...Following the Golden thread... (email extract)...
Local Ritual with four participants, linked up with global Horus Maat Lodge astral new moon 'gathering.'
GOALS: *Tracing the Golden Thread to its source
*The Manifestation of Truth
We decided to put my 5000-yr-old
KiaQyl staff in the centre of the circle, and visualize (eyes closed)
the golden thread ascending it to wherever it led, while chanting the
chakra tones up the scale. Then after a period of silence we descended
the chakra scale, bringing back down either the golden thread or
whatever it led to: the manifestation of truth. It had occurred to me
after my last transmission that the golden thread as the passage out of
the labyrinth was a metaphor for the path beyond the world of
illusion/loom of maya to the truth of the absolute, so this seemed like
an apt framework, within the ipsos/abrahadabra spirals (link-up ritual for global HML astral new moon 'gatherings') into and out of
the circle.
I had visited Venom who played Maat in the Labyrinth earlier that
day and started telling her about the golden thread email discourse.
Before I got to the conclusions about a marriage being too formal for
Horus and Maat's union, she told me she was glad her and Revere had not
been handfasted as it would be too formal a bond for them!
She had to stay in the city but said she and Revere (who played Horus
in the Labyrinth) would do something for the new moon that night...
My astral journey was incredible! After visualizing the HML sigil on
the base chakra toning (the red triangle is a symbol for the base
chakra!)- it was 3d and spinning around the staff/feather in the centre
of the circle at such velocity that it became like a rounded cone
rather than a pyramid.
I began following a golden thread of light up the staff. When I
reached the solar plexus chakra, a great golden glowing solar hawk
burst out of my abdomen (I felt as well as saw this) and into the
middle of the circle, where it joined with and became the golden thread
and shot upwards at an incredible rate. By the heart chakra toning it
had collided with the sun and merged with/become it. It continued to
move upwards like a shooting star. My consciousness seemed embedded in
it somehow.
I became aware of the other suns/stars in the great void of
space as the chakra tones continued. When the crown chakra lapsed into
silence I was aware only of light. But it wasn't white light, it was
black. The void of space, but somehow also light.
This seemed to me to be some kind of ultimate truth, so when we
began the chakra descent I decided to bring it back.
The journey down
was similar to the ascent but progressively more conscious. At the
solar plexus, when the sunhawk energy connected back into my body, I
suddenly realized what this golden thread was : What the Mayans call
Kuxan Suum -the 'solar umbilical cord' which connects us via a link
between our solar plexus chakras and our own solar system's sun to the
other stars (Sirius, Andromeda...) and ultimately to the Galactic Core,
Hunab Ku! Is this where I had just been?
So the Golden Thread had indeed led me out of the Labyrinth; now that the Labyrinth CD and its promotional production were complete, I could devote energy to my next major project: The 13th-TRIBE WEAVING which involves the Kuxan Suum or Solar Umbilical Cord!
(The descent...) On the navel chakra I became aware of the silver moon cord, merging
the two in my belly, and even as I realized this was the cord back to
my physical body I became aware of my body again. The golden thread
was the line of golden light coming through my eyelids from the candle.
Visualizing the sigil again for the base grounded the energy, then I
opened my eyes to discover I could clearly see black light interwoven
with the gold in the candle flame. I drew the others' attention to
this, they could also perceive it. After staring at it silently for a
while we got up and 'abrahadabra'd one by one out of the circle.
After an ascent and descent through the levels of density, Phoenix
had also experienced the two threads merging at the navel.
Jess also
went into space, where at one stage she saw Anubis (or was it me in my
Anubis mask from the Labyrinth?) fly past!
Dom's golden thread turned
into a golden path then a tunnel which he followed down to become a
leopard.
We were all pretty amazed with our journeys, but the real clincher
came when I got back to the city a few days later. I saw Revere and he
told me on nu moon he and Venom (Who had played Horus and Maat in the Labyrinth) had ended up going to a nightclub and
taking ecstasy. They ended up watching themselves morphing into each other in the mirrors. Later others reported seeing them doing the same thing on the dance floor!
The next morning Revere stumbled up out of bed to find in the hallway
a forearm-length stick, with a snakeskin-patterned thin golden ribbon
entwined around it!
The owner of this was later revealed, but how it had made its way
into the hallway remains a mystery. It had been the cross-bar of a
mobile, which had had seahorses hanging from it. Seahorses are gynanders!
Conclusions: Maat is a star-goddess, Horus a sun-god. There is no
real difference between solar and stellar energy, other than that one
is perceived as being closer, whether in space or in time (the aeons)..
