“Feathered Serpents Worldwide”

 

Lecturer Hugh Newman referring to Pyramid Lake petroglyphs

 

Why were serpents carved in ancient temples all over the world since 12,000 years ago? Who were these master megalithic masons? Why were they called “feathered serpents”? Hugh Newman investigates the ancient teachers of mankind in this new 2019 lecture he made for MegalithomaniaUK.

Between 47-49 minutes into the video, the lecturer talks about and compares the glyphs at Lake Winemucca (which were created some 12,000 years ago and located 69 miles from Reno, Nevada) with glyphs found in Ireland.

Rev. Gary Buchanan points out that in Freddy Silva’s book The Missing Lands, the author explains in great detail the links between the ancient builders who built sites at Tiwanaku, Bolivia; New Zealand; Easter Island in Oceania; and the Arabian Penninsula around 10,800 BCE. “These were the red-headed or blonde, blue-eyed and green-eyed giants! Actually, genetically, many of these people are still alive — especially in Oceania, where some people are still twelve feet tall.”

“Yes, the Si-Te-Ca of the Winnemucca area were some of these people. And yes, they would have glyphs similar to those of other megalithic areas, like Newgrange, which we have spoken about following our visit there in 1992. These are also the same glyphs we find in Gran Vilaya, for example, linking the Chachapoyas with these lost ‘wisdom teachers’ (long ears) and Tiwanaku/Viracocha,” Rev. Buchanan added.

“In the video, the nested diamonds J.J. Ainsworth shows on the Winnemucca stones and those at Newgrange are the same we find all over Chachapoyas territory.”

“Life Force In Everything, Powering Everything”

 

 

The basic creative energy of life—life force—bubbles up and courses through all of existence. It can be experienced as open, free, unburdened, full of possibility, energizing. Or this very same energy can be experienced as petty, narrow, stuck, caught. Even though there are so many teachings, so many meditation, so many instructions, the basic point of it all is just to learn to be extremely honest and also wholehearted about what exists in your mind—thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, the whole thing that adds up to what we call ‘me’ or ‘I.’ … No one else can really sort out for you what to accept—what opens up your world—and what to reject—what seems to keep you going round and round in some kind of repetitive misery. …

“The message is that each of us has all that it takes to become fully enlightened. We have basic energy coursing through us. … Because we are decent, basically good people,we ourselves can sort out what to accept and what to reject.” ~Pema Chödrön

Life Force, Life Energy

Chödrön says that life force, or life energy, flows “through all of existence”. That is a powerful statement that each of us should stop and consider for a moment. If life energy flows through everything, then that that mean that on some level, everything is alive? I think it does.

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

 

August 21, 2019

We continue this week with our review of The Secret Sayings of Jamil. Please bear in mind that these cryptic lines are very meaningful to those who have been in The Community for some time and may be more of a riddle for those newer to The System. However, they do become clearer as time goes on and one’s spiritual development and understanding unfolds.

The Fourth Saying

“‘To all those worthy ones who come to the School seeking instruction in the ways of Light, teach them the proper means of realizing their divine origins. They must first fill their beings with the Light of God’s New Sun, dispelling the darkness which holds all men of the world. And they will be filled with God’s spirit of truth and illuminated with the Image and the Word. By these means they will be born again and learn to speak a language that gives an understanding of the supernatural knowledge of the heavens. Once recreated in Light, they will be freed from the drugs of the senses addicted to the material world. Thus they will be freed from death and partake of their immortality. When this is done they will call the Light their true abode and serve the true God which is spirit and truth. And they shall be instructed in the rites and formulas of God’s agents working on the earth. And from the priests and the agents of darkness they shall take away the power to hold sway over the minds and souls of men by the employment of these rites and formulas.

‘And God’s agents of Light upon the earth will enlighten man, exposing the false gods for what they are: namely, lower entities who have falsely taken the name of the true God. When mankind ceases to worship and adore them they will lose their power over man. And when man extricates himself from this multitude of false gods he will be free to participate in his own immortality and commune with God. Never in all the history of the world has man ever allowed a religion of Light to dominate his societies and institutions. And the dark entities and their agents shall not willingly let go of their followers. And they would work a great harm against men of Light.

‘But the magic and the power of the Image and the Word used in conjunction with the energy of the sun by God’s agents shall nullify any power used against them. And lest any of God’s ministers abuse this mighty power of mystical formulas they shall learn in the school of Light, insist that each emulate the life I exemplified. Teach them the Way of it firstly, for such power has tempted even the gods who even now use this knowledge to dominate mankind. It was for this reason they caused the ancient tablets and scrolls to be destroyed to keep man in ignorance of his rightful powers.’

