What should one do ? In the middle of the Way, an enormous wait. Not properly a Dark Night of the Soul, but certainly an oasis to breathe and to drink the tranquil water. Where will the Way lead ? Impossible to say. To search will not help. Waiting… There comes a time when there is just nothing else to do… What a curious sensation.

As we approach the Center of Being, trere is increasingly less to do. All Occult, Esoteric and Spiritual disciplines become unnecessary, and actually become more of a burden than of a help. O nearing of the Sphere. Feeling of gentle heat both emotional and physical. Is this the true Philosophical Egg? Nothing else to practice. Heat.

The point of transformation resides at the interior, and is beyond all practices. Practices are like signalings to the Soul that we intend the transformation. Once the message is well received and underlined, the process begins at its own time and rhythm, in the internal chambers of Being.

A child blessed by Gnosis. Jung's extraordinary experience as a child, as he resisted and finally let appear the forbidden thought of God's excrements falling down from His Throne on the shiny church roof and destroying it, on a beautiful sunny day with a clear blue sky. Also, the subterranean Phallus-King and the hidden little black man.
True wisdom consists in accepting Illumination, letting its progressive manifestation happen. Holy Gnosis, bless us and let us partake of Your Eternal Life and Your Communion of Saints.

Pitch dark. In the darkness, on a Moonless night in a deserted landscape, hearing only our own footsteps. Suddenly a huge voice echoes, imperative :
- WHAT IS THE NAME THAT CANNOT BE SAID ?
Frightened, we look around. No one. Again the voice :
- WHAT IS THE NAME THAT CANNOT BE SAID ??

Aleph. Terrible and devouring Fire. The world in flames. God of Abraham and Jacob, consume me. Calcinate me.

| Hermes. Just as a wardrobe was the bridge between the imaginal world of Narnia and our daily world in C. S. Lewis' novels, and just as the ego as the eye of consciousness is the bridge between the vast unconscious territory and the external world, in the same way C. G. Jung (1875-1961) was the generous bridge between our rich and vast Esoteric and Occult World and the conventional establishment of the profane world. Many of the profane sensed it, and consequently resisted Jung's work. To each time period its own Providential Mercury. |

Strange indeed are those spiritual doctrines that value exclusively Man's moral and luminous side. Man is afraid of his dark side. However we live and we are this very duality. We are the sons of the Sun and of the Night, of Light and of Darkness, and this completes us and makes us whole. Our moral ambivalence is fundamental to life and to our survival. We are good, we are evil, ascetics, hedonists, sorcerers and saints. And in this consists the very delight of being who we are.

An Ummite Qabalah. Can we change our mental paradigm and create a thinking devoid of objects, a thinking that focuses instead on process and function ?
The in-depth study of the Ummite language and the effective development of a system of tetravalent logics are of the highest and most urgent importance in order to exponentially amplify our knowledge of the physical Universe and its laws.
It's a return to Heraclitus, to a different way of thinking thay may be an important key to the deliverance of this planet. There is not much time left.

Spirituality is unrelated to morality or to moralism.

“The Dào of Taoism is not a dogma. It is a constant and relentless search, a life to be lived. It is to spend life searching, searching, searching. There are people who search for money, fame, power, there are those who search for neurosis, those who search madness, those who search for lost treasures, and there are those who search the truth of living each moment of their lives in a more truthful manner. We are always searching for something. Sometimes it can happen that we are dedicating ourselves to an illusory search. But if you are seriously searching for a spiritual path, you will strive to live life in a truthful way. This is to live life.”
Wu Jyh Cherng (1958-2004)

Feminine Mysteries are of the Earth. Masculine Mysteries are of Heaven.
There is indeed a difference between them. Mysteries of mestrual blood and of sperm are not the same as those of the Axial Constellation of the Bear (or Dipper).
It is like "High" and "Low" Magic. One complements the other, but each serves different Gods and aims.
Such is the spiritual richness of the Paths.

Freud used to say God was born inside Moses' head... and that the latter was actually not Jewish at all, but an Egyptian general....
I tend to believe more in Lao Tzu and in the Dao (Tao)... as it’s consistent with a Heraclitean take on life : life as flow. As to God, as one of the Greek Pre-Socratics said : "the world is full of Gods"...
That's one of the beautiful things about Afro-American traditions such as Santeria, Voudon, Candomble, Umbanda and others... it's in a sense the Greek world all over again (as Pierre Verger aptly noted)... Gods with human attributes and whims, different personalities, with faults and virtues...
And, besides.. the world is full of Gods !
