The Kybalion And The 7 Hermetic Principles

THE KYBALION

Have you read the Kybalion?

It was life changing when I found it a few years ago. Reading and working with the Kybalion was a catalyst for my greater awakening and really helped me make sense of my life. I felt led to create a post about the topic.

The Kybalion is a magical book that serves as a catalyst for initiation into higher realms of knowledge. For thousands of years, the Hermetic Principles have been guarded and taught by initiates and adepts in the world’s mystery schools. In the early 1900s, a book called “The Kybalion” appeared on the scene, authored by a mysterious “Three Initiates”.

The “Three Initiates” is most likely a pen-name used by William Walker Atkinson, a prolific writer and leader of the “New Thought Movement”. Regardless of its author, the Kybalion serves as the most concise teaching of the 7 Hermetic Principles that have been passed down since the earliest days of Egypt and Samaria.

The 7 Hermetic Principles are as follows:

Mentalism — “The All is mind”. The universe is mental and the foundational element of reality is some sort of mental force… Quantum physics is beginning to find this to be true but it is what Hermetic philosophers have preached since Egypt.

Correspondence — “As above, so below”. The same laws apply at every level of reality… At each of the different “planes of correspondence”, we find different beings but they are just manifestations of ourselves here on the physical plane. By understanding how to create mentally, we can influence our world by emanating out what is inside of yourself. In this way, your inner world creates your outer experience BECAUSE the principle of correspondence allows it to be so.

Vibration — Everything vibrates. We all emit a wavelength or pulse that can be amplified. This is the key to what the Kybalion calls “the scepter of power” and allows the individual to influence their world through understanding vibration, frequency, and amplification.

Polarity — All of reality has two poles. “All truths are half truths”. All of life exists along two poles… There are no “good” or “bad” emotions, there is only feeling with different poles. Love can be transmuted into hate and vice versa… Fear into courage… Anxiety into excitement. The Hermetic student can learn to polarize themselves at the desired state and learn to control their emotions.

Rhythm — Everything flows in and out, like a pendulum. By raising in consciousness above the local energetic environment, the student can avoid the backwards swing of the pendulum along the pole between two opposites. By doing so, a person can learn to change their state at will and avoid influence from outside energies that might bring them back to where they started.

Causation — All of nature is the result of causes. Inside of your reality, you are either a cause or an effect. There is no coincidence. By mastering the Hermetic principles and choosing to create your reality, you become a cause. Instead of being constantly affected by your world, you become the force of energy that influences the world.

Gender — There is masculine and feminine at all levels of reality. When it comes to mental creation, there is the divine force of logic (masculine) and the creative force of emotion (feminine). By weaving the two together, “the All” creates the world. The principle of gender is manifest at all levels of reality and in all things, people, plants, animals, etc.

Understanding and working with these 7 Hermetic Principles helps the student to better grasp the “scepter of power” within their own life.

However, studying Esoteric information like the Kybalion opens the doorways to initiation, powerful magic, and higher purpose. For many people, the Kybalion serves as a catalyst for spiritual awakening.

Have you heard the phrase “When the student is ready, the teacher appears”? This idea originates inside of the Kybalion. When the individual is ready to receive higher knowledge and begin initiation into higher levels of consciousness, a book like the Kybalion shows up to reveal the mysteries of life.

Watch this video to learn more about the 7 Hermetic Principles and how a book like the Kybalion can serve to catalyze a person’s initiation into new levels of awareness.

The Master Plan To Save The World

What Is The Best Way For Humans To Live Together?

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

On these pages come the next great plan for mankind.

Instead of a system that serves only a select few, let us have universal brother/sister-hood and unity that works for everyone through a system of meritocracy. Rather than give-in to a socialist safety net, communist values, or any other failed form of economics, we shall strive to co-create a system wherein hard work, disciplined effort, and quality of character are the only means by which a human being earns their way. However, this system cannot come about through the means of capitalism. We have seen throughout the pages of history that capitalism left alone cannot stand under the weight of pressure.

Our global economics are fragile because they provide no easy means by which the last can become first. Meanwhile, the “first” have their path set before them and their hands held as they navigate their often inherited fortunes. Although it is not morally admonishable to inherit great wealth, it must be considered that a truly just and fair society cannot exist if the “least of these” in our civilization are left unaccounted for inside of the system. We must prioritize those who have been left disadvantaged by the bloody pages of history. I am not referring necessarily to direct reparations or any other form of monetary payment. What we must do instead is structure society in such a way that it takes into account socio economic conditions that were created and instituted during less enlightened eras of civilization. For instance, in many inner cities around the United States of America, there are communities that still live under the effects of Civil Rights Era laws. In Baltimore, city busses do not run to certain neighborhoods because these were traditionally segregated as minority communities. These bus routes have not been updated to reflect our new views about race. Another example: Native American communities still suffer under unjust property laws enacted hundreds of years ago. For these minority groups, the weight of laws created by our ignorant ancestors are still felt today.

