Book Description
The readers of this book will have access to secret knowledge that has never been published before. This book explains how "the ascension to the stars" happens from the point of view of initiatory astrology, that is, how to choose and use certain astrological moments for the operations of the ascent of the planes. The aim is to delineate a Stellar Way for the "ascent to Heaven" up to the Supreme State, or at least to learn how to progressively bring the consciousness to higher levels with the help of certain "star maps" that we will learn to create, interpret and revive in our Microcosm. In fact, it is possible to transpose on the Celestial Sphere the traditional teachings about the higher states of being. The influence of the various parts of Heaven that colors the stars differently according to the various phases of their precessional cycle is one of the important things which is entirely unknown to modern astrologers, and was known only to the initiates of the most remote antiquity. It confirms the existence of a "secret" initiatory astrology, very different and much more useful and profound than that commonly practiced. The ascension to the higher states of being - up to the Supreme State - can take place only along the lines of the colures. This supreme state is represented by the point of intersection between the two colures, represented by the North Pole. As we will see in the course of the book, in order for this ascension to take place, it is necessary that there are stars along the colures, corresponding to various states of being that are like so many stations that one must pass through. At the same time, they are similar to vehicles that can transport us higher and higher. The higher the northern declination of the stars, the higher the state of being they represent, not because of their own nature, but because of the part of Heaven in which they are located The more one rises along the northern sky, the more one enters into a subtle and etheric dimension, which, precisely for this reason, can be inaccessible or traumatic for those who are not ready to get rid of the ego and the sense of corporeality. These ascensions also require the presence of one or more planets along the colures themselves. In fact, our first means of transport to detach ourselves from the earth will surely be one or more planets, since we cannot directly identify ourselves with the very high state of consciousness corresponding to a star. We will talk about all this in a very technical and in-depth way, including some examples. And we will do so after demonstrating how these particular stellar factors were well present and active in the periods when the greatest turning points in the history of human spirituality occurred. We shall thus examine the stars of the Buddha and those of Pythagoras, of Moses and Jesus, and much more. There are many clues that suggest that in the Commedia Dante described in the allegorical form a "stellar journey" very similar to the one we describe in this work. It is no coincidence that Dante concludes each cantica with the word "stars," and it is no coincidence that the last verse of each cantica is isolated, in the sense that it is not part of a triplet like all the others. All this must have a precise meaning because a medieval and sapiential poet like Dante did not do anything by chance or for simply "poetic" reasons. It is likely that Dante had access to initiatory knowledge about some traditional techniques of ascension to Heaven through the stars, and that is why he included in his poem so many references to the stars, closing each poem with an isolated verse ending with the word "stars". In Dante's time, the North Star was located on the equinoctial colure, and it is from the North Star that we will start to discover this secret message…

ANCIENT EGYPT, JERUSALEM AND THE STARS ARCHAEOASTRONOMICAL EVIDENCE OF A SECRET SACRED ASTRONOMY
Author: GIACOMO ALBANO
Publisher: WWW.ASTROLOGIAPREVISIONALE.NET
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Examining the astronomical alignments of the main Egyptian monuments, the author shows that almost none of them is oriented to the rise or set of Sirius or Orion at the time of construction. How is it possible? The reader will discover that in reality all are oriented in some way to the rising points of the stars of Orion or Sirius when they were in the extreme phases of their cycle. Since there is not only one of the most important Egyptian monuments that escapes this rule of orientation, it is evident that it was the true "secret" technique behind these choices. Being a specialist in stellar astrology, in the last part of the book the author shows how these "stellar mechanisms" have worked well beyond the field of Archaeoastronomy. He illustrates the most important encadrement by declination - active for thousands of years and still active - involving some of the brightest stars in the firmament. We will see how and why Giza and Jerusalem been the places where it has most strongly manifested the greatest effects in the field of sacred and religions, albeit in different ways and for different reasons. The truth is that the Sacred Astronomy practiced by the Egyptians is completely unknown to contemporary scholars. Moreover it was not a simple belief or superstition of that people. It is the Supreme Science that describes how the cosmos really works, and not only for the events of sacred history. The Egyptian priests and initiates probably derived this knowledge from a tradition dating back to the dawn of time. Since these stellar configurations regulate not only the most important events of sacred and prophane history, but also the places the events that occur, their knowledge may open new scenarios for human knowledge, far superior and far more "radical" of the much acclaimed scientific discoveries that are not able to identify the primary and occult causes of events, nor to reveal the Mystery that surrounds our existence.

