This means that we make our vote when the Empire Strikes back - as to whether to join the borg, and be ASSIMILATED into a heartless machine cult - when we MAKE THE CHOICE whether to begin the scientific hygiene necessary to IGNITE OUR DNA WITH BLISS! (Electrically measureable - a real GRAIL path for charge). In practice he says this means: stop eating angry (no diversity) DNA / start eating LIVE FOOD! , run from the city and electrosmog to nature, and DO the yoga. The result of teaching bliss making and DNA igniting (Grail in blood) is the COHERENCE of your bodies electric charge field (KA) starts to become sustainable thru lucid dream AND death. In this way self-empowerment based on pure principle can replace the obvious travesty that is the current state of old religion on Earth (mostly a parasite for the disempowered who mistakenly choose miracle and personality worship out of a confused fear of their own creation mechanics). Winter says the holy GRAIL is in your heart when you choose the perfect fractal (and very attractive) perfect compression that is LOVE itself. AND he says - measuring that (EKG+EEG harmonics)- helps makes it teachable!

"According to the Hermeticists, after the death of the physical body the soul of an individual would attempt to ascend through the planetary spheres on its way back to its Maker. The spheres represented stages on this journey, rather like rungs on a ladder. As it passed through the domain of each planet it was required to give back to its "governor" the portion of astral stuff it had earlier received on the way down. Thus we read in the Hermetica:

At the dissolution of your material body, you first yield up the material body to be changed, and the visible form you bore is no longer seen. And your vital spirit [literally breath] you yield up to the atmosphere so that it no longer works in you; and the bodily senses go back to their own sources, becoming parts of the universe, and entering into fresh combinations to do other work. And thereupon the man mounts upward through the structure of the heavens. And to the first zone of heaven [Moon] he gives up the fore which works increase and decrease; to the second zone [Mercury], the machinations of evil cunning; to the third zone [Venus], the lust whereby men are deceived; to the fourth zone [Sun], dominating arrogance; to the fifth zone [Mars], unholy daring and rash audacity; to the sixth zone [Jupiter], evil strivings after wealth; to the seventh zone [Saturn], the falsehood which lies in wait to do harm. And thereupon, having been stripped of all that was wrought upon him by the structure of the heavens, he ascends to the eighth sphere, being now possessed of his own proper power. [Hermetica p.52-3].

This in outline is the Hermetic doctrine of the soul's journey after death but there is more. Having traversed the planetary spheres, before the ascending soul could get back to God, it had to pass through the sphere of the fixed stars, known today as the "Celestial Sphere". This represents the "Higher Heaven" and lies beyond the jurisdiction of our local solar system with its governors the sun, moon and planets. To get to this Higher Heaven, which could in any case only be approached if it had successfully passed through the spheres of the Lower, the soul had to find its way to a gate. According to the ancient cosmology there were two of these: one was in the northern hemisphere and the other was in the southern. These "stargates" were positioned at the points in the sky where the ecliptic, the pathway of the sun, crosses the Milky Way. Therefore one of these positions was in Sagittarius, above the sting of Scorpio, and the other was in Gemini, above the outstretched arm or "club" of Orion.

The knowledge of the existence of these "Gates of Heaven" seems to have passed into Christianity. Indeed according to the Bible St Peter was appointed "gate-keeper" of heaven by none other than Jesus himself [Matthew 16]. It is noteworthy that in statues and pictures Peter is generally shown as holding two keys. These are clearly intended to be the keys to the two different gates, The idea of heaven having two gates was known to Christians until very recently. The symbolism of the gates and their connection with astronomy seems only to have been lost after the 16th century when it was proven by Copernicus, Galileo and others that the earth goes round the sun and not vice versa. Thereafter the idea of heaven as a physical place above the spheres of the planets fell out of favor. Without its underpinning in an astronomical model, the idea of heaven having gates became an empty metaphor. St Peter himself was left holding keys to gates which were no longer thought to have any sort of real existence except as a psychological construct. Unfortunately, as we shall see in following articles, this has led to further obscuration of the real meaning behind certain Biblical texts dealing with prophecies for the end of the current age."

