First, the cat out of the bag

Vulcan#1921-05-13-GA204

subset of the quote and lecture, trimmed to the context of this note

Since the 1870s, super-earthly Beings - not of the human order - have been descending (from the sphere lying between the Moon and Mercury) to the Earth for the purposes of their further development, and they enter into relationships with human beings.

Just as the Vulcan-men were the last to come down to the Earth so now Vulcan beings are coming into the realm of earthly existence. They are coming down to the earthly slowly and by degrees, and ought to be willingly received.

In the course of the next centuries more and more spiritual beings will be among us — beings whose language we ought to understand. Vulcan beings, ‘Supermen’ of Vulcan, ‘Supermen’ of Venus, of Mercury, of the Sun, will gradually come down to the Earth and unite with this Earth-existence.

They desire nothing else than to be the advance-guards of what will happen to Earth-existence when the moon is once again united with the Earth.

...

The human race does not concern itself with them; it ignores their existence.

and

I repeat, then, that since the last third of the nineteenth century spiritual beings from the cosmos have been coming into our own sphere of existence. Their home is the sphere lying between the moon and Mercury, but they are already pressing forward into the realm of earth-existence and seeking to gain a foothold there. ... We are speaking of concrete fact when we say: spiritual beings are seeking to come down into Earth-existence and ought to be willingly received. ... They desire nothing else than to be the advance-guards of what will happen to Earth-existence when the moon is once again united with the Earth.

Mineral plant like spiders#1921-05-13-GA204 this short extract has a foresight of what is happening with smartphones, social media, and artificial intelligence .. that Man is 'bound' to the machine (just look around you in the world), and entangled like a fly that gets caught in a spiderweb

All these unreal thoughts people are thinking will be endowed with being. As it is covered with layers of air today, or occasionally with swarms of locusts, the Earth will be covered with hideous mineral-plant-like spiders that intertwine with one another most cleverly but in a frighteningly evil manner. To the extent that human beings have not enlivened their shadowy, intellectual concepts, they will have to unite their being, not with the entities who are seeking to descend since the last third of the nineteenth century, but instead with these ghastly mineral-plant-like spidery creatures. They will have to dwell together with these spiders; they will have to seek their further progress in cosmic evolution in the evolutionary stream that this spider brood will then assume.

Then take into account ..

what is coming are the Reunion of Moon and a crucial phase of the Sixth epoch before the Reunion of Sun.

This is 'only' five or six millenia away

In that pathway, the next sixth cultural age plays a crucial role as it will contain the seeds for the Sixth epoch, in that respect is the most important cultural age of the Current postatlantean epoch in that it will deliver the fruits for the future of everything that proceeded (Schema FMC00.169 and variants)

Sixth epoch#Beinsa Douno

.. The wave of the sixth race is coming .. its members will be a transition between angels and humans .. .. The main core of the sixth race will consist of the White Brothers who will come from above, but of course there will also be members also from today’s people, but only the prepared ones. The elected people of all nations will get through to the sixth race and than we’ll be able to speak of brotherhood and Love. ..

Now then let's get the right frame to consider all this

Need to take a step back and look at the whole frame of Schema FMC00.362. This focuses on the past epochs, especially the Lemurian and Atlantean, and the - for Earth - 'cosmic' event in our solar system of the Separation of Moon .. in fact Separation of Sun and Separation of Moon.

Two things to consider here:

1/ the fact that beings already 'descended' and 'used the Earth' for their development in the Polarian and Hyperborean epochs .. in other words we should look at this in a frame of seven epochs, and not limit our view or horizon to the Current epoch or the period from third to fifth epochs only.

2/ zooming in a little, what is facing Earth and humanity in the relatively near future of say five millenia is the Reunion of Moon. Let's try to imagine that, by studying the huge impact and what happened at the earlier reverse point of the Separation of Moon.

In this context, to be taken along, is: Humanity is getting younger ... humanity should not count on developing further in the physical body, as that door closes up to the point physical reproduction will cease to be a possibility".

  • PS: this site contains much more context on this, on why the period of the next three millenia to the next cultural age is crucial, and why in this transition there will be hefty terrible times ahead where conditions on Earth will be such that souls no longer want to incarnate.

.

As will become clear, even though the structure of beings on Earth will be drastically different in the future, nevertheless physical bodies will be needed to accomodate the various cohorts of beings at different stages of development.

Humanity has 'had' its development funnel up to today as depicted in Schema FMC00.362 .. it consists of all beings who descended up to now, evolved and went through a certain development.

However in the future, the Earth becomes a stage for a furthered stage of development, whereby more advanced beings will descend and it will become their time now in this multi-chapter play on the stage Earth. Consider it's all spirits and souls who get chances in a certain environment, and so not every spirit and soul gets the chance and will get the chance 'ad nauseum' to incarnate and go through development without limits.

That is also why Rudolf Steiner sometimes states that certain cohorts get a chance, and for those who don't make it, the chance will only come again much later. One statement mentioned that only one third of the (current human) population will make the development target at the end of the fifth epoch.

The explanation above can now be linked to Beinsa Douno's statement just above.

With that perspective in mind, let's now look at how things went at the Separation of Moon.

Planets hosting beings at various stages of evolution#1909-06-09-GA109

Thus for a time Earth and moon, and sun were one united whole. ... The beings of the cosmos are at entirely different stages of evolution. ...

Even the more mature beings belonged to grades at every possible level. There were some who could neither profit by the rapid tempo of the sun nor by the slow tempo of the Earth. These beings departed already before the separation, when sun, Earth and moon were still united. They created special arenas for their activity and these were the domains suitable for their rulership. It was thus that the outer planets, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, were formed.

  • During the recapitulation of the Old Saturn embodiment, Uranus, Vulcan and Saturn separated from the Earth.
  • During the recapitulation of the sun embodiment, Jupiter and Mars separated.
  • After the sun had left the Earth, Mercury and Venus separated from it.
  • After the separation of the sun, the earth cast out the moon.

...

The planetary spirits involved could not have waited until the sun separated from the Earth because they would not have found the right soil for their activity; evolution at this time was turning into different channels. The planetary conditions of space and movement are all the expression and effect of the activity of their beings; these conditions indicate the evolutionary rank of the spiritual beings inhabiting the planets. Beings who had believed that they, too, could accompany the sun because this had formerly been possible but who could not now do so, separated from the sun, but only after it had itself separated from the Earth. These beings separated from the sun after this event and are at a far higher stage of evolution than men. Venus and Mercury are the two bodies that, having separated from the sun after the latter's separation from the earth, formed the inner planets of our solar system.

After the severance from the sun a difficult, sombre period now began for the earth, in a certain respect its darkest, hardest era. While still united with the moon, the Earth drew into itself all the forces that were retarding evolution. To obstruct life is characteristic of the forces principally active in the moon. During this period, these obstructive forces were working far too strongly in the earth. If the earth had remained connected with them, life would not have taken its course in the right tempo. Man would have hardened to the stage of mummification. The Earth would have become a veritable cemetery, one vast graveyard containing statues of mummified human bodies. No procreation would have been possible. When the sun had left the Earth, fearful desolation and hardening of all life took place. So already at that time there were periods when the human physical body was abandoned by its spiritual members, just as today the physical body is abandoned by its spiritual members at death.

In that past era, withdrawal and emergence of the being of spirit and soul from the physical already took place and a new search for the physical body began, as happens today when incarnations are to take place. But more and more frequently it happened that when the being of soul and spirit desired, while the moon was still united with the Earth, to find a human body again, none was to be found, because bodies were no longer fit to receive the being of spirit and soul.

Just imagine that great masses of human beings were to have died today and because of the character of the physical substance these bodies had become so decadent that the souls would have said: We cannot make use of these bodies, they are too decadent for us, they offer no possibility of further evolution.

