The Magic Of Solomon

There are two completely different and regularly conflated strands of folklore regarding the occasions of major 'unnatural' or supernatural and thus also 'occult' proceedings of power used by a well-known leader of people in the Western Judaeo-Christian tradition: 

Solomon, and

Nebuchadnezzar.

Babylon was adorned with a lot of lions

Even if you throw in there the British folklore of Merlin and King Arthur, this is really still a continuation -  at least in the handed-down literature - of the Judaeo-Christian series of legendary accounts.

Islam has a completely self-contradicting and upside-down version of it, in which Solomon alternately either has power over and uses the magic of thousands of genies, or he has power over them and suppresses any use of such magic, because 'doing magic is haram.' Islam says this is all to do with the 'angels' (or at least 'beings,' because Islam does not actually use the term angel in the way it is meant to be used in all other traditions) 'Harut' and 'Marut' who came down in Babylon at the time of the tower of Babel and Nebuchadnezzar and taught the people there magic. Now this would be impossible chronologically speaking in terms of any of these mythical narratives, because the life of Solomon (maybe around 1000 BC) occurred a lot earlier than the existence of Babylon and Nebuchadnezzar (maybe 560 BC)...!

Even so, all the way up until the invasion of Spain, Muslim occultists have been producing ideas about magic and the use of genies to work wonders and supernatural magic. In almost every single instance of such books and the ideas contained therein, the proposition is that magic has the primary role in medicinal healing - first some named genie causes an illness, and then some incantation and some herbs procures the cure. The most extensive book of this kind is an archetypal 'grimoire' first produced in Spain, called ' The Book of Deadly Names.' And this is not actually all that much different in the Jewish occult texts.

This is acknowledged as the basis of the so-called 'Law of Moses'
It is very old - maybe 1800 BC
This is from the FIRST Babylonian Dynasty  - this is where Islam gets its 'Harut,' which
is really, a contraction of  'Hammu' (father of) 'Raput' (healers). 

In Freemasonry, there is also a standard tradition that is somewhat similar to the Islamic versions of events, in which Solomon and the king of Tyre, Hiram II, are identities who work magic - and this would be historically sound enough but for the inclusion of the same Babylonian elements which are complete anachronisms. 

Yet this doesn't stop today's Illuminati from miss-labeling things like the Arch of Triumph of Palmyra as 'the Gates of Baal.'

Now in the first place 'Babylon' actually means 'the Gate of Baal.' And it is therefore eye-brow raising to wonder why it is that today's usual suspects when it comes to all things occult, are bent on employing the Babylonian connection all the time.

I suppose in this Blog it is not much point me saying 'in my view' since I do actually know, the full answer... And you know that I think I certainly know.

Part of the answer is that things that are really kept hidden by actual leaders, can actually truly remain hidden and therefore outsiders often make up what they speculate, is inside the mystery: hence the usual grimoire-style formula which finds its way into the public. In other words these grimoires are false. In that they do not record actual occult matters but speculated occult ideas and 'spells.'

One simple commonality of the narratives of Solomon and Babylon is that both kings there in the accounts looked upwards to 'high places' to consort with whatever was presumed to be 'up there.' So this part is not false.

And it applies also in any Egyptian narratives about the sources of magical power; they all 'come from above.'

Today we have an entire academic industry, as you know, about Egyptology (and counter-Egyptology!) and there are massive bodies of so-called academic work employing translations of hieroglyphics - and these are all perfect nonsense (including the counter viewpoints). It must be remembered that the Rosetta Stone was related to a much later period than when hieroglyphics were first invented and the Egyptian hieroglyphics recorded on the Stone are quite a different style of text than the ancient hieroglyphics albeit visually similar superficially. Some ideas of course are correct but these are few and far between.

In terms of the Babylonian connection, the Babylonian Empire succeeded in overturning the pre-existing order and it was a wealthy and successful militaristic Empire - which is reputed to have indeed based its success on magic; and that is also what today's occult believe.

