Birthday, Full Moon Day -- Calendar April 30, 2018

Hi -

Before 6 a.m., today, my birthday, I took this photo of the Moon. I took the photo in the Mercury hour.

Notice on the left of the photo that there is a star next to the Moon. I've taken plenty of photos of the Moon and never got one with a star in the photo. Also, striking that it's on the left side of the Moon. I'm left handed, y'all.

Love and gratitude extends to SOURCE, Most High for this priceless birthday message.

P.S. Since I've become metaphysical, this is the first full Moon season that I've recognized to be on my birthday. I was born on Moon day, Monday, too. :)

Update:

Ooh, ooh, y'all, I looked it up. That's not a star. It's Jupiter.

Excerpt from article:

"These next several evenings – April 28-30, 2018 – watch for a brilliant “star” close to the very bright moon. It's no star at all, but the giant planet Jupiter, largest world in our solar system. The April 29 full moon will be close to Jupiter, and the April 30 moon even closer. With or without the moon, you'll find Jupiter climbing into ..."

Meditation is Vital

To Whom It Concerns:

If you believe that you can successfully and effectively navigate metaphysically without daily meditation -- you're lying to yourself.

Meditation is foundational in the mix of mastering and having deep impact in the occult arena . . . . For folks sincerely committed . . . daily meditation isn't an option -- it's a necessity. When we meditate -- solutions, creative ideas, empowering messages, etc are downloaded into us.

Do I ever miss daily meditation --1/2 hour twice daily -- once when it's dark outside and once when it's daylight? VERY rarely -- months ago, I was sternly warned to stop skipping my 1/2 hours of meditating when it's dark outside. I took the warning very seriously . . . .

I do daylight and night time meditation because we are composed of light and dark energy.  Darkness was here before light appeared.  Darkness meditation can be done WHENEVER it's dark outside -- 9:30 p.m., 10 p.m., 3 a.m., 5 a.m. -- ANY TIME WHEN it's dark outside. 

Due to street lights, etc., I do my darkness -- with my EYES OPEN -- meditation in the bathroom where I gain COMPLETE  darkness.  My darkness meditation with my EYES CLOSED is done typically in my bedroom.

You can have a boatload of crystals and other magickal accessories, but the foundation of meditation is ESSENTIAL . . .

Meditation transforms, among other deeply beneficial things that it does . . .

###

Folks are deceived who believe that meditation is demonic. It certainly isn't evil.

###

There is no right or wrong way to meditate. Folks need to find what works for you uniquely. Some people meditate sitting lotus style, some use music, some chant, some folks meditate lying down, etc.
Me, I typically meditate lying down with crystals laying on me holding a crystal in each hand. I use music sometimes; other times I prefer silence.

For those who are concerned about dozing off when you meditate -- I set a timer when I engage in meditation . . .

The Importance of Symbols

Sacred Geometry -- Peace Sign, Etc.

VERY Interesting

https://intellectualrevolutionist.wordpress.com/tag/fruit-of-life-symbol/

Sacred Geometry Explained

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx31y1KKK3E


For those inclined, I HIGHLY recommend DAILY doing the subject ritual. I got the info from Oshiri Isaa on FB.

THE LBRP.... Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram
The lower banishing ritual of the pentagram (LBRP) is an ancient technique that was popularized by Western occultists, even though its origin is far more primeval.

It uses the potent efficacy of the pentagram to clean the astral and ethereal body, while providing auric protection.

It can be found in Israel Regardie's book "The Tree of Life".

It invokes the four chief powers of creation around the personal space of the theurgist.

I can tell you from personal practice that it's a simple but very powerful daily ritual to incorporate into your life.

It is well known that the pentagram is the most powerful symbol because it holds the cipher to a superior spiritual entity. It is the dark ether operating through the four elements or four principles. The human body is a pentagram, once you stand feet apart with arms outstretched.

There is a reason five is prominent in the human body, five fingers, five toes, five holes in your face...etc.

The LBRP is simple and powerful, and will open your psychic sensibilities.

There is of course a deeper cypher that will be disclosed only upon advancement...

But the basic form as it is expressed in the book is a worthy start and will yield results.

March 1, 2018

Read the book, “Tree of Life”...it's all in there...

The LBRP is the most popular formula for using the pentagram...
However it is used to invoke, evoke and banish spirits.
Geometric shapes are sound signatures of spiritual entities.
The pentagram is the most powerful.

March 3, 2018 -- From Oshiri

Learn to trace the pentagram, first with your fingers, then with your power of visualization.

Perfect this visual tracing of the pentagram because it is used to neutralize psychic attack.

Visualize it as a blazing bright star... surrounding you or projected at a target.

Mental tracing of geometric shapes is high magic and very powerful.

A link about the LBRP is below.  For those inclined, I have it in typed form.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvpmcOtynM0

YouTube Video – “How to Perform the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram,” by E. A. Koetting

● Enter meditative state until you feel . . .

● Turn attention to breathing.

● Imagine yourself growing larger and larger – your spiritual body expanding beyond your home – larger than your city, larger than the earth until you find yourself looking over all of creation as if you have become the creator.  The essence you want to connect with here is that of omniscience . You want to feel as if you can pluck the earth out of its orbit and hold it in your hands.  

● Notice that even though you’re centered in existence and stand above creation that there’s a brilliant light above you which is the power and presence of divinity floating above your head like a cloud of light.  Reach the dagger up into that cloud and pull the light down with it as you touch the tip of the dagger to your forehead.