Gilbert wrote about the theory of stargates in The Mayan Prophecies [Published 1995] but he did not at that time realize just how important these "gates" are in understanding prophecies contained in the Bible. Whilst writing Magi he stumbled upon something else, which is that the "Ascension" of Jesus, which according to the Bible took place 40 days after the Resurrection, would have happened on the precise day that the sun was placed in the northern stargate position: that is to say over the upstretched right-hand of Orion. As this position in the sky was also indicated by the mysterious shaft at Arsameia in Commagene, a sanctuary with Magi connections, this seemed more than coincidental."

Christ has nothing to do with religion or belief. You do not need to believe in anything to be a Christian

The Romans killed Jesus of Nazareth because he was the heir to the throne of David, bearer of the blood of Moses and Osiris

The reason that blood is considered important in human affairs is that this state is so potent that something of it literally enters the blood of those who experience it, and is even passed down to future generations

Resurrection and the Tomb of Jesus

Whether or not Jesus rose from the dead is arguably the most important question in the history of western civilization. It is also irrelevant and based on a misunderstanding of the process of resurrection, and should not be important at all. He both died and remained dead, and was resurrected. After the resurrection, his body remained in the tomb and was undoubtedly taken away to be buried somewhere.

Perhaps the burial place has been found and perhaps not. Certainly, an interesting tomb has been found, as was shown in the recent TV film, the Lost Tomb of Jesus.

However, the fact that Jesus left a corpse behind does not mean that there was no resurrection. That this is even an issue only points to the fact that we do not understand the nature of resurrection.

This is because we have been lied to about it for millennia by men who have sought to use the wonderful good news that Christ brought to us, to their own greedy ends.

If you read the gospels with any care, you will see that the resurrected Jesus no longer functions like a physical body. He functions like something that appears to be physical, but has new powers to appear and disappear at will, and to move about without reference to the constraints of nature. This is because the man who was seen—and he certainly was seen, I think—was no longer a physical body.

The fact that we do not understand this, and that so many of us believe that his conquest of death had something to do with his physical remains is tragic.

Something terrible happened to the Christian religion, and to western society, in the second and third centuries after the resurrection. Specifically, the pagan gods were replaced with Jesus, who was made into an instrument of political power.

This is utterly at odds with his true message, which was that the kingdom of heaven is not the domain of gods and kings at all, but the rightful inheritance of everybody and anybody. It is also within us, it is part of us, it is integral to being human, and he is no different from any of us. So of course he died. We all die. But he also demonstrated, by continuing to appear after death, that the soul does retain consciousness, and a sufficiently powerful and attentive soul can affect the living and actually be seen by them and communicate with them even after the death of the physical body. Anybody can do it. It’s not a miracle, it is an ability natural to conscious beings, or should be.

To get power, evil men set Jesus on a god’s pedestal, and imbued him with special physical qualities quite unlike those of ordinary people. He was supposedly formed out of some sort of divine substance, different from ordinary people, higher, special and unattainable. He wasn’t even conceived via sexual union between man and woman. Not only that, this most sacred of all sacraments, sexual union between a loving couple, was called ugly and profane by these profoundly sinful men. For a human being to reject sex is to reject nature and thus also God. Certainly, it is to reject Christ.

The resurrection was a special and unique event, they told us, its purpose being to draw attention to the importance of the way of worship that Jesus supposedly proclaimed—and coincidentally, to confer power onto a priesthood that managed the salvation that he promised as a sort of process involving subservience to various secular and religious political institutions.

But it’s all a lie—one cunningly fashioned out of truth, but still a lie, and probably the most profoundly evil of all lies. This is because the whole message of Jesus—the Good News—is that each person is whole and complete and has only to look within himself to find the kingdom of God.

The lie is designed to disempower the very person—the ordinary human being—whose true power Jesus sought to unleash, on behalf of this whole species reaching a new and better level of being, of becoming more compassionate, more loving and more joyous by becoming more aware of ourselves and thus also understanding of one another.

Jesus was an ordinary man, conceived in the ordinary way. There was nothing special about him at all, except that he knew himself, and, by extension, everyone. He was not soul blind, and he knew how to live in such a way to gain the help and knowledge he needed to truly understand himself and others.

Resurrection is not mysterious and separate from ordinary life. It’s as much a part of nature as breathing. Because we are soul-blind, though, we do not see it. But it is—or ought to be—a natural outcome of lives lived by creatures like us. That it is so rare here, and the path to it concealed, is testament to the fact that this is a fallen world.

But what does that mean, then? What is a fallen world?

A fallen world is one in which the purpose of conscious life either was known and has been lost or rejected or, as in our case, both. In fact, the purpose of conscious life is to grow a coherent and defined soul, that carries consciousness into energy after the physical body dies.

