THE NEW VIEW OVER ATLANTIS

John Michell 1972

Page 124

"Seven orders of magic squares and their traditional planetary associations. The smallest consists of the numbers 1-9 and the largest of 1-81, so arranged that the sum of numbers in each row, column and diagonal is the same. Each square has its characteristic numbers which, in the Sun square, are 111 (the sum of each line) and 666 (the sum of the numbers I-36 contained in it). The squares can also be given geometric expressions (see page 195)."

SATURN IN TRANSIT

BOUNDARIES OF MIND BODY AND SOUL

Erin Sullivan

1990


Page 23O

"Theseus prepared himself to return home victorious
. This was not the most exciting part of his journey, but the activities with which he became involved set the pattern for his own threshold struggle and his call to return. The mundane organization for sea travel included his fateful sails, about which we will hear more."

THE CALL TO RETURN (DES C.)

"The final work is that of the return. If the powers have blessed the hero, he now sets forth under their protection (emissary), if not, he flees and is pursued (transformation flight, obstacle flight). At the return threshold the transcendental powers must remain behind; the hero re-emerges from the kingdom of dread (return, resurrection). The boon that he brings restores the world. Joseph Campbell13"

"This is the final stage of the journey before it begins again, and consequently a most important one. It is not that each phase of the Saturn transit and its product is not of equal value, it is just that this particular time offers the promise of the peak that comes when Saturn reaches the M C once again. Each of the angles in its order of precedence is echoed in each subsequent phase. That is, when Saturn reaches the descendant, one hears the echoes of the previous I C transit and is recalled to the time when Saturn crossed the ascendant.
The paradox of the hero is that he is only a hero if he returns! Otherwise, none would know of the feats accomplished or of the renewed energy that has been a product of the search or of the acquisition of new vision. It is a surfacing phase, a time that is just as stressful for the individual as was the transit of Saturn over the ascendant. It, too, is a threshold struggle, and the struggle to come to terms with the world and its demands can be highly challenging during this time.
As Marie Louise Von Franz says: 'Certain conditions have first to be fulfil­led by- the hero. In many myths and fairy tales there is not a / Page 231 / difficulty in getting into- the Beyond but a terrific difficulty in getting back. '14
As mentioned in chapter 3, the interrelationship between the unconscious and the conscious is defined by the horizon (ascendant-descendant axis) in' the chart. Therefore, it can be a struggle to let go of the habits in which one has become entrenched during Saturn's journey through the lower hemisphere of thehoro­scope. In fact, it is largely a perceptual shift that needs to be made, but it is not all that simple.
Continuing, Von Franz writes, 'This is a threshold difficulty, this bringing back of something which has been found in the Beyond. So the threshold problem is not specific for creation myths. The general difficulty is between the realm of consciousness and the unconscious, in bringing over contents from one to the other.'
In bringing to light that which has been instinctive and somatic, many things can be lost or misunderstood. However, the more awake one is during this transit, the less struggle one will create.
There is a vast, often unrecognizable difference between what is qualitative about the life experience and what is quantitative. 'This qualitative difference between things in the unconscious and the same things after they come over' the threshold of consciousness probably creates the threshold dif­ficulties. '
The descendant, the seventh-house cusp, is where 'self' con­fronts 'others' in a meaningful way. The last fourteen years of self-discovery can end up an indulgence if they are not tested against the social backdrop.
When Saturn begins its transit over the descendant (and this can be as soon as it enters the sign on the descendant) the horizon of awareness is activated in the realm of 'others', and the first stage in social integration is often undertaken in one-to-one relationships. It is not uncommon for existing relationships to undergo a great deal of examination and stress when one of the partners is experiencing this transit. That person may be finding it difficult to relate because it is easy to project Saturn on to the partner, especially during this time. The partners in life can personify restriction. Because relationships are eventful mirrors of / Page 232 / one's inner self, one is really confronting one's invisible partner, the anima or animus."

