There is a strong sensation that like Foucault pointed out concerning the medical profession’s masonic language, today the science and practice of information management (web, communication, etc.) are in the hands of a few enlightened oligarchs. This is the forst post of a series of analysis commenting not on pseudo-conspiracies but on actual facts of every day life to discover who may be the future oligarcs and if they will bring benefits or misery to humans. We’ll use Russia’s recent history as a social, political and economical model to benchmark theories of future oligarchism.

PORTAE LUCIS

Filed under: hermeticism — cyxix @ 14:15
Tags: , ,

Introduction

Over the past several years, Jean Dubuis, founder of LPN and author of its lessons, has been developing a new technique of initiation. Since this method, known as Portae Lucis (Portal of Light), has been a powerful, yet evolving process, some of PON’s members are unclear about the particulars of how to prepare themselves for accessing those interior states Portae Lucis promises.

The purpose of this article is to clear-up some of the confusion some members have regarding Portae Lucis, as well as present the most recent version of the technique in clear and precise terms.

Theoretical Overview

The description of Portae Lucis involves three key components: astrological timing, passivity on the part of the aspirant, and the use of psychically loaded, or charged, talismans to assist in filling our energetic requirements for the experiment.

The fourth, or final component, is one which we can have no control over – Divine Grace, or a Cosmic response to our inner desire, preparations, and readiness to experience a “Contact with Eternity”.

This “Contact with Eternity” takes place on the level of Saturn, and makes us aware of our place in creation, and relationship to all things. It is a difficult state to bear, and as Saturn is the planet of melancholy and despair, it can bring a profound state of sadness, depression, and even suicidal tendencies for those who make the contact.

However, along with it, will come an influx of energy that awakens our Heart Center, or gives us an initiation at Tiphareth. Here, our relationship to our Inner Master is realized, or what is often called, “Conversation with our Holy Guardian Angel”. After a period of time, this develops into a relationship by which we can dialogue with our Inner Master, but only after a long probation of silence and listening to what it has to say to us for our evolution.

Thirdly, our mental faculties of the brain and nervous system, via Yesod, are charged, and we can bring this Experience of Eternity, and Knowledge of the Interior Master, to the material realm, or Malkooth.

Physical Preparations

To assist in increasing our chances of success in “Contacting Eternity”, we need to increase our energy levels and reserves, as such high contacts can be physically and psychically draining. For this, we need to acquire several sets of ‘products’ or objects to be loaded (i.e. charged) with the appropriate psychic influence for each of the three levels – Saturn, Sun, and Luna.

Each level has four product, one for each of the four Elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire, for that particular level. Thus, we have a container that holds a charge for each specific quality of energy presented, and they are progressively charged and released for the execution of the experiment.

Once the products are used in the experiment, their energy is discharged and they need to be recharged before being used again. Since there are several periods of optimum opportunity for a successful contact, it is suggested that we have three sets of charged products for each level.

Additional Effects of the Technique

In addition to the awakening of the three central sepheroth(or psychic centers)of the Tree of Life, the side ‘spheres’, or levels as Jean calls them, are also effected to some degree. These awakening take place according to the planetary order of the week: Mars on Tuesday, Mercury on Wednesday, Jupiter on Thursday, and Venus on Friday, just as the previous levels were awakened in descending order starting on Saturday, then Sunday, and completing the initiations on Monday.

Here again, energy, knowledge, and love, can be contacted on a higher level, via the new awakenings.

The Technique of Portae Lucis

The technique described by Jean involves a fairly advanced level of astrology and its relationship to magic and alchemy. However, for the sake of simplicity and easier availability, the use of planetary genius’ can be substituted. However, information on both methods of timing will be explained, allowing members to chose the methods best for themselves.

In addition to astrology and/or planetary genius’, the technique involves the use of A) classical Renaissance talismanic magic; B) a modified version of the Tree of Life C) a passive approach on the part of the experimenter, as opposed to a more active and involved system of mechanics. It is this extreme passivity that appears to be a problem for many who have been exposed to the Portae Lucis technique for the first time.

