Kundalini is a Sanskrit word meaning a serpentine or twisting force or gas. According to the Tantric disciplines, this force can be drawn up through the central spinal canal (Sushumna) and when in its ascent it strikes the brain, it stimulates or opens the spiritual centers of consciousness, thereby consummating the Yogi’s labors toward self-mastery and illumination. Kundalini, also sometimes called “the astral serpent,” is described as a power or energy in the Muladhara. “It has its head in the region of the navel.” It is called serpent-like because of its strange curving motion. “It appears to move around and around in a circle; Ida and Pingala alternate on account of its motion.” As Kundalini ascends, it enters into one spinal chakra after another and incorporates into itself the qualities of these chakras, mastering them and resulting in certain definite extensions of power and sense perception. Upon completing its ascent, it has absorbed into its own essence all the qualitative states through which it has passed, so that the chakras appear as “united into one current,” like beads upon a thread or knots upon a sacred cord. The magicians of Egypt turned their rods into serpents before Pharaoh and Moses threw down his rod also, but it was transformed into a great serpent which swallowed up all the little serpents. Here is a most vivid account of the function of Kundalini. The serpents are the countless Nadis; the great serpent is the spinal fire herself, who is victorious over all the functions of the sensory nerves, so that it is scarcely an exaggeration to say that she devours them. Kundalini is the brazen serpent of Moses which he raised upon the Tau cross in the wilderness, and those who looked upon it did not die from the stings of the little serpents. _Continue reading on our knowledgebase: https://www.gnosticserpent.com/knowledge-base/kundalini-sympathetic/ Art by @nychos #Kundalini #serpentpower #kundalinirising #gnosticserpent (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/vedic.shastras/p/CXRK4RZhumL/?utm_medium=tumblr

Eliphas Levi expounds with reasonable clearness, in his Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie, the law of reciprocal influences between the planets and their combined effect upon the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms, as well as upon ourselves. He states that the astral atmosphere is as constantly changing from day to day, and from hour to hour, as the air we breathe. He quotes approvingly the doctrine of Paracelsus that every man, animal, and plant bears external and internal evidences of the influences dominant at the moment of germinal development. He repeats the old kabalistic doctrine, that nothing is unimportant in nature, and that even so small a thing as the birth of one child upon our insignificant planet has its effect upon the universe, as the whole universe has its own reactive influence upon him. "The stars," he remarks, "are linked to each other by attractions which hold them in equilibrium and cause them to move with regularity through space. This network of light stretches from all the spheres to all the spheres, and there is not a point upon any planet to which is not attached one of these indestructible threads. The precise locality, as well as the hour of birth, should then be calculated by the true adept in astrology; then, when he shall have made the exact calculation of the astral influences, it remains for him to count the chances of his position in life, the helps or hindrances he is likely to encounter . . . and his natural impulses toward the accomplishment of his destiny." He also asserts that the individual force of the person, as indicating his ability to conquer difficulties and subdue unfavorable propensities, and so carve out his fortune, or to passively await what blind fate may bring, must be taken into account. _ Helena Blavatsky Art source unknown - pls mention #Microcosmicman #planetarybody #elementalbody #prakriti #magick #gnosticserpent (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXRKMqqhj_M/?utm_medium=tumblr

Path of Sword The path of the sword is the Way of Manifestation; it is the path of magick, ritual, and religion, which seeks to draw down the power of the divine and to manifest it upon the earth. The ultimate goal of the Way of the Sword is, perhaps, best expressed in the descent of the New Jerusalem at the end of the biblical book of revelations – the perfection of material existence. On the Path of the Sword, the aspirant does not seek to escape from the suffering of the world and attain entrance to immaterial heaven, but rather to create heaven on earth. All morality and exoteric religion belong to the Way of the Sword, as their aim is to manifest an ideal or to manifest the characteristics of some God-Form on earth through the obedience and devotion of worshippers. Magick, in this sense, does not describe a specifically supernatural event, but rather the art of ‘causing change to occur in conformity with the Will’; this Will being the higher nature of the operator, and not simply whims and egotistical desires. ‘Pure Will, un-assuaged in the lust for results, is in every way perfect. The purpose of Magick is the material expression of the higher nature of humanity. _Continue reading on Tree of Life: https://www.gnosticserpent.com/knowledge-base/tree-of-life/ Art source unknown - pls mention #TreeofLife #Manifestation #pathofsword #psychedelicgnosis #gnosticserpent (at Vedic Shastras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXRJmTbBzYN/?utm_medium=tumblr
