<p>Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac, is a feminine introverted sign. It is an earth sign and one of the four cardinal signs and is ruled by the planet Saturn. The guitarist Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin was renowned for his interest in occult matters in general and Crowleyana in particular, has never spoken publicly about the component elements of his own symbol, but it is believed to have originated in an old alchemical grimoire dating back to the sixteenth century. The Sigil itself points to the link between the planet Saturn and page’s Zodiac sign, Capricorn. The “Z” is a commonly used symbol for the planet, and the “oso” stands for the element mercury, also associated with Saturn.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b><u>The Elements and the signs of the Zodiac</u></b></p>
<p>Fire : Aries, Leo, Sagittarius</p>
<p>Water : Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces</p>
<p>Air : Gemini, Libra, Aquarius</p>
<p>Earth : Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Saturn</b></p>
<p>Saturn is the ruling planet of Capricorn and, before the discovery of Uranus, of Aquarius. Saturn was the Roman God of Agriculture and civilization. The planet Saturn takes 29.5 years to orbit the sun. Astrologically, Saturn is associated with limitations, restrictions, boundaries, practicality, reality and long-termed planning. Discipline and responsibility are central to Saturn. The return of Saturn, about every 30 years, is said to mark significant changes in each person’s life. Saturn reminds us of the limitations of time and the need to manage it well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The scythe blade mounted on a shaft was used to mow grass with. It was held by the Greek God Chronus or the Roman God Saturn, both gods of time (the word “chronology” stems from the Greek Khronos, meaning time) the scythe as an emblem of time cuts the thread of life and launches us one by one into eternity. Its most common symbolism is of death, the scythe is the tool used by the Grim Reaper as he reaps his harvest of souls. The scythe of these ancient Gods is not quite the doom-laden instrument as it appears in skeletal hands of the hooded Grim Reaper, it was more a reminder of the cycle of life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>The Magic Square of Saturn</b></p>
<p>Magic squares work by enclosing or trapping an entity or power, by surrounding it with a collection of numbers in a particular relationship. Some magic squares are made up of symbols of planets, metals or magic words. The numerals and numbers that make up the name of God are believed to be especially powerful. One Magic square is made up of the Latin sentence Sator arepo Tenet opera rotas, meaning “The sower at his plough controls the work”. In magical squares where the number on vertical and horizontal lines always adds up to the same number, the result is called a “constant”.</p>

<p>In alchemy, the Star of David is a reminder of the seven planets and the seven basic metals. At the top silver/the moon, then moving around the points of the star in a clockwise direction are Copper/Venus, Mercury/Mercury; Lead/Saturn; Jupiter/Tin and mars/ Iron/metal. The centre space is also called quintessence, and is the Sun/Gold. Sometimes the Seal will acknowledge this central space with a dot or the tau symbol.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The power of the bell as a way of spiritual communication is carried one step further in the magical bell made of an amalgam of the seven sacred metals that are ruled by the planets. This bell, engraved with the Tetragrammaton and the planetary seals from alchemy, allegedly has the power to summon the spirits of the dead. However, this spell calls for the bell to be put into a grave for seven days and seven nights before it will work properly.</p>

<p><b>Earth</b></p>
<p>One of the four elemental beings, the Gnome is the spirit of the Earth, and is a counterpart of the undine (water), the salamander (fire) and the sylph (air) Gnomes are believed to live in the bowls of the earth and to have an instinctive understanding of the rocks, stones, precious gems and minerals secreted there, able to produce fantastically elaborate silverwork, for example, which has magical powers. In the Circle of wisdom of the Kalachakra certain syllables are given colours and elements, La (yellow) the grounding earth element.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The platonic solids were named after the Greek philosopher and mathematician Plato. They are said to encompass the classic 4 elements of earth, air, fire, water, together with the elusive 5<sup>th</sup> element – had been discovered at least a thousand years before his time. Earth is the twelve-edged cube or hexagon, a symbol for solidity of the earth as a planet as well as a concept. Fire is the six-edged tetrahedron, its pyramid shape appropriately flame-like. Air is the twelve-edged octahedron. Water is the thirty-edged isochedron.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Perhaps the archetypal image of the earth is as the Mother Earth, personified as the Goddess Gaia. The Ancient Greek historian Herodotus pointed out that all known names for the earth are female. A few examples od this include Shekinah, in the Kabbalistic tradition, becomes Shakti, the female “cosmic energy” of the Hindu philosophies, as well as Kali Ma, “the dark mother”. Erda, belongs to the Nordic myths; and Gaia, Tera, Europa and many others. If Earth is the Mother, then the Heavens are the Father, reminding us again of the tenet “as above, so below.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A recurrent theme in creation myths is of a mound of earth rising up from the primordial waters. The Earth symbolizes a womb, pregnant with water, minerals and seeds of plant life. As life springs forth from the earth it also returns back to the Earth when material part comes to the end of its life, becoming part of the cycle of death and rebirth as the rotting matter provides sustenance for the next generation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The most fitting symbolic form within the landscape of the great Earth Mother is the cave. Whereas mountains reach towards the sky and belong to the elements of air and fire, the cave itself signifies the womb, the magical place of gestation. It parallels the Athanor in alchemy, where spirit takes form, is transformed into matter and eventually makes its exit into a new world through the vaginal opening or vesica Pisces, symbolized by the cave mouth. In the tales of the Arabian nights, Ali Baba unlocks the concealed door of the cave by shouting “open sesame/1” the relevance of the command is because the sesame seed pod that burst open symbolizes all the wealth of the earth, as well as having a sexual meaning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Caves and caverns are the natural places for the energy of the Earth to be harnessed. As such they were, and are powerful places for magical and religious rites and ceremonies. The “Hellfire caves” at High Wycombe, England, the ancestral seat of the Dashwood family, are a good example of subterranean locus for occult practices. Caves can be a place of refuge, but can also become a prison. Whereas mountains are highly visible, caves are the direct opposite, secret, hard to find. Despite these opposing qualities, caves and mountains have a natural symbiosis, because they can exist together in the same location, cave complexes are often found inside mountains.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Caves share a further quality with mountain that of being at the centre of the earth, as symbolized by the Omphalos. Gods resided on the loftiest summits of the mountains. Gods were also often born inside caves; Zues, for example, was born in a cave on Mount Ida in Crete. When this particular cave was excavated it was full of offerings and tributes to its God. Lao Tzu, the father of Taoist philosophy, was born in a cave, as was the pre-Christian Sun God, Mithras. Mithraic worship often took place under ground in the secrecy of caves and caverns. The stable in which Mithras’ successor, Jesus, was born was actually cur out from a rock face, yet another example of a God figure being born in a cave. American Indians believe that caves were the gestation places for the embryos of mankind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Caves are among early man’s first sacred places, and such caves appear all over the world, in myth and legend as well as in reality. Aladdin’s cave, for example, contained the magic lamp that yielded the Djinn that changed Aladdin’s fortunes, and so in a symbol of the cave as a repository of valuable secrets. The cave at Lascaux in the Perigord region of France also holds valuable secrets and rich treasures of a different kind. Dating back to the Palaeolithic era, the paintings inside these caves show man’s preoccupations at this time. The walls are covered with pictures of horses, cattle, and an extinct animal called the Auroch, felines, birds and fish. The four school boys who accidentally discovered the caves whilst looking for a dog must have been astounded to realize that the colours and pigments of the paintings were almost as vibrant as when they were painted, 17 000 years ago. They were preserved in this way because no natural light existed inside the cave. There’s also evidence of ritual worship in the Lascaux caves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Caves that are hard to find have additional significance as places of secret rites and rituals. All caves were seen as temples to the mother Goddess. Pyramids are a manmade mountain/cave structure. Ochre was used to stain and decorate sacred items, as it is seen as the blood of the earth mother.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dragon made their lairs in caves where they guarded their treasures and their eggs. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In elemental magick Earth is a grounding element that is used to ground all the other elements.</p>

<p><b><u>The Four Dignities</u></b></p>
<p>For Buddhists, the Four Dignities are those animals whose characteristics act as a reminder of four important aspects of the Buddha nature as well as the four major compass points.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. Dragon: Communication and compassion, rules the West, the sea and the element water.</p>
<p>2. Tiger: Confidence awareness, modesty and kindness, rules the South, the element Air and forest.</p>
<p>3. Snow Lion: Cheerfulness and certainty, youthfulness and delight; rules the East, the mountains and the element Earth</p>
<p>4. Garuda: Direction action, wisdom and fearlessness, rules North and the element Fire.</p>

<p><b>Knees</b></p>
<p>Kneeling is a sign of subjugation, of deference, and of humility, and the knee itself is a symbol of power and strength since the joint supports almost the entire weight of the body. To “bring to the knees” is therefore symbolic of taking away power.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Bones</b></p>
<p>As well as giving structure to the body, bones survive for a long time after death, and so are imbued with magical properties. Symbolically, bones carry the essence of the creature or person that they were once part of, and there’s a curious but relatively common belief that somehow or other an intact set of bones can be remade into a live body. This idea is seen in fairy tales, myths and traditions from all over the world, such as in the Lapp belief that the bones of a bear, if carefully preserved, will come back to life and the animal will allow itself to be hunted once more. Bear “burial” places have been found where the bones of the bear have been carefully reconstructed. These sites also show evidence of respectful funerary rites. In a similar practice, the Plains Indians would bury the bones of the buffalo with due care and attention so that the animal would be able to come back to life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The bones of small animals were used by shamans in divinatory rites. Over two thousand years ago, in China, bones were heated up and the resulting cracks interpreted as indicating a prediction. Bones as predictive devices were used in other ways, too, for example they were thrown upon the ground in the act of “casting the bones” a term of reference still in use for other divinatory methods, such as rune stones.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The human body contains one bone that has particular relevance as a sacred symbol, and its name gives it away. In Latin, sacrum means “sacred”, and the bone of the same name is the largest, curved and heavy one that sits at the base of the spine. This particular bone was sacred for the Greeks, too who called it the Hiero Osteon. Hiero means “bone”. Therefore this sacred bone acts as a temple to other parts of the anatomy, namely the reproductive parts. In Ancient Egypt the bone was sacred to Osiris and as the “seed” bone was the key to resurrection, since it protected the semen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Due to its size, the bone is one of the very last in the body to rot, along with the skull. For this reason – its longevity – the bone was used as a vessel during religious and magical rites and rituals. These bones are such an important part of the body and because they are believed to hold the essence of their owner, the bones of saints are considered holy relics, imbued with magical powers, and kept locked away in churches. They are believed to be so holy that devils and Demons would keep well away and if the bones were dipped into wine or water, the resulting liquid would be infused with mysterious powers including the ability to cure various ailments.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Black</b></p>
<p>Symbolic meanings: night, the absence of light, mourning, sobriety, denial, authority, perfection and purity, maturity, adversity, mystery and wisdom. Although it’s the opposite of white, both shades are, in fact, due to an absence of colour and technically speaking black is not a “colour” at all. This doesn’t stop it having a wealth of symbolic meaning. It doesn’t require a great leap of the imagination to extend this light/dark, day/night symbolism to good/bad. A fundamentally natural occurrence to do with the orbit of the earth around the sun, therefor has far-reaching consequences, resulting in fear, racism, superstitions and bigotry which even continues today simply because of skin colour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Throughout the world the colour black is associated with evil, harm and negative forces. Black are the colour of night, and the absence of light. However, in mystical traditions, because it contains all colour of the divine and the symbol of undivided oneness. In the Christian tradition, black is associated with penance. In the Circle of wisdom of the Kalachakra certain syllables are given colours and elements, Ya (black); the element of Air.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Black indicates consistency or grief. In the West, black is the colour of mourning and funerals. In some cultures, white is used in this context, in which case it carries the idea of rebirth. Black however, is not so sanguine. It is final conclusive, the denial of life. Despite the mirthless sobriety of black, it depends how you wear it. The “New Black” is a term applied to anything that is in vogue, since black is also somewhat dangerous and sexy, as well as practical therefore always fashionable as a colour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Black Sheep of the family refers to the one who is a bit of a scoundrel, and the “black dog” means depression. A black cat is a very lucky symbol in the UK and other parts of the world, yet in others it’s a sign of bad luck if a black cat cross your path, it’s said to be an omen that predict death to the person whose path it crossed or someone in their family. A person who holds a black belt in any of the martial arts is considered to be at the pinnacle of their abilities, and indeed, in Japan, black is the colour of wisdom, experience and maturity. In this instance, black is a colour of perfection, an idea shared by the Cathars who also saw black as a symbol of completion and purity. Black is a secretive, mysterious colour and used as such in rites and ritual. A polished black mirror provides a perfect glossy surface for scrying or seeing into the future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Islamic symbolism black is a talisman against the evil eye, It is the colour of sadness and sorrow. Black is also the colour of the chador (the cloak worn by devout Muslim woman) and of the cloaks word by Shi’ite clergy. The veil of the sacred Kaaba at Mecca is black. The Kabbaa is a masonry structure in the shape of a cube located within the Great Mosque at Mecca; it’s the most important shrine in Islam. It’s around this structure that ritual circumambulation is performed by Muslims during the Hajj pilgrimage. A black silk cloth decorated t\with gold embroidered passages, from the Koran, known as the Kiswah, are used to cover the Kaaba and prevent anyone from looking directly at the Kaaba, which is forbidden. The Kaaba predated Islam and was originally used to worship various Arabian tribal gods. In the 7<sup>th</sup> century Muhammad preached the religion of Islam and claimed the shrine for the worship of God (Allah) alone. The tribe resisted and ousted Muhammad and his followers. In 630 he returned to Mecca, conquered the tribe and rededicated the Kaaba as an Islamic house of worship. Henceforth the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, known as the Hajj, became a Muslim rite. In the eastern corner of the Kaaba is the sacred Black stone, thought to be a meteorite remnant. The stone symbolizes divine power and direct communication between God and humans. In the language of the flowers Ivy mean Wedded love, fidelity, friendship, affection, (spring of white tendrils), Anxious to please, affection.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Dark grey</b></p>
<p>Symbolic meanings: Sobriety, steadiness, modesty. Gray is the midway point between black and white, and tellingly the “gray area” is an area of in determination, indecision, or ambiguity. To be described as grey is rather less than flattering, since gray is such a subdued and neutral colour. It implies that the person blends into the background. However, gray is also a colour of balance and reasonableness and is the colour used, in photography, to balance all others. People’s hair turns gray with age; a word is often used to describe elderly people and is also a colour of wisdom. For Christians, gray is the colour of resurrection and it worn when people are coming out of full mourning as the midway point on the journey to other colours.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Brown</b></p>
<p>Symbolic meanings: Poverty, humility, practicality. Brown is the colour primarily associated with the Earth, soul the raw element before it is covered with greenery. The word for earth, in Latin, is human, which carries the same root as humility. Religious ascetics wear brown as a reminder of this quality and also of their voluntary material poverty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Turquoise</b></p>
<p>Turquoise is an opaque blue-green mineral esteemed for thousands of years as a sacred stone and talisman. The very finest turquoise stones come from Iran, and it is no coincidence that the name means “Turkish stone” I (ran used to be part of the Ottoman Empire).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The burial mask of Tutankhamun was liberally inlaid with Turquoise. In ancient Persia, Turquoise was worn as an amulet for protection against untimely death. If the stone change colour, it was thought to warn against danger and infidelity. One of the qualities symbolized by the turquoise is that of sensitivity. This is because the stone can be affected by changes in body temperature of the wearer, or by the chemicals in perfumes and sprays. If the owner of a turquoise dies, it is said that the stone will turn pale and colourless until it is given to a new owner, then it will in time regain its former beauty. In the same way, the stone would become pale if its owner was sick and so was considered to be effective litmus of the health of its owner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the Aztecs, the turquoise was considered to be so sacred that no single person was allowed to own one, they all belonged to the Gods, and to the Gods alone. The stone was used to decorate the iconic death masks of these people. When the Maya empire was effectively destroyed by Cortez, the sacred nature of the turquoise was passed on to the Pueblo people. This “stone of the Gods” is also held in high esteem by Native American people. Although its use is now widespread and has become so popular that it has become a symbol of the people themselves, it was originally the preserve of the medicine man and the shaman, who were closest to the Gods and so had some jurisdiction over the stone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Turquoise was one of the stones believed to afford protection from the evil eye. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Turquoise was worn to ensure prosperity. Placed on a horse’s bridle, or braided into their manes, it was thought to prevent accidents and falls. Turquoise was also believed to counteract the effects of poison from snakes or scorpion stings. The stone seems to be a particularly useful and happy stone for its owner, it is said to make friends and enemies, and is symbolic of generosity and affection. However the stone is meant only to confer luck where it is given not bought. As a healing stone, Turquoise supports the assimilation of nutrients.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Amethyst</b></p>
<p>Amethyst is violet/ lavender/purple-coloured quartz used as semi-precious stone in jewellery making. It’s amazing colour has lent deep meaning to this stone, the importance of this is underlined by its appearance as one of the twelve stones set in the breastplate of the High Priest of the Temple of Jerusalem. The name comes from the ancient Greek word amethyst, meaning “sober” and amethystos meaning “non-intoxicating”, reflecting the belief that wearing Amethyst jewellery, placing it under the tongue, or drinking from vessels made of Amethyst, protects the wearer from drunkenness and they could consume as much alcohol as desired. In one account from 1750 the drinker was instructed to wear the stone “bound to the navel” to prevent drunkenness.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The ancient Greeks have a myth that explained why amethyst was a gem of sobriety. Dionysus, the God of Wine, it appears, was aggrieved that his godlike status seemed to be ignored by mortals, so decided to avenge this perceived disrespect and show his power by having his lions randomly slaughter the next person to walk by. This so happened to be a lovely girl. Amethystos, on her way to worship at the temple of Artemis; the unfortunate girl was slaughtered in such a horrendously violent way that Artemis heard her screams, and put her out of her misery and transformed her into a pillar of sparkling transparent crystal. Dionysus was deeply ashamed of that he had done and poured wine over the stone as penance, this wine gave the stone a violet colour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Amethyst has the reputation as a stone of sobriety for bishops (it is also called the Bishop Stone)</p>
<p>Orthodox Christian bishops were said to wear Amethyst to guard against spiritual or worldly intoxication. It may be that the colour, the high frequency hues of violet and purple are associated with the spiritual realms. It should be remembered that purple, as a dye, was a costly colour to produce and so was reserved for those rich enough or illustrious enough to be able to afford it, and yet here is a crystal of that valuable hue, created naturally. No surprise that it was regarded so highly and was seen as a natural symbol of authority.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Egyptians also held the stone in high regards and a heart shaped Amethysts have been found in the tombs of the Pharaohs, where they would have been placed over the heart of the corpse. The Alchemists and magicians of the Middle East felt that the amethyst would protect the wearer from evil spells, especially if they were engraved with the sacred names of the Sun and the Moon and combined with swallow’s feathers. They believed that physical ailments generally sprang from a malaise of the soul, and that the higher vibrational frequencies of the amethyst would help to balance any discrepancies. Therefore the amethyst was powdered and made into elixirs. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is no different from the latter belief that the use of the amethyst can harmonize the body, mind and spirit, helping to bring balance and equilibrium to the wearer. As a healing stone, Amethyst helps overcome addictions of all kinds. It is said to be beneficial for focusing the mind and to help with decision-making.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Onxy</b></p>
<p>A form of quartz, onyx appears in many colours, but pure black is its most famous form. This stone was one of the twelve stones set in the breastplate of the High Priest of the Temple of Jerusalem. The actual word Onyx means “claw” or “nail” in Greek, and the story goes that the mischievous Cupid cut Venus’ nails one day while she was sleeping on the beach. Cupid left the fingernail shards scattered around the sand dunes, but the Fates, wanting to make sure that no scrap of the Goddess would be wasted, turned the fingernails into onyx stones.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Onyx comes in a wide range of colours, sometimes striated, sometimes plain. The reddish coloured onyxes are called sardonyx, which was useful in Roman times for the carving of seals, since the wax never stuck to the stone. Sarsonyx could also ward off Charms and curses, keeping its owner happy and healthy. Onyx is often heavily patterned and the stones that resemble an eye are used as an amulet for protection against the evil eye. The stone was used in magical rituals to conjure up demons, and it may well be this property that cased the warning that the stone should never be worn at night or the wearer will suffer from nightmares.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Arabic the word “Onyx” is El jaza, meaning “sadness”, as it also has a reputation of draining energy and causing melancholy. It’s also considered to be an unlucky stone, and again this could be because of its association with demonic beings. The Indians and the Ancient Egyptians thought that wearing Onyx may cause passion to wane and lovers to part. However it was also renowned for its healing power as well. Hildegrad of Bingen recommended that onyx be “soaked” in wine for up to 30 days, the resulting elixir would then be used to touch the eyes in order to clear eyesight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In European folklore, onyx is used to initiate psychic attacks, especially those of a sexual nature. It is said to be dangerous for pregnant woman, causing still births, but in India the opposite is true and onyx protects and eases childbirth. Today onyx is said to help in difficult circumstances. As it retains memories belonging to the wearer, it is useful for healing old traumas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Garnet</b></p>
<p>Although the Garnet can be transparent, green, yellow, orange, ultraviolet, brown and black (although not blue), it is the red garnet that is the best known, because it generally has a rich , dark colour similar to that of blood. The garnet has long been associated with this vital liquid, and is said to be effective in treating bleeding wounds, blood disease and haemorrhages. It has been believed to have been able to staunch bleeding wounds and was used as a protective talisman by soldiers from the Crusades onwards, set into sword hilts and shields. It is also believed that the garnet can inflict mortal wounds on the enemy. Travellers used to carry garnets with them to light up the night and protect them from disaster. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1892, when Indian and British troops were fighting each other in Kashmir, the Hunza tribesmen used spherical garnets as bullets at intervals between regular ammunition. These jewels used as weapons caused many serious injuries or fatalities to the British forces. It is a very tough stone, and also one of the 12 stones set into the breastplate of the High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>These stone were often carved into cabochon shapes, with a curved underside to maximise the light pouting through the gem, which has extremely high refractive value because of its hardness. It was a popular way to carve these stones since ancient times, this way of carving a garnet is called a “carbuncle”. Such is the light given off by this carbuncle that the Qu’ran says that it gives light to the fourth Heaven. There is a legend that says Noah’s Ark featured a huge garnet set on a pedestal as a lantern. This stone gave off such a great amount of light that it illuminated the ship both night and day, it also helped him steer his ark through the darkness. Garnets are found in jewellery from early Egyptian, Greek and Roman times.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The name “garnet” comes from pomegranate, and the jewel does look similar to the sparkling seeds of the fruit, which caused it to be associated with the fertility of the womb. The refractive quality og the garnet is one of the features that makes it a symbol of protection, providing light in the darkness and causing enemies to flee.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As a healing stone the garnet is said to regenerate the body and spirit, and to throw off melancholy, although there are strict instructions as to its usage. As a heart stimulant it was particularly effective, but if worn for to long or if the patient did not remain conscious and calm throughout the process, the close proximity of this fiery, blood red stone could over stimulate the passion. Similarly, when used to cure melancholia, the side-effects could be insomnia – an indication of just how stimulating the stone can be.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Today, the garnet is thought to be a powerfully energizing and regenerating stone. It helps bring Clarity to self-perception and the perception of others, and stimulates sluggish metabolism.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Ruby</b></p>
<p>The word Ruby is synonymous with red; and it comes from the Latin word Rubens which has the same meaning. Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum and is associated with unbridled love, passion and power. A powerful and valuable precious gem, in India the Ruby is called ratnaraj, meaning the “Lord of Precious stones”. The Hindu calls their most precious and valuable rubies “Brahmins”, and these particular stones had to be protected from contact with inferior rubies in case of contamination. Further evidence of the stone as a symbol of royalty can be found in the title of the former Kings of Bruma, who were known as the “Lord of the Rubies.” In Christian lore, it was considered an emblem of good fortune, banishing sorrow, and warding off negative thoughts. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Ruby is one of the hardest stones, second only to the diamond. During the time of Pliny the Elder, rubies – like other red stones – were categorized as one of the carbunculii, a grouping that also included garnets and spinels. The colour of the ruby plays a major part in its symbolic meaning. They are the colour of vitality, the life giving forces and passion, they were considered to be so powerful that, if thrown into water, they could make the water boil. The light from the ruby was also said to shine through any cloth wrapped around it, and so it was impossible to hide.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This idea of precious stones generating light rather than just reflecting or refracting it occurs time and time again in the writings of the Ancients, and a ruby was said to have been set on the roof of the Temple of the Holy Grail so that the Grail knights could be guided towards it in the dark. This leant the ruby spiritual significance in addition to its worldly value. In Hindu legends, the ruby lights up the underworld, Kantha. There’s an old legend that the ruby starts out as a clear stone but ripens in the ground during the course of hundreds, if not thousands of years. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The stone is a symbol of protection, and if a landowner touched all 4 corners of his estate with a ruby then the land would be protected from lightning and storms; and the harvest would be enormous. Similarly, wearing a ruby in such a way that it touches the skin would protect the wearer from ill health, particularly if the stone was placed on the left side of the body since the colour of the ruby meant that it was instantly connected to the heart and the circulatory system.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Although the ruby is a symbol of passion, it also represents conscious control of the emotions. It was believed to restrain lust and to clear the mind. Like other red stones, it could staunch the flow of blood and this led to the belief that to own a ruby would make a warrior impervious to injury by weapons made of steel, including a gun. To be particularly effective the ruby had to be embedded beneath the skin. The spinel is sometimes mistaken for a ruby and they are sometimes even referred to as rubies. For example the “Great Balas Ruby that forms a part of the British Imperial state crown is actually a spinel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As a healing stone, the ruby balances the heart and circulatory system, combats exhaustion and imparts vigour. It detoxifies the blood and lymph and threats infection. Psychologically, the ruby brings about a positive and courageous state of mind and promotes enthusiasm for life.</p>

