STONEFLOWER KABBALAH

StoneFlower Kabbalah
A site based on the healing of the ancient wisdom of the Geocentric worldview. The understanding of sacred texts and wisdom is based on a relationship to the Source. This Central Source is the Fount from which the three distinct movements of the Earth globe flow. These three turns-rotation,revolution and precession are a great secret/sod and key to the profound teachings of the mekubalim/kabbalists. These movements provide us with the experience of shanah/time, olam/matter and nephesh/soul(being). The Earth turn called precession is the slow wobble that causes the polar skies to change slowly over a 26,000 year cycle.
The chart of "72" names relates to this great cycle and is a key to unlocking where we are in "time".

Sacred Arrows and Ahavah/Love


Today we celebrate in America the beautiful, the refuge for many peoples over the centuries including the Jews who have been chased over the entire globe. We do celebrate the freedom to love. So here is the seal of these United States which holds the vision of the founders. YES! there is the mogen David, the Jewish star above the great bird of keen vision. The star made of thirteen stars. And the sacred bird clutches the thirteen arrows in her left talon. There is the olive branch in the other talon with thirteen leaves and thirteen olives, an ancient symbol for a true holy land of Yisrael. The ancient Jews differentiated the vast realm of soul into seven hechalot/palaces attached to the visible planets and the sun and moon. These encircle the Earth globe like layers of an onion. Each palace has a dimensional grid called a kamea/magic square. Here above is the kamea for the soul palace just above the sun which is the fourth encircling the Earth, This palace of Meadim/Mars is the next, the fifth. The natives call this palace the Red Lodge of initiation. There we see the number "13" enshrined in the center. This is the same number value(hebrew letters are also numbers) for Echad/unity and Ahavah/Love. The thirteen arrows in the talon also point to the sacred global wisdom tradition that the native elders have called the way of the bundling of the 'Brother Arrows',  This regarding a tradition that involves the unification of ancient soul lineages from around the entire globe. A tradition that is at the heart of tikun olam, the repairing of the world. This to bring in the global Peace. This we celebrate today. Oh yeah - and a little turtle talks Torah, for the scutes/plates in the middle of the back of the turtle shell, five down the center(chumash)surrounded by eight(covenant) equals the holy THIRTEEN.

The mystery of the Sar/Prince of Rome

This artwork of an ancient Roman legend of Pluto, Persephone and Orpheus, is a Rosetta Stone of sorts for the wisdom traditions. It also helps us in understanding the true shape of the world. In the aboriginal traditions all physical "elements" and things have a spirit being association in the other 'continuum" that the ancients called the soul/spirit world. In the western traditions some of these are referred to as angels(book of Enoch3). The key here is that the Roman deity of the under earth, the chief of the metals and wealth, is none other than the Sar, the angel prince of Rome. In the Hebrew lineage tradition there is an angel prince for every nation or language group. What makes the Sar of Rome so significant is that ,he is also a specific metal chief, sometimes these are referred to as the Seraphim. He is also connected to the one level of soul at the root level called nephesh. There are five distinct aspects of the human soul in the Hebrew tradition. The three persons in this painting all have distinct associations in the world of beings and planets and elements as well as in the popularly accepted realm of symbol and archetype. Music as Orpheus, the planetary spirit of Jupiter, carrier of the knowledge of the schools of Pythagoras and Plato is the great awakener here to the goodness of the world.

The New Planet is about a new world with a new Daat/Knowledge Dawning!


            This new "tenth" planet(Pluto is a real planet)being discovered may represent in the ancient Hebraic "map" of it all the quality called "daat" which is Knowledge. This is a a knowing of how it all is, the true shape of the universe and where we are in it.                     Dane Rudhyar, a famous 20th century astrologer predicted it would be discovered and that it carries the "seed" quality within Pluto's realm, and he related it to Persephone, the Lady who ate the 'forbidden fruit" of knowledge within the underworld realm of Pluto. It;s discovery aligns with the discovery of the true Center(and seed) of the creation. This new planet has a predicted orbit between ten and twenty thousand years which means it is in a synchronous pulse with the precesional wheel of the Earth, a 26,000 year cycle- the great secret of the ancient wisdom lineages. This is a whole vast order of magnitude in orbital cycle beyond the other planets.The Earth as embodiment of sky and the true center of the creation may be rediscovered with a little digging. The ancient Hebrew text the "Sepher Yetzira" has a map based on the Hebrew letters and ten vertices(endpoints)of a five dimensional worldview that has a place for all these new non naked-eye planets. It tells us that there are three "mother" letters and elements that are the aleph,mem and sheen. These have the qualities of three elements and the three distant planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. The seven double Hebrew letters correspond with the seven familiar celestial bodies(planets) of the ancients(the moon is the Earth soul, projected into sky). The twelve simple letters correspond with the zodiacal frame of reference. The "seven" and the "three" correspond with the nine planets and the sun and the ten omakim/depths popularly called sephirot/spheres. Therefore the new tenth sphere(planet) aligns with the mysterious eleventh sephirah called Daat/knowledge. So in this change of civilizations or worlds the "One" Source of the "three", "seven" and "twelve" is becoming known(Daat) in a new way.The ancient Hebrew text the "Sepher Yetzira" has a map based on the Hebrew letters and ten vertices(endpoints)of a five dimensional worldview that has a place for all these new non naked-eye planets. It is a treatise steeped in the math and geometry of the ancient schools of Plato and Pythagoras. The planetary spheres also involve qualities within the human being, the world of nature, and the elements, and their spirits. and so the key to the whispered mysteries of ancient temple building which aligns the human world with the divine 'shefa", flow of bounty, is opening up now.
 The three wheels in this ancient Hebrew medicine wheel(image above),printed in 1701ce. in the Sepher Eshel Avraham(The Book of the Tree of Abraham)aligns with the three ways the earth globe turns. These are rotation, orbital revolution, and precession. The central circle is the four metals- gold,silver,copper and iron and relates to what folks popularly know as the four yugas, world epochs, of ancient Hindu teaching. This turning of course aligns with the 26 thousand year precesional cycle. The discovery of the new planet is another sign that we are in a great change of yugas, or civilizations called Shemittot in Hebrew. All this is predicted in wisdom lineages within the great religions and aboriginal teachings.. And yes it all includes a global purification where the fearful, hateful shadow within individuals, nations, religions etc. is showing itself openly as essential for a real healing. refuah Sheleimah- Healing please and Shema-Listening to each other.

