Just to be clear, the magic I am discussing here is not the slight of hand type of magic but the magic taught in witchcraft and other occult paths.  The spelling of magick with a “k” was first used by Aleister Crowley as an attempt to be clear as to what kind of magic he was talking about.

The general understanding of the magician is to use magic to create change according to the will of the magician.  Crowley explains in his book, Book Four, “It is theoretically possible to cause in any object any change of which that object is capable by nature.”  Crowley is explaining that magick cannot be used to work against the laws of nature so if it can’t happen naturally then magick cannot make it happen.

There are many who believe magicians, sorcerers, wizards and witches are only involved in conjuring and controlling spirits to their bidding and create change.  Here’s a definition of necromancy from http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=necromancy,

“necromancy (the belief in magical spells that harness occult forces or evil spirits to produce unnatural effects in the world).”  Many believe this is what magicians, sorcerers, wizards and witches practice in order to control their world and to control and manipulate others.  They believe the magician coerces spirits to work for him involuntarily.

If you study the history of the Middle Ages you’ll find a lot of stories about necromancy and all the horrible, evil things these “devil worshippers” practiced.  But if you look at the origin of the stories you’ll find many came from inquisitors, monks and Christian zealots seeking to create fear in an effort to coerce people to turn individuals in who may be practicing some sort of black magic, which really is any spiritual practice not in line with Christian doctrine.

Thousands of innocent people were tortured and murdered because of irrational and unfounded fear.  It’s unfortunate that so much of the truth was twisted and so many suffered as a result and all for the political agenda of a religious few.

I have to add a side note that I do believe there are those who practice black magic but this is not the magician’s path.  In Western Occultism this kind of person is called a sorcerer.  However, according to Don Juan of Castaneda’s work a sorcerer is a shaman so we have to be careful not to get lost in definitions.  When the European sorcerer works with these dark spirits, the will of the sorcerer eventually will be forfeited to these spirits.  Following this path tends to accelerate the aging of the practitioner as his life force energy is slowly siphoned off. 

There are many, many good spirits and entities that are more than willing to become an ally for the magician that it really isn’t necessary to call upon demons or evil spirits to do your bidding.  The ego so wants to dominate that it is tempting to use these evil spirits but why when there are those of a higher vibration that are waiting for us to work with them and they are safe and loving beings.

The magician’s path is one that seeks spiritual enlightenment in a way that is empowering to his self.  All religions seek to disempower their followers by telling them they must not seek out their psychic gifts because either those gifts are evil or they only feed the ego.  The magician learns the dangers of developing his psychic abilities and learns to do shadow work to keep his ego from getting him to use those powers to control others.  Once the magician does his work with his shadow he knows his ego and therefore is the master of his ego.

The magician also knows that to empower himself he must internalize and emotionalize his life’s lessons.  The way this is done is by embracing the pain and trauma surrounding the beliefs behind the lessons he is learning.  This is what I am calling shadow work because these beliefs are hidden in the subconscious or shadow part of the mind.  Bringing these beliefs to the surface, or the light, and embracing the truth about them, the magician heals his soul.

In the book Paenitere by William Blystone, William defines the initiation in to the occult as, “the calculated, conscious effort undertaken by the Neophyte to realize the spiritual powers latent within him.  These attainments steadily lead to the conscious realization of his immortal spirit, which is that gift the true Creator (God) gave him to nurture and develop when he was formed in the depths of eternity.”  William is saying that to realize one’s immortal spirit is to attain a level of illumination or enlightenment.

There is a fundamental occult truth that magic is an extension of will.  Aleister Crowley once said, “Magick is the Science and Art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will.”  This concept is diametrically opposed to the Christian teaching that the individual will must be brought into submission under Christ. 

But what does Christ mean?  Christ is a level of consciousness and when a person “submits” his will to Christ consciousness the ego is brought under submission because the individual has raised his consciousness to the level of Christ.