<p><b>Lead</b></p>
<p>A weighty metal, it is no surprise that lead symbolizes heaviness and an oppressive burden. It is the attribute of Saturn, and both the planet and the God (who is often depicted as a grim looking hunched old man carrying a scythe) share these somewhat morose qualities, from which the word “saturnine” is coined. In alchemy, lead is described as the “base metal” which will hopefully be transmuted into gold. In order to do these alchemists made great efforts to free themselves from the limitations of the material world as symbolized by this heavy metal.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Numbers</b></p>
<p><b>Five (5)</b></p>
<p>Five is in the middle of the first nine numbers; it is the number representing the centre and harmony. The dots that add up to 5, if placed symmetrically, give the potential for a five-pointed star (pentagram) or for a five sided shape (pentagon). The pentagram is very well known to many magick practitioners, also to Satanists. The head of the goat, placed inside it has long been seen as a symbol of Satan, but it hold a far older use. It was used as a symbol of for the horned god. Cernunnos for the Celtic tales, Pan for the Greek gods, Aamon for the Egyptians For the pagans the horned god was the male aspect of the nature god. It was the Christians that turned him into a evil devil. In the Hebrew Gematria chart: Heh - E/H - 5, the numeric value to the letters are seen.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The 5 like the 3, is constructed from adding an odd number (3) to an even number (2), thus blending male and female. The pentagram itself is a mystical symbol that also holds within it all the qualities of the 5. Five is a number of balance, its central dot acts as a pivot for the two on either side. It’s also the numerical symbol of a human being, which form the five-pointed star shape when legs and arms are outstretched, as in Leonardo’s famous drawing of Vitruvian Man.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the Western world there are four elements, but in the east there are 5, or quintessence, that blinds them all together, called ether. Alchemists indicate this with a five-petaled rose in the centre of a cross, redolent of the Rose Cross Lamen. The Pythgoreans held that the pentagram, or Pentad, was a sacred symbol of health, vitality and light. The holy number 10 is divided equally into two parts by the Pentad, which also symbolizes the triumph of spirit over matter.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Japanese Buddhism, there are five directions, the exciting cardinal point plus the centre. In Mayan civilization, five was the symbol for perfection, possibly related to the five digits on a hand. In Islam, five is a “lucky” number and it occurs time and time again. There are five hours of prayer, for example, and five senses, and five keys to the mysteries of the Qu’ran.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Pancha is the name of the number 5 in the Yantric system, and it stands for the five functions of the Divine, namely creation, preservation, destruction, obstruction and liberation. There are also five layers of bodies of Man: Physical, vital, astral, wisdom and bliss. In the Tarot, 5 is the number of the Hierophant or the Pope, who represents the face of God on earth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In China, five is the number of centre – the ideogram of wu (five) being composed of a cross and the centre symbolizing the 5 elements</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Fifteen (15)</b></p>
<p>Fifteen is the product of two sacred numbers 3 x 5. The Sumerian Goddess Ishtar was attended by 15 priests and her city, Ninevah, had 15 gates, because Ishtar was the Goddess of both war and physical love, her number sometimes has negative meanings although the understanding of the number holds the key to greater spiritual comprehension. In the Tarot, 15 is the number of the Devil, since 1 + 5 gives us the ambivalent number 6, which apparently does not know right from wrong. However, it’s not all bad news for 15, because each Moon effectively waxes for 15 days, there is 15 steps to freedom and personal enlightenment in the Passover Seder or mean. Seder means “order: or “arrangement”. To Kabbalists, 15 is the number of energy points that run down the centre of the body. </p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Ivy</b></p>
<p>Ivy is traditionally seen as the female counterpart to the masculine holly, and the two plants are paired together symbolically in Christmas and Yuletide songs. Like the vine, ivy has tendrils that enable it to climb vigorously, and, like the vine . The satyrs and Dionysus, the God of wine, often wear wreathes of ivy. He is often depicted using the plant to bind the nubile young ladies who would otherwise resist his advances. A wreath of ivy used to hang outside shops as a sign that wine might be purchased there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The clinging aspect of Ivy symbolizes true love and faithfulness in marriage and friendship. In Christianity, ivy signifies resurrection and eternal life, as do other evergreens. For medieval Christians, who observed that ivy grew on dead trees, it symbolized the immortal soul that survived the dead body. As it thrives in the shadem ivy is associated with debauchery, carousing, sensuality and the enjoyment of forbidden pleasures. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ivy was believed to be able to both cause and cure drunkenness, and an old cure for a hangover was to drink vinegar in which ivy berries had been boiled. It should be stated here, however, that most parts of the ivy are poisonous and it is not recommended that you try this remedy, no matter how bad your headache. Houses with ivy growing on them are seen as being protected by the maternal nature of the plant, but the clinginess of the ivy is viewed as a less attractive female characteristic. It is the same binding tendency that makes ivy an ingredient in love charms. Ivy appears in the Ogan Tree Alphabet ehere it is called Gort.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Hearts Easr</b></p>
<p>In the language of the flowers Hearts Easr also known as Purple or Johnny Jump Up mean – you occupy my thoughts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Hemlock</b></p>
<p>The very word “hemlock” make you think of poison. But strangely, although hemlock is deadly for humans, it doesn’t harm domestic animals. Hemlock is symbolic with death, and was famously consumed by Socrates after his trail. Socrates was given the death sentence and it was decreed that he must kill himself by drinking hemlock. The great philosopher used his philosophical outlook to great effect and drank the hemlock without a fuss, even managing to describe his symptoms as the poison overcame him. The whole episode was described by Plato. To this day the phrase “to drink hemlock” is synonymous with committing suicide. Hemlock used to be rubbed into knives and swords to prepare them to kill the enemy, the poison further enhance the potency of the blade as an instrument of death. The hemlock plant should not be confused with Tsuga, the tree genus of hemlock.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Yew</b></p>
<p>One of the longest living of all trees, yews are in existence even today, that is said to be up to 9000 years old, although it is difficult to prove these claims definitely. The age of a yew tree aside from any fanciful mythology, can be determined by its girth, and also by the science of dendrochronology, in which the living tree is bored with a special tool and the annual rings are counted.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Because of their longevity, the yew is a symbol of everlasting life. It grows in an unusual way, its new stems grow down the side of the tree, making the yew synonymous with rebirth and regeneration, as the new is born from the old. Adding to this symbolism is its habit of putting in a growth spurt when it is around 500 years old.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So sacred was the yew as a symbol that to a pre-Christian society, wherever it grew was considered to be sacred ground. It was considered both immoral and illegal to chop down the tree. It is likely that the yew is often seen in churchyards, because the church itself would have been built in this sacred ground in the presence of the tree, in an effort to align the incoming Christian belief system with Pagan traditions. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The association of the tree with death therefore started to overlay its former meaning. As the berries of the yew are poisonous, they can effectively carry people into the spirit world. The hollow centre of the yew tree is a symbol of the power that lies in empty space, but underlines the significance of this tree as belonging, in part, to a spiritual dimension. Recently, the yew as a symbol of life has been shown in a practical and unexpected way. One of the constituent chemicals of the tree, taxol, has been found to be effective in curing breast cancer. Yew wood is tough and durable and was used for making shields and spears, and also by using both Heartwood and sapwood to pain extra strength, the English longbow that helped the English win the battle of Agincourt in 1415, at which they were completely outnumbered, hence the yew is also the symbol of the warrior.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Elm</b></p>
<p>The Elm population in the UK and the US has been decimated by Dutch Elm disease, and this lofty, dignified tree, which used to reach an age of 400 years or more, is now considered lucky if it reached thirty. The symbolism of this tree is rich, as befits such a beautiful specimen. Groves of Elms were sacred to the Goddess or the Great Mother, and some belive that the first woman was created by the elm tree. Such a large tree would be seen as a protective force. And the elm was planted in particular in vineyards to shade the plants and protect the vines. As a result it came to be linked with Bacchus, the Roman God of wine, the vine and the Elm were effectively “wedded”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Elm is also connected with death, and the wood was used to make coffins at a time when the tree itself was not so rare. The elm has a special affinity with the elves that are said to guard burial mounds, so the trees was associated with these places. The first elm was meant to have sprung up where Orpheus paused to play his beloved Eurydice a love song after he rescued her from the underworld.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The size of the elm meant that they made a good marker in the landscape, so much so that they often had pet names, and were used as meeting places. In the US, the famous Liberty tree in Boston, Massachusetts, was a colossal elm neneath which the so-called Sons of Liberty met from 1766 onwards. At the time of the American Revolution, an unauthorized meeting was a punishable offence, but it was relatively easy to meet, hidden, beneath the branches of sutch a tall tree. Soon all 13 colonies each had a Liberty Tree as a place to meet under. The elm itself therefore became synonymous with the idea of independence and liberty.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Pine</b></p>
<p>Pine trees are ever green, which makes them a natural symbol for immortality and longevity. The pine is also a symbol of incorruptibility and fortitude, since it remains untouched by storms and inclement weather. The ancient Egyptians hollowed out the centre of a pine tree and with the excavated wood, made an image of the tree God Osiris. They then buried the image like a corpse in the hollow of the tree, which was kept for a year and then burned. The pine tree was also associated with the Greek goddess Pitthea and with the wine God Dionysus. Worshippers of Dionysus often carried a cone-tipped wand, because the pine cone was an ancient fertility amulet. To the Romans, the pine tree was worshiped during the spring equinox festival of Cybele and Attis. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mongolian shamans, or traditional healers, entered pine forests in silence with reverence for the gods and spirits thought to be living within. In ancient Celtic lands, Druids would light large pine bonfires at the winter solstice to call back the sun. Pine trees were decorated with candles and colourful metallic objects, which gave rise to the traditional of the Christmas tree. In Japan, followers of Shinto set two pine trees on either side of the gateway to home at the time of the New Year Festivities. Shinto is an animistic religion, one of its tenets say that every living thing has a spirit, and the pine is said to be inhabited by benevolent spirits or “kami”. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Thyrsus was a sacred implement used in rituals and festivals during the time of the Ancients Greeks. It was a staff, standing about as high as the owner, made from a giant Fennel stalk topped with a pine cone and wrapped in vine Leaves. As a phallic symbol, it was combined with a goblet or chalice, symbolic of female energy and used to counterbalance the staff. As well as being a symbol of male energy, though, staffs are long poles of some description have a universal use as a sacred instrument to connect the Heavens to the Earth, a conductor for the divine spirit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Legendary Immortals in the Taoist religions ate the cones, needles and resin, which made them light enough to be able to fly. The trees are also said to stand at the gates of the City of the Immortals. The popular egg and dart frieze consists of stylized lotus flowers and pine cones which contains hidden sexual symbolism. The flowers represent the vigina, and the cones, the phallus. The Pine also appears in the Ogham tree alphabet, where it is called Ailim. Although superficially different from the spruce and the fir tree that are traditionally used as Christmas trees, pines are part of the same botanical family, the Pinaceae (to which they gave their name).</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>The Goat/Ram</b></p>
<p>The Capricorn constellation, so the ancients agreed, was definitely a goat; however, it generally appears as a goat/fish hybrid. In mythology, Capricorn is associated with the Gods Saturn and Zeus. The Ancient Greeks, too, have the she-goat as a symbol of lightning. For them the goat was immortalized in the constellation Amalthea, emblematic of the goat that suckled Zues on the sacred mountain, Mount Ida. If the constellation was visible then storms and rain should be expected, and once more language provides a clue about the reasoning of ancient man: “aegis” is the word shared by both goatskin and stormy weather. Finally, what of the scapegoat? The first mention of it occurs in the Old Testament. A ritual involved 2 goats. One was set free and the other sacrificed. The liberated goat, however, was laden with the sins of the people and sent out into the desert to perish, its death often hastened by it being pushed over a cliff; the name of this cliff Azazel – “the goat that departs” – was also the name of a demon. The concept of the scapegoat exists today as a term for someone who takes on the blame for the wrongdoings of others, and has sometimes led to the goat symbolising an unrepentant sinner.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the Persians it was called the Sea Goat, Vahik; for the Babylonians it was the Goat-Fish; for the Greeks it was called the Goat-Horned One. Mahara, meaning Sea Monster, was the Sanskrit name. The only Exception was Romans, who saw interpretation of the Goddess, Vesta, in the constellation. Modern images of Capricorn often tend to lose the sea-monster aspect, but older interpretations show it with four legs and the tail of a fish, or an entire rear end comprising of a serpent like tail.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Egypt, the goat was a symbol of nobility, also known as the God of Nature. The horned goat God Pan was one of the oldest Greek deities, associated with nature and sexual energy. Christianity has depicted Satan as having the body parts and horns of a goat, possibly because in the Middle Ages the symbol of Lust was a buck in rut. In Chinese astrology, the goat is associated with shyness, introversion, creativity and perfectionism. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>In fairy tales and folklore, fauns and satyrs are mythological creatures that are part ram or goat and part human. They were the male companions of the Greek God Dionysus and the Roman God Bacchus, satyrs symbolise the sex drive and were often portrayed with an erection. The Satyr was believed to be the outcome of such degenerative carnality, a salutary lesson of what could happen if humans surrendered to their baser desires. In the Greek tradition they appear with a horse’s tail. In the Roman tradition they are frequently described as having the upper half of a man and the lower half of a goat. Satyrs are rogues. They are also subversive, shy and cowardly, and love wine, woman and boys. They enjoy music and dancing with the nymphs. The romans also sat the goat as a symbol of lusciousness and fertility. Barren woman were advised to have sexual congress with goats or, alternatively, to have their backs whipped with the skin of a sacrificed goat, cut into strips. This ritual was believed to purify the woman and may even have inspired the name of the festival during which it was performed – “Lupercalia” – possibly from luere per caprum, meaning “to purify by means of the goat”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Horny in all senses of the word, the goat is arguably the most infamous as a symbol of lust and procreation, a reputation gained in no small part from the influence of the so-called Goat of Mendes, also known as, Baphomet. This powerful Deity was worshipped in a way that involved slaves copulating with goats in a ritual intended to honour the procreative power of nature.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Baphomet are recognised as the winged goat with a masculine torso and breasts, he has a blazing torch between his horns, and cloven feet. Adding to the confusion, one arm is male and the other is female. The image made its first appearance relatively recently, in Eliphas Levi’s Dogma and Rituals of High Magic (1854). Although Levi intended the creature (also called the Goat of Mendes) to be an idealized symbolic form, an amalgam of images from all disciplines including the Kabbalah, he actually created something that looks far more terrifying that he may originally intended.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The picture influenced illustrations of the Devil, not only in tarot card illustrations but also among latter-day rock bands and Satanists. Baphomet himself was first described at the trails of the Knights Templar, centuries before Levi’s interpretation. When the order began in the twelfth century, it was designed to protect pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem. Because the knights were exempt from taxation, they amassed a huge amount of wealth and power. When they became a threat to the establishment, they were pursued and part of this persecution included accusations of heresy including the worship of a particular goat-headed creature.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The abundant shaggy hair of the goat as well as its horns, contribute to its perceived sexual virility. It was said that one male goat could service one hundred and fifty females. In some places, the goat is a symbol of Fire and in particular the fire associated with lightning. The imagery occurs in the Vedic tales from India where Agni, the Lord of Fire is seen riding a goat. Similar symbolism is found in China and in Tibet, the creature seen as a messenger that conveys the blessings of the Gods in their Heavens to human beings on Earth</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Other cloven hoofed animals</b></p>
<p><b>Pig</b></p>
<p>In many cultures the pig is a fertility symbol, but also represents negative qualities such as gluttony, greed, lust, anger and the unclean. In some traditions the sow is associated with the Great Mother. Swine were sacrificed at harvest time to Ceres and Demeter in ancient Greece, in their form as fertility Goddesses. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Diamond or Adamantine Sow is Vajravarhi , Queen of Heaven. In Catholicism, St Anthony is the patron saint of Swineherds.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>The Sheep</b></p>
<p>The Female sheep was associated with Celtic Goddess Brigit or Brighid and her spring festival Embolic, meaning ewe’s milk. Christ carrying a lamb or a sheep on his shoulders symbolizes the soul of the deceased being borne by him into Heaven. Sheep represent the flock or congregation of Christ, who is known as the Good Shepard. Christ is also portrayed as the Sacrificial Lamb of God or Agnus Dei. In the Abrahamic faiths, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and King David were all shepherds. In Chinese folklore, because of the way a lamb dances around its mother, it is a symbol of respect and love for parents. Sheep are key symbols in Fables and Nursery rhymes such as “The Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing” and “Baa Baa Black Sheep”. In Europa, a black sheep is considered a sign of good luck. In the English language, calling someone a sheep suggested that they are timid and easily led.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Agnes Dei / Lamb of God are one of the names given to Jesus in the New Testament and used in the Christian tradition to refer to the role of Jesus as a sacrificial lamb atoning for the sins of the world. The idea of the Lamb of God may have its origins in ancient sacrifices that were constructed during Pass over at the Jewish Temple, in which a pure unblemished lamb was sacrificed, its blood poured out and offered as atonement for sins. In the same way Christians believe that they can be freed from sin by the blood of Jesus, as the unblemished Lamb of God.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A litany beginning with the words “Lamb of God” is used in the Roman Catholic Mass: Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi miserere nobis… (‘O Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, has mercy upon us…) The Lamb of God is a symbol of purity, innocence and renewal. It is depicted with a halo and a banner with a red cross on a white background, symbolizing resurrection.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It might seem odd that the adult version of the lamb – the sheep – carries quite a negative symbolism, as a creature that blindly runs with the flock, unable to think as an individual. The term “sheep” is generally used pejoratively. However the lamb is a much more positive symbol. It stands for innocence and purity, the spiritual, the compliant, and gentleness. It is also a symbol for spring, new hope and the triumph over adversity. There is a specific symbol, the Paschal Lamb, which perfectly embodies the sacrifice to god, the lamb appears with a Halo and a banner, symbolized both sanctity and victory. The lamb is also a symbol of peace and where it appears with the dove, this aspect is compounded. Sometimes the lamb and the lion appear together, a universal symbol of concord and harmony and the balancing of opposites.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Cattle</b></p>
<p>In ancient cultures the Palaeolithic Goddess, the Venus of Laussel, is shown holding a crescent-shaped bull horn, while the Egyptian God Ossiris was often depicted with the head of a bull. The bull is both a solar and a lunar creature. His male fertility and his fierce temperament make him the masculine sun God in many ancient cultures. However, the bull’s crescent shaped horns link him to moon worship. The moon Goddess Astarte often rode a bull. The bull represents valour, bravery, generosity, strength and fortitude.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nut, the Egyptian goddess of the night sky, was often represented as a cow, as was the Egyptian Goddess Hathor. In many cultures the cow represents the Great Mother, the earth, asking, receiving, love nurturing, warmth and abundance. Cow deities, such as Nandini, the wish-fulfilling cow, are popular in Vedic literature. In Hinduism, the cow is believed to be a treasure produced from the cosmic ocean by the Gods. Cows are still considered sacred in India today, and they are left to roam free and wander where ever they choose. Their horns are often decorated with flowers and coloured ornaments, as a sign of respect and affection. The East African Maasai people also consider their crowns as gifts from God. According to Norse creation myths, the cow Adumla was the first creature to emerge, and created the first man by licking him out of a salt block. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>The cow say “Take my milk, I can always feed you. I’ll eat the grass of the God/Goddess and in return pas food fortune on to you. Nourishment is never-ending when I appear on your path. Don’t forget to till the soil so that grass may grow. Abundance is made manifest out of a universal system. Do your part and I will do mine with joy. Ask and you will receive all the blessings I have to offer “. The Cow reminds you that there is no shortage of blessings in the world. Ask to partake in infinite abundance, and you will, get exactly what you need.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Buffalo</b></p>
<p>At 900kg (2,000 lb) and 1,8m (6feet) tall at its humped shoulders, the American buffalo or bison is an impressive animal. Before every hunt, Native Americans praised the buffalo with a tribal ritual dance. This animal supplied virtually everything that the plains people needed: food clothing, tools and housing material. The animals were called “buffalo people” by some tribes and revered for their power and the good fortune they brought. The hide of the rare white buffalo became a sacred talisman and a priceless possession.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Deer/Stag</b></p>
<p>The Deer represent gentleness, endurance, grace, long life and diplomacy. The deer is a Chinese symbol for longevity. In Palaeolithic cave paintings at Trois-Fréres in France, the figure of a shaman known as The Sorcerer wears antlers embodying the Deer-spirit. Deer are represented in heraldry by the stag or hart.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Deer remind you to step gently on your path, for you’re walking in a time of gentle movements and diplomacy. The deer’s strength is in this quality. Make it your own that your steps are gentle but successfully assured. It’s important that you be gentle with yourself as well. Blend your personal energy with the Deer’s energy of gentleness and diplomacy. Walk softly, and the way forward will be smooth. Remember … never mistake gentleness for weakness in yourself or others.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many ancient cultures identified the deer with rebirth, because it annually sheds and regrows its antlers. Stags were associated with Cernunnos, the Celtic horned god of nature and hunting. He is associated with the fecundity of the forest and with horned animals, such as the stag and the ram-headed snake. He is also called Lord of the Animals, the Horned Sacred One and Lord of the Hunt. He is depicted as a horned man seated cross legged, sometimes holding a snake. His antlers symbolize the yearly cycle of death, regeneration and renewal, as does his snake, which sheds its skin. He wears a torc, and ornate necklace used to denote nobility, and carries another torc or a purse filled with coins symbolising wealth and commence.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When the Stag appears on your path, he tells you to take pride in all that you do. Be the leader and hold your head high and others will follow by your example. Ask yourself these questions “Al I following my highest path?”; “Am I acting in integrity and doing the best I can?” or “Am I held back by the kind of pride that cuts me off from life through arrogance, or its reverse, low self-esteem?” The stag asks you to be a leader, be proactive (with the highest intentions), and to always ask, “What is the highest good for all?” Arrogance and its reverse are both places of alienation and ways to avoid responsibility and accountability. The stag leads you out of both difficult places into the kind of pride that reminds you that you’re always in service to the God/Goddess in every step you take. You may already be there, in which case, you should be proud and happy. Look how far you’ve come! Rejoice, for the Stag always leads you to a higher place with a sure and steady footing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Gazelle/Antelope</b></p>
<p>Possibly the most striking and beautiful feature of the antelope is its eyes, and one of the highest complements that can be paid to almost any Eastern woman is to tell her that she has the eyes of a gazelle. As well as being beautiful, the large eyes of the gazelle are sharp, able to detect movement as far as four miles away. This acute vision makes the creature sacred to the Goddess of Wisdom, Athena/Minerva, who shares the sharp eyes and perception of the animal. This sharp vision was also noted by the Egyptians, who attributed the powers of prophecy to the gazelle. The annual flooding of the Nile was a critical time for them, and they believed that the gazelle gave warning of it by sneezing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another quality of the gazelle that has informed its symbolic meaning is its ability to run very fast. Speeds of up to seventy miles per hour have been recorded just 15 seconds after a standing start, and the animal can sustain speeds of 30 – 45 mph with no problem. This is why, in the Rig Veda, the gazelle carries the wind on its back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Native Americans, the swiftness, the vision, and the peaceable nature of the animal made it sacred, its bones kept safely for a year before being disposed of in a ritual that called on the spirit of the antelope to assist in the hunt. The animal was accorded with magical powers as a teacher of humankind, and is one of the spirit animals that the skilled shaman can transform into.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>An old name for a doe, the hind is essentially a female symbol, gentle and shy, a mother and yet a virgin. There are several Goddesses that have an association with this lovely forest animal, notably Hera, the Greek Goddess of Love and Marriage, Diana/Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt, and the Celtic Goddess of the Woodland, Flidass.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Genghis Khan was said to be the offspring of a blue hind and a blue wolf, symbolism that is almost alchemic in its nature: the herbivore mating with the carnivore, the marriage of spirit and matter. The hind is also the form taken by the Valkyries, who carry spirits of dead warriors into the Afterworld. The Ceryneian Hind in Greek mythology is the origin of the Golden Hind. This animal had antlers of Gold and hooves of brass, could run like the wind, and was sacred to Artemis, the Goddess of the Hunt who, like the hind, was chaste. Capturing this animal was one of the labours of Hercules. For the Celts, the Hunt for the hind was a metaphor that implied the search for wisdom.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Bird</b></p>
<p><b>Eagle</b></p>
<p>One of the most important archetypal bird symbols, the prominence of the eagle is a worldwide phenomenon. The Eagle is the “King of the Birds” and the “lion of the skies”, and its use as a symbol is clear. It resembles power, authority, nobility and truth; it is the ultimate solar symbol. In Greek the name of the eagle shares the same stem as aigle, meaning “ray of light”.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The eagle’s wings symbolize protection, and the gripping talons and sharp beak represent the threat of destruction. Many nations and organizations use the eagle on their coat of arms. In Christianity, the eagle symbolizes John the Apostle and its soaring quality stands for the first chapter to his Gospel. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is a symbol of one of the four evangelists of the New Testament, St John. Here the eagle represents divine inspiration. However, the saying “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” applies here, because the bird is reputedly the natural enemy of snakes, and the eagle has been regarded as on the “side” of God ever since the Devil was symbolized as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, tempting Adam and Eve away from the straight and narrow path of good towards the twisting and corrupting path of evil. However, the eagle and the snake seen together symbolize the opposing concepts of matter and spirit, Earth and Heaven, instinct and intellect, the mundane and the sublime, and therefore the unity of the cosmos. In Norse mythology, the eagle sits in the great World Tree, Yggdrasil, counter-balanced by the serpent that twines about the tree roots.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The eagle’s reputation as a symbol of truth comes from its sharp sightedness; the eyesight of the eagle is at least four times superior to that of human beings, and combined with its high – flying abilities it means that the bird can see the bigger picture, quite literally. Therefore, it is meant to e able to discern truth from falsehood, because it flies so high, often appearing to be heading straight for the sun, people believe that the eagle was the only creature in the world able to gaze directly into the brightness of the sun without hurting its eyes. For this reson the bird also symbolizes mental and spiritual enlightenment and the aspiration of a pure heart, able to look into the face of God with no fear. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>When a eagle dives at its prey it will always try to dive with the sun at its back, this tactic allow them to almost invisible to their prey. As the prey has to look into the sun to see them, and would only be able to really see the eagle when it is very close.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Shamans believe that the eagle communicated their gifts directly from God, the bird acting as intermediary. They believe that the first Shaman was conceived after an eagle impregnated a woman, another symbol of the bird as a divine spirit or winged messenger. This has parallels with another winged creature, the Angel Gabriel, who told Mary of her impending condition. In both cases, the resulting child is a sort of spiritual hybrid, able to connect God and man.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eagle has always been the emblem par excellence of emperors and empires, even prior to its presence on the imperial standard of the Ceasars and its later-day use as the symbol of the United States, where the altogether more humble dove balances its grandiose power. The death of an emperor was heralded by the release of eagles into the skies, symbolic of the soul ascending to the Heavens. However, more sinisterly, the symbolic power and attributes of the eagle were appropriated by the Nazis to bolster their own image. This is as instance where a powerful symbol can be abused, something that also happened to another ancient solar symbol, the swastika, whose implicit benevolent meaning is unfortunately still tainted because of its use by the Nazis.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Eagle is a sacred bird to many Native American tribes and its power allocated to eagle feathers are central to numerous religious customs and tribal ceremonies. It is seen as sacred and a symbol of the mightiness of the bird and of its special place within the Native American pantheon. As a spiritual being and ancestor, sometimes appears on totem poles. The eagle is the “father” of the people, a God, and illicit possession of a feather by anyone who does not have the right to have it is punishable by hefty fines. The eagle feather is not only sacred to Native Americans, but to Hindu’s, too, where the eagle brought a food called Soma to humankind from the Gods.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Aztecs, associated the Eagle not with a lion, but a Jaguar, and the throne of the Aztec emperor was decorated with eagle feathers and jaguar skin to symbolize his association with these powerful creatures. The Eagles “told” the people where Mexico City should be built; duly appearing perched on a cactus growing out of rock, as decreed by an ancient legend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Greeks, too, accorded the eagle with the power to indicate a sacred site, and Delphi, the site of the Omphalos (the “navel” or the spiritual centre of the world) was established a the spot where two eagles, released from the ends of the earth by Zeus, crossed in the sky. The eagle shares much of the same symbolism as a phoenix, i.e. that of the sun that never dies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>The Glyph</b></p>
<p>The Capricorn Sigil is an unusual squiggle, which could be a sketch of the horns of the goat. However, the glyph appears in various forms. The sign is a combination of straight lines and curves that point to the dual nature of the Capricorn, the material side on the earth and the spiritual side in the water. There was an old saying that time ended with Capricorn. Again, this was because of the time of year that the constellation loomed over the horizon, and its intimate association with Saturn, also known as Chronos, the God of Time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><b>Qualities</b></p>
<p>Capricorn comes into the sky, in the northern hemisphere, at the time of winter solstice, “the gateway of the Gods”. * In the Far East, this time heralds the New Year. Saturn, the ruler of the sign, denotes patience, perseverance, and industry. The hybrid nature of the symbol points towards an inherent duality. On the one hand is the sure-footed mountain goat, closely in touch with its earth element and aspiring to the heights, worldly and intellectual. On the other is the aspect of the sign that relates to water, unconscious and psychic powers, depth, and intuition. Capricorn is hard working, practical, disciplined, very methodical, organized and ambitious, but with a mystical aspect to its nature. They tend to choose to follow a path to higher spiritual awareness, leaving the material world behind. The saturnine aspect of the sign is reflected in the dignity and self-discipline common to those born under it, who can be withdrawn and contemplative. It is the quest for people born under this sign to reconcile the two very distinct aspects of their nature, the worldly with the spiritual, and the ambitious with the contemplative.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For the Buddhists, the Four Dignities are those animals whose characteristics act as a reminder of four important aspects of the Buddha nature as well as the four major compass points. These animals are:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dragon: Communication and compassion; rules the West, the sea and the element of water.</p>
<p>Tiger: Confidence, awareness, modesty, and kindness, rules the South, the element Air, and forest.</p>
<p>Snow Lion: Cheerful and certainty youthfulness and delight; rules the East, the mountains, and the element of Earth.</p>
<p>Garuda: Direct action, wisdom, and fearlessness; rules the North and the element of Fire.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">They do not know love, but the forfillment of their own desires…</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">They crave the power of the energy that surrounds me</p>