How do we make our eyes to see, then, if we are blind? Jesus said it: give yourself to your nature: “consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin.” People think that this means that we should abandon our shelter and go out and live in the forest, but it does not mean to give up our humanity. Our fur was taken from us so that we would use our brains and make them grow into what they have become: a machinery for the creation of souls.

I say creation, because that’s what it is. The creation isn’t over, it’s ongoing. Every death is, potentially, an ultimately creative act. When most of us die, we have very little left of ourselves. We are not in any kind of balance and wander a bit, often not even knowing—and often not ever knowing—that we died, then ending up in another physical body again all willy-nilly, drawn by the magnetism of the physical, and just continuing on the wheel of life.

When recently the Tomb of Jesus was broadcast, I saw at once that the mausoleum pictured was that of a family with real knowledge. The reason is that the door to the tomb bears a symbolic inscription of a T-square over a circle that means “the measure of the world.” This was a common but secret medallion of royal families in Judea—that is to say, families who had brought the craft with them from Egypt. Jewish royalty was descended from Egyptian royalty. Moses was an Egyptian royal prince, and all who came of him were of the same blood, too.

Why is this significant? Because there is a way to be born other than willy-nilly. Some are born, like Jesus, as all of us were meant to be born, with intention, to parents who know in advance the task the child has come into the physical world to perform.

If you die in a state of real consciousness, what happens to you then will be your decision. If you come back, it will be with intention and, as soon as your brain is able to process the information, real knowledge of who you are, where you came from, and why you are here.

Going on and not re-entering the physical means joining one’s personal aim to what has been the aim of life from the beginning: to enter a greater consciousness, one that is founded in the life of the earth and is our contribution to the ecstasy of eternal being.

And yet we live in a world that is so turned in on itself that most of us either don’t believe that our souls exist, or, even if we say that we believe this, act as if we don’t. I have had the blessing to be fully conscious outside of my body, and I can bear at least my own small personal witness to the reality of the soul. It is not a dream and it cannot be explained away by the various forms of high-sounding poppycock that are generally used to dismiss it. Life is not mechanical. The soul is not fiction.

Our aim should be to bring intention into our lives, which is to say, to surrender ourselves just as do the flowers of the field.

But how can intention have anything to do with being given over to the whims of nature? Another man who, like Jesus, knew God was Meister Eckhart, and he expressed what it was to be as the lily in a slightly different way: “be as a clear glass through which God can shine.”

You don’t need to make a shelter for your soul, God will make it out of the winds that blow you through life. “Be as the lilies of the field” means to live life—to lie down and be crushed in the fury of the storm, but also to have joy in the sun of the day.

But, how, precisely, do we go about living like this? Does it mean to let life walk over us? When injustice comes, what is really meant by turning the other cheek? It means to accept the energy of the situation objectively as energy, without regard to the way it manifests. “Negative?” “Positive?” Not our business. Our business: accept the energy, trust grace and give our lives to God.

Life has been growing here on earth for hundreds of millions of years, and has many times evolved three-brained beings like us. We are the only ones, however, who have ended up with hands and resonating vocal chords capable of complex speech and thus communication. This means that we can respond to the challenges of nature rather than just accept them. Thus, our minds have grown. When a creature with hands is cold, he can pull down leaves to make a shelter, or cut open an animal and use the body for warmth. He can think about how to take that warmth with him, and make himself a coat. He can make a house, tools, all the rest of it, right up to the internet and beyond. And, if he can speak, above all, he can tell others.

And with the intelligence that has grown in the service of his needs, he can also begin to do what three-brained beings were meant to do, which is to live in inner harmony, to the point that we have the chance to see ourselves objectively, and therefore to affect what happens to our souls.

By three-brained, I mean that we have a reptilian or primitive brain that controls our nervous system and basic impulses, a mammalian, or mid-brain that mediates our emotional life, and a human or higher brain that reasons.

These three levels of the brain form the most energetic and evolutionary structure in the universe: a triad. The negative pole is the lowest level, because it can act only from impulse. The positive pole is the mid level, because it can mediate desires with compassion and love. The harmonizing level is the highest level, the human level, which can balance the needs of the other two and so create a greater, harmonious whole, a fourth level of being that is beyond death and immortal.

This is the energy of resurrection, the Osiris energy, the Jesus energy.