The critic might say here “Of course! These individuals can still pull themselves up by their bootstraps and succeed inside of America! In fact, the USA is one of the best places to start a business, go from rags-to-riches, and make a name for yourself! Don’t make excuses, take action!”

I agree with this critic more than they might think. Ultimately, it is indeed the individual’s responsibility to work hard, create their own way, and seize opportunity inside of their own lives. However, it is foolish to deny that these individuals are seriously disadvantaged compared to an individual born white, wealthy, and well-fed inside of suburban America.

Imagine two individuals born with relatively equal ambitions and natural talents: one individual is born in the suburbs outside of Washington DC. The second individual is born thirty minutes away, inside of inner-city Baltimore. Although both individuals arrived here on Earth with the same talents, ambitions, genetic hard-wiring, and language, they are in vastly different starting positions inside of the “game of life” despite being born only thirty minutes apart. The same scenario happens every day in and around cities all over the world: the richest members of society are oftentimes born only miles away from those who find themselves living in the gutters. As we have seen time and time again, such a scenario can lead to eventual violent revolution, political turmoil, civil war, global pandemics, and a host of other “worst case scenarios”. Why? Because the scenario we find ourselves in with capitalism is ultimately unsustainable. It is a barrel keg primed for eventual self-destruction.

The question is ultimately a matter of resources. Imagine this hypothetical scenario: you and a few friends are playing a board game. This game involves collecting and expending resources (Imagine “Monopoly”). You both start at the same spot on the board. However, inside of this game, there is a special rule: one player at random starts with 10x as much money as the others. This player also gets to move first. Any time this player runs out of money, the bank gives him a quick and easy loan. If that is not enough, this player is also coached by some of the best Monopoly coaches and strategists in the world while the other players have only the rulebook and a strategy guide. Why? He got lucky and was born into a wealthy family.

The only way the other players have a chance of winning the game is if the lucky player is lazy, an idiot with their money, or extremely generous and charitable to others (which oftentimes happens!).

Now, there is an important element to consider: in life, a person born into a wealthy family did not arrive by accident. Likely, their parents or grandparents or great-great-grandparents worked extremely hard, generated a family fortune, and (of course) shared their wealth with their beloved children and grandchildren. There is nothing wrong with this system and wealth generation is an admirable goal for any family with ambitions of great legacy and long-term success.

Of course, there are countless individuals who have pulled themselves from the gutters of society all the way to the top. Indeed, many of the wealthiest and most impactful individuals in history are in this category. It is easy to find examples of individuals who overcame extreme adversity and disparity only to create massive generational wealth that can last for centuries.

Here is the issue with this model: such families and individuals are in the overwhelming minority.

The average person, for whatever reason, is not able to climb to this peak of the totem pole. For most people living in modern civilization, such ambitions are the makings of the documentaries and movies they watch on Netflix after working their shitty and unfulfilling job. If we are thinking about “Average Joe/Jane”, they are typically lightyears away from where they want to be financially. Due to our current system of capitalism, this financial un-fulfillment often equates to an unhappy and unfulfilling life because money is required to succeed inside of a purely capitalist system.

Why this disparity of personality? Why are some driven and called to become entrepreneurs, pro athletes, or movies stars while most never voice any such ambition? Why do some rise from the bottoms of society and rise to achieve greatness, while most never leave their socioeconomic conditions?

If we want to create a fair and just society, we need to answer these questions. If we want our systems of living in harmony to make sense, we have to learn from mistakes of the past. In order to provide equal opportunity for all humanity, let us strive to innovate new systems of sustainability rather than resorting to failed systems of government or economics.

The answer to the question of this disparity of opportunity is complex and nuanced. It involves re-thinking education, economics, food distribution, taxation, law enforcement, drug policies, foster systems, and a whole lot more. It is a multi-faceted plan with many faces.

However, at the end of the day, it is a plan like any other. It can have a date of execution, achievable goals, a timeline, and checkpoints along the way.

This is the stated mission and intent of this document:

To co-create with all fellow thinkers and seekers a plan to manifest a truly just and fair system whereby humans can live together in peace, harmony, and opportunity.

In order for this plan to succeed, the “plan” must first exist.

Based on what we have seen from history on the planning of civilizations, it cannot be done alone.

