But they sound like perhaps, malefic planetary influences. There are all kinds.

There are some like large system level generals. They do not fuck around. Some say the space wars make what's happening on Earth seem insignificant.

The one seeming planetary general that addressed me though, was on about me, I gathered anyway. I still have not shared what he said to me but with a family member. I guess I should, searching for interpretation, but the thing was doomy.

edit - sorry, the within did still not give an affirmation to share it... the words are plain but mysterious, not random but given with direct and frightening authority.

I've turned the mind a lot in trying discern it. I don't feel without countermeasure, but also karma is a bitch.

Perhaps he is referring to the notion which I've heard implications of in more than one place, not to be reborn here a next time around. Tech is hosing, supposedly, future ability to connect and liberate. There are contradictions though. Tech can't thwart grace, nothing in the universe can - the opposing view.

On the other hand, it's said we are sinking into the depths of the larger Kali yuga. Ahriman and shit gets to play.

I take it as a larger trend, if entertaining it, not binding individuals bent.

syncro said:
I was going to comment more about the Egregori. I thought I had saved more of what was written. This I posted a while back referring to (anthropomorphisms of) them.

not much said
-Some of the "authorities" I visualized as angelic, large beings, hanging out at the pentagon and stuff. It's like this is the way it is, instruments of time.-

Sometimes I would see forms of angels, and that I recall in most, except one, I did not perceive high intent, but they were large placeholders perhaps, of various bindings on the world. As instruments of karma, maybe can't call them bad, but law.

I wrote before about an angelic form I perceived, can't find it, but it was on top of a middle school; he postured, spreading his wingspan some 30 ft. I did not trust his vibe. I could be wrong, but I thought of him as possibly that type.

One that impacts memory, from long ago in a difficult time, I was having suicidal thoughts, not close to deed but feeling bad enough, and at a climax of sorts within appeared an angel holding a spear. In my state I thought he was there to kill me for my thoughts. He did not acknowledge me but stood there as if in duty. I finally said, go ahead, and brought the head of the spear to my neck, and he remained still. I conjectured later that he was guarding me.

Still with my several examples, I'm not quite connecting on who these are described,
Quote:
from Eliphas Levi who called them "terrible beings" that "crush us without pity because they are unaware of our existence.".



Perhaps a particular association for me is not necessary; there are influences beyond imagination. I guess my point is to emphasize there are powers not like that but beneficent and available.



I would say some of them are like Guardians, like Gargoyles, or a Badge. Like the Roman Aquila, the Roman Aquila was a Symbol of the Power or Might of Rome, and it would be represented by a Standardbearer with a kind of like Pinned on Badge, and if it was lost the Romans were known to Spend up to like 30 Years one Time Searching for one that had been Lost.

And I would say there is a kind of Counter Force, like a Yin and Yang going on, between the Aquila and the Phoenix. The Aquila being a Representation of or Represented by Lightning, and the Phoenix being a Representation of or Represented by Fire. And I would say we can actually see an Egregore in the Phoenix, and kind of Recurring Entity. In the Phaiakians, in the Pre-Flood Civilization, in the later Phoenicians, and People might say “Phoenicians and the Phoenix having a similar name is Coincidence regarding the Color Purple”, but actually the Phoenicians were named after King Phoenix, Son of Agenor, and Agenor and Phoenix United Libya and Canaan, the Phoenicians, and they are the said Forefathers of the Phoenicians, and King Phoenix IS THE GREEK PHOENIX. So what the Greeks were saying was that this Society that existed between Canaan and Libya was recurring, that it would be Burned to Ashes and Continuously return. The Greeks are Witnesses.

