The Goddess Protects Us With Her Body
"Goddess is tent/chador/chuppah/ozone layer/parasol/cover/garment/veil/screen and protection from being scorched/dissolved by Sun/God/Light."
Mammon and Amen is Our Dear Amiable Mama?
Etymologically, the word Mammon is assumed to derive from Late Latin 'mammon', from Greek 'μαμμωνάς', Syriac 'mámóna' (riches), Aramaic 'mamon' (riches), probably from Mishnaic Hebrew 'ממון (mmôn)'. And of course, the coins/cells of gold are made in the belly with an extreme rate of increase. Mammon is Fortuna or the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity, the Maman. The one who manifolds! The Bank, or the Cave of Ali Baba (we'll discuss why Sesame opens the cave another time and also how the Golden Calf is the child of the Cow and the Bull ;) And while we're at it, Amen and Amma (Mother) seems awfully alike: Wikipedia says that two English words derived from the root of 'Mn (be firm/believe) are: " a). Amen, from Hebrew ’amen (=truly, certainly); b). Mammon, from Aramaic mamona, probably from Mishnaic Hebrew mamôn, probably from earlier *ma’mon (= “security, deposit”)." And of course we have Maneh... which is the very similar Money in English...And Manna....

The Wise “Hanged Man” Sees Things Upside Down – The Right Way
It makes me giggle when I realize that my journey has showed me that so many things that some folks have had a “problem” with symbolically or have suppressed, is at the core of truth! That Sexuality is at the core of the sacred, that the Feminine is the original Hero and Pharao archetype and that the Goddess is Black; that Mixed Marriages are the original family archetype and that Jesus/Man symbolically is Half White and Half Black... That the white God principle is the same as the “Horned One” (NOT EVIL, but the death fire that minimizes and purifies, and the horn is of course the phallic cornucopia or the unicorn)... that Mankind is supposed to be a balance between the two principles...(androgynous in a way)... that the original meaning of Prostitute was the Wise Stealer of Fire (the Skillful Trickster that took the treasure/fire and ran away to the safe enclosure once the act was over)... That the Feminine is the Priest that Connects the Sacred to the Human through the Passover of her Womb... That Eden with all its species and multitude of plants was being expulsed from the "the only one" principle... that Mankind IS the measure of all things (If you know yourself, you can discover the processes of the grander universe)...that at the top of the mountain/the moment of enlightenment, you see Death straight in the Eye and I guarantee you it will fill you with Awe (not bliss!) as you experience the cross where everything intersects into the iota, the minimized essence of your heart imploding, stripped of everything else but your eternal essence... Bliss comes when you have descended... (Golgotha/Mountain/God = Death and being Anointed, "taken down", then Cave/Womb/Goddess= Transition and Gate, and Finally Leaving the Cave = ReBirth/Joy and Life, Mankind). Which means that symbolically being taken to God's Kingdom/Temple after resurrection, is of course Earth and the Living (Malkuth=The Kingdom of God), the dwelling place/temple/husk or Body....
PS: I beleive the phrase "Noli Me Tangere" after "resurrection" went something like this: "They/he can't touch me now" ;)
Bagging Seed is the Magus (Belly) Recipe for Prosperity
The lucky charms "The evil eye" (Greece) and the Hand of Fatima are both symbolic of the seed/eye/spark/word of God/the scorching principle being enclosed (bagged) within the circle/egg/womb/Flesh/Water (Amniotic Fluid). The red thread is a similar protection, which of course is the umbilical cord/blood ;) Folklore professor Alan Dundes explored the beliefs of many cultures and found a commonality — that the eye's gaze was specifically connected to symptoms of drying, withering and dehydration, and that its cure was related to moistness, and that the immunity from the evil eye that fish have in some cultures was related to the fact that they were always wet/in the sea (Ichtys=Christ, the Child). “God gave the fish a special blessing, and the fish were spared the punishment of the Flood of Noah.. Since they are hidden from view, fish are said to be spared from the “Ayin Harah,” the Jealous Eye”. Rabbi Max Weiman

Enduring Symbols Show Us the Original Truth
I SINCERELY BELEIVE that most ancient rituals, symbols and myths have a realistic base and rightly interpreted can guide us to the truth (many symbols have unfortunately been “twisted” over time). The key is not to approach them so LITERALLY or TO EXTERNALIZE THEM, but to look at the sophisticated symbolic layer underneath (scientifically as well). Symbols are like metaphors. It is vital to understand that humans BEFORE us sometimes had much more knowledge and also that correct information was twisted over time. Have you ever played the game when you whisper a word from one person to another and then the last person says it out loud? It is almost always NOT the original word. This is how I think many truths have been corrupted over time, with a great deal of help from unhealthy minds who wanted to alter reality for their own purposes and agendas. I also think many symbols have been wrongly interpreted from an air of superiority visavi ancient knowledge and "primitive" people...
We ARE the Symbolical Covenant Rainbow
God/Sacred masculine= Ray of Light, Sun.
Goddess/Sacred feminine= Prism, Raindrop refraction.
Human/Child= Colors, THE RAINBOW AND THE UNITING BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TWO!
The Bride is the Embellisher of the Sacred
Brides/Women are adorned, veiled, embellished, detailed and covered as they are the ones who supply the "covering and embellishment" of the unmanifest or sacred spark (the enfleshment in the womb)! Red (blood) would spontaneously seem to be the color for a wedding dress (white not so much symbolically, I would use that for death)... some trace the word Bride to the PIE verbal root *bru- "to cook, brew, make broth", and women sure are the ones that mix together the different ingredients in the bowl of their womb ;)
PS: Ironically, the covering up of women in some cultures have resulted in quite the opposite meaning, while covering in its true symbolism means the showing of the BEAUTY of our flesh and physicality. ;)
The Sacred Principles of Creation
The Three Pillars on the Tree of Life:
(And let me first say there has once more been a great deformation of the pure principles, claiming that the Goddess is Severity and God Mercy. It is the opposite. And don't forget, that only when they are joined, can creation arise/the middle or third syntesis)
- Pillar of Severity=God (White, scorch, reduce/focus, “death”, fury, chaos, mountain, emitting, lust, uncovered, judgment, head, war, dissolve, 1).
- Pillar of Mercy= Goddess (Black, soothe, multiply/disperse, “life”, order, love, valley, receptive, covered, root, coagulate, peace, 0)
- Middle Pillar, Human Being ("Jesus", Child, Synthesis & Balance, heart, colors, many).
PS: You cannot say that one principle is "bad" and one is "good", they are both relevant in their pure form (justified fury, scorch to make fertile etc). And don't forget that we are supposed to be "androgynous" in the sense that we should be a Balance of these two principles.
One Source – Two Ends
Just as the Root and Head belong to one and the same body, so it is with the sacred/divine. There is but One source, but with opposite ends. The head/top of the mountain is the God and the Root/cornhouse is the Goddess... and the connecting heart is the Human Being (a balance between these two pure principles and the Child)....Or, you can express it as though the God is the mountain and the goddess the cave inside. PS: That is, the phallic A (when opened) turns downwards and becomes the wombic Omega! Or the snake/ouroborous that bites its own tail (tail= phallus and mouth =vagina)!
Earth As Edenic Belly Of Goddess Sky
Being born in the Safe, Protective Edenic Enclosure/Womb is being born into the Round Belly Earth Mother. This is what the Egyptians tried to show with the Goddess Nut, being the enclosing Atmosphere/Sky. So, on a symbolic plane, you are a foetus when you live here, and when you “Die” you are A Fully Developed Baby, Ready to Break the Container and Grow into the Next Level, Reuniting with Your Father on the Other Side.
