43. Then the faun was enraptured, and followed far; at last the harper was silent, and the faun became Pan in the midst of the primal forest of Eternity.
44. Thou canst not charm the dolphin with silence, O my prophet! -
43. Then the faun was enraptured, and followed far; at last the harper was silent, and the faun became Pan in the midst of the primal forest of Eternity.
44. Thou canst not charm the dolphin with silence, O my prophet!I am in a room where each of the grades sits—Ipsissimus and Neophyte may not be present as I don't see them anywhere. Each grade is a bulky mass of a person, and I think, though it is hard to tell, there is also a companion attached to each—a very thin person next to the large. They all wear old clothes, almost of a hand-me-down sort, or what you would expect from a senior citizen who has no interest in looking their best, and hasn't for many years now—it seems Saturn is the dominant funk they are all prey to, in one degree or another. The numbers two and nine are perhaps a little lighter, and a little brighter, but this is evident only as a negative perception. In other words, I have to think about it, otherwise the whole seems very close and stuffy.
I seem to be moving about and testing each person/grade. I'm am looking for something. With each, a magnetic current is activated between the primary and the secondary person. I can see clearly that each person is an individual, but the energy circulating between the two is universal and common to all the grades. I am not finding what I am looking for, which I think is some sense that anyone of these blobs is truer than any other—they all seem the same.
There is no relationship between the next to last, and the last; or between the first and what comes after the first. No relationship! One is infinite, the others are just larger or smaller finite sets. No relationship...
How many times must a man trade in their limited frame of reference for a slightly larger frame of reference before they are ready to 'go all the way?' The answer my friend is yada yada yada...
Love and Will

Talk about climax. Jeez. That ended beautifully!
I just came across this passage written by Rawn Clark in "A Bardon Companion". I felt it is petinent for today's meditation.
" The first thing I should say in terms of describing the merging with the Unity, pertains to the sense of self that the magician experiences. The self-awareness of the Unity is often described as an "I am" state, but what is often overlooked is the fact that this deific sense of self-identity is of the same quality as that experienced by a normal human being. The only difference is in quantity as the Unity encompasses every thing that has existence and the individual human encompasses only a minute portion of that infinite expanse. It is, in fact, this continuum of alikeness that the magician follows in the ascent or expansion of the quantity of consciousness. In simplistic terms, the magician stands firmly rooted in the quality of self-awareness and expands the quantity of that awareness until it encompasses the Unity of All Being."

Liber Aleph - recently mentioned by Tinman, I think, in relation to these last few verses - has something similar to say
"Now every Thought is a Separation, and the Medicine of that is to marry Each One with its Contradiction, as I have shewed formerly in many Writings. And thou shalt clap the one to the other with Vehemence of Spirit, swiftly as Light itself, that the Ecstasy be spontaneous. [...] Verily; the nature of this Method is Solution, and the Destruction of every Complexity by Explosion of Ecstasy, as every Element thereof is fulfilled by its Correlative, and is annihilated (since it loseth separate Existence) in the Orgasm that is consummated within the Bed of thy Mind.

When I read about the Breath of Fire, I was reminded of 37 through 44 and saw it in a different light
www.kundaliniyoga.org/pranayam.htmlOnce you see that this breathing style creates a rhythm and the rhythm allows the bloodstream to get charged, you become more aware of the true self and it’s true name.