But I say that to say that the Phoenix Bird and the Aquila are Egregori, and are something like a Badge, a kind of Order in the Chaos. And to the Point of Chaos, Egregori in Modern Times are very Common in Chaos Magic. Pepe the Frog is an Egregore, the Cult of Kek is like an Online Chaos Cult.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magic
https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/what-kek-explaining-alt-right-deity-behind-their-meme-magic/
https://www.reddit.com/r/chaosmagick/comments/1f4ju0g/thoughtforms_egregores_and_godforms/

But it is not just Chaos Magic, they are the Angels and the Demons of the Bible, they are the Gods of Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc. the “Elohim”. The Word “Elohim” shows up in the Genesis Verse, “Let us make them in OUR image”, but then also Deuteronomy I think it is.

Deuteronomy 5:6 “I am Yahweh your Elohim, who brought you out of slavery in Egypt.”

And God also calls the Egyptian Gods “Elohim”. In Exodus 12:12.

But the Word Egregore actually appears in Enoch, as Grigori, the Watchers. Enoch sees them as he is passing through the different layers of Heaven.

2 Enoch 18 |About the taking of Enoch to the fifth heaven.|

And those men took me up on their wings and placed me on the fifth heaven. And I saw there many innumerable armies called Grigori. And their appearance was like the appearance of a human being, and their size was larger than that of large giants. •And their faces were dejected, and the silence of their mouths was perpetual. And there was no liturgy in the fifth heaven. 〈|And I said to the men who were with me, “What is the explanation that these ones are so very dejected, and their faces miserable, and their mouths silent? And (why) is there no liturgy in this heaven?”|〉 •And those men answered me, “These are the Grigori, who turned aside from the LORD, 200 myriads, together with their prince Satanail. And similar to them are those who went down as prisoners in their train, who are in the second heaven, imprisoned in great darkness.
And three of them descended to the earth from the LORD’s Throne onto the place Ermon. And they broke the promise on the shoulder of Mount Ermon. And they saw the daughters of men, how beautiful they were; and they took wives for themselves, and the earth was defiled by their deeds.
Who 〈and the wives of men created great evil〉 in the entire time of this age acted lawlessly and practiced miscegenation and gave birth to giants and great monsters and great enmity.
And that is why God has judged them with a great judgment; and they mourn their brothers, and they will be outrages on the great day of the LORD.” •And I said to the Grigori, “I have seen your brothers and their deeds and their torments 〈and〉 their great 〈prayers〉; and I have prayed for them. But the LORD has sentenced them under the earth until heaven and earth are ended forever.” •And I said, “Why are you waiting for your brothers? And why don’t you perform the liturgy before the face of the LORD? Start up your liturgy, and perform the liturgy before the face of the LORD, so that you do not enrage your LORD 〈God〉 to the limit.”

And they responded to          my recommendations, and they stood in four regiments in this heaven. And behold, while I was standing with those men, 4 trumpets trumpeted in unison with a great sound, and the Grigori burst into singing in unison. And their voice rose in front of the face of the LORD, piteously and touchingly.


And as far as Angels go, there are actually various Words. The Word itself means “King” or “Messenger of a King”, God himself being called “Lord” so basically like a King, Kings also being called “Lord”. But there are Seraphim, and Cherubim, and then Grigori is one of those, and we can Start to kind of use some of these Words interchangeably in Modern Day. Basically how in Islam all Angels and Demons are the Race called Djinn, but Djinn usually is used to Refer to Demons. It all becomes just Words once You realize these Things are all Real, it doesn’t Really matter what exactly we call them, just as long as we ARE able to Talk about them by using whatever Term we can begin to understand them with.

And Egregore is a Good Term because it Translates in German to “Poltergeist” and we can Start to understand these Things better that way, because we can then look at the Term “Zeitgeist” and the Movie called “Zeitgeist” actually got the whole Thing Wrong. The Zeitgeist is not about like Jesus being some Forgery, copied from Egyptian Gods and Mithras, the Zeitgiest is the fact that all Religions and all of these Entities are 1 Thing, the “Zeitgiest” being a Word also that kind of means like “Global Paradigm”. And when we look at this we can see how the World begins to unfold before us as we begin to understand all of this.

