Jewish year 5772 and Tibetan year of Water Dragon

Synchronistic calendar harmonies are showing us the unfolding flower of a new world. The Tibetan calendar pictured here shows the Three Sarim, forms of the great Hebrew angel celestials that cause and govern the movements of the Earth globe. Imbedded in this calendar is the means for what jews call tikkun Olam(as a noun/event)the realigning of the world in more intimate connection to haShem/Source of all. This calendar is actually like the traditional Tree of life of the mekubalim/kabbalists set on three columns and intricately interconnected. To the top left we see the image of Manjushri, the bodhisattva(angel) of wisdom/Chochmah and the planetary chief of Tzedeq/Jupiter. To the right is Rudra, the chief of the desire realm/Geburah and the planetary chief Meadim/Mars known as Vajrapani in sanskrit. In the center is Tara,the female consort of Avilokeshvara/Understanding, the planetary chief of Shabbatai/saturn(Binah as the upper mother who governs the entire wheel of time. The shift that has been prepared for for millenia is that the chief of meadim/Mars has moved to the top of the center column. This prophecy has been predicted by the ancient Tibetan teachings about the appearance of the holy city of peace called Shambhalla.
In the center of this calendar is the Kamea/Kabbalistic box of Shabbati/Saturn which is the key that connects it all together in the Omak/depth of Binah, the upper mother. The three Sarim include the mysterious one called in tibet Vajrapani, Bodhisattva of magic and power who the Jews call Eliyahu/Elijah and the Moslems call Khidr/green man.
The Tikkun is accomplished celestially and the we can see the changes happening all over the globe. The three columns to coincide with the three realms of the Book yetzira, Time(Tara); Soul(manjushri)and world/Space(Vajrapani). These are also called Karma/Saturn; Dharma/Soul/Chesed-Jupiter and Kama/Desire-Mars. The angels of Kama have all been gathered in so to speak in the language of Zohar(72 solar guardians) and individuals are now newly empowered in their lives.
We are now approaching the Rosh Chodesh of the month of the Holy Temple, Chesvan and the consecration of matter/space-Olam which is the column on this calendar above to the right that has shifted to the center. These are exciting days- baruch HaShem!

Aveenu (Malkenu): Hebrew and Tewa for Source

"Avanyu (Tewa meaning “water serpent”) is commonly depicted on San Ildefonso and Santa Clara Pueblo pottery. The IPCC logo designed by Stella Teller of Isleta Pueblo for the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, and trademarked (or copywrighted). The Avanyu symbolizes the importance of water to indigenous desert cultures. This symbol is also associated with lightning as shown by the serpent’s tongue. The upper semicircular portion of the logo represents eagle feathers. The smaller enclosed and crosshatched semicircle is also a rain symbol. The crosshatching represents rain and the upward directed semicircle is a traditional cloud symbol."

the native American elders new global migrations were completing when the predicted priestly peoples from over the two oceans arrived here on turtle island. the migrating Tibetans and the Hopi pueblo people found that their words for sun and moon had sounds in common. their lands also are exactly opposite on the globe. the same can be understood with the Hebrew priestly people and the Tewa speaking pueblos of the Rio Grande valley. the source of water and therefore life herself is called Avanyu - plumed water serpent for the Tewa Pueblos and this time of year the Jews all over the globe address the Source of water and all blessing, in the Hebrew as Aveenu - our parent. the completing of these prophesied global priestly migrations marks the dawning of a new epoch for the various Native and Meso- American cultures as well as Jewish, Tibetan and many other wisdom streams around the globe. This new "world" involves what the native elders call the discovery of "Sipapu" in Pueblo language, a new birth canal that has opened. This change of epochs or "worlds" or "suns"(in the mayan) means that a certain sacred substance that was part of the miskhan/sanctuary of the ancient Hebrew peoples has been rediscovered. The pueblo peoples of America have known for centuries that peoples from across the globe would carry a special substance with them that would mark the completeness of a global wisdom work and a new relationship of humanity to the central Source of blessing.

Grandmother Spider, the Planet Venus and the Dawn of Peace

The ancient astronomers found associations between the visible planetary spheres and number grids called Kameas or magic squares.These mathematical "novelties" help students of the old geocentric based wisdom streams understand cycles and changes in humanity and the epochs of civilizations. The planetary grids themselves weave together patterns that connect math and astronomy with the knowledge of ancient wisdom lineages. Their associated legends, sacred scriptures and prophecies are thus better understood and connected. Our times are witnessing an obvious synchronistic pulse of change since we are coming to an end of the eight year window between the rare astronomical phenomena called the transit of the planet Venus when the planet is seen to move across the face of the sun as a black disk. In several months from now during the Tibetan year of the water dragon, the Hebrew year 5772, and Gregorian June,2012 we will witness this rare transit of Venus. The kamea/magic square corresponding to the planet Venus(see picture 7X7 grid) gives us the significance of this transit since it is the 25th time it will occur since the second Jewish temple was destroyed(70ce) and the Christian era began. What is known as the central palace or innermost box of the Venus grid is the number Twenty five as can be seen. This number is significant both because it is in the center of the whole grid as well as being associated with the other "morning star", Mars, who is one of the Grandsons of Spiderwoman in her legends of Native America, and is revered as the peacemaker morning star by ancient American wisdom traditions(Skidi Pawnee). The planet Venus is associated with the ancient American legends of the Spiderwoman who weaves our living world in the physical in part due to her regular visible cycles and the fact that over an eight year period she makes a pentagram(golden mean) design associated with her conjunctions with the sun, in the sky. The synchronistic significance is that we are now entering the dawn of a new epoch of civilization that many ancient traditions knew about and recorded. This is an epoch of balance and beauty(Mars and Venus). Another significance of the number twenty five is that the kamea of Mars is a box of twenty five numbers as can be seen from the picture(grid of 5X5), the central box of this Mars grid is the number thirteen which in the Hebrew wisdom is associated with the words echad/unity and ahavah/love.

