MAHASEH BERASHITH

(Mahaseh Berashith: Hebrew for "The Work of Creation." A branch of the Qabalah that focuses upon the creation of the Universe by God. This is the primary focus of the Qabalah proper.)

Excerpts concerning ''Genesis'' from ''An Outline of Existence'' (1933) by Marjorie Livingston. From the Book of Truth in the Hall of Learning. Aashar priest of Rā, Zabdiel and the Hierophant with Apollonius of Tyana in the Temple of Truth guides. Marjorie Livingston transcriptrice. Philip De Vere editor and collator. Philip Medhurst publisher.

001 The First Creation radiated from God as an Aura of Magnetism, Energy, and Thought, and became the First Cosmic Radix and the Primordial Orbit of Created Life. . . The First Creation was possessed of cosmic consciousness. Its mind was One with the Parent Mind of the Father-Mother God. It was the issue of the First Act of Creation, which was Emanation. It now underwent the processes of individualisation and of expansion. Out of this sublime Reservoir of Pure Spirit . . there began to form individual nuclei. (Page 91)

002 . . . Light begat darkness, that the Positive gave rise to the Negative Principle, in order that, by co-ordination, they should produce experience, which is the foundation of Ecstasy. Absolute Light . . could have had no conscious existence. Only the comparison of darkness could have made it comprehensible to the mind. Absolute Good would have produced inertia within the evolving fœtus of the primal ego. (Pages 94-95) . . God . . is the Supreme Macrocosm, the Positive Principle. Emanating from this . . the . . Negative Principle. In this Aspect is embodied the Macrocosm. (Pages 100-101)

003 In the beginning, God. All Life is invested in Him, all knowledge, all intelligence, all consciousness. This is the Supreme Macrocosm, the Father-God, the Positive Principle. Emanating from this Aspect of the Being of all Life, is the Negative Aspect, the source of all Life, the Mother-God, or Negative Principle. In this Aspect is embodied the Microcosm, which contains within itself the potential faculties of the Parental Macrocosm. All Spirit, then, is of God, and is Immaculate. . . . Creation occurs where the great Principle of Life . . acquires . . individual consciousness. (Pages 100-101)

004 The ego grew slowly through many Ages into positive consciousness, and remained, as yet unborn, in the Matrix of the cosmic Mother, until its growth enabled it to suffer birth as a self-directing entity. Here began the cosmic Eden of which the Earth's Eden was a re-enactment. Spirit acquired form, or bodies, in which the vibrations of light and colour were creative elements, and which belong to a Dimension beyond your conception at present. The Divine Consciousness, individualised in Personalities, created an environment which was the First World. (Page 92)

005 . . (T)he earth . . stirred and pulsated with manifestations of life, but not with organic existence. Meantime, the Sons of God, the Children of the Sun, increased in number as a Race, drawing upon the vast Reservoir of Life, and giving the wherewithal for manifestation to individualising spirits. They inhabited the spheres of light which encircled the formless planes of earth. . . So the earth then was a sphere within a sphere. • The Earth plane . . in its inception, was a location for the expansion of consciousness. (Pages 113, 116)

006 . . (I)n the Beginning, the divine wisdom of God was within the fœtus of the ego; individualizing man sought expansion and experience. His impulse was from the Centre outward, upon the Arc of Involution . . The ego thus has two parallel lines of evolution before him, the evolution of the Spirit, still divine integrally, but still undeveloped as an intelligent unit, and the evolution of the body, by which he may acquire a form that will enable him to manifest in conditions that will furnish him with the experience necessary to the development of his Spirit. (Page 96)

007 . . Energy turned against the force of its own current and produced that cataclysm which was the origin of Evil. . . Beings . . used the divine Force within themselves to counter the Principle of divine Force Which was God. This act, through the velocity of the contact, projected them far into space. . . (H)ere was a race, divine in origin, imperfectly developed, and already encompassed by alien conditions. The perfect form in which these Personalities had clothed themselves . . was lost to them because the delicate vibrations . . were dispersed by the shock of collision of Forces. (Pages 91,92)

008 The band of partially-developed Spirits under a leader used their free-will . . to collide with the Immaculate Power of which they themselves were a part, and the chemical force of this collision projected them into conditions from which sprung the extreme density of matter. . . Here, the ego possesses a state of consciousness without a brain through which may function intelligence. This state implies no human form, though it may imply a certain degree of manifestation. . . (W)hen the time was ripe, he was enabled to manipulate the animal protoplasm and incarnate in a body formed of the elements of earth. (Pages 96-97)

009 There came into existence . . a race of imperfectly individualised Spirits who, having utilized their free will for purposes of rebellion, had been hurled, as a natural consequence of their own inverse action, into the outposts of matter, a state which was in itself an emanation of their own folly, and a part and parcel of their own subverted condition. • . . (T)he fallen Lord of Darkness . . became a creative lord, but he builded the dark spheres of the Lower Astral. . . (T)he structure of these . . is synthetic and shall not outlast the . . Celestial Fire. (Pages 100,150)

010 . . (T)hese Personalities . . were dependent upon the inherent creative power within themselves to provide themselves anew with the withal in which to manifest, and, since they had perverted the Divine Nature functioning within them, the forms in which they were able to clothe themselves suffered a like perversion. From being subtle, they became solidified in relation to their surroundings, from being magnetic, they became dense, and thus, through Ages of stupendous effort, there developed the First World of Matter. (Pages 92-93)

011 The Earth plane . . was . . for the expansion of consciousness. To it came upwards the fallen souls out of the darkness that they might avail themselves of the opportunities offered to them through the medium of incarnation into a body of flesh, and hither came also the young souls hitherto immune from aught but higher influences, that they might be given the test of evil contacts in order to try out the strength of their own nature. They were not forced to make this essay, these children if the Sun. They were sufficiently developed to use their own free-will. . . (Pages 116-117)

012 . . (C)hildren of the Sun . . were sufficiently developed . . to undertake this ordeal of their own wish and consent. Each individualising ego had learned that within the cosmos there are many tests and trials to be passed before the Microcosm may claim those attributes which are the prerogative of the Macrocosm. . . (W)hen the Sons of God came earthward, they came knowing . . the penalty of repeated failure. . . . (T)he divine Life . . withdraws. . . They were aware of their mission to the children of men, and of the importance of the secrets with which they were entrusted. (Pages 116-117,119,120)

013 The Earth planet, once of one body with the sun, separated itself from its centre in order to individualized, to become a separate planet. It is now complete within itself, yet dependent ever upon the parent source of its existence, moving in its orbit, and absorbing light and Life-Force. Just so,the individual ego sprang from God, and is become an entity, separate, yet dependent upon the Godhead, and an integral part of the cosmic system of Unity. Thus the Microcosm is ever symbolical of the Macrocosm. . . (Page 63)

014 The Earth itself is not so much a creation as an emanation. It was projected from the substance of the sun. . . (I)t is some six hundred million years of your own time, reckoning since the body of the earth first stirred within the matrix of the sun. . . So, within a period of time intelligible to the brain of man, a new planet was born into the universe. . . Its matter was purposely created gross and dense upon its inner planes, for it was dedicated as a Temple of Development for those wandering souls who had been participators in the "Fall". . .

