The God of the Machine will come Down to Save Us:
God Help us; He May not; so, save Your Self [Collectively]: Continuing from the previous post; we discussed Christian-right’s detrimental use of utilitarian mysticism and hero worship. This can be recognised in many ways, from a slow birth of social movements to the take-over of ‘words’ to impose new meaning. Take the word ‘leftist’ together with scapegoating and blame leaves little for the flexibility of truth. To be left has lost all its meaning because it’s been redefined or is a product of linguistic takeover. Essentially by right-wing-crypto-fascist groups, this has been in long development way before Trump. The fascism of the Christian-right embodies Christian values that have been up-ended.
At the beginning it was about the acquisition of material wealth and power sacralising the worst aspect of imperialism and capitalism alongside a [subtle, but] growing white-supremacy movement. The notion that America exclusively is anointed to bring about the Kingdom of God and that the white race is lifted above all other races. Here it parallels the Christian Church that the Nazis created in Germany during the war era on the worship and sacred quality of state power. In the 80s the Christian-right was a marginal group, but even back then; one could determine or an estimation a possible future where their ascendancy could have weight on policy makers. Today’s many conservative Christian gathering fill stadiums.
Even amongst this populace group there are dispossessed people, poverty stricken, with high statistical domestic abuse, alcoholism and so on; would garner themselves into crisis-cults. Where they believed Jesus would take care of them, and would bless them with wealth. Even at their lowest; mysticism as a form of action is enough for contentment. Another linguistic takeover of the word that is ‘socialism’ means communism to them. Even though what holds them together in their lowest form as a lifeline are from liberal socialist programs. Incidentally, they still give loyalty [their vote] to a political paragon saviour as replacement for their Jesus. In a blind hope … for a Jesus that will never come, to blind loyalty for a political saviour on the whims of his gas-lighting. All a while abandoning their needs especially on poverty.
Having the loyalty of this populace the Christian-right built institution like Liberty University, Patrick Lawson School, and other Christian schools’ some of those graduate would be integrated into the Trump administration. They had with them the same kind of magical thinking, but only conducive to a type of capitalism that took advantages of their voters. The policies made throughout history; economics functions in the same way as mysticism the rise of intense outcome followed by depression, it matches the cycles of fashion.
It’s amazing how adjacent the neoliberalism ideology is with the Calvinism branch of Protestantism insofar as a need to strive for success in an unhealthy manner [to climb the corporate ladder as leader]. To prove they were the elect destined to go to heaven. Neoliberalism [a notion that societies could advance themselves kneeling before the dictates of the market place] is an ideology pedalled by corporations as a reaction to rising movements. Think tanks created blue prints for corporation to slow down those movements and take control of institutions, which justified the pillage by the ruling elites. People that didn’t play frailty to neoliberal ideology were silenced, as they called neoliberalism a con. Both social political establishments to survive had to pay frailty to them. A figure like Clinton would come and essentially transform the Democratic Party to a Republican Party. They pushed it so far to the right that it became insane, and low and behold Biden was part of that administration. This was essentially the death of the liberal class and the rise of new-liberalism.
Their inability to process [Biblical] mythology properly, while also having a hard stance on individualism; to build walls because there the chosen elect will always steer towards fascism. Together with a populace that has a suicidal fervour and blind submission and loyalty to proto-fascist authority gives no hope for a better future. The literal [Biblical literalism] having always produced idolatry makes it hard for them to accept concepts like the ‘Christ of Faith’ which adopts a malleable model. And at times makes for a more fascinating story or parable, although fundamentalists have rejected this outright. They take comfort only in passages of Luke 2:41-42 as the only source because according to them this is all what God has determined that we needed to know. This is exemplified on the argument which entail the lost years of Jesus. The unknown years of Jesus can be ripe with speculation; some have indicated He was in Tibet, Kashmir, India, and Egypt learning the ways of enlightenment. Whatever the case, there is a process that entail swapping creative reasoning with God, and when you swap reason with God or value reason as the godhead you put absolutism in forefront which can be impossible to argue against.