Publisher: Llewellyn Worldwide
ISBN: 0738708933
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
Advancing to higher levels of ritual magic with purpose and power requires an exaltation of consciousness-a spiritual transformation that can serve as an antitode to the seeming banality of modern life.

Man and His Symbols
Author: Carl G. Jung
Publisher: Bantam
ISBN: 0307800555
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
The landmark text about the inner workings of the unconscious mind—from the symbolism that unlocks the meaning of our dreams to their effect on our waking lives and artistic impulses—featuring more than a hundred images that break down Carl Jung’s revolutionary ideas “What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society.”—The Guardian “Our psyche is part of nature, and its enigma is limitless.” Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to shape our lives? There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life’s work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world just as vital and true a part of the mind as the conscious, and it is in our dreams—those personal, integral expressions of our deepest selves—that it communicates itself to us. A seminal text written explicitly for the general reader, Man and His Symbolsis a guide to understanding the symbols in our dreams and using that knowledge to build fuller, more receptive lives. Full of fascinating case studies and examples pulled from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more, this groundbreaking work—profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples—offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. By illuminating the means to examine our prejudices, interpret psychological meanings, break free of our influences, and recenter our individuality, Man and His Symbols proves to be—decades after its conception—a revelatory, absorbing, and relevant experience.

Sirius
Author: Jay B. Holberg
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 038748941X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
This book tells two stories. The first and most obvious is why the star known as Sirius has been regarded as an important fixture of the night sky by many civilizations and cultures since the beginnings of history. A second, but related, narrative is the prominent part that Sirius has played in how we came to achieve our current scientific understanding of the nature and fate of the stars. This is the first book to integrate the cultural history of Sirius with modern astrophysics in a way which provides a realistic view of how science progresses over time.

The Way of Tarot
Author: Alejandro Jodorowsky
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1594776563
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 493
Book Description
Filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky’s insights into the Tarot as a spiritual path • Works with the original Marseille Tarot to reveal the roots of Western wisdom • Provides the key to the symbolic language of the Tarot’s “nomadic cathedral” • Transforms a simple divination tool into a vehicle for self-realization and healing Alejandro Jodorowsky’s profound study of the Tarot, which began in the early 1950s, reveals it to be far more than a simple divination device. The Tarot is first and foremost a powerful instrument of self-knowledge and a representation of the structure of the soul. The Way of Tarot shows that the entire deck is structured like a temple, or a mandala, which is both an image of the world and a representation of the divine. The authors use the sacred art of the original Marseille Tarot--created during a time of religious tolerance in the 11th century--to reconnect with the roots of the Tarot’s Western esoteric wisdom. They explain that the Tarot is a “nomadic cathedral” whose parts--the 78 cards or “arcana”--should always be viewed with an awareness of the whole structure. This understanding is essential to fully grasp the Tarot’s hermetic symbolism. The authors explore the secret associations behind the hierarchy of the cards and the correspondences between the suits and energies within human beings. Each description of the Major Arcana includes key word summaries, symbolic meanings, traditional interpretations, and a section where the card speaks for itself. Jodorowsky and Costa then take the art of reading the Tarot to a depth never before possible. Using their work with Tarology, a new psychological approach that uses the symbolism and optical language of the Tarot to create a mirror image of the personality, they offer a powerful tool for self-realization, creativity, and healing.