015 Long before those planes, which to you are the material world, were sufficiently developed to produce the protoplasm necessary to the life-germ, the higher cycles of the Earth planet were replete with life. These realms you speak of now as the astral and etheric spheres, and they are actually surfaces, or globes, without your own earth-life, and encircling and containing it. . . (B)efore your own matter had cooled and crystallized, the outer planes of Earth were inhabited by such Beings as you would term Gods, or Supermen. (Page 63)

016 The Earth planet is composed of a number of surfaces, or cycles, each within the other. . . The population of the earth began at the outmost cycle, and worked, and in fact, is working still, inwards towards the vortex. The etheric realms of earth were inhabited at its inception by the children of the Sun, and, as their influence helped to cool the elements, and to shape matter into Form, so plane after plane became inhabited by Spirits who incarnated into its conditions, and whom you would call the Sons of God, or the Adamic Race. (Page 86-87)

017 . . (P)lane after plane became inhabited by Spirits. . . (T)his incarnation was spontaneous, the ego acquiring form from the material elements, and emerging in embryo, protected by its own fluidic auric ovoid . . and gaining substance by a spontaneous absorption of the chemical constituents within the ether. . . These Beings were divinely originated, and assumed form, or Incarnation, that they might be in affinity with the plane to which they were come. (Page 87)

018 These Beings were divinely originated. . . Their approach to the physical state was not purposeless. They came for their own Initiation, for their own trial and confirmation, for their experience and evolution of consciousness. They were also a link between the Creative Spirits and the planet of their creation. Their task was to penetrate from the Four-Dimensional region of their birth into a world of three-dimensional matter that they might aid in the development of those forms of Life which had sprung from the darkness and the void. (Pages 87-88)

019 A band of chosen Spirits . . became the Guardians of the Earth, working under a Supreme Ruler which is the Christ. . . They were . . Spirits who had incarnated upon the sun, and were come to assist in the preparation of the Earth for human occupation.To them was known the language of the stars, the science of sound and rhythm, and the wisdom of the Almighty Mind which is instilled into the cosmic fluids. When the surface of matter became habitable, they incarnated into it, not by physical birth, but by the spontaneous attraction of the elements of Earth. (Pages 62-63)

020 These Personalities had intercourse with the minds of Angels. They were able to watch the formation of their own world about them, and to apply the creative principles to the material world upon the inferior plane. Thus the forms of the Celestial World were reproduced in the terrestrial, but in the gross material of the physical earth. They worked in obedience to those Creative Spirits whose purpose was the formation of Order out of Chaos, the actual designing of a geographical sphere and the procreation of life which should be suitable to its conditions. (Page 88-89)

021 These Spirits worked in the power of the Most High, and under the direction of the Christ-Ruler. . . God created Heaven and Earth. This work was . . accomplished . . in seven cycles, seven Ages of cosmic life. When the work of formation had reached the earth's vortex, its existence as an individual planet became established, and its inhabitants became definitely integrated into its sphere of Being. Their task still lay in the work of evolving life in the spheres below their own. . . The First Garden was the Garden of the Lord. . . Eden . . existed within your planet. (Pages 89,90)

022 . . (U)nprogressed souls did not enter the earth for millions of years after its inception. It was in the possession of the Nature Devas of Fire, Water and Air, and controlled by the Sons of God who had journeyed with it from the body of the sun. These Spirits, or Gods, inhabited its outmost spheres; they were the Ruach Elohim who brooded upon the face of the Void. In the first place, then, the earth was formless according to physical acceptance of form. It consisted of terrestrial essences within, and Celestial Essences without. (Page 113)

023 . . (T)here was a Heavenly Eden . . and there was the earthly Eden . . a Garden in the earth's Asral, into which state had incarnated the children of the Sun, the individualising Spirits, or Gods. These were the Ray-Children, not born of flesh, but attracted to the Earth through Love. They came from the vast Reservoir of Life, seeking individualisation in the school of experience. . . (T)hey acted as the Ambassadors of God to aid the fallen race of mankind . . striving for . . development on the evolving planes. (Pages 105-106)

024 These Spirits worked. . . Their task . . lay in the work of evolving life. . . Some had charge over the mineral elements which existed far into the earth's interior. . . (T)o some was given ascendance over volcanic elements that they might build the mountains and design basins for the seas. Others worked upon the evolution of bird and insect life, whilst others directed the evolving of the animal into an organism that should eventually be used as a physical envelope for the elementary ego, incarnating from a lower sphere of life. (Page 89)

025 The Elements crystallized to form the Sphere of Earth, and brought forth the minerals that are of its substance. Upon this foundation, the waters condensed, and the vegetable kingdom sprang into manifestation. From the union of these kingdoms emerged the organic body, and from the vehicle of the animal form were drawn those juices that gave incarnation to the human soul. Lastly, within the human organism manifested Angelic Beings from the Divine World. . . (M)an is set between the two poles. . . From the one, he may gain experience, from the other, Immortality. (Pages 73-74)

026 Physical creation operates in inverse ratio to spiritual creation. All diversity of matter is the emanation of One Mind. Of your known cosmic populace, the Angels came first in the order of creation. From this Order, sprang the human race, whose volition led them into the crucible of experience. The animal world was created of a baser form of matter, and the natural Orders were consequent upon the formation of physical planets to accommodate the children of men. Creation proceeded from the Centre outward . . to produce . . chemical forms of increasing density. (Page 73)

027 . . Beings from a Four-Dimensional Sphere . . descended . . to manifest in a higher form of matter in order that they might aid in the Earth's development as a separate sphere, or planet, and to inspire and enlighten the progressing souls newly incarnating into matter. . . Many of those who live amongst you now come, as Guides have always come to you, out of the Spheres of Spirit, and from the astral world. These had made a voluntary descent in order that the great work of the earth plane might be accelerated. (Pages 61-62)

028 The Garden of Eden was not a physical actuality upon your present plane, but it was a material reality in the planes of etheric matter. Here, the Jehovah of the Hebrews and the Jove of Greek "Mythology" were enabled to walk with men "in the cool of the day" - in the period when the etheric plane of earth had cooled sufficiently after the "Day's" work of creation. . . (T)he Ether of the Earth became engrossened, so that this plane could no longer retain its high estate, but sank downwards and became incorporated with the present crust of the world. (Pages 85,86)

029 In those early days . . matter, as you know it, was evolving into form, and developing potentialities which enabled it to become the material body of higher and higher forms of evolutionary life. • The Earth was a mass of matter in solution, fiery, gaseous, steaming, rotating. . . Forces indiscernible to matter were controlling and directing all manifestation. A band of chosen Spirits, Archangels . . accompanied the evolving Earth on its journey from the sun. (Pages 59,62)

030 . . (P)lane after plane became inhabited by Spirits. . . Becoming, spiritually, from the Source of Infinite Life, they were created in the Image of God. Formed of the chemical material of the plane to which they were born, they were created of the dust of the ground. These were the offspring of the Marriage of Spirit with Matter. Their Fathers had been the children of the Sun, and they themselves were come to replenish the earth, to populate the etheric spheres of the new planet with Life in manifestation. And to them was given dominion over those forms of life which were seeking expression in matter. (Pages 87-88)

031 There was another race . . the spirits who had followed the Prince of Darkness in the Primal Fall, and had lost all individuality, all development of mind, and were evolving through the dimensions of consciousness till, with incarnation into the Earth, they arrived at a three-dimensional condition of existence. These were fleeing from . . their leaders. . . They constituted what is known as the sub-human race, the daughters of men. (Pages 144-145)

032 In those early days, human egos, or evolving intelligences, were incarnating into the astral planes which lie above and without the surface which is the crust of your material earth. . . (W)hen the animal kingdom was perfected, the physical organisms available were assembled by the divine-human Spirits in their process of individualizing. . . The intelligence of the animal never developed into a human intelligence. The latter is a direct radiation of the Divine, whilst animals . . belong to subsidiary lines of evolution . . the work of the Creative Lords. (Pages 59-60)

033 Man, led by the Dark Angel, created imperfection through the perversion of divine Essences. He became responsible for matter. Left to himself, there was no escape from its density, for he had created a monster he could not control. So the Father-God sent his Creative Lords to help those souls in darkness, to take their dense matter . . and manipulate it. . . So the Holy Elohim came into the darkness. . . And God said: "Let there be Light", and there was Light. (Pages 152-153)