Finding the true shape of the Universe with ancient Hebraic and aboriginal worldview


 
 
Finding the Center and the true shape of the Universe with ancient Hebraic and aboriginal worldview: Incorporating the soul realm into modern transformational astrology: Self and Source: I and Thou:
When we work with the ancient Hebraic (and Egyptian, Arabic, Chaldean) and geocentric/aboriginal worldview, as well as following the development of modern personality and psychological/humanistic astrology(heavily influenced by Greco-Roman archetypes) a unique perspective may evolve. The ancients viewed the planets as markers of vast hechalot/heavenly palaces that surround the Earth sphere in onion like layers which is all related to movement/vibration. They viewed the Earth as a nexus between a physical universe and a far vaster and complex soul realm. We have the knowledge in a revealed form that the Earth is actually animated by three stupendous turning movements, rotation, revolution and precession, where our sun only turns in two ways, rotation and revolution. The truth of how the Earth globe moves was once a closely guarded secret in the mystery schools. Many people still do not understand how this works. With this we may fathom how it is that the Earth is actually in the center of the whole deal since she interfaces with three vast vibrational fields because of that slow precessional wobble of approximately 26,000 years.  It isn't a coincidence that it takes precisely that much time-26,000 years for light to travel to the galactic center from our Earth. This reveals to us that this third great movement of the Earth brings us into a synchronous pulse with the galactic center.  Although we may not directly experience this vibrational field interfacing this Earth movement we have a clue here as to where part of the soul realm may interface with the physical realm. The native elders say that when we die, "drop our earthly robes", we put on our robes that include the bigger medicine wheels of the spirit world.  In the ancient temple traditions humanity has and is undergoing transformations that are called initiations and these relate to our ability to access consciously the heavenly palaces. In the Hebrew initiation tradition of the mekubalim (kabbalists) these are called passages of the "Priest", "Sovereign", "Scribe" and "Judge". In this view we may see a global initiation right now involving the Hechal/palace of the Levanah/Moon. This may be called the Moon Kiva/temple within the Earth.


The Kamea/grid of the moon (image enclosed) is the most complex(there is a number grid for each of the seven "planetary palaces") with eighty-one seats/halls of initiation (small boxes within). It incorporates so to speak the forty-five planetary chiefs/(chayot in Hebrew) of the Saturn hechal(total value of that Kamea/square=45) with the thirty-six seats/sovereigns of the sun/shemesh grid which are star/solar beings. 45+36=81 The religions/prayer-forms that have followed the lunar calendars ( Jews, Moslems, Tibetans. Certain Pagans and aboriginals) have played a key role in unifying the soul tree/realm in the physical creation.  Along with the sacred solar calendar count of Christianity these various ceremonial calendars have played a big part in a global healing and awakening. . We needed thousands of years to cover this work called the magnum opus by alchemists. The ancient astrology includes the relationship to a vast and complex soul/spirit world which also interfaces with the nature spirits of the elemental “kingdoms” including plant, animal and mineral. The three outer “transpersonal” planets spoken about so much these days in modern astrology, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, are aligned in the Hebrew with the three letters called “mothers”(Sefer Yetzirah) and directly relate to the three ways the Earth globe turns as well as the octaves/spirits of the planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.  In the soul realm they involve the elemental chiefs called the Sarim in Hebrew. The understanding of the Sarim is a key to world events since these beings play a big role in the prophetic traditions including Islam. In Islam they are referred to as the Imam Mahdi, the Dajall and Isa. You may find hundreds of videos and Islamic teachings about these three although mostly with only a partial and "spinned" understanding of what they are about.
So we may see with the big aspects like Pluto square Uranus spoken of often in modern astrological circles a realigning of modern psyche based humanistic astrology(Uranus) with the very soul roots(Pluto) of the ancient religions and aboriginal wisdom traditions. We are in a global Earth soul awakening as grandmother Twylah Nitsch related in her book, “Other Council Fires Were Here Before Ours”.  This treatise explained about this “fifth world” of “Illumination” we have entered as the Mayans, Pueblos and others have predicted. The movement through the seven worlds explained in these Seneca oral teachings parallel the initiation through the seven Hechalot/Planetary palace heavens(see image of the seven grids with Hebrew numbers) and the seven underearths in ancient Hebraic teachings.

The Solar Year 2016 and the unfolding Peace

The sacred solar(Gregorian) and lunar(Jewish and Tibetan) calendars are paths for humans to connect consciously with the elemental chiefs(dragons/bodhisattvas in eastern lore) that cause the Earth to turn in three specific ways as well as manifest the world we experience.

The kamea/grid of nine digits(see images) holds the key as to how the synchronous merging of prayerforms over thousands of years by the global wisdom lineages has unfolded like a flower. This new solar year of 2016 is pregnant with great auspicious potential in our endeavor to manifest a global Peace. People versed in the Hebrew wisdom lineage will recognize the significance of the numbers 2-1-6 appearing in that order in the year 2-0-1-6 for the first time since the year 216 ce(times of Jewish sage Judah HaNasi, compiler of the Mishnah). This number is the total number of letters in the sacred 72 part(3 each) expanded name of the Source of love - 72X3=216. These "72" are the cover image of this blog of course. The sum of the digits 2-1-6 also equals nine. The magic of the "nine" associated with the elemental chiefs called the Chayoth HaKodesh/holy creatures in Hebrew, is being revealed in a new way. As in previous TurtleTalksTorah the intrinsic quality of the kamea of Nine is "15"- the value of each row,column, and diagonals. "15" is also a Hebrew name of deity(Yah) since letters are also numbers in Hebrew. The key here is that the square of "15" = 15X15=225 and with the year 2016 we are entering the 225th nine year period of the solar calendar count. (224X9=2016)The square of an essential value like the "15" may be associated with it's unfolding in a manifest form.  The intrinsic quality of the kamea/grid of nine of  the planetary Hechal/palace of Shabbatai/Saturn is both justice and Peace in the ancient Hebrew source texts. It is not by chance that we will be electing the "45"th CEO of the United States this year and "45" is also the total value of the Kamea/grid of Nine. For people versed in the aboriginal American wisdom tradition the Cheyenne elder "Sweet Medicine" was initiated by the hayoth HaKodesh in his vision cave experience at Bear Butte many centuries ago. He sat in the center (45th) of a circle of FortyFour great winged lightning chiefs and was given the brother arrows bundle of the Northern Cheyenne. He was the male counterpart to White Buffalo Calf Woman who appeared to the Lakota. He carried a soul root of the American continent and her peoples and the US government is built upon the Native cosmology with the supreme court of nine justices(nine underworld judges of the Mayan), the Eagle chief in Washington and the congress as the Lords of Light and Dark as they are called in Meso-America. To this very day the Northern Cheyenne Nation has a council of FortyFour peace chiefs as a mirror of the initiation of Sweet Medicine. Our present fortyfourth president has the Hebrew name for "lightningbolt" and so our transition to the Fortyfifth president holds auspicious potential for a great stride in revealing a real Peace. The pyramidal/triangular form of the Kameas(see image), the number grids, show the nine steps that culminate in the "45" at the bottom level connected to the physical.  The value of "45" is also the value of the Hebrew word 'Adam" as well as one of the values of the four extended ways of writting the tetragrammaton name(YHVH) and so we are in a full unfolding of the original soul root of all humanity. We are all family!