“Oracle” is another Word that can be used to understand this, most People think an Oracle is like 1 Person who has the Ability of Divination, the Ability to kind of See into the Future or something, the way most People think the “Oracle of Delphi” was like a Place where a bunch of Female “Oracles”, but that is not how it Worked. The “Oracle” had Human Parts (the Females) and it had Invisible Parts (Gods and Titans, etc). And the Oracle Ruled over Greece. Greece had Democracy, but overall it was Ruled by an Egalitarian Mystical Dictatorship basically, called The “Oracle of Delphi” or The “Oracle at Delphi”. If a Greek City-State wanted to go to War, or do anything Really, they would consult the Oracle.
https://www.theoi.com/Titan/TitanisPhoibe.html

And even after Rome came into being, they would consult the Sibylline Utterances:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibylline_Oracles
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibylline_Books

I say all this to say that an Oracle is an Entity made up of Humans and Egregori, Working together. And that the Phoenix is an Egregore, or something even Larger.

I agree, to an Extent, as I mentioned. But it also does Exist in some way or else how could something have access to the Future?

But You are Right that there is no Fabric of Time to Travel Forward or Backward in, as I’ve mentioned our Timeline Runs in a Spiral, like a Flushing Toilet. And You can’t go Forward and Backward, but it seems that something can move Up and Down through Time. Or, simply does and has and will Exist at all Times Perpendicular to our Time.

Like a Straight Up and Down Sharpie Line on a Cone that is a Flushing Toilet.

Do exist and not exist, exist?

I think time is like most things, it's a matter of perspective.

Time and space meant nothing 'before' the big bang, likewise they mean nothing 'inside' a black hole.

If the big bang was us at one point in time, and time and space meant nothing 'then', did we 'really leave'?

Still, I wake up when the birds do, and pee when my bladders full.  And my musings about time and space don't change these patterns.

Change is something we talk about and experience.  Time and space are two concepts we use to communicate our experiences and observations.

But maybe all experiences and observations (forms) are none other than emptiness.  At least, that seems to be Avalokiteśvara's view :shrug:

The great mantra referred to, Om Mani Padme Hum, I assume. This is a Thich Nhat Hanh translation I found, last verse:

Quote:
Therefore Sariputra,
it should be known that
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
is a Great Mantra,
the most illuminating mantra,
the highest mantra,
a mantra beyond compare,
the True Wisdom that has the power
to put an end to all kinds of suffering.
Therefore let us proclaim
a mantra to praise
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore.

Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!
Gate, Gate, Paragate, Parasamgate, Bodhi Svaha!



No room left for concern about time, except when we forget. But cultivation is feedback, support built under forgetfulness, where means, the fruition, are not far.

Or maybe I'm mistaken and the reference is to the Gate Gate mantra? Either way; many taraka, liberating mantras.

Yeah his commentary is great too.  Most of what I was trying to point out is the need to go beyond the idea of exist and not exist.  Because it's easy to get lost in narratives and debate, as the sentence itself implies time and space (exist is a word dependent on spacetime).

The snake sutra is a good one for that.  Again, I like Thich Nhat Hanh's translation and commentaries.

I just wanted a video before so grabbed the translation I posted above.

It's the heart sutra.  But yeah, that's Thich Nhat Hanh's translation.  We tend to translate emptiness and void as 'nothing or empty space' in English conceptualization.

But it's more like Indra's Net or interdependence.  Or waves arising from and crashing into the ocean (form is waves, emptiness is ocean).  No ocean no waves, but no waves, no ocean too (form is emptiness, emptiness is form).

Zen Keys is another good one.  Took many years of meditation and finally an Ayahuasca trip to grok the interdependence of consciousness and form.  And a bit longer for fruition.

Stumbling around with no formal teacher, an anapanasati practice, and bisporus.  Finally let go of the last sense door.

What I'm not sure about is where said

"the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore
is a Great Mantra,"

then

"Therefore let us proclaim
a mantra to praise
the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore.

