The Riddle of the Sphinx…

The Sphinx is the propounder of the eternal riddle, the answer to which is “Man”.

All the Masters of Wisdom know, Man is the great mystery to be solved….

One of the symbols of The Age of Aquarius is that of the Sphinx with the head of a human and the body of a lion.

The sign of the Sphinx is divided into two zodiacal signs: Leo, the Lion and Virgo, the Virgin which together symbolize Spirit and Matter, Soul and Form— God-man.

This relates to the state of human evolution and the conscious realization of duality, therefore, Leo and Virgo together represent the whole man.

The sign of Aquarius, an air sign whose planetary rulers, esoterically, are Uranus and Saturn is that of the Man carrying a water pot, the water that the thirsty souls of humanity seek.  The body of a lion refers to the sign of Leo whose planetary ruler is the Sun which rules the spine and the heart. We must keep in mind that it was during the Leo cycle that mankind’s spine became erect and he was able to stand on his “own two feet”.  Leo’s polar opposite of the sign of Aquarius and rules the blood and the circulatory system through which the spiritual essence brings about the regeneration of the individual.

In this Cosmic and planetary cycle of Aquarius “Man” will come to stand on his own two feet, with an erect spine and an open heart circulating the intelligence of the Sun and unfolding the Divine Image of the God/Man.

Mankind will continue to move his focus and attention for his guidance from the “horizontal” of imperfect teachers to the “vertical” where his Soul will be his guide.

The supreme attainment of the identification of the inner Self of the human personality with the cosmic Self allow all the errors and distortion of the personality to be destroyed with the sword of truth.

The incongruous nature of the Sphinx, like the Greek centaur and the Assyrian man-bull are composite creatures combining human and animal elements.  They speak to the mysteries all signify: the composite nature of man with the higher and lower minds and the relationship between them.  They also subtly refer to the hierarchies of celestial beings that have charge of the destiny of mankind.

These hierarchies refer to the twelve holy animals known to us as the twelve constellations.  These star groups are only symbols of impersonal spiritual impulses.

Chiron, the centaur, symbolizes the intelligences of the constellation of Sagittarius and are the teachers to the sons of Man. These are the custodians of the secret doctrine while, geocentrically, the Sun was passing through the sign of Gemini.

The five-footed Assyrian man-bull with wings of an eagle and head of a man is a reminder that the invisible nature of man has the wings of an eagle, the head of a man, and the body of a beast.

This same concept is expressed through the Sphinx which has been known as the armed guardian of the Mysteries who crouches at the gates of the temple and prevents those who have not made themselves worthy from entering through the portals of Initiation.

The mystery of the Sphinx includes memory….

The solar plexus is the abdominal brain and holds the physical, emotional and mental memory of the personality which is the lower Self.  This memory is tainted by erroneous interpretations of one’s life experiences over many life times.

It is those erroneous interpretations made without the benefit of the perfect memory of the Cosmic Self which never forgets anything and oversees the precise unfoldment of the individual.  In the process of perfect recollection and identification of the lower Self with the Cosmic Self all false notions must disappear.

Mankind is now on the Return Path and on this path the memories of the lower Self which keep the individual in bondage and in confusion must give way to the perfect memory of the Cosmic Self.  This occurs through the alchemical process which takes place in the cells bringing about the destruction of false ideas regarding the One Life.

The inner sense of “hearing” the platform is pure reason is awakened leading to intuition. It must be noted intuition is not the same as psychic impressions and the auditory perceptions of the “voices” of the lower Self.

Intuition is the connection of the individual with the Cosmic Self and the auditory perceptions of the “Voice” to the individual reveal the thoughts in the mind of the Cosmic Self to the lower Self.   In this revelation, truth is known and the individual is able to understand a world that few are able to.

