ETERNAL STATES by Neville Goddard 9/9/ 68
Sit quietly and ask yourself who you are, where you are and what you are. Your answers will reveal your state of consciousness: your body of belief. Paul said, “We do not look to the outer things, but to the things unseen, for the outer things are transient, but the unseen things are eternal.” Your beliefs, seen by the mystic, are personified. They form a state, which completely controls your behaviour. Any modification within your body of belief will result in a change in your outer world.

Blake tells us, “Eternity exists and all things in eternity independent of creation which was an act of mercy. By this you will see that I do not consider either the just or the wicked to be in a supreme state, but to be everyone of them states of the sleep which the soul may fall into in its deadly dreams of good and evil when it leaves paradise following the serpent.”

Now, Blake uses the word “mercy” only as one who sees that states are eternal; that in God’s mercy he created all things, not just a few, so that any situation which can be conceived, already exists in eternity. When Blake said, “Eternity exists and all things in eternity independent of creation which was an act of mercy,” he meant that everything you see is dead, a part of the eternal structure of the universe. You are its operant power. When you enter a scene it becomes animated. Then you become lost in your own animation and think it is independent of your perception. Looking at it, you cannot believe you are causing the animation, but you are.

You and I are living souls, buried in a world of death. We are destined to be life-giving spirits through an act of mercy, but until that time we animate what we perceive. Questioning self, Blake asks: “O miserable man that I am, who will deliver me from this body of death?” May I tell you, no earthly power can do it, only God.

Peter tells us, “Blessed be the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. By his great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” This is true, for only by God’s act of great mercy can we be born anew. Now buried in a world of eternal death, you are animating dead forms, believing they are independent of your perception of them. This you will continue to do until God’s great mercy awakens Jesus Christ within you. If Christ was not buried in you, he could not awaken in you, and if he is not in you he could not emerge from you. Therefore, like Paul, you carry in your body the death of Jesus. It is the tomb in which he is buried. His awakening delivers you from a body of death, but until that time you must live in, and adjust to, the dead body you wear.

Now, until you are born from above, you operate the power which gives life to this world. For the world is a dream filled with dead scenery, while you are Proteus. As you enter the scene you cause the parts to be made alive. Not knowing this, you think there are others, and fight the shadows of your own being.

All things exist in the human imagination, and all phenomena are solely produced by imagining. Where there is no imagining, everything vanishes. If lack is now in your world, and you cease to be aware of it by imagining plenty, lack disappears; therefore, any modification in your body of belief will cause a change in your life.

Now embedded in death, we resurrect into life by the act of mercy. Scripture calls this transformation Jesus Christ, for it is he who is buried in us; and when he awakens and rises, we are born from above, thereby setting us free from this body of death. Until that moment in time you can enter a state, partake of it and move on to another. This is how it is done. Although I am living here in Los Angeles, I desire to be in New York City. While lying on my bed tonight, I close my physical eyes to the room surrounding me and assume I am in New York City. Then I ask myself these questions: lf I were now in New York City, what would I see? Would I think of Los Angeles as three thousand miles to the west of me? Where are my friends and loved ones? How are my finances now that I am here? Then I would answer these questions carefully and fall asleep in New York City.

Now, an assumption is an act of faith, and without faith it is impossible to please God. “By faith we understand that the world was created by the word of God, so that things seen were made out of things that do not appear.” Someone looking at my physical body would see me sleeping in Los Angeles, yet I would be sleeping in New York City, for I am all imagination and must be where I am imagining myself to be. By this action I am adjusting myself imaginatively to a state I desire to objectively realise. And if I have imagined with conviction, by giving New York City all of the sensory vividness of reality, things will immediately begin to happen to compel me to make the journey. I do not imagine lightly anymore, because I now know every imaginal act will come to pass.

When I first stumbled upon this principle, I thought it was stupid. The idea that imagining creates reality was nonsense. How could anyone believe a thing into being without any external evidence to support it? How could any imaginal act be the causative fact, which fuses and projects itself? Although I did not believe it could, I imagined, and got that which I did not want! So I acquaint you now with what I know about this principle of imagining and lead you to your choice and its risk. There is always a risk, for you may not want what you have imagined after you get it, so I warn you to select wisely.

