The Celestial Essence

Psychology concerns itself with the study of the discrepancy between the objective reality and our subjective perception upon it. This means that psychology can be understood to be a referral to two distinct and different domains of human philosophy. We have a real psychology which concerns itself with the Platonic realism and the supranatural and metaphysical laws for being and potential. Then we have a psychology dealing with the substantial and material. Here the field of psychology occupies itself with the psyches reaction upon the sensual stimuli in the world and how we act upon the world.

Since our focus is so much on the material world it is difficult for modern man to envision the disembodied soul and it is almost by proxy we assume the corporeality as a necessity for the soul. This leads further to the importance of personal identity that is a construct molded in the world of manifestation. Our immutable and eternal essence as it descends into the world of manifestation rushes from the halls of ideas veiled in stardust is touched by many suns and angels on its journey manifesting a divine possibility.

We awake to the sensual world and the soul attaches itself to the world of matter through the sensual perception of the world. In this way a particular substance is generated that present itself as your selfhood, who you are: but in truth this is merely an image and a reflection of the limitless possibility in our essential divine origin we manifest on earth.

Life in the world of matter presents itself in a didactic and binary fashion for us and the appearance is often taken to be truth perfected. The substantial self act and react upon the impulses in the world of matter, the essential self is the celestial axis of being and herein is found our true self or perfected self. Our substantial self engage itself immediately upon becoming manifest with generating a personality, an identity. Our identity is a tool for orienting us around in the world and as such we can by this identification of who we are be agile or vulgar in our treatment of the world and reap blessings or complications.

Another consequence of realizing that our personality being an effective construct, a temporary manifestation of our essential and eternal self is concerning the way we bond with other manifestations in the world, it be plant, beast or man. Realizing that we are not our identity, but rather that this is an efficient mask and image useful for effective traversing the world of matter a friendliness towards change easily occurs and antagonism towards our person will not run very deep. The realization that our home is in the ideal spheres, the celestial abodes of the Perfect Mind will generate a joy of being, a fascination with the sensual world where we can experience the divine and God everywhere and thus realize the great discrepancy between our essential self and our substantial self. We will realize that our true and beautiful essence and our practical and pragmatic manifestation of a set of traits we act upon the world with can aid us to grasp our happy fate and become masters of our destiny.

To Bind or Not to Bind

“amen dico vobis quaecumque alligaveritis super terram erunt ligata et in caelo et quaecumque solveritis super terram erunt soluta et in caelo.”

Matthew 18:18

The Good Book uses the Latin “ligare” when it speaks of bonds in Matthew 18:18. The same as we find in the word religion or re-ligare, to reunite a bond. To reunite something would indicate that the bond is something that once was in existence and re-ligare can not refer to anything else than a rekindling of what once was and not a new relationship that has ever been. When our ancestors in spirit, such as Giordano Bruno speaks of ligare in terms of manifestation across the golden chain of being he discusses the idea of vinculum. Vinculum also means bond, but in a slightly different way than ligare. A vinculum refers to the limits of a specific passage or grouping. A vinculum is a specific avenue that binds what is desired by using the theory of correspondence.  Ligare is the general bonding, while vinculum refers to the specific route and goal for the binding.

When Our Lord spoke to his followers who had been vested with certain powers he repeated the gift of bonding twice in the Gospel of Matthew, both in the 16 and 18^th Chapter. In the 18^th Chapter we read in the KJV the following translation: “Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven”.

The greatest bonding agent is Eros and Love, here we find the cosmic amalgam, the blood of divinity itself. Eros unveils himself in sympathy and attraction, antipathy and repulsion. A binding must consequently follow the celestial rules of attraction where a specific grouping of objects and states with a specific celestial commonality are utilized to obtain our end. To bind a spiritual influence to a talisman, to bind or wish in the knots of the ladder or to bind a spirit to work by contract are some forms where specific vinculums are used to accomplish and fulfill our wish. The vinculum is possible because we are all already connected or bound to God through our “ligare”. Divinity is our ligament so to speak that makes possible to reconnect with source. This reconnection with source is important for the effectiveness of the vinculums we forge on earth.

One binding is however complicated, and this is to bind someone’s love, binding spells as they are popularly called. This is complicated because the very ligament of divinity in the person who is targeted is bound to carnal and material desires – and quite often obsessions. The demonic shows itself it obsessions and compulsive emotions and as such it is often a Demonic impulse that motivates people to either do or ask to have done a binding spell so they can own and possess the life, heart and body of another human being. This is quite simply a form of ruthless selfishness, a rotten form of hubris that makes the person who asks such work to be done blind for its own shortcomings and desire to force powers that repel each other to stick together no matter what the natural vinculum tells.

The one driven by higher impulses, celestial ones will work on a higher level, with fumes and words, poetry and harmony and seek to make oneself manifesting superior qualities and odors rather than drag all into matter and force an unnatural bond to take place upon earth. What takes place in such instances is like shaking water and oil together. It will stay together for some time, but slowly it will drift apart. It is an unnatural liaison that is subject for a temporarily bonding. And such is love amongst humans, some bonds of love between men are meant to last for minutes, others for days, yet others for years and some few for incarnations upon incarnations because the two are completed in sharing of oneness.
