I would recommend book by dr. stephen t. chang "Tao of balanced diet" here is the link: <a href="http://thegreattao.com/html/taobooks.html" rel="nofollow">http://thegreattao.com/html/taobooks.html</a> I have that book. It provides the full Taoist theory of balanced diet, which means correlation between the five elements, and also which organs they effect, and at the end of the book there are plenty of easy recipes that anyone can make, which are completely balanced with 5 tastes, 5 elements, pH balance and....something else, I can't remember :) Very good book :) Aunt Clair on "Excerpt from Tibetan book about the Elements" http://initiationintohermetics.com/topic/excerpt-from-tibetan-book-about-the-elements#post-247 Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:39:47 +0000 Aunt Clair 247@http://initiationintohermetics.com/ From Above; "Healing with Forms, Energies and Light" (The Five Elements in Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra and Dzogchen) by Tenzil Rinpoche;"The white or colorless light is space,the green light is air,the red light is fire,the blue light is water,and the yellow light is earth. These are the five aspects of pure luminosity, the rainbow-like energies of the single sphere of existence. " It is interesting to contrast the various models of the tattwas or elements. Examples from other paradigms; IIH by Bardon;"Above the male, there are the active elements, that of the fire in red and the air element in blue color. Above the female there are the passive elements, the water element in green and the element of the earth in yellow color.The middle along the magician up to the globe is dark purple, representing the sign of the akasa principle Above the magician’s head, with an invisible ribbon for a crown, there is a gold-edged silvery white lotus flower as a sign of the divinity. In the inside there is the ruby red philosophers’stone symbolizing the quintessence of the whole hermetic science. On the right side in the background there is the sun, yellow like gold and on the left side we see the moon, silvery-white, expressing plus and minus in the macro- and microcosm, the electrical and magnetical fluids."

I was attempting to upload from the Photo link in my Profile. So I have sorted that but I could not go back and edit my post to remove that request for help. The 'edit' button is no longer visible so I could not edit my post. I have noticed that there are no posts in the elements board i.e Fire but there isn't a button to add a post either. Also I am unable to begin a topic on any board. I can reply to some boards but not to others. I am the siteowner admin at one forum and an admin at another using SMF Forums. I suspect that the software for the forums requires an upgrade to the latest version to debug it.

