Introduction

In the Western esoteric practices there is an apparent gap regarding the role of esoteric practices and their effects on the subtle and not so subtle, bodies of practitioners. In the East, all practices, whether designated as such or not, are designed to awaken the residents of the semi-sleep energy in all creation, and "living beings in particular. This energy is known as "Kundalini", "Fire Serpent" and the "Dragon" according to tradition. Extreme care has been taken, despite contradictions between the systems, to trace the effects of exercises on this latent energy, and how it "flows" through the physical, emotional, and psychological, at what stages, and in relation to which the exercises. Such detailed analysis is lack of modern Western estotericism.

For Kabbalists modern, the most common introduction to ceremonial magic is the ritual of the Pentagram Small and Middle Pillar exercise. The aim of this paper is twofold: show how this and related exercise can stimulate the secret fire, and to suggest exercises for its regulation by students who are committed esoteric in a sealed way, such as general studies or alchemy, which experienced its awakening and need direct and simple exercises for its regulation.

Theoretical Background

Most students are familiar with esoteric modern pillar East of the exercise, as such, it will be the fundamental basis for much of this article. In addition, the Sepher Yetzirah, and a limited number of alchemical references will be made.

The basis of Kabbalah is that with increasing levels of density, humanity came into its current state of the physical incarnation and psychic evolution. Through rituals, exercises and meditations, energy latent in the creation in general, and the body of the practitioner in particular, can be "awakened", purified, and staged. This energy can then be used for spiritual development, mental growth or physical health and improvement.

Creation – "In the beginning …"

Creation is regarded as having taken place in the West and kabbalistic terms Alchemy, in the following process.

The divine spirit of God, the Absolute, or in Hebrew the Ain Soph Aur (Limitless Light), through a series of expansions and contractions sets the limits of creation. The world premiere is the most subtle and closer to the original state non-existence, and is Atzilooth. This is called the world of fire, because of living nature, indefinite, and almost uncontrollable fire. Next is Briah, or the world of archetypes and forms that our human mind can grasp. It is symbolized by the World Air, and result is like a world barrier is formed by the creation of the next World, Sepher, or water. This is the very strong emotional and psychic world behind the veil of material existence, or Assiah. Also known as the World Earth, due the solid, the concrete nature of the material life.

The purpose of this scheme is to show that the creation occurs in more and more dense levels of energy and matter, very subtle, or fire, the denser, or the Earth. In this context of increased density, it also arises a series of ten planes or levels of consciousness that combines with the energy and matter, known as Sepheroth or spheres of being. They occur in a pattern: unity, reflection, polarity, reflection, polarity, unity, reflection, polarity, materialization unit, and finally. The basic idea of the unity of polarity and re-alignment is the basis of kabbalistic and practices alchemical, and is derived from the observation of nature.

Each World is a reflection to a degree denser or more subtle than before or after. Each Sepheroth reflects, in part, of this or the following. However, since each reflection is only partial, or slightly deformed each sphere has its own characteristics. Only the so-called "Middle Sphereoth Four" have the ability to harmonize or reflect in all Total energies of creation, to a certain level.

This "zigzag" of creation is called "flash". The return of energy of dense matter, back through the various stages, Sepheroth, and worlds of creation is known as the "Snake Path" because its reverse, or complementary "zigzag" nature of safeguarding this diagram called the Tree of Life.

For the alchemist, some somewhere between the third and fourth level, or sphere of creation, energy takes the feature that will allow the formation of matter a future state, or ten levels. This energy is called Prima Materia, Chaos in the Bible, Spiritus Mundi (Spirit of Earth), and others. Here, duality is complete, and true polarity exists, as opposed to just the potential, or an idea, the polarity that existed previously. Power is divided into active and passive modes, with the active energy, forming the energies of life, and passive energy matter. In "The Golden Chain of Homer", the active energy is called Niter and passive energy is called salt.

The pulse of life manifests itself in two forms, fire and air. Although both are mainly active in nature, Fire is the most active of the two, with Air being slightly passive due to the partial water element in its composition. Potential material manifests its energy Water and Earth. These elements have nothing to do with the body material of the same name, and as such are capitalized and called "Elemental" to distinguish them from the earth we walk on the water we drink, air we breathe, and fire, we cook with. They are in fact energetic states, each with its own characteristics, and each of the previously mentioned ten levels of consciousness within them. The elements also preferable method interaction with each other to form the Three Principles of Alchemy. There are in fact, forty different energy of means-matter-consciousness can occur in our world.

The three essential elements are the alchemical principles Sulpher, mercury and salt. As the "elements" these concepts should in principle be thought of a "philosophical" and not literally as elements and compounds. Sulphur alchemical or Soul, of things prevails in the fundamental principles of energy (fire) and intellect (Air) alchemy of salt, or the physical body of a thing dominates the unconscious forces, psychic and instinctual intelligence (Water) and the solid matter (the Earth); alchemical mercury, or life force general, predominates in the intelligence (Air) and instinctual forces, and psychic energy (water), as this is the link, or bridge, between the superior forces of sulfur and lower body area.

In the field of minerals is the dominant energy of the Earth, a little water and very little air or fire. In the plant kingdom, the dominant energy source is water and air, but few Fire and Earth. In the animal kingdom, the dominant element is the strength of fire and air, but little earth. These qualities must be included as they were defined for the following information to be of some use to practice, or cadet, tight. For example, using the above definitions, we can say that the vegetable has an abundance of instinctual energy (water) and intelligence, ie a specific function (Air), but little direct energy (fire), because it is passively received from the sun and little hard, physics, field (the Earth).

