Hi everyone!

I hope that you have found the free Organic Gnosticism course useful and informative. I have not been on the site for a while and need to determine whether to offer another class or not. I have produced and am still producing a lot of material, some of which is nice to know but not necessary. The reason for this class was to sift out the most important elements that would allow for a safe and orderly progression of material and ability.

This class provides a safe foundation for the more dangerous work of deliberately working with tantric sexual energies. By completing this free course you will have balanced the energy circuits within your body at the higher levels and established a safety net for dealing with sudden eruptions of lower trapped and repressed energies.

In my opinion what is offered in this course in needed before anyone can safely work with tantric sexual energies. Once this material is mastered you are on your own.

While I have given many hints in my writings I have stopped short of actually sharing my own personal experiences of working with tantric sexual orgasm energy and soulmate cycles. This includes a Divine Counterpart Cycle. The information is simply too dangerous to share for those not ready for it.

Essentially what I discovered was the core truth behind incubus and succubus experiences! Both incubus and succubus are the shadow aspects of real people that go out seeking sexual fulfillment from those with compatible energies. As the shadow aspect is integrated into the normal healthy ego one often gets to meet their astral sexual partners either in real life or through some form of correspondence. These are actually soulmate cycles and require a purity that expel any conflicting energies away. Most Divine Counterparts find each other but are not able to consummate their relationships on a physical level. They have other karmic commitments that prevent them from actually living together. But they can communicate with each other and have relationships on the astral planes and the etheric plane.

Energy vampirism is a violation of these very principles. The generated energy of one soul goes out and automatically seeks the appropriate soulmate partner while the vampire selects their victim in a violent way that is the act of a predator.

I have been led through seven soulmate cycles and one Divine Counterpart cycle in which I have experienced many aspects of falling in love with another person. Each of these cycles allowed both of us to permanently activate specific astral bodies and most involved positive and loving correspondence between us. Only one was physically consummated. All others were astrally consummated.

In a world where one cannot work with tantric sexual energies because they don’t have a partner this type of working is extremely powerful. Our energies are automatically drawn to a proper partner even if they are on the other side of the world!

At this stage in my life I have permanently activated my lowest etheric body and integrated all of my non-physical bodies into one complete soul body. This was my Divine Counterpart cycle. We live inside each other even though we are far apart. I’ve taken things as far as they can be taken. The rest is simply the multiplication of the philosopher’s stone. A sharing of what I know . . .

I have to decide if there is enough interest to create another course that shares what I know of these things. I would only share them with graduates of this course. There would need to be at least four people interested and I would need to charge $75 for the course because it costs me almost $500 a year for this site [ The Organic Gnosticism Course Site, not Pagan Space] and I have offered Organic Gnosticism for free. The course would basically be audio and text with much opportunity for questions and clarification. This would get into the experiential basics of what tantra really is from the perspective of someone who has traveled that path.

So I need to know if there is enough interest (at least four people) or I will simply drop this site [ The Organic Gnosticism site, not Pagan Space] because I cannot afford to pay $500 per year out of my own pocket. I need to make this decision sometime this spring so please respond if interested. Get in touch with me through the class or email me at:

joebandel@gmail.com

Reference OAK Tantra Class so I can spot it easily.

Thanks,

Now we will continue our exploration of “American Rosae Crucis” published in 1916 by Imperator H. Spencer Lewis.

Thutmose III saw that the Order had very definite principles, rules and modes of procedure, all of which have come down to us today without material change.

At the close of his reign in 1447 BCE there were 39 Brothers and Sisters in the Order and the meetings, which had become regular and systematic, were held in one of the halls of the Temple of Karnak, outside of which Thutmose III erected two obelisks bearing a record of his achievements.

Before his transition, Thutmose III made his son co-regent. Thus Amenhotep II took up his father’s work in the Order about the end of September 1448 BCE.