These are depicted at least since the Tarruchi origins and perhaps earlier on Tarot cards i.e. the Wheel, the World and the Star; <a href="http://www.wischik.com/lu/tarot/thumb_major.jpghttp://www.wischik.com/lu/tarot/thumb_major.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.wischik.com/lu/tarot/thumb_major.jpghttp://www.wischik.com/lu/tarot/thumb_major.jpg</a> Ezekiel's vision of the kerubim Ez1:1-28 <a href="http://www.heavenlyascents.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/ezekielvisionmerkabaux6.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.heavenlyascents.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/ezekielvisionmerkabaux6.jpg</a> and the golden kerubim in the Temple of Solomon predate New Testament associations of the Biblical Evangelists whom were assigned Hermetically by Irenaeus the sole selector of which codices would compose the NT. Irenaeus cited; "There actually are only four authentic gospels. And this is obviously true because there are four corners of the universe and there are four principal winds, and therefore there can be only four gospels that are authentic. These, besides, are written by Jesus' true followers." Contemporary scholars would disagree citing Q as the source for 3 synoptic gospels;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_source <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_source" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_source</a> Read more: <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/story/emergence.html#ixzz1i5sgOzps" rel="nofollow">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/religion/story/emergence.html#ixzz1i5sgOzps</a> The Motto of the sphinx espoused by Hermetic Magicians is attributed to Eliaphas Levi and modified by Aleister Crowley; The Motto of the Sphinx is Velle , Audere , Tacere , Scire . From Latin this has been wrongly translated imho, and widely accepted as Velle for Will , Audere for Courage , Tacere for Silence and Scire for Knowledge. Commonly ; To will , to dare , to keep silent and to know. And the Fifth Power was called Ire by Crowley and it is the power "to Go" which to my mind means to go to the monad, go to the source, and astral or mystic projection through the realms. As for myself , I do not subscribe to the Motto of the Sphinx translated "to keep silent" . Tacere does not mean for magicians to keep silent but it means “to hold onto meaning without words” .And that to me , means to understand our magick through clairvoyant visions , meditative trance , projections and dreamstate lessons which are more easily seen but are hard to hear .Why ? Because our energy body develops sight much earlier then it develops its hearing. The magician's subtle energy body morphs into variant forms of a sphinx in a predictable continuum of human energy body development. The number of heads and limbs and their attributes are telling. The colouring of the sphinx is also an indicator of the magician's stage of ascension alchemy. Notably, the sphinx will appear to the magician or the reader in altered states of consciousnesss such as dreamstate or meditative trance. Gold indicates conclusion of that particular level. Purple indicates the alpha omega neutral stage at the conclusion of one work and the beginning of another. Typically; purple, blue , green , yellow, red ,red/black, black, black/white, silver, gold, and then purple again. A sphinx will typically have at least 2 heads , 4 are a Hermetic Set some split double for as many as 8, 12 or even 16 heads. The limbs may be single pairs or 2 or 4 pairs, typically. If a hermetic set is manifesting the front might be green the rear red the right indigo and the left side orange until the entire sphinx becomes silver akashic or then golden sun. Here are some images of the limbs and phalanges during various stages and works;[url=http://s1178.photobucket.com/albums/x366/AuntClair/]http://s1178.photobucket.com/albums/x366/AuntClair/[/url] What did your sphinx look like? What beast heads, what colours, were there swan wings like an angel or bat wings like this rebus? <a href="http://herebedragons.weebly.com/uploads/6/3/2/7/6327404/913747.jpg?390" rel="nofollow">http://herebedragons.weebly.com/uploads/6/3/2/7/6327404/913747.jpg?390</a> View imagery at Adam McLean's alchemy web ie of various two headed Lagashian Eagles and rebus forms and other sphinxes. <a href="http://www.levity.com/alchemy/http://www.levity.com/alchemy/" rel="nofollow">http://www.levity.com/alchemy/http://www.levity.com/alchemy/</a> I would like to add that books could be written on the sphinx and its associations in magick. The body morphs predictably through stages of the sphinx becoming dragon, beast, demon and angel headed. The questions of peers are hugely important to the magician. Robert Bruce remarks that he learns something from each workshop he teaches . I agree. Buddha taught that we are all both a student and a teacher to all whom we meet on our path. A member of VS asked about the red eye appearing to him. Christ teaches about the red demons of Seth in Gnostic apocrypha saying he is the principle archangels in previous incarnations and he is the red Christ called Seth too. The red soul , the red eye and the red bull headed and bull horned energy body of the Guardian Demon within are not to be feared. This is an opportunity , like all morphing of the energy body ,for reflection , transmutation and pathworking in altered states of consciousness. Typically morphing of the energy body heralds Kundalini events or is subsequent to them. The Guardian Demon is an opportunity to learn righteous anger, appropriate passion for a cause, defense of the innocent and when to stand stubbornly in one's own truth despite the bullying and disparagement which might be discharged even from one's own peers. But it is mostly an opportunity to control the rage within, the naive prejudices, the irrational fears and the lusts, hatreds and thirst for revenge . These are the red internal demons of Seth. It is through loving service and forgiving each other that we transmute the demons . The Cosmic Christ is a teaching spirit whom appears to many mystics irregardless of their belief system or paradigm. He teaches that 7 demons and 7 angels are within each of the inner gates.In my exegesis, these are the 7 golden lampstands of the Bible or the Chakras of Vedantic texts. We heal our inner demons with our inner angels. We heal ourselves through love, forgiving and service . Robert Bruce calls this building up the good karma bank. These seemingly bewildering archetypical images that appear to the magician in dreamstate or meditation are actually lessons to demonstrate how far we have come and what step is next and how much more needs to be done. That is the purpose for the archetype. It is pertinent to note, when I see a horn upon the head of a sitter or view clairvoyantly their angelic wings that this is what would be seen by another clairvoyant should they look at that moment. It is not like the more personal transient visions we might have in the astral plane where what I see may not parallel what the peer beside me sees, in any fashion. As magicians, we need to distinguish as magicians what are temporally stable archetypical images and what are the dream like images of the subconscious mind unique to each magician. By teaching each other,we find the universal commonality of such imagery. A good example of universal morphing would be in the Uraeus Effect described aptly by Robert Bruce. At that stage the magician will feel this heavy fleshy serpent fall flacidly over the nose and mouth like the uncooked steak he described. It is telling when we find these descriptions in other texts, sites and in other eras and locales. Than we can suppose it is a true universal archetype which would manifest on any magician at that stage. The hermaphroditic rebus depicted in numerous images on Adam Mclean's Alchemy Web are a testament to another universal archetype. Despite tradition that angels are immortal spirits created separately prior to the human race, the human manifests angels or demons according to their vibration.The human becomes angelic in gradual stages of enlightenment over subsequent lifetimes. And I am excited to discover that; [b]The blue Guardian Angel projects from the indigo brow chakra and third blue eye winged like the eagle. The red Guardian Demon projects from the red chakra and red eye of Seth horned and hooved like the bull. The yellow Higher Self projects from the chest/solar plexus/heart the aura around the head and shoulders is like a lion's mane blazing in sunlight. The emerald green HS/GA projects from the supernal centres like the Angel of the Sphinx.[/b] The amber Lower Self projects from the lower back secondary amber chakra it unites with the red Guardian Demon to form the orange LS/GD If you would like to participate in this research with me, I offer free clairvoyant readings of the human energy body on Skype under the handle Aunt Clair.

