BRIDGE TO PEACE PROJECT

The 2 pages of The Bridge to Peace Project were created to explain the purpose and connection between the map of World Peacemakers, the Living Knowledge Page, and the Partners in Peace Pages. Also, these pages cover the multiple levels involved, from the most practical application in getting Dr. Carol Sue Rosin’s Treaty banning all space-based weapons signed, to our goal to connect with the deepest level of Peace – the Peace that passeth all understanding – to align with the Divine/Cosmic Plan and bring heaven to Earth. Consequently, this page covers the first 4 sections or articles to address the many questions we have been asked and Page 2 covers the last 3 sections:

1. How and why was the map of World Peacemakers created? & Why 144,000?
2. How does the map connect to the Partners in Peace Page and their roles? & What do the Partners and their positions on the Tree signify?
3. How is the Partners in Peace Page connected to the Living Knowledge Page?
4. Why are there two pyramids at the center of the Partners in Peace Page?
5. How are we applying Dr. Carl Johan Calleman’s theory to World Peace?
6. Global Meditation– Venus Transition (link to Meditation Page)
7. What happens after we gather 144,000 names for the map? & What’s next?

How and why the map of World Peacemakers was created:
Why 144,000?

Before we get to the first question, I would like to share with you a discovery that literally revealed to us the means for Humanity to transform the world. It involved the original meaning of the word repent.

Whenever, I thought of the word repent, a vision of John the Baptist preparing the ground for Jesus 2,000 years ago would pop into my head. He did this according to the Bible by saying “Repent, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.” Today, this statement is taken to mean that John was calling for people to “repent their sins.” However, when we remember the Greek influence of several centuries we find a surprising interpretation. To use one of my favorite sources, Wikipedia who reports:

“The Greek term for repentance, metanoia, denotes a change of mind, a reorientation, a fundamental transformation of outlook, of an individual’s vision of the world and of her/himself, and a new way of loving others and the Universe. In the words of a second-century text, The Shepherd of Hermas, it implies ‘great understanding,’ discernment.”

In other words John was telling the people to change the way they thought about everything. It wasn’t until today with the development of quantum theory that posits we affect the very matter around us simply by observing it that the relevance of the original meaning for repent is seen. When we consider that our thoughts and emotions mold our very reality, it opens up the realization that we can change the world simply by viewing the world as energy and consciousness. This literally changes the way we think, or “a fundamental transformation of outlook, of an individual’s vision of the world and of her/himself.”

Moving onto the first question:

How and why was the map was created?

 

To answer the above question we need to go back to last year and the Lothlorien Peace Festival in Foulain France, where our Close Associate Leyland Carney was one of the organizers. At the time we were reading Dr. Carl Johan Calleman’s book The Mayan Calendar: Transformation of Consciousness. In reading his brilliant work, we knew that it was no coincidence that he was going to lead a global meditation for Peace at the festival and subsequently contacted him.

Around a week before we spoke with Dr. Calleman we began hearing about the next and closest alignment of the comet Elenin on September 26th. As previous alignments had coincided with large earthquakes a great deal of fear was being generated. Looking at the comet as energetically neutral we realized that we had a unique opportunity to harness the energy to affect the consciousness. The first thing we determined was the necessity to quiet the fear and so we co-sponsored a world-wide press release calling for a 3 Day Moratorium on the News to focus on Peace.

We saw this as employing the principle of the “new” science Noetics that posits the theory when enough people are focused on a single thought they affect the world. Our goal of the press release was to get at least 144,000 people to focus on peace for 3 Days. We achieved this when Tony Burroughs, one of the co-sponsors included a letter I had written inviting his group of intenders to take part, in a news letter he sent out to his group. Unbeknown to us this was only the first stage in the project to promote peace energetically, so to speak.

Interestingly, it was only a short time before the Lothlorien Peace Festival that we began using the map on our opening page to gather names of people who wanted World Peace. Originally, we had created the map for members of the Know Thyself Initiative, which I will not go into here. When we began gathering names we had no idea that we were going to use the map to actually create the frequency of Peace.

Following the festival and the non-event of the Elenin alignment we knew at least 144,000 people had focused on peace. Another “indication” was our being guided to place a holding “light of hope” in every country until October 28th. This of course was the date Dr. Calleman had deduced to be the end of the Maya Calendar where the universe would reach its highest quantum state.

However, the energy created by at least 144,000 focused on peace had a far greater immediate affect than we could have imagined. As we listened to Dr. Calleman’s voice leading the global meditation we felt the vibration of Love and Peace flood the world. The people at the festival were deeply affected, which was demonstrated when Leyland told us he was so moved by the energy that he felt compelled to go to South America for the upcoming 11:11:11 event that literally hundreds of thousands of people were taking part in.

Irrespective of those warning that either October 28th or November 11th was the end of the world, we saw these two weeks as heralding a rise in the vibration of the world by several levels. Amazingly, Leyland ended up performing his 11:11:11 ceremony in the exact same spot on the Island of the Sun in Lake Titicaca that Craig and I had been guided to perform a ceremony on 11 years earlier. I explain how this came about and the synchronicities in the article “11 year connection to the Island of the Sun on 11:11:11” on the Peace Page.

After October 28th we removed all the dots; however the “dots” holding the light of hope places were quickly replaced with 83 groups and locations holding ceremonies as 11:11:11 events on the map. We believe it was the connection world wide of the 11:11:11 ceremonies, together with the global meditation held earlier at the Lothlorien Peace Festival that facilitated us finding a world peace maker in every country on the map, 165 countries and at least 1% of the 144,000; so why this number of people? To many the number evokes the Book of Revelation, but we already knew that it was not just Christians who were involved; the number applied to the entire Human Race.

Our perspective on the number was expanded when we realized in numerology the number 144,000 when reduced to a single digit resulted in 9 the number of completion – 1+4+4 = 9. Only in this case, it is magnified a thousand fold by adding three zeros to it. This information took on a whole new light for us, when we learned from Dr. Calleman that the number nine dominated this auspicious time, because it represented the completion of the Maya ninth wave. The vibration of the 9 energy as well as meaning Completion also means Divine Will and added to the date of the Meditation 9+2+3+2 (0)+1+1 = 18 – 1+8=9 and the Maya’s 9th Wave, 144,000 world peacemakers focusing on Peace for 3 days represented the microcosm of the world. We saw this as God or if you prefer the Universe’s act of supreme compassion to help Humanity change direction on mass.

A short time before the 11:11:11 event we learned of Dr. Carol Sue Rosin’s work to promote peace by getting the Outer Space Security and Development Treaty banning all space-based weapons signed by nine (that number again) members of the United Nations and ratified into law. As to us this represented the first and most obvious level of peace, we felt compelled to help Dr. Carol in her endeavor. This leads me to the next section/article and question.

How the map connects to the Partners in Peace Page and their roles?
What do the Partners and their positions on the Tree signify?

The Partners in Peace Page evolved from realizing that Dr. Calleman’s brilliant theory could be applied to promote World Peace. In brief, his theory states there is a Cosmic Tree of Life at the center of the universe that drives evolution through its reflection of a geometric structure of a miniature tree of life surrounding every human and higher mammal’s cells. In other words we are all connected at the cellular level to a Cosmic/Divine force. I will be addressing the deeper implications and how we will apply the theory in the appropriate section/article, but here I want to address the practical application of connecting ten carefully selected groups of people dedicated to promoting world Peace and Harmony laid out in the form of a Tree of Life.

First, everyone on the Partners in Peace Page is also on the map, which means their friends who are of the same intent in wanting a united world in peace and harmony are also on the map. Consequently, this results in thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people’s intent linked between this page and the map. As I said, our goal is to find the critical mass number of 144,000 and as well as the partners on this page, we have been enrolling promoters of peace, who are helping us gather names by contacting their Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and any other social media network’s friends to ask them to add their first name to the map. The reason so small a number is required is because of the fact of how much we are all connected. For instance, a list of, let’s say 100 friends of a promoter of peace will represent multiple countries and if they provide us with a country or city will be added to that list also. This means that many times the same people’s intent for World Peace will be in more than one place on the map, adding exponentially to the energy and intent.

Although this page represents the Archetype of the Tree of Life found throughout the world, in the layout of the Partners in Peace Page we are using the traditional Kabbalistic layout. Before I describe the reason for choosing the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, I want to emphatically state that the word Kabbalah should in no way be associated with the popular media-term of Cabal, which the American Heritage College Dictionary 4th Edition 20002 defines as: “1. A conspiratorial group - 2. A secret scheme.” – However, Wikipedia gives a more detailed definition and explains that although the word “Cabal” was taken from Kabbalah its modern interpretation is different:

A cabal is a group of people united in some close design together, usually to promote their private views and/or interests in a church, state, or other community, often by intrigue. Cabals are sometimes secret societies composed of a few designing persons, and at other times are manifestations of emergent behavior in society or governance on the part of a community of persons who have well established public affiliation or kinship. The term can also be used to refer to the designs of such persons or to the practical consequences of their emergent behavior, and also holds a general meaning of intrigue and conspiracy. The use of this term usually carries strong connotations of shadowy corners, back rooms and insidious influence; a cabal is more evil and selective than, say, a faction, which is simply selfish; because of this negative connotation, few organizations use the term to refer to themselves or their internal subdivisions…

The Bridge to Peace Project has absolutely nothing to do with any one religion, political group or organization, it is wholly bi-partisan, non-racial/ethnic and nondenominational; above all it is open to anyone who wants World Peace. Essentially, the project’s purpose is to use archetypes and symbols that are universally known to unite the world and to assist in spiritual evolution for the entire Human Race.

Returning to the reason we are using the Kabbalistic Tree of Life as the archetype, we have selected this version because; the Kabbalists division of the tree provides the simplest and most succinct description of this important archetype. They divided the Tree into three pillars, which they called Severity (left as you look at the page) Mildness (center), and Mercy (right as you look at the page) and four levels. The first level they called Atziluth, which represented the (Archetypal world) and contains the three Sephirot Kether meaning Crown, Chokmah meaning Wisdom, and Binah meaning Understanding. The next level they designated as Briah, which represented the (Creative world). Again three Sephirot were assigned to this level, Chesed meaning Mercy, Geburah meaning Strength, and Tiphareth meaning Beauty. Level three they designated Yetzirah, which they thought represented the (Formative world). The three Sephirot assigned to this level were Netzach meaning Victory, Hod meaning Splendor, and Yesod meaning Foundation. Only one Sephirot is assigned to the last level, which the Kabbalists call Assiah, meaning (Active world). This Sephirot is Malkuth meaning Kingdom.