At the heart of Christian Religion; it doesn’t ask what absolute truth is because they believe they’ve found it. In Buddhism, the reply is always – ‘there is nothing absolute in the world’ but the process of thought and argument is central to our continued existence – if for no other reason than its role in making us conscious of the world. So, the absolute goes against your natural self. Although what is certain, is our mortality and that it leads to death, but even in this notion; death or more precisely health care can be hijacked by big pharma and profit.
The notion of death among hospitals and medicine especially on it value towards the terminally ill by prolonging it. Drugs and technology may delay it, but the outcome is the same; death looms, but it’s the ability to think and the ability to illuminate disease that give reason strength. This often has a cyclical nature. The false progenitors that act as saints for the God of the machine adopt this method to impose a [covid] vaccine as law to protect us. Although we know in practical terms laws do not protect us, nor our systems. They protect us only through one’s individual ability to think through the situation by controlling ourselves.
There is a conspiracy among the so-called experts that uses our culture, ideology as a phenomenon; together with fake-news-media provoke a sense of aggression and disbelief in the dictum “Scientist Say” – and we know it’s not the scientist. It’s the political relations department of the scientific community, their publicity apparatus. They’re telling what the scientist should say to the public. They should not be confused with real scientific progress in medicine, but that always starts at the micro level, and often without a worldwide propagandised fake hysteria.
And here it hints that reason is tying itself through progress; in this predicament you limit thought by basing it on delusion. And so, slips into a tool for self-interest and ideology. They have hacked the genuineness of ‘care’ and inverted [or corrupted] it. In the genuine form pain is reduced so one is able to think and have clarity of mind. As well as dealing with their thoughts while they deal with their suffering. And to remind them death is not a disease, and is part of life. At least in death you’re liberated at last from truth and method and delusions of utilitarianism.
Metaphysical, Post-Perennial Mumbo Jumbo: What is truth anyways? Truth must also be seen in realm of non-absolute [or in the ephemeral] otherwise it won’t evolve. Truth is Ayn Sof or the process of seeking Ayn Sof, but never really reaching it. There are many aspects to view truth. One way can be seen through a post-Jungian analyst James Hillman’s ‘The Dream and the Underworld’ He relates our dreaming life to the myths of the Underworld – the dark side of the soul, its images and shadows – and to the gods and figures of death. This leads to a re-visioning of dream interpretation in relation to the psychology of “dying”. He concludes with a long section on specific dream images and themes as they appear in psychological praxis. He describes the value of not remembering dreams examined in the body when it processes information; something unconscious remains and this has value, and if you can recall it gives it objective reason.
Some have equated the process of seeking truth as a game of sorts. A game to which has many approaches. One can be likened to re-assembling of the shattered psychic upon a Christ-consciousness awakening event, which is the divine spark – the spark that needs to get out. The re-constitution of the psyche like in Kintsugi-alchemy, which coincide with the recollection of dreams signified in the myth of the underworld. Author Philip K Dick mentions his spiritual awakening where he spoke to wisdom goddess Sophia in which she told him that she likes doing puzzles. The value of not remembering dreams in its entirety, but only glimpsing a spec of meaningful images is akin to puzzles which are images that must be put together.
In the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas – The Hymn of the Judas Thomas the Apostle in the Country of the Indians also known as The Hymn of the Pearl – tells the story of a prince who is sent on a mission by his father and along the way forgets his true (secret) identity. The forgetting parallels humanities ignorance and only upon the awakening that one finds ‘knowing’ [or perhaps remembering once again] and therefore one’s true mission. This is always exemplified in modern day moving pictures, the gnostic parable follows the same perennial concept of ‘the one’ motif; the forgetting, the awakening, then the saviour.
The Goddess and her puzzles equate to a game of remembering. The metaphysical or alchemical status of consciousness hinges on the belief of God and vice versa. To which ontology plays a part in so much as ‘reality’ comes first in the value of importance before consciousness, but still realizing there is a relationship between the two. This a valid argument for the material considering there are outside perception being given to us, and that it cannot be all consciousness or the collective unconscious or the collective dream. However, what pervades materialism or the sciences more so towards astro/atomic-physics is the idea that the world of matter is what matters, which is simply not true. Black holes are not material objects it’s an idea. The vacuousness of the material as a category even at heart of physics is contentious. There is no sense of the material object that covers this sort of enquiry that physics are doing. Astrophysics is an attempt to define the universe through atomic ideas which doesn’t work [as above; so below may not work in this case]. The same kind of confusion arises when they mix satellization-cosmos with Plasma-physics.
