The Alchemy of the Universe: Bridge over Troubled Water


 

It is beyond public and scholarly dispute that the Old bridge in Mostar is a wonderful work of art. It is completely self- evident that Hajrudin the master builder built an ingenious structure. However, the cosmic range of his vision has not been understood at all. Hajrudin has, in fact, materialized the whole Universe in stone. His bridge is the symbol of all there is, of all that has been and all that will ever be, but we don’t know the truth even when hit by a nuclear bomb. 

The symbolism of the Old bridge goes beyond any and all symbols of alchemy: it is almost just too huge to be grasped. This is the great alchemical work, Magnum Opus, standing in front of our eyes. It is the Revelation waiting to happen and that we will realize the hard way. Hajrudin was a prophet and it is common with prophets that they see what others don’t. And, yes, of course: 

I tell you the truth," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown.“
                                                                                              Luke 4:20

Hajrudin knew this very well and so he wasn’t talking to anyone but to the prophet hidden in his soul. So he was in fact talking to his own higher self. It was a wise decision, because it takes one to know one. Wisdom is often constituted of accepting things that we cannot change; of trusting the process, the providence. Thus the bridge is the ultimate theological and cosmological puzzle: it’s a message to the messiah, the message to the new incarnation of the hidden prophet, that will, when the time comes, trigger the spark in his mind and enlighten him to his mission. It is a reminder.

On the surface the bridge looks very Moon-like, very Piscean, just like Islam. However, it traverses and connects all religious doctrines. The original represented an Aquarian rainbow bridging the Aeon of space and time, elevated high in the sky by the etherical, invisible Uranus, the ruler of heavens. The river flow symbolizes the flow of time. Time, in turn, is symbolized by the astrological sign of Capricorn and his ruler Saturn. The river is the magic mirror just like the time, because they both know the true nature of things, which is the soul.

The bridge is reflected in the magic mirror, time or river, which reflects its soul - its higher, hidden self. If the river flows to the Aeon of Capricorn, then the soul of the bridge must be Capricornian. If the river is Aquarian, the soul of the bridge will be revealed as Aquarian. Saturn above all represents the element of time, without which adjustment cannot take place, for all action and reaction take place in time. Saturn provides material and timely balance to the glorious celestial ruler, etherical Uranus. 

At this point, the transmutation of the Aquarian soul into the Capricornian one is only partly complete. The bridge changed, but we haven’t. When the river changes, times change. When times change, the world changes. When the world changes, the river changes. Thus the bridge is the magic circle with a square in the middle. It is the magic mirror holding the picture of our souls, our destiny. The bridge is the ark, vault, that connects the two opposites, Alpha (A) and omega (Ω) like the Volt (V) represents the tension between the electric current (Ampere – A) and resistance (Ohm - Ω).

This is a revealed prescription for redemption: we must know our dark side in order to become one, in order to know the universe. Man must to learn how to walk in order to learn how to fall. Man must learn how to fall in order to learn how to fly. Only when a man learns how to fall can he take on the process called Adjustment which leads to wisdom. In the process of Adjustment he acquires instinctual spiritual balance while his eyesight is more of a detriment than help. It is because, ultimately, wisdom is not a question of mind, but of the heart. It is the Revelation which will be revealed in time. 

Adjustment is a secret course of judgment whereby all current experience is absorbed, transmutated and ultimately passed on, by the operation of the sword. This is a woman satisfied with a sword of the magician, for she holds the blade between her thighs and bends towards the handle as in the act of worship approaching sainthood. This act is symbolized by the zodiacal sign of Libra ruled by Venus in which Saturn is exalted. She worships her lord of the rings, Saturn, who rules her sphincter, rings of muscle surrounding a body orifice. The word "sphincter" means a "knot" or a "band" and is derived from the same Greek base as "Sphinx," the mythological beast epitomizing occult mysteries. She reveals her secret to her master magician and thus the riddle of the Sphinx is solved. Likewise, Alexander solved the riddle of the Gordian Sphinx, mistranslated as Gordian Knot, by sword. 

The double sickle dividing the blade and handle represents the ultimate alchemical separation of spirit and matter executed by Saturn. The blade sinks into the matter while the round handle points vertically to the sky. Alchemically, it is Venus represented by copper, a semiprecious metal, an element of dual nature, whose beautiful red shine and lightness is eaten up by time and with time it turns gray and green, and becomes merely a shade of its former glory. It is so because it is alive, because everything living is of dual nature. Tempus edax rerum: time devours everything, there is only a window of opportunity. Who can heal this sadness, who has key to this mystery? Only the Chiron, the maimed priest, the unhealed healer, the unredeemed redeemer, or the rainbow bridge between the inner and outer planets, the great deceiver, the one that frames Saturn, the one who takes victory over time. The circle, Ru, of the Ankh cross was continued in the Greek letter Rho and then was carried into the Greek cross with a monogram , which consists of Chi and Rho, which superimposes the spelling of Christ. It also symbolizes key and Chiron.

This mystical connection or tangential links between Chiron, Saturn and Uranus is best shown by the following orbit diagram. We can observe the two mystical arcs, the two symbolical gates one leading to symbolic sky, the triumphal arc of Uranus, the other leading to the symbolic hell, the scythe of the Grim Reaper - Saturn. These realms are contained by the mystical orbit, the realm of Neptune, and, of course, the one of Pluto, who is the Hades, the unseen, the hidden one, just too far out to be seen, although omnipresent.




Etymologically, copper, Latin cuprum, is connected with Slavic kupati, which is to bath, in the sense of washing sins away. Again, it is Venus, or Slavic goddess Kupala, the bathing Goddess, the symbol of cosmic fertility. It is Ankh, the sign of life, the living, an oath, the convenant, whose symbol is the same as the one of Venus. It is a sign of all beginning (Arche) and the Ankh-tie is the cross of the North, the hind part of heaven. Sphinx holds no secrets to her master, she allows his white light to shine through her, for she yearns to provide the microcosmic magical frame for his macrocosmic magical influence. She will provide the magical support to his magical lever. The rest are irrelevant to her: in relation to them she remains in perfect stillness and silence, though she seems not to resist their undertakings. She is waiting for the one with the right key to her secret: she is waiting for her Christ, for Chiron, for the one.