In the East and West, the idea of philosophical principle elements and principles are expressed in more or less the same way. The undifferentiated energy of the original creation is often called in Indian philosophy and modern occult, and New Age circles, as Akasha or Spirit. However, Akasha, is composed of two (2) aspects, one active as we have noted, Niter, and other passive salt. The energies of nitre are also referred to as the force of Kundalini, spiritual forces. In alchemy, is the Secret Fire. For the salt, is the force of Prana or vital energy.

The role of energy is vital to maintain forms of physical life and existence. It is totally instinctive and unconscious and is heavily influenced by the cosmic cycles, astrological impulses, and other natural phenomena. The function of the Secret Fire is to grow in humanity, the only place where it is present, his sense of self, or "I". At the lowest level or functioning, the ego is at its highest, it is Divinity incarnate, as both are two sides of the same medal. One is "self" in relation to the physical world and others, the other is the "self" in relationship to all creation and as the co-creator.

In the vast majority of humanity, this Secret Fire, or liberating energy of self-consciousness, dormant, asleep at the base of the spine, coiled like a snake. Only a small amount manages to escape, reaching a level sepherothic, or so-called chakra, thus creating a loci of consciousness for each person. If it reaches the top of the skull, and beyond, a spiritual awakening can occur, allowing for a descent and re-ascent of the energy, during which the psychic centers can be awakened to the event psychic powers and related phenomena.

The Secret Fire ascends as a result of a temporary weakening of the vital energy in the physical body. This is why so many spiritual awakenings take place under great physical stress, times of illness, or near-death experiences. When the Secret Fire ascend through the various currents leading to mental and physical being enveloped in a bright sphere of light.

Experience Secret Fire, following the removal of vital body's physical energy, can create conditions that manifests itself in various forms

-Some perceive light as an angel, their Higher Self, or "Holy Guardian Angel", others as a spiritual master.

Astral projection may result, and the perception of the immediate environment.

-Uncontrolled physical movements may also result, typical of so-called 'kundalini phenomena, tremor, rapid breathing, swinging of the torso, vertigo uncontrolled and upright sitting position in the Pharaohs.

After a period of time, energy will come down and return to the base of the column spine.

The effects of this awareness will be some time before the conscience of the individual to adapt and not limited to "non-physical" kingdoms. The physical body, but to a lesser degree, is also modified and improved functioning, constituting a genuine "re-birth" several levels. However, it is the spirit, or sense of "I" of the individual to cooperate with this influx of power if more than permanent changes in consciousness must be made.

As you can see, the concept of Kundalini, or the secret fire, is linked to two polar concepts: that of the undifferentiated creative energy, and the second, as the seed of this energy locked on each cell of material creation, and focused in humanity at the base of the spine.

When this energy rises as a result of psychic experiences, and not because of physical weakness, can cause the body's vital energy to focus on different areas of the body, creating physical and disorders psychic. If the energy is concentrated in the head, it can create the illusion of a spiritual awakening, and the well known "hot and cold" flashes, or currents, from top to bottom of the spine. The effects of the Secret Fire, however, not its distributional effects on the vital energy, can create the following phenomena:

• severe pain suggestive of a

• Exploring feelings of ants or bugs on the skin, and a "jump" feeling of energy

• A feeling of calm and tranquility clear, place on center at the top of the head

• Ascending in the famous "zigzag" pattern or Rising Serpent

• Energy can move from one center or two

• The energy can reach the top of the head in a flash of light

• The character attributes of both positive and negative and exaggerated sexual potency is increased.

If the energy rises to the top of the head, then it becomes possible to work directly on the vital energy in the body, and use it as means to improve the mental experience and spiritual awakening.

In short, the psychic centers must first be awakened by the Secret Fire and purified, before the energy of the physical body can be focused on them.

Thus, our mental exercises and meditations esoteric are designed to prepare our minds, bodies and consciousness for the liberation of the Secret Fire buried deep within us. With an ongoing cleanup the blood, nervous system and endocrine glands, the chains "of vital energy on the secret of fire are reduced and eliminated, allowing power always present, and energy, a real pressure waiting to be released, into action. Thus the snake did not really sleep, it's us who sleep in his presence and blessing of potential.

The Secret Fire and Sepheroth

So he drove out the man, and he placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the Tree of Life. "Genesis 3:24

Use the "Tree of Life" has been both a blessing and a curse for modern esotericism. When included, the "Tree" proposes a comprehensive model and the creative work on both microscopic and macroscopic scales. However, when failure is on a personal level. Capacity apply information often very general tree to personal experiences to open when they deal with phenomena physiological deeply lack of modern esoteric circles. The reasons are manifold: First, many modern esoteric merely repeat what they have learned without feeling whether or not it is true on a personal level, on the other hand, the language of Kabbalah is several levels, with the same word with multiple meanings, the number of people using the words do not know what they really mean, or at what level it can be interpreted, thirdly, the diagram of the tree is simply too neat and compartmentalized. Many Kabbalists are unable to adapt to the reality that the inner reality is much more flexible than the tree allows when applied to the page two dimensions or illustration.

These problems are more complicated by the idea of "One Tree", but "Four Worlds" to much more significant, practical information almost impossible to find in regards crises of spiritual awakening and so-called Kundalini phenomena regarding the practical Kabbalah. Compared to the clear and explicit information available from sources Taoist and Tantric, it is not surprising that Americans and Europeans prefer both systems to the more culturally and historically linked.

To help solve these problems in the transmission of knowledge, only information that has a relationship to the experience of the author or others, he discussed this with the desire to be here. The theory will be said that the theory and the experience of experience. The meaning of common words Kabbalistic will be defined and redefined, to keep the communication clear and direct. Extensive use of the confusion and its relevance god-forms, references mythology and cosmology are not linked to personal experience will be avoided.