The evolution of Black hole imagery ends with a copied similarity to that of Saturn imagery. And if you take the supposed image of Earth and blur out the edges – it’s nothing but a topographical key-hole image or a microscopic lens for a higher intelligence [a.k.a. God], on infinitely large plain.
An unedited version of audio and video of the lunar landing outlines its disingenuous picture of Earth at a distance. As well as radio conversations between astronauts, Houston and also a third member, they outlined a script on what to say for playback later.
The Federal government would have you believe that this is an image of Earth from a distance looking out of a space craft through a window as it nears the moon – it is not – what they have done is placed the camera at the back of the [space] craft and ascended the lens on a circular window on the foreground – outside of which is completely filled with the Earth in low orbit – the circumference of the window would appear as the diameter of the earth at a distance, and the blackened walls of the craft appearing as the blackness of space.
The whole concept of squaring the circle as understood – is about the drawing down the divine structure of the universe. Man’s attempt to recreate that in this lower plain, a two-dimensional project of man. At some point they came up with the irrational number of Pi. And Pi allowed calculations to reach its nearest perfection, after utilising this number that had no end; extended that formula in trying to create a kingdom of God on earth. Our disconnection from the godhead allowed us to be aware of our spiritual loop, our shadows and the underworld, so that we can remember that source-point once again. This disconnect is perhaps instinctive as to acknowledge your surrounding as your map. Let’s say that the map is civilisation and society, but it is not perfect because it’s a system built to fail; built to restart. Like a mandala, it’s made only to be erased, and like in history civilisation rise and fall because of its cyclical nature.
PI has no end and the Fibonacci sequence is found in nature especially in flowers, it follows a mathematical spiral. The fractal component is introduced virtually to give it no end, which gave way to simulation theory, although the flower itself is fully completed and you can see it. The infinite virtual no end component is the death and rebirth of things. In this infinite state it can be observed as opposed to infinite satellization concept, which embarks on myths. Let’s not forgot mathematics is a paradigmatic case of a science that has nothing to do with the nature of things unless theory or faith is introduced. Meaning math can be wrong if the assertion is wrong in the first place.
Which can be examined in cult followers of Lyndon LaRouche, his notions probably had an influence on the Saturn Cult. He purposed at the centre of all reality there is an invisible point that is a perfect sphere, and at the exterior of reality there is an immensely enormous sphere. And one could hold the entire universe in the palm of your hands a spherical object as large as the universe, scale and size are disregarded. And any concept of squaring this Sphere in a four-dimensional extension is a false model or a false reality – because no matter how close you get to filling the interior space with Cubes [of innumerable sizes] there is always an infinitely large space to be filled. Therefore, the spherical reality is more real, and the reality lived in which is inside the Cube is run by forces and agents that emanates from the planet Saturn.
This is really no different to the Cube within a Cube argument, a Tesseract to which each fractal dimensional moves implying a new world or a repeating cyclical age of collapse and revitalization. LaRouche merely changes the Cube to a perfect Sphere. This is a tangent ideal of a satellization cosmos, a tangent idea of a galaxy but the universe itself contained in a sphere within a sphere. LaRocuche’s attempt to use passive intuition to consolidate the size of entire universe to the palm of a hand – as a way to express understanding of our context [to square the circle as it were] – that is our place within the whole. This follows the same idea of the Cube’s/Tesseract’s infinite loop. The perfect Sphere equates to the centre of the galaxy as the Pleroma. However, being a tangent idea to a satellized cosmos makes both ideas indicative to hyperreal assertions, and should be thrown out anyways. And this is because it is fundamentalism hiding itself as hyperreal-rationalism.
