Feast Of The Purification Feb 2Nd

(also called the Screening in the Place of pilgrimage)

"Malachi 3:1-5 "Luke 2:22-40

We learn from the Hire of Leviticus, the twelfth part, that one time the days owed for the mother's distillation, the child is to be brought together with a expense of a veal of the first blind date for a burnt dowry, and also a verdant pigeon or a turtle dove for a sin dowry. We see in the fundamental verse of that chapter:

"And if she be not energetic to bring a veal, then she shall bring two turtle [doves], or two verdant pigeons; the one for the burnt dowry, and the other for a sin dowry...Lev. 12: 8)"

Acknowledgment that, let us part again at the words from today's Gospel reading:

"And having the status of the days of her distillation according to the Law of Moses were delightful, they brought him to Jerusalem, to bequest Him to the Lord; (as it is in black and white in the Law of the Peer of the realm, Whichever male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) And to hand over a expense according to that which is said in the Law of the Peer of the realm, A two of a kind of turtledoves, or two verdant pigeons. (Luke 2: 22-24)."

We hurl to understand the theology of what is concerning in these verses. To begin with, St Luke is very clearly snitch us that the home-grown hip which God became manifested, in our own everyday species, was not a home-grown of wealth, but of poverty; for they were not energetic to bring a veal. The grandiose line of David, the line of the Jewish kings, had been despicable to lack by the purify of history, of wars and of occupation to the Roman people, And so it is that Joseph, in the line of folks ancient kings, was a bankrupt carpenter. Dressed in his part of goodness, but of lack, was our Peer of the realm born; this extraordinarily Peer of the realm of turmoil, who had solitary a month ahead of time been laid in a manger while nearby was no place in addition for Him.

Bring to mind the words of St. Paul:

"For ye know the nimbleness of our Peer of the realm Jesus Christ, that, even though He was unusual, yet for your sakes He became bankrupt, that ye nonstop His lack authority be unusual (II Cor. 8:9)."

The implications of this are very heartfelt, and very highbrow. It is a picture of the mystery of the Combination itself, that the One Who did not contain onto His own social equality with God, but became a man, Who humbled Himself in strictness as a servant unto the death of the bad-tempered, is the One to Whom every stage shall completely bow, and Who shall be called Peer of the realm on every discourse, at the record of His everyday name, the name of Jesus. Featuring in He was, boundless and the progeny to the throne of David, yet bankrupt. Featuring in He was, true man yet very God. Featuring in He was, the Peer of the realm Who had without delay come to His temple, yet a new instinctive beloved, without power, and without wealth.

To see Him as He sound was obligatory the eyes of aspiration, a unfaltering aspiration which is knowledge, and that comes solitary by the bolt from the blue of God. Eyes that see, ears that find out and a mainstay that understands are the gift of the Consecrated Specter. So it is that the true wisdom which comes from exclusive is inclined to an old man, who wears the wrap of a prophet, seeing the Peer of the realm by the bolt from the blue inclined to Him from the Lord's Consecrated Hardiness. This is voiced in the words which get on on in the Cathedral every early evening at prayer:

"Peer of the realm, now lettest thou thy servant enthusiasm in silence, according to thy word; For dig out eyes have in stock seen thy help, which thou hast harden ahead of time the fascia of all people; a light to let some light in the Gentiles, and the turmoil of thy private Israel."

The wisdom of God contradicts everything that a fallen and impious world holds pronounced. It contradicts the wisdom of the canny, the authority of the powerful, the cunning of kings, the wealth of reserves. "He hath put down the controlling from their seat, and hath haughty the meager and meek; He hath loaded the parched with good things; and the unusual He hath sent extinct pass."

An old man takes in his arms an baby from a bankrupt man's part, and declares that He is the help of God for all the world. An last widow, also inclined the true wisdom from exclusive, the gift of the Consecrated Hardiness, speaks of Him to all who looked for redemption in Jerusalem. The prophet Amos wrote that, in the understanding of impious man, "the prophet is a teen, the spiritual man is mad." How can this bankrupt son of a bankrupt carpenter, bring help to the world? Let vulnerable, to Israel? And what light can He submit to the Gentiles, light that would shock the pagan religions, the tightness of idolaters in every land, by the powerful people of Rome with its many gods? How can this child instinctive hip a carpenter's part, restore the turmoil of Israel, as if the throne of David can revisit the thorough knowledge of the obdurate gentile dictator, Herod, and banish the powerful legions of Rome? Anything did these two silly and mad old personal have in stock in logic, discourse such non-sense? Anything authority was wrought by a verdant mother, by the agreeable advantageous aspiration voiced in her words, "Regard the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." A female, "the weaker vessel," welcomed the Undertone of God to the world in her womb, goodhearted Him everyday species, accomplishing in her liability what no air force, in its weight, can do.