Raising the sleeping serpent

"Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert heat, it is necessary that the Son of man be lifted so that all those who believe have eternal life in him. "John 3:14-15

The Little Ritual of the Pentagram ritual is often the first learned by the budding magicians. Its function is to teach the basic mechanics of the ritual alone, and give a basic technique that can be pushed destructive energies dispersed or sphere of influence of the operator. The symbols used in the ritual are fundamental to other rituals of a more complex however, ignore the small ritual as less effective is a mistake. A ritual, whatever simple or complex is as effective as the skill of its operators. The repeated use of the LRP may be more effective than incompetent or irregular use of more sophisticated rituals.

In Altogether there are about six basic rituals used in western occultism reflecting the influence of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn: 1) The Little Ritual Pentagram 2) the Supreme Ritual of the Pentagram 3) of the Small Ritual Hexegram 4) The Great Ritual Hexegram and 5) the Rosicrucian Ritual. Use the flashing sword appears to be irregular, but it will also be taken into account with his companion or exercise, The Rising Serpent.

In these, the use of the Middle Pillar is optional, it is however, the Middle Pillar of the year making it the most to clean energy body, or vital energy, and make way for the release of the Secret Fire.

The Middle Pillar

"I will the victor a pillar in the temple of my God and he shall go no more and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God which is the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name. Revelations 3:12

Several variants of the Middle Pillar exercise exist, but the fundamentals remain the same. Whether or not elements are used as suggested Regardie in "The true art of healing" or Sepherothic / planetary correspondences as he suggests later (and is most commonly used) in his book "The Middle Pillar" is irrelevant. The methods used by Arum Solis is also considered a Alternative Exercise.

The theoretical basis of the Pillar East is only by the imagination, inspiration, and the concentration of psychic energy creation, mainly in Yetzirah, can be achieved allowing for a purification of the vital energy that holds the Secret Fire failure. As our psychic centers are cleansed of emotional, moral, and the residue materialistic, they better reflect the cosmic energy working through them. With its pre-described model of circulating energy, the Middle Pillar helps to smooth out the edges of our will, and increase the flow of energy in general directions, so that the psychic channels, both large and small, can be purified and reinforced by an increase of vital energy.

The pathways described for the Middle Pillar are circular in nature. They are mostly large, clear and bright, with a quality of reflection too. Regardie says that the psychic spheres must be thought of as large, clear, brilliant cut diamonds if no other color is known. Although at the end, the whole sphere, or will extend from the practitioner must be imagined as a brilliant-cut diamond releasing heat and light.

The beauty of the Middle Pillar is that she, like many esoteric practices, is really an exercise layers. Containing an almost infinite flexibility and growth potential. As the practitioner develops skills and manipulation of images, increases the amount of new possibilities.

One of the central movements of the East Pillar is the "fountain of light. Here, the practitioner imagines a brighter energy force their way through the soles of their feet and the top of their head, spraying the edges their will, making it strong and clear from any roughness, and the collection back to their feet. This imagery is repeated cyclically. This essential year, is the central part prepares the way for eventual disposal plants of the Secret Fire. It is also similar to the practices of the East as we sees Chinese Chi Kung, Indian Tantra, Yoga and Tibetan Vajrayana.

That being said, it is also Clearly there are differences between Eastern and Western methods of releasing the Secret Fire. The methods of working directly on the psychic centers, and climbing up the spine is more traumatic than the broader work of the Middle Pillar. For this reason, techniques of yoga, but a few, which are designed to immediately release the secret fire, require supervision of a guru. Be they so restrict the activities of the practitioner, and require close monitoring, they are also systems that are impractical for everyday life in the culture American and European.

Although similarities exist, and will be discussed, the main differences appear to be:

1) Indian yoga is primarily aimed at the liberation of the physical domain as a fast as possible. Western esoteric practices aimed at the perfection of matter and psyche in the material world, and not an abandonment of it.

2) Chinese Yoga, or Chi Kung, similar most western practices, in that it aims at the perfection of the material world, and even spiritualize the body in a body of light ". However, it is closer to Indian yoga, in that it begins at the etheric body (nadis or acupuncture points) and produces from there. This "bottom-up, and within" the approach is different pillars of the East "from top to bottom, outside" method. Because the etheric body is directly performed from the outset, the effects are more dramatic, and potentially traumatic for the people unprepared. In the Middle Pillar, the etheric body is often the last thing done. This is because the symbolism used, and the need develop skills in concentration, visualization, meditation and mainly due to the mentality of the practitioner for a long period time. Only after considerable practice, a year or more, on a daily basis, the effects of the East Pillar does begin sink into the astral body, and finally filter into the etheric body and physical practitioner. It is stated in one source, that a minimum three years for the yoga practitioner, even the most advanced to release the Kundalini through special exercises. A news "that we have said, is not a release to tell, but the removal of obstacles to its natural expression. This is a critical point because it is often said that experience kundalini often take twenty years of practice exercises esoteric or Hatha Yoga, the same amount of time it took to Nicolas Flamel make the Philosopher's Stone. At a recent workshop, Jean Dubuis said it might be possible to complete Flamel extreme dangerous method in three years. It may be that for the alchemist, the creation within the Sorcerer's Stone is nothing less than the Kundalini experience, and creating outside the stone is the ability to lead this creative cosmic energy at will.

3) Tibetan systems run somewhere between China and India, they are affected by the release, but also with creating an ethereal body because of their bodily essences. The diamond body, or rainbow body is the light pure and can appear at the will of the adept. As Chinese and Indian systems, Tibetans use a ritual to purify the mind emotions and practitioners, as well as visual images in both anthropomorphic deities and abstract geometric forms. The Ritual of the Pentagram and Hexagram fill this function when running the pillar of the East.