We say nothing new in spiritual terms, when we say that analogy is key to cosmology. Symbolically speaking, analogy provides a frame, a ring, to cosmology, as it provides the right microcosmic support for the intended macrocosmic influence. In essence, every act echoes in eternity, and if the magical act is correctly performed, if it hits the right vibration, it can make the whole universe ring like a bell. Something small and seemingly insignificant  can indeed have the capacity of shaking the whole Universe. Without wanting to be anal about this issue (a little pun intended), it is a useful reminder that anus etymologically is - ring. And so the keyhole of the vast cosmological puzzle lays right down at the root chakra. A true magician is not distorted by the magnificent glittering of the starry night or the blinding shine of a beautiful day. He can cut right through all magical emanations and strike down at the root of the cosmic tree, thus elegantly solving the problem of cosmic proportions, if he can find the right support to his magical wand or lever, of course. And so, the question is now, who is the true Lord of the Rings, who hods the key and where is the keyhole hiding?


  
As we can see, the Old bridge is a mystical symbol with an enormous array of implications. However, it is still widely accepted that the bridge was built simply in order to connect the two sides of the river, holding no particular decorative purpose or significance. The main influence on the design of the bridge, according to this belief, is the morphology of the location and its surroundings.  

However, nothing could be farther from the truth. Such belief system is a consequence of our über functionalistic and mechanistic civilization, whose mechanisms have become so dysfunctional that it is hardly a civilization anymore. We live in a symbolic blindness, the realm of the shadows. We call it love and it isn’t. We can’t see love, because we are blind. Our civilization is a pendulum of the holocaust: it is either ongoing or waiting to happen. Love is the law, which stipulates that every form of energy must be directed and applied with integrity to the fullest satisfaction of its destiny. Love is not optional, whether we recognize it or not, it is the cosmic law.

We are about to expose the secret by shining the true light into its core. And the truth will set us free. However, in order to see the true light we must go way back into the past in order to remove all veils and smoke curtains of Frankincense covering the sanctuary.

One of the main curtains is the false belief that the glagolitic script is a script invented by St. Cyrill. This is simply not true. It is thousands of years older. The Glagolitic is an ancient, divinely inspired script which keeps the central occult truth of the mind of the God as expressed in mystical mathematics. Ancient Glagolitic Gematria is the source of all knowledge, the source of alchemy, which is then derived across the spectrum: architecture, music, economy, production, finance, and so on. The Gematria of the Slavic and Hebraic language follows the same basic idea and rules. The numeric values are accredited according to the table presented here. In occult practices, only the consonants are accredited value.


The name Mostar  when written in the Glagolitic sacred script is MZTR. Since the bridge is the alchemical deed built with the help of the God, it is the product of the mind of the God, the universal mind. Mind in our language is Mozak which in the occult craft is written without vowels MZK ( MZK). Bridge is most or, as known in the etymological script, mozt, which is MZT (MZT) .

MZTR (MZTR) written in the Glagolitic script represents the alchemical deed. First step is the fall into the matter called Nigredo. Second phase is Putrefaction - cleansing, a chaotic phase of attempts to find balance as symbolized in the glagolitic letter Z - Z which looks just like the Mostar bridge. Sir J. Y. Simpson associated the letter Z in the specimen as the cross of the two equinoxes and the two solstices on the Earth's path. This symbolizes ideally the higher purpose of mundane existence. Third phase is adjustment called Albedo, the whitening, or Adjustment. The fourth act is Rubedo or the sublimation of matter into spirit symbolized in the double Glagolitic R which looks like geyser.
  

The Universal Mind has numeric value of 669, which equals 3 x 223. 223 is the number of Christ. It is a union of 22 and 23 in the common number 2, and two is the number of the Son, Christ.

Number 22 represents motion, circle, infinity, creation, endless cycle of incarnations, but it can also represent the final point at the end of cycle, the closing time, the closing of the ages.

23 represents the organizational principle (idea) acting upon the realm of spirit and matter in order to create the incarnation of spirit. It represents the missing letter of the Torah and the hidden prophet. It thus symbolizes fresh new beginnings starting from the completely new slate. The union of 22 and 23 symbolically represents two circles attached to each other, the leaned eight or the Lemniscate. Triple eight is 24 and thus 22 and 23 are seamlessly transmutated into 24 which represents the double harmony between the heaven and earth as represented in the double cross, the wheel of rebirths. St. Jerome sees it as multiplication of four elements (Earth, Water, Air and Fire) in the six days of creation. 24 or triple eight can be also seen as 888 which is the number of Christ, the resurrection, the baptism, the redemption.  By its composition, this number is considered as perfect.  As an alchemical symbol it is associated with gunpowder.

Now let us move to the bridge or its Glagolitic Gematric symbol - MZT. The number is 369, which is the union of circle (365) and square (4). 365 is the animation of the earth by the spirit of time. Number four represents matter: four elements, four sides of the world, four evangelists. It represents unity in firmness, incarnation of matter in the physical world, the realm of space and time, the realm that can be observed with our senses.  This union of cycle and square, the mystery of squaring the circle, symbolizes Platinum which in turn represents determination, grit, and seeing our manifestations to completion. Platinum is a catalyst and a perfect union of principles. As a catalyst it also serves as accelerator or amplifier. Despite its dual nature, it is firm in oneness, but its firmness is can be elusive, since it has a contrary effect on other substances. As an amplifier or an auxiliary element of a process that helps to transform other matters but itself remains solid it is associated with the word para. Para is something elusive, not real, as shown in such words as paravan, paramilitary, paradox, etc. In Greek language word para meant contrary. In our language para is a mix of water and air, something elusive and glittering which sets processes into motion. We use the word para for steam and also for money. If money is the firm aspect of Platinum; if it is firm and stable then it is a catalyst. However, if it is a shadowy self, it’s an illusion, a ghost, a demon. As such Platinum is the para, the firm element that produces the moving spirit, which is something that exist although cannot be seen. It is the Deux ex Macchina. Para is the etymological origin of the word pharaoh, or the Egyptian king. The ideal king was the lord of unrule. He ruled by his sheer presence: he did not have to govern. His influence was mystical and automatic in the cosmic sense: it was devoid of any type of action and as such was ideal, because every action immediately produces its contradiction, and they both act together producing only the illusion of progress, effectively a confusion.

Platinum is by the same token associated with Pluto, the ice cold changer that never changes and cannot be seen. The name Hades in Greek means unseen. In our language Pluto is cork, something very light that keeps spirits locked in the bottle. Being the depressant it raises pressure and temperature in the bottle. Although hell looks very cold from the outside, it is damn hot inside. This is an allegory of matter and a human being. Our spirit is heated and unable to find peace because it is locked in the material body.

