Playing with Toys

Open music in a new window.

    THE CREATION OF THE WORLD

The Magician: Mercury

   One morning as Nathan was waking up, he remembered playing with toys on the floor of his room when he was a child. He had felt like he was creating a world of his own, and he remembered wondering then what kind of world he would create for himself when he grew up.
   As the memory faded, Nathan became aware that he had fallen back to sleep because he was suddenly standing before The Magician, who spoke, "Each one of us continues the first primal act of creation every moment. In the way that we each react to external circumstances, we create our own personal world that remains a facet of Universal Consciousness."

The Garden

   The Magician continued: "You can create a garden of beauty and splendor in your imagination if you first clear your mind of negativity."

Feast

   "You can share a feast with friends and family, maintaining love and continuity with one another through the years, no matter how difficult times have become."

Homeless on the Street

   The Magician continued, "If you don't have much money, you can share your friendship and the abundance of your imagination with the poor through your stories and jokes."

At the Mall

   "You can wander through a flashy market place as people work hard to sell the stuff of the tribe, and you can wonder if this is the best that a wealthy society can create for its people. You might even imagine products that you could sell to others."

In a Cathedral

   The Magician continued: "You can visit a church or cathedral and know that many people have worked collectively to maintain a spiritual tradition in the community within those walls."

Amusement Park

   "You can wander through a fairy-tale amusement park or create a place in your imagination full of magical creatures and monsters. Like a magician, by bringing energy down the spiritual, mental, and emotional planes, you have the opportunity to imagine and manifest a world that works for the highest possible good of everyone."

Casting a Spell

   "You must remember that some people want to turn the forms created in your imagination into ice even though you are working for the highest possible good, but some of your intentions will work out."

Ghost

   The Magician continued, "You must also remember that at times you will be haunted by the past."

Making Music

   "No matter how hard times have become, you can always make music with others even if you don't feel that music is your thing. Musicians tend to help each other and just keep playing through all the mistakes."

Toxic Waste

   "You will find that some people have polluted the world, but we are all in this together and can work to clean up the mistakes of others."

A Path through Flowers

   "You can turn a place contaminated by toxic waste into a path of flowers for everyone to enjoy."

Pirates

   "There will always be pirates who wish to plunder the world for their own gain, but while they fight you can strive for the ideals of beauty, harmony, and abundance for all."

Battle

   "There might always be powerful people with selfish motives who plunder resources and enslave people for their own personal gain. Despite the horrors they create, you are always part of creating the world even if only in your imagination."

Nuclear Missile

   "Some people keep finding ways to destroy the world, but remember that you are one of the people who keeps creating the world," the Magician stated.

With the Sun at his Crown

   "Even in the worst of times, you can know the light of your divine core and continue being involved in the creation of the world."

Walking into the Clouds

Open music in a new window.

    THE DESCENT OF THE DIVINE

Walking on a Cloud

   One night, as Nathan was falling asleep, he imagined strolling on a path in the clouds. Soon he was dreaming of walking on the clouds to a higher realm.

The High Priestess: The Moon

   On his cloud path he soon came to the Temple of the Moon, where he met The High Priestess.
   "Here you will find powerful subtle spiritual forces personified as humans or animals," she proclaimed. "These Gods and Archangels will enable you to touch the dimensions of Universal Consciousness and bring the divine energies into your sphere of influence."

Archangel Raphael

   The High Priestess continued, "First, you must meet the Archangel Raphael, the Healer of God. He can heal you and the people around you and create a shift in consciousness that heals humanity and the planet. He commands the element of Air, which includes the triplicity of Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini and their ruling planets, Venus, Saturn, and Mercury, all of which are powerful subtle forces personified as people or Gods."

Aquarius, the Water Carrier

   "Aquarius, ruled by Saturn, is personified as the water bearer. Aquarius is a powerful energy that can create a shift in human consciousness. As you know, you are currently living in the Age of Aquarius, which will lead to a golden age, a great step in human evolution, but many at first will feel so burned by the transformative energies that they manifest great chaos and disruption."

Carrying the Sword

   In his dream, Nathan carried a sword representing the awakening of the mind and the power of the intellect as the rain cleansed him. "The collective consciousness of humanity must first be cleansed before it can attain higher spiritual understanding," the High Priestess had stated.

Archangel Michael

   The High Priestess continued, "You must also meet the Archangel Michael, Like unto God. He can inspire you with the great Fire of the spirit to create balance and harmony in your sphere of influence. He commands the element of Fire, which includes the triplicity of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius and their ruling planets, Mars, The Sun, and Jupiter, all of which are powerful subtle forces personified as Gods."

Leo the Lion

   "Leo, ruled by Jupiter, is represented as a lion. Leo is a powerful energy that can enable you to know your other self, your higher self. Combined with the energies of Jupiter, you can know the harmony, magnificence, and abundance of the human spirit and the divinity of all life."

Strolling through Fire

   In his dream, Nathan walked through fire, which cleansed him. "The collective consciousness of humanity must also be cleansed by Fire before it can attain higher spiritual understanding," the High Priestess stated.

Archangel Gabriel

   The High Priestess continued, "You must also meet the Archangel Gabriel, Strength of God. He can cleanse your subconscious mind and the collective unconscious of humanity with Water, clearing away all of the negativities and horrors of personal and collective history. He commands the element of Water, which includes the triplicity of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces and their ruling planets, The Moon, Mars, and Jupiter, all of which are powerful subtle forces personified as people, animals, or Gods."

Eagle, Representing Scorpio

   "Scorpio, ruled by Mars, represents transformative power in three stages. The first stage is represented by the scorpion, which always remains close to the earth. Next is the snake, which sheds its skin, a symbol of rebirth. Finally in this transformative process is the eagle, which sees from the perspective of eternity. Combined with the energies of Mars, Scorpio enables you to experience the great power of the spirit."

Walking on Water

   In his dream, Nathan felt like he was walking on water. "After you are purified by Water, you remain free of any negativity in the depths of your subconscious mind, which results in peaceful consciousness," the High Priestess stated.

Archangel Auriel

   The High Priestess continued, "You must also meet the Archangel Auriel, God's Light. He can cleanse your etheric energies, the foundational energies of your physical body as well as the foundational subtle energies of the physical realm. He commands the element of Earth, which includes the triplicity of Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo and their ruling planets, Saturn, Venus, and Mercury, all of which are powerful subtle forces personified as people, animals, or Gods."

Taurus the Bull

   "Taurus, ruled by Venus, represents the tremendous power of the life forces--personified by the Goddess of Love. Combined with the energies of Venus, Taurus enables you to know the divinity of your own etheric and physical bodies and the holiness of all energy as it manifests in the physical realm."

Strolling through a Field of Wheat

   In his dream, Nathan was strolling through a wheat field. "With a purified etheric body, you can know the great abundance and splendor of the physical plane and feel reverence for all of Creation," the High Priestess stated.

Goddess in the Flowers

   Suddenly the High Priestess transformed into a Goddess with rainbow wings that revealed the subtle energies manifesting in the physical realm as well as the paths of the mystical Tree of Life. "Remember that to experience the descent of the divine, you must first purify your heart and mind. This is your chance now to make a difference here in your realm," she stated.