If one individual tried to create a system wherein all can live equally, they are most likely to create a system that would work best for themselves; forgetting that “other people are people too”.

In order to create a truly sustainable plan for mankind, it must be co-created from as many wise perspectives as possible. The planning committee must include and consult with experts in economics, civilization-planning, political structures, eduction, religious structures, law enforcement, food production, distribution, banking, and an enormous amount of other systems.

However, always with the eyes and ears to see where all these systems overlap with each other.

Ultimately, all our systems of government, education, military, law enforcement, economics, and more all serve to answer the same basic question:

How can humans best live together in peace, harmony, and opportunity?

We are still working collectively to best answer that question. Amid our current crisis in 2020, it is clear our current course is set for disaster. In order to create “the more beautiful world our hearts know is possible”, we must do this ourselves. Rather than wait for old politicians to fix our world, it is in the hands of the people once again to enact their destiny upon the Earth.

In the asking of this question, we must be ruthless. We must devoid ourselves of anything that is a relic of the old story. Rather than accepting that certain systems “must exist”, we should question everything. Let us heed the skeptic’s wisdom and assume that we know nothing unless it is proven through personal and collective experience. If a certain system of society is deemed unnecessary (for instance: current models of education), it shall be removed from this plan.

We do not seek to model or copy an older system but rather discover something new.

In the same way that humans discovered fire, steel, agriculture, electricity, germs, or any other pivotal discovery that changed the face of the world, let us discover a new way to live together.

By very definition of our pursuit, we should not look for examples of this system in the troves of history. By nature of our pursuit, history can only be looked at for examples of systems that do not work properly. As Charles Eisenstein wrote, “the master’s tools cannot destroy the master’s house”.

Instead, we should utilize the tools we have today in 2020 to manifest something new inside of our day-to-day lives. This is a hands-on process that cannot happen through speculation and inaction. Now is a time for deeds, not words.

However, some words must certainly precede deeds so that we can organize, create a philosophy, and decide on next-steps.

Leaders are planners.

However, planning and acting can be symbiotic actions. For example, as I write this document to flush out my own thoughts on the matter, I am also creating content for my blog, putting words to paper (or, well, Google Doc) so I can share with others, and attempting to establish a way by which we can achieve this universal goal. Action and planning should be done together. Masculine and feminine working as one.

Here are the next steps as I see them:

Find others who are thinking along the same lines as those who are working on this plan.
Invite them to join an online Think-tank where we can all plan together.
Co-create a plan utilizing means of communicating over technology.
Once long-term plan is created, break it down into shorter goals.
Decide on yearly, quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals to achieve together.
Get to work and achieve goals.

I have taken the liberty of creating the online Think-Tank and we are recruiting new members.

Go to the Beyond Homo Sapien sub-reddit on Reddit and start contributing. This plan is about co-creation and unity over old patterns of human civilization building.

Archetypes And Shapeshifting 101

Archetypes Explained

Archetypes are a confusing but important concept. When it comes to the topic of human evolution, understanding different archetypal patterns or forces at-play in our world can help us understand how to better heal our world. When we understand that different deities or “gods” in our experience are really archetypal gods that exist at a higher level of consciousness, we begin to grasp the importance of this issue. Archetypes mold and influence our consciousness at a universal scale.

Have you heard of shape shifting or shapeshifters?

More common in Celtic, Native American, or Voodoo traditions, shapeshifting is typically seen as the idea of a person turning into an animal. Although shapeshifting can be practiced in this manner, there is a more esoteric meaning for the term that extends beyond the realm of animal magic.

In the esoteric traditions, the practice of shapeshifting involves changing between archetypes. In this way, a magician can embody different archetypal “god” energy and channel various beings into this plane of existence. If we are talking about channeling, embodying spirits, or working with beings at a higher level of reality, we are really speaking about communication with an archetypal energy.

Archetypes are written in the stars. If you have studied astrology, you will be familiar with the zodiac and the different astrological signs that give us an energy signature throughout the day. Each of these “zodiac signs” represent archetypal energies that exist at the universal level. Here on the earthly plane, we have different energy signatures that exist inside of the collective consciousness of mankind.

Carl Jung is one of the founding fathers of studying archetypes. His work into understanding the collective consciousness is paramount to working with archetypes. Before contacting these higher forces at work, it is necessary to know that they exist. If you have studied Hermetic philosophy, you will have learned about the planes of correspondance and the different entities that exist at the various levels. When we work with archetypal energy, we are tapping into the true nature of these “higher powers”. In such a way, we can energize ourselves and gain insight through direct communication with the collective mind.