Vibrate in saying the word ATAH, which means, “Unto thee”

Bring dagger to center of chest.
Vibrate in saying the word, MALKUTH, which means, “the kingdom”

Bring dagger to right shoulder
Vibrate in saying the word, VE’GEBURAH, which means, “and the power”

Bring dagger to left shoulder
Vibrate in saying, “VE’GEDULAH, which means, “and the glory”

Bring dagger to center of chest
Vibrate in saying the word, “LAY OLAM, AMEN, which means, “forever and ever”

Face East
Trace (in the air) a Pentagram with your dagger

● Visualize the Pentagram glowing with blue energy floating in the air. 

● Fully activate the Pentagram by thrusting the dagger through the center of it and vibrating the god name

YOD  HE  VAV  HE

● Step back to the center of the circle and give the sign of silence by placing your index finger over your lips.

Turn South pulling the energy of the eastern star with you, trailing a line of fiery power from the east to the south

Draw (in the air) Pentagram again, thrusting the dagger through it, and vibrate the name ADONAI

Return to the center of the circle and give the sign of silence by placing your index finger over your lips. 

Turn West continuing to pull the energy with you.

Again, draw (in the air) the Pentagram before you, thrusting the dagger into the center and vibrating the god name EHEIEH

Give sign of silence by placing your index finger over your lips.

Turn North
Draw (in the air) the Pentagram, thrust dagger through the center

Vibrate god name AGLA

Return to the east and in your magical imagination, visualize the Pentagram around you connected by fiery energy forming a circle around you.  Extend your arms out to your sides forming your body into the shape of the cross symbolic of the union between the physical and spiritual.

Call out:

“Before me, RAPHAEL”

“Behind me, GABRIEL”

“On my right hand, “MICHAEL”

“On my left hand, “AURIEL”

“Around me burns the Pentagram and within me shines the 6^th great star.”

***

Lesser Banishing Pentagram Ritual (LBPR) can be performed before and after any ritual as well as at any point where you need to center and ground yourselves or banish unwanted forces. 

Once you make initial contact, not only will you be able to call them forth with a more solid presence each time you call them, but you’ll also find that you can begin to eliminate redundancy in your rituals.  In other words, it’s essential to understand that none of the spiritual phenomena is being generated by the ritual dagger, by the divine names or by anything other than yourself.  You’re creating the lines of the Pentagram as well as the circle of power around you.  You’re even creating the manifest forms of the arch angels as you structure them in each corner and call their names.

What you’re doing her is not praying to a divine figure to make these things happen – but instead you’re literally becoming a living god and commanding reality to obey you.

***

My, Sandra’s, notes about the video content:

I didn’t use a dagger; I used an Athame.  But a regular knife can be used, as well.

That brief, relevant YouTube video is, in my opinion, to the point and yet, comprehensive.  I really like it.

For folks who are committed, in earnest, to evolving metaphysically, I HIGHLY recommend the subject ritual -- the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP).  So far, I've done it for three days and already have noticed ascension within.  I don't do precisely as he mentions in the video as far as the WORDING in who he instructs to call out to.  I call on my righteous,  transitioned relatives and my ancestors, etc.  I mix it up.  Today, I called out to my mother, grandmother, High John the Conqueror and Nelson Mandela.  So, as I'm guided within, I'll call on the assorted subject spirits. Tomorrow, when I do the Pentagram ritual, I’ll likely call on spirits other than who I called on today . . . or maybe I’ll call on some of the same spirits as I did today as today but add different ones, too.  It all depends on the moments . . . as guided within.

One exception is, when he, in the subject video, calls on four arch angels.  I keep that aspect intact and call on those same arch angels.

Also, I added a few additional steps as far as movements, beyond what he does in the video.

Metatron's Cube = Sacred Geometry

Metatron's Cube

Ref: The Geometric Cube Shown Here, commonly known as Metatron's Cube

Descriptive info -- used by permission. Expressed today, Sunday April 15, 2018, by Oshiri Isaa on FB:

"It's a formula...

"It existed before the name Metatron. It is an understanding of the force of creation within this realm.

"It is tied to squaring the circle and the golden mean.

"Yes...the rate of vibration and emanation. The song of the angels. The vortex formula.

"The rate at which spirit emerges into the physical.

"It is encoded in all things and can be applied to magic with serious effects..."

***

The Metatron Cube cloth can be purchased from Amazon. Be aware though, that they advertise a BLACK one that I learned, thanks to Osiri Issa and separate research that I did -- ISN'T Metatron's cube. I purchased the correct one that is off white in color -- shown in photo here.

From Jay Willy on FB today, as well:

Metatron is the Greek corruption of the name MATATRUN, the correct spelling. He is not only an Archangel, he is one of the 24 Elders. He is number 11. Matatrun’s Cube consists of the five platonic shapes: The Tetrahedron, Hexahedron, Octohedron, Icosahedron,& The Dodecahedron. Which represents Earth,Wind,Fire,Water,& Ether. All things in creation can be created based on the formula of Matatrun’s Cube. In the very center of Matatrun’s Cube is the Santa Sanctum: “The Holy Of Holies”. The Flower Of Life.

Jay Willy Yes & yes. The Holy Tablets Chapter 11. Speaks about Matatrun. Also about his contact with Adafa AKA Enoch. Matatrun also holds the secrets to Life & Death, which he initiated Enoch into. There should be an online link to The Holy Tablets and the 11th Chapter will breakdown his story.

Om Mani Padme Hum. It means the Jewel is in the Lotus. It means the Lotus Sutra is specifically of the highest importance and in that Sutra alone is it explained that all things possess inherent Buddha Nature or have potential for Enlightenment. The Sutra itself is the embodiment of the Mystic Law based on Cause and Effect.