Unlike Qabalistic or Enochian magic, where energies are imagined and directed, here, the products to be charged are simply exposed to the planetary power during an astrologically favorable time, or simply unwrapped during the correct planetary hour, and allowed to absorb the energies in an a gentle and natural fashion. It is no more complicated than dropping a sponge in a basin of water and allowing it to slowly absorb the water to its fullest capacity on its own. The same products are then exposed several times to insure maximum harmonious charging, and are stored in silk, plastic, or other non-conductive materials so that they maintain their psychic charge.

Once charged, they can be seen and touched only by their owner or they will lose some or all of their energy. The only exception to this is married heterosexual couples working together on the technique. In this instance, both partners must be present for the charging of the products a majority of the time.

The modified version of the Tree of Life being used for this method involves the positioning of Saturn where Daath is located on the Tree, and placing Hockmah and Kether directly above it. These latter spheres are seen as aspects of Eternity, or Unity, however, for it to be digestible to our human minds, we perceive Unity has having three aspects: Eternity or Timelessness (Binah/Saturn), Spacelessness (Hockmah/Zodiac), and The Black Point of pure being (Kether).

Some people will experience the Black Point phase before they experience Eternity.

Creation of Matter and Consciousness

According to Qabalistic and Alchemical theory, matter is created by the increasing density of human consciousness during the so-called “fall” so that we can obtain experiences of individuality. This individuality allows us to obtain experiences and knowledge. It is this knowledge that allows our human seed in potential to grow and return to Unity as a human in fullness of wisdom, knowledge, and love. We go from conscious being in potential to conscious being in manifestation.

The “Fall” is our conscious descent from Unity into the Creation of Duality and matter. The “Return” is our conscious re-ascent through matter and expansion of consciousness, as an act of free will on our part.

The higher realms are cut-off from us, and we can then only contact them through dreams, initiation, or the creation of archetypes.

The first matter that we create is the Mineral realm, or our Mineral Tree as it is called in Portae Lucis. Here our consciousness descends and increases in density, thus limiting is expression, through the mineral world. Once it reaches maximum density, it returns up the mineral tree, increasing in consciousness and decreasing in density of matter. This same process is repeated for each of the three additional Trees – Water, Air, and Fire.

It is at the Fire Tree that human consciousness is attained, as we know it, and the beginning of the Path of Return begins. Thus, only Fire Element can allow us to expand in consciousness as human beings.

However, the three other Elements are used, so that we may correct any energetic corruption’s that might exist in those Trees within us. To take maximum advantage of our Fire Tree, our Earth, Water, and Air Trees must be in order.

To maintain or achieve these energetic conditions, we use a talisman for each of the four Trees on each of the three levels.

These talismans consist of the following elements:

Saturn:

Mineral – Diamond or graphite
Water – dry herb/tea or tincture of horsetail
Air – Sea Salt
Fire – Rain Water

Sun:

Mineral – Native gold or sulfur
Water – tincture or dry herb/tea of Eyebright or Celandine (the Lesser)
Air – Sea Salt
Fire – Rain Water

Luna/Moon:

Mineral – Native Silver
Water – tincture or dry herb/tea of Veronica
Air – Sea Salt
Fire – Rain Water

The rain water can be collected in a glass or plastic container and filtered prior to use. It should however, never come in contact with any metal or it will lose its charge. The native metals are metals that have not be processed or come in contact with other mineral compounds or agents during their extraction. The sea salt must also be natural sea salt, unprocessed, usually gray in color, and highly hydroscopic. When exposed to the air it should become hard and solid as it absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment. A health food or natural food store should be able to order it for you if unavailable.

If the salt is white or granular, it has been processed and will not be as useful for the experiment. This is based on the basic alchemical principle that when a crystal is dissolved, its energetic qualities are lost. If it is properly charged sea salt will have strong purification qualities.

Natural products are what are used in this initiatic Path, as they offer the greatest potential of energy storage and release.

Since sea salt and rain water are used on each of the levels, three separate containers of each will be needed. If three sets of products are used for each level, then additional containers will be needed.

Charging the Products

The simplest and easiest manner to charge the products is using the planetary hours and their genius’. This manner takes several repetitions to insure maximum charging, however, it avoids the problem of astrological timing during the year.

