Boaz and Jachin – Part 1 | GnosticWarrior.com
He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin and the one to the north Boaz. – 1 Kings 7:21
One of the most prolific symbols and allegorical key figures that you will find in freemasonry are the two pillars of Boaz and Jachin. The reason that you will always find these pillars in association with freemasonry is because they are the custodians of the Temple of Solomon.
It is both Boaz and Jachin whom are represented as masons that were employed in the building the world-wide temple of the Universal Church under their great master, Hiram Abiff. To honor this occasion, an immortal symbol of their work was created and these two pillars were respectively consecrated.

Activating Kundalini; The No Nonsense Approach | | TheKingdomWithin
Activating Kundalini; The No Nonsense Approach ~ Raz Iyahu We will be discussing all of these practices in detail for the first time during the Webinars coming this August at One-Science.org. The webinars are free and I have a strong feeling the community will grow quickly – hope to see you there. The Necessary Steps Required for Kundalini :: 1) Vital Energy driven and stored in the lower pelvic region. This is known as the lower Dan Tien or Lower Cinnabar Field in Neidan, the Lower Cauldron (stove) in Western Alchemy, the energy center of Malchut in Kabbalah, the Brahma granthis in Yoga or the area at the Mulbhand for the sake of awakening the lower energy centers. 2) Intense Emotional Energy. High emotional energy must be present during practice. This is typically why sexual alchemy is so advisable, but this can easily be found in the form of intense Bhakti or devotional work containing intense high level emotional flow for the purposes creating charge in the postnatal breath.

Maat: The Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Justice and Morality | Ancient Origins
Maat, also known as Ma’at or Mayet, was a female goddess in the ancient Egyptian religion who represented truth, justice, balance and morality. The daughter of the Egyptian sun deity Ra …

Ma’at
“Egyptian goddess of cosmic order, justice, wisdom, law, truth, balance, harmony and morality. She was the one to keep the stars in movement, seasons changing and to maintain the order on both Heaven and Earth. According to the Egyptian beliefs the world has not come into existence until Ra the god of the Sun had replaced Isfet (Chaos) with his daughter Maat. Pharaohs were to guard the goddess and to make sure no one would disrupt the balance. Her name was also written as Ma’at, Māt, Maae’t or Mayet and its meaning was probably Truth, Truthfulness.”

Real Magicians and Armchair Dabblers, by David Griffin
Dear Magician,
Over on our Golden Dawn Facebook group, “M” recently asked:
“I am interested in studying Magick with the Golden Dawn, but I disagree with some of the tarot correspondences on the Qabalistic Tree of Life. Will my changing the system be a problem?”
I have heard similar questions over and over, so I knew M. would not like my answer. I told him: “You need to learn English grammar first before you start writing poetry.”
He was angered by this response, but here is what I meant. If you want to study magick on your own to become a solitary practitioner, go for it! But, here is a serious piece of advice. Choose ONE magickal system, regardless of which one, and learn it “as it is” from top to bottom. Don’t become a dabbler who jumps from system to system, mastering none.
It is true that I myself am an eclectic Magician these days and that I work multiple magical systems, choosing which system for a particular task according to what I wish to accomplish, much like a carpenter has multiple tools in his took kit. But then again, I am a Gemini and speak 8 languages, so I have no trouble juggling multiple symbol systems. Moreover, I am already an advanced Magician.
However, as a beginner, if you choose the Golden Dawn system as your starting point in Magick, I urge you to learn and fully Master the system the way it is before you try to amend or adapt it. A 120-year track record proves that the GD system works “as is.” The mistake many solitaries make is to try to create new systems, or adapt existing ones, before they have mastered the skills they need to do it right. There’s a reason why undergraduates at college are obliged to master material according to the Professor’s specifications and prescribed methods. Why? Because an undergraduate lacks the research skills of a PhD. Therefore, trying to do magical post-graduate work by adapting and developing magical systems willy-nilly while you are still a beginner is just silly.
Start by picking ONE system – and MASTER it.
The Golden Dawn system is a good one. You can study under supervision in our Order, or you can practice on your own using my Ritual Magic Manual. Just don’t mess with the system until AFTER you have mastered it the way it is first. Otherwise, you risk always remaining a dabbler rather than ever becoming n a real magician.
In Abundance, Power, and Truth,
David Griffin
There Is Nature And There Is Life, Each Cultivate On Their Own. | | TheKingdomWithin
There is Nature and there is Life, each cultivate on their own. ~ Raz Iyahu You do not need to cultivate Life, but you must cultivate Nature. Life is only to enhance the process and this involves the Microcosmic orbit and the clearing the the channels needed for the energy to successfully move. When we cultivate Life we are ‘doing’, meaning we are working the orbit, collecting generative force, etc. All these things are only to restore Life, to help increase health, vitality and focus which is a vital component to cultivating Nature. Nature is the process by which we eliminate the “I” – the thoughts, emotions and actions totally. In Alchemy this is called ‘Cooking’ when we are totally mindless in breath completely aware of only the void without interference. We can settle our minds on the lower cauldron to keep ‘heat’ there but otherwise we are seeking to die with conscious awareness – this is all. In order to cook the Elixir we must collect it, then cook it (Life / Nature) Therefore

From The Emerald Tablet …
“Man is in the process of changing to forms that are not of this world.
Grows he in time to the formless, a plane on the cycle above.
Know, you must become formless before you are one with the Light.”
—The Emerald Tablet
Daily Chabad
A team, a society, a world is healthy when each member says, “If I don’t add in my two bits, the whole system will fail.”
Not just any two bits, but the two bits that belong to you alone.
No one is here just because everyone else is here. No system can function from the top-down alone.
Because each of us—and everything that was created—has a spark of the Divine. So that each of us is all of us.
Daily Chabad
Moses first fought the oppressor and only then taught his people to be free.
Today, the oppressor hides behind a smile, a luxury, a social norm. Quite often, your worst oppressor is you yourself.
That is why today we first need to teach people to be free so that they can recognize their oppression.

THE SANDS OF TIME ARE SHIFTING | | TheKingdomWithin
We are at a very important time in our planetary and personal ascension process this week. We are surrounded by the symbol of infinity, the hourglass of time. We have an hourglass planetary alignment occurring today and this week. The hourglass is really the infinity symbol, which is a representation of time. Today 5/22/15 is a 8 day in numerology, which is also infinity. In addition, we have something that fully supports the “flip” of our reality that I have written about. I have addressed the fact, in earlier papers, that we live in an upside down reality. It’s a mirror image of what we are moving to. I can clairvoyantly see this and feel it, and today thanks to my friend Oka Fala, I have real proof that I am not an out of balance crazy mystic. LOL…. I love astrology, it confirms my information and makes me not feel strange! In his blog, which I will post a link for at the end of my paper…he states….this hourglass alignment occurs at the IX XI gates, these are the 9