034 . . (T)he work of the Creative Lords was not to build a Heaven, but an earth; not a Sphere of Exaltation, but a planet in the orbit of the sun . . to provide a plane of experience for those discarnate beings who had already reached the state of . . human souls. . . I am speaking of the species of humanity who evolved upon the earth plane, utilizing animal bodies as vehicles for incarnation and consequent development. . . (T)hose who inhabited the etheric planes . . were the inhabitants of Eden and of pristine Atlantis. (Pages 151-152)

035 The Creative Lords . . could but direct the Supreme Force of Life into form and manifestation, and this was their work. . . (T)he fallen Lord of Darkness had this knowledge, for he also was of like origin, but he had subjected himself to perversion. He also became a creative lord, but he builded the dark spheres of the Lower Astral. Yet, because the power he used was not true, but perverted, the structure of these spheres is synthetic and shall not outlast the test of Celestial Fire, but shall melt atom from atom . . and . . God . . shall weld them again. (Page 150)

036 . . (A)nimals, flowers, nature-spirits and minerals . . are the work of the Creative Lords, working in the divine Power and utilizing the divine Essences. All Life is the outpouring of the Celestial Energy, and is therefore the creation of God, but . . it is revealed in varying aspects, and these diverse forms of life are not to be confounded. • . . (T)he manifest Kingdoms are linked, "not by confusion of substance, but by unity". Each Order progresses upon its own separate line of evolution, but all emerged fundamentally from the same Source of Life, and all shall return eventually to the same destination. (Pages 60,68)

037 The consciousness of a monkey never developed into the intelligence of a man. Man's intelligence was evolving before animal life, in its physical form, appeared upon the Earth planet. The acquisition of a material body by a protoplasmic organism enabled the human ego to incarnate upon a new plane, and experience a new phase of existence. . . The first human ego that utilized the protoplasmic juices of the ape in order to incarnate, became the First Man. This was not the first human Soul; these had existed already in great numbers . . (Page 60)

038 The first human ego . . was the first evolving Intelligence to manifest in a physical body upon the present world of matter. The Earth, therefore, having sprung from the parent sun, and becoming a planet in the universe, had two separate and distinct types of inhabitants. The one was . . an unprogressed, evolving ego, emerging from Two-Dimensional conditions and incarnating into a Three-Dimensional world. The other inhabitants were Beings from a Four-Dimensional Sphere who descended through the Earth's etheric cycles . . (Pages 60-61)

039 The termination of this period known to you as the Garden of Eden coincided approximately with the commencement of your era of civilisation. . . • The ego . . was enabled to . . incarnate in a body. . . This, in Earth-life, was the Ascending Race, or Man; the Inhabitants of the Garden of Eden were the Descending Race, or "The Gods". • So there was a Heavenly Eden, the Macrocosm, where the first manifested Life was divided by the retrograde action of the first Free-will, and there was the earthly Eden, the Microcosm, where the first . . life was divided by . . "the Fall". (Pages 86,96-97,105-106)

040 The Soul of the World, released from the Womb of Time, was born with the birth of your Planet. Its first actions were primitive, as are the actions of a babe. It was guided by the Oversoul, the Lord of the World, and so it created organisms through which the imprisoned Spirit within the atom might exhale the breath of manifestation. So life began upon the earth, simple forms of life. The Soul of the World grew older . . and obeyed . . the Lords of Creation. (Page 167)

041 The Will is essentially positive and dynamic, and therefore masculine in quality. In the inner teaching of your Book of Law it is symbolised as the Man Adam. . . Adam symbolised the first True Man who trod upon the soil of your plane of Earth. He symbolised also in the Inner Mystery the faculty of the Will, the prerogative of the Children of God. The Greater Adam is the human Will. (Page 129)

042 The Greater Eve is the Feminine Principle, the receptive faculty, in whose womb matures the celestial seed of understanding that shall replenish the world. The lesser Eve was the desire in man's heart which led him to oppose the Power which had created him. • Eve . . may covet the fruit of Knowledge, which is POWER. . . Adam . . by eating puts into action that which the Desire-nature has conceived, thus . . Disobedience is consummated. (Pages 130,138)

043 . . (T)he Lord God gave unto Adam, the first generated soul, a Wife. And the Wife which He gave unto him was drawn from the essence of his own Being, and she imparted the faculty of Equilibrium, and became the first negative, or receptive Principle. . . (T)he Lord God . . permitted the separation of the ego into two Personalities, or the translation of the Law of Equilibrium into the Law of Sex. (Pages 130,131)

044 The lesser Adam, with his wife, the lesser Eve, being aspects of the Greater Adam, still maintained the balance of polarity within their own constitution. • In the World of the Unmanifest, the One is All-sufficing. In the first World of Manifestation the Two is expedient . . and shall be re-absorbed into Unity in the Last Cycle of Evolution. So, in the simple history of the First Lovers is concealed a great cosmic Mystery. (Pages 131,132)

045 Adam, the cosmic Principle, is the positive power of human will. The cosmic Eve is the matrix of human desire. Adam the man, and Eve the woman, possessed, and still possess within themselves, both will and desire. The story of the Fall is the story of the degradation of pure desire into perverted desire, and of free-will into self-will. (Page 132)

046 The Greater Eden is a state of Being, and not a country. . . The lesser Eden was a land adjacent to your own Earth, and the lesser Adam dwelt within it, not one man alone, but a Race from which you yourselves are descended. • . . (T)he Greater Eden is the Manifest World, of which the microcosmic form is complete in each soul, and of which the Macrocosmic Form is called Nirvāna. (Pages 129,130,133)

047 The lesser Eden was relatively geographical in its conditions. It was formed of the unifying influence of Mind upon matter, and was an extension of the individual aura re-acting upon the aura of the Earth. Within the Garden, there grew two Trees, the Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life. • The Tree of Life is a Plant of the World of Atziloth and belongs to the Absolute. The Tree of Knowledge is of the Briatic, or First Relative, World. (Pages 133-134,135)

048 The Greater Tree of Life is the supreme Emblem of Cosmic Being, and its Branches are the Ten Holy Sephiroth, the Great Hierophants of the Living Mysteries. The Roots of the Tree are set in the soil of matter, whilst the topmost Branch is hidden within the Unmanifest, the Supernal World. . . Its Roots reach to the hells, its Branches to the ends of the Cosmos, and its Summit to the Uttermost and the Unbegotten. (Page 134)

049 . . (T)he Tree of Life is the Primordial Soul, or God. . . The lesser Tree of Life is the Spine of Adam. It is the spinal column of man, the duct for the Prânic Juices which flow out through the branches, or chakrās, and nourish the human organism with the Immortal Essence. It is rooted in that which is material, whilst its apex reaches to that hidden centre within the brain, whence . . man . . may communicate with the Unmanifest. . . (Page 134)

050 The Tree of Knowledge is the Emanating Soul, or Individualisation. The roots of knowledge are in matter, the branches reach out into Existence, whilst the Summit is lost within the Veil of the Mysteries. The lesser Tree of Knowledge is the Mind of Adam. Its roots are set in science, its branches are the ten senses . . the . . centres . . which operate the psychic and physical bodies and involve the entire body and brain. (Page 134-135)

051 The Serpent abode within the Tree of Life, and his body scaled the Branches thereof. . . (O)f the living creatures who attained manifestation upon the Earth, the one which was created in spiral form was designated The Serpent. . . (T)he Serpent, whom you have called Wisdom, represented those forces inherent within the nature of Adam, which, inherited from the Macrocosm remained latent within the microcosm. The Spiral represents . . lawful progress, but the rotation may follow the natural flow . . or it may oppose this Current by reversing. (Pages 137,138)