If you are unsure what a planetary hour or genius is refer to the Fundamentals of Esoteric Knowledge course material and look it up. In general however, each day is ruled by a planetary energy as previously described. It is in its purest power for a period of time immediately following sunrise. This period of time is known as an ‘hour’ however it represents a cyclic pulse of energy, and not a sixty minute hour. Depending on the time of year, the ‘hour’ could be as much as an hour and forty-five minutes or as little as forty minutes in terrestrial time.

Consult the course material for information on how to calculate the length of these ‘hours’, or The Philosophers of Nature website for a program download that will do it for you.

First Method: Using Planetary Genius’

On the first planetary hour of Saturn (immediately following sunrise) on the day of Saturn (Saturday) place your objects before you in your oratory. Your oratory should be illumined by a single candle, and no electric lighting. The windows should be covered as well to prevent any light from entering.

For the first quarter of the planetary hour, or between ten and fifteen minutes have your mineral product in front of you. Seek to obtain a empty and receptive state of being. Attune yourself to the energy present, but do not invoke it or attempt to direct it in any manner. Seek only to experience it as it courses though your sanctum, charging the object in front of you.

Then, when sufficient time has passed, place the mineral product in a plastic bag, or wrap it in silk, and place the Water product in front of you. Repeat the process or receptivity. Continue with each of the following Air and Fire products for ten to fifteen minutes each. When all four products have been separately charged, they can be wrapped in the same silk or plastic bag, and stored away.

Once charged they should never be exposed to sun, moon, or electric light, and only handled by the persons or couple charging them.

The process is then repeated on Sunday for the solar products, and Monday for the Lunar product.

It will take two to three months for a sufficient charge to build in each of the products. If you are charging three sets for each level, then they can be charged simultaneously. Once a product is used, it must not come in contact with charged products or it will draw off their energy.

Second Method: Zodiacal Configurations

Following the same method of passive charging, the products can also be loaded during astrologically favorable times of the year. This method has the advantage that it charges more quickly, but the disadvantage that it takes an entire year to do it, and if a cycle is missed, so is the opportunity for charging for that year.

Saturn product are charged after the winter solstice, around January 10th.

Solar products are charged thirty minutes after sunrise, with the moon under the horizon, forty days before or after the Winter Solstice. Solar products should not be loaded during the above mentioned time frame as the Air and Fire Elements are weak.

Lunar products are charged when the moon is above the horizon and within three day before or after the day between the head and the tail of the dragon. The sun must be under the horizon however.

Times to Avoid

The period of two weeks prior to an following the Winter Solstice is to be avoided for all Alchemical, Qabalistic work, or the charging of these products. Thus, we stock energies via astrology or planetary genius’ when the energies are strong and easily available.

The Technique of Experiencing Eternity

The period of two prior too and following the Summer Solstice is the best time to attempt a “Contact with Eternity”. Thus, as stated, several attempts can be made, so long as several sets of charged products have been prepared. The attempted contact can be made without such preparations, however, its effects may be more strongly felt, and period of weakness experienced for several weeks if the contact is successful and the supporting materials are not used.

On Friday Night, prior to the chosen Saturday, at midnight, light a candle in your oratory and contemplate your desire for a “Contact with Eternity”.

On Saturday at sunrise, unwrap your Saturn products and place them in front of you. You may ingest the tincture is your desire, or dissolve a bit of the herb in water an drink it. Put a bit if the sea salt on your tongue and rinse it down with the filtered rain water. You may even place a little of the salt in the water and put a drop or two on your forehead, as this is aimed at stimulating the true inner baptism. Be passive and receptive to the energies of the moment. If a strong shock or sudden uneasiness should overcome you, then wrap your products and end the session.

The feeling of uneasiness may come within a few days after the attempted contact, or a strong depression may be felt. If so, then the contact was established.

the beauty of ununderstandign

the beauty of ununderstandign

If several sets are being used, be sure to keep the discharged products away from the unused ones.

On Sunday about a half hour after sunrise, with the sun above the horizon, light your candle and repeat the process with the Solar products. A cardiac response may be felt, along with a terrific love, even unto weeping, for humanity.

On Monday, the same pattern is repeated using the Lunar products. A strong intuition, memory, or knowledge may occur.

On the week following the contact, if it is successful, each of the days following offers unique opportunities: Mars gives strength to replace what was lost; Wednesday occult knowledge, of a more technical nature; Thursday give wisdom of occult and religious organizations and philosophies; Friday assists in transferring the love of the heart to the world, and knowledge of the Seven Secondary Principles.