Thanksgivikah II and putting ENOCH back into Chanukah

This thanksgiving will be held on the night of the full moon of Kislev, the miraculous moon/month that Chanukah is celebrated. This celebration is about the dedication of the Jewish Temple called the Beith Hamikdash within our own homes and lands all over the holy globe of the Earth. The sacred oil called shemen in Hebrew is first mentioned in the Torah in the section where Jacob uses a special rock as his pillow in the wilderness and has his famous dream of the sulam, the ladder that connects heaven to Earth. This rock holds the secret of the true Eben Shetiyah, the foundation stone of the temple that connects heaven and Earth. Then he awakens and anoints the rock with the shemen/oil, this being a hint to the oil of the Temple and the holiday of Chanukah celebrated during the dark of the month of Kislev. This story is always read during the month of Kislev. The full moon is the same blessed light that we bring into our homes a few days later during the darkest days of the month and the shanah/year cycle.
The root of the word for Chanukah is Chanoch which is also the name of the first human shaman to understand the mystery medicine walk of the evolved human to a point that it is said that he walked fully with HaShem, the Source of Love. Tradition tells us that he became a very special angel called Metatron and all this happened before the Jewish religion historically began. By studying the planetary mysteries and other wisdom lineages we may understand that he visited other peoples and brought them the "knowledge of the East" as it I called in the Sepher HaZohar. He came to these peoples as the being called Vishnu in ancient India.(see the image of the Vishnu yantra with the Mogen David in the center) All the wisdom lineages are part of the holy tree of life that permeates the great Temple building tradition whose goal is to manifest the Peace that is in the heavens right here on Earth. May the blessings of the light of the sacred Shemen/oil bring the great Peace(with a capital P since this is a sacred name of deity in the Hebrew) to all of us here living in the Earth.

Jewish and Aztec/Mayan calendars, the Lunar Eclipse of Sukkot and the USA

Our times hold the auspicious beauty and bounty of a new synchronous cycle between the ancient Meso-American calendars and the priestly calendars of the Hebrew and Tibetan lineages. The priestly calendars are rooted in the Moon cycles and the planetary cycle of Shabbatai/saturn called Tezcatlipoca in the Aztec. The grid of the nine numbers called kamea(magic square)as seen in the Tibetan calendar image(in the center)is the key. It also unites the place of the USA and the american government in the great change we are experiencing. The nine little boxes are equal to the nine dark lords of the Aztec underworld and the nine judges on theUSA supreme court. The total value of the grid is=45 and we are now picking the 45th president. This square is related to the Hechal/palace of the planet Saturn in the ancient Hebrew worldview and this planet is all about JUSTICE. The Jewish and Aztec calendars are precisely 28 years apart in their sacred count of time since the "beginning". In August, 1987 at the harmonic convergence the Aztec calendar marked 5720 years and the Hebrew calendar was about to enter it's 5748th year. The 28 years difference is approximately the cycle of the planet Saturn, called Shabbatai in Hebrew, about the sun. We are now 28 years- about a full cycle of saturn since the harmonic convergence and the end of the Aztec count in 1987. Synchronicity has gone exponential. The moon hechal(palace)now holds what the Hebrews call the micono, the seat of the Source that in ancient days was reserved for the more "distant" hechal(palace) of Shabbatai/Saturn. The Moon and Saturn have an intrinsic day to year synchronous cycle/relationship- the Moon has a 28-30 day cycle and a 28-30 year cycle for Saturn.

The moon of the maaznyim/scales and the Shofar

TurtleTalkTorah for the moon of the scales, the maaznyim. Great secrets may be discovered when a person studies and truly listens to the teachings of wisdom traditions other their own path. Keys may be revealed that unlock mysteries. This is how it has been set up as a test. Aboriginal peoples have clan systems that involve the animals, plants, celestial bodies and elements. Rivalries in the socio-political arena may be mirrored in ancient animal rivalries as the photo here o...f the wasp laying her eggs in the still living but paralyzed abdomen of the spider. Spiders are great at weaving webs that catch mostly winged insects such as the wasps. Ancient Jewish midrashim/legends explain these rivalries culminating in the epic battle between two great "beasts", Leviathan/water and Behemoth/earth-fire. When their struggle ends Peace will manifest on Earth according to the legends. I have previously offered the possibility that the out of balance shadow animal of water is mirrored in the hatred and intolerance of religious fundamentalism. While the out of balance shadow animal of earth is mirrored in corporate greed. Ancient astrology because it is connected to the totem animal clans and the "elements" of the ancients holds some very good frames of reference in understanding how all this is playing out. We may particularly look at the three essential qualities in astrology called "cardinal", "fixed", and "mutable". For mekubalim/kabbalists these are the "three" causal level of the elements called the three "mothers" and relate to three special letters in the Hebrew. It is these three elemental qualities that the great animal clan rivalry concerns at a root level. "Cardinality" is the fire of beginnings; "Fixicity" is the water that holds and gestates and "Mutability" is the air that changes it all up. In my own understanding the wisdom lineages and their religious branches have been about the joining at the essential levels - the soul realm- of these ancient qualities/totems within the human world. Kind of like a marriage of royals that joins kingdoms and establishes Peace. The moon of the mazaniyim/scales-libra is about walking this balance. The Ram of the ram's horn(aries) holds the quality of cardinality=beginnings from the ocean. The turtle holds the quality of fixicity of the sacred soul lake. Lake and Ocean; wolf and lamb.

