THE KEY TO ALCHEMY ACCORDING TO THE EGYPTIANS
The priests of Egypt not only used the scarab as a symbol of regeneration but also discovered in its habits many analogies to the secret process whereby base metals could be transmuted into gold. They saw in the egg of the scarab the seed of the metals, and the above figure shows the path of this seed through the various planetary bodies until, finally reaching the center, it is perfected and then returns again to its source. The words in the mall spiral at the top read: “The spiral Progress of the mundane spirit.” After the scarab has wound its way around the spiral to the center of the lower part of the figure, it returns to the upper world along the path bearing the words: “Return of the spirit to the center of unity.”

Photographer Imagines What World Cities Would Look Like Without Lights
French photographer Thierry Cohen wants to show you what the cities might look like if they went dark on a clear day, and if the photographer focused on bringing out the stars. His project Darkened Cities shows recognizable cityscapes in darkness under the night sky.
To create the images, Cohen first traveled to locations that are untainted by the light pollution of large urban areas, capturing beautiful night shots of the Milky Way floating overhead.
He then combined these photographs with manipulated photographs of various cities (e.g. San Francisco, New York City, Tokyo, Rio de Janerio) to complete the effect.
Amazing. I love this.

Leo-Virgo, the Lion and the Virgin, constitute the great astrological mystery of the zodiacal sign called The Sphinx
- “In this world period we have the division of the sign of the Sphinx into two signs (the Lion and the Virgin, soul and form) because the state of human evolution and conscious realization is that of a recognized duality.” -Alice A. Bailey ‘Esoteric Astrology’
Certainly the mind is where part of Leo’s strength derives; we can liken the lion’s orange mane to the radiatory aura of the mental body; the heart is the other source of Leo’s strength – physically and spiritually. Both Leo and Virgo each possess qualities of the heart and mind as will be explained. The dual paths of the heart and mind are inextricably entwined for human evolution.The enigmatic Sphinx is a reminder of Individualisation and the promise of the reunification of its two halves - in consciousness and physically.. The Sphinx represents human emergence from the animal kingdom (the lion), to the human kingdom (the human virgin). The lion represents the soul or solar angels, whilst the virgin represents the divine form that must contain and express the soul. Hence Virgo’s three-fold symbol:
representing the three-fold personality that must be refined and integrated. Leo-Virgo is also the father-mother that gives birth to humanity; it is will (Leo, 1st ray) and love (Virgo, 2nd ray). Leo represents Prometheus who stole fire from the gods – i.e. became individualized with the fires of manas or mind; from whence emerges Leo’s great pride - whilst Virgo is the epitome of humility.Leo-Virgo and the Second Ray of Love-WisdomLeo-Virgo is profoundly related to the duality of the second ray of Love-Wisdom. Leo is connected to the solar system as a whole through its rulership by the Sun.- “Anciently the Sphinx was called Har-em-chu or “Horus (the Sun) in the Horizon”, a form of Ra the sun-god; esoterically the risen god.” -Theosophical Glossary.
Humanity are somewhat the ‘Leo’ – a reflection of the macrocosm, especially in this Fifth Rootrace that corresponds with this fifth sign. Leo rules the physical heart and is connected to the heart chakra, expressive of Love-Wisdom. Perhaps Leo is more connected to Love and Virgo more to Wisdom, yet the second ray of Love-Wisdom finds its strongest expression through Virgo in this current cycle.Phillip Lindsay(via thepleiadian)

“… DMT is about the beyond. “Beyond what?” you may ask. Beyond the intellect, beyond the senses, beyond any devices and biological instruments for dealing with the external world. When you journey through the realms of the interior, the rules of the intellect and the values of the material world are not only irrelevant, but using them as yardsticks can create confusion. Tools of intellect are analytical, and as such are divisive. The processes of expression, communication, analysis, and intellect are tools for the ignorant. With these tools, we work our way out of the dark…”Quote by ∞Ayes(via thepleiadian)

A poet once said, ‘The whole universe is in a glass of wine.’ We will probably never know in what sense he meant it, for poets do not write to be understood. But it is true that if we look at a glass of wine closely enough we see the entire universe. There are the things of physics: the twisting liquid which evaporates depending on the wind and weather, the reflection in the glass; and our imagination adds atoms. The glass is a distillation of the earth’s rocks, and in its composition we see the secrets of the universe’s age, and the evolution of stars. What strange array of chemicals are in the wine? How did they come to be? There are the ferments, the enzymes, the substrates, and the products. There in wine is found the great generalization; all life is fermentation. Nobody can discover the chemistry of wine without discovering, as did Louis Pasteur, the cause of much disease. How vivid is the claret, pressing its existence into the consciousness that watches it! If our small minds, for some convenience, divide this glass of wine, this universe, into parts — physics, biology, geology, astronomy, psychology, and so on — remember that nature does not know it! So let us put it all back together, not forgetting ultimately what it is for. Let it give us one more final pleasure; drink it and forget it all!