The Motto of the Hermetic Sphinx originated with Eliaphas Levi and it was modified by Aleister Crowley who believed Levi was an early incarnation of himself; IThe Latin translation of the Motto of the Sphinx is; Noscere, Audere, Velle, Tacere. The term tacere has been mistranslated to mean silent in English. But imho, better translations are; 1. to shine light on the meaning without words. Words are not as legible in vision or projection. So, in visions spirit may illuminate them in fire or ice or skip the book and paint a picture with artistic beauty connotation and denotation. A picture paints a thousand words . Occult wisdom is learned by being viewed in mystic visions more than by being heard by the spirit teachers. This is because the spoken word may not be heard by the mystic .Clairaudience is generally harder to recieve than clairvoyance .So the spirit teacher, mahatma, angel or avatar may present archetypical imagery instead to convey the meaning . 2. ...thus " to hold onto meaning without words " It is the term tacere that might be misconstrued . tacit means ; * without using any words; implied by actions * expressed or carried on without words or speech * implied or indicated (as by an act or by silence) but not actually expressed * undeclared, unexpressed, unsaid, unspoken, unuttered, unvoiced, wordless. tace means the candle ....."And we all shine on like the moon , the stars and the sun ~ John Lennon Ire means “to go “ The Motto of the Sphinx is Velle , Audere , Tacere , Scire . From Latin this has been wrongly translated and widely accepted as Velle for Will , Audere for Courage , Tacere for Silence and Scire for Knowledge. Commonly ; To will , to dare , to keep silent and to know . And the Fifth Power was called Ire by Crowley and it is the power "to Go" which to my mind means to go to the monad, go to the source, and project to the realms . As for myself , I do not subscribe to the Motto of the Sphinx translated "to keep silent" . Tacere does not mean for magicians to keep silent but it means “to hold onto meaning without words” .And that to me , means to understand our magick through clairvoyant visions , meditative trance , projections and dreamstate lessons which are more easily seen but are hard to hear .Why ? Because our energy body develops it sight much earlier then it develops its hearing . And I believe in my heart that we should add To Share as we are all this together . We are all one .And the incorrect translation of the rule of the sphinx impairs us all .Tacere does not mean don't tell, it means to hold onto without words as to understand thru mystic visions . So if you know it , share it . The point of Tetrapolar balance is to attain the centre in equilibrium this is the 5th element or Akasha. elements...

To become more tetrapolar in nature, the magician draws in the Hermetic energy they are least like in attributes and works to remove some of those negative traits. To reduce a Hermetic element which exists in excess, the magician can draw in the reciprocal element . For example if too much water then the magician dries this up by imbibing more fire. If too much negative earth add more air. into self seeing where they are lacking because they are too negative in an element.