The Lady of the Frankincense, Turquoise and the Seven-Sabbath


TurtleTalktorah and the month/moon of Elul. The moon of the Betulah, the Star Woman(Virgo) who is called today the Sabbath Queen. She was known in Egypt as the Lady of the frankincense as well as the Turquoise woman. The Earth is an embodiment of all that is sky/heavens=shamayim. The Earth is a holy temple and we have here pictured three keys on how the sky aligns with the Adamah/Earthhuman to make goodness manifest in the human world. The blue zodiac/sky wheel is from the ceiling of the ancient Egyptian temple of Hathor at Denderah. This is a very special wheel that shows how the temple building is particularly aligned with certain stars. It also holds the secret of the slow processional wobble of the Earth that is the clock marking the rise and fall of civilizations and great epochs of history. The Hebrew Torah tells us that Moses was learned in all the wisdom of Egypt and therefore he carried the knowledge that the Earth is the sacred Temple of Initiation. This is what the Temple of the Sky Woman at Denderah tell us in precise ways. The chart pictured of the seventy-two Hebrew names is also derived from the Torah of Moses, from three verses where the famous dividing of the sea takes place. It is also an astronomical clock, as well as other things, the 72 segments are equaled to the five degree sections of the sky/Earth wheel called quinaries by astrologers. This contains information that aligns exactly with the sky chart at Denderah. For the 22nd of the 72 names(yod-yod-yod) aligns with the five degrees of sky/zodiac=15 to 20 degrees of the Crab that the temple is aligned with at Denderah during the years when the actual Teomim/twin stars of Gemini(beta and alpha gemini) ware also in that quinary. These stars called Teomim/twins are mentioned in the most sacred of texts of the Hebrew ketuvim/writings, Shir HaShirim, The Song of Songs. As the earth slowly turns over the 26,000  year precessional cycle the two stars of the Teomim/twins could be seen moving through the cycle of the seventy-two five degree segments. The Song of Songs holds ancient hidden knowledge of this cycle of global initiation. This is the famous song of love. The Sky Woman, the Betulah at Denderah was the goddess of Love, Women, childbirth, midwifery, music, ecstasy and all that is good. She was called the mother of the sacred SEVEN - who were the weavers of time. Her presence was there when the daughters of the pharaoh helped bring Moses out of the river. She has come to be known in the Jewish tradition as the Sabbath bride that ushers in the day of Peace.
Here is a poem to her from Normandi Ellis' "Awakening Osiris" a poetic translation of the Papyrus of Ani, an ancient Egyptian writing famous from the time of Moses and the story of the exodus.
"Hymn to Hathor" 
 
"Blue-lidded daughter of dawn, golden lady of the mountains, carrier of her father's wisdom, let an old man rest in your arms. Let him look last on love's face, breathing love's breath. I live in light a million years. The sun rises or sets now-it matters not. Here is ecstasy in death and certainty in life. We are gods in the body of god, truth and love our destinies. Go then and make the world something beautiful, set up a light in the darkness.

That light has been called the Sabbath for thousands of years.

TurtleTalk for Rosh Chodesh AV-the moon of the LION/aryeh








TurtleTalkTorah for the moon of the month of Av, the moon of the aryeh/lion. yes the turtle may roar this month. this especially since the NINE is big in this Hebrew month-the fast of the month is on the ninth day when Jews mourn for all that has been lost in their history, all the missteps, all of the nightmare. yet we just got pics sent back for the first time EVER of the NINTH planet and the date of this Hebrew year is tav-shin-ayin-heh which spells the word-tesha which is... the word for NINE. Yet this year the ninth of the Hebrew month of Av falls on the holy Sabbath, which is a remez/hint at something very good, so Jews who observe the fast do it on the tenth day. The most famous turtle in the wisdom lineages is that of the ancient Chinese sage Lo Shu(image enclosed) which has the box/kamea of NINE numbers-nine little boxes with the numbers one thru nine so that they express a beautiful pattern of symmetry and magic. as expressed in previous TurtleTalks this grid in the ancient Hebraic worldview corresponds with the sphere of the planet Shabbatai/Saturn and holds the power of JUSTICE among other qualities. The fast of the Ninth of Av is about the rebalance in experience between exile and redemption both inside and out-in the social-political and economic spheres as well as in individual religious freedom issues. Horrifically we saw NINE holy beautiful people martyred here in America, for their freedom to worship the Source of goodness and to just be the beauty that they are. They had welcomed the stranger into their house of worship-about the holiest action taught of in the Jewish wisdom of Torah. This happened as we completed NINE months of this Hebrew year whose number date is also the word for nine. The ashes of the the man who discovered the ninth planet flew by that globe precisely on the day that a nuclear peace deal of great importance was completed. The mission to Pluto took just over NINE years.That man lived in the state which is known as the home, the birthplace of the nuclear weapon.The discovery of the Ninth planet occurred precisely as the goodness of the world was challenged by a global force of hatred(1930) and we entered the age of the nuclear weapon. As stated previously the total value of the box/kamea of Nine is equal to 45(sum of the numbers 1 thru 9) and the United States is beginning the process to pick her 45th CEO. The box of Nine is also a mirror of the Nine seats on the supreme court of the USA(which holds Justice-the quality of Shabbatai) which has helped bring in some great miracles this year. The silent Turtle of Justice may be roaring if we could but listen just as the Ninth planet shows us her Heart of crystalline water in deep space. Live and Love, this Rosh Chodesh of the Moon of the Lion.