What helped me was to think of the four levels in terms of the four elements, starting with the top level of Fire, then Air, then Water and finally Earth. The Mysteries carried this concept down through the ages to us through another archetypal and highly symbolic method, the four suits of the Tarot deck, where Wands represent fire, Swords represent air, Cups represent water, and Pentacles represent earth. These four suits also denote aspects of the human psyche as in the way we create. In this way the suit of wands suggests the symbol of a magician waving his wand to select from the Cosmic or mass consciousness or as the Kabbalists call it Mind-Stuff. Viewed this way Atziluth or the fire plane could be seen as the repository of all potential creation or the origin of an idea; the spark of inspiration. The Kabbalists believed this plane represented the un-manifested dynamic active principal of the soul. Another description for this level could be a way to connect to the Higher Self.

Taking the symbol of the sword for air and the mind, the symbolism here is the sword that represents the self-conscious cutting out the as yet unclear “idea” from the Cosmic Mind-stuff or repository of potential creation. This takes place in Briah the Air or Mental Plane and was seen by the Kabbalists as manifesting through the mind.

After the “idea” has been cut out or developed by the self-conscious, it passes into the sub-conscious mind’s eye or image-making faculty, otherwise known as the imagination. This occurs in the Water or Emotional Plane represented by the suit of cups. Another way of looking at this plane is the Plane of Desire. It is here that we use our imagination to visualize the idea into reality. For the Kabbalists, Yetzirah was where we manifest through the emotions. In the plane of Desire, using imagination and desire the “idea” which has now become a wish or hope is the last step in creating before the “idea” enters the final level; Assiah.

Appropriately, the Physical Plane or the Plane of Assiah is symbolically represented by the pentacle as the solid physical representation of the original idea. Assiah represents the physical material, operating on the objective plane. I will be returning to the deeper Tarot connection in a later section/article, but now I want to address the ten Sephirot and the archetypal correspondences.

The Seven Sacred Planets of the Ancient Wisdom are also found in the Tree of Life and are assigned to Binah – Saturn, Chesed - Jupiter, Geburah - Mars, Tiphareth - Sun, Netzach - Venus, Hod - Mercury and Yesod - Moon. You may have noticed that three of the ten Sephirot is not included; however, in this representation Chokmah represents the sphere of the zodiac, which leaves the first, Kether and last Malkuth representing the Alpha and Omega of evolution.

Although we speak of the Tree of Life in the singular, according to Dionne Fortune’s The Mystical Qabalah each Sephirot contains its own individual tree of life. Obviously, this means that within these trees of life, its ten individual Sephirot are also trees of life. This fact reminded me of Fractals and the Mandelbrot Set and helped me to see how when we meditate or focus on this powerful archetype it will completely infuse the consciousness. Ms. Fortune also brought another powerful aspect to the Tree of Life as a visual aid. Moving in sequence down the tree is a distinctive line known as the “Descent of Power”.

The “Line” represents the Life-Principle traversing the tree in order to evolve. In other words, starting in the Kether Sephirot of the Kether tree the Life Principle flows down its Line of Descent until it reaches the Kether’s tree Malkuth. Once in Malkuth it then moves back up the central pillar of Mildness along the Path of the Arrow to transfer to the tree in Chokmah through the mysterious non-Sephirot Daath.

 

Although there is officially only ten Sephirot on the traditional Kabbalistic Tree of Life, there is in fact eleven points of consciousness or energy present on the tree. This is because floating between the Archetypal Plane and the Mental Plane is the mysterious non-Sephirot known as Daath. According to Dionne Fortune, “Daath embraces the Sphere of Justice… at the supreme level, the absolute balancing point of the smallest atom in relationship with furthest and largest sun…” Another way to describe Daath is akin to the Holy Spirit being within every heart and acting as a kind of doorway or star-gate to the kingdom of God within; likewise Daath is the link between the macrocosm and the microcosm, only it does not just concern the individual, but also the entire Life-Principle’s process of spiritual evolution. Consequently, Daath could be seen as a doorway in spiritual evolution connecting all Life to the Divine Plane in between steps, so to speak. For those technically minded, Daath could also be seen as representing the internet, connecting each web site (heart) to the web (the kingdom within).

The Dynamic Nature of the Project Reveals Itself

Initially we had thought we only needed ten groups that we would be guided to invite; however, we found ourselves inviting more than ten. The only way we could reconcile this was that whichever group accepted first would be on the tree. Nonetheless, we are operating in the Active Plane which means it is dynamic. Consequently, we had to be dynamic. In letting go of all preconceived designs of how the project was to play out, we quickly realized we had to incorporate the concept of each Sephirot containing a tree and that trees Sephirot each containing and so on like the Mandelbrot Set moving inwards to the kingdom within. Once we embraced this thought, I was reminded of the twenty-two paths archetypally represented by the twenty-two Major Arcana of the Tarot and realized we needed two more trees of life of Partners in Peace to represent the twenty-two paths. These trees would symbolize the Superconscious and the sub-conscious with their own pages and together with the Conscious tree would assist in understanding the connection.

Although on a traditional Kabbalistic Tree of Life above, the twenty-two paths appear to flow from the top to the bottom of the tree, we found the diagram to the right that shows the paths leading to the inner kingdom.

 

As we shall see one of the Sephirot that represents our plane of existence, Malkuth’s symbol is a double cube. It is important to keep in mind that evolution is always within, which is why Ancient Wisdom teachers had always stressed that the Divine Realm or the Kingdom of God is within our hearts. Apart from reflecting our need to go within, incorporating the twenty-two paths together with the eleven Sephirot – ten plus Daath meant we would have thirty-three partners. Knowing that thirty-three is one of the master numbers together with eleven and twenty-two I felt this was extremely relevant to the project, so I went on line to research it. I found the excerpt below on the website Decoz.com and had my intuition confirmed; however, I will let the excerpt speak for itself:

 

“The 11 is the most intuitive of all numbers. It represents illumination; a channel to the subconscious; insight without rational thought; and sensitivity, nervous energy, shyness, and impracticality. It is a dreamer. The 11 has all the aspects of the 2, enhanced and charged with charisma, leadership, and inspiration. It is a number with inborn duality, which creates dynamism, inner conflict, and other catalyses’ with its mere presence. It is a number that, when not focused on some goal beyond itself, can be turned inward to create fears and phobias. The 11 walks the edge between greatness and self-destruction. Its potential for growth, stability, and personal power lies in its acceptance of intuitive understanding, and of spiritual truths. For the 11, such peace is not found so much in logic, but in faith. It is the psychic’s number.

“The 22 is the most powerful of all numbers. It is often called the Master Builder. The 22 can turn the most ambitious of dreams into reality. It is potentially the most successful of all numbers. It has many of the inspirational insights of the 11, combined with the practicality and methodical nature of the 4. It is unlimited, yet disciplined. It sees the archetype, and brings it down to earth in some material form. It has big ideas, great plans, idealism, leadership, and enormous self-confidence. If not practical, the 22s waste their potential… It must work toward the realization of goals that are larger than personal ambition. The 22 serves the world in a practical way.

“The 33 is the most influential of all numbers. It is the Master Teacher. The 33 combines the 11 and the 22 and brings their potential to another level. When expressed to the fullest, the 33 lacks all personal ambition, and instead focuses its considerable abilities toward the spiritual uplifting of mankind. What makes the 33 especially impressive, is the high level of sincere devotion. This is shown in its determination to seek understanding and wisdom before preaching to others. The 33 in full force is extremely rare…

“Another way to look at the Master numbers:

“The Master numbers 11, 22, and 33 represent a triangle. A triangle of Enlightenment

“The number 11 represents the vision

“The number 22 combines vision with action

“The number 33 offers guidance to the world…”

I think this explains why we need a further twenty-two groups working for a better world to add their energy to the project to bring the number to thirty-three. Returning to our discussion on the Sephirot and the Tree of Life, in view of the deeper meaning of the master numbers it is not surprising that there is also a great deal of information concealed within the archetypes and symbols of the ten Sephirot; the three interpretations for Chokmah, (Wisdom) Kether (Crown), and Malkuth (Kingdom) are only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Deciding the positioning of the partners on all three trees was determined through which Sephirot, Pillar and Level would best represent their energy and intent. However, in this treatise, I will only be addressing the placement of the original ten partners. (As we gather the remaining twenty-two, we will describe their placements accordingly at the end of article 4.) So starting at the top of the Tree let’s examine the Sephirot and its partner representative; always keeping in mind that the Sephirot are archetypes representing energies and different levels of consciousness and should not be seen as actual entities or deities.

At the top of the Tree of Life on the central pillar of Mildness in the Atziluth, Archetypal, or Fire Plane is the Sephirot Kether. Appropriately enough as well as representing the Alpha, Kether is also assigned to the Planet Uranus, which is the planet that rules the incoming Age of Aquarius. Robert Wang in his The Qabalistic Tarot: A Textbook of Mystical Philosophy says that “All of the Sephiroth must be approached intellectually before some intuition about their natures begins to develop.” Each Sephirot represent different and primary symbols, which for Kether is the Crown. He relates, “The Crown, in the microcosm, is our Essential Spirit.” In the macrocosm the crown represents the “Archetypal Man…who symbolizes the entire manifest Universe. Kether is the Crown above Creation, but it is also that from which all creation springs. For this reason, another of its prime symbols is the Point. The Point…represents total Unity. It is the seed from which the Universe grows…The journey of manifestation begins and ends with Kether…”

In the position of Kether or Crown we have a visual representation of Dr. Carol Sue Rosin’s energy as the driving force for the Peace Treaty banning all space-based weapons. The reason Carol’s energy represents Kether is because, to us her Treaty represents the most basic level of peace – non-conflict; therefore we knew she belonged at the top of the page “crowning” as it were our intent to bring peace to the world, by preventing the mentality of war spreading above all of our heads. If you are wondering about the term “level of peace”, I am referring to the article I wrote on the Peace Page called “The Multiple Levels of Peace”.