Amenhotep II ruled from 1448 BCE to 1420 BCE and he in turn was succeeded by his son Thutmose IV who ruled from 1420 BCE to 1411 BCE.

Amenhotep III, son of the preceding, occupied the throne from 1411 BCE to 1375 BCE and was the last of the truly powerful Pharaohs or emperors.

Upon the transition of Amenhotep III the Empire fell to his son Amenhotep IV, with whose history all Rosaecrucians are greatly concerned. He was the last Great Master in the family of the founders and the one to whom we owe the really wonderful philosophies and writings used so universally in all Lodge work throughout the world.

Amenhotep IV was born in the Royal Palace at Thebes, November 34th, 1378 BCE. He was only eleven years old in 1367 BCE when he was crowned and immediately began a career unequaled by any Pharaoh of Egypt.

HIs father, having been the Master of the Order for a number of years, built the great Temple of Luxor and dedicated it to the Order. The Order numbered 83 Brothers and 62 Sisters at this time and at the crowning of young Amenhotep IV, the Master of the Order was one Thehopset who remained in the office until 1365 BCE. Amenhotep’s installation as MASTER-BY-COUNCIL-DECREE occurred in the Temple of Luxor, April 9th, 1365 BCE, at sunset, in the presence of his bride and her parents.

Amenhotep IV being the only descendant it was deemed advisable that he marry as early as the customs then permitted in order that an heir to the throne could be assured. But though Amenhotep IV had a number of children, unfortunately they were daughters, and this proved disastrous to the Order as well as to the throne.

We have a little more to share about this great Master before we move on in this overview of the Order according to Imperator H. Spencer Lewis.

Julian Jaynes in his book “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” demonstrates just when humanity stopped hearing the voices of the gods in their heads. He identifies the period between the Greek classics by Homer, “The Iliad” and the “Odyssey”. Considered to having been written sometime between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE. According to Jaynes the “Iliad” belongs to the time when what we call consciousness does not exist in humanity. The human hears the voice of the god or goddess speaking to them and simply does what they are told. The “Odyssey” in contrast demonstrates a certain kind of mentality that is capable of self reflection.

While Jaynes suggests this change in human consciousness is the result of the invention of reading and writing, it might also be the result of the mutual self destruction of the Anunnaki civilizations. In any case they seem to have lost their ability to communicate with their gods like Enlil and Enki.

In another way we see the “hive mind of humanity” at work here. As the ancient Egyptians lost the ability to hear the voices of the gods and goddesses in their heads, they turned instead to their rulers, the Pharaohs and made gods and goddesses of them! Those in the Order seemed to be the only ones able to communicate with the unseen and immortal Anunnaki Gods and Goddesses. We will see later on just how important this ability was to the ancient Egyptians and members of the Order.

We might also take a look at our modern society in which one portion of it seems to be gaining the ability to channel spiritually advanced entities and hear voices in their heads and the other portion that steadfastly refuses to even admit the possibility of a soul. Those who deny the existence of a soul demand obedience to external authorities! Is this the completion of one cycle and the beginning of another?

In any case the civilization that now developed in Egypt was based upon Spiritual Light and very mystical in nature. We see the members of the Order using all methods possible to find ways to reunite with their unseen companions, the immortal Anunnaki known as gods and goddesses.

In contrast, on the other side of the Mediterranean in Crete, we see a Goddess oriented civilization that openly celebrated both life and death. It was aligned with nature and the powers of life and rebirth. The writing that existed was for business and inventory needs and not for the keeping of sacred knowledge. Sacred knowledge was passed down in experiential ways, in shamanistic ways. This was not the life giving power of the sun, but the life bringing vital life force energy of the earth itself, Mother Gaia. It also celebrated these things in story and song. The Greeks produced dramatic plays to tell the sacred stories. In Crete we are able to see how the influence of Enki was much different than the influence of Enlil in Egypt.

Also deeply embedded within the ancient Minoan and Mycenaean mythologies were the stories of the underworld or other world, or Summerland, things that were missing in the Egyptian mysteries.