Page 240

Eighth House: Metamorphosis

"The eighth house requires that we undergo a ritual purging in order to prepare ourselves for the inevitable. It is not necessary to die in a literal sense, but it is a phase through which we must pass in order to move on to a philosophical reconciliation of opposites.
At this stage of the journey, Demeter has had to reconcile herselr to the fact that her daughter must spend part of the year in the underworld with the Lord of Death. Once Demeter realized that the bargaining phase was complete, and everything that could be done had been done, she restored fecundity to earth. Her own mother, Rhea, came to tell her that she was to receive great - honours among the immortals, and urged her to release her great anger against Zeus and assume a new status, with Zeus granting her whatever honours she wished.
Demeter founded the Eleusinian Mysteries which served as a religious catharsis in the Mediterranean world for some two thou­sand years. The mysteries of Demeter and Kore satisfied a deep need in the agrarian culture for a personal, participatory experi­ence in the ritual cycles of decay, death and rebirth. The restora­tion of order out of chaos is implicit too, and at the very least, Demeter fulfilled her function as a culture goddess.
Persephone was irrevocably bound now to Hecate, who became her personal attendant. Through her ordeal Persephone was meta­metamor:phosed from Kore to Queen of the Underworld. She had been initiated into the mysteries of sex and death, and matured because of that experience. The ritual of mother and daughter is now complete with this phase. Through the marriage of the daughter, the sexuality of the eighth-house experience, both mother and child are transformed.
When opposite forces encounter each other, an impasse is / Page 241 / reached rendering everything quiescent until a transformation occurs. There is no true union unless both or all parts are changed for ever."

Ninth House: Civilization

"Here we reach the final stage of the return phase of the heroic journey. This refinement,phase.will bring to fruition the efforts of the past cycle, a twenty-nine-year cycle if one has experienced a full return. In particular, the experiences that have been part of the Saturn transit from the descendant to the ninth house cusp will be assimilated into the philosophy of life that will gradually mature into a working system. By nature of the process, this system also will have to change. The magical properties have been left behind, the integration of opposites has been faced, the.meta-morphosis and transformation.has been encountered. There is no guarantee that any of these rather exotic accomplishments have been, or will be, completely successful, but in the next stage we meet our beliefs head-on when Saturn is transiting the ninth It is never too late to capture a victory or turn a moment from / Page 245 / bad to good. When Demeter had fully reconciled herself to the truth, she restored the natural balance of the earth. Having established the Eleusinian mystery cult, she provided an eighth-house experience for mortal citizens - they could now ritualistically partake in the death and rebirth of the seasons. That these rites remain shrouded in mystery to this day seems appropriate. Those rites offered a joyous participation in the death ritual and yet live to see another day. As the"Homeric hymn says, 'the one who is uninitiated into the holy rites and has no part, is destined not to experience a similar joy when he is dead in the gloomy realm below'. They offered a kind of homoeopathic death. The religious rites offered not just solace over seasonal transition but consolation to the living in the face of the inevitable.
Demeter had still more to offer. The ninth-house experience is both learning and teaching. While she was in the home of King Celeus she had met Triptolemus. Only now did she give to him the knowledge of agricultural skills and bade him teach the people, handing the power of self-nourishment to mortals. The end of Persephone's journey and hers finds the heavens and earth and the place below in order; gods on Olympos, mortals on earth and the Queen in Hades - all in their rightful places.
As the new king of Athens, Theseus ,brought his form of order to culture as well. 'After Aegeus's death Theseus conceived a wonderful and far-reaching plan, which was nothing less than to concentrate the inhabitants of Attica into a capital.'2O He gathered people from all areas and bound them by democracy; he founded games and festivals and also established religious rituals - there was no end to his generosity to culture. Plutarch tells us that he shaped and formed the basis of a commonwealth.
We might not be able to bring civilization to a peak, but in the ninth-house phase we bring all that we have learned to bear upon our higher mind. Everyone of us becomes civilized in our own way and each of us experiences numinous spiritual or religious feelings. The maturation implicit in personal experience leads to the formulation of a belief system. Saturn brings a serious tone to the ninth house and commitment to a greater goal is established. The degree of commitment'depends upon one's age, status and / Page 246 / aspirations, but so frequently is Saturn in the ninth house associated with education that whatever the circumstances are, all life takes on an educational tone, As the melancholic scholar, Saturn is quite at home here, pondering the meaning of life. It is an ideal time to consolidate information and apply the mind to intellectual tasks, often in preparation for a new life work..."