Thus, we can see, the major differences in Eastern and Western practices can be summarized in the function and the reference point of origin. Middle seeks liberation by the gradual untying knots of ignorance that bind humanity to the incarnation. The West seeks to perfect the material world which reflects the material reality of spiritual reality. An accomplished, the practitioner can then proceed to tell incarnate at will. The approach of the West seeks to be more active in the world and to transform it, while the Eastern approach is to see the world as an illusion which is impermanent, and as such, is more passive. These philosophies, like all beliefs and cultures, to reflect the physical environment of their first home. In the tropics and subtropics time the concern is less important than in the Northern Hemisphere where winter without food stores, is death for the community. The cold, hard reality of the Arctic zone to produce a different theory and technique, and as such, different ideal (the gods) than agricultural areas. Whether we is a nomadic hunter or a land based company is a reflection of the physical landscape where they live, and that the values of such effects, the philosophy of spiritual needs and and art.

This is crucial if one intends to take the esoteric practices on another land or culture. Why did it arise, and under what circumstances? These conditions are themselves applicable today, and the potential life of the practitioner? Given current conditions, practices are regarded as progressive or regressive in nature? That is, they are moving forward, or simply an idealization of a mythical past "golden age"?

"The heart encircled by a snake is my name! "Chaldean Oracles

Salt is a symbol of wisdom and learning. Saturn is associated with Ouroboros the Great Serpent biting its own tail, symbol of the prescription. As such it is closely linked with the land, but also the whole material creation, and these things along the non-being, or eternity. In a manuscript of the 15th century, the snake is composed of two colors, red and green. Red is outside and green inside. Green, the color of nature and of Venus, is the commencement of work. Red, the color of the stone, and Mars is the completion.

"Astris dominabitur Sapiens." The wise man must exercise dominion over the stars. As we correct the imbalances astrological (ie psychic centers or chakras) in ourselves, outside of astrological conditions have less of a negative effect on us. We gain dominance on "Stellar" forces and can "make the sun shine in our chapel where we should be so."

The student of the seventeenth century Jakob Boehme, Gichtel placed the cosmic spiral, or "wheel of nature" in the human body. theosophic of Practica Gichtel JG, 1898. Saturn is the crown, Jupiter forehead, throat, Mars, the Sun with a snake around her, heart, liver, Venus, Mercury spleen, Moon and sexual organs, or straight decent in the theosophical tree. This is the heart with a snake that attracts our attention. Here, it is also the element fire.

Egyptian initiates were also called because they pushed the beetles along the egg of regeneration.

Mysteria Magica, vol 3 magic Philosophy: The front included in the Middle Pillar (called: Clavis Rei [1st Form] awakening citadels) and color scale varies with each center. An additional use of higher twin snakes of the Caduceus are included end. The front is attributed to Saturn, and is said to balance the center of Yesod, and add power as other centers in the Middle Pillar of the Golden Dawn and Aurem Solis present.

Alchemy, the salt is derived from the union of Earth Basic and basic water (or Assiah and Yetzirah), the secret fire is "hidden" in the salt (material body) and represents the unconscious, instinctual forces seeking release. It is sometimes called "Hellfire" in this case either controlled or done badly, it can smell havoc on the body and psyche the student, through his cleansing effects. This is illustrated through 31, or a path of fire, sometimes confused with the "purgatory" or "Hell" UN-regenerated by passing through this way after death. This road is also under the direction of Mercury and Shin, symbols of spiritual direction and evolution. For those interested in notarikon, shares the same numeric value Shin, 300, according to the expression Hebrew, "The Spirit of the living God."

"I baptize you with water repentance, but he who comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. "Matthew 3:11

The letter Shin is often used in meditation as a symbol of divine light, life, love, or presence. It is envisioned over the head, just touch the crown, then inside the head itself (because it is associated with intelligence and energy of the nervous system in the Sepher Yetzirah), descend into the heart, and finally, expanding from there to engulf the meditator in a sea of fire. Because is composed of three flames Yods, or language, it is sometimes associated with flamboyant language of Pentecost, and a variety of concepts of the Trinity.

Several possible interpretations are available for use on this statement: One suggests that John the Baptist was Opening the repentance and the entry into the aquatic world of the Sepher, but Jesus offered an initiatory journey in the heat of the soul, or adepthood text. A second interpretation is that John provided an introduction to the track 29, or the path of water, while Jesus presented the most difficult and most rigorous way of Fire, or the path 31st to his disciples. None of these is a definitive answer, a modern attempt Kabbalistic to understand Scripture in the context of initiation practices. The mention of the Holy Spirit is more informative, however, that this phrase has been adopted by the Jews during the Babylonian captivity and is the origin of the Chaldean and Persian influences on Jewish mystical beliefs.

The term Holy Spirit (Ruach Elohim) is derived from the Zend Avesta, and the phrase, Spenta Mainyu, or "Holy (Creative) Spirit ". The creative power is implied and not included in the original, seems to be lost in future translations into modern languages around Jewish and Christian traditions. This Maiynu Spenta is a purification and regeneration of energy and intelligence of a cosmic crowd of six or seven intelligence at its command.

