki was a stocky well built brunette with an infectious sense of humor and an impulsiveness that got her into trouble at times but she always managed to get out of it just as quickly.

“Hey, don’t I get one too?” Zee asked pouting and tossing her braided raven hair back over her shoulder.

Tobal moved over and gave her a big hug and a kiss. “How have you been?” He teased. “I’ve been doing quite well thank you.” She laughed. “I’m heading out for sanctuary in the morning. You want to come along? It’s always more fun traveling together than alone.” She smiled.

“That sounds like a good idea,” he said. “How early are you planning to start out?”

“The sooner the better,” she replied. “How about sunrise?”

“I’ll see if I can get up that early,” he griped and they both smiled.

He walked over and found out Kevin was going to try for a newbie and hoped there would be enough newbies for everyone. They congratulated each other on their solos and told stories about how it had went. Kevin was pretty excited.

When Rafe showed up it was kind of odd because he was alone and didn’t have anyone with him. After a warm hug, Rafe told him that he had been going around visiting people and taking it easy. He would be getting his sixth chevron at the awards and his initiation as Journeyman in two weeks. He was a bit nervous but excited at the same time.

Later at afternoon assembly introductions were made for Tobal, Kevin and the four other newly soloed Apprentices. They were brought out in front of the circle to the sound of cheering, good natured applause and joking.

The next to be brought forward was Rafe. Rafe and another boy who had been Kevin’s teacher were both eligible for the Journeyman degree. They were called to the front as the sixth chevron was sewn onto their sleeves amidst joking and laughter. The Journeyman degree initiation was going to be on the new moon in two weeks. The location was marked on both of their maps. It was a secret location that the Apprentice degrees didn’t know about.

He chatted with Wayne and Char for a bit before sunset. They were building a permanent base camp and planned on spending the winter together. That got Tobal thinking about the coming cold weather and how he needed to get prepared and make some changes in his training. He resolved to pick up his winter gear he had cached at Rafe’s on the way back to circle next month. He thought he would be ok for this month and the furs were not prime yet.

He visited with Tara for awhile. She was concentrating on building a base camp and getting ready for the coming winter. She was hoping to find someone to share camp with and was disappointed when Tobal said he was planning to train during the winter.

The bon fire was lit and word came around that there was going to be several Apprentice initiations and Ellen wanted to get started early. Tobal almost forgot about it until he heard one of the guards boom out.

“Becca Morgan is welcomed into our clan as a new member.” Along with the others, he was caught up in the shouting, applause and craning his neck to get his first view of this new member of the clan.

As the High Priestess and High Priest began the initiation ceremony Tobal found himself remembering parts although some things seemed reversed. Then he realized the High Priest was doing the initiating and not the High Priestess. They had reversed roles because of Becca being female. It seemed the High Priestess only initiated male candidates and the High Priest initiated female candidates.

Tobal was admitted into the circle by the High Priestess with a hug and a kiss and found a place to sit on the northern side of the circle. He sat with others as the circle was purified and made ready for the candidate.

Everyone sat back in anticipation as Becca was led out hood winked with both hands tied behind her back. Her guide was the same dark haired girl that had been his guide and he still didn’t know her name. He was going to have to ask someone. As Becca was initiated Tobal found himself staring at her. Her tunic had been cut so short he could almost see where her slender white legs joined together beneath the cloth and he found them incredibly attractive.

He was watching the candidate or rather watching her legs as the charge was read and began reliving in his own mind the particulars of his own initiation. He could feel the energy building within the circle and he sensed the presence of the Lord and Lady as they took their accustomed places over the central fire.

When the drums started and it was time to move around the circle and build the cone of power he found himself dancing clockwise with the others. As he touched her shoulder and gently turned her it felt like a spark raced up his arm and then down his spine. He felt thrilled and uncomfortable at the same time. What was going on? He was obviously aroused and attracted by this unknown girl. He could even feel how she must feel as the focus of all this energy.

His elation turned to shock and horror as the Priest took the hoodwink off Becca and her face was exposed to the fire light of the circle. As she blinked, he saw it was the face of the girl that almost clawed his eyes out a year ago. She was being initiated into his clan and his circle as a sister.

Stunned and hurt, he got through the rest of the ceremony by retreating so deeply into his own thoughts and inner anguish he hardly realized what was going on within the circle. He sat through three other initiations in a stupor. Later when the party started Tobal made a pretense of having a good time but soon slipped away and nobody seemed to notice he was gone.