Do you know what you want from life? You can be anything you want to be if you know who you are. Start from the premise, “I am all imagination and pass through states,” for eternity (all things) exist now! Having experienced a state and moved into another one you may think the former state has ceased to be, but all states are eternal, they remain forever. Like the mental traveler that you are, you pass through states either wittingly or unwittingly, but your individual identity is forever. Whether you are rich or poor, you retain the same individual identity when you move from one state into another. If you are not on guard, you can be persuaded by the press, television, or radio, to change your concept of self and unwittingly move into an undesirable state. You can move into many states and play many parts, but as the actor, you do not change your identity. When you are rich, you are the same actor as when you are poor. These are only different parts you are playing.

You annexed your physical body for the experiences you are now having, but you are not the body you wear. The day will come when you will awaken to this fact. Then, like Proteus, you will assume any shape for the part you want to play. If it takes a fish, you will be a fish. If it takes a man, you will be a man, for that is who God is. Learn to adjust your senses to what you desire to be. Just as I moved to New York City, you can move into the state of wealth, fame, or any state you desire. Determine what it would feel like, and adjust your thinking by assuming you are feeling it now.

Look at your world mentally. Your present level of objective fact may be the same as it was before, but in your imagination hear your friends congratulate you on your good fortune. Then believe in the reality of this unseen experience. Like Paul, look not to things seen, but to things unseen; for the things seen are temporal, while the things unseen are eternal. Two hundred years ago Blake made the statement, “Eternity exists and all things in eternity, independent of creation which was an act of mercy.” Three thousand years ago the unknown writer of Ecclesiastes said it even more beautifully: “There is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing for which it is said, ‘This is new?’ It has been already in ages past, but there is no remembrance of things to come after, among those who will come later.”

This past year one of our great physicists, Professor Richard Feynman of Cal Tech, said the same thing, yet not as beautifully as Blake or the unknown author of Ecclesiastes. This is what Professor Feynman said: “The entire space/time history of the world is laid out and we only become aware of increasing portions of it successively.” For this Professor Feynman received the Nobel Prize and maybe $50,000, while Blake, who saw it mystically and recorded it poetically, went to an unmarked pauper’s grave. Professor Feynman based his conclusion on his study of the disintegration of the atom. Noticing the peculiar behavior of a little positron when placed in fluid, he realised that the entire space/ time history of the world is already laid out, and man only becomes aware of portions of it successively.

I have seen the same thing in vision and know that the world is dead. I have entered a room such as this, to discover that I am the spirit animating it. By arresting the activity in me that caused the scene to become alive, everything froze. The waitress walked not. The birds flew not. The diners dined not. Then I knew that when I released its activity in me, everything and everyone would continue to complete their intention. Releasing my power, the waitress completed the serving, the bird flew to the limb of the tree, and the grass began to wave, as the leaf which was arrested in space fell to the ground. Now I know I am the center of creative power. The day will come when you, too will awaken and exercise your creative power, knowingly. That is our destiny, for we all will awaken as God and use this power to create in the true sense of the word.

Try to remember that there is no limit to God’s creative power, or your power of belief. Persuade yourself that things are as you desire them to be. Fall asleep in that assumption, as that is your act of faith. Tomorrow the world will begin to change, to make room for the garment of your assumption. If it takes one person or ten thousand to aid the birth of your assumption, they will come. You will not need their consent or permission, because the world is dead and what would be the purpose in asking dead people to help you? Simply know what you want, animate the scene and those playing their parts will begin to move towards the fulfillment of your desire.

Try it before you pass judgement upon it. I know it doesn’t make sense, but it will prove itself in performance and then it will not matter what the world thinks. If there is evidence for a thing, does it really matter what someone else thinks about it? I encourage you to try it, for if you do you will not fail.
Now let us go into the silence.

The Moon Thoth – Crowley Tarot | Thoth Tarot Deck

Instinct	Go down to the world below, the journey goes into the deep unconscious.
Purpose	The strange path goes into the depths of the soul, confronts the night, with fears, understand yourself most profoundly.
The Light	Devotion to intuitive knowledge.
The Shadow	Illusions, hysteria, complexities of abuse, hallucinations, fear, abuse of drugs, avoidance of reality.
Quality	The mirror of the soul or the bridge between the inner and the outer world.