Sound crazy? Well, consider that the archetype of “the heroes journey” is the framework for just about every successful movie, book, or story since the dawn of civilization. Gilgamesh, the world’s oldest mythology, chronicles the original “heroes journey” through the tale of the ancient evil king who became good through passing a series of tests. Once he received his enlightenment, Gilgamesh returns home to share the gift that he gained as a result of his archetypal journey.

The same heroes journey was repeated in the story of Hercules. Inside of this twelve labors, Hercules travels through the different signs of the Zodiac in his quest to achieve immortality. As a half-son of Zeus, Hercules embodies the divine archetypal powers that hold sway inside of our world. Hercules would go on to inspire Achilles. In the fabled Trojan War, the Greek Hero Achilles does battle with his rival Hector. In the story, we learn that Achilles embodies the unwilling hero. Achilles does not wish to engage in battle with the Trojans until he experiences the death of his closest friends. Once he tastes this darkness, Achilles goes on to defeat the Trojans and ultimately die when his ankle is pierced with a poison apple.

In the same vein, Alexander the Great was inspired by Achilles. Everywhere he went, the Macedonian conquerer carried his own personal copy of Homer’s epic: The Iliad. During his trials as conquerer of the ancient world, the young Alexander drew inspiration from Achilles in his real-life heroes journey.

The Heroes Journey

Archetypes like “The Hero” shape our world. They are embedded in our world mythologies. If you believe that archetypes and ancient gods are an energy of the past, you are mistaken. Draw your attention to the modern day archetypes here in 2020: the super heroes. Whether we are talking about Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider Man, Iron Man, or any of them… Super heroes and fantasy worlds still capture our imagination. They are sources of inspiration for our youth. They captivate audiences and generate billions of dollars for media companies that influence our political processes.

Star Wars was based off Joseph Campbell’s book “The Hero With A Thousand Faces“. Inside of this great work, Campbell details the heroes journey. He breaks down the different stages of growth that all heroes encounter inside of their journeys. Campbell explains that, generically speaking, the typical “hero” character is unwilling. They are called into adventure against their wishes. Gandalf summons Frodo to carry the ring to Mount Doom because he must. Luke Skywalker does not want to leave his home until his relatives are killed and his life is in-danger.

The hero is often scared. Throughout their experience, the hero encounters mentors. Dumbledore finds Harry Potter, Aslan meets Lucy, and Morpheus rescues Neo. In your own life, have you ever encountered a mentor who turned your life around? For me, Alex Charfen, Miles Beckler, and Carol Tuttle all come to mind.

The hero is trained by their teachers. Joseph Campbell explains that the hero goes through a period of initiation. While embracing his higher power, the hero must prove himself to his teachers. In war, Soldiers go through boot camp or basic training. Special Operations communities all over the world are selective. In the same way, Harry Potter must prove himself to The Order Of The Phoenix before they will bring him on-board. Luke Skywalker is trained by Yoda in a remote planet. Batman travels the world to master martial arts, chemistry, and technology.

Following training, the hero faces their first test. Typically, the hero makes a name for themselves. Spiderman catches the villain and hoists him up for the police. Superman rescues a man who is trying to kill himself. Achilles defeats Hector in one-on-one combat. Alexander the Great conquers Persia without losing a battle.

This period of success oftentimes leads to the hero becoming their own worst nightmare. The ego takes over. The heroes old demons come back to fight them once again. In the Lord of the Rings, Frodo begins to let the power of the Ring take him over. He insists to Sam that he alone is worthy of being the Ring-bearer. In Star Wars, Luke Skywalker faces Darth Vader before his training is complete. In real life, Alexander the Great expanded his empire too quickly.

In the stories, the hero faces setbacks. Typically, the villain gets one-over on the hero at least once. In the super hero moves of 2018 and 2019, we watched the Avengers face almost certain defeat by Thanos. In the Lord of the Rings, Frodo appears defeated by Shelob and captured by the orcs of Mordor. In Star Wars, Han Solo is frozen in carbonate. In real life, we learn about how Caesar is named a criminal after his conquest of Gaul. We learn about just how close Hitler came to winning WW2 on several occasions. In the archetype of the heroes journey, there is often a moment of almost certain death.

Oftentimes, the hero bounces back. Luke Skywalker and the rebels defeat the Empire (with the help of our Ewok friends, of course). Harry Potter beats Voldemort. The Avengers set the universe back to its proper order.

However, in real life, this is typically not the case. If we read history, we can learn that our real-life “heroes” oftentimes fall short. Alexander the Great died young. Achilles dies from an arrow in his ankle. Caesar is murdered by his supposed friends. Napoleon is exiled. Tzar Nicholas and his family are shot in a basement. Barrack Obama brings little change.