But as I say, it is not what made Solomon wealthy. Solomon was wealthy because he was wise.

And he was wise because he knew things as fact and not because of the magical pronouncements of fantasy beings.

There are real magical things, certainly. That is, things that are far from the usual - but none of them are unnatural, albeit they will seem to be. The real chronology of such magic goes like this:

1. The god Theuth - brings writing and early 'higher' civilization to Man.
2. He engenders Solomon
3. He, 'Theuth,' is also the source of the Egyptian kings - also known by the incorrect terminology 'Pharaoh' which simply means 'big House/Dynasty.'
4. Solomon causes great cities to be built including ancient Tamar - which the Greeks called 'Palmyra.' The Greeks called the god that Solomon worshiped 'Hypsistos,' and the Temple at Palmyra is correctly called the Temple of Theos-Hypsistos. Or Dion-Hypsistos. The main thing about Solomon's 'temples' (plural) is that they were sanctified by some means - the Greeks used the description 'dion' which means 'holy.' And we need not go too much further about it because it will cause a lot of trouble if I went on much further.
5. Some of the ideas of Theuth are preserved in the writings of early Greek and Roman (standard, well-known) mathematicians and thinkers. 

Everything that I have said is featured as stone relief artwork on all of the major 'consoles' attached to the stone-work of the main temple structures at Palmyra.

In ancient times the surface artwork was adorned with lazurite and other very colorful stones and semi-precious gemstones.

Lazurite was one of the ingredients the god Theuth used to develop the 'ink' and the pigment used for writing and coloration of early types of 'paper.'

Lazurite - often contains pyrites, and sometimes, real gold

It is the key ingredient of the purple color used by the Venetian State in the Renaissance. And there it was mixed with the particular sea-urchin extract (Tyrian) to manufacture a unique type of blue or purple color. Once again, to outsiders, this legend about the so-called 'Tablets of Hermes' is a speculation, about what Hermes (Theuth) taught to his actual followers. When outsiders found out that a colored stone base was used by the followers of Theuth, they presumed it to have been emerald - which was often confused in early Greek writings with other bluey-green stones like lazurite - and they further presumed that whatever was written down over the stone tablets, was magical.

But let me leave you as to no doubt whatsoever - even the mathematics and literary ideas in the real writings of Theuth (David, in the Hebrew) are as magical of things as you will ever encounter... And they certainly do contain ideas about how to become incredibly wealthy and they are 'magical' in that they consort with 'higher powers' of which we have little idea from any of the common legends or narrative accounts.

And I may, give out one or two, quite directly, in the next missive. 

  

Why There Is Occultism In Money

If we take two of the largest by population, religious ideologies on the planet - Christianity and Islam - and consider the dynamics of co-operation inside them: with respect to one, death is the penalty for being a 'munafiq' or someone who is hypocritical towards their outward religious stance. The sword and death are the means of encouraging 'co-operation' within the community where there could be a chance of dissent within the ranks.

And with respect to Christianity - and here we are talking, at least in putative terms, for the sake of the logic of the argument, of GOD HIMSELF as the central core around which human beings might co-operate - not even twelve of the closest followers could hold together 'when the going got tough...'

LOL

The Roman Army: 'Right you bastards, we're going to kill you.'

Christians: 'Run away! ...In all different directions!'

Palmyra - the oasis city in the desert

So on the basis of these examples, it might well be impossible to expect the voluntary co-operation of human beings.

I have been very successful in business ventures that I myself conceived, and had to recruit others around which and around me, to develop into larger-scale going concerns.

And I cannot tell you that in fact I ever had the experience of actual 'co-operation' of all of the necessary players all at the same time, all moving in the same direction with equivalency of energies for more than just a fraction of the time.

Experienced and knowledgeable business people regularly use information that only they themselves happen to be privy to at the time, in order to take advantage over others so that voluntary co-operation of a group becomes less of a vital necessity for the success of their activities. 