It’s difficult to listen to astrophysics or to take them seriously not only in their self-referentialism [a belief that specialization implies privileged access to truth], but it’s in their glibness and attitudes. In science a theory is the highest level that you can give something because it’s well supported [supposedly]. As well as having room for improvement, and so matches the axiom notion of truth. Maybe so, but that’s not what gets practised and preached. ‘Theory’ in relative terms has no significant difference to that of ‘faith’ – science’s dogmatic [scientism] philosophical assertions like to point out that in order to advance scientifically an enormous body of assumptions have to be in place. And those assumptions can’t be defended. Aristotle said “no science ever defends its own first principles.” A certain amount of education or a certain amount of immersion into a physical theory – this kind of indifference is also found in legal theory, it tends to displace any other kind of ideological affiliation, to which it is transmuted into a form of denial.
So, if your world view is about observing the world to which you conclude are facts versus the hyperreal facts than its flat – if your world view is about plasma physics than it’s about toroidal, magnetic fields and plasma – and if your world view is secular-atheism than it’s about spinning balls and gas giants. The satellization cosmos; however, is a dead one, and they know it. It stands only as a backdrop of importance for the imaginal. Here the imaginal is something broader than imagination; it’s akin to the force or the Dao.
We provoked the religious use of utilitarian mysticism. How about the secular Atheistic use of it? The big bang theory provides us with mythological framework for non-scientific theories [or pseudo-science] such as: astro-physics and the satellization cosmos, spherical gas giants and so on. In this concept it will act as a container to which it will hold the accounts for Darwinian evolution – a development that would not of happen if it weren’t for pure chance a notion that defy astronomical probabilities inherent only to a satellized cosmos. These accounts and actions become the substitute for the Biblical account. God no longer created life because Darwin provided an answer. A minute answer to a comparably and infinitely larger question […]. And in that minute answer a fraction of which can be correct. Evidence articulated as inference to support the big bang theory such as background radiation, light waves, gravity and the cosmological constant only support what is already there and not the cause of retraction and contraction.
The hyperreal assumption that the universe is moving outwards instigated by the Big Bang, and in this incident gives the explanation of time. And in order to explain away gravity’s problem of collapsing on itself they invented the cosmological constant – in a fine-tuned universe – bought about by chance. A mathematical impossibility if you don’t the account for God or a Supreme Intelligence. No burden of proof is required for the Big Bang Theory because that accommodation is only held for the supposition of a God, and here you see the pretentious hypocrisy of the so-called scientific world. Proofs are only really required for mathematicians anyways; big questions are in the realms of philosophical argument. Background radiation only signifies what is already there and does not give account for where it began. Given that causality is a tenant of rationality. Meaning “let there be light” is as consistent with any other data.
The Big Bang Theory is an attempt to explain ‘let there be light’ in a quantitative way, where predictions are turned into facts. However, predictions can be made in dreams. And dreams can be found in the hyperreal as well [creative imaginings] it would require a virtual component, a theory of fiction for it to manifest. A fallacy is found in it though as they steer it towards the absolute, where no discernible pattern can be recognised. At least Fibonacci and the flower can be examined, it comes from seed and it grows and become absolute and manifest towards a pattern or a program already set. This quality that’s been given to us entails our timelessness, the kind of quality that provokes dreams.
Imagination described as ‘imaginal’ permeates perception, which means a dreaming universe. You have imagination [in this analogy] let’s call it (a)ether, space or plasma or space-plasma that covers the world [our cosmic egg or cosmic Cube]. The imaginal falls down like rain [if rain was like intuition-rain-drops] and covers our [flat] plain of existence, and we see that ‘imagination’ which pertains to reality, and we have a relationship with it. Whether through magic, applied-animism, or the natural adjustment of that imagination through receptivity – normally this is described as the ‘Theo-logos.’
Others have attached meaning and absolutism to the map as a way to explain dogma as an inescapable need to set the criteria. Maybe so … and this is perhaps another squaring of the circle analogy. At the same time ‘dreams’ as a form of passive intuition links us to our mortality and the immortal nature of our timelessness or the collective unconsciousness – and our relationship to the non-human. By all accounts we are not liberated from the physical forces rather we need to be conscious of reality and how to live with it. Setting the criterion is not the same as making the connection. Making the connection is in the realm of intuition and in its active quality; gives the application of the imagination. Deny it; then you’re in the realm of utilitarian mysticism.