Pluto or cork holding spirits in the bottle remains ice cold and unnerved by the rampage of the heated spirits frozen in matter. Yet, there is  good in every bad. The heat and pressure of spirits in the underworld produces the motion necessary for the eternally moving Universe. However, if you mix Uranium and Plutonium, if a ray of light enters hell, Pluto will give way. The Pluto, cork, pops and all spirits are set loose from the bottle, meaning that all devils are set loose from hell. This is the equivalent of opening the Pandora's box or exploding a nuclear bomb.

More on the symbolism of 369. 3 is the holy trinity representing the eye of the Sun while 69 represents the Moon or Pisces. This symbolism can also be interpreted in the way that 69 represents perfect Union of opposites, while 300 is a microcosmic creature acting as a source of activity of the universe. Thus 369 is a perfect union in motion. It represents the Universe.  Number 369 also represents gradual and orderly transformation, something very Piscean in nature, devoid of the Uranic thunders of Aquarius or Plutonic erruptions of the underworld.  This controlled yet wild  transformation or transition is the perfect description of an object called Most or Bridge.

The name of the city, Mostar is Most plus the double inverse Ra, aR. The bridge or Most, as concieved by the master mason who is the medium of the mind of god, Toth, the architect of the Universe, is meant to reflect the light of Ra, the enlightened spirit of the architect corresponds to the enlightened master of the universe, thus the energy is incoming and outgoing. In this process the energy is annihilated, as the energy of AR – RA appears twice but with opposite prefixes. This in turn means that energetically Mostar equals Most because Ar RA annihilates itself. When you remove the RA the perfect union still remains in the uncorrupted body and serves as the center of the world, axis mundi. In fact the Most is the exact picture of the mind of the god, while the town is the exact picture of the bridge, Most. The world is the exact picture of the town. Here we have an ingenious deed, a literal application of the main alchemical rule “As above, so below, as within, so without.”  

Above we have seen that the bridge is the symbol, the reflex of the eye of Ra, the moonlike illusion, the shade of eternity. It is a revelation, which is much, much higher than any message, sign or symbol that can be possibly concieved by a human being. If a picture speaks a thousand words, if the symbols speaks a thousand pictures, then the language speaks a thousand symbols. A thousand languages speak the revelation.
The bridge represents the Universe; it is the guardian, the teacher and the redeemer. Every person crossing the bridge is participating in the alchemical process of transfiguration. The person standing on its top represents the top authority of the Universe. The person who dives from the bridge represents the fallen angel, the cosmic dive of spirit into the matter, the immaculate conception.

Hajrudin constructed the bridge as the symbol of card 18 of the Tarot called The Moon, which rules the astrological sign of Pisces. The towers of Halebija and Tara are the jackal guardians of the sun gate, which is symbolized by the Moon. Rightfully so, the gate or the bridge had been constructed in the shape of the crescent Moon. The sun gate opens at the new moon. This point is Zero, when nothing blocks the door, when the jackals keep the door wings wide open, the ovulation. The cosmic vagina can then be penetrated by the sun in order for new life to be concieved. In this way the town was regenerated every month or, more precisely 13 times a year. 13 times is one cycle, full year, representing the life of man, because card number 13 in Tarot is The Death card. However, the life of the town and the world is represented in the astrological year which is ruled by the precession of the equinox. This astrological year lasts around 2,100 years and, just as man will be transformed at the time of his death and reborn, it was necessary for this town to die and be resurrected at the end of the cosmic year.  However, this cannot happen as a slow transition, it can only happen as the transmutation. It is symbolized by card number 16 called The Tower.



The jackals are symbolically reminding us to let go of the old in order to pass through the gate of the new beginning. The dogs at their feet are waiting to devour those fallen from the arc. This includes both spirit and matter. At the bottom of the card we can see Kephri, the Egyptian symbol of transformation, which is equal to Shiva or Holy Spirit. Kephri is a vampire, a blood sucker. It higher meaning represents the Universe in motion, the transmitter, image of the galactic center, the sun. However, no concept can exist without its contradiction in this realm. Effectively, the only way to reinforce the original concept is to provide energy to its opposite. This is the magical aspect of sacrifice. Kephri, when divorced from this divine concept falls into its demeaning and represents magick without tears, the black magick. In that case, it is a devil turning the wheel of transformation which turns the Sun which, in turn, turns the Moon, grinding time and matter without any point, let alone absolute. However, in fact, the world turns and changes in perfect, higher harmony and purpose regardless of the observer's ability to see the light. It is perfectly possible to walk in the open sun and still live in darkness.

It seems inevitable that, in a perfect rhythm, from time to time the whole world sinks into the darkness so destructive that it requires a radical repair, a total overhaul. Tesla was absolutely convinced that this absolute concept is the physical manifestation of cosmic forces which completely depends on the Earth's position in the galactic order. However, through his fatalistic prism he not only saw, but, with his machines, he physically proved the existence of the magical code that manifests in our realm. However, he also established the existence of the physical border imposed on humanity by providence, which can be only traversed by redemption. This is the cosmic safety check, providential  balance, for otherwise man would be able to destroy the Universe.


And so the regenerations of the bridge and the world around it, the town and the Universe, that we are about to describe from time to time become much more revolutionary and dramatic than the gradual seamless changes as represented by the sun and moon shifts. The cosmic change is called the transmutation and is radically different: it is a disruption causing the substantial change. It is called the resurrection, a blessing in disguise.

Astrologically the card of the Moon belongs to Pisces. The Mostar bridge was erected in the age of Pisces, and the bridge was the town symbol and the town was the universal symbol of the Piscean era. It is the Universe. Just like the whole world it was a town ruled by the publicans and redeemed by the Dionysian characters, charlatans, electricians and drunks. 

Just like Mostar, since the destruction of the old bridge, the whole Piscean world has transmutated into the world of Aquarius. Today we have a divided town and a divided world ruled by the charlatans and drunks, which will be redeemed by the Capricornian character, the builder and the self sacrificing industrious character, the reincarnation of the master builder, Hajrudin, whose name in Arabic symbolizes Capricorn. That character will, just like Hajrudin in the legend, shine white light while standing alone beneath the stone rainbow constructed by himself as the scaffolding is being removed. This stone rainbow is the Capricornian arc, the new old bridge. The legend of Hajrudin we just mentioned, in which he had to stand underneath the bridge in order to verify its firmness until the scaffolding was removed and his hair turned white in the process, is a prophecy, a revelation. Time is a circle: what happened in the past will happen in the future.
    