Suppose that because of an extensive spread of alcoholism, for example, successive generations had gradually become so degenerate that the bodies were simply useless for the descending souls. This is more or less a picture of the state of the earth at that time, before the exit of the moon. Everything that should have been habitable down below was often hardened, crusted, withered, mummified. There was actually a period when souls were seeking in vain for bodies for their own evolution on earth. The consequence was that certain beings simply could not at that time have returned to the physical plane as men. They could not have incarnated again on the earth. These beings then went to other cosmic bodies that had separated from the sun, namely, to Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Mars.

There was a time when the majority of these beings who should normally have incarnated on the Earth according to their nature and their stage of evolution, placed themselves under the protection of the beings of Mars, Jupiter, Venus or Saturn, having ascended to and populated these cosmic bodies. Only the strongest souls found it possible to cope with the stubborn bodies and keep them flexible. Please understand me well. It was only the best soul material that then came again to the Earth, because its power to master the stubborn bodies was the greatest. But under such conditions evolution could not have progressed. ...

...

But the following was connected with this. During and after the separation of the moon, the Earth was depopulated. We have heard that the bodies had become so contaminated that they could no longer provide habitations for the souls. Cosmic happenings such as these have been preserved in legend and saga, but occult investigation reveals their true origin and teaches us that while the separation of the moon was taking place, when the Earth was depopulated, many souls were searching for suitable embodiment in cosmic space; they departed from the earth and assumed bodies on other planets.

But when the moon had finally left, it became apparent that the Earth was capable again of providing suitable bodies.

...

Groups of human beings now formed on the Earth. Some provided bodies for souls coming from Jupiter incarnations, or from Mars, Venus or Saturn. These souls now found bodies that were appropriate for them. This grouping of souls gave rise to the birth of races.

Hence there is a certain connection between the races and cosmic bodies and thus it was possible to speak of Saturn men, Jupiter men and so on. What can be called the concept of race had now, for the first time, its justification.

Planets hosting beings at various stages of evolution#1909-06-27-GA112

We see the separation of Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars before the exit of the Sun from the Earth; afterwards Venus and Mercury detach themselves from the Sun, and finally the Moon leaves the Earth. Thus we have gathered this evolution from spiritual worlds and placed it before us. We have understood the development of our solar system in the sense that we find various grades of spiritual beings upon the different heavenly bodies. Having placed these facts before our soul, we can find the answer to the question:

What became of those spiritual astral beings who wished to incarnate as men and found only hardened bodies which they could not enter?

Being insufficiently mature they could not all unite with the Sun spirits, and it thus happened that, being compelled to abandon the bodies on the Earth, they withdrew for a time to Saturn, Jupiter and Mars. While the Earth below was growing desolate and produced bodies incapable of harbouring human souls we have the fact that the souls betook themselves to planetary heights there to await the time when human bodies would again be available for them.

Only very few, only the most robust human beings were able to receive into themselves souls and preserve their existence during the Moon crisis; the other souls ascended to the other heavenly bodies.

[Separation of Moon]

Then the Moon was ejected from the Earth. This enabled the Sun forces again to work upon the human forms; the latter received a new impulse and once more became soft, pliable, and plastic; and into these now plastic human forms, the souls which had been waiting on Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars could again enter. Whereas these souls had been compelled to abandon the Earth, they now returned by degrees, after the expulsion of the Moon, and peopled the rejuvenated human bodies.

Thus, following upon the exit of the Moon, we come to a period during which new bodies appear in increasing numbers. During the Moon crisis the number of human beings was very small. These were never without descendants, but when the souls returned to Earth they found the bodies unfit for use and left them to perish. By degrees the human race died out.

But when the rejuvenating process set in, the progeny of the human beings who had outlived the Moon crisis were once more able to receive the souls from Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars. The Earth gradually became peopled with souls.

And now you can understand the profound importance of this decisive event, the exit of the Moon. Strictly speaking, everything was changed by it.

1909-06-28-GA112

shortened extract from: Planets hosting beings at various stages of evolution#1909-06-28-GA112

Observing the physical life of man in this period we see an image of these two mutually antagonistic powers: the divine-spiritual powers at work upon the I and the Luciferic beings. Let us now trace the spiritual factor of this process.

During the time of desolation on Earth the human souls ascended to the various cosmic bodies belonging to our solar system. Now they returned in as far as they were able to find bodies in the line of physical heredity.

Remembering that the Earth was most sparsely populated precisely at the time of the moon's withdrawal, you can imagine that the expansion of the human race started from a mere handful of people. Gradually the number increased, more and more souls descended and occupied the bodies coming into being on Earth.

Throughout a long period there were descendants only of the few who were present at the time of the moon's exit, and upon these the lofty sun forces themselves acted: these human beings had retained sufficient vigor to present to the sun forces a point of contact, even during the moon crisis.

shortened extract from: Planets hosting beings at various stages of evolution#1909-09-18-GA114

[Lemurian epoch - before separation of Moon ]

But before the separation of the Moon a difficult period occurred in the evolution of the Earth.

Certain human souls who, having left their bodies, were living in the spiritual world, wanted to descend again to the Earth; but the human substance now to be found there was too hard and ligneous to enable them to incarnate. A time came when souls wishing to descend found it impossible to incarnate again because the earthly bodies were unsuitable for them.

  • Only the very strongest souls were able to master the hardened matter sufficiently to incarnate on the Earth;
  • the others were obliged to withdraw again into the spiritual world.

There were periods before the separation of the Moon when these conditions prevailed.

The number of strong souls able to conquer matter and populate the Earth became steadily less, with the result that prior to the Lemurian epoch there was a period when wide areas of the Earth were barren and the population less and less numerous, because souls desiring to descend could find no suitable bodies.

What happened to these souls? They were transported to the other planets which had formed meanwhile out of the universal substance. Certain souls were transported to Saturn, others to Jupiter, Mars, Venus or Mercury.

[Adam and Eve]

There was a period when only the very strongest souls were able to come to the Earth during its great winter. The weaker souls had to be taken into the guardianship of the other planets of our solar system.

...

Adding one more thing

We recommend reading the lectures discussed in Sixteen paths of perdition#Note 3 - The opium war.

This diversion may not well be understood, therefore the short extract below is added to link in the 'why' to the above discussion.

1916-12-31-GA173

shortened extract from: Sixteen paths of perdition#1916-12-31-GA173

Now if over a long period something is brought about of the kind I mentioned yesterday, namely, that very many bodies in a whole population are caused to become emaciated [editor: very thin and weak], then a situation will arise in which souls who were inclined towards that area will not, after all, incarnate in those bodies.

By bringing about the ‘opiumising’ of Chinese bodies and causing generations to come into being under the influence of opium's forces, it was possible to condemn the Chinese to take in, to a certain extent, some very immature, sub-standard souls, whose qualities I shall not discuss. But those souls who had themselves decided to incarnate in Chinese bodies were thereby prevented from approaching these ‘opiumised’ bodies. They were diverted to Europe where they brought about among the European population those traits which have, meanwhile, been noted by those keen observers I mentioned.

So you see that an event on the physical plane such as the Opium War has a quite definite spiritual background.

In the first instance, its purpose is not to help certain people make millions and grow rich but to prevent certain souls who would have come from the spiritual world round about now, to strengthen the cultural forces of Europe, from incarnating yet, and instead to surreptitiously fill European bodies with Chinese souls. This is really so, however paradoxical it may seem. This momentous event has truly become fact.

In a great many European people a disharmony between soul and body has been brought about in the way I have just described. Such disharmony between soul and body always has the consequence of making it impossible to use the tools of the body properly. ...

I mentioned it as an example of how actions by human beings here on the physical plane can bring about far-reaching changes in the spiritual evolution of mankind as a whole.

Now, with that as a case example, let's put in perspective.

Not elaborated yet, but the contents for the needed insight is on:

.

