Sun Gazing (Page 7 of 8)

My advice to you, whoever you may be, Oh you who desire to explore the Mysteries of Nature; if you do not discover within yourself that which you seek, neither will you find it without. If you ignore the excellence of your own house, how can you aspire to find excellence elsewhere?

Within you is hidden the treasure of treasures. 

Oh Man!  Know thyself, and you will know the universe and the Gods.

~The Oracle of Delphi~

Geometry and Number are the building blocks of the universe, the fundamental language of Nature.  It is by these symbols that we are able to recognize the particular nature of a thing.

In this page I will discuss the significance of the  Hexagram and the Pentagram, their relationship to each other and the numbers assigned to them by Nature.

The early Babylonian division of the annual Solar cycle by the six celestial animals is not an isolated example of the Sun's association with the number six, many other cultures of the world also describe the Sun as being six-natured.  The Kabbalist's magical 'Kamea of Gold' or 'Square of the Sun' had six rows and six columns.  The Hebrews used the Hexagram as a symbol of God and a seal of protection and is frequently referred to as “Solomon’s Shield”, or “Solomon’s Seal”.

The geometry of the pentagram follows the natural law of the function of growth otherwise known as the 'Golden Section' or the 'Golden Proportion'. Each time one of the five lines that form the pentagram crosses another it dissects that line at the Golden Proportion of 1 : 1.618.  Often referred to by the Greek letter Phi, it is considered the most beautiful proportion and Art and Music use it regularly.  The most pleasing harmony created by two notes is the interval known as the 'Perfect Fifth', caused by a division of the octave by Phi.  A 'Golden' division of a persons height locates their navel, the original source of Life around which our bodies grow.  Since ancient times Five has been considered the most appropriate number to describe the nature of Man, His senses, appendages and fingers on each hand all number five. Kabbalistic drawings that depict Man in the Pentagram reveal his nature as a living being.  The Chinese character for Man is likewise a five pointed star.  The Pentagram is the perfect symbol of Life.

72: Like the Pentagram, the number 72 also describes the nature of Man.  His five appendages divide an enclosing circle into five lots of 72 degrees.

Man is the Son of the Sun.  This claim was made by the ancient Egyptian Pharaohs from the very early times by the words 'Son of Ra', a title that accompanied their names whenever written.

All life abides to the natural law of the Golden Section, for it is the function of growth.  The pentagonal geometry of the human body elegantly describes this life-giving function.

The Solar 366 Hexagram Gives Life to the Organic 72 Pentagram.

The four humors are an Alchemical understanding of the elemental make up of Man and a similar conception can be found in the ancient Egyptian Four Sons of Horus.

Both the Ancient Egyptian 'Four Sons of Horus' and the Western Alchemical concept of the 'Four Humors' could be likened to the Taoist 'Four Pakuas' which are formed around the center of the body at the height of the navel.  The 'Four Pakuas' are developed through meditation to collect and store the emotional energies of the organs so that they can be refined and fused into a ball of energy perceived as a radiant pearl.  And just like in the Egyptian system, human children and animals are used to symbolically describe the energies of the individual organs.  Once these energies are combined to form the radiant pearl, it is then circulated around the body in the 'Microcosmic Orbit' to strengthen the body and to develop and nourish the energy body or soul body.

The god Horus is very closely related to Ra and is sometimes referred to as a younger form of Ra.  He was identified specifically with the appearance of the sun, as was the scarab god Khepra, who's name literally means 'coming into existence'.  The rising sun was a common Egyptian metaphor for the soul's rebirth and the incentive behind the name of the collection of ancient texts commonly known as the 'Book of the Dead' to which the Egyptians gave the name 'The Chapters of Going Forth by Day'.

    When I started sungazing as an everyday discipline I notice something weird about bees and sungazing. Not only were they flying around but they suspend themselves at the height of my forehead and try to land there or in between my eyebrows. It happened so often that I was consciously avoiding places where I knew bees where around. It still happens with bees from time to time, but what really amazed me happened when hummingbirds started doing the same in a way that made me think they where seeing some kind of flower. They never go for the eyes but directly to the forehead and when that happens I stay still and let them approach. Most of them just suspend themselves in front of my face with curiosity, and only two had enough courage to touch my forehead and fly away as fast as they could. It felt like the tiniest of the kisses.

I know somebody who actually met this guy. Apparently he's the real deal.  *shrug* my intuitive mind says to believe it, but my scientific mind is having quite the hard time.

As far as mana or prana goes, I have physically seen this for years.  They are like little translucent squigglies that pop around in the sky.  There are definitely more of them around when the sun is out.  I once read that this was the first stages of 'etheric vision'.