So where do we go wrong?

Why do we strive so diligently to follow the heroes journey if it only leads to ruin?

Understanding archetypes is the pathway we must take to change long-held patterns of belief at the collective level. Archetypal energies like the heroes journey influence are planet at a cosmic scale. If we can learn more about how archetypes function, we can use them to our advantage.

Archetypal Gods

Gods are archetypes. Have you studied mythology? If you read stories about the Egyptian or Greek gods, you learn that they embody different energetic patterns and archetypes at the cosmic level. For instance: the Egyptian god Imhotep and the Greek Asclepius are essentially identical. They both embody the spirit of “the god of healing”. As the founder of medicine, Imhotep was deified by both the Greeks and the Egyptians, but under different names.

In the same vein, we can study gods that embody the Hero archetype. Whether it is the Celtic Lugh or the Greek Heracles (also known as the Roman Hercules), we can read the stories about hero characters. In Native American mythology, we learn about heroes like Kukulkan or Votan who founded great empires in South America. In Norse mythology, we learn about Freyr and Fenrir. All over the world, there are hero myths that include the story of a human becoming elevated to god-hood after their death. Since our species first began to tell stories, we have taught and lived this archetype in millions of ways.

So what does the hero archetype really represent?

If we study mythology, we learn that the hero is always searching for immortality.

One of the most powerful archetypal stories is the Quest for the Holy Grail. In this ancient story of the British isles, we learn about King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. In Arthur’s court, all are said to be equal. Arthur is taught by the powerful wizard: Merlin. In the same way that Obi-Wan taught Luke Skywalker to become a Jedi, Merlin initiates King Arthur into a powerful magical tradition. Eventually, King Arthur and his Knights set out to find the sacred cup that Jesus used at the Last Supper. This magical cup is said to contain the blood of Christ. Drinking from the Holy Grail carries the promise of immortality. Additionally, those who are said to “possess the Grail” are said to guard the gateways to the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth. In a sense, the power of the Holy Grail can create a new Heaven here on Earth for those who maintain the “Church of the Holy Grail”. Want to learn more about the Grail Tradition? Click here.

King Arthur and his Knights are embodying all heroes in this Quest for the Grail. In the archetype of the heroes journey, the hero is searching for their higher self. They are reaching for spiritual fulfillment. In their work, the hero is manifesting their highest self into the earthly plane. When Jason finds the Golden Fleece, he is really finding himself. Upon return to their kingdom, the hero exists at an enlightened state. In fact, after the hero’s body dies on the earthly plane, the community often immortalizes the hero inside of their mythology. In some cases, the hero is even placed into the stars through our understanding of the constellations. When the hero returns, they are met with a warm welcome. Gilgamesh turns his city into a mighty nation.

Put simply: the hero achieves his goal when his quest for spiritual fulfillment is fulfilled.

Inside of our world, this message gets lost. In his conquest of the world, Alexander the “Great” murders millions of innocent people. When he tries to do the same, Napoleon leads to the deaths of many more. The United States, embodying the story of the hero at a collective level, lead the world into futility when they invaded Iraq in 2003. We have not learned the message of the heroes journey.

The hero is fulfilled when his quest for enlightenment and inner wisdom is achieved. The Holy Grail represents the power of Jesus Christ. It embodies Christ Consciousness. The understanding that unconditional love is the supreme force for good in our world. When we embody this Christ Consciousness at every level of our being, we can inherit and receive “the Holy Grail”. Once this receiving has occurred, we can inherit the Kingdom of Heaven here on Earth.

I believe it because such has been my experience. The Kingdom of Heaven lies within man. The Holy Grail can be yours.

Archetypal Energy And Shapeshifting

How do archetypes work with shapeshifting?

For most of our lives, we embody the spirit of the heroes journey. This archetypal energy raises us out of our lower selves and helps us achieve a sort of self-realization. Through the power of this quest for “higher self”, we raise in spiritual consciousness. Our evolution begins and transforms everything about our lives.

However, once the heroes journey is finished, we can transition into working with different archetypes. It is almost as if the heroes journey is a sort of initiation that we must undergo before these higher levels of power can be accessed and used freely.

In my last post, I wrote about my experiences with astral travel and experiencing spirits like Imhotep.

When I was first beginning to understand archetypal energies, I worked exclusively with certain known gods. During my astral travels, I met with Ganesh. I encountered Shiva. I spoke with Thor. I knelt before the Lords of the Cycles and received guidance about my destiny. Whenever working with these archetypes, I would feel an immense sense of energetic power. The energy of the encounter would bring me to my knees. Especially when working with Imhotep and learning to embody that energy in my life, I was oftentimes in need of a breather or a nap. When you are first exposed to archetypal energies, it can be intense. This is normal. You are literally making contact with a higher dimension of the human collective consciousness. Although use of psychedelic plant medicines or cannabis can certainly help, they are not necessary for the practice. Indeed, working in the sober realm for extended periods if of prime importance.