Mostar that emerged from the last war is a perfect symbol of Bacchus, Dionysus or Aquarius: it is governed by its false shadow self, the doppelganger, it is double, yet it is one. It is a town divided in two ethnically consolidated parts which are opposites but in many ways the spitting images of each other. The town is grotesque and messy, with shabby, chaotic neighborhoods dotted by grotesque villas of the nouveaux riche pseudo-elite of drunks, village idiots, gamblers, quasi-artists and lawyers that feed on the differences, subconscious and illusory. Today Mostar symbolizes vice, blindness, dictatorship of rules, pointless action, stupidity, confusion and hatred. It is chaos. The main industries in the town are aluminum, electricity and wine, which is completely in line with the age of Aquarius. Hideous buildings housing bank offices, insurance, media and marketing companies, “decorated” with turquoise facades crisscrossed with aluminum- titanium, alloy bars only mirror the ubiquitous typhoon of insanity, garbage, chaos and suffering. The circle has withdrawn into the dot: the only redeemer is the bridge, the arc of the Universe. 

Mostar is not the only town in the world that has suffered the devastating tremors of the coming age of Aquarius. However, its fate is symbolic for the epoch. In this day and age we have excess of everything including the false awakening calls. The world is trying to pass through the sun gate but it is doing it the wrong way. The camel has tried to pass through the eye of the needle and was pushing harder and harder so it was no wonder that the bridge collapsed. When it fell down and after the drunken orgy stopped, the whole town was in ruins. However, it was a false redemption: nothing has been learned. The same is going in the world: one catastrophe is following the other, but nothing has been learned. We are covering one pile of garbage with another and now the tower of garbage is collapsing in front of our eyes. The humanity resembles a fat, drugged monkey sitting on top of the wheel of fortune made of garbage pile, desperately turning the wheel to find more garbage to eat and more cocaine to snort. He decided he doesn't need the sphinx and she would rather fall into the abyss than be raped by the crazed Hermanubis. As the sphinx is going down, the monster is emerging from the abyss.   Every action, every move the monkey makes brings the monster to closer to the top, and then the monkey will fall down, of course. However, he is so high, so full of himself, so blind and so weak that he is unable to accept what’s going on. Now the whole world is about to experience the same ruin and misery. We persisted in the top cardinal sin literally for millennia: we believed to the monkey prophet, we wanted magick without tears, we wanted black magic to redeem us and we are about to pay a fair price. 


The Mostar bridge was destroyed on 11/9 while the The Twin Towers in New York were destroyed on 9/11. Both events are quite obviously the numerological mirror images. When we add together the digits of the day, month and year of the destruction of the old bridge (11/9/1993) we get the sum of 24. The numerological sum of the New York event (9/11/2001) is 23. 24 as explained above is regarded as perfection, while 23 symbolizes the new beginning. It seems like 22 or the end is hanging in air. Those events, whatever they were, symbolize failed attempts to open the cosmic gate between the two pillars of Salomon's temple, Jachin and Boaz, or Tara and Halebija as the Mostar towers are called. Since both gates were destroyed in those attempts, it means that the camel is banging at the eye of a needle and, sooner or later, we hear - BAAANG!

On the surface, the first act in Mostar appeared as the uncontrolled act of wild passion, while the second act in New York appeared as a controlled surgical operation. To be fair, both events are, at some level the consequence of a higher force, something like the act of God, the ritual materialization of God’s will although manifested in demonic spirits. As such they are also demonic events, because they are both convoluted black engineering deeds, they are both engineered destructions and as such they belong to the opposite side of alchemy – black magick. If genius Hajrudin accomplished much more than a symbolic building, as he constructed the Magnum Opus – the universal symbol of eternity, the idiots who destroyed the Old Bridge and WTC Twin Towers accomplished infinitely less than nothing, they accomplished NOTHINGNESS.

These destructive deeds are infamous in the sense that they symbolize all that is wrong with humanity today. They are the mirror images of each other. They are reflecting misery augmenting it to the proportions of hell’s ditch. They both represent a false catharsis. Both destructions on the surface seem to be the outcome of nichilistic passion and barbaric wilderness, but in reality they were coldly calculated acts of psychological warfare in which all warring parties played their role: they all had vested interest in destruction. They thought that they would be able to control the demons locked in the bottle that. They thought that, if they listen to their weeping, if they make the right deal, the demons would listen, once released . This, of course, is called dealing with the devil and no wonder things turned out the way they did.

The crescendo of the disaster in Mostar was conducted by the expert in engineering of chromatic images, philosopher and film director. His destructive ritual was the work of a mad genius so consistent and complex that it could be superficially comparable to the opposite deed of construction.  However, as Shakespeare said: “It’s a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying – nothing!”

From this ritual emerged a new false messianic figure spiritualized in flesh only for a brief moment. He is represents the cosmic rapist, the flesh of false light -> darkness, the false magic wand. He IS the free wand, his card is the inverse Three Wands as he hides behind Virtue. He is one of the many false prophets speaking to us from TV screens. He has been temporarily locked up but will reemerge, because all demons will be set lose. Look at his card, the three wands trying to pass through the cosmic vagina, the star. The only creation he accomplished was the materialization of the blank strip in the coat of arms that divides Bosnia-Herzegovina seemingly forever. 

However, one day she will reemerge so solid that it will be the nucleus of the new world and thus the prophecy will be fulfilled. But before there that there must be more deception and misery. She will be saved by her lost son, the resurrected Dionysus and ascended to the Olymp. Note that the current arms of Bosnia when turned upside down represents the upside down tiara of the false peacemaker - the pope of the new false religion who was already announced by the northern spiral. Seven stars represent the seven stars from the Book of Revelation.


Let us take a look at the arms of the current pope. We can see three symbols. Inverse shell with 9 beams on the red background symbolizes the sunset, this time on the whole world. Jesus passed away at nine o'clock, Vishnu was incarnated nine times in a row. Claude de Saint-Martin sees in number nine the destruction of the body. The black crowned man with symbolizes the next and last pope. The earring on his left ear is symbolic of him being already "taken". The bear in heraldry always symbolizes the beast which in this case is sneaking at the back of the crowned black sacrificial lamb. Bear symbolizes archont, because its name in old Greek is arcos, in Gealic is arth, in Irish art, in Celtic artos. And so, bear is unmistakeably the symbol of the archontic beast from the Book of Revelation. The importance of arc symbolism cannot be underestimated and the bridge should never be left outside of the picture. Sapienti sat!


