The Rosicrucian concept of the World Soul—the First Manifestation—corresponds to similar conceptions found, in various forms, in most of the ancient occult teachings of the several great esoteric schools of philosophy. In some philosophies it is known as the "Anima Mundi," or Life of the World, Soul of the World, or World Spirit. In others it is known as the Logos, or Word. In others, as the Demiurge. The spirit of the concept is this: that from the unconditioned essence of Infinite Unmanifestation there arose an Elemental and Universal Soul, clothed in the garments of the most tenuous, elemental form of Matter, which contained within itself the potencyand latent possibility of all the future universes of the new Cosmic Circle, or Cosmic Day. This World Soul is spoken of in the Second Aphorism as "The Germ within the Cosmic Egg," inasmuch as it is regarded as the tiny germ within the egg which gradually increases in size and complexity, and takes upon itself Form and Activity... ![]() http://forum.davidicke.com/showpost....3&postcount=30 Last edited by lightgiver; 26-05-2012 at 12:21 AM. |

Cymatics (from Greek: κῦμα "wave") is the study of visible sound and vibration, a subset of modal phenomena. Typically the surface of a plate, diaphragm, or membrane is vibrated, and regions of maximum and minimum displacement are made visible in a thin coating of particles, paste, or liquid. Different patterns emerge in the excitatory medium depending on the geometry of the plate and the driving frequency...
The apparatus employed can be simple, such as the ancient Chinese spouting bowl, or Chinese singing fountain, in which copper handles are rubbed and cause the copper bottom elements to vibrate. Other examples are a Chladni Plate or advanced such as the CymaScope, a laboratory instrument that makes visible the inherent geometries within sound and music... ![]() The generic term for this field of science is the study of modal phenomena, retitled Cymatics by Hans Jenny, a Swiss medical doctor and a pioneer in this field. The word Cymatics derives from the Greek 'kuma' meaning 'billow' or 'wave,' to describe the periodic effects that sound and vibration have on matter...Composer Stuart Mitchell and his father T.J. Mitchell claim that Rosslyn Chapel's carvings contain references to Cymatics patterns. In 2005 they created a work called The Rosslyn Motet realised by matching Cymatics/Chladni patterns to the 13 geometric symbols carved onto the faces of 213 cubes emanating from 14 arches... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...6&postcount=13 |

The Art of Memory or Ars Memorativa ("art of memory" in Latin) is a general term used to designate a loosely associated group of mnemonic principles and techniques used to organize memory impressions, improve recall, and assist in the combination and 'invention' of ideas. It is sometimes referred to as mnemotechnics. It is an 'art' in the Aristotelian sense, which is to say a method or set of prescriptions that adds order and discipline to the pragmatic, natural activities of human beings...It has existed as a recognized group of principles and techniques since at least as early as the middle of the first millennium BCE, and was usually associated with training in rhetoric or logic, but variants of the art were employed in other contexts, particularly the religious and the magical...
Thoth and the Human represented by the Ape. The Ape uses the Eye of Horus (the third Eye) to look at Thoth... ![]() The Eye of Horus is the Pineal Gland, the Seat of the Imagination in the Brain... At that time people had to Learn a lot of information by Heart...To do this they used a Mnemonic System called a Memory Palace... The memory images were linked with visualized locations that could be found in architecture, books, sculpture and painting, which were seen by practitioners of the Art of Memory as Externalizations of Internal Memory...Artists used the Images that were part of the Memory Palace as a reference...The Images were linked with Universal Concepts. In the time of Middle Ages and the Renaissance people knew the Meaning of every Image that was used. Geometric Structures, Paintings, Poems and Buildings were carriers of many Levels of Meaning. Some of these levels were only known by the Inner Circle of Ancient Secret Societies... ![]() Quote:

The aureola, when enveloping the whole body, generally appears oval or elliptical in form, but occasionally depicted as circular, vesica piscis, or quatrefoil. When it appears merely as a luminous disk round the head, it is called specifically a halo or nimbus, while the combination of nimbus and aureole is called a glory. The strict distinction between nimbus and aureole is not commonly maintained, and the latter term is most frequently used to denote the radiance round the heads of saints, angels or Persons of the Trinity...
![]() The most famous example in nature of the vesica piscis is a solar eclipse. At various points in the Moon's orbit, it appears to be exactly the same size of the Sun when both are observed from Earth. As the Moon moves to cover the Sun, it forms a vesica piscis... The symbol is also used in non-Christian contexts. In various religions the almond seed has been associated with divine virgin birth. For instance the virgin nymph Nana miraculously conceived Attis by putting a ripe almond in her bosom... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...8&postcount=88 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=150 Last edited by lightgiver; 07-08-2012 at 03:09 AM. |