Another way of describing the path of learning and practicing magic is by looking at martial arts.  Martial arts can be learned by an individual and used to hurt other people or it can be learned and used to help others.  Martial arts is a mental and physical discipline in much the same way magic is a mental and physical discipline. 

In the book Self-Initiation of the Golden Dawn Tradition, Sandra Tabatha Cicero explains that all rituals from the initiate to portal grade must be carried out only under the authority of the student’s Higher Self and not under the ego of the student.  In many occult paths the student is taught how to develop a relationship with the Higher Self for the purpose of getting one’s own direction from one’s own Higher Self rather than from outside sources.

There really is a lot of confusion over what the occult actually is and what it involves due to the sensationalizing effects of Hollywood and the media.  The popular opinion is that the occult is connected with Satanism, black magic and dark ritual practices.  Occult studies refer to studying secret knowledge and for those who have inside knowledge of the occult understand its deeper spiritual connotations that go beyond the material world.

Bottom line is that most occult paths will lead the student to Self-realization and the actualizing of your potential in all your dimensions.  It is understood that your own Spirit must ultimately be your Guide and Master.  A true Magi or Master can show you the path but you must learn to follow it

Hinduism is known to be the oldest surviving Asian religion and can be traced back to four ancient works of sacred teachings called the Veda. The Rig-Veda was the first to be written with the largest collection of hymns, at 1,028 in total. These hymns were recited by the priests to invite the gods to participate in sacrificial ceremonies. Written sometime between the twelfth and eight centuries BC, and passed along by word of mouth through scholars who studied and interpreted sacred texts were so meticulous that they were successful at preserving the sound of the ancient Sanskrit hymns with near perfect accuracy. Even though the meanings of some of the words were lost, it was not considered important. The sounds not the meanings were believed to carry supernatural power.

The Rig-Veda describes sacrificial rituals including the slaying of animals to please the gods. Another part of these rituals was consuming the juice of a climbing vine, called soma (Asclepias acida). The juice was mixed with milk, filtered through sheep skin and imbibed. Soma is considered a powerful hallucinogen and it seems to give the drinker supernatural powers.

Two other Veda texts also gave a lot of attention to sacrificial rites but it was in the fourth Veda, Atharva-Veda, written around the second century BC that exposed the most interesting aspect of the Hindu religion. The teachings in the Atharva Veda were devoted to magical spells and charms designed to get rid of disease causing demons, renew the affections of a lover, win victory in battle and generate financial success. As you can guess, these incantations were a valuable political tool for the priests serving the rulers of their day.

The quest for magical powers led to asceticism in Indian thought and religion. Those who learned these magical abilities were commonly called munis (wonder workers) in the Rig-Veda. It was said they knew the secrets of the gods.

These ascetics learned these secrets through the discipline of fasting, celibacy and drinking poisons. Munis were said to accumulate these supernatural powers, called tapas, through holding uncomfortable positions for long periods of time. Their abilities included magical feats such as levitation, healing, telekinesis, translocation, and much more. Tapas were also obtained through extreme forms of self torture including sitting or lying on a bed or nails or holding a leg or arm motionless for months until it started to waste away.

Transmigration (reincarnation) came about through these ascetics and became the central doctrine of Hinduism and Buddhism. With transmigration the devout is able to escape from samsara, their undesirable condition, and achieve a state of enlightenment. A person becomes conscious of the essential identity (atman) of his or her individual soul through this mystical experience. Then he or she unites with the impersonal Supreme Being known as Brahman.

There are many paths leading to this enlightenment, but it is said that the path of the ascetic is the truest path, living a solitary life, eating very little, keeping body and mind under control through the extensive practice of meditation.

At the time of the final portion of the Veda, Upanishads, the practice of yoga consisted of sitting completely still and erect, with the eyes focused on the tip of the nose. The objective was to bring thought and senses under complete control until the mind became a single point.