"He [Spenta Mainyu] is the realization of the quality of self-or activity of Ahura Mazda (the good spirit), He is the self-energy which leads to the creation and evolution of the universe. Spenta Mainyu is dynamic and creation is an ongoing process. For Zoroaster, holiness also means abundance, growth and health. Spenta Mainyu represents the principle of expansion and development in the universe. "(F. Mehr, p.29)

This can include people and their Mathrem Mathra or, literally, "the sacred word of power", which is the basis for development of the practice of mantra in India and "Words of Power" in the Middle East and Egypt. Manthrem Mathra or is itself regarded as the mantra Supreme which all others are derived, in the same way that YHVH is the origin of all the Hebrew names of God. This is mentioned because, in Persia and Babylon, the convergence of what was to become semi-independent Eastern and Western esoteric practices is completed. In a sense we could say to be the homeland of yoga, Kabbalah, alchemy and magic as we know them. Period art and architecture shows winged creatures familiar to Jewish tradition and Egyptian planetary charts, a first version of the Tree of Life, and many variations of ground snake entwined.

The Cosmic Triangle Fire

"The practitioner concerned must be endowed a knowledge of the subject of the Great Work, and also with faith, silence, purity of heart and devotion. After crossing the door surmounted hieroglyph of philosophic mercury he traverses the seven angles of the citadel, representing the Chief of Operations of the Great Work – calcination, dissolution, purification, the introduction into the sealed vessel of Hermes, the transfer of mud to] Athanor Oven [, coagulation, putrefaction, prisons, multiplication and projection. And even after reaching the Philosophers Petra, it is located is owned by a fearsome dragon. "

Amphitheatrum AETERNAE Sapientiae Heinrich Khunrath

Saturn is related to mercury in the alchemical text, and in view of sexuality as well ambiguous or androgynous, and is named Mercurius senex.

In Tiphareth, the geometric symbol is the triangle interleaved water and fire, or the Star of David. When expanded to connect the global sepheroth tree (with Saturn are allocated to Daath), the Triangle of water connects the spheres of Mars, Jupiter, and Luna. The fire triangle connects Saturn, Venus and Mercury.

Like Orobouros is the cosmic energy (the serpent) to limit itself (Saturn), Venus is the cosmic creative force itself to multiply in life (nature vegetative) as a prism separates the light from the sun. Mercury, like Saturn in many respects, is androgynous, and control the fire of creation, to guide in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone. Mercury holds the caduceus or winged staff with two snakes intertwined around it. Wings represent sublimation, snakes the basic forces of creation. Here crossover is the psychic centers, often given as seven in number, representing the colors here spectrum, more white (Venus). At the center of the figure is Sol, which is the cosmic creative forces that unite, lead, and harmonize the creation, and we can hope to touch. It is central, and directs and controls all the other planets, the psychic centers, or aspects of Cosmic Energy.

In communicating with the fire of the sun, we can open the fire of the other psychic centers (via Venus) and more easily navigate the restrictive and enlighten energy of Saturn, through the powers of the mind, or Mercury.

To understand these multiple aspects of the planets, especially Venus and Mercury, it is important to have made up Pathworkings Tiphareth. Although it is not required to perform the techniques later in this monograph, as an aid to understanding the theory.

However, we can begin to understand the relationship between the spheres to each other by making a series of meditations on the following idea:

Venus is the regeneration, sensual, strong Active Living at its vegetative means and unconscious. It responds to heat, light, and emotion. On the way to decent Venus divides the singular rays of the sun in the many facets of the color spectrum, and as such, may lead us to a better understanding of the relationship between multiplicity and unity, the psychic centers and planets, and their unique nature. On the path of ascent, Venus re-unites the energies divergent, the two planets and personal (psychic centers) and harmonizes them in a singular force, though still colorful, until he returns the Sun as the pure light.

"This stone rises more in things green." So when the green is reduced to its original nature, that things germinate and emerge in time, it should decoction and rotten in the way of our secret art. "Splendor Solis Trismosin

The stone is made by the greening of nature (Netzach) and returning it to its source (Tipahreth) by putrefaction (Map of traffic fatalities linking).

Mercury gives shape and meaning to various energies made by splitting the shares of Venus, and re-unites as fundamental forces, symbolized by the caduceus. Mercury is psychopomp, or guide the soul, and directs the energy that is Venus. Since Venus and Mercury sit at the base of the pillars of the Kabbalah, they have access to the material, astral and mental realms, and may affect all three to varying degrees. In the downhill, Mercury creates form and structure, body, mind or soul, and on the rise, mercury helps us to release the limitation of form, not forgetting its lessons.

The snake is a vital force or energy, fire and water being the principle of the creation of two, with the air and earth to follow. Because making the skin, it is considered a symbol of regeneration and renewal. It is also dangerous, deadly, is often found in "gatekeeper" roles or near sources of water and deserts. When controlled or control, is considered the master of a powerful and deadly, but the regeneration, a basis for creation, or, possibly, from which creation came.

The Secret Fire is directly related to sexuality, (and the principle is more fundamental creative forces) in humanity. Here, the relationship between 'Bliss' ecstasy' and the erotic impulse can be clearly seen and experienced. The development of a multitude of "sexual yoga" and the magic of sex (k) "practice confirmed to some extent. However, it is the sexual desire in humanity that acts as its core efforts and force of evolution. It also suggests that the ability and the need for a mystical experience is biologically rooted. Only to be ignoring the most basic pleasures, sex, can we ignore the will of the ecstatic union with a certain level. The "small death "or dead small, is a precursor of the Big Death" as we let go and experience forgetfulness divine.

potency, linked to our innate desire for mystical experiences, is also linked to human evolution, and a kind of predetermined point or state that we are headed.

This is important in that almost all modern Western societies the psychological focus on sexual repression and obsession.

If the Secret Fire circulates freely, or with greater force than before, without proper cleansing of the body's vital energy physics, it is possible that this will result in what appears to be extremely physical, but more likely psychological illness as schizophrenia and psychosis, rather than mental states gift, engineering, and either transpersonal states, or simply altered consciousness.

