Atlantean Reminiscences

" Now in this island of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the whole island and several others, and over parts of the continent, and, furthermore, the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within the columns of Heracles as far as Egypt, and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia."~Plato

Part of this path has to do with the teachings and ways of Atlantis. This is an important point to be mindful of because by studying Atlantis, and in particular the teachings, we find an almost untouched body of wisdom to use. While many have added to them over the years, we can easily recall our minds to the core teachings from Atlantis. 

Interestingly enough, though, we already know a lot of these teachings, as they have been perpetuated throughout the years through various belief systems such as ancient Egyptian concepts as well as ancient Greece. Thus when we look at it, we find ourselves at the roots of the Greco-Egyptian trunk that grew a branch called Hermetics. Yes, Hermetics existed before then, but in a much different fashion. In this we see that when Atlantis was at it's height, these teachings would have spread to the countries that were conquered. While we may not have access to the teachings directly and objectively, we do have their remnants available to us for our study. 

I bring this point to your attention because it adds a certain ceremony to things. By familiarizing ourselves with these teachings we add another layer to our work, and when we do that, we make it more ours. The beginning point to start with is the "Emerald Tablets of Thoth." At least one author, Doreal, adds "the Atlantean" at the end of the above phrase. This is applicable to our work because it tells us that the potential is there that some of the ancient Egyptian deities and teachings may have come from Atlantis. 

I encourage you to explore this territory and to discover the pearls of wisdom that lie in wait.

Et Quaerite Purificatio

"A mighty flame followeth a tiny spark."~Dante Alighieri

This is the path of the ascent of flames. As we walk this intense road, we find ourselves enflamed, and through this, ignited on our path more vehemently than if the flame never existed. It is wise to keep this in mind because there are those that tread this path that are going through the motions as if on autopilot, and because of this, we can never safely assume that another is enflamed as we are.

However, besides the internal flame there are the flames that we find ourselves surrounded by, and these flames are the ones of purification. That is one of the things that separates this path from many others. True, other paths have flames of purification, but they pale in comparison to what is found here. I know this from my own personal experience. Geburic in nature, these flames burn away the dross and iniquities and leave us with the distilled essence of the self and it's ego. It can be a very humbling path, and through this humility we may find inner strength on a level that has not been seen before.

How do we identify these flames? The answer to this is simple metaphysics. Whatever it is that gets our emotions riled up could be considered a flame. For example, when we actively move forward on this path, we may find that a long standing issue or situation comes back in full force. When we control our emotions, we discover that what is really occurring is that now we are in a position to do something about it in a way that we weren't ready for previously. We find that we are stripped of things that are superfluous, and really that act against us, for they divide our energies, or alternatively could be seen as kinks in our spiritual armor.

During this time, I encourage everyone to count their flames, and to assess their situation. Where are we in most need of purification? Yes, we can guide these flames, and thus do something about the situations before they become inflamed. When we learn how to spot the spark, we can gain better control over the ascent of our path. Why should we even consider this? Well, Lucifer's kingdom is the kingdom of flames, and because of this when we choose to address the flames we send the message to his consciousness that we get it. Hence in the long run we become more like him.

Ave and Hails!

“That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.” ~HP Lovecraft


We find ourselves at the beginning of a new calendar year, and with this event comes an opportune time to assess where we choose to go from here. Where have I come from? Where do I choose to go? If you are familiar with the Christian version of Lucifer, then you can easily tell that these were questions Lucifer asked himself once he attained freedom and equality. Hence this approach is completely in line with the current that we enjoy partaking in, my friends. 

So, what are your answers to these questions? I know mine. Let's also play devil's advocate for a moment, and say "who cares?" Well, if that is your attitude, then it would be wise to develop the skill of reflection, and then develop the skill of foresight. By asking these and similar questions we hone the edge of our swords (our mind), which is a tool that is constantly with us, and constantly being used.

As this current has developed through the years, it has been heavily fed through emotions, but there is a mental side to it as well. Actually, the current itself has at least six planes associated with it, to use a rough, easy to understand number. So if we're not engaging it on all planes, then we're not receiving the full grasp of what it has to offer. 

I encourage everyone to reflect on where they're at when it comes to understanding and working with this idea of Luciferian consciousness to formulate the upcoming calendar year.