Such notions can be examined in the spiritual loop aforementioned; it starts in consciousness that makes its way into reality inside the Cube or Cosmic Egg. The Rosicrucian cross is also the unfolded Cube stems from the idea of light, and Lucifer is the light in some ways an attribution to Ein Sof. Such acknowledgment scares Christians because of they have dual nature. The void that is Dat separates the supernal Triad of the tree from the seven lower garments in the Sephirot – in that you’re bringing essence to essence – Shekinah with the Zohar – a chemical wedding. Plasma-physics have secularised this notion for people less inclined with all things spiritual. They describe it as counter-space it’s a space that absorbs our entropy and coverts it to order, the same kind of familiarity around zero-point energy, which is then unified with a type of force. The latter sounds better. Plasma-physics seems to be an attempt to unify physics with mysticism; the result is always a mix-bag because on the first impression you just get bad physics and bad mysticism. Perhaps it’s about encompassing all of it for better flow.
The ultimate puzzle which is seen as a Cube, and is seen as a Cross, however, an [gnostic] argument can be said that inside the Cube a.k.a Cosmic Egg is a false one; a prison of sorts. That within spiritual loop there are amounts of suffering that cannot be avoided, examined within the loop are programmed sets of ques that engender in the mind of the subject. In the loop – a belief that they can relieve suffering – this becomes the punishment factor of the loop. All forms of believe in conjunction with the elevation of suffering become future based or mystical principles where people try to change the world, and make it a better place. In doing so make a bad one instead, the fallacy in this sort of future-Utopianism is a fallacy that seems to be always attached to civilisation and its cyclical nature.
Towers fall; World Tree Burns: Isaac Asimov’s ‘Foundation’ is about a fall of a [galactic] empire, which was predicated by a mathematician sage. Math here is given mystical qualities as if it were intuitive when really, it’s just probabilities [logic based]. The galactic empire is symbolised through the Star-bridge a manmade concentric circle space station that is connected to earth via tower reaching into hyper-space acting like a cable. Seems to be an allegorical symbolic parallel to the World Tree, here man is enthralled at its own technological marvel as it reaches the hyperreal heavens, a successful Babylon enterprise in full wonder. It’s not a coincidence that the Empire’s fall began by the Star-bridges destruction perpetrated by suicidal fundamentalists. Comparatively the Twin Towers fall in New York [by so-called terrorist] would entail the symbolic start of our own late-imperial fall. The Star-Bridge equates to Stargate, and Stargate is a conspiracy-theory name given to the towers post-destruction. Perhaps it has something to do with our star stellar alignment, where the moon was positioned between the twin constellation and the pentagonal constellation – at the exact date of 2001-09-11. [It hints that the moon represents more than a hyperreal rock in space, and is rather a type of bardo, the first dimensional step for the soul].
Plato gave us the story of Atlantis a technologically advanced civilization that had navigating and seafaring skills, meaning it had a vast network stations around the world. Plato said before the catastrophe the Atlantean society that was already at a fall due to corruption; Plato said ‘Atlantis ceased to wear its prosperity with moderation’. People believe Atlantis to be just a story, and not true. However Plato clearly said it was true. He said it was submerged 9000 years before the time of Solon – and in 600 B.C. Solon made a trip to Egypt where the priests there told him the story of Atlantis, which was also inscribed in the walls, which makes 9,600 B.C in our calendar, which is 11,600 years ago. This is also backed by geological findings of Gobekli Tepe [Temple] believed to be dated at around the same time. It is believed there was transference of technology by survivors of Atlantis in that region among the peoples who were hunters and gatherers.