052 . . Adam was given dominion over every living thing, but he did not exert his power to control the Serpent. . . So the Serpent, through the instrumentality of Eve, tempted Adam to disobedience, and partook of his Fall. . . (N)ow, because he tempted Man, is he condemned to the limbless coil of matter. . . So the Wisdom of the Gods is degraded. . . Intellect is imprisoned in the cage of materialism. . . From the fangs of the Serpent issue those poisons, which, undefiled, might have been the Inoculations of the Elixir of Life. (Pages 140,141,142)

053 . . (T)he fruit of the Tree of Knowledge had not ripened. . . It was newly planted in the new Garden of the World. Nor was its fruit easy of digestion to the young soul of Adam. . . (T)he Fruit of this Tree is symbolical of the juices within the body, and its seeds epitomise the creative forces within the mind of man. . . (I)n order to force his own development and to acquire the creative power of the Overlords, Man perverted the juices within his own body. (Pages 138,140)

054 Knowledge of good and evil may be attained only by experience. . . Adam did take and eat. Because the fruit had not ripened and the seeds were immature, the creations of Adam were abortive, and he became conscious of his nakedness before the Lord God. . . Perversion has no substance in the eyes of the Lord God. So the Lord God gave unto him coats of skin, that is, a body of incarnation, a body like . . the animal that is clothed with skin. (Page 140)

055 The descent of Adam into matter was not a sudden cataclysm but a gradual decline. Incarnation degenerated into the physical process of which the prophecy was spoken: "In sorrow shalt thou bring forth children". . . Man, having debased the Celestial Essences . . sank . . into . . earth . . and God . . set an Angel to guard . . the Fruits of the Mysteries. For, because . . God . . beheld . . the curse which Knowledge had become . . He intervened . . to stay a crazy humanity. . . (Page 147)

056 . . (T)he Sons of God descended to the plane of the daughters of men. . . (T)here dwelt upon the Earth a primitive race, and . . many æons later, there appeared in your world an evolved and independent Race, or the First True Men. . . Co-ordination of matter into form had not progressed to the extent . . in your present day. It was the contact of the races, each with other, that assisted in the formation of the material earth. (Pages 143,145)

057 Man took one fruit from the Tree of Knowledge, and having eaten, learned of the juices which were within himself, and the secrets of perversion. . . Wherefore, when it is written that the Sons of God looked upon the daughters of men and they were fair, there is implied no beauty of outward form, but a means of gratification of a perverted desire. . . (T)hey . . strayed from the destined Orbit of their being. (Page 148)

058 The children of the Sun, approaching the earth, were vouchsafed bodies in which to manifest. They were not physical bodies such as you possess today, but they were organic, and so corresponded . . to . . matter. This Race was sent to help the children of the Earth, wresting with their first incarnation into flesh. Therefore, the Sons of God, glutted wantonly with a knowledge they had stolen and could not digest, strayed from the . . Orbit of their being. (Page149)

059 To the super-terrestrial boundaries of the planet's higher population is given the name Eden in Allegory, and in history, Atlantis. Within the Earth's present surface, the fires were cooling, matter was evolving, atom combining with atom in ceaseless experiment until there was produced a vehicle of sentient life. The Creative Lords worked in the knowledge of divine Law, and evolution advanced according to divine Plan. (Pages 149-150)

060 . . (T)he Father-God sent his Creative Lords to help those souls in darkness, to take . . dense matter which they had produced and to manipulate it into a sphere wherein they might learn the Law of God, and redeem themselves through His love, and regain, eventually, the Divine World which they had lost. • Out if the atomic dust of the universe . . God created the earth . . and . . evolved a body that should clothe the human soul during its period of incarnation. (Pages 133,154)

061 . . (I)n the days of Eden . . the earth possessed two spheres of activity, the outer containing the inner, the Etheric encircling the material upon which was forming the earth's crust. The geography of the Earth was formed first in this etheric world and its character was impressed upon the earth's surface. . . • . . (T)o this the Adamic Race descended and became subject to the exigencies of matter and to the laws of a three-dimensional world. (Pages 155-156,158)

062 . . Eden fell out of heaven and became incorporate in matter. . . The belt of etheric substance that was about the earth crystallized and contracted so that it became a part of the earth's crust, and subject to the laws of physical nature. It was this land that brought forth tares and thistles in a literal sense as well as in the inner meaning that the new world, or Mind of Adam, gave birth to that which was hurtful and destructive. . . Yet the Garden of the Lord remained in heaven, the reward of man's regeneration. (Page 164)

063 . . (T)he Adamic Race were the first inhabitants of your earth whom you would regard as human. At this time, the earth crust was formed, and the conditions were favourable to life, and animal forms were already considerably evolved. The Sons of Adam, incarnating as Immortals . . brought Memory. So the Adamic Race in the primitive world worked ceremonial rituals, erected Temples, and disseminated knowledge. (Page 159)

064 The Sons of Adam . . found themselves no longer free-men, but held in bondage to the earth, bound by gravitation to its surface, answerable to its laws, and limited mentally by the poor capacity of the physical brain. They earned their bread by the sweat of their brow, and the earth brought forth thistles. . . If human brain-cells had not been created . . then must madness have ensued. . . (O)nly the functioning consciousness could inhabit the mortal body. . . (T)he greater portion of the ego remained still in the mental state. (Page 159)

065 The Adamic Race peopled a vast continent that stretched athwart your ocean and spread its tentacles through the fertile valley of the Mediterranean and through lands in western Asia. This was Atlantis, a continent born of heaven in obedience to the laws of physical science which rule the coagulation of substance and the formation of matter. This . . occupied æons of mundane time. The fall of Adam was . . the gradual work of ages. (Pages 164-165)

066 The Adamic Race, by their continuous practices and the abasement of their mind, created conditions that were in affinity with the conditions of physical earth, and, since affinities are subject to a gravitational draw, they became incorporate with the earth. . . (C)hemists may gather elements from the air, and . . may convert them into solids. It was this transmutation that was suffered by the Sons of God in their incarnation, and by their world in its involution. (Page 165)

067 Upon the continent of Lemuria, forms of life had been evolving since the foundation of the world, and the daughters of men had long since possessed themselves of the physical bodies of incarnation, evolved by the animal world from the vital properties in matter. For æons this great race had existed. . . The children of the Original, or First, Fall had progressed through many states of purification, and were manifesting in the conditions of a Third Dimension. (Pages 165-166)

068 . . (I)t is written that the Sons of God united with the daughters of men. . . The state of your world at the present day is most interesting. There are still a few souls emerging upon it out of a Two-Dimensional condition, but these are now comparatively few; most have already incarnated into a Three-Dimensional aspect of life and are ripe to learn the lesson of the Earth, which is Sacrifice. . . At rare intervals, there is an Incarnation of a great and holy Spirit, and within your own era came the Manifestation of the Lord of the World. (Page 61)

069 . . (T)he Sons of God were Spirits of comparatively recent Individualisation who approached the earth sphere for such experience as would assist the order of their evolution. It was from these there emanated the Adamic, or greater human race. These spirits were answerable to the Lords or Oversouls in contact with the plane, who, in turn obeyed the will of the blessed Archangels, the Messengers of the supreme God. (Page 144)

070 The Kingdoms you call Atlantis and Lemuria originally belonged to Fourth-Dimensional Planes, and became crystallized through long ages until, for a while, they were actually material upon your present world. • The Atlanteans taught of such celestial matters as they remembered, and the race of sub-men understood inadequately. . . (I)t is written that Eve . . brought forth Cain and Abel, and Cain . . slew his brother. So Self-will slew . . the divine Will. . . So his bondage to matter was confirmed, and he was shut off from the Psychic World. (Page 59, 176)