Between 200 BC and 200 AD, yoga in the Bhagavad-Gita had become a name given to any practice designed to reunite the soul with God. Yoga had evolved away from its classical paths and spread across India. Yogis were gaining great respect even though traditional Hindu priests believed them to be no more than mere magicians (illusionists).

Yoga adepts were regarded as proficient masters over the force of gravity to levitate themselves right off the ground. They were also known to make certain events happen without any physical effort, solely through the force of will. Many other supernatural abilities were also attained through this practice.

At the core of the yoga techniques for obtaining supernatural abilities was strict control of the breath. It was said that through the control of the breath these accomplishments were made possible. Using special techniques the yogi would make his breathing as slow as possible, always extending the period between breaths. Some yogis would even reach the ability to hold their breath for hours.

Oprah had David Blain on her show April 30, 2008. If you were watching then you know David held his breath for 17 minutes. David is known as a stage magician but this was no magic trick.

You don’t have to be a spiritually evolved individual to learn these supernatural abilities but this is not the practice of yoga. Instead these exhibitions of supernatural ability are traps on the path to enlightenment. The Buddha himself warned of the dangers of “showing off” magical abilities. Showing off is from the ego and when the ego is under your mastery, you will not have any desire to “show off” your abilities.

Disciplining the body and the mind to attain these supernatural abilities does not get you closer to realizing your true spiritual Self. These abilities could even be used to harm others. The greatest reward one can gain from developing these special abilities is to learn them after properly learning to be the master of the ego.

While I was learning yoga I was discouraged from seeking psychic abilities because it would only make me a slave to my ego. Many yoga masters will not teach their disciples these supernatural abilities until the disciple has proven mastery over his or her ego. Once the ego was under control, it was considered safe to teach the disciple these powerful abilities.

I do want to note that each individual always be building and expanding his or her psychic abilities to communicate with the spirit world. The spirit world is actually more real than our 3 dimensional world and it holds all the answers to any question any of us could have ask. Being able to communicate with the spirit world will help you on your spiritual path to greater enlightenment and empowerment.

If you’re interested in building your supernatural powers using yoga then I suggest studying Kriya or Kundallini yoga. It is best to use the guidance of a teacher to properly prepare for this path. Also Sri Auribindo taught the importance of spiritual evolution which can be found in developing psychic abilities.

I personally know what it feels like to encounter uncomfortable financial pressure since I experienced a period of time when I was unable to pay my bills.  There is a growing feeling of hopelessness among the people of this planet but if more people learn how to heal their pain and trauma, things can turn around.  In fact, healing your pain and trauma is one of the steps to preparing yourself for becoming a “light body.”

What’s important to keep in mind during these dark times is that we are not alone.  We have a reason for being here and it’s not to struggle with money, career, relationships or other difficulties but to awaken spiritually through connecting with our divine selves.  We are here to evolve spiritually and make our connection with the stars.  This is something we are doing collectively.

We know through ancient Egyptian text that the Egyptian temples were not places of worship but a place for doing soul work in preparation for entering gates, located in various places on earth, and traverse to the stars.

The Cherokee say there are 12 portals placed strategically around the earth which corresponds with Plato who said if you could see the earth from afar you would see the planet as a 12 angled pyramid or a decahedron. 

Abydos is a city in Egypt that was known as the gate to the underworld where this world met the other dimensional world or gateway to the quantum realm.  Before Mecca and before Jerusalem people went to Abydos. 

According to unsubstantiated reports, if a portal opens and you stumble on to it, you can find yourself teleported to another place.  In the movie Contact, Jodie Foster’s character went through a wormhole to travel through the universe and this is really what we’re talking about here.  Carl Sagan revealed this in his book Contact.  These wormholes underpin all of reality.

The big question is whether we will ever learn how to open a wormhole wide enough to allow the physical body to pass through.  Instead we should focus more on the soul being able to use them.  The ancient stories were not focused on the human body itself going through the gates but the body was seen as a transitional phase that enables us to open the gate so our soul can travel through it.