All the above to shows that,

Now to abductions

The above context connected a string of excerpts from the large body of knowledge by Rudolf Steiner, in order to provide a perspective on the 20th century phenomenon of 'abductions' or also called 'alien abductions'.

To keep things concise and simple, we will used the two books by John E. Mack as a reference to connect to. There is a huge literature on the subject of so called 'alien abductions', but for this purpose we will focus on 'Passport to the Cosmos' (1999), backed up for reference with 'Abduction' (1994), just because they provide all that is needed to make the connection. We will use the acronym PTTC for references to 'Passport to the Cosmos'.

In both books and across case examples, but also in Chapter 5 of PTTC, it is discussed that as part of the experience, abductees receive prophetic views of apocalyptic Earth and the future fate of the Earth.

From there,

In Chapter 6 of PTTC on 'The hybrid project' (p 120-140), Mack is putting forth the research of abductees and consistent stories of (a) physical breeding of humans with aliens, resulting in what is called hybrids. At the same time (to cut a long story short) it is discussed that (b) the experiences cannot or should not be interpreted as fully taking place in the physical realm.

This is the most difficult part to grasp and accept, or 'get over', but once (a) and (b) are taken together and considered with a certain factual objective intellectual distance, it remains the essential point of the abductees story as it seems to be the central purpose or 'agenda' underlying the phenomenon (besides the transformational effect on abductees etc).

In short

(all to be written out still)

The contemporary worldview based on mineral science can not in any way provide a sensible explanation, reason, give meaning to .. what could be happening here.

The worldview spiritual science does provide such a potential explanation. Even though it remains hypothetical or speculative, there is an undeniable logic to it.

Based on the excerpts and statements by Rudolf Steiner above, along with other information ao from Daskalos and Sri M (see Extra terrestrial intelligences) the spiritual worldview provides a different starting point all together.

1/ - There are other beings, at different and higher stages of development, besides the human souls that are in the carrousel of incarnation since the Lemurian epoch and since then. These souls also came from other planetary cohorts (hence the original races, etc).

2/ - It is also stated that the Separation of Moon "changed everything", and that can be our vantage point here, looking forward to the next sixth cultural age, then the Reunion of Moon and the War of all against all which will be huge cataclysmic events for Earth, after which the story will continue in the Sixth epoch. Is it not obvious that this process and its preparations are being managed?

3/ - The Northern stream and Nerthus (links above) expand on the conscious management and strengthening of the physical body for the mission of the consciousness soul and Christ Impulse, and this over a period of several millenia.

4/ - Physical bodies are still carriers of part of the structure of the beings that develop on Earth. That need for spiritualization remains, even if more advanced beings come with further developed seeds of Man's higher triad, further developed than current humanity.

On that basis the premise is put forth that one might have to interpret the 'hybrid project' in this context, and that aliens are souls and spirits having contact on the soul and spirit level.

Consider that when Man is asleep, the astral body and I leave the etheric and physical body behind. Those are worlds where, when we have to map experiences to our waking consciousness in the physical world, we use symbols and archetypal imagery that connects to our physical world experience.

... [to be continued]

[image of rolling on and off the treadmill like Archimedes' screw]

Notes

1/ Examples of how it worked with humanity on Earth in the Lemurian epoch are described, in that beings in which a archangelic or archai being was 'incarnated' did not need language or anything to just guide human beings by influence (language did not exist yet). Now we are on the 'return', one can mirror some of the imagery and descriptions to try and imagine in an open mind that things will change dramatically in the future also. Hints are given already in descriptions of the Maitreya Buddha.

See eg, copied from: Bodhisattva#In the sixth cultural epoch

This great teacher of mankind will be able to act as interpreter of the Mystery of Golgotha in a very different way from what is possible today, as the ordinary earthly organization of Man cannot yet provide a physical body capable of doing what that teacher will be able to do approximately 3,000 years:

  • magical effects will spring from the words of that great teacher of humanity.
  • his words will flow directly to men's hearts, into their souls, like a healing medicine; nothing in those words will be merely theoretical.
  • the teaching will contain - to an extent far greater than it is possible to conceive today - a magical moral force carrying to hearts and souls a full conviction of the eternal, deeply significant brotherhood of intellect and morality.
  • his words will imprint into men's souls directly, magically, the nature of the Mystery of Golgotha.

Note 4 - Edgar Cayce on human races and polygenism

Introduction

Edgar Cayce, in his trance readings, discussed polygenism, a theory which became quite controversial and discredited. It is an example of where Cayce is ridiculed by skeptics as fake and pseudoscience.

Polygenism (from 'poly-genesis') is a theory of human origins which posits the view that humans are of different origins (polygenesis), in contrast with monogenism which posits a single origin of humanity. Biblical polygenism are (non-mainstream) theological interpretations of the Book of Genesis considering pre-Adamite or co-Adamite origin of certain races (on the basis of interpretation of eg 1:26-28, 2:7, 4:14-17), whereas scientific polygenism attempted to find a taxonomic basis for different human races.

Edgar Cayce's readings seemed to (paraphrased here, check exact text of readings) say five races (white, black, red, brown, and yellow) were created separately and simultaneously on different parts of Earth, and also included beings on non-Earthly origin. Also, that soul-entities intermingled with animals on Earth.

(Q) Are the places designated for the beginning of the five races correct?

(A) As we find, these are changed, in that: Those in the Gobi, the yellow. The white — rather in the Carpathians than India, though this is the change to which they are made. The red, of course, in the Atlantean and in the American. The brown in the Andean. The black in the plain and the Sudan, or in African.

(Q) Where was the Carpathian region?

(A) Aarat.

(Q) Where is the location? Is it on the map today?

(A) Southern part of Europe and Russia, and Persia and that land. Caucasian mountains.

(Q) Why was the number five selected for the projection of the five races?

(A) This, as we find, is that element which represents man in his physical form, and the attributes to which he may become conscious from the elemental or spiritual to the physical consciousness . . .

(Q) Did the appearance of what became the five races occur simultaneously?

(A) Occurred at once.

(Q) Describe the earth’s surface at the period of the appearance of the five projections.

(A) This has been given. In the first, or that known as the beginning, or in the Caucasian and Carpathian, or the Garden of Eden, in that land which lies now much in the desert, yet much in mountain and much in the rolling lands there. The extreme northern portions were then the southern portions, or the Polar Regions were then turned to where they occupied more of the tropical and semi-tropical regions; hence it would be hard to discern or disseminate the change. The Nile entered into the Atlantic Ocean. What is now the Sahara was an inhabited land and very fertile. What is now the central portion of this country, or the Mississippi basin, was then all in the ocean; only the plateau was existent, or the regions that are now portions of Nevada, Utah and Arizona formed the greater part of what we know as the United States. That along the Atlantic board formed the outer portion then, or the lowlands of Atlantis. The Andean, or the Pacific coast of South America, occupied then the extreme western portion of Lemuria. The Urals and the northern regions of same were turned into a tropical land. The desert in the Mongolian land was then the fertile portion. This may enable you to form some concept of the status of the earth’s representations at that time! The oceans were then turned about; they no longer bear their names, yet from whence obtained they their names? What is the legend, even, as to their names?

(Q) Are the following the correct places? Atlantean, the red.

(A) Atlantean and American, the red race.

(Q) Upper Africa for the black?

(A) Or what would be known now as the more western portion of Upper Egypt for the black. You see, with the changes — when there came the uprisings in the Atlantean land, and the sojourning southward — with the turning of the axis, the white and yellow races came more into that portion of Egypt, India, Persia and Arabia.

(Q) There was no original projection in upper India?

(A) This was a portion rather of the white and the yellow as represented. Let these represent the attributes of the physical, or the senses and what forms they take, rather than calling them white, black, yellow, red and green, etc. What do they signify in the sensing? Sight, vision – white. Feeling – red. Black – gratifying of appetites in the senses. Yellow – mingling in the hearing. What is the law of the peoples that these represent? Their basic thoughts run to those elements!