The first stop on the Line of Descent and also in the Atziluth or Archetypal Plane but on the pillar of Mercy is Chokmah meaning Wisdom. Robert Wang relates Chokmah is “…the first differentiation of the One.” Evidently Chokmah represents the masculine or active energy “at the most abstract level” Also he points out “The number two symbolizes the balance of opposites underlying all of material existence” In other words “Chokmah is the impetus for all manifestation” whereas Kether provides the impetus that originates with what he calls the “Root.” Another interesting point concerns the aspect of gender, not in the sense of man and woman, but rather as the masculine/active and feminine/passive energy. Wang explains, “To the Kabbalists Kether is ultimately androgynous, Chokmah is the idea of maleness and Binah is the idea of femaleness. We use the term idea here since at the exalted realm of the Supernal Triangle; there can be no sexuality as we understand it in our sphere of sensation. Maleness is described as a vital outpouring energy, which is organized, i.e., limited or formalized, by the qualities of femaleness…” He also stresses “The mysteries of the number two must be viewed as the interaction between opposites, found throughout the Tree of Life, and originated in the opposition of Chokmah and Binah… As change occurs in the energy of one Sephira, there is a natural balancing response in its opposite, an effect which is seen dramatically as the Sephiroth are applied to aspects of the microcosm…”

“The key to all systems, and to the Universal Pattern, is Chokmah, which may be considered the only ‘reality’ as opposed to Kether, which is not…It is rather like an electrical switch which is turned off in Kether and turned on in Chokmah. The power is potential in Kether, but it does not begin to function until the switch is turned on…We surpass thought and begin to function consciously with our inner dream-maker. Here it may be appreciated that when the Dreamer and the Dreamed (as we know ourselves) begin to cooperate, we acquire a control over what happens to our lives that is truly extraordinary…”

Chokmah is assigned to the Supernal Father, the Will to Force, the Great Stimulator and the entire Sphere of the Zodiac. We chose Tony Burroughs and his Vision Alignment Project to represent Chokmah or Wisdom, because Chokmah is the bridge between the potential and the first stage of manifestation. When you gaze on the bridge representing the intent of Tony and his Intenders think of them as acting like the Great Stimulator; through focusing their intent on visualizing a better world for us all, which is the first stage in bringing Heaven to the Earth, so to speak.

Moving horizontally across the tree to the pillar of Severity, but still in Atziluth or the Archetypal Fire Plane the Line of Descent reaches Binah. Robert Wang says that “…Binah is the…energy from which all life emerges. It is the Great Womb, the Supernal Mother to which all religions make reference in some way. It is also the completion of the Supernal Triangle, which began as the point in Kether, emanated to Chokmah as the line, and emerges with Binah as the triangle…” Wang tells us that “One of the most important attributions of Binah is Chronos, oldest of the Gods and called “Father Time”…Binah, Understanding, is called the Sanctifying Intelligence, and the “Parent of Faith.”…Binah is the discipline of organization behind faith. Reason, science and intellectuality, all disciplines of organization, are the fullest development of the Binah energy…”

As well as the Supernal Mother, the Will to Form and the Great Sea Binah represents the Sacred Planet Saturn. This Sephirot is represented by Lucas Slayer and the Lothlorien Center, because Lucas demonstrated great “Understanding.” We see this by his recognizing the need to connect the ancient wisdom carried by the indigenous tribal elders and the modern scientific understanding. Lucas achieved this connection when he invited the biologist Dr. Calleman to lead a global meditation for Peace in the presence of multiple elders from all over the world.

As stated, floating between the Archetypal Plane and the Mental Plane is the mysterious non-Sephirot known as Daath. Daath is referred to as a non-Sephirot, because of its ethereal quality. Here Daath is represented by the equally mysterious symbol of Hunab-Ku, which I am sure I do not need to remind you is symbol that represents the Cosmic Tree of Life at the center of the Universe. We could not think of a more appropriate partner as a representative in this position than the brilliant work of Dr. Calleman. Consider Ms. Fortune’s description or Daath above and compare that with and Hunab-Ku representing the Cosmic Tree of Life macrocosm (largest sun) reflected in the microcosmic cellular tree (atom). Both also represent doorways - star-gates, or the means and way for us to evolve to the next level.

Following the Descent of Power down and across to the pillar of Mercy is the pillar’s name Sephirot representative, Chesed meaning Mercy. Chesed is in the Plane of Briah or the Creative Plane. Robert Wang says that “Chesed is the Demiurge (the Lesser Creator) which is actually the Power described in the Book of Genesis…In Chesed is found the beginning of manifestation, the externalization of the combined potencies of the Supernals. It is the initial urge toward material structure …and …the administrator of the Laws first proposed by Binah.” Evidently, “Chesed is Chokmah on a lower arc, from which emanated the pure from Binah…Chesed is Mercy. Geburah is Strength. Chesed, related to Jupiter, is a Mighty King. He is the kindly and benevolent ruler…”

The partner, or should I say partners who represents Chesed is David Russell and Ingrid Freitag and their Global Brain Project. This is because their project is focused on harnessing the power of the collective consciousness and we cannot think of a better representative for “…the externalization of the combined potencies of the Supernals” or “…the initial urge toward material structure…”

Moving laterally back to the pillar of Severity on the left immediately below Binah in the Plane of Briah, the Mental or Air Plane is the Sephirot Geburah. Geburah meaning strength and representing among other things, the Warrior, the Power of Judgment, the Clarifier, and Eliminator of the Useless and is assigned to the Sacred Planet Mars. Robert Wang says that “Geburah is the perfect balance of Chesed. As Chesed builds up, Geburah tears down. As Chesed is loving and merciful, Geburah is terrible and demanding of due.

Wang relates the Kabbalists believed, “The fifth Sephira, called Strength…offers a necessary corrective in our lives by tearing away all that is useless, undesirable or outdated…Thus is Mars, the Planet as well as the Roman God of War, attributed to Geburah…Geburah is a strict discipline which is ultimately necessary and positive, and which serves well those who appreciate its virtue… Any five-sided symbol may be related to Geburah, one of which is the Pentagon, and another of which is the Pentagram…It is only through the relentless self-discipline of Geburah that the Elemental points of the Pentagram may be brought into perfect balance in the individual…In Geburah is a certification that the true forces of the Individual are under control of the Spirit represented by the uppermost point of the Pentagram…The experience has been described as a devastating immersion in the Fires of Truth, where all that is unworthy is burned away. It has also been described as a brutal silence of self-assessment.

Geburah is represented by the Reverend Zen Benefiel. Zendor or Zen as he prefers to be called life’s mission is to shake things up, in order to eventually bring harmony. He forces people seeking the Truth to first examine their motives and then to question everything. As the representative of our galactic brothers and sisters, Zen offers a new way to view our purpose in life. He is a Partner in Peace because his ultimate goal is in furthering the development of higher consciousness and the collective awakening of the Human Race in finding their place within the Cosmos.

From Geburah the Line of Descent moves diagonally across the page from Geburah through the central pillar of Mildness and the Sephirot Tiphareth to the pillar of Mercy where it drops into the next Plane of Yetzirah. In Yetzirah, which is also known as the Astral, Water or Emotional Plane we find the Sephirot Netzach, meaning Victory. Netzach is associated with the Sacred Planet Venus. It is interesting to hear how the Kabbalists viewed Netzach.

Robert Wang informs us “Netzach begins the Astral Triangle, and is the first of the Sephirot making up the Personality. The Personality is viewed as being composed of four Elements, each of which is represented by one of the lower Sephirot…Netzach cannot be considered without Hod, its balance and opposite; for as Netzach represents the instincts and emotions, Hod represents the intellect…It is through the proper balance of feeling and reason that one is able to rise, on the Middle Pillar, to the higher consciousness of Tiphareth…Netzach …must be approached from the standpoints of both the Macrocosm and the Microcosm…Netzach is the undifferentiated Soul of Mankind, often described as the “Group Mind”. The spark of the individual mind…is a part of that group which, as it becomes self-comprehending, also comprehends the whole. For example, Netzach is the area on the Tree of Life to which the arts, music, painting, poetry, etc., are attributed…Netzach is the Sephira to which the forces of Nature are attributed…Netzach is also the sphere of Venus-Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. And as the title of the Sephira is Victory, it is to be understood the Victory is in love…In Netzach we are considering a Sephira on the masculine pillar with a female goddess attached to it. However the attribution of specific sexual characteristics labeled “male” and “female” is appropriate only to our own sphere of sensation. What is found in Netzach is the interplay of Mars and Venus…symbolized by the Rose…”

The Sephirot that represents among other things the planet of Love Venus is appropriately represented by Yaron Farzan and his group Planet Love who believe we should rename Earth the Planet Love. In support of this Yaron reminds us “The words we use to define our world directly influence how we live in it. When we speak words that possess the highest and best meaning, we create for ourselves a world that reflects the meaning imbued in these words. And what is higher than Love? Shouldn’t ‘love’ be the word we all use to describe our home? When we speak the word ‘love’ to describe our world, we generate the experience of all that which love means. Imagine everyone speaking the word ‘love’ every time we speak of the planet on which we live.”

Moving laterally back across the page to the pillar of Severity and still in the Plane of Yetzirah, Astral, Emotional or Water Plane is the Sephirot Hod meaning Splendor. Hod apart from representing the planet Mercury is also associated with Reason, the Individual Mind, and Science. Robert Wang says that “Hod is the concrete mind. It is the sphere of Mercury, and to it are attributed all that is intellectually systematized, such as the magical arts, literature, science and commerce…In the human personality the Fire of Netzach is the animal intuition, while the Water of Hod is the concrete, rational, mind…The Tarot, often called the ‘Book of Thoth,’ is referred to Hod.” Wang explains that the various names of Thoth (Egyptian), Hermes (Greek) and Mercury (Roman) are merely alternative names for the same deity. He continues, “Each is a messenger, patron of learning and teacher of the mysteries. All language (a carrier of messages) relates to Hod…language is the faithful companion of the student of the Mysteries. Words of power are his greatest instrument. …the Words of Power of Hod are only effective when they are projected with the intense feelings of Netzach. In other words, the dynamic energy of Netzach is brought to bear through the vehicle of the words…Form is limitation…This limitation takes the form of both language and visual image, which are a far more interchangeable currency than some might believe…For this reason, the Hermaphrodite is the magical image of Hod. …we use the forces of Hod whenever we immerse ourselves in the documents of the Mysteries, or whenever we approach anything intellectually…The principle of the practical Qabalah is that we turn our conscious attention toward a particular aspect of ourselves, and thereby gain access to the corresponding part of the greater Universe.” Ultimately “…we function consciously at the highest level which our spiritual development will allow.”

Appropriately, the position of Hod is held by Gary Voss and his Green-Aid-Now project. Gary’s foundation is focused on supporting, as he says international humanitarian objectives, Intentional Communities, artistic events and edutainment that promote sustainable and healthy living; by procuring, developing, and providing integrated systems for clean air, water, energy, permaculture, ecotecture, waste utilization, human and cargo transportation. This would have been seen as magical in ancient times and worthy of the Mysteries. Consequently, Gary and his project are clearly representing the “reasonable” and “scientific” to us.

