Kundalini

There is much written about kundalini, the fire serpent and the 7 centres. Consider what this inner fire feeds, what happens when the things that live off this vitality become supercharged?

The fundamental geometry that is at the root of kabbalah is Pi 22/7. The diameter is 7 divisions long of which the circumference is 22 of the same size divisions.

There is a relationship between the inner circle and its outer circumference, also a relationship between the inner world and the world of events.
What is this relationship?

The diameter divides the circle into two, duality, but it is neither, it is the central path between them, the Way, the Tao, Christ amidst the 2 thieves upon a cross.

The base chakra is generally depicted as having 4 petals, this is a cross.

In alchemy the symbol of salt is a circle with a horizontal diameter, salt is created by fire. The deadhead is removed by fire and often cleansed by water. In water the final fragments of the deadhead are removed, water of its own nature levels a perfect horizon – the symbol of salt, the leveller. Our world shows us this; the wisdom of Nature if one UNDERSTANDS it.

How does this translate to consciousness?
Firstly, it is all consciousness. The flame/fire burns upwards by its very Nature, the vertical line of the cross; the flame extinguishes when it has nothing left to burn, to feed on.
Water removes the final pieces that the fire did not eat and here we find the symbol of salt, an equilibrium, a level, a peace.

“he created he them male and female” fire and water,
From the Three Mother’s Meditation:

When the fire ignites the deadhead, our inner attachments, they become energized, and if we believe we are the attachments, our ego, then we become unbalanced, deluded for a time. By Nature, if we dive into the water, we must at some point surrender to the fall and the water.

This surrender is not a sleep, it is conscious, you don’t go to sleep when you dive into the water, do you? What I am saying is you must feel what is remaining, by feeling consciously you can cleanse yourself of the final attachments, if you don’t want the feeling you can simply let it go, relax. How simple is that – when the feeling is gone, it is gone. It is only ever momentary, in the moment; for if the mind wanders into the past or future it can recreate its world, its attachments. What is on the horizon right now is on the horizon right now, be present with it and there you will find the level, the equilibrium.

Look at the Moon card, the letter qoph, there is the water and the crustacean – leave it there, this is the quipoloth of the kabbalah and the path between duality to the inner occult light. The letter qoph “that which is transcendent of life and death”. Nature’s language!

Christ had 12 disciples – hours upon a clock, they all sit around the master of things, NOW. The night before the crucifixion, “And He says to Peter, “So, were you not able to watch with Me one hour? … So he said to Peter, “Can‘t any of you stay awake with me for just one hour?”
See it! Understand it and be present!

The achemic salt – the way between duality – it is the salt that completes the alchemic trinity; Sulphur the fire, Mercury the light of enlightenment and Salt the equilibrium to walk the path, the Way.
Christ said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me.” God the father, Son and Holy ghost; the trinity, the law of 3. The Hebrew letter Gimmel is 3, it is “the organic movement”, the High Priestess of Nature who sits between the 2 pillars – she is the Moon, the way seen in the card the Moon, she is the virgin, born of her – the Tao, the path of least resistance, NOW.

Upon her lap a scroll, Torah, the law, her gown flows as the waters of life, it is here that the inner light, the way through the darkness of this world is found. The Torah is the law given to Moses upon the mount, 10 Laws.

The 3 paths leaving Malkuth, the kingdom; Sulphur, Salt and Mercury; Judgement, the World and the Moon cards.

The World is Salt showing the Alchemic bride in the posture of fire standing in the mandorla, the central path with the element’s, cherubim, outside the central path of fire. This is the letter Tau 400, Saturn’s card; Saturn rules death, the deadhead of alchemy. Saturn is Binah, Understanding – what is it we gain from the fire and it’s light? The understanding of ourselves, “know thyself” – knowledge is Daath who has the guardian, the Beast, 666, protecting the portal between the supernal triad and the 7 spheres below, so the impure will not enter the supernal light. 6 is the letter Vau, the nail – 666 are the 3 nails that nailed Christ to the cross of matter, it is also depicted kabbalisticly this way;
3 nails and a cross 4 = 7.

YHSVH (Yod, Hey, Shin, Vaw, Hey – Jeshuah, Jesus), the Redeemer, that which redeems the true nature of things. Shin is 3 flames in one letter thus the 5 wounds (5 letters YHSVH) of Christ are 7 (YHVH 4 + S 3 prongs = 7), the central path (the diameter 7 of the circle 22), the Way, the Tao that fills the cup, the Holy Grail – your head fills with the supernal light.

Crucified upon the tree with his head at Daath and the supernal triad above his head, the crown of Shin, the spirit of God/fire that ignited the sacred flame YHVH, “for the Lord your God is a consuming fire”.

The beast is given two names; Coronzon Segal – each name has the value of 333, totalling 666.
If we consider 333 and 333 as two halves of a circle, the circle is divided by the diameter, creating the alchemic symbol of salt. The ego and its attachments cannot pass the abyss – death is for the ego but the soul, weighed by the scales of Maat, passes through the abyss into the supernal light.