Many speak and very convincingly about a higher experience.  However, there is no permanence to this impressive talk.  All higher experiences, to be permanent, must be achieved as a result of a cellular alchemical process.  This process results in a regenerated individual who no longer believes or has faith in the Cosmic Reality, but as he is guided step by step toward an establishment of the perfect laws with his own Temple.

The perfect fulfillment of the law of freedom will lead him to become a “Knower”…

He knows he has no Will of his.  He also knows he cannot fail and that success is assured because his plans are that of the Greater Plan.  He feels within him the resistless urge of the Will, which others interpret as his own.

The body of the adept being built is by ideas and the field of his mastery is by speech, since, in the occult sense, speech signifies both thought and articulate sound. A Master of his Temple is one who knows the secret of magical speech.  He knows the vibratory values of certain combinations of sound and thought combined and builds a body that is resistant to every hostile external force.  This adept is the Master of the positive and negative expressions of the Astral Light symbolized by two Sphinxes, one back and one white.

The wise knows that to solve the riddle of the Sphinx all the pairs of opposites must be merged— Light and Dark, Good and Evil, Above and Below, etc.….

Only through the downward and outward flow of the Holy Influence of the One Self through one’s personality vehicle can liberation come. The liberated one does not deal in illusions or glamour.  His thoughts and speech embody the truth of Reality as opposed to the lie of appearances.

This is so because he has perfected himself in the art of occult speech he is able to transmit the knowledge of the True Self from the higher planes to the lower.

At the final judgment, when the veil is rent, mankind’s sense of antagonistic dualism will end. That which the Virgin Mother has hidden from expression for eons will be revealed, and the Cosmic Christ who mankind has waited for so long will be manifested on Earth.

When the nature of the world is revealed the mystery of the Sphinx will be over…

The Star Sirius…

The Star, Sirius…

Centuries ago when it seemed the arcane knowledge would be obliterated from the face of the earth, the world’s most renowned sages gathered in Fez, Morocco to create pictorial images to conceal the ancient wisdom teachings from those who sought to permanently erase them.  They knew this most important information needed for mankind’s evolution would be needed at a time when humanity was capable of comprehending its secrets.

These Kabalists of Hermetic tradition created what we have come to know as the Keys which consist of seventy-eight cards dived into two parts: The Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.

The Major Arcana consists of twenty-two cards or Keys and represents Cosmic Forces while the Minor Arcana represents Planetary Forces.  Within these twenty-two cards are the combinations of cards representing the twelve signs of the zodiac, the seven primary planets, the three outer planets, the four elements of Air, Earth, Fire and Water, the Archangels who control each element and the quadrant they represent and control, etc….

Each Key or card represents volumes of information.  Thanks to the work of the Piscean Age we just left, mankind now has the capacity to comprehend this treasured information…

With the benefit of the capacity built in the last age, the Age of Aquarius called the Age of the “Unveiling, “Revealing”, Uncovering” affords us the ability to de-code this arcane knowledge…

The Key the Ancients left us to represent this age is Key 17 called “The Star”.

The Key displays in the foreground the image of a Woman named Isis Urania who is nude…

 She is unrobed and revealed, and is the symbol of “Truth Unveiled”…

To put this image in context, She is the same woman represented by Key 2 called the High Priestess who is the Female Elder of the Temple, and in contrast to Key 17 is fully veiled and robed…

Key 2, the High Priestess holds a scroll of memory in her lap on which the seven Divine Laws are written and which holds the occult secrets of life…

She sits between two pillars, one black, one white..

She is the link and the reconciler between all that seem opposing…

Symbolisms are the media used by the soul to communicate to its messages to man…

He must have therefore developed the capacity to unravel the mysteries…

So one may ask: What was the High Priestess keeping secret and, what is Isis Urania now about to reveal?

The High Priestess is the first representation of Water and is the symbol of perfect memory and in particular, perfect recollection of the One Life who never forgets anything…

She is the Intelligence of Unity, Love and Wisdom…

She links and reconnects all that has operated under the illusion of separation…

She holds the secrets of the riddle of the Sphinx…

The riddle: Who is Man?

