THE HEXAGRAM <br />AND<br />
HEBRAIC SACRED SCIENCE
</h1>
<p>
Variously called the <b>Shield of David</b> (<em>Magen David</em>),
<b>the Star of David</b>, and <b>Solomon's Seal</b>, the hexagram has come
to be the symbol most identified with the Jewish people. Composed of two
equilateral triangles whose apexes are defined by the six radial arc points
of a circle, this six-pointed star is an important esoteric symbol,
associated with the heart Chakra in Tantric yoga and discovered in the
ground plan of Stonehenge.<sup><a href="#fn1" id="fnref1">[1]</a></sup> It
has long been thought that it was Arabic alchemy that in the West most
popularised this symbol of equilibrium between the opposed archetypical
forces of fire (the expansive force represented by the upward pointing
triangle) and water (the contractive force represented by the downward
pointing triangle). But since in the Arabic literature employing this symbol
the hexagram is normally given a Hebrew derivation through the terms
"Solomon's Seal" or "Shield of David" by which it is
called,<sup><a href="#fn2" id="fnref2">[2]</a></sup> it may well be that
there was a continuous association of the Jewish esoteric tradition with
this esoteric symbol of David and Solomon that preceded Islam. The Talmudic
reference to the hexagram engraved on the seal ring of Solomon<sup><a href="#fn3" id="fnref3">[3]</a></sup>
supports the possibility of an early association of the hexagram with Jewish
esoteric understanding and practice reaching as far back as the biblical
period.
</p>
<p>
Gershom Scholem supports the contrary view that “the hexagram is not a
Jewish symbol.”<sup><a href="#fn4" id="fnref4">[4]</a></sup> He does admit
that this figure and its names, “Seal of Solomon and Shield of David . . .
go back to pre-Islamic Jewish magic”,<sup
><a href="#fn5" id="fnref5">[5]</a></sup
>
but considers that the hexagram “had one and only one purpose in its career
as magic: to serve as protection against demons.”<sup
><a href="#fn6" id="fnref6">[6]</a></sup
>. But Raphael Patai, in his important book <i>The Jewish Alchemists</i>, has
traced a very different history for the alchemical tradition that must cause
a major revision of the received opinion concerning the relationship of Jews
to alchemy and its hexagram symbol. As he reveals:
</p>
<blockquote>
The first nonfictitious alchemists of the western world lived, as far as
can be ascertained, in Hebraic Egypt. And the earliest amongst them was
Maria Hebraea, Maria the Hebrew, or Maria the Jewess, for whom our chief
source is Zosimus the Panopolitan. Zosimus is the first Greek alchemical
author whose actual writings have survived. He lived in Hellenistic Egypt,
about 300 C.E. . . . We can thus tentatively assign her to the third
century C.E. at the latest.<sup><a href="#fn7" id="fnref7">[7]</a></sup>
</blockquote>
<p>
In the quotations from Maria’s teachings, cosmological principles appear
that have been thought to emerge only later in the Kabbalah:<sup><a href="#fn8" id="fnref8">[8]</a></sup>
</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li>
”One becomes two, two becomes three, and by means of the third and
fourth achieves unity; thus two are but one” . . .
</li>
<li>
“Join the male and the female, and you will find what is sought.” . . .
</li>
<li>
“If you do not render the corporeal substances incorporeal, and the
incorporeal substances corporeal, and if you do not make the two bodies
one, nothing of the expected will be produced.” . . .
</li>
<li>
She (Maria) said: “The philosopher (Pseudo-) Democritus said . . .
‘Transform nature, and make the spirit which is hidden inside the body
come out . . . Destroy the body, and make it become water, and extract
that which is in it.’” . . . “The ‘water’ which I have mentioned is an
angel, and descends from the sky, and the earth accepts it on account of
its (the earth’s) moistness. The water of the sky is held by the water
of the earth.”
</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>
Maria Hebraea reveals alchemy to be a sacred science much like the more
theoretical sacred sciences of geometry, harmonics and number, the precise
procedures of metallurgy, the first human technology, being studied and
valued not only for their mundane usefulness but for what they can reveal of
the principles governing both natural law and cosmic possibility. Her first
quoted rule, which we are told “the Hebrew priestess shrieked,”<sup><a href="#fn9" id="fnref9">[9]</a></sup>
seems to foreshadow the kabbalistic doctrine of the <em>Partzufim</em>, the
divine personalitities. Appearing in the <em>Bahir</em>, the
<em>Zohar</em> and Lurianic Kabbalah, are the five main such
<em>Partzufim</em> related to the ten circles, called <em>Sefirot</em>, of
the Tree of Life Diagram.<sup><a href="#fn10" id="fnref10">[10]</a></sup
>
</p>
<p> ...The six-<em>Sefirot Partzuf</em>consisting of the last 6 <i>sefirot</i>
above the last, <i>Malkhut</i>, may be said to combine a divine upper triad
(<em>Chesed</em>-<em>Gevurah</em>-<em>Tiferet</em>) with a human lower triad
(<em>Netzach</em>-<em>Hod</em>-<em>Yesod</em>), a unification of the
infinite and finite that fulfils and models the purpose of Creation. This
purpose is the generation both of the supernal son and so achieve the
unification of these two levels of divine sonship, a cosmic purpose
previously presented as the Hebraic secret doctrine of the son.<sup
><a href="#fn11" id="fnref11">[11]</a></sup
>
</p>
<p>
<sup
><a href="#fn12" id="fnref12">[12]</a></sup
>...The meaning of this “unification” of the transcendent or “incorporeal” with the immanent or
“corporeal” is well understood by what the tenth-century Arab alchemist Ibn
Umail understood Maria to mean by the descending water or angel through
which nature can be transformed to realise the spirit within it: “As for her
statement ‘[The water] descends from the sky’, she meant by this the child
which they say will be born for them in the air, while conception had taken
place in the lower (region); this being (through) the higher celestial
strength which the water has gained by its absorption of the air.”<sup
><a href="#fn13" id="fnref13">[13]</a></sup
>
The sexual model, imputed not only to humans but to metals, is important
because it sees the Great Work of alchemy to be such a unification of the
opposing metallurgic procedures for dissolving the fixed and coagulating the
volatile as can generate a more precious new being, “the child which they
say will be born for them in the air,” one whose perfection consists
precisely in the conjunction of both these purified qualities.
</p>
<p>
Maria Hebraea’s alchemy also seems already to suggest use of the hexagram
model, the descending “water of the sky” not only denoting the descending
triangle of the hexagram but also the concept of the upper and lower waters
in the Genesis creation account, which we shall later see can also be
modelled by the hexagram and in a way whose clarification of otherwise
inexplicable features of the biblical account reinforces the early
association of the hexagram with the sacred science of the Hebraic
priesthood.
</p>
<p>
Patai provides much evidence to show that “Jewish alchemists were the
teachers of both Muslim and Christian alchemists in the Middle Ages, just as
they had been of Hellenistic alchemists in antiquity.”<sup
><a href="#fn14" id="fnref14">[14]</a></sup
>
One Arab work, falsely attributed to Khalid Ibn Yazad, is particularly
indebted to Maria Hebraea, as can be seen by the following quotation:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
But this dissolution and congelation, which I mentioned, is the
dissolution of the body and the congelation of the spirit, and they are
two but have one single operation, because the spirit cannot be congealed
except with the dissolution of the body, and similarly the body cannot be
dissolved except with the congelation of the spirit. And the body and
soul, when they are joined at the same time, each acts on its partner,
making it similar to itself. . . . For the composition of artifice or
magisterium is the conjunction or matrimony of the congealed spirit with
the dissolved body. . . .<sup><a href="#fn15" id="fnref15">[15]</a></sup>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Again this essential alchemical marriage of opposites seems suggestive of
the hexagram model, the “dissolved body”, signified by its ascending
triangle, “joined at the same time” to the “congealed spirit”, signified by
its descending triangle, a conjunction that represents the culmination of
the Great Work of alchemy, the production of the “Philosopher’s Stone”. As
Patai indicates, in considering the alchemical legends surrounding Solomon:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
The close association between Solomon and the philosopher’s stone is show
by the fact that the materia prima of the stone was sometimes represented
as the two interlaced triangles of “Solomon’s seal”. . . . the sign of the
“fiery water”, since it consists of a combination of two symbols: that of
fire, which rises upward and hence is symbolised by the upward pointing
triangle, and that of water, which descends from the sky and is
represented by the downward pointing triangle. The old midrashic
interpretation of the Hebrew word for heaven, <em>shamayim</em>, namely
that it is a combination of the words <em>esh</em>, fire, and
<em>mayim</em>, water, was known by the alchemists.<sup
><a href="#fn16" id="fnref16">[16]</a></sup
>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
Recognition of the coherence between the doctrines of alchemy and the
Kabbalah appears in a Jewish sixteenth-century treatise entitled
<em>Esh M’Saref</em> (The Refiner’s Fire):
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>
But know that the mysteries of this wisdom (i.e., alchemy) do not differ
from the supernal mysteries of the Kabbalah. For just as there is a
reflection of predicaments in sanctity, so there is also impurity. And the
<em>sefirot</em> which are in <em>Assilut</em> (the first kabbalistic
world) . . . are also in <em>‘Asiya</em> (the fourth kabbalistic world of
matter) . . . yea, even in that kingdom which is commonly called Minerals,
although on the supernal plane their excellence is always greater . . .
Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, is of the type of the vulgar students of
nature who set about contemplating the valleys and profundities of nature,
but do not descend into its secrets, wherefore they labour in vain and
remain servants forever. They give counsel about procuring the son of the
wise, whose generation is impossible for nature. (2 Kings 4:14). But they
can contribute nothing to his generation. . . .<sup
><a href="#fn17" id="fnref17">[17]</a></sup
>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>
The great secret shared by both the Kabbalah and alchemy is that which I
have termed the secret doctrine of the son, that “son of the wise, whose
generation is impossible for nature,” and who unites the essential qualities
of the higher and lower planes, of the infinite and the finite....
</p>
<p>
In the Maria Hebraea of the second or third century C.E. Alexandria, we may
see a union of Hebrew esoteric teachings with some seed elements of an
Egyption Hermentic practice of metallurgy that bore the new ideological
fruit of alchemical formulation.
</p>
<p>
At the same time in Palestime there was a parallel theoretical
development that showed a similar concern with the opposing qualities of
fire and water and so with the possible employment of the hexagram to
symbolise their union. This is the most important text of Hebraic sacred
science, the
<em>Sefer Yetzirah</em>, in which the fire is correlated with the mother
letter <em>Shin</em> and the head, water with the mother letter
<em>Mem</em> and the abdomen, and the air, which mediates between these
opposed elements and their upper and lower location, is correlated with the
letter <em>Aleph</em> and the chest. As in alchemy, though differently, this
text defines the process of generation of the cosmic man. Given that in the
latter alchemical tradition, the circumstances of upper fire and lower water
betoken the model of the hexagram, referent to the hexagram in the
<em>Sefer Yetzirah</em>, concerned as they both are with the same sacred
scientific quest to study those features of theoretical or technological
science whose precise process appear to reveal the structure and purpose of
existence.
</p>
<p>
One feature of this ancient science that appears to have
surfaced alike in the teachings of Maria Hebraea and the
<em>Sefer Yetzirah</em> is a peculiar joint definition of fire above and
water below, which in the later alchemical tradition was identified with the
figure of the hexagram and given a Hebrew origin in the names by which it
was known, Solomon’s seal and the Shield of David. As with the discovery of
Troy just where Homer had claimed it to be, so it seems reasonable to
conclude from the long association of the hexagram with Hebrew kings that
his geometric figure was, indeed, a particular aspect of the Jewish esoteric
tradition going back at least to the Temple priesthood. . . . It is
appropriate at this point to review the method by which the hexagram is
geometrically constructed. As will be seen, it is a method that recreates
the primal acts of creation as they are defined from these very geometric
processes in the esoteric traditions that have a geometric base.