071 Before the world was formed, the essential constituents of organic life were within the chemical ingredients of matter. Within each particle of the atom . . was a modicum of Spirit, or Force of Life. The Spirit was active within them, but it was a vital force, not a cohesive force. The Spirit is Absolute, and not Manifesting. The manifesting force is the Soul which represents the attributes of Spirit in expression. (Pages 166-167)

072 . . (T)he expression of Life extended, and . . there emerged smaller groups of higher development, and thus more complex aspects of nature acquired a state of Being. Then, because dense matter was . . the work of men's hands . . the faculty of Disobedience stirred in the Soul of the World and . . obeyed the urge of Self. . . So, by reason of the original sin of Disobedience . . the womb of the Earth brought forth tares and thistles, and reptiles were born of her, and loathsome beasts and stinging insects. (Pages 167-168)

073 . . (T)he Soul of the World . . obeyed the urge of Self, even as Adam, even as . . Lucifer. . . (T)he Oversoul beheld these things . . but He might not stay the hand of those who wrought in perversion. . . (T)o over-rule man's free-will is to tamper with the Powers of God. So the Lord of the World identified Himself with the world, and sought of His own pure Nature to purify its perversions . . that Life might endure and manifestation prevail. . . So cohesive life prevailed. (Pages 168-169)

074 . . (T)he Lord of the World . . in those days of the Earth's inception, was . . nailed of His own free-will and accord upon the Cross of Matter that His Blood might flow through the veins of the world . . that the Earth might preserve its orbit in the universe, and the purpose of its creation be fulfilled. Jesus the Carpenter gave his life upon the Altar of Agony that through this stupendous cosmic truth might be borne in upon the minds of men. (Pages 168-169)

075 It is the Embodiment of the Oversoul within the processes of matter, and the presence of His Life-blood within the arteries of the world which is the true Sacrament, and of this Truth every ceremonial Feast is an emblem, not in your Christian world alone, but within all forms of worship, and before the pages of your history came to be written. So cohesive life prevailed, and forms evolved, and the Animal Kingdom became an established realm of Nature. (Page 169)

076 The Earth was not in itself the innocent scapegoat. The fall of Lucifer had broken the dam of creative Power and loosed upon the cosmos a torrent of alchemical properties which . . primordial Man had perverted into . . decay and death. The universe became sodden with these vitiated juices. . . The Soul of the World, therefore, led by the Lord of the World, presented a sphere wherein death should be translated into Life, . .poisons should become balm, and . . mortal regain Immortality. (Page 170)

077 . . (T)he perverted emanations of mind projected by the children of darkness took form within evolving matter. . . Every phase of Nature exhibited self-love and self-will. Large vegetable growths preyed upon the lesser and overgrew them. Larger animals fed upon the smaller. . . Bird and beast killed wantonly for the lust of killing, and when primal man came to inhabit the bodies of the beasts, he, too, killed and tortured and knew no God but Self. (Pages 171-172)

078 The first step in the regeneration of Self-will is Service, and the regeneration of Desire is Love. . . Eve, the Desire-force, who had led Adam to Death, now taught him also the Way of Life. This Eve had not known the Eden of the Upper Earth, the Eden of the Adamic Race, but she had known the primordial Eden of God before the sons of Lucifer had led her forth into the dominion of darkness. (Pages 172-173)

079 Eve . . finding herself . . clothed in the physical body of skin . . used her new-found powers, and brought forth other souls out of the darkness into the twilight of Incarnation. This was the First Service . . So the first sub-man and . . sub-woman began their first lesson in service through the means of their parenthood. . . Thus was populated the great continent of Lemuria, . . and the Earth was peopled with . . the daughters of men. (Pages 172-173)

080 . . (A)t this time . . new People appeared upon the earth, the Atlantean, or first True Men. These were the sons of Adam, the scions of the Adamic Race. . . The Gods had walked with their fathers in the cool of the Day (of Creation). . . Adam was a man. . . His fall was relatively superficial. . . His loss . . was . . the suspension of . . the psychic nature. He no.longer beheld the Gods Who had walked with him in the Garden. They became a memory . . brought . . into the brain of incarnation. (Page 174)

081 Within the aura, or etheric planes, of each planet dwell highly-developed Personalities who obey the commands of the Ruler of the planet, even as He obeys the Holy Laws of the Supreme God. . . The Sons of God in Atlantis were enabled to behold these Personalities. They were their Initiators in the Cosmic Rites. They were Kings and Princes, and they accepted as Manifestations of God . . Entities whom you now call "pagan gods". . . (Pages 179-180)

082 The early inhabitants of your earth were . . composite in nature, and were in touch psychically with an immense gamut of forces, both good and evil. The faculty of memory inherited by the Atlanteans led them to pursue various practices which had been their habit in the days of their purity. Inspired by the voice of their Guiding Spirits, they built Temples and founded Mystery-Schools . . and sought contact with that which they had lost. (Pages 180-181,183)

083 . . (T)he Atlanteans . . built Temples . . but their nature had suffered contamination, and they failed to keep them pure. They worshipped those Beings whom they recognized as Masters and Overlords, but they began to endow them with human qualities, and even with human sins. They bandied about the sacred Names, attaching them to ribald tales and defiling them in debased rituals. Therefore the inhabiting Spirits withdrew from the form of their Names, leaving the empty shells. (Pages 180-181)

084 . . Spirits withdrew from the form of their Names. . . Nevertheless these vehicles . . still remained among the people, and through the Ages . . there were Sages and Philosophers and Magi who, doing honour to the sacred memories, were able to invoke the Spirit to return and manifest again to man. Therefore, from its earliest inception, the world never lacked a positive link with its Creator, nor were the sheep of God ever left shepherdess. (Pages 180-181)

085 The Adamic Race . . sought contact . . with . . the Astral World, by means of ceremonial ritual which produced powerful phenomena. . . Man . . invoked the Spirits of Power and Majesty, but he invoked them by such means as their essential holiness could not contact. Therefore there responded to his invocations the negative aspect of the Angels of Power, the Lords of Darkness. • So the Priests . . offered obscene oblations . . in illegitimate ceremonial. (Pages 182-183)

086 . . (T)he evil Ceremonials persisted in through the years actually reacted upon the elemental forces of Nature, and were instrumental in bringing about the cataclysm which destroyed Atlantis. The physical causes of the submersion of the continent were natural causes, but they reacted to man's power over Nature, a power which man has almost lost in consequence of his mis-use of his prerogative. (Page 189)

087 The perversions of man had been of so vile a nature that the very earth, the products of the earth, and its vegetation were saturated in evil vibrations. . . (R)ank and poisonous growths flourished everywhere, and . . pestilential weeds encumbered the ground. . . (T)he crops were blighted. . . Within the houses, disease and luxury vied for supremacy, while starving slaves died. . . Such were the conditions of the last days of Atlantis. (Pages 192-192)

088 History would give you the Bible story in a different form. Atlantis and Lemuria were destroyed . . in a series of cataclysms of a volcanic nature. "Noah" is the name Tradition has given to the remnant of the Atlantean Race . . who had chosen God. Because they had . . proclaimed Him Lord, they were able . . to depart before the catastrophe . . that was . . the natural product of the causes man himself had set in motion. (Pages 190-191)

Bridges Organization International Math and Art conference: Presenting the Unity Codex from both a visual and mathematical perspective to the Bridges Organization in 2019.