The visual images seen in Key 17, gives us a clue as to what we may expect to be unveiled in this Age…

A primary attribute of this Key is Meditation…

Occult meditation…

Defined as: “The unbroken flow of knowledge in a particular object”

The flow of water between the two vases alludes to that unbroken flow between the spirit of man and his personality…

And mankind shares in this great cosmic meditation that creates and sustains the universe…

We learn that all is natural…

What mankind calls spiritual is part of the natural reality of life…

He learns that nothing is supernatural…

And so the personality is the natural agency through which the divine energies express…

What is true then is that an advanced soul on the Path of Return does not in fact meditate but he is meditated…

When his personality vehicle is made ready, the unbroken divine knowledge flows through him…

The bodies and brains of humanity are what the One Life invented to allow the cosmic forces to find expression in a form that can be used for the work on the planet…

Nature brings everything that can be found in the Orb of the Sun to express through the personality vehicle of the human being making him a true expression of the solar forces and the embodiment of the solar system…

The personality of man becomes an integral part of the cosmic process…

Of Isis it is said: “No man removes the veil of Isis, but when she finds him worthy she will unveil herself to him”…

That unveiling occurs when mankind practices right meditation…

In Key 17 is a tree—The Tree of life — and in the background is the Ibis bird representative of Thoth or Hermes who is the messenger of the God to Man…

Prominently featured are eight stars, yet the Key is named “The Star”…

There and Seven and, then One…

The seven smaller stars are the seven interior centers called chakras, which forms the ladder with  seven rungs on each aspirant descends on his way down into the  world of sense experience through the five senses, and the same seven rung ladder on which he ascends in consciousness with right occult or esoteric training…

The Great White Lodge on Sirius works through the seven centers in the body and simultaneously through the seven planetary centers to accomplish its work on the human vehicle and the Earth as a planetary vehicle…

The eighth and biggest star is the Star, Sirius…

Sirius is called the Dog-Star or the star of Mercury…

What do we really know about Sirius?

NASA discovered back in 1953 that this star system does exist, but the Dogons in Mali, West Africa knew this a long, long time ago…

Their elders gave detailed accounts of their long standing relationship with Sirius A and B…

They explained Sirius as the overlords of this planet and guide its development…

The sages who met in Morocco centuries ago clearly knew this also and designed a Key 17 to reflect very prominently the impact that this Intelligence has had and will continue to have in the Age of Aquarius…

Other esoteric writings give us great insights into the role of Sirius in human evolution of which Masonry is the most significant…

The Great White Lodge on Sirius is the prototype of the Great White Lodge on Earth and modern Masonry is a distortion of that Lodge…

In this Lodge there is no separation base on gender, race, social standing and financial background…

Membership in this lodge is made so by spiritual regeneration…

When a true understanding of masonry is grasped, the restoration of the sacred and ancient mysteries will become a reality on the planet.

Though Masonry has been corrupt and inadequate it still contains within it the germ for future externalization…

The Great Sphinx of Giza which shows an animal with the face of a man and the body of a lion is the symbol for the Aquarian Age…

Leo is part of the Sphinx and the keynotes of this sign are individuality and true self-consciousness…

The lion is the king of the animal kingdom and man is the highest expressions of all the kingdoms of nature and Man alone is capable of bringing the animal nature under the will of the Higher Mind…

He is the link between the kingdoms above and the kingdoms below with the capacity to bring the divine intent to full expression in all the worlds…

Sirius is cosmically the ruler of the sign of Leo…

The sign of Leo, ruled by the Sun, also rules the spine and the heart…

The Age of Aquarius is one in which the individualism of the human entity is paramount…

Man’s relationship with his Higher Self is essential to his liberation…

The symbols of the face of Man, with the body of a Lion communicates that in this age where Sirius dominates, we will see mankind, develop a strong and open heart, a steeled spine and enter into a vertical relationship with his Higher Self, his true and only teacher, to establish him as the sovereign being he truly is…