Blood & Iron & Death Passing Us By
It seems that in many cultures Blood is a powerful protection and this is often symbolized by smearing oneself in Ochra/marking doorposts with blood so Death will pass (passover), henna hands etc. I remember seeing the Massai in red jumping high and then landing and thinking this meant something important. What does it mean? Why does the blood "save" us (and why is the up and down motion so important - perhaps it is the process of all things - represented in the kundalini and the sexual act etc, the Muslims and others perform prayer going up and down )? Does blood/iron have to do with Magnetism? Heaviness plays a part too... I think the modern wordplay of "sang réal" (royal blood) and san graal (the grail) may have to do with this "divine" trace in the blood. The symbolism of the Plumbline also ties in with this. Even the Egyptian Opening of The Mouth Ritual symbolizes this, were the Iron Rod/Phallus (is symblically poured?) opens the Mouth (symbolic also of the feminine opening)
Becoming Whole is The Most Charitable Act
The most powerful act of healing for yourself, your children and this planet is to acknowledge and emotionally integrate repressed/unallowed shadow sides of yourself. *** Kristina
The Holy Headdress that Seals the Deal
Holy headdresses seem to exist in most cultures (turbans, kippahs, shawls etc) and I have always thought that a hat is a symbol that protects you from something. A sealing of sorts. A channeling not so long ago went something like this in translation: "Calotte is seed/semen/sign of Ra’s juice/going to mother". Does this imply that once one's crown chakra has been anointed, there is some kind of sealing (just as the baby's skull seals or the ovum seals once the semen has entered)? Once you have received the spark on top of the mountain, you become protected from the "bombardment" of the Ka/Above (I'm sure this can be translated to scientific principles as well). The covering and uncovering of Head is an important issue in the death/rebirth processes. Circumcision indicates the uncovering, for example. When the phallus is erect, it is uncovered, but when it falls, it becomes covered (from unmanifest to manifest? The masculine transforms into feminine) More to think about...
The Apple is Edenic
The Sacred Red (manifest), Round, Fleshy Apple with the Seeds enclosed Inside is a Sacred Symbol of the True Conception/Fruit/Seed. The fruit of knowledge was given as a seed/fruit from "god's snake", which created an ex-pulsion (ejection!) from the God/Mars/phallus aspect, and INTO Eden (the goddess/earth/womb.), where they had to be "covered" (enfleshed). The apple is the safe womb with the seeds in the belly! As usual the symbolism has been twisted until it is almost unrecognizable...
The Royal Family/Magi Bringing Abundance
To me it seems the white bearded, old one is the heavenly Father (the unmanifest), the young one (Caspar, the mixed one) is the Son/Jesus/Human/Man and the black one is the earthly (manifest) Mother/Madonna/Woman (sorry think there has been a corruption as usual, both in context and substituting the female part)...
We Are The Cells of a Greater Being
To believe in the "divine/god-principle" is understanding that there are different levels of consciousness and being, and just as cells make up our bodies, so we make up the body of a greater being than ourselves. It's just a matter of fractals, in different sizes and evolutionary stages. I also beleive there are orderly laws to these processes and one of the hero's/heroine's deeds is discovering them and being able to use them correctly.
Gerald Massey
"One implication of Massey’s work is that man’s path to self-reconciliation lies in making peace with the Cosmic Mother, the object of his abuse and repression over a period of 2,000 years, thereby effecting a harmonious re-alignment between the Mother and Father consciousness...The cosmos was created in a balanced equilibrium; the subtle and complex interplay between the light and dark gives meaning and form to the universe. In the Deified Human – who is Osirian in one mode, Christic in another – the opposites unite and are transcended" *** Charles Finch
Calypso – Cruel Cave Woman or Caretaker?
Another feminine archetype which has been thwarted... Odysseus was held by this sea nymph in a cave (womb, mother?)... Calypso means "hidden, hider" from Gk. kalyptein "to cover, conceal," from PIE *kel- "to cover, conceal, save"...
Black is Beautiful
Blackness has often been associated with for example evil, grief, nothingness and negativity symbolically, while it is actually the Birther of Light/life (just as the womb is dark). Black: O.E. blæc "black," from P.Gmc. *blak- (cf. O.N. blakkr "dark," Du. blaken "to burn"), from PIE *bhleg- "burn, gleam" (cf. Gk. phlegein "to burn, scorch," L. flagrare "to blaze, glow, burn"). Same root produced O.E. blac "white, bright".
Is it so that those that have been suppressed the most (for example women and black/darker-skinned people), are somehow symbols for the Original Truth. It seems to me that there has been quite some "propaganda" about middle-aged white men (the solar somehow) being the symbol of all goodness ;-) (nothing wrong with being that, mind you, but they have been overly emphasized as symbols).
Cover the Uncovered or Uncover the Covered?
In some Arabic countries, women wear black and are covered =goddess, and men wear white and are uncovered (god). But Humans are in actuality “grey” or mixed symbolically, as Mankind is supposed to be a balance between the two “pure” principles. And funnily enough, being covered means being revealed while being uncovered is being unseen! In tuareg culture they all wear a grey/blue color and the men are covered, while the women are not. It all depends on how you choose to show the symbolism of cover and uncover. The baby is being covered by flesh (made visible) while being covered by the womb (made invisible). To uncover means being born, while it also can mean take away the cover (dying for example).
The Path of Original Experience
"Visionaries move out of the society that would have protected them, and into the dark forest, into the world of fire, of original experience. Original experience has not been interpreted for you, and so you’ve got to work out your life for yourself. Either you can take it or you can’t. You don’t have to go far off the interpreted path to find yourself in very difficult situations. The courage to face the trials and to bring a whole new body of possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience – that is the hero’s deed." *** Joseph Campbell
The Feminine As Savior
Hail! sinful Adam's recalling,
Hail! Eve's tears redeeming. ...
Hail! O Star that bore the Sun.
Hail! the womb of God enfleshed. ...
Hail! through whom things made are all new made.
Hail! Bride unbrided. ...
Hail! By whom was loosed our sin.
Hail! by whom was opened Paradise.
Hail! Key of Christ's Kingdom.
Hail! Bride unbrided.
*** The Akatheosis of Mary - Constantinople circa 646
Pandora As Redeemer
Have you noticed how the Feminine Redeemer (transforms and calms God's Fire and brings about life) has been changed into the evil-doer in myth and history. That is, the one who brought about sin (Eve for exemple), not the one who redeems it? But when you analyze their names and the myth in detail, you often find that their strange epiteths have nothing to do with what the myth REALLY tells you. Pandora, for example, means "all-gifted," from pan "all" + doron "gift", from PIE base *do- "to give." Does that sound like someone who unleishes evil or someone who is in fact a Savior and Life giver? The only Sin, according to me, is that we lost contact with the Higher Principles/Source, and very narcissistically made ourselves our Higher Power and thinking we have noone but ourselves to give thanks to for this Eden we have been given to enjoy (which we have turned into Hell many times...)
