Updates to My Metaphor
I had said I was going to work on updating My Metaphor with what I had learned (so far) from contemplating The Cube. It is still a work in progress, because as I updated it with things I learned, I realized there were parts that now didn't make as much sense as they used to. I also noticed on some Magic Monday questions that apparently JMG provides more explanations in the Golden Section Fellowship curriculum that could potential clarify things for me. I plan on working through that curriculum in the future, but need to finish another curriculum first. So here is My Metaphor as of now: My Metaphor 3rd ed.
As I was working on this, I reread some Cosmic Doctrine and had some ideas for another way of organizing my hexagram-Tree:
Starting with Ain, then to the first duality: Movement and Space. Movement and Space create Ring Cosmos (Ain Soph), which creates Ring Chaos (Soph), which results in the Ring Pass Not. The system of Rings is The Absolute.
When Ring Pass Not completes its first full revolution, the Cosmos is in being.
And, once the Ring system is complete, Ring Cosmos pulls to the Center, creating Kether and Ain Soph Aur. Then the Rays form (Chokmah), then the Circles (Planes) form (Binah). Pairs of Rays intersect, creating Tangentials. The Tangentials create Vortices. The Vortices create Prime Atoms. The system of Rays and Circles is The Cosmos.
The Prime Atoms travel the Rays; when a Prime Atom completes the circuit of Rays, it can become a Great Entity. The Great Entity of our Solar System is The Logos.
Atoms that are less complicated than Prime Atoms are Cosmic Atoms. (Fortune describes them as 'brethren'.) Cosmic Atoms move, creating Tracks in Space. Those Tracks in Space are Divine Sparks (Spirit). The Great Entity projects organization (Chesed) and relationship (Geburah?) onto the Cosmic Atoms, creating Planetary Spirits.
I am not satisfied with the hexagram I created for the Lords of Flame, Form, and Mind. Perhaps a square would be more appropriate, but I will ponder that more after I start working with the Golden Section Fellowship curriculum.
Next I shall ponder Herakles...
