You could say that the archons were created before us, before the earth before biology was manifest.  We are organic beings and they are inorganic beings.  There are two types of archons described in the Gnostic texts, a reptilian type and an embryo type.  Many abductees have described their abductors as having large heads like a fetus or embryo.

According to John Nash there is an account of the archons abducting us found in the text in the Nag Hammadi called 1^st Apocalypse of James.  It says, “They will take away souls by theft.”  Also in this text, it describes these archons as bullies that don’t ask permission to intrude on our reality and concluded that they are predatory by nature.

Legends found in mythology about the fallen angels, the watchers, the Annunaki, were identical to archons. 

If the archons wanted us gone we would be gone.  The reason we have not been annihilated is that they are not more powerful than us nor are they more evolved than us.  The Gnostics say the archons lack our evolutionary drive and are more like cyborgs in that they are more like a robotic race capable of taking orders.  They can mimic but cannot create anything on their own.  The Gnostics say the archons envy us and because of their envy they intrude on our reality in an attempt to overtake us and become like us.  They envy our ability to innovate, that we are goal oriented, that we have the passion to explore where they have only a very robotic capacity.

In the 2nd Apocalypse of James the teacher speaking to his student says, “They will not rule over you.  They do not have dominion over the earth.  They were not your creators.  But they are in the solar system with you and you must face up to their existence.”

The Gnostics felt the archons must be kept in their place and they felt the archons go out of their correct boundaries and intrude.  If ants invade your home they are not in their boundaries.  When the ants stay within their proper boundaries they are our friends.  We share our biosphere with many species and we all must observe our boundaries to live with each other comfortably.

Could it be true that we share our solar system with invisible beings called Archons?  Could they be our antagonizers like the Satan of the Bible who is said to be our adversary?  The fallen angels were said to be jealous of us because God placed humans above angels.

Perhaps the role of these adversaries is to keep us humans on our toes and to help us learn our lessons.  They could be seen as a necessary evil needed to keep us growing and helping us become stronger.  The archons may be like putting weights on the exercise equipment to build stronger muscles.

I don’t think I need to explain how powerful the mind is in making impossible things happen.  Your mind controls your reality and can make you think you are well and other times your mind can make you think you are sick.

Edgar Cayce had laryngitis for almost a year until Edgar had a session with a hypnotist who was able to regress him and was able to get him to talk just fine.  When Edgar returned to consciousness his laryngitis also returned.  It wasn’t until a hypnotist regressed him and then asked Edgar what was wrong with his voice and how to correct it.  Edgar gave instructions on what the hypnotist needed to do to help Edgar correct his ailment and it worked.

This story is really fascinating and you can read it in its entirety at http://www.edgarcayce.org/edgar-cayce2.html.

Imagine what your life would be like if you were in control of your programming.  The media, government, corporation and even religions know how powerful your mind is and many of them seek to control that power for their own reasons.

Advertisers know how to subtly manipulate your interest in their products and they use it without thinking twice.  Have you ever watched a commercial or read an advertisement and actually felt an anxiety of sorts pushing you to buy the product? 

Fear is a very powerful motivator and has been used time-and-time again by governments to gain control of the masses.  Just look at what is happening in Iran and what the Chinese tried in Tiananmen Square.

The general public doesn’t pay attention and is searching for stimulation.  The media is intent on capturing our attention.  In order to do this they must peak an arousal and that raises a level of stimulation.  After a while this stimulation needs to be increased over time because humans adapt to the stimulation and therefore need a greater amount to have the same effect. 

When we pursue the “stuff” being sold to us, what are we really pursuing? We think this “stuff” is necessary to be happy.  Eldon Taylor, author of Mind Programming, says, “If I can sell you fear I can sell you a solution” and “We get people to march in cadence for two reasons, their appetite and their fear.”

Why does the mind act collectively and causing us to follow the crowd like sheep?  We trust our senses but they mislead us as much as tell the truth.  We also trust authority figures so when someone in authority tells us something we tend to believe it without question.  In fact research shows that the part of your brain responsible for making decisions shuts off when an authority figure walks in the room.  We stop thinking and become submissive to the authority figure due to our need to comply to keep consistency.

Now let’s look at harnessing the power of your own mind and taking that power away from the power mongerers.

The first step to controlling your mind is to really know who you are, your weaknesses and your strengths.  A lot of people refuse to look at the darkness inside themselves because they fear the pain so they resist it and they end up playing the blame, shame, victim game.  Others see their darkness but don’t know what to do about it so they put up with it living in self loathing and quiet desperation.

Some occultists call this Shadow Magic or Shadow Work because you are working with the subconscious or the shadow part of you where the dark things about you reside.  Bringing this part of you to the light and embracing it allows you to reunite with your shadow self making you more whole and therefore more powerful.

It’s really only necessary to surface your pain long enough to find out where it is coming from and then process it.  Once you process the uncomfortable feelings caused by beliefs created by trauma, the memory will remain but the emotions will be sufficiently processed and cleared out.  This gives you the freedom to stay conscious to your behavior without the overwhelming feelings provoked by the memory of what happened.