The next stop for the Line of Descent from Hod is in the center of the Plane of Yetzirah on the central pillar of Mildness. Here we find the Sephirot Yesod meaning Foundation. Yesod is associated with the Astral Light, the Storehouse of Images, and the Cyclic Energies underlying Matter. It is assigned to the Sacred Planet the Moon. Robert Wang says that “In Yesod are those energies, directly underlying the material world, which are manipulated in various forms of meditation and in what is called “Magic.” These currents are known as the Astral Light or Akashic Fluid…The Astral Light has often been described as an electrical or magnetic current…It is mentally malleable…it is the raw material from which visual images are built on the Astral Plane. Each individual has an Etheric Body …formed of the Astral Light. Thus, Yesod is termed the Foundation. It is that which activates the Four Elements of Malkuth, repeating a pattern seen throughout the entire Tree, beginning at Kether: four elements, which are rooted in a fifth…the Astral Light, weaves back and forth. It follows distinct cycles, which underlie and activate the cycles of our physical existence…Thus, it is truly said that one cannot deal with Malkuth without first understanding Yesod. And of course, by extension of this idea, one cannot deal with Yesod without first understanding Hod. Parenthetically, it is to Yesod that parapsychological research is directed, since it is possible to use some of the current tools of science to quantify its effect on the sensory plane…Binah is the Great Sea, and is Isis. This is the Universal Unconscious from which all form ultimately develops. As Binah is the will to form, so Yesod is the storehouse of formal images directly behind our conscious experience…

This pivotal position on the Tree is represented by the Gaiafield Project that energetically represents the Occupy Movement. From the first time I heard of the Occupy movement, I felt they should be represented on the map of world peacemakers. Of course, there are many connected to Occupy that are on the map. Nonetheless, with the Bridge to Peace Project and the Partners in Peace Page I knew we needed to represent Occupy not as an activist movement, but rather energetically and consciously; then I received a mass e-mail from one of our directors containing the article  "Occupy Gaia in 2012: Subtle Activism meets Street Activism" being distributed by David Nicol. When I read the words “Subtle activism is a bridge between the inner world of spirituality and the outer world of activism”, I knew we had found the energetic connection to Occupy we were looking for and the partner for Yesod.

Positioning the Gaiafield Project on the tree in the Sephirot Yesod’s position made perfect sense. Not only is Yesod the 9th Sephirot and means Foundation, but it also lies just above the Earth Plane and Malkuth meaning Kingdom. I cannot think of a better representative for the Gaiafield Project than the position of watching over the physical world in the Astral Plane.

I will leave discussing the representatives of the remaining two Sephirot on the Tree until later, but there are just two more important points I need to stress. The first is that although the description of the Sephirot and the Tree of Life is from the Kabbalistic viewpoint, apart from representing the Greek and Roman Pantheon and the Solar System the Sephirot can represent any number of world systems involving an archetypal hierarchy. For instance, to give you some examples they can represent the Maya twenty Sun – Day gods, the Hindu deities, the Norse Pantheon, and the Angelic hierarchy. They can also represent the elements and natural forces; including the African, Polynesian, Maori, Aboriginal, and Native American various nature spirits. As I said, it is vital that when viewing the Sephirot that we always keep in mind they represent archetypes; especially when they are connected to specific “gods” or spirits. Above all else, the Sephirot are in no way to be considered as representing any form of personal deity. Rather the Sephirot compile the energies of multiple levels of disciplines; including astrology, sacred geometry, numerology, color and mythology to name but a few that we can use for our spiritual development.

The second important point is that in the past the Sephirot energies were used for magical practices. At this time, the Sephirot had both a benevolent and malevolent side to them. The Sephiroth’s malevolent side, according to Dionne Fortune was referred to as the Qlippoth. Nonetheless, like any force how their energies were used depended on the motivation and intent of the magician or priest who was calling on them. It could be extremely dangerous to call on powerful energies without understanding, which is why the initiates and guardians of the Mysteries closely guarded the secret rituals from the general population. The danger for the novice in dabbling in the energies of the Sephirot existed right up until September 22nd 2010. (I will explain why later).

I see the Sephirot as archetypes that represent tools to help me focus on different aspects of my journey of discovery. I found it best not to try to quantify their roles, rather just allow the archetypal images to allow my mind to open. In doing this I was able to begin seeing the world as energy and consciousness and understand that in the past we had sent ourselves clues through the archetypes and symbols of the Tree of Life. Now I want to address how this page is connected to the Living Knowledge page.
return to top list

How the Partners in Peace Page is connected to the Living Knowledge Page?

Above the Tree of Life on the Living Knowledge Page is a visual representation of the vortex connecting the planes of existence, which we were moved to create in the summer of 2010. In the “vortex” is the archetypal symbol of the Universal Christ, the Sun and immerging and descending onto the “Tree” is the archetypal symbol of the Divine Feminine, a white dove. However, like so many symbols and archetypes on our web site, they often have more than one meaning.

Naturally, the symbol of a dove is universally recognized to represent peace and the Sun is also recognized as a symbol for both Light and life. Without going into this too deeply, as it is covered extensively on the web site, I identified the Life-Principle within all matter as the Christ-consciousness and of course the Christ is often referred to as the Light, as in “I am the Life and the Light”. Nonetheless, in this case the symbols represent the union between the spirit and matter, or the Macrocosm with the microcosm, which involves the physical location of the web site in Tacoma, Washington.

I related how I learned of the significance of situating our work in Washington State in Full Circle: The Mysteries Uncloaked Globe D; below are the most relevant excerpts:

“Before I came to the US, I was often confused by the two Washingtons in America. At the time I was not clear that one Washington was a state…According to Mr. Ovason apart from the constellation Virgo, Washington D.C. was also aligned to the constellation Cancer. He relates that ‘In many Hermetic systems, this quintessential dimension of space is linked with the zodiacal sign.’ It seems that hermeticists viewed Cancer as representing ‘a sort of gateway between higher and lower worlds.’ In this way Cancer facilitates a soul’s descent into the physical plane. Mr. Ovason believes the concept of Cancer as a midway ‘point between two worlds’ has always held water with esotericists and has been maintained in the ‘symbolism of art.’ The sigil for Cancer in itself depicts the idea of the Macrocosm mirroring the Microcosm, only he points out that there is a ‘space between’ the two elements of the sigil which dates back two millennia. The ‘sigil’ of Cancer— reveals how the consciousness of Washington D.C. was connected to Washington State:

Looking at the sigil if you imagine the bottom circle as representing Washington D.C., then the upper circle would represent Washington State. If you join the two tails, so to speak then they form a circle, linking both Washingtons and uniting the union…”

Again to cut a long story short, which is discussed in detail in the aforementioned writings, the energy was changed in Washington D.C. necessitating a shift to its reflection in Washington State. This became all the more relevant when I learned of the presence of a physical reflection located in Western Washington:

“On first learning the ‘Light’ had shifted the energy and consciousness of its plan for America to Washington State, I had wondered why. To me the logical move would have been to move north to the original landing site of the Puritans. But the simple answer is that the northeast of the US did not contain a way to reflect the Mystery of Washington D.C. While talking about my dilemma as to the connection between Washington D.C, and Mt. Rainier to our dear friend and co-director Guy, he mentioned the popular legend of the three mountains Mt. Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Hood forming a triangle. This made me think of the importance of the triangle formed by the Capitol Building, the White House and the Washington Monument. However, when I looked at a map, the triangle formed by these three mountains did not match the triangle formed in D.C., furthermore, Mt. Hood was not in the State of Washington.

“Visualizing the D.C triangle, I knew that one of the points needed to be at least twice the distance from the other two points. I suspected that Mt. Rainer and Mt. St. Helens were two points of the triangle, but I could not find the third; that is until I remembered that the Cascades are not the only Mountain Range in Washington, there are also the Olympic Range of Mountains. Moving my search to the Olympic Mountains, I almost fell off my chair. There in the range was Mount Olympus named after its Greek counterpart, which was in Greek Mythology the ‘Home of the gods.’ Drawing a line between all three mountains, an almost identical triangle to the one in D.C appeared.

“The most amazing thing was that the three mountains in Washington State matched up to the three buildings in Washington D.C. In aligning both triangles with one another, the tallest Mountain, Mt. Rainier aligned with the tallest building the Washington Monument, the next highest mountain, Mt. Olympus aligned with the Capitol and the lowest mountain, Mt. St. Helens aligned with the White House. If this wasn’t enough the line connecting Mt. Rainier, which represents the star Spica in Virgo, with Mt. Olympus passes directly through the site for the Know Thyself Initiative.

“Feeling that it would be important to show what I had discovered, I asked Craig to overlay two triangles for the maps I found from MapQuest side-by-side. During the process we were given an amazing gift; but first let me share with you the process used. Having seen the possible connection in my atlas; on the MapQuest web site I typed in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to get a map of the Federal Triangle. Zooming out to the scale of 1200 feet per inch I printed out the map. Then I typed in the location for the Know Thyself Initiative in Washington State and again zoomed out until I could see all 3 mountains. Obviously, the scale had to be different as it covered a far greater area. The scale was 18 miles per inch, which is 79.20 times the scale of the Federal Triangle. Giving Craig the maps, as they were not in color, he reprinted them and then scanned them. I will let Craig explain what happened next: ‘Both maps were then imported into my graphics program. Over the Washington D.C. map I drew a triangle connecting the three points of interest. I cloned (copied) that triangle and placed it on the Washington State map and repositioned that exact triangle to cover the 4 points of interest. To my amazement that exact triangle, after moving and rotating it on the map, covered the 4 points without any changes to the triangle other than the position.’ Both of us wondered about the odds of the exact same triangle for the Federal Triangle in Washington D.C. fitting a different scale map for 3 mountains in Washington State. (Recalling that the state was named for George Washington)”

I summed up my conclusions in the final section of the above mentioned Full Circle: which brought in the deeper levels involved. The amazing thing was how all of the pieces would come together in the connection between the Living Knowledge page, the Partners in Peace page and the World map of Peacemakers:

“…there was one more question I had left to ask. “Why if obelisks (Full Circle: Part One) represented the ‘Shadow’ did the Founding Fathers use one in the Federal Triangle?” Then I was reminded of how in Section 8 I wrote that Gian Bernini had transmuted the energy of the obelisks in Rome through manipulating the elements/emotions. Suddenly, I understood what the founders’ achieved; they aligned the Washington Monument with the most powerful star, Spica, which literally represents The Divine Feminine and The Universal Christ. As obelisks represented the World Soul before his cleansing in Globe D, an obelisk’s energy could be transmuted and used by the ‘Light.’ Brilliantly this is exactly what the founders did; they usurped a tool of the ‘Shadow’ to benefit Humanity. With this realization the connection of Washington D.C. to Washington State was brought in.”

To reiterate, David Ovason related hermeticists viewed Cancer as representing “a sort of gateway between higher and lower worlds.” To me, this point reveals as I said:

“The founders had mirrored the skies on the ground by placing 3 key buildings in exact alignment with 3 stars to form the Federal Triangle; symbolizing the axiom As, above, so Below, or the Microcosm (ground) mirroring the Macrocosm (sky). Nonetheless, with the 3 mountains of Washington State exactly reflecting the Federal Triangle, a third component was brought in; only this one is natural not man-made… Accepting that Washington D.C. represents the Microcosm and the 3 stars, the Macrocosm, then the 3 mountains would be the bridge between the two. This makes sense as the site of the Know Thyself Initiative (KTI) falls within the 3 mountains triangle and as I said demonstrates ‘the sacred relic of the palladium has become the energy and consciousness of Wisdom…’ Consequently, I believe Washington State was always intended to be connected to Washington D.C. to reveal The Mysteries. Moreover, by making the obelisk in D.C. reflect Mt. Rainier; the closest mountain to the site of the Know Thyself Initiative, the energy connection is even greater. KTI acting as the bridge between the Macrocosm and the Microcosm is epitomized by its existing in the mass consciousness (web) or Mind-Stuff between spirit and matter.”

