Mercury

Mercury is the winged Messenger of the gods. His symbol shows him connecting heaven and earth with a column of energy. He has winged feet and connects with intuition, prophecy and communication. The symbol signifies the energy, chi, prana, or bioenergy, which continuously flows between heaven and earth in a normal human being. Not one of the wolf children but someone like Gautama Buddha, the Prophet or Jesus Christ

This Greek symbol also became mixed up in Alchemy. It is meant to symbolise what happens when Bioenergy, prana or chi flows correctly and is enhanced and awakened in the central column and both sides of the spine. However, in order to hide the mystical and spiritual meaning from the messengers of the Roman Catholic Inquisition, who tortured and murdered millions of innocent people in the middle ages, the spiritual Alchemists threw up a smokescreen and pretended that their Mystical symbolism referred to chemical elements.

Many people wasted their energies on heating the metal mercury and some even poisoned themselves with its vapour.

The money minded tried Spiritual Alchemical formulae which in reality showed how the purification of the lower energy centres, the animal side of man, would eventually raise greater energies within the spinal column and eventually power the higher head centres. When the higher head centres become activated with the enhanced energies of the spine then the Universal Source of Energy is accessed, the aura of the head centres becomes golden. In many stories, the hair becomes golden as in the story of Iron John. The true gold is getting in contact with higher spiritual energies.

The money minded tried to create the metal gold, which in spiritual terms is Fools Gold, through translating these spiritual formulae into physical terms. A method doomed to failure. The science of chemistry, although not originally intended by the Alchemists, eventually grew out of this search for money and gold.

The Staff of Aescepulus and Jacobs Ladder.

The Greek Myths include many lessons sent in symbol by the wise sages of the past the staff shows a central column of energy intertwined with two streams of energy. They intertwine around the Seven major Energy centres of the spine. When this occurs correctly then true healing happens and we become enlightened.

Medical doctors of the present day have adopted this symbol without understanding its meaning which is that healing only happens when all the Energy Centres are activated and working properly.

If you are not Enlightened you are sick!

Bioenergy of many higher and higher frequencies is needed to perform healing. However, what is that healing whose eventual end can only be a so-called "natural" death? Real healing is the integration of the chakras with the Universal Energy Source or Enlightenment.

In the spine, there are three streams of energy. A central column of energy and two others, one to the left and one to the right. Along the spine are seven major energy centres connected by the central column. The stream to the right of the central column is the male side controlling the sympathetic nervous system, the fight or flight reaction, the energy of action. The stream to the left is the female side controlling the Parasympathetic nervous system which, through the vagus nerve controls speed of the pulse beat from the heart. When the vagus nerve is activated the heart slows down and the body is relaxed.

Manic depression is common and occurs when the right and left energies are uncontrolled through the presence in their Aura of an Entity. When a person is stuck on the right, the male manic side, then the body becomes wiry and thin and heart attacks become prevalent. When stuck on the left, the female depressive side the person becomes lethargic and fat and easily depressed. The physical base of these energies is the perineum in the male and the vulva in the female. Their other control point is the left and right nostrils. Blocked nostrils and mucus show a blockage of these energies due to incinerator pollution or pestices in the food. Thus, here at SOL we recommend Non Pesticided Organic Food.

Activation of these energies means the normal energies flowing in the spine are increased due to correct connection, removal of blockages in the Energy Centres and Channels, and strengthening of the spinal energy channels. Problems in the awakening can be due to any one of these three. This can be called the awakening of the Kundalini. Kundalini activation of the Left channel activates the side of the brain awakens prophesy, intuition and prediction. Kundalini awakening of the Right channel awakens the side of the brain controlling healing and the giving of energy, control over nature, matter and the mind. However, Kundalini awakening of either the right or left channels alone is an unbalanced awakening and can lead to madness.

The balanced Kundalini awakening of the central channel, called in the Sanskrit "Sushumna", means liberation from the dream of life and death. Liberation in this life. When the right and left energies are balanced, the central column can become activated and the person can then choose whether they want to be active or relaxed.

Then the male and female become balanced.

This is symbolised by the Lovers and Art in the Tarot pack. When the male and female marry, then an androgynous figure is produced. The child of this marriage is the child Horus. The uneducated Essence. Connection with your Higher Self. Your Soul. Enlightenment.