Tobal didn’t know if anyone had missed him. He left that evening and struggled his way up the cliff leading back to sanctuary. He was well on his way along the narrow cliff ledge as the sun came up and shed it’s light into the valley. He didn’t want to talk with anyone. All he wanted to do was get away and be alone for awhile. His gut was churning with a mixture of raw emotions.

It wasn’t fair. This was his clan, his circle, his people, and his friends. For Goddess sake, he was in the middle of the wilderness attempting to become a citizen of a Forbidden City. What was the likelihood she would be doing the same thing? The world simply wasn’t that small.

He was in a numbed state as he made his way toward sanctuary for the first time. The trip was a blur and he didn’t remember much. He ate from his own food supplies and didn’t bother hunting for anything but water for his two canteens.

Deep within us something rejoices at the sight of a newborn baby. Each child is a treasure and sacred. The mother of the child is the bringer of life. The innocence of childhood with its joy of living does not need to be lost as we grow older.

We can regain the joy of living we once had as children. To all of us the gift of life is sacred. We are given the limited time we have to advance humanity’s position on planet Earth.

It is wrong to waste that time in self-destructive or non-productive activities. It is also wrong to destroy the life of another in an act of aggression for personal gain.

It is important we have respect for the lives of others and allow them the space and freedom to live and grow. There is no need to fear allowing others freedom and space. There is a difference in fighting to defend our selves and in the violence of war, rape, pillage and murder. When unprovoked never strike the first blow that harms another.

However, when a conflict is inevitable the first blow should be ours and that blow should be decisive. Imagine that we drive to a shopping center late one evening for some last minute shopping and leave the store to return to our car. We are pushing a cart of groceries before us.

As we enter the parking lot and near our car a suspicious and threatening person advances toward us. Looking wildly around for an escape route we see another person coming up behind us. There is no escape and we are stabbed, beaten and die in that dark parking lot because someone wanted our money to buy drugs.

We were so paralyzed with fear we were unable to make one move to defend ourselves. We lived and we died a helpless victim. The policeman around the corner arrived too late to save us.

But what about our loved ones? Our spouse, our children, siblings and parents are suddenly also victims. With our death an important part of their lives is gone forever and we did not lift a finger to prevent it. We were frozen with fear.

Because of our inability to act our loved ones will spend the rest of their lives with any empty space we could have filled. Because of our lack of awareness we failed those that loved us at the time they needed us most.

The gift of life is not simple. When we die our death affects the lives of many other people and they become victims also.

We have an obligation to those we love and those that love us. We have an obligation to choose the manner and time of our own death as much as humanly possible. We are obligated to die with dignity and honor if it is within our power to do so.

Be aware enough to recognize and avoid dangerous situations. When it is not possible to avoid a situation have the awareness and competence to initiate appropriate action and control the outcome of the situation. If we need to fight, make sure we strike the first blow and it causes damage. Hopefully it will cause enough damage to end the fight before there even is a fight.

If we die in such a battle we die with dignity and honor. Our loved ones will still mourn our deaths but they will gain comfort in knowing we fought and we never compromised. They will know we inflicted damage on those that destroyed us.

Think of the joy and happiness of our loved ones if we live through such an encounter because we fought back in self-defense. We now have the rest of our lives to share with them.

The family bonds in life are most sacred. It is important we can fight for the safety and protection of those we love. It is not wrong to fight for those we love; it is an obligation. We never know when we may need to fight for survival.

Have the knowledge and ability to fight with teeth and fingernails if those are the only weapons we have. There is within each one of us the capacity for fearful violence and we need to make it our friend. It will work for our survival in such desperate times of need. Our capacity for physical violence is our friend.

It is there to save our lives and the lives of those we love. It is not right to deny and suppress this aspect of who we are. It is a part of being human.

Our children will know and have comfort in the knowledge that we will do anything in our power to protect and save them from threatening situations. We will even give our lives for them if necessary.

Our spouse can feel safe knowing we will always give our support when they need it. They can count on us to do our part and we will support them in doing their part. They can feel our home is a place of safety and refuge.

Our parents need not fear old age because we will be there to take care of them when they need us. Our parents can know we have the ability and the strength to take care of them. Our siblings can see us as examples and draw encouragement from our own successes in life.

We can strive to be living examples so in our death our lives will be remembered.