There isn't any button visible to me . No 'add new', 'start new topic''or reply' is visible. Do I require a quota of replies before I may post a new topic on this forum? And are there topics on this forum which are locked to me as a new member? Also I have attempted to upload an image for my profile but the avatar does not change. Can you or sks help me, please ? Thank you for your interest in the Hermetic Discussion Group on Skype. Voice software can be practical for Hermetic discussions and pathworking. TeamSpeak, and Skype are both free to download and use. Currently a group of us meet casually , at 11 pm UT/GMT London Time. We look to see who is online and available and call each other in conference. A microphone is necessary but a camera is not. We begin with Hermetic Discussion which is held in a graduate seminar approach. One waits until there is a pause and then throws out a question or topic usually pertaining to IIH but not constrained to it. All may reply according to their own experience and perspective. We come from around the world and from diverse groups and forums. Our discussions are free of charge. The second half of the session is a Hermetic Mystic Circle. Our pathworking includes but is not limited to; *practical exercises related to IIH by Bardon *energy constructs; pillars , blankets, shields *development of; feeling, seeing, hearing, calling and flying through Hermetic energies *visualisation exercises to develop clairvoyance *attaining meditative trance to meditate, project, remote view, et cetera *evocation of archangels, Mahatma *mystic projection of consciousness to remote view, bi locate , tour the cosmology of the realms, project to Shamballah for Initiatic Magick , lessons and attunements. *et cetera We work as peers of each other. This week a member lead us through a Guided Meditation for psychic or spiritual surgery and methods. Another manifested an ashram and took us there in projection and we toured the adjacent spheres. And we revised the 5th, 6th & 7th Initiations as described by Bailey , Stone , Cooper, Hurtak et al by taking members new to Initation through these in the superetheric of the Great Pyramids. All Hermeticists are welcome. We work on the premise that all humans can learn the Divine Art of Ascension Alchemy through Hermetics and that all can attain the magickal proofs irregardless of their abilities at birth in this incarnation. Someday, none of us will be available. Some days we check by later. Usually there are 3 to 13 of us whom meet.

Simple :) Explain how those Skype meetings work, it's pretty interesting. There have been many Skype groups before on which I have participated but none of those was of real great help, it is more inspirational to know there is people studying the same theories but a lot of people is merely doing it by curiosity, A lot of people is confusing fantasy with imagination and some live in their fantasy without seeing results, some make the terrible mistake of talking about what they study to people who have no clue about this ancient philosophy and the great miracles you can do with it. Too many people talks from the I am and I do this... One of the first steps is making the mistakes, and the following steps is to know what mistakes you've done while controlling the same mistakes. Then start with the Voice of the Silence, control your words...