However, the real power of archetypes lies in shapeshifting.

Shapeshifting is when you move between the different archetypal gods. Living a life where you contact and work directly with a select number of deities. In my spiritual practice, I work with Jesus Christ, Imhotep, King Arthur, Kokopelli, and the Archangels. Although it may sound crazy to those who have never experienced this sort of magic, belief can only come through direct practice. You have to see and feel this to believe in the power. However, that being said, tread wary. When you set an intent to contact a higher power, such a power might show up more readily than you think.

Once you understand how to shift between these archetypal energies, further levels of power are unlocked.

The creation of your own archetypes.

Once the magician is practiced in the art of channeling higher powers, you can directly tap into different versions of your higher self.

In my spiritual practice, I have invented a few.

These days, I only exist as my own archetypes. I do not embody spirits, gods, or angels in these days. Although I might seek guidance from a higher power, I am working on creating my own archetypes inside of the collective mind.

Let me introduce you to a few. In a sense, it is a conscious decision to step into a different mindset. I am making agreements with myself as to which energies I am consciously accessing. I set an intent and make a choice for how I am going to show-up inside of my world. From my perspective, shape-shifting is extremely practical. Certain archetypes do better inside of a business meeting. When I am with my girlfriend, she wants me to be in a given headspace. If I am out with friends, I probably do not need to be in direct contact with the spirit realm.

Having boundaries with the spirit realm is even more important than having boundaries with friends in your life. If you do not, those spiritual relationships might impact or affect others than you realize. Unfortunately, such has been my experience on several occasions. I was not aware of the power I was summoning into my world and it negatively impacted myself and several friends. Although everyone was fine in the aftermath, the experiences certainly left an impact and changed how I approach these practices. Be careful as you enter into higher levels of awareness.

Let me introduce you to the archetype whose writing this blog post:

Ninja Paul.

Ninja Paul is energetically invisible unless he chooses to reveal himself.

In this state, I am focused on a meditative practice. I am involved in more ceremonial practices like creating art, Yoga, meditation, or martial arts.

I am a master of healing Ninja magic like Feng shui. I use my powers only to heal and help the world. I operate in secret and I move unseen through my world.

Get the idea?

This is not so suggest leaning into a form of dissociative identity disorder. Rest assured: I have full retention of memory in all these various “forms” of myself. As mentioned before, it is the art of tapping into different sides of yourself. It is a method of “getting in the zone”.

In my life, shape shifting between archetypes proves extremely effective. Want to write a book? Activate a side of your self that is better at expressing art. Perhaps your inner child? Instead of invoking a god, invoke your highest self.

Once you do, your whole life changes. Why? Because your highest self gets to choose. You are now writing the code for the video game of life. Once you complete your own heroes journey, the Kingdom of Heaven is yours.

Ready to begin? Go find your Holy Grail.

Tantra Archetype Explained

Tantra

Tantra is the sacred practice of being one with the divine in every moment. Through the practices of breath-work, mindfulness, willpower, magic, and sexual transmutation, the tantric practitioner weaves their way through life according to the path of tantric mysticism. While studying the different magical schools of the world, I read accounts of tantric Yogis who could perform incredible feats of magical ability. Tantric masters might be able to become invisible, levitate, or conduct incredible acts of sexual passion. Although I have never practiced tantra too closely myself, I have always been interested in learning more.

This post documents my process of learning more about tantra and how this powerful practice can help our lives here in 2020!

Tantra is a magical practice. Through the focus of willpower and intend, the tantric Yogi can influence their reality through the power of their mind. This anyway, is the idea and the promise of the Tantric path. There is much more to tantra than just tantric sex. In all, the practice seems to focus around ideas of breath-work, mindfulness, and connection with the divine. In this way, it might be similar to Kundalini Yoga. However, tantra differs in nature due to its focus on working with partners in either Tantric Yoga, tantric sex, or similar practices.

Tantra is a lifelong practice that brings many to a greater understanding of their place in the universe. In this post, we will explore tantra together and include interviews with experts on the topic of tantric sex, the tantra archetype, and breathwork!