There are gateways throughout the planet that receive star energies and then there are other gates that are literal teleportation systems that take you from earth to stars.   The body itself, in a way, can be seen as a stargate. 

Is there something big about to happen?  Yes, most definitely and it’s accelerating.  We’re opening to the realization that we’re not just the sun and solar system but we are part of a galaxy.  What happens in the center of the galaxy affects us here on the earth.  We’re also shifting from purely organic beings to partly silicon based beings.  We’re seeing this in our ability to use computer technology to accentuate our skills.

This big change or shift that we are sensing seems to have everything to do with what we understand of the Myan prophecy for 2012.  The Myans seem to describe a portal or wormhole opening in the center of the galaxy and an enlightened being or group of enlightened beings are to emerge.  Today’s scientists are finding out more and more about the center of our galaxy and the black hole located there.

The Egyptians said that those portrayed as coming through stargates and wormholes were light beings and were a vastly advanced civilization that were here thousands of years ago. These light beings may have been same ones the Egyptians described as the founders of earth civilization. 

A light being is an extraterrestrial and the Egyptians said they came from and return to a place called the field or dimension of the blessed.  This is the original conception of heaven.  They also specifically talked about star systems Orion and Sirus meaning they were able to travel between dimensions and between the stars.

Every single culture around the world has a term to describe a being known to the Myans as a messianic being called Quaxecoatl.  This being is part earthly and part heavenly and was most likely an enlightened being or cosmic being who has achieved the ultimate human transformation by putting on the most sacred body, perfect body, a luminous body.  These light beings are coming into our world to bring new knowledge on how we ourselves can become these sacred or divine beings.

The akhu, which is an ancient Egyptian word that literally means, beings of light, wise instructed folk, and the light god are also known as transfigured spirits.  Jesus himself showed a couple of his disciples his ability to transfigure into a being or body of light.

The transfiguration of Jesus into a light body as a demonstration to Peter, James and John - Russia. 17th century

According to Egyptian creation mythology a group of luminous beings came to earth and founded an island civilization.  There later was a cataclysm and the island civilization was destroyed.  The light beings left and then came back to restart human civilization.  Hmmm…does that sound like Atlantis?

Ancient Sumeria is also connected with Sirius and show these beings in winged discs or craft of some sort very similar to modern day UFOs.  They may not have been metallic but very well could have been a biological craft.

We are evolving right now and are getting ready to graduate kindergarten and move in to 1^st grade, cosmically speaking.  This means we are awakening and expanding our consciousness leading to more control over the elements which will give us more control over our destiny.

In Western astrology we have twelve constellations represented by the twelve horoscope signs that mark out one year.   Each of these constellations also marks an age called a “constellation age” and lasts about 2,160 years.  Some of these astrologers tell us we are now entering a new constellation age called the Age of Aquarius.  This concept of constellation ages came from ancient Greek and Egyptian science where the “shifting of the ages” is based on an astronomical phenomenon called the precession of the equinoxes.

The precession of the equinoxes is determined by the wobble of the Earth on its axis.  The Earth spins on its axis every 24 hours, giving us our daily sunrise and sunset.  The Earth is like a spinning top and wobbles or precesses on its axis as it is spinning.  According to modern astronomical calculations, one full wobble or one full precessional cycle takes about 25,800 years.  This can be observed by the sun rising in different constellations over this time meaning the sun has been rising in the constellation of Pisces and soon the sun will rise in the constellation of Aquarius.

In the book, Hamlet’s Mill, it is noted that during the precessional cycle, the sun will periodically line up with the Milky Way.  The authors also wrote that about 6,400 years ago (4400 BC) the fall equinox sun lined up with the Milky Way, and this was called the Golden Age found in many myths.  As the precession ended so did the harmonious celestial alignment.  The authors of Hamlet’s Mill suggest this slipping out of harmony resulted in our descent into violence and the rise of patriarchal society based on hierarchies that began in the Middle East and spread to form our own Western Tradition.