The Engraved Hourglass Nebula (also known as MyCn 18) is a young planetary nebula situated in the southern constellation Musca about 8,000 light-years away from Earth...Musca, under its original name Apis – the Bee, was introduced in the late 16th century by Petrus Plancius to fill the previously uncharted area around the southern pole and to provide nourishment for the nearby constellation Chamaeleon (17th-century celestial maps clearly show the chameleon's tongue trying to catch the insect).
A less-famous "Hourglass Nebula" is located inside the Lagoon Nebula...The Lagoon Nebula is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. It is classified as an emission nebula and as an H II region... ![]() Seen with binoculars, it appears as a distinct oval cloudlike patch with a definite core. A fragile star cluster appears superimposed on it...The nebula contains a number of Bok globules (dark, collapsing clouds of protostellar material)...It also includes a funnel-like or tornado-like structure caused by a hot O-type star that emanates ultraviolet light, heating and ionizing gases on the surface of the nebula... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=102 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...&postcount=433 |

The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion. It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2000 times the mass of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula...Neither Ptolemy's Almagest nor Al Sufi's Book of Fixed Stars noted this nebula, even though they both listed patches of nebulosity elsewhere in the night sky; nor did Galileo mention it, even though he also made telescopic observations surrounding it in 1610 and 1617. This has led to some speculation that a flare-up of the illuminating stars may have increased the brightness of the nebula...
![]() The first published observation of the nebula was by the Jesuit mathematician and astronomer Johann Baptist Cysat of Lucerne in his 1619 monograph on the comets (describing observations of the nebula that may date back to 1611)...His description of the center stars as different from a comets head in that they were a "rectangle" may have been an early description of the Trapezium Cluster (The first detection of three of the four stars of this cluster is credited to Galileo Galilei in a February 4, 1617 although he did not notice the surrounding nebula — possibly due to the narrow field of vision of his early telescope... The constellation Orion has its origins in Sumerian mythology, specifically in the myth of Gilgamesh. Sumerians associated it with the story of their hero fighting the bull of heaven, represented by Taurus. They called Orion URU AN-NA, which means “the light of heaven.” Their name for the constellation Taurus was GUD AN-NA, or “the bull of heaven.”...Babylonians knew Orion as MUL.SIPA.ZI.AN.NA or The Heavenly Shepherd (The True Shepherd of Anu) in the Late Bronze Age and associated the constellation with Anu, the god of the heavenly realms. Egyptians associated it with Osiris, the god of death, afterlife and rebirth. Orion was also identified with Unas, the last Pharaoh of the Fifth Dynasty, who was said to have eaten the flesh of his enemies and devoured the gods themselves to become great and bring inheritance of his power. According to myth, Unas travels through the sky to become the star Sabu, or Orion...Because pharaohs were believed to be transformed into Osiris after death, some of the greatest pyramids – the ones at Giza – were built to mirror the pattern of the stars in the constellation. To make the transformation easier, the air shaft in the King’s Chamber in the Great Pyramid was aligned with the star Alnitak, Zeta Orionis, the easternmost star in Orion’s Belt... http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...1&postcount=84 http://earthsky.org/clusters-nebulae...n-orions-sword http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=88 http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=97 |

![]() Blue is the colour of the clear sky and the deep sea.. On the optical spectrum, blue is located between violet and green...The Ishtar Gate of ancient Babylon (604-562 BC) was decorated with deep blue glazed bricks used as a background for pictures of lions, dragons and aurochs..J C reported that the Celts and Germans dyed their faces blue to frighten their enemies, and tinted their hair blue when they grew old...In the Islamic world, blue was of secondary importance to green, believed to be the favourite colour of the Prophet Mohammed..King Louis IX of France, better known as Saint Louis (1214-1270), became the first King of France to regularly dress in blue. This was copied by other nobles. Paintings of the mythical King Arthur began to show him dressed in blue. The coat of arms of the Kings of France became an azure or light blue shield, sprinkled with golden fleur-de-lis or lilies... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udEZ_JjNz4E Blue was the colour of liberty and revolution in the 18th century, but in the 19th it increasingly became the colour of government authority, the uniform colour of policemen and other public servants. It was considered serious and authoritative, without being menacing. In 1829, when Robert Peel created the first London Metropolitan Police, he made the colour of the uniform jacket a dark, almost black blue, to make the policemen look different from soldiers, who until then had patrolled the streets. The traditional blue jacket with silver buttons of the London "bobbie" was not abandoned until the mid-1990s, when it was replaced by a light blue shirt and a jumper or sweater of the colour officially known as NATO blue..The New York City Police Department, modeled after the London Metropolitan Police, was created in 1844, and in 1853, they were officially given a navy blue uniform, the colour they wear today...Blue in Hinduism: Many of the gods are depicted as having blue-coloured skin, particularly those associated with Vishnu, who is said to be the Preserver of the world and thus intimately connected to water. Krishna and Ram, Vishnu's avatars, are usually blue. Shiva, the Destroyer, is also depicted in light blue tones and is called neela kantha, or blue-throated, for having swallowed poison in an attempt to turn the tide of a battle between the gods and demons in the gods' favour. Blue is used to symbolically represent the fifth, throat chakra (Vishuddha)..True blue is an expression in the United States which means faithful and loyal...Some animals, such as giraffes and lizards, also have blue tongues...