Depression or hopelessness at this stage of the journey serves to release the ego from attachment to the false systems of order. It may / Page 247 / coincide with an event or revelation that indicates the degree to which ones attitudes need to change. It was in the third house that we began to gather information; in the sixth house the data was assimilated and rendered practical and useful, but it is in the ninth house that the oppertunity to view the 'whole picture' arises. It is from this perspective that the hero sees what his culture needs. From the modern hero, it is within himself that culture and civilization begins"

"...It is at this next turn of the wheel that we come to meet our / Page 248 / fate in the world. The latter period of the transit begins to arouse a latent sense of social responsibility. It is now that the hero hears vague calls from the distance and unconsciously begins to prepare himself for change. The psyche in all its greater"wisdom begins to issue forth the call to adventure by hinting at new directions and uncharted horizons. These subtle prods come in many guises ­ restlessness, ambivalence, inability to commit oneself to a direc­tion, psychological upheavals with no apparent external cause, feelings of decay, entropy and so on. The psyche makes urgent attempts to; alert the conscious mind that the t:ime is rapidly arriving when we must shoulder new responsibilities and embark on a new path. With this in mind, we reach the end of our journey, only to begin again."

 

 

CITY OF REVELATION

John Michell 1972

 Page 160

"All who study the cabalistic science and the geometry and numbers of creation are attacked by melancholy, some-times fatally, the suicide rate among cabalists being notoriously high. The Point is clearly made in Durer's Melancholia. The garden of paradise,symbol of the ultimate perfection of human consciousness, has many delightful inhabitants which are at the same time dange-rous beasts to whoever fails to recognise their nature and function; and of these the most treachorous is the mercurial old serpent of wisdom, that leads men on in the search of the treasure of which it is in itself the the venomous custodian".

"..."And if one is interested in life, one must be particularly interested in death, mustn't one?"

"Oh, well, after all, there is some sort of difference. Life is life which keeps the form through change of substance." "Why should the form remain?" said Hans Castorp. / Page 267 / "why? Young man, what you are saying now sounds far from humanistic."

 


SATURN IN TRANSIT

BOUNDARIES OF MIND BODY AND SOUL

Erin Sullivan

1990

Page 77

"With the personifications of his destiny to guide and aid him, the hero goes forward in his adventure until he comes to the "threshold guardian" at the entrance to the zone of magnified power. Such custodians bound the world in the four directions-also up and down-standing for the limits of the hero's present sphere, or life horizon. Beyond them is darkness, the unknown, and danger; just as beyond the parental watch is danger to the infant and beyond the protection of his society danger to the member / Page 78 / of the tribe. The usual person is more than content, he is even proud, to remain within the indicated bounds, and popular belief gives him every reason to fear so much as the first step into the unexplored. Thus the sailors of the bold vessels of Columbus, breaking the horizon of the medieval mind-sailing, as they thought, into the boundless ocean of immortal being that surrounds the cosmos, like an endless mythological serpent biting its tail37-had to be cozened and urged on like children, because of their fear of the fabled leviathans, mermaids, dragon kings, and other monsters of the deep."

 

 

THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES

Joseph Campbell 1993

THE HERO AND THE GOD

Page 89

THE CROSSING OF THE FIRST THRESHOLD

 

"The "Wall of Paradise," which conceals God from human sight, is described by Nicholas of Cusa as constituted of the "coincidence of opposites," its gate being guarded by "the highest spirit of reason, who bars the way until he has been overcome."53 The pairs of opposites (being and not being, life and death, beauty and ugliness, good and evil, and all the other polarities that bind the faculties to hope and fear, and link the organs of action to deeds of defense and acquisition) are the clashing rocks (Symplegades) that crush the traveler, but between which the heroes always pass. This is a motif known throughout the world."