The contact can be attempted one week before and after the Summer Solstice, for a total of three contact periods offering maximum opportunity for success.

However, this is just a guideline, some have experienced the “Contact with Eternity” spontaneously as directed by their Inner Master. All we do is prepare ourselves, and present ourselves for initiation when the energies are most favorable. Several attempts may be needed for the contact to be successful, but once it has been, we can as Sendovious the Pole wrote, “Burn all your books, including this one!”

The discourse on time and space

Yes, no news is good news. The large hadron collider is not producing anything much if not the excitement of porn scientists which I do apreciate as they come down from the anti-experiential lineage, or at least they had no choice than do so.

So time and space remain in the realm of flexible extensions of human thought where two diffent places and two different time cause no wander when they coexist in the same space and time.

well, that’s what my grandfather, now almost 95yrs old, said one day in front of the TV: ‘e c’sfaccimm, cu nu piret ‘a gent s’indegn e i ca putess scassà nu neutrin a capat, c’avessa dicere?’

He is right, as all ancient wisdom puts it: if things are because they exist in tangible terms, then there is not even a present if it is a transition between two non existing states: past and future. Either non of them exists, or all three co-exist. Oh yeah, I think this is more like it.

Simulacra and sub-simulation of post-modern reality

Baudrillard did influence some of my thought patterns, nevertheless as one would put it it is becoming difficult to remember you are observing reality from within it and any objective thought will never really be objective. so it is the subjectivity of an hermeneutical ground that really sets in… anyhow, as impressed as one could pretend to be it is the passion and emotion of the 5 senses that off the 99% reality of the remaining unobservable universe.

Here is a taste of university of southern california students productions on this topic:

No news is good news, until real news come

Yes, I wish I had time to update the blog as often as thoughts spring in my mind. But it is pure utopy seen the amount of things I manage in my every day life. I chose to have this place for myself, so the rare readers that come across the posts (about 700 according to stats and since end of 2006) are already a surprise. Semantically attracted by the earthly provocations, they read, perhaps reflect. Writing a couple of sentences is all the time I have. Neverthless, one theme is going to be tackled more in depthb over the coming months. Oligarchies for the near future, few human beings that already today are gathering around some arts forms and styles (rock, surrealism, etc.) driven by a profound humanistic belief, scattered throughout the 5 continents and evolving, becoming through an entropic and looping rite of passage: Cogito ergo fio, I think therefore I become. They use the ever renewing forms of knowledge and keep ahead of them like they were surfing an unending wave. They don’t keep it for themselves for their own materialistic sake, but disseminate it filtering what is appropriate for each person needing and deserving it. They know the same as many others, but are capable of expanding the relevant and forgetting the irrelevant. This principle permeates all aspects of life, like the 99% reality physics senses but cannot measure. Since the dawn of history many have acted according to this principle but no one seems to know exactly because it was not an earthly show, it was the motor of history. It moves everything, it fuels everything, so this principle is capable of converting all negative tendencies to positive evolution. In specialist work environments it changes negative economic trends to positive ones. This is actually my real job, I exorcise work communities in the technical merit and not on the superficial training level and turn the destiny of f*#?!d up companies to gold. Applied to human communities it does the same. An alchemical approach to modern life, to which this blog will now be dedicated. If I were to simply publish many years of research and writings I would do it for myself. My idea is therefore not to profit from this simple principle which all know but don’t use, or better many pretend to depict in costly texts, lectures and media to enphasise the centrality of themselves. No one is at the center anymore if not the cohesion and evolution of mankind itself. As it always was, nothing I or anyone invented, really. Time is now, though, to slow down the mad race towards a headbang into the wall of history. How numerous the reactions, comments to this blog etc. does not matter. What counts is the classical web metrics of the conversion rate. People reading/people understanding/people enacting the principle. The same things have been, as i said, been scattered in texts and arts over the ages in many forms and places from sufism, to buddhism, to all religions and some modern science. I don’t pretend to recapitulate, but expand the basic concepts in a totally random manner that stimulates everyday actions and interactions. The same I did since 1988 in my first post on an american BBS under a well known nick, in my very first web page in 1993 when I lived in London and had a ISP (Internet Slow Provider) called bogomipunder a nick called the cook of globalism, etc.. So nothing new for myself either. Just the time has come to push hyper-realism out of the closet and use this blog more seriously, not always since a big slice of etherean reality is a great sense of fulfilling pleasure. By the way, I am a neapolitan by birth (mergellina) and growth (capri and vesuvius) and the seed of my personal evolution in the world is rythmed by the stereotipical aspect of being linked to the bad guys is postmodern mystification. Actually, we conceal a much more significant strength within us, a very deep culture comparable to many eastern, african and latin and native american people coupled with an usurpassable capability to sense and read reality as well as an hability to influence otherness rather than fear it and dismiss it.

