I’ve heard a lot of people ask the famous question, “If God is such a good God then why doesn’t he…” or “If God is such a good God then why does he allow…?” Now that I am wiser and older I feel I better understand who God is and his role in our lives.

To start out we need to explore who or what God is. I feel pretty strong that God is a consciousness, the essence of all things. God is the stuff that makes everything real in our world.

We learn from quantum physics that our thoughts create our reality. Essentially, we create ourselves and all of our experiences. If this is true then we are God. This of course does not agree with many religions out there who believe God is a being in the heavens somewhere who created us. There very well could be creator beings who had some hand in creating us but who created them?

God, in its highest form, can be described the same way the quantum field is described. The “field” was not created and it has no end, it is all powerful, it is everywhere… These can all be used to describe God.

Whether God is a separate being or not we still have to come to grips with the fact that we do create our reality through our thoughts. Karl Pribram, as a result of his research, developed the theory that maybe our universe is a hologram or construct of light and is only real when it is perceived to be real. This theory further confirms the quantum physics understanding of our thoughts creating our reality.

Having said all this I would have to conclude that God is us, or better yet, the consciousness that is all things and therefore we need to take responsibility for our own actions and as Gandhi once said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Now if creator beings did have something to do with creating us then maybe we could call on them to help us, much like some people call on angels. I have heard many stories of how a person will show up and help someone in a desperate situation only to disappear into thin air afterwards.

Even if there are creator gods, it still would not absolve us of our responsibility for the messes we have made on this planet. We created the mess and we have the power to clean it up. We have to recognize our oneness with each other and help each other.

As one person heals, that person raises the vibration of the planet making it a little easier for others to heal. If we help each other heal, imagine how quickly we could raise the vibration of the planet. Imagine what raising the vibration to that of peace and love could do to help stop the wars and despair in our world. We have the power to do this but we need stop waiting for a God or some kind of savior to do it for us and do it for ourselves.

Just to be clear, the magic I am discussing here is not the slight of hand type of magic but the magic taught in witchcraft and other occult paths.  The spelling of magick with a “k” was first used by Aleister Crowley as an attempt to be clear as to what kind of magic he was talking about.

The general understanding of the magician is to use magic to create change according to the will of the magician.  Crowley explains in his book, Book Four, “It is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature.”  Crowley is explaining that magick cannot be used to work against the laws of nature so if it can’t happen naturally then magick cannot make it happen.

There are many who believe magicians, sorcerers, wizards and witches are only involved in conjuring and controlling spirits to their bidding and create change.  Here’s a definition of necromancy from http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=necromancy,

“necromancy (the belief in magical spells that harness occult forces or evil spirits to produce unnatural effects in the world).”  Many believe this is what magicians, sorcerers, wizards and witches practice in order to control their world and to control and manipulate others.  They believe the magician coerces spirits to work for him involuntarily.

If you study the history of the Middle Ages you’ll find a lot of stories about necromancy and all the horrible, evil things these “devil worshippers” practiced.  But if you look at the origin of the stories you’ll find many came from inquisitors, monks and Christian zealots seeking to create fear in an effort to coerce people to turn individuals in who may be practicing some sort of black magic, which really is any spiritual practice not in line with Christian doctrine.

Thousands of innocent people were tortured and murdered because of irrational and unfounded fear.  It’s unfortunate that so much of the truth was twisted and so many suffered as a result and all for the political agenda of a religious few.

I have to add a side note that I do believe there are those who practice black magic but this is not the magician’s path.  In Western Occultism this kind of person is called a sorcerer.  However, according to Don Juan of Castaneda’s work a sorcerer is a shaman so we have to be careful not to get lost in definitions.  When the European sorcerer works with these dark spirits, the will of the sorcerer eventually will be forfeited to these spirits.  Following this path tends to accelerate the aging of the practitioner as his life force energy is slowly siphoned off. 

There are many, many good spirits and entities that are more than willing to become an ally for the magician that it really isn’t necessary to call upon demons or evil spirits to do your bidding.  The ego so wants to dominate that it is tempting to use these evil spirits but why when there are those of a higher vibration that are waiting for us to work with them and they are safe and loving beings.

