Consider Gaia and how she twirls round and round as she travels through space. There is a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere is magnetic north and the southern hemisphere is magnetic south. They are true opposites, one clockwise and the other counter clockwise; one pushing outward and the other concentrating like an inner vortex pulling things in.

Yet these two opposites which have nothing at all in common are united and in their union they reinforce each other and form the stable structure that supports Gaia and all life upon her!

This is the function of duality; two unite in a third form and create something stable; something both can support with all their power! This is also the dream of male and female and how love can unite them in a third marriage or union that joins their souls together in a joy that transcends life itself.

The Prince of the Sun degree in Scottish Rite Freemasonry teaches this ultimate union of opposites. It is symbolized by the snake swallowing its tail and by the circle. The idea is to recognize the ultimate union of opposites and play both ends against the middle, to gain the desired objective. So we have Democrats and Republicans; both convinced in the rightness of their own cause and the wrongness of the other. We have men and women misunderstanding and hating each other in a war of the sexes.

There is a deliberate effort to keep duality as conflict; duality as good and evil; alive and to eliminate duality as stable union and as strong and stable love between a man and a woman!

Are you getting angry yet? It gets much worse!

Now we can talk about the immortality of the soul and its empowerment; how conscious awareness can stay alive after physical death through the development of a strong sense of self that is not dependent upon the physical body. Psychologically we are talking about the creation of “an observer self”, that part of us that watches our dream self as we dream. Not every one has this; but many could. Strong egos and strong self esteem can be developed in many ways and I’ve written about some of them.

But this too is old news! The creation of the soul and the survival of awareness and consciousness after the death of the physical body have been known for ages. Each religion developed ways of doing this and they are strikingly similar.
But even here we have been played for fools! We have not been taught the need for uniting opposites in love to form a new and greater third; but taught the inevitable conflict and ultimate victory of one opposite over the other! This is the greatest crime that has ever been perpetrated against humanity and has resulted in the loss of many souls and many lives!

The various mystery schools of the East and the West have taught both a “White Path” and a “Red Path”. The “White Path” is essentially the mystical path of the Marriage of Sophia and Christ which culminates in the birth of the observer self or immortal soul, an awareness that can exist beyond the death of the physical body. It creates an astral body out of mental and spiritual energies and involves the denial of the physical body and its pleasures. But it is a true path in that it does involve the union of opposites.

The “Red Path” is essentially a path involving tantric sexuality and the union of opposites to create a “magical body” which can survive after the death of the physical body.

Variations of both the “White Path” and the “Red Path” can be found in Western Alchemy, the Hermetic Tradition, Neoplatonism, mythology, Arab, gnostic and medieval sources as well as the Eastern Religions including Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism.

In all of the above the true paths can be discerned by this balancing of contraries and necessary union of opposites. The false path can be discerned in the inevitable conflict of opposites and the dominion of one over the other. One is the path of love and the other is the path of hate!

We have been played for fools! What are we going to do about it?

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.

That is his blessing; that is his curse.
When he errs as a young dandy,
He still errs with ancient understanding.

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!

There are times in life when we need to stand fast, resolute, and invulnerable like a rock. In times of assault and trial we feel the need to stand true to our inner convictions, true to what we believe in, in the face of death itself.

At such times we are like a rock in our faith and it is a source of strength to us. This is a sound defensive strategy. It is easier to take a defensive position and resist all attacks rather than attack a superior force or opponent.

It is sound judgment to let the opposition work itself out and deplete its energy while we retain ours through a tight defensive position.

This concept of standing like a rock has a very solid foundation in physical reality and draws strength from physical reality. It also shows the wisdom of caution and non-aggression while remaining true to who we really are.

Due to the hierarchal nature of life, as we develop our own personal power we earn the right to a better position. A position in life that holds more options for us and more chances for fulfillment. This means we may eventually take over a position that someone else already holds.

All positions within the hierarchy are always filled. As soon as a position becomes vacant the proper person fills it. Our struggle to advance becomes a threat to those who currently hold the position we are striving for and they will fiercely resist, not out of malice toward us, but in the interests of self-preservation.

They wish to retain the position they currently hold. It is popular to believe that the advancement of our own interests and pursuit of happiness should not be a threat to anyone else. The truth is that nature is always filled to capacity and the finite world we live in will not grow any larger.

When we advance someone else somewhere loses a little space. The opposite is also true. When someone else somewhere loses a little bit there is an opening that we can advance into. This happens naturally as people in the workforce age and retire leaving empty positions to be filled by younger people. The difference between these two methods is profound. The first is aggression and open attack for power and position in life. The individual attempts to force his or her will upon others.

The second method is when a person stays at his or her current position slowly and gradually gaining personal power as little openings present themselves and at the proper moment in time when a person in a higher position retires or withdraws that newly vacated position is offered to us. In this method there is no fighting for position and power because it is naturally recognized which person is proper for the new position.

There is no need to attack people who hold positions we aspire to. In the fullness of time and when it is appropriate that position will become ours if it is meant to be. It is wise to be content with our own growth and personal evolution and not threaten people.

There is no need to attack them. They may even at some point attack us simply because our increased energy is becoming a threat to them. Let them draw the first blood.