When I start a new client I first have them identify several areas of pain from a table I give them.  The purpose is to surface various areas a person has had emotionally painful experience with.  The number of areas checked off tells me how well the client takes ownership of his or her painful experiences.  If the client only checks a few off this tells me the client is not very conscious and may not be ready to do this work

Once the client identifies their top 3 most painful experiences this helps me know exactly where the client needs to heal.  I don’t have to waste several sessions to find this information out; I can get it in just a few minutes.

After I have worked with the client to help her understand her own ego and recognize her own programming, then we take the top 3 most painful experiences and we go deeper to uncover the beliefs behind those experiences.  We keep working until we get to the beliefs behind the beliefs all the way to the root and then deal with those beliefs.  No sense in dealing with symptoms when you can uproot the beliefs causing the unhappy emotions and situations.

Once you know your programming you can then stay conscious and immediately recognize when your programming is being triggered by someone or some thing outside yourself.

If you would like to receive a copy of the table of painful areas, send me an email and I will send it to you.

Late one night in a small Alabama cemetery, Vance Vanders had a run-in with the local witch doctor, who wafted a bottle of unpleasant-smelling liquid in front of his face, and told him he was about to die and that no one could save him.

Back home, Vanders took to his bed and began to deteriorate. Some weeks later, emaciated and near death, he was admitted to the local hospital, where doctors were unable to find a cause for his symptoms or slow his decline. Only then did his wife tell one of the doctors, Drayton Doherty, of the hex.

Doherty thought long and hard. The next morning, he called Vanders’s family to his bedside. He told them that the previous night he had lured the witch doctor back to the cemetery, where he had choked him against a tree until he explained how the curse worked. The medicine man had, he said, rubbed lizard eggs into Vanders’s stomach, which had hatched inside his body. One reptile remained, which was eating Vanders from the inside out.

Doherty then summoned a nurse who had, by prior arrangement, filled a large syringe with a powerful emetic (a medicine that induces nausea and vomiting). With great ceremony, he inspected the instrument and injected its contents into Vanders’ arm. A few minutes later, Vanders began to gag and vomit uncontrollably. In the midst of it all, unnoticed by everyone in the room, Doherty produced his pièce de résistance - a green lizard he had stashed in his black bag. “Look what has come out of you Vance,” he cried. “The voodoo curse is lifted.”

Vanders did a double take, lurched backwards to the head of the bed, then drifted into a deep sleep. When he woke next day he was alert and ravenous. He quickly regained his strength and was discharged a week later.

The facts of this case from 80 years ago were corroborated by four medical professionals. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about it is that Vanders survived. There are numerous documented instances from many parts of the globe of people dying after being cursed.

With no medical records and no autopsy results, there’s no way to be sure exactly how these people met their end. The common thread in these cases, however, is that a respected figure puts a curse on someone, perhaps by chanting or pointing a bone at them. Soon afterwards, the victim dies, apparently of natural causes.

The above story is a true one and it clearly shows how magic really works. You can read more about the above story at The Science of Voodoo

Your beliefs create your reality regardless of whether your beliefs are true, false, create pain, or are not even relevant to who you are today. Beliefs are a powerful part of your ability to interact in your world. When a person works magic that person is using their beliefs to generate the energy necessary to create what they want in their life.

The above information begs the question about whether a person can be affected by a magician sending out energy, either positive or negative, if the recipient doesn’t know the magician is sending any energy at all.

It all comes back to the belief of the sender and the recipient. See, we are all connected and I can connect with other people energetically but the energy I send out to another person is only as strong as my belief in my ability to connect energetically. Likewise, the recipient will only be affected to the level that he or she’s belief allows it.

A question I get a lot from my students is about protecting oneself from dark magicians. They want to know how strong one has to be to effectively protect oneself from a powerful dark magician. The answer lies in whose will is strongest and your will is only as strong as your beliefs fueling your will.

There are many techniques that work to help you change your subconscious beliefs but they work best when you know the root belief. Before I became a certified spiritual life coach, I thought the beliefs I needed to change to allow more money to flow into my life were beliefs like, “I can’t afford anything I want,” “I can’t ever have more money than I need,” and so on.

What I later found out was that my root beliefs surrounding money were really about how valuable I believed I was and my beliefs about needing to be powerless. Money makes me feel valuable and powerful so my ego would work hard to make sure I didn’t have any more money than what I needed so I would remain powerless and un-valuable.

There are many techniques that teach you how to use the Law of Attraction and how to manifest what you really want along with other techniques like Emotional Freedom Technique and The Sedona Method among others that teach you to change your beliefs. Unfortunately very few of these techniques actually teach you how to get to your root beliefs.

A person who is disciplined can make changes to their beliefs but your ego has kept you asleep for such a long time that it’s near impossible to find the root beliefs without assistance. However, it can be done, it just takes a great deal longer and a lot more effort.