Commentary

The intention of this note was and is to provide a positioning for the discussion of polygenism, and trying to resolve the dichotomy or apparent contradictions. To do this correctly would require the exact text of the relevant readings.

However what is described here appears consistent or can be interpreted to be consistent with information described by Rudolf Steiner and Helena Blavatsky, and the following information on this site :

005 - Seraphim of Sarov

Seraphim of Sarov, saint and also known as Seraphim Sarovsky (1754-1833), was a russian monk, mystic and spiritual teacher and one of the most renowned monastic figures in Russian Orthodox history. He primarily lived in the Sarov Monastery ( located in the Nizhny Novgorod Oblast or Tambov region of Russia - some 450 km East of Moscow).

Biographical notes
  • He took the religious name Seraphim on entering the Monastery of Sarov in 1777 aged 17 and taking monestic vows in 1786 (statement tbc). After ordination to the priesthood in 1793, he withdrew as a solitary to a forest hut near the monastery for a life in solitude and confinement.
  • Seraphim lived as a hermit (=separately from society for religious reasons) in a small hut in the woods for 25 years. While in solitude, St. Seraphim welcomed everyone who visited him. He led an extreme ascetic life in the woods. It is stated that he only ate bread from the monastery and vegetables.
    • For every day he lived, St. Seraphim only sought a life of intense and personal devotion to God. He’s attributed to wearing peasant clothing, a crucifix around his neck, and having his hands over his chest. Perhaps one of his most remarkable devotions, deemed a miracle by the Eastern Orthodox Church, was when he spent 1000 consecutive nights and days on a rock, kneeling with his hands upraised in prayer.
    • At one time, he was said to have eaten only grass for three years. While chopping wood one day, Seraphim was attacked by a gang of thieves hoping to steal money from him. Unfortunately, they found nothing of value with him except the icon of the Virgin Mary. They severely beat him up and left him dead. Seraphim spent five months recovering in the monastery, after which he returned to the woods. He remained hunched for the rest of his life.
  • After 25 years, in 1815, after a spiritual encounter he attributed to the blessed virgin Mary, seraphim returned to the monastery to help the pilgrims and he returned to an active, pastoral ministry in Sarov.
  • Seraphim’s spiritual doctrine centred on a program of contemplative prayer directed toward mystical experience. He was original in extending to laypersons the traditional monastic method of contemplation, which included self-denial to combat vices and meditative methods toward ecstatic prayer. Seraphim maintained that prayer was not limited to the cloistered mystic but was within the capacity of any Christian.
  • He was acclaimed a saint by the Russian Orthodox church in 1903 and proposed as a standard for spirituality.
  • other notes:
    • He was reputed to discern the thoughts and problems of people who visited him before they voiced out words.
Quotes

“A sign of spiritual life is the immersion of a person within himself and the hidden workings within his heart.”

“Bear sorrows for the sake of the heavenly kingdom. Without sorrow, there is no salvation. The kingdom of God awaits those who have patiently endured. And all the glory of the world is nothing in comparison.”

1954 - Margarita Woloschin in 'The Green Snake: Life Memories'

Notes

  • Margarita Woloschin(1882-1973) was born Sabaschnikov and first met Rudolf Steiner in 1905 (at a lecture in Zurich) and later accompanied him on lecture tours and became a eurythmist, performing in Steiner's mystery dramas in 1913. When construction of the Goetheanum began, she was invited to help paint the interior. In 1924, she settled in Stuttgart, where she remained active in painting and various anthroposophic activities.
  • The Green Snake is her autobiography, first published in 1954 in DE as 'Die grüne Schlange', then in 2010 in EN.
    • Told from the perspective of anthroposophic artist Margarita Woloschin, this is a first-hand account of her privileged upbringing in Russia and her subsequent life. In lyrical, evocative prose, she relates her vivid recollections of Moscow and rural Russia at the end of the nineteenth century, as well as her meetings with the Russian intellectual elite, including Tolstoy, and the impressions they made upon her. Woloschin also describes her extensive travels throughout Europe and her marriage to the journalist-poet Max Voloshin. Woloschin recounts, too, her part in the introduction of anthroposophy into Russia, her involvement in the construction of the original Goetheanum in Dornach. The author's narrative is interspersed with her personal memories of Rudolf Steiner and the struggle for meaning in her turbulent life. Set against the background of the approaching Bolshevik Revolution, this haunting, historical memoir is witness to a fascinating and inspirational life.

In the context of her asking how to approach writing a biography of Seraphim of Sarov

In 1912, a group of Russian Old Believers contacted the Moscow publishing house "Spiritual Knowledge" expressing a desire to receive a book about the holy starets Seraphim, free from the unctuousness characteristic of ordinary Orthodox synodal publications. The publishing house passed this order on to me.

In my next conversation with Rudolf Steiner, I asked him about this person who was so significant for Russia, whose presence was still vividly felt in the people's consciousness. Saint Seraphim died only in 1833. It was still possible to meet people who knew him. The stories about his words and deeds, especially about the healings that took place after his death right up to our time, were not fiction. It can be said that his image cast its light on the Russia of my time.

Rudolf Steiner knew everything about him and said: "Saint Seraphim is one of the greatest individuals. But in this incarnation he acted not through thought. One must look closely at his deeds. Go to where he lived, then you yourself will feel how to write about him.”

So, my father and I went to the Sarov Monastery ...

1912-09-27 - Margarita Woloschin

Diary, Notebook 3, 27 September 1912

[Steiner said that] this Individuality should be treated without the bounds of the Church. He is an image of the future. But he didn't know with the intellect, because intellect is connected with the physical body, while in Russia the physical is separate, the spiritual is separate, and there is no connection yet. He had a Russian body and could not contain within it the entire scope of his spiritual knowledge.

Discussion Notes

Premise

Rudolf Steiner's quote "in Russia the physical is separate, the spiritual is separate, and there is no connection yet" is remarkable in context what he states about Seraphim of Sarov. This individuality could not work (have his impact) through thinking and the intellect through his russian physical body, because he had a russian body (and was located in or worked in russia).

1/ By extrapolation we may think of Steiner's commentaries of other important russian-slavic souls such as Tolstoj and Soloviev.

For example on the latter in 1912-02-09-GA130, see KRI - Karmic Relationships Individualities#1912-02-09-GA130

Anyone who is sensitive to influences from contemporaries living a great distance away, would, at that time, have been aware of something raying out from a certain personality, which was not altogether harmonious.

When the new century dawned, however, these influences became harmonious. What had happened? I will tell you the reason for this.

On the 12th August 1900 Soloviev had died — a man far too little appreciated or understood. The influences of his ether body radiated far and wide, but although Soloviev was a great philosopher, in his case the development of the soul was in advance of that of the head, the intellect; he was a great and splendid thinker, but his conscious philosophy was of far less significance than that which he bore in his soul. Up to the time of his death the head was a hindering factor and so, as an occult influence, he had an inharmonious effect.

But when he was dead and the ether body, separated from the brain, rayed out in the ether world, he was liberated from the restrictions caused by his thinking, and the rays of his influence shone out with wonderful brilliance and power.

2/ And in the Folk souls lectures, the distinction is made of the different folks as related - and this is the interesting part - as related to geography and timing. See the Aspects on that page, Schemas FMC00.618 and FMC00.619.

3/ Another lateral thought goes to hesychasm, one can compare the life of mystics such as Joseph the Hesychast (1897-1959) to that of Seraphim of Sarov (1754-1833).

Working hypothesis could be, based on the above, that the path for these souls has to go not through the intellect but through feeling .. pushing that, to what this could mean .. one comes to contemplative prayer - as in the lives of Joseph the Hesychast, Seraphim of Sarov, and orthodox traditions (oa Mount Athos). A very different approach to initiation, and one may think of the similarity with european mystics in the middle ages and the Christian initiation path (see middle column on Schema FMC00.322).