One wonders what our world would be like today if the Minoan civilization had not been destroyed through violent volcanic eruptions. Instead of a patriarchal world it might have been a matriarchal world or at least one more balanced between the sexes.

I needed to bring these things up because we will soon see that the ancient Greeks began coming to Egypt in “search of light”.

I am going to temporarily set aside my discussion of the Order in Egypt as we take a peak at what is happening on the other side of the Mediterranean. Same time period, around 3,000 BCE after the Anunnaki civilization has been wiped out and what was once lush tropical land has now turned into the Sahara desert.

Amazingly, as if out of nowhere, the Minoan civilization flourishes on the island of Crete just off Greece. It is an advanced civilization and the only known advanced civilization of antiquity known to be Goddess oriented. But genetically there has been no change. This advanced civilization emerged out of the native population of Crete itself. It appears to belong to haplogroup H. This civilization created the first form of writing in Europe! It originated from ancient peoples that lived in central Europe. These have been called West European Farmers.

Right next door in ancient Greece appears the Mycenaean civilization which is highly influenced by the Minoan civilization. The Mycenaean civilization extends outward to the east into western Anatolia (Turkey) and into the Pontic Steppe north of the Black Sea. It also pushes into the Aegean basin. Genetically it is influenced by the western European Farmers, but also the hunter gatherer tribes from the Pontic Steppe and to a certain extent from western Anatolia. The Mycenaean civilization has a much more diverse population than that found in Crete although they are very close.

Let’s take a step back and look at what is happening. Immediately after the mutual destruction of the Anunnaki civilizations we see haplogroup R1b coming down from the Caucasus regions to occupy Sumer and then to inhabit Egypt. There is a mad dash to write down all sacred knowledge before it is lost. Much of the ancient technology has been lost. The line of Pharaohs begins with the first dynasties and these Pharaohs are the keepers of a secret knowledge. They form what they call the Order. These are the followers of Enlil.

On the other side of the Mediterranean we have a similar thing happening in Crete with a totally different advanced civilization appearing with its own form of writing. What is really going on here?

Julian Jaynes in his book “The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” draws some pretty interesting conclusions and says in part that once people invented reading and writing they lost the ability to hear the voices of the gods and goddesses in their heads!

Suddenly there were no voices to be heard! What happened to all those non-physical Anunnaki souls? It seems they were somehow forced into physical human bodies. They became trapped in physicality. They frantically sought ways of retrieving their sacred knowledge and writing it down.

A couple thousand years later, around 1,100 BCE Crete was destroyed when a nearby volcano erupted both destroying the Minoan civilization and plunging Greece into the Dark Ages. This is most probably when the seeds were planted in central Europe for the shamanistic Druid civilization and for the sacred Goddess mysteries at Samothrace in the Aegean.

This brings up an interesting point about the Anunnaki. Did Enlil and Enki really have physical bodies or were they immortal gods and simply on occasion “take possession” of a physical body that was provided to them by the priesthood? Such possession would only be temporary like the Loa riding their worshipers in Voodoo or like many modern channelers that channel certain entities to transmit sacred knowledge. In any case the war of mutual destruction of the Anunnaki did seem to make it impossible for such channeling to take place and the Anunnaki souls became trapped in physical bodies and in the reincarnation cycles experienced by the native humans.

As we continue our journey into the past as revealed in the early issues of “American Rosae Crucis” by Imperator H. Spencer Lewis it becomes evident that he has access to records that give exact dates of historical conclaves, birth charts of former Masters of the Order, and other information, some of which he reveals to us. I have taken the liberty of editing some of this by cutting out portions that don’t seem important. In other words I may skip around a bit in the text but don’t add to it. (except for making BC-BCE)

Ahmose I was succeeded as Pharaoh by Amenhotep I, who reigned 10 years and became a teacher in the secret school for three years.