Care about neighborhood and town and do your part to see it is a safe place to live in. By caring about the safety and welfare of those we love, we benefit others in the community at the same time.

The key to a safe community is to be capable of doing what is needed. We can provide the safety and protection for ourselves and for those we love. The policeman will always be around the corner and out of earshot when we need him. Never expect the policeman to do what we can’t do for ourselves and for each other. It is wrong to give away power and responsibility to a policeman that we should keep for ourselves. It will never be in our best interests to do so.

It is your life. Keep it in your hands!

The OAK system of magic recognizes 121 different primary magic energies. Level one energy is “Absolute Light” or the “Photon State” and is the highest level possible. Level 121 is “Absolute Black” or the “void”.

These two levels are Cosmic power sources like the two poles of a battery. There is a tremendous voltage between these two levels and the magic energy will take any pathway possible to go from one to the other.

Unlike past magic traditions that used either “Absolute Light” or “Absolute Black” as power sources, OAK uses both at the same time.

It is much like the difference between the electrical system in a flashlight that uses direct current and the electrical outlet in your home that uses alternating current at a much higher voltage.

OAK uses alternating current between levels 1 and 121. The energy flow is in both directions. Because of the two way energy flow, an OAK magician needs to balance and harmonize his or her higher self with their shadow self and integrate them under the ruler ship of the healthy human ego.

In short, an OAK magician needs to be healthy physically, emotionally, and mentally in order to handle the extreme energies they work with.

“Absolute Light” is considered as expansive and masculine or “God” energy. “Absolute Black” is considered an inward manifesting,gravitational type energy and is considered feminine or “Goddess” energy.

These are the two primal power sources that drive the entire OAK magic system. “Absolute Light” and “Absolute Black” have no moral attributes such as right or wrong. In fact, they are both considered extremely healthy and needed for life.

Level 2 is rotating magnetic field energy. This can be either clockwise or counter clock wise and either outward moving or inward moving, male or female. Level 2 energy actually links levels 1 and 121 together for the first time and creates and alternate route for the cosmic energy to flow.

Rotating magnetic field energy is another name for the “magic cone of power” that is generated during magic work. The expansive male type of vortex is protective in nature and keeps out non harmonious influences. This is most commonly used and the deosal circle or clockwise. The counterclockwise or widdershins vortex is a manifesting vortex that aids in the physical manifesting of things. It however, mutates and alters intent to get results so it is not commonly used and considered dangerous.

Levels 3 through 120 are simply the non-physical energies of the physical elements Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium….ect. Each new level is created with the addition of one Proton (Light energy) and one electron (“Black energy). The non-physical levels 3 through 120 create the astral layers around the earth itself. The outermost layer is the Hydrogen layer, the next inner layer is the Helium layer and the next inner to that is the Lithium layer….ect. So in OAK we find exactly 118 layers in the astral world and each layer is associated with one physical element and in the non-physical aspect of that element.

The heaviest possible element has seven complete electron rings around it. Like the seven colors of the rainbow and the seven musical notes of the piano keyboard seven is very significant in nature.

Organic Gnosticism derives from the original “path of woman” and was created for the male. That much is certain. I can only speculate about the path of the female, but I have been given insight into some things that touch upon magical practice. The Sacred Virgin and the Tantrika is one of them.

In magical practice it is the female that uses male energy mixed with her own energy to create observer selves for both of them, time lines for both of them and the etheric pattern of their entire world at the level of her particular energy. It has long been known that a magician needed to find a female partner capable of manifesting magic in a physical way. Such a female was highly treasured and very few females are at this level of the Tantrika or Diva. These females often worked with several male partners and were teachers to many. They had no need to be virgins. Their normal energy level was the lowest level of sexual orgasm energy.

Now in my personal experience I’ve been drawn into cycles with various females that created observer selves or astral bodies, timelines and worlds from out of each chakra center or energy. None of them were virgins and most were platonic relationships. These cycles didn’t include or require physical sexual relationships. But I worked these cycles developing the crown chakra, the third eye chakra, the throat chakra, the heart chakra, the solar plexus chakra, the spleen chakra and the root chakra before experiencing the final Divine Counterpart cycle of the sexual orgasm energy of the testes/ovaries chakra and this also was non physical in nature.

The point is that each of these women were masters of a certain energy and that energy was what I needed to work with. They were not able to work the lowest energy with other males except for one, the one to whom they lost their virginity!