Osiris suffered fourteen cuts from his brother Set, as also Jesus traversed the fourteen stations of the cross during his passion. Normally, a life is expressed as a full octave of seven parts. The reason their lives are expressed as fourteen parts is that they were living two lives at once: the subjective life of their suffering and the objective life of their seeing. Thus the number of a life is seven, but the number of a resurrected life is fourteen.

Near the baptismal place now called the Osirion in Egypt there is an ancient philosophical machine we refer to as the Sphinx. This statue expresses the process of resurrection. It has the strength of a bull, the courage of a lion and the intelligence of a man and can therefore soar aloft like an eagle.

To rise above life is to rise into the second level of being as Osiris and Jesus did. This means that we not only live our lives, but see ourselves living them, and see all around us from above—that is to say, from outside of time.

The need to do this is where the admonitions to turn the other cheek and love the enemy come from. Unless we include our enemy in our love, we cannot be objective about him, and if we do not see his truth, we also do not see our own truth, and in this way hatred clips our wings. The energy uses us instead of us using the energy.

All meditation is, in essence, about finding a way of processing energy in such a way that it feeds objective understanding and leads us down the path to inner truth.

As a species, we have been moving for thousands of years in the direction of this state. The reason that blood is considered important in human affairs is that this state is so potent that something of it literally enters the blood of those who experience it, and is even passed down to future generations. The ability to be objective and taste of resurrection is profoundly of the body at every level, including the physical. Who reaches this state gives the ability to reach it to their children. This is the origin of the symbolic eating of the body and drinking of the blood of Christ, to partake of this state. However, actual eating and drinking mean nothing. What Jesus was saying was that his bloodline was important, that his body was to be spread throughout the world after his death.

How, though? Well, he must have had children or he wouldn’t have bothered to say it. Of course, it’s all stuff and nonsense that one man, believed to be directly descended from Jesus, would have better blood than the next. In point of fact, the blood of everybody who lived at the time of Jesus—him included, through his children—now runs, effectively, in the veins of everybody in Europe and the Middle East and probably everybody in the world, and those who do not bear the blood of Christ within them bear the blood of another such person. So not only was Christ resurrected in his own life, his resurrection is in us, too.

THIS IS WHAT THE DARK SIDE DOES NOT WANT US TO REALIZE.

It’s why we are fed the lie that Christ died “for our sins” when, in truth, he lived for our souls.

Christ did not die at all, and he showed his living presence to prove it, even though his body expired and rotted away. And because we are the body and blood of Christ, he is alive in all of us right now.

This objective material I am speaking of does not die, it passes into a woman’s eggs and a man’s semen, and gives the next generation a greater ability to experience more objective being and be more harmonious.

This is why the wives were so important to these special men, inundated as they were with this richly energetic material, and also why their children were so very hidden. No objective person wants his bloodline recognized, because this will mean that his children will be exalted in this life, which is a curse. The palace is too far for comfort from the lilies of the field. It is difficult to remember who you truly are when you are surrounded by the glitter of the material world.

We apes have a love of glitter. The chimpanzee is fascinated by the twinkling bauble in your hand, and we’re no different. You couldn’t sell many new cars if they didn’t shine. The reason for this goes way back: this adaptation made it easier for our forebears to see the skin of fruit hidden among the leaves when we lived in the forest. All of these things we place around our bodies and say of them, “this is mine,” are just so much shine. The whole world of possessions is nothing more important than an old, now useless adaptation from when we had different needs. Unfortunately, because of it, we are eating the planet. But “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.”

This is why, when you put aside your material self and re-enter this world as a naked soul, everything turns upside down. The rich countries appear poverty stricken—vast, dark plains marked only here and there by an occasional spark. But go to the poor countries, and there you find fountains of light spewing up into the heavens. “But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.” This is what it means. “And the meek shall inherit the earth.” This is what it means.

But to live in the peace and comfort of the first world also means that there is an extraordinary chance to turn toward Christ, because we have the education needed to contemplate wisely, and the leisure to do so. So in those few little sparks in the prosperous lands, when you go close to them, you find the treasures of the ages.