 

PARADE EYES IN THE GARDEN OF NEED

Page 90

The Belly of the Whale

"The idea that the passage of the magical threshold is a transit into a sphere of rebirth is symbolized in the worldwide womb image of the belly of the whale. The hero, instead of conquering or conciliating the power of the threshold, is swallowed into the unknown, and would appear to have died.

Mishe-Nahma, King of Fishes,
In his wrath he darted upward,
Flashing leaped into the sunshine,
Opened his great jaws and swallowed
Both canoe and Hiawatha
56

The Eskimo of Bering Strait tell of the trickster-hero Raven, how, one day, as he sat drying his clothes on a beach, he observed a whale-cow swimming gravely close to shore. He called: "Next time you come up for air, dear, open your mouth and shut your eyes." Then he slipped quickly into his raven clothes, pulled on his raven mask, gathered his fire sticks under his arm, and flew out over the water. The whale came up. She did as she had been told. Raven darted through the open jaws and straight into her gullet. The shocked whale-cow snapped and sounded; Raven stood inside and looked around.57

Page 91

The Zulus have a story of two children and their mother swallowed by an elephant. When the woman reached the animal's stomach, "she saw large forests and great rivers, and many high lands; on one side there were many rocks; and there were many people who had built their village there; and many dogs and many cattle; all was there inside the elephant."58

The Irish hero, Finn MacCool, was swallowed by a monster of indefinite form, of the type known to the Celtic world as a peist. The little German girl, Red Ridinghood, was swallowed by a wolf. The Polynesian favorite, Maui, was swallowed by his great-great-grandmother, Hine-nui-te-po. And the whole Greek pantheon, with the sole exception of Zeus, was swallowed by its father, Kronos

.

The Greek hero Herakles, pausing at Troy on his way homeward with the belt of the queen of the Amazons, found that the city was being harassed by a monster sent against it by the sea-god Poseidon. The beast would come ashore and devour people as they moved about on the plain. Beautiful Hesione, the daughter of the king, had just been bound by her father to the sea rocks as a propitiatory sacrifice, and the great visiting hero agreed to rescue her for a price. The monster, in due time, broke to the surface of the water and opened its enormous maw. Herakles took a dive into the throat, cut his way out through the belly, and left the monster dead.

This popular motif gives emphasis to the lesson that the passage of the threshold is a form of self-annihilation. Its resemblance to the adventure of the Symplegades is obvious. But here, instead of passing outward, beyond the confines of the visible world, the hero goes inward, to be born again. The disappearance corresponds to the passing of a worshiper into a temple-where he is to be quickened by the recollection of who and what he is, namely dust and ashes unless immortal. The temple interior, the belly /Page 92/ of the whale, and the heavenly land beyond, above, and below the confines of the world, are one and the same. That is why the approaches and entrances to temples are flanked and defended by colossal gargoyles: dragons, lions, devil-slayers with drawn swords, resentful dwarfs, winged bulls. These are the threshold guardians to ward away all incapable of encountering the higher silences within. They are preliminary embodiments of the dangerous aspect of the presence, corresponding to the mythological ogres that bound the conventional world, or to the two rows of teeth of the whale. They illustrate the fact that the devotee at the moment of entry into a temple undergoes a metamorphosis. His secular character remains without; he sheds it, as a snake its slough. Once inside he may be said to have died to time and returned to the World Womb, the World Navel, the Earthly Paradise. The mere fact that anyone can physically walk past the temple guardians does not invalidate their significance; for if the intruder is incapable of encompassing the sanctuary, then he has effectually remained without. Anyone unable to understand a god sees it as a devil and is thus defended from the approach. Allegorically, then, the passage into a temple and the hero-dive through the jaws of the whale are identical adventures, both denoting, in picture language, the life-centering, life-renewing act.