The Milky Way can be observed as a band of stars stretching across the night sky.  In ancient Mesoamerica, dark blotchy areas could be observed in the Milky Way during the clear night skies.  These dark formations, caused by interstellar dust, were called the “dark-rift” or the “Great Cleft” of the Milky Way.  These formations looked a lot like a road and it pointed right at the crossing point called by the Maya the center of the Sacred Tree.  The sun will be in this same place again in 2012.

Just a side note:  This crossing point mentioned above was symbolized by a cross by itself or a cross with a circle like the two pictures below.

Look familiar?  The longer leg of the cross represents the point where our sun lined up with the center of the galaxy. 

The road seen in the Milky Way was called the Black Road and was believed to be a road to the underworld.  In much of Mayan art we see this Black Road as having something to do with a portal where the gods traveled through to get to the earth. 

All galaxies have a center and it’s considered a womb where new stars are born and thrust out into the galaxy’s arms.  Our galaxy’s center is where everything in our solar system has come from, including us.  On the winter solstice of 2012 there will be a rare conjunction of the sun with the galactic center and due to the higher density of the stars close to the galactic plane, mass extinction periods on earth has been experienced possibly due to an increase of impacts from meteors and other such cosmic debris.

The Ouroboros is a symbol inspired by the Milky Way Galaxy and refers to the ring or band of light seen in the heavens on a clear night.  The point of the Ouroboros, where the serpent is eating it’s tail, can be seen when our sun is crossing the galactic center near the constellation Sagittarius.  The symbol showing the sun rising out of the mouth of the Ouroboros is called Suntelia Aion which is Greek for “The End of the Age” and will occur December 2012. 

The precession of the equinoxes is not a new concept.  Researcher R. A. Schwaller d Lubicz reveals, in his book Sacred Science, evidence that the ancient Egyptians were aware of the precession of the equinoxes.  J. L. E. Dreyer found three Babylonian tablets, each from a different era, shows different posisitions for the equinox proving the Babylonian astronomers understood the precessons.  Scholar David Frawley shows that the Vedic astronomers of ancient India, were also aware of the precessions and this knowledge could very well go back as far as 6,000 years.  William Sullivan shows us that knowledge of the precessions was well known among the people of the New World.  In Sullivan’s book The Secret of the Incas, he tells us the Incas had an understanding of the precessional phenomenon.

The Pleiadian Agenda, by Barbara Hand Clow, explores the alignment in 2012 in a deeper, more multidimensional way.  Clow shows us her insights of ancient history and the relationship humans have always had with the cosmos.  This connection goes much deeper than just the physical, and this forces us to think in terms of dimensions.  Clow explains that we are right now entering a new phase of spiritual growth that is being influenced by our galaxy.

There is possible evidence that 2012 will have an impact on life as we know it.  According to Dennis and Terence McKenna, in their book The Invisible Landscape, explain the 2012 alignment could implicate the galaxy as a major formative influence upon the structure of the molecules that maintain and define life.  Interesting enough, the McKennas arrived at the date of 2012 without the use of the Mayan calendar.

It seems to me the Mesoamerican shaman had an understanding of specific types of alignments in the cycle of precession and that it stimulated the evolution of life on earth.  The ancient people of the world understood the profound implications the precession had in pushing life on earth to higher complexity and levels of organization that the end result is the full realization of spirit and consciousness in all living things on this planet. 

There is an understanding with the Maya of the 260 day cycle as the period of individual human gestation, and the 26,000 year cycle is our collective gestation as a species.  This knowledge is found encoded in their calendars and myths.  It seems these truths of the Maya includes 2012 as a zero point for this evolutionary process and is seen as a collective spiritual birth.

We are experiencing a major transformation process that seems to be propelling us ever deeper within ourselves.  To resonate with each other in a love-based vibration we must learn to stop resisting the experiences and start flowing with these new changes occurring within us.  When we grow in love for the Self we assist in raising the vibration of others and the planet making the passage through this time of change easier.