Heavenly Shoreshim/ROOTs Being Revealed

A big synchronicity(miracle) is happening as a spaceship will be sending back close crisp photos of the planet Pluto for the first time ever next week. This is the Hebrew month/moon of Tammuz which has the quality of "seeing"-Reyeah according to the Sepher Yetzirah. What is especially great is that the Sepher Yetzira explains the geometrical structure of the planetary world according to the Twenty two Hebrew letters and this includes a primary function for the Three "mother" ...letters - aleph/mem/sheen. I do understand that these three primary letters also correspond to the three distant invisible planets,(pluto-neptune-uranus) also the qualities of cardinal,fixed and mutable and also the three ways that the Earth moves-rotation,revolution and precession. The five naked eye planets and the sun and moon correspond to the seven "double" letters in the Sepher Yetzirah and the twelve remaining letters are the twelve zodiacal signs that are the frame of reference of the sky as an expression of the Earth. Earth is embodiment of sky and the divine.This actual close-up SEEING of the little planet pluto is synchronous with the revealing of the mystery of the three mother letters and the first letter of Hebrew- the ALEPH. The picture of the cube enclosed reveals how the letters, the planets and signs all go to create this cubic/physical olam/world. The cube has twelve edges-the months,tribes and zodiac;six faces and the center point=the seven- five visible planets and the sun and moon; and the THREE axis which correspond to Uranus,neptune and PLUTO. The basics of the Jewish religion are also found in the cube- the three axis are the patriarchs, the six faces are the matriarchs(four wives of Jacob and Sarah and Rebbeca) and the twelve edges are the Tribes. The eight corner points(vertices) is the covenant at eight days.The Center point is the Mystery of HaShem/Source. The sky is an outer projection of all that is the Earth and what she embodies, the circle of divinity-Shechinah. The secrets of the turtle and her colors are opening. So deep mysteries are being revealed close-up now. Good Shabbos of healing to all!

Pesach Red Moon

this beautiful ancient Egyptian time capsule of a wisdom painting holds a kind of knowledge for our awakening now. the folks that made this particular work of art did not worship animals in a way that some people think. they held a heart centered lineage tradition. the Passover actually celebrates a hand-off of the baton of sorts of priestly lineages dedicated to the flowering of the Earth. the ram headed dude in the center displays the fact that the essence quality he holds ...had not yet fully evolved within humanity yet - so we have an animal head on a human body. these three personages are a key to knowing who the mysterious three men who visited Abram and Sarai were all about. It also teaches us about the ram that was sacrificed in place of Isaac and his famous two horns. In these three we have here the essences of olam/matter, nephesh/being and shanah/time. astrologers call them the qualities of cardinality/matter-fixicity/soul and mutability/time. they are woven together with the three ways the Earth globe turns- precession/rotation/revolution. the ram head's helical horns/shofarim show us that this image is related to the precessional wobble of the globe that manifests the twin helixes above(heaven) and below(Earth). The lady nepthys is weaver of the Earth rotation, she gives us the dark blessed night and the waters of soul/being(moon) while the lady isis is the year cycle of earth-sun. It has all really been an ancient love story like shir hashirim/song of all songs. two lovers, one who holds the Night/leilah(wolf) and the other who carries the Day/yom(lamb) needed to touch. And so we have this Earth, this creation and this flowering. the image is from the book "Egyptian mysteries" by Lucie Lamy. Hag Sameach

What is the Foundation Stone? Part II:

Secrets of the Seven Day Week:(and why a Sabbath is so important)
 Secrets of the Seven Day Week:(and why a Sabbath is so important) The enclosed diagram gives over the secrets of our seven day week and the Earth centered worldview of ancient peoples. It also explains why the ancient wisdom tradition established our week and the order of the days.
Part I: The mathematics of the circle makes the division by seven parts yield an irrational fraction. The sacred circle of the seven day week has the goal of embodying the (irrational)mystery of the sky/shamayim fully within the Earth. Seven is the only number of the ten whole digits that has no factors out of the lesser numbers and or produces no products out of the greater numbers.
The order of the days of the week is explained by this diagram. Each magic grid and "planet" is in the order of their apparent motion in the sky. The slowest starts in the bottom left corner with Saturn and the smallest 3X3 grid and the day Saturday, and the apparent speed increases and the size of the grids increases as you go clockwise around the circle. In the ancient worldview these are the planetary heavens that encircle the Earth as sheaths like that of onion layers. The heaven of Saturn is the outer(upper)most and the heaven of the Moon is the closest.To discover the secret of the order of the days of the week you need to place your finger at "Saturn" in the lower left and trace along the line of the star up to the "sun" - Sunday and then along the line down to the "moon"-Monday and so on. This is why the days are ordered as they are. to be continued......

What is the Foundation Stone?


What is the foundation stone?

The eben shetiyah is the Hebrew name for the foundation stone in the Hebrew wisdom tradition. It is the place where the heavens-shamayim and the Earth-haaretz meets in our physical world. It is also a key to our new epoch/world and the true shape of the cosmos.  In Europe it was known as the "axis mundi" or world navel and in ancient America it has been called the Sipapu by the Pueblo peoples. The simple language of astrology in it’s ancient Hebraic and Ptolemaic form provides an opening to understanding what the eben shetiyah is about and why it is important to us today. A big part of the ancient astrology that is missing so to speak from modern astrology is the dimension of soul-nephesh and how this interfaces with time-shanah and space-olam. This has been replaced in a sense by archetypal “energies” and patterns built from Jungian depth psychology where the psyche/mind has taken the place of the reality of the ocean of soul. The realm of soul  is actually  a whole and primary dimensionality along with space and time whereas in the new modern view  it has been replaced by the psyche/mind which is viewed as only a byproduct of biological animal evolution and a secondary development out of time/space. This displacement of soul with psyche and the schism of worldview created by a misunderstanding how the ancient scientists and thinkers understood the geocentric model has made for a great mix up of the ancient truths about the shape of our awesome creation. A further mix up has been the personality based modern astrology that uses archetypal patterns related to the Greco-roman mythology and their gods which in most cases does not incorporate the true essential qualities of the planetary spheres. We must remember that in the ancient Hebraic worldview the planetary spheres were really understood as spherical onion like layers with the Earth at the center. The physical planets were only localized condensations of these planetary heavens. The Sepher Yetzirah gives us the true qualities of the planetary spheres and this is a big opening in a truer understanding of the “map” or bigger topography of the cosmos.

 
We may repair the worldview schism by using the basic “map” given to us in the Hebrew primer of the wisdom tradition called the “Sepher yetzirah” and the basics of Ptolemaic astrology along with what astronomy has revealed to us through recent historical discoveries. To simplify all the elements so this post is not too long the book tells us that the number values THREE/SEVEN/TWELVE are a critical pattern that corresponds to the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet as well as elements in astrology. In traditional astrology these are the THREE- Triplicities of cardinality, fixicity, and mutability. The SEVEN- are the five visible planetary spheres and the sun and moon. The TWELVE- are the zodiacal signs which are the frame of reference of the wheel created by the Earth’s tilt and revolution about the sun. The secret to how this basic frame of reference reveals where the foundation stone is and the Source of it all, is in the three recently discovered non-naked eye planets – Uranus/Neptune/Pluto.