666 = 18 = 9

9 can be seen as 7 and 2 or a line 7 that divides the circle into 2.
The letter Byth is the number 2, its audit spelling, its sound has the final addition of 7;
B 2, Y 10, Th 400 = 412 = 7.
Byth is the house or habitation, it is also the first letter of the first word of Genesis, Bereshith “in the beginning”, containing the 7 days of creation, day and night.

This is the card the Magician showing the control of the 4 elements at the table/alter with the serpent around his waist, ouroboros, the beginning and end, the Tao and the figure 8 of the Christos above this head, which is also ouroboros.

9 is also Yesod, the burning of the wick , the seat of Kundalini – it divides spirit and matter – this is the vitality where the spirit animates matter, fire ignites upon the offering of the fat of the lamb, Christ crucified, and the flame rose, transcendent of matter, freed by the sacrificial act of the lamb, the body and its ego, the belief we are this body.

(Note the cross of Saturn is on the wick, the path of Tau, the World, between 2 other paths, between the path of Shin/Judgement, the fiery Sulphur and cool water of the Moon/Mercury).

“And he created he them male and female, fire and water”.
Polarity. This idea is seen in the Tower card.

The cards below are the 3 paths from Malkuth,
the Way of the transmutation of man/woman.

The salt is the staff of the sacred caduceus, it supports the completed alchemic work seen in the winged globe of the supernal transcendent light, Christ amidst the 2 thieves. The salt is our true nature, the archetype shows in all who find enlightenment. Look at the wise, they all say similar things etc. Many see the body as man’s archetype, this is his form, but the archetype of his/her true Nature is beyond the body, “be in the world but not of it”.

The staff of the wise, the staff of Thrice great Hermes.
Moses turned the staff to a serpent and back to a staff.
We create our salt by fire and water – consider that, a polarity.

What do we learn from duality, from male
and female, good and evil?
Do we grow to become wise or do we shrink
and become embittered?

Our Staff is the central pillar, the diameter
within the circle, it is divided into 7 divisions
long, the circumference of the circle is 22
divisions of the same size.
The equation Pi 22/7 contains the tree of life,
the circle – the nothing in which all come
from is divided into duality, by the line 7;
7 days, day and night. We live in this system
of time, we take it for granted without
question – what is it and how does it relate
to us?

Within the circle are 3 components, the line
and the 2 halves.
If we add the 3 components to the 7 division
of the line, we get 10;
10 spheres upon the tree of life, these spheres
are connected by 22 paths or portions of the
circumference which are the same portion
as the 7 divisions of the line. If we subtract
the inner 10 from the outer 22, we get 12.
3, 7, 12; this is the arrangement of the letters
via the Sepher Yetzarah, the book of creation.
The 3 mothers, the 7 doubles and the 12 singles.
3 seasons; the hot, the moderate and the cold,
7 days of the week and 12 signs/months of the year.
We live in this as it lives in us, 3 + 7 + 22 = 32, the 32 paths of wisdom, the Tree of life.
3 + 2 = 5 – this is the first appearance of the Fibonacci sequence, the spiral of life, the Way of Nature, above and below. 5 is the letter Hey, life-force, Phi, the Golden mean, the Da Vinci Code, the secret of Christ’s decedents.

That is all of us, we are of the same father and mother, the cosmos – when we remove that which separates us, the creature we believe we are, we enter cosmic consciousness. The body expresses this, it is only the mind that does not realize this.

The same Way, Tao, is in all life; every division in your body, every portion of the fingers upon your hand is this. You are the living Way, the Tao incarnate. When you surrender to your true nature you enter the Way, the Tao, the Christ, the Son of God. “I and the father are one”. Not 2 but 1.

The 7 centres are the 4 elements and the 3 aspects of spirit, our sacred name, the grail itself, SYHVH.

The base – the Element earth, the sense of smell
the sacrum – water, taste
the solar plexus – fire, sight
the heart – air, feeling and
the throat – hearing, the first of the triplicity of spirit.

When you are truly present and listening, you will hear the hissing of the spiritual fire, the energy, you will see things in a different manner – understand this. The crown opens, there is one flower but many petals.

The base asks for surrender, to let go of the ego’s insecurities, to enter the way.
The sacrum is belief, the patterns you learn and act out without question.
The solar-plexus is desire, the sun shines upon your desires and you see them and not the light.
The heart is feeling – what prevents you from feeling? This is where you access your intuition.
The throat is the intuition manifest in mind, not just feeling, a cognitive space where it comes to mind after feeling.
The brow is to see, the light of understanding.
The crown opens – one flower many petals. “I and the father are one”.

A single flame, the way of light, “for the lord your god is a consuming fire”. The flame separates the light from the darkness, it is the Way, the central path, the Tao. It hisses as a serpent, a fire snake.