I call bullshit. Edit: I thought I should expand upon my reply a bit. Hermeticism isn't older than the 17th century AD. Hermes Trismegistus is like his contemporary in Freemasonry, Abiff, just a play on words and makebelieve history. None of it is real. The hermeticists (a 17th century alchemical brotherhood) created the history of their Thoth/Hermes being the 'Messenger of the gods' - The greek Hermes, the Roman Mercury, the Egyptian Thoth. It's just made up though... Also, the Rosecrucian Order has got nothing to do with the Essenes, nor the Hermeticists per se. The Rosecrucian brotherhood is a Christian, protestant, right-hand, Hospitaler of France remnance. While they might use symbols (right hand) from the Essene creed, doctrine and era, the Essenes were themselves neither right-hand nor left-hand, instead seeing the two, quite probably as a lower understanding of matter. By the time the Rosecrucian brotherhood was founded in France, the Essenes for, all intents and purposes, as an organized sect, were long gone...

![]() CEREMONIAL magic is the ancient art of invoking and controlling spirits by a scientific application of certain formulæ. A magician, enveloped in sanctified vestments and carrying a wand inscribed with hieroglyphic figures, could by the power vested in certain words and symbols control the invisible inhabitants of the elements and of the astral world. While the elaborate ceremonial magic of antiquity was not necessarily evil, there arose from its perversion several false schools of sorcery, or black magic... Egypt, a great center of learning and the birthplace of many arts and sciences, furnished an ideal environment for transcendental experimentation. Here the black magicians of Atlantis continued to exercise their superhuman powers until they had completely undermined and corrupted the morals of the primitive Mysteries. By establishing a sacerdotal caste they usurped the position formerly occupied by the initiates, and seized the reins of spiritual government. Thus black magic dictated the state religion and paralyzed the intellectual and spiritual activities of the individual by demanding his complete and unhesitating acquiescence in the dogma formulated by the priestcraft. The Pharaoh became a puppet in the hands of the Scarlet Council--a committee of arch-sorcerers elevated to power by the priesthood.. These sorcerers then began the systematic destruction of all keys to the ancient wisdom, so that none might have access to the knowledge necessary to reach adeptship without first becoming one of their order. They mutilated the rituals of the Mysteries while professing to preserve them, so that even though the neophyte passed through the degrees he could not secure the knowledge to which he was entitled. Idolatry was introduced by encouraging the worship of the images which in the beginning the wise had erected solely as symbols for study and meditation. False interpretations were given to the emblems and figures of the Mysteries, and elaborate theologies were created to confuse the minds of their devotees. The masses, deprived of their birthright of understanding and groveling in ignorance, eventually became the abject slaves of the spiritual impostors. Superstition universally prevailed and the black magicians completely dominated national affairs, with the result that humanity still suffers from the sophistries of the priestcrafts of Atlantis and Egypt... http://www.sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta24.htm http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showp...8&postcount=56 Last edited by lightgiver; 22-01-2013 at 03:39 PM. |

Seriously though, am I to disclose where occult knowledge comes from? I could ask you the source of your hermetic and rosecrucian timeline? That'd be a good read I'm sure... |

Secondly, where is the evidence that anyone from this Atlantis visited ancient Egypt? Thirdly, where is the evidence for 'black magic' in Egypt and that there was in existence a group known as the Scarlet Council? The Rosicrucians like to boast their origin is in ancient Egypt because it gives them more prestige and authority but they have no evidence to prove this and I believe that the story of this mythical Scarlet Council originated with them.

It's hard to prove it either way...whether it existed or not, I mean. The whole myth of Atlantis and Lemuria, and Thoth, and other "Ascended Masters" visiting Egypt, and Babylon, as far as I can tell, is actually a story that originated with the Mystery Religion of Babylon, or the Illuminati. BTW the Illuminati, and Masons at the highest degrees call themselves "Ascended Masters", so be wary... It's a cool story, but I'm not sure if it's the real story... |

The Rosicrucians probably didn't even exist either. Andrae & his buddies wrote some cool stories, & Francis Bacon exploited the mythology to form his own brotherhood, rebranding "Christianopolis" as the "New Atlantis" in the Americas. Bacon's exploitation of the Rosicrucian furor probably paved the way for British Freemasonry & the Royal Society.

There must be some kind of way outta here said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion... I can't get no relief Business men, they drink my wine Plowman dig my earth None were level on the mind Nobody up at his word hey, hey No reason to get excited The thief he kindly spoke There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke But, uh...but you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So let us stop talkin' falsely now The hour's getting late, hey All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too Outside in the cold distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching And the wind began to howl |
