Annette, I am curious if these ideas are expressed by Kabbalah - I suspect they are. In the body, it is the level above the diaphram or heart chakra that a shift occurs, but the FORCE comes from below.Swami Rama said Freud's was the psychology of the first 2 chakras; Adler's of Muladhara - power; n Jung of the heart on up.......n they all were right at their level.Phew!loveao....

Thank You All:

I think I managed my way through most (although not all) of my quandry yesterday. Minor segue: the father of all this is En-Zu, also known as Sin, Calf of the Skies (Star and Crescent on the Middle Eastern flags), an ancient Babylonian "God." (The word: sin, ironically made by Church as something evil further burying the power of the mystery schools and the Feminine.)

Ishtar descends through seven layers of hell to retrieve the soul of Tammuz from Ereshkigal. The myths of Isis, Aphrodite, Venus, are later derivations and spins on this original myth. Both Aphrodite and Venus have feminine from feminine births ... this is the penultimate archetype of the femme, which to answer your question, Alice, is Binah, ruled by Neptune, the waters. And, yes, Cancer which births. The seven sephiroth below Binah are birthed by her from the seed of Chokmah (Pluto).

To return to Ishtar, she exemplifies the work required for the spirit to saturate the bodies. I.e., the spirit descends through our etheric, astral, chakras enlightening us literally, not figuratively. Our ability to accept spirit than is dependent on our purification on many levels, pure thought, meditation, pure body (spirit is forgiving because God knows I am not pure on many levels) but spirit continues its work as we continue ours.

So, the myth contains the keys required to attain enlightenment. The kabbalah is one such path and there are others but I have found that those spiritual traditions which I have studied all have the common thread that manifestation occurs: AEther > Air (thought) > Fire (creative) > Water (emotional) > Earth (physical). Now most traditions hide this true path by mixing up these five stages.

The above five stages are different than the seven enlightenment which are more easily described by the seven sephiroth of the kabbalah.

Most websites on the internet have the planets correctly assigned to all but the supernal triad. Most practitioners of the kabbalah have not successfully passed the Abyss to the Supernal Triad and so, cannot describe the energies at this level. But, Binah is Neptune, the birthing, the waters, divine love (this is an archetype which does not exist in reality on the planet, imho); Chokmah is the penultimate masculine and its energy is Pluto, power, seeding; and Uranus is Ket'er which is the pulsing stillpoint and Uranus.

Each Tree has at its apex Ket'er which is the Shekinah of the next Tree so that the trees stand on top of each other. Shekinah, Gaia, Sophia, is the Earth.

Have I managed clarity? (By the way, as I write doves have landed on my balcony there are two, we'll share <grin>.)

I am not now meditating and I find it very interesting to note the difference in the level of energy which gets communicated, lol. Pure thought and meditation are required to bring spirit into embodiment.

Did you know Jung studied with Steiner? And, Goethe was certainly a student of the mystery schools.

Love,

Annette