The magician’s path is one that seeks spiritual enlightenment in a way that is empowering to his self.  All religions seek to disempower their followers by telling them they must not seek out their psychic gifts because either those gifts are evil or they only feed the ego.  The magician learns the dangers of developing his psychic abilities and learns to do shadow work to keep his ego from getting him to use those powers to control others.  Once the magician does his work with his shadow he knows his ego and therefore is the master of his ego.

The magician also knows that to empower himself he must internalize and emotionalize his life’s lessons.  The way this is done is by embracing the pain and trauma surrounding the beliefs behind the lessons he is learning.  This is what I am calling shadow work because these beliefs are hidden in the subconscious or shadow part of the mind.  Bringing these beliefs to the surface, or the light, and embracing the truth about them, the magician heals his soul.

In the book Paenitere by William Blystone, William defines the initiation in to the occult as, “the calculated, conscious effort undertaken by the Neophyte to realize the spiritual powers latent within him.  These attainments steadily lead to the conscious realization of his immortal spirit, which is that gift the true Creator (God) gave him to nurture and develop when he was formed in the depths of eternity.”  William is saying that to realize one’s immortal spirit is to attain a level of illumination or enlightenment.

There is a fundamental occult truth that magic is an extension of will.  Aleister Crowley once said, “Magick is the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will.”  This concept is diametrically opposed to the Christian teaching that the individual will must be brought into submission under Christ. 

But what does Christ mean?  Christ is a level of consciousness and when a person “submits” his will to Christ consciousness the ego is brought under submission because the individual has raised his consciousness to the level of Christ.

Another way of describing the path of learning and practicing magic is by looking at martial arts.  Martial arts can be learned by an individual and used to hurt other people or it can be learned and used to help others.  Martial arts is a mental and physical discipline in much the same way magic is a mental and physical discipline. 

In the book Self-Initiation of the Golden Dawn Tradition, Sandra Tabatha Cicero explains that all rituals from the initiate to portal grade must be carried out only under the authority of the student’s Higher Self and not under the ego of the student.  In many occult paths the student is taught how to develop a relationship with the Higher Self for the purpose of getting one’s own direction from one’s own Higher Self rather than from outside sources.

There really is a lot of confusion over what the occult actually is and what it involves due to the sensationalizing effects of Hollywood and the media.  The popular opinion is that the occult is connected with Satanism, black magic and dark ritual practices.  Occult studies refer to studying secret knowledge and for those who have inside knowledge of the occult understand its deeper spiritual connotations that go beyond the material world.

Bottom line is that most occult paths will lead the student to Self-realization and the actualizing of your potential in all your dimensions.  It is understood that your own Spirit must ultimately be your Guide and Master.  A true Magi or Master can show you the path but you must learn to follow it

Hinduism is known to be the oldest surviving Asian religion and can be traced back to four ancient works of sacred teachings called the Veda. The Rig-Veda was the first to be written with the largest collection of hymns, at 1,028 in total. These hymns were recited by the priests to invite the gods to participate in sacrificial ceremonies. Written sometime between the twelfth and eight centuries BC, and passed along by word of mouth through scholars who studied and interpreted sacred texts were so meticulous that they were successful at preserving the sound of the ancient Sanskrit hymns with near perfect accuracy. Even though the meanings of some of the words were lost, it was not considered important. The sounds not the meanings were believed to carry supernatural power.

The Rig-Veda describes sacrificial rituals including the slaying of animals to please the gods. Another part of these rituals was consuming the juice of a climbing vine, called soma (Asclepias acida). The juice was mixed with milk, filtered through sheep skin and imbibed. Soma is considered a powerful hallucinogen and it seems to give the drinker supernatural powers.

Two other Veda texts also gave a lot of attention to sacrificial rites but it was in the fourth Veda, Atharva-Veda, written around the second century BC that exposed the most interesting aspect of the Hindu religion. The teachings in the Atharva Veda were devoted to magical spells and charms designed to get rid of disease causing demons, renew the affections of a lover, win victory in battle and generate financial success. As you can guess, these incantations were a valuable political tool for the priests serving the rulers of their day.