Let me allude to a desire story: Probably some of you have in stock seen the movie "The Yield of the Ruler", or, better yet, have in stock read J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Peer of the realm of the Trinkets". If so, you bring to mind that the world is saved from the power of the evil Sauron by two very precise, and virtuously low private. Two hobbits of the shire, Frodo and Sam, elect what the warriors of Poor Terra firma, even under the supervision of Ruler Aragorn, can not do themselves. In the point of the story, the armies of Poor Terra firma can solitary clash their disagree to liberate as a entertainment., seeing that the two precise hobbits, what's more under four feet lofty, and without any weight of arms, influence to bear the One Pitch to its ending, so toppling the power of Sauron, and liberation the world from his contain. Tolkien wrote his story with a Christian logic, as a very dutiful Catholic; and he through it combined that the victory was wrought by Accident nonstop the hobbits.

Gods has voted the delicate substance of the world to bemuse the substance which are powerful, and the silly substance of the world to bemuse the substance which are wise; so wrote St. Paul. The true victory that banishes ill-treatment from the world, and overturns all of the power of evil, was delightful by a exposed and displease, beat-up and furtive man, energetic His fundamental mention nailed to bad-tempered, as a put on show of all that appears to be delicate and low. In His shyness and strictness to the Set off, His endeavor to the soul of God in goodhearted His life, he is the One true champion Who breaks all of the power of Satan, and liberates the whole world from sin and death.

But, the world saw Him in His liability and harshness. It saw Him in His lack and aspiration of all substance, having His costume parted in the company of the laying a bet legion, persona inclined not a hint to soak His passion, but solitary vinegar as if by a obdurate witticism. By all the wisdom stated to impious men, this was no successful champion, no thriving king. The words of Simeon and Anna necessity have in stock seemed a hundred become old auxiliary mad and silly than having the status of they had expressed of Him in the time of His childhood. Role old quite to have in stock remembered them, who may have in stock recalled board them about thirty three living sooner, trustworthy consequence that they necessity have in stock been no true prophets.

Of course all of this brings me to my beyond theological aim from today's Gospel reading. Featuring in we see Jesus persona open in the temple, and an dowry persona through for Him as if He were a malefactor. His mother, the Lucky Virgin, is obeying the Law of Purification, as if this child had been instinctive in uncleanness, that is, as if tainted with personal sin: As if, in the prayer of David: "in sin hath my mother conceived me (from Psalm 51)." You and I can pray folks words, for we were instinctive in personal sin, occupational to powers higher which we can not prevail; for we can never have in stock through ourselves untreated. But, Jesus required no such dowry, and His mother required no distillation. Yet, Mary and Joseph watch over the Law; and this foreshadows for us the fact that Jesus would accomplished the Law.

The scriptures say that "He was tempted in every aim as we are, yet without sin (Heb. 4:15)." And, that "God through Him to be sin for us, Who knew no sin, that we authority be through the virtue of God in Him (II Cor. 5: 21)." Isaiah had in black and white, "And He through His unhappy with the ghastly, and with the unusual in His death, while he had done no violence; neither was any deceit in His oral cavity...He manifest the sin of [the] many, and through settlement for the transgressors (from Isaiah 53)." The offerings that day, in the temple, signify the life of Christ as one of inclusive strictness to the Father's soul, in this swathe that is to say by adhering to the Law of God inclined nonstop Moses. It foreshadows the words he laugh at to John the Baptist at His own baptism ceremony in the Jordan River: "Come across it to be so, for so it becometh us to accomplished all virtue." For in His baptism ceremony He let Himself be recognized with impious goodwill, and began then to bear upon Himself the sins of the world, ultimate Himself untreated from all sin; as John said that day, "Regard the veal of God, which taketh pass the sins of the world." He turn them all the way to the cross; for "trustworthy He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows."

Yes, He required no dowry, and His mother required no distillation because Her Son was borne in absolute blessedness. But the offerings that day, in the temple, teach us that He was prize our sins on Himself. As the solitary untreated Man ever to get on, His death would be the solitary death that is virtuously one-sided. He did not merit death. Passing away came hip the world nonstop sin, and it is our fee while of sin. To the same degree the sinless One died, death was undone. The power of Satan was shattered, and with it the ethics and morals of a impious world were turned upside down. On the day of his death, accredited by His revival on the third day, all that was powerful was comatose to be delicate, all that was unusual was comatose to be lack, all that was controlling was comatose to be delicate. "He hath put down the controlling from their seat; and hath haughty the meager and meek." The two old prophets, who seemed silly and mad, had expressed wisdom and reason having the status of they laugh at of this child as the One Who would bring redemption in Jerusalem.

