Probably many of us, especially those who are actively involved in various projects, have experienced amazing events and synchronicities before any release
for example, before the release [of this project], I went on Facebook, which “gave out” a picture of a whale’s heart
after that, i went to the group, and wrote: “it seems our project has been spotted” lol
then a captain appeared in the group, with more questions about the project
this conversation took place with a friend about the Phoenix
a very special one
also i am glad you got a copy
i knew you would have appreciated it
I had to get it
it was my sole responsibility to receive it
without this copy i would be dead
The problem is that I was expected to compare the Phoenix and the Firebird (their energies and interactions with them).
this review probably should have been in that format
I will also say that I had a free day recently, I set aside my standard playlist and was going to spend the day with Phoenix to more clearly “analyze” this energy
But how to compare the incomparable?
Next, it got even more interesting.
I went to a specific forum, and immediately noticed one short recent post that strangely caught my attention
The above photo was taken by the author of the post at Notre Dame de Paris . As you know, the cathedral has been the spiritual center of one of the communities of the Hermetic Tradition for a number of centuries. Namely, the center of a unique School whose method of teaching and figurative expression of the Doctrine of the inner transformation of man was Alchemy
Notre Dame de Paris is literally imbued with an alchemical spirit and full of symbols with alchemical origins.
(If anyone is interested, you can read more about this in Fulcanelli’s The Mystery of Gothic Cathedrals.)
As the author of a post on another forum advised, “If you ever get to Notre Dame, or any other medieval cathedral in Europe with a connection to Tradition, don’t attach much importance to the inscriptions for tourists - they are often only misleading. Try to make contact with the power of this place - it works unmistakably.”
at the base of the sculpture sits the Dragon, a winged Serpent symbolizing primary matter undergoing alchemical transformation. Above him are the figures of the twelve apostles of Christ, the twelve basic characteristics or states which may be seen as a symbol of the twelve stages of the alchemical process
still above are four figures - they are not very visible in the photograph, so I will describe them. They are the heads of the Lion, the Bull, the Eagle and the Angel, the so-called Four Living Creatures of the New Testament
And finally, at the top of the sculpture is a figure of an eagle (maybe the Phoenix?) spreading its wings - a symbol of the elixir, the philosopher’s stone, the result of the Alchemist’s inner work
And here is an even more ancient sculpture from the Louvre ( the famous so-called winged bull from Assyria). Such figures stood at temple entrances, and even at city gates - they were symbolic (and actual) protectors and guardians of the city’s subtle energy.
interestingly, it has five legs - that is, if viewed from the side, it appears to be moving, but if viewed from the front, it appears to be standing motionless. The guardian is on the move and motionless at the same time. An ingenious means of conveying the idea that something exists both in time and out of time
But that’s not the point now. Now I just want to draw attention to the fact that the guardians had the features of several living beings - the head of a Lion, the body of a Bull, the wings of an Eagle and the face of an Angel (the horns above the head in ancient Mesopotamia were depicted only as a sign of heavenly or holy beings - similar to the nimbus of saints in medieval art). Thus, they were Perfect Beings, synthesizing the qualities symbolized by the three animals - the strength and tenacity of the Bull, the passion and fearlessness of the Lion, and the sharpness and vision of the Eagle.
In that post, the author cites a third image
This leaflet, described by P.D. Uspensky in “In Search of the Miraculous” (these are the notes of a student of Gurdjieff, recorded between 1916 and 1924)
The photo is of very poor quality - but unfortunately I have no other, so I will describe what is depicted there.
In the center is a circle formed by an ouroboros - a serpent biting its own tail - the symbol of any cyclical process
Inside the circle is the enneagram (as Uspensky shows it in his book). I have not read this book, and I try to simply interpret the information based on what I have read, and based on some of the conclusions of the author of the post himself
At the vertices of the triangle 3-6-9 in the enneagram are three New Testament Living Beings-Lion (point 3), Bull (point 6), Eagle (point 9).
In a sense, we can perceive them as an expression of the three powers in man - feelings (emotions), sensations (body), and mind (intellect)
Only the wings and a little bit of the head are visible from the Eagle, because it is obscured by the face of the Angel, the fourth Living Being. To the right and left of the circle are symbols of the two opposing forces in nature and in man - the Devil and the Archangel (perhaps Lucifer and Michael the Archangel?) - which is entertaining, however, both with wings.
The Lion and the Bull in the enneagram are also depicted in poses of confrontation, as if they were facing each other
The Eagle is between them in a counterbalancing position. All three Living Beings, on the other hand, are depicted as if they were all parts of the Angel. It is as if the Angel embraces, absorbs all the others. If it were possible to place the image not on a plane, but in three-dimensional space, the Angel would be the vertex of a tetrahedron, situated in a plane above the other three points, but equally connected with all of them.
I don’t know about you, but this is how I understood it:
“The three Living Beings, being in the right ratio, give rise to a fourth, the Angel, containing all three, but being none of them.”
Or so: “The Three Forces, harmonized in the right way and engaged at the right time, give rise to the result, the synthesis of the Three Forces - One.”
How to conceptualize and summarize all this I don’t know
but yesterday, here we were talking about the alchemy of Captain
it all seems to be directly related to the Phoenix.
sorry for possible inaccuracies in the information, but I had to share
this is not really a review, there are few personal “feelings” in this post
but I want to believe that this is important information
if there is a desire, and additional information - it will be cool if you correct this info and share your personal view on what has been described
it would be worthy of a separate project if not for the Phoenix, but it probably doesn’t matter now
it’s all here