The quest for magical powers led to asceticism in Indian thought and religion. Those who learned these magical abilities were commonly called munis (wonder workers) in the Rig-Veda. It was said they knew the secrets of the gods.

These ascetics learned these secrets through the discipline of fasting, celibacy and drinking poisons. Munis were said to accumulate these supernatural powers, called tapas, through holding uncomfortable positions for long periods of time. Their abilities included magical feats such as levitation, healing, telekinesis, translocation, and much more. Tapas were also obtained through extreme forms of self torture including sitting or lying on a bed or nails or holding a leg or arm motionless for months until it started to waste away.

Transmigration (reincarnation) came about through these ascetics and became the central doctrine of Hinduism and Buddhism. With transmigration the devout is able to escape from samsara, their undesirable condition, and achieve a state of enlightenment. A person becomes conscious of the essential identity (atman) of his or her individual soul through this mystical experience. Then he or she unites with the impersonal Supreme Being known as Brahman.

There are many paths leading to this enlightenment, but it is said that the path of the ascetic is the truest path, living a solitary life, eating very little, keeping body and mind under control through the extensive practice of meditation.

At the time of the final portion of the Veda, Upanishads, the practice of yoga consisted of sitting completely still and erect, with the eyes focused on the tip of the nose. The objective was to bring thought and senses under complete control until the mind became a single point.

Between 200 BC and 200 AD, yoga in the Bhagavad-Gita had become a name given to any practice designed to reunite the soul with God. Yoga had evolved away from its classical paths and spread across India. Yogis were gaining great respect even though traditional Hindu priests believed them to be no more than mere magicians (illusionists).

Yoga adepts were regarded as proficient masters over the force of gravity to levitate themselves right off the ground. They were also known to make certain events happen without any physical effort, solely through the force of will. Many other supernatural abilities were also attained through this practice.

At the core of the yoga techniques for obtaining supernatural abilities was strict control of the breath. It was said that through the control of the breath these accomplishments were made possible. Using special techniques the yogi would make his breathing as slow as possible, always extending the period between breaths. Some yogis would even reach the ability to hold their breath for hours.

Oprah had David Blain on her show April 30, 2008. If you were watching then you know David held his breath for 17 minutes. David is known as a stage magician but this was no magic trick.

You don’t have to be a spiritually evolved individual to learn these supernatural abilities but this is not the practice of yoga. Instead these exhibitions of supernatural ability are traps on the path to enlightenment. The Buddha himself warned of the dangers of “showing off” magical abilities. Showing off is from the ego and when the ego is under your mastery, you will not have any desire to “show off” your abilities.

Disciplining the body and the mind to attain these supernatural abilities does not get you closer to realizing your true spiritual Self. These abilities could even be used to harm others. The greatest reward one can gain from developing these special abilities is to learn them after properly learning to be the master of the ego.

While I was learning yoga I was discouraged from seeking psychic abilities because it would only make me a slave to my ego. Many yoga masters will not teach their disciples these supernatural abilities until the disciple has proven mastery over his or her ego. Once the ego was under control, it was considered safe to teach the disciple these powerful abilities.

I do want to note that each individual always be building and expanding his or her psychic abilities to communicate with the spirit world. The spirit world is actually more real than our 3 dimensional world and it holds all the answers to any question any of us could have ask. Being able to communicate with the spirit world will help you on your spiritual path to greater enlightenment and empowerment.

If you’re interested in building your supernatural powers using yoga then I suggest studying Kriya or Kundallini yoga. It is best to use the guidance of a teacher to properly prepare for this path. Also Sri Auribindo taught the importance of spiritual evolution which can be found in developing psychic abilities.

The Osiris Device

The Osiris device is a technology that was called the Ta-Wer (pronounced tower) or the Bond Between Heaven and Earth, and it functioned as a ladder or stairway to heaven.  Isis is depicted in some of the paintings as operating the Osiris device and a pharaoh is serving food to this device meaning it is peaceful.  There are no dead bodies or blood required for this god.