We discussed the notion of timelessness as a quality – a quality that provokes dreams and sometimes in its archetypal dominance it can predict ‘prophecy’ or future events. In this archetypal dominant key-frame in history it is always centred on the sacred-centre. In San-script it’s described as ‘Meru’ to mean the ‘Holly Mountain’ and Meru is described as the mountain of the gods. Which parallel Greek and Roman mythology concerning Mount Olympus and pantheon gods. The pantheon gods were then intermingled with the Kabbalistic myth of Stars that evolved into the Copernicus satellized universe. However, when it comes to prophecy that label belongs to ‘Noah,’ where according to some researchers he walked and talked with God, as well as being [speculatively] an Atlantean being. His dream-prophecy was of course the flood.
Another prophet who hardly gets mentioned is Nebuchadnezzar from the recollection of Simon Magus. Simon Magus is described as a sorcerer in Acts 8:9. I suspect (not to why he is mentioned in Acts 8:9, but the verse as a go to reference for fundamentalist) because fundamentalists especially traditional-fundamentalists; (traditional is the word I use to describe the predecessor of the New-fundamentalist-Christian) is to deny intuition. This is bizarre considering intuition is inherent in everyone, and quite instinctual even among the most rationale or rigid Christians.
Fundamentalist-Christians like to focus on a transfixed reference as authority as evidence and means of comparison. Of which Simon Magus’s tree of life analogy to that of the nature of God; in this appointed heresy, it’s used as a reference point to promote other institutional beliefs that does not match their own, as modern-day witch-hunters. Simon Magus merely saw an association or even synchronicity between the Tree of Life and its association with the nature of God. This was foolish of Magus as he made himself out to be a target of heresy so much so that it made its way into Religious text. Hippolytus describes Magus paraphrasing the Law of Moses:
| For when Moses asserts that “God is a burning and consuming fire,” taking what is said by Moses not in its correct sense, he affirms that fire is the originating principle of the universe. . .. (Simon) employs the terms secret and manifest; it may, (I say, in general,) be affirmed that the fire, (I mean) the super-celestial (fire), is a treasure, as it were a large tree, just such a one as in a dream was seen by Nabuchodonosor, out of which all flesh is nourished. And the manifest portion of the fire he regards as the stem, the branches, the leaves, (and) the external rind which overlaps them. All these (appendages), he says, of the Great Tree being kindled, are made to disappear by reason of the blaze of the all-devouring fire. The fruit, however, of the tree, when it is fully grown, and has received its own form, is deposited in a granary, not (flung) into the fire. For, he says, the fruit has been produced for the purpose of being laid in the storehouse, whereas the chaff that it may be delivered over to the fire. (Now the chaff) is stem, (and is) generated not for its own sake, but for that of the fruit. – Hippolytus |
Could it be that Magus is describing what it might’ve been like (or imagine; imagination has hand in the developmental aspect of intuition) to witness the Tree of Life that reached all the way to the Heavens (in this case the Sky) being burnt down with the super-celestial fire. What is interesting is that this is no ordinary fire but something heavenly, this would make sense if one is to consider the notion of a giant Tree in the center of the earth; once located at the North Pole. This story was made more pronounced through a prophetic dream by Nebuchadnezzar – Nebuchadnezzar dreams of a great tree that shelters the whole world, but in his dream an angelic “watcher” appears and decrees that the tree must be cut down and that for seven years he, Nebuchadnezzar, will have his human mind taken away and will eat grass like an ox.
Fire is the Original Principle: Simon Magus describes the fire being the originating pinciple of the Universe, and he uses the content from ‘Heraclitus the Obscure’ to apply his notion that God is not the fire, but a burning consuming fire; taking Moses’s assertion of “God is a burning consuming fire” out its correct context (law of Moses), according to scholars. He instead describes the fire as an Indefinite Power that will be kept hidden (secret), and will repose in the habitation, at the foundation of which lies the root of all things. [And he asserts that this man who is born of blood is (the aforesaid) habitation, and that in him resides an indefinite power, which he affirms to be the root of the universe – Hippolytus]
He describes this indefinite power (fire) being one of the four elements, but within the fire represents two folds of nature; one being secret the other manifest. The secret aspect is assumed by scholars as something akin to Aristotle’s “potentiality” and “energy” or Plato’s “intelligible” and “sensible” considering the manifest portion of the fire is derived from the secret. Maybe it’s more akin to Prometheus’s fire the powers to imagine and to intuitively create fire therefore finding its secret as manifest, its potentiality and its energy. In the East, Statuary of Laotian Buddha figures are shown with flames (fire) atop their heads, the symbol of enlightenment.