The Flexagon, a Bridge between the Polarized and Dualistic Dimension Reversing Nature of the Cube and the Octahedron Abstract In an attempt to understand the fundamental paradoxes of space and form and the working dynamics of parts and wholes, a set of underlying relational equations and formative architectural dualities became apparent. The following paper is an exploration of that relational geometry expressed as an embedded array of dual polytopes with increasingly concentric spheres of polar reciprocity, each defining the others dimensional perspective. Synopsis: Geometrically, this underlying pattern looks like a nested array of embedded polygons whose edges define a set of increasingly concentric spheres through polar reciprocity. Additionally, there is a dimension reversing interaction between the levels of these concentric spheres that have interesting physical and metaphoric properties when expressed in form as generalized n-dimensional dual polytopes. The toroidal movement of this structure will be explored later in the paper as the initial 2D symbol is expressed in 3D and the mechanism of its movement can be explored. Ultimately, this will illustrate the flexahedron as a conversion bridge between the dual polytope expression of the cube and octahedron. While metaphoric in nature, this symbol is potent in its ability to hold abstract and oftentimes paradoxical thoughts in harmony. Its aesthetic and mathematical properties may interest this conference and colleagues of math and art as it traverses dimensions and unfolds below. For inquiry, I have modeled out the perfect use case scenario where the Duality Gap between divergent layers has been set to 0.

(a) (b) (c) Figure 1: Unifying Principle (a) 2D, (b) 3D Isometric View (c) 3D front view Nested within the cube in figure 1 are both the concentric circles that define its inner and outer boundaries, as well as a dual octahedron that is formed in the negative space and edges of the cube. The dynamics of figure 1a illustrate a relationship of coherence, where the duality gap of apparent spheres is minimized allowing for the optimized number of embedded spheres to collectively emerge.

Representing the mechanics between and within the spheres, the 45-45-90 Isosceles Triangle emerges from a planar view as shown in figure 2b and forms the polygon faces that transform the spheres from one layer to the other. In the 2D, figure 1a, there are 16 isosceles triangles that will be used to construct the 3D printed flexahedron in figure 6. Two of these paired sides of will be used as concave and convex triangle pyramids to form the dual sided pairs of the tetrahedron with a hinge point/rod at their planar edges.

1 In mathematical optimization theory, duality or the duality principle is the principle that optimization problems may be viewed from either of two perspectives, the primal problem or the dual problem. The solution to the dual problem provides a lower bound to the solution of the primal (minimization) problem. Their difference is called the duality gap. Geometrically this mathematical principle has been explored through the pairing of Dual Polyhedrons, where “the vertices of one shape correspond to the faces of the other, and the edges between pairs of vertices of one shape correspond to the edges between pairs and faces of the other.” One defining the other in a co-creation of space and ultimately form. What I find fascinating about this inquiry is not only it’s beauty and metaphoric power to explain the nature of duality, but also the physical mechanics and confines of its structure once constructed. I continued to see physical properties within the initial symbol that pointed to its ability and function to turn itself inside-out and outside-in. Structurally, if the geometry of the 2D figure 1a is true, then the model should be able to find a way to turn itself inside out, along the polygon faces illustrated in 2a. Between the inner box and the outer box, the Initial Symbol seems to have both a cube and a torus, inverting itself from inside out and outside in. When modeling the initial symbol in 3D, this is exactly what we see...

Almost... Following the road of this simple geometry has been a challenging journey. It required transcoding a 2D symbol into a 3D model in order to understand the complexities of the polyhedrons it constructed; and then again translating that 3D model of perceived dual polyhedrons back into a flat 2D model so I could understand how the faces of the polygons tessellate with one another. All this so I could print a 3D model and confirm the mechanics and capacity for both involution and revolution between parts, i.e. concentric circles. Staying with the geometry, Figure 5a below shows the structure of the proposed flexa-octahedron enfolding from outside/in while illustrating the vortex fields of its rotation in figure 5b. Notice in 5c the polarized concentric circles showing the toroidal fields vertices produced by each of the polygon edges. The vertex of each polygon transverses from the center radius to the outer edge of the figure and back in.

In order to print and see the underlying mechanisms and 3d structure of the 2d symbol in figure 1a, two base pair tetrahedrons are placed edge to edge with one another with a hinge between their edges. You can see this in the 8 tetrahedrons of the 3d model in figure 6a below, or the 16 isosceles triangle pyramids that are their polar half shells, as represented in figure 1a above. Rather than print the model using solid tetrahedrons, I constructed each of them using two polarized sides that join together to form each of its four faces. This is important as it illustrates the phase shift in the final figure from one polarity to the next as it unfurls and will be useful in future application. Strung together along the hinge points of their edges, two tetrahedrons come together to form their octahedron counterparts that is then connected with four other octahedrons forming a closed loop dual phase circuit.

Summary and Conclusions Upon its construction, it was interesting to see two cubes of the same size go out of phase with one another and yet remain connected, occupying the same space and informing both the movement and structure of the other. In addition to the toroidal mechanics of its structure and unique expression of the polarized and dualistic dimension reversing nature of its form, I believe it’s worthy of follow-up inquiry. So, what’s it do? That is the $1^10 question. Looking for funding or to join a research team and explore that together. Initial implications point to art, material sciences, fluid dynamics and system theory, consciousness research and AI architecture, aerospace, encryption and data compression, quantum computing, awakening and singularity studies .

1+8=9. The number 9 means completion as in months of pregnancy. 9 resembles the ANKH and has a connection to planet Venus because - The Ankh and symbol for Venus look alike ☥ 👈👉 ♀ They are one in the same. These symbols are allegorical and symbolical of our Creator, a COM-ET, which has a Head, Nucleus and Tail/Ass. The Ankh is pure Feminine Energy! The Ankh is an ancient amulet, wand and hieroglyph that symbolizes life, creation and eternity. Thus, the ANKH is the 2 dimensional slice of the 3 dimensional Immaculate Conception of the Mother's womb, pregnant with the egg of a KRST(CHRIST) soul. Her sacred sphere/loop represents the pregnant fertile womb of mankind which contains the developing fetus of KRST Heru(Hero). The lower shaft represents the cosmic vortex of the life canal for the seed of Ra-Heru to be born. The Queen Mother Goddess Auset or ISIS is the first that they say to immaculately conceive a child. She represents the first Icon of the Mother and Child equaling to Ma-Sun (Mason) and Ma-Re (Mary). I am my mothers sun . The ancient societies believed that children were conceived by the Sun 🌞 which is a process called PARTHENOGENESIS. Look it up . So all births were immaculately conceived in the ancient days. There is much historical reference that the original Womb+Ma+N was androgynous. Women still have the potential to conceive in that process because words are living things. We have the power to speak life or death into existence. If we over stress our wombs, during pregnancy, we potentially miscarry the Fetus. From the time of conception of life, we teach the fetus everything that the mother thinks, feels and behaves. Over time, the choice to differentiate female and male came about after eons of time 👫 The male Xy -DNA is only a modified female XX -DNA chromosomes. For example, Much like a bee hive, a queen and male is chosen from the masses and recreated for their specific mission to procreate. All other members of her court are female drones from birth With that said, The Ancient Kemites depicted Creation as the result of a seXual union between the Celestial Bodies ‘above’, therefore, we are created as the result of seXual union ‘below’. As Above, So Below The Universe was created with a seXual connotation, as in a Vagina/Womb/Water, represented by the #0or Oval/Egg shape or letter O; the Phallus is #1, Fire and the Wings of the comets are the resulting Offspring….the babies of the Com-et. A Comet is the seed of Creation. The Return of Khrist is a Cum-et….. Planet X………or Venus. Check ? Thus, the Creator, brought our Kosmos into being from the Waters of NU* NU stood for the boundless ocean of primeval matter out of which everything that exists has been brought forth. In choosing water to represent the primeval water, the Ancient Ancestors were not so foolish as to imagine that it was water, but because terrestrial water corresponds to the nature of invisible substance, as enshrined in their well-known Hermetic axiom "as above so below." we have it that - The Universe or Yoni-Verse represents the heart(earth) which is the feminine principle and the unmanifested reality of Nu symbolizes the mind a.k.a the masculine principle. One cannot exist without the other. Balance is the law ☯️ A mind without a heart is heartless, lacking warmth and affection. A heart without a mind is mindless, lacking reason and meaning. So, there we have it ... 0 is feminine ... 1 is masculine And, if you sketch a 1 on the bottom right of the 0 , you get a 9 even tho the line curves ... it's because everything that spirals is in formation with creation 👇 spiral up So, there we have it 👉 the male and female powers or positive and negative polarities of the primeval waters contains all the germs of life. For example, the conscious and subconscious mind is the secret of inner-standing mental gender. Conscious is Male and Subconscious is Female It is the subconscious mind, the feminine aspect of mind that is the creative faculty. Have you seen a man give birth? No. It’s only the woman that bears children. The conscious mind, the masculine aspect of mind conditions a thought into the subconscious mind in order to create a belief that manifests into reality. Like a seed that is impregnated into the womb, it is nurtured within and born as a child. That said, You need to understand words because the language is/was a play on words for esoteric reasons and it’s all about ‘Sound’. X sounds like Sex…..