The Tree is a diagram composed of ten circular <em>Sefirot</em> and the
twenty-two paths connecting them. The names of the ten <em>Sefirot</em> both
define the attributes of a single divine figure and the five Partzufim into
which they are transformed in the course of cosmic history. These names are
<em>Keter</em> (Crown), <em>Chokhmah</em> (Wisdom),
<em>Binah</em> (Understanding), <em>Chesed</em> (Mercy),
<em>Gevurah</em> (Judgement), <em>Tiferet</em> (Beauty),
<em>Netzach</em> (Eternity), <em>Hod</em> (Splendour),
<em>Yesod</em> (Foundation), <em>Malkhut</em> (Kingdom). As
<em>Partzufim</em>, <em>Keter</em> is identified with
<em>Arikh Anpin</em> (Long Face), the original <em>Partzuf</em> who is the
source of the next two <em>Partzufim</em>, <em>Abba</em> (Father),
identified with <em>Chokhmah</em>, and <em>Imma</em> (Mother), identified
with <em>Binah</em>, whose continuous mating is responsible both for the
continuous process of creation and the generation of the originally
androgynous <em>Ze’ir Anpin</em> (Short Face), the son figure identified
with the six <em>sefirot</em> from <em>Chesed</em> to <em>Yesod</em>, from
whom the daughter-bride <em>Partzuf</em> of the <em>Nukvah</em> (Female),
identified with <em>Malkhut</em>, separates in order to mate intermittently
with <em>Ze’ir Anpin</em> and so both direct the course of Providence and
generate the higher souls of the righteous. The six-<em>Sefirot</em>
<em>Partzuf</em> of the son is clearly the most important, and may also be
said to combine a divine upper triad
(<em>Chesed</em>-<em>Gevurah</em>-<em>Tiferet</em>) with a human lower triad
(<em>Netzach</em>-<em>Hod</em>-<em>Yesod</em>), a unification of the
infinite and finite that fulfils and models the purpose of Creation. This
purpose is the generation both of the supernal son and so achieve the
unification of these two levels of divine sonship, a cosmic purpose
previously presented as the Hebraic secret doctrine of the son.