Each chakra has its own function. In total, they comprise the mind. They communicate together along the communication bus, the wiring, of the spine. The spinal chord is connected to the brain. It is made from the same type of cells as the brain. It is surrounded by the same fluid as the brain. Most people are fragmented. They are composed of many different parts, some of which are not functioning. When even the parts are not functioning, how can they start to communicate together? How can they come to that fuller functioning, when they start to function in groups, as a gestalt?

The purpose of this Chapter is to show how these chakras can begin to group together when they come to full functioning. When this happens, more energy flows through each chakra and along the spine. More energy flowing creates a lot of spiritual light. The natural aim of humanity is to evolve towards this. To become Enlightened!

Previously I discussed the functions of the lower chakras. I described the major blockages of the chakras. The first Level of Energy Enhancement is to work on each of the lower three chakras to get rid of these blockages to their full functioning. Also to work a little on the communication between them. The Spine.

Hatha Yoga is a preliminary practise to Energy Enhancement and works on each of the Chakras in turn.

As we start to use the breath as a tool to get rid of the negative energies in the chakras, so we begin to improve their functioning. Blockage shows as stiffness and tension in the body. As we progress this stiffness begins to disappear, giving us feedback as to exactly what stage we are at.

Usually our bodies are only 80% perfect. We still need to work on that 20% of imperfection. Some people are very flexible but are held back by not yet having worked on the communication aspect of the chakras. Perhaps their higher chakras have not yet come to full functioning. Hatha yoga is a good start. I prefer Yoga to Massage, Rolfing, Feldenkreis, Aromatherapy, Osteopathy, Acupuncture, Herbalism, Iridology, etc, etc, because it is something we can do for ourselves. When things are done to us we cannot maintain the progress given to us and soon slip back to our previous state.

Unless we support these techniques by some other regular practice which we do for ourselves. All the above practices benefit the people learning them and practicing them, mainly.

When things are done to us they give us a boost. They show us what is possible. They can give us the faith and enthusiasm to move onwards on our own path. So all of the above practices are good if supported by your own practice.

Usually the easy path is the path to hell. We actually need to work for a long time, regularly and with enthusiasm to make real and lasting progress. We do this because we need to know, deeply, within ourselves, intuitively. It cannot be a surface, facile knowing. Intellect and knowledge are not enough. Our wiring needs to be in place. Our chakras need to be working correctly. The juice needs to be flowing.

Energy Enhancement techniques begin with Hatha yoga. Not just working on parts of the body, the chakras, but also boosting the positive Energy in them with pranayama techniques, chanting and Mantra Yoga which are far more powerful than physical yoga alone. All of the techniques above are helpful to get over major blockages.

Energy Enhancement also can use techniques taken from Dancing to show us how to use our movement centres and free up movement centre blockages. This teaches us grace and economy in movement. This is something that Hatha yoga does not teach. Also helpful are the gentler Martial Arts working with Energy or Chi like Aikido, Chi Gong or Tai Chi. These help to loosen up the breath and emotions and educate the movement centre.

After all that. To move forward we need to learn and practice some meditation technique. Energy Enhancement uses meditation and gives that technique in our first Stage of teaching. We usually practice meditation alongside our Hatha Yoga. Again, feedback on our spiritual state is seen by how well we can sit, breath and allow our minds to clear.

Meditation is based on sitting, moves forward into breathing correctly and finishes with a clear and steady mind. Just sitting in a steady and comfortable position can start to ease out tension from the lower chakras. Just sitting provides us with feedback on how we are doing in our spiritual practice. Our breathing shows us our emotional steadiness and the work with the mind progressively makes it more energetic, clear and powerful.

Energy Enhancement also gives techniques symbolised by VITRIOL from Alchemy, the Sword in the Stone from the Arthurian Myth and the Yin Yang sign of Taoism, amongst many others. The aims of these techniques are to further clear tension from the lower chakras by powerful techniques of grounding, and to improve the communications between the chakras through the Circulation of the Energies.

This powerful symbol contains within it the seven chakras. It also shows how they work in pairs to energise each other. It shows the order of the Integration of the Chakras on the path of Enlightenment. The pairing happens in stages at first but eventually the three pairings work in parallel, progressively towards Enlightenment.

There are Three triangles of Energy within a human being.

The Lower Triangle of the Seal of Solomon is grounded in the Earth. It cannot raise its eyes above the horizon. It has all the faults and all the virtues of the three chakras of which it is composed. The animal man. The lower triangle consists of ;--the Base chakra-hips, - Mooladhara, Dark Red.   Second Chakra- abdomen,- Swadhisthana, Yellow, and Third Chakra-solar plexus- Manipur, Orange like the sun. The beast part of the Sphinx and the Centaur and Pan.

