More thoughts on the creative process

I find the parallel to the process of creating thoughtforms with that of the 'Gnosis' of creation still quite profound, and I'm reminded of the lightning struck tower in the tarot.  A destruction of all you have known and believed in such a way that it makes room for a new foundation and new faiths.  It has made me realize a great many things that are constants throughout the myriad of universes that cross through this space.

I had been aware of the Gnosis creation texts before, but I had never really and truly examined them until several interesting discussions with a co-worker made me examine these parables more closely with the eyes of a practitioner rather than as a religious document. (I'll note that our discussions were not of an occult nature, simply of trying to reconcile the Nag Haamdii texts vs archeology.  Yup I have some very interesting co-workers. :)

The epiphany was astounding.  What is described as the Gnosis, is really a very real guide into higher magickal workings.  If you think of your inner god-self as 'the perfect man', and the forming of the guardians or thoughtforms like the birth or creation of the 5 archons, then the whole of the text begins to make sense as a guide to magick ritualism or working.  Taken in this context then, the relationship of the lights, the rays, the names of beings, archons and arch-angels and the lights/powers/concepts they represent becomes wholly clear and available for personal use.

So then the question becomes, is the Gnosis an historical/mythological document of religion/religious teachings or is it a parable used to initiate/guide people into true magickal works?  Is this the real 'secret/inner' teachings of Jesus?  These questions have haunted me for some time now as logical puzzles that are curiosities rather than things that have a bearing on my work.  They are important for some people out there, though, hence the reason for sharing.

Universal Cosmology

So I was watching a science program on universal cosmology and the 'big bang' theory regression when it was discovered by cosmologists what we as practitioners have known all along.  It is awesome to think that science is finally catching up.  This realization by cosmologists is that we are part of a multitude of parallel universes which operate on different rules of physics, separated by a thin layer they call membranes and we call the veil. 

The whole issue began with the four universal forces, electromagnetism, gravity, weak force and strong force. (sounds a lot like the four elements to me, but I digress)  What physicists have had a hard time understanding is why gravity is so much weaker than the other three forces.  When they finally hit on the theory that gravity actually originates in another universe/dimension and we see only a small manifestation/leakage into our own dimension (the material or physical).  Once this was established, gravity calculations finally began to make sense and the relationship of the four forces came in to balance mathematically. 

One day they will realize another fundamental truth that practitioners already know, that our consciousness/soul is also an extension from another universe into the material/physical world, and as such is already connected to the energy/spiritual universe.  Though means of shifting our perspective and applying our will, we transcend the membranes/veils of other realities/universes, and 'leak' other energies into other manifestations (magick of the highest order).  By using our spiritual connection we can backtrack to the spirit/energy universe to commune with the consciousness of others even if they have long since ceased a physical manifestation in this material plane.  Also by sheer force of will, and with the help of these energies, pocket manifestations are possible to create a place, and/or visit tangent axis throughout the cycle of time which does not exist in some universes, making it possible to choose where to re-manifest a consciousness either in times past or forward when passing through the veils/membranes of other universes.

These are exciting times when science finally begins to have an inkling of the 'lost' knowledge passed down through magickal work.  You begin to wonder if they are really just lost sciences mystified to prevent abuse?