Tantra Archetype

Tantra is a cosmic archetype that exists in the collective consciousness. Instead of navigating blindly through the video game of life, these archetypal forces can give us a roadmap forward in our spiritual journeys. Inside of the material world, we can learn to gain a level of control through the process of awakening to the realization that reality emanates from us. We are part of an infinite living mind. We swim inside of a cosmic brain matter. If you want to learn more about this concept, study the works of Carl Jung or read Hermetic philosophy.

Cosmic archetypes like the Heroes Journey influence our reality at a higher energetic level. Through practices like astral travel, a person can learn to access these different planes of correspondence inside of their own inner world. Although it might first appear that these mental apparitions or meditative-voyages exist only inside of the mind, I have found through experimentation that there does indeed appear to be a correspondence between these so-called “different planes of correspondence”. As said in the Emerald Tablets: “As Above, So Below”.

Archetypes like Tantra are held inside of the collective mind. They are worshipped in different cultures under an assortment of names and mythologies. In Greece, the cult of Aphrodite practiced sex rituals, sex magic, and erotic parties that might seem taboo in today’s “civilized” world. Meanwhile, Norse practices of fertility magic and nature worship was quite similar despite a distance of time and space. All over the world, we see veneration of the sexual goddess inside of statues, art, and story.

All these myths, practices, rituals, and gods are the same archetype: Tantra. Sex. Fertility. Manifestation. The Divine Feminine co-creating with the Divine Masculine.

Inside of Hermetic philosophy, we see the idea of the Principle of Gender. This seventh principle inside of the Hermetic teachings explains that all of creation is manifested inside of this guideline of two opposite principles: masculine and feminine. Down to the atomic level, we see the proton and the electron orbiting the neutron. The Hermetic philosophers suggest that the proton represents the masculine force, the electron the feminine, and the neutron stands as the neutral pillar of spirit around which all life revolves. This is also established inside of the teachings of Kabbalah from the Zohar regarding the Tree of Life.

Inside of human beings, the principle of gender manifests as men and women. Two separate sexes who are able to come together in unity through the act of sex. From the practice of sex, humans give life to their species and the evolutionary cycle continues forward.

Tantra represents this unity. Inside of tantric practices of sex, ritual, breathwork, meditation, and Yoga, we find a pathway forward into a deep connection with the divine. Through this path, the tantric Yogi can manifest into being great “miracles” and achieve dominion over the outer and inner worlds.

Tantra works at the level of the foundation of reality. By understanding the principle of gender, a tantric Yogi or practitioner can enter into a deep state of union with their partner or in their personal practice. Tantra is a powerful archetype that can be embodied inside of an individual practice from the comfort of one’s home.

Tantric Sex

Tantric sex is most often the aspect of Tantra which stands out the most. Inside of popular culture, Tantra is regarded as the practice of sex cults, orgies, and sex addicts. Although our world is awakening to the magic and healing potential of practices like Tantra, historically these sorts of practiced have not been in the spotlight. Thankfully, here in 2020, we are seeing a resurgence of interest in topics like Tantra, astral travel, Tarot, Hermetic philosophy, and work with psychedelic plant medicines.

Tantric sex is a powerful practice of manifestation. In the same way that humans are birthed through the act of sex, so to0 our manifestations spring into existence when imagined during a powerful act of sex. Inside of various teachings around the law of attraction, we find the idea that EMOTION and FEELING is an important part of the manifestation equation. Neville Goddard and other teachers of the “New Thought Movement” advocate for the idea that imagination combined with a powerful sense of emotion that your goals have already been accomplished is how this “magic” seems to work best. Put simply: if you want to manifest something, try feeling the emotion you would have if you had already achieved that goal. In modern day science, it is becoming understood that our brains do not know the difference between a past event or present moment. All our brain records is the emotional reaction we have to that situation.

Tantric sex helps because the best-case-scenario for manifestation is a state of ecstatic bliss with a partner while both individuals are focused on the same desired intent.

Tantra is more than sex but this aspect is a powerful and magical practice of the tradition.

Tantric sex can also bring deep emotional healing. Inside of our societies, sexual healing is needed at a deep level.

Human Design And Gene Keys

Human Design and Gene Keys intersect in many directions. Through understanding both the systems of Human Design and Gene Keys together, we can map out a pathway to ascension and spiritual awakening. The universe is far more weird than we give it credit. Oftentimes, when paranormal experiences happen in our life, they are meant to draw our attention inward and call us to a deeper alignment. Through understanding the Gene Keys system, we can understand our genetic pathway towards evolution. When acting in accord with our Human Design, we have an easier time manifesting what we want and keeping our energy in balance.

