Creation is a thought of ours. Thinking is not a process that happens over a period of time. Time is also a creation of thought.

(article) Devil of the Astral Light: Eliphas Levi’s Baphomet - By Michael Osiris Snuffin

"The dread Baphomet henceforth, like all monstrous idols, enigmas of antique science and its dreams, is only an innocent and even pious hieroglyph.” 

"This agent... is precisely that which the adepts of the Middle Ages denominated the First Matter of the Great Work. The Gnostics represented it as the fiery body of the Holy Spirit; it was the object of adoration in the Secret Rites of the Sabbath and the Temple, under the hieroglyphic figure of Baphomet or the Androgyne of Mendes.” - Eliphas Levi

(article) The Mage's Guide to Adepthood - A guidebook for the solitary seeker - Aaron Leitch

If Knowledge is an ocean, than the search for it must be an abyss. Perhaps that's the key to the use of the Hebrew word "knowledge" to refer to the gate of the Abyss and the underworld. This is not exactly heartening news for the aspiring novice; especially when facing the overabundance of information presented to him (or her) in bookstores, libraries, and (worst of all) upon the internet. Far from the times of the Dark Ages and the world before the printing press, this is the Information Age and the time of the Information Superhighway. One does not tend to get far in any subject matter without a vehicle of some kind, and this especially refers to the art which we still insist on referring to as "occult" (ie- hidden).

This segment of the video focuses on the concept of Satan as being divided into Luciferic and Ahrimanic influences and how these influences relate to the Middle Path. 

As per the works of Rudolf Steiner, in this video segment Rob Gilbert divides Satanic influences into two beings, Lucifer and Ahriman, and shows us how neither is bad per se. Each provides gifts to human beings that further our evolution. It is us who must learn to balance these gifts in our individual lives. It is only when unbalanced that these influences become negative to the individual.

(website) Work of the Chariot

The Trust was rooted in the oral teachings of an accomplished mystic who is a genuine master of the Tree of Life, a real "Man of the Ayn." The emphasis of his teaching was to engage in practices that would lead each individual to their own experiential understanding, their own ascent of the Tree. After he was recruited by an ancient order of Mystical Qabalists, called "Ma'aseh Merkabah" (Work of the Chariot), to engage in work specifically intended to "water the mystical roots of the children of Abraham," he formed the religious trust through which to publish his original translations of primary qabalistic texts. He never put his name on any of the translations he published, nor took credit for his work.

(video clip) Hiah Park - Shaman Healer

A man walks in off the street into a gathering of shamans and finds himself spontaneously being drawn into a healing ceremony with Hiah Park which quickly renders him unconscious for a period of time. While his soul hangs precariously between the worlds, the situation grows very serious at one point and some of the shamans begin to fear that he may die. Eventually Hiah manages to bring him back with the assistance of one of the elders. When he awakens he finds that he has been rid of addictions which had been troubling his life. Some of the other healers present, especially the men, are shocked by the sexual expression involved in her healing. She has an interesting discussion about this with the other members of the group after the healing session is over.

Over and over again I always hear people talking about chakras and kundalini when it comes to meditation and spiritual cultivation.

(article) The Red Book; Holy Grail of the Unconscious has been discovered.

A book by Carl Jung called Liber Novus, a.k.a The Red Book, is being released to the public for the first time. It was discovered secretly locked away in a bank vault in Switzerland. The book is a first hand account from Jung about his own drastic, bizarre, and nearly out of control, decent into his unconscious mind which brought on hallucinations and anxiety that he may be going insane. He worked through this for 16 years and would later attributed every positive accomplishment and inspiration of his subsequent career to that mind bending personal journey. Jung's family has kept this book secret for decades until they were finally convinced to make it available to the public.

(video) Sukhavati: Place of Bliss - A Mythic Journey with Joseph Campbell

In Sukhavati: Place of Bliss - A Mythic Journey with Joseph Campbell, Joseph Campbell travels the world to track the mythological symbols lefts to us by the ancients. Primal mythological signs and images evoke strong emotions and serve as a sort of public dream, according to Campbell. Campbell reasons that dreams are private myths. In the program, he suggests that each person must find a dream and follow it through -- he goes on to explain that each dream will lead the dreamer to the myth world in which they spiritually dwell. In an attempt to show people that the human soul has always walked the same path in search of true bliss, Campbell gazes through the mist of the Bronze age, explores Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity, and investigates the mysteries of the ruins of Ajanta in India, Delphi in Greece, and Stonehenge in England.