And now, unto God the Set off, God the Son and God the Consecrated Specter, be attributed, as is best accord due, all wisdom, authority, power and turmoil, now and for all time. Amen.

About Discordian Zen

Many kinds of Zen exist. Each variety centers around a particular practice/rite. Soto Zen centers on zazen. Rinzai Zen on koan introspection. Fuke Zen centers on playing a particular kind of music on the shakuhachi (a bamboo flute). Elemental Zen centers on tea ceremony. Discordian Zen centers on the Rite of Not Knowing as its basic manifestation [see below].

Performing the Rite of Not Knowing we enter into the realms of don't know mind. Letting go of our time and opinions, doing what appears, we become more flexible, less attached. Discordian Zen represents a new Zen manifes-tation. While the Rite of Not nowing represents Discordian Zen's primary practice (open to anyone), there exist additional practices/manifestations. These include:

1- The Zen Precepts
2- A new manner of speaking
3- A new mainfestation of time
4- Reweaving the web of life

Discordian Zen has no temples, no location, no tax exempt status. It only seeks to manifest, transmit and expand the life-giving Chaos that consti-tutes our original nature, our original enlightenment. If you want to know more about Discordian Zen please write to:

THE BASIC PRACTICE OF DISCORDIAN ZEN

The Rite of Not Knowing

1- Materials
3x5" file cards (lined or unlined)
Pen
Envelope
Stamps

2- On each file cars (as many as you choose to use) write simple action(s)/
activity(ies) (I prefer one activity/action to a card, but you can have
more if you like). For eexample:

Walk around the block 3 times.
Eat a hot dog bun.
Do 50 jumping jacks.
Listen to 5 different radio stations simultaneously for 5 minutes.

3- Mail the cards in to me, Tundra Wind, Box 429, Monte Rio,CA 95462.

4- I shuffle all the cards I receive together and then, through random means, decide how many cards to send back to you.

5- I mail cards to you. You perform the actions/activities on the cards EXCEPT for those activities you wish to veto. This principle of the veto ensures that you don't have to do anything that violates your health and/or welfare.

6- After you finish, mail the cards back to me (add new ones if you wish) and I then put them back in the stack to re-include them in the next round.

The original constantly present and relentlessly emerging condition means nothing other than the life giving Chaos. Through this Rite one enters the original ungraspable, undefinable condition. The Chaotic vibrations of freedom and compassion flourish. Miraculously, one discovers that one loses nothing when one gives everything away.

Feel free to give the Rite of Not Knowing to any you feel will have an interest in it.

God Set

The best English study of Set is Te Velde's "Set, God of Confusion" Brill 1977. If this particular text is unavailable through your library, I recommend a a short cheap and very reliable book by George Hart: "A Dictionary of Egyptian Gods and Goddesses", Rout-ledge & Kegan Paul, 1986. This very ambiguous god was alternately deified and demo-nized depending on the cultural/political currents running through Egypt. Allow me to present here a brief history of Set.

Predynastically: Set was an important deity appearing in the art of the Hamitic peoples living in the Ombos and Naquada regions. Interestingly, his was the only god-figure not composed of parts from recognizable Earth animals.

(The Hamitic speakers donated most of the terms to religious philosophy to the Egyptian langauge that seperate it from other Semitic languages including ba, ka, neter, etc. If somebody really wants to find the roots of the Egyptian religion, they should go up the Nile and do some serious anthropology among Hamitic speaking native cultures-- the roots of the Nile may hold keys to Egyptian thought that mute stones do not).

Archaic Egypt: Set generally occupies a secondary role to his enemy Horus, champion of the people of the North (except in the 2nd dynasty when one pharaoh took a "Set" name rather than a Horus name.) Set is intimately connected with teaching astronomy, the methods of agriculture, medicine, and above all magic. He is said to have opened the mouth of the other gods, and is the patron of the sem ritual. His cult titles include "Great of Magic" and "Eternal". There is indeed evidence that Set is set apart from other gods to die (Bonnet's
commentaries on the Pyramid texts).

The astronomical cult, which placed the afterlife in the region of the Northern heavens -- particularly in and around the constellation of the Great Bear was replaced in the Fourth dynasty by a growing sun cult centering on Re and Horus. The great stellar monument that Imhotep designed were replaced by the solar pyramids of the Fourth and Fifth dynasty's. (Notably Cheops took no chances in the great Pyramid's design -- although outwardly a solar monument he had a hole bored through the stones aligned with the position of Alpha Draconis (a star in the Great Bear called Thuban = "the Subtle One" a Set cult title?) just in case that was where his ka was heading.