To someone who has the privileged knowledge or information, the thing isn't 'unnatural' or 'occult' it is simply hidden from others.

'Sheiduna' - Arabic meaning 'female Satan'
an incredible new composition by
Cecile Zarokian of Paris

And to those on the outside it represents the mysterious, the maybe - magical - the unnatural, the maybe also, morally wrong. Somehow it appears to be a trait of human kind, that if everyone has some item of important information, then no one will co-operate easily to use it altruistically although much is made about how altruistic human beings are as social beings. This is all superficial hype though - people don't co-operate. Not by nature and not voluntarily.

Alternatively, people seek individual power.

I suppose one 'opposite' word for something 'occult,' is something illuminated. 

And so for good reason we intelligent people ought to realize that 'Illuminism' and/or 'The Illuminati' means 'the occult...' 

Now intelligence is one of those things that may be spread around without loss of personal individual advantage, even though it is difficult to have it happen - you see, you have to have sufficient natural ability of mind in the first place, to receive something that enhances your intelligence.

*

So I can't make you intelligent, more than you already are intelligent. All I can do is converse with myself, in a way; I am conversing with the same mind set. If you, as physically distinct from me, became very wealthy through something you thought you learned here, it wouldn't cause me loss - because my sole goal in my whole life and existence, is in the growing of the number of intelligent beings around us...

So let me tell you that there are 'Occult' movements, relatively small groups of powerful people in the world, and they engage in a lot of outward actions that affect a lot of people. They do this in order to hide things, and to take advantage of those hidden things.

If you look at the internet about the particular subject (Ancient Palmyra) you will find rumors about the so-called 'Baal Gate' and the ruins at Palmyra and that ISIS has destroyed many things there.

Now there is nothing more occult and more mysterious in the Bible New Testament, than the matter of the so-called 'Three Wise Men from the East,' or by popular though not scriptural reference, the Three Wise KINGS.'

There are current very very hyped commercial pseudo-documentaries (EG - Zeitgeist, the movie) attempting to suggest that 'the three kings' refers to some stars or constellations - but this is pure propaganda and it is moreover essentially 'occult agenda' stuff.

Now it is the case that there also were monuments in Afghanistan to do with Buddhist and Khan Empire symbols that were destroyed by the Taliban. And so we must not assume that only Christian things are affected. No indeed.

So here are the facts for you:

One of the greatest challenges Islam has ever mounted - or at least it is a strident assertion they make all the time - is that there is no co-eval independent source or there are no sources which describe the person 'Jesus Christ' or 'Jesus of Nazareth' and so on, and therefore there is no proof he ever existed.

And that is not even close to being true.

Sometimes it is the 'occult' nature of the narrative though, the way things are spun, the 'cast' that is deliberately placed on some event or something, that causes unsuspecting people to merely skip over something truly breathtaking in its import.

These things you need to know about 'Palmyra:' firstly it is the world's oldest inhabited civilized city with the longest history of continuous habitation by human beings.

Secondly, it is THE place from which the Aramaic word for 'king' comes - 'm'lk, or 'Melek.'

Thirdly, all historians and scholars agree that the Biblical 'Three Wise Men' came through the city of Palmyra.

Now I'm not going to go into every detail about why these things are important to us, and nor shall I expand into other details of note in the matter.

But what I will categorically state to you is that there is first grade, primary evidence both for the 'Three Kings' as actual individuals having been through Palmyra, and references to the Kingship of a person thought by certain people in Palmyra to be 'about to be born somewhere in the West.' And all of these things pre-date, the supposed time of Jesus of Nazareth, and they then also occur at the time of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.

In other words it is simply categorically the case that there was a 'Jesus of Nazareth' supposed by people outside the place, to be 'coming,' and then who subsequently, was born to the life intended according to ideas around at the time. Namely, he was supposed by them to be king. And not just any 'king;' THE King, literally also of Palmyra.