CHAKRAS Y PLANETAS

Descubre el lenguaje de tu cuerpo, alineando tus 7 chakras con los ciclos planetarios

Los chakras son centros de energía renovable, inmensa e incalculable indican funciones psicológicas, impulsos, necesidades mas que nada principios universales, ignorarlos hace que rompamos el equilibrio y relación natural que debemos guardar en mi humilde opinión, con el mundo orgánico y natural del que somos huéspedes temporales, no propietarios. (aquí puedes observar como existe una total similitud con la ley hermética/ astrológica de cómo es arriba es abajo) situados en el cuerpo humano. Puedes aprender a equilibrar tu cuerpo y mente utilizando esta antigua creencia de bienestar oriental basada en los siete centros de energía que rigen todos nuestros órganos y trabajan juntos como un sistema aún de forma independiente. La palabra en sánscrito chakra traduce literalmente como rueda o disco (podemos interpretarlo como ciclo también). En yoga, meditación, y Ayurveda, este término se refiere a las ruedas de energía en todo el cuerpo (los planetas son literalmente esferas de energía y elementos químicos vivientes, como nuestro propio planeta tierra.)

A lo largo de nuestro cuerpo tenemos centros principales de energía, que están conectados con órganos importantes o glándulas que controlan otras partes del cuerpo. Cada uno de estos centros principales de energía son conocidos como “Chakra”. Un Chakra es como una rueda vórtice espiral que gira en un movimiento circular formando un vacío en el centro, que dibuja en lo que sea que encuentra, en su nivel vibratorio particular. Existen siete chakras principales, que alinean el cuerpo por medio de la columna vertebral, a partir de la base de la misma (Mulhadara /Saturno el primer chakra) y hasta la corona (Sahasrara/El Sol séptimo chakra) de la cabeza. Para visualizar un chakra en el cuerpo, imagina una rueda de remolino de energía donde la materia y la conciencia se encuentran. Esta energía invisible, llamada Prana, es la fuerza cósmica de la vida, vibrante emanándose a través de nosotros, como dijo Tesla; para comprender al universo hay que pensar en términos de energía, frecuencia y vibración.

Los planetas para la Astrología (que conecta en su lenguaje símbolos astronómicos, mitológicos y psicológicos), Puedes imaginarlos como actores o símbolos energéticos vivos, fuerzas psico - dinámicas vivientes y activas, deseos que actúan en nuestra psique, (actores) poniéndose algún disfraz (constelaciones zodiacales) para desempeñar un rol en determinado escenario (casa astrales).Representan arquetipos de conciencia (como los 7 chakras) dimensiones de la experiencia humana conectados con ciclos astronómicos.¨ Creando nuestros marcos de existencia, aquellos en los cuales estamos inmersos desde el momento de nuestro nacimiento y tal vez antes¨ *

En mi experiencia profesional y personal como Astrologa aprendí que para poder entender el significado de estos símbolos hay que leer la mitología (en especial la grecorromana) y no solo leerla, sino sentirla, soñarla, vivirla y aplicarla. Si intentas aplicar mi perspectiva, veras que lo que hicieron los griegos romanos y otras culturas, fue crear las bases de la psicología moderna, asignándole a cada uno de sus dioses un planeta determinado, la diferencia en mi opinión se encuentra, en que mientras las antiguas culturas veían los dioses afuera allá arriba, en el cielo, nosotros debemos lograr verlos allá adentro, en nuestro interior.

¨Creo, y no hay que olvidarlo, que aquello que hicieron estas antiguas civilizaciones fue escribir ¨arriba¨ en el libro de los cielos, lo que habían comprendido acá ¨abajo¨ en la tierra acerca del devenir humano.¨ *Mauricio Puerta, Astrologo, arqueólogo y antropólogo.

CHAKRAS AND PLANETS

Discover the language of your body, aligning your 7 chakras with the planetary cycles

The chakras are centers of renewable energy, immense and incalculable indicate psychological functions, impulses, needs, more than anything, universal principles, ignoring them causes us to break the balance and natural relationship that we must keep in my humble opinion, with the organic and natural world of which we are Temporary guests, not owners. (Here you can see how there is a total similarity with the hermetic / astrological law of how it is above is below) located in the human body.

You can learn to balance your body and mind using this ancient belief of oriental well-being based on the seven energy centers that govern all our organs and work together as a system even independently. The Sanskrit word chakra literally translates as a wheel or disk (we can interpret it as a cycle as well). In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to the wheels of energy throughout the body (the planets are literally spheres of energy and living chemical elements, like our own planet earth.)

Throughout our body we have major energy centers, which are connected to important organs or glands that control other parts of the body. Each of these main energy centers are known as "Chakra". A Chakra is like a spiral vortex wheel that spins in a circular motion forming a vacuum in the center, which draws on whatever it finds, at its particular vibratory level. There are seven main chakras, which align the body through the spine, from the base of it (Mulhadara / Saturn the first chakra) and to the crown (Sahasrara / The Sun seventh chakra) of the head.

To visualize a chakra in the body, imagine a swirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet. This invisible energy, called Prana, is the cosmic force of life, vibrant emanating through us, as Tesla said; To understand the universe you have to think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.

The planets for Astrology (which connects astronomical, mythological and psychological symbols in their language), You can imagine them as living energy actors or symbols, living and active psychodynamic forces, desires that act in our psyche, (actors) putting on some disguise (zodiacal constellations ) to play a role in a given scenario (astral houses). They represent archetypes of consciousness (such as the 7 chakras) dimensions of human experience connected with astronomical cycles. ”Creating our frames of existence, those in which we are immersed from the moment of our birth and maybe before¨ *

In my professional and personal experience as an Astrologer, I learned that in order to understand the meaning of these symbols, one must read mythology (especially Greco-Roman) and not only read it, but feel it, dream it, live it and apply it. If you try to apply my perspective, you will see that what the Roman Greeks and other cultures did was to create the basis of modern psychology, assigning to each of their gods a particular planet, the difference in my opinion is, in that while the ancient cultures saw the gods out there in the sky, we must see them in there, in our interior.

The Painting of Sounds, Noises and Smells

Before the 19th century, painting was the art of silence. Painters of antiquity, of the Renaissance, of the 17th and 18th centuries, never envisaged the possibility of rendering sounds, noises and smells in painting, even when they chose flowers, stormy seas or wild skies as their subjects.

In their bold revolution, the Impressionists made some confused, hesitant attempts at sounds and noises in their pictures. Before them nothing, absolutely nothing!