<h2 class="western">Origins of the Ouroboros</h2>
<p>The Serpent biting its own tail is first seen as early as 1600 years BC in Egypt. From there it moved to the Phonecians and then to the Greeks, who called it the Ouroboros, which means <em>devouring its tail</em>.</p>
<p><br/>The serpent biting its tail is found in other mythoi as well, including Norse myth, where the serpent's name is Jörmungandr, and in Hindu, where the dragon circles the tortoise which supports the four elephants that carry the world.<br/>Alternate spellings include: <cite>oroborus</cite>, <cite>uroboros</cite>, and <cite>oureboros</cite>.</p>
<h2 class="western">Symbology behind the Ouroboros</h2>
<p>The ouroboros has several meanings interwoven into it. Foremost is the symbolism of the serpent biting, devouring, eating its own tail. This symbolises the cyclic Nature of the Universe: creation out of destruction, Life out of Death. The ouroboros eats its own tail to sustain its life, in an eternal cycle of renewal.<br/>In the above drawing, from a book by an early Alchemist, Cleopatra, the black half symbolises the Night, Earth, and the destructive force of nature, yin. the light half represents Day, Heaven, the generative, creative force, yang.</p>
<p><br/>Alchemically, the ouroboros is also used as a purifying glyph.<br/><br/></p>
<p>The current mathematical symbol for infinity - may be derived from a variant on the classic Ouroboros with the snake looped once before eating its own tail, and such depictions of the double loop as a snake eating its own tail are common today in fantasy art and fantasy literature, though other conjectures also exist.<br/><br/></p>
<p>It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting before any beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism and Hermeticism.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Showing itself primarily in ancient Gnostic texts, the Ouroboros is any image of a snake, worm, serpent, or dragon biting its own tail. Generally taking on a circular form, the symbol is representative of many broad concepts. Time, life continuity, completion, the repetition of history, the self-sufficiency of nature, and the rebirth of the Earth can all be seen within the circular boundaries of the Ouroboros.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Societies from throughout history have shaped the Ouroboros to fit their own beliefs and purposes. The image has been seen in ancient Egypt, Japan, India, utilized in Greek alchemic texts, European woodcuts, Native American Indian tribes, and by the Aztecs. It has, at times, been directly associated to such varying symbols as the Roman god Janus, the Chinese Ying Yang, and the Biblical serpent in the Garden of Eden.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There is truly little known about the deeper meaning of this symbol. Many see it as evil, others as a trap, or a curse. It is said that the re birthing cycle is a loop like this symbol, one that trap those entering in it in such a way that they will be in it for eternity.</p>
<p></p>
<p>There is no reason this symbol need to be a loop or trap in our lives. As we have entered into this system, and entered into the cycles of death and rebirth, so many of us has forgotten the true reasons we came here. To learn!!!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Each life we learn our lessons, when the time come we can leave the loop, yet very few leave it. As they have become trap in the loop of their existence.</p>
<p></p>
<p>It eats its tail that is feeding it to continue the cycle, but the question remain what are you feeding it? Are you feeding it negative or positive energy, this determine the effectiveness of the loop.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Many at this time desire a change, wanting to be rid of the loop as this cycle is no longer serving them. They have been searching for the answers in their lives, trying to find a way to break the loop.</p>
<p></p>
<p>They believe that the loop hold them captive away from what they feel they need, and that is a change in path. This time in this 26 000 year cycle mark a time of increased energy, that when utilised right, can help a soul change the fabric of his existence. Maybe not now, but in the next incarnation. This is a time of great opportunity.</p>
<p></p>
<p>At this time, it is each persons goal or purpose to break free from their current loop, so that they can reach higher, and change the path they are on.</p>
<p></p>
<p>How do you do this, is the question on many lips?</p>
<p></p>
<p>The snake is biting its own tail, it has the choice to bite or to let go. The way to break the loop is to let go of your fears. We as humans tend to fear what is not known, in this way the loop is known to us, letting go is the great unknown, something that strike fear into the hearts of many.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As time pass we start to believe that the loop is unchangeable, everything is existence is changeable at some point, why not the loop. They end up holding so tightly to their loop that they start to believe and despair that they cant leave it.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So they turn to find a saviour that will help save them from this evil loop that is keeping them captive. Yet, they do not realise that they are the only ones that can let go, in order for the snake to be set free for the loop, to create a new path, they can follow.</p>
<p></p>
<p>You are the only one keeping yourself captive in the place of existence you are in. All change start by letting go!</p>Usra and Anuden - The Snake and the Cat...tag:resistance2010.com,2011-09-13:3228704:BlogPost:2521012011-09-13T20:35:48.000ZAnushhttps://resistance2010.com/profile/Anush
<p>Ursa Slithered up to Anuden and kissed her.</p>

<p>"Why would you kiss me snake?" she ask.</p>
<p>"Because you are beautiful!" he answer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"I am just a cat, the cheetha has more beauty, Grace and speed." she answered.</p>
<p>"You are the cheetha Anu." she frowned</p>