4/ Last, we also read with Rudolf Steiner that on occasions he mentioned that the time was not ripe yet for certain individualities to incarnate, because they could not find a suitable body .. yet.

Also, that the consciousness of the advanced Individuality (and its self-consciousness during incarnation) are fully dependent of the body, see eg from

Illness#190X-GA034

the consciousness of our self is also dependent on the laws of our body. We are never fully conscious of our spirit, but only to the extent that the laws of our present embodiment allow.

Quotes to be added, but from memory was this not said in the case of

.

Furthermore, the following quotes from 1909 add context,

quotes taken from: Descent influencing generations to incarnation#Finding a suitable physical body

1909-01-26-GA107

Some souls have acquired great strength in the course of previous incarnations. A soul of this nature has to incarnate in the most suitable body possible, though it will not be absolutely suitable. Yet this soul might be strong enough more or less to overcome everything not suited to it, though this is not necessarily always the case.

1909-11-09-GA117

Even if a being were to come down to the Earth out of the highest, even the very highest, divine worlds, and were to incarnate in an unsuitable physical organism, such a being could make use of that body only to the extent to which it was actually capable of being an instrument.

1909-12-07-GA117

matter how highly developed an individuality is, if it descends into an unsuitable body because it cannot find a suitable one, this individuality cannot express his or her soul-spiritual faculties because it lacks the necessary physical instruments.

and furthermore along the same lines a different variant or version of the following (as the second sentence below is out of context in thix context - see full quote Descent influencing generations to incarnation#1907-05-28-GA099) may apply to the slavic/russian folk spirit and the Individualities above

1907-05-28-GA099

A folk spirit is as real to the eye of the seer as our soul that is incarnate in our body. A whole people, although it has not a common physical body, has a common astral body and the rudiments of a common etheric body.

...

[from context of mis-adaptation of soul and physical body during pre-life vision before incarnation]

Such a human being cannot make right use of his brain because he is not properly incarnate in it. He can only use his physical instrument aright when he allows himself to be born into it in the full and proper sense.

Hesychasm, in Eastern Christianity, type of monastic life in which practitioners seek divine quietness (Greek hēsychia) through the contemplation of God in uninterrupted prayer. Such prayer, involving the entire human being—soul, mind, and body—is often called “pure,” or “intellectual,” prayer or the Jesus Prayer.

Joseph the Hesychast (1897-1959) was a Greek Orthodox monk and elder who led a small group of monks at Mount Athos.

002 - Golden Dawn

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn is a spiritual and occult organization that was founded in 1887 in London, England.

Key founders were:

  • William Robert Woodman (1828-1891)
  • William Wynn Westcott (1848-1925)
  • Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers (1854-1918)

. Other famous members:

  • A. E. Waite (1857–1942)
  • Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

.

Golden Dawn and Kabbalah: The Golden Dawn integrated elements of Kabbalistic mysticism into its teachings, adapting and combining it with Western esoteric traditions, Hermeticism, astrology, alchemy, and ceremonial magic. Much of its Kabbalistic teachings were drawn from earlier sources, including Jewish Kabbalah, Christian mysticism, and Renaissance magic. Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers, in particular, was instrumental in systematizing and presenting this synthesis within the order.

The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn fragmented into several daughter organisations incl. Stella Matutina (Regardie), Alpha et Omega (Macgregor Mathers), Isis-Urania Temple (A. E. Waite), and others. At the basis lie a revolt of London initiates against the then-head of the Order MacGregor Mathers in 1900.

001 - The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri

Introduction

Rawn Clark has been instrumental (and much beloved and admired) in the community of Franz Bardon's system of initiation, as a result of his unique work in support through his A Bardon Companion V1 (in 2002) and V2, his abardoncompanion website (started in 2001), videos, and tireless courteous support in forums answering questions.

Nevertheless some people have spread some 'bad press'. Examples are posts on the amazon.com forums for Rawn Clark's books, seemingly all by one or two people in 2015.

This has given rise to research and discussions about the origins of Clark's work besides the Bardon system of initiation.

Clark was very much a specialist of the Tree of Life, whereas the Bardon system does not use this at all.

  • Center of Stillness, Healing, Magic and Self-Knowledge: Original Articles & Audio Transcripts
  • The 231 Gates of Initiation: & The 32 Paths of Wisdom Tarot (2012 update of work of 2002 and 2005)
    • Sometime around the middle of 1998, during my work with the original Eight Temples Meditation Project, I “discovered” that both the Western Hermetic and Hebrew Tree of Life symbols held within them exactly 230 geometric shapes of a certain nature. Along with this discovery came the realization that these 230 shapes, plus the Tree as a whole, held a direct correlation to the 231 “Gates” mentioned in the Sepher Yetzirah and throughout Kabbalistic literature. So I began drawing these “231 Gates” by hand on paper... And as I drew, I explored... The following couple of years were spent in extensive exploration of all these Gates and eventually in 2002 I published “Book 231” online. At the same time, I created the “32 Paths of Wisdom Tarot” and wrote an article titled “The 32 Paths of Wisdom” which was published in the Autumn 2002 Journal of the Western Mystery Tradition. The main theme of this article was to illustrate the differences between the Western Hermetic and Hebrew versions of the Tree of Life and present the Hebrew Tree in the context of a Western Hermetic path of initiation. And then, in 2005, the “32 Paths of Wisdom” article and Tarot were integrated with the 231 Gates of the Hebrew Tree and I digitally published “The 231 Gates of Initiation” for the first time online. This present edition in paperback differs quite a bit from the 2005 digital edition. First of all, my understanding of the Tree of Life has deepened considerably since 2002, especially my understanding of how and why the planets are attributed to the Hebrew Letters. As a result, some of the planetary attributions have been corrected in this version. Secondly, I have removed 99% of the Hebrew words and substituted their English equivalents in an effort to make the Tree symbol much more accessible.
  • The Eight Temples Meditation Project
  • Permutations of the Tree: The 182 Gates of the Gra Tree of Life (2012)

Hence we find a mixture of ancient Jewish traditions and rituals in Clark's work, eg

  • The Magic of IHVH-ADNI (2002)
    • This is the magic of combining IHVH with ADNI as I know it and practice it.  I learned this magic from one whose name will forever be unspoken. In 1998 he writes After 10 years of practice, I have been granted the words to tell you of this sacred magic.  But instead of telling it as I learned it, I will tell it as I have come to understand it  -- I will tell it with my own words and in my own way.
  • The Book of Aries (2022) about the magic of the Kethric Brilliance of Adonai Light
    • Adonai? "A Jew reading aloud from the Torah will never vocalize YHVH. Instead, the word Adonai (ADNI = "lord") is substituted. Later renderings of YHVH, such as the Christian Jehovah or the modern Yaweh, are merely inaccurate conveniences of intellectual language and have no true power."

Questions discussed include:

  • why should anyone committed to Bardon's system of initiation need or even care about hebrew and/or the Tree of Life. It is totally not needed, even though Clark himself took that route (and of course he was very free to do so!)
  • why is Clark's work include pointers to very jewish-hebrew tradition like IHVH-ADNI and Adonai? One may assume he learned about these techniques and became very advanced in them. But should one mix this with the pure modern western path laid out by Bardon?

Notes

  • the TMO group was started by Clark in 2005 to explore the possibilities of working TMO in grpup context; for which he also made magical tools like the Integrator and the Communicator (see 'Rawnmade' (2023))
  • bio info:
    • from abardoncompanion:
      • I began pursuing Bardon's system of Hermetic initiation at the age of 25 and became involved in online forums a dozen years later. I then spent the next 13 years answering Bardon-related questions online. :)

Extracts from research

Rawn Clark (Fra. A.L.M.) - The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri

in Caduceus - The Hermetic Quarterly (Spring, 1996; Vol. 2, No. 1)

Introduction

The Rousing of the Citadels (RC) is a practical technique used within the Ordo Lux Kethri 1. It was born out of the Golden Dawn’s “Middle Pillar Exercise”2 and has since evolved to a point where it diverges greatly from it and is now considerably more complex.