Every female can work the lowest sexual orgasm energy with one male, the one she loses her virginity to. This is the riddle of the Sacred Virgin and why she was treasured for her magic in magical circles. With all other males she works the energy of her own specialty or mastery and is not able to manifest physically through the magic of sexual orgasm energy. Her magic is of a higher type.

Then he took the bowl of consecrated salt from the High Priestess as she picked up the bowl of consecrated water. They faced each other and he poured the salt slowly into the bowl of water and set his empty bowl down on the altar. He stayed there as the High Priestess set her bowl on the altar and began casting the circle with her knife. She started in the north west corner of the circle directly where Tobal and the others were standing and moved deosil walking the perimeter of the circle saying.

May this circle be a meeting place of love, joy and truth. Shield us against evil, protect us and direct the power we shall raise tonight. In the name of the Lord and Lady, So mote it be.”

The High Priest joined her as they both came back to the circle entrance. With her knife she opened a pathway for them to enter the circle. Then she and the High Priest began to admit members into the circle with a hug and kiss spinning them clockwise into the circle. The High Priestess greeted the males and the High Priestess greeted the females into the circle until everyone was within the circle and seated.

The entry was sealed and the High Priest took the bowl of water and started at the North signal fire behind the altar sprinkling it with the water and salt mixture. He continued around the circle stopping at each quarter sprinkling the water and salt mixture intoning.

“I purify you with water.”

Coming once more to the North he continued around the circle sprinkling each member with water and blessing him or her.

As he was doing this a different Master in a red cloak took up a smoking smudge of sage and stopped at each quarter waving the smoking smudge saying.

“I purify you with air.”

She continued around the circle blessing and purifying each circle member.

Another Master took a flaming torch from the central bonfire and purified the circle and members with fire. Only the High Priestess and High Priest had their hoods down. The other red cloaked figures had large hoods that covered their faces and hid their identities. Tobal only recognized Ellen as the HighPriestess.

The High Priestess went to the East of the circle and drew an invoking pentagram of air with her knife.

“Watchtowers of the East, powers of air. I call upon you to be with us tonight.”

Moving along the edge of the circle to the South Quarter she traced a matching invoking pentagram of fire in the air in front of the signal fire.

“Watchtowers of the South, powers of fire. I call upon you to be with us tonight.”

Moving to the west she traced an invoking pentagram of water in front of that signal fire.

“Watchtowers of the west, powers of water. I call upon you to be with us tonight.”

Moving to the North she traced an invoking pentagram of earth in front of that signal fire.

“Watchtowers of the North, powers of Earth. I call upon you to be with us tonight.”

Tobal suddenly felt an electrical tension that filled the circle. It was a powerful energy but also quiet and balanced. He sensed each of the four energies and wondered at their uses.

Returning to the altar in the North, the High Priestess made the sign of the cross and turned with her back facing the altar. Her robe slipped to the ground displaying her naked body in the fire light.

The High Priest with his right fore finger touched her right breast, left breast, womb, and back up to her right breast making a downward pointing triangle.

“I invoke and call upon the eternal Lady that is deep within you and has always been within you from the birth of your physical body and from the birth of your eternal soul. Join us in peace and love within our circle and give us your blessings.”

The High Priest stepped back and waited silently. The High Priestess opened her eyes and Tobal could swear it was not the same person. Her eyes and voice took on a power and authority that filled the entire circle.

“Let there be Love.”

Slowly they traded places and the High Priest stood with his back to the altar and his robe slid to the ground exposing his hard and muscled figure. The High Priestess with power and authority touched him first on the center of the forehead, then the left shoulder, the right shoulder and back to the forehead once more making an upward pointing triangle.

“I invoke and call upon the eternal Lord that is deep within you and has always been within you since the birth of your physical body and the birth of your immortal soul. Join us in energy and light within our circle and give us your blessings.”

Then she stood back and waited. The High Priest opened his eyes and responded spreading his arms wide in blessing.

“Let there be Light!”

Tobal could feel energy filling the circle. It was charged with a type of static electricity and was feeling hot and stuffy, almost a little uncomfortable. He also felt the presence of the Lord and Lady within the High Priest and High Priestess and wondered at it.

The High Priestess and the High Priest then stood side by side facing the East holding hands as she intoned the charge of the Lord and Lady as he first heard it during his initiation.