Only then will he be capable of solving the riddle of the Sphinx, which is about the mystery of man…

Sirius has three major influences which are focused in the Star Regulus, considered the Heart of the Lion, to awaken the Head, the Heart and the Base of the Spine.  The changes impacted by Regulus in the body are under the influences of:

The Central Spiritual Sun— The Head

The Heart of the Sun— The Heart

The Physical Sun— The Base of the Spine, resulting in:

• The awakening of the personality to Soul control
• The awakening of the seventh or sacral center at the base of the spine where the Kundalini fire sits as a coiled up serpent.  With the soul working through the first or head center to fuse the higher forces with the lower forces, a new man is born.

Under the influence of Sirius two great mysteries will be solved in this Age:

1. The Mystery of the Sphinx which is one of the higher and the lower mind and their relation of each to the other.  The individual through his evolution now comes to a conscious realization of a recognized duality; this realization is what is described as the final judgment and it is that realization that will bring about a fusion of the higher and lower minds and an end to the antagonistic dualism experienced for too long. The scales will finally be turned in favor of Isis-Urania, The Regent Mother of the World, Third Person of the Godhead, Holy Spirit and Reconciler she has kept hidden for eons. The Mystery of the Sphinx would have been solved, when the whole man emerges as God-man and the relationship of spirit and matter is fully understood…
2.  The Mystery of the Lion and the Unicorn which deals with the mystic rising of humanity of which Masonry holds the key and is related to the consciousness of the initiate whose one-pointedness finally defeats the King of Beasts, the Lion, to finally bring his animal nature under the dominion of his Higher Mind.   Then will the mythical story of the king of beasts who become blinded and killed by the piercing of his eye and heart by the long horn of the unicorn be revealed

A welling up of magnetic forces on Sirius is producing effects on our solar system and particularly on the Earth causing a shift in its polarity due to great pull on the Cosmic Saturn Center.  It is this pull that is responsible for the earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions the earth is experiencing.  Together with the passing of the Sun out of the sign of Pisces into the sign of Aquarius and the end of the soul cycle of over 25,000 years, all this is bringing about great confusion and fear.  However, not to worry, all is in good stead and in divine order…

Two-thirds of humanity is in one of the stages of unfolding the Christ Consciousness. For the first time in Earth’s history, this great number is poised to bring about the end of duality and the beginning of a New World in which Oneness, Brotherhood are the hallmarks…

The Law of Attraction…

I felt compelled to add my voice to the much written and talked about “Law of Attraction.” It appears many are just delighted to know that a law exists that allows all their desires to come into their lives with the right focus!  Based on the scientific premise of the law, we know that is exactly what it does. However we focus the mind, we are able to move matter in that direction.

However, to shed some light on this law we need to understand where it came from.  The Law of Attraction was instituted at the beginning of time to ensure that the ‘Personality’ – the earthly vehicle made up of the physical, emotional and mental bodies – would find his way back together with his soul so the individual could be whole again.  It was intended that the purpose for which humanity came into evolution and the ‘experiment’ which was the foundation of Man’s play in matter, would also provide for his return so that he would not become lost in the illusion of Matter.

Mankind’s desire when he chose to come onto the plane of name and form was to immerse himself in matter, to lose himself in it and then remember the real reason for which he chose to come on the adventure.

