See with your heart – Believe with your mind July 16, 2014

I have had many discussions with family and friends about my writing being so “coded” and hard to understand. Their argument is why make it so hard for everyone to understand the message? My point has always been and will always be this “The message which is perceived by the individual is meant to be unlocked by their intent through intellect and intention.

“See with your heart – Believe with your mind”.

I believe this is how magick is created and understood. When we come to a real epiphany we change our outlook and this change cannot be handed to us, it must be sought out and discovered. This process is painful and joyous, how can this be? Paradigm walls which take a lifetime to build can come crashing down, how honest are you willing to be with yourself? The Alchemist asks this question as he seeks to transform iron into gold.

I would like to share something I read recently…

“He looked to the heavens and saw the crescent. Oh how beautiful and majestic, Oh what a sight!

Let us go to a conversation once had, with a warrior named Thor, the valiant and true. The protector of mankind and the holder of thunder which speaks truth from the sky.

He resides in one of the nine, Aesir to be exact, where he judges from the TREE.

In testing Alviss “All-Wise” he asked the question, a most poignant question it was indeed

And thus the answer came…

It is called the “moon” by mankind, “fiery one” by the gods, “the whirling wheel” in Hel, “the hastener” by the jötnar, “the shiner” by the dwarves, and “the counter of years” by the elves (Alvíssmál, Stanza 13)

But you see this conversation did not end well for dear Alviss for he was blinded by the light. The deceiver of Dvalin ended the wise.

The fiery one glows above thy head forming the most perfect star.

Magic dust of perfect ratio, some may say, enable’s one to fly. So take what is within, and hold your mighty weapon. Thor was given a Hammer, belt, and iron gloves, made by the Gods.

With your device you may wield the winds, fire, earth and water.

The true Ragnarök has come.

Oh divine, I embrace you now.”

The word Ragnarök as a whole is usually interpreted as the “final destiny of the gods” Simek 2007, p. 259

The dragon depicts the wind(wings), fire(ability to breath fire), earth(claws to dig into the earth and climb mountains) and water(scales to swim) – with this you gain the 5^th element which the mystics taught in the mystery schools – ETHER OR AETHER  a “medium that in the wave theory of light permeates all space and transmits transverse waves” A profound thought permeates the restricted material and penetrates in the form of inspiration, the vibration of speech or music are waves bringing form, is it light?

“The scientists that place doubt in the existence of Ether have no scientific basis for their theories. Indeed, they just play with words, with terms, because instead of the term Ether they use the term “radioactivity” or a “magnetic field,” etc. So, these other terms neither take away from nor give to the reality of Ether. In any case, their doubts, analysis, and change of terms will only serve them to study that which is called Ether. Most of the time, people fight only for the question of terms of words, etc., etc. Yet, in the final analysis, what counts are the facts, and the facts are facts. Russian astronomers have discovered, with their powerful telescopes, worlds in a protoplasmic state. These protoplasmic worlds have come out from within the Ether. We can accept, by simple logical induction, that Ethereal worlds exist. Maybe some scientists will not be pleased with the term “Ethereal.” However, the term is of the least importance. The importance is the fact. Every world, before becoming protoplasmic, exists in an Ethereal state. The great Hindustani scientist Rama Prasad stated: “Everything comes out from within the Ether. Everything returns into the Ether.” If protoplasm emerges from within the Ether, then we have to accept that the Ether is in the vital depth of everything that exists.” – Samael Aun Weor

“Know all things to be like this:

A mirage, a cloud castle, A dream, an apparition,

Without essence, but with qualities that can be seen.

Know all things to be like this:

As the moon in a bright sky In some clear lake reflected,

Though to that lake the moon has never moved.

Know all things to be like this:

As an echo that derives From music, sounds, and weeping,

Yet in that echo is no melody.

Know all things to be like this:

As a magician makes illusions Of horses, oxen, carts and other things,

Nothing is as it appears.”

-Samadhi Raja Sutra

Seek to understand and live to love.

Where is your focus?

You are whatever you say you are.

Compassionately,

J.R.