Animal-like, when these chakras are filled with the pain and bad memories of the past and all our past lives then they are blocked. They cannot perform their natural function of supplying energy to the upper chakras. When they are filled with negative energy then they are called the selfish ego. That which is separate from the higher chakras, the Soul.

Only techniques like Energy Enhancement which first works to eliminate all the negative energies from the lower chakras can start to rise higher.

This is the Grounding of negative energies of the First Level of Energy Enhancement.

The Upper Triangle of the Seal of Solomon shows the person who has their head in the clouds. They do not feel as if they were meant to be on this planet. They think wonderful thoughts but are powerless to ground them. Powerless to make them reality. They float through this world disdaining the stupidity, cupidity and earthiness of the majority.

The Upper Triangle Consists of the Seventh Chakra, Crown chakra - Sahasrara, White, The Fifth chakra, Throat chakra - Vishuddhi, Blue, and the Sixth chakra, Ajna chakra, Lilac.

This shows the Angelic man. The human head of the Sphinx and the Centaur. The Higher Self. The Soul. The Monad. The Source.

Again, what is needed first is the Grounding of Negative Energies. They are not Earthed,Grounded in the land. They have not got their feet on the ground. They are De-Feet-ed before they start.

The great task is to bring both of these triangles together. On their own they are much less than when they are united. 

To put the head on the beast AS WITH Stage 4 of Energy Enhancement. 

As in the symbol of Krishna the Master, and Arjuna the charioteer in the Bhagavad Gita. 

The joining of the triangle means to have a master, the Soul, controlling the charioteer, the intellect, driving the horses, the emotions. It means creating Zorba the Buddha. 

It is the great marriage of the earth and the heavens creating an androgyne figure and the birth of the child, Horus. The great union of Yin and Yang.

The Master or control chakra for both these triangles, bringing them both together, is first the Heart centre and then the Heart centre in the Head, the Alta Major centre Ajna chakra or the Brow chakra - The Third Eye.

At the energy moves towards the Second initiation the heart is only at the frequency of the Second (Abdomen, Yellow) moving energy up into the Fifth (Throat, Blue) the mixture of their colours, Yellow and Blue, allows the heart to be a nice Green Colour.

However, as the energy rises towards the Third Initiation the energy starts to rise more from the Base (Hips, dark Red) to the Heart centre in the Head - a mixture of the Heart Centre in the Head, the Alta Major Centre at the back of the head which is Majenta or deep pink and the Ajna Chakra, brow Chakra, which is lilac in colour. And also into the Crown chakra, mainly, the connection with the soul which is white. A mixture of Dark red, base, and Crown, white, is the Third initiation Pink colour of the Heart

The interlinking of the above two triangles and Ajna Chakra compose the Hexagram. It is a symbol of union. Of Enlightenment.

The Chakras, the Seal of Solomon,

The Higher Triangle consists of Sahasrara chakra, Ajna chakra and another chakra at the back of the head - The Alta Major centre. They start to work together when the Base chakra starts to function.

Under the action of first the Heart and then Ajna Chakra, the three pairs of chakras start to communicate

This interlinking within the Hexagram shows the pairing of the chakras as they start to function at a higher level. Each pairing increases the power passing through the Heart centre in the head. The pairings start to occur in the order below. Then the enhancement of their energies progress all at the same time, in parallel. They eventually get confirmed, cemented, crystallised in their function in the order below. From this confirmation or initiation there is no slipping back. When the third pairing is confirmed, this is generally known as enlightenment.

First Initiation, the Solar plexus powers the Heart.

Second Initiation, the Second chakra powers the Throat.

Third Initiation, the Base chakra powers the Head.

The Symbol of Energy Enhancement

and The Synthesis of Light (SOL)

Copyright © 1999 [The Synthesis of Light Limited (SOL)]. All rights reserved.

The Symbol

Each tip of the triangles encloses a coloured circle which symbolises an Energy center or Chakra which is a parallel processor of the brain including all the unconscious functions.

2. A violet circle symbolising Ajna Chakra or the Brow Chakra or the Third Eye. Its function is that of the intellect, the Master control center of all the chakras and Psychic powers.

3. A blue circle symbolising Visshuddhi Chakra or the Throat Chakra. Its function is that of Purity and of creativity for the benefit of all.