<p>"You are the cheetha Anu." she frowned</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"No Usra I am... but a humble cat, there is nothing special about me." she sighed.</p>
<p>You are everything the Cheetha are and more to me." he pressed closer to her side.</p>
<p>"Look what is infront of you, dear friend." he wispered,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She lifted her head and a massive door filled her sight. "I see a door Usra."</p>
<p>"Look closer Anu and say hello." He wispered again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She frowned and looked closer, the door changed into a mirror showing her own reflection.</p>
<p>"All I see is me, Usra. A reflection of me."</p>
<p>"Look closer Anu... Look at what is infront of you." he said.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Anu, all your life you had given all you are to all that needed, with love and compassion. You gave of yourself so selflessly." he said.</p>
<p>She sighed deeply "Yes, that is have done.. but I do not see what you see."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"Look at what is infront of you... look closely." he gently pushed against her.</p>
<p>She growled and her tail twitched, "I still see my own reflection, looking back at me"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The snake softly kissed her forehead "Look again, selfless soul, look with your heart."</p>
<p>She closed her eyes, and opened her heart chakra, linking it with her 3rd eye. Her breathing steady and she felt herself relax.</p>
<p>Usra touched her ear... his voice changed "Open to the flow that is you, that are you, and that is within you and be all there is." She opened her eyes and looked at the door again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A shimmer rolled over the door, as if a shadow moved over a pond. Her image change to a pure ball of blue light, and understanding cleared her mind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>"All my life I served all with love and compassion, giving to all, every drop of who I am freely and without expecting anything in return. The only thing I ever asked for is that they be all they can be, within themselves. But I see now that I never showed myself the same love, understanding and compassion. I only saw the monster that is me. I never have loved who I am. This is what is infront of me. Someone perfect, that love with all she is, give all she is, someone that is beautiful."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tears ran from the cats eyes. "I see my own beauty, speed and grace. I have never been a monster, but a perfect me, that is all she can be within herself. Through giving all I am, I give all of my beauty, as well as my love and compassion. As I have love and compassion for me, I can give so much more, from so much deeper." She smiled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Usra's head bob up and down. "As you stand withing your own power and truth, your own beauty, you shine as reflection of all there is. The love and compassion you hold within, spills over and touch all there is that is in you from so much deeper. This Anu make you more powerful than you or anyone can ever imagine."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anuden, looked into Usra's eyes and she saw the truth of his words, it mirrored what he souls screamed, and she was to deaf and blind to see it. She love so much that it hurt, but she never have loved who she is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Usra bowed his head to her "Welcome home, Mother."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anuden kissed his head, tears still streaming down her furry cheeks. "How had I ever fell out of love for the one I am."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Usra smiled and kissed her again. "You are and always will be a reflection of all there is."</p>

Last night I decided that I really needed to get away, since my planed relax and recharge trip got canceled, because my mother, in her stubbornness refused to listen and followed her own healing strategy, that near got her killed. So she is in Hospital.<br />
<p> </p>
<p>(Damn I know someone else that also don’t listen and damn near got himself killed, sigh.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At least I have the common sense to know that you can’t drink certain medication together. I rarely get more than a sniffle…</p>
Last night I decided that I really needed to get away, since my planed relax and recharge trip got canceled, because my mother, in her stubbornness refused to listen and followed her own healing strategy, that near got her killed. So she is in Hospital.<br />
<p> </p>
<p>(Damn I know someone else that also don’t listen and damn near got himself killed, sigh.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At least I have the common sense to know that you can’t drink certain medication together. I rarely get more than a sniffle as I keep my spiritual and Emotional body in balance and cared for so that they DON’T affect my Physical as much. After taking all this time to heal myself by healing my emotional body, I am not planning on letting myself go down that road again. It took me a while to find that balance, and in the last 5 year I think I suffered 3 colds that lasted more than 4 days.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Normally at the slightest flutter of her heart I have to drive her to the Doctor all hours of the night, because she is dying. This time she was really sick so she kept popping pill after pill, without eating. When I got home she was burning up with fever, but NO she would not phone for help as she and my brother had a fight. So she was sulking. As I got there she could barely stand. So, she collapsed and I caught her in time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thing is her spirit body left, and as I placed her on the floor, I grabbed hold of that and pushed her back in her body. Stabilizing her energy, but I could not get her to wake up. So I focused on her ethereal body and made her get back in her body. After the 2<sup>nd</sup> shock went through her bodies she suddenly came back. I really looked strange, as you look at her body and see her spirit body at the same time, then suddenly they click back and you only see one person. Well if I was not used to such crap, I might have run screaming.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>She started repeating the exact same words she said before that happened; I had to shake her to get her back to full positive. My tone was very harsh, as I was not only speaking in body, but in soul as well. Hell I really was not being nice, but it snapped her back to consciousness. When something happen like that or an accident I react, very assertive, I don’t go all weak kneed and useless. Act first panic later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am NOT insensitive to her plight, but she does, the heart flutter and I am dying, thing way to often, especially when you oppose her. She would DEMAND that you do something NOW, then if you don’t drop everything immediately, she sulks and later I have to take her to the Doctor as she is dying.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong I love her and because of how she raised me, I am a very independent person. I can even service my own car, fix my radio, and use power tools. Though I still avoid a grinder, my small one is fine, but the large and mid size ones, I rather leave be as their vibrations affect me badly. There is not much that stops me from doing things I want to do, if I set my mind to it. If and when I set my mind to it, and if I do NOT want to do something, not much will MAKE me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I mean really! she is very close to 60 and I am 37 and not a kid anymore. I only moved back home since my brother got married and we decided that they should NOT live alone, clearly that is a wise decision, and I lost all I had after my Divorce. So I did not really mind, it suited me. It still does. Well enough of my dysfunctional family that I love very much, no matter how stupid they get, sometimes. Sigh. Some days I wonder who the parent is and who the child.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also through this past two weeks I had to listen to my guardians reminding me that I have a very large responsibility. That I am needed, I can’t NOT be charged and rearing to go. I have to buck up and take the blows like I always have. I am not allowed to get tired, since the work is important. Grrr!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elron kicked me and said I should stop acting stupid. Sensei gave me a beating with his staff, and said I should stop acting stupid, when I asked him why Elron called me Anuden, and what it had to do with the green amulet. So now I DO remember what it is about. I did not NEED a beating as the damn key word would have been enough. Then again stubbornness runs in my family, on both the spiritual and the physical planes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the sites near everything I said was upside down, making near everyone act unlike themselves. Even those I care for. In the end it just started draining my little reserves to the point that I wanted to really take a stick to someone, anyone. I was way past irritated and frustrated.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the past I would have gone hunting or provoked a fight. This time however, I just decided, it is NOT worth the effort. So, since reading all that was said, I realized who needs to be visited… I also had to find another way to get my Physical body to power up faster, so this does not happen again, as it happen every 6 to 8 months.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At that point last night I was rather FED UP so I decided I am really NOT in the mood to hear the words Love and Light at all. At this point it will make me PUKE, THROW UP, TOSS MY COOKIES, it really would. As most people have NO clue as to what the hell they mean when they use those words. Love/destruction – light /dark is the same fucking thing! It is only spelled different! For me there IS NO difference! So stop telling me that I am coming from Ego. I am coming from destruction and chaos, EGO is something way different!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, I entered the Lower planes the dark ones where all the BAD cooties are, that all the light and love would die of or have a heart attack about. Yes I went to visit the “Devil” of the bible. The biggest evil ever! He has many names, but I know him as Seth-tan, or Sethy as I fondly call him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>YES, I LOVE the DEVIL TOO! He is also a person, and he does not have COOTIES, though you have to have your mind about you if you do visit him, or you are in trouble.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I entered his home, it was really beautiful. The gardens, the butterflies, little bunny rabbits, hopping about. If you did not know this was “HELL” then you would think yourself in heaven. The dark realms are not all Fire and Brimstone! Wake up and smell the cooties, all of us have those cooties inside us.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I saw the first dark soul dressed in a red robe with a black tattoo on his face. I know him well; Sethy’s guardian and servant, Sorval. He bowed, “Welcome Anush, Seth is at the bathes. He is expecting you.” His smile is sneaky.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I frown “Yes I know he is expecting me, I got his damn message.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorval: “Well the only way he can get your attention is by using others, as you ignore him.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I sigh: “What is his problem? I am not in the mood for his games.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorval: “He has something of yours, and he want to return it, because he does not want to risk you coming for it, as he know that it is exactly what you will do. By the way I hoped you left Tentor home?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I looked confused: “Tentor?” Then it hit me. Well it made me laugh, really hard for the first time in 3 weeks. I really laughed from deep inside, it felt so good to release that tension.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sorval was clearly upset: “It is NO laughing matter; you of all people SHOULD remember that.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was still stuttering and trying to regain some measure of control, but one look at his upset face had me laughing again. Tears were running and I seriously could not regain any control for the next 10 min. I had to sit down on a bench. In my mind the whole scene came back like a movie clip, the reason Tentor and I am so greatly feared. Poor Sethy, the all powerful force of “evil” is scared shitless by a pink fluffy monster, a weakness he find embarrassing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soval was getting even more upset and angry: “Anush, you should not laugh like that, it is your fault and you know that. That day you beat Seth to a bloody pulp with your pink fluffy monster toy, nearly killing him, it scarred him for life. He was in intensive care for a week. If Dracus, Falamis and Sensei did not stop you by force, he would have been dead and not here today. It is NO laughing matter dammit!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I regained some measure of control: “Soval they should have let me finish the job then, but he has a purpose, so I am not allowed to kill him. Not even now! But it does not prevent me from harassing and torturing him for my own pleasure. He asked for that, and he got just what he asked for. And by the way I was 13 and he was 28. It is fucking embarrassing that a 13 year old slip of a girl, beat up a very strong force of dark, that she was not suppose to be able to do, with a pink fluffy monster toy. He was warned NOT to make me angry many times, and yet he pushed it way to far that day.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soval was fuming now and I was enjoying this immensely: “Dammit, ANUSH even at 13 you had the power to fuck up a PLANET! And you did! It is no joke; you had NO control back then!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was laughing again “Oh, Soval, he is alive is he not, and he is still alive. I also do have control now.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soval: “You do, but when you are tired like this, you are dangerous. But luckily you are not allowed to kill me and Seth.” </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled sneakily: “Yes I am not allowed to kill the 2 of you, BUT, I can still play with you and torture you when it pleases me. As I have said before, rather the enemy you do know than a new upstart! That is the only reason the 2 of you are still here. I know you two very well, so the arrangement suits me for now.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soval was red in the face now: “Fuckoff ANUSH! Some days I wonder who is the most evil us or you. Some days you can make all evil blush, in shame of the dark you carry!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I laughed: “No friend, I just know how to use my tools very well. Eons of practice, being the implement of torture to all things dark. As you, I also have my purpose. Being neutral and neither light nor Dark, allow me to be anything I choose to be. Either sides friend or worst nightmare.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I turned away from the fuming and very angry Soval and walked down the garden path in the direction of the bathes, my laughter echoing through the halls. Damn I love getting them upset.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the bathes, Sethy shuddered, and sank deeper into the mud bath. I found him there looking rather apprehensive.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I chuckled. “Well you called, what’s your problem!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I made myself comfortable on one of the deep and soft wicker chairs. What reassured Sethy was that I was NOT wearing armor. I was dressed in a very light slip dress, with spaghetti straps, that for me it is a very RARE indulgence. It was clear I was not there to fight. Though that can change in the wink of an eye.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He started to look more confidant, as Tentor was also nowhere to be seen, not that I need Tentor to beat Sethy up. The damn idiot really is still scared of a Stupid pink fluffy monster toy. I smiled and chuckled.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “For someone that is supposed to be the “Devil” many people fear; you really are a rather large whimpering fool.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Seth was angry instantly: “Fuck of ANUSH!” He hissed and I saw his eyes, change black.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Nice, now I might get a satisfying conversation!” I thought.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“What is this important that you could not just send me a message orb?” I asked frowning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy: “What’s the matter Little Avi, did I make all them little people hurt your feelings.” He said pouting. Sarcasm dripping off his words like honey.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled: “No, it just annoyed me even more. What do you want?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He got out of the mud bath, it looked funny and it caused me to snicker. “You still are so damn bothered with your looks. I have never seen anyone take so much pleasure in their own appearance.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy smiled sneakily and gave me a very good view, since he was not wearing anything, as he stood under a waterfall rinsing the mud from him, he got very suggestive: “Come now, does this beauty not give you any ideas? Does this not look better than that battle scared body of the hunky Zann?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No emotion showed on my face as it really did not affect me. I laughed: “I will admit beauty is as beauty go. You really pull of the perfect proportions and all that, but no, I really prefer that hunky battle scarred body. Thank you very much.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy cursed and wrapped an Egyptian type robe around him. “Aryan was right, you are an Ice Queen. You even resisted Archangel Gabriel, I do not know HOW you passed that test, as I would definitely love to ruffle his pretty feathers. In fact I would love to do the same to you…” He smiled lustily.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I threw back my head and laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. “You dear Sethy, will die with that wish in your heart like Aryan did. Come now stop playing your little games and get to the point.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy sighed: “You are always in such a hurry. Fine, I was asked to keep this for you, I also know that you need it, and as soon as you remember it, this damn thing would start calling to you. You will come and rearrange my pretty face, or worse (he shuddered) till I give it to you. I would really love to keep this pretty face and not reconstruct is AGAIN.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He walked over to a shorter pillar, touched it and a compartment opened. From the pillar a very bright light shone. Where I sat I felt the mystery object vibrate. Sethy was not looking well, as the object was not having a very great effect on him. So he stepped away, from it. “There, take the damn thing, its vibrations is affecting everything.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I stood up and looked into the compartment. Inside was a silver Rose. It was glowing rather brightly. I felt the power in that rose. So I reached in and picked it up. It felt like a real Rose, but it clearly was not. A Silver Rose is a powerful symbol for me, and I felt the power of this Silver Rose. I felt my soul react to it. Mmm.. I will look into this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went back to my chair and placed the rose on the table next to me. “Thank you, now there is another matter we need to discuss.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy frowned folded his arms and took a rather loud “Hell NO” stance: “It made me smile as this means that he would oppose me. Nice what I wanted.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I leaned back in the chair: “The last Quake in Japan was 7,4 this week. There are many that died. I was not personally there to supervise the collection of the souls of those that died. Some got stolen by your vultures. I want them back, now!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy smiled: “No, I stole them fair and square! If your minions are to slow I can take what I want. So NO I will keep these.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled the chess game is getting interesting: “Ok, so you believe this was fair to STEAL them. You can give them back the easy way or we can play this game. Your choice!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy smile lustily and I got exactly where he was heading, and smiled: “Well I have something you want, and you have something I would like to explore…”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I threw back my head and really laughed: “I don’t think you can hold on to them, all I have to do is call the souls, they will return, no matter what you do. Then again if I do that here, the souls of your minions will also come.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy smiled: “You are bluffing, as you would not ask me to give them back if you are able to.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I lifted an eyebrow: “Really, should we test that, or should I rearrange your pretty face again.” There was a very sneaky smile on my lips.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy know me well enough to realize I never bluff. He started squirming. I opened my hand and a shadowy picture of Tentor shimmered there like a heat wave.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sethy started pacing and cursing “You NEVER play fair, dammit!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled: “Neither do you, Sethy darling, neither do you!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He stopped and glared at me, “One day I will find your weakness and I will have a field day with it.” He opened his hand and a dark orb appeared in his right hand. He tossed it to me “Fine you win, I just healed from our last “discussion” I want to look pretty for a bit. So take your stupid little souls and fuck of.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled as I caught the orb. He turned away and started to walk away.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Hold on there for a minute, there is 9 not here”, in 2 strides I was in front of him, stone faced. “GIVE THEM BACK!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“There is NO MORE! You can’t possibly know there are some not there.” He hissed and glared at me and it became a staring competition.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I DO, know! GIVE THEM BACK or ELSE….!” I hissed back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“You Fucking little Bitch, I hate you bitterly, I really do!” and he handed me another black orb.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I reached up and patted his cheek! “Well said friend well said.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then I turned walked to chair, picked up the Rose, and opened a portal. Before I went through it I blew him a kiss, making him curse even more!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was laughing and as the portal closed my laughter echoed in his garden, making him scream in frustration.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Exiting the portal back in my garden, I found Sensei and Archangel Gabriel talking together.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I saw him, I could not help it, I started laughing again, and I mean really laugh. Everyone looked at me rather surprised. When I finally got some measure of control, I made a chair and sat down. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elron placed a hand on my brow, frowning. “Avi, are you sick or something?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“No…” I stuttered “I’m fine. Can you please get me some Sentir Tea. I think I need it to cleanse the Sethy effect from my system.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elron “Clearly you enjoyed your visit.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I sputtered “Yes, I actually did.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensei and Gabriel came over and I made them chairs, the Fairy Queen came and joined us, and one of the other fairies served them with Honey wine.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensei: “What in the world was this funny?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled again, “Oh it really is nice visiting with dear old Sethy. He was really fantastic today. Though I don’t think Gabriel would have enjoyed it.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gabriel frowned, “What does this have to do with me?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The rest was also confused; I accepted the tea from Ellie, sipped a few times before setting it on the table next to me.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Well, he tried to seduce me, and when I resisted said Aryan was right I am an Ice Queen, I even resisted Gabriel, in that test. He wanted to know how I was able to do that as he would definitely love to ruffle Gabriel’s pretty feathers.” I started laughing and all the others also did, but poor Gabriel looked highly disgusted!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He started stuttering “But… wha… NOOOO that is just SICK!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I leaned over and patted his arm, “Don’t worry so much Gabriel you know what Sethy is like…”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gabriel started laughing: “You know, I think it is time to have a little chat with our friend. I have not done that in a long time. I guess it is time!” He started laughing again “Do you know how repulsive that is, him ruffling my feathers. Heaven help us all!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All of us laughed about it long and hard.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensei looked at me: “The visit did you good, child, you are more relaxed and your energy is rising very fast.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I sighed “Yes, I do feel better, though Sethy gave me this. If I remember correctly this is the Ancient Rose of Tentali, the planet where I made that amulet and my snakes. Ellie will you please get them for me, I think merging them will give me the amulet I need to help prevent me from getting this tired.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensei smiled softly, “See beating you with my staff did knock those memories free.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I frowned “I would have remembered, you did not have to hit me that hard you know.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He smiled, “Yes I did.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I sighed and took the objects from Elron and place them on the table.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“Now I will rest, and then I will make that new amulet.” I sighed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We spend a while talking together, and I eventually fell asleep at 5am this morning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess the DARK cooties were just what I needed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good old Sethy, I can always count on him to cheer me up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It seems I need to spend more time with Zann. Sethy will always tempt you with stuff that you need to work on and the seducing bit is rather clear that Zann and I need to spend more time working on our relationship. We both work too hard, and we neglect to really sit down and just talk. Zann always want to speak of the future, after ascension, but I can’t bring myself to plan a future, since I never have. It upset Zann very much at times.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have lived in the moment surviving each day, I find planning a future rather stupid. As in my life NOTHING happen as I have planned it, it never does. So why set yourself up for heart ache. Some days I do let my mind wonder over the possibilities of a future, but I dismiss them fast, they just cause yearning, yearning for things makes you miserable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If we can actually pull ascension off, I would plan a future with Zann, but until then, we will live each day, as it comes.</p>
<p> </p>When Spiritual power training go horribly wrong!tag:resistance2010.com,2011-04-04:3228704:BlogPost:1550392011-04-04T19:34:50.000ZAnushhttps://resistance2010.com/profile/Anush
<p> </p>
<p>A while back I accessed a new ability. So I decided it is time to go practice. Reiz (a friend in the Physical that also train like me) is always ranting at me for not paying attention to how my abilities work. I sighed, fine so maybe that is not such a bad idea after all. Maybe I should let my abilities, just go, and not try so hard to suppress them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Holy crap! That was something different. I did not expect what happened!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On my spiritual body I…</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A while back I accessed a new ability. So I decided it is time to go practice. Reiz (a friend in the Physical that also train like me) is always ranting at me for not paying attention to how my abilities work. I sighed, fine so maybe that is not such a bad idea after all. Maybe I should let my abilities, just go, and not try so hard to suppress them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Holy crap! That was something different. I did not expect what happened!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On my spiritual body I found that suddenly I have signs like siggles , symbols and runes, that shines blue, and my eyes turn shiny blue, with a light that shine from them! Right! Now I know what to do with that! I just took the elements to a whole new level, never used them in quite that way!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well I decided to go blow off a little steam! Knowing the extent I sometimes go to, I have created a place empty and desolate and far away. I do not want to risk hurting someone. I made this world, to be barren and empty. Nothing grow there. I go there to think or to practice new abilities.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I decided that I will play with the elements as they always seem to calm me down.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I made 4 towers out of the elements like before, but around me. Then I focused on stillness, inside. Inside was everything but still. My eyes were closed, and I visualized a pool of water, but it was vibrating, making small ripples. So I stabilized it calmed the pond until it was glass still. Then I pulled the 4 elements together and started merging them around me, mixing them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I felt the power increase, I felt it build, then the next minute I opened my eyes and the symbols ignited blue, then it slipped from me and created one hell of an explosion. From where I stood grooves were carved into the soil and there were fires burning here and there. My face, priceless! Crap that was cool! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “Holy fucking hell, what the hell was that! This has potential. Mmmm… I need to change the control, let it be less wild and more focused.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Next minute I was not so happy, to the left a heap of ground moved and Dracion emerged shaking himself down. “What the hell did you just do, you nearly killed me!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was upset, and I well, I was not so well. When the hell did he sneak up, I was so focused to get the pond quiet I did not hear him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “Why the hell, were you here, I did say I was going to train! You fucking know how I train, it is dam dangerous!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Coughing from the right, had me looking there, Elron emerged from a ditch, his face black and his hair singed. “Fucking hell, Anush! Do you really want to kill us!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “Where the hell did you come from!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I heard rocks move behind me. Sensay: “Fucking hell Anush what the fuck did you just do! You nearly fucking killed us all.” Well, I have never heard him speak like that, my face were in total shock.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “But… But… where the hell did you come from!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay was angry: “Fuck Anush we were not here, we were watching, from an upper level, to be out of the way! You, blasted us right out of that fucking level destroying it completely. How the fucking hell did you just do that!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “I did what? Blast you right out of another level? Holy crap!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay were coming closer, Elron was rubbing at his face and hair, Dracion was spitting gravel. They were not happy at all. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well at this point I was relieved that they were OK, but the image of what just happened was so damn funny that I ended up laughing until the tears flowed. it looked comical.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then Sensay were really looking at me again. He grabbed my hand, and looked into my eyes! “You evolved again, how the hell, did this happen!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I looked over his shoulder “Ask them!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kalnarh, Veridiah and Soriam was walking up, shaking dust from their hair and clothes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay turned and looked at them, fists resting on his hips. “So, this is your doing!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kalnarh: “Well, your way of training was not helping, it was too slow. Even Reiz and his Avatar was to gentle!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay: “You fucking idiot, you could have killed us all, messing with her like that!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kalnarh: “We did not mess, we showed her who she was, and she did the rest. She was ready a long time ago, but you wanted her to find it. I do think you are going senile. You know she has memory loss, sometimes a jolt in the right direction gets more done like now! How long have you been trying to get her to access her this abilities?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me; “Hey, the SHE is standing right here, you bunch of old men!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well that got their attention!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elron “I wonder who the old one around here is!” He was really angry with me!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kalnarh: “I am sorry Anush, we did not mean to push you this hard, but time is of the essence. We need you ready and up to full power before Ascension hit, which is not far anymore!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “I have heard that from 2000 and we are still waiting! I also want my power back, and actually remember to use it, I was rather frustrated, that I keep trying to use things, but I kept feeling something is missing! Most of my power is there, but I have tried to do the things Reiz insisted on, but I just could not get my body to cooperate.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay: “Do you think you can do that again?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “Sensay that is a rather stupid question! Now I know how!”</p>
<p>Sensay: “Don’t change it, use it just like that”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kalnarh: “Change it if you can!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They were glaring at each other! Good grief, this was bringing back memories, of the same training story when I was so young! These two competing, and me trying to please them both!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “Hey you two old men, you forgot one thing! If I do this again, I am increasing the power, and then I will blast you to kingdom come! You better do something about that.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They moved back and they made a very strong bubble for them. I was smiling, do they really think that bubble will hold.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “That is not strong enough, increase the power of the shield!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay complied.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: "That is still to weak!"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kal: "Anush this is fine!"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I shruged, have it your way, I thought</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I moved further away. I stood there calmly and repeated the process. 4 pillars of elements. Then I started pulling them closer, wrapping them around me, and merging them together! Then I changed it. I opened my heart chakra, added, love, my male and female side, Etherine and the soul cleansing power. I slowly merged all of that together with the elements. Then I stabilized the power, calming the vibrations until the pond is as still as glass again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then I started slowly increasing the power! The tornado raging around me intensified, you could see the multi colors of the soul cleansing, the blue white light and then I opened my eyes and the Blue pattern started to glow brighter and brighter. When I felt the power increase to the level where it almost started to burn against my skin, I threw my arms out, and the explosion were even larger than the first, more controlled, more stable, more devastation.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was smiling, now this is something useful!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As the dust settled, the lot of them came walking over to me, coughing and sputtering.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elron was shouting at me “Anush, you really are intent on killing us today!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me: “Hey I did say increase the shield!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay “Well we did not expect that amount of force!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kalnarh: “Well, I will say well done, now you just have to remember the other powers. Hell that packed a punch!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Soriam: “I am going to have trouble hearing for a few hours, hell that was not fun!”</p>
<p>Me: “Well you wanted me to do that! I did warn you!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Veridiah: “Anush, you really are just like the legend about you! So, wonderful!” She sighed!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I looked at her if she just went nuts, “I think you must have hit your head in the blast, you better have that looked at.” Dam I was uncomfortable. Elder Veridiah always get me very uncomfortable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay realized that this hero’s worship of this girl was really getting to me! He thought it was very funny! I did not!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Elron “Anush can you do that on a smaller scale, like the water blades?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me “Yes, how small?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He “Medium size! Almost like the ball before you made the blade.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me “OK!” The others looked closely. I made 4 smaller pillars on my palms and combined it into a ball, added Etherine, love and the Soul power. The ball changed all sorts of colors. My eyes changed, and the symbols ignited. I looked at the heap of rocks Elron stacked, and released the ball.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At the same time I made a shield to cover us, and the others were kind of thankful for that, as the heap of rocks exploded into gravel.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay: “You already have this much control!” He was rather surprised.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Me “Well Sensay, when Reiz got angry with me for not wanting him to help me a few hours back, he shook me till my teeth rattled, and his avatar ripped my last little bit of control on that part of me. So I activated right there. It took all my strength to return to me. This is why I came here to see if I can get some sort of control.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kalnarh “Well there is hope yet! We will have to push harder.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensay: “Over my dead body!”</p>
<p>Kalnarh “That can be arranged!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I looked at them, astonished, it is as if I was young again, watching these to fight about my training, “You two better stop pushing me this hard, I can barely keep up. I still have to function in the world as well, remember that!”</p>
<p> </p>