"No creature," writes Ananda Coomaraswamy, "can attain a higher grade of nature without ceasing to exist."59 Indeed, the physical body of the hero may be actually slain, dismembered, and scattered over the land or sea-as in the Egyptian myth of the savior Osiris: he was thrown into a sarcophagus and committed to the Nile by his brother Set,60 and when he returned from the dead his brother slew him again, tore the body into fourteen pieces, and scattered these over the land. The Twin Heroes of the Navaho had to pass not only the clashing rocks, but also the reeds that cut the traveler to pieces, the cane cactuses that tear him to pieces, and the boiling sands that overwhelm him. The hero whose attachment to ego is already annihilate passes back and forth across the horizons of the world, in and out of the dragon, as readily as a king through all the rooms of his house. And therein lies his power to save; for his passing and returning demonstrate that through all the contraries of phenomenality the Uncreate-Imperishable remains, and there is nothing to fear.

And so it is that, throughout the world, men whose function it has been to make visible on earth the life-fructifying mystery of the slaying of the dragon have enacted upon their own bodies the great symbolic act, scattering their flesh, like the body of Osiris, for the renovation of the world

THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES

Joseph Campbell 1993

THE HERO AND THE GOD

Page 32

"Having won that preliminary victory before sunset, the con-queror aquired in the first watch of the night knowledge of his previous existences, in the second watch the divine eye of om-niscient vision, and in the last watch understanding of the chain / Page 33 / of causation. He experienced perfect enlightenment at the break of day.37

Then for seven days Gautama-now the Buddha; the Enlightened-sat motionless in bliss; for seven, days he stood apart and regarded the spot on which he had re«:eived enlightement; for seven days he paced between the place of the sitting and the place of the. standing; for seven days he abode in a pavilion fur­nished by the gods and reviewed the whole doctrine of causality and release; for seven days he sat beneath the tree where the girl Sujata had brought him milk-rice in a golden bowl, and there meditated on the docrine of the. sweetness of Nirvana; he removed to another tree and a great storm raged for seven days, but the King of Serpents emerged from the roots and protected the Buddha with his; expanded hood; finally, the Buddha sat for seven days beneath a fourthr tree enjoying. still the sweetness of liberation. Then he doubted wheher his message could be com­municated, and he thought to retain the wisdom for himsself; but the god Brahma descended from. the zenith to implore that he should become the teacher of gods and men. The Buddha was thus persuaded to proclaim the path.38 And he went back into / the cities of men where he moved among the citizens of the world, bestowing the inestimable boon of the knowledge of the way."

Page 33 (Notes)

"37 This is the most important single moment in Oriental mythology, a counterpart of the Crucifixion of the West. The Buddha beneath the Tree of Enlightenment (the Bo Tree) and Christ on Holy Rood (the Tree of Redemption) are analogous figures, incorporating of an archetypal World Savior, World Tree motif, which is of immemorial antiquity. Many other variants of the-theme will be found among the episodes to come. The Immovable Spot and Mount Calvary are images of the World Navel, or World Axis (see p. 40, infra).
The calling of the :Earth to witness is represented in traditional Buddhist art by images of the Buddha, sitting in the classic Buddha posture, with the right hand resting on the right knee and its fingers lightly touching the ground.
38 The point is that Buddhahood, Enllightenment cannot be communicated, but only the way to Enlightenment. This doctrine of the incommunicability of the Truth which is beyond all names and forms is basic to the great Oriental, as well as to the Platonic, traditions. Whereas the truths of science are communicable, being demonstrable hypotheses. rationally founded on / Page 34 / observable facts, ritual, mythodology, and metaphysics are but guides to the brink of a transcendent illumination, the final step to which must be taken by each in his own silent experience."