2. The yellow circle symbolises Swadisthan Chakra, the Sacral Chakra in the abdomen. Its function is that of relationships and of the personal creation of children. It is the sexual chakra.

3. The orange, sun-like circle symbolises Manipura chakra, the Solar Plexus Chakra. Its function is power. The power to command, the power to obtain that which is neccessary.

The Center of the Symbol

The Pink circle in the centre symbolises the heart centre (Symbolised by the 12 lotus petals) which draws together the two triangles. With the heart in the centre, only the initiate is symbolised. However, the symbol also includes the Adept when the Heart centre is swapped with Ajna chakra, making Ajna Chakra the centre of the Symbol.

The awakening of the Heart is the first stage of awakening without which nothing else can happen.

This needs to have Ajna Chakra in the centre.

is from the solar plexus to the heart (A line between the Solar plexus and the Heart on the left of the symbol). The transmutation of irritation, anger and personal desire and wanting towards unselfishness and the knowledge of the law that whatever is given in one direction comes back from another direction.

As we give, so do we receive.

Energy moves freely from the abdomen to the throat (A line between the two circles on the right of the symbol). From the personal creation of babies in the Second Chakra to the Creativity for the benefit of all in the fifth chakra. The transcendance and mastery of close personal relationships.

3. The Third Initiation

is from the base into the three head chakras (A line in the centre of the symbol from the base chakra, through Ajna chakra in the centre up to Sahasrara chakra above). A line from Earth up to Heaven. A change in the direction of the energy symbolising the awakening of Kundalini Energy and the connection with the Higher Self and the Universal Energy.

The Heart Chakra Lotus

In this symbol, each of the 12 petals contains a different religious symbol. This signifies "The Truth is one. The paths are many." In the East 12 petals on the Lotus, chakra symbolises the Heart Chakra.

This is the Heart of religion in the awakening of the Heart.

The Solar Plexus to the Heart and the First and Second Levels of Energy Enhancement.

The Second chakras energy to the Throat and the Second Level of Energy Enhancement.

Third, the Base chakra powers the Head.

This is a Phrase originally spoken by the Buddha. It is the essence of the path of integration as revealed in the explanation of the Seal of Solomon

Intellectually we can know that selfishness is a function of the selfish lower ego which resides as blockages in the Solar Plexus Chakra. Generosity and unselfishness for its own sake is a removal of this blockage and an opening of the Heart Chakra. Simply by Opening the Heart we can remove these blockages and this is what we do in Levels 1 and 2 of Energy Enhancement.

This is because of the pain of disappointment, when we do not get what we selfishly want, which then resides in and becomes a blockage to the Second, Swadhisthana, Abdominal or Relationship Chakra. The removal of this blockage is non-attachment. "Attachment leads to Pain" said the Buddha. Non attachment is an energetic process taught in Level 3 of Energy Enhancement.

All these blockages are energy blockages which stop the flow of Energy in our bodies. Where energy flow becomes less, like silt deposited where the flow of rivers becomes less, so toxins are deposited in the bodies where there are blockages. There the bodies become stiff and pain us. There is the start of Old Age. When our bodies become stiff, painful and do not allow us to follow our Soul Path, then we desire to die and our Soul allows us to die because we cannot fulfill our life path any more.

We start to die when we cannot ground our blockages. Each blockage in any part of our body is a failure of the Base Chakra and because our Base Chakra, through Kundalini Energy powers the Head Chakras, any blockage to the Base Chakra then becomes a blockage to the Crown Chakra whose major function is the connection to our souls.

This is the meaning of the Buddhist phrase Desire, Pain Old Age and Death. This explanation is also the key to the resolution of the problem.

a. Bottom up we can solve this problem by focussing on freeing the blockages to the body and not doing the things which cause them.

b. Top Down we can focus on the positive aspects of the Higher chakras for the Integration.

1. The Opening of the Heart for the First Initiation.

2. Non-Attachment for the Second Initiation.

3. The connection to our Souls for the Third initiation..

C. As above, So Below.

Freeing one will free the other. The solution to the problem is to Free all the body of all the blockages by not doing things which will lead to evil and doing those things which will lead to good. This also is seen in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali As the Yamas (Things to do) and the Niyamas (Things not to do). See also the Ascending and Descending forces symbolised in the Swastika and the Altar Pillars in St Peters in Rome.

The only way to do this is to become attached to the highest frequency of Energy. To God. To the One God with 10,000 names.