What we may learn from the aboriginal understanding of the cosmos is that the sky is only a projection of the of what the Earth holds. The key to this is in the THREE ways that the Earth moves- rotation/revolution/precession. These THREE connect us to the THREE triplicities in traditional astrology, the three “mother elements” in the Hebrew wisdom and the THREE outer planets discovered since the use of the telescope. The THREE realms of the creation – soul-nephesh, time-shanah, and space-olam are mentioned in the Sepher Yetzirah. These are directly connected to the three movements of the Earth globe. These three ways that the Earth turns have been a great secret in the mystery  because the processional wheel  is so slow that it took multi-generational records of astronomical observations to understand it.

This brings us back to what is the Foundation Stone of the physical creation? – where the heavens and the Earth meets. This sacred pace called “Makom” by the mekubalim/kabbalists was at one time in the land of ancient Judea for the Hebrew people at the site of the first holy temple and it has occurred at other places for different peoples around the Earth. It is not only in one place and geography is not the only determining factor. We will continue this for the next post. To really get the gist of this a person must understand the above ideas well.

Where is the Eben Shetiyah?



unusual to hear a Pueblo elder speak for a couple of hours on the "raw people"- spirit beings and the indigenous wisdom teachings. especially good for his references to the "sipapu or shipapu". this is the birth canal that connects worlds or realms. In the Hebrew this holds the mystery of the Eben shetiyah - the foundation stone that connects the shamayim(heavens) to the sacred Eretz(Earth), the mystery of the holy beith hamikdash-temple. the fighting over "sacred places" will cease when the truth of what this is about is understood and the entire Earth is respected as a sacred temple. soon please

The One Source we call HaShem

HaShem is the UNIQUELY original Source(soul);Center(makom-space)and beginning(ziman-time) seed of the tree/Etz Chaiim of all that is. As unique individuals our relationship to Source/HaShem may inform us as to where we are and who we are. ich und du

In counterpoint(for my tree hugging pagan friends) how is HaShem one/united with the Shechinah? this is where the real secret/sod of the mekubalim rings in. for the ways the Earth sphere moves/dances was always a closely guarded secret for the wisdomkeepers. Her rotation manifests as day and night(soul); Her revolution(about the sun) manifests as time/shanah-the seasons(light and dark) and Her precessional wobble manifests space/makom(heaven and Earth,tohu and bohu,morning and evening. these you will hear as the ten omakim/depths(sephirot) listed in the first words of Torah.

The sacred Makom/place we have  now is related to what is known as the Eben Shetiyah, the foundation stone of the Beith HaMikdash HaShleishi- the" third holy House" or sanctuary. this is a time/place/soul where all the three "holy of holies"- kadosh kadoshim of time/shanah, place(space)/makom and soul/nephesh are unified in the physical world.

Astrological Natal Chart of Moses

Within this incredible piece of art from the famous ancient Egyptian papyrus scroll of Ani dated precisely at the time that the Jewish scholars tell us was the time of the life of Moshe Rabeinu can be found a precise astrological birth chart. I will be adding pertinent information as we move through a new cycle, a new "Shanah" of the Hebrew calendar to explain the message and knowledge contained in this piece of art. It helps recapitulate the ancient geocentric worldview of the ancient peoples including the Hebrews and the Egyptians. The roots of an ancient wisdom are revealed in this picture as well as the "wisdom of Egypt" which the Torah tells us Moshe was fully schooled in as an initiate. It contains the basic radical knowledge of astrology and the five dimensional world including "Soul". It also reveals  the importance of what the mekubalim/kabbalists call the "Shemhamphorash", the famous seventy-two part name of the Divine Source which is found in the Torah Sefer Shemot. It  reveals the true shape and center of our Olam/universe and the nature of the Source of all life. A full understanding of astrology in the ancient Earth centered form as well as the planetary hechaloth/palaces and the hebrew letters as they all relate according to the wisdom of Sefer Yetzirah are the keys to unfolding the wealth of this artwork and time capsule.This scene commonly known as a "judgment" or weighing of soul scene is also the depiction of initiation of a judge in the temple tradition. The five levels of soul roots that make up the complex of the human being according to mekubalim are all included in the picture. the enthroned "osiris" in a "cocoon" of falcon down is the individual neshamah soul, the twin goddesses are the nephesh(nepthys) and Chayah(isis) root souls. the other two "soul roots" - ruach and yechidah are there as well, the ruach in the falcon hovering and turning with the sky wheel "above". The yechidah is superbly hidden as in the the name of "72" herself in torah. It is quite a complete teaching that is inclusive of other popular prayerforms and even reveals their work in building the big temple Earth. It is linked to the email teaching above from the rabbi in discussion of what a "sukkah", a tabernacle is and what we are celebrating during this moon of tishrei.
This art/book picture is the proverbial "sword in the stone". The aggadic story has the Mateh shel Moshe, the scepter of Moses sojourning in miztraim/Egypt in the house of the pharaoh man and being taken by Reuel the priest of Midian and placed in his backyard where it could only be removed by the man worthy to be his daughter's(Zipporah) husband. Only Moshe is able to remove it from the ground where it is rooted. Likewise only a Sovereign initiate Arthur of the pen-dragon, and his Knights of the great wheel could find the sword of Wisdom painted on this Papyrus of the "Book of Going Forth By Day".
To really understand the above picture it helps to view the world as a grand temple of initiation - we are all on this path - uniquely our own journeys. the old schools understood at least four different kinds of initiation- priest/shaman, sovereign, scribe and judge.
Tishrei 11, 5774:this is the Rosetta stone of the mystery traditions. for those who understand the basics of ancient earth based astrology= the triplicities(cardinal-fixed-mutable which relate how the Earth turns-rotation,revolution,precession), the four "elements",the twelve part circle(center=thirteen)of spatial reference and the seven "heavenly hechalot"/palaces and their chiefs we have a map that explains the "SHAPE" of the creation. The mekubalim will use the sepher yetzirah to reference the basic "alphabet" - the one-three-seven-twelve. the qualities of the seven as given in the yetzirah-Peace,Grace,Dominion,Seed,Wealth,Wisdom and Life are the materials with which we build the SUKKAH that is our Temple Earth. The three obvious "dieties" on the papyrus are along with being three of the five soul roots that make up the human being are also the triplicities of astrological wisdom. this is a key to match up the "uraei"/serpents which represent the wheel of astrological longitude. Initiation involves building our own Sukkah.This is refuah sheleima.