Wilhelm Reich, the father of the therapy that Orgon States the basis for all mental disorders and emotional anchored in the physical body, and that these anchors can be released through breathing techniques, a little like pranayamana. Since the body is the "salt" of alchemy, and partly composed of unconscious elements available through its "Watery Element" all our physical and emotional experiences become indelibly associated with or stored in our physical body. If these blocks, or concentrations of energy of emotional and physical trauma (consisting of vital energy) are not removed before the Secret Fire begins to flow in more intensity, the so-called negative side effects of Kundalini phenomena appear.

Drug abuse, alcohol, and extreme sex only aggravate the situation in that they inadvertently release the Secret Fire, by weakening the physical body and its relationship with the astral etheric damaging infrastructure and create blocks of energy at the end rather than diminish, when the mind and body attempts to make repairs.

A damaged nervous system by substance abuse, the vehicle for expressing delicate light, clean and powerful Secret Fire. Thanks to our nervous system (within the area of Yesod-Luna) that we engage both the physical world, as well as on the inside world. It connects the body (Malkooth) with the Mind-Intellect (Hod) and instinctual, creative, and sensual urges (Netzach). If it is damaged, our ability to give full, creative, and productive parts of these psyhco-physical-spiritual of our self is in danger. If it is damaged, then our most direct and important for our Holy Guardian Angel, and how to release the Secret Fire safe (via Tiphareth) is threatened in this incarnation.

"Listen, if I can do about the Grand Arcanum of this wonder-work of stone, which at the same time is not a stone, which exists In each individual, and can be found at its site at all times .... This is called a stone, not because it is like a stone, but only because because of its fixed nature, it resists the action of fire as successfully as any stone .... If we say its nature is spiritual, it would not be more than the truth, if we describe that body, the expression would be equally correct, because it is subtle, penetrative, glorified, spiritual gold. It is the noblest of all created things ... is a spirit or quintessence. "

Unleashing the Dragon

How long it need to UN-block our psychic anatomy to a more complete and harmonious functioning of the Secret Fire is not clear. It is clear that even the most advanced yogis require a minimum of three years of private practice for that to happen. Since this type of training takes place in specialized conditions and supervised we can assume that modern Western life requires more time, and self-reflection and guidance, since the average Western occultist, that or Kabbalist, alchemist, or both, spend most of their time working alone or, at best, a few small groups.

Some schools of yoga and the Kabbalah and Sufi practices see the heart as the center of the universe Solo, and most important of all the psychic centers. By opening the heart, we reach our inner Master, or Holy Guardian Angel (Messenger), characterized by a strong manifestation of intuition. This is the last resting place for the language after Snakes Mounted on the skull, and Boehme and imaging showed hermetic, the encircled "Heart with a snake" the ideal is an aspiration of mystics.

Like Yogi said, the approach of the "Big King" first, and allow direct the activities of the snake - language that is unfamiliar to Hermetics.

Adam Kadmon: Secret Fire and YHVH

"For our God is a consuming fire." Hebrews 12:29

Although alchemy, astrology and Kabbalah were homogenized in modern esoteric practices to create an almost perfect synthesis, this is not true of earlier periods. Traditionally, alchemy and astrology has played almost no role in the Jewish Kabbalah [5], and although it has been argued that Jews were can alchemists, and some great alchemists perhaps Jews [6], none of the manuscripts of Jewish alchemical practices seem to exist in any many. Even the most famous Esch M'saref, or "The Refiner's Fire" is a compilation of material, focusing mainly on gematria, and not a "chemical process" itself.

Early Kabbalists imagined the creation takes place in several stages, from which was generated the anthropomorphic image of the "primordial man" or Adam Kadmon. This "first man" was imagined as being packed four-letter divine name stacked one on another. Yod was the head, eh, arms and shoulders, Vau, the spine and sexual organs, and the final Heh, hips and legs. A host of attributes and qualities come to be associated with each letter, and as a whole, he formed his own school of kabbalistic meditation. By adding other letters, change combinations, and its replacement by letters on numerological equivalents, other divine names, names of archangels, angels and other spiritual beings have been generated.

The oral tradition of Adam Kadmon is similar to that of the Egyptian god Osiris, in the Osiris was dismembered and rebuilt, while Adam "Fell" in pieces and is the work of the Kabbalist to reconstruct the original Adam. Each of us is said to be a piece of the soul of origin and it is our goal to find our place in creation, by kabbalistic methods.

Saint-Germain and wisdom holiest triple

The idea of initiation into the Secret Fire psycho-alchemical texts such as Most Trinsophia Holy See (Three Fold Wisdom) [7] illustrate the point of hidden fire, combined with the volcanic power, and under the influence of Venus. Works such as this one resemblance to kabbalistic-alchemical texts, and either use the mystical symbolism of these esoteric schools, and such symbols are used to interpret text meaning.

In the text, tells the St. Germian have details of his initiation through twelve degrees of cosmic consciousness. Use Fire Earth as volcanic eruptions, lava, and seas of flame symbolizing the presence of an underlying energy matrix life that permeates the material and non-material creation, unification and constantly renewed by what may be seen as a violent activity.

The Most Holy Trinsophie is composed of twelve sections, each with its own illustration. The most obvious alignment can be seen, among the twelve sections, the zodiac, and the stages of alchemy. It may also be proposed for our considerations, the seven major and five small psychic centers.

The story begins with Saint-Germain on the beds of lava from Vesuvius, later, he spent an alter on which is a cup with a snake around her winger linked to twelve times. St. Germain then enters a wide field of fire in the midst of which is a gold-green snake with ruby eyes that he must dominate with a sword, the symbol of an enlightened will. By this act, the anger, hatred, and pride are driven out of his consciousness and senses are brought under management.