<em>Ze’ir Anpin</em> and daughter-bride)] achieves unity [a metaphorically

<p>When a person feels desire towards something, he can then make contact with its core – the divine desire to be. But only if he experiences divine pleasure in its being,<a href="#_end1" name="_top1"><sup style="color: lightgreen" style="color: lightgreen">[1]</sup></a> will he achieve the true fulfillmint of his desire, to touch its soul. However, the degree and intensity of this pleasure is governed by the object of desire’s place in the chain. The more spiritual the thing that is desired is, the more fulfilling will be the pleasure it yields – for it is closer to the source of all pleasure.<a href="#_end2" name="_top2"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[2]</sup></a> The ultimate experience of pleasure lies in the experience of union with the Source, where pleasure resides in its most pristine form.<a name="_top3" href="#_end3"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[3]</sup></a></p>
<h4><i>Pleasure as Displeasure</i></h4>
<p>In its lowest reaches, the Chain of Evolution yields things that are
inconducive<a name="_top4" href="#_end4"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[4]</sup></a> – or even contrary – to what G-d desires.<a name="_top5" href="#_end5"><sup style="color: lightgreen, font-weight:">[5]</sup></a>
</p>
<p><a name="_top6" href="#_end6"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[6]</sup></a>The capacity of these things to give pleasure is an existential paradox.
All pleasure is but the embodiment of the divine pleasure in creation, while these pleasures are divine <u><b>dis</b></u>>pleasures – things contrary to creation>.<a name="_top7" href="#_end7"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[7]</sup></a> Yet they, too, are products of the divine desire, since their capacity to give pleasure fills a certain function in G-d’s purpose in creation: G-d desired that we be confronted with a choice between
good and evil (so that our deeds should be meaningful and significant). But G-d wants that these things should exist only in order that man should reject them as contrary to His very existence; so theirs is an existence whose inner essence – those function and raison d’ētre – is not to exist.</p>
<p>Let's use the metaphor of digestion to explain the phenomenon.</p>
<p>Digestion is the process by which food passes through the various organs which break it down and separate its finer elements from its coarser ones. At each phase of the process, this separation grows more and more defined; ultimately,
the finer elements in the food evolve into body-building cells and energy, and its coarser elements are ejected by the body. Both the nutrients and the waste are products of the digestion system; but the former is generated to be used, while the latter is generated to be rejected and therby enable the body’s absorption of the former.</p>
<p>By the same token, the Chain of Evolution is like the cosmic “digestive
system” in which the essence of creation is processed into the substance and the energy of the universe that G-d desired. This process (like every process we know) also generates waste – elements that must be separated and disposed of in order for the desirable product to function.<a name="_top8anc" href="#_end8"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[8]</sup></a></p>
<p>Of course, G-d could have evolved His world in such a manner that the good develops without any separation of waste, or, for that matter, He could have not evolved it at all. But G-d desired that the good in creation should be all the more sharply defined by its contrast with the rejected evil; that human life should be an exercise in refinement – in distinguishing between the calories of divine energy and the sludge of putrid waste in our own self and character, our environment and our world. Indeed, the very concept of good, as we know it, would be devoid of all meaning were it not for the challenge of rejecting the evil that vies for validation and indulgence.)<a name="_top9" href="#_end9"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[9]</sup></a></p>

<p><a name="_top1" href="#_end10"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[10]</sup></a>Based on the above, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, explains the following
incident related in the Talmud:<a name="_top11" href="#_end11"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[11]</sup></a></p>
<p>Rabban Gamliel, Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah, Rabbi Yehushua and Rabbi Akiva were walking along the road when they heard the sounds of the crowds of Rome in the distance. They began to weep, but Rabbi Akiva laughed.</p>
<p >Said they to him: “Why are you laughing?”</p>
<p >Said he to them: “Why are you weeping?”</p>
<p>Said they to him: “These barbarians, who prostrate themselves before statues and sacrifice to idols, dwell happy and secure, while we – the footstool of our G-d (i.e. the Holy Temple in Jerusalem) was consumed by fire. Shall we not weep?”</p>
<p>Said he to them: “That is why I am laughing. If for those who transgress His will it is so, how much more so is it for those who do His will.” (<i>Talmud,
Makkot 24a-b</i>)</p>
<p>Rabbi Akiva is saying: If the waste produced by the divine desire in creation can yield such pleasure for the hedonist, imagine the pleasure to be derived through the fulfillment of His will, which is the source of all pleasure!</p>
<h4><i>On the edge of the Holy Land</i></h4>
<p>
Therein lies the deeper significance of the idolatory (of Peor)<a name="_top12" href="#_end12"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[12]</sup></a>, and the explanation of why the people succumbed to it on the eve of
their entry into the Land of Israel.</p>
<p>
On the face of it, the idol worship (of Peor) was a particularly
repulsive activity. In truth, however, this was but the physical
encoachment of what a person does every time he prefers an unG-dly
pleasure over a G-dly one: he is worshipping the offal of creation,
venerating something whose only significance is its need to be
rejected in favour of the energies that are extracted from it.</p>
<p>
This is why the vulnerability (to Peor) came about at the close of
their forty-year sojourn in the desert, as they camped on the east

For forty-years, the people had enjoyed a wholly spiritual existence.
They were fed, clothed and sheltered by daily miracles, leaving them
free to pursue the divine wisdom of the Torah, without the
distractions of the material state. Most telling of their state was
the fact that the mann, the “bread from heaven” on which they
lived, was wholly absorbed into their bodies, engendering no waste.
They inhabited a spiritual idyll, in which the waste of creation was
unknown.</p>
<p>
But now they stood at the threshold of a new era: they were about to
settle the land, till its soil, engage in commerce and polotics –
i.e., to live a physical life sustained by physical means. For the
first time in their history as a nation, they were to be in direct
contact with the nether levels of the Chain of Evolution – with
that part of the cosmic digestive tract which sperates the waste from
the body of creation. For the first time, they were called upon to
differentiate between vital matter – matter that nourishes a
spiritual end – and dead matter – matter as an end in itself.<a name="_top13" href="#_end13"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[13]</sup></a></p>
<p>
Not all were equal to the challenge. There was an outbreak of Peor
worship<a name="_top14" href="#_end14"><sup style="color: lightgreen">[14]</sup></a> in the camp, as many were enticed by the psuedo-pleasures to be found in the undesirable by-product of creation. Until one man came, and with his selfless commitment, unclouded vision and
decisive action, put a halt to the plague of Peor.</p>

What would oppose that is, upon making contact
with its soul and core, the desire to destroy it – or lead it into
darkness. It is as if they need to feed off this life force, this
divine desire to be. They take no pleasure in its being, but only in
its demise.