The place of the "third temple" and the Para Adumah mystery solved

The most enigmatic of ancient Hebrew ritual is that of the Para Adumah, the making of the red heifer. Even Solomon with all his wisdom admitted to not being able to understand this. We now may understand that this was an attempt to "complete" in a way the Hebrew prophetic Temple tradition which could only be completed by a full global migration/diaspora and the discovery of an ancient wise people on the other side of the ball of the Earth who have a ceremony that explains the "making of a red heifer". (The Sepher HaZohar makes a point in folio three of stating that there are a "people" who live on the opposite side of the Earth where it is day when it is night in the middle east and night when it is day). These people have what is called the "Throwing of the Ball" ceremony, they are the Lakota peoples. The divine presence, the Shechinah herself, the spirit of the fresh water, visited these people thousands of years ago with the sign of one of the faces of the Ophanim(Ezekiel's vision) as a pure white bison calf, hence her name White Buffalo Calf Woman. This land of the Rocky Mountain Range is so sacred to have been visited by the Shechinah that this also solves another mystery. This concerns Jacob's dream with his head upon the rock and the famous ladder of angels. Actually the ladder went through the middle of the ball of the Earth and the heaven world(and the olam haba, "world to come") was the mountains of North America on the other side. Here is the telling of the Throwing of the Ball ceremony where the ball is the divine mystery in the shape of a ball of red buffalo fur.

"
Throwing of the Ball Ritual - Tapa Wanka Yap:
"In Native American philosophy the fundamental interconnectedness an oneness of all beings forms the basis of all other aspects of their understanding of the universe. Therefore, any cause has its effect both on the entity involved, as well as on the whole, and events never stand isolated. Living and acting in harmony with the Great Spirit is the basis of all ethics. It saves one from harming others and oneself, leading ultimately to a return to the Great Spirit, from which we all come, and to wholeness instead of loneliness or separateness."
Plains Indians teach their children to cease thinking and acting for the sake of one's own gain, but to think and act for the betterment of their family and tribe. They tell them to "Do right, because it is right, and not to gain for yourself." When they do the right thing the Great Spirit, Wakan Tanka knows and sees that it has been done correctly.
"The American Indians hold sacred the virtues of truthfulness, courage, generosity, and reverence for life. They practice direct communication with the Great Spirit, whom they call Wakan Tanka, through seven sacred ceremonies. As told by Black Elk to Joseph Epes Brown, these include:"
The Throwing of the Ball Ritual is done only by the traditionalist Native Americans, if its done at all any longer. The ritual is only one of many rituals being lost to posterity and many young people do not even know of it.
The ball represents Wakan Tanka or the universe. The game symbolizes the course of a man's life, which he should spend in trying to catch the ball even though the odds of catching the ball are against him.
A Lakota man named Moves Walking had the vision describing this rite but did not speak of it until much later when High Hollow Horn had a dream telling him Moves Walking knew of a seventh rite from White Buffalo Cow Woman that should belong to all the people. High Hollow Horn went to Moves Walking and told him of his dream so Moves Walking agreed to share his vision.
A buffalo skin ball filled with buffalo hair that is first painted all red representing the world. Blue paint (representing the heavens) is used for the four dots that are made at the four quarters. Then two blue circles are made around the ball to make two paths joining the four quarters. This painted buffalo ball represents the material and spiritual aspects of the universe.
The following items are used in the ceremony besides the ball; a pipe, kinnikinnik, sweet grass, a spotted eagle feather, knife, hatchet, sage, bag of earth, red and blue paint, a buffalo skull and a food rack painted blue. Each of these items are used in ceremonial prayers before the players begin the game.
The ritual uses four teams and four goals. Each goal was set on one of the four sacred directions; east, south, west and north.
A very young Sioux girl stands in the center representing Wakan Tanka as eternally youthful and pure with no darkness. She also represents the first stage of the four stages of  life and Mother Earth and future generations. She throws the ball to each goal and everyone at the goal scrambles to catch the ball. Only one of those trying to catch the ball will end up with it.
The goals represent that Wakan Tanka is everywhere, including all of the four directions.  Then the young girl throws the ball straight up into the air and all the teams try to get it. This represents the power from Wakan Tanka that descends on the people. When one person finally has possession of the ball it is given back to the young girl. The ones that catch the ball are given a valuable present such as a horse or a buffalo robe. These five winners represent the few people who reach a special closeness with Wakan Tanka even though many seek that closeness.
To receive a great blessing, each of the people participating  must choose to reach for the ball, while acknowledging or understanding that not everyone will be able to catch it. After the five catches of the ball, a prayer of thanks and acknowledgment is made and Wakan Tanka is asked to help the people retain its relationship with him and help them walk the sacred path without ignorance.
Then everyone sits down to a huge feast of traditional Native American food.
Native American wisdom is present in all of the tribes and passed on in many ways. But it is a shame to lose the old, traditional ceremonies and the understanding of why they were done.
According to Black Elk, the Throwing of the Ball is the 7th and last of the 7 Sacred Rituals given to the people by White Buffalo Cow Woman."
In the final paragraph of the book and of this rite, Black Elk says:
“At this sad time today among our people, we are scrambling for the ball, and some are not even trying to catch it, which makes me cry when I think of it. But soon I know it will be caught, for the end is rapidly approaching, and then it will be returned to the centre, and our people will be with it. It is my prayer that this be so, and it is in order to aid in this “Recovery of the ball”, that I have wished to make this book.” From the book "The Sacred Pipe" and the internet site www.earthpeople.org

the Chumash= the sacred Five

the "pivotal" moment in the mystery of history at the Oak of Mamre. one may come to understand who these five are by using the medicine wheel teachings and placing them in the circle. they are the ten omakim(depths/sephirot). every religious tradition has and is a spin on particularly who the "three strangers" are. a thorough understanding of aboriginal teachings and the ancient greek mystery schools are a big help on the truth. as we approach the full moon of the month of the
Teomim(sacred twins) we may hear the music. the hum of the axis of the Earth which is peace. (zeus celestius(melchizedeq/quetzalcoatl))zeus infernis(melchiresha/tezcatlipoca)zeus oceanus).
the ten omakim/depths:
Zeus celestius=keter/tipfereth
Abraham=Chesed/netzach
Zeus infernis=geburah/hod
Sarah=binah/malchuth
Zeus oceanus=chokmah/yesod