I. Background of the Moon Thoth Tarot card

The mysterious Moon, the connection between the unconscious (the Star Thoth) and the conscious effort (the Sun) faces us as an axis between the inner and the outer world. Spiritually, it is a storyteller who expresses the visual world of the soul. In the third part below the card, we see the murky waters of the underworld. In the middle, there is a sacred beetle as a symbol of revival. Clamping between its claws is the sun leading it to dawn. Its light connects with the beginning of the half-conscious world because we see the circle of light extending into the middle of the card as the beginning of the path is pushing into consciousness between weird guardians and dark towers. The sun symbolizes not only the unconscious desire (between births) on the threshold to light but also the symbol of rebirth and reincarnation.

In the design of the Moon Thoth card, the background is very interesting. The lower part of the card has two sizes, the upper part has the space structure, we find the “bringing into relationship” of the inner to the outside world; and on the road that glides out of the inner light (below the threshold) into the outer light of tolerance, we see the inner desire on the path to consciousness (the Sun) which is depicted in this card.

II. Analyze and describe the Moon Thoth Tarot

1. Motif (gatekeepers)

a. Tower

The two towers stood in the upper part of the Moon Thoth card as representatives of both extremes that a soul must walk on the path between them to advance to consciousness. On the other hand, it is also the soul who is experiencing spiritual tightening. They are the personification of fear emerging from the subconscious, the fear clinging to what is supposed to be fixed values, and is the extraordinary symbol of the self hidden behind such values because of the fear of being swallowed by the inner nonsense.

b. Between the two towers

Fear that arises from the subconscious so, it must go through the middle of itself, and it must find the path to itself through two columns of its own mask. Psychologically, this corresponds to the need to overcome the fear. Mythically, it is a narrow passage between two monsters, Scylla and Charybdis (Odyssey), in which Scylla is a looter and Charybdis is a swallow. These narrow paths are reminiscent of the experience of birth: out of safety and warmness through the narrow passage into the shimmer of the cold world outside.

c. Guardians

The biggest obstacle on the way home is ourselves. The search for truth is blocked by their fear of this very fact. That explains why we do not want to seek the truth, but instead, we look for the concept of our own truth for the sake of what seems safe. If not for the fear of haunting us like a nightmare in the night and teaching us the meaning of fear, nothing will force us to leave that tower and enter a profound truth.

d. Anubis

Anubis is a jackal dog that has retrieved the torn parts by Seth and scattered them throughout all the corners of the world in the myth of Osiris. Then, it brought those parts to Isis, Osiris’s suffering wife, and she gave them a new life with the power of her love. He is considered to be the power of integration (gathering) and a helpful guide for souls to go through the afterlife. In this dual function, he is an appropriate symbol of the soul’s decisive step on the path to integrity: He guides us through the threshold of fear into the lands of the underworld that its deep bottom (midnight sun) hides the foundations we are missing becoming integrity. Dogs (actually white with red ears) are offered to Anubis, however, chase after sinful spirits. Mythically, they correspond to the image of Scylla, the robber.

2. Underground (night)

Looking inside or staring at the deep bottom, there is the feminine path to truth. So, the soul places itself in the close-up of the lower part of the Moon Thoth card. The secrets of the inner emotional spaces are symbolized here because as soon as the rays of the soul touch the earth, it gets caught in the matter. To return to the sun, it must be born again from the water of life.

a. Sun

Beneath the threshold, in the feminine realm, we see the sun symbolizing masculinity, going down to its own source. Just as the sun rises above the horizon in the morning, goes to the zenith at noon, and dives again into the horizon in the evening, people also come from the source of life when they are born, climb to the top of their external goals throughout their lives and then go down after they have gone through the highest peak of life to finally rest in Mother Earth

b. Beetle

In the water below, we see Khephra, the sacred beetle holding the sun between its two claws. It quietly rolled towards the dawn. So, the beetle becomes a symbol of the energy that is born from itself (male), pulling the sun out of the realm of the greatest darkness to the new morning. New light was born from the darkest hours.

c. EEG

The bottom part of the Moon Thoth card has a diagram that runs through as vibrations, denoted by lines in the hibernation period (the elevated roads are reminiscences of REM in the dream). Dreams of Creator are the sources of life in the abdomen of femininity.