The Romans killed Jesus of Nazareth because he was the heir to the throne of David, bearer of the blood of Moses and Osiris. In Judea at the time of Jesus there were only about three thousand Romans, and not all of them were soldiers. It was an unstable situation, and they were aware of the fact that a determined uprising could easily overpower them. They relied on their ally Herod and his family and their Greek and Jewish soldiers to keep the peace. But Herod and his family were not Jews, and certainly very far from the exalted house of David. When Jesus began to make a name for himself as a preacher, the Romans eventually captured and crucified him in order to demonstrate their power and effect his utter humiliation. The fact that he was not preaching about an earthly kingdom was entirely lost on those primitive men. Here was the heir to the throne of David talking about some sort of kingdom. That was quite enough to get him killed.

However, the fact that he was a victim of political murder was coincidental to his ministry.

No doubt Jews loyal to Herod supported the murder, and thus are also to some extent responsible. However, in the gospels the real situation was reversed so that the Romans to whom they were meant to appeal would not take offense at them. The mild and tolerant Roman governor washes his hands of the affair in the gospels. In reality, the Romans would have sent their agents to find this dangerous man, and would have themselves caused the ironic title to be nailed on his cross: king of the Jews.

The murder of Jesus broke the House of David, and also made the eventual Jewish rebellion inevitable. James and Jesus’ other brothers followed a much more traditional Jewish ministry, saying nothing of any kingdoms. His wife clarified his message as a moral and philosophical one, not a political one, and was the person who led the apostles in spreading it to the world...and, more importantly, hiding the children and giving them the chance to grow up and have children of their own. She took the blood with her, and nurtured it, and gave it to us. We drink of it because of her. We are Christ because of her.

The time when her role was erased and the equal place of women usurped in the church was the same time that the lies that the body of Jesus was special and the resurrection unique to him were spread. The effect of this was to derange the Christian household by making one of its pillars shorter than the other. The household where objective seeing is to be gained—where the measure of the world is to be taken—must be founded on two equal pillars. Otherwise, it is a crooked house and will come down.

“Two are better than one, and a cord of three strands is not quickly snapped.” What this means is that harmony between the two is reconciled in the third. The third strand is love, itself a triad with three levels, physical, emotional and rational. This love eventually results in children, and in this sense it is the building block of the species. So any society in which either sex is considered in any way unequal is itself an unbalanced triad and doomed to failure. Throughout human history, one sex or the other has always dominated, in virtually every culture. The ones where this was least true have lasted the longest, and brought the most happiness to their members.

Christ has nothing to do with religion or belief. You do not need to believe in anything to be a Christian, and it was never intended that the way be imposed on anybody, or that the Good News be turned into bad news for nonbelievers. Nor, as I said before, is the idea that Jesus died for our sins true in any way at all. He died because he was the true heir to the Jewish throne. It had nothing to do with any sins anybody subsequently may or may not have committed, and nobody is born with sin already on their souls.

The whole point of recurrence is that the slate is wiped clean so that another effort may be made. If a soul’s situation becomes impossible, its memory of itself fades entirely and it is lost to consciousness. That’s the real wage of sin, and the only one. It is always a choice made in life, and for that to happen is extremely rare. The truth is that human beings are mostly innocent and mostly good. We lash out because we are frightened or we are desperate, or have been harmed in some way by a bad childhood.

That which seeks our ruin causes us to concentrate on darkness and evil, and tells us that we are powerless and that our souls are ugly. The human mind has been alive in the earth for just a few thousand years. Osiris, Christ, Krishna, Buddha, Mahomet—all of these bearers have just left their blood and wisdom in us in the past few millions of a second, in the great time of the earth.

And yet, so important is that second that everything that has come before, all the billions of years that earth has been here, are one day. We are the next day.

Here is Gurdjieff talking about this as related by Ouspensky in In Search of the Miraculous.  Gurdjieff wrote:
One must begin with the causes that are in man himself. How can he be independent of the external influences of great cosmic forces when he is the slave of everything that surrounds him? He is controlled by everything around him. If he becomes free from things, he may then become free from planetary influences.
   
And, at the same time, humanity as a whole can never escape from nature, for, even in struggling against nature man acts in conformity with her purposes. The evolution of large masses of humanity is opposed to nature's purposes. The evolution of a certain small percentage may be in accord with nature's purposes. Man contains within him the possibility of evolution. But the evolution of humanity as a whole, that is, the development of these possibilities in all men, or in most of them, or even in a large number of them, is not necessary for the purposes of the earth or of the planetary world in general, and it might, in fact, be injurious or fatal. There exist, therefore, special forces (of a planetary character) which oppose the evolution of large masses of humanity and keep it at the level it ought, to be.

