ADVENT 942 - Look Up at the Stars & Ye Shall See Your Self

[QuestforEudaimonia]

Atlas, the earliest teacher teacher of astronomy & Hercules, the earliest student of astronomy. Why were these two figures memoralized on the title page of Christophorus Mangus's Uranometria (9)? Among them also is Apollo & Diana.

Our history is not just symbols, allegories, metaphors, idols, & riddles -- It is reality. "Think outside the box!"
Remember who you were before the world got its hands on you; retrace your steps to the you outside the box of knowledge that paradoxically confined you. While on your path of retracing steps you had yet to take, think back to human history; think about the cartographers who drew up the maps of the heavens. Retracing steps no human had yet traversed. Be the cartographer of your own life so you can draw up a map that helps navigate your true Self.

Not a "who were the SAPTARISHI" but rather WHAT IS? A Starship. The Seven Senses. The Seven Seers. THE SEVEN MIND-BORN SONS. In astronomy, the Saptarishi form the constellation Ursa Major.

How can any "normal mortal" ever seek to achieve interstellar travel when currently living in a socio-economic box of which trying to escape is nigh impossible? Remember DAATH on the Tree of Life. The significance of abysmal exploration. “When you look into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you” - Nietzsche

The Supernal Triad -- Kether, Chokmah, & Binah -- is separated from the SEVEN other Sephiroth, by not by a space known as Daath or "The Great Abyss." Do you ever ponder the insanely & purely awesome chance that we, Earth & the growing civilization known as the human race, ever existed? One idea that is mentioned several times in the Zohar is that there were several failed attempts at creation before the present one; these attempts failed because mercy and judgement (e.g. force and form) were not balanced, and the resulting detritus of these failed attempts, the broken shells of previous sephiroth, accumulated in the Abyss.

Dost thou ever consider that all those planets, within & outside our solar system, are the "failed attempts" of creating a habitable world in which at least just one species of creatures could survive, thrive, & dream? If the God that spoke to Abraham did in fact create us in their image, then would that god not just be another Hue of your fellow Man?

Do you ever paint a picture of little ol Lucy, the big bad wolf, the Daemon of Demons, as just a regular human who ascends to the heavens. Perhaps the only one who is permitted to understand & thus bare the weight of said understanding to be serve as that very balance between Mercy & Judgement, of Force & Form. Satan is 5 the balancng point of 1 through 9.

We have ONE (God) & we have TWO (Satan). TWO in this context is not the number that which comes after but a number that which was the result of dividing the ONE into two without losing anything from the ONE. The ONE is "out there & in here" whereas the TWO is "in here" and understands with DIVINE PERCEPTION the connection between the "in here" & the "Out there."

And as always my friends
Much love. Forever & always.