3. Background (light)

a. The road (upward)

The path through the tower is the path to the integrity (or the self). We see this in the “booming” path from the sun and thus, it creates an extension of the middle peaks from a lower third part of the card. The vibrations indicated by the straight lines of the diagram below (behind the sun) finding a shape in the rapid development of the road, a fascinating path by entering into space.

In ancient esoteric customs, we read that sacred illumination – when it comes – is like a stream of lightning, destroying all illusions in a single light, as well as the enlightenment of Buddha and Prophet Mohammed, St. Paul’s conversion to Christianity through Lord’s gaze, or during the Feast of the Tranquility poured down from the Holy Spirit. In another form, this iconic content is reflected in the image of Prometheus, who destroyed the old order by lighting the torch on the path of the sun on Mount Olympus, thereby, stealing fire from Gods and bring down to mankind.

b. Mountains

Behind the towers, there are two green mountains towering with the stream of life flowing down the valley floor. We can easily see in these two mountains the rising knees of a woman in labor, and her abdomen’s inside below the bottom. This turns the lower part of the Moon Thoth card into the body of the mother covering the fetus and the path to the reproductive channel. This reflects the Egyptian tradition, in which Nut, the Goddess of the sacred devoured the sun in the west every evening and gave birth to it in the east every morning. We see her blood lost in the process like a red sky in the morning.

c. Yod (drops of blood)

In front of the triangular section in the background, we see nine drops of blood in the form of Yod – the Hebrew writing falls on the top of the path (the opening of the uterus). Number nine is the wise number of the Moon, and Yod is the first word in the name of God written in Hebrew. It represents the kind of tolerance given to mankind on the path to light.

d. The Crescent

In the middle of the top edge of the Moon Thoth card, there is a crescent moon facing down. Beneath it, we recognize the underworld, pushing up to the full moon, from below to enter the moonballs. This is the world of the dreamer, who let themselves be dragged into dreams to the point where they disappear from this world.

What Crowley calls drug illusions or insanity is the goal of dreamer and magicians to disappear from the physical planet and wake up on the other side of the boundary of the known. The rising world in the moon’s secretion shows the desire to penetrate time and space which is repressed within ordinary people: “the old dies, the new is not born yet out, and from this interruption, there have been numerous syndromes of illness ”(Antonio Gramsci).

III. Interpretation of the Moon Thoth Tarot

1. Background of the Moon Thoth Tarot (in the womb of darkness)

At the end of each month, we can see the dim light from the crescent moon before the sun rises in the eastern sky. Then, there were three moonless nights before the new light from the crescent moon appeared for the first time when the sun was setting in the west. The moon dies in the east and stays three days in the underworld before it rises again from the west. So, it is a symbol of all heroes and messiahs who once went into the realm of death in three days.  

2. Overview of the Moon Thoth Tarot

The Moon Thoth card leads us into the endless depth of our inner world, and thus, enters the visual world of the soul. It allows us to have a vague idea behind the example through which we adjust our conscious world to adapt to the fear necessary for our safety. That idea leads us into the realm of the subconscious in which we face our longing and deep souls. Just as important as when we go down to the underworld is the return from there. Only when the sun cuts through the threshold described in this card is there a new development. Otherwise, the core of our personality is still swallowed up in the ocean of darkness, and the process of self-development will fail.

3. Awareness

In terms of consciousness, the Moon Thoth card shows a great opportunity to acquire, including related dangers. This is the deep down journey that myths refer to as a trip to Hades or a trip to the underworld. These stories vividly describe the frightening images of our souls as “the herd of darkness”. Coping and overcoming monsters is the hardest part of the hero’s journey and thus, the biggest challenge in life: all dragons, spiders, snakes, monsters, and demons are past patterns of experiences emerging from the depths of our memories.

They have been woven in a prototype way into consciousness and represent part of our psychological heritage. Evolution does not remove them but conceals them miraculously in a higher form of conscious acts. Just like when we discover and conquer the outside world like children (armed with a stick), it is time to explore the inner space. The most dangerous thing is being swallowed up by the darkness, peaceful form rather than withdrawing from the world and the extreme form rather than the mental disorder.