Let us go back to New York for one moment where we also had an induced delivery. As usual, it delivered to the world a screaming, blood-soaked - blood drinking, idiotic demon – demonic idiot (as Dionysus, he is two mirror images in one) that reads children’s stories upside down out loud. Idiot is the perfect medium of evil: he is a burnt vacuum tube, a useless white tube unfit to radiate the true light; he is full of nothing but, emptiness.  He is the epitome of the absurd, he is the false prophet speaking to the false messiah; he is the one who turned upside down the Byblical tale of burning bush that spoke to Moses. He is the false St. George slaying the false dragon. His card number is inverse 20, he hides behind the Judgment and Eon. His trumpet becomes a vacuum cleaner; his mystical arc becomes a black bag; the rainbow becomes a honey trap.



While both events attempted to leave a cosmic imprint on public consciousness, they soon emerged like caricatures, orgiastic vaudevilles with false prophets as the Bacchanalia leaders. If they accomplished anything, they let loose the Titans form the bottle. Both events were televised shows with a perverse production: millions are left dead, maimed and homeless. The occult events took place at profitable venues and the producers never cared for the damage. They cynically called it collateral and left the bill to be picked up by the public. 

The beauty of the WTC complex was questionable. The building were enormously oversized, it was a perfect monument to the banking so-called industry whose main purpose became the production of destruction, usury and exploitation. The old bridge in Mostar was, at the time of its construction as surreal and elusive as a rainbow. Nothing less could be expected from the building incarnating the Piscean era. Its profile pranced so thinly and elegantly over the water that most people had a hard time conceiving that such a building could be constructed out of stone, let alone stand in the air. It was indeed an illusion frozen in matter. Its inside was weaved of a secret and the secret didn’t exist: it was a hidden void in the center of its cross-section stretching across the whole length. The secret of its hovering was in the void, in abstraction and it wasn’t revealed until the bridge was brought down. It was a symbol of the redeemer of the age of Pisces: the arc of the Universe traversing the era of Pisces was as etheric as the Aquarius. It was indeed a moonlike Piscean bridge, its colors changed as the sun it was reflecting moved across the celestial equator. The secret was between the builder Hajrudin and the God. It was only he who saw it for what it was: a white gull, a winged Aquarius controlling the Pisces.  

The moonlike, crescent shaped sickle connected the towers of Tara and Halebija. Tara is notarikon of Torah and Taurus: it symbolizes material power and thus it is square shaped. It is a solar obelisk with a pyramid on top. Everything is elusive here in Mostar: everything is split in half and therefore every element has double meaning: square shaped tower represents the matter, while the round one represents the spirit. But this is only fair because the womb is full of the hidden spirit, while the phallus is hard. This mirage built in stone was and still is the symbol of the hidden prophet, the future redeemer hidden in the bridge.

“The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
                                                                                   John 3:8

Both towers encompass both principles, male and female. The Halebija tower is lower and has a rounded floor plan. Haleb is a word for Gypsy, however, in Arameic, the word means white. It has a similar meaning in our language, because galeb means gull and that bird is the epitome of white. Chaldeans derive their name from the same root: they are the brethren of the white Lord, Bel or Ba'al, the white Taurus or Tower. This tower also has a mixed symbolism: the Taurus should be on the other side, yet it also belongs here. Every part of this complex is as elusive as the bridge, as the Moon, as the Universe, it is in permanent motion. Its charms transcend our ability of comprehension; they are completely magical, alchemic. The bridge unites all symbols like the crescent of time, the Saturn, the long arc of the Universe leaning toward justice.     

In the end, the bridge was reconstructed, but nowadays we forgot the craft of making secrets so elusive that they don’t exist. The bridge is now pranced between the riversides without the magical soul breathed in its stones by the enlightened master Hajrudin. The reconstruction was done with the help of Thyssen Krupp under the following motto:

“In the past, the human race has always shown capacity to create something new just as it seemed that the Apocalypse was nearing.”

Franz Josef Redermacher


The three circles are symbolic of 666, since six openings of the compass, six lengths of the radius, define the circle. The whole Thyssen Krupp symbol represents the matter, symbolized in 666, passing through the arc of time, which can happen only as the gates of time become open. 

The soul of the bridge is not etherical and light anymore. It has a new soul, very serious, calculated and transparent in the sense that it has no secrets. However, the transparency is only illusory, its core of concrete and steel is completely untransparent! The once abstract and etheric interior has become concrete, solid and hard. And so, everything changed so that everything can stay the same in the most possible of ways: the concrete symbolizes the transmutation of Aquarius into Capricorn, because the liquid and flexible mix of ingredients produces hard, inflexible and monolithic whole.

Hajrudin is the the Ponfitex Maximus, the ultimate bridge builder, which was the main title of Roman Emperors inherited from the Golden Age, when king was regarded as the incarnation of the cosmic center, the unmoved mover, the cause that sets universe into motion. He is the ultimate alchemist: he is Mostar and Mostar is the bridge. This holy trinity, the perfect union, remains the hidden prophet of the coming era. The hidden concrete soul, pranced like Capricorn over troubled water, keeps the bridge, the town and the world together as one divided whole.  And beneath the bridge flows the turquoise river of Aquarius: it is the time irreversibly flowing into the sea of Capricorn. Time is on the side of Capricorn.

The truth is, however, that the hidden prophet was in Mostar when the bridge wasn’t there. He came from the white horse in the white cruiser and stayed hidden in the hidden arc. This ARC was just as etheric and hidden as the secret arc of Hajrudin. It was so transparent that it was present in the whole town, it was written on the walls, but no one was able to see it. 

Nobody saw the mystery for what it was. It was only fair to be so, because it wasn't the right time: the prophet was still hidden in his own soul. He had to know his dark side in order to emerge from the shadow. In other words he had to step over to the dark side, he first had to experience the false enlightenment.

After some time he had to leave and start his alchemical deed. First he had to experience the volatile Glorias Mundi. It is a mystery why it is axiomatic that the only way out of devil’s claws is through the dark side: why the only way out of the whirl is through it. This phase is called NIGREDO or the dark night of the soul. This phase is followed by the phase of cleansing called the putrefaction – he had to go to the center of the earth in order to see the light, the golden seed which is always too close to be seen. It is called the Mercy of God or Ioania or Joan D’Arc. And so, the female aspect of the redeemer is not Carla del Ponte, for she is the symbol of the false Aquarian prophet. In the process of reuniting with his light side the prophet had to first become his shadow self in order to learn to exercise his will and consciousness. When he became as light as the shadow he was able to pass through the arc. The first elusive arc made him a shadow, but when finally saw Joan of Arc in front of his eyes again, the firm burning rainbow, bright and light enough for his shadow, he passed through her. He transmutated and became real again.

