FAMOUS OPINION:

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Mystics have always said that Egypt was the birthplace of the mysteries which then spread to other countries-Greece most particularly- over the centuries. This statement is borne out by the following excerpt.

The ancient authors emphasized the link between Orpheus and the Orphic tradition and Egypt. For instance, Diodorus Siculus wrote in his works: “Orpheus took his theology from the Egyptians; he brought from Egypt most of the mystical teletes and ceremonies concerning his own travels, as well as the mythical story of what takes place in Hades’world. Osiris’ telete is the same as that of Dionysus, and that of Isis is quite similar to that of Demeter; only the names have been changed.” Similarly, Plutarch and Demosthenes have stated that Orpheus brought the teletes of the Dionysian, Panathenean, Thesmophorian, and Eleusinian Mysteries to Athens, and that, having traveled to Egypt, he converted the mysteries of isis and Osiris into those of Deo and Dionysus and revealed the most sacred ceremonies to the Hellenes.

Diodorus Siculus demonstrated the existence of the same connection between the Egyptian ceremonies and the Eleusinian ceremonies. He also declared: “The Eumophides are the Egyptian priests brought to Hellas; the Ceryces are the pastrophores. The ceremonies of the Eleusinian Ceres are no djfferent than tiwse of Isis held in Egypt. According to widely accepted opinion, the Egyptians have revealed to other men the teletes of all the other gods. They were the first to announce the hiera and the sebasmia-that is, the forms and actions which cannot be revealed to the uninitiated and which the Mysteries of isis teach. And these Mysteries are none other than the aidoion of Osiris, abducted and sought by the goddess wearing seven cloaks and dressed in black.”

The Qabalistic Tree 

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

 

The Tree of Life is an image of Creation. It is an objective diagram of the principles at work in the entire universe. The image of the Tree illustrates the descent of divine energies in this world and their returning upwards once again. It contains the entirety of the cosmic laws and their interaction. It is also a complete picture of humanity. The relative universe oscillates between the two poles, All and Nothing. The completion of each swing of the pendulum can be seen as Nothing and All, as each of the poles becomes a point of entry and exit for the Absolute, which is independent of Creation. That is where full Reality is found. Everything else turn out to be, in the long run, an illusion, like a cosmic drama which is done and undone in a round of interlocked games, from the most subtle reverberations taking place amidst the most elevated worlds, to the slowest modifications taking place at the heart of the grossest matter.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The structure of the Tree of Life is governed by the emanations flowing from the First Crown. From the initial impulse of Creation, a sequence unfurls from the first sephirah (or receptacle) in eight stages, until its resolution in the tenth sephirah called Malkuth or Kingdom at the base of the axis. This primordial development can he compared to a descending octave, from C to C, in which each note fulfills a specific function, according to the form-energy interactions corresponding to emanations, as expressed in the oscillating movement between the left and right pillars of the Tree of Life. Qabalists compare this zigzagging progression descending along the Tree to a shining flash of lightning.

On the Subject of Angels

One of the most complete works written to date on the subject of angels is probably that of Edouard Bertholet, entitled Mystère et Ministère des anges (Mystery and Ministry of Angels). He examines everything that has been written on the subject of angels in religious literature concerning their origin, nature, and function. He also discusses the conception expounded by such great Christian mystics as Master Philippe of Lyons, Joséphin Péladan, Emanuel Swedenborg, and others.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Christians believe that angels are, as St. Paul describes them, the minister of God sent to take care of things in this world, and that not only do kingdoms and provinces, but all Christians in particular have guardian angels. This is a view not shared by all. Christians also teach that angels were created holy and perfect, but that some of them fell from this state through pride and were hurled down to hell and condemned to eternal suffering, while others were assured a state of eternal grace and happiness . . . . With respect to good angels, Christians have been persuaded that these only work to the benefit and welfare of humans, unless God commands them to punish the wicked. . . Roman Catholics especially venerate three angels, or rather archangels:

 

Michael,  Raphael, and Gabriel, as mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. As for Uriel, opinion is divided on his status.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

 

Moslems profess the same beliefs about angels as do Christians. This is what the Moslem catechism says about this subject: In matters relating to our belief about angels, our conviction will be complete if we  believe in our hearts and declare aloud that the Almighty has servants or ministers to whom we give the name of angels, who are completely free of sin, continually helping God, and who unquestioningly carry out His Commands and are never disobedient. Angels have subtle and pure bodies, formed of light. It is necessary that we believe in them: and it is also one of the absolute conditions of faith that we love them. The person who neither believes in, nor loves them, may be taken for an infidel! Moslems venerate six archangels, namely, Gabriel, Michael, Ezrail, Jsrafil, Munka and Nakir

TELEPHATHY BY MENTAL HARMONIZATION

Beloved Frater,

Please post this entry for me.