 

THE MAGIC MOUNTAIN

Thomas Mann

1875 1955

Page 465 / 466

"Had not the normal, since time was, lived on the achievements of the abnormal? Men consciously and voluntarily descended into disease and madness, in search of knowledge which, acquired by fanaticism, would lead back to health; after the possession and use of it had ceased to be conditioned by that heroic and abnormal act of sacrifice. That was the true death on the cross, the true Atone-ment."

THE APPEARANCE OF KALKI AVATAR

(August 17, 1999)

THE APPEARANCE OF KALKI AVATAR

On this day of the Sravana month sukla 6 (August 17), the appearance day of Lord Kalki is observed according to the Pancaratra texts.  Famous as the last of the ten major avatara-s of Lord Vishnu, He has yet to make His appearance in this cycle of time, a time so dangerous that we are encouraged in the Srimad Bhagavatam to worship Him for  protection:
(According to some, He appears on Vaisakha sukla 12.)

kalkiH kaleH kAla-malAt prapAtu
dharmAvanAyoru-kRtAvatAraH

"May Kalki-deva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who appeared as an incarnation to protect religious principles, protect me from the dirt of the age of Kali."

This prayer becomes more and more relevant as the age of Kali and its  degradation progresses. In fact we are now approaching the 51st Centennial of the Age of Kali in early 1999, which promises to be interesting if one is inclined to believe astrological predications. Regardless of the details, each and every year is a gradual step into darkness and chaos.  Only the recitation of the name and pastimes of the Lord Kalki and His incarnations can free us from the shackles of the Age of Kali.

"...When the Supreme Lord has appeared on earth as Kalki, the maintainer of religion, Saya-yuga will begin, and human society will bring forth progeny in the mode of goodness.

When the moon, the sun and Brhaspati are together in the constellation Karkata, and all three enter simulatenously into the lunar mansion Pusya--at that exact moment the age of Satya, or Krta, will begin."

(translation from BBT Srimad Bhagavatam 1987)

 

KA KALI KALKI KALKI KALI KA

"Maitreya, the "kindly one," may be considered either as a bodhisattva a, according to the sutras, or as a Buddha, according to the Tantras. When he is represented as a Buddha he is shown seated, but the legs, instead of being locked, are pendent. He is the only divinity in the Northern Buddhist pantheon represented seated in European fashion. He has the signs of a Buddha such as long earlobes, the urna (the auspicious tuft of hair between the eyebrows, signifying superhuman quality), and the ushnisha (cranial bump on the head, symbolizing wisdom), and he wears the robes of a monk.

Maitreya, also known as the future Buddha, who has still to come, is now thought to be waiting in Tushita Heaven for the right time to come down to earth. Tushita heaven is one of the thirty-three heavens over Mount Meru and is considered the special field of Maitreya. Tibetans believe that if someone makes statues and thangkas of Maitreya Buddha and chants the mantra "The Promise of Maitreya Buddha," that person will be reborn in Tushita Heaven after death.

Shown with an extremely sweet and gentle countenance, he holds in his left hand, between the thumb and forefinger, the stem of a lotus flower. The bloom of this lotus supports a wheel. This is the Buddhist wheel of spiritual instruction. His right hand is held in the varada mudra (Tib. Mchog sbyin gyi phyag rgya) of generosity or boon granting, with the palm facing downwards and the fingers extended.

Surmounting his image is a parasol (Tib. Gdugs), the traditional symbol of both protection and royalty"

THE ALMOST FORGOTTEN DAY

Mark A. Finley

1988

Page 48
The first law actually commanding Sunday rest was issued by the Emperor Constantine in March, 321 A.D. His decree declared, "On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing' in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits." SDA Source Book, p. 999. But church historian Philip Schaff makes this significant point: " . . . the Sunday law of Constantine must not be overrated. . . There is no reference whatever in his law either to the fourth commandment or to the resurrection of Christ. Besides he expressly exempted the country districts. . . Christians and pagans had been accustomed to festival rests: Constantine made these rests to synchronize, and gave the preference to Sunday." - Ibid., pp 999, 1000."