The connection of the axiom As Above; so below and As below; so above between the two pages is further enhanced with the appearance of the two pyramids in the central position of the Sephirot Tiphareth or Beauty. This brings me to the fourth question:
return to top list

Why are there two pyramids at the center of the Partners in Peace Page?

In the discussion above concerning the Partners in Peace Page and their positions on the Tree of Life I skipped two Sephirot placements; Tiphareth and Malkuth. This was because both of these Sephirot involve the emergence of a new kingdom. But before I discuss this, let’s see how the Kabbalists describe these two Sephirot. I will get to Tiphareth later, but as Malkuth is the only one that has a partner connected to it, I will start with this unique Sephirot.

Malkuth lies at the very bottom of the Tree of Life and is the final destination in the Line of Descent. It is unique because it is the only Sephirot to occupy a Plane alone. As you have observed, the three previous planes each contain three Sephirot, but only Malkuth, which means Kingdom is in the Earth or Physical Plane of Assiah. However, it’s importance for me lies in the fact that Malkuth is also the point where the Life-Principle ascends back up the tree along the Path of the Arrow to Daath, where it goes through to emerge in the Kether of the next Sephiroth’s tree. But let’s see what else the Kabbalists attribute to Malkuth.

Not surprisingly Malkuth represents the Earth on which we walk. However, it also represents Kether below and the Completion. Robert Wang says that “Malkuth is the most complicated” of all the Sephirot. Kether is the most simple. And yet, applying the principle of “As above, so below,” we appreciate that Kether is in Malkuth and Malkuth is in Kether…to Malkuth is assigned the virtue of discrimination…

The Qabalah teaches that …unless we learn the lessons of Malkuth there can be no lasting progress beyond… The lesson of Malkuth, is the balance of the four aspects of the Personality…The Personality must be totally readjusted and rebalanced after each new spiritual experience, a process which takes place in Malkuth. The waking consciousness is reintegrated as self-perspective changes…Malkuth is the Sphere where the elements are ultimately based. They intermingle to produce the stability, which we know as matter…Malkuth…is a receptacle for all of the energies of the Tree. They feed into Malkuth, and are grounded in its stability. …The difference between Malkuth and other Sephirot is that it is self-contained in the same way as is Kether…Insofar as Malkuth is the Earth, it is active and productive …It is a continuous cycle…But this cycle becomes ever tighter, pulling closer to Kether with each downward and then upward swing. There must eventually come a point in the evolution of the Spirit of Mankind, where the Tree of Life no longer describes our Universe.”

The choice for the partner assigned to Malkuth concerns my earlier statement that Tiphareth and Malkuth represent the emergence of a new kingdom. Therefore before I identify the partner I need to address what I meant by that statement. Acknowledging that Science recognizes the four kingdoms, of Mineral, Vegetable, Animal and Human, the obvious conclusion might be that I am referring to the next stage in evolution, as in the future that Ancient Wisdom described as “super-human.” Interestingly, this conclusion is both correct and incorrect. It is correct because it does concern the super-human, but it is incorrect because I am not speaking of the future; this kingdom is emerging right now. Let me explain.

As I said, with the new understanding of quantum theory more of us understand that we literally create our reality from our thoughts and emotions. Since the early seventies many of us have become fascinated with crystals and Sacred Geometry. Through the work of people like Melody and the authors of Crystalline Communion, Collen Marquist and Jack Frasl we have come to know the unique properties of the crystal kingdom. Today, most people if not actually owning a crystal are familiar with them. Nonetheless, it was the recent re-emergence of a discovery from the 1930s that would lead to the new understanding and the emergence of a new kingdom. This discovery concerned the mysterious force of Chi, Qui or as it was termed then Orgone.

To give a little background on this term for those unfamiliar with it, I will accede to one of my favorite resources Wikipedia. Under the term Orgone, we find the following excerpt:

Orgone energy is a theory originally proposed in the 1930s by Wilhelm Reich. Reich, originally part of Sigmund Freud's Vienna circle, extrapolated the Freudian concept of libido first as a biophysical and later as a universal life force. In its final conception, developed by Reich's student Charles Kelly after Reich's death, Orgone was conceived as the anti-entropic principle of the universe, a creative substratum in all of nature comparable to Mesmer's animal magnetism, the Odic force of Carl Reichenbach and Henri Bergson's élan vital. Orgone was seen as a massless, omnipresent substance, similar to luminiferous aether, but more closely associated with living energy than inert matter. It could coalesce to create organization on all scales, from the smallest microscopic units—called bions in orgone theory—to macroscopic structures like organisms, clouds, or even galaxies.

Reich's theories held that deficits or constrictions in bodily orgone were at the root of many diseases - and in particular cancer - similar to the way in which deficits or constrictions in the libido could produce neuroses in Freudian theory. He created the Orgone Institute to pursue research into orgone energy after he emigrated to the US, and used it to publish literature and distribute material relating to the topic for more than a decade. Reich designed special "orgone accumulators" - devices which ostensibly collected orgone energy from the atmosphere - for purposes as diverse as improvement of general health, increase sexual potency, and weather control. Ultimately, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) obtained a federal injunction barring the interstate distribution of orgone-related materials, on the grounds that Reich and his associates were making false and misleading claims, and later jailed Reich and destroyed all orgone-related materials at the institute after Reich violated the injunction.

Orgone is regarded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine as a type of "putative energy", a model which some therapists use for clinical procedures, but which is untestable or defies measurement. There is no empirical support for the concept of orgone in medicine or the physical sciences, and research into the concept ceased with the end of the Institute.

It is difficult to nail down exactly how and when an interest in Orgone began to resurface in modern times. The entry for Orgone on Wikipedia relates that:

The new wave '80s band Devo claimed that their iconic energy dome design was used to recycle the wasted orgone energy that flows from a person's head. Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh has said,

'We did the red energy dome, which was useful—besides being an icon -- it was a useful icon. You probably know this very well, but your orgone energy goes out the top of your head and it dissipates out the top, but if you wear an energy dome it recycles that energy. It comes back down and showers back down on you and, among other things, you remain manly, shall we say, for maybe another 150 years of your life, probably. I think that's a safe prediction to say that energy domes -- if you wore them constantly, night and day -- which I don't do, but there are people out there who do, not too many of them but there are some. We get e-mails from them, so we know they're out there, those people will probably live about an extra 150 years because of all that orgone energy that they're saving and not wasting away.'

Accepting that it is highly unlikely that Orgone would lead to someone living another 150 years, is there anything of value in working with Orgone? I first became familiarized with the term Orgone through one of our Close Associates and dear friend Judith. She had explained that hundreds of people were taking “Organite” devices to polluted areas, such as rivers and lakes and placing them in the said areas in order to cleanse them. Apparently these dedicated individuals were also placing “Organite” devices around pylons and cell towers to mitigate the harmful effects of these structures.

Curious I investigated and visited one of the sites Judith recommended called “Organite-world” which was full of simply beautiful structures filled with crystals, minerals and metals. Each piece was unique and was made with the express purpose of rebalancing the Orgone, which was surrounding us all and was in all organic matter. I discovered that the Orgone was out of balance because of human interaction with the natural world. Jay, the creator of the web site explained and demonstrated how holding a structure of “Organite” affects the energy field known as the aura. This reminded me of the belief that every living thing emits an energy field know as chi or prana. Some people refer to this energy in humans as the Kundalini; however I found this term to be misleading. So is Orgone the same? I found the entry for energy below on Wikipedia that sums up this concept:

The term energy has been widely used by writers and practitioners of various esoteric forms of spirituality and alternative medicine to refer to a variety of phenomena. Such "energy" is often seen as a continuum that unites body and mind. The term "energy" also has a scientific context, and the scientific foundations of "physical energy" are often confused or misused to justify a connection to a scientific basis for physical manifestations, properties, detectability or sensing of "psychic energy" and other physic phenomenon where no presently known scientific basis exists. It is sometimes conceived of as a universal life force running within and between all things, as in some forms of vitalism, doctrines of subtle bodies or concepts such as qi, prana, or kundalini. Spiritual energy is often closely associated with the metaphor of life as breath - the words 'qi', 'prana', and 'spirit', for instance, are all related in their respective languages to the verb 'to breathe'. Sometimes it is equated with the movement of breath in the body, sometimes described as visible "auras", "rays", or "fields" or as audible or tactile "vibrations". These are often held to be perceptible to anyone, though this may be held to require training or sensitization through various practices.

Over the years I had spent considerable time in researching energy and had discovered some interesting information. I wrote about this in the aforementioned thesis Full Circle: Below is an excerpt from the section 7a covering the period from 1300 – 1558. I will first address the mysterious force referred to as kundalini and why I have misgivings about it. Due to space I have condensed my thoughts, but you can read the entire section on our site (link):

“…An aspect that grew from the misunderstanding of Tantricism was the practice known as Tantric Sex. This “religious” practice concerns the awakening or the method for raising the Kundalini. The Kundalini according to its entry on Wikipedia is:

Kundalini can be awakened through the grace of a Siddha-Guru who awakens the kundalini Shakti of his discipline through shaktipat, or blessing. A Siddha Guru is a spiritual teacher, a master, whose identification with the supreme Self is uninterrupted. Like every form of energy one must also learn to understand spiritual energy. In order to be able to integrate this spiritual energy, careful purification and strengthening of the body and nervous system are required beforehand…
The arousing of kundalini is said to be the one and only way of attaining Divine Wisdom. Self-Realization is said to be equivalent to Divine Wisdom or Gnosis or what amounts to the same thing: Self-Knowledge. The awakening of the Kundalini shows itself as "awakening of inner knowledge" and brings with itself pure joy, pure knowledge and pure love…
Tantra is the worship of Shakti, the divine mother. Shakti is also referred to as Prakriti, or primordial nature. To ensure that nature (Prakriti) would always maintain the connection to the divine original consciousness (Purusha), the force of attraction developed as an aspect of Prakriti. The desire for union and the striving for expansion are "natural"; they are intrinsic impulses of nature…
Sir John Woodroffe (pen name Arthur Avalon) was one of the first to bring the notion of Kundalini to the West. As High Court Judge in Calcutta, he became interested in Shaktism and Hindu Tantra. His translation of and commentary on two key texts was published as The Serpent Power. Woodroffe rendered Kundalini as "Serpent Power" for lack of a better term in the English language but "kundala" in Sanskrit means "coiled".