On January 12th, 1538 BCE Thutmose I was crowned succeeding Amenhotep I. He owed his postition to his wife, Ahmose, who was the first woman to become a member of the class on equal terms with the men. The discussion regarding her admittance (still preserved in the Rosaecrucian Archives) forms an interesting document and reveals the origin of some of the doctrines of the equality of the sexes.

Thutmose I was succeeded by Hatshepsut, his daughter, who ruled as a “king” independently and as co-regent with her half-brother Thutmose III, a son of Thutmose I by his marriage to Isis.

It was Thutmose III who organized the present physical form of the Rosaecrucian Order and outlined many of its rules and regulations.

He became ruler upon the deposition of his father, Thutmose I, in 1500 BCE. He ruled until 1447 BCE and his reign is unimportant to us except for his establishment of the Order. When Thutmose proposed that the “class” which had been meeting in his chambers become a closed and secret order “there was no dissenting voice and articles of limitations were established ere the assembly dispersed in the early hours of the dawn.”

This grand “Council Meeting”,” for such it is considered in all official records, occurred during what would be the week of March 28th to April 4th of 1489 BCE according to our present calendar. The twelve brothers and sisters were present at this first “Supreme Council R. C. of the World”, the Sisters being the wife of Thutmose III, known in the Order as “MENE”; the wife of one of the Brothers, and another who was a descendant of one of the rulers of a preceding dynasty. Therefore, there were 9 Brothers and 3 Sisters at this Council, a combination of numbers very significant.

No name was decided upon for the Order, the records showing that the predominating thought was the maintenance of secrecy. The Order was to have no publicity, required no propaganda other than personal advice to those whose presence in the Order was desired, and as the one word, translated into ORDER, was sufficient name for all purposes, we do not find any other term.

The writer has noticed this especially in such documents are are given to a newly established Grand Lodge and which are translations of the documents prepared prior to 1326 BCE. In these the element, the idea, of secrecy is so strong and predominant that the Order is referred to indirectly and sometimes erroneously (or perhaps diplomatically) as IT, the SCHOOL, the BROTHERHOOD, and the COUNCIL. Furthermore many of these documents begin with the Announcement: “I, BROTHER OF THE ILLUMINATII, with the power decreed, do declare this Manifesto,” or with the salutation: “I, F. Illuminatii of the 12.”

This should certainly be food for thought! You may perhaps begin to understand why I have chosen to share this interesting information.

I’m going to share some information that comes from a magazine called “American Rosae Crucis” which was first published in 1916 by H. Spencer Lewis when he was starting up the Rosicrucian Order AMORC here in New York. This was a public magazine so I am not giving away any secrets so to speak. However, it seems that in a few issues of this magazine he spoke perhaps a bit too clearly about some things of interest, things that might be helpful to us.

But some of this might also trigger people and lead to an incorrect picture of the Rosicrucian Order AMORC as it exists today and of which I am still a member. The Rosicrucian Order AMORC is mystical and philosophical. It’s ultimate goal is to lead its members to that mystical state called Cosmic Consciousness or Christ Consciousness where you experience being one with all that exists. In my years of study and membership I believe that I have received a very thorough training in what I would call objectivism philosophy. Everything is based upon the importance of moving toward the Spiritual Light and the achievement of what others call the crossing of the Great Abyss.

My own path, which I call Organic Gnosticism, really has nothing in common with what I learned in the Rosicrucian Order. Organic Gnosticism is more concerned with the mechanical process of developing the soul through the development and permanent activation of all the astral bodies including the formation of a strong connection to both the Spiritual Light and the Womb of Creation. There is no conflict between Organic Gnosticism and AMORC, they simply teach different things.

In a similar manner there seems to be no connection between the mystical path of Rosicrucianism and that of Druidry. Druidry is based upon developing a solid connection with mother earth, the underworld or other world and nature while Rosicrucianism is based upon developing a solid connection the the Spiritual Light.