The shapes of substance

During my academic years I was labeled as an anti-modernist while I thought that if anything I was a post-modernist. A label is a concptualisation of beeing. I understand the effort, but still can’t decide if I like the effort.  The modern expression of government, social organisation, ideology, so called development, science all had a critical break point intrinsic to their nature. this was the perception of a critical eye and mind that could foresee and not believe in the eternity of the categories of modernity.

Now, communism died in most of its nationalist expressions, not all, so did liberal democracy in a number of equal nationalist expressions, as did capitalism that like communism committed suicide by over doing it. What’s dying next?  Pure form, without substance. Substance is advancing from a barely perceived embryo, once dressed by any ideenkleid, to a shape full of significance. what once was an intuition is now becoming the blossom of social, economic, scientific change, or better, final evolution which will pull the human race out of the rat race and put it to a better use. Humans will start using neurons to evolve and not to implode, as long as it is not too late.

Thats what we evolved into

That's what we evolved into

Wisdom of the few: it doesn’t fail like banks

When 20 yrs ago I decided to study and research into knowledge sytems which were not modern or western, I focused on India. Yet, it was no surprise to find feminists male and female, and mostly people concerned about finding a way for a really better future. Many of them, over the past 15 yrs have won nobel prices, but it is not the prices that are interesting, rather it is the fact that whilst citybank and lehman brthers go down the drain, people like mohammed yunus (http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Yunus) strive and help others to do the same. What’s next? Gandhism and orientalism as the basis of a new model of society.

Social business is not a strange option

When I founded my first company in italy 7 yrs ago, comergy – complex sinergy, i needed to ground it on solid ethical ground as I would have never sold a single piece of my heart to modern capitalism. So I started supplying Research and innovation services even to those that didn’t understand what i was talking about. As long as they paid. So I squeezed and still do so todate, into business processes uplifting the level of ethics adopted by all and in all processes of the companies I served. It is now time to change, accelerate evolution:

(extract from wikipedia) .:. Social businesses can be defined as follows:

Social Businesses seek to profit from acts that generate social improvements and serve a broader human development purpose. A key attribute of social businesses is that an increase in revenue corresponds to an incremental social enhancement. The social mission will permeate the culture and structure of the organization and the dual bottom lines – social and economic will be in equal standing with the firm pursuing long term maximization of both.1

In his book Creating a World without Poverty – Social Business and the Future of Capitalism, Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus defines what a social business is and what it is not. It boils down to the following requirements:

  1. social objectives: it needs to have positive social objectives (help comes from the altruistic social services that the business provides to the poor): e.g. health, education, poverty, environment or climate urgency
  2. community ownership: it needs to be owned by the poor or disadvantaged (dividends and financial growth return to the poor where their fiscal situations are helped bringing them out of poverty): e.g. women, young people or long-term unemployed
  3. non-profit distribution: investors may not, after having had their investments paid back, take profits out of the enterprise as dividends.

A social business is driven to bring about change while pursuing profits. Although from a strictly capitalistic perspective it seems foolish to pursue a goal other than profit, social businesses aim to meet certain social and environmental goals. The Grameen bank is an example of a business that combines two of these business models into one; it offers social services and goods to the poor and in addition is owned by the poor.

Yunus postulates a new world of business in which profit-maximising enterprises and social-benefit-maximising enterprises coexist. In addition, a social business would operate much like a profit-maximizing business in that the company as a whole grows financially and gains profits. The only difference is that the company’s shareholders and investors would be re-accumulating their initial investment as opposed to receiving dividends. He calls the latter social business enterprises.