Human Design works alongside astrology to create a system for self realization and optimal living. In Human Design, we have a pathway to understanding our own energy systems. There are five “types” in Human Design:

Projectors: Individuals who should wait for an invitation to act. Those who project their internal reality onto the world to architect their own creations. When recognized, a Projector can be invited into a place of leadership where they serve as a wellspring to others.
Generators: Individuals who provide energy and support to others. A Generator manifests through working with Manifestors and enabling them to achieve their goals. When the team succeeds, the Generator benefits. The Generator draws support from Projectors to achieve their total optimization and spiritual growth.
Manifestors: Individuals who impose their willpower on reality and shape reality with their minds! These are the Type-A personality types who get-after life with passion and fire. Although they are strong willed and spirited people, Manifestors rely on healing support from Generators to keep themselves in the action.
Manifesting-Generators: Those who are hybrids of the Manifestor and Generator types. These individuals serve to enable others and also enhance themselves to a greater degree. Powerful individuals indeed!
Reflectors: Those who reflect the collective energy of the world. For these individuals, self-care is hugely important. Their health and energy levels are closely tied in with the moon. Rarest of all the types, they serve as oracles with the spirit world and often are drawn towards special roles and gifts.

Gene Keys

Gene Keys was created by Richard Rudd. In his book “The Gene Keys”, Richard Rudd lays out the 64 keys hidden inside of our DNA. Richard Rudd explains that we each have different Gene Keys that are most prominent inside of our life stories. For instance, my main gene key is number 57.

Gene Keys is a complex topic and requires extensive contemplation. Inside of the Gene Keys book, Richard Rudd explains that the idea of contemplation is essential to integrating the Gene Keys into your life. Over a long period of time contemplating the different Gene Keys and how they impact your life, the individual ascends to higher realms of consciousness.

The Gene Keys system revolves around three ideas: the “shadow”, the “genius”, and “the Siddhi”. The final level of “Siddhi” is reserved for those who have ascended into the highest state of a specific Gene Key within the system of 64. Ideally, a person rises to the “Siddhi” level of activation in the three Gene Keys that most drastically impact their life.

In most cases, we exist in the state of our shadow. Over time, this shadow energy of our lower spiritual selves is transmuted into higher states. In the same way that our bodies and spirits experience evolution, our DNA activates and changes to conform with the internal evolution of consciousness we might experience. In a powerful way, Gene Keys allows us to experience this evolution in our daily life.

As we progress through the Gene Keys system, we enter into states of “genius” within our DNA. Inside these states, we feel alive and activated. Although still not at the highest “Siddhi” state, we experience life in a more vivid fashion. Although the different states of consciousness and experience differ depending on which Gene Key is activated, the generic idea is that the “genius” level is quite desirable.

As we evolve our DNA, we progress into the “Siddhi” state of enlightenment. The Gene Keys system explains that the Siddhi is our highest selves. In this way, we experience god and thrive as spiritually enlightened beings. We have ascended and now hold space for others to do the same. In this highest state, we re-enter life as a teacher and a servent.

Gene Keys requires time and contemplation to integrate or understand.

Gene Keys And Human Design

Gene Keys and Human Design work together and can create one symbiotic system for human understanding. Together, they form a pathway towards better contemplation of our human conditions. Through conducting readings of Human Design and Gene Keys, we can learn how to activate our DNA code and evolve beyond what we normally experience. This is a key component of spiritual awakening and self realization.

As you dive into your journey with the Gene Keys, you develop a better understanding of your spiritual body and how it evolves alongside your human body! As you work with Human Design, you optimize your energy and learn to manifest your ambitions. Together, they create a wonderful system.

On this episode of the Beyond Homo Sapien Podcast, Jarin Kenyon joins Paul Tokgozoglu to talk about how the Gene Keys factor into our Human Design charts. Let us join together in the journey towards self realization!

Human Design and Gene Keys are best used together. When we take a holistic approach to life, more is revealed. Life is weirder than we could have imagined and astrological forces have more energetic sway over our destiny than we may have realized. These powerful forces are worked into the fabric of our DNA!

Conclusion

Gene Keys and Human Design are fascinating. When I was first exposed to these systems, I was skeptical. At first, they appeared as as bastardized version of astrology (which almost seemed phony at the time). However, over contemplation and research, I have found much truth in the halls of Human Design and the 64 Gene Keys developed by Richard Rudd. Although I certainly do not believe Richard Rudd to be some ascended master, he has developed a unique system for humans to contemplate their life’s journey.

Human Design and Gene Keys are intuitive practices. They ask us to be more in-tune with our souls, our energy, and our manifestations. Gene Keys calls us into deep meditation and contemplation. Human Design asks us to set boundaries, practice self-care, and empathize for others as a part of the way in which we co-create in the world. Together, they are magical.