Having said this I have no reason to doubt what is said in these early issues of the “American Rosae Crucis”. Some was later repeated in advanced lessons and some was not.

The Order had its conception and birth in Egypt. The Egyptians had reached a high state of civilization that was comparable to the Renaissance in France. There was a great effort to preserve the knowledge so that it might be given to future generations. But the more profound secrets of nature, science and art were not to be entrusted to the masses and classes were formed by the most learned, and attended by the most select minds to teach these subjects. Over time the members of such assemblies became more and more select, the teachings became more profound and the discussions so dialectic that there arose a most autocratic and secret society of the truly great minds of the day.

The first Pharaoh who conducted this class in his private chambers was Ahmose I who reigned from 1580 BCE to 1557 BCE. He was known by some historians as the “deliverer of Egypt”.

Before we continue with this little history let’s take a step back and look at the big picture and what we know today. From DNA genealogy we know that the Egyptian Pharaohs, or at least some of them, belonged to haplogroup R1b which originated in mystery somewhere north of the Caucasus mountains and burst into what became ancient Sumer and Egypt.

So immediately after the war that destroyed the Anunnaki civilization around 3,000 BCE this group of primitive warriors arrived in Egypt and founded not only the first dynasty of Pharaohs but also founded the world’s first and greatest mystery school? Where did they get this secret knowledge? Did they have it before they arrived? Were they in contact with non-physical Anunnaki? Or did they rediscover where it had been hidden deep inside Egypt?

This seems to be evidence that haplogroup R1b, which is the most common haplogroup in modern Europe, is an Anunnaki-Human Hybrid! An Anunnaki soul in a human physical body.

I have absolutely no idea where this rabbit hole is going to go so buckle your seat belts! I’ve received some recent insights and began researching new material. Let me be straight about this, I have a lot of resources available to me that most people don’t have, but I’m also uncovering more all the time. No one is telling me these things. I need to come up with them myself.

But one thing remains constant. The most important thing is the development and permanent activation of all possible astral bodies including the etheric body. Once this happens things become magickal. And this is purely a mechanical process that unfolds naturally over a period of time as the result of hard work and personal effort.

First let’s kind of take an overview of what we’ve learned so far. The Anunnaki were an extraterrestial group of non-physical souls that came here a long time ago and gradually learned how to possess ancient humans and finally learned how to incarnate into the native physical human bodies.

The Anunnaki split into two groups, one, led by Enki, that wanted to not only explore life as physical humans but also do soul level explorations of the lower astral and etheric planes. The Anunnaki were primarily a mystical and highly evolved species that had their Ultimate Power Source as the Spiritual Light. They did not have access to the lower levels and therefore needed native humanity to manifest things for them. Native humanity had the required connection to the lower levels and believed in reincarnation and an underworld or other world or Summerland which was their terms for the etheric inclusive levels of soul development.

The other faction led by Enlil wanted to keep a strict separation between the native humans and their own species. This was true even when they modified human DNA and began to incarnate into physical human bodies themselves. They had no interest in developing an earth connection or exploring the lower levels. At one point this group wanted to totally eradicate human life from this planet and created a massive cosmic incident that killed off all humanity except for a small group in eastern Africa and another group in the Balkans and Aegean basin area.

Over a long period of time both groups expanded and mingled to create advanced technology alien Anunnaki based civilizations upon this planet. This took many thousands of years and these alien based civilizations spread all over the earth. Most of them enslaved the primitive native human populations and used them as a work force. Of course the bulk of primitive humanity lived in the wild on its own as hunter gatherers.

An increasing friction between the two Anunnaki factions over the fate of the native humans ultimately resulted in a final confrontation of mutual destruction around 3,000 BCE when the Anunnaki civilizations wiped each other out leaving only those remnants of Anunnaki who had incarnated in human physical bodies. The fabled civilization of Atlantis in western Africa was wiped out as was the fabled civilization that at one time existed in the Balkans. This was also the time when massive events occurred in human populations around the world and the tropical paradise of northern Africa became the Sahara desert of today.