He says after the creation of the world from the unbegotten fire, the aftermath spurred new growth; the fire seemingly took six roots, an allegory for the primary originating principle for generation. He says those roots were made from the fire in pairs, which roots he terms “Mind” and “Intelligence” – this seemingly fits the Tree of Life concept. The Ten Sefirot is the Crown Wisdom and Intelligence are the second and third of the Ten Sefirot. They are parallel emanations from the Crown or first Sefirah. … The first three Sefirot form a triad constituting the world as a manifestation of the Divine Thought.
[As a disclaimer I’m not a theology scholar and will admit I’m out of my depth here, I’m just piecing together current views that pop up in front of me]. Magus describes (assumes, could he be one of the first few conspiracy theorist or gnostic) the fruit (which has seeds) of the tree being saved and deposited in a granary and laid in a storehouse, and the rest as in the stem can be burnt because the chaff is not generated for its own sake, but for that of the fruit. Then that would mean the fruit when it’s fully grown, and has received its own form being kept in storehouse (granary) would be divine?
Fire is part of nature, and is part of the ecosystem. Native aborigines would purposely burn bushland with fire because they knew without the periodic reduction of combustible through fire no new growth can flourish. This notion mirrors the death and rebirth concept symbolized in an allegorical story for the Tree of Life, and that its seed represents the gestation into the flower of life, which can be understood through the awareness of sacred geometry symbols and the plutonic solids that come out of it.
There is also the notion of god’s fire within the backdrop of a Mountain, that of Moses conversing with a spiritual fire. Part of the constellation of images that come up in determining a Holy Mountain would be to collect all images and stories concerning the myth. Some considerations to think of could be the size of the mountain, and its permanency and immovability; we move towards or ascend the mountain both metaphorically as to reach enlightenment and to physically travel there to witness or be within the heights of the heavens. Beyond the size then there is the mountain as a symbol, and it’s involvement in creation and recreation of worlds. A lot of world mythologies start with prima-materia that the first creation of the world was in a form of a Mountain, this mirrors sensibilities towards mother earth creation and the Goddess. Another term associated with centre of the world is the naval.
Incidentally Magus describes Paradise as a Womb and Edem being the afterbirth “a river flowing forth from Edem, for the purpose of irrigating Paradise” the Naval. God formed man in his mother’s womb – that is in Paradise. He states the navel is separated into four principles represented as two arteries (the channels of spirit) and two veins (the channels of blood). Magus is basically making allegorical similarities within the nature of gestation and birth with the physical creation of the world. When one flies on an airplane we see from a great height rivers that seem like veins. He describes the river which proceeds out of Edem (I suspect Edem is Eden) is divided into four principles or four channels of senses; seeing, smelling, taste and touch much like a child with its four senses.
| There is a certain link between Magus’s notion and Jung’s theory of types. The dominant function is opposite to the inferior function. That is, if your thinking function is the best developed, your feeling function will be the least developed. The inferior function is also the gateway to the unconscious. |
It took Jung and his Schema of types to finish Magus’s notion; of which he says is the ‘Law … that Moses appointed.’ When a child is born they’re essentially in an oceanic state, as the child grows into adulthood often some become brainwashed (or demoralized), pragmatic, rigid, inflexible, and so on. This is a sort of forgetting – but with some come the fire (much in a way of the spark of divinity, some describe it as an awakening) people then become more in tune with Jung’s schema of types as a method.
Jung observed that people could be divided into four groups according to their dominant psychological functions. The thinking and intellectuality part belong to the thinking types; those who are oriented toward emotions are feeling; the sensations of the body represent sensation. These types are not original creation of Jung – it can be traced back to the Republic of Plato; however, he did introduce Intuition to the fold. The kind intuition where perception which cannot be traced directly to conscious sensory experience – therefore [R. Smoley & J. Kinney of Wisdom Teachings]defines sensation as “perception through conscious sensory processes, and intuition as perception by way of unconscious contents and connections.”
