The year 5777 and the epoch of the Moonbow

This Hebrew new year, Rosh HaShanah we complete 304 - nineteen year Hebrew calendar cycles of the Jewish count of sacred time. The calendar cycles are built on the movements of the Moon with the Earth and Sun and help define the way of the Jewish shamanic prayer form in time. The number "304" may be written with the Hebrew letters sheen-daleth which holds the value of 304. The various shoresh/root meanings of sheen-daleth(includes "spirit" and "breast") point to the deep significance of this cycle completion. As this blog is built on the ancient Hebraic geocentric worldview and the truths that this view holds we are able to understand and learn more about the dimension of nephesh/soul that encompasses and interpenetrates the entire physical creation.  The discovery of the three trans-saturnian planets completed the astrological pattern set forth in the ancient Hebrew text Sepher Yetzirah with Uranus,Neptune and Pluto matching up with the three "mother letters" spoken of in the text. Now the significance of these three "planets" keeps being revealed. This article linked here explains how the Jewish calendar is built on Thirteen 19 year calendar cycles which means that there is a larger calendar cycle of 247 years that the Jewish ceremonial count is built upon. This is the approximate length of one complete Pluto revolution about the Sun! Previously in older posts it has been explained how the nodal axis of the planet Pluto(where the plane of Pluto's orbit intersects the Earth's ecliptic axis) has been aligned with the 22nd part of the seventy-two part sacred name-Shemhamphorash for the past 300 years or so. This 22nd "name"- Yod-Yod-Yod, is especially connected to the Hebrew Priestly lineage, it corresponds to 15-20 degrees of the Crab/Sartan and the three yodim(letter yods) are the leading three letters of the Birchat HaKohanim, the priestly blessing. This reveals another understanding of how

the entire Jewish way of marking sacred time is intricately connected to the Levanah/Moon AND the planet Pluto. The celestial bodies and their mathematical connections reveal a way of understanding how to delineate the topography of the vast ocean of soul/being that the entire physical creation floats within. The sky is a projection of the spirit realm that is Holy Earth/ Holy Tree and the Earth is the embodiment of Sacred Sky.

Here is the article on the calendar connection. http://www.star-k.org/articles/news/3311/pluto-and-the-turs-jewish-calendar-cycle/    http://matzav.com/pluto-and-the-turs-jewish-calendar-cycle/

“New Horizons” (NASA’s Mission to Pluto) recently came within 7,800 miles of Pluto and brought much attention to this dwarf planet that at any given time is between 2.66 billion and 4.68 billion miles away from Earth.

As we begin Rosh Hashanah, 5776, which will mark the beginning of the final year of the 304thnineteen year cycle since Brias Haolam (the creation of the world), it is interesting to note the amazing similarity between the amount of time it takes Pluto to orbit the the sun and the Jewish Calendar cycle based on 13 – nineteen year cycles found in the Tur (Orach Chaim Siman 428).

The Tur’s chart is based on a 247-year cycle and it takes Pluto about 247 years to orbit the sun.

This is the Tur’s 247-year calendar found in Orach Chaim, Siman 428, in Hilchos Rosh Chodesh. Note the marks we have added to illustrate how the charts work. The “hey chof” on the bottom left of the first chart is the kvius hashanah for this past year, the 18th year of the 19-year cycle and shanah peshutah (none-leap year). Note the “hey chof” column in the second chart. Rosh Chodesh Elul (circled) is on Shabbosand Sunday. That was this past Rosh Chodesh. This coming year, the 19th year and a leap year, has a triangle around it. Note the “bais shin” and how on the second chart it indicates that this coming Rosh Hashanah will be on Monday and Yom Kippur will be on Wednesday. The entire year’s events are indicated in that column. Finally, at the top left of the first chart is “bais ches” in the first year (peshutah) of the upcoming 19-year cycle (to begin a year from now in October 2016). The bottom left squares indicate that they are for the year 5777 (note: what looks like a vov should be a zayin, as in 5777), and 247 years earlier, in 5530, and 247 years before that. The second chart shows that Rosh Hashanah next year, 5777/2016, will begin on Monday. The rest of the years are all indicated using both charts.

The following explains the connection between Pluto and the Tur’s chart.

Many of us are familiar with the 19-year cycle – every 19 years Hebrew and English dates coincide. For example, the first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5757, occurred on September 14th, 1996, and 19 years later, the first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5776, also occurs on September 14th, 2015. [As is well known, it does not always work out exactly and may be a day or two off, but that is beyond the scope of our discussion.]

However, what is important to note is that the day of the week never coincides 19 years later. The first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5757/1996, was on a Shabbos and the first day of Rosh Hashanah, 5776/2015, will be on Monday. This is always the case 19 years later – the days of the week will never coincide.