I’m currently working on a book that will help individuals surface and deal with their subconscious beliefs. The book will accompany a teleseminar I’m developing and will soon be available. I hope to make this teleseminar as reasonably priced as possible so more people will have access to this information. I’ll share more on this later.

I’ve been tip-toeing around high magic for some time now and I’ve finally decided to actually start practicing some things just to experience them for myself. I have shied away from the qabbala because of it’s connection with Yaweh. But I’ve decided to look past my preconcieved ideas about Yaweh and the Bible in the effort to understand the lesson these rituals can teach me.

So this article is about what I’ve learned about the Qabbalistic Cross. As always your comments are welcome at www.aurora-dawn.com/blog

——————————————————————————–

Many of the Eastern philosophy and rituals have the practitioner move energy from where they are upward to the heavens. This runs along the lines of wakening the kundalini and moving up to the crown chakra. This is how the East moves towards enlightenment.
In the Western rituals of the magician we find the opposite at work. The magician draws the energy from the heavens down to where he is on the earth. They both accomplish the same end which is raising consciousness through uniting Spirit with the Material.

The Kabbala is an ancient spiritual path that comes from a mystical branch of Judaism and has been adapted to the Western world of magic. Much of what is practiced in modern magic is found in the Golden Dawn and many other groups but this is not the original Kabbala and is therefore called the Qabala or Qabbala. The original Kabbala is very difficult to find and one would need to be a Hebrew scholar to read and understand these writings. This is not a big deal because a ritual that resonates with you is just as powerful as an ancient ritual. Using a ritual is what strengthens the energy you are sending out through your intention and it matters little where the ritual came from.

We have seen the symbol of the cross to mean sacrifice as with Jesus dying on the cross. For this reason the symbol in Christianity has become a central focal point with a meaning of salvation from sin. As I have written previously, the ancient Egyptians defined sin as merely not doing the cleansing work necessary to be in the presence of the gods. The way one knew a person was not doing the “work” or was living in sin was visible signs of aging.
The Qabalistic Cross is a Hermetic ritual that many magicians use as the foundation ritual for other rituals. It is used to align the magician with the divine by bringing energy down from the heavens into the body. This ritual can be used to bring the magician into that place that is not a place at a time that is not a time to prepare the magician for the rituals to follow.

The symbol of the cross is in many traditions symbolizing life, immortality, union of heaven and hearth and the union of spirit and matter. The cross also symbolizes the center of all things. The arms represent the four directions and honoring the four directions is found in many cultures around the world. At the intersection we find this center representing the point where human and divine cross at the heart or center.

To better understand the Qabala one would need to practice its rituals to experience how they effect you. While the cross signifies spiritual transformation by coming in contact with the divine energy found inside one’s self, the Qabalistic Cross is a ritual that can take you there.

The Qabalistic Cross

In the Goden Dawn one is taught to use a steel dagger but you can use your index finger and middle finger extended with the rest of your fingers in a fist.

Rite
1. Stand West of the Altar facing East. Imagine yourself expanding, getting larger and larger. Visualize yourself standing with the Earth beneath your feet (about the size of a soccer ball). Imagine yourself continuing to grow and expand, until you are so large that entire galaxies spin around you. Visualize a ball of white Light, burning like a star, directly above your head. Raise either your Elemental or Planetary Banishing Dagger in your right hand above your head, pointing straight up, and pierce the star with the Dagger. Visualize a shaft of white Light rising vertically from the star above your head to infinity. Vibrate: Ah-TAH

2. Lower the Dagger to the groin area, with the tip still pointing straight up (Israel Regardie taught that one should never point a Magical Dagger downward toward the Earth so instead point the handle of the dagger at the Earth. Others feel the blade points toward where you are directing energy, so if you are directing energy to the Earth, then the tip of the dagger must point that way. In the end, choose the position that works best for you). Vibrate: Mahl-KOOT Visualize a vertical shaft of white Light, descending from the star above your head, to another star beneath your feet, and onward, through the center of the Earth, to infinity.

3. Touch your right shoulder with the point of the Dagger (you should feel the sharp tip), and vibrate: Vih-G’boo-RAAH. Visualize another star shining where the Dagger is touching your shoulder, and a shaft of white Light, extending horizontally to your right, and on to infinity.

4. Touch your left shoulder with the point of the Dagger, and vibrate Vih-G’doo-LAH Visualize another star, at the place where the Dagger is touching your shoulder, and a shaft of Light extending horizontally to your left, to infinity.

5. Bring the Dagger, pointing upward, and between your hands to your heart and vibrate: Lih-Oh-LAHM, Ah-MEN.

The Hebrew words used in this ritual loosely translate to:

Ah-TAH - THOU ART

Mahl-KOOT - THE KINGDOM

Vih-G’boo-RAAH - AND THE POWER

Vih-G’doo-LAH - AND THE GLORY

Lih-Oh-LAHM - FOREVER

If this ritual does not resonate with you, modify it or create your own. It’s important to a have a ritual that centers you and connects you with your divine Self.