Below is the table of the transits of Venus across the face of the sun for the last two thousand years. the twenty fourth one occurred in June 2004 and the next one completing the eight year window will occur next June.It will not happen again for over a hundred years.

verse 5772 of torah the Hebrew year of Water Dragon

As mentioned often in this blog the understanding of worldview by means of dimensionality and centrality in the universe is a key to understanding and living the wisdom of the ancient sages of our world's religions. The three kinds of movements of our holy globe Earth are connected to spanning out the five continuums(dimensions) and their vertices, called the omakim/depths in the ancient hebrew. These Ten "depths" are also a key teaching in Buddhism as the ten spans of the universe of manifestation. The first 52 words of Torah explain all that goes on to make "Yom Echad" day unified/One, and the continued manifestation of the world. The "first" continuum is heaven and earth and this is connected to the movement called precession which is the slow wobble of the globe. This is called the axis or dragon/Teli in the teachings of the mekubalim/kabbalists. The orbital/revolutionary movement of the globe about the sun is connected to the continuum of time called the shana/year by the mekubalim and the omakim/depths Tohu and Bohu in the first paragraph of Torah. The rotational movement of the globe is connected to the realm called lev/heart(soul) and related to the three continuums of space; up/down,front/back,left/right and in Torah light and dark, day and night, evening and morning. These are so interconnected a mekubal may discover a different relationship with all this then the hinted at one stated here. this is not a dogma but an investigation which for a person whose life walk is the wisdom/Beauty way is part of initiation.
The mekubalim understood the walk of life as the aboriginal elders all around the world, as a cyclical dance rather then a linear construct as many people in the popular four continuum without a center worldview. This is why the hebrew sages made it part of the yearly cycle to read the Torah as a way of making sacred in our own lives this great circle. As an ongoing part of this blog for several years now we look at the Torah verse that corresponds by number with the hebrew calendar year. This is less meant as a prediction for the future year beginning in the fall but more to be understood as a tool to accessing the center of the wheel of life which is why we sing the five books in the yearly cycle. The 5772nd verse of torah could actually be the first verse since it begins with the word vayomer which means that the Source speaks or will speak, which itself is considered an ongoing act of creation and sustenance. The first three words are "Vayomer asterah panai" which could have several aspects of meaning as all Torah does. " Devarim/Deutoronomy chapter 32:20; "And he will say "I shall hide my face" is a usual translation although we may hear it saying that the in the scintillation of the creative vibration of the universe the Source is hidden so individuals may live and grow and act freely. The rest of the verse speaks of the acharitam/the "end of days" and the specific generation that will rediscover their true inner living faith/amen. It is an amazing verse and we may hear it unfolding even now in the circular dance of the Earth paradigm described above. The value of 72 - the "upcoming" hebrew year is the gematria(number value) for the word Chesed=lovingkindness. The tibetan/Asian year called water dragon begins during this year 5772 and this is a synchronicity with the "revealing of the Source" as connected to the Teli/axis or dragon in the books of the mekubalim. The now very popular Pueblo/Hopi and Mayan prophecies also connect to this unfolding. These are the upper waters of love that characterize the new "flood" that the sages said would cover the earth in our times.

the Sarim/three "Brother Arrows" of the mekubalim/kabbalists

Pope Urban VIII , on August 11 1628, prohibited representations of the Trinity as three heads fused into one neck. all such representations were ordered destroyed or burned. Consequently, such portrayals are rarely seen in churches today.
these three called by the plains indian elders the "brother arrows" were known as Spider and her twin grandsons in the pueblo cultures of the southwest. these also associated with the planetary chiefs Shabbatai/saturn,Tzedeq/jupiter and Meadim/mars, are considered responsible for how the earth globe turns and moves. the Santero carvers of the southwest who learned from the mekubalim/kabbalists of Spain used the reference in the book of Bereishit/Genesis about these three visiting Abraham and Sarah to support their right to depict them in a way that the roman church was very upset about. As the global soul awakening unfolds the importance of these dudes is becoming known.

the Ten Omakim/Depths and the shaking Earth

Ten depths(in five continuums) that define the creation,from the first words of the Torah:

Heavens:Earth shamayim/HaAretz
Tohu:Bohu metal/crystal
Light:Darkness Ohr/Choseyhk
Day:Night Yom/laylah
Evening:Morning Erev/boker


Three mysterious strangers who visit Abraham and who embody the
three movements of the earth that "form" the ten depths of infinities:
Rotation:lev/heart
Revolution:Gilgul/womb(wheel of time)
Precession:Teli:Dragon/space(matter) (from the books yetzirah and bahir)