Woman As Symbolic First Human – Aphrodite
According to Greek oral poet Hesiod, Aphrodite was born when Uranus was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw his severed genitals into the sea, and from the aphros (sea foam) arose Aphrodite. So from the Truncation and Spark of the Divine Male Principle reaching (falling into) the Feminine Water (Womb), Life/Woman/Human comes about. Woman = Womb Man ;) Rib = to cover, roof = perhaps implying the Light being covered by flesh? Maybe "God" created Eve as a Rib? ;) PS: of course the foam/churning represents the motion/friction/merging (of opposites) necessary to make Life!
The Heart is At the Core of the Matter
The heart is the core, the kernel, the center, the middle, the knot... what would be earth’s kernel... it would be the hot iron core... iron is considered a symbol for God/Mars... this hot molten mass trapped within the belly of earth/Goddess... again trapping God’s seed in the circle, is the magic... The spark is in the heart, the god principle puts the fire into the heart... The heart is symbolic of Mankind.. The Ancient Egyptians said their heart was their presence on earth....the solar symbol of the dot within the circle is this... the pupil in the eye means the same. Bagging the “devil/Fiery one” is the way to prosperity and life. Earth is protected from the Sun by its atmosphere too.... Is our iron in our blood a symbol of this as well...?
The Heroine Bringing Abundance to Earth
The Sumerian Goddess Inanna tricked the god of culture, Enki, into giving her the 'Mes”. It granted power over, or possibly existence to, all the aspects of civilization. Inanna traveled to Enki's city and by getting him drunk (arousal), she got him to give her hundreds of Mes (seed) which she took to her city (womb). Upon sobering up, Enki sent mighty Abgallu sea monsters to stop her boat and retrieve his gifts, but she gave him the slip. This is the archetype of Delilah, the heroine woman who makes Samson reveal the secret of his superhuman strength.
Reclaiming Feminine Archetypes
"Cassiopeia = The Empress. Cassiopeia stands for the female "Hanged Man" and also the Seated Empress/goddess in the Valley/Throne/Chalice, who IS very beautiful (in a deeper sense). Of course this symbol has been thwarted, just as so many other strong female archetypes. She was said to be vain and conceited. NO! Cassiopeia rules - and she was not vain but sure of her worth and her leadership."
The Igniting Spark of the True Thrower
Baphomet, Eros, The Eye, the Unicorn, The Rooster, The Bull, the Lord, Bal, Ra, Set, Mars, Orion, The Giant, Goliath, Ares, Pan, Kokopelli, The Hunchback, the Flute player, Father Christmas, The Hermit, the Instigator, Adi, The Minotaur, The Primal One, The Fixed One.... burning desire, heat, light, ardour, passion, unquenchable first fire, lust, the one who wants to be the sole one who looms, The Tower, the power principle, the one who makes you tremble and shrink, the lightning path...
By some called Satan/Devil, but really the horned Father Deer, the Ka of the universe... The Beast, ridden by the Scarlet Goddess, so Creation can be made in balance, by two principles merging to make the harmonious Creation/Human...*** Dr Hugh J. Schonfield, one of the scholars who worked on the Dead Sea Scrolls, argued in his book, The Essene Odyssey, that the word "Baphomet" was created with knowledge of the Atbash substitution cipher, which substitutes the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet for the last, the second for the second last, and so on. "Baphomet" rendered in Hebrew becomes בפומת; interpreted using Atbash, it becomes שופיא, which can be interpreted as the Greek word "Sophia", or wisdom. There is also the translation of the Greek words 'Baphe' and 'Metis'. The two words together would mean "Baptism of Wisdom".
Is the Laughing Goddess Alive in You?
Another quality of the feminine principle which buddhist Tara has, is playfulness. Tārā is frequently depicted as a young sixteen year old girlish woman. She oftens manifests in the lives of dharma practitioners when they take themselves, or their spiritual path too seriously. There are Tibetan tales in which she laughs at self-righteousness, or plays pranks on those who lack reverence for the feminine. Her playful mind can relieve ordinary minds, which become rigidly serious or tightly gripped by dualistic distinctions. She takes delight in an open mind and a receptive heart. For in this openness and receptivity her blessings can naturally unfold and her energies can quicken the aspirants spiritual development.

0 + 1 = Child, Life
Alvin Boyd Kuhn, in a lecture 100 years ago, explained that Jesus and Jehovah derive from the two letters—consonants not vowels—I (Yeh) and O (oo), which in the beginning of writing symbolized the two elements, spirit and matter, male and female. The I symbolises a phallus, and the O symbolises the vagina or womb. Together they represented the male-female deity, Yeho. We have, then, the letters IO.
Information Is Not Wisdom
"I’ve encountered many brilliant scholars, writers and gurus with incredible Knowledge/Information about ”Higher Things”. But only a small percentage of them had Wisdom, and a Heart willing to walk the talk. Many of them, worked with subjects which compensated/acted as a projection for what they did NOT have (instead of a Fullness): There was, for example, the Scientist who worked with water and the heart, because his feelings were so frozen; the scholar who was very into heart coherence because he was very incoherent; and the guru who interpreted ancient calenders (for future predictions and change) while being an embodiment of the old paradigm... *** Kristina
Medusa – Monster or Lifegiver?
Medusa means protector or guardian and she turns whoever gazes on her to stone. Sounds like the womb, that solidifies the "gaze of Ra's allseeing eye" (Me-dus-a =My dose of A ;). The snake head reminds me of the placenta somehow or the egg being surrounded by sperm (and the protective aegis shield with her decapitated head on may be the fusion -fertilized egg, where the tail/body of the sperm is "decapitated"- resting in the protective womb). Of course Medusa devours (the seed and the phallus), but not to bring about death, but life!

"We had expected to see a cacophony of frequencies in the X-ray emission from this violent caldron of hot gas, somewhat like the discord that results when you press your hands randomly on a piano keyboard," Lamb said. "Instead, scientists using the Rossi satellite found that these neutron stars are playing cosmic chords, with two or three nearly pure tones."
"The clockwork of the universe is much more orderly than we had dreamed," Lamb said." ************************ HUMANS HAVE CHANGED THE MATRIX TO DISCORD ON EARTH; BUT THE ORIGINAL MATRIX EXUDES HARMONY AND IT IS OURS IF WE JUST CREATE HARMONY INSIDE. THEN THE PURE TONES CAN FLOW THROUGH US AGAIN.
Ghetto & Harem is Eden?
Ghetto & Harem are words which originally denoted a separated and consecrated place, where righteous people go. Ghetto may originate from Yiddish get "deed of separation;" Venetian getto "foundry" (mixing place); Egitto "Egypt," from L. Aegyptus ; or It. borghetto "small section of a town".
Science of Consciousness
For me, beleiving in the Sacred is beleiving there is a science of consciousness, as well as there is a science of matter. And just like there are planets that are part of larger galaxies etc, so it is with consciousness. There are different levels and "sizes"... I never understood why people suddenly find it so strange when you start talking about consciousness. We all have it and it is crucial to us - what would we be but atoms put together, if not for that? It is what defines us after all. Love is not exactly a thing you can hang on a wall, but is it not the most essential thing we seek? I think the overemphasis on matter nowadays is a reflection of a soul impoverished, narcissistic human being...
Our Beautiful Bodies & Flesh
...and nature/creation are the living proof and result of "worship" - thus making sexuality sacred (when it is used the right way of course - only when you respect your temple/body). The body is the temple of the divine/unmanifest, with the eternal spark burning inside. We ARE the temples housing the spirit (or at least should be if we do it the "original way").... It's so strange, but it always seems that the truth is the one that has been distorted the most. Sexuality has been subject to so many distortions and shamings over the centuries, when it is in fact mirror for the most sacred of processes - that of creation and two opposites principles becoming one etc. (again when not abused, but used as an expression of connection, vitality, life lust and love). PS: Guess why the Menorah has nine candles (months;) and why this has to do with consecrating the temple...