TELEPHATHY  BY MENTAL HARMONIZATION

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The comment below deals with telepathy by mental harmonization which is purely cerebral in nature.  However, it is also possible to communicate with others through the intermediary of Cosmic Consciousness. This latter method is called telepathy by mental projection.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Of all parapsychological phenomena, telepathy has undoubtedly given rise to the largest number of investigations and experiments. Following the “salon telepathy” at the beginning of the century, a great research movement began in laboratories, both in the East and West But it is to J.B. Rhine that we owe the scientific recognition of telepathy. Among the thousands of tests which were conducted and their concurrent data, and thanks to the mathematical exposition of the test results, this paranormal communication between two persons (sender-receiver) became an established fact.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

It was, in fact, with this psychology professor at Duke University in North Carolina that the systematic study of extrasensory perception began. In 1932, with the backing of McDougall, director of Duke’s psychology department, Rhine founded the first university parapsychology laboratory. He employed a method based on statistics and formulated the results in a quantitative form. His research, based on the laws of probability and of large numbers, demonstrated the existence of a phenomenon not attributable to chance.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

The experiment called for the subject to visualize the symbol upon which the experimenter was concentrating. For these tests Rhine used a Zener deck, made up of 24 cards bearing five symbols: a circle, a cross, a rectangle, a square, and several wavy parallel lines. The cards were mixed and cut with the aid of a little machine. The researcher drew the first card, and the subject, separated from the researcher by a simple screen or by hundreds of kilometers, tried to guess what it was. And so on for the entire experiment The experimenter then noted the instances of agreement.  In the course of several thousand experiments, Rhine found that the scores of his subjects exceeded expectations based on the law of probability. These tests were conducted with subjects from many diverse backgrounds: men, women, children, gifted individuals, yogis, ill people, neurotics.. ., telepathy no longer being considered by them as a “gift, “ but as an inherent quality of the personality. It does not seem, in fact, to be linked to sex, age, race, degree of intelligence, or to any form of mental disorder.

On the Spiritual Nature of Music

Dear Frater,

This entry is on the spiritual nature of music.

On the Spiritual Nature of Music

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

According to most phonologists and musicologists, music first began when humans became aware that sounds had an influence on them and on their environment. From then on, people used music to communicate with each other, express emotions, accompany their songs, contact the Divinity, etc. The following quote concurs with this point of view.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

Since earliest antiquity, we note the importance of music in all manifestations of social and religious life, as well as the power attributed to it. Legends abound and by comparing them, we may observe that in all ancient Oriental or Occidental civilizations, the creation of the world is always associated with sound.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

For the Egyptians, the god Thot has created the world by uttering a cry; four gods are said to have been created in the same manner and then organized the Universe. Life-giving powers were attributed to the cry; the cry is life in its primordial essence. It is to be noted that the newborn utters a cry as soon as it absorbs air; at that precise moment, the child lives independently from the mother. It is therefore not surprising that, at the dawn of civilization, after the cry had become the spoken word and then the incantation, the voice became associated with magic!

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

In all ancient civilizations we find the existence of magical chants and psalmodic or chanted hymns closely associated with magic. The use of the voice was expected to perform miracles, and is it not a miracle to ward off the snake’s attack by playing a flute—or to see the walls of Jericho crumble under the sound of Joshua’s trumpets? Today, the laws governing vibrations explain these so-called miracles. In India, as well, sound is considered to be of divine origin; the Word is born of the gods and musical science was revealed by Brahma; the sacred instruments have been given to men by the gods. Music is the link uniting man to God and the power of sounds also applies to the forces of nature. As with the Greeks, there exist songs for the morning and songs for the evening, songs to petition for rain or sunshine, songs to awaken love, to help with birth or death, etc. Ancient China had similar ideas and the ancient Greeks have gone even further in the power attributed to “sound.” The entire Pythagorean philosophy is built on this concept; it is, as a matter of fact, the origin of our musical system.

Relationship between colors of the Aura and the State of Health

Relationship between colors of the Aura and the State of Health

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

 

 

According to Dr. B. Garcin, the brain is the starting point for the astral or etheric fluid,

Color diagnosis, as it was practiced by the ancients, also depends on the variations of vibrations. Every color has a vibratory rate. Besides colors in the spectrum, there are many colors that we are unable to perceive. The human eye can only operate in a relatively narrow strip of vibratory waves. For example, infrared and ultraviolet rays are outside the spectrum and were only discovered by man at a relatively recent date. There are many others still unknown to conventional science.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

All living things are surrounded by a field of electromagnetic energy. Radiations from this field can be seen as waves of colors surrounding bodies, and their total aggregate is called the “aura.“ The aura can be seen by persons who possess well-developed psychic faculties. Around a sick person [the aura] appears to be broken and darkened, especially around the affected part because its radiation goes through a change and does not vibrate at its normal frequency. Diagnosis and correction of these disorders are emphasized by changes in the aura and are integrated into what is called “healing through color.” However, it is unlikely that this method of healing exists on its  own; it is more likely a part of spiritual and magnetic healing.

About AURAS

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

 

As it eliminates vibrations it does not need, the body is constantly freeing energy, either through sudden explosions or in regular waves, and the whole of these freed energies or etheric field is called “the aura.”  Our feelings color the aura. There will at times be the unconscious need to try out a color: we are then attracted to certain clothing, to a particular food, or to a person who radiates this vibration. In a more advanced stage of evolution, a person who needs a certain energy can produce its color in his own aura. People who overload one chakra more than another will tend to produce the corresponding color in their aura. However, the aura’s color as a whole undergoes variations depending on one’s mood at that moment, the surrounding place and persons. When somebody approaches us, an exchange takes place much like that of an electrical storm, which explodes at the moment the two auras blend.

www.ThePrisonerofAMORC.com

While revealing what we are, the aura is sensitive to the environment. As a matter of fact, the impression it produces is more important than its color. We, ourselves, constitute the substance of the aura. It is supple when we are strong and more rigid when we are tense. Since the aura is the result of various vibratory energies released by the body, it will be pale or intense depending upon the situation. The aura is a field of varying attractions. We attract what we deserve among the vibrations of the surrounding world, planets, and the universe. Certain individuals possess a special radiance which does not go unnoticed, wherever they may be, and to which people around them and the Cosmos are sensitive.