This is a time of spiritual awakening where we reunite our fragmented soul, individually as well as collectively.  Reuniting the soul can only come through healing that comes through emotional awareness.  Raising your awareness and embracing your fears, pain, and your humanness you will find yourself on a whole different level of consciousness.  This higher level of consciousness will make our journey through the Holy Cross a safe passage into a galactic awareness where we move into a cosmic reality.

The Osiris Device

The Osiris device is a technology that was called the Ta-Wer (pronounced tower) or the Bond Between Heaven and Earth, and it functioned as a ladder or stairway to heaven.  Isis is depicted in some of the paintings as operating the Osiris device and a pharaoh is serving food to this device meaning it is peaceful.  There are no dead bodies or blood required for this god.

The Babylonian concept of sin, which came from Egypt, tells us the temples were not places of worship but places of work or workshops.  In order to serve food and work for the gods in the temples they had to be pure.  They had to do the “great work” to purify themselves which in turn made them gods.  This is what Alchemists called Magnum Opus or the Great Work where one transforms an impure soul into a pure soul.

The way the gods knew you weren’t doing the work is your hair turned gray and you aged.   Therefore, not doing the work was their definition of sin. 

In the picture below the Osiris device is shown on a boat or ark meaning Osiris is to traverse the heavens.  This ark looks very much like a wormhole if you look at the pictures below.  If this is true then what does the Osiris device, the ladder to heaven, have to do with a wormhole?  In the Osiris myth we find Osiris entering the tail of a serpent and then coming out the mouth.  What if the serpent is a wormhole through which Osiris is using to travel? 

In this picture notice the shape of the ends of the boat. 

Now look at this Stephen Hawking graphical depiction of a wormhole and notice the similarities.

William Henry believes the Osiris device is a particle accelerator used to open the wormhole. 

By looking at the paintings in the Osiris temple in Abydos we find what looks like Sety transforming into the Osiris device and then emerging on the other side of a wormhole where the fruit of the tree of life await him.

In the picture below you will see the Osiris device on top of the ship and Sety at the front of the ship.  Sety is transformed into an Osiris device and has emerged on the other side of the wormhole seen on the right side of the ship.  Sety would have entered the beginning of the wormhole on the left side and emerged on the other side seen on the right side of the picture.

When Sety emerges there is fruit waiting for him from the Tree of Life.

A wormhole is not like what was depicted in the Stargate movie where someone just willy nilly walks through the gate.  A person has to go through a lot of preparation to be able to use a wormhole.  There is a transfiguration or resurrection process that needs to take place.

Ishtar also used a similar device in Sumerian carvings.  You see a serpent passing into or out of the pillar Ishtar is operating.  This pillar was used to raise spiritual vibration in preparation for entering the gate of the gods. 

So how does one raise their vibration?  Raising the kundalini is one way.  I have also found toning or chanting “Om” is a good way to raise one’s vibration.  Another very powerful way, that I’ve personally experienced, is doing shadow work or soul retrieval.  Doing this kind of work clears out and heals the parts that keep a person’s vibration low.  Once you have cleared or healed your soul then you’ll notice other exercises found on the spiritual path of your choice will be much more effective in raising your vibration even higher.

It is important to note that the chakras are known as a ladder or stairway and the chakra system works like a conduit or connection between heaven and earth.    

“The body is a vehicle and it’s up to us to connect with the essence.  Life must be a preparation for transition to another dimension,” Terence McKenna.  We’re only now beginning to understand parallel universes, dimensions, and wormholes so it’s not hard to see how this all could really be true.

According to the Koran, Osiris is the Arabic pronunciation for Idris, a prophet who was known as the instructor.  The Osiris device provided instruction and Osiris when depicted as a humanoid in paintings is always green and holds a green rod or wand in his hand.  The rod is a living branch from the tree of life and channels life force energy or vivifying sap from the Milkyway.  In 2012 we’ll see a return of this substance. 