However, if 247 years pass – which is 13 cycles of 19 years (13 x 19 = 247), the days of the week and the entire Hebrew calendar year repeat themselves. For example, the Hebrew year 5528/1767-68 and 5775/2014-15 (247 years later) were identical. In both years, Chanukah began on Wednesday, Purim was on Thursday, Pesach began on Shabbos, and Tisha B’av was nidcheh (pushed ahead) to Sunday, etc. The years 5529/1768-69 and 5776/2015-16 are also identical.

With this in mind, the Tur (the precursor to the Shulchan Aruch and found on bookshelves in Batei Midrashim worldwide) published a chart in Orach Chaim Siman 428 in Hilchos Rosh Chodesh, which is a 900+ year calendar that begins in 5055 (1294-95). The basis of the calendar is this 247-year cycle. It consists of 19 rows – one for each year of the 19-year cycle and 13 columns. Each column indicates the first year of that particular column – and then 247 years later, and 247 years after that, etc. For example, one column shows the years 5245, 5492, 5739 (1978-79), and 5986. A calendar on the corresponding page indicates what days of the week various days occur. There are 247 boxes – each containing two Hebrew letters with the ability to see if the year is pshuta (regular) or meuberes (leap) – each box describes a specific year of each cycle. [A full discussion of how to use the chart as well as a handful of exceptions to when a year does not repeat 247 years later, the Achronim’s modification to certain years on the chart, and how nowadays three letters known as the kvias hashana are typically used as a clearer way to describe a year, is beyond the scope of our discussion].

The basis of the 247-year cycle is that every 247 years the time of the molad is almost identical. To be precise, it moves back a mere 905 chalakim (50 minutes and 16.67 seconds). For example, in 1755, the molad for Tishrei, 5516, was at about 7:45 a.m. on Shabbos morning. Therefore, Rosh Hashanah was on Shabbos. 247 years later – in 2002, the molad for Tishrei 5763 was at about 6:55 a.m. on Shabbos morning – so once again, Rosh Hashanah was on Shabbos. Because the molad is almost identical, Rosh Hashanah, as well as all the other days of the year, will be identical 247 years later.

Pluto was discovered in 1930, long after the Tur lived. For many years, it was considered the furthest planet from the sun in the solar system, but was downgraded to a “dwarf planet.” It is quite fascinating that the Ribbono Shel Olam created this dwarf planet which is an astronomical “siman” that basically corresponds to the Tur’s cycle.

It takes Pluto about 247 years to orbit the sun (247 years and 248 days to be more precise). So, Pluto is in the same location vis-à-vis the sun as it was 247 years ago (by contrast the Earth is in the same location vis-à-vis the sun after 365.24 days). When this happens, the Hebrew year is repeating itself.

For example, as indicated above, Chanukah, 247 years ago, began on a Wednesday, as it did this past Chanukah. On 8 Elul, 5775, Sunday, August 23, 2015, Pluto was in the same location vis-à-vis the sun as it was – 247 years ago – on the first day of Chanukah, 5528/1767, (because the rotation is not precisely 247 years the dates are not exactly the same and it could pull into the next year). B’Toras moshol (a theoretical example), someone born on Pluto, 247 years ago, who remained there, would be celebrating his first birthday this year! At the same time, on Earth, we have a Hebrew year that repeats itself from 247 years ago.

Appreciating the chachma (wisdom) involved in our solar system and viewing the breathtaking photos sent back by “New Horizons” allows us to better appreciate the Niflaos haBorai (wonders of the Creator) as the Navi (Prophet) Yeshaya tells us at the end of the Haftorah we read last month onShabbos Nachamu – “Se’uh marom aynaychem u’ruh mee barah aleh” – lift your eyes up high and see Who Created this.