But back then in Mostar, his soul number turned around: the nine became the six. The led zeppelin had to sink to the bottom like a yellow submarine, became it was held by, what was, in essence, a shadowy reputation. The number of the Union is 69. When six and 9 integrate they become 8 and then they can move mountains. When they completely reunite for the third time it will be the triple Union, the triple eight and triple eight is the Christ, the resurrection. The two opposites making the one whole will become eternally united. This will be the final redemption and the dawning of the age of Aquarius. This means that when everyone passes through the rainbow the Capricornian redeemer will have to remain on the other side, just like Moses wasn’t allowed into the land of Canaan.

However, that is not the end yet. Their union is a holy union: they are like Zeus and Athena. She jumped out of his mind all dressed up and ready. That was the beginning of the union. However in the latter days he will have to make sure that all the redeemed safely pass underneath the rainbow, but he will not be allowed into the Promised Land. But just as she emerged out of his mind like a spark, now he will jump back into her mind: it is she who will elevate him to the heavens, for she is the only one pure and capable of lifting this giant. This is the mystery: he will purify the redeemed souls, but he will have to be redeemed by her. That will be the final glory, salvation and fulfillment of the prophecy written in the land and waters: as time flows into the sea of Orion, thus the sea of Orion flows into the sea of Ionia. 

But before this mystical being takes you in through the outdoor to the age of Aquarius, be sure to unload all the unnecessary luggage.  Listen to the wind blowing in the air:

„Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Mathew 19:24

But what exactly did the wind say? This is the guidance:
  
“Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.“
John 20:29


8 -8- 8
„Because there's a monster living under my bed
Whispering in my ear
There's an angel with a hand on my head
She says Ive got nothing to fear
La ill aha ill Allah
We all shine like stars
We all shine like stars
Then we fade away“

Daorson


Most people might have not heard of a town in Herzegovina called Stolac and, if they have, chances are they have never heard of its amazing prehistoric sites. The name Stolac is typically associated only with its recent predicaments: war, devastation, economic poverty, bad politics, ethnic violence… However, this town and surrounding areas keep traces of human habitation which, as recognized by official science, go as far back as 16,000 years, but could very well go much further than that. A few kilometers west of Stolac is a sleepy village called Ošanići scattered in numerous hamlets around the hillside. On the far west of this area, at the hilltop, overlooking the site where Radimlja river enters the Bregava valley through a dramatic gorge, above the sacred plane called Ilinštak, lays Daorson, one of the most amazing and mysterious megalithic sites in the world.


The name Daorson derives itself from two words. The first word daor (dvor, davor, dver) has the original meaning of great gate in many languages including Slavic and Gaelic, which has developed into the meaning of castle, fort or temple. The word daor also gave way to d’or meaning gold or golden. The second word is Son, which in many languages means Sun, but can also mean son as male offspring. According to this etymology, the word Daorson means sun gate, golden gate or sun temple. In the complex symbolism of archaic times, Daorson also means star gate, since the Sun is also called Zvizda (Star) in the local Slavic vernacular, but can also mean Sun City, Way of (to) the Sun, or Son of Gold, or , indeed, Son of God which all has close linkages with Christ symbolism. In fact, all of these linguistics symbols are connected to gold through alchemical symbolism, because Sun and gold share the same alchemical symbol. Sun is also symbolic of God as is the gold. Curiously, in the Chinese language, the pictogram of the Sun and gold not only are they the same, but are the same as the European alchemical and astrological pictograms of the Sun and gold: a dot in a circle, or, as it is widely called, cup and plate, which we find in many ancient megalithic sites around the world. This symbol is in turn analog to Holy Grail.


These facts point to the global linkages of alchemy, language, astrotheology and sacred symbolism in the prehistoric or, more properly called, archaic times. For scholars of the ancient cosmology, the name Daorson, its position, orientation and layout symbolize that Daorson was the crown temple of the Great Alchemical Work (Magnum Opus), the crown jewel, the golden pyramid top of human purpose on this earthly plane, the temple of immortality of the soul and the symbol of the ultimate goal of human spiritual development being the opening of the seventh, crown chakra.

This amazing structure wasn’t erected for the reasons of earthly mastery: it’s about spiritual self-mastery with universal purpose. Masters that succeed in this great alchemical deed would become one with the whole universe. All of their material aspects would become spiritualized as they would sublimate into the sweet etherical foam of eternal light encompassing all frequencies possible in the universe. These masters or, more commonly called lords, exercised absolute lordship over material world by transcending material existence and transforming into pure light or spirit. Upon completion of the great alchemical work, they lived in eternity and infinity, beyond the apparent illusion of space and time. We normally think that these concepts are mystical, since they are so divided from our today’s concepts, but they are in fact quite rational. We can rise from this seeming chaos and find full symbolic conformity everywhere around us in Daorson. However, the observer must know what to look for and how to recognize patterns that he needs to connect. The mathematics is at the root of everything: occult is what is hidden, but what is hidden might be in front of our very eyes.

And so, Daorson was indeed the star gate or golden gate connecting individual soul (microcosmos) with the galactic center (macrocosmos). The atomic number of gold is 79. Since 7+9 is 16, it is wise to explore the symbolism of number 16. The best way to get a glimpse is to observe the Tarot card 16 called The Tower, which symbolizes the destruction of matter and the simultaneous process of opening of the crown chakra. One cannot fail to observe the amount of energy released during the event. Who knows, maybe sites like Daorson were constructed to serve as non reusable star gates, since the release of energy during sublimation would cause them to self destruct?


When one comes to the site of Daorson, the sheer size of megalithic blocks that form the so-called acropolis blows his mind. Some of the megalithic blocks used for erecting this structure are larger and heavier then those used in the building of the Giza Pyramids. The craft and intelligence with which these stones were formed and combined, along with the precision with which they were put together, transcends any knowledge available today. Modern stonemasons, with all the contemporary technology at their hands, could not replicate this structure. Just that insight is enough to direct the explorer on the path of spiritual discovery.



