| RE: Transcription Error and Curious Manuscript Omissions |
| Exoteric comment: Invisible forces abound in a metaphysical paradigm, therefore superficial symbolism, idiograms, and lexicons will serve no useful purpose when work relating to almost all mystical literature is required. For best results, know the answer before you ask the question. If you are expecting to read an article that de-mystifies the mystical, the following text will be of no use to you. |
| Transcription and translation errors are conceded in editions of The Greater and Lesser Keys (of Solomon). The precise names and words are unspecified permitting the blinds that metaphysical writers use so it is possible for them to catch neophytes in the sieve. Original manuscripts turned to dust long ago. Christianity began its legal status after 300 AD. Prevalent religious themes of the day were reworded to allow the Christian players effective moves, once they re-positioned themselves on new turf. |
| Common themes at that time were the Roman lion-headed god, Atlas and the hero cults associated with celestial movements during the year and in the aeons macrocosmic time table. Many metaphysical formulae was placed in 'safty deposit boxes' once the Christians began to persecute others the way they had been pursued by Rome. Such an example would be the symbolism Trump X The Wheel (Divine Providence) conceals the keys of the vision of Ezekiel. The Book of Revelations, the last book in the New Testament is filled out by such inclusions from an earlier period in history. |
| Legend has it Arthur lived during that time, may have been central in English history as a warlord-hero-god, agricultural god who became a warlord, and the object of a cult as were other heroes during that period in history. Mention is made of the historic Arthur's army connected with the descent into Annwn. |
| Traditional evidence of the Mithraic cult as also competitive with the Christian religion, up to around the 5th Century, ran parallel to these. |
| Lewis Spence writes, "The Caer Wydr" was Arthur's vessel of glass constructed for the especial purpose of the exploration of Annwn, and the bard says that he, will not have merit with the multitude in relating the hero's deeds, because they could not see his prowess after he had entered Caer Wydr, or the "place" or vessel of glass. |
| Merlin made a similar voyage in a similar ship or diving-bell, as did Alexander the Great, and indeed the latter story is mentioned by Taliesin. The allusion to "the brindled ox with his headband" is obviously the sacred beast which figured in all such mysteries, the Osirian and the Mithraic as well as the British, the White Bull of the Sun. The place-names which conclude most of the stanzas appear to have reference to various regions in Annwn." |
| This textbook classic could be the video script for the "MOST HIGH" visuals in 1998, for the hit single from the second CD during the Page and Plant reunion, WALKING INTO CLARKSDALE. Several of these compelling tunes are from traditional alchemical precepts. Perhaps the collection is deemed "too high" and above the level of the viewing audience in the eyes of VH1 and MTV producers. Regardless of complaints from LedHeads no one was listening to requests for this extraordinary video. |
| Regardless of the coveted award as Best Rock Performance at the Grammies, 'Most High' as video air time is a simple wish and a prayer for the huge Page and Plant audience. |
| It appears the market/opinion polls indicate the concentration and focus required for appreciation of this subject is outside the range of the modern viewer. Some people suggest the target age for the audience is the fourth grade level, that would definitely remove the 'Most High' video and any discussion of the topic of transcription verification off the TV and probably off list for most professors in the university spheres. It is mysterious that, with this obvious lack of interest in authentic language and gematria topic, "Intelligence" groups have claimed such an intricate knowledge of this very complex subject. Where could they have made the very detailed and in depth study required to claim they are without error in their opinions?? |
| The way metaphysical information reveals itself through the entertainment and publication industry has always had an unusual twist, or a sting to it. This is true in Hollywood and in other mediums, and certainly in the music field when you can view an actual alchemical theme that is on tape for the public in a promotional effort but 4 or 5 times in an entire year, yet the song wins for Best Performance of a Rock Song during its whole year of playtime. It's a sign if the times! |
| This situation in particular seems typical, yet should be more public in the degree of protest since everyone knows of it. So as we enter the 'Age of Enlightenment' there are still omissions, blurred detail, and misstatements for the collective conscious to discover, set aright, and synthesize. Since we have the internet now, perhaps we can finally put this excuse for harassment of mystics, saints and the metaphysical community to rest. The harmony of nature we want nests in the heart and no one else knows what resides there other than The Absolute. When Thelema was purchased, all the walls were restored. Most of the original art forms revealed likeness of flowers, nature generally, and the type of surrealistic dreamscapes we would ascribe to the likes of Klee, Dali, and Miro. People were shocked but not in the way they had expected to be surprised. Many of the art forms were like those someone using non-dominant hand techniques (release of the inner child via spontaneous nature) would employ. |
| Someone, eventually, will educate the general public; till that day, Baphomet will continue to cause the type of trouble he is supposed to represent, not because his status is valid but more honestly as an excuse for those who dwell on negativity. For example, how many people know the number 666 is the Qaballistic value of Jesus Christ and of man, and of The Beast? Serious, thorough research and background for the overworked 666 seldom appears in print. |
| Mark Twain's translation of testimony provided the Vatican in Rome by St. Joan's page and secretary proves a classic example of injustices caused when errors are left for public interpretation. Read about her life and decide for yourself whether her torture and death is adequately portrayed by today's Hollywood. Joan of Arc was convicted of conversing with inhabitants of the infernal regions that do not exist. The political and religious pressures (there were three popes in Western Christianity and one of the Eastern Orthydox) typical of her time dominated her trial. Because Joan's whole village was loyal to the Pope in Rome her fate was sealed and there was no chance for her ransom. |
| Another type of example related to these confusing circumstances, culled from Manly P. Hall's FREEMASONRY OF THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS (Philosophical Research Society, Inc., Los Angeles, California) Notes from the Chapter about the Seventh Grade read as follows: SEVENTH GRADE - PROPHET OR SAPHENATH PANCAH. (The man who knows the Mysteries - Jamblicque De Mysteriis AEgypt.) This grade was the last and most eminent. In it they gave a detailed and most complete explanation of all the Mysteries. The Astronomer could not obtain this degree, which established his aptitude in all the functions, public and politic, without the assent of the King and Demiurgos; and at the same time the general consent of the inner members of the Society. The reception was followed by a public procession to which they gave the name of Pamylach (Oris circumcisio - circumcision of the tongue). [This would seem to be a figurative expression, by which they wished to say that the Neophyte had acquired all knowledge which they could give him - his tongue was acute, and he was permitted to speak of all knowledge.]* |
| The footnote about the speculation: * This is probably a note of the French Brother, who translated the work from the German. It is more probable that the circumcision was real and not figurative. The Hindu practitioner of Hathi Yoge has the tongue cut loose at the underside to enable him to insert the end in the gullet, and so stop breathing. - J.Y. |
| FYI (Additional hero noted on this topic) Thomas Paine in a pamphlet mentions researches he made into the origin of Freemasonry into the habits and practices of the Druids. Other writers contend that Freemasonry had its origin among the rites practiced in the Pyramids. It would appear that the presence of Freemasonic symbolism among so many different peoples points to a common origin of the symbols, the doctrine, and the interpretation. |
