Basic Principles Of Energy Balancing

1. There is an all pervasive life energy in the body, that like the blood continuously circulates. 2. This energy is the matrix of the physical form. Order in the energy form is order in the physical form and vice versa. 3. The energy field is wholistic, it underlies, and is Connected With the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual being. 4. The energy field is the subtle aspect of both health and disease. 5. Ordering the energy field will gradually order the physical and emotional bodies. It is a way of working from within outwards. It is subtle yet definitely purposeful. 6. The energy field is basically 'polarized' into positive and negative, or yin and yang. 7. Positive is yang, outgoing, dynamic, aggresive and hat. Negative is yin, receptive, absorbing and cool. 8. They are the basic pulse of the universe, contracting and expanding, drawing in and going out. 9. In the body, energy-is continuously going out to the universe and drawing in from the universe. Energy flows out through the right hand and comes in through the left hand. 10. Metal is positive and stimulates energy. organic material like wood or cotton wool, is negative and absorbs energy or, draws it in. Arranging these materials in different ways, creates a life energy 'battery' or orgone box, which can be used for healing. 11. In behaviour the life pulse, manifests in the form of Reaching out to the environment, from the self and drawing in from the environment, into the self. Self and environment form a polarity that needs to be in dynamic balance. However one can fixate on either one. The risk in being fixated on the outgoing pole, is that one can lose receptivity and the sense of ones self (it diminishes into the background of awareness). The alternative risk is that one becomes so receptive, that one is forever stressed by the environment (hypersensitivity, allergy etc.) and that one has a strong sense of self, but cannot risk it in going out to the environment (through fear of losing the self despite the fact that it is in risking the self, that the self gains and grows) it can result in a condition of contracted recoil.

Solar Lodge

Solar Lodge was a secret society based on Ordo Templi Orientis and the works of Aleister Crowley. The Lodge was established in 1962, and withdrew into initiatory inactivity in 1972. The precursor to Solar Lodge was set in motion by Ray Burlingame ("Frater Aquarius"), when he initiated Georgina "Jean" Brayton ("Soror Capricornus") in 1962. Although Burlingame was a ninth-degree member of Ordo Templi Orientis, he did not hold a charter to initiate new members or found new bodies, consequently O.T.O. has never accepted Solar Lodge as a valid body of O.T.O. Solar Lodge was... not really a branch of OTO. We view it as an ill-advised attempt to appropriate the name and organization after Germer's death... - Hymenaeus Beta, OTO, to Frater Shiva - June 14, 2007 In 1965, shortly before his death, Burlingame instructed Brayton to initiate other people, which she did, expanding Solar Lodge in the 1960s to include over 50 members By 1967, the Lodge owned several small mansions, a gas station, a bookstore, and a desert property known as Solar Ranch. In 1969, the Lodge ran a bookstore in Blythe, California; it operated Solar Ranch near Vidal, California; and it owned a gas station in Vidal with a cafe, motel, bar, house, and grocery. In 1969, the members of the lodge were charged with mistreatment of the six-year-old son of one the members in a case that came to be known as "The Boy in the Box". Brayton, her husband, and other officers performed "interstate flight to avoid prosecution," traveled to Mexico and Canada, and eventually engaged in a publicity campaign that alleged a conspiracy against them by law enforcement officers and the courts. Initially, a few members went to jail for 6 months on a felony conviction, a few went to jail for 3 months on a misdemeanor conviction, and a few had their charges dismissed. When Brayton and her husband were arrested, she pleaded no contest and was sentenced to three years of probation along with a $500 fine. In a now omitted and inaccurate chapter in the 1971 book, The Family, by Ed Sanders, the text made alleged connections between Charles Manson and O.T.O...

An Alchemical Coin The Rose Noble Of Edward Iii

I am to lecture, for the first time in some years, on Ben Jonson. Starting to think about The Alchemist made me think of one of the coins I would dearly love to own, but could never afford, an Edward III rose noble. William Camden mentions this about the reputation of this wonderful medieval coin in the early modern period: “The first gold that K(ing) Edw. 3. coyned, was in the yeare 1343, and the peeces were called Florences, because Florentines were the coyners, as Easterlings of Sterling money: Shortly after he coyned Nobles, of noble, faire & fine gold, the penny of gold; afterward the Rose Noble then current for 6, shillings 8. pence, & which our Alchimists do affirme (as an unwritten verity) was made by projection or multiplication Alchimicall of Raymond Lully in the Tower of London, who wold prove it as Alchmically, beside the tradition of the Rabbies in that faculty, by the inscription; for as upon the one side there is the kings image, in a shippe to notifie that he was Lord of the seas, with his titles, set upon the reverse a crosse floury with Lioneux, inscribed Jeus autem transiens per medium eorum ibat. Which they profoundly expound, as Jesus passed invisible & in most secret manner by the middest of Pharisees, so that gold was made by invisible and secret art amidst the ignorant. But other say that text was the onely Amulet used in that credulous warfaring age to escape dangers in battailes.” Remaines concerning Britaine (1636), p.187. The inscription on the edge of the reverse does indeed spell out: “IhC . AVTEm . TRAIICIEIIS . P . mEDIVm . ILLORVm . IBAT” which is from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Luke: 28. And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath. 29. And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30. But he Passing Through the midst of them went his way. No wonder this mysterious inscription caused the coin to acquire a magical aura, as amulet or product of transmutation. Thomas Warton in his The History of English Poetry touches on the alchemical poetry of the period, and mentions Lully as having used false promises to Edward III: “Norton's heroes in the Occult Sciences are Bacon, Albertus Magnus, and Raymond Lully, to whose specious promises of supplying the coinage of England with inexhaustible mines of Philosophical gold, king Edward the third became an illustrious dupe.” Jonson knows about Lully: Nano’s song in Volpone contains an allusion to his ownership of the elixir (though nothing compared to Scoto’s oil): Had old Hippocrates, or Galen, That to their books put med'cines all in, But known this secret, they had never (Of which they will be guilty ever) Been murderers of so much paper, Or wasted many a hurtless taper; No Indian drug had e'er been famed, Tabacco, sassafras not named; Ne yet, of guacum one small stick, sir, Nor Raymund Lully's great elixir.