Now here's the problem for those who want to dispute what I just said - there is existing hard evidence for what I said. And as I said - these things are also highly 'occult' in the sense that they are deliberately hidden from the broader public.

But what possible 'advantage' could be gained from keeping such things hidden?

I don't know. 

I just know the amount of money and energy being used to push the 'Baal Gate' narrative, and the idea that people are simply robbing artifacts and selling them in order to buy weapons. But you and I know, however, they are not doing that - they are vandalizing the place. And you and I also know everything is done for a deliberate purpose.

'Baal' is not a Geek nor a Roman identity though, and the time of the building of the arch was in Graeco-Roman times - so in the first place it is not even actually called the 'Baal Gate.' I know what the name for it actually is but I'm not going say - because it is occult. However, the ordinary tradition of a large number of different cultures say that 'Solomon' built the city of Palmyra in deep antiquity.

Next episode, we shall look into how Solomon became rich.

'Just When You Thought You Knew...'

A few days ago was the anniversary of the death of Levon Helm. Some people credit Levon Helm with writing the lyrics to 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down' although formally it is still credited to Robbie Robertson.

(Mark) Levon Helm

Whatever the truth is there we don't really need to know for sure because it doesn't really matter now...

(That's a kind of a Confederate thing to say, y'all).

Levon Helm is the person who played the much acclaimed cameo role of a legendary gunsmith and ballistics expert in the Mark Wahlberg action-thriller 'Shooter.' And what a good movie it is. And what great performances by all involved.

And this is where we can see an effective example of the Calibi-Yau Manifold in auditory action:

What's The Significance?

I hope there are more than just a small handful reading these last few posts because we are about to say something that is very likely a 'first.'

This is not something I am personally responsible for and I have to say that in private emails someone who has commented here in the past was the first person I have ever encountered to have realized the possible relationship - and maybe he even made the actual discovery himself; it's entirely possible.

I know one or two advanced mathematicians who have endeavored to explain to me recently, something about 'how space unfolds,' and apart from observing a particular 'elegance' in the arguments they are making, I am not sufficiently possessed of the maths nomenclature in the usual short-hand descriptions of what is being said to be able to do much more than nod my head whenever something seems to sound as though it might be correct.

But let's get to the point:

Something like the Calabi-Yau Manifold is let's say 'merely a structure' that, whilst Mankind might have had knowledge of the sort of thing it is - you know, like turning an anulus inside out (and this itself is not 'new' to the mind of Man) - but to twist the 3-D chord of the structure, and THEN turn it inside out, AND THEN to actually focus with the scientific mind on the discrete mathematics description of the dynamic, the mathematical focus on it is new. 

And there are very massive significant consequences when Man focuses on something in this detailed kind of way - for example - (and this is the bit that was conveyed to me in the private email) this possible behavior of shape dynamics could be a starting point for the eventual explanation of the issue that has been an open question to physicists for a long while regarding whether light beams are specifically 'beams' (as in 'pulses' of photons) or waves.

One of the really new areas of commercial science is in something called 'spin dichroism' of electrons, which was pioneered by Thomas Prevenslik, a theoretical scientist who disappeared off the map for a while following speculation he had been given a huge grant and told to go into hiding. Spin dichroism itself is not a fully-understood phenomenon and it has characteristics that match almost exactly what could be happening if electrons in fact, are always moving somewhat like a Calabi-Yau Manifold structure... If this is true it is not something we have known before. 

But the fact is, the very fact of a new observed structure - consciously observed - means we can use it. We can use its characteristics as a tool because we have never had that structure available to our conscious work and conscious thinking before.

There is no possible way the CERN project would have as much impact on any scientific move forward as the 'conscious understanding or observation of a new type of structure, a new shape - or let's just say a new mathematical shape.

We use mathematical shapes as tools. 

We have been saying some rather profound things here!