“Coincidentally, while I was working on this thesis, we read P.D. Ouspensky’s –IN SEARCH OF the MIRACULOUS, FRAGMENTS OF AN UNKNOWN TEACHING. It was in this book that I gained a greater insight into why I had been steered away from Tantric Buddhism. The book contains teaching from a Russian mystic known as ‘G’ recounted by his pupil the author P.D. Ouspensky. Although I should state that as the book’s teachings were centered during WWI, obviously some of ‘G’s’ information needs to be updated. With that said, I found some of ‘G’s’ insights astounding, which was why I understood my reticence with the interpretation of Tantric Buddhism. My new understanding came with ‘G’s’ comments on the Kundalini:

‘In so-called ‘occult’ literature you have probably met with the expression ‘Kundalini,’ ‘the fire of Kundalini,’ or the ‘serpent of Kundalini’…used to designate some kind of strange force which is present in man and can be awakened…Sometimes it is connected with sex…that is with the idea of using sex energy for other purposes, with sex energy…In reality Kundalini is the power of imagination, the power of fantasy, which takes the place of a real function. When a man dreams instead of acting… it is the force of Kundalini acting in him… Kundalini is a force put into men in order to keep them in their present state…Kundalini is the force that keeps them in a hypnotic state.’

“…So if we are not supposed to awaken the Kundalini, then what is it we are meant to awaken? In other words, what did The Buddha awaken in His experience under the Bodhi tree?

“…I wanted to know which force within us we were supposed to awaken. Obviously, the true self is the Spirit or Spark of God, but that lies within our heart and does not need to be awakened and raised up the spine. Then I remembered the mystical practice of Hieros Gamos that was wrongly connected to physical sex. The true purpose of hieros gamos was to raise the sex-force to the head or mental level. I knew that this was a crucial part of the transformation of the ego… but again I asked if not the Kundalini or the Spirit then what do we raise.

“It was the mention that The Buddha experienced His past lives as an insect, an animal and a human being that unlocked the answer to what force we need to awaken. The documentary related that The Buddha’s enlightenment entailed His realizing that He had lived multiple lives, switching from each category several times. As I knew that Universal Law dictates that we cannot regress to lower kingdoms of Life, I knew that there was something I was missing. Suddenly it dawned on me that The Buddha was not just experiencing His past lives, but the entire existence of the Life-Principle. With this flash of insight, I was reminded of the name for the second or sacral chakra associated with the sex-force I reported in LCD. In the various systems the chakras are known by different names, but in LCD I reported the name of the second chakra as Prana, which translates as Life. I decided to look up the word on Wikipedia:

In Vedantic philosophy, prana is the notion of a vital, life-sustaining force of living beings and vital energy, comparable to the Chinese notion of Qi. Prana is a central concept in Ayurveda and Yoga where it is believed to flow through a network of fine subtle channels called nadis. It’s most subtle material form is the breath, but is also to be found in blood, and it’s most concentrated form is semen in men and vaginal fluid in women…
Prana was first expounded in the Upanishads, where it is part of the worldly, physical realm, sustaining the body and the mother of thought and thus also of the mind. Prana suffuses all living forms but is not itself the Atman or individual soul. In the Ayurveda, the Sun and sunshine are held to be a source of Prana.

“Although the entry relates the Atman to the individual soul, I feel it is more appropriately associated to the Spirit. Nonetheless, the description of Prana as the ‘vital, life-sustaining force of living beings and vital energy’ reveals the role it plays in organic life. However, the description that prana is ‘part of the worldly, physical realm, sustaining the body and the mother of thought and thus also of the mind’ describes Prana’s action in the world. The identification of Prana as the force that needs to be awakened and raised within us is explained by the fact that Prana ‘suffuses all living forms.’ The Universal Christ created the Life-Principle and infused it with His essence to develop with the consciousness through evolution. At the human level that essence is the Christ-consciousness that lies dormant within us until awakened.
“Put even more simply, the Christ-consciousness within us is the ability to create life as in procreation. It is important to understand that the so-called sex-force is misleading, because it has nothing to do with physical arousal. It literally is the mysterious life-force that actually creates life through the union of the sperm and the ova.
“The Buddha and The Christ through The Mysteries taught that in order to transform, an individual needed to temporarily convert his or her life-giving force in the form of the Christ-consciousness into a spiritually transforming force by awakening and raising the Christ-conscious up the spine to the mental level.”

The above information had led me to understand that the mysterious energy emanating from all living things, not to mention crystals was nothing more than the actual Life-principle and creative Life-force we are destined to use to create the new reality of Heaven on Earth. Having identified Orgone as simply another name for that energy, I realized what was happening; we had reached the stage where we were beginning to co-create and this first step was to bring forth a new kingdom. So again, why do I say a “new kingdom” rather than utilizing one of the already established? However, before I get to that I should explain why the word “Organite” is in quotation marks.
The term “Organite” was apparently coined by a man named Karl Wehls who trademarked it and he has been contacting people using it relating his displeasure at using the term without his permission. First as will become evident I do not believe the term adequately describes the complex and unique structures that use Orgone, because it implies like a crystal; for instance the name malachite that it is of a certain category with specific characteristics. This is not the case with the way Orgone is used today. But more especially, hundreds of people have purchased the pieces made by the practitioners working with the Orgone devices with the intent to help heal the world. Consequently, the term “Organite” has become associated with ego and selfishness rather than as it should be associated to altruism and spirit. Therefore I will only use the term Orgone in respect to the Bridge to Peace Project.

• Resonating with this Jay has completely restructured his web site, renaming it Orgone Vortex.

Back to the reason why I stated a new kingdom is emerging. To understand this statement we need to look at how an Orgone device is constructed. As I am not an Orgone practitioner, I beg your indulgence if I don’t fully explain the process. As I understand it the practitioner first creates a mold of the desired shape and intuitively selects the various elements to go in the device. These can generally include different whole crystals, ground up crystals, minerals and various metals. These elements are then arranged in the mold and a resin poured into the mold to secure the items and left to harden.

In learning of how these Orgone devices were made, I felt that these were so much more powerful in effect than the different crystals encased in the devices. Contemplating how they differed, I was curious to how the dictionary described the different elements including Orgone. Looking it up in the American Heritage College Dictionary 4th Edition 20002 we found the definitions below:

ORGONE: A theoretical universal life force emanating from all organic material that purportedly can be used to restore psychological well-being

MINERAL: A naturally occurring homogeneous inorganic solid substance having a definite chemical composition and characteristic crystalline structure, color, and hardness.

CRYSTAL: (a) A homogenous solid formed by a repeating three-dimensional pattern of atoms, ions, or molecules and having fixed distances between constituent parts. (b) The unit cell of such a pattern.

METAL: Any of a category of electropositive elements that usually have a shiny surface, are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, and can be melted or fused, hammered into thin sheets, or drawn into wires.

From the definitions above, it seemed clear to me that whether the modern day Orgone practitioners realized it or not they were bringing together the three aspects of the mineral kingdom and infusing it with the vegetable, animal and human kingdoms. I say this because Orgone is identified as “theoretical universal life force emanating from all organic material.” I am sure I do not need to mention that “organic material” includes all plant, animal and human life. Consequently, I intuitively feel this new kingdom should be called Orgoneral because it combines crystal, mineral, and metal. In the position of Malkuth or Kingdom on the tree is appropriately a beautiful expression of our final Partner (s) in Peace Jay and Susan Yaws.

Nonetheless Jay and his wife Susan are also connected to Tiphareth because they were the creators of the two beautiful Orgone pyramids below, which they made specifically to heal the world. Both are aware of the connection between the two Washingtons explained on the Living Knowledge Page through the replica of the Federal Triangle and when our dear friend Judith magnanimously asked them to make a pyramid to be kept in our home they were only too happy to oblige. The amazing thing was that originally we were only supposed to have one pyramid, but like so many other times, fate, providence or simply divine intervention stepped in.

Judith felt we needed the pyramid before the start of 2012 and arranged for the pyramid to be made and sent to us in November. Jay dutifully fulfilled his obligation and sent the package in November. After a month passed with no sign of the package Jay who had insured the package begun another pyramid to make sure we had it for the New Year; it arrived the week after Christmas in time for the New Year. We were delighted with the pyramid and thought the other pyramid had somehow ended up where it should be. However, in February Craig went to the post office and was told there was a package waiting for him; yes it was the “lost” first pyramid.

Bringing the package home, our dear friend Guy Juarez was present when Craig un-wrapped the pyramid. When Craig held it next to the other pyramid on a nearby table, Guy said we should put it upside down on top of the other one. Of course we knew that it couldn’t rest on top without support and so Craig was moved to create a rectangle from brass rods to support it. Coincidentally, that weekend while reading Dr. Calleman’s book The Purposeful Universe, we came across the term “golden rectangle” and realized that it was confirmation of the plan to build a rectangle out of brass rods.

Anyway, before I move onto my next question there is still the matter of the Sephirot Tiphareth and its role on the Tree of Life. Tiphareth lies on the Line of Descent between Geburah and Netzach on the central pillar of Mildness. Archetypally, Tiphareth represents the Consciousness of the Higher Self and of the Greater Masters, the Vision of the Harmony of Things, Healing and Redemption, and the Elemental Kings. It also represents the Sacred Planet the Sun. The truly remarkable thing is that unbeknownst to us a primary symbol for Tiphareth is the pyramid.
return to top list

According to Robert Wang the Kabbalists felt “The initiation of Tiphareth is the first of the greater initiations into the meaning of the Self. Here the individual encounters his own Higher Self, and sacrifices his personality, that which he has hitherto believed to be himself…the initiation of Tiphareth is literally a losing of what one has known to be life, a sacrifice of that life for a greater reality. This is the real meaning of the passage: “For whosoever shall save his life shall lose it; and whosoever will lose life for my sake shall find it.” A sacrifice, in these terms does not mean the relinquishment of something much desired…it is what has been described as the “translation of force from one form to another.” This is a translation of force directed by the Will…The powers of all the other Sephiroth flow into it, where they stand balanced and sanctified. The vision of Tiphareth is of the Universal Harmony, a vision also linked to its nature as a healing center where all is brought into harmonious interworking. It is the center, also, of the Planets…Tiphareth is the Light of Soul, on which the life of the Soul depends…To deal with the mysteries of Tiphareth, one must first have undergone the initiations of Earth, Air, Water and Fire (Malkuth, Yesod, Hod and Netzach, respectively)…an integration must be undergone before the descent of the Light…There are a number of key symbols related to Tiphareth, of which the first is a figure based on six. This is the Cube, a form taken twice-over in the double cube altar of Malkuth. Another six-sided figure, attributed to the Sephira, is the Pyramid, which is truncated or in essence, has its top cut off…It is the Archetypal Man, above whom are the Heavenly Supernals, Binah, Chokmah and Kether. The Supernals are the completion of the pyramid.”