We are moving into a new world with a new relationship between the Source and center of all that is and Humanity on Earth. And so the Earth is shaking on her axis and toppling tyranny. We pray for the healing of all peoples who are hurting. Amen
the elemental chiefs, those who visited our Father and Mother Abraham and Sarah are shaking it up a bit as we all adjust to who we really are.
In the book about the repair of the laylah/night called the Tikkun Lail we have the first three and last three verses of all the writings of Tanach/Torah:prophets:ketubim
In the image above is a scan of an ancient text of Tikkun lail with included the fourth to last of the sacred verses of Shir HaShirim/Song of Songs, called the holy of Holies by Reb Akiva.
"And Solomon had a Vine- Baal hamon. the mystery of the Canaanite chief of storm in the Holy of Holies of this Shir ; hamon in gematria=751
the "world' as we knew already ended in 5751 folks. The storm chiefs are calling out to open our hearts. Jacob's trial in Bereishis/Genesis was 2X7 years for humanity becoming sovereigns and priests, a holy people in the making.
Now our trial is 3X7=21 years(5751 + 21 = 5772) for a humanity coming of age as personal sovereigns, priests and judges.

Seating the Yotzer in the physical/ the Jewish Dragon

"Ten are the numbers out of nothing, and not the number nine, ten and not eleven. Comprehend this great wisdom, understand this 7 knowledge, inquire into it and ponder on it, render it evident and lead 8 the Creator back to Her throne again."

The above quote is from the primer of Kabbalah, the Sepher Yetzira which explains the true work, the Tikkun Olam, repairing the world in the wisdom stream of the hebrew tradition.

From this sepher we have the defining three "realms" often mentioned in this blog and how they are the secret three movements of the Earth - rotation, revolution and precession. These turnings are directly related to the work of "Seating the Creator in Her place" and repairing the world.

Within the ancient Hindu text of the shiva Purana is also "hidden" this work and not well known about or understood in exoteric Asian tradition. since the 'pivot" of the work also involves the "dragon" called the five headed Shesha Ananti and the asian Year of the Dragon coming soon and coinciding with the Hebrew year 5772 I am including a wikipedia citation on how the tripura cities are destoyed which is the Hindu myth that holds this deep wisdom.

From wikipedia on the Three cities of Hinduism:

"Tripura (Tamil: Tiripuram, Thai: Triburam) meaning three cities, was constructed by the great Sura architect Mayasura. They were great cities of prosperity, power and dominance over the world, but due to their impious nature, Maya's cities were destroyed by god Tripurantaka, an aspect of Shiva. The three cities were made of iron, silver and gold and were located on earth, in the sky and in heaven, respectively.

History of Tripura
Penances of the sons of Taraka
Following the death of Tarakasura, who was killed by Kartikeya, his sons Tarakaksha, Vidyunmali and Kamalaksha undertook severe penances by which they pleased Lord Brahma. They requested that they be blessed with impregnable fortresses, which would be everlasting. However, as Brahma told them that nothing could be everlasting, they requested that the destruction of the cities could be brought about by a single arrow only, on the hope that it was impossible for anyone to shoot such an arrow, save Lord Shiva, of whom they were great devotees. Brahma then blessed them that such fortresses would be constructed by the architect Maya.
The construction of the three cities
The three cities which comprised Tripura were distributed thus:
The lowest, with walls of Iron, located on earth,
The second, with walls of silver, located in the sky, and
The third, with walls of gold, located in heaven.
The three cities were mobile and moved in such a way that they would never be in a single line, save for a few moments in around a thousand years, when the nakshatra Pushya would be in conjunction with the moon. They were thus reassured that they were quite safe, as it would be an extremely difficult task to destroy the three cities, which aligned only momentarily, by a single arrow!
Asuras from everywhere began to flock to Tripura to live. The cities were extremely luxurious and prosperous.
Forebodings of the fall of Tripura
After several years of joy, the inherent evil tendencies of the Asuras surfaced once again and they began to oppress the good and torment the noble. In the meantime, Mayasura was engaged in the worship of Shiva. The rest of the demons attacked sages and the Devas and shattered the peace of the worlds. Finally, when Indra and the rest of the Devas despondently approached Lord Brahma for respite, Lord Brahma redirected them to Shiva and also informed them of the vulnerability of Tripura to a single arrow. Lord Shiva promised to help them and the Devas returned to combat the Asuras in a mighty war. They were also assisted by Nandi, the leader of Lord Shiva's Ganas. Even though Vidyunmali was slain by Nandi, and several other Asuras were killed in the war, they were revived by water in the pool of Tripura, which had magical powers.
Vishnu descends to help
As the furious war continued between the Asuras and the Devas, even the Earth began to slip from its place. Just as Brahma and Shiva were worrying about the Earth's descent, the Protector god Vishnu, in the form of a massive bull, lifted the earth and restored it to its original place. He then entered Tripura and drank dry, the pool of magic water that rejuvenated the dead Asuras.
The destruction of Tripura
As the war raged on, Devas continued to struggle to match the Asuras, who used their magical powers to great effect in the war. One day the three cities aligned. Shiva ordered that a chariot be made from which he would battle the three demons.
The war-chariot designed for Shiva was different. Brahma was holding the reins. Vishnu was the arrow, and Agni was the tip of the arrow. Vayu was the inside the feathers on rear of the arrow. All other Devas had their own places and forms in the chariot. Just as the cities aligned, when the Pushya nakshatra positioned appropriately, Lord Shiva was about to strung the mighty bow, the Pinaka with the arrow, the Devas were overjoyed that Tripura was going to be destroyed because of them (because they were part of the war-chariot, without which Shiva cannot destroy).
Lord Shiva, knowing what the Devas were thinking, did not fire the arrow and just smiled. All the three purams were burned immediately. Shocked at this act, Brahma pleaded that Devas thought wrong and that Shiva should forgive and release the arrow, or else the Devas would have a permanent bad name and the reason behind making this chariot would become meaningless. Shiva then fired the arrow on the already burning Cities.
The Devas then understood:
1. Shiva can take the power of anyone/anything because it is his power that is already existing in first place.
2. Even though the boon granted was "one-arrow-one-shot and cities should be destroyed", Shiva has the ultimate power to rule them over.
3. Lord Shiva does not require a huge Chariot with Meru as bow, Vishnu as arrow etc. He could simply destroy/create anything even without moving his eyes.
The "smile and burn" act of Shiva in Tamil is beautifully called as "sirithu purameritha peruman" (God who laughed and burned the three purams)
Mayasura Protected
Lord Shiva immediately regretted his act, since he had forgotten to protect Maya, a great devotee of his. Realising this, Nandi raced ahead of the arrow and informed Maya of the impending doom. Instantly, Maya fled Tripura, leaving behind the great city he had constructed, which was immediately reduced to ashes, along with its inhabitants, the Asuras, by the great arrow of Shiva. This destruction of Tripura, led to the appellation Tripurantaka (????????????), for Shiva.

