Upgrade

There was some water damage to my house in late spring. I really didn't notice how bad it was. I eventually called the insurance and got things rolling. They took down the popcorn in my temple room and living area. I paid extra to have them replace it with a textured ceiling. This has taken two weeks. He finished today but they have to come back and paint.

I decided to hop into my temple room for a quick LBRP, BRH and Middle Pillar. I hit a whole new level. The air crackled with movement. I moved the MP energy around my body. Then I followed an intuitional prompt and moved it about the room. I could tangibly feel the energy bounce off the walls.

Obviously, water relates to emotional issues. There has been even more healing there of late. This subjective being reflected by the material construction was a neat thing to observe.

Header Change

I changed the header on the blog. The former implied that I was working Jason Miller's system. That became incorrect. While claiming titles and such things may be all the rage in some parts of the pagan community, it isn't me. While this wasn't like that, it was close enough.

I have nothing against Jason's system. I save all the lessons. I am hoping to get back to them. Now isn't the time for that. Other adventures are calling.

Necessary Destruction

The lesson of the previously posted meditation doesn't jive with the visuals. I knew immediately the lesson but I can't place exactly how I received it. Perhaps there are visual lessons, auditory lessons and lessons of place. Perhaps the very location one is in contains patterns that result in understanding.

In this case, my thought was that all creation involves destruction. Even things we think of as purely creative destroy. If I buy a nice clean brick of clay and use it to make a glorious vase, I first had to destroy the form of the brick.

This is not deeply profound but there is a new level of acceptance and understanding of the process. This is like the difference between intellectual understanding and emotional understanding.

Whose Eye Lead to Confidence?

This weekend I sat in my neutral space. This is basically like straddling a doorway on this is the doorway to the astral. I focused on Osiris. I saw him quite clearly. I didn't have anything to say really. I just wanted to see him and commune.

Suddenly, I found myself projecting through his eye. I traveled through a rectangular tunnel of lights. It wasn't a solid wall but more like lines of lights suggesting the tunnel. I emerged into what can only be described as a field of gods. Golden statues were everywhere, Anubis, Bast, Best, Horus. There were other shapes I recognized by could not name at the time. Nothing moved. I wasn't there long before I was drawn through another eye. This one looked more like an Illuminati all seeing eye. It was more human.

Then came more eyes. They varied in construction but eyes they were.

I came to a destination that I will not mention here, except to say that it dominated by a color and what can only be described as an accent color.

Last night, I looked up eye of Osiris. I remember something vaguely about Egyptian art and that a lone left eye was Osiris and the lone right Horus. I may have them reversed. I didn't find that reference but I will look again. What I did find that this color was clearly associated with Horus and his eye.

I have some idea of what this journey meant. However, what it means to me emotionally is more than that. No longer will I wonder if I saw something. I saw. Too many times have I believed in my experiences simply because I had another source of confirmation. I can do this.

This doesn't mean that I won't do error checking or that interpretation and thought are not needed. It merely means that when I travel or skry, I have as much confidence that I saw what I saw as when I walk down the street.

Going Internal

The Autumnal Equinox is the time to go internal. This year it has hit me in a big way. You may have noticed that my posting has dropped considerably.

I am doing a lot of inward focused things. I've been doing focused thinking on various topics while sitting in my astral gateway. I don't go anywhere really. I just get to the gate and think on a given topic. If I get distracted, I bring myself back to the topic. There isn't anything cool to report. Yet, I feel I am doing the right thing for the time being.

Introduction to Qabalistic Tarot

Introduction to Qabalistic Tarot
Instructor: Robert

“Post graduate work, simply presented.”
Lon DuQuette, author of The Tarot of Ceremonial Magick

The tarot, a mainstay of modern divination, has often been taught as an intuitive art, without the accompanying mystical and intellectual underpinnings found in the modern qabala. The structure at the core of the modern tarot is both profound and incredibly simple. Despite the complex lists of contradictory meanings found in many books, a simple pattern exists that makes the tarot an exciting tool of self-discovery and spiritual adventure.

The introductory course in this series examines the simple clues buried in those complex lists of meanings found in many tarot books. This will allow us to give precise definition to the aces. With that, the court and small cards come alive.

What was Lost is Now Found!

A couple of weeks ago, I had dream. of an angel. I showed it the ring I had made when I experienced my first HGA contact. There was a discussion about various aspects of the design. None of that conversation was remembered the next morning.  I woke up and the ring was gone. I am open to the idea that the ring was off my finger, my body noticed and created a dream. I never take off the ring so it would be an unusual sensation.

During that time, I was working on a decision. I was waffling.

With the ring gone, my HGA was more on my mind. I realized my focus on the Helpful Deity distracted me from my HGA. As I burned the occasional bowl of incense to HD, I wondered what incense I could burn for my HGA. Why hadn't I put as much effort into my HGA as HD? These are good questions. However, I don't think they were relevant to the ring issue.

Tonight, I did the laundry. I've done the laundry several times since I lost the ring. The first thing I pulled out of the hamper kicked out my ring. It literally 'flew' out of the hamper and banged off a metal bar. It made a bell-like sound alerting me to its presence. It made a bell-like sound alerting me to its presence. There is no way the ring could not have been wrapped up in that piece of clothing for two weeks. It was clean when I lost the ring. As soon as I put on the ring, I realized that I had made the decision I was hesitating about. Yes, their is a link between that ring and the decision.