The Babylonian concept of sin, which came from Egypt, tells us the temples were not places of worship but places of work or workshops.  In order to serve food and work for the gods in the temples they had to be pure.  They had to do the “great work” to purify themselves which in turn made them gods.  This is what Alchemists called Magnum Opus or the Great Work where one transforms an impure soul into a pure soul.

The way the gods knew you weren’t doing the work is your hair turned gray and you aged.   Therefore, not doing the work was their definition of sin. 

In the picture below the Osiris device is shown on a boat or ark meaning Osiris is to traverse the heavens.  This ark looks very much like a wormhole if you look at the pictures below.  If this is true then what does the Osiris device, the ladder to heaven, have to do with a wormhole?  In the Osiris myth we find Osiris entering the tail of a serpent and then coming out the mouth.  What if the serpent is a wormhole through which Osiris is using to travel? 

In this picture notice the shape of the ends of the boat. 

Now look at this Stephen Hawking graphical depiction of a wormhole and notice the similarities.

William Henry believes the Osiris device is a particle accelerator used to open the wormhole. 

By looking at the paintings in the Osiris temple in Abydos we find what looks like Sety transforming into the Osiris device and then emerging on the other side of a wormhole where the fruit of the tree of life await him.

In the picture below you will see the Osiris device on top of the ship and Sety at the front of the ship.  Sety is transformed into an Osiris device and has emerged on the other side of the wormhole seen on the right side of the ship.  Sety would have entered the beginning of the wormhole on the left side and emerged on the other side seen on the right side of the picture.

When Sety emerges there is fruit waiting for him from the Tree of Life.

A wormhole is not like what was depicted in the Stargate movie where someone just willy nilly walks through the gate.  A person has to go through a lot of preparation to be able to use a wormhole.  There is a transfiguration or resurrection process that needs to take place.

Ishtar also used a similar device in Sumerian carvings.  You see a serpent passing into or out of the pillar Ishtar is operating.  This pillar was used to raise spiritual vibration in preparation for entering the gate of the gods. 

So how does one raise their vibration?  Raising the kundalini is one way.  I have also found toning or chanting “Om” is a good way to raise one’s vibration.  Another very powerful way, that I’ve personally experienced, is doing shadow work or soul retrieval.  Doing this kind of work clears out and heals the parts that keep a person’s vibration low.  Once you have cleared or healed your soul then you’ll notice other exercises found on the spiritual path of your choice will be much more effective in raising your vibration even higher.

It is important to note that the chakras are known as a ladder or stairway and the chakra system works like a conduit or connection between heaven and earth.    

“The body is a vehicle and it’s up to us to connect with the essence.  Life must be a preparation for transition to another dimension,” Terence McKenna.  We’re only now beginning to understand parallel universes, dimensions, and wormholes so it’s not hard to see how this all could really be true.

According to the Koran, Osiris is the Arabic pronunciation for Idris, a prophet who was known as the instructor.  The Osiris device provided instruction and Osiris when depicted as a humanoid in paintings is always green and holds a green rod or wand in his hand.  The rod is a living branch from the tree of life and channels life force energy or vivifying sap from the Milkyway.  In 2012 we’ll see a return of this substance. 

We are on the threshold of awakening.  We did not originate on this planet.  We are starwalkers, stargate travelers and we come from the stars. 

“Messianic consciousness is not something that comes in the future, it is our intrinsic nature.  It is our birthright, available to all of us here and now.  Although obscured over the millenia by clouds of ignorance, its light continues to shine in the divine sparks at the core of our being.”  (Rabbi David Cooper, God is a Verb)

In Egypt Osiris was overlaid on the earth - he was Egypt.  His companion Isis was the star Sirius and her light renewed Osiris every year.  The book The Lost Star of Myth and Time, by Walter Cruttenden, explains this in detail.  According to Cruttenden, Sirius is our binary star and Sirius has an electro-magnetic field.  We rotate around another electro-magnetic field found at the center of the galaxy.  At certain times we enter that field and we are bathed.  Other times we are too far away from the center and we need a device to tap in to this source of renewing energy.  This energy seems to activate our latent abilities found in our DNA.