Although this story myth is presented in ancient Hindu mythology/theology as an event that already has taken place it actually defines in a detailed form the means and global actions and time that humanity would need to accomplish the work stated above in the Sepher Yetzira, in order to bring the Yotzer, the Creator onto the physical micono/seat in our world.

This is not a divergence in understanding how Tikkun Olam has already been accomplished on earth. It is backround for understanding who the Three "strangers" are in the Torah (and Quranic) story of Abraham and Sarah.

They hold the key to the global purification we are experiencing now and the new eon being birthed.

The three Hindu "deities" are directly related to the three realms of the yetzira:

Lev/heart(soul)=Vishnu

Gilgul/wheel(time)=Brahma

Teli/Dragon(matter/space)=Shiva

HAPPY HAPPY PURIM and ADAR II!

feeling the dragon/ the Qutub great Tree/Part II

The sage Rabbi Avraham Azulai foresaw that the Hebrew year 5760(1999/2000) a global purification by water would commence and the whole earth would become the holy land with a holy people(L'Chesed Avraham(1600's ce) The Sepher HaZohar explicitly mentions the Hebrew years 5770's as a global awakening and so our times are exceptional. Both the Hebrew and Sufi Islamic wisdom traditions relate the celestial and terrestrial realms to the three movements of the Earth. The mystery of the three guests of Abraham and Sarah holds the key to the wisdom traditions, their work and the ensuing spin of what it all is....
to be continued
In the Natve American Hopi tradition it is the twin grandsons of the Grandmother Spider who keep the earth turning in balance, each a guardian of a polar point. These two are also called Echoer and Weaver. The three personages re therefore also related to the three realms spoken of in the Kabbalah primer, the Sepher Yetzira - Lev the Heart; Gilgul the womb/wheel and Teli - the dragon Axis. The three Guests who visited Abraham informed him of who they were and how the Tikkun/repair of the world needed to proceed.
time, the wheel/gilgul is experienced as an unfolding wave experience and so now the Earth is experiencing a flowering of the ancient holy tree called wisdom. the third realm called Dragon/Teli or axis by the Sepher Yetzira and the Sepher Bahir(ancient kabbalistic primers)is beginning to be fully experienced by a humanity in an initiatic time phase. Andso does the decade of the 5770's in the Hebrew prophetic tradition involve the opening of the Eye(ayin)of Source(ayin=70) and the wavelike synchronicities are multiplying exponentially. the Hebrew year 5772(72=chesed/lovingkindness) also overlaps the Gregorian year 2012, the sacred Mayan new cycle beginning date(2011/2012) and the Tibetan/Asian special year of the WATER DRAGON. Yes folks we are catching the wave called WATER DRAGON from the very roots of the tree called the Vine of Solomon in Shir HaShirim/Song of Songs. We are feeling the Source. She is already shaking the globe.

Jews of Qumran and the Mayan Calendar

Revealed in the manuscripts of the ancient Dead Sea are keys to the awakening the world is now experiencing as related to other wisdom streams such as the Mayan and Buddhist. Below is an excerpt of a scroll about the elemental chiefs called by the Maya and native Americans Quetzalcoatl/feathered serpent and Tezcatlipoca/smoking mirror:
One of the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q535, Manuscript B) is written from Amram's(father of Moses) point of view, and hence has been dubbed the Testament of Amram. The document is dated to the 2nd century BC and, in the form of a vision, briefly discusses angelic powers called the Watchers:

Manuscript B

Fragment 1

(9) [... 1 saw Watchers]

(10) in my vision, the dream-vision. Two (men) were fighting over me, saying ...