“And to these words a Companion responded by saying: ‘You have not mentioned these magical formulas before. What do they constitute? Are they the secret names of the angels which are mentioned in some of the scrolls, believed to have been left by the Essenes, found in the vicinity of the Dead Sea? Are the formulas alchemical? Hermetic arts of conjuring spirits and the like were highly secret. I believe when Alexander the Great exhumed the tomb of Hermes Trismegistus a great emerald tablet, called Tabula Smaragdina Hermitus, was found on which were symbolic writings, the meaning of which has not survived. Are the formulas mentioned by Jamil hermetic? Did not the Zoroastrians believe that in the final age of the world Zoroaster’s mystical writings of the secrets of nature would be recovered from a cave on the peaks of the Thian-Shan range? And, of course, we have the Christian writings that speak of the Seven Great Seals that will be opened in the last days of the world. Apollonious of Tyana refers to a mysterious kind of Divination of the Stars and a system of miracles and of healing. The instituted rites of the Magi at Babylon, and the natural and divine astrology of the Egyptians, the Orphic Mysteries and the Gnostic symbology are all lost to us, but with their repossession man would have great power. Do the Sayings of Jamil refer to these and other Arcana? Can you tell us more on the nature of the magical rites we are to employ?’

“And to this The Man replied that he was not at liberty to tell them. They must first learn how to exemplify the life that Jamil lived, which could very well take the better part of a lifetime, even with total dedication. And when they inquired how they might learn to do so, he told them that the Fifth Saying spoke of this. And the Companions urged him to continue with the reading.”

Needless to say, we will continue with the Fifth Saying next week.

August 18, 2019: Chapel Readings

 

Each week of the liturgical year, a reading from Second Advent Scripture is delivered as part of the Saturday Communion of Fellowship Service held in the Chapel of the Holy Child. This reading follows the Sacred Calendar of the Church; that is, Prophecies and Revelations that have been received by The Church on sacred dates are recalled in a liturgical context during the appropriate season each year. This reading is delivered just before the final blessings. Each service also includes a reading from the ancient scriptures, prayers, or wisdom sayings of various world religions past and present and is usually thematically related to the Second Advent Reading. This reading is delivered by the Reader right after the announcements that begin the service and is thus the first reading of the service. An audio recording of the reading from Second Advent Scripture delivered on the date above is provided here below together with a transcript of the first reading of the service that day.

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Writings of Isaiah:

Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.

For behold, the darkness will cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord will are upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you.

And the nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

Lift up your eyes round above and see all they gather themselves together, they come to you, your sons will come from far and your daughters will be nursed at your side.

Then you will see, and flow together, and your heart will fear, and be enlarge, because the abundance of the sea will be converted to you, the forces of the nation will come to you.

Violence will no more be heard in your land, wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you will call your walls Salvation , and the gates Praise.

The sun will be no more your light by day; neither for brightness will the moon give light to you: but the LORD will be to you an everlasting light, and your God you glory.

“Wal Thornhill: Gravitational Accretion Bites the Dust | Space News”

 

 

New scientific research into the planet-forming conditions in so-called young star systems has delivered a shocking blow to gravitational accretion theory. In a paper published in the journal Astronomy Astrophysics, scientists described their attempts to determine how much material is present in the disks around stars that are thought to be only 1 to 3 million years old. When they compared their estimates to the masses of star systems that have fully formed planets, they realized that the so-called young stars systems did not have enough matter in their disks to eventually form planets.

 

“Protoplanetary disk material found to be too sparse to form planet populations”

Read the source story online at phys.org.

 

Wal Thornhill of the Thunderbolts Project discusses why this discovery fits perfectly with the Electric Universe theory of both planet and star formation.

“Eternal Reality and the Web of Illusion”

 

 

“There are in this struggle1 three factors. (1) the unchanging light of Eternal Reality: that Pure Being ‘which ever shines and naught shall ever dim.’

“(2)The web of illusion, here thick, there thin; which hems in, confuses, and allures the sentient self. “(3) That self, always changing, moving, struggling—always, in fact, becoming—alive in every fiber, related at once to the unreal and to the real; and, with the growth in true being, ever more conscious of the contrast between them.

“In the ever-shifting relationship between these three factors, the consequent energy engendered, the work done, we may find a cause of the innumerable forms of stress and travail which are called in their objective form the Purgative Way. Only one of he three is constant: the Absolute to which the soul aspires. Though all else may fluctuate, that goal is changeless. That beauty so old and so new, ‘with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning,’ which is the One of Plotinus, the All of Eckhart and St. John of the Cross, The Eternal Wisdom of Suso, … awaits yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever the opening of its creature’s eyes.” ~Evelyn Underhill

Eternal Reality

There is little doubt what the eternal reality is. The realm of spirit and the beings that dwell there are eternal. Everything material is temporary. That is one reason why the ancient spiritual leaders called matter illusion.