In one of the scenes, Saint-Germain is located in front of an alter with a triangular candlestick details. It formed the base case two intertwined snakes and ends in a lotus, and the cone in the center. Two panels included accompanying illustration. The first reads as follows: "For the strong is given the burden "and the second," light a fire in the high place that the sacrifice may be extended to higher than desired. " The final image shows the sky ablaze with light and a triangle inside a circle and square. The insider, here Saint-Germain, is accompanied Isis Revealed, the goddess of life and nature.

The images described illustrate that, even at the end of the era of the Illuminati alchemical symbolism and traditional Kabbalistic has been widely used by the esoteric. However, its direction was changed from classical music, the chemistry laboratory or, "philosophical" or "spiritual" alchemy. Like the Kabbalah had undergone a radical transformation from the alchemists and Christian mystics, alchemy itself has also changed. Although these manuscripts may be of dubious value for practical laboratory work, Fortunately, they are always value for the inner spiritual initiation – an opening that only the Secret Fire can provide.

Exercises

The Middle Pillar

The Middle Pillar is a familiar exercise of almost all students magic. The details of the exercise are clearly defined by Israel Regardie book of the same name, and will not go into here. Instead, exposure these relevant points in the Secret Fire will be exposed. These points are as follows:

1. The creation of Malkooth.

2. Dissemination light

3. The Fountain of Light

4. Malkooth that Kether

5. Relations Tiphareth Malkooth and to Kether

Secondary considerations will be given to:

1. The Ritual of the Pentagram

2. The Ritual of the Hexagram

Establish Malkooth

Malkooth or "Kingdom" is a complex sphere in that it represents several major concepts simultaneously. It is both our feet when the tree Life is projected on the human body (and knees and the base of the spine while sitting or kneeling), all solid matter, the earth and all material creation. It is our bone and marrow that they contain is a personal aspect of the Secret Fire. It is important that we have a keen sense of the Foundation as we speak of the Earth and Malkooth, so that in meditation, we can remain grounded and secure. The stronger our sense of connection to land and our bodies, we have more energy than we can produce and the easier it is to direct. It is analogous to trying to build a skyscraper on a slab poured concrete for a foundation to a four-storey basement. The best of the Foundation, the stronger the structure.

Since the Secret Fire is hidden in the earth, it is good to spend some time, even years, working in details of ritual Pentagram. Cleansing, harmonizing, projection, and the withdrawal of energy that are represented in yourself and surrounding area. The North is a particularly important area for concentration in that it is the Earth of Earth, which is our gateway to the Hidden Secret Fire. Buried in the nature of the solid material, is an energy underlying dynamic that keeps pulsations, giving rise to the form and life, and transform energy into matter and matter into energy. This underlying nature is illustrated in the sign of Taurus, the zodiacal seal given in the North. We see the Moon coronation a circle with a dot in the center, or the Sun. This sign combined lunar-solar point of the earthly nature to the theory that all matter is just concentrated sunlight, or hidden fire.

By combining the gravity of the Earth and heat behind it (the merger, the volcanic core) with our feet, knees, and the base of the column spine (and possibly our entire skeletal system), we can begin to experience the networking literal is formed from. This image is reinforced by the assertion that Malkooth and Kether are one. In imaging a stream of unlimited energy is led in and out of the creation of the Ain Soph Aur to Kether, and then imaging the same for the physical creation as you might imagine, to Malkooth. All spheres are often thought of as static beings or states, while nothing is further from the truth. They are alive, dynamic and constantly interacting with each other and the energy-matter of the matrix. This interaction is most clearly seen on the Middle Pillar and the spheres Central.

Kether-Tiphareth-Malkooth Triad

In Western and some esoteric East, all exercises begin with a lower energy level from the Crown, or Kether. This is done because Kether, is on the edge "Non-existence" draws its energy in and out of it. This energy is then regulated until it becomes manageable by our human consciousness, they say, somewhere around Chesed, on the cosmic scale of things.

On a personal level, Kether, or our staff of Crown, regulates the energy flow in and out of our body. We then direct this energy through our brain and the system nervous, until it becomes manageable by our consciousness. Just as Kether is the bridge between Being and Not Being a cosmic scale, Our staff is Kether bridge between energy and matter. In our personal being, is the pineal gland.

Malkooth is final condensation of these cosmic forces, and the cosmic scale is the whole material creation. On our personal level, it is our physical body, and as an intermediate, the environment in which we live and move in others. Since Malkooth is a world, that of Asssiah, and a sphere, it has its own "Kether aspect or capacity to create material that is denser in the more subtle. These more subtle forms of border question on their own field of "non-being" or that which crosses the pure material for the psychic. In our body it would be the prostate gland sex, perineum, and the base of the spine.

The meeting place for these two polar aspects of our being and creation, is in the heart center, or Tiphareth. Here, all creation is aligned and placed in a state of dynamic tension and vitality around a central intelligence. This intelligence directly any aspect of creation so that they can work in harmony with each other for the good of all. It is our heart to pump blood to all our organs, our pituitary gland, or "Master Gland" give instructions to all of our endocrine system, our solar plexus, nervous energy regulation in general, and the nucleus of every atom, cell, or the Sun in our solar system.

In his role mediator-in-Chief, Tiphareth is constantly sending the vital energy to all areas of creation and transmission of energy from Crown, or the highest spheres abstract at Malkooth, or densist levels of matter. It in many ways, is the regulator of this energy obtaining such a way that it can be said that matter itself is actually made by Tiphareth. In physical terms, this means that all matter is nothing but condensed light energy. On a personal level, its means that our body and the environment are the creation of our deepest thoughts occur.

