Wholly Moses! The View From Atop Mt. Spine-I




















And so, it came to pass that Moses-self reached the top of Mount Spine-I, where God-self invited him to enjoy the One Serving Suggestion (Knowing Self = Creating Liberation) ... divided into ten bite-sized pieces .... one each for the ten sefirot-chakras of the Tree of Life ... the One Tree in the Garden, the human Central Nervous System ... mistaken for two trees of a very different type when Adam-Eve  .. cursed him-her-self with a wicked case of spectacular double-vision ("Silly First Person, there can't be duality, there can only be conception of duality ...!").



Am I making this up?


Not exactly.


There's a lot of Gematrically enticing evidence to support my hypotheses ... especially the God-self = Moses-self aspect(s).

Much of the rest, too ... but that'll have to be a topic, or set of them for another post-or-few .... or your own "random Googling" ... try keywords kabbalah gematria .... followed by whatever Biblical symbolism you'd like to know about ... Adam and Eve, snake, satan, moses, sinai, egypt, red sea, etc. etc. etc. ... and see what you get. If that doesn't yield results you like, or that you feel are comprehensive enough, you can always mix it up by adding the word Hebrew into the keywords.


And this site makes an excellent jumping-off point (if nothing else, it'll give you a ton of other useful search terms, to dig into the ultra-sophisticated user's guide for realized consciousness, that the Torah/Bible (Old Testament) actually is, originally.


And now ... back to the future-now of our God-Self/Moses-Self symbolism ....



Very simple.


When Moses-self asked God-self for God-self's name, God-self replied (and I quote) ...


AHIH AShR AHIH


I AM THAT I AM


AHIH AshR AHIH, as any Gematria student knows, or can find out in about three minutes ("Google is our friend" ...) ... adds up to:


543


... as opposed to Moses (aka MSh, unified awareness .... Mem-Shin ... Water-Fire) ... which adds up to ...


345


You see?


543
345


Like a .... mirror ..... the self of unified awareness (Water represents objective consciousness; fire represents subjective consciousness; the six-pointed star represents awareness, unified ... the Heart of the Self) .... meeting creating its creator-self creating itself ....

543
345


888


... the number of Mashiach; Messiah ... the manifested union of Water (Mem) and Fire (Shin).



... the holy whole being wholly whole, now.

Is That Atemporal Tantra You're Having?


A lot of people associate the term Tantra with sex; vastly improved sex, if the marketing materials are to be believed (and some of them are definitely not to be believed!)

As one respected academic who researches and writes about the esoteric depths of Tantric philosophy (David Gordon White) notes:

(Phony, modern) "Tantra is about ritualizing sex", whereas original Tantric practices where about "sexualizing ritual".

Beyond the standard "beats filling your sinuses with oily incense" .... what's up (pun fully intended) with that??

Are sex and spirituality mutually exclusive?

Au contraire -- Tantric philophies and systems are arguably the most ancient spiritual systems in the world ... and were developed long before sex stopped being seen as a natural aspect of life - every bit as natural (strange as it may sound to social conditioning; obvious as it will seem to anyone paying attention and willing to drop social conditioning) as breathing, eating or sleeping.

And, per the meaning of Tantra (from the Sanskrit "Tan" - to expand, and "Tra" - means of saving) -- Mantra is a tool which can be used to be "saved" (back into original consciousness) by mind ("Man", in Sanskrit) -- Yantra is a tool which can be used to be saved by form ("Yan", in Sanskrit), and Tantra is a tool-set which can be usedto be saved by expanding ("Tan", in Sanskrit) awareness via various methods, utilizing body-mind ... including, but not limited to, practices involved breath, bodily position (yogic asanas), mudras, mantras, sex, and whatever else proved useful.

Hence, a conventional meaning, in ancient India, for "Tantra" was also instruction-set, or, if you will: user's guide.

For instance: the Vijnanabhairava Tantra - 112 techniques for accessing conscious awareness of the true natura of Self (just one example amony many).

Which includes, quite actually, becoming aware that awareness itself precedes, supersedes, succeeds, comprises, creates, maintains and dissolves space-time itself.

And, *SAUH* - here's intending All Full-Blown Atemporal Tantra!