The Goddess Menat Necklace
...to me looks like a phallus ejecting many colorful small parts/beads. On one end you have the mountain/phallus/One and on the other the valley/cup/enclosure of Many. If you turn it "upside down", it looks like a vase emptying out a multitude.
The Unmanifest Thought Comes First
Saying that our physical creation was made without a pre-existing idea/notion from some kind of consciousness* is like saying that you yourself create physical things without having an abstract idea/vision/thought/feeling/impulse first. This is what the Australian Aboriginals refer to as "Dreamtime".
* This does not of course mean that you say that evolution does not exist etc - all things have a scientific, orderly side too...it's just that Consciousness IS crucial in all universal processes.

Virgin as the Fruitful and Fulfilled Empress
"Egyptian may throw light on the Hebrew המלע (galmah), rendered a virgin, as applied to the pregnant and bearing mother of Isaiah 7:14. Kar represents gal as the round, circle, or course; kar also means to have, bear, carry; meh signifies to be full, complete, fulfilled. The course fulfilled by the galmah may be completed in puberty, by the marriageable maiden, or in the period of gestation. In the present instance the fulfiller of the course as the gestator is the galmah, the meht-den or mädchen" *** Book of the Beginnings
PS: "In folk etymology the word virgin comes from vir- (Latin for 'man') and -gyne (Greek for 'woman'), a man-woman or androgyne".
The Female Bacchantes Tell The Magician’s Tale of Original Process
The Bacchantes, whirled, screamed, became drunk and incited one another to greater and greater ecstasy. The goal was to achieve a state of enthusiasm in which the celebrants’ souls were temporarily freed from their earthly bodies and were able to commune with Bacchus/Dionysos. The rite climaxed in a performance of frenzied feats of strength and madness, such as uprooting trees, tearing a bull (the symbol of Dionysus) apart with their bare hands and eating its flesh raw, an act called omophagia. This latter rite was a sacrament akin to communion in which the participants assumed the strength and character of the god by symbolically eating the raw flesh and drinking the blood of his symbolic incarnation. Having symbolically eaten his body and drunk his blood, the celebrants believed they became possessed by Dionysus.
Capoeira – Dance of Creation
Capoeira takes you around the world/circle to fullness, cap-ira (to the top/centre/head, taking the ca/ka),where you castrate the rooster. The trickster hero is agile, skillful, can duck and twirl, a worthy opponent who can conversate with, honor & finally trick the rooster god to the final climax with fervor. A true crane’s flight and flutter. The bull-leaper in graceful motion. A true master is the one with impeccable white worship pants, not a stain. The ultimate prize the freedom of the diamond-roped body, purified and hardened by white and black twinning fast into synthesis. This dance/combat fuses cooperation with competition, groundedness and flight, physical with mental, masculine and feminine (probably supposed to be a mating dance!), trickery with honor...tradition with innovation....hard and soft... malicious intent and love..*** ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwG7JwXtUSI )
Samael/God/Angel of Death/Creator
Samael is described as "severity of God", and is said to have taken Lilith (elevated woman) as his bride, According to Zoharistic cabala, Samael was also mated with Eisheth Zenunim, Na'amah, and Agrat Bat Mahlat - all angels of "prostitution" (which in its original meaning meant accepting the higher seed.)
So the process is = god spark/word from A is transmitted through the anointment of I (the most condensed point) to O (goddess/elevated woman's womb), who, by going to fullness, gives birth to Man/Christ.
Athena – Every Lord has an Equal Lady
"We have seen that Baal/Tammuz was also called Adon, The Lord, who was the Greek Adonis, and Adon with the points is pronounced in Hebrew, Athon. Now, speaking of local names in the district of Laodicea, Eustathius states that Athan is God. The feminine of Athan is Athana, which, in the Attic dialect, is "Athena" which signifies The Lady, as does "Adon, or Athan, The Lord. This identifies Minerva, whose name in Athens was Athena, with the wife of Adon, or Tammuz, viz., Ishtar, and therefore with Beltis, whose name also signifies "The Lady." Minerva was the Neith of the Egyptians, the goddess of Sais, and was called "the mother of the gods," like Rhea, Isis and others. The Minerva of the Egyptians was also the mother of Apollo, who was the same as Horus, which shows that Minerva, or Neith, was identical with Isis, the mother of Horus." *** J. Garnier

Lilith – Proud Woman and Child Lover

The Precious Golden Child
The Ancient Egyptian Gold - Nebu - is symbolized by a hieroglyph that looks like a collar, but it also very much resembles A CLOSED EYE (of Ra). Nebu is also a word indicating Apollo/Son of God/Jesus/The Child... Is the Gold/Child the Ka/Sun condensed symbolically? And once the Child is formed, the Eye closes?
PS: The golden calf is of course the Child, the Bull's and Cow's Son!
Recycling Souls and Purging By the Unquenchable Fire
On his journey through Amenta, the Egyptian Osiris/Horus passes safely through the "lake of flame". The souls of men go to a place of purgation called the Meskat, where in order to became purified they must first be “beaten/ground/scourged”. The good souls of men who had endured Meskat were finally able to receive their reward in the places prepared far them by Tum, above the earth. This archetypal process can be done while being in the physical body, which Jesus and others did.
The Creative In-Between: One World
"The Sacred Marriage (union of opposites) symbolizes a potential world that contains a new creation, and it is situated in an intermediate realm. It is a subtle realm, neither spirit nor matter, the unus mundus.

It is the psychophysical reality beyond the split in matter and spirit (psyche), Wolfgang Pauli and Carl G. Jung looked for."

Jonah's name means Dove and both of them are peacemakers, reconciliators of opposites (The Child)! Luc-i-fer (light from iota bringer) was also a Fallen Angel = Human. There is no Sin in Falling, it is called BIRTH. The tomb/womb is simply a purifying chamber, a transformation cocoon between worlds. The only Sin is that we lost connection to the Higher! PS: Cetus (whale) and Coitus (coming together/intercourse) may have a common base ;)
The Creation Story of All Times
A chosen/pure lady/goddess is impregnated by God and Creates a Jesus/man/human and then there is some kind of chase/race. The woman flees with the godspark in her belly and the child is hidden/covered in a stable/cradle/ark/basket/ trunk/cave by his mother and is thus saved.
Who Is Mercy & Who Is Severity?
The Overemphasis on the God principle, is an overemphasis on fury/death/power/solipsism. This may be the origin of the Greeks' curious statement: "The Ioudians don't worship the Supreme Being---they worship the Demiurge".
Pharao = Empress Title?
The word pharao means something like "Great House" in Egyptian. Does not dwellings/houses/tents/caves usually denote the Feminine (just as the goddess Nut was the canopy/house of Human)? The Word, according to what I've read, does Not refer to the dweller of the House (which I would call Mankind/the Son) but the Palace itself, thus the Feminine/Mother/Womb.
A Child’s Heart is Heaven
Goodbye," said the fox.
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
What is essential is invisible to the eye."
"What is essential is invisible to the eye,"
the Little Prince repeated, so that he would be sure to remember.
"It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important."
***Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. - The Little Prince.
Rationality Versus Mystiscism
"There is No Magic, Only Laws Yet Not Understood".