There is this tendency for the mass of the public to go to some exaggerated extreme end of any sine curve and quickly leap to the conclusion this is where the importance lies - for example, it might be that 'the Universe' is not something that ever happened with a 'Big Bang' and is ever-expanding, but is in fact one single Calabi-Yau Manifold structure in motion and with energy, but which 'simply' twists itself along the apparent 'expanding' part of its path, and then turns inside out and then returns to point mass, or what looked like point mass according to the previous 'best theory of the Universe and Everything.'  

It might be, but so what even if it is?

What's much more important to you, let me tell you, is that every molecule of scent that is 'understood' in your brain because of the data transferred via molecular spin dichroism on account that electrons are in constant dynamic Calabi-Yau Manilfold motion.

Why is that important?

Because your computer will one day be able to send ANY scent down a small ionic digital device by manipulating the spin dichroism of the ions - WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL CHEMICAL STOCKPILES BEING REQUIRED TO BE LOADED INTO SOME CUMBERSOME STUPID 'INK-WELL' ATTACHMENT.

Now this kind of idea - when it becomes practical, well, what's such a thing worth, a hundred billion, more?

Neither you nor I have the laboratory facilities nor the competitive capital which would allow us to be the actual producers of such a device, having committed much into the research and development.

But the beauty of being a racing handicapper, rather than an owner or trainer - is that you can take your measly fifty bucks and make a godzillion because you put your money on the right horse went it was presented in the mounting yard.

...While everybody else was sitting back twiddling their thumbs going 'what the hell are these guys talking about?!' 

Shing-Tung Yau

We are indebted to one of our friends here - 'JP' - who posted a comment to an earlier article in which he managed to include the following words in just a few brief sentences:

'Calabi-Yau Manifold.'

'MacGuffin'

'Mirror Symmetry'

...and 'Personal Individuality.'

It is with quite some sense of humour that I noted the same day I read his comments, another article in the Parisian Gentleman in which a bespoke boot-maker says 'such-and-such (a thing) is the cause of polemic argument.'

I am still here, at simple Euler characteristic forms...!
Turning things inside out - in motion - from within, is, I think,
broadly speaking, a way to understand 'Calabi-Yau.'

I am sure you can find people around the place who would be prepared to argue about any or all of the above all day long - and using polemics ('polemics' -  a strong verbal or written attack on someone or something; a controversial debate or dispute) to do it.

But we cannot allow ourselves to fall into that practice here. 

What a wonderful idea - both in its visualization based on practical mathematics, and in the structural characterization entailed - that the 'Calabi-Yau Manifold' is.

I am of course, interested to know if there is a way of talking about 'personal individuality' using manifold space... This would certainly be a new way of thinking about human psychology, but not necessarily illogical or invalid at all. Even if one were a 'depth psychology' practitioner, or a Jungian or the like.

Because after all, there has long been a tradition among classicists, that whatever is aesthetically pleasing, is likely to be 'true.' ...In some fundamental way.

Mr. 'Yau,' the second part of the eponymous geometrical idea we have noted here, wrote a book called 'Lectures on Harmonic Maps.'

This could be the famous mathematician Yau Sing-Tung,
or else it's Mr Chen from the back cover of my Tai Chi book

 
I might almost say, at this point: 'I rest my case.' Because there is nothing truer in business and finance and economics and everything, than that there are special relationships between all things that have harmonic equivalences.

And these 'special relationships' are the 'izme-azm' (the magical words, the 'gold') of making things happen that give you money. The opaque nature of humanity in its mass social forms, is the reason it seems difficult to move money from the broad public into your bitcoin vault - there is no obvious 'harmony of altruistic or even rational economic value-based social cause' obtaining in people in their daily routines;' they are, as I suggested, asleep or vegetative. 

They are vegetative because they are fed on fertilizer and thrive on it and 'move' in ways determined by the fertilizer until eventually, they also become fertilizer themselves.

Or they are asleep because their senses are muted to such an extent that even danger or wealth passes under their noses and they barely mutter a sound.