Its first use within the O.L.K. was as an induction to a series of guided path and sphere workings 3. The RC form was very simple and, like the “Middle Pillar Exercise”, employed the sephiroth and paths of the Middle Pillar only. It differed however, in that its focus was Daath and the enveloping of one’s being in the Lavender Aethyr-Light for purposes of skrying.

The RC practice expanded as experience indicated and now incorporates all the sephiroth and paths. Within the O.L.K., it has come to replace the “Middle Pillar Exercise” and “Qabbalistic Cross”4 entirely. RC is an integral part of nearly every aspect of current O.L.K. technique.

Philosophy

To best understand the RC practice, we must begin with some of the basic assumptions, or philosophy, which form its foundations.

The symbol structure employed is traditional, non-christianized, Qabbalah 5. These symbols consist of several levels: anthropomorphic deity-forms and beings; color; sound; ideas or thought-forms; and most importantly, the emotional responses that these images evoke within the Qabbalist. The RC focuses these energies within the bodies (mental, astral and physical) of the practitioner and integrates them through the medium of these very same emotional responses.

Following the philosophy of “as above, so below; as below, so above” (of the Macrocosm’s reflection within the microcosm, etc.), these energies within the practitioner’s microcosm resonate with those of the Macrocosm, allowing genuine contact and interaction between the two. These experiences of contact and the relationships they engender, cause the experience to continually deepen with practice.

It is through genuine experiences with the intelligences contacted by these powerful symbols that their energies are fully integrated into the practitioner’s bodies, eventually becoming readily accessible faculties and powers. Furthermore, the practice of RC itself, employs and thereby strengthens, all of the subtle senses.

Even the now deceased Chief of the Ordo Lux Kethri was expelled from a (now defunct) branch of the Aurum Solis. Let me tell you the truth about magickal Orders. All of the "Adepti" were expelled some place or other, and then started their own. According to Dion Fortune, that is how magickal Orders propagate.

1998-01-26

The Order which was derived from Michael Albion MacDonald is known as the Ordo Lux Kethri, or Order of the Kethric Light. Interestingly, MacDonald claimed to be in possession of the Grade of 7=4, and he is also known to have been in contact while in London with a certain english occultist who was a member of the Secret College of S.R.I.A. and who had also received this Grade of 7=4 in the Hermes Temple of the Stella Matutina in Bristol. However, MacDonald never informed me of the source of his 7=4 Grade, only that he made the claim to it. (I am unable to give the name of the english occultist in question, as he objects to having his name posted on the internet. ... I am in possession of certain of MacDonald's magickal papers connected with the Grade of Z.A.M.

Michael MacDonald resembled in appearance at least one published photograph of Mathers (the one where Mathers is wearing a military uniform). MacDonald was absolutely convinced that he was Mathers come back. At one junture, he referred to certain circumstances as "the most trouble that he had had since the Horos affair." Unfortunately, MacDonald is now deceased. It appears, however, that he had at least one relative who had been a member of the original HOGD.

Sar Draconis

in alt.magick internet forum

The Ordo Lux Kethri, also known as the Order of the Kethric Light, was founded in 1982 by April Schadler Bishop and Michael Albion MacDonald of the Artisans of Light. The structure of the order, which considers itself a fraternal order, is similar to the Rosicrucian one.

Michael Albion MacDonald, who claims the Grade of 7=4, was an associate of David SARD in England, one of the last Chiefs of the Stella Matutina Temple in Bristol (Hermes Temple), and who worked as librarian in charge of the manuscripts collections of the British Library at the British Museum at a time when MacDonald was a daily visitor for over a year.

Members of O.'.L.'.K.'. study kabbalah, alchemy, Hermetic meditation, including the techniques of visualization and astral travel of Franz Bardon, as well as ritual magick.

The Ordo Lux Kethri was a reincarnation of a previous Order of the same name founded by Richard C. Gorhem, in which both Michael Albion MacDonald and April Schadler Bishop had been adept initiates. Alas, Richard Gorhem met his demise on a lonely stretch of highway 1 south of San Francisco, which caved in to the beech below because of intense rains. Michael Albion MacDonald and April Schadler Bishop ressurected the Order in the ensuing years.

MacDonald brought an intense focus on Solomonic magick and Solomonic evocation, demonstrating to initiated members the actual evocation to visible appearance of the Solomonic spirits. Some photographs demonstrating some of these ceremonies are thought to still survive in Order archives. MacDonald made numerous copies of magickal manuscripts of all kinds; his rendition of the Solomonic Theurgia is thought to be one of the best of its kind.

In an ensuing post, I shall shortly quote directly from an Order paper, as it was issued to Initiates circa 1984.

Note: Sar Draconis said to correspond to Robert Word aka Sar Draconis, aka Ainsuph

Robert Word's implausibility on matters related to the Soc Ros in America (18 years ago)

Readers of this forum should note some relevant issues when considering Robert Word (Sar Draconis) recent attacks on the Soc Ros in America and its Imperatrix, Soror Maria Babwasingh. It is a (minor) footnote to occult history that Mr Word has had a long and tempestuous relationship with SRIAmerica, mostly founded around his desire to attain entry to the higher degrees and inner councils of that group. At its nadir, Mr Word's conduct was of such a nature that the SRIAmerica had to take the unusual step of seeking an injunction, preventing Mr Word from approaching or attempting to gain access to the group's temples. One must also consider Mr Word's earlier attempts to gain access to the inner sanctum of another Order, this one teaching the wisdom of Paul Foster Case. Whereas his partner was accepted into that group's inner order, Mr Word was deemed to lack sufficient occult maturity to be accepted, and the ensuing tantrum was of a similar magnitude. That the officers of that group had foresight and judgement in their assessment is clear, witness Mr Word's ongoing conduct here on alt.magick, even many years later. His addled missives here reflect a mind as tea-stained and

questionable as a false Desmond Bourke charter. Regrettable, indeed. Hell hath no fury like a puffer scorned, one must suppose.Jean

Dear Devin,

...

   > (and anyone else who might know), <<

🙂 Since I'm the last living member of the O.L.K., I doubt there's anyone else who would know. 😉

   > In your article "Levels of Self," you mention the two models of the "self" : the Zoharic (GD-style) and the one used by Ordo Lux Kethri. Most of the info out there seems to be derived from the Zoharic model. My question is, do you know where I can find out more about where O.L.K's model comes from? <<

It was a group effort by the chief members of the Order, myself included, to render the GD/Zoharic model a bit more practical and fitting with our core philosophy/dogma. I was the one who suggested the titles but the division was a matter of consensus. All of us involved had a background of GD, Kabbalah and Bardon specifically.

   > You seem to use it more in your writings and descriptions than the Zoharic. <<

🙂 Yes.

   > It also tends to resonate much better :) <<

Cool. 🙂

My best to you,

rawnclark@...

2018-01-21 and 2019-02-21 someone informing in the forum after: Michael Albion Macdonald (approx. 1961-1990)

Way back in the dawn of time (1979), I graduated from high school with Michael, and we were friends. I'm afraid we lost touch quickly--I moved back to Canada and of course there was no Internet or cheap long-distance. And, well, we were 18-year-old guys, not writing a lot of letters.

I see from old posts (1999) in this group that he passed away in 1989. Posters at the time were using handles "Sar Draconis" and "Charla J. Williams". Apparently he had published "Secret of Secrets" and "Nigromancia" through the now defunct Heptangle Press, if that helps ring any inklings.

...

In long ago threads here, Sar Draconis and a few others mentioned a Michael Albion Macdonald. I went to high school in Palo Alto in the 1970s, and had a friend and classmate named Michael Macdonald . After high school graduation, I moved back to Canada and we lost touch. I have been unable to locate him since, and it wasn't until I came across a letter he'd written me in about 1980 signed "Michael-Albion Prentice Macdonald" that I was able to even find these references.