Being Part of A Greater Body
"Aboriginal people learned from their stories that a society must be land centred, otherwise they forget their source and purpose...humans are prone to exploitative behaviour if not constantly reminded they are interconnected with the rest of creation, that they as individuals are only temporal in time, and past and future generations must be included in their perception of their purpose in life" *** C Morris
Wise Words From Ambres
"Humans talk about mysticism. About the unknown. It tickles her thought. But it also creates mists and veils, and it becomes so easy to get trapped in that land of shadows. Humans put mysticism apart from daily life, and what she calls reality, and approaches mysticism at certain occasions and places, where she creates rites and rituals. That which in itself is natural and obvious, is turned into something secretive. If you could approach that which you call the hidden secret with an open mind, it would come to meet you and open up the doors to all its secrets. As it is now, it is a well over which mysticism has covered a not very educating misty curtain. Everything that exists has an explanation. What you sense, suspect or think you see is also a part of reality. But rid yourselves of the mysticism around all this."
Father Sacrificies for Child/Son – Not Other Way Round!
“The ram (aries) is either named after the word Ares, that is, after 'Mars' - whence we call the males in a flock 'males' (mas, genitive maris) - or because this animal was the first to be sacrificed on altars (ara, genitive aris) by pagans".
So the Father/God/Mars/Ares/Bal sacrifices himself for his Son/Child/Christ/Man - which symbolically is much more healthy and makes sense ;) Sacrificing your own son does not make sense - and the story of Isaac being stopped from slaying his son by the divine, probably has its symbolic origin here...
Human/Child/Jesus also has his/her "Part of the deal" to fulfill, a sacrifice too, climbing the mountain/golgotha to be nailed on the cross (the cross occurs when we have made all elements/parts of ourselves intersect & merge in the core/heart), to receive the anointment and then taken down to the tomb/womb, where he must wait until resurrected/born, but more on that later...
Vibration Matters
"It is not the magnitude of our actions but the amount of love that is put into them that matters." *** Mother Teresa
Tellus Narcissism: Alone in the Universe
"To try to contain the wonders of creation in some pre-conceived formula of proper earth biology, or to believe that, in a Universe of billions of stars, one singular planet orbiting one singular star could possibly enjoy all of the elemental requirements for life to exist is, at the very least, self-serving and confining."
Why Are Loving Leaders More Likely to be Killed?
"One does to people who come across as being "feeling" and "soft" exactly what one has been forced, or chosen, to do to feelings and empathy inside oneself. In doing so, the world is made "right"; one's outer world coincides with one's inner world. The inner feelingness and compassion repressed, punished, ridiculed, and beaten back into the unconscious, the world too must repress, beat back, ridicule, and punish those who represent feelingness, vulnerability and compassion."
Nag Hammadi Library
"For whoever does not know self, does not know anything, but whoever knows self, already has acquired knowledge about the depth of the universe." *** Jesus in Book of Thomas
Walk the Talk
"Shall I not inform you of a better act than fasting, alms, and prayers? Making peace between one another: enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots." *** Mohammad
The Grail
"The jewel has been lost in matter
and everybody is looking for it.
Some look for it in the east
and some in the west,
some in water
and some among stones.
But the servant Kabir
has found its value
and has it wrapped with care
in the seam of the mantle of his heart."
*** R. Tagore, Kabir 72
Entering the Zero/Hanged Man
"In ancient Greece, healers would make the patient or candidate lie down in silence and darkness in an enclosed space, an underground room or a cave. They would either sleep and have a powerful, perhaps prophetic, dream or they would enter a state which was described as something other than waking or sleeping and, in this state, they would have a Divine vision."
Temples As Sanctuary of the Womb
Bruno Hugo Stricker shows how a god's shrine, formed from a single mighty rock, a so-called monolith in the inner sanctum of a temple, shelters the god-figures. In the morning, at sunrise, the wooden doors of the monoliths are ceremoniously opened so that the sunlight directly shines onto the god-figures within, who are thus revived. So the monoliths, too, symbolize wombs. The godfigures are like a baby in the mother´s womb (Stricker 1978). In the same way, every temple can be compared with a mother's womb, and accordingly, the entrances to such sanctuaries are
decorated." *** Franz Renggli
How Can You Hug if You are in Different Rooms?
The Divine/Spirit has left Earth, as we no longer are connected to it (this has a scientific side to it too). To be connected, all your energy centers have to be aligned/your crown chakra opened (anointed) and then the life force must descend to the holiest of holies (root). We are then birthed the right way and not only with the lower chakras. When this process is completed, our Heart becomes a relay (switch), connecting us to the Source and fusing the Above and Below, Male and Female.
Alchemist’s Job
The alchemist has to help the masculine divine/spiritual principle to descend into matter, to enter the feminine Goddess, i.e. matter or the human body, for the purpose of His and Her redemption and resurrection.
Why Does Moses Have Horns in the Bible?
Because the God principle is the Unicorn, the Phallus, The 1 Horn. The Goddess principle is the hollow, the inverted or interior of the horn, the 0, the womb. The Child/Pan/Moses/Christ would have 2 horns, representing duality on earth and nature? I don’t beleive it was a mistranslation, as some claim. The two horns can be likened to the Egyptian Dual Feathers (crown) that Thoth wore (another Christ figure).
Pyramid…Calcite….Calix… Chalice
Pyramid surface missing = highly polished limestone that mirrors Sun/Moon= calcite = calix = chalice. Double refraction = duality from oneness. Polish yourself and fuse all parts and you will refract the light differently, recreating the original matrix, a mirror of the one source.
Salome is Peace
When Salome (peace) takes of the veils, she sees the truth and thereby truncates the pyramid (metaphorically separates body from head, see Judith as well), so that that the top comes off, and the "seed" can be accessed.The masonic fez and the allseeing eye (pupil=opening) is a symbol of this. Most feminine archetypes have been devilified or made prostitutes (for accepring the higher seed) , but the truth always comes out in the end!
Receiving Abundance from God’s Cornucopia
"The Unicorn is noble;
He keeps him safe and high.
Upon a narrow path and steep,
Climbing to the sky;
And there no man can take him,
He scorns the hunter's darts,
And only a virgin's* magic power,
Shall tame his haughty heart."
*** Medieval German Folk song
*heroine with purified heart, who unites with the divine male aspect and through this love/union, receives the seeds and anointment of abundance..
Immortal Sophia
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting, get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote you: she shall bring you to honour, when you do embrace her. She shall give to your head (rosh) an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to you." - Proverbs
Why Must We Kiss A Frog?
A common motif, often found in tales (beauty & The beast f ex), is that the transformation is accomplished by a thwarted supernatural lover, who must be loved and kissed by the heroine, in spite of his ugliness. In other words, you must first see the face of the masculine God (incorporate rage/bitterness/fury/ugliness/death), in order to experience true life and love (get to the prince or the beautiful child). Thus, death is the bringer of life. When Christine kisses The Phantom of the Opera, and accepts and incorporates his "hideousness", she is set free. Thus the Kiss/Anointment of Death, is the Kiss of Life. The Snake that Kills, will also Heal and His Sepulchral Fabric Will Turn into a Meadow.
Batsheba – Daughter of the Oath
Just as Mary, she had both a kingly lover or man (divine) and an earthly one... just as it should be. (The divine Eros/God = being anointed by and connected to the above, sealing the oath/covenant of being a true image of the above). But as usual the story has been messed up and turned into a story about adultery, violence, death and all kinds of strange things.