The Attributes of a Crystal Child
By Sharyl Jackson
Associate Editor of Children of the New Earth Magazine
What do we know about the children of the Crystal vibration? Unlike their more “in your face” brother and sister Indigos, the Crystal children have not stirred things up - yet. September 11, 2001 was a turning point, a signal, and a gateway for this next wave of children. The Crystal children’s time has come!
Steve Rother and the Group call these kids The Peacemakers, while the Indigos have been called The Systems Busters. The Indigo kids were so named because of their distinctive indigo aura life color, indigo being the color of the third eye or the brow chakra. As such, they are very intuitive, mental, quick and easily bored. The Crystal children are so-called, not because of their aura color, but because of their high vibration. Perhaps it will be noted in time that Crystals are more dominant in the crown chakra, the violet color spectrum, even the white and clear aura.
When did the Crystal children begin to arrive? There have always been a few according to the Group. These few were acting as scouts, testing the waters, but humanity did not treat them very well. Like the one known as Jesus the Christ, most often these scouts were killed, but they served the purpose of planting the seeds. It has often been noted that “Crystal and Christ” are very similar words and in this respect offer a similar definition.
With the arrival of the Indigo children, we saw a dramatic increase in the number of children being diagnosed as hyperactive or with ADD by the medical community. Much has already been written of this phenomenon, so I shall leave that for the experts. However, I wondered how the Crystals would be labeled, so I began to observe. What I began to hear was the word “autistic.” I am now quite convinced that we will see a dramatic increase in the number of autistic children. These are really the Crystal children who are so sensitive, so vulnerable to the world around them, that they go inward, disconnect as best they can from even humans and do their best to survive in a world where they really don’t yet fit.
Back to the question of how long the Crystal children have been here: In the last four decades or so, a few more than usual began to incarnate to anchor the energy. From my observation, it was one of the hardest jobs on the planet, but somebody had to do it, so a few “Great Ones” took on the task.
How do we recognize these new children or some of the few adult Crystals who, as forerunners, anchored the necessary energies? They are not out and about raising havoc, they are quietly living in relative obscurity. I have had the pleasure and the honor, as well as the frustration, of raising one of these early Crystal pioneers who is now 28 years old. My personal experience, my intuition, and hints provided by Steve Rother and the Group are what I have used to compile a list of attributes of the children of the Crystal vibration. Please keep in mind that these attributes are not all inclusive, nor does every Crystal child necessarily exhibit every quality.
Attributes of the Crystal Children* Extremely sensitive to everything in their environment -sound, colors, negative emotions in others, smells, food, chemicals, pollutants, the “feel” of clothing, violence, and pain of others, group consciousness, electromagnetic frequencies, solar flares.
* So sensitive that they are deeply vulnerable, as well as very powerful because of their intense vulnerability.
* They must have alone time. They do not live well in groups as few others understand their need for solitude, balance, rejuvenation, and deep quiet.
* They must have daily communion with nature and elements. The Spirit of Nature will help them balance and clear all of the disharmonious energies that affect them so strongly.
* They just plain do not understand “Man’s inhumanity to Man,” war, greed, etc., and thus can easily feel totally overwhelmed by it all.
* If life should become too intense, or if they are traumatized or see and feel others being traumatized they will withdraw and disconnect from society in order to protect themselves.
* Despite being quiet and self-effacing, others admire and are drawn to them like a magnet. They will have deep and lasting connections with humans who offer the unconditional love that the Crystal knows is the only true Love.
* When a Crystal looks at you, you feel as if they have penetrated your very soul.
* They really need very little traditional parenting as they are gentle, wise, and will be able to tell you what they need, as well as what is good or not good for them. When my son was very young, he said one day, “I can never drink alcohol or take any drugs at all!” And he hasn’t!
* They will often avoid crowds or malls, as there are too many different energies at such places for them to cope with.
* They have a deep love for children and animals, and a remarkable way of connecting with all creatures.
* Water is very beneficial in clearing and soothing them. They love baths, showers, waterfalls, fountains, playing in water and sand.
* They require comfortable clothing of their choice of natural fibers and colors.
* They require lots of pure water and often prefer fresh organic food.
* It is not uncommon for these children to ‘tell’ their parents their name before they are born, and engage in other direct communication.
* Miracles and magic happen around them - money appears, animals seek them out, babies smile at them, healings occur naturally and spontaneously.
* They are extremely empathic to the point of knowing what a complete stranger in the street is feeling.
* They have a fear of intimacy because they so easily feel invaded, not respected. They would rather be alone than have their “personal body space” disregarded. They may also avoid romantic relationships for fear of hurting another if the relationship ends.
* There is an innocence, a guilelessness, a purity about Crystals; this is due to the absence of ego.
* They may need help in learning to ground their energy with physical activity, nature, sports, martial arts, yoga or dance.
* They may disrupt electrical appliances, radios, TVs, computers.
* They often refrain from showing emotion for fear of its amplification and losing control. This can make them appear to be flat or passionless.
* They can feel responsible for someone dying or getting hurt or even fighting.
* They can have periods of deep depression.
* They respond well to body work, massage, and energy work by someone who is themselves balanced. Massage and cranio-sacral therapy may be crucial to keeping their bodies healthy and pain-free.
* They will often have a high metabolism and be natural vegetarians.
* They are bright, “big-picture” individuals with an instinctual understanding of the spiritual laws, and of how it all works.
* They have a clear connection to their higher self, naturally accessing their highest guidance. It is precisely because of this connection that they know the truth of spiritual Oneness.
* They are natural healers and peacemakers.
* They are multi-talented.
* They are capable of regeneration of bone and tissue. Where most of us are gradually being upgraded - ascending to the Crystal energy, it is already in their DNA.
* They may be individuals of a few words, but everyone listens when they quietly express their wisdom with humility. However, they will not give advice without being asked and will never interfere.
Keeping all this in mind, it is possible to get a good picture or feeling of what the Crystal children are like and what they are here for. If you use your intuitive abilities to tune into the energy of these children, and create Oneness with them, the result on the planet will be astounding. -