Learning that Tiphareth is so connected to the concept of sacrifice, which obviously is a fundamental aspect of The Universal Christ was yet another confirmation of my assessment of the role of Orgone. As I wrote in the excerpt from my thesis above:

“The Universal Christ created the Life-Principle and infused it with His essence to develop with the consciousness through evolution. At the human level that essence is the Christ-consciousness that lies dormant within us until awakened.
“Put even more simply, the Christ-consciousness within us is the ability to create life as in procreation. It is important to understand that the so-called sex-force is misleading, because it has nothing to do with physical arousal. It literally is the mysterious life-force that literally creates life through the union of the sperm and the ova.”

The placement of these two Orgone pyramids, which symbolize As Above; so below and vice versa is also tying the entire Creation to the emerging super-human consciousness to recreate our world in accordance to the Divine Plan. Talking of the Divine Plan, this brings me to my next question of how we plan to apply Dr. Calleman’s theory to World Peace. However, before that I need to address the two additional Trees of Life, the Universal and the Cellular Trees.

Starting with the Universal or Divine Tree, this tree archetypally represents Dr. Calleman’s description of a Cosmic Tree of Life driving evolution. It also represents the Macrocosm and the Superconscious. The imagery of this tree is of Beginning or birth as it is placed in the middle of a Nebular, where suns are born.

As I said above, although we speak of the Tree of Life in the singular, according to Dionne Fortune’s The Mystical Qabalah each Sephirot contains its own individual tree of life. Obviously, this means that within these trees of life, its ten individual Sephirot are also trees of life. This fact reminded me of Fractals and the Mandelbrot Set and helped me to see how when we meditate or focus on this powerful archetype it will completely infuse the consciousness. Ms. Fortune also brought another powerful aspect to the Tree of Life as a visual aid. Moving in sequence down the tree is a distinctive line known as the “Descent of Power”.

Not surprisingly, the Cellular Tree of Life is the exact opposite. It represents archetypally the reflection of the Cosmic Tree of Life that Dr. Calleman discovered was in in every cell of the higher mammals. This Tree obviously also represents birth in the objective sense, but interestingly from the perspective of our role in creation it plays a far more important role than just procreation. First this tree as expected represents the Microcosm and the subconscious. It also denotes the union or the masculine or active consciousness and the feminine or passive consciousness. However, the real importance of this tree is that it signifies the entrance into the inner kingdom of the heart; this is the path to the Divine Realm or the Kingdom of God within. 

These “trees” symbolize like the Mandelbrot Set in Fractals the concept of a continual chain from the physical objective plane to the Inner Divine or Spiritual Kingdom. Essentially, the “trees” denote the impetus from the Divine Realm to the Life-Principle through billions of years to develop consciousness. At crucial points in time, marked by among other sacred texts, the sacred Mayan Calendar the consciousness is ready for a “leap” so to speak to a new level. This is such a time and this is archetypally depicted in the Cellular Tree of Life, which represents the way into the Inner Kingdom.

The “spinning” vortex around the trees are designed to represent movement as in the awakened individuals who are changing the way they think to see our reality as something malleable; or to quote from the writers of one of the most inspired TV shows today, TOUCH “actualize the Divine potential”. As more people recognize that when we find resonance with our true natures we align with the Divine/Universal plan for our spiritual evolution we shift the mass consciousness. In every case the “Key” to our evolution is through the attainment of Peace on every level; with the ultimate goal of the Bridge to Peace Project being to reach the Peace that Passeth all Understanding, the level that we create. This is symbolized with the entrance into the Inner or Spiritual Kingdom that depicts the bridge that we are creating by demonstrating the continual link from the Universal to the Cellular in multiple cycles as we evolve and develop consciousness until we become as we have been taught co-creators in alignment with the Divine/Universal Plan.

As with the Conscious Tree above that depicts the Objective or Physical Plane, each Sephirot on the Universal or Divine and the Cellular or Inner Kingdom Trees of Life are represented by individuals and or groups who are working to create a better world. Finding 22 groups to fill the trees is a little problematic, because we are all so inundated with e-mails that quite often our invitation gets over-looked. Nonetheless, we are confident that the right people will respond and it will be as it should be. Consequently, this section will have to be update as partners join us. Here is a list of the individuals or groups that have responded so far. Again, I will start with the Universal or Divine Tree.

Crowning the top of the Universal Tree in the position of Kether is our dear friend and close associate, Daphna Moore. We chose this position for Daphna, because she is the author of the most important book in spiritual evolution The Rabbi’s Tarot, which she has dedicated a large portion of her life to, and that we consider to be the Ancient Mysteries in print. The fact that the “journey of manifestation begins and ends with Kether, not to mention Kether or Crown represents among other things “the seed from which the Universe grows” Daphna and her wonderful book seemed the most obvious choice.

Moving down to Chokmah or Wisdom is the group Art of Sacred Geometry. This wonderful group is out of Glastonbury, England in the United Kingdom and they are dedicated to bringing the “Wisdom” of Sacred Geometry to light. Its founder writes their mission is “Manifesting a plausible thought process: To explore any connection between the non-material world, the material world and the geometry that links it all.” Another reason for we chose this position for them is because Glastonbury has a famous zodiac laid out over a vast area and Chokmah represents the Zodiac.

Opposite Chokmah in the Fire or Archetypal Plane representing Binah is the wonderful group Fire the Grid, centered on the 11:11:11 event led by the inspired Annie Tremblay. Annie says, “The Fire the Grid events goal was to bring a critical mass of people together from around the world to reignite the energy grid of our planet by bringing down the energy of the Universe to the core of the Earth.” When we consider that Binah is “the…energy from which all life emerges”, I don’t think it is surprising that we chose this position for Fire the Grid.

DA’ATH – lies between the Archetypal and Creative Planes on the Central Pillar of Mildness or Harmony. In the Bridge to Peace Project Meditation, Da’ath is the connection through each Tree of Life. We chose to place us here because at the center of our website in the first Tree of Life we ever created, long before we even heard of Dr. Calleman’s discovery. We called the page this Tree of Life is on Living Knowledge, because it sums up our 18 year journey to discover the Truth.

In 2003 we formed the I.D.E.A Foundation for the Benefit of Humanity, with the intention of developing programs to help the less fortunate. However, at the time we owned and ran a spiritual center and quickly realized our planned programs would simply relieve the symptoms; we needed to find the cause and cure for the dis-ease. This led to the development of the Know Thyself Initiative (KTI) to decode the Ancient Mysteries. The ultimate Truth we discovered from KTI was that in order to become our true selves we need to change the way we think: the original meaning for the word “repent”. The Bridge to Peace Project is our first attempt to apply the Ancient Mysteries, which is essentially Quantum Theory using Dr. Calleman’s discovery that we are all connected at the cellular level to the Universal or Divine Tree of Life and through this connection (Da’ath) we can harness our intent to generate Peace. This will ultimately fulfill the Truth that all spiritual Teachers have said the Divine Kingdom is within us and we can bring Heaven to the Earth.

Below Binah in the Air and Mental Plane and representing Geburah, noticeably the most active Sephirot is inspired Beth Green and her project Vortex of Change. Remembering that the Kabbalists believed, “The fifth Sephira, called Strength…offers a necessary corrective in our lives by tearing away all that is useless, undesirable or outdated…” we could not think of a more appropriate place for the Vortex of Change, which is dedicated to bringing balance to the world through focused Breathing. Again, as was said above “It is only through the relentless self-discipline of Geburah that the Elemental points of the Pentagram may be brought into perfect balance in the individual…In Geburah is a certification that the true forces of the Individual are under control of the Spirit represented by the uppermost point of the Pentagram…”

Moving down to Briah or the Creative Plane and across to the pillar of Mercy is the pillar’s name Sephirot representative, Chesed meaning Mercy and this Sephirot is filled by the Humanity’s Team; a group of 70,000 volunteers dedicated to healing the world. This worldwide organization epitomizes so much of what the Bridge to Peace Project represents; uniting the world in Peace. Which is why we placed this inspired group on the Universal Tree of Life in this position: simply because they are active and recognize our role in creation as co-creators that has been taught since time immemorial.

To recap: Robert Wang says that “Chesed is the Demiurge (the Lesser Creator) which is actually the Power described in the Book of Genesis…In Chesed is found the beginning of manifestation, the externalization of the combined potencies of the Supernals. It is the initial urge toward material structure …and …the administrator of the Laws first proposed by Binah.” Evidently, “Chesed is Chokmah on a lower arc, from which emanated the pure from Binah…Chesed is Mercy. Geburah is Strength. Chesed, related to Jupiter, is a Mighty King. He is the kindly and benevolent ruler…”As we have said, Chesed or Mercy represents Jupiter which has always archetypally represented the Universal Creator.”

This Truth is eloquently portrayed in an excerpt from Humanity’s Team’s Mission Statement: “We in Humanity’s Team see a healing truth in who we are — a truth that heals ourselves, our relationships, our communities and our world. We see that we are all part of one essence that some call God and others call Universe and that the one essence is sacred, divine, loving, compassionate, creative and eternal… We Are All One is the one idea that truly changes everything. When we see God and Self in each other, we cannot help but nurture, love and support the other. When we embrace and embody our Oneness, we naturally care for the other person, place or thing. God and Self are in all of the other, so nothing is left out.”

In the exact center of the Universal or Divine Tree of Life, on the central pillar of Mildness we have the Sephirot Tiphareth. This position is represented by the wonderful group The Tree of Life Celebration as the group’s philosophy is about unification. They believe, the Tree of Life “symbolically illustrates that all life is connected. The Tree of Life concept permeates the human collective experience, as exhibited globally throughout science, religion, philosophy and mythology.” We thought the group belonged in Tiphareth, because this Sephirot represents among other things “Universal Harmony.”

Moving down into the Formative and Emotional Plane, diagonally across from Tiphareth is Netzach or Victory. This predominantly feminine Sephirot is represented by Maggie Erotriktou. Strictly speaking Maggie is not a group, but like our partners and associates Daphna Moore and Dr. Carl Calleman, her work represents a new paradigm in understanding. In her bio Maggie explains that she has worked in the fields of consciousness, energy work and vibrational medicine for 28 years. Her recent work Heart Soul Medicine, Healing the Heart, Freeing the Soul is a synthesis of everything she has studied, researched and experienced over the years. We placed her in Netzach because, “Netzach is the undifferentiated Soul of Mankind, often described as the ‘Group Mind’. The spark of the individual mind…is a part of that group which, as it becomes self-comprehending, also comprehends the whole.”