Isis the Serpent Slayer
There is an Egyptian version of the myth, in which the woman is the subduer of the "evil one". Isis is depicted in the act of piercing the head of a serpent. In other pictures it is the crocodile, Shesh, whose head is being speared, as in the vignettes to the Ritual, and according to Diodorus it was Isis who subdued Typhon at the battle in An (Ant or Antaeus) in the north. " *** Book of the Beginnings
Semiramis – Forgotten Mythical Heroine
Semiramis was the daughter of the Atargatis of Ascalon in Syria, and was miraculously preserved by doves, who fed her until she was found and brought up by Simmas, the royal shepherd . Semiramis, succeeding to Ninus power, traversed all parts of the empire, erecting great cities (especially Babylon) and stupendous monuments, or opening roads through savage mountains. At length, after a reign of forty-two years, she delivered up the kingdom to her son Ninyas, and disappeared, or, according to what seems to be the original story, was turned into a dove and was thenceforth worshipped as a deity.
Hook Up to the World Wise Web
"Every Avatar, every Master, every Christed Being and Buddhic Being that has walked the earth has told you OVER and OVER again about your innate creator abilities. If one person on Earth can achieve anything, the entire flock of Mother Earth is open to that experience as well." *** Pleiadians
Phallus & Umbilical Cord
Both are Nourishing and Lifegiving "snakes" and both Have to be "Cut off" at a certain point to Enable Continued Growth.... Wonder why the umbilical cord is twisted (DNA, duality?), while the phallus is "one"-stringed?
Red God/Mars – Black Goddess/Venus – Two Sides of a Coin
Engai is the Supreme God according to the Massai People. There are two aspects to God: Engai Narok, the God which is black, the good and benevolent God; and Engai Na-nyokie, the red or avenging God, which is an aspect of God's holy anger. The black God is seen in thunder and rain, which brings grass to the cattle and prosperity to the Maasai; the red God is expressed in violent lightning, and the extreme dry season. To the Massai, God is the master of both life and death.
The Eye and Sun As Orbs
I wonder why the sun and eye (who are both orbs) are symbolic of the God Principle? Its a paradox really - as the orb/circle is symbolically "Goddess"... The rays of the sun being emitted or light coming into the eye... would to me more represent the masculine... The Goddess principle is the "passive"/resting one, the eye orb itself, while the God principle would be the active light travelling? Then of course, we have the One/many paradox - one sun, many rays, two eyes - one vision and on and on....
Feminine Origin for Hero?
The literal meaning of the word hero is "protector", "defender" or "guardian" and etymologically it is thought to be cognate with the name of the goddess Hera, the guardian of marriage; the postulated original forms of these words being *ἥρFως, hērwōs, and *ἭρFα, Hērwā, respectively. It is also thought to be a cognate of the Latin verb servo (original meaning: to preserve whole) and of the Avestan verb haurvaiti (to keep vigil over), although the original Proto-Indoeuropean root is unclear. According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, the Indo-European root is ser meaning "to protect". According to Eric Partridge in Origins, the Greek word Hērōs "is akin to" the Latin seruāre, meaning to safeguard. Partridge concludes, "The basic sense of both Hera and hero would therefore be 'protector'." PS: In Egyptian, Heru is Horus (Mankind, the Child), but it is actually the Goddess/Mother who does the "rescuing". I would call the God principle the Pursuer, the Goddess aspect the rescuer and the Child (Christ, Horus) the Rescued.
Tomb is Dark Womb, Boxed in is Life, Death is Being Born, Mummy is Image & Baby
There are so many paradoxes and "flipfloppings" in this universe. It seems as though the Mummy may be a symbol for the "divine spirit" entering the womb to become a Baby - there being cleansed, anointed and then "concealed"/covered.... Kind of like a little bean being sown in the dark earth/womb.
"The owl is a very ancient type; it was extant under the fourth dynasty, but was superseded by other forms of the nycticorax or phoenix. As a phonetic mu it still bears the name of the mother, and of the tomb, the chamber, the womb. As an ideograph it had the value of mmu or mum, the name of the dead, the mummy. Mâ, the name of truth and 'to see,' is often written mma. The owl is a bird of night that sees in the dark, hence its adoption as a type of the genetrix who reproduced with the tomb for her womb, the mother earth" *** Book of The Beginnings
Death is Life is Death is Life…
In Ancient Egypt the coffin might be called neb ankh (possessor of life), or wet and suhet. We do not precisely understand the meaning of wet, though it appears to be derived from the words for "mummy bandage" and to embalm. The Egyptians were attracted to word play, so it is likely no coincidence that another word, wetet, means "to beget". In other words, from the coffin the deceased will be reborn. This pun is strengthened by the word suhet, used for "inner coffins" or perhaps "mummy board". This is also the word for "egg", from which new life emerges (and hence its association with Easter). *** Jefferson Monet
The Song of Creation
"Every element has a sound, an original sound from the order of God; all those sounds unite like the harmony from harps and zithers." *** Hildegard von Bingen, born 1098
Ancient Egypt – The Universe as Fractal
"The microcosm is like the macrocosm: events of world-wide importance are
repeatedly related to and compared with human destiny. For example, heaven and earth are like
man and woman. Because of the fertilizing rain, a child grows as a kind of vegetation, so a
woman by her labor imitates the soil. An image taken from the animal kingdom in the way a bull
mounts a cow has been compared with Osiris and Isis, and the river Nile seen as fertilizing
sperm, yearly overflows its banks to fertilize the soil. Thus, all Egypt is compared with a uterus." *** Franz Reggli
Cain the Hero, not Traitor
Another misinterpration... Cain must slay (castrate/soften symbolically) the breath/solar/ka/A(lpha) or Ab-el (Father God!!), so he can be the Fool. In all ancient mythologies the "top must come off" (truncate the pyramid), so one can be anointed. You climb the mountain, and at the top (enlightenment), you get anointed/blessed. Cain is blessed with a mark that makes him "safe", not cursed (which interpreters find difficult to explain), but the myth has been distorted (they did not like the divine masculine "castrated" and interpreted it as "death forever", which is not true). The Father/Phallus must fall to the Ground (The Tower in Tarot) for the Son/Children to be made/born. All this in a cyclical process of creation and destruction....
The Last Supper of Soma is A New Break Fast
“The Soma (exilir, eucharist, anointment) is an important charcteristic of the Vedic Experience. Both Humans and the divine are involved in the same adventure. Both must become immortal, both must coalesce. While the divinization of Humans is a well-defined path, the humanization of the Divine is a mysterious process in which Soma is the link and sacrifice the means of attainment. The divinization of Human is not without repercussions on the Godhead, which in turn is humanized. Soma is the powerful symbol of this double and yet simple process. The Soma spirituality is based on fullness and not on want.” *** Raimundo Panikkar, The Vedic Experience
The Crescent Atop the Minaret
What do you think it symbolizes? The tower is of course phallic and the cresent/moon/sickle is feminine... What is She Reaping ;)? By the way, the deity Habul preceeded Allah, and was a moon god(dess)...
Resurrection
"I have traveled through the tomb, dark and lonely ground. I am here now. I have come. I see. In the underworld, I embraced my father. I have burned away his darkness. I am his beloved. I have killed the snake..." *** Egyptian Book of the Dead
Blogroll
Excalibur in the Stone…
... is of course the cross on Golgotha and also the phallic in the womb. The sword must of course be drawn out of the stone by a pure person... ponder why... on the other hand it is them thrown into water again (feminine)....