During the next few dynasties (4 - 17), Set is generally ignored. His functions are absorbed into other gods. Thoth picks up the attributes of magic, Osiris picks up the attributes of Mysterious time _djet_ as opposed to exoteric time _neheh_. Set keeps his attributes a storm and stellar god, and gradually comes to be associated with all night fears -- nightmares, desert fiends, and bad animals such as the hippo and the jaguar of the South. He is mentioned in a famous 12th dynasty writing called _The Discourse of a man with his bain which his solar aspect IAA is referred to. Bikka Reed has a great translations of this text.

In the 18th dynasty a remarkable Pharoah Hatshepsut reintroduced the worship of Set by building a Temple dedicated to him and Horus the Elder at Ombos. This marked a strong interest in Set's eternal nature, for example in Hatshepsut is the prophecy (which she had placed in her tomb at Der el-Medina) that "She will not only enjoy the days of Horus, but the days of Set will be added to her span."

She was also interested in the antinomian nature of the Set cult – in fact she preformed one of the most scandalous acts available to a woman -- she acted as a man. This early feminist clearly found Set, a great archetype to Work with. Set was popular among her family until the Kingship of Akhenaton (may he be reborn forever drowning in the jaws of Sobek the crocodile god).

The very militaristic pharaohs of the Nineteenth dynasty, who were probably descended form a family of Set priests at Tanis, delighted in Set both in his militaristic role and as God of Foreign places. Ramses II for example called himself the Son of Set. The Set cult too was very popular with foreigners coming to live in Egypt. His worship has always been connected with the outsider.

The Twentieth Dynasty began by looking very favorably on this god, as is shown in the name of its founder Setnakt, "Set is Mighty." There is also considerable evidence that the set cult was favored among artisans of the time (see Romer's _Ancient Lives_, Henry Holt, 1984, and if you've got as copy of Stephen Quirk's _Ancient Egyptian Religion_ check out the beautiful Stella of Aapehty -- probably the most beautiful surviving example of Setian art).

By the end of the Twentieth Dynasty, as the funerary cult of Osiris became the dominate force in popular Egyptian religion,more and more, Set as the murderer of Osiris became the Evil One. In fact by the Twenty Sixth dynasty it was a common practice to disfigure any representations of Set. He became --for all practical purposes the Christian devil. Some scholars have even derived the name Satan from Set-Hen, a cult title meaning the Majesty of Set, but I am dubious of this particular derivation.

However Set was not down for the count. During the Ptolemaic period Set, merged with the Greek titan Typhon, became the figure for the _goes_ or sorcerer to use. After Hermes the most often invoked god in the Magical papyri is Set-Typhon. This entity was used to bring spirit helpers (bird would fly down and announce that the magician was now under the protection of a god -- a popular Typhonic practice outside of Egypt as well see Morton Smith's _Jesus the Magician_). Set was also the god to invoke to send dreams, perform healings on
the head or spinal column, and to cause enmity between enemies.

There seems to be a few common threads running through the Set cult: the quest for immortality, antinomianism, and the practice of magic. Perhaps this is why Michael Aquino's current Temple of Set finds this figure so appealing as an archetype for the Left Hand Path. Like Hatshepsut before Aquino has Opened the Mouth of this ancient god, and the articulation of the Principle of Isolate Intelligence is available to us today.

Weaving Wyrd Webs

The techniques given here may be familiar in different forms to readers; the forms I offer here being the ones I have developed. They are both techniques to be used in conjunction with other techniques to raise the energy levels for an operation. Mantra Web The Mantra Web is a very simple and effective technique for using sonics in a group.

Choose a mantra with a number of syllables corresponding to the number of operators, e.g. IAO for 3 people. The operators should link hands, left palm up and right palm down, and slowly start to circle anti-clockwise, each vibrating their syllable. As this is done the operators should each project a thread of light from their Solar Plexus (Manipura chakra) to a central focal point. The colour(s) of the threads of light should be determined before the operation according to its purpose and the current beliefs of the operators. As the speed and resonance of the mantra is built up over a period of time, so the web is empowered, until a climax is reached and the web energy directed by a pre-specified operator to its purpose. This is just a sketchy outline of the technique, which obviously can be used for much more than this. Some of the more common uses for this technique include healing (with the individual in the centre at the focus, crystals would also boost the energy levels); sexual magick (with the operator(s) in the centre and, if possible, the climax timed
accordingly); empowering sigils, and so on.