It is also know that below a certain threshold, more of this thing will
not bring more pleasure – but probably more pain i.e. will end up
increasing the pain in the world, instead of the spirituality.
(torture/blood/ritual)</p>
<p>These are the finite things for which we can
have infinite desire, for no matter how much we desire them, no
matter how much we feed on them, they will not be able to satisfy
this hunger – for it is a spiritual hunger, a hunger that will
only be assuaged by things that contain the essence of the divine in
them. (children?)<a href="#_top2"><span style="color: lightgreen; font-weight: bold">↩</span></a>

It is similar to the process of conductivity. If we think of the
Divine Energy as electricity, and it needs a conductive material to
flow. If there is a non-conductive part of the path along which it
wishes to flow, there will be a blockage – and eventually damage
at that point.

Analysis:
<ol style="list-style-type:hebrew">
<li>If we imagined a chain, it has a
beginning, source, and an end. Thus the end would be defined as the
point furthest away from the source. Furthest in this sense would
mean the most unlike the source. Something like the broken
telephone. The further away from the source of the message, the
more the message drifts from its original. Or if you imagined the
light as the source, then it would be darkness on the other end. If
it was life, then death would be the end.
<li>But what we are talking about here is
process or chain of evolution from the source of evolution itself.
Thus it must evolve from something to something else – and the
only place the unity, perfection can move to, is the opposite of
everything that it is.
<li>Thus this evolution becomes an evolution
from the source to whatever the source is not, and thus it becomes
inconducive to whatever radiates along this chain of evolution.
<li>Thus if we name the Source, G-d, then the
statement of whatever G-d desires, is inconclusive. Because this
very chain of evolution is G-d’s desire. For nothing can exist
without G-d wanting it to exist. Thus, it is not contrary to G-d’s
desires, unless we interpret G-d’s desire to be what radiates
from the Source, and thus as it gets further and further from the
Source, it begins to contain less and less of it and thus is less
able to conduct the “desire”.
<li>Remember, this is not spatial, although
we have to use spacial constructs to explain it. <a href="#_top5"><span style="color: lightgreen; font-weight: bold">↩</span></a>

Interestingly enough, this is what happens to those who begin to descend into the
darkness. Like those who are depressed, suicidal, in despair. When feeding from
something external and thus material (idolatory), the loss of this external
manifestation will bring about a spiritual crises.<a href="#_top6"><span style="color: lightgreen; font-weight: bold">↩</span></a>

Here in this case, when we speak of Rabbi’s, we are speaking of
people who have studied and practised their faith all their lives.
People of similar ilk exist in all cultures, religions and
societies. Thus this is a story of Rabbi’s, but they could be
Buddhist monks, or Sufi imams, or Christian priests. One could begin
the story, three wise men were ...<a href="#_top10"><span style="color: lightgreen; font-weight: bold">↩</span></a>

<p>
<a name="_end11" style="color: lightgreen"><b>11) </b></a>
we continue to the story below, as my intention for this teaching is
for it to accessible to as broad an audience as possible. Thus in
the usage of some archetypes, we use a word that is common to our
culture. However, we do not wish to restrict it only to that
context. If we speak of G-d, we think of G-d as both transcendent
and immenent, as the One that is everything, everywhere and without
whom nothing would exist. It could be Ha’Shem, Jehovah, the Holy
Spirit, Allah, the Source, the Creator, Great Spirit, Buddha, Jesus,
the Holy Prophet, blessed be His name, and the names of all the
prophets. These all call to that infinite Being that cannot be named
by any name, by is called by all names.
</p>
<p>If we refer to anthing or anyone, include G-d,
in a particular gender it is not to diminish any other. We could
play the game of using She instead of He, or even It. But It is
neither He nor She nor It. But we are restricted and constrained by
the terms and manner of the language and its cultural norms. In
English, we could use It. However, in Hebrew, there is no it –
thus G-d is either He or She... and they chose He! Now we can turn
all the He’s into She’s and then the gender problem will be
solved....</p>
<p>The debate over gender is only pertinent with
the background of gender discrimination in a society. It has no
intrinsic effect on that. Perhaps we have a bible that contains He
and another version that uses She instead. The first is used by the
men, and the second by the women. BTW, if that was done in the
Hebrew bible, it would require the verbs to be changed to the
feminine form in these cases too.
</p>
<p>I would rather seek to understand what we mean
when we use He and what aspect of G-d are we expressing when we use
the feminine pronoun. Let us explore deeper the feminine expression
of G-d, and then only change those. We could possibly continue to
use the masculine form of the verb, as is often done in modern
Israel, with the feminine pronoun. I have to point out that there
are many commentaries, some relying on the Gematria (numeration) of
verses to derive certain conclusions. Many of these would no longer
be relevant if we amended the text. Finally, how are you ever going
to convince us to change a text that is millinia old?<a href="#_top11"><span style="color: lightgreen; font-weight: bold">↩</span></a>

I parenthise this, because although the story might be familiar to
all those who have read and studied Torah, to those less familiar
with the story, the tale of the Israelites falling into idolatory on
the eve of their entry into the Holy Land – speaks to me of the
need for vigilance, especially when close to your goal, is the time

As Galileo Galilei so powerfully stated the credo in 1623:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Philosophy is written in this grand book -- I mean the Universe -- which stands continuously open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language in which it is written...</i></blockquote>
This statement is at the basis of much of the spiritual exploration of humanity. In Judaism we have the Torah, which is the Word of God - and Hebrew which represents the primordial alphabet. Each deep exploration into the complex environment in which we are born follows a similar path. Just as our lives being knowing nothing, and we have to explore our own (and others') grand narratives through the world around us.<br />
<br />
He continues to make a definitive statement, and this statement has become an axiom of belief, one of the basic tenets of the what I would term the modern religion: science.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth.</i></blockquote>
The three pillars of that world view - Euclidean geometry, Galilean mathematics, and Newtonian physics. They formed a mighty edifice and it stood for over 300 years, eventually ruling over us with a might that has never been seen before. As we stand on the precipice of a new age.<br />
<br />
However, that is not where our story ends. For some 350 years later, Benoit Mandlebrot, in 1984, asked - just as Galileo questioned the geocentricity of the solar system:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Why is geometry often described as cold and dry? One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline, or a tree. Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line... ...<b>Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity. </b>The number of distinct scales of length of patterns is for all purposes infinite.</i></blockquote>

He continues, and I think that in this is a recipe for our future:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>The existence of these patterns challenges us to study these forms that Euclid leaves aside as being formless, to investigate the morphology of the amorphous.