This is also the time of the invention of reading and writing as the Anunnaki survivors scrambled to save sacred knowledge before it was lost forever. This was the time of the raising of the stone monoliths and circles like Stonehenge. I’ve written about these things before but I forgot a major piece of the puzzle.

In addition to the native primitive humans and the enhanced Anunnaki humans who existed in physical bodies there also existed Anunnaki and Reptilian souls or entities that existed without physical human bodies and these entities remained in contact with those souls in physical bodies! One of the most important things to all peoples became the ability to either communicate with the higher spiritual beings that existed in the Spiritual Light or the ability to communicate with the reptilian beings that existed at the lower levels and were able to physically manifest things through magick.

In our simplistic way we have called them collectively angels and demons! But as those extraterrestrial souls of both Anunnaki and Reptilian origin incarnate in physical bodies began to develop their own astral bodies things began to change. Those reptilians with a strong connection to mother earth, to Gaia gained the ability to inhabit the higher planes. The Anunnaki with a strong connection to the Spiritual Light gained the ability to inhabit the lower astral levels.

3,000 BCE when the Anunnaki civilization destroyed itself the existing human race needed to reset itself and those with advanced knowledge tried to find ways to ensure its continued existence. This was the beginning of the Order or the first mystery school. This is what we are now going to explore.

The last thirty years of my life have seen me gradually developing and permanently activating my astral bodies from the top down. I’ve written about this before. The etheric level is the lowest and the last or is it?

I’m going to share something I’ve never shared before about my soulmate cycles as I’ve called them. During each cycle there was a point reached where I had extremely strong visions of my partners DNA splitting away from her current partner and then merging with mine like a zipper links up. In other words these cycles were not just about chakra energies but somehow each cycle involved a complete splitting and resequencing of a DNA strand. There was a ladder like formation in the astral and the vision was very powerful!

This was always involved with some very violent astral battles with the person she was currently genetically linked to! As the cycle progressed she gradually split away from her current partner and began joining up with me link by link. That is why these cycles were so intense and many took so long as each lower electron ring had more awareness points that were involved.

Each cycle created its own DNA link between me and my partner in the astral planes! That link was permanent and still remains. But new links with new partners always appeared that seemed to follow the same unfolding pattern with a new type of energy that was deeper and closer to the earth. That’s all I can really say about it.

We have 23 chromosome pairs and the only conclusion that I can come to is that each of these soulmate cycles involved the splitting and resequencing of a different chromosome pair that in turn gave birth to a permanently activated new astral body for me.

Does that mean we have 23 possible astral bodies? I have no idea and that is why I have never brought this up before. Things are complicated enough at it is. But as time goes on and I travel my own path of soul growth I’m finding this study of DNA, especially ancient DNA which I carry within my body, to be of extreme interest to me.

Perhaps I can tap into the vital life force of my ancestors? Perhaps I can tap into the resources of past lives? All I know is that the deeper I go down this rabbit hole the deeper and more powerful my connection to Mother Earth becomes!

As I study DNA science I realize that this splitting of an entire ladder and recombining full spectrum with another person is only represented with the X and Y chromosomes themselves and not the other 22 so the mystery remains. I am inclined to believe that our X and Y chromosomes exist independently in all seven electron rings and that is what I have experienced in these cycles.

It is quite possible that while I am sharing a new bond of the X and Y chromosome with my partner all other chromosomes are being shared as well. Now that I think of it, I’m certain that is what happens! The sharing becomes complete and we are actually inside each others astral bodies and sharing them at different points in the cycle.

Learning about my ancient DNA and where is comes from and its history and evolution seems to be the next phase of integration for me right now. There are many mysteries and what I thought I knew at times does not match with what is now known or considered. For example haplogroup G which I belong to has its greatest existence in the modern world in North Osettia which is no the north side of the Caucasus mountains. Haplogroup R2b mysteriously arises out of the same area and doesn’t seem to share much with haplogroup G. But how can two groups of people live in the same area and not be connected in some way? Haplogroup G is the older group and still lives in that area today. Haplogroup R2b went out and conquered western Europe! Go figure!