I have not ready any information on hermetics yet but plan to soon. I have however been developing my energy body, mind etc. utilizing Robert Bruce's work. I have recently downloaded several pdf versions of Bardons books. Does anyone know if these are typically up to date? Initiation into Hermetics pdf version was only 170pgs yet the 2011 hardcover was over 500???? Aunt Clair on "I'm new here" http://initiationintohermetics.com/topic/im-new-here#post-232 Sat, 07 Jan 2012 06:36:44 +0000 Aunt Clair 232@http://initiationintohermetics.com/ Namaste, Hermetics is my life. I am a crone, now. I was born in VA USA and travelled 180 degrees to come to Perth Western Australia when I was called here by my peers whom I have been blest to be found by,again. We recall working together in countless lives in ancient Egypt, India, Middle East, China, Japan, Europe,Tibet, USA et cetera. We worked as students, priest/ess, druids, monks,theosophists, French nuns at San Maxim, and dutch alchemists.spiritualists, et cetera. Today I embrace this Hermetic path by participating in daily meditations and analysis of my dreamstate lessons, projections and dreams. I have a small forum called the River of Enlightenment; <a href="http://forums.riverofenlightenment.com/index.php?action=forum" rel="nofollow">http://forums.riverofenlightenment.com/index.php?action=forum</a> I was born clairvoyant and worked with teaching spirits and angels in childhood in soul rescues in the warfields of VietNam. I was hypnotised to put this path aside for a time when I began to have nightmares as a little girl. I was limited then in the recall of my dreams remembering prognosticative ones which were profound but often having no clue about events around me I could have avoided had I been switched on still. When I became pregnant with my own children hormones afforded greater recall of dreamstate lessons and projections and I became a lazy student of magick. It was not until I had a major Kundalini event that I became thirsty for answers and Hermetics began to consume my time. I was gifted with a copy of IIH in 2003 and completed the Ten Step Path with a group of 13 peers in a home circle meeting 3 to 4 times a week in my parlour. We worked for two to three years in this manner. We began to share what we learned online in chat and on forums. I lead three online groups through IIH with some success. Buddha taught that the aspirant is both a student and a teacher of all whom they meet on their path. From my able online peers, I have learned about clairvoyance development, spiritual healing, Reiki, exorcism,shamynism,Kaballah and Ascension Alchemy. From my blessed grandmother I learned that magick was a gift and not a curse and a sacred Divine Art. I began to conduct Hermetic research into the predictable continuum of human energy body development in the magician through free clairvoyant readings.; <a href="http://www.hermeticresearch.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hermeticresearch.org/</a> I am writing books I will publish for free online concerning Hermetic Pathworking. Currently I am a beginner with Kundalini Yoga and Qi Gong.

In Taoist Alchemy each of the three body parts is a cauldron; Head ~ magick mind , blue Third Eye of Horus Chest ~ magick heart, Belly ~ magick womb, Red Eye of Seth Mantak Chia teaches that each cauldron will develop a magickal brain and magickal heart and magickal womb. So there will be a brain in each cauldron or stone.

Bardon drew upon his knowledge of the traditional Tarot archetypes as he designed his own Tarot imagery of the first 4 cards each symbolising a level of initiation of the Magician; <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQyL2eA0U80" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQyL2eA0U80</a> This is a link to a video of Lumir , Bardon's son being interviewed by MartinJFaulks who was kind enough to post on several Hermetic Forums before his recent journey there asking Hermeticists if they had a question they would like to ask Lumir and he would relay that. Unfortunately, I am still waiting for my reply. But he has posted the interviews for free on YouTube this is one of them.

And after doing mirror phase at the beginning of these studies , i noticed that i'm slightly lacking in fiery element... but, after getting the hang of some exercises, i experienced sudden outbursts of fiery element's character traits in my everyday life..... So, i don't know if i'm imagining things, or it could be that way?

At first, it looked easy enough to subdue voice-thoughts, and it was harder with images, but i can't seem to kick out the feeling thoughts, as they sometimes so unnoticable, that i recognize them only when they've ruined my concentration...

The only thing that bugs me, is HOW i picked it up. I already know, that universe is much more complex than i tought it was, and therefore there are no such things as "accidentaly" or "coincidentally". The thing is i found the name of this work by investigating Grand Grimoire. I hope it's not gonna be a hurdle for my magical studies, because it represents the dark side of hermetical knowledge.... Anyhow, thank you for creating this forum, looking foward to sharing ideas, thoughts and results:) quesera on "origin of thought?" http://initiationintohermetics.com/topic/origin-of-thought#post-175 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:27:11 +0000 quesera 175@http://initiationintohermetics.com/ mm annatar i think your corret, its interesting how thoughts switch.. i think its because thought comes from the element of air and the element of air is a constant fight between fire and water,, so the changing of thought could be that of no thought from the element of fire and thought with a certain feeling which that of the element of water. its all very interesting as in the mental body exists the elements toO!

If you keep switching on and off it's because you're probably not ready for it yet and you've still have to live more life experiences in different ways. Read the Theory and make yourself a master in the theory section, read more philosophers and examine your life, get in touch with the gods in an ethereal way, when you've managed that part you're gonna feel free to start the training and you're gonna be the best in it! I've been experiencing the same, but you have to understand that this is not your only life and that you probably started your training in past life's with other methods other life experiences and that you have this opportunity in this life and you should do your best for it...