And when Underhill, and many others, talk of the bright light of that eternal reality, it is both literal and symbolic. Light symbolizes truth and wisdom. The spiritual realm is home to both of those. But it is also a place of bright light. The true image of God is light. The true image of the soul is light. Bright light, spiritual light, not physical light.

WEEKLY MESSAGE: August 14, 2019

 

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

 

 

 

 

August 14, 2019
Date of the Second Omen, 1955

In continuing our review of The Secret Sayings of Jamil prior to our discourses at this year’s annual Convocation, these are the words of the Third Saying. (Once again, please remember that “man” and men” refer to women, as well.)

The Third Saying

The school of enlightenment which shall be brought into existence will be charged with the responsibility of preserving the Teachings of Light for all times. And it shall be obligated to teach all persons who come to the school should they be found worthy. But no person not found worthy should ever be allowed to possess a knowledge of these sacred teachings. We have seen how in ancient times the academies and temples astounded the world with teachings of things of this world and other worlds. Even kings and the masters of the world came humbly to their gates for instruction. Today this knowledge has been lost because men of corruption abused portions of it. This corrupted use of knowledge gave birth to worldly sciences whose adherents have caused man to turn away from sacred things. And like the sciences, modern religion has been corrupted and made worldly. And for this reason religion has ceased to inspire men and caused them to turn away from religion. And dark forces of evil, which is to say those powers not of Light or of God, threaten to pervert men’s minds and take over the world. And with the taking they shall destroy civilization and lead it back into an age of darkness that no man can imagine. For it is the nature of man to worship forces beyond the material world. And if man worships not the things of God and of Light, then he shall worship things of the Devil and of Darkness. And if man opens the gates to the Powers of Darkness he unleashes a force which no man knows. Therefore, let the students of the new school serve as agents of the Light, as guardians and protectors of mankind.

“And when The Man put down the codex one asked: ‘Were the teachings of Socrates and Plato, as given in the Greek Academy, exemplary of this knowledge spoken of in the Sayings?’ And The Man said: ‘Socrates and Plato drew upon the ancient teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, Orpheus, Pythagoras, and the Egyptian and Persian schools of the time. Plato and Socrates were not the original source, nor did they adhere to the ethics and codes of the ancient mystery schools. They believed in a more simplified system of instruction which prompted Aristotle to break away altogether from tradition. His attitude resulted in teachings that led the way for secular scientists who rejected the Word of God, elevating human reason, thought and logic above divine intuition. Here we had the beginning of scientific thought of a perverted and secular line that believed man had the right to use divine knowledge for practical and worldly ends.’

“And another of the Companions asked: ‘We moderns are not so enthralled with religion in the orthodox sense. I cannot imagine the rulers of the world today beating a path to the door of any priesthood. Why did they do so in ancient times?’ And to this The Man replied that religious institutions of learning have ceased to be disseminators of Light. They have become worldly, dealing with human reason. Divine intuition and spiritual consciousness have no place in a modern university. Theology is taught in a logical manner that appeals to the rational mind or to faith or to the emotions. But in ancient times the priesthood were diviners who had a knowledge of the past and the future. Kings and rulers wanting to know what their destiny was sought answers from the priests or priestesses knowledgeable in such things. Knowledge of divination has failed to come down to the modern Church. Today, no king or ruler of the world requires the services of a theologian to advise him on matters of politics or economics.

“And the skeptical Companion inquired further: ‘Do you mean to say, Sir, that the Devil really exists? Are we to believe that the Powers of Darkness actually exist? Do you mean that goblins and entities can obsess the minds of men in this day of science and technology? I thought we left all that behind ages ago.’ To this The Man replied: ‘If you believe in God and in the Powers of Light, then you must-needs accept that the Powers of Darkness exist. All things have their opposite in this world and the next. Man is regulated and controlled by forces and intelligences outside his own mind and organism to a far greater degree than he knows. I can predict that if man continues to turn away from God, rejecting religion of any kind, the powers of Darkness will come to the forefront to dominate the life of man until he and his world are destroyed. The one single power holding back these forces are the religions of the world, orthodox and unorthodox, old and new. I beg you not to doubt my words.’

“And to this the skeptic said: ‘I find it difficult to believe that the modern world will ever again believe in superstition, fable and mythological powers that belong to an age that died out with the coming of scientific thought.’

“And The Man replied: ‘All gathered on this hill shall live to see the day when men will again return to worship evil forces of Darkness, rejecting all forms of religious expression, because from Darkness they will obtain power over human minds for sensual and material gain. The establishment of the new school of Light comes at a most opportune time in the evolution of the world.’

“And as all the Companions pondered his words, and no one asked another question.”

Very truly yours in Light+,