Across from Netzach is Hod or Mercury, the masculine counterpart to the feminine Venus. We chose our partner Doc Starz and his project Sound of Stars. We believe his Bio explains why he is in this position on the Universal Tree of Life: “Through blending the sound maps of desired states as well as the desired energetic vibration of celestial influences of the Sound of Stars, he has…developed Acoustic Frequencies… that aptly represent the inner and outer entrainment it would take to shift a person into an Optimal Level of Harmonic Holistic Resonance.” Whether it is scientifically recognized or not, this is using the qualities of Hod as in “…we use the forces of Hod whenever we immerse ourselves in the documents of the Mysteries, or whenever we approach anything intellectually…The principle of the practical Qabalah is that we turn our conscious attention toward a particular aspect of ourselves, and thereby gain access to the corresponding part of the greater Universe.” Ultimately “…we function consciously at the highest level which our spiritual development will allow.”

Immediately, below Tiphareth still on the Middle Pillar of Mildness but in the Plane of Yetzirah, or the Astral, Emotional or Water Plane is Yesod meaning Foundation. This Sephirot is represented by the consciousness of the highest mammals, the dolphins. Obviously, our partner is a human being and the group who graciously accepted our invitation was Amlas and his dolphin retreat Wild Quest. Apart from the obvious reason of Yesod being in the Water Plane, we chose this position for the dolphins because of the fact dolphins communicate telepathically and Yesod “follows distinct cycles which underlie and activate the cycles of our physical existence.”

The final position of the Universal or Divine Tree of Life that is filled so far is Malkuth meaning Kingdom. It is the Physical, Earth or Objective Plane that our idea is brought to completion or manifestation. We chose the Council of World Elders to represent this position, primarily because of the indigenous connection and respect to the Earth. The wisdom of the elders also follows the principles of Malkuth in that both recognize the purpose of life is find “balance through multiple spiritual experiences.”

 

Moving on to the Cellular or Inner Kingdom Tree of Life, we only have three Partners in Peace on this tree. The top position crowning the tree is the orb representing our dear friend and Direct Guy Juarez and his wonderful Pneuma-Yod Project. Guy’s project is to create music that reaches our deepest core and helps us to remember who we are. In our opinion he was most successful in his recent composition that he wrote for the Guided Meditation. Both Pneuma means translates as breath (pneumatic) and Yod means Divine Will; both also represent Spirit and as Kether in the highest spiritual consciousness, we felt Guy belonged in this position.

Moving down to Chokmah or Wisdom is Crystal Light and her Kids Radio. We chose Crystal to represent all the children of the world who are deeply moved by the suffering of their fellow human beings. As she herself says, “My radio show is about children because we are the next generation to change the old way of thinking. My dream is to grow organic food, feed the hungry, provide shelter with clean water and air using many alternative sources and free energy.” Following the theme of Chokmah representing the “entire sphere of the Zodiac” Crystal is conscious of the need to extend Peace to the realms of Space, as another aspect to her mission is to “…make change by banning space-based weapons and I hope we can evolve to a higher consciousness…”

It may appear strange that we placed Crystal in the Sephirot that represents “The key to all systems, and to the Universal Pattern”, but we believe that the awakened children are the “key” to the future, which is why Crystal and her Kids Radio is in Chokmah. Remember, “The power is potential in Kether, but it does not begin to function until the switch is turned on (in Chokmah). We surpass thought and begin to function consciously with our inner dream-maker. Here it may be appreciated that when the Dreamer and the Dreamed (as we know ourselves) begin to cooperate, we acquire a control over what happens to our lives that is truly extraordinary…” Can there be anything more powerful than the hopes and dreams of our children?

Opposite Chokmah in the Fire or Archetypal Plane representing Binah is the wonderful group World Peace Prayer Society, which sponsors the May Peace Prevail on Earth Project. Our contact with this inspiring group was through Fumi Johns Stewart, the Executive Director. Fumi explains she “grew up with a sincere wish to bridge the two cultures of her American and Japanese parentage… She brought The Peace Pole Project out of Japan and helped to establish the international Peace Pole Movement.” You may have noticed we incorporated the May Peace Prevail on Earth into the Meditation.

We chose the position of Binah for Fumi and the World Peace Prayer Society because of the project’s nurturing qualities, which are so eloquently reflected in Binah who represents “…the…energy from which all life emerges. It is the Great Womb, the Supernal Mother to which all religions make reference in some way.” The May Peace Prevail on Earth Poles act as acupuncture needles to balance the energy field of the planet uniting all the world in Peace and Harmony

 

In the position of Daath, we chose the wonderful group World Peace 2012, led by Ronald James Ario because the Cellular Tree of Life signifies the entrance into the Inner Kingdom through the conscious effort of the Human Race. Ron’s says, “This movement is designed to be the most MASSIVE cause for PEACE, UNITY and FREEDOM in the humanities history. Bringing ALL movements together as one unified force.

 

Following the Descent of Power down and across to the pillar of Mercy is the pillar’s name Sephirot representative, Chesed meaning Mercy. Chesed is in the Plane of Briah or the Creative Plane. We chose the Kofi Akosh AKA Afrikanus and his Africa Youth Peace Call to represent the energies of Chesed, because this wonderful group is teaching the children of Africa and therefore the world how to bring Peace to the world. Its president Kofi Akosh relates “We are dedicated to the study and advancement of classical liberalism in Africa. We try to change people’s ideas, opinions, and mode of thinking by research, seminars and publications. AYPC wants to become the leading libertarian organization in freedom education of young people in Africa.” As one of the descriptions of Chesed is “…the kindly and benevolent ruler…”, we felt this group best represented the hope for the future in teaching children to be open-minded and tolerant and become the future “benevolent” leaders.

Opposite Chesed in the Air or Mental Plane is Geburah which has the visual representation of the multiple Motor-Trike and Motor-Bike clubs throughout the world who use their love of riding trikes and bikes to raise money for those less fortunate. These men and women often use their trike and bike clubs to organize sponsored rides for charity. This action is using the energies of Geburah on a literal as well as figuratively. As stated, “Geburah is a strict discipline which is ultimately necessary and positive, and …a certification that the true forces of the Individual are under control of the Spirit represented by the uppermost point of the Pentagram…” Control is essential in riding a motor bike and we are pleased to recognize these selfless individuals for the contribution to relieving suffering.

Lying between Geburah and Netzach on the central pillar of Mildness in the Line of Descent is Tiphareth. We chose Liv Bangsbo Petersen and her Your Global Heart project.  Recalling that Tiphareth represents the Consciousness of the Higher Self… the Vision of the Harmony of Things, Healing and Redemption…” Liv’s mission perfectly reflects the energies of Tiphareth. She relates, In order to create more peace in the world, YOUR GLOBAL HEART believe that the most powerful thing we can do as a human being, living peacefully and safely, is standing together and create a broad and fast growing community across boarders and ethnicity…” To further this goal Liv organizes what she calls “Love-Walks” to demonstrate how diverse groups can come together in a public show of the sincere desire for Peace. As Liv is driven, like all of our partners by a genuine Love for her fellow human being we feel this is the perfect position for her on the Tree. After all, “The vision of Tiphareth is of the Universal Harmony, a vision also linked to its nature as a healing center where all is brought into harmonious interworking.”

From Tiphareth continuing diagonally across the page to the pillar of Mercy, we drop into the next Plane of Yetzirah, also known as the Formative, Water or Emotional Plane. Here we again find the Sephirot Netzach, meaning Victory. We decided that as “Peace finds Victory in Love”, we would honor and recognize all of our world peacemakers on our map. This is primarily because, Netzach represents “…the undifferentiated Soul of Mankind, often described as the “Group Mind”. The spark of the individual mind…is a part of that group which, as it becomes self-comprehending, also comprehends the whole.” This Sephirot is also “attributed” to the forces of Nature”, which we are harnessing with our collective intent to generate the Peace we all seek.

Netzach’s partner so to speak in the Formation, Emotional or Water Plane is Hod, which is represented by World Enlightainment. On the face of it, it could appear an odd choice for placing World Enlightainment in the position of Hod or Splendor in the Cellular Tree of life because this group’s focus is on the nurturing protecting energy of the Mother. Nonetheless, when we take into account how the group has “developed technologies based on ancient and sacred teachings… beyond our normal cognitive everyday understanding of these terms”, we can see the influence of Hod as “teacher of the mysteries.” Moreover, as stated, “…we use the forces of Hod whenever we immerse ourselves in the documents of the Mysteries, or whenever we approach anything intellectually…”  

Moving back to the Central Pillar of Mildness or Harmony on the Line of Descent we find the Sephirot Yesod meaning Foundation. Yesod is associated with the Astral Light, the Storehouse of Images, and the Cyclic Energies underlying Matter. As such we felt the perfect representative as the Partner in Peace was Reconnective Healers. When we remember that “In Yesod are those energies, directly underlying the material world, which are manipulated in various forms of meditation…These currents are known as the Astral Light or Akashic Fluid…The Astral Light has often been described as an electrical or magnetic current…It is mentally malleable…it is the raw material from which visual images are built on the Astral Plane. Each individual has an Etheric Body …formed of the Astral Light. Thus, Yesod is termed the Foundation. It is that which activates the Four Elements of Malkuth, repeating a pattern seen throughout the entire Tree, beginning at Kether: four elements which are rooted in a fifth…the Astral Light weaves back and forth. It follows distinct cycles which underlie and activate the cycles of our physical existence…”

Reviewing what Sonia Russian Thomas, one of the reconnective healers representing this inspired healing method says “…I have used the healings with the passion and commitment to bring Love, Light and Information to all… The very nature of this process is in its vibration. All living organisms are based on a constant state of vibration and must ultimately evolve…” Compare what Robert Wang relates about the energies of Yesod. “Parenthetically, it is to Yesod that parapsychological research is directed, since it is possible to use some of the current tools of science to quantify its effect on the sensory plane…Binah is the Great Sea, and is Isis. This is the Universal Unconscious from which all form ultimately develops. As Binah is the will to form, so Yesod is the storehouse of formal images directly behind our conscious experience…”

The only other Sephirot represented by a Partner on the Cellular Tree of Life is Malkuth. This position is represented by Steu Mann and his Shasta Connects group, which includes the Discernment Times. Steu explains his group’s goals. “Through exploring our individual connections with our body, mind, and spirit we obtain a greater awareness of the immense and limitless Being that we are now and will always be. This basic understanding allows us to contribute to a building a more unified community that benefits everyone.” We chose this position for Steu for two reasons; the first is because his group is dedicated to healthy living that benefits not only Humanity, but also the environment. The second is because Mount Shasta represents the base chakra in the world chakra system.

return to top list

All partners came forward and the list is full, now we will move onto the next question and article:

How are we applying Dr. Carl Johan Calleman’s theory to World Peace?