"For instance, the evolution of humanity beyond a certain point, or, to speak more correctly, above a certain percentage, would be fatal for the moon. The moon at present feeds on organic life, on humanity. Humanity is a part of organic life; this means that humanity is food for the moon. If all men were to become too intelligent they would not want to be eaten by the moon.

"But, at the same time, possibilities of evolution exist, and they may be developed in separate individuals with the help of appropriate knowledge and methods. Such development can take place only in the interests of the man himself against, so to speak, the interests and forces of the planetary world. The man must understand this: his evolution is necessary only to himself. No one else is interested in it. And no one is obliged or intends to help him. On the contrary, the forces which oppose the evolution of large masses of humanity also oppose the evolution of individual men. A man must outwit them. And one man can outwit them, humanity cannot. You will understand later on that all these obstacles are very useful to a man; if they did not exist they would have to be created intentionally, because it is by overcoming obstacles that man develops those qualities he needs.

"This is the basis of the correct view of human evolution. There is no compulsory, mechanical evolution. Evolution is the result of conscious struggle. Nature does not need this evolution; it does not want it and struggles against it. Evolution can be necessary only to man himself when he realizes his position, realizes the possibility of changing this position, realizes that he has powers that he does not use, riches that he does not see. And, in the sense of gaining possession of these powers and riches, evolution is possible. But if all men, or most of them, realized this and desired to obtain what belongs to them by right of birth, evolution would again become impossible. What is possible for individual man is impossible for the masses.

"The advantage of the separate individual is that he is very small and that, in the economy of nature, it makes no difference whether there is one mechanical man more or less. We can easily understand this correlation of magnitudes if we imagine the correlation between a microscopic cell and our own body. The presence or absence of one cell will change nothing in the life of the body. We cannot be conscious of it, and it can have no influence on the life and functions of the organism. In exactly the same way a separate individual is too small to influence the life of the cosmic organism to which he stands in the same relation (with regard to size) as a cell stands to our own organism. And this is precisely what makes his 'evolution' possible; on this are based his 'possibilities.'

"In speaking of evolution it is necessary to understand from the outset that no mechanical evolution is possible. The evolution of man is the evolution of his consciousness. And 'consciousness' cannot evolve unconsciously. The evolution of man is the evolution of his will, and 'will' cannot evolve involuntarily. The evolution, of man is the evolution of his power of doing, and 'doing' cannot be the result of things which 'happen.'

"People do not know what man is. They have to do with a very complex machine, far more complex than a railway engine, a motorcar, or an aeroplane-but they know nothing, or almost nothing, about the construction, working, or possibilities of this machine; they do not even understand its simplest functions, because they do not know the purpose of these functions. They vaguely imagine that a man should learn to control his machine, just as he has to learn to control a railway engine, a motorcar, or an aeroplane, and that incompetent handling of the human machine is just as dangerous as incompetent handling of any other complex machine. Everybody understands this in relation to an aeroplane, a motorcar, or a railway engine. But it is very rarely that anyone takes this into account in relation to man in general or to himself in particular. It is considered right and legitimate to think that nature has given men the necessary knowledge of their machine. And yet men understand that an instinctive knowledge of the machine is by no means enough. Why do they study medicine and make use of its services? Because, of course, they realize they do not know their machine. But they do not suspect that it can be known much better than science knows it; they do not suspect that then it would be possible to get quite different work out of it."

THE ROLE OF THE HIGH PRIESTESS ARCHETYPE

Each Being that comes through a channel has a particular role to play in humanity's spiritual development.  Some...closely likened to that of the High Priestess archetype. Indeed a great number of individuals of the/a group-soul, (channeling here).... have repeatedly served as Priest/esses throughout the world's ancient and modern spiritual traditions. The High Priestess archetype is a gatekeeper, spokeswoman, and guide to both one's earthly and spiritual journeys. She works tirelessly in service to Spirit and those that seek to know Spirit. She is the vessel of our intuition, opening the gateway to the antediluvian knowledge stored within the subconscious, and imparts the arcane wisdom of how to call-forth and invoke those hidden powers for oneself. In the temple she sits between two pillars of Light and Dark, symbolizing the importance of balance in all things.