To help develop a more conscious and more functional link between these three centers of trade energy-matter-consciousness, exercise is suggested:

Imagine a bright sphere of light with a binder, almost black center point just above or touching the top of your head. Inhale, drawing from a tree in your heart this area. Exhale, sending a shaft of light through your body and legs of the soles of your feet in the fusion center of the Earth. Inhale again, visualizing the fire energy of the center of the Earth moving through a golden red to listen to your heart. Here, the stimulation of the heart to the bright light. Exhale as the light grow in heat, the vital energy of light, and power.

It is important at this point that the energy not only be coordinated with inhalation, but be "breathed up 'of the earth and not forced. This can be done by imagining a solid, flexible, hollow tube or canal from the center of the earth, or feet, for the heart center. Energy can also be thought of running feet, like a pulse entering the spinal column, energizing and focusing the heart region.

Imagine, after a period of time, it is at the heart of the universe, and the follower, that matter and energy come together and are created.

Like our "heart experiencing feelings of direct boundless energy of Kether into manifestation, so they direct manifestation back to Kether, or elsewhere, if we wants.

It is very important that the heart is not overheating, and that once accumulated energy to be distributed or discharged somehow. This may be a talisman, a healing treatment, or a glass of cold water which is then consumed. It can also be discharged from the solar plexus as a general circulation in the rest of the aura.

In addition, vowels associated with the ritual Rose + Cross or IOA can be sung after skills in the basic skills were acquired. Firstly, the practice of singing sounds like a single breath, resonance of the center of your heart. After some time, begin to divide the sounds so that A resonance with the head, with my heart, and with the O solar plexus. After a period of time, move the sound to O on the perineum where it will affect the foreign Harbor Malkooth (s). [8]

Substantial resonant sounds in the perineum is open to 12 different channels that connect the spine to the legs, knees and feet, which unites these various "functional" Malkooths. It also carries the prostate gland in men.

Yesod-link between Selves

Yesod is mounted on the door of the invisible, and it is the repository of everything that rises and falls in the manifestation. He represents several key elements of our being, including our nervous system and brain centers psychic unconscious wishes and desires, and place of memory. With its sometimes dark and disturbing, but the waters still powerful, we can come into direct contact with our guardian angel Holy See Tipahreth. Imagining Yesod as a gateway that reflects up or down, we can learn to direct our psychic energies in both directions. In this way, Yesod is more than just a door that we hit something and hope is thrown out of us, but rather a portal, we can go through and it there consciously. Although much of this early expansion rise to dream states, like lucid dreaming, astral projection, spontaneous, possibly a greater degree of control will emerge, in which consciousness is intentionally planned and returns the memory is full of experiences.

This condition can be if Quicken, strengthening the link to Yesod Malkooth (for memory) and Tiphareth (awareness course). The following exercises are designed with two objectives in mind.

After performing the Middle Pillar, draw your attention to Yesod. imagine it as a great sphere of extending the edges of your aura expanded, purple. it back to their normal size, then imagine all your energy physics, malkooth, and throughout your body is moving up toward Yesod. It is your ability to move, to manifest and create in the material world. Imagine spheres merge and become harmonious. Now, pull up even further to Tiphareth, and bathroom of the composite material and energy psychic sexual Yesod in the golden light of Tiphareth, and feel the three merge into one. After several minutes, the draft back to their original positions.

Imagine the light of Yesod as being simultaneously a dual nature, reflecting up to and down to Tiphareth Malkooth.

Move Tiphareth and to do the same thing, imagine the light reflecting down to Yesod, and up to Kether, the source of all energy.

Imagine the perfect elements as pure ideas, from Tiphareth through a field free of Yesod, and condensation in the matter. Imagine your thoughts as pure and perfect ideas, projected from your heart, with the sexual-creative energies of Yesod, in the event of malkooth.

Imagine the pure light and energy of Kether above your head, become accessible in Tiphareth, your heart, and manifesting by pure creations Malkooth under your feet. Feel the energy reverse this process, ranging from hard, cold, dense matter, to forms of energy abstract, pure, undifferentiated energy. In addition, Rea Formula Clavis illustrator can be effective in this respect.

The light scattering, after the establishment of spheres should be bright, clear, and deep in the body and the extended formation. This can be done is phases with the first phase of work smoothly on the outside, forming broad bands of light, and the increase density and power as they begin to reach deep beneath the surface of tissue, bones themselves. This helps to anchor the power in the body, while widening and clearing the aura. At any time, energy should be palpable.

The fountain of light must travel through the spinal column slowly at first, and with more intensity and speed as the experience progresses. The bursting must be quick and bright, with a clear liquid coursing like flame on the edges of the aura expanded to a radius of three to four feet on all sides. Lose your car in the flow of energy as it passes through your body, your head, your feet, legs, purify and energyzing as it goes.

At the end of the year, you can collect energy in the sub-epidermal layer of your body, feeling strengthen and revitalize the fabric of sinking into the bone and marrow purification, an essential long-life and bone strength. It should also be made along the spinal cord, imagining that the soft tissue between the vertebrae are packed with energy and nerve connections are strong and vital.

The Rituals of the Pentagram and Hexagram

Rituals of the Pentagram to re direct the main elements of the material world (Assiah), matter-energy the closest matrix to our consciousness, and the outer personality, led materially from this incarnation. Through the leadership and purification in To some extent these elements, we can begin to turn our attention inward and have the vision of our Higher Self or Holy Guardian Angel, that exists in Kether, Tiphareth in press, and translated for us in the subconscious of Yesod.