(11) and holding a great contest over me. I asked them, ‘Who are you, that you are thus empo[wered over me?’ They answered me, ‘We]

(12) [have been em]powered and rule over all mankind.’ They said to me, ‘Which of us do yo[u choose to rule (you)?’ I raised my eyes and looked.]

(13) [One] of them was terr[i]fying in his appearance, [like a serpent, [his] cl[oa]k many-colored yet very dark...

(14) [And I looked again], and ... in his appearance, his visage like a viper, and [wearing ...]

15) [exceedingly, and all his eyes ...]

Fragment 2

(1) [... em]powered over you ...

(2) [I replied to him,] ‘This [Watcher,] who is he?’ He answered me, ‘This Wa[tcher ...]

(3) [and his three names are Belial and Prince of Darkness] and King of Evil.’ I said, ‘My lord, what dom[inion ...?’]

(4) [’and his every way is darkened, his every work da[rk]ened. In Darkness he ...

(5) [Yo]u saw, and he is empowered over all Darkness, while I [am empowered over all light.]

(6) [... from] the highest regions to the lowest I rule over all Light, and over al[1 that is of God. I rule over (every) man]

Fragment 3

(1) [of His grace and peace. Over all the sons of Lig]ht have] I been empowered.’ I asked him, [What are your names ... ?’]

(2) He [s]aid to me, ‘[My] three names are [Michael and Prince of Light and King of Righteousness.’]

Both of these "twin chiefs" as they are known in the Americas are mentioned as quarreling over who has possession of the body of the father of Moses. They are said to have dominion over Ohr/light and chosheyk/darkness. They are mentioned and explained in the Kabbalistic text called Sepher haBahir where they are said to rule over the elements water and fire and in another place in that book, silver and gold. They are related to the two "Princes"/Sarim mentioned in the book of Tanach, Sepher Daniel. In the famous Aztec sunstone calendar (we see in the image above left) the twin fire serpents as they circle the calendar(image above right). the profiles of their faces on the bottom peer out at us as one full face. Their bodies are made of Twenty-two segments, the number of Hebrew letters. This stone was rolled into a lake outside the city in mexico for safe keeping by native priests when the empire was being invaded and destroyed by Hernan Cortes. It is a prophecy engraved in this stone about the times - these twenty-five years now between 1987 and 2012 ce, the Aztec count ending in 1987 and the Mayan in 2012. That year1987 was 5720 on the Aztec calendar count, only 28 years apart from the Hebrew calendar count at the time 5748. Twenty-eight years is one cycle of the planet Shabbatai/Saturn who is directly related in both Jewish and Mayan wisdom traditions to the celestial elemental chiefs. The Sepher HaZohar mentions in the part on parsha terumah that the year 5750/1990 as the year that these chiefs begin direct involvement in the world. This was only three years from the end of the Aztec calendar count. Torah both written and oral speaks of a cycle of seven years as an initiatory test period. Jacob had to toil for two such seven year periods as he and the Jewish lineage tradition was being initiated as kings/sovereigns and priests. Now we are three seven year periods(3X7=21) this spring since 5750/1990 as this epoch of initiation involves - 1) Sovereignty/Kingship; 2) Priesthood and 3) Judgeship.

the new Dawn Star/from out of Mitzrayim

This time of year Jews around the world are singing the part of the Torah that involves the story of the "exodus". This wall art from an ancient Egyptian burial chamber of a Lady pharaoh encapsulates the knowledge of initiation hidden in the wisdom of the Egyptian priesthood and taught to Moses as we are told in the Torah. The story of the serpent scepter of Aaron swallowing that of the Pharoah's priests represents the handing over of ancient lines of wisdom initiation. The Hebrew priesthood was just coming to age so to speak with that story. The helical serpent has always been symbolic of wisdom lineages. This picture is a like a Rosetta stone for students of various aspects of the wisdom tradition from around the globe. The Ram headed mummy crowned by the red dawn star is like a cocoon for a level of human initiation that was still in the early stages which is one reason the mummy has an animal head and is a mummy. The three images are like the three columns of the traditional tree of the mekubalim/kabbalists and the three qualities of the astrologers - mutable, fixed and cardinal. They also correspond to the three planets left-jupiter(throne on head)right-saturn(cauldron on head) and the middle-mars/ram-red dawn star. The mathematical keys are the three number grids/kameas-4X4:3X3:5X5. The rebirth initiation level described by this scene is becoming real for humanity in our times right now. this is the real meaning behind the great calendar changes being touted about these days. from out of the mitzrayim/Egyptian constricted place humanity is making real the promised land of a prosperous peaceful world for all where the creative powers of the entire universe(Ram) support the values of justice(Nepthys) and kindness(Isis).