For the last four days we did not have any electricity, though we do have running water fed from a nearby stream. Consequently, I am behind in some important near-term goals that could positively impact my future, and thus I cannot spend as much time describing this morning thoughts as I would have. There are also some interesting jewels of thoughts that arose during my four day Sabbatical during which I was reading a book of Chassidic tales, mixed with a deep dive into the some of the underlying mathematics and thus philosophical ideas at the base of fractals and the Mandelbrot set. Fascinating stuff.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, to remain present for now, the thought this morning was regarding the feeling of sitting last night, once again, in the shadowy flickering lights of candles and firelight, unwashed and silent. The night sky clear and full of twinkling stars, deep darkness whispering all around. I was still, but waiting. And this morning, with electricity coursing through our home, revelling in the feeling of hot water cleansing me after four days, and thought of all those who are cannot wash when they need to, and how it is to live under that duress.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am humbled and grateful for the blessing that I have in my life, and my prayers and thoughts go out to those who do not have this blessing of water, and comfort.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We say prayers and blessing for the sunlight and the moon, the seas and the water that sustains us, the food that nourishes and the love that surrounds us. But we do not bless the light that comes from this power that we have named electricity. It is, in fact, a "greater" light than that that has come from the sound. Some say it is ancient sunlight. It provides us power, and at present, we can no longer survive without it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once the lights came on again, what did strike me was the difference in the electrical light versus the firelight. The former radiated its light outwards, illuminating all in its path, whereas the latter, fire light, was much more seductive in its interplay of dark and light, and drew one in to its flitting center.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have a wonderful day.</div>

It generally crystalises enough to enable me to capture it. For we all know how many thoughts, ideas, concepts, are like wisps, misty fingers almost touching for a moment, like the promise of a caress - for a moment there, and then gone... forever. Whereas our feelings are more like that of reacting to the touch of someone - whether liked or not, attractive or not, allowed or not.<br />

What is a thought anyways? How do we even manage to think thoughts? Even dreaming up such a mechanism is amazing. Scientists spend their time collecting data, and trying to find the "thing" that thinks. Is it the brain, or the electrical synapses? Those that delve into such things are becoming quite esoteric, talking about Bose-Einstein condensates, and other such amazing concepts to try and explain this incredible event.<br />

The outstanding event is not that we think at all - for we assume that many more evolved animals both on sea and on land, are able to think. Even, perhaps, the awareness that we think, and exist, might not be special, for animals might be able to do that too.<br />

No... the actual element that differentiates us, is not that we think, or are aware that we exist, but of death, and the time that stretches from your birth to your death. (tombstone with date picture). That time in which we create a narrative that runs parallel with your actual life, and has a big part in determining who you will be (if a youth) and who you are (once mature).<br />
<br />
This morning my thoughts were around the Covid-19 pandemic raging in this time as I was considering a journey to the closest major city - East London. The images of entering this world of masks and crazy responses to the spread of a flu flitted through my mind. Imaging interacting with this world, and like a worm retreating from an unpleasantness, so I felt myself retracting. As long as I can keep away from the Covid-19 infection, I will. And it is not the virus I am afraid of, but the people's reaction to the threat of viral infection is scaring me. It has that brutish, reactive, thoughtless feeling like a mob preparing for a rampage. At this point, it is still just small breakouts, like little flames. The conflagration is yet to come.<br />

<br />
What if we declared a Covid free zone where we lived? I mean, one in which we just live normally, and accept the fact that we have a flu moving through our village, and it may infect a certain number of people, and some may even die. But we need to deal with those who are in need, and the rest of us need to continue living our lives and supporting and sustaining one another.<br />
<br />
For I can promise you one thing, that the aftermath of this pandemic will be catastrophic. We can already see that the world we will emerge into, will not be the same as the one we have left behind. Even if it is only with masks, and disinfectant, and plastic shields, that we will be living with now, that will not be what the "end game" will be. With the amount of power politics in the world. With men (and women) with egos massive enough to believe that they can make rational decision for millions - an absurdity which we have bought into as well as we continue to vote for people to hold such positions of power over us.<br />
<br />
<br />
Either we believe that our government and governing bodies have the ability to sort out this mess, or we don't. If the former, then wait and see. If the latter, then we need to get off our butts and start organising ourselves out of this mess before it is too late - otherwise we are going to descend into the same sort of quagmire as Zimbabwe - an economic mess with a dictatorial overlords ruling over everyone and luxuriating in the spoils of their lifestyles.<br />

As you can see, this visible band is quite small in relation to the rest of the EMF spectrum. And though we are now much more familiar and aufe with most of the spectrum, the gamma rays are still quite mysterious, even more so since we have been listening and looking for these rays in the cosmos too. This brings me to the interesting phenomenon of the two "fermi bubbles" as they are called on the "vertical axis" of the milky way.<br />
<br />
I just recently took a jaunt down to the field of gamma rays. In the total range of electro-magnetic frequencies, our focus is generally on the visible part of the specturm and its immediate neighbours - infrared and ultra-violet, and further into radio waves, microwaves and even x-rays (which are actually a low-frequency form of gamma rays).<br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">However, a much less explored area is that of gamma rays, which are the high-energy frequencies that occur at t he "top" of the EMF spectrum. The ones we were aware of, until recently, were all produced by a change in the nucleus, thus we find them in the explosion and creation of stars and cosmic events of that nature. Then recently we found that the earth emits gamma rays, though we are unaware of a source, plus there are many gamma rays in the cosmos (almost 1/3) that we have no idea of what is producing them, and finally these two strange bubbles that we have detected around the milky way. </span></div>

Another interesting fact is that the earth is being bombarded with these high-energy gamma rays, and it is the atmosphere, acting like a skin, that protects us from these "destructive" rays.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But all of this investigation was prompted by an interesting article I which I titled <a href="https://drive.google.com/open?id=1F-wqo_Vmf3n40ZBtILnlmZQxvA8blQvlAMb9yJ547Vc">"Gamma Rays & God"</a>, a version of which can be found on Joe Lanyadoo's website, "http://theoriginoflanguage.com", from which the original article was taken - unfortunately I could not locate it again on the website. But Joe is the one who came up with the idea, and although it is at times a stretch, he tenders a very interesting hypothesis, and that is that the telepathic communication from "God" or the angels, is transmitted in images, and the He (God) uses the gamma rays to communicate with us (and possibly other species as well). Now, before you rush away saying what rubbish, hear me out for a moment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gamma rays are the highest frequency electro-magnetic waves that we are aware of. If God was from a realm of existence that was of a "higher" or more subtle frequency, one which we are unable to sense, then it would make sense that if there was any part of that subtle frequency that we would be able to sense, it must be in the higher frequencies. One could propose that gamma rays are the lower or more dense "spiritual" energy that exists in the universe.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And we have become "objectively" aware of these waves. That is a huge jump in consciousness.</div>

He speaks of the golden circle, consisting of three concentric circles. The outer circle represents the "What", the inner, the "How", and the center circle, the "Why"...