We are on the threshold of awakening.  We did not originate on this planet.  We are starwalkers, stargate travelers and we come from the stars. 

“Messianic consciousness is not something that comes in the future, it is our intrinsic nature.  It is our birthright, available to all of us here and now.  Although obscured over the millenia by clouds of ignorance, its light continues to shine in the divine sparks at the core of our being.”  (Rabbi David Cooper, God is a Verb)

In Egypt Osiris was overlaid on the earth - he was Egypt.  His companion Isis was the star Sirius and her light renewed Osiris every year.  The book The Lost Star of Myth and Time, by Walter Cruttenden, explains this in detail.  According to Cruttenden, Sirius is our binary star and Sirius has an electro-magnetic field.  We rotate around another electro-magnetic field found at the center of the galaxy.  At certain times we enter that field and we are bathed.  Other times we are too far away from the center and we need a device to tap in to this source of renewing energy.  This energy seems to activate our latent abilities found in our DNA.

There is a secret I want to share with you that very few people know about.  There are numerous early Christian paintings depicting Jesus with short curly hair, clean shaven, and a wand in his hand.

When I first saw these paintings my eyes nearly popped out of my head.  I remember as a Christian being told that magic (or magick) was evil and the occult was something very dangerous.  But here it is, Jesus using a wand to perform his miracles.  How could this be?

Before I go any further on this subject it is necessary to take a look at Osiris to better understand where the idea of using a wand came from.   Most of us understand Osiris to be a god, a human-like being, and this is one way he was portrayed.  But according to William Henry, Osiris is also portrayed as a Pillar, Device or World Tree.  In other words, Osiris was a device used by the ancient Egyptians. 

The Osiris device was a technology and symbol for a whole host of sciences.  The Egyptians called Osiris a ladder or stairway to heaven.  The pharaoh served food to Osiris as a sacrifice and what’s interesting is the sacrifice never included blood, animals, or humans, which makes the Osiris completely peaceful

Raising Lazarus, water to wine, multiplication of loaves, and the widow’s son

Jesus depicted in ancient Christian sarcophagi 4th and 5th century work

So what is the wand in Jesus’ hand?  It was said to be a branch from the Tree of Life (the Osiris device). Students of Judeo-Christian prophecy claim that the ‘End Time’ will see the appearance of Revelation 12’s ‘woman clothed with the sun’ who bears a child who rules with a rod of iron. It will also see the return of the prophet Elijah and the rebuilding of Solomon’s Temple, an act that is instrumental in the creation of the New Thousand Years of Peace.

It is thought that Elijah will return the Rod of Jesse – the rod signifying his power, a branch from the Tree of Life - to the Messiah, who will be seated on the Mercy Seat in the Holy of Holies of Solomon’s Temple on Mount Moriah. He will replace the Ark of the Covenant that had symbolized him, in the place where God is believed to have first walked with Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden.

Just as a branch from the Tree of Life was kept before the Ark of the Covenant, he will set the Rod of God before himself on the Throne of God, where the Tree of Life had grown in the Garden of Eden.

After the Church council met in 400 AD they decided to have all pictures depicting Jesus to have a beard, long hair, and no wand.  After this time you no longer work for the gods but now worship a god in a master/slave relationship.  You can aspire to be like god but you will never be equal to god.

So why did they take Jesus’ wand away?  Well, like William Henry says, “You can’t have a planet full of Christ like beings running around because they don’t pay taxes and they are completely unmanageable.”

So how does this help you on your spiritual path?

Very good question, I’m glad you asked.  The very idea that early Christians show Jesus with a wand reminds me of the fact that all religions were/are all man-made.  There’s nothing wrong with that but it means these are spiritual systems to help you to grow spiritually but should never be taken as from God or even from the gods.  Religion is man’s way of trying to get back to where we were before the “fall.”  

So what was the “fall” all about?  I’m going to save that for another article.