<p>There is so much we dont understand of the spiritual vs the physical that sometimes it can make you scratch your head going, “How the HELL did I just do that!” Even me that has really done some pretty strange stuff, still sometimes do something, totaly unexpected and totally surprize myself. Not freak out, I dont get freaked out by this stuff anymore. I find it really COOL!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yes, fine, the Parrot does freak me out, but for a totaly different reason. Stupid bird! OK fine…</p>
<p>There is so much we dont understand of the spiritual vs the physical that sometimes it can make you scratch your head going, “How the HELL did I just do that!” Even me that has really done some pretty strange stuff, still sometimes do something, totaly unexpected and totally surprize myself.

<p> </p>
<p>Yes, fine, the Parrot does freak me out, but for a totaly different reason. Stupid bird! OK fine spiders too. I refuse to be in the same room as a spider, period! I don’t care that I am bigger than the spider… Let’s get back to the point.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now, I have done much in the spiritual, as well in the physical, but NOTHING prepared me for what I did last week. I still run over this event in my mind removing the memory from my mind and looking at it from all angles. Something I would not previously have done, as it did not matter, I did something new. Yet Reiz kept nagging me about how, why. THINK, don’t just do. I have always accepted the things I do, without really questioning it, fact is I did something cool. How I did it, who freaken cares, it felt right, I did it, what more do you need. So now I still feel and do, and then I think and analise. LOL close enough. I never strategize or plan stuff like this, I just get the inspiration and let it rip. Repeating that on call, not likely.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, as I was reading the energy I used and viewing it from all angles, the only conclusion I came UP with is that at the exact right moment I managed to break through the veil at a moment it started to make a random tear. Maybe, or I influenced the veil strongly enough to make that happen. I am able to push my spirit body through the veil, but not very far, it could also be that I really did get out for a little time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We know the veil is thinning, sometimes it get really thin in places, so it could be that at that moment when I was actually trying something else, the veil thinned enough for me to achieve what I did. Maybe!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>OK I will get to the point, let me explain the event:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A friend and I were having a silly conversation about the assasination of cupid! Hey he had that comming! (Don’t worry Cupid is fine!)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were laughing and joking about what cupid did to us, just being really silly. Well, then he said that he rarely have good dreams as things just chase him around and he was rather fed-up with that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now I have managed to give people dreams, or visit them in their dreams. See the blog Being a dream Director. So that particular morning I had a really quiet time at work and I knew he would be sleeping now as he is in a different time zone. So in the spur of the moment I decided I will surprise him and pull his spiritual body out and take him on a small adventure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have done this before so I did not really worry about it. Sometimes people co-operate and sometimes they don’t. This results in the fact, that sometimes you do get them out of their bodies on an adventure, and sometimes not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hey I am bored lately, give me a break, I don’t have things to hunt anymore and those left to hunt run screaming by the mere shimmer of energy. I hate that! Even Seth-tan is a bore lately. Flying full speed through the tunnel system to Agartha is also rather boring at this time; I have done it to many times now. Yet it still makes me laugh when I remember Reiz’s face. We did nearly take down a friendly spaceship, but hey in Dragon form I have great maneuverability! Crap did Reiz shout at me that time. Oh that was good. Well that is another sorry let’s get back to the point.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I sat down took the phone of the hook, as I only planned to be away for 15 min at the most. I stilled my mind and wrapped my aura very close around me, letting my spirit body take over completely. I felt my energy rise, my skin started tingling with heat and a burning sensation started from my heart chakra, through my chest, over my body and down my arms. Now I dont mind pain, this was not really painful, just uncomfortable. Slowly I focused on finding my friends energy, and slipped down into his room. I stood before his bed, my back to the door. To my left was a night stand with odss and ends on, one being a cellphone. To the right was furniture, I did not pay attention to that, I did see a chair and a table and something larger. There was a window on the other side of the bed, not a very large window. I did not pay real close attention as I drew my focus back to the bed, where my friend was. He stirred and turned on his back. I placed my left hand on his upper arm, the right one that was the closest to me. Letting my hand merge with his body and I took hold of his spirit body. Then gently I started pulling at it in a gentle upwards motion.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now this is where the trouble started. As I lifted him I felt his body come along, so I placed my right hand on his hip and gently pushed his body down. But NO, his spirit was not budging. I thought, WTF, why is his body not releasing. So I started pulling harder, pulling more energy down to my spirit body, focusing the energy, nothing! Then I pulled in more, but still nothing. I realized that he was resisting, so I increased a feeling of love and harmony to let him relax, when he relax I will be able to lift him out.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was pulling on his arm, at that point his upper body was lifting, and I decided this was not working. At the same moment he started to wake up and really started fighting me. Finally he said “Leave me the fuck alone!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I smiled and let go. He looked around the room shruged, turned around, getting comfy and drifted of to sleep.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I left, as I didn’t want to freak him out completely, and made a mental note to try it differently. Rather wait, for him to be in a dream, and take him from there, so I returned and got back to work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That evening we had a conversations and I asked him if he had a nice dream.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He answered: “To answer your question, no I did not have a dream that left me all happy. But during the early morning someone tried to pick me up while I was sleeping. It pulled hard on my arm to pull me up, and when I opened my eyes I was sitting half way upright on my bed. Now that is what I call Freaky @#$T! haha.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I started laughing, Oh HELL, so he remembered that, he were really awake! Crap.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I told him that I was trying to take his spirit body with me to give him an adventure, but that it would not budge and when he told me to leave him the fuck alone, I did.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He thought it was really funny and asked that if I want to do that again, he will know it is me, so he will not fight, as he do not trust anyone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He said “Well you are really strong as I have never fought so hard against anyone in my life, my back is a bit stiff this mornning... Thanx a lot! LOL Well it did freak me out a little, but not a lot”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I laughed: “Well I am really sorry as I never plan these things it just happen. I wanted to give you a nice dream and ended up giving you a wrestling match. I am really sorry. Sheesh, this is something all new. Ok I will try again, but gentle this time. I have a small request. Would you mind explaining exactly what you remembered, saw, felt or experienced in detail? I need to know what I did different.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He said : “Well my Dear I'm gonna try to explain this to you as best as I can without sounding too much like an idiot or lunatic......deal?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“I never saw anything but felt an awesome presence about me, it was all around me, sort of surrounding me on all sides above and below as well. I remember feeling a strong pull on my upper body, especially on my right arm just above the elbow, it was a strong pull because I distinctly recall my physical body being roughly jerked a couple times and I thought I was being possessed cos it was doing things that it's never done before, sort of involuntary levitation if you know what I mean, I was fighting hard to stay in me bed but whatever was pulling on me had me more than half-way upright and all this while I was still either half asleep or half awake. I was like a side-line spectator watching and feeling what's going on with me before my conscious mind kicked in and I dug my heels in so to speak and decided enough is enough and this is when I woke up, only to find myself half way out of the bed and this is when I realised that what was happening wasn't a dream, it was in fact quite real.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“All I can honestly say is that I have never ever experienced anything quite like it in all my life and the presence that was with me in the room that night was very very strong indeed, although I must admit as well that at no point did I feel threatened or intimidated by it, I just felt an awesome presence of being, it kinda filled the whole room, meaning that if I wanted to move left or right I wouldn't be able to cos the entire room was occupied by this presence, sort of like a huge bubble pushing on you and just getting bigger. I know this probably doesn't make much sense to you but I'm trying to explain it as best I can as this has never happened to me before, not in such a physical manner anyway. PLease let me know if this has helped you or just plain confused you.”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well frankly what he explained made perfect sense. HOLY CRAP!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was speachless, and excited at the same time! Finaly I have proof, that I can do it! Reproduce it maybe not.<br/> <br/> I said “You have NO idea how much sense that actually do make. Great scott! A few people that I know that is sensitive to the Spiritual Realms, told me that if I walk into a room I seem to fill the room. I never understood quite what they meant. Now I do. This is in the Physical. The fact that I was physically lifting you would explain that presence.<br/> <br/> I used a lot of energy to pull you spirit body out, and when you fought me and told me to leave you the fuck alone, I realized I woke you up. I need to replay this in my mind and reread the energies and the event to really see what exactly happened. This is COOL! I wonder if I will be able to do that again.” <br/> <br/> “There is nothing I have not seen that will make me freak out. Ok except a spider. The things I have seen and experienced, Nothing you just said is NOT understandable. You know what, I just thought about you and checked my mail, and there this mail is. Fact is I have been fighting to bring my power in the spiritual down into my physical body; I might actually have succeeded for that fraction of time. Now I will have to step up training. At this point I could kiss you! So if I try again fight me again. I wonder if I will be able to recreate this.”<br/> <br/> He said “Like I said the presence I felt in the room was awesome, all encompassing, nowhere to move where the presence wouldn't be, it was everywhere but in a non threatening way, like a BIG bubble just getting bigger the whole time. It felt like I was being squeezed from all sides at once, pressure from all around my body and not in a painful way.....difficult to describe it exactly, kinda like being pushed and pulled at the same time, weird I know but as I said, it's like nothing I've ever experienced before.”</p>
<p>I said: “The funny bit was that the more you resisted the more energy I pulled around me to pull you free from your body. The more you would not budge. I do that, and then I use calming and warm energy non threatening as I know how much it can freak people out.”<br/> <br/> He said ‘Let the training commence. I have NO doubt that you'd be well able to recreate this again. I'm a stubborn Taurus what can I say, resistance comes easy for me, digging my heels in and throwing off the yoke. I appreciate the invitation to try some things, but to be brutally honest with you, I have NO idea absolutely none on how to even begin doing such things......real pity though as I would love to give it a go.”</p>
<p>Well I am still working on how the HELL I did that. At this point I have loads of theories and I have tried again, without any success. I have done the Etheric operation on Reiz two times. Moved objects with my spiritual body in the physical. Yet I can’t reproduce it on call. It happens in a moment. In that moment the elements come together and strange things happen, but when I focus on it, NOTHING.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When I try to recreate it again, NOTHING happen. SO IT IS FRUSTRATING at best.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not you can believe this or not, but I will say this, this is the third person I have shared an experience with. With Rea, I shared a few dreams. I have visited others a few times. With Reiz, I shared a hell of a lot, and with my last friend that I do not know very long this event. And don’t forget Dracus, which I have shared so much more in the Physical with, but nothing like this.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now call me crazy, but if that’s not proof enough that the spiritual are actually REAL! Then I don’t know what else, or maybe it is only in my insane mind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> As you see I did not add my last friends name, as I feel his Identity is his own. If he want to be known, he will say so himself.</p>“Alchemy” of the Soul - Part 1 - Magick and the 15 tests of the soul!tag:resistance2010.com,2011-02-22:3228704:BlogPost:1359722011-02-22T19:26:05.000ZAnushhttps://resistance2010.com/profile/Anush