Jewish year "73" and the third temple appearing

"In the 73rd year, all the kings of the world shall assemble in the great city of Rome. And the Holy One, blessed be He. will shower fire and hail and meteoric stones upon them, until they are wiped out from the world. And only those kings who did not go to Rome will remain in the world."Zohar Vayera 119a. This ancient Jewish prophecy of the Rashbi contains the last year actually named in the book, the year "73". Our year is a "73" year-5773 and all the "elements" mentioned in the vision are found to be happening. It uses the ancient capital of tyranny for the Jewish people(Rome destroyed the second temple in 70ce) as symbolic of the old global paradigm of tyranny and imperialism. The "elements" of fire,hail and meteorite are also related to the fire,water and thunder of aboriginal cosmology. These three elements are  found in the native american wisdom tradition and also are related to the three sarim/angelic princes of the kabbalists which cause the Earth to rotate in her three forms, these are explained in the book Bahir. The elements of the change in worlds are all there in that verse of Zohar but how they are working/manifesting to great change is related in another verse of Zohar - Balak212b.This is one way the author of the Zohar hid these special prophecies from anyone not initiated into the mysteries.
."On the day that the star is gathered, the Holy Land will shake for 45 miles from all around until the place of the Temple. An underground cave will become revealed, and from that cave will go out a fire that will burn the world. From that cave a great and elevated branch will sprout and it will control the world." Zohar Balak212b. This underground cave is a deep hint at the true nature of the eben shetiyah, the foundation stone of all that is and the true place of the third sacred temple now manifesting in our world. The "fire" emanating from the cave is one of healing and blessing. The "45" as related in earlier posts refers to the kamea/number grid of the planetary hechal/palace of Shabbatai/saturn and it's related metals and substances.This is all built on the ancient Hebraic geocentric world view and the  work of the mekubal/kabbalist in "lowering" the micono/seat of the Source from the palace of Shabbatai into the physical Earth. Below is an article about the birth of a white buffalo at the "eastern gateway" of America that presaged this very year and the great changes happening.

White Buffalo Calf Named Yellow Medicine Dancing Boy Amid Fire, Water and Thunder
Gale Courey ToensingAugust 06, 2012
GOSHEN, Connecticut—A week after a crowd of more than 1,000 people from all over the country flocked to a ranch in northwestern Connecticut to witness a naming ceremony for a sacred white buffalo, the baby calf named Yellow Medicine Dancing Boy and his mom were peacefully grazing in the back pasture.
Everything was back to normal at the Mohawk Bison Ranch, owner Peter Fay said on Friday, August 3, a week after the Saturday, July 28 naming ceremony. “I expected that many people to come,” Fay said.

Fay is not a Native but has opened his heart and mind to the Lakota beliefs regarding the birth of a white buffalo and to the Lakota people who traveled from across the country to conduct the naming ceremony. The Lakota say that the birth of a white buffalo—which happens once in every ten million births—is an intensely sacred event. They say it’s a manifestation of the White Buffalo Calf Maiden, or Ptesan Wi, who is revered as a prophet. In a time of famine, the Maiden taught the Lakota seven sacred rituals, including the sweat lodge, and gave them their most important symbol of worship, the sacred pipe. The birth in Goshen was so important that Lakota Medicine Man Steve Stonearrow traveled from California to conduct the ceremony. Lakota elders Chubb and Marian White Mouse, Marian’s brother Wilbur Leon Old Man Morrison, and Shirley Khabass, traditionalists who follow the Lakota ways, travelled from Pine Ridge and elsewhere to join him. A local couple who are relatives of the White Mouse family and have participated in the family’s sun dance for years also participated in the naming ceremony. The couple, who asked not to be named for privacy reasons, were responsible for getting the word out to Indian country about the white buffalo birth. Fay too was among those in the group that performed the ceremony. “It was cool," he told Indian Country Today Media Network. “It’s so good to be around Steve. He’s amazing and he makes everything feel so easy. If you tumble a little bit, he knows it right away and fixes it. The same with Marian.”
A few hundred invited guests, mostly Native, stood at the entrance to the pasture where the ceremony took place, around 50 yards away, behind a wire fence with a gate. Fire keepers kept smudge pots lit at the gate post, and at a sacred fire built under an arbor in the pasture where the ceremony took place. Singers and a drum were nearby. The rest of the crowd stood in a separate pasture behind another wire fence.
The night before the naming ceremony, Stonearrow, the elders, and others participated in a sweat lodge and a ceremony called lowampi—a night prayer to call the spirits, who gave Stonearrow the white buffalo calf’s name.
During the naming ceremony, thunder rumbled, lightning cracked and a downpour of rain drenched everyone. Marian White Mouse welcomed the rain as a blessing. There’s drought back home in South Dakota where people are breathing the smoke from wild fires, she said. She said the birth of the white buffalo brings hope to a world that needs healing.
The thunder was perhaps even more appropriate to the occasion: Stonearrow, the medicine man (pejuta wicasa) and holy man (wicasa wakan) is a heyoka medicine person. Heyoka means sacred clown. The sacred clown in Lakota tradition is the person who is upside down, sideways, backwards, goes against the norm and is there to help the people see themselves, Stonearrow told ICTMN. And the heyoka’s teachers are the Thunder Beings, who provide all ceremony to medicine men.
Two ceremonies took place in the rain and thunder, Stonearrow said. “We did the hunka, which is the making of a relative, and we did c'aje tun pi, which means to give birth to a name.” Stonearrow said the large crowd came “because they’re looking. They’re looking for their faith, they’re looking for something to believe in. And the birth of a white calf in some prophecies is the foretelling of the White Buffalo Calf Maiden’s return,” he said. “But you don’t need a white calf for her to return; she comes back all the time.”