Gate, Gate..."

Since it's Avalokiteśvara, I assumed the first quote refers to Om Mani Padme Hum, and the Gate Gate mantra is in praise. Or as I think you might have meant, the first mantra referred to is the Sutra itself, or it's Gate Gate. :nerd:

So at minimum the concept of time exists as a category in the mind.

At maximum it is real in the laws of physics and has its own case for being a true and independent and codependant dimension!

According to Science I have Read that say the "Physical Reality" does not even Exist.
https://www.science.org/content/article/reality-doesn-t-exist-until-you-measure-it-quantum-parlor-trick-confirms
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a40460495/objective-reality-may-not-exist/

That is kind of saying that what we Experience is actually like Electrons flying around like in an Orbit around Atoms, and what we are Experiencing like a kind of Illusion of Reality because we can't even Perceive it Properly because we are Meat Sacks Living in that.

But You are Right, Time supposedly didn't Exist before the Big Bang, and means nothing in a Black Hole, so what is it that we are Experiencing between those 2 Things, maybe something, maybe nothing.

We will Probably Learn more about this as we Leave the Milky Way Galaxy and begin to actually Study the Mechanics of Other Galaxies that aren't Moving in the Shape of a Spiral, that is where I think we will Start to Figure a lot of this out, because Right now we only Experience that Spiral.

https://www.termatree.com/blogs/termatree/kalachakra?srsltid=AfmBOorKId3o8Lt8ROeRjUyV14eiSgSOh7Xib49ohmObbih55kara_Cd

Kalachakra Meditation is something to Consider.

It is where You think about like the Passing of Seconds, "Tick-Tock", You can look at a Watch.

Then You Watch a Minute Pass.

Then You consider an Hour, maybe Watch an Hour Pass.

Then a Day. Think about the Earth Spinning on it's Axis.

Then a Week. Focus on each of these for a while before moving to the next one.

Then a Month.

Then a Year. Think about the Earth going around the Sun.

Then think about the Ages, the way the Sun moves around the Milky Way.

Then the way the Milky Way Moves.

Then think outside of that.

Keep going.

What is that "Time"?

That is Kalachakra. That "Time". Not something we can Measure at Present in our Day here in 2025, it is beyond our Ability to Measure.

The more that kind of thought the better I think, in a sense the nature of the fruit of the mantra, same as oneness with the Father, etc., notwithstanding challenges to balance, and there's always challenges to balance, so why not? Or, if there are challenges to balance, might ask why consider myself the Bodhisattva or Father? Self-doubt is part of the negative meaning of ego which ain't good either. Humility is appropriate at times though, seeing what we carry in limitation.

No self, no other.

It's true.  It's a good thing to consider.  Avolikita has many arms.  The work of compassionate action takes many hands.

Ego inflation and deflation are something to be mindful of all the same.

I believe I took my vows to practice at kwan yins feet in another lifetime.  That I have memories of the bardo.

And that I have many miles on the path ahead of me all the same.  But fewer than I would have if I had not practiced before.

References to time and space, and memories outside them.  I like it this way, lends some poetry to my life.

Reading Snake Sutra -

"The Tathagata is a noble fount of freshness and coolness."

Before seeing that Tathagata may refer to the person of the Buddha I guess more than a state, I thought it was a rare positive description of the nirvanic, that this is 'something' to it rather than it is empty of xyz.

Concerning the raft, that we should know when to discard it, when no longer needed, yet the Bodhisattva keeps the vehicles eternally. What a wonderful problem.

The visual is so strong in practice; once or a few times in meditation the visual cortex seemed to have completely turn off, a deep return of energy and rest.

Also, the life force in the sublimities say, seem to merge the sense, as if it becomes another body of one sense, just mind-light or clear light. Can I has that one?

There is no 'I' having it. Okay, is there wakefulness? Just my forever argument with anatta and atman.
