Symbol of the Dragon

Symbol of the Dragon - (2266)

Typhon and the Sexual Force

The symbol of the dragon nearly has it all.

The dragon is a symbol and it was also something real. Master Samael said that in the times of Atlantis and Lemuria there were actual creatures very much like the dragons that appear in our myths and legends.

Wings and Tail

The dragon has wings, so that it can fly to the heavens and to the spirit. The dragon has a snake like tail pointing downwards to the infernos. Meaning it can take us down there too.

In short the dragon has knowledge of both the heavens and the infernos and can take us to both depending on us. Which is what the sexual force in the human being does and also what the Typhon in us does as well.

Wise and Old

The dragon is always portrayed to be immeasurably wise and old. Plus being very magical. This reminds us so closely of the ‘Devil’ or our psychological trainer. Where it possesses all the wisdom of cause and effect, contrasted duality, etc. from witnessing all of our errors over the whole time that we have been in creation, in this cosmic day and in previous cosmic days.

It is also said that when we defeat our inner psychological trainer or Lucifer He confers powers and faculties upon us. Making Him the bearer of such things, just as the dragon is said to be the bearer of mystery and magic.

Fire

The dragon harnesses fire, meaning that it manages the divine fire, linking it to the sexual force. The Typhon indeed has control over our inner fire or sexual force. It can supply it and remove it at will by command of our inner Father dwelling in secret within us.

Conclusion

The dragon is such a good symbol for the Typhon Baphomet or that part of ourselves that is the psychological trainer. It captures its attributes all in one creature so beautifully.

It also symbolises quite well the sexual force within the human being.

Attention with Mind, Attention with Essence - (5197)

These two attentions are different. Attention with the mind tires the brain. and reduces the flow of life into steps, where it is inevitable that the narration of the mind begins to take over. With the awareness of steps comes a certain tediousness and the feeling of the flow of life leaving us behind. With the attention of mind very little of what's behind events comes to us... Attention with the essence brings the power of presence, in other words brings a certain depth and continuity of flow Attention with the essence doesn't tire or strain and opens doorways into perceiving what is behind events and the thoughts and feelings that appear within us. It allows us also to flow with the flow of life, which is a pleasant feeling. Conclusion, make the essence bring attention to outer and inner life. End (5197).

The Sacred Substance Askokin - (962)

Introduction In simple terms, the sacred Askokin substance is the result of the mercury and the sulphur. It is the transmuted energy that crystallises to form the internal bodies (astral, mental and causal). In other words, it is the transmutation of our sexual energies. The Abrustdonis’ and ‘Helkdonis that Gurdjieff mentions in the excerpt below, taken from “Belzeebub’s Tales to His Grandson” are none other than the elements of mercury and the sulphur so spoken about in Alchemy. Excerpt on the Sacred Substance Askokin “I first learned that the destiny of beings arising on this planet of yours is chiefly to elaborate—by means of the process of their existence—the vibrations required by Nature for the maintenance of those former parts of the planet now called Moon and Anulios, when, do you remember, I became worthy personally to converse for the second time with His Conformity the then still Angel, but now Archan...

Wisdom from the Movie “Kingdom of Heaven” - (2168)

Introduction There are some movies that leave you with some pieces of advice that at point or another in your life or in the lives of others prove useful. This movie: “Kingdom of Heaven” was terrible to watch (too many battle scenes and people dying) but offered some very useful messages. In this post, I have presented a few, that have come in handy at point or another. Just to give you a bit of context, the movie is about the crusades, where the French and English were trying to defend the “Holy City” – Jerusalem from Islamic occupation. The topic of religion and God is a constant theme in the movie. It is very violent though, matching it frankly, quite awful to watch. Your Soul is in Your Keeping Alone An interesting dialogue between the French appointed king of Jerusalem and French Knight, the protagonist of the movie. Note, the king wears that metal mask because he has leprosy. King Baldwin I...