However, we should point out at once that between the Impressionists’ swarming brush-strokes and our Futurist paintings of sounds, noises and smells there is an enormous difference, like the contrast between a misty winter morning and a sweltering summer afternoon, or to put it better, between the first signs of pregnancy and an adult man in his fully developed strength.

In the Impressionist canvases, sounds and noises are expressed in such a thin, faded way that they might have been perceived by the eardrum of a deaf man. This is not the place for a detailed account of the principles and experiments of the Impressionists. There is no need to enquire minutely into all the reasons why the Impressionists never succeeded in painting sounds, noises and smells. We shall only mention here what they would have had to drop to obtain results:

1. The extremely vulgar trompe-l’oeil, a game worthy of an academic of the Leonardo da Vinci sort or a foolish set-designer of realistic operas.

2. The concept of color harmonies, a characteristic concept and defect of the French which inevitably forces them into Watteau-style prettiness and an abuse of light blues, pale greens, mauves and pinks. We have said more than once how much we despise this tendency towards soft, feminine, gentle effects.

3. Contemplative idealism, which I have defined as a sentimental mimicry of natural appearances. This contemplative idealism contaminates the pictorial construction of the Impressionists, just as it contaminated those of their predecessors, Corot and Delacroix.

4. Anecdote and detail, which (although it it a reaction and an antidote to false academical construction) almost always leads them to photographical reproduction. As for the Post- and Neo-Impressionists, such as Matisse, Signac and Seurat, we see that far from perceiving the problem and dealing with the difficulties of sounds, noises and smells in their paintings, they preferred to withdraw into static representations in order to obtain a greater synthesis of form (Matisse) and a systematic application of light (Signac, Seurat).

We Futurists therefore claim that in bringing the elements of sound, noise and smell to painting we are opening fresh paths. We have already taught artists to love our essentially dynamic modern life with its sounds, noises and smells, thereby destroying the stupid passion for values which are solemn, academic, serene, hieratic and mummified: everything purely intellectual, in fact. Imagination without strings, words-in-freedom, the systematic use of onomatopoeia, antigraceful music without rhythmic quadrature, and the art of noises —these were created by the same Futurist sensibility that has given birth to the painting of sounds, noises and smells.

It is indisputably true that (1) silence is static and sounds, noises and smells are dynamic; (2) sounds, noises and smells are nothing but different forms and intensities of vibration; and (3) any succession of sounds, noises and smells impresses on the mind an arabesque of form and color. We must measure this intensity and perceive these arabesques.

The painting of sounds, noises and smells rejects:

1. All muted colors, even those obtained directly and without using tricks like patinas and glazes.

2. The banality of those velvets, silks and flesh tints which are too human, too refined, too soft, and flowers which are too pale and drooping.

3. Greys, browns and all muddy colors.

4. The use of pure horizontal and vertical lines, and all other dead lines.

5. The right angle, which we consider passionless.

6. The cube, the pyramid and all other static shapes.

7. The unities of time and place.

The painting of sounds, noises and smells calls for:

1. Reds, rrrrreds, the rrrrrreddest rrrrrrreds that shouuuuuuut.

2. Greens, that can never be greener, greeeeeeeeeeeens that screeeeeeam, yellows, as violent as can be: polenta yellows, saffron yellows, brass yellows.

3. All the colors of speed, of joy, of carousings and fantastic carnivals, of fireworks, cafe-chantants and music-halls; all colors seen in movement, colors experienced in time and not in space.

4. The dynamic arabesque, which is the sole reality created by the artist in the depths of his feeling.

5. The clash of all the acute angles, which we have already called the angles of will.

6. Oblique lines which fall on the observer like so many bolts from the blue, along with lines of depth.

7. The sphere, the ellipse that spins, the upside-down cone, the spiral and all the dynamic forms which the infinite powers of an artist’s genius are able to uncover.

8. Perspective obtained not as the objectivity of distances but as a subjective interpenetration of hard and soft, sharp and dull forms.

9. As a universal subject and as the sole reason for a painting’s existence: the significance of its dynamic construction (polyphonic architectural whole). Architecture is usually thought of as something static; this is wrong. What we have in mind is an architecture similar to the dynamic musical architecture achieved by the Futurist musician Pratella. Architecture is found in the movement of colors, of smoke from a chimney, and in metallic structures, when they are experienced in a violent, chaotic state of mind.

10.The inverted cone (the natural shape of an explosion), the slanting cylinder and cone.

11.The collision of two cones at their apexes (the natural shape of a water spout) with flexible or curving lines (a clown jumping, dancers).

12.The zig-zag and the wavy line.

13.Ellipsoidal curves considered as straight lines in movement.

14.Lines and volumes seen as plastic transcendentalism, that is, according to their characteristic degree of curvature or obliqueness, determined by the painter’s state of mind.

15.Echoes of lines and volumes in movement.

16.Plastic complementarism (for both forms and colors), based on the law of equivalent contrasts and on the opposite poles of the spectrum. This complementarism derives from an imbalance of forms (which are hence forced to move) The consequent elimination of the complements of volumes. We must reject these because like a pair of crutches they allow only a single movement, forward and backward, and not the total movement that we call spherical expansion in space.

17.The continuity and simultaneity of the plastic transcendency of the animal mineral, vegetable and mechanical kingdoms.

18.Abstract plastic wholes, corresponding not to our sight but to the sensations which derive from sounds, noises, smells and all the unknown forces that surround us.

These polyphonic and polyrhythmic abstract plastic wholes correspond to a requirement of inner enharmonics that we Futurist painters believe to be indispensable to pictorial sensibility.

These plastic wholes have a mysterious fascination and are more meaningful than those created by our visual and tactile senses, being closer to our pure plastic spirit.

We Futurist painters maintain that sounds noises and smells are incorporated in the expression of lines, volumes and colors just as lines, volumes and colors are incorporated in the architecture of a musical work. Our canvases will therefore express the plastic equivalents of the sounds noises and smells found in theaters, music-halls, cinemas, brothels, railway stations, ports, garages, hospitals, workshops, etc., etc.

From the point of view of form: sounds, noises and smells can be concave, convex triangular, ellipsoidal, oblong, conical, spherical, spiral, etc.

From the point of view of color: sounds, noises and smells can be yellow, green, dark blue, light blue or purple. In railway stations and garages, and throughout the mechanical and sporting world, sounds, noises and smells are predominantly red; in restaurants and cafes they are silver, yellow and purple. While the sounds, noises and smells of animals are yellow and blue, those of a woman are green, blue and purple.

We do not exaggerate in claiming that smell alone is enough to create in our minds arabesques of form and color which can constitute the motive and justify the necessity of a painting. In fact, if we are shut in a dark room (so that our sense of sight no longer functions) with flowers petrol or other strong-smelling things, our plastic spirit gradually eliminates the memory sensations and constructs particular plastic wholes whose quality of weight and movement corresponds perfectly to the smells found in the room. These smells, through an obscure process, have become an environment-force, determining that state of mind which for us Futurist painters constitutes a pure plastic whole.

This bubbling and whirling of forms and lights composed of sounds, noises and smells has been partly rendered by me in my Anarchist’s Funeral and Jolts of a Taxi-cab by Boccioni in States of Mind and Forces of a Street, by Russolo in Revolt and Severini in Pan Pan, paintings which aroused violent controversy at our first Paris Exhibition in 1912. This kind of bubbling over requires a powerful emotion, even delirium, on the part of the artist, who in order to render a vortex must be a vortex of sensation himself, a pictorial force and not a cold logical intellect.

This is the truth! In order to achieve this total painting, which requires the active cooperation of all the senses, a painting which is a plastic state of mind of the universal, you must paint, as drunkards sing and vomit, sounds, noises and smells!