Sabaoth the Hostess of Many
Sabaoth (one of God's Names) is interpreted as meaning Hosts/Army/War (saba) but may as well come from the “saba” meaning "swell up"! So Hosts may be a plurality/many referring to the Goddess/womb.
Dalai Lama = Water Teacher
"Dalai" means "Ocean" in Mongolian, and is a translation of the Tibetan name "Gyatso," while "Lama" is the Tibetan equivalent of the Sanskrit word "guru," and is commonly translated to mean "spiritual teacher." Putting the terms together, the full title is "Ocean Teacher. Hmmm... again... is not Water a feminine element? It seems that the Fish-people (see Ichtys/Christ) are those that have the knowledge of the Goddess/Mother/Sophia, no?
Tau – The Cross of the Father Phallus
“The Tau, T, is the emblem of Mercury, of Hermes. It is the crux ansata and the crux Hermis. It was the last letter of the ancient alphabets, the end or boundary, whence it came to be used as a terminus in districts; but the crux Tau was also the emblem of the generative power, of eternal transmigrating life, and thus was used indiscriminately with the Phallus...It is the same with the crosses which have now the crucified Savior on them, all over the continent, and being engrafted into Christinaity, were thus preserved....”*** Godfrey Higgins, Anacalypsis
PS: The cross is where all lines intersect (quintessence) on the top of the pyramid/mountain, so one can be anointed and later reborn by this focused dot/ray of light/seed..
The King’s Kiss of Death Becomes the Prince’s Kiss of Life
Judah gave Jesus a kiss "of death" which is another analogy for the God/solar's scorching power and snake bite that pierces, but also eventually heals (the seed is released) and the Victorer/prince can eventually merge with the waiting ovum, just as the mother can unite with the son in the assumption/birth. This myth has been passed down in many stories: The prince awakens Snow White with a kiss, the prince awakens Sleeping Beauty with a kiss. The beautiful maiden is a moon goddess waiting in a state of passiveness until awakened by the kiss of the regenerated and resurrected god man.
Not sure of the details, but the main story is there (Eros and Psyche's Marriage) :)
Saturn/Sut/Set/”Satan” – Originally“ the Father of Light?
"The name Saturn was perhaps Set or Sut ur en, the Fiery One. The syllable Set may be resolved into Is-et, Light and Heat..." *** Harold Bayley, Lost Language of Symbolism
Hapy of the Flowing River (Aquarius)
"Lightmaker who comes from the dark,
Fattener of herds,
Might that fashions all,
None can live without him,
People are clothed with the flax of his fields,
Thou makest all the land to drink unceasingly, as thou descendest on thy way from the heavens. *** Hymn to The Flood, Elephantine, Ancient Egypt. PS: Hap(p)y was depicted as an androgynous creatre - a man with full breasts... perhaps the totality of the Divine?
The Light Seed in the Dark Womb
"Now give I the Key to Shamballa,
the place where my Brothers live in the darkness:
Darkness but filled with Light of the Sun,
Darkness of Earth, but Light of the Spirit,
guides for ye when my day is done." *** The Emerald Tablets, Thoth
The piñata…
... stands for the cornhouse of the one above (according to tradition you beat the devil - who funnily enough holds all these goodies ;) - I would call him Samael/Lord/Head), who by being found/excited/disturbed (in total faith and by inner seeing) releases his goodies/seeds/abundance down to earth.... It seems that most creation processes include two principles clashing and "knocking"....intercourse, the semen breaking/knocking down the wall to the ovum... the child's head knocking/ramming its way out of the womb...
Akhenaten – The Androgynous Man?
Man/the Christ is symbolically supposed to be a synthesis of the God/Goddess principles, and therefore "androgynous". Have you ever thought of the fact that Jesus, Krishna etc are often depicted as men with prominent feminine features too? I think this is why the Egyptian pharao Akhenaten (who introduced monotheism) was portrayed with a bit of belly/breasts and a thin face, Because of this some suggested that he maybe had some genetic illness, thereby missing that Symbols are used in a much more refined way in most ancient cultures...they are almost never literal. This way of deciphering ancient symbols so literally, show the primitiveness of some modern minds, rather than anything else ;)
The Mysterious Delphic E
... in the temple to me represents the fetus in the house/womb (I've seen several pics where the fetus looks like a small epsilon sideways). It is the three pillars together, and it is its the middle one and hub as well. It is Number 5, the hand and humanity. It is the Egyptian comb as well, with oneness one one side and many on the other... It is the third synthesis of the Child/Esa/Einai (Being, Essence).
The Child is the World and the Quintessence
"The ark or coffer is an image of the four corners, the earliest being that of the Great Bear. This was represented as the coffin of Osiris; and the four genii, human-headed, ape-headed, jackal-headed, and bird-headed, stood at the four corners of it, these being four of the seven spirits in Ursa Major. The primitive Ark was that of the goddess who united in herself the four types which are the originals of all the fours belonging to the four cardinal points."
The Trident of the Striking God
Poseidon used his trident (three tooth/spear) by striking to both destroy and create... funny that the “Devil” has exactly the same trident at his disposal ;). Spears are phallic and so is the striking. Again, three times seems to be the charm!
Ophanim as Feminine Throne
The Ophanim, were symbolized as (angelic) wheels below/supporting/enthroning God (opha=wheel in Hebrew). Would that not denote something feminine (circle, wheel). Just as the Womb is the Throne of the Phallus (thus all the seated goddess figurines ever since the dawn of humanity)? And they were full of eyes (seed). Some people think that Eva is the same as Eph, Epha or OPHA...? (On another note, Hanim in Arabic means Woman).
Ivi/Eve – The Begetter of Mankind
The Polynesian Eve could not be borrowed by the Missionaries as the Eve who was formed from Adam’s rib, as the Polynesian one preceded the male. Ivi is the genetrix, who existed before her son grew up to become her consort and to respresent both sexes in one. *** Gerald Massey
PS: This is of course why Jesus' Mother and Consort both are named Mary.
Tne House of Spirit is the Heart
The Egyptian hieroglyph for heart resembles an amphora and is such a strong symbol for something that holds/is the shell for something lifegiving. Just as the body holds the sacred spark. That is also why the Egyptians said the heart was their presence on earth.
Elohim As Both Aspects of the Sacred?
The name Elohim has been on my mind lately, and its plural suggestion of the sacred or divine principle, which has been so much under debate. El is the God/Lord/The One and then the next part, should in my mind, be the opposite, some kind of plurality. Suddenly I came to see the likeness of -lohim to -lehem (see Bethlehem) and the fact that lehem means bread. “Elehem” (bread of god?) fastly pronounced sounds like Elohim! That would make sense – and then incorporate both the Unmanifest/One Principle of The God/El and the Manifest/Plurality of Goddess/Bread.! PS: Some may call this pseudoetymology, but sometimes your higher intuition can be suprisingly correct ;)
Why A Tear in the Egyptian Eye?
Tears are excretions and may be likened to a liquid beeing released from the Eye/opening. Tears also denote mercy in a way. I have also seen paintings where the eye and the drop descends into what seems like a chalice or platter...
The Dual Face of the Divine – Shadai
“As to Shadai, the almighty... Shad in Hebrew may mean the breasts, mammae, paps, the breast of a woman for giving, suck, and Shadah to moisten, bedew, to give drink, to suckle...” *** Gerald Massey. I wonder if this divine name can have a dual meaning again – after all the phallus also gives drink and moistens when it gives off its seeds?