In Cabbala teachings, the High Priestess is associated with the number 3 path on the Tree of Life, also called the Gimel path. In the Jewish Cabbala the number 3 carry a great amount of weight, being associated with the three-lettered name of God. The number 3 is also crucial to the forces of creation and manifestation, bringing them into equilibrium and facilitating the form and stability necessary for its existence. She embodies triplicities, and is therefore associated with the Triple Goddess, and the idea of the Feminine Divine holding the powers of Creation, Preservation, and also Destruction (to prevent stagnation, and be a transformative catalyst for rebirth and re-creation). Again, her place in the Tree of Life suggests the overarching importance of the lesson of balance, which is the key to all great attainments.

The lessons of the High Priestess are the central themes...on the paramount key: Balance....topics crucial to aspects of spiritual evolution.

Applying critical thought and basic logic to such teachings is vital. Common sense (and Newton) tells us that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction", or more esoterically we have the spiritual law "as above, so below". The reality is that more Light that one invokes, the darker the shadows that lurk just beneath the surface. If one is not given the tools to recognize, acknowledge, heal, and finally integrate these psychic shadows, they can easily become overwhelmed by these dark reflections over time. The longer the shadows remain ignored, either consciously or subconsciously, the more power they have - and any oppressed being will eventually rise up against their captor. Such shadowy "backdrafts" are the cause of much psychic burnout, and troubling fears that shake the faithful leaving them full of doubt and discontentment.

These shadows can certainly seem frightening, but they are really just parts of our own psyche that we have tried to deny for various reasons. The programming of society and other authority figures is one large culprit for the creation of shadows, and they are also the common result of traumatic &/or abusive experiences. They are the parts of ourself that contain our shattered hopes, our fears, our insecurities, our dissapointments, and our feelings of shame. In order to achieve true spiritual balance we must learn to be willing to recognize that we all have shadows, and that by acknowledging their existence we can begin to heal the deepest parts of ourselves. The shadows that hounded us throughout our lives can become some of our greatest sources of power.

Knowledge of the true nature of the dichotomy of Light and Dark has been twisted by centuries of power-seeking individuals. Evolution of humanity has also made great use of linear thought, which has limited the extent to which our innate spiritual perception has been allowed to flourish. The truth of the matter is that Light and Dark are both natural and necessary parts of Creation. Seeing the polarity as linear, in terms of positive (good) and negative (bad) is an incorrect perception. Viewing things as cyclical, or as a spiral is more accurate. All aspects of creation are beholden to all other aspects for their manifestation. All elements have their place in the Universe and everything contains attributes (in greater and lesser portions) of everything else. It is this very multiplicity that makes Creation such a marvel, and reveals the intimate interconnectivity of all things.  YIN/YANG

....people's attention to the shadows of their psyche, and aiding them in the process of healing the fabricated rift between Light and Dark, thereby integrating the shadows into ones self and creating a more complete and powerful whole. It is one of the most important steps that one can take on their spiritual journey. Today we live in the Kali Yuga, which is the final stage before a radical spiritual shift takes hold and begins the dawning of a new era of enlightenment. However there is a great amount of darkness, as we can well see by the escalating violence, worldwide hunger and poverty, and political unrest. Cultivating Light in this atmosphere is extremely important, but denying the darkness is folly.

Today's spiritual seekers must learn to intelligently integrate all the energies that surround them, creating a new syncretic belief-matrix that does not lend itself to any one extreme. This is the challenge of the Kali Yuga, and this is the process that will usher in the Age the Aquarius which is already strongly influencing the spiritual tides on Gaia. Becoming aware of one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as personal biases will enable the individual to reach far beyond the societally-programmed and self-imposed limits to expand their spiritual horizons and awareness and touch the Divine Presence!

As the Oracle of Delphi taught long ago: Gnothi se autom. Know Thyself.

3 = Three: The spiritual meaning of number Three deals with magic, intuition, fecundity, and advantage. The number Three invokes expression, versatility, and pure joy of creativity. Three is also a time identifier as it represents Past, Present and future. Consecutive Three's in your life may symbolize the need to express yourself creatively, or consider your present directional path in relation to your past events and future goals. Three's may also represent promising new ventures, assurance of cooperation from others you may require help from, and Threes typically symbolize reward and success in most undertakings.

The symbol of the triad or trinity has existed over immeasurable time and throughout the world. It can be understood as a key to the integrity and interdependence of all existence.