The Tenth Holy Cow! and Tammuz 17 Sabbath

The first ever historical birth(1994) of a female white bison(non-albino)calf in America was also the fulfillment of the Jewish prophetic tradition concerning the red heifer. Natives knowt his as  the ancient Lakota prophecy of the White Calf Woman. The white color is the sign of the full purification and joining of ancient wisdom lineages. The red is a color that  carries the significance of strength(the ruddy normal bison) and severity and it is mitigated and balanced by the white color of Chesed, lovingkindness and Peace. Solomon said he did not understand the rite of the red Heifer, Para Adumah. This is simply because it is guided by the Deity, who had caused the rare pure red cow to be born throughout Jewish Temple history and then fulfilled and completed only after the original temples were destroyed and a global migration/diaspora was implemented.
This included the migration to America, the land where the pure red bison is a sacred animal. Solomon did not know there were a people on the other side of the globe who held a key to the unfolding of the prophetic tradition that the plains Indians call the way of the "Brother Arrows".The author of the Sepher haZohar, the Rashbi, specifically said that the third temple would not be built by human hands and so there are and would be no more animal sacrifices and no physical building needed to be built on the ancient historical site. Rashi, and the Ramchal, Rabbi Moses Luzzato also taught along with the Rashbi that the temple would not be a human built structure on the historical site. The sign of the first female white bison calf means the Sabbath Queen, the Shechinah, is now fully interfaced with the human world. This has occurred thanks to several ancient religious/wisdom prayer traditions from around the Earth. In Ancient America the Sabbath Queen, who is a real being, came to the people as White Bison Calf Woman and gave them teachings(SEVEN rites) and a holy way of life. She also gave them a spiritual tool made of a special mineral substance(as well as plant and animal), an incense altar/misbeyach, like in the ancient Jewish temple to connect and pray with the divine soul world, the heavenly realms. Part of the incense used was a special red plant that is a powerful purifier but like the ashes of the biblical Red Heifer, it renders a person impure and ill if not used properly and with respect.  
The blueprint so to speak of the need to bring some special minerals together to complete a soul unification was the breastplate,the Choshen(see image), of the High Priest of Yisrael and the twelve stones representing each of the twelve tribes.
     It can all be undertood and explained with the astrological secret of the name of "72", the Shemhamphorash from the book of Shemot/Exodus as aligned with a particular quinary (see image of the wheel), five degree section of celestial longitude. Match these with the alignment of the temple zodiac of Denderah in Egypt(see image) and then it is all revealed. This temple was dedicated to the same deity, hathor/Isis who is the "Calf Woman", the Sabbath queen(mother of SEVEN), for one lineage tradition of ancient Egypt. She is and always has been about Joy,Love,Womanhood and Peace. Due to the preccesional slow 26,000 year wobble of the Earth the stars called the teomim(sung about in the Song of Solomon), alpha and beta gemini, the "Eyes of the Sky(Thiazi)" for the Norse peoples, move through the 22nd five degree segment (crab:15-20degrees)which is special to the priesthood of the Jewish people according to ancient tradition. During a short period of the grand 26,000 year wheel cycle, about three centuries, these stars align with the five degree quinary of the holy name(yod-yod-yod). This allowed for the uniting of lineage traditions, called the bundling of the sacred arrows in the plains Indian tradition. This transiting occurred from the middle 1600's ce. up to the year 1990 ce. This alignment allowed for the completion of  the yechidum/unifications in the teachings of the Arizal(Rabbi Luria). For the Jewish part we also needed to carry some of the special substances from the ancient Temple of Solomon with us here to America. This would include a piece of the original luchoth, the broken tablet from Har Sinai which tradition holds was kept in the Ark of the covenant and then passed through different family lines. Tradition states that the piece of the broken tablet that contains the word Shabbat was broken off but in itself remained intact. This Sabbath is Tammuz 17 when it is said that the original Luchoth/tablets were shattered at the appearance of the worship of the golden(red)calf. Usually a fast day, it falls on the holy Sabbath of celebration,  prophecy(Balak parsha) and completion. We pray for Peace.

The Third Temple in America

Solomon could not understand the rite of the Para Adumah, the red heifer simply because he did not know that his temple was not complete. It needed an additional material from the other side of the Earth in a land where the red bison and the white heifer were also regarded for sacred purposes. The realm of the Chayoth haKodesh, the holy living creatures is connected to parts of the human soul, certain animals, plants and minerals and metals. These are found all around the Earth globe and peoples from all over the Earth have discovered the special connection to the heavens/soul world that different materials have. In the Hebrew teachings of the mekubalim this is called working with the Name within the physical. Global migrations of wisdom lineages were essential to manifesting the third temple which allows a flow/shefa of the divine into the physical for  global healing/tikun.  The expected tenth red heifer by some Jews was really manifested when the first ever female white bison calf was born in August of 1994(see image). This meant that the third temple was manifesting on Earth. The throwing of the ball ceremony as explained in  a previous post, of the Lakota peoples explains the connection to the red heifer and the sacred realm of the Chayoth. They needed to interface or descend to a physical level for the next phase of the human - animal- Earth adventure. The Aztec calendar stone wheel(pictured here) predicted the time frame as we see the elemental dragons(of the world of Chayoth/dragons) joining together around the outer edge. This was the August 1987 date of harmonic convergence, pretty close to the 1990 date given by the Rashbi in the Holy Zohar. I already have explained the connection between the Aztec and the Hebrew calendars which I learned from the teachings of Tony Shearer-"Beneath the Moon and Under the Sun".The rocky mountains have a sacred ARGAMAN/purple jewel(see picture of the "Idaho star"

)

which manifests the mogen David, the Jewish star and is described in The Zohar as to where it is found and how it is connected to the Kellim, the vessels of the temple. The Hopi pueblo people also knew that a peoples from over the ocean would arrive with the substances and practices, the missing piece(see image), that would  complete the "sipapu", the transition to a new world cycle.

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.
