Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 There is another website I know of that goes into all that in even grester details. Every part of Solomon's temple symbolizies something within the human body. Just like the bible says we are the living temple of God. I will try and find that website if you would like. In revelations the 7 churches are symbolic of the 7 major chakras. The book of revelations makes a lot more sense if it is read knowing what each thing is symbolizing...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 `Where the skull divides there lies the Gate of God.' - The Taittireeya Upanishad Hi Sel, Interesting site,thank you for sharing. It is interesting to see different perspective of the same concepts. I was reading about similar topics on another site which I will share. Heh,it all comes to Piturity(and/or Pineal gland) gland so long disscussed by any mystic. Some authors say with the interplay of the both glands a specific state of consciousness is achieved and a specific liquid produced. I have seen it as " soma " in Blavatsky writings or perhaps that is " amrita " too? who knows. They do say when the soma is produced it streams down the 3rd ventricle of the brain to the 4th ventricle and down the spinal cord where awakens Kundalini. Heh, the 3rd Initiation as described and awaited by many. Here it is the link,there are wiser people on this planet than me LOL: http://www.book-of-thoth.com/article1542.html If it is in any interest they are 3 parts of the article.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Hey Angel, Thanks for your input and for sharing that website. Yes, I also believe that soma can be the amrita that is produced in the brain. There is a school of thought according to which the vedic soma is exclusively a hallucinogenic beverage. Maybe, but this does not explain why the vedas make a clear distinction between the " soma from below " and the " soma from above " (i.e., from the brain?). BTW: the amrita is supposedly responsible for the fruity-flowery scent people smell during a K surge. It's also part of the reason why the kechari mudra is so effective--seemingly sticking your tongue up your sinus helps you collect the amrita trickling down from the pituitary gland. Thinking about it--the head is really an incredible place energetically speaking, is it?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 " The true Brahmin is thus indeed " he whose seven forefathers have drunk the juice of the moon-plant (Soma), " and who is a " Trisuparna, " for he has understood the secret of the Vedas. " -Blavatsky Hey Sel, yes,I agree with you. I didn't know there was " soma from below " amd " soma from above " To me are the same thing yes. Somewhere I read (I dont remember where) the yogis who were burried underground by Khechari Mudra they would extract the " immortal juice " from the brain and still be alive after long period of time. Interesting... Also from some extractions from Blavatsky I found: " The Gandharva of the Veda is the deity who knows and reveals the secrets of heaven and divine truths to mortals. Cosmically -- the Gandharvas are the aggregate powers of the solar-fire, and constitute its Forces; psychically -- the intelligence residing in the Sushumna [Kundalini?], Solar ray, the highest of the seven rays; mystically -- the occult force in the Soma (the moon, or lunar plant) and the drink made of it; physically -- the phenomenal, and spiritually -- the noumenal causes of Sound and the " Voice of Nature. " Hence, they are called the 6,333 " heavenly Singers " and musicians of Indra's loka who personify(even in number) the various and manifold sounds in Nature, both above and below. In the latter allegories they are said to have mystic power over women, and to be fond of them. The esoteric meaning is plain. They are one of the forms, if not the prototypes, of Enoch's angels, the Sons of God, who saw that the daughters of men were fair (Gen. vi.) who married them, and taught the daughters of the Earth the secrets of Heaven. SOMA is the moon astronomically; but in mystical phraseology, it is also the name of the sacred beverage drunk by the Brahmins and the Initiates during their mysteries and sacrificial rites. The " Soma " plant is the asclepias acida, which yields a juice from which that mystic beverage, the Soma drink, is made. Alone the descendants of the Rishis, the Agnihotri (the fire priests) of the great mysteries knew all its powers. But the real property of the true Soma was (and is) to make a new man of the Initiate, after he is reborn, namely once that he begins to live in his astral body (See " The Elixir of Life " *); for, his spiritual nature overcoming the physical, he would soon snap it off and part even from that etherealized form. Soma was never given in days of old to the non-initiated Brahman... " The question in [?] was mine Yes, amrita gives this sweet flowery smel/taste. Even though if the head centers are not ready yet,the taste can be unpleasant methal one. Yep,too much energy in the head I agree with you. Thats why restless men search for the " holly grail " without realizing it's been allways with them! Thank you for bringing this up. Interesting.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Sel, First I must tell you that I think it is fascinating that you see what are to you wings during your meditations. I remember one post were you said that you felt the wings were coming out of your back or head or something like that. Anyway, I believe that is just a fascinating experience. I also think that you are right about the shape of the sphenoid bone resembling wings. @@@¡§These could also be the wings of the caduceus, which are usually taken to mean " ascension " ? What if these wings meant " cranium " instead? Or both?¡¨ I believe that it possible, very possible. That theory sounds plausible. @@@I read somewhere that deep meditation experiences take one's awareness > to different places inside the physical body. On some level, this > sounds quite possible.@@@ Sel, I once visited my own body during meditation. I saw myself swimming around throughout my body. It was really cool, but I haven¡¦t been able to do it again since. I don¡¦t know how deep into meditation I was, it didn¡¦t seem like I was all that deep. The meditation I had yesterday, the one I posted about is to my recollection the deepest I have had yet, that is unless you can go deeper than you are realizing. I don¡¦t know, I have only been meditating since August 2006 and am still learning. @@@ Bottom line: is mysticism a journey inside the human body? I would „« love to hear what you all think. @@@ I was reading something just recently and it was talking about your journey was inside your body because that is where all things are stored. As for whether or not this is true, I don¡¦t know. Anyway, I think that some of you journey may be within, but I also know that some of it is outside the body. Anyway, you have brought up some interesting questions. I am going to do my own research to see what type of information I can come up with.