The triad is a defining characteristic of Celtic religion and mythology, and not all female triads in the Irish tradition, at least, are as clear symbols of the Mother Goddess. Oak, ash, and thorn were called the faery triad of trees by the Celts. Where they grow together, it is still said that faeries live.

From the Druid or Celtic Shamanistic viewpoint the number three represents the different views one might develop following an initiation ceremony. Celtic Shamans believed that they could see the present, past and future - their vision of the world was complete and trustworthy. The Shaman often saw himself as a man standing in three different worlds at the same time. In this way, his judgments, decisions and advice became infallible and was closed to interpretation.

Just as night and day need twilight or dawn to go between it, the Celtic Shaman is the necessary third being between what is seen and unseen. He is neither this nor that. This widespread interest of the number three remains in our thinking today. Many modern concepts in philosophy, mathematics, physics, etc., are still very much based in the idea of "the three."

Three, therefore, stands for that which is solid, real, substantial, complete, and entire.

All things that are specially complete are stamped with this number three.

The Lineage of Light from which we are seeded may be traced back to our Star Ancestors or ‘Akhus’ as the Egyptians knew them.  It was during the Zep Tepi (‘First Times’) long before the birth of modern civilization, that the Legacy of Our Sacred Mission as Lightkeepers  began.  In the cradle of Egypt, the Akhus from Sirius first initiated the Ascension Program on Earth for the quickening and purification of the human genetic code.  The Egyptian ‘Gods’ known as Isis and Osiris (depicted on the left and right obelisks) were Akhus who began a heritage of Priestesses and Priests whose holy bloodline descends all the way through present times, and among other historical figures includes Mary Magdalene and Jeshua (Christ).  The Purpose and fulfillment of these beings, which very likely includes you, is to restore the Light of Consciousness and the Divine Plan of Earth Ascending.  This memory runs within your bloodline and genetic code and is tied in with your  ‘Original Divine Blueprint.’
     The Sphinx and Pyramids of Giza, which anthropologists now date back to at least 13,000 years ago (and up to 52,000 years), were initially created by the Akhus as a Stargate  in precise time-space alignment with Sirius, Orion, the Pleiades and the constellation of Leo (whose stellar Leonine connection is further signified by the Lion-body of the Sphinx).  The pyramids of Giza have long been proven to be in the exact same configuration as the three stars of Orion’s belt (which the ancient Egyptians identified with Osiris).  During equinox and other significant astrological cyclic points, the light of these stars shines through specific shafts and openings in the Great Pyramid and activates the energy of this stargate vortex site.  The Pyramid’s precise architecture holds all the geometries and dimensions of the Earth (circumference, weight, etc).  As the Egyptian Priest/God Thoth said to one of his disciples in the ‘Hermetic Texts’ about this sacred site: “All the operations of the powers which rule and work in heaven have been transferred down to Earth below.”  The purpose to which these powers were harnessed was to facilitate the initiate’s quest for immortality or mastery over the domain of consciousness.  The Great Pyramid was used as an Ascension Chamber for many initiates (including  Jeshua the Christ) and is also a transducer for Cosmic energies into the Planetary Field.  Not only is this stargate calibrated to these spatial coordinates, but it is also attuned to the Precession of the Equinox of the zodiacal signs and the 26,000 year cycle of Earth’s revolution around the Pleiades star system.   Beneath the Sphinx are many multi-dimensional chambers of Initiation and the Akashic Records Library, which holds the memories and codes of all Earth existence and our entire Universe.
     Priest and Priestess unite and walk into the Stargate together.  Isis and her sister Nepthys in their winged form create the gate and act as Protectors allowing only the Pure to enter the Sacred Dimensions.  As the Divine Couple have fulfilled their Earthly Mission, they undress from their Priestly Robes and enter naked once more back into the Duat (translated as ‘Kingdom of Osiris’ or “Dwelling Place of Orion and Sirius’) (the Heavenly Realms).  The three aspects of the Divine Masculine and Feminine are represented in this painting:  the human-embodied aspect, the Christed aspect (represented by Isis and Osiris on the obelisks) and the God/Goddess aspect represented by the Sphinx and the Winged Goddess.  The Sphinx (whose face was a representation of the God “Atum”) is the Solar Principle and Unity Consciousness.  The two faces of the Goddess on either side of the Sphinx face represent the Lunar principle, as well as the Dual or Creative Consciousness.  Ultimately, the humans consecrate their Sacred Marriage and realize they are divine embodiments of the God/Goddess.