As previously mentioned the rare solstice eclipse occurred on a Yom haShleishi/Tuesday whose planetary chief is Meadim/mars according to the mekubalim. This means that the color of the eclipsed levanah/moon as red is directly related to the color of the planetary heaven of meadim/mars and the intrinsic quality of this hechal/"palace". The positive qualities of this change for the Earth will be become more visible and "real" as we approach this coming month of April/Nisan when the planet meadim/mars appears as the Dawn star on the eastern horizon. The event of the eclipse was like the beginning of the underground growth of a tree which really begins to wax as we enter the Hebrew months of Shevat and Adar in the spring. The physical planet Meadim/mars was and is actually conjunct, very close to the sun, at the eclipse and so not visible in the sky now. There is a lot of mis-information about the qualities of this planetary chief due to the dominance of the popular Greco-Roman mythology which stresses only the kelippot/shell(negative/imbalanced) value of the planetary heaven. This has kept hidden the true "value" of the red Dawn star. The ancient Skidi-Pawnee sky watchers of Turtle island called this Dawn star the "Peacemaker" elder brother of the more well known planet Nogah/venus who is really the "evening star".

Honoring the Center

True interfaith community is beginning to happen. This can be supported when the "spin" of each religious tradition is understood, how it may have been of value at one time to perpetuate the specific prayer form lineage. Then the essential part of the "work" of that religion needs to be delved into and then we may all accept each other within the profound gratefulness that Mother Earth is here just for us. That is what this blog has been about basically for the five years it has been around the web. The medicine wheels and how they relate to the human soul root Tree, especially get to the heart of the matter. In hearing of the call to prayer of the Native American elders this week for the solstice eclipse it reminded me of the heartfelt teachings and vision of the Lakota elder chief Black Elk and the wisdom of the "Six Grandfathers", the Daybreak Star, and the sprouting Tree in the Center of it all. Here is his final prophecy from the 1930's ce book "The Sacred Pipe" about the Center of it all:
Black Elk explains in his book “The Sacred Pipe” the seventh sacred rite of the Lakota People; called Throwing of the Ball:
"First, it is a little girl, and not an older person, who stands at the centre and throws the ball. This is as it should be, for just as Wakan-Tanka is eternally youthful and pure, so is this little girl who has just come from Wakan-Tanka, pure and without any darkness [Ignorance of His light. Ed.]. Just as the ball is thrown from the centre to the four quarters, so Wakan-Tanka is at every direction and is everywhere in the world; and as the ball descends upon the people, so does His power… The game… represents the course of a man’s life, which should be spent in trying to get the ball, for the ball represents Wakan-Tanka, or the universe…”
“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 center, 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.”
A true "interfaith" movement shows us that we are not only scrambling these days to "catch the ball" but we have succeeded and now as a community we are finding the center."

Earth Dragon Solstice eclipse/Full Moon of Tevet

This total eclipse at midnight on December 20/21 visible for much of America will have a Seventy-two minute long period of totality on the longest night of the year. A total lunar eclipse has not happenned on the winter solstice since 1638 ce. This is the full moon of the Hebrew month of Tevet.This month in the ancient Hebrew wisdom corresponds to the organ of the liver(twelve months=twelve meridian systems)whose function is to purify and is associated with the Nachash/serpent. This month is also related to the tribe of Dan whose way/Derek is like a serpent according to Torah.This eclipse occurs on a Tuesday which is the Hebrew Yom haShleishi , the third day under guardianship of the red planet Meadim/Mars. In fact the Hebrew legends/aggadah tell us that the cold nature of the levanah/moon is warmed by the red glow of the planetary chief meadim/mars. As the reflective illusory white light of the moon is obscured by the body of the Earth so the moon takes on the red glow which is really her own. We pray that the passionate dance between the soul of Earth who is known as the Avvenyu/water serpent among the Pueblos Indians, and the sky dragon, source of all movement, called the Teli in the Hebrew wisdom, helps awaken humanity to the flood of Chesed/lovingkindness.(For those into Hebrew gematria/number knowledge we are in the 72nd year of the 58th Hebrew century(5771). 72= Chesed/love and 58 = both both Noach, from the first flood, and Chen=grace.) Both Zohar and the Qumran scrolls predict a second flood of mighty "upper waters" to flood and purify the entire Earth with Chesed.

The Flood of Chesed/Total Eclipse

In this century of the Hebrew calendar count we are at 58 - the 58th century. Fifty-eight is the value of the name of Noach who carried the root nefesh level of soul of all of humanity. This century we are living through the awakening of this global soul and the flood of a new vibration of chesed, lovingkindness in our olam/world. The longest night this year is brightened by the full moon of the month of tevet which is also a total eclipse where the globe of the Earth blocks most of the light of the sun from reaching the moon. The flood of love in our Earth was predicted in the scrolls of Qumran in the fragment of the sometimes called “the birth of Noach”. It is also mentioned in Zohar. We will have this quoted here soon!

The Shape of it all/The Menorah/Tree

The crisis of change of these days, as it has always been, is based on issues involving the shape of the universe. The ancient aboriginal wisdom traditions are rooted in a five continuum geocentric world view. This worldview posits a Center/Source to all that is. The generally accepted modern scientific hypothesis rests on a four continuum worldview with no center. Three dimensions of space and one of time. Very lost in space. The wisdom traditions grow from a worldview that has a dimension of soul-being that holds the other dimensions within itself like an ocean and an island. The “light” of the lights we honour this time of year whether on the menorah or hanging on the tree flow from a Source that is the Center of the universe. The arguments about the existence of the “divine” and proper divine names and messengers, and the nature of “deities” may not be the real issue in the turbulence of our times. It is still about the “shape of the world” and the “where” of the divine. From the ancient Jewish wisdom of the Sepher HaZohar: “It flashes along through a hundred paths and ways, some narrow and some broad, until the house of the world was made. This House forms the centre of the universe, and it has many doors and vestibules on all its sides, sacred and exalted abodes where the celestial birds build their nests, each according to its kind. From the midst of it rises a large tree…(from Sperling translation Zohar I-172a). Happy Chanukah!

