Kykeon, from the Greek “to stir, to mix,” was a psychoactive beverage of different plant varieties used in medicinal and spiritual rituals.

Kykeon is most famous for its use in the Rites of Demeter at the city of Eleusis in ancient Greece, where it was consumed ceremonially to experience the mystery of death and rebirth. Kykeon was believed to be a secret potion able to initiate psychic changes in a chosen few. The Eleusinian Mysteries were celebrated every fall in the sanctuary of the cult of Demeter and Persephone. The celebration was to commemorate Persephone’s return from Hades, the renewal of life, and the rebirth of nature.

While we may never know which, if any, hallucinogenic ingredients kykeon contained, we can be fairly certain that it held incredible importance for those ancient Greeks looking to feel closer to their gods, and to better comprehend the mysteries of life and death.

Greek Mythology

Sea Monster Skylla or Scylla

Created from Phorcy's & Keto. Seems no one could get her right. Was she a giant crab or was she a monster with many heads. Well most often depicted with a female upper body but with many arms. We hear about. her again as Odysseus has his problems with this sea monster.

The deep critical thinker has become the misfit of the world, this is not a coincidence. To maintain order and control you must isolate the intellectual, the sage, the philosopher, the savant before their ideas awaken people.

“There’s a resonance inside us, a sense of who we are. We’re a multi-bodied traveler. We’re an essence. We’re a feeling, an awareness that has an ancient existence.” — Frederick Lenz

In the poetry of Ramprasad, Kali comes through as the Lover and the Beloved, the Creatrix that is beyond good and evil, and as close to the Unmanifest in her pregnant nothingness as we allow her to be:

Enchantress of hearts Fresh as a lotus Her movements are those of a swan…

At once form and formless, Kali is the letter K, Foundation of all that is.

She is pleasure and liberation, Supreme abode and the one and only Name, Beyond that what else is there?

In the heart where Kali watches Run the waters of the Ganges And when the hour comes That heart which has become Eternal Laughs at death!

Kali as the Divine Mother does not fit into a cult of positivity or wishful thinking. Kali is real. Kali is dark as the earth itself, into w

Keys To The Universe

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” & “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe” --Nikola Tesla

“Number 9 is that which underpins The Creation and reveals the Symmetry. By observing that these single digits of the Doubling Sequence repeat every 6 digits: 1-2-4-8-7-5 we plug this into the 9-Point Circle and reveal a Pattern that mirror-images itSelf. The numbers that are missing in this Binary Code of 1-2-4-8-7-5 are 3-6-9 which is another universe.” --Excerpt from Jain 108 interview.

HARMONIC 369 Explained

1 + 2 + 3 = 6

4 + 5 + 6 = 15 = 1+5 = 6 7 + 8 + 9 = 24 = 2+4 = 6

10 + 11 + 12 = 33 = 3+3 = 6

13 + 14 + 15 = 42 = 4+2 = 6 16 + 17 + 18 = 51 = 5+1 = 6

The Energy in 3-6-9 appears in many mysterious places, yet it is here visible in-front of our Eyes!

When we examine the symbolism of Harmonic 3-6-9 as the composition of 3, of 6 and of 9 as single digits with unique meanings,

we see the “3” is the Trinity of the consecutive or natural counting numbers, as in 1+2+3. We are counting by Sets of 3. “6” is the Factoring Number for the Sigma or Sum of these Trinity Numbers ie: all sums are divisible by 6. Also, “6” is the Digital Root or Digital Compression of all this Sums eg 24 = 2 + 4 = 6

“9 is the Difference between each Trinity eg the difference between the first 6 Trinities of 6 - 15 - 24 - 33 - 42 - 51 etc is 9 --Jain 108

Use the light that is in you to recover your natural clearness of sight. –Lao Tzu

“I have no pen to describe the Heavenly Kingdom; neither can I express it, for the earthly tongue is much too insufficient to do it. We will defer it until we come into the bosom of the Maiden.” --Jakob Böhme (1575-1624) ‘The Teutonic Theosopher’

The Feminine Mystery

In Tantra the woman is sacred. “For some she came in a dream.

For others in words as clear as a bell: it is time, I am here.

She may come in a whisper so loud she can deafen you or a shout so quiet you strain to hear.

She may appear in the waves or the face of the moon, in a red goddess or a crow.” --Lucy H. Pearce, Burning Woman