As we get Wicca, Christianity, etc. Magick is a religion in its own right. Most religions ban magick as evil and have severe penalties, either now, in the eternal, or both for practitioners of any form of magick, but to live a magical life, you have to treat it like part of who you are. It is most effective when you truly believe in yourself and what you are doing.<br/> <br/> Magick is but a tool; it is not good / positive or evil / negative. All magick are neutral. The nature of the user is what determines the outcome or the use of this very useful tool, not the Magick itself. Some users like to be more aggressive in the use of their magick by attacking their enemies, or a friend's enemies. Other users use their magic to protect or shield themselves and their friends from their enemies.<br/> <br/> A majority of users focus on just one line of magick, and they abandon the others as it does not catch their fancy. Some abandon the idea of combative magic all together and rather focus on enchantments to help lighten the burden on the lives of those they know, such as blessings and prosperity spells, etc.<br/> <br/> Here are some of the major classes of magick <br/> <br/> White Magician - Expert of Protective and Healing Spells. <br/> Black Magician - Expert of Destructive Spells. <br/> Mage - Expert at Psychic and Mental Control, and Spells of Willpower. <br/> Druid / Shaman - Masters of Nature, Natural Forces and Animals. <br/> Enchanter - Experts at Area Effect Magic (Curses/Blessings). <br/> Divination - Experts of Future and Fortune telling. <br/> Conjurer - Experts at Summoning Spirits or Entities. <br/> Healer - Experts at Manipulating and Sustaining Life Force. <br/> Necromancer - Experts at Manipulating Death and the Dead (souls). <br/> Sorcerer - Freelance Offensive Casters of All Types; Mainly focused on black magic. <br/> Wizard - Freelance Defensive Casters of All Types; Mainly focused on white magic. <br/> Priest - Calls on God to defend them and to work with their situation as necessary (Christian Magick). <br/> Satanist - Calls on Satan to indulge their desires.<br/> <br/> Then you get what is called the Master or Arthan. This person has learned and mastered all of the above, and has also learned the largest secret of all magick. Greater Wisdom!<br/> <br/> As users we all strive to achieve something, a desire that is within ourselves and by doing so there are certain rules that must be adhered to. Like in anything in life rules are the backbone of everything. Only those that have reached the Master or Arthan status can to some extent bend these rules, to achieve so much more.<br/> <br/> The most important thing all users must remember is that, every action in magick has a reaction, especially on Karmic dept as well as your soul. In harming others for what ever reason, you are adding to your karmic dept as well as taking life force from your soul. So, in essence “Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself!” This little phrase has a world of meaning.<br/> <br/> Here are 15 ground rules / tests that every user should first master before the use of any magick. It teaches extreme values as backbone and corner stone for a user to become all they can be.<br/> <br/> 1. Power<br/> <br/> This is the first and most important test for every user. This lesson is all about, either not owning enough power, or letting all that power go to your head. This is Personal Power the first and most important key to mental health and spiritual growth. By owning our own power all the time in a considerate way by never faltering you achieve self-mastery over your energies and in that way you become powerful in yourself, without giving your power away to others or your subconscious mind, negative ego, inner child, thoughts, emotions desires and physical body. In the end owning your personal power, allows you to be comfortable in whom you are, without forcing that power onto others. An example of this is “I am this good and you will never be as good as I am” this is an example of forcing your power onto another. When you can acknowledge your power without down playing others that show that you have learned that lesson well. Power is to be used with great responsibility, and respect. <br/> <br/> 2. Fame<br/> <br/> The next great test for the users is Fame. The first 3 tests are the hardest to master and they are so interconnected that through mastering one, you will be able to master all three. The question here is what happens to the personality of the users when fame and worldly recognition is achieved? How does this change your personality? Do you start looking down on others, treating them like lowly beings? Does the fame go to your head and inflate your ego? Do the fame allow for an opening for the negative ego? Or do you use this fame for self glory or as an opportunity to be of greater service to the greater good of mankind?<br/> <br/> The problem with the Earth life is that people who move into fame are not at all prepared for the mental effect this has on them. This also applied for many spiritual leaders as well. They are often highly developed spiritually or physically, but mentally they have very little control over the negative ego, inner child, body desires, emotional body, etc. Just look at King David, as well as King Solomon. They achieved all that could be desired, but in the end their desires, was their downfall. The key with all these tests is to remain exactly the same as you were before power, money and fame arrived in your life. These blessings by the Almighty should be used for His purposes, knowing that they are on loan to you and if you abuse or misuse them, they will be taken away. We are all here in service of the Almighty, and the greater good of all, not our own desires.<br/> <br/> 3. Money<br/> <br/> This test is one so many fail, the power of Money / mula or as it is mostly called Mammon. The key question to all users is which do you worship, Mammon a lesser demi god or the Almighty. The Almighty must always be first and these lesser demi gods thereafter. My question to you are how attractive is money to you? It amazes me to see users who are very much in possession of the Christ Consciousness, change to really offensive people, the moment money are involved in any issue. It is as if they are this Christ Consciousness as long as you are paying them a client fee. This is not true spiritually.<br/> <br/> What happen to you when someone rips you off over money? How do you respond? I am not saying money is not important, I am asking HOW important? If all your money and material possessions are stripped away NOW, how would you respond? Would you retain your faith and who you were before that?<br/> <br/> How does your personality change when you suddenly receive large sums on money? Will you still treat people in the same loving manner you always have? Will you still care about those less fortunate and share your luck with others? If you don’t then the negative ego’s interpretation of money has a hold on you.<br/> <br/> The Almighty wants everybody to have an abundant amount of money. It is not good to be poor, being poor is the product of negative ego poverty consciousness programming. There is no judgment in being poor. What does having a lot of money do to your personality? How does this interlock with the issue of power? You will pass or fail on the spiritual path with this kind of issues.<br/> <br/> In the end we are taught this lesson, by being put in these kinds of situations in our lives. Loosing everything you have and hold dear. How you handle that, how it matter to you and how it change you. You must be the same person with or without millions. If you can master this lesson, it takes you up another step on your path to a better person or user as well as your spiritual path.<br/> <br/> 4. Sexuality<br/> <br/> The next test is Sexuality, a word that gets many people to take an involuntary step back! Are you the master of your sexuality or is it the master of you? Does the flow of your sexuality serve the lower self or the higher self? Area you moderate in your sexual practices? Does your sexuality serve love and intimacy or just materialistic animal pleasure? Does your sexuality serve just a selfish purpose, or a selfless purpose? Is your sexuality being used also for the raising of your kundalini and brain illumination or just for a second chakra release?”<br/> <br/> These very brutal questions are questions all users HAVE to ask themselves with absolute brutal honesty. There is no shame in being slightly misused, but by becoming aware of this helps you adjust the imbalance. Life is all about making continual adjustments to who we are and how we act, and constantly bringing ourselves back to inner peace and the appropriate Tao.<br/> <br/> Sexuality is a wonderful thing that was made to be enjoyed as a communication device in service of love, and it is not bad. It however becomes negative when it is used by the lower self, or carnal self or the negative ego, just to satisfy a desire. Use your sexuality in the service of the Higher Self, and life, and then it becomes a most sacred consecration. One of the greatest tests of the spiritual path in regards sexuality comes when you achieve power, money and fame. How do you then deal with your sexuality? I have seen so many great spiritual leaders fall when they were confronted by this lesson, again, just look at King David and King Solomon. They abused their power to get sex from another’s wife and it does not stop there. In the end, this key also has to be used with great respect towards yourself and others.<br/> <br/> As well as the use of Sex Magick, this alone should be handled with immense respect, if this is treated lightly, your karma dept can become severe. What very few people realize is that Sex Magick is not a pleasurable toy, in the right hands it can bind your soul to another, or kill you. When an inexperienced user gets tangled with someone with great skill, that person can take from you what ever they wish, and you would be helpless to prevent it. They can take all the good karma you have in exchange for their bad Karma, or they can take your very soul. This is very hard words to hear, but very true. All magick needs to be treated with great respect towards yourself and others, as in the end using it badly, will result in a very large karma dept.<br/> <br/> 5. Desire<br/> <br/> The transcendence of desire, this is the next lesson we look at. This key is a very confusing step on the ladder of all users and the spiritual path. The meaning is that we must transcend our lower self desires, for it is the largest of all negative ego qualities. All lower self desires should be transformed into higher self desires. These issues cause a very large confusion and in the end the users block all desires. It is good to have a desire to ascend to achieve liberation or to be of service. Transform lower self desire for GOD-realization, this is the ticket to paradise. <br/> <br/> 6. Attachment<br/> <br/> For us to achieve Self-realization, happiness, inner peace and success we must release all addictions and attachments. Buddha said a very true thing “All suffering comes from attachment.” When we look at our lives it is amazing to see all the things we get attached to. The negative emotions we experience can be directly linked to attachments of one form or the other. All failed relationships can be traced to attachments. To pass this part of the 15 tests we must live in this world, but not be off this world. Do that make sense at all, yes very much. We must live here, as if this is not really where we belong. We must be able to leave at the drop of the hat, without, regret, without longing for our time here and without regrets of everyone and everything we have left behind. We must achieve our dreams and goals or preferences with all our heart, soul, mind and will, but when you do not get them you must still be happy without it. <br/> <br/> When it comes to the matter of love, releasing what you love allowing it to be with you in its own completeness, if it moves on, then it was only meant to be with you for a time, helping you with a lesson. This is the law of life. The things you cling the most desperately to will always be the things you will lose. This is also the key principal in understanding the laws of manifestation.<br/> <br/> Whatever are your attachments in this life, people, material things, future events, sex, money, no matter what, releasing the attachment is the first step. Other go so far as to completely detach from everything without preferences, this however is not good either for they then detach from life, so they can’t experience the lessons they need to learn. The key is to be happy, have inner peace and be in complete harmony and balance, regardless of what happens in our lived, by fighting who we are, and our lives we make it harder than it needs to be.<br/> <br/> 7. Transcending Fear<br/> <br/> This lesson is almost more important than power, as this one word describes the effect of the negative ego on us, FEAR! There are 2 very large and main emotions in our lives LOVE and FEAR! One is Positive and one negative. It is interesting to see how these two little four letter words can cause havoc in our lives. All emotions we experience have these 2 little words as a core element. To understand fear is to see it in a projected attack. When we attack others we live and act in fear by the Law of Karma, operating thought our lives. Here is where every action we do, incur a reaction. If the action is in love the reaction will be in love, yet if the action is in fear, the reaction will be in fear. Just remember, all reactions always return to you in three fold. The law of Karma, what you sow, you shall reap!<br/> <br/> The greatest lesson a user can ever learn is to release all core fear and to replace it with core love. As you release the fear inside yourself you release the transcended negative ego consciousness, by releasing that fear it ties to having faith in the Almighty and yourself.<br/> <br/> There is absolutely no lesson in life or in our spiritual path that is more important and rewarding than transcending negative ego consciousness and replacing it with positive or GOD-Consciousness! <br/> <br/> In our lives and on our path to spiritual beings, FEAR is the only thing the darkness can use to control you and keep you from being all you are! FEAR is the only thing that keep us imprisoned in our own minds!<br/> <br/> 8. Selfishness<br/> <br/> This part of the test it to transcend selfishness and self-centeredness to total unselfish love. We must learn to remove our own selfish glasses, and see the bigger picture out there! Embrace the opposite of selfishness which is selflessness in helping others. When you can truly and selflessly step out of your own perception and life and truly help another, without expecting anything in return, not even a thank you! This is when you have reached true spiritual mastery over this. If you are on your way to a meeting, and you are already a little late, will you help someone that is in distress? This is where selflessness comes in. When you as user see the NEED, your first call has to be help this person. At that point it is the only thing that matters, that persons needs, not your own. You were the angel send to help that person in need. Will you fail?<br/> <br/> The true Master consciousness sees everything inside themselves in total balance and harmony without one part being more than the other. They also see that the greater good are selflessly served by each and every one of us.<br/> <br/> 9. False Pride<br/> <br/> In the bible there is this powerful little verse “After pride cometh the fall!” This test blends between the first 3 tests and are equally important. Do you fill yourself with self glorification? I have seen so many users out there that have this self glorification tattooed on their fore heads. Oh you can’t teach them anything, they know everything. That is false pride and incredibly dangerous and we as users have to be very careful to keep this matter in hand. There is no such thing as a greater or lesser user; some of us are stronger or more advanced on one element while others are stronger on another. That does not make them less than you! If this is the way you think then you have a serious False Pride issue to address!<br/> <br/> We are all learning and are on different levels as users, no-one is less, than another, and we can all learn something from another. If you believe yourself better than another, you are headed for a very serious and painful fall!<br/> <br/> False Pride is negative humility and negative ego, rolled into one. It is a inferiority complex, low self-esteem, lack of self worth, poor self concept, feeling undeserving, etc, etc, etc. We must keep the balance between inferiority and superiority, that users are the golden paved way. This is something we all have to learn from and we all need to constantly be on guard for any sign of the negative ego, as it is incredibly tricky and self seductive, and can sneak in at the worst possible times.<br/> <br/> 10. Anger<br/> <br/> The definition of anger is: “The lack of control and the attempt to regain it!” I believe those few word say just about everything. By misusing anger you are misusing your power! There are two kinds of anger Positive and negative anger! We all need positive anger in our lives; it can be used as a driving force in tough lessons. When you are a spiritual warrior, positive anger get you through battles, by manifesting tough love with self and others when needed.<br/> <br/> Anger is a ego trait, but instead of ridding yourself of anger it could rather be channeled properly, as in anger there are an enormous power, that when used correctly can yield a lot of very good and positive results.<br/> <br/> When you use anger in its true destructive form as an attack it can cause immense damage and pain to the person under attack. Users attacking a fellow brother or sister are a rather large NO, as in doing so you incur karmic dept, and it scars your soul. To hurt another is to hurt the Almighty and yourself.<br/> <br/> People that are angry all the time are demonstrating a lack of personal power and self mastery! Anger creates separation between us and our life purpose is to achieve harmony.<br/> <br/> 11. Greed<br/> <br/> This is one of the vilest qualities to learn to control. Instead of being satisfied with our little life, our negative ego yearns and long for the pieces that belong to another. This can be seen in relationships, money, power, fame and even greed in spiritual growth! Our negative ego and the spoiled inner child always want more and more and that is the product run by the ego or astral body!<br/> <br/> Instead of focusing on what we have already achieved, we focus on what we do not have; we yearn for another's gift and believe your own not to be strong enough or good enough. Greed is a negative emotion; that ties with competition, jealousy and envy, and as you greedily grab and hold onto that, you will in the end loose it. Us as users can only retain that which we give away freely.<br/> <br/> Have knowledge, abilities, gifts, etc. but share it with those on the same path as you, freely. We are all here to learn, and greedily keeping knowledge to only yourself, is a form of greed. There is however circumstances where a spell, that can cause great harm, is only shared with people that are deemed mature in spirit and responsible enough to know that certain spells in the hands of an inexperienced user, can mean death. This is not greed, but a healthy respect for your craft.<br/> <br/> Healthy competition is a great form of kinmanship and learning, but again it must be love based not negative ego based. When you walk away from a competition that you as user lost, and feel angry and resentful, then you need to reassess your motives.<br/> <br/> 12. Jealousy<br/> <br/> The ugly little green monster, that can rear its ugly head so very fast in our lives. Jealousy is born out of insecurity and attachments, making us compete with others instead of co-operate. Jealousy is the ugliest part of our negative ego. It connects with envy, greed and selfishness, this trait is something that really needs to be released. <br/> <br/> We need to be connected to all out there, and our true identity that is our Eternal Self, not the physical body and our personalities. When any one of us suffers, others suffer with us and vice versa. This is why we are all here, to be in service of each other, not for you as user to serve another as if he is your master. We are all masters of our own lives.<br/> <br/> We as users state our preference in life and then let go of it. Live to reach it, but do not let it consume you. Be happy for another’s joy when they achieve an ability they have tried to master. Do not let the negative ego, make you resentful, as you were not able to reach it yet. The key to our lives is to recognize our own unique puzzle pieces and to find them and add them onto the puzzle that is your own life. Each puzzle is designed in a unique way, and you as user have to find your own unique way, to assemble your puzzle pieces. Trying to fit another’s puzzle piece into your puzzle will cause you much anger and frustration. The key is your puzzle, your life, your power. <br/> <br/> 13. Vanity<br/> <br/> “Mirror, mirror, on the wall who is the fairest of us all!” We all know this little statement, so nicely portrayed in the story of Snow white. Vanity is always followed by jealousy, greed and anger. <br/> <br/> There is nothing wrong to look after our physical bodies and appearance, but ask yourself this do you do that in a loving and nurturing way or in a negative ego level. Having good grooming habits, being clean, neat and presentable is something to strive for. Wearing appropriate clothes, nothing wrong with that, but, here come the but, are you doing that to get noticed by others? Are you doing it as a seduction of some kind? Do you spend too much time looking in the mirror, or when choosing an outfit to wear for an occasion?<br/> <br/> Some people spend too much time on these issues and others too little time, they are both mistakes of omission and commission! Be moderate in what you do! Be clear in what you are trying to present to others! Be very honest in this regard with no judgment and make appropriate adjustments where you deem it necessary!<br/> <br/> 14. Transcending Duality<br/> <br/> In essence this is about much more than the top or under dog concept; it applies to all the aspects of the user’s lives. This concept is the absolute most difficult to understand for all users. The key to this is by seeing the 3rd and 4th dimensional consciousness focused on duality and polarity. As users we must move into the 5th dimensional consciousness and move beyond that, by thinking in the God-consciousness way, by doing that you are transcending dualistic, and are still involved in your life.<br/> <br/> In other words, being a user on the physical plain, as well as for filling your higher life path in the Spiritual realms. Keeping balance between these two very different worlds is not easy, but achievable.<br/> <br/> The Negative Ego also has two sides to it; you have profit and loss, pleasure and pain, sickness and health, victory and defeat, success and failure. Keeping balance in the negative Ego are just as challenging!<br/> <br/> In learning to transcend duality we do not have to get tossed around like a little boat on the stormy sea of our lives, when we hit the emotional highs and lows. There is a way of thinking that allows us to be more in harmony, always in our power, always loving and always happy, always even minded, always in joy, inner peace, forgiveness and in short, always in harmony with our self, no matter how stormy our lives get. It is called the God self, and it allows the user to remain the same whether people praise you or are mean and hurtful to you!<br/> <br/> Through all the storms and fluctuations of our outer life, it should not affect your even mindedness of your thinking process. In this way the Negative ego does not become engaged.<br/> <br/> It is not about what is going on in the physical, that should be your concern, but what is going on the inside of your life. Your connection with the higher you, that should be a users only main concern at all times. In other words are you optimistic or pessimistic? Do you see the glass as half full or half empty? How will you react if you loose everything you own right NOW, jump out a window?<br/> <br/> It is all about perception and interpretation of what you believe. It is to help you achieve a mindset shift, out of thinking from fear based thoughts and emotions, to love based thoughts and emotions. In the end the user are their own salvation! Your live is what you believe it to be, and not the cause of another, only the cause of your own belief’s and actions!<br/> <br/> 15. Egotism<br/> <br/> Now the final and largest test for all users is egotism! Egotism goes way beyond pride and really is a direct link to the negative Ego and negative emotions. For a user to really become a master or Arthan, you have to transcend the negative ego with all its negative attributes, qualities and emotions to that of love and God self.<br/> <br/> Your EGO is the source of all the above mentioned tests that was mentioned here, it is also the source of all lower self desires, all separation, fear and selfishness. This little word Ego is the ultimate lesson every single user and soul must learn.<br/> <br/> The key to inner peace is to deny every thought that is not in harmony with your God self, only affirm and place your attention on every thought and emotion that is of love and your God self. The user’s subconscious mind is as happy to be programmed with the God-consciousness as it is to be programmed with the Negative Ego consciousness. It does not care, because it has no reasoning. It is the job of the user to use their conscious mind to reprogram their subconscious mind with the right program, which will be beneficial to the user.<br/> <br/> Many users spend too much time focusing on the Ascended Masters and do not spend enough time cleansing their minds and emotions of the effects of the negative ego’s thoughts, emotions and attributes. The ascended masters and Angels will not get rid of the users negative Ego, that dear user is a lesson you have to master on your own. By not giving your negative ego any attention it will wither away, but when you get mad at it you focus on it and it will take over gradually. In reality the negative ego do not exist, you as user think it does, but it is nothing more that a bad dream. It is something that only manifest on the mental plane and this illusion we are currently living in. It further manifest on the astral planes as glamor and on the etheric plane as maya.<br/> <br/> The ego has been called many things, lower self, ego, negative ego, but I believe calling it the Negative ego explain it the best. It can only be described in one way “separation consciousness” When we focus on the negative ego we get separated from our higher self or true self, and that voice get over shadowed by the voice of the negative Ego.<br/> <br/> In the end the law of all magick is this: “What you believe will come to pass!” That is the only truth that matter in the lives of each user. Believe you can’t and you will not! Believe you can and you will soar. The little word “CAN’T” must be changed by removing ‘T, and suddenly you as user CAN achieve anything.<br/> <br/> Following these 15 tests is a constant daily chore, which forces the users to be constantly aware of who they are and how they act. Each user and their circumstances change on continual bases, and we have to keep making tiny adjustments to ourselves. Not one of us can claim that we have perfected all these lessons. Every day we learn and achieve a little more control, over who we truly are.<br/> <br/> When we use magick it needs to be in a positive way, taking in consideration the effect it will have on us as users as well as the greater good out there. By being responsible and taking responsibility for our own actions, we take control of our own lives, abilities and or path.<br/> <br/> This is the fundamental ground rules that form the backbone or corner stone for each and every user, no matter on what level you are, or what your abilities is. These golden rules, teaches us as users the path to greater wisdom, that not only magical users wish to achieve, but every other person and light worker out there. These fundamental rules are the rules that should also be used to teach the young. Without this backbone and corner stone, many users will not achieve their goals, and those who constantly remind themselves of these rules, will truly grow and move forward on their own unique spiritual path.<br/> <br/> Magick is a tool and we as users, the energy that makes or breaks that tool. The only people you can ever blame for a failure are you the user and not the tool. Therefore, go out and enjoy magick by learning and growing, and remember, treat your tools with respect and responsibility, if you neglect to respect it, the consequences can be far-reaching.<br/> <br/> Next we will look at the different types of magic, and then how to choose which of them best suit you and your skills. “Alchemy” of the Soul - Part 2 - Balance Healingtag:resistance2010.com,2011-02-22:3228704:BlogPost:1364952011-02-22T19:23:57.000ZAnushhttps://resistance2010.com/profile/Anush