Social Business Enterprises

Social Business Enterprises (SBE) are based on the benefit maximisation principle. They are operated as a business enterprise with the objective to pass on all the benefits to the customer. SBEs are non-loss, non-dividend companies that compete with profit-maximising enterprises and other social business enterprises.

Key ingredients to the success of the approach are education, institutions to make social businesses visible in the market place (a social stock market), rating agencies, appropriate impact assessment tools, indices to understand which social business enterprise is doing more and/or better than others so that social investors are correctly guided. The industry will need its Social Wall Street Journal and Social Financial Times.

Non-dualism in eastern philosophy: the Advaita vedanta

 The Indian mystical philosophies and religions are concerned not so much with the manifest reality we see about us, but with the unmanifest Absolute Transcendent.  What matters is simply the practical attainment of a state of this universal, transcendent, transpersonal existence.  In that state, there is no difference between individual Self (Jiva) and God (Ishwara); there is only the qualityless Absolute (Nirguna Brahman)[1]. In short, they are not a mental or analytical philosophy as we understand the term in the West, but rather a conceptual system for guiding yogic practice, with the goal being the complete transcendence of embodied existence.

Perhaps the most important school of Indian spiritual philosophy, Advaita Vedanta originates from the writings of Gaudapada and Sankaracharya, who in turn were commentators on earlier scriptures such as the Brahma Sutra, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Upanishads.  As with all Indian systems of thought, Advaita Vedanta is at the same time a school of philosophy, a religion, a theology and a doctrine of salvation

It’s basic premise is all that all that ultimately exists is the Absolute Reality, Nirguna Brahman (“Brahman without qualities”).  The phenomenal world has empirical validity.  But it has no absolute reality.  It is ultimately maya - a magical show – and mithya - false (neither real nor unreal).  All that exists is nothing but Brahman. One’s individual self is  ultimately no different from Brahman, hence the importance given to the Upanishadic sayings “I am Brahman” and “that thou art”.  It is only a sort of metaphysical ignorance (avidya) that prevents us from realising our true nature as one with the Absolute – as in fact The Absolute Itself.  Once avidya is removed there arise the experience of the Atman’s identity with Brahman.  One becomes jivanmukti - liberated while in the body – and after death attains Moksha, identity with the Absolute.

Fertile voids & vuoti fertili

Ebbene, quello e’ l’utero caldo in cui vorrei vivere e invece solo
sporadicamente mi permetto di ritirarmi. Ora funziona bene in eremo, nel
vuoto totale, eppure anche in uno stadio zeppo di urlatori mi crogiolo
piacevolmente nel vuoto fertile di dentro. Ma ci sono degli equilibri
chimici interiori che sballano, e energie esterne pervasive e negative verso
le quali l’io alza false barriere temporanee (x fortuna) che diventano
costrittori e generatori di falsa pienezza. E li si blocca la mente, soffre
il corpo. Fin quando ti ritrovi a volteggiare di nuovo nell’infinito,
guardando tutto dall’alto e da fuori, con controllo ma senza spiegazioni e
replicabilita’ scientifica della situazione. L’uno esiste tra l’interiore,
il prossimo (prossimita’) e l’infinito. Per questo in eremo, sparita la
viziata e viziante prossimita di cose e persone, l’uno interiore si fonde
nel giusto: l’infinito cui appartiene.
La tecnica gestaltiana personale unisce l’uno all’infinito.
http://thecreativitycoach.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/12/the-fertile-voi.html
queste cose sono la tua scienza, la mia viene da bruno e le
pseudo-discipline sufi e vediche. Ma alla fine anche questa fonde nel
concetto di valore reale e irreale. E’ piu reale l’uno nell’infinito cui
appartiene di quanto non lo sia l’osservato (cio che giace in prossimita dei
5 sensi che proiettano quella visione dentro l’essere che la riconosce come
innaturale e spreca tempo e energia a darne una interpretazione) finito che
non e’ parte dell’uno ma solo infinitesimo quid dell’infinito. Ovvero, il
prossimo e’ la parte piu visibile dell’infinito? Secondo la fisica
quantistica meno del 5% dell’energia che gira nell’universo, e pure la parte
meno evoluta e raffinata…
