The Great Universal Mystery By Scot Rhoads The World Tree Upper World: Balance of Sky Father & Earth Mother
Middle World: Male/Mind/Spirit
Lower World: Female/Body/Heart The Self Upper Self: balance of God and Goddess
Middle Self: Male/Mind/Spirit
Lower Self: Female/Body/Heart (This is absolutely not any form of hierarchy!) As you can see the World Tree and the Self are one. When the Old Tribes of Germany and Scandinavia said that the People came from Trees, they knew what they were talking about! The infinite entirety of all things, often called the Universe or God, is the ALL. The ALL is made up of its parts (i.e., the Worlds/Selves, etc.). Thus, the parts are the whole of the ALL. The ALL coordinates its parts in order to perpetuate itself forever through what we call cycles. All the parts/worlds/selves have three things in common: energy, shadow and a channel. Energy is ALL. ALL is energy. ALL physical matter is simply energy in concentrated form. Physical matter can be reduced to pure energy then reconcentrated into a different physical form (i.e., healing, transmutation, elf-flight, etc.). This is done via will and imagery. Shadow is the intermeshing of ALL energy, pure or concentrated. The Channel is the streaming of energy from one concentration to another. This stream carries impulses that we perceive as communication. This includes telepathy, verbal communication, suggestion and so forth. These impulses are called vibration in Hermetic magick. Channeling can thus be used for all psychic pursuits, as well as invocation and banishment. Channeling/communicating causes energy impulses to concentrate on varying levels, many of which we consider physical or manifest. Thus we can call entities into formation/manifestation—i.e., create. The Crystal Tree System is an excellent channeling/communication focus for any of these purposes. ALL is energy. Energy is immortal. ALL is immortal. We are ALL. We are immortal. The Elves know. The Self is One with the World We are Immortal! |