4. Career

In terms of career, the Moon Thoth card is fear and insecurity in work, and fear of deepening failure, not getting a job or finding a suitable career. Cheating, lying and deception are fears; the disorder, confusion, and irrationality are also counted. However, we also become accustomed to our intuition. It can guide us better than reason if we do not ignore it. Imagination, creativity and deep knowledge are awakened when we choose the path to go inside. Just like artists who focus on turning their deep desires into visible forms, this card urges us to create a way of expressing our inner life in the outside world.

5. Relationship

The moon, which appears in front of us in a shape that changes every night, even from ancient times, represents things that are easy to change and therefore, also unreliable, sullen and tempting. Its reflected light is considered a symbol of sensitive passivity and lack of will and therefore, all addictions (aspirations). Everything that is familiar and clear in the daylight can turn into a struggle with childish imagination and capable of pulling us down into sources of unconscious desires.

The Moon Thoth has a wide meaning, ranging from illusory dreams to insanity and representing relationships in which we must fight the hysteria, the vulnerability and the fear of being abandoned. This card may also mean that the relationship it describes is a dream. So, it shows its romantic and dreamy nature that has allowed desires, dreams, aerial castles to be created.

Gentle Cellular Detoxification & Drainage

Gentle Cellular Detoxification & Drainage

Phytotherapy is defined as the study of the use of adult plant extracts as medicinal or health promoting agents.  The term Gemmotherapy, formerly known as Phyto-Embryo-Therapy, refers to the study of the therapeutic effects of the embryonic, or the developing part of the plant tissue, such as young shoots, rootlets and fresh buds of plants, as opposed to the different components of the whole adult plant such as leaves, stem, flowers, and more.   Gemmotherapy is often referred to as the super active form of Phytotherapy, since bud extracts and other embryonic tissues contain cells that are in the dividing stages, packed with powerful Life (Vital) force, intelligent energy and the genetic information needed to develop into an adult plant. 

 The research on the embryonic parts of plants began in Belgium in the 1950’s, but it wasn’t until 1971 when the term Gemmotherapy was coined by the French Medical doctor, Dr. Max Tetau who after extensive Pharmacological and analytical studies coined the term, Gemmotherapy.

 The study of the Pharmacological properties of Gemmotherapy, and assessments of the activity of the fresh buds as compared to the ingredients isolated from the whole plant, has put Gemmotherapy therapeutically far ahead of Phytotherapy.  The powerful potential of a single embryonic cell of a bud in dividing stages to become the whole plant, with all its genetic information, gives it the potential to achieve favorable therapeutic results with much smaller dosages.  These embryonic tissues are in a phase where their cells multiply rapidly.  They contain more Genetic information or Nucleic Acid than other tissues, in addition to being rich in nutrients such as Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes and more.

 Embryonic extracts in Gemmotherapy can have multiple therapeutic benefits, including nourishing, detoxifying and regenerating the cells of our body, revitalizing organs and systems in our body, as well as helping to drain, remove or eliminate toxins from the body.   In addition the extracts can be helpful in dissolving and getting rid of scar tissue in the body.  In this article, I will discuss the multiple benefits of Gemmotherapy, in particular its detoxification and drainage properties, as well as briefly explaining how the medicines are prepared and prescribed.  So let us begin….

​Detoxification   

Gemmotherapy is recognized as a super active, natural and Non-Toxic modern approach to the gentle and subtle cellular cleansing, detoxification and drainage.  It provides a modern and advanced method of drainage, perfectly adapted to the illness being treated.  Through the use of diluted organic substances, the toxins, cellular debris and metabolic waste products that have been accumulated in the cells over the years causing pain, other illnesses and genetic modifications, are extracted from the cells outward to the exterior, thus providing the avenues for the passage of Light (Life) Force, or the electromagnetic field through the cells.  Gemmotherapy has earned the nickname, the body’s cellular chimneysweeper, or the cellular chimney cleaner that can revive dying cells.  Gemmotherapy also facilitates or helps with the better utilization or action of other medications, including prescription medications, since it can purify the body at a cellular level, to improve cell to cell communication and the flow and exchange of Life (Vital) force and Light within and in between the cells.