Once referred to as Brahma in the Hindhu Pantheon. And there, Brahma was once the Highest God. Now, there are thousands of Temples to Shiva and Thousands of Temples to Vishnu. Shiva is the Destroyer and Vishnu is the Maintainer. Shaivites and Vaishnavites, such is the stupidity, prejudice and warlike nature of man, that sometimes these devotees battle in the streets. They try to prove, through war, that their God is the Highest! This is the way of a lot of Religious institutions.

But now, they say there is only One Temple in the whole of India devoted to Brahma. How are the mighty Fallen! And I use this example so that I will not upset those attached to the name of any one God.

No God is the Highest. Only you can become high by your connection to God. The level of your Evolution, of your Enlightenment, is the level of your connection with the highest that you are capable of reaching. God is unchangeable. 

All that can change is the level of Your Connection and when you have reached the highest, then you are enlightened by your connection with Truth or Sat. Anything which changes can not be True, by definition. This highest can have any name because that name does not matter.

When you have reached the highest then you have Mastery of the connection with God. You become unchangeable by your connection with that unchangeable Truth.

Sahasrara chakra, the Crown Chakra, is the Soul connection. Its function is to connect to the Higher Self. The Wisdom connection is the rudder which Ajna Chakra needs.

Again there is that Zen story about the student climbing up a 100-foot pole. After many arduous efforts he eventually gets to the top and looks down at the Master sitting in Meditation below. He asks what next? The Master replies, "Take one step higher!"

You are now at the top of your 100ft pole. This is the height of your evolution. This is how high you have built your Antakarana over your many lifetimes.

Whether you inhabit your Soul or have just had little glimpses of it. Or higher, whether you have got in touch with you spiritual guide or Master, or Ascended Master. Whether you have seen all your past lives in that storage space above the Soul. Or whether you are in touch with your guiding stars- The Spiritual Triad, connecting with the three higher chakras. Or whether you inhabit the Monad, our all father endlessness, I Am, or have just had a little glimpse.

Energy Enhancement teaches how to contact the Soul. How to build the Antakarana higher.

The Ancient Greek Myths again display a prescience about human evolution. This story talks of Daedalus who was an inventor, the designer of the Labyrinth wherein was kept the half man/half bull, Minotaur.

Daedalus had invented wings or bird’s feathers held onto the body with wax. With them, he flew over his city. Ickarus, his son, saw this and was eager to join him in his flight so Daedalus made him some wings. Just before the flight, Daedalus warned him not to go too high, otherwise the wax on the wings could melt. And what do you think happened? Of course he went too high then fell to his death as the wax melted.

This story purports to be a story warning not to evolve, not to go too high up the Antakarana otherwise the sun will burn you, the wax could melt, the ego feathers could come apart. You could die. Well, the Sufis have a phrase, "Die before you Die!" By this, they mean that the selfish personality should be destroyed so that the Soul, the Causal Body can take over. You can become a soul infused personality. You can become Enlightened. The real meaning of this story is that the Sun, Sol, The Soul can burn away and melt the selfish self. This story is the methodology of Enlightenment taught in the techniques of Energy Enhancement Level 1.

This good news, should be tempered by this true story. Once we had a student who was eager to contact her soul. So on the full moon night- a night of high power and potential when the Buddha and the Christ send high energies down to the meditators of the Earth, she followed the techniques of Energy Enhancement Stage 4 to find her soul. She reported the light burning brighter than 10,000 suns. She reported that she felt frightened because as she went into this Sun, she felt that her personality was melting away. She did not continue and never dared to go back again.

Energy Enhancement Techniques are Ancient techniques, which work. We should know how they work and gently work at loosening the wax. "Make haste slowly" as Napoleon is reported to have said. It is not enough that we meditate, we also need to gently loosen the bonds of attachment. It is this, which we do in Energy Enhancement Level 2.

Each Stage of Energy Enhancement is built upon the Foundation of the Earlier Stages. Please REVIEW the information given in the previous Stages of Energy Enhancement before going any further.

Please sit for meditation as per instructions for Stage 1. Start to Use Energy Circulation as per Energy Enhancement Stage Two. Grounding as per Stage 3.

Now get ready for EEStage 4, Connection with the Soul, The Monad and the Logos..

This is work upon the Third Initiation as this clears the way most quickly for the second and first INITIATIONS.

My talk is upon a removal of blockages higher than your Crown Chakra, source  of the Energies of Your Enlightenment.