Daorson lays at the site which is called Banje (meaning Baths), although today this scenery resembles a rocky desert without any traces of water. Indeed, about a hundred years ago, the government has funded the construction of water cisterns designed to collect rain water in this seemingly waterless region. However, there are traces of water wells, pipes, pools and cisterns of enormous capacity almost everywhere at the site. Where has the knowledge disappeared? Where do we live today? Who are we? Where do we come from? Should we reform our concept of Stone Age technology? All these questions are so much in place in Daorson.

At observing this site, one has to be constantly reminded that he is looking at the pale shade of its former glory. We have to move beyond the Pavlovian reflexes produced by mind training and elusive experiences of our so-called society, which is more a chaotic jungle than anything orderly. We should tune ourselves into the minds and spirits of ancient architects and look, as they did, for what is not immediately obvious. The thinking process in the realm of the invisible is like finding a way in the house during a power cut: one has to be constantly reminded  that reaching for the light switch is futile: it is not about what we can see with our eyes, because we can’t see much anyway, but it’s about seeing with our inner senses. This takes time and practice. However, without this self mastery we will not rise above the materialistic illusion and will forever remain primitive, uncultivated spirits or, in the simple archaic language, demons.

In the words of Heraclitus called the Obscure (“obscure” from the point of view of the blind majority unable to see anything of true value or substance): “Poor witnesses for men are the eyes and ears of those who have barbarian souls”.

On that note, let us remind ourselves that the central pyramid of Daorson was ruined not so long ago, in the sixities, and that today it exists only in pictures and old sketches. The ink sketch presented below was drawn before the infamous exploration works in the sixties. These works were symbolically misdirected at chasing the wrong ghost, because there was no awareness that Daorson is a machine. Consequently, the ghost to look for here is the ghost in the machine. The destruction of the upper pyramid of Daorson was an exercise in chasing the ghost of material artifacts: a deed pathetic and unbelievably tragic in ignorance, enterprise and consequence. This is how the site roughly looked before the expedition, with the pyramid still partly there:

And this is the present all but total ruin of the pyramid after the so-called scientific exploration:


Luckily, there is another pyramid at the bottom of the hill that escaped the total destruction although the workers of the nearby sand quarry used it as a source of ready-to-use construction materials. However, based on the observation of the remains, it seems that construction workers have shown more respect and mercy than the so-called scientists.


There is a curios water cistern in the center of the acropolis of Daorson, situated between the upper-now-ruined-pyramid and the central gate. There is also another cistern or reflecting pool situated around 120 meters away from the gate of the acropolis, which also escapes the eyes of most viewers mesmerized by the monumental walls. This pool is situated at 33 degrees south of due east which points exactly to the place on the horizon where the new sun (son) is “born” every Christmas. The Orion’s belt on Christmas Eve is aligned with Sirius and they form a line which points to the exact place where the Sun is going to rise at Christmas dawn. However, there is the same symbolism on the other side of the equation: the same alignment is present at the dawn of Vulcanalia on August 23rd or the feast of the underworld. On that day the constellation of Virgo is symbolically ascended to the daily skies, while the sun loses its strength. Six days later the Christian church celebrates the feast of the Beheading of John the Baptist. On that particular dawn, the alignment of the Orion belt and Sirius points to the place where the sun will be born again on Christmas. This is the stellar prophecy of the invincible sun, Sol Invictus, and the astrotheological basis for the story of the Biblical prophet who came to prepare the way for Christ!


These pyramids and pools, along with other ancient water engineering elements present at the site, show us a radically different scientific concept from the one dictated today by the tyranny of officialdom. Humanity in this day and age has adopted a strange belief that it can better direct energies than God, Universe or nature, as you like it. Thus the whole purpose of human existence has become the futile wrestle with nature which results in total destruction permeating every aspect of our lives. This warped, diabolical illusion, protest against God, has turned the whole world into a quagmire. And so, instead of understanding why water, winds, stars, planets, seasons, animals, earthquakes and other energies follow certain lines and simply riding those energy lines, humanity applies energy “solutions” in isolation of the whole energy picture. Needless to say, this has devastating effects on nature but also on human consciousness. We have in effect engineered the hell we presently live in. The dictatorship is total: any dissonant voice that opposes the dogmas of the church of science will be shut up in spite of his genius. Take Tesla for example!

The modern scientific dogmas are exactly opposite of technologies of archaic times. They were not  based on imposing human will on nature but on living in harmony with nature and the whole universe. Diabolical, as understood by ancients, was something which is separated from the being, substance or existence. On the other hand, symbolical is something which is identical to the true substance of the observed, what in philosophy is called the Dasein. And so, the present civilization is not at the top of human development. Mesmerized by the mere possession of technological amenities, toasters, atomic bombs, mobile phones and microwave ovens that most people have no concept of, we, the modern barbarians believe we are the most knowledgeable, the most profound, the most beautiful and advanced beings that ever existed. But we are not: we are on the exact opposite. We are the most ugly, polluting, destructive, toxic and demonic spirits that have ever inhabited this Earth.

Daorson has a symbolical name, it reflects its Dasein, for it is indeed a star gate. On the other hand, our brains are automatically skeptical of anything that conforms to the inner truth, because they are shaped by the experience of living in our “civilization” of lies and deception. We are less intimidated by shopping malls than ancient sacred sites. We are infinitely less skeptical about the diabolical then about the symbolical. However, we should be reminded that, simply because today something as profane as a shopping mall is called “City Center One”, it doesn’t mean that it represents unity or excellence (symbolized in number one), it doesn’t mean that it is the center of anything except degradation (and degradation hardly has any substance, let alone a center) and simply because it is called “center” it does not mean that it is situated in the center of anything (for shopping malls are, as a norm, situated in ugly suburbia).

However, Daorson is simply a place where what you see, hear and feel is what you get; it is symbolical, not diabolical. Its name is identical to its substance. Its name reflects its purpose, its Dasein. Truth is such a simple concept that does not need further elaboration.

Let us return to its water engineering wonders. The lower pyramid seems to be situated near  the bottom of a spiral stone pipe ending in a chamber, which could not be made with our present technology. This is the entrance to it at the level of the Acropolis…

….while this is the how the seemingly endless water pipe or tunnel looks as seen from the top. Look at the precision and the shape of these spiral elements!



It is without doubt that this complex, Daorson, is an ancient machine. In concept it reminds of the Tesla machine made of glass and lead, which was functioning only when certain constellations were aligned in the sky. Its design has been lost (if the official version is to be trusted), however, the patent was awarded to Tesla upon the physical presentation of the machine to the patent office. Based on the information and testimonies that survived, specially shaped glass in the form of mirrors would create dazzling light effects encompassing all frequencies possible in the Universe, the energy spectrum similar to the one of the Sun.