<p>At times in healing we tend to find that a person has a very difficult time in achieving balance and keeping it. Mostly this can be adjusted by the person themselves. There is however times when a soul needs an extra helping hand.</p>
<br/>
<p>By understanding where the problem is, it can be adjusted, but this type of healing should only be used as a absolute last resort, and by someone that has experience in these matters, and only when all else has failed to restore the balance of that soul.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Most unbalanced souls can be adjusted with meditation and changing the persons behavior by positive thinking, other methods and also by manually adjusting the balance in the soul gently. There are however other times when all that</p>
<p>fail.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We all know the Yin-Yang sign, but few understand what it is used for. It is the Master key of balance, all balance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Balance in mind, body and spirit, but also balance in soul. All souls have a light and dark side, yet there are different “levels” of souls. With this is meant the level of consciousness achieved by that soul on its life journey.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Light and dark, has to co-exist in complete harmony at all times. If either are allowed to become more than the other, it distorts the balance of that soul. A soul that has an increase of dark energy, display a lot of Negative Ego traits, with increased light energy, you find that the person is in a euphoric state of complete bliss, they look like someone<br/> suffering the effects of a drug.</p>
<br/>
<p>Neither of these states is at all healthy for soul growth. In our universe, balance has to be achieved by equal light and equal dark. This is called harmony. All souls have to be in harmony to grow. Most people say “We have to face our own demons” this is what is meant by this. Through increasing the light inside your soul, it decreases the dark, bringing balance and harmony to that soul.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Completely destroying the dark inside a soul creates instability and can not be maintained indefinitely. This can be seen in a person that is blissfully happy and nothing can upset them, this usually never last very long as the soul rebel and tries to restore the balance on its own.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Normal and young souls are easily adjusted back to balance without extreme healing. Even the higher souls only need slight changes made to achieve this balance, but the Diamond and Diamond Prismatic souls tend to really fall apart<br/> when they loose balance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It does not happen often, usually after a shattered soul is repaired or these souls suffered intense trauma, will this occur. The symptoms are an increase in negative ego traits, in such an extreme fashion that the person seems all dark.</p>
<br/>
<p>This is when normal treatment will fail, and the only way to repair this would be to balance and lock that soul back into harmony. There are different types of locks as well. Most will use a light lock that fall away when the person comes back into harmony and stay there for a certain time. There is also the total lock; this is rarely used as those locks have to be removed manually. When such people keep loosing their soul balance and are struggling to retain and keep it, it is a good idea to do that for a longer period in time. This gives the soul time to heal, stabilize and memorize the balance. Usually when the lock is then removed it is replaced with a light lock, which will then fall away easily.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Normally a soul restores its balance on its own, yet sometimes in severe trauma, they do need a little assistance.</p>
<br/>
<p>The process of healing such a badly unbalanced soul is very time consuming and takes a lot of concentration and energy. It is also very dangerous for the person doing the healing and the one receiving it. The Healer has to be an even tempered person that is able to concentrate for extremely long periods of time. They must also be able to sense a change happening and be able to adjust the changes before it become a problem. It take a lot of self restraint and absolute control.</p>
<br/>
<p>What does work well is the Alchemy ring for healing, with the healing symbols written in the ring. Inside that ring would be another ring and inside this ring is written the names of the spirits you ask for assistance. You have to choose them<br/> well, as some spirits can be very spiteful and malicious. So your choice in spirits is incredibly important. There are so many spirits that is useful, but picking the wrong one, can result in a very bad result. Spirits should never be used, without respect and proper protection.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Inside the second ring is placed the Yin-Yang symbol.</p>
<br/>
<p>This is but the start of all that needs to be done, there are ancient incantations that has to be said, also the incantation for each spirit. Those spirits has to be in harmony with you, the magick user and the soul you are helping. If not the consequences are severe.</p>
<br/>
<p>Now you are ready to start the process.</p>
<br/><ol start="1">
<li>Firstly the person has to lay quietly, this work much better when the person sleep.</li>
<li>This can also not be done in the physical only in the spiritual.</li>
<li>Ask the body permission to do this, as some bodies tend to refuse a user if they do not feel secure in your presence. When the body gives clear consent, bless the body, spirit and soul with another<br/> incantation.</li>
<li>Remove the Aura field and cleanse the body with healing energy. When the body is glowing it is time for the next step.</li>
<li>Now open the heart chakra and pull the energy whorl out of the body. Inside the whorl you will find a glowing blue/white light, this is the soul.</li>
<li>When you look at the whorl, when it is in balance, the energy flow steadily and the spaces between the whorl lines are stable and of equal distance apart. An unbalanced soul’s whorl will look like a mess and the energy would be broken and very unstable.</li>
<li>The alchemy ring, spirit ring and Yin-Yang symbol, will be written in energy and be floating close to your left side (This is important, all energy added must always be done from left to right, NEVER from right to left)</li>
<li>Place both hands on either side of the whorl, and gently untangle this energy until the whorl energy flow smoothly and is stable with even spacing between the spiraling flows. Now place vertical braces of energy at various places to keep it stabilized, because if you remove your hands now, you will have to start all over. (Starting over mean you have hurt the body and it will likely not trust you again. So mistakes are not recommended.) When it is holding and stable, let it rest for 2 minutes. This will give you room to breathe deeply and release any tension.</li>
<li>Now place your left hand over the symbols and gently move it over the top of the whorl, facing upwards. Let it rest there for a minute, it gives the whorl energy and the symbols time to adapt to the vibrations.</li>
<li>Gently place a hand on either side of the whorl and gently merge the whorl with the symbols. When this is successful the soul that is in the center will start to flicker and then increase in brightness.</li>
<li>To permanently lock this together, say the incantation while touching the symbols in a very specific combination, between the letters of the name of each spirit and the Alchemy symbols inside the outer ring. At the end place your hand in the center of the Yin-Yang symbol and gently push it down back into the heart chakra. All the time saying another incantation that blesses the spirits as well as the healing.</li>
<li>When the soul is back into place, seal the heart chakra. When you do that and the body accepts the changes a light blue energy would spread from the heart chakra all though the body. This mean the process was successful.</li>
<li>Now re-knit the Aura and fill it with love and light to charge it with positive energy. Then re-activate all the chakra's and link them together, when they are all activated, the aura will settle and reconnect with all.</li>
</ol>
<br/><p>This healing is very intense and not recommended for a beginner to try. I have also not included the incantations, or the names of the spirits. Those things can only be taught by a master, to a student that has dedicated their lives to learning.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The amount of danger this brings to the Magick user and the soul is immense, so never use any of this high level healing without the utmost respect.</p>
<br/>
<p>What was used there is a combination of the Key Magick, Alchemy, Sacred Geometry, Dragon magick, Soul and Spirit Magick. This is why it is incredibly dangerous, if the combination is not used right, and the right incantation not<br/> said in the right tone and voice, at the right time, it will kill you both.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And as with all magick and Alchemy something has to be sacrificed to gain something. Remember that! When you do this level of magick, the only sacrifice the spirits and the soul would take is something of equal value!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have not prepared and your sacrifice is not accepted, the sacrifice taken will be your soul or someone you love! In magick something need to be given to be able to receive, just be aware of the consequences of any sacrifice you make.</p>
<p> </p>
This is an example of how effective healing magick can be, in the right hands! It can also be equally as destructive when you choose the wrong combination or spirits.<br/> <br/>
<p> </p>
When it come to souls, you need to be incredibly careful, and work with extreme respect towards the soul you are helping, your own, the spirits and the magick.<br/> <br/>
<p> </p>
All actions have reactions! Never forget that!Alchemy of the Soul - Part 3 – Light, Dark, Daemon and Dark Raytag:resistance2010.com,2011-02-22:3228704:BlogPost:1364262011-02-22T19:21:20.000ZAnushhttps://resistance2010.com/profile/Anush
<p>This is a difficult subject to touch as it is complicated and a very sensitive issue. I will try to explain this in a way that I finaly understood it all. Many people talk about dark, daemon and Dark Ray, yet they seem to get them confused. In this discussion I will try to lift out the differences between all of these elements, to the best of my ability.</p>

<p>This is a difficult subject to touch as it is complicated and a very sensitive issue. I will try to explain this in a way that I finaly understood it all. Many people talk about dark, daemon and Dark Ray, yet they seem to get them confused. In this discussion I will try to lift out the differences between all of these elements, to the best of my ability.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To help you understand this aspect, deeper knowledge on the aspects of the soul is needed. There are many different soul levels, the level of a soul is directly linked to the level of consciousness a soul has achieved during their lifetime. All souls are created to carry light and dark, also known as rays. All souls start out with 4 rays. Light, Dark, Male and Female. This is the basis all souls are created on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In a young soul’s first incarnation, the soul chooses to focus on two aspects at a time. They choose to be either male or female, and then Light or Dark. Learning balance between the rays is something most souls strive towards. (Actually dark should be called shadow, as it is the negative aspect of light.)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As souls progress through the soul levels, more rays get added to the spectrum and the more difficult it become to achieve and hold the balance projected from the souls.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A soul is capable of projecting eight major rays; this is achieved when the soul achieved Diamond Prismatic level. A soul can go past the Diamond Prismatic Level, by merging the rays, to achieve further clarity. Normally all rays have a barrier between them called the ray membrane and this keeps each ray stable and consistent. When a soul moves past the Diamond Prismatic Level, these membranes dissolve. At this stage the soul has full control over the rays and can blend these rays at will, by doing this a soul can achieve higher levels of power to manipulate its environments and self. This however requires absolute control and self-mastery, to achieve. Absolute balance and harmony needs to be achieved for the soul to hold control of the rays, without the assistance of the membranes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I discussed in Alchemy of the soul – Balance Healing, a lock, either permanent or temporary can help achieve this, but it is far more important for the soul to achieve this balance through learning the lessons and dealing with the issues it has to, in order to learn the required balance. Something that came easily is not appreciated as much as something worked on. That is why the 15 test (See Magick realms – Part 1) is incredibly important, they help the soul gain understanding of self, it also assist in the training to maintaining this balance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As shown in this figure, the soul project the rays like a prism. By adjusting the flow of the rays, the soul masters the ability to change the way the rays are projected. This affect the powers a soul use, magick, the way the soul act, as well as how fast or slow the soul grow, by learning the lessons needed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543279559?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543279559?profile=original" width="537" height="451"/></a></p>
The major rays are:<br />
<p>A – Light</p>
<p>B – Destruction</p>
<p>C – Love</p>
<p>D – Female</p>
<p>E – Male</p>
<p>F – Creation</p>
<p>G – Chaos</p>
<p>H – Dark</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Notice the straight line at the end of the rays, it shows a Diamond Prismatic Soul in perfect balance and harmony. All the rays are equal and at equal strength, stable and in harmony. This is the ideal that needs to be achieved by all souls, and if you think that is easy, you are very wrong. To achieve this balance you need to work through all past life issues, change the way you think, see, feel and experience everything. It also requires daily maintenance. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have achieved this balance, sitting back is not an option. It needs to be maintained and to work at it every minute of every day. It is a subconscious change in the way the Physical, Spiritual and soul work in a perfect triangle. The spiral inside this triangle need to be constant and stable, if an imbalance occur, it must be adjusted immediately. When it is not adjusted and left it becomes unstable, this is when the imbalance can cause severe instability, and it can then only be rectified by using the temporary lock on the soul to help stabilize it. This is why maintaining the balance of a soul is so important, as getting someone to do this healing, is asking a lot. The consequences of asking for this type of healing are great, as I explained in Alchemy of the soul – Balance Healing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A soul in balance, is never affected badly by either light or dark. It stays in balance with small fluctuations. If you take the Yin Yan symbol and spin it, you will see what I mean. Just cut one out and make it spin. It gives you a completely diffrent perspective.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you separate it into half you will see that the top half have dark larger than light and the botom half light larger than dark. They look out of balance but in reality they are in complete balance. In this way when you use more dark or shadow like in battle, you are not out of balance you are in balance. Then when you show love and light to someone, you increase the light side and the dark decrease, etc. So in the end you stay in balance.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This next figure show spikes, these spikes are rays that are stronger than the others upsetting the balance of the soul. This shows a soul that appears dark, as it would focus on using the rays B, G, H and either D or E (This depends on the gender the soul chose in a specific incarnation). In this way the soul appear dark, yet it really is not dark, it is only focusing on the darker / shadow aspects inside the soul and projecting these stronger than the others.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543279656?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543279656?profile=original" width="475" height="283"/></a>This figure show the spikes again, but notice that the spikes are stronger on the rays A, C and F and either D or E.<span> </span> In this way this soul appears light as it is focusing more on these rays.</p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543280286?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543280286?profile=original" width="415" height="228"/></a></p>
The problem that occurs is that a soul needs to be in balance and harmony, so it will strive to bring the rays back to harmony.<br/>
<p> </p>
<strong>Dark Souls vs Daemons</strong><br/>
<p> </p>
<p>In rare cases a soul can be created primarily dark, but it is not normal. This is what is called a daemon. They can’t stand the touch of light or love, and will die when exposed to it. However, it is possible to heal these souls, but there is only one way it can be done. Through recycling them back to the Soul Grid, there they are healed and then reborn, as a normal soul.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As it is possible to lock a soul in balance it is also possible to lock them in either light or dark. This is unhealthy and not something that should ever be done. It causes great distress to the soul and in the end the soul will revolt causing great upset, or it will destroy itself.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Souls that focus on the Dark / negative rays, appear dark. They are aggressive and display a lot of negative ego qualities. They also have positive qualities, like love and light. They choose to focus on the Dark (meaning negative) side and are then called Dark Souls.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To be called a daemon, your soul would have to be created with only two rays, Dark, and either male or female. That soul is then permanently locked in this way. It can’t tolerate light or love and is very sensitive to it. When confronted<br/> with pure light, it dies. Pure daemons can not survive in this dimension for very long on their own, the light start<br/> to affect them, and they have to leave. They can however stay, by attaching themselves to a soul here and feed of the negative aspects of that soul, to be able to stay here. It affects the soul they feed of by turning that soul Dark. Daemon’s are parasites, of pure darkness. The vampires of stories!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this manner those that call themselves Satanists are not daemons, they are called Dark souls, as they are light, that prefer to use only dark. Darkness is like an addiction. Some souls can withstand the temptation, others not. Most of the time souls that turn to the dark side are affected by a daemon parasite. They can change back towards balance if they so choose to. In some cases they refuse to return, then they can be helped to adjust back to balance, by separating them from the parasite and if that does not work, they are recycled, to heal and rebalanced themselves. The down side is that those souls that can’t withstand the pull from the dark; will always return back to dark, unless they make that conscious decision, not to return, they can be recycled only to be tempted again. Some times they have to be recycled 4 times to break them of that addiction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In very rare cases, the set pattern is so strongly locked in that not even the recycling can rectify the imbalance, it is then that such souls are destroyed; no amount of recycling will adjust those souls back to harmony. They are returned back to energy or the global consciousness to learn further, until such time as they are able to be reborn again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Light</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>As with dark, so is light. Most understand the concept of light. The problem with pure light is that they can’t tolerate any darkness. (with this I mean someone that only have light and suppresses all dark) It affects them badly. To be called pure light, you have to be in balance, pure balance. All rays, as well as the mixing of all the rays have to be stable, equal, in balance and harmony.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are no shortcuts for this, master the 15 tests, on a daily basis, learn and deal with all your past issues and lessons, and you can achieve pure light. Even pure light is light and dark, equally balanced like the Yin-Yang symbol.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Dark Ray</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is something very hard to master. Those that carry the Dark Ray, are rare, as this ray are hard to live with and incredibly strong. When you look at the Yin-Yang sign, notice the dots in each side, white on black, black on white. This represents the dark and light ray. It is a part of a soul as a whole, but it is separate from the soul, yet work in harmony with the soul. Confusing isn’t it?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The white dot represents the Light Ray, this is also known as the Christ or God consciousness, most of us know all about this. It is also mentioned in the blog Magical Realms – Part 1.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Dark Ray (or shadow) is the exact opposite to the white ray, yet it is not daemon and it can tolerate light and love. It does not feed off the negative aspects in the soul; it controls them, keeping them in balance and harmony. This ray is incredibly strong, and when mastered and used correctly the soul can appear light or dark at any given<br/> time. By increasing the dark elements inside the soul, the soul can increase the amount of power it has and use.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This part is useful in battle or in circumstances where the soul needs to be more assertive to gain the upper hand in a situation, or are under threat. They can go from anger, to love in the blink of an eye. It leaves no festering feelings, or emotions behind.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Dark Ray, is not a easy part to live with, and souls that has learned to master that part of themselves, are so much stronger, and stable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When souls that carry this ray, get into confrontations; the ray increase the Destruction and Chaos rays to increase power. This soul will then appear to be out of balance and “coming from Ego”, yet it is not the case. For the ray to be in balance all the rays (A to H) must be in balance to be able to master and use the Dark Ray. The rays will appear stronger, more prominent, but it does not spike, it stays inside the balance line.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One other aspect of the Dark Ray, is that it will always have the opposite gender than the Soul. If the Soul is female, the Dark ray will be male and carry male DNA, and the Light Ray will be female and carry female DNA, or the other way around.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When a soul grows past the Diamond Prismatic Soul level, the ray membrane would no longer be there to separate the male and female sides. The male and female ray would merge, and their DNA would also merge. In this way the Dark Ray would be different as well. The Dark ray would then have male and female rays as well as DNA. The white ray will also be like that. In this way the soul, has no barriers and the rays it project look more like a rainbow. The rays touch each other and this creates new rays that increase the conscious level of the soul even further. To achieve this level of soul growth means the soul has mastered the use of energy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At this soul level, the soul is in contact with all energy, nothing ever created or still to be created can exist without this soul knowing about it. It would be in complete contact with all life, in balance and in harmony with all there is.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To achieve this level of soul growth and consciousness, you have achieved the status of The Almighty! Not many souls have ever reached this levels, as it takes dedication, suffering and absolute will.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope this explain the difference between the term Dark, Daemon and Dark Ray, more clearly.</p>When you look into a crystal - It all becomes cleartag:resistance2010.com,2011-02-20:3228704:BlogPost:1348232011-02-20T13:53:09.000ZAnushhttps://resistance2010.com/profile/Anush
<p>I have heard a lot about this book, and I have looked for it a long time. Then at the time I really needed it both books practically fell into my hands. I am of course talking about The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield. Book one An Adventure is the one I am reading now and the other is An Experiential Guide.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a part that really got to me today, you will see why!</p>

<p>I have heard a lot about this book, and I have looked for it a long time. Then at the time I really needed it both books practically fell into my hands. I am of course talking about The Celestine Prophecy, by James Redfield. Book one An Adventure is the one I am reading now and the other is An Experiential Guide.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a part that really got to me today, you will see why!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“He nodded towards the other passengers.’ Do you feel as if you have a clearer perspective on the human world? Do you see how preoccupied everyone was been? This perspective explained a lot. How many people do you know are obsessed with their work, who are type A or have stress related diseases and who can’t slow down? They can’t slow down because they use their routine to distract themselves, to reduce life only its practical considerations. And they do this to avoid recalling how uncertain they are about why they live. The second Insight extends our consciousness of historical time,’ he added. ‘It shows us how to observe culture not just from the perspective of our own lifetimes but from the perspective of a whole millennium. ‘It reveals our preoccupation to us and so lifts us above it. You have just experienced this longer history. You now live in a longer now. When you look at the human world now, you should be able to clearly see this obsessiveness, the intense preoccupation with economic progress.’</p>
<p> </p>
<p>‘But what’s wrong with that?’ I protested. ‘Its what made western civilization great.’</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He laughed loudly. ‘Of course, you’re right. No one’s saying it was wrong. In fact, the Manuscript says the preoccupation was a necessary development, a stage in human evolution. Now however, we’ve spent enough time settling into the world. It’s time now to wake up from the preoccupation and reconsider our original question. What’s behind life on this planet? Why are we really here?’</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I looked at him for a long time, then asked, ‘Do you think the other insights explain this purpose?’</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dobson cocked his head. ‘I think it’s worth the look. I just hope no-one destroys the rest of the Manuscript before we have a chance to find out.’</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another part of the book:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>… I stared out the window again. As I looked down, it darned on me that the airplane on which we were riding contained within its technology four centuries of progress. We had learned much about manipulating the resources we has found on the Earth. How many people I mused, how many generations did it take to create the products and the understanding, that enable this airplane to come into being? And how many spent their whole lives focused on one tiny aspect, one small step, without ever lifting their heads from that preoccupation?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Suddenly, in that instant, the span of history Dobson and I had been discussing seemed to integrate fully into my consciousness. I could see the millennium clearly, as though it was part of my own life history. A thousand years ago we had lived in a world where God and human spirituality were clearly defined. And then we had lost it, or better, we had decided there was more to the story. Accordingly, we sent our explorers out to discover the real truth and to report back, and when they had taken too long we had become preoccupied with a new, secular purpose, one of settling into the world, of making ourselves more comfortable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And settle we had. We discovered that metallic ores can be melted down and fashioned into all kinds of gadgets. We invented sources of power, first steam then gas and electricity and fission. We systemized farming and mass production and now commanded huge stores of material goods and vast networks of distribution.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Propelling it all was the call to progress, the desire of the individual to provide his own security, his own purpose while he was waiting for the truth. We had decided to create a more comfortable and pleasurable life for ourselves and our children, and in a mere four hundred years our preoccupation had created a human world where all the comforts of life could now be produced. The problem was that our focused obsessive drive to conquer nature and make ourselves more comfortable had left the natural system on the planet polluted and on the verge of collapse. We couldn’t go on this way.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dobson was right! The Second Insight did make our new awareness seem inevitable. We were reaching a climax in our cultural purpose. We were accomplishing what we have collectively decided to do, and as this happened, our preoccupation was breaking down and we were waking up to something else. I could almost see the momentum of the Modern Age slowing as we approached the end of the millennium. A four hundred year old obsession had been completed. We had created the means of material security, and now we seemed to be ready – poised, in fact – to find out why we had done it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the faces of the passengers around me I could see evidence of the preoccupation, but also I thought I detected brief glimpses of awareness. How many, I wondered, has already noticed the coincidences?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p> $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This hit me right between the eyes as I have been feeling this for the last 8 years, infact all my life. Oh, I am so glad I finally found these books.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is it! This is what I have been trying to explain all along. Yet it is difficult for me to hold on to knowledge long enough to try and explain all that goes on in my mind. There is never a moment when my mind is quiet, there is just so much I need to remember, or are contemplating at any given time, that I do not have the time to share. My family does not get this or my fascination with history, yet through that I learned to see much more. Learning from the past, to achieve a deeper understanding, then to make a better future.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is how we shaped this reality we send your explorers, meaning our Spirit body out into the universe to find the truth (meaning the day we were separated from our spirit bodies to come here, some voluntary some not); while we waited we created this reality. The one he explained. Now as we awake we find our spirit body have been waiting for us to wake up, so that it could come back and bring with it the knowledge it has gathered. Knowledge from the past and the future and all else out there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our bodies survived, filling the blank space left by out our spirit body with the stuff of this world. The money, fame, popularity, dreams, etc. when in essence we were yearning for the part of us that was missing, our spirit body.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since waking up I tried to understand how they can say all this, that is feeling so damn real, is an illusion. Now after very deep research I found that in my life it is true. I measured my life to the standards set by the world, to the world I am ugly, over weight, a poor idiot that have lost all she owned, a hapless waste of space. That barely scratches a living, bending the knee to those that keep her imprisoned.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BUT</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is not my reality, my reality is the life of Anush, the woman that is fearless that got up and fought for what she believed in no matter what. The woman that love hard, fight hard and learn hard. The woman that understand all, and care for all. This is my reality! This is the experiment! To reintegrate all our bodies back into one, AKA Ascension!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The reality - What you believe in.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In waking up and learning to get back in contact with your spirit body, Pulling that part back into its place, your physical body learn from the experiences of your spirit body, implementing what you have learned to the world around you. If you believe in the knowledge, the knowledge gives you wings.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Slowly merging back to one, reconnecting with all that is out there, the other spirit bodies the other souls, until all of us are back as we were. One and connected through the global consciousness as one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It seem to be a large thing to grasp, and my guardians that is guiding me back to becoming one in myself, keep saying be like the water element in you. Yes it is true, the moment you stop fighting saying “is this even real”, you reach a point of stillness in your mind, a point where you go blank. At this point you do the Geronimo thing, leap off that cliff, open your heart, soul and mind and just BE. Stop, questioning, stop fighting, watch, experience, ask, and learn. That is the time where all that start to make sense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our bodies are still in this world awaiting the merge that is happening gradually, whether we believe it or not, whether we realize it or not. Even those that seem asleep or sheeple, are experiencing the change, slower, but it is there. The difference is that those awake are actively participating in their path, while those not awake are pulled along by those already on the path. Eventually they will wake up, so stop getting angry with them, just love them and have patience with them, if you remember correctly that was you just a short while back.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is what I was trying to explain so many times, but with so many words running in my mind what I keep saying is a rather large insane jumble of words, that sometimes make sense and sometimes not so much.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What I as Anush experience in the Spiritual realms is real, to me and my life. How I see the same event as what you experience viewing the same event will not be the same. As I take from that happened what is appropriate to me, where as you so the same. The event stay real and the same, but the way it was seen differ.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The events in the spiritual realms are the real truth, and reflect what is below. AKA - As above so below. What happen in this reality affect the spiritual Realm, just as much and what happen in the Spiritual realm affect this reality. I have seen how recovering my past lives; dealing with the issues needed from those life’s have affected my physical body and my physical life, now. It is far from perfect, but it is a work in progress. How healing the trauma of my emotional body is healing my body, it is loosing weight, returning to its true form, without hours in a gym. It is fascinating. I am rarely sick anymore, wounds heal faster, stuff that is not supposed to happen does.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All my life I felt detached, alone – even in a crowds of people. I know there is more to me, yet no-one understood that. I started hating everything, being moody, disrespectful and plain mean, I refused to see others views, I believed I was cheated, I was, but it made me angry, oh it reflected in this reality by being abused, raped, cheated, being diagnosed with heart disease, diabetes, hereditary liver disease is was also treated like I treated others. I went to a very dark place, yet there were also 2 parts of me even in that state. A gentle person, that loved all, but the other person, that wanted to kill all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It took a dramatic event to make me snap out of that way of existing. The event was the day the random stranger pulled me back just in time to not be killed by a bus, something I wanted. I wanted the torture to end! It did, but not in the way I wanted, by ending this life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That moment when he shook me till my teeth rattled, something clicked in my mind, that day at the age of 22 my Spirit slapped the shit out of me. That was the day my path changed, the day I did a 90 degree turn and started looking for the truth.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>All of us are in the process of finding all this for ourself, we finally wake up; connect with the spirit world and go. “Can this really be true” yes it is, it is true to you, true to find who you are, inside this body and inside the spirit body. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We start connecting with others not just in the physical, but in the spiritual, those more adept help those starting out, that is the path we are on. By merging and bringing the bodies together we are reaching a clearer state of understanding. Understanding yourself, your life, your path and ultimately, your role as part of the greater consciousness. We learn how what we do affect those around us how it affect the weather. It defies understanding. Maybe that is the problem with most spiritual experiences; you want it to be proven, instead of being like a child and believing with a pure and untainted heart. That is also something the bible teaches us, become a child a gain, believe like a child, to gain the Kingdom of Heaven. Trust is something not earned but given without prejudice. Heaven belong to a child, because they understand much more than grownups do. They let go of events learn form them and move of, we tend to hold on to the pain and the event then get stuck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the end I believe that what you experience is real, real to your life and your reality, it is also real to others. We learn by opening our mind to the possibilities of what is out there, bringing that down into the physical and sharing what you have learned with others.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the end we are all alike; we are children searching for the way home. Today I realized that I am home, I stand before the door called ascension waiting for the right time to open it and be truly home.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am finally able to place all the puzzle pieces on the table and look at the bigger picture that I call this life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am not done with this book yet, who knows what more will surface in the exact right way for me.</p>The Day I fell in love with “The Devil”tag:resistance2010.com,2011-02-15:3228704:BlogPost:1330762011-02-15T18:19:35.000ZAnushhttps://resistance2010.com/profile/Anush
One day a long time ago, there was…. Isn’t that how all fairy tales and love stories start. Well I think I will not do that, lets start it like this!<br />
<p> </p>
<p>The day was extra hot very early. It was 7am and already sweat was forming on my brow as I loaded “the Madam”. The destination… Benoni, and a liaison with a sexy hunk of a stallion. Let’s just hope “Madam” take a liking to this stallion, as she has rejected 4 others. I sigh as I close the horsebox.</p>