Actually my descendants migrated from the Caucasus mountains back to the Aegean basin where they once emerged from haplogroup F peoples. The R2b haplogroup went south to form the Egyptian dynasties of the Pharaohs. But both groups originated around the Caucasus mountains!

This is just kind of a personal update to show how my dream visions affect my daily life. But first a few words on the permanent activation of the various astral bodies. I think most people have a few of their astral bodies permanently activated but very few have all of them activated. I think it was last spring when my permanent connection to Gaia really became established and I’m sixty-five! I’ve spent most of my life activating these non-physical bodies.

What I know today about the development of these astral bodies makes me think that a person could do it in twenty years if they were in an intense program such as a martial arts school that focused on the cultivation of both the physical and the spiritual. But we don’t live in such a society.

Looking back on life it would have been nice to grow up with saunas, yoga or the martial arts, proper diet and personal hygiene. But I didn’t and have paid the price for it. A simple example would be the ability to touch my toes by stretching my hamstrings. I was never able to touch my toes without bending my knees and it would have been quite easy if I had stretched those hamstrings! The only reason I mention this is that the Druids probably had just such a program in place for their students. The healing of the soul and the integration of the Higher Self and Shadow take time. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication.

But we can easily have two or three astral bodies permanently activated and that is a good start! It is more than enough to give us some advantages over others. This includes the ability to work with dreams.

Several weeks ago I wrote about a dream in which the spot on my back which I believed to be skin cancer crumbled away. This growth or scab like area on my back was about the size of a half dollar and would not go away. I probably had it for perhaps seven years! As the dream foretold it is almost gone with only a small pencil lead sized bit remaining. The rest is fresh pink healthy skin. This is an example of a dream vision of the future that has come true. I had consciously been sending energy to that area and treating it with a salve.

But I would like to share a different type of dream vision that is almost even more interesting. This type of dream has happened several times but is uncommon. I dreamed of using a big spinning machine that revved up like a motorcycle engine and spun around. I had no idea of what it meant. Later during the day I got more involved in DNA geneology as I sought for the origins of the Druids and because of the dream and what I was reading decided to upgrade my DNA test from a 67 Y STR test to a Big Y test.

When I awoke that morning I had no intention or thought of upgrading my DNA test. But the dream was a powerful vision and believing in that vision I made my decision. The distinction being that this dream/vision did not predict the future but guided me to that future if that makes any sense. It is only because of that dream that I decided to do the upgrade.

This is the type of dream/vision in which I seek in my daily life for tangible clues that would explain it and guide me in the proper direction. This also is an example of how I allow my dreaming self to come forward as a guide to assist me through the day. I actively try to be guided by my inner guidance and my heart instead of being objective and rational about things and trying to force things with my own will.

Right now there seems to be two distinct areas of importance in my life, genetic research and Druid studies. They both seem to be tied together in an organic way. I don’t seem to have the energy or inclination for much else other than these posts!

Elephant, Trunk, Tusks, Forest, Jungle, Pachyderm

I never thought that I would be writing something like this post but here it is? What do you see in the above picture? A lion? A rabbit? A falcon? How many see an elephant?

But what if that elephant identifies as a lion? As a rabbit? As a falcon? What are we to do?

This subject came up in the unlikely place of conversing about Druids and the Order of Bards, Ovates & Druids. Does being a Druid only mean someone in the grade of Druid and is studying or has completed that work? Or can anyone that follows a Druidic path call themselves a Druid?

On the internet we find people that call themselves Dr.; Rev; Master; or any assorted titles. Some are from recognized institutions and and others are frankly simply made up! But these people identify themselves as such! What are we to do? I welcome responses to this question.