He felt deeply stirred at the memory and suddenly he could see and feel both the Lord and Lady leaving the High Priest and High Priestess and taking their place above the central fire. He sensed them in his mind looking down in blessing and filling the circle with love, peace and healing. It seemed they looked directly toward him and smiled in welcome.

Then the drums began and members began to dance deosil around the circle. Tobal joined reluctantly at first and then with growing passion. They danced slowly and then more wildly as the energy level rose. The drums beat more rapidly and the dancers became crazed throwing off robes and dancing naked in the fire light. They leapt and sang in ecstasy moving around the fire alone and as partners, loosing themselves to the beat and rhythm of the drums. Tobal gave himself to the pounding rhythm and to the Lord and Lady. He was dancing for them.

The drums beat faster and faster until the dancers were sweat streaked but showing no sign of stopping. A sudden signal from the High Priestess brought complete and abrupt silence to the entire circle as everyone turned and looked at her. The tension and energy in the circle was overpowering.

“Lord and Lady,” she shouted, “We ask you to send your blessings and our blessings out to those in special need this night. We especially ask you to bless and assist those that are about to solo. Be with them and guide their steps so they may return successfully to us in a month’s time. So mote it be!”

“So mote it be,” the entire circle replied and Tobal felt such a wave of energy and love wash over him that he was swept out of his body and up once more into the arms of the Lady, this time as a baby. She gazed lovingly into his eyes as his consciousness faded away.

Tobal woke as someone helped him back to the edge of the circle where his robe was laying. The circle felt empty, the energy was gone although he still felt it inside himself. That wasn’t the end though because Nikki’s initiation began. Again he experienced the build up of energy, only this time it was directed at Nikki. Again in his minds eye he saw the Lord and Lady taking their place above the central fire.

Later there were people standing in relaxed bunches around fires drinking and eating. Instinctively he knew the circle had done some powerful magick that night and that his solo would be blessed.

This was quite different from the wild party he had experienced last month. There was a feeling of joy, friendship and goodwill as people joked and talked with each other helping themselves to enormous quantities of food and drink. They gradually moved into small groups to quietly sit together and talk far into the night. He made a special point of welcoming Nikki into the clan.

He spent time chatting with Zee and noticed Angel was back from sanctuary. She was limping slightly but otherwise seemed to be doing well. He met another Apprentice named Tara. He had noticed her dancing and made a special point to meet her. Wayne and Char were both there laughing at some of the stories Rafe was telling. It was a good party and he felt warm and happy when he finally made his way to bed.

Tobal’s solo wasn’t the way he envisioned it. He left circle on the 2nd morning when everyone else was leaving. He had decided to explore some country that he hadn’t visited before and wanted to find a place with adequate water. He was also interested in finding an area where he could set up a permanent base camp. To his surprise, he wasn’t interested in the solo. He was interested in exploring.

With those two things in mind he decided to head south and see what the country was like. His map showed a small lake about a hundred miles South. He wanted to check it out and do some exploring. It was out of the area he was expected to stay within but there were no hard rules about where he could and couldn’t go. His vision of the Lord and Lady seemed to be directing him and pulling him toward that lake for some reason. He had noticed it on the map before but it was only since last night he really felt compelled to see it on his own.

Somehow the energy of the circle last night had changed something inside of him and altered his plans about where he was going to solo. Still it felt right and he headed east until he found a small stream that emptied into the lake. With a light heart he whistled as he started out. The day was bright and shiny. He kept on the lookout for things to eat and made a leisurely camp near the stream. It was late May and the weather was a little chill in the evening but wonderful during the day.

After setting up a shelter and gathering fire wood for the night he roasted a rabbit he had gotten with a sling earlier in the day. As it was roasting he brought the last firewood into the camp. He was hoping for fresh fish in the morning and set out fish traps. Earlier he had stopped by one of his caches and brought some smoked jerky from the deer he had killed.

He mixed some of the jerky with greens and made hearty soup that went well with the rabbit. It really hit the spot. He had gotten salt at circle last night and used it sparingly in the food. It was wonderful.

These daily activities were so routine for him that he didn’t really think about them anymore. He was thinking instead about the territory up ahead. Staying alive and having enough food was not a concern thanks to Rafe’s excellent training.

He settled in under the blankets, the crackling of the fire in his ears and firelight flickering against his face. In his minds eye he could see the Lord and Lady watching over him and he wondered at his feeling of being protected. Feeling surrounded in love and peace he fell into an easy sleep waking only to tend the fire as it burned low.