One day a long time ago, there was…. Isn’t that how all fairy tales and love stories start. Well I think I will not do that, lets start it like this!<br />
<p> </p>
<p>The day was extra hot very early. It was 7am and already sweat was forming on my brow as I loaded “the Madam”. The destination… Benoni, and a liaison with a sexy hunk of a stallion. Let’s just hope “Madam” take a liking to this stallion, as she has rejected 4 others. I sigh as I close the horsebox.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have made a decision to buy a colt as it is expensive to take my 3 little mares to visit the selected hunks. This was the reason I am taking “The Madam” along, for a liaison with the sexy hunk of a stallion that is also the shire of the colt I am interested in. I selected him according to bloodlines, but have not seen him yet. At least if she does not take to the stallion, the trip was not wasted and the youngster had a companion for the trip home. This was a very large and costly escapade.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I got into the vehicle and started of. If she does not warm up to this stallion, she would move on to live with a friend. There she would find a loving home as my friend adore her, but just want her for a riding horse. I need a broodmare not another riding horse. I sigh deeply and check the rear view mirror. All well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was a long three hour drive and as we pulled into the farm, the stallion gave me a show, I will not likely ever forget. He was running, bucking and rearing, in excitement, as he know very well, a strange horsebox meant a visiting lady. So he did his best to impress, believe me I was impressed!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“The Madam” was actually answering his calls, maybe just maybe this will be the one she would like. We pulled in and off load her, letting her rest in a camp next to the Hunk. A lot of flirting was going on so we left them at it. In the end she did not take to the stallion advances, and she later moved stables.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then it was time to meet the “Colt”. So the stable hand released the 4 yearling colts, and they came streaking around the corner of the stable block. This was the moment I fell in love. In the front was a smaller colt, Head up nose in the air, bushy mane bouncing and tail curled over his back. Nostrils wide, his red chestnut coat gleaming, high stepping dainty feet. He floated over the ground in long ground covering strides. He out paced the other colts in a trot. It was a sight that took my breath away. There really is NO other horse that can move like an Arabian can! I stood there transfixed, barely breathing!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The youngsters trotted and frolicked around us and then that red gleaming colt, came to a standstill a arm length from me. Tail still up, little neck arched and nostrils flaring. His whole attitude was on fire! Our eyes met and I was lost in the brown eyes that sparkles with life and an inner fire that made me feel something I did not understand. Looking in his eyes made me want to sing and dance, experiencing the joy that was radiating from him. We stood like that for a full 5 minutes. His nostrils flaring as he read my energy and the smell of the stranger staring at him.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As I looked at him I saw and felt Fire, not just fire a blaze! It radiated from him! Slowly I extended my hand and he extended his nose, as we touched for a minute, I felt his energy, his vibrant lust for life, it flowed from him, into my body, filling me with the essence of pure life! Then he bounded away neck arching, as he danced around the paddock. All the other colts were standing around, but not him. It was as if his little body could not contain the fire in his heart.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>His owner looked at me and smiled “Well, which one of these colts is YOUR colt!” I looked at them and said without hesitation, “That one! The one with the fire radiating from him, there is no question about it, it is him.” She laughed and said “You are very right!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I asked: What is his name?” The answer Shetan, it means The Devil in Arabic. I looked concerned for a moment. She said: “You will have to be firm with him, as he is a lot of horse, even at this age!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Well, I actually almost left him there. It took 6 grown men to load Shetan, but I just could not leave without him. This was the day the love affair with the devil colt started.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>For 5 years he was the axis my live revolved around. Together we learned to get along; slowly I tamed the fire in his blood, and turned it to love. He was a devil horse, he bit, reared, stomped you, and ran you over. He kicked, and doing anything with him was always a battle of wills. In the end I sat down in his pasture and stayed there for a whole day. Walking with him, following his every move, I would not quit, I did that for a week, and then he started paying attention. Slowly I learned to use my energy to touch him, without touching him, eventually I could do anything with him. Finally the Devil horse, realized, the value of love, and the pleasure of being touched.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Everyone that witnessed that struggle told me to put him down, or sell him. Yet, I could not do that. In the end I won his heart by loving him, with all I was. Then at 2 years we were away for a weekend, and he was almost stolen. He fought them and they left him alone, but they left him with a cracked knee cap. The vet said, put him down, I refused. Showed him the gate and said “You do not know anything, piss off! He will run again!”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I stabled him and each day I healed him, with all the love I had. 6 weeks later he could walk. 8 weeks later he was trotting without a limp. A year later he was declared sound, except for a splint, that developed from the blow to the knee. The horse that would never have run again was floating around the pasture, and the father of 2 gorgeous foals.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543253201?profile=original"><img width="750" class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2543253201?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></a></p>
Yet he was now called the ugly stallion, as he is not what they would like to use for breeding, not good enough. He was too short, at 6 months he ripped open his front end. It healed with a tiny scar. You could barely see it, when I bought him, but it stemmed his growth a bit, then the setback with his knee. So he turned into this wonky stallion. Nothing about him fit together. Everyone called him ugly, but they could not see him through my eyes. I saw the fire in his soul, the energy in his movements, and the gentle touch of his love. No-one saw what I did, the raw beauty that lies in his soul.<br />
<p> </p>
<p>At that time my life went to hell in a hand basket, way more that it already was. I found refuse in the warm neck of a friend, many a day I would burry my face in his mane and share my soul with him, together we came through so much difficulty, so much pain and so much heartache. Yet we shared the joy of being together, playing together. The joy of touching in love! The joy of sharing our energy, and speaking about the meaning of life. Sharing special moment’s no-one else understood.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He got himself into all sorts of situation, stuck in a hay net. He would quietly stand there and call out to me, to be rescued. If he felt sick he would tell me. Where I worked in the pastures he followed me like a dog, or play with the shovel, when I put it down imitating what I was doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In the end the “Devil” horse became a close friend that shared his fire and love freely. Then the day came that the farm was sold and I had no-where to go. Then in the end I had to sell my friend, the fire that helped me feel, my confidant, my best friend and my soul. It was the worst day of my life.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was hard to see horses on the TV or drive by farms and see them frolic. 3 years passed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then one day a friend called, “Love you have to come down here, they are going to put your stallion down as he is unmanageable. No-one can get anywhere near him”. So I raced down there. His new owners met me and they were at wits end. They loved him dearly, but after his accident, when he ran into a tree and ripped open his side at night, he wanted nothing to do with any of them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He stood in a smallish pasture, he was healed up, but his soul was hurting. I stood there by the gate and I wanted to cry, his fire was gone! He was unhappy, and depressed. He ignored everyone. Then I did as I have always done, so many times in the past I whistled his special whistle. He raised his head, answered and came running like he always had. He stopped in front of me looked at me, flattened his ears and said “Where have you been. Why did you leave me?” he turned and walked away. I was crying, as I felt his anger and pain, and I knew just how hard it had been on him, I understood his pain, as it was also my own.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I walk up to him where he stood with his back turned to me, but as I circled around, he kept turning his back on me with flattened ears. He was showing me exactly what he felt. It hurt, deeply.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>After the 4<sup>th</sup> attempt to reach him and he again turned his back on me, I said “FINE, be like that!” folded my arms and turned my back on him. 5 min later he slowly turned around and slipped his head under my arm. He said: “I still love you, why did you leave me? Why did you stop loving me?”</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It near killed me. There was not a dry eye at the fence; everyone felt that, and the sheer pain, hit them all hard. I just wrapped my arms around his neck and cried my heart out. There I explained to him, why I had to let him go, and why he can’t come home with me. I convinced him that this was the best place for him now, and that these people also love him. In the end he understood, and accepted it, he even walked up to them and allowed them to touch him again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>His owner looked at me tears streaming down his face and said: “In all my life I have never seen anything like that! Never!” I told them that he was not a horse, he was used to be treated like an equal, and if they treat him like that he will be more giving. They thanked me and I got in the car with my family and we left. Shetan watched us go, calling a last good bye. Inside I felt like the biggest, most horrid person there is. Yet I also knew that I can not bring him home.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8 months later his owners phoned me, they were giving up the farm, and they want me to have Shetan back. His words “There is no way this horse goes anywhere but home!” At that point I was living on a smallholding and I went and fetch him home. As I lowered the ramp of the box he walked straight in, looked back and said “Come on lets go home.” It was heaven to have him back, with his fire in tact.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We again experience the joy of our friendship, and he remembered all our games as if he has never been away. We played like we always had, and he did the show stance when I asked him to. We again spend hours discussing the complexities of life. Again my eyes were filled with his beauty, a beauty no-one else can see!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both of us had been through hell, but we found that we have grown, but the joy and pure love we shared was still there. 3 years later, I lost all I had, and I left him with friends, this time I explained everything and Shetan has taken this in stride, he is still with friends, and breeding beautiful babies. Yet I miss his fire, miss our friendship. Each time I go to visit, we spend time together talking. He is content to stay, and I know he is happy. He is living freely, running with joy and fire in his soul.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I know I have to sell him soon, and it is killing me, as I promised I would never sell him again. Now I have to break that promise again. It hurts, to know that as much as I love him, I can’t touch his fire as I have done so many times in the past. I visit him in spirit and we would race together. Yet that is never the same as running your hand over his muscled body, sharing your energy and love and speaking about the complexities of life to an old friend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On this day of love, I wanted to pay tribute to the greatest love I ever experienced. The love of an "animal soul"</p>
<p> </p>

<p>I wrote this last year, when I was going through some bad times:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Avinaa was sitting in her garden, feeling the effect of all that has transpired. This last battle, really left her rather shaken, saddened!<br/> <br/> Her life is so upside down right now, nothing makes sense!<br/> <br/> Today she just could not stop her tears; the sadness in her would not be stopped! Tears kept flowing from her and she tried very hard to stem the flow.<br/> <br/> Sam came and just held her, rocking her, he understood even if she did not understand, why this was affecting her so much! Dracion, Elron, Ceerack, the dogs, the fairies, all came and just sat with Avinaa and Sam. They also understood. When you start to release the hurt in your life, it is good to have friends that understand!<br/> <br/> The Almighty came and looked at Avinaa gently: “Avinaa, why are you crying?”<br/> <br/> Avinaa’s anger ignited, how can He ask a question like that, He knew very well, but then she realized that He wanted her to talk about it, by speaking the words she would be able to release it all!<br/> <br/> Me: “I am crying because I can, because I want to, because,… just because! I am crying, because I felt all the heart ache and pain that every soul here has ever experienced, when I held them during the battle. I cry for their pain, their loss. I cry for my pain, my loss, as well as everything Sam and I have suffered through, for them. I cry for what Sam and I have ever sacrificed for these souls. I cry for Ray, for the pain he has suffered, most of what seem so unnecessary! I cry because no soul here will ever realize how many has given their lives to keep them save. I cry because they will never know what their safety cost. I cry because no matter how much was sacrificed for them, I will do it again to save them. I cry, because I might never hold my son in my arms and kiss his pain away. I cry, because I might never wrap my arms around Raniak or ride upon his back. I cry, because I might never experience Raniak’s fire with my own eyes. I cry, because I want to walk out into the street and hug the first person I see and tell them I do understand their pain, even though they would think I am insane. I cry, because the souls here will never know how much they are loved! This Father is why I cry, this and because… I can!”<br/> <br/> Her body was shaking and even Sam had tears streaming down his face, frankly no-one there had a dry eye. Then she noticed that all of heaven had gathered in her garden.<br/> <br/> The Almighty: “Avinaa, your emotions are so much stronger than anyone here, so you experience all this so much deeper than us, but through this, it makes you fight so much harder to save every one of these souls. You are like a mother for all the souls here, something no-one till now have understood. To loose one soul is for you to loose your son all over again! Even when you discipline a soul it was always out of love not out of malice. You love so much that you have adopted every soul here as your own child. (The Almighty looked perplexed; they never really understood this girl till now!) We all see now!”<br/> <br/> Avinaa: “Yes!” tears still streaming “Yes! All the hurt they feel, I feel, Dracus has always said that this or that soul will never make it. I always believed that all souls have worth and I would spend more times with those other rejected. I believe like a mother in every soul here. Is one soul worth more than another? No, that is not right. Every soul has its path, even the dark ones, they just need the right amount of love, and instead all of you are hitting them with every bad experience possible until they loose hope. Why! Do you not see that beating them into submission has not worked this far! Where is the love, why have you all lost your love? Why when a person is down you withhold even more making them suffer so much more than was needed. Have I not showed you so many times that by giving a little at a time souls grow, yes they makes mistakes, so have all of us here. Look at what you have put me through, I made it through will, most souls are not as mature. They need more good things to happen to them, it raises their vibrations. This is also a reason I am crying like this. Look how deep the corruption has gone; it has even corrupted pure love!”<br/> <br/> Avinaa was shaking even more, and stopped to regain a little control! “During the battle and after in the Hall, when all was cheering, that was the first time, I have experienced real love, the love that all of you have forgotten. This is the love I feel for every soul here, x 7. I never want to loose one soul here, as I have lost my son. Every soul lost is a soul that has suffered, and their suffering affects the other souls, not always in a positive way. Yes, they have lessons to learn, but little rewards make their suffering so much more bearable. Do you see why I am crying! You all called me a monster, but do you understand why I was acting like one!”<br/> <br/> Shakily she got up, and went into the tree of life. She followed a tunnel with little stone lamps at intervals on the ground. Her tears have finally stopped, but the sadness was still very raw. She came to a cavern and in the cavern was a massive old silver Dragon, he was sleeping.<br/> <br/> Avinaa walked to his nose and sat down waiting. His eyes fluttered open and she looked into his ancient eyes.<br/> <br/> He: “Avinaa, old friend, it is a pleasure to see you again.”<br/> <br/> She just bowed. He was the first friend she has ever made eons and eons ago!<br/> <br/> He: “Avinaa you are sad, yet you have found your son?”<br/> <br/> Avinaa: “Was the price paid to find him, not too high old friend!”<br/> <br/> He: “No, a mother’s love will give all it has and more to save a child.” He laughed softly “You have paid dearly, but now you have many children. Do you remember the prophesy you were given at the beginning of your currant life path so many year back?”<br/> <br/> Avinaa: “Yes I do, I am finally seeing the extent of what was meant. The children of the lonely are more than the children of the married. Yes, I see that now, all the soul are my children now! They need a mother.”<br/> <br/> He: “Make your tent wide and do not hinder them when they make it larger!”<br/> <br/> Avinaa: “Yes, I remember!”<br/> <br/> He: You will break out left and right and your children will take over nations!”<br/> <br/> Avinaa: “All the souls are all the nations!” He laughed again softly.<br/> <br/> He: “and all that stand up against you will fall over you!”<br/> <br/> Avinaa, “Oh dear friend I realize all this.”<br/> <br/> He: “Then why are you still sad. Is it that you still yearn for something?”<br/> <br/> Avinaa “Yes, friend, I have been given so much, and yet my heart still yearn for my dream, maybe it is a silly dream compared to all this.”<br/> <br/> He: “Avinaa, be like the water element in you, flow like water and let it take you to where you need to go!”<br/> <br/> Avinaa: “Thank you friend for reminding me!”<br/> <br/> Avinaa kissed his nose and he settled back to sleep. She left quietly!<br/> <br/> Avinaa thought “Flow like the water and let it take you where you need to go! Yes, that is all I have left, fighting against all that is within me, gets me nowhere. The river is going to take me where I need to go, whether I like it or not! Stop fighting who you are, face where you are taken and push forward.” She stood there looking out at her garden, the sadness is still there, but it is a little more bearable! She has a great responsibility towards all that is, whatever she want, does not matter anymore!<br/> <br/> All that matter now is the safety of the souls in her charge! The life that she wanted will never come to pass, the life she was forced to submit to, is all that matter now!</p>