In the Christian story of the prodigal son, the son went out into the world to experience everything he could not learn in the controlled environment of his home.  He needed to go out into the world and gave himself permission to experience all his heart desired in the world of form….and he did!  Then, as the story goes, he became so satiated with matter and, having had his fill, he decided to reverse his path and return home!  The path home is analogous to the Law of Attraction.  The Law of Attraction is in operation when the illusion of success, peace, happiness and wholeness is attained through matter ends and the individual turns his face toward symbolic Jerusalem, the Abode of Peace…

In the Fama Fraternatis of 1610, it is written of a German lad of high nobility of, who discovers that with all his wealth and position in society, he was in poverty.  Whether it is through this story and the point of cognition that led him to initiate his journey from West to East through the desert to Jerusalem, or the story of the prodigal son of the Christian story who left home on his adventure into the far country and who became immersed in matter and all it has to offer, each of us must come to ourselves after becoming satiated, reverse our steps and head for (re-)union with his soul to attain true peace.

Similarly, Jubela, Jubelo and Jubelum of the Masonic story and who respectively represent the physical, emotional and mental bodies, had the same experience as everyone eventually does.  Everyone comes to know that matter offers no permanent peace and that only through the reconnection of the personality to one’s soul, when the wandering is over, that through the benevolent “Law of Attraction” can sustainable success and fulfillment be achieved.

They who have walked the path to true fulfillment know that matter – the lowest form of spirit – must come under the dominion of spirit who created it, for the true order of things to be in operation.  When, through the Law of Attraction, the soul and the personality come back into union with one another, the desire nature changes and the thirst and hunger is for things that truly last.  This cannot take place however, until one’s fascination with gold is complete and he/she acquires the ability to see that gold was never what he was looking for.  Spirit cannot be manipulated to give you more, and, if you need more matter so you can be happy… matter  can do just that and take you to the ultimate of your illusion.

Jesus our wayshower for the Age of Pisces was and is the perfect example of what this journey is about… he had no money, no house, no land or formal education though totally learned, such that he could carry out the most profound discourse with the rabbis of the Sanhedrin.  He was never in need of anything and was the perfect example to Man, his life was simple!  But as we know, since he understood that when the law of attraction operates for the purpose for which it was originally intended, his physical obligations would be met.  H knew that this was the source – not the job, the wife, the husband, the inheritance, etc.  He walked the planet for “33” symbolic years to perfect the union of his soul and his earthly body to be able to say, when his process of Initiation was achieved —I and my father are one— the law of attraction had completed its work in him and brought about the result for which it was established.

In the union of soul and personality, there is no more wanting – matter and spirit are no longer alienated from each other, and as a matter of course, everything one needs in the physical world now responds to him because the “law” is now established in him and must respond to him to provide all he needs in the physical world.  The struggle with matter ends and instead yields to him in his consciousness. The pair of opposites — Poverty and Wealth— are now reconciled!  As the young German discovers by the time he completes his journey in Jerusalem, wealth is not the possession of gold, and poverty is not the absence of gold!

It is very unfortunate that religious dogma seems to suggest to its followers that the measure of how much one is loved by God and is successful, is the amount of material possessions or gold they can amass.  This absurd notion has caused mankind to define itself by how much he/she has and all his time is spent acquiring more and more possessions, leaving no time for the self-reflection and self-assessment that will lead to liberation from the bondage to form and ignorance.

The hand of Saturn, the celestial teacher, can be seen so strongly in the financial crisis the world is experiencing.  Humanity must turn his attention to the creator of matter and not be ruled by the matter he has created.  The current financial crisis is designed to cause a reversal in the mind so that Man embarks on his Path of Return, which is the goal of the Aquarian Age!  Man will come to know within his being:  Spirit is the highest form of Matter, and Matter is the lowest form of Spirit.  He will remember that his purpose here is to re-constitute his three lower bodies so he can house his Spirit who brought him into evolution to carry out its purpose.

The Law of Attraction, like any law, is neutral and will attract anything one focuses its attention on.  Man, the craftsman must bring about the alchemical process in his being, through right attention and right focus, that allows for the transformation in his cells to occur that will make him an acceptable vehicle for his spirit to come in and commune with him.  Only then can the true secrets of life and the mystery of who he is be revealed to him so he can achieve true wealth and lasting peace.

And that, is the true law of attraction at work.