THE GLYPH OF THE MANTRA WEB

If the operators vibrate their syllable alternately instead of together, the mantra will spin around the circle and have a positively disorienting effect on the operators. It is important that the operators visualize their thread of light continuously, and not just when vibrating their mantra syllable. I particularly recommend this technique for outdoor use, especially at suitably aspected power sites. However, if you are using a stone circle or any other site for magick, please do think about what aspects the site has, and preferably
visit beforehand to achieve some rapport with the site. (Respect for the land and leaving the site in good condition should not need to be mentioned, but there are a lot of semi-morons out there who do not seem to care about their sacred spaces). A lot of the best research work done and published in recent years has been by researchers in the Earth Mysteries field, who concentrate more on their work than pampering egos and getting lazier.

Angle Webs

Angle Webs are sigils created by superimposing a macrocosmic map (i.e. the Tree of Life) onto an astrological map of a given moment in time. The purpose of this is to tap into the energy of a given moment e.g. an eclipse, nuclear blast, historical event, etc.
The method of construction is as follows:

1. Draw 10 concentric circles at equal intervals outward from a central point.
2. Very lightly draw 12 equidistant radii to the outer circle, dividing all the circles into 12 equal segments. These divisions represent the zodiacal signs, so start where you want Aries to be, and the other signs follow round in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. The centre of the circle represents planet Earth (Malkuth) qabalistically. Moving out from the centre the planets are placed on the rims of the respective circles relative to their mean distance from Earth, and based on their astrological position at the time the sigil is being drawn for. In order out from the centre, the planets follow this sequence - Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto. (Neptune's orbit takes it outside of Pluto's orbit for some years of its cycle, it is worth checking the periods when this occurs and noting them for reference). Thus if the sign of Aries began at the top' of the page, and the Moon was 28 Taurus, the Moon would be located at approximately the '2 o'clock' position on the rim of the first circle.

4. When all the planets have been marked in their respective places on the circles, each planet should be joined to the planets it would be joined to by paths on the Tree of Life with straight lines. Hence the centre, Malkuth, would be joined to the Moon-point (Yesod) on the first circle, the Venus-point (Netzach) on the third circle and the Mercury-point (Hod) on the fourth circle. I take Uranus (Daath) as a point like all the others, so planets which are linked through Daath on the Tree should also be joined to the Uranus-point, e.g.
Saturn, Sun, Pluto, etc. (I use Uranus rather than Saturn to correspond to Daath as it is more appropriate to my own system of magick).

5. After all the planets have been linked, the Angle Web has been constructed, and is ready to be charged by whatever methods the operator prefers. If creating an Angle Web of a particular event, consider the implications - I would rather create an Angle Web for a test-blast than the Hiroshima blast if I wanted to try and use that sort of energy, for example.

6. The technique can of course be modified, obvious possibilities being to use the Qabalistic Colour Scales, body fluids, crystals, etc. Angle Webs also work very well as empowering sigils to charge a second sigil placed on top. In my own magickal operations I usually use Angle Webs in conjunction with a series of sigils I call Nightside Squares (these are similar in some ways to the Abramelin Squares; they also have corresponding Mantra Webs). See Making Mutable Mantras for further details.

As can be seen below, all the sigil is in less than half the circle's area, (consider the Earth point is the centre point and the Pluto point lies on the outermost circle which forms the bounds of the sigil); a significant fact in itself, considering the shape of the Angle Web and the moment it sigilizes.

She in the same way had a quick revise adjacent to frequent who crossed her - abnormally the ideas of her infamously shaky husband's extra-marital attentions.

Hera procedure "large member of the aristocracy" and the English word "galaxy" comes from the Greek "f?te", which is "mother's milk". According to mythology, milk from Hera's breasts formed the Rich Way and all the stars within it.

Essence

Like is the scent of your practice?

How do you distill that down one word?

Citizens were the questions in an scholarly Pagan group. These questions plan me. This is my answer: I'd say it in two words: flex ">worship the Gods and Goddesses. I have fun their natures, I formalize their gifts and I look askance for their ghost in myself, in others and in the world(s) sharply me.

Supplementary answers included: Balance * Communion * Lenience * Squeal * Occupation * Move * Saving * Frith (Hold) * Gnosis * Groking * Material goods * Heart * Fairness * Manner of speaking * Paradox * Update * Dash * * Reclaiming * Reappearance * Cyclic * Duty * Sacralisation * Song ">joy, surplus and embracing change; three bash I bid we look askance for in our teachers and Circles. Is that inadequate in our negotiations, repugnant, or do some of us virtuously get the better of these blessings for granted?