He was into the occult, and since Sar Draconis wrote: "MacDonald died at a prematurely young age some seven years ago as a result of complications attending a chronic illness. His memorial service and funeral in Palo, Alto California were attended by old friends and magickal students." ...I'm thinking this might have been him.

... Does anyone have any further details? Does the age seem right - sounds like he passed in 1990, so he would have been 29 or so? If so, I think between name, location, and interest in the occult, it seems likely to have been him - how many "Michael Albion Macdonald"s can there have been?!

Amazon reviews of Rawn Clark books

In Nov 2015 one or two people M.S and AD posted 1-star negative review of Rawn Clark's books. These are the only negative reviews ever, all Clark's work has extensive positive reviews. So clearly someone wanted to attack, charge back, or ventilate frustration and bad energy on Clark for some reason.

Not that there is maybe much or any substance to the contents of what is written, but maybe points made have some truth in them and so are an interesting perspective of which very little to nothing is heard otherwise.

one

Bardon clearly said in his Own books " this is the system without a guru, no one can offer to the student more than this book". So I wonder why anyone write commentary on system of the self initiation. Mr. Clark claim he "finished" all Bardon books. Well also Mr. Clark said that he united with being called Sowantha and saw this being as his own master (this being took form of men who was his master in wiccan coven). So it is again clear that Mr. Clark do not united with Divine Providence as Bardon suggest but with Sowantha (whatever it is), and it is clear that Mr. Clark go trough initiation with a master (started in wiccan coven). So how it is possible for him to advise in system without a master? For me as I spent (or waste) many years on Mr. Clark work it is very weird, also Mr. Clark offers rituals ( like magic TMO) and claim their "divine origin". And again Bardon in his books said that serious student will not make rituals made by another person. So again why Mr. Clark suggest that we all should do that. There are many question to be answered, but I strongly feel it is something deeply wrong with all this, as I practice what Mr. Clark suggest for 10 years and I know now it was a waste of time and energy.

One can find a few reference in this book to Ordo Lux Kethri. And in few places Mr. Clark admit to be part of this order, but nothing more is known. So there are many secrets of origin of all this rituals and knowledge. Rawn Clark name in this Order was Frater A.L.M ( as can be found in his article The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri). It is clear that Mr. Clark initiation was/is path with guru and secret organisations.

And the quotation from Rawn Clark article " The Rousing of the Citadels of Ordo Lux Kethri" will speak for itself :

"Many of the initiation rites of the O.L.K. involve a projection of energy, directed by the initiator, into the candidate’s bodies . In the First Degree Rite of Initiation, for example, the initiator performs the RC, while at the same time igniting the spheres and paths within the candidate’s bodies through a projection of energy.

In the absence of a teacher, the RC, when combined with the “231 Gates” and its implied path and sphere workings, can serve as a system of self-initiation."

What can be found about Ordo Lux Kethri is just few facts like it was fund by April Schadler Bishop and Michael Albion MacDonald, of the Builders of the Adytum and according to dr. Joseph W. Schnapp member of Church Of The Guiding Light Michael Alibion MacDonald took his life years ago and is author of rare book called "Secret of Secrets: The Unwritten Mysteries of Esoteric Qabbalah".

At the end I need to say that I spent 3000 euro on Radiator made by Rawn Clark, 750 euro on Gatemaker, than I felt so grateful to him I gave him 2000 on his trip to USA. And as I look back I do not know why I financed a person I know mostly from books. For me it is all very weird and threatening.

two

This book claims to be a commentary with some additional techniques to the Franz Bardon's 3 books: Initiation Into Hermetics, Practice of Magical Evocation and Key to the True Quabbalah. Since Mr. Bardon clearly expressed that his books do not need any additional teachers, techniques and most important of all - are complete on their own, writing additional "commentaries" and "explanations" is showing a great lack of understanding on Mr.Clark's side.

It is worth mentioning, that Bardon's original works are meant for self-initiation. While Mr. Clark may have done some of the exercises presented therein, he however went a totally different path himself, being guided by his teachers and the Order of the Kethric Light he was a member of.

Members of O.'.L.'.K.'. study kabbalah, alchemy, Hermetic meditation, including the techniques of visualization and astral travel of Franz Bardon, as well as ritual magick.

It is within this order he received the ritual "Rousing of the Citadels" (RC that later became TMO), the path working of 231 Gates, Levels of Self and many other teachings he claims to be the author of (or rather he omits the true origins of those works).

To my eyes, if someone tries to hide his true magical background for so many years, it is something to think about...

Also, most of the philosophies presented in this commentary are simple copy-paste from Dion Fortune and other Golden Dawn/OTO/AA traditions, with some minor adjustments. Not worth the money and time.

three

As we can know from one of the first articles of author called " The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri " Rawn Clark learn kabbalah from Ordo Lux Kethri. So first let see what this Order is/ are.

[follows a literal copy of the 1999 post above]

The Ordo Lux Kethri, also known as the Order of the Kethric Light, was founded in 1982 by April Schadler Bishop and Michael Albion MacDonald of the Artisans of Light. The structure of the order, which considers itself a fraternal order, is similar to the Rosicrucian one. Michael Albion MacDonald, who claims the Grade of 7=4, was an associate of David SARD in England, one of the last Chiefs of the Stella Matutina Temple in Bristol (Hermes Temple), and who worked as librarian in charge of the manuscripts collections of the British Library at the British Museum at a time when MacDonald was a daily visitor for over a year. Members of O.'.L.'.K.'. study kabbalah, alchemy, Hermetic meditation, including the techniques of visualization and astral travel of Franz Bardon, as well as ritual magick. The Ordo Lux Kethri was a reincarnation of a previous Order of the same name founded by Richard C. Gorhem, in which both Michael Albion MacDonald and April Schadler Bishop had been adept initiates. Alas,Richard Gorhem met his demise on a lonely stretch of highway 1 south of San Francisco, which caved in to the beech below because of intense rains. Michael Albion MacDonald and April Schadler Bishop ressurected the Order in the ensuing years.

This is short history of the Order author was/is the member. Now we can look closer to Oath one have to make in Ordo Lux Kethri :

OATH

I SWEAR:

That I shall in All Ways act as a catalyst for the enlightenment of my Brethren.

That I shall pursue actively my study in the Art with devotion and dillegence (sic) .

That I will guard with my life the secrets of this Order, and never share them with the profane or the immagure.

That I will trust the Judgement of the Adepti above any other, and hold their writ as Law.

That I shall never permit any destructive emotions to enter into my thinking when I act within this Order.

By the Sword and Stave of the Masters, and by the Impervious Brillianceof the Kethric Light. AMEN.

Thus was the Oath administered to members of the Order of the Kethric Light.

So in the first page of this book, one will see big photo of author, with explanation that Mr. Clark want to see who is reading the book. So it is all starting weird. Before buying think it over do You really want be part of some ritual of unknown origin.

To comment this book, best is to show the relation author has with himself

"For my rawn-Individual to achieve a genuine understanding, I must needs receive information decipherable by, and relevant to, my Individual experience. It seems that this can only be accomplished one Individual to another, and so I-Sowantha speaks with me-rawn through the Individual of my former teacher.

I-rawn learn many things from my old friend, and when I look upon his face and hear his words, it is like conversing with completely familiar kin, so intimate is our knowledge of each other. We are like two mirrors reflecting each other, amplifying our Individual differences infinitely, yet by that very infinity we reveal our commonality. We revel in our commonality, and with equal élan, celebrate our differences. We are kin not by blood but by that inner spark which we share, whose relatedness is revealed only just now, here in the Greaters' realm".

Here we see what can happen to Us if we take "map of consciousness " from Order Lux Ketheri (author is member of this organisation) You to need imagine Your dead master to talk to Your conscience. As the words sounds beautiful the goal of this book is part of The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri ritual.