<span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shamanism has blossomed these past years and rightly so, as it is very
needed on our Earth at this time. But what of the shamans? How do we
know who is real, who is true? As I have walked this path, I have come
across many shamans, shamans from indigenous cultures who may have been
great healers but have taken advantage of the energy of others, shamans
who are not initiated into any particular culture, but they are
impeccable in their work. Some shamans are full of ego, some have
incredible gifts and talents, and some are just for show. There are
techno shamans, ceremonialists, shamans who live
in wildness, and some work quietly at home. Many are good healers, and
some are better teachers. There are shamans who will not be called
shaman, preferring another name, and some who do not care what others
call them. We all have the archetypal shaman healer inside us, but not
everyone is called to work this way on the outside, to totally BE that
very Nature. </span></span></span></div>

training with teachers. This is an imperative action. I am very grateful
to my teacher...forever, as she has helped me grow into myself, and she
has blessed me with the energy of her lineage, filling me to this day.<br /> <br />
Shamans are wounded healers, humans, everyone has been through trauma
and pain. It is this experience and wisdom that helps them expand and
connect with the one who needs their help and assistance. But here is
the caveat, it is essential that they continue to do their own work too,
it is absolutely necessary that they clean out their own thoughts,
their own inner landscapes and continue to clear their non desirable
patterns. Otherwise they run the risk of falsity, of over empathy, and
thus holding a clients energy down instead of releasing it.<br /> <br /> As shamans, we are here in human bodies, and the more I do this shaman work, the more human I become. I am honored.<br /> <br /> much love,<br /> Lyn Spirit Eagle.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></h5>

Guides are numinous embodied energy. Embodied as
a recognizable being, they arrive in many shapes and sizes. I notice that it
does not matter what culture a person comes from, angels, jaguars, wolves,
porcupines, phoenixes, can appear. The shape they come in tells us something of
the nature of the energy they bring to assist us, or what it is we need to work
with. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We all have guides and we can all call them. We need to be
open, commanding with clear intention (who wants to receive a wimpy guide?). Do
this in your sacred space where you will be undisturbed. Take your time and let
it be a sacred event, something special. If no one comes, that’s OK, another
time will come. You can also receive guides in ceremony or with a shaman to
facilitate you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There is wonderful love and compassion with our guides and
if not, question your need for a guide who is not loving you. The frequencies
of guides we want to attract are sacred, loyal, and trustworthy. We have our
own frequency, and a blend of many other frequencies that we enter or activate.
Receiving a deep and potent Panther may be a frequency of energy that
challenges us in our ruthlessness; or encourages us to understand the powerful
shadow side of our moon, the beauty in the dark. A praying mantis reminds us to
be still, especially when we are blocked by trying to make decisions. The
mantis <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">never makes a move</span> unless
she is totally positive it is the right thing for her to do. Whatever the
medicine of your guide, you need to feel happy with them in the sweet spot in your
centers. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our frequencies are our own and we are responsible for them.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Look into your new guides eyes, they must respond and look
into your eyes too. If you feel uneasy, tell them thank you, but no thank you.
They must leave, you do not want any lurkers...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They must arrive in front of you or from your right. They
must tell you their names, ask them. Do not share these names with anyone. It
may be a peculiar name, no matter; it is for your personal relationship only.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They must tell you what they will be assisting you with.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They can be with you all the time or anytime, this depends
on what you want. You can discuss this. You can call upon your guide from anywhere. Breathe!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes a person has Water as a guide, or Jesus, or a
plant and that is OK, they must still arrive when you need them. Sometimes we
have a few guides for different kinds of work.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pay attention to your guides often so that your relationship
grows and the energy doesn't dissipate. Smell them :) You let their energy flow
in you.<br />

<span class="fcg">There is a lot of info and talk about <span style="color: cyan;">ENERGY,</span> having
energy, seeing it, running it, and doing something with it. There are
many types of energy that we dance in, blunder around in. I would like
us to work a little more closely with some of them.<span style="color: orange;"> This Saturday
afternoon, @ 3pm, 13th April, </span>I would like to share (vibrate sound and light)
perspectives and practical ways of handling it. These will be Medicine
Spaces, and here we will do some practical exercises with our auric
fields, find fulcrums, points of Zero Space (centering), disentanglement, relationship (the energy between two points), barriers
and constraints. We will practice shield body exercises, protecting,
clearing and repairing outer shields and nurture inner shields. Be
prepared to do some movement that may be challenging, though not
compromising</span><br />

A
simple shamanic tool with many uses. Traditionally a rattle was made with
organic materials, but we can use tins, or bottle tops too, as rattling is
essentially about breaking up static energy with intention, or calling an
attention, settling energy, making protective barriers and focusing.<span style="color: yellow;"> SOUND (ENERGY)</span>
vibration, a tiny sonic boom, can be very useful in aiding a person to project
energy. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are the ones who shake out a
particular sound vibration from a container and it can take a long time to
master. Like the drum, the rattle serves as a bridge from everyday
consciousness to sacred altered states. It can assist us to turn down internal
dialogue and becomes the vehicle you ride into dreamtime and Mystery. It is
excellent for doing diagnostic work, for opening up areas where energy is
blocked, for re-establishing energy flow, and for helping to remove dense
energy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Some
rattles have medicines such as acorns or shells and bells tied on the outside;
some have beans, bones or seeds enclosed on the inside. What you put in your
rattle will determine the sound produced: beans can be sharp and staccato. Gem
stones and pebbles a harder heavy sound. Sea shells a brighter rushing sound,
and seeds create a soft swirling effect. Have a Google of images and materials
to make rattles. You are also welcome to buy one of those R10 maracas from a
Chinese store, feel if it feels OK as a basic, you can paint and decorate that, and
make it in as your own.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
Sunday
@10am. Bring materials, we will journey for our personal information on our
rattle and then make them. I imagine we will be finished @3pm, so bring some
lunch to share. </div>

<span style="color: yellow;"><i>“The breath, the vessel about me, a quickening, moves down, in.

<br />
Our inner journeys abound with metaphors, synecdoches and hue filled
images from our psyche. The allegories of our inner landscape are of
assistance to us in our manifestation from the intangible into the
tangible. With discernment, we can throw a bridge across the chasm that
separates the sublime from the density of the 3D world; we can
shapeshift our way of life on the planet.<br />
<br />
There are different kinds of inner journeys we can go on. Some have
permissions and gateways to negotiate. And before entering another
realm, it is advisable to check whether we are allowed to enter those
spaces or not, as some pathways may not lead to the most beneficial
space. For example, we may be entering the dream of a lover, or someone
else’s sacred and intimate place. For the journey to our inner
sanctuaries, our axis mundi, we ask the trees who guard the pathway if
we may enter. In Kabbalistic writing, they speak of guardians along the
path and we must ask permission in the correct way, or have a password,
to continue.<br />
<br />
When we do plant journeys, we also need to ask permission
or blessing of that plant as vehicle.<br />
Journeying provides insights into your life, its meaning and purpose.
It trains your ability to move from the 3D world into an altered state
where healing can occur. It is a valuable skill as you can vitally
empower yourself by creating a safe and sacred place in your axis mundi
from which to do your journey work. From this place, you can be guided
to source and clear up issues, place your intentions.<br />
<br />
Often these days, in our 3D world, we are trying to make money or a
better life for ourselves in some way that we THINK, is the correct way.
But we are not our minds, our thoughts or our bodies. We are Spiritual
Beings experiencing this material world in these human clothes – our
bodies. We have an innate aspiration to Ascend and release the Divine
sparks of light enclosed in the depths that we encounter.<br />
So we go inside to find out what is in our hearts, the center of our
selves, and in this way, with proper intention, we become empowered to
co-create the 3D world we live in.<br />
<br />
We can ask questions, but it is important to ask the right questions,
for the structure, our relationships, are different in altered states.
The rules are not always in the way we think of it as being from our
experiences in this realm. That is why we need a teacher, or a power
guide to decode this inner, shamanic narrative and show up the true
felt-sense of our hearts.<br />
<br />
We need the discipline of our protocols to ascertain the axis mundi
in journey work. For instance, we can become smitten by playing out
there in the cosmic soup without any boundaries, so first learn the
place of your axis mundi, your own sacred space of creation. It is
representative of the symbiotic tension of constraint and creation.
Besides engraving the tracks and signposts upon your neuron pathways,
constraint is also needed for creation. Space, in our world, is
necessary for events to happen and thus we need to constrain ourselves
in order to create this space for them to grow. Also, by constraining
ourselves, we are able to control the energy flow. The more consciously
we can do that, the more clearly we are able to determine that energy
flow. Energy does not pour out in flamboyant bliss when we are
constrained. We need to separate the “this” from the “that”, to notice
the spaces and the relationship between, so that we can prepare the
space for our creativity. It is as though we make river banks to allow
the waters to flow. This is the time of separation from the mundane and
the waiting on information from Great Spirit as to how to fill the
space. Only then are we to allow something into the space.<br />
<br />
We have given a structure of meaning to the word “Creativity”, and it
is spatial and innovative, it has a certain unfolding or enfolding
dimensional temporal quality. It is metaphorical, conceptual, has form,
poetic even. It is transformative in that we participate in it. It is
the mysterious process by which we come up with new ideas and new ways.
If we don’t have this then we have no more movement, no more
transformation, no more challenges in life—in other words, no more
humanness. By paying attention to our inner images, the allegories of
our inner landscapes and what they say, we are asking the wisdom of our
inner guidance to help us to move more lucidly through life. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span><br />
<br />
There is an “energy from beyond” that vivifies our bodies. By
engraving these pathways of emergence and by being disciplined about
acknowledging them, we can get to know the Way, we can make signposts.
These protocols have been handed down to us from the Ancient of Days.
They are well defined, and we engrave them by going there often. It is
like any practice. Any discipline.<br />
<br />
In the beginning, it is like going on a holiday to a new place.
Arriving at night, we notice the traffic lights and hotel. We go in and
sleep. Upon awakening in the morning, we notice that the traffic lights
are still there and that the hotel is pink. But now, in addition, we
notice that there is a shop on the other side of the road and the beach
is around the corner. The following day we notice more. Spaces and
structures come to light and negotiating the area becomes easier as now
we have noted the signposts that help us to stay on track. This is
similar to negotiating the sacred space of our axis mundi which resides
in another realm, just as our eyes only go to where we have told them to
go to bring back information.<br />
<br />
We create from chaos, and chaos knows no bounds—feminine as she is.
Order defines the boundaries so that the throwing of our dreaming bodies
into new possibilities does not land in a chaotic mess. Structure holds
the vessel in which we meet the future that we have created. Be still.
Understand and allow the beauty of Saturn—the great teacher of
measurement, structure and constraint—to in-form the possibilities of
our futures. It is within that crystalline structure that life has the
most degrees of freedom.<br />
We can call upon complexity theories to show us how it works but to
stick to simple language, when practicing magic one does not stand in
the cauldron but steps back, separating oneself from the quickening, in
order to allow it to express itself.<br />
<br />
One of the most profoundly creative journeys we can do for our well
being is a forgiveness journey. We may have forgiven a person or event
time and time over, letting go of patterns as we do these days but
still, it hurts. It is because as we hurt, we create armor, a husk, a
shield, to protect us. This is painful to be trapped in. It is this
armor that we forgive ourselves for holding. It is almost like our
personal ventilation system that is blocked close in to our self.
Compounded by fear we hold this shield for our vulnerability, in case…in
case…we hurt again. It is an expression of our separation and creation
of space that fear can reside in. So we fashion the sacred space of our
own axis mundi to forgive ourselves first, removing the heavy energy
residing in our bodies and placing it outside, in the manifest world.
When I prepare for this ceremony, I place a bowl of water near to me.
My guides assist me to find the place where the felt-sense of the hurt
resides in my body. I take it out and place it in the water. This energy
can be signified by any variation from black muck to darts or arrows.
When I return from the journey, I bless and thank the water for holding
that dense energy for me and pour it into the earth. By letting it go,
and placing it with Mother Earth, who deals well with it, who takes it, I
become cleansed of hurt and anger.<br />
<br />
Explanations from neuropsychology on how the brain functions during a
shaman’s journey link Heidegger’s debate that understanding is “always
ahead of itself” thus projecting expectations that interpretation
attempts to clarify. Physicist Von Neuman asserts that “we
futuristically collapse a wave function in ways that cause a
fundamental, unknowable disturbance in the system”—<i>creating</i> and
spontaneously bringing into existence something that did not exist
before. Therefore, it can be said that we “know” already, what the
synecdoche and metaphors mean, when they are retrieved from our inner
conscious by an artist of the spirit who brings them forth into
creation.<br />

<b><span style="color: lime;">We are all Artists of the Spirit</span></b></div>
<span style="color: cyan;"><i>An authentic artwork is not always a comfortable narrative. Its
beauty comes forward from a unique personality in an expansion of
individuality “and that in one divine moment, and by selecting its own
mode of expression, a personality might make itself perfect”. Oscar

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Every week, a portion of the five books of
Moses, known as the Torah, is read in the synagogue. The reading that I wanted
to share some of my insights, and questions regarding is the portion known as </span><span dir="RTL" lang="HE" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">פרשׁת
וִיַרְא</span><span dir="LTR"></span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span dir="LTR"></span>, Parashat
Vayire. The part of the portion that I discuss in this piece, consists
essentially of Genesis, Chapter 18 &
19.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 21px;">It is, to put it mildly, a heck of a text. It has 3 angels visiting Abraham, to tell him and Sara, both approaching their 100th year of life, that she was going to have a baby. It contains the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, with Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt. Then we have Abraham's lying about Sara being his sister, and finally the binding of Isaac.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 21px;">As much as I would have liked to have completed the whole chapter, at this stage, I am sharing just up to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorroh and Lot's ending up in a cave in the mountains with his two daughters.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 21px;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Whenever I approach these texts more closely,
I keep in mind the environment in which this story takes place, which, I have
to admit, was probably something a lot different from that which we are
accustomed to today. Ignoring the lack of “modern technology”for the moment,
let us note some of the strangenesses that were spoken of from those days. Let
that strangeness allow us to open our minds to the non-rational, or perhaps the
supra-rational. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Using shaman methodology to investigate this
story, I look at what part of it could be a journey, and what part of it could
fit into my understanding of what I will refer to, as the “3D” or“consensual”
reality in which we live. I do that because I take the journey to be one that
will take me to a non-material realm. And the non-material realm is where the
spiritual begins. For it is the realm of the ideal, of the vow, of the Brit. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Approaching it from the English rendering, in
which the Parasha begins with the nameless aspect of G!d, HaShem, the one we refer to as the Name, because It
has no name, being beyond the realm of naming. Part of creation’s emergence was the need for
Adam to name everything. HaShemthen is beyond this realm being the source of
creation, the “One” that exists before creation. Now, this could alert us to
the fact that this portion is starting in the presence of the Divine, “<b>For HaShem
appeared to him</b>”, thus he must be in sacred space. We could say that he was
visited by the Divine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In the Hebrew, the first word is not HaShem,
but is </span><span dir="RTL" lang="HE" style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 16.0pt;">וירא</span><b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Vayirah</span></b><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">. It is also </span><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">the name of the chapter,
and can be rendered as “<b>It (HaShem) will
be seen</b>,” a form of looking that is the looking into the future, “<b>You will see</b>”, and hence “<b>appeared</b>”, because of the biblical
future tense being rendered as the past.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">I find this straddling, this con-fusion of the
past and the future fascinating. It generally occurs in reference to the Divine
though. It is as if She acts in the future, that is, exists as the future, as
pregnant with possibilities. The “past” is
what has been actualised, been made manifest. But HaShem remains the only
possible, potential, action.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In the Hebrew, HaShem is not the second word
either – it is the third. Thus it intimates that first there needs to be the
act of seeing, which requires also looking. In order for it to appear, he must
have been looking for it, and then found, i.e. seeing, it. And this requires
astillness, an ability to hear, to receive.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b> The Winter Works- Shamanic Journeys into the Cavern of the Heart.</b></div>
<br />

<br />
We will spend Saturday afternoons learning how to navigate your inner spaces on your own juice. The protocols and disciplines so that you don’t get lost or come back with weird stuff . Winter is the time of the Inner caverns<br />
<br />
• April<span class="text_exposed_show"> : Autumn – Learning Journey work. The Entering, Descent, and re-entering in 3D. Calling your guides, how to communicate and what to do with them.<br />
• May : Creating a coherent wave of Sacred Spaces. Healing and Creativity manifest best from altered states (The Journey).<br />
• June : Descending into the Dark Mother. Cave of Introspection. The West, place of Ritual Death and Dismemberment (no need to be scared )<br />
• July : The Inner Serpent –be in touch with your self empowerment and creativity. Masculine structure and Feminine spaces.<br />
• August : The Shaman Within – Stepping out of poverty and lack of havingness ( values, making connections and relationships ) – Placing your intentions (throwing your dream body) and tapping into your creativity, bringing forth our authentic webs. Future visions.<br />
<br />
Emerge into the richness of spring and light with new and revived paths.<br />
<br />
Comprises of 12 lessons - 3 till 5pm <br />
Part of the lesson time may be experiential and the other half journeying.<br />
Bring munchies, cushions and blanket to journey on. Bring your journals too.<br />
You need not attend every session but the more you do, the more your spaces can “set” and the more proficient you become. There is a LOT to this work.<br />
Donations of R100 per session or what you can offer.<br />
RSVP important please.<br />
Vanessa Henderson: eaglesnestsa@gmail.com<br />

We will also have BREATHWORK once a month. Please inquire further about this if you are keen.<br />
<br />
Many thanks and much love.<br />

Another depressing day, another dismal celebration. No wonder I suffer from melancholy. Then the Friday before, I took Soda Pop to the vet, and discovered that he was in such bad shape that I had to put him down... Can one officially mourn a dog? Is that acceptable? Or would that be making a mockery?</span><br />

In fact, I began to think about celebrating our lives, and our joy at still being alive, at having a maintained a continuous line of faith even though our temple had been destroyed centuries before. In fact, I could even make a case for celebrating the destruction of the temple (I hear the word "heresy" echoing in the background). It is what released us from the tyranny of the temple and the cult of animal sacrifice. From it emerged a system that was far more resilient and stood us by the long trail of oppression and sacrifice that we had to walk all these years. It spurred us onto to a greatness and a resilience that has become well-known and envied by many.</span><br />

Happy to be able to still practise my faith. Proud of all the famous and amazing men and women who were my ancestors and helped lead us to this present place of wealth and abundance and awareness.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJjleDoDzSI1LWv5r4gVVG9fgjgHgjQlOePBcLZ-CiAWv0Ga8YhLHWe1tXHKu3kgCk8Vn6P4LIiC-wmGLYxmsnB-RNJuMlM0lFFwZ-6V7XDX0wB1DYklYXMtbR6BogXVYXkVj9X88pY4KU/s1600/July+contact+042s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJjleDoDzSI1LWv5r4gVVG9fgjgHgjQlOePBcLZ-CiAWv0Ga8YhLHWe1tXHKu3kgCk8Vn6P4LIiC-wmGLYxmsnB-RNJuMlM0lFFwZ-6V7XDX0wB1DYklYXMtbR6BogXVYXkVj9X88pY4KU/s320/July+contact+042s.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Contact is a form of dance in which we use our bodies to communicate with one another. It revolves around the dialogue regarding the alignment of our centers, about offering to support another's and for the other to trust you enough to place him or herself onto your center.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmu6u13uv62i-csMUIeg0pZkuG_BUgFNQ7dufNXBClatSlH4w1TKnG-nwUuSuQYVgHzB5uOabwjkYNHpxr96u9CvspA8IdYgh2QUXRwV89kFC2cFn6_mxsXTaWEqKQsuUZbJYRLkz0d2K/s1600/July+contact+030s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="306" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbmu6u13uv62i-csMUIeg0pZkuG_BUgFNQ7dufNXBClatSlH4w1TKnG-nwUuSuQYVgHzB5uOabwjkYNHpxr96u9CvspA8IdYgh2QUXRwV89kFC2cFn6_mxsXTaWEqKQsuUZbJYRLkz0d2K/s320/July+contact+030s.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Interactions that take place in this dance are metaphors for life. For instance, the need to listen. But in this form, as it is a dance, the need to listen is about listening with your body to the bodies around you. As I move through the space, and encounter others, a dialogue ensues about whether I wish to take your weight, about how I wish to do so, and for how long. Whether you move in towards me offering, or away, removing.<br />
<br />
Just as in Tango, the couple communicates via their centers, by keeping them aligned and in a certain relationship, and thus can move together. In contact, it consists of an interaction of taking and giving, of supporting and being supported.<br />

Resistance is the way to hurting yourself or someone else. Resistance causes pain. Use the energy coming at you to flow into the new configuration. Each movement being an amalgam of your desire and interaction with your environment. Both have necessary constraints which will affect the outcome.<br />