Many times they feel trapped in positions that are becoming too much for them to handle and they want to find a way out. Attacking us is often a way to hasten their own retirement in an honorable way. Such people feel that it is better to die fighting for something then to be confined for the rest of their living years in an old folks home as they die from a degenerative disease.

When we desire personal growth in life our actions will often result in others attacking us at some point. Our efforts toward self-fulfillment are making it more difficult for others to achieve their own personal goals. At times there is a valid conflict of interest in even the most innocent of goals. We might want what others want and they might want what we want.

To believe otherwise is to bury one’s head in the sand and refuse to see the world as it exists. To admit the realities of life is to come to terms with them in a way that treats others with respect and dignity.

In taking a defensive position and asserting ourselves a little at a time as the opportunity presents we can advance without losing respect for human life and dignity. If others choose to fight us in battle we have the sacred trust and obligation to respect their right and choice and also the sacred trust and obligation to fight back with every ounce of power and energy available to us. We can respect those we battle with as fellow warriors who wish to die in battle or go down fighting.

When others attack it is vital we hold our own against them. We stand firm to what we believe in the face of death itself. Our position is rightfully earned through the honest development of personal power and the accumulated energy of physical work. We do not need to back down.

Often those who attack us are in the position that is right for us. They no longer have the right to that position because they have abused it or have become unfit for it in some manner. These people seek to hold their position through fear and intimidation and not through personal ability. It is a moral wrong to surrender to these people when it is within our power to advance into a position that is rightfully one that we have earned.

It may be morally wrong to aggressively force our way into positions of power and influence, but it is equally wrong to avoid those positions if they are offered to us either as a gift or through the aggressions of others. It is not morally wrong to take the power away from a bully who uses intimidation and terror to achieve his or her goals.

Life situations can take on the quality of opening a can of worms. An action that seems very simple and straightforward can entangle us in a hopeless mess that will drain away our energy reserves. Those in higher positions will attempt to draw us into situations that will entangle us. These people are adept at finding any weak spots that we may have and use them against us.

The key to dealing with these situations is to remain purely defensive. Establish a boundary and don’t let an opponent cross that boundary. Be true to our own interests and keep our efforts and energies away from entanglements and lost causes.

In this way even our weaknesses turn into strengths as we gain awareness of them and are forced to deal with them in an appropriate manner. Often our greatest weaknesses when honestly confronted and owned become our greatest strengths and assets.

Do not aggressively attack for positions of power and influence. Those in superior positions will hold the advantage and turn our own efforts against us. They have the ability to twist and distort our own efforts in a way that will advance their own position. When we refuse to attack they have no means of diverting us and drawing us into unprofitable activities. They can do nothing and we can quietly continue our efforts at personal growth in peace and tranquility.

By remaining in a tightly focused defensive position we can wait out any attack and weather the storm. When the storm is over we will be free to assume the positions in life that we have earned through our own hard effort. Our enemies will have destroyed themselves by bettering themselves against the solid rock of our defense. Openings for advancements will then appear when the timing is right.

Have you ever fallen in love with the mystery and elusiveness of magic? Do the shadows make your pulse jump? Does energy work fill you with an intense pleasure?

I know that over the years it has done this for me and much more. What yearning can possess someone to seek initiations into secret societies and secret knowledge? There is a hunger in my soul that only magic can fill and this post is for those people like me.

In the subjective world of magic everyone perceives differently but there is one universal truth. Once you have experienced something magical you can recognize when other people talk about similar experiences, even when they use different words and concepts. This is such a broad subject and there are so many places where one could start.

I’ve chosen to begin with magic and its ties to physical reality. Contrary to what many believe, magic is for those seeking material manifestations and intense physical living. It is not an escape from reality, but an intense immersion into physical reality.

Magical energy is generated by the physical body. It stands to reason that anyone seriously interested in magic must take good care of their physical body and treat it as the temple which it truly is.

Extreme living is the norm for magical practitioners. Often excessive, compulsive behavior is needed to develop the magical powers of the soul. Think about it. An intense energy drives people who are serious about magic.

So what is magic? It makes me almost puke to to hear “change in conformity with will” or some other garbage.

Let me tell you what I’ve heard from sources I trust. The Rosicrucians claimed that H Spencer Lewis, former Imperator, was able to manifest gold through alchemy in a public demonstration. Joseph Weed mentions that a Rosicrucian master manifested physical roses that fell in an auditorium. These roses had stems that tapered into points. They were not natural flowers.

These statements clearly state physical manifestations are possible. As a Rosicrucian of over 20 years I’ve studied the techniques claimed to manifest these things. I have not had such impressive results. I hope to someday find conclusive proof of this one way or another. In the meantime I would like to share that the world is currently in a magical battle and that ordinary magical practices no longer apply.

What I have personally experienced is powerful transformative techniques that have changed my life. These have been magical in every way. I have also experienced precognitive dreams on a regular basis which proves that physical events must happen astrally before they manifest physically.

I have also experienced lucid dreaming in which the outcome of an event was altered through will and magical effort. There is no doubt that such dreams altered the potential outcome of real physical events which happened the next day.

Over the past twenty five years I have developed all astral bodies and their powers. I currently function in multiple realities. The astral planes are no longer theoretical, but actual and I experience them every moment of my day!

In summary, astral work or dream work can and does alter physical reality before it manifests. That is enough for me to believe in the value of magical workings and the validity of astral phenomenon.