Gospel of Barnabas On Jesus Not Being Killed
"After Jesus had departed, the disciples scattered through the different parts of Israel and of the world... certain evil men, pretending to be disciples, preached that Jesus died and rose not again. Others preached that he really died, but rose again. Others preached, and yet preach, that Jesus is the Son of God, among whom is Paul deceived. But we - as much as I have written - we preach to those that fear God, that they may be saved in the last day of God's Judgment. Amen." PS: The Judgment is when the Trumpet/Phallus has spoken the Word/released the seed (three times - see the shofar), which can only be done when all your chakras have been cleared and purified.
The Moon Mirrors the Sun in its Round Belly
If the God Principle is the "person" mirroring in the Goddess principle mirror, is then the Child/Mankind the reflection/likeness?
To Conquer Means to Love & Bridge Over
Linguists think vincere (to conquer), and vincire, to bind or tie, are probably related. Varro gives the etymology of Venus from vincere, and says vinctio ‘binding’ is Venus ‘Love':
"Therefore the conditions of procreation are two: fire and water. Thus these are used at the threshold in weddings, because there is union here, and fire is male, which the semen is in the other case, and the water is the female, because the embryo develops from her moisture, and the force that brings their vinctio ‘binding’ is Venus ‘Love'. ***Anne Wright, Constellations of Words
Human = Bull’s Eye
Archer= God, Target= Goddess, Arrow in Centre= Child/Human!
April Fool is Baby Being Born!
The derivation of the name (Latin Aprilis) is uncertain. The traditional etymology from the Latin aperire, "to open," in allusion to its being the season when trees and flowers begin to "open," is supported by comparison with the modern Greek use of aνοιξις (opening) for spring. April is sacred to Venus/Aphrodite.
Adon Olam = the Concealed Son
Adon Olam is not the Father Lord but the Son/Mankind that is Concealed/Covered/Enfleshed by the Mother Generatrix.
Spirit/God Spark -> Woman/Goddess -> Mankind/Christ
"Genesis 6 tells us that the Nephilim were fathered by 'sons of Elohim' with human females. The phrase 'sons of God' may indicate angelic creatures but also the members of some very strong race. It seems that Nephilim were generated from human stock, not just once but often and separately, and not only before the flood but also after. The Bible basically states that biology allows that human females may be and have indeed been impregnated by spirit beings, a fact of course made ultimately evident in the conception of Jesus Christ." *** Abarim Publications
The Christ Figure on the Mountain Top
We read of Satan leading Jesus to the mountain top. The Devil has been represented in Jewish and Christian folklore and art in the form of a goat. We see him in Medieval paintings with the hooves, horns, and tail of a goat. The Greek god Pan was part goat and in ancient Babylon the goat was the emblem of the zodiacal constellation Capricorn. So the goat-god is imagined to lead toward the highest sun point, figuratively called the mountain top/head/phallus, where enlightenment occurs and the crown opens & one is anointed. After that, you run away to the tomb/womb, here you have to wait to be reborn... All creation is based on opposites merging & creating a third balanced synthesis...
The House of Ten
The House of Ten in Ancient Egypt was the Phallus and I find that intriguing, since 10 is BOTH the phallus (1) and the womb (0). Did they see this symbol as dual in nature (of course they didn't write the numbers the same way but I still think the symbolism is there)? The hieroglyphic ten is formed by the two hands clasped. Teka (Eg.) means to cross or join together, and the sign of ten was made by crossing the digits. Does 10 represent the phallus inside the womb (principles merged, like a Phi)? I instinctively think of the Maoris and the extension of the tongue (1) OUT of the mouth (0)... It's complex, because when the phallus withdraws from the womb, another 1 starts forming in the middle of the 0 womb...
I beleive the Pyramid is a symbol of this dual nature, both an Outer Phallus and an Inner Temple/Womb... And after all, the House of the Phallus would be the Womb!
Red Sea Parting is Birth!
"Rabbi Lapin points out that the word Egypt itself, or Mitzrayim in Hebrew, means a ‘narrow and constricted pathway just like a birth canal.’ So Israel was born as a nation as they left the birth canal of Egypt... just before the child is delivered, the mother’s ‘water breaks.’ During this process, the amniotic fluid from the womb flows out of the birth canal. Here, we can see a picture of the Red Sea parting. The water flowed outward, forming a wall on either sides... The ‘Red’ in Red Sea symbolizes the blood that is always involved in birth... (It is interesting that the name Moses itself means ‘drawn out’ of water, in that he, himself, was drawn/delivered/saved out of the Nile...)" *** Gus Wheeler
The Sphinx Had Another Face?
Had this vision of somebody disfiguring and changing the original Sphinx face, just as they had done in real life with Nerfertiti’s face (her mummy). The face in my vision had a broad (“black”) nose and was distinctly female. There is speculation that She (The sphinx) is much older than thought, representing a much more "original" Egypt. And that the head is much smaller than the paws etc, suggesting it may have been altered. Was the Sphinx originally a monument symbolizing the original Black Goddess/Mother cult, her womb being the portal/gate and the "coverer" (she is often called this). Helena Lehman in her Language of God in Prophecy seems to agree with the fact that she was originally a "negroid" woman. PS: It just struck me that the hindpart is Leo/west (hind-part: giving birth to, see lion of Judah as the jesus child) and the front is Virgo/east (The Empress)....
Origin of Earth and Creation
Gerald Massey derived an Egyptian etymology for the Roman word Africa from the Egyptian af-rui-ka which literally means ‘to turn toward the opening of the Ka.’
Tara – The Female Buddha
Buddhist Tale: "there is a young princess, called Yeshe Dawa, who for quite a number of aeons has received special instruction from a buddha in another world concerning bodhicitta — the heart-mind of a bodhisattva. After doing this, some monks approach her and suggest that because of her level of attainment she should next pray to be reborn as a male to progress further. At this point she lets the monks know in no uncertain terms that from the point of view of Enlightenment, it is only "weak minded worldlings" who see gender as a barrier to attaining enlightenment. She sadly notes there have been few who wish to work for the welfare of beings in a female form, though. Therefore she resolves to always be reborn as a female bodhisattva, until samsara is no more. She then stays in a palace in a state of meditation for some ten million years, and the power of this practice releases tens of millions of beings from suffering. As a result of this, she will henceforth manifest supreme bodhi as the Goddess Tārā in many world systems to come."
Chalice As Union of Masculine & Feminine
In Egyptian mythology, Meret (also spelt Mert) was the consort of Hapy, the god of the Nile, her name being a reference to this, meaning the Beloved. Since Hapy was the source of bountifulness, Meret was usually depicted with an offering bowl, as she was seen, being his wife, as the symbolic recipient of his abundance. So the Chalice is the receiving womb, where the emitting spark/living water or light is enfleshed! It is the Baby (Human), the synthesis and Life of the two equally important principles.
By the way, is not Meret very similar to the name Mary/Maria ;)
Joining Opposites Ties the Happy Knot
Hapy was also both god of Upper and Lower Egypt -this duality was shown by twin Hapy deities (one wearing the lotus=feminine and the other the papyrus=masculine). They were depicted together, pouring water from a carried vase or together, tying the two plants of the northern or southern region into a knot with the sema hieroglyph, symbolising the union of Egypt. PS: The word "Religio" (see religion) means bidning or tying together.