Lead, on the contrary, as conceptualized by alchemy, is the ruler of the dark, lustreless prime matter. The atomic number of lead is 82: the two digits give us the numerological sum of 10. Number 10 is the symbol of space and time, since there are exactly ten points on the sphere equally distant from each other and the center. This geometric phenomenon analogical to sacred properties of number ten lead Pythagoras to conclude that all space is contained in the sphere of time and that time can be understood merely as the measure of physical proportions. This is the mystical basis for our numeric system based on number 10 that gives the best insight into physical proportions, while the measure of time is based on the elusive, spherical, spiritual concept of 360 degrees. Lead then is the symbol and essence of the realm of space and time, the prime matter.

Since lead is prime matter, materia prima, it seems that the opposition of the purest spirit and darkest matter was producing the dynamics necessary to produce motion. The transmutation of lead into gold, the turning of prime matter into spirit is the ultimate goal of alchemy, which is also encompassed in the alchemical symbolism of Led Zeppelin. Alchemy is the craft of spiritualization of matter, wisdom that makes the heaviest matter such as lead fly like a balloon, a zeppelin. One can further contemplate other alchemical symbolisms, such as the one of prince charming awakening the sleeping beauty.

Tesla has practically shown with his machine that astrology is indeed a science, although some things about astrology are not clear. The fact that not everything is clear about physics does not disqualify it as a science. For example, we don’t know the source of gravity, but numerous theories exist that explain its practical consequences. Ignoring gravity, although we don’t understand its nature, could have devastating consequences, so why do we think that ignoring some subtler forces could not have equally or more devastating effects? Maybe today’s technology is playing with something far more dangerous which could have delayed but profoundly merciless effects?

Daorson was the ultimate cosmological archaic machine which would function only when certain constellations would activate its energy fields. Today we understand that the best machines are those without moving parts, those that function due to changing energy fields. It is not hard to imagine that this machine would start functioning when certain alignments were present in the sky. Its pyramids, gates, water pipes and cisterns all functioned in coherence with the stellar calendar, lifting water and producing the most amazing deeds uncomprehendable to the profane observer not in tune with Sacred Science.

In the end of this short essay, let us return to the name Stolac. Stolac means seat or throne. The kingly purpose of Daorson, the place of the Lord of lords, King of kings has been already established in this text. The word kraj in the Dalmatian dialect means king, it means place but also means the end. This archaic word symbolizes the end of spiritual development, the completion of the Magnum Opus, the ultimate place, the end of times and the end of earthly existence as symbolized in the Book of Revelation 17:14. “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.“

The numerology of Biblical verses reflects their alchemical symbolism. 17 in Tarot is the Star (Sun) and 14 is Temperance or Art. This Biblical verse and Tarot cards symbolize the crux of the alchemical art, the completion of the Magnum Opus. It is the art of becoming the Sun, or one with the Sun (Son), which is the star gate, the way to the galactic center, to eternal life. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me.“ (John 14:6)

The card 17 in Tarot is the card of total purity and new beginnings. We can see the central star, Sun with eight rays (8 symbolizing eternity) and seven stars (7 symbolizing all encompassing Universe in motion) around it. We can see a pure, naked virgin, pouring etheric water into the water and onto the ground. In the background, we see an empty plane, a distant hill and Phoenix collecting the fragrant twigs of wisdom. This is the card of Aquarius, the water bearer symbolizing the end of an era or the end of times. When disciples ask Jesus what they should do when times (age, era) near the end, he answers: "Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him" (Mark 14:13) In other words, follow the Aquarius, prepare to follow the Age of Aquarius!

The card number 14 symbolizes the ultimate art: the measure of components, temperance, reflection and self-mastery. This angelic, Apolonic figure holds one leg in the water, the prime matter, while the other is tiptoeing on dry land: rising into the spirit! We can see the enlightenment, the opening of the third eye on its forehead, the pyramid top (gold) aligned with the heart (gold) and the sun, the all seeing eye of Ra, shining from the mountain tops.

So if we have the art of becoming the king symbolized in Daorson, if we have Stolac, the town’s name, which means throne, where is then the throne of the King of kings today?

Well, it seems to have been taken down from Daorson and placed near the church of St. Peter and Paul about a kilometer away. This throne indeed has a profane medieval history that shades its archaic purpose. All official histories are profane, as they don’t allow for anything sacred: that is indeed the purpose of their creation and the Dasein of history that hijacked the spiritual purity at the end of archaic era. It is said, probably with a good historic background, that the local feudal lords used this throne to make fair judgment in the Middle Ages. However, there is nothing in the surroundings of this throne that is nearly as monumental. The throne looks like a part of Daorson that was dragged into the valley and damaged during this primitive and painful process, so symbolic of that time, just like everything in the Dark Ages was primitive and painful. The church of St. Peter and Paul is charming, but there is nothing monumental about its design or its surroundings. This seat clearly belongs to something as meghalitic and monumental as Daorson: it is the seat of the king and queen, at the end of their spiritual path where they would sit before vanishing in a flash of light.


However, there is still something very mysterious about this church. It has a magic square in its center and one of the stones on the patio has the curious symbolism of the all seeing eye of Ra, the Sun (the King of kings) and mixed Scorpio / Sagittarius allegory, which points to November 21st, when Sagittarius takes over the celestial rule from Scorpio, which is the feast of the King of Kings, according to the Gregorian Christian calendar. The cosmic bow of Sagittarius (analogical to Milky Way) points to the center of the galaxy symbolized in the new Sun to be born on Christmas and the beginning of the rule of the Capricorn. 

Is this another symbol or will we continue to worship the sacred accident, the cornerstone of our present “civilization” based on the chaotic cosmology which is, even as a term,  contradictio in adjecto, because cosmos means order and harmony? As a help in this “dilemma”, if it exists at all, we can reflect on the thought that the universe is intelligent beyond human comprehension and that it always leaves symbols for the interested observer. However, the fact that it takes symbolic literacy to do the reading should not confuse those that are illiterate to believe that it is only chaos that exists in this realm. Illiteracy cannot be the judge of wisdom. From the seeming chaos, a subtle order invariably peeks, but that observation requires a soul.

However, this symbolic journey never stops for those with the eyes to see, ears to hear and hearts to love. Psychonauts wanted on the Illyrian Mysteries’ Tours!