231 gates means for this Order "In the O.L.K., traditional sphere and path working has been replaced by what the Order terms “The 231 Gates of Initiation”. This system sees the sephiroth as the levels of initiation, while the 38 paths of the “Complete” array along with their regular geometries of triangles, quadrangles, pentangles, and hexangles, constitute the Gates of initiation."

The goal of the RC ritual and book is "ASSUMPTION OF GOD/DESS-FORM:

The O.L.K. sees this as the highest form of magic.

Its approach is based upon the work of Franz Bardon, so it stresses a connection with a god/dess-form that far surpasses mere assumption of a symbolic image.

RC has proved very valuable in the early stages of the long assumption process. It allows quick access to any chosen level, but more importantly, it incorporates the energies of the chosen god/dess-form’s level into one’s bodies. This encourages and quickens the journey to the aspirant’s genuine merging with a god/dess-form."

So this will (without You knowing) plug You in into astral-mental body of ritual of secret organisation. I would be careful.

This book uses strange symbols and words to connect you with the energy of some magical Order of the Kethric Light under the pretext of teaching you kabbalah.

Mr. Clark was a member of this O.L.K. order under the name of Frater A.L.M. Members of O.'.L.'.K.'. study kabbalah, alchemy, Hermetic meditation, including the techniques of visualization and astral travel of Franz Bardon, as well as ritual magick.

This book delivers you the teaching of this order in a form of meditations that bind your energy body to the Order's energy egregore. This especially takes place during the Gedulah ritual, where you build the "body of light", which clearly resembles the process of initiation into the Ordo Lux Kethri as explained by Mr. Clark in his article "The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri".

This process makes you a battery of energy to be used by this organisation.

The TMO ritual presented here is actually a revision of "The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri", a ritual created by the magical order the author has been a part of (under the name of Frater A.L.M.).

The self-healing archaeous is nothing more than Jacobson relaxation techniques mixed with Franz Bardon's teachings presented in Initiation into Hermetics.

The rest of the book is either insignificant or presents a very subjective point of view.

Rawn Clark claims to be a student of Franz Bardon. Mr. Bardon himself claimed that there is an innate danger when dealing with rituals created by someone else. Even when they work, you may not know the real price you're paying.

eight

Mr.Clark claims to have "discovered" the 231 gates in 1998, while in his own article from 1996 titled "The Rousing of the Citadels of the Ordo Lux Kethri" he claims that 231 gates of initiation have been used by his own magical order already for many years. We have the right to demand an answer: Was Mr. Clark lying for all those years? I hope not. But the questions of his own authenticity do remain.

Commentary & Conclusions

From the information above:

  • The Ordo Lux Kethri, also known as the Order of the Kethric Light, was founded in 1982 by April Schadler Bishop and Michael Albion MacDonald of the Artisans of Light.
  • Michael Albion MacDonald (approx. 1961-1990) died at young age in 1989-1990
  • Rawn Clark (1958-2024) was indeed part of the Ordo Lux Kethri, so he did pass a secret oath, and wrote as Fra. A.L.M. about 'The Rousing of the Citadels' ritual in 1996.
    • other biographical info: started IIH aged 25 in 1983, became involved in online forums approx. 1995 with Bardon related Q&A until 2008
    • In 1998 Clark writes first about the magic of IHVH-ADNI, stating he has been practicing it for 10 years, so since 1988 (aged 30)
    • In 'Rawnmade' he writes that in his mid 30s he felt a lack of worship in his magical practice and joined a Wiccan coven - so around age 35 this was approx. 1993
    • earliest publications are 1995-96-97 (aged 37-39) and fully geared on hebrew sequence of formation, tree of life, etc.
  • The last few years of his life were remarkable, as he was able to create the Golems, and write a number of final books (not counting 'love letter to a dying world' in 2019)
    • in 2022 Clark published 'Companions Along The Way: A Workbook for IIH Steps One to Ten', writing: I published my first commentary on Franz Bardon’s "Initiation Into Hermetics" twenty years ago and ten years ago I published an entirely new commentary on IIH. Now, another ten years later, it’s time for yet another venture into discussing IIH. What you have before you has been adapted from a series of ten videos I recorded from August 8th through the 31st, of 2021.
    • also in 2022 the 'Book of Aries', a culmination of a life working with this system of high magic
    • and finally in 2024 the 'Book of Taurus', a synthesis of his life's work on the Tree of Life

In conclusion

  • There is the Rawn Clark known post 2001 and the 'A Bardon Companion' V1 book and website and upto his death in 2024, with 29 years supporting the Bardon system of initiation, especially IIH, between 1995 and 2024, and 20 years of A Bardon Companion between 2001 and 2022.
  • And there is the Rawn Clark of the period 1983 to 2000, formative years between 25 and 42 .. with a 'life before', before becoming a public figure.
  • Rawn Clark was not only in support of Bardon's system, he was an initiate with broad magical interests and so also adept in the Tree of Life, also someone crafting magical tools for like 40 years. He also explored with the TMO group, and made a unique contribution with the magic of essential meaning of the Book of Aries.
  • He was sincere, humble, and courteous in supporting people, making him much beloved. For those who want to focus on the Bardon system of initiation, there is absolutely no need to get into Rawn Clark's other work like the Tree of Life or the Book of Aries. And maybe one should clearly separate them and not get mixed up.

Various notes

  • Michael Albion MacDonald: 'Secret of Secrets: The Unwritten Mysteries of Esoteric Qabbalah' (1986)
  • another ritual: 'Ritual of the Covenant' Aurifer, S. I. (or in FR “Le Rite de l’Alliance”) appears in the EN translation by Piers A. Vaughan of 'The practical Kabbalah' (1951) by Robert Ambelain (1907-1997), whereby he writes "This was not referenced in the original Index of R. Ambelain, but is included here"

    The Ritual below has been created by us, drawing upon the “Clavicles” and being inspired by the instruction given by Lenain in his work “Kabbalistic Science” (Amiens,1823). It is perfectly within the specific secret tradition of the “Elus-Cohen”, since it aims to establish firstly a spiritual contact and then a material one, between one of the great Angels of the “Name of Seventy-Two Letters” and the Operator. This contact is implicitly included in the secret teachings of Martinez de Pasqually, and explicitly required in the great “Invocation of Reconciliation”, of which a manuscript copy in Saint- Martin’s own hand is lodged in the Library of Lyons. The “Secret Teachings of Martinez de Pasqually”, a work by Franz von Baader, translated from the German by René Philippon (Chacornac, ed. Paris, 1900), tells us that “…Martinez de Pasqually restored the fasts of the Ancient Covenant for his disciples…”. This “Covenant” was that concluded by Moses, Aaron and the seventy elders of Israel, in the name of the Jewish people, with one of the “Elohim”. This is why the Ark was called the “Ark of Testimony”, or the “Ark of the Covenant”, for it contained the true witness to the divine manifestation. In faithful witness to this covenant, Israel has continued to commemorate the day when it concluded this veritable “pact” at each new moon. The purpose of this Ritual is to realize at an individual level what was done on a collective level five thousand years ago. Regular holders of the Elus-Cohen lineage are in possession, depending on their grade, of the lineage of the Levites, of that of the Cohenim, indeed of that of the Judges (according to Philippon). And so nothing stands in the way of this ‘microcosmic’ revival of the greatest theurgic Work known in the history of Humanity.

The Special:Ask is NOT for users. On Special:Ask you can:

  • build a query to your data using semantic syntax described here semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Inline_queries and the form provided
  • you can set parameters, limit the number of results, sort them, choose an output format
  • then you can copy the generated code and place it on any page
  • users will see the query results formatted as specified

Desired custom interfaces can be created based on the semantic data, e.g. a wall of cards (images + descriptions, or similar) and many others:
