SOL-OM-ON

The biblical King Solomon was known for his wisdom, his wealth, and his writings. The name solomon sealSolomon is derived from the words sol, om and on. The meaning of the word sol is the second sun, light, soul and also peace. The meaning of om is the sacred syllable used to represent God, the Logos, anima mundi or world soul. On means being, and also a movement, action, or some type of power supply.

Manly P. Hall in his great book, The Secret Teachings of all Ages calls Solomon, “The Spirit of Universal Illumination–mental, spiritual, moral, and physical. The name Solomon he states, symbolizes light, glory, and truth collectively and respectively. It signifies its invisible but all-powerful, spiritual and intellectual effulgency.”

In Hebrew, Solomon is שְׁלֹמֹה (Shelomoh) which was derived from Hebrew שָׁלוֹם (shalom) “peace”.  Solomon is also called the name Jedediah which comes from Yedidya, a Hebrew name meaning “Friend of God” or “beloved of God”. The name for solomon in Arabic is سليمان, Suleiman or Sulayman.

Other spellings of sol can be found in saul, and soul. Sol is often mistakenly referred to as the sun because of the Latin sol, but it is not. Sol represents the second son which is the planet Jupiter, who was often referred to as the soul of the world, anima mundi, and king of the gods. In Hebrew, sol means peace, as it also does in Arabic. (more…)

The alchemical formula exists only within the nature of man himself

(By Manly P. Hall) – As one of the great alchemists fittingly observed, man’s quest for gold is often his undoing, for he As above so below as withinmistakes the alchemical processes, believing them to be purely material. He does not realize that the Philosopher’s Gold, the Philosopher’s Stone, and the Philosopher’s Medicine exist in each of the four worlds and that the consummation of the experiment cannot be realized until it is successfully carried on in four worlds simultaneously according to one formula.

Furthermore, one of the constituents of the alchemical formula exists only within the nature of man himself, without which his chemicals will not combine, and though he spend his life and fortune in chemical experimentation, he will not produce the desired end. (more…)

Holy Astrotheology and the Undying Stars with David Mathisen On GW Radio

It is not too late for us to reconnect with this ancient knowledge: it is right over our heads, which means that it is also right inside of us. – David Warner MathisenDavid-Mathisen-slide-1

In this new episode of the Gnostic Warrior, I interview astrotheologist, star investigator and author, David Warner Mathisen. David is the author most recently of The Undying Stars: the truth that unites the world’s ancient wisdom and the conspiracy to keep it from you; a book exploring the evidence that the stories in the Bible, as well as the sacred myths and scriptures of nearly every other culture on our planet, are built upon a common system of metaphor, and which convey a powerful, liberating and uplifting shamanic worldview that may well represent humanity’s shared inheritance from a sophisticated lost civilization.

Wisdom cannot be imparted to an idiot

Wisdom cannot be imparted to an idiot because the seed of wisdom is not within him, but wisdom mayWise old man be imparted to an ignorant person, however ignorant he may be, because the seed of wisdom exists in him and can be developed by art and culture.

Hence a philosopher is only an ignorant man within whose nature a projection has taken place.

Book of Life

In ancient times, every church had kept a “Book of Life”, or register which recorded the names of those souls chosen by Book of Life 2the church and king to be prayed for. The Book of Life is a real life book based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, those who serve Christ, and the future kingdom of heaven on earth in which their names have been inscribed to inherit the future age. The names contained in this book are a list of souls written down, who through merit and service to the church and king, had their names written down as worthy souls to be prayed for, and were promised a future place in the heavenly kingdom.

The Book of Life is the set of names of those who will live with God forever in heaven. It is the roll of those who are saved. This Book of Life is also mentioned in Revelation 3:5; 20:12; and Philippians 4:3. In Christianity and Judaism, the Book of Life (Hebrew: ספר החיים, transliterated Sefer HaChaim; Greek: βιβλίον τῆς ζωῆς Biblíon tēs Zōēs) is the book in which God records the names of every person who is destined for Heaven or the World to Come.