healing the Night/ Tikkun Layil/Eighth Fire prophecy

In the Jewish tradition there is the idea that the Beith HaMikdash/Holy Temple exists physically during the holiday of Hanukah wherever we light the menorah. With this we may understand that the true physical location of the “Holy House” moves around the earth as does the Holy Land expand her borders to all lands(prophecy of aggadah/legends). This “Holy land” we are told in midrash on Torah was tidily wrapped up completely under Jacob’s head while he dreamed of the people of wisdom moving out in all directions around the globe. This month of kislev we have the sign/mazal of the Keshet, the bow which is the rainbow and the seven colors. In America we have aboriginal peoples who also honor greatly the seven chiefs of the color lodges who surround the center of all that is. In fact the ancient Pueblo people saw one of these chiefs returning to the human world as the red kachina/dancer and bringing in the era where all people live in the way of wisdom of the pollen path. The Hopi elders have been waiting for some white bearded priests to come to this land with a stone that completes their migration dream. The people of the Jewish Qumran community also saw that the place of the great Temple would move “far away” as you can read this fragment from the Qumran scrolls:
4Q529, 6Q23
1 Wording of text which Michael addressed the angels of God[...]2 Michael said, "I have located there an army of angels[1][...]3[...] nine big hills: two to the Eas[t...]4[and two to the] South. It was at this place Michael met with the Angel Gabriel [...][2] 5... During their meeting Michael translated a dream of Gabriel'. Gabriel then said to Michael:[...]6 It was written in his text that God, the all powerful,[...]7 the boys of Ham to the boys of Shem. And see my Supreme being, the god of the earth[...]8 When it rains freely[...]9 view a city Made to worship the Supreme being, Lo[rd Eternal...]10Anything that is bad will be performed before God[3], the Almighty Lo[rd Eternal...]11 God will remember his people[...]12 the Supreme being; to him the prizes and praises and to him[...]13 in a far away place there will be a man[...]14 the man will say to him: 'Observe this[...]15 bring to me silver and gold[...]... [...]16 the good man[4] (The Dead Sea Scrolls Collection at The Gnostic Society Library)

We light the eight candles of the temple and honor the hearth fires of the earth lodge that dance with the promise of the people who sanctify the Center from where blessings flow. In native America this parallels the "The Seven Fires Prophecies of the Anishinabe" people and the lighting of the "Eighth Fire" which inaugurates an era of the great peace. The famous work of the Jews called “Tikkun Olam”, reapairing the world actually involves “repairing” the eighth of the omakim/depths listed in the first words of Torah, as HaLaylah, the Night and the candlelit nights of kislev are deep in the night of the yea.r This the only holiday that occurs in the dark of the month. We are celebrating the “event” of the Tikkun Lail, the healing of the Night with the new stories and legends being told and created.

the new year 5771 and the 5771st verse Torah

verse Devarim/Deuteronomy 32:19 v'yareh YHVH.... Hashem will See....
the year 5771= Heh-Tav-Shin-Ayin-Aleph - the Aleph worth one thousand appears out of the ayin/source of Hatesha/Nine. The kamea of nine is pictured in the upper right. Notice the middle row - three-Five-Seven these correspond to the planetary chiefs Saturn/Shabbatai-Mars/meadim and Venus/Nogah - who are all visible in the west after dark. these according to Book Yetzirah are Peace/Wealth/Life for this month of teshuvah Elul and the year 5771 which reveals the Aleph/HaShem. baruch haShem!

Kabbalah, The twenty count and the Buddhas

The eight spoked wheel of the twenty count as pictured here with the five levels of human soul explains how all the world’s prayer forms/religious traditions are connected in the awakening of the holy tree which this picture wheel is the trunk and roots. In Buddhist tradition there are always existent one thousand Buddhas who are the awareness of the wheel which for the mekubalim is like the Eleph ceseph, the river worth a thousand pieces of silver, the river of life. Buddhist traditon tells us that the last Buddha, Sakyamuni was the fourth in the series of one thousand. Using our wheel we can see that the first four Buddhas would have had the four soul roots as delineated by the four basic directions and the Fifth Buddha would have connected to the center/yechidah level. In the Hebrew tradition the first four “Buddhas” could correspond with Noach/nephesh/- Abraham/Ruach-Sarah/Chayah-Israel/neshamah. In the Zohar these four soul root individuals are given as the feet of the merkabah chariot, the three patriarchs, with David replacing the feminine malchut/Chayah and the fifth rider on the chariot is the king whose names is Peace=Solomon. These four “soul roots’ at the four directions would in the Native american wisdom be the four Clan chiefs of the elements themselves-Earth-Fire-Air-Water , and in the Hebrew tradition are called by the names of specific angels.
I gave these wheels to someone recently and they asked me well what do the numbers represent? This is an involved initiatic Cheyenne elder wisdom tradition and I am not an expert in explaining this but because of the correspondence with kabbalah I can explain it in that light. The numbers are counted in four swings around the wheel that you can count out for yourself. The center place of divine selfhood are four levels of initiation(5-10-15-20) achieved by a mastery of the relationship at each level with the four directional quadrants. The I and THOU of divine relationship in each of four “worlds” of relationship so to speak.
The five continuums of Kabbalah are also depicted in the wheel and the sephirot/omakim=depths at each end of a spoke/continuum. Four cross spokes(eight points) include the continuum of time, reshith and acharit(beginning and ending) and the other three spokes are the three continuum of space - up/down, left/right and front/back. There is a spoke or continuum going vertically through the center of the wheel=crown/kingdom - the vertical nature of the holy Tree of Life. It is all here in this beautiful wheel.
Thanks again to H.Storm and his book “Lightning Bolt” for the wheel.

Yom HaShleishi/Tuesday TishaB'Av and the NINE

The nine degrees of “holy Creatures”, Chayoth HaKodesh and the nine days of Av and the year of Tesha=770(our year 5770)=Nine all reveals great wisdom.. These nine creatures are explained in Rabbi Jacob ben Jacob haKohen’s book translated in“The early Kabbalah” published by the Paulist Press on pages 159 to 162.
"Similarly I will enlighten you as to how you can discover that the letter tet informs us about the holy creatures. Know that the tet equals nine and that there are nine degrees of holy creatures."
The Kamea box of Shabbatai(pictured above), called the box of nine numbers also explains the awakening of the meaning of the letter Teth, the ninth Hebrew letter in our world. The world of understanding and the upper “mother”/Binah(vertice of the continuum of time)has joined with the world of “kingdom”(vertice where “space” meets “soul”, giving us only Nine vertices of the five continuums, the vertice of Ra/”evil” or uncertainty of potential of soul; has become one with, lifted up to “Tov” the goodness of the “crown”. The entire Earth is an eretz kedusha.
The mekubalim/kabbalists these days compare the ancient idea of Tzimtzum, the contraction of the divine light that allowed “room” for the physical creation to manifest, as a foreshadowing of the theory of the “Big Bang”. In the very literal, Peshat understanding of this theory of cosmogony, all the material substance/energy of the universe was contracted to a dense place and then it exploded in a moment that brought the physical world into manifestation. Following this incredible line of thinking there had to be a hierarchical strata to the “original” substance with some of it being at the center or near the center of the original dense mass. Remember that in the 4-continuum worldview there is no center to our universe, only in the worldview of the ancient wise ones, the five continuum view,(from the sepher Yetzira) is there a "center" to all that is. At the Big Bang time and space met so to speak at this "center". This is why some special material and the mishkan of Yisrael has been a key to bringing the “center” of the 5-contnuum world into our physical world since some of this “central” material has been found and “hallowed” throughout the thousands of years of the wisdom tradition. This “material” made up the pillow of Yakov/Jacob when he had the dream of the angelic ladder and the future of Yisrael, this was the stuff that Moshe Rabbainu carried on Har Sinai. This was also related to the material of the Be’ar/Well of our holy matriarch Miriam. The material of the stone of Miriam’s well did not totally disappear with her death, only it’s capacity to bring fresh “water”/chockmah into the world. This is because a being like Miriam who had the Chayah level soul root had to be with the “material” for the well to function. This is the "missing" piece of stone tablet that the Hopi Indians have been expecting a elder white brother to carry with him from the east. And now it reemerges in an olam where the “center” is being revealed again for a global change towards the Tov, the goodness of this gift of livingness in the material world. Next Tuesday, Yom HaShleish/third day, is the day kept for the revealing of the Nine(nine of Av=tesh B’Av) and what the Kamea/box of Nine really is about. The understanding of this box that is a wheel, that unifies and explains wisdom lineages as diverse as ancient China, India, Tibet, Arabia, European and Hebrew all in nine numbers in this year 5770 whose name means tesha=Nine.(much more about the kamea of Nine in future posts) The center is being found, the gate of the holy temple that was sunken into the ground according to the sepher HaZohar and has been raised up and sanctified. The tenth has become the ninth because we have a center to our world physically in the third Temple. The “angel chief” of the third day, yom haShleishi is one of the Seven day chiefs who stand before the ceso/throne in the world of beriah and this “chief” was needed to be brought into this world physically. To have achieved this all the powerful angels of Desire/Geburah needed to be coaxed into the wisdom lineages and this includes the seraph guardian of Rome. To do this we needed a prayer form, a religion, that was built on Rome so to speak. And so the last two thousand years of a solar calendar that is now the calendar of the secular world. It is the joining of the two planetary “day chiefs” in the sky Shabbatai/saturn and Meadim/Mars that we see in the west after dark and these are part of a powerful T-square planetary formation that has the entire olam/world in a momentum of deep awakening. The American Indian medicine wheel(picture above) has eight directions on the circle around the center which reveals the Yechidah, the fifth level of soul that is connected to the center and the Five in the central box of the kamea of Shabbatai(pictured above). The nine degress of the kamea of Shabbatai have been lowered into the physical earth, binah/understanding (4)joining with malchuth/kingdom(2). This reveals the Beith HaMikdash HaShleisi, the third sacred temple. Zachor Shabbat Chazon!
