It's fun to explore the ideas inside and being able to realize what others reflect back to you. As if it's a minature replication of the grand operation, that is to wake up the divine within us.
overview
Much of what we have been viewing stems from the ninth sphere. Many will ask, what is this sphere you speak of? What is a sephirot? Is it biblical? Good questions.
First lets understand what the tree of life is and isnt. It is defined areas that naturally have energy fields, isnt only for Satan worshippers. It is, for understanding, healing, and unification with "Upper Force". It isnt some fairy tale.
So, its interesting that the bible and many esoteric texts begin with the tree of life and end with tree of life. Also, some other texts from ancient times depicts more spheres upon a person (like 7 chakras + 5 senses of man).
The idea is that God, The Holy Spirit, and The Son (the three logos) are revealed through the top three sephirot; Keter (crown), Binah (Understanding) and Chokmah (Wisdom).
We know we can never replace or be as great as God. But, we can elevate ourselves to a higher place. To be co- creators, when a disciple tried to walk on water, yet failed. The Teacher states why did you not believe? Evidence that mastery over all creations upon earth (malchut) is encouraged, almost expected.
The other evidence of this being true is upon the dark half which whores itself out. Which gives birth to endless political circuses, endless war, endless distractions, endless strife, destruction of natural order, destruction of family, destruction of spirituality. It is so, so that a person never understand themselves.
To understand, is to begin to face all the contradictions internally that comprise one's (thought) expression. When has a church ever considered these energy fields? Yet alone speak about ascending "the ladder" or teaching how its done?
Ephesians 4:22-24 English Standard Version (ESV)
22 to put off your old self,[a] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
From now on, when you see the sun and moon depicted, understand that this ephesians verse is summarizing the goal. The moon (the feminine half) "lunar body" and the sun (masculine half) "spiritual body." The goal is to "change robes" from lunar to solar. Process is done by elevating to Keter. "Renewal by the spirit of our 'minds.'" Interesting, right?
Behind steemit, thoughts like these are what flood the mind. Its like witnessing something and learning how to interact with it.
Until next time.
And thanks for reading, this.
Having attended many churches when I was younger, and then studying/debating scriptures for many years after I left I am amazed at how ignorant many are regarding their own books. Seems most use their books for one of two reasons:
To justify their desires.
To use as a weapon against those they disagree with.
As much as I love words, they are inadequate in conveying our connection with God. The books presentations confusing and sadly lacking in a hands on approach that would make the connection a truly personal one.
Thanks for sharing. I have tended to be more of a doer and am not knowledgeable in the system you describe. After my time learning and debating I came to the conclusion that systems are rituals whose main purpose was to act as a channel to focus, and am of the belief that one can will it without a system if ones intent is pure. Possibly to my detriment, lol.
Try the exercises for a week. Then write about your observation? Please!? Your skills are superior, interested also what you observe.
I get though what you're saying.
For reasons I don't wish to divulge here publicly, I am going to decline. I will say that I know of others who have used this template and that they were able to do some powerful things that were not for good intent. So I do believe you when you say that it can work the other way as well. When I have time to log into my email (I haven't forgotten, just busy) I will explain more fully.
Overly fabulous =)
Thanks