Chronic Physical, Emotional and Neurological Illnesses such as Arthritis, Diabetes, Obesity, Depression, Anxiety, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson, Atherosclerosis or clogged arteries that can lead to Hypertension and ultimately Heart attacks, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Insomnia and more, can all result from gradual cell intoxication over time.  Theses illnesses may gradually be caused by the chronic use of prescription medication, alcohol abuse, consumption of tobacco, over consumption of coffee or soda & caffeinated drinks, consumption of unhealthy food & water, addiction to recreational drugs, and more.  Toxins tend to weaken the energy flow and the Light or the electromagnetic field in the Chakras.

 Harmful effect of Toxins and Toxic Debris to Cells

Toxins can create a block to the flow of Light (Life Force), also known as Bioenergy within and in between the cells, impairing both the function of the cells, and the communication that is needed from cell to cell, to ensure proper Tissue, Organ and System function.  Toxins can also interfere with the electrolytic balance in the cells, particularly in nerve cells or neurons, blocking the passage of ions, therefore diminishing nerve transmission.

Just as Physical toxins can impact and impair cell function, there are also non-physical factors such as Emotions, feelings and thoughts that can as well serve as toxins, leaving an impact on the cells.  For example, the process of living with and experiencing fear, doubt, anger, and negative thoughts, whether real or imagined, for a prolonged period of time, is analogous to ingesting unhealthy food or abusing drugs or alcohol.  When the cells of our body are full of physical toxins from our modern day lifestyles, plus the mental fears, uncertainties, anxieties and other negative energies, severe cellular blockages can take place, leading to Depression and other mental and Brain related disorders.  Specific Gemmotherapy protocols can address psychological problems from fears and phobias to obsessions, loss of memory, concentration & attention, and more.

The percentage of the flow of Life Force or Light in the cells, directly correlates to the percentage of the physical and non-physical toxic substances and frequencies that we allow to build up in our physical body.  Therefore, physical toxins and negative thoughts result in an opacification or a blockage in the cells, resulting in tissue, organ and system damage, and ultimately illness.  The gentle detoxifying action of Gemmotherapy is a Natural, effective and Non-toxic method of treating and preventing many illnesses and dysfunctions without any uncomfortable side effects.

 Gemmotherapy as a cell nutrient provider

The embryonic cells and tissues such as the bud are rich in nutrients and Anti-oxidants (Anti-aging agents).  Gemmotherapy is capable of delivering a variety of nutrients to the cells, including Vitamins, Minerals, Enzymes, Trace Elements, hormones and Amino Acids. 

 Drainage

Once the toxins exit out of the cells, Gemmotherapy stimulates the removal of toxins from the body through the elimination organs such as the kidneys and the Digestive system.

Organ Revitalization

Gemmotherapy can target to revitalize specific organs and therefore whole systems in the body, including the kidneys, Liver, Heart, Pancreas, Lungs, Intestine and more.  The revitalization process at the cellular level can improve overall function, as well as help in prevention of illness in the long run.

 Preparation of Gemmotherapy drops

The embryonic or the young part of the plant once harvested in the Springtime, is placed in a mixture of Glycerin and alcohol.  The mixture of bud, alcohol and glycerin is left to macerate for 21 days, after which the Glycerinated macerate is prepared and diluted according to the official Homeopathic dilution preparation.  The dilutions are of very low potency of 1 X (1DH), which is one part per 10.  This dilution is the medicinal product of the Gemmotherapy remedies.

Gemmotherapy prescription

Gemmotherapy drops are typically prescribed to be taken once a day, 50 drops in 1/3 cup of water.  Several Gemmotherapy remedies can be prescribed at once, however, once each bottle is finished, that usually concludes the Gemmotherapy specific for that particular remedy, with no need to continue taking another bottle of that remedy.

Most effective stage to use Gemmotherapy

Gemmotherapy remedies are prepared according to the official Homeopathic dilution preparations.  The dilutions are only 1 X or 1 DH.  Other Homeopathic remedies are made with far higher dilutions, some to the point where there are no longer any actual physical remedy left in the solution.  The best and most effective stage to use Gemmotherapy is after a comprehensive Cellular detoxification program where all the major detox pathways are opened, and the cells of our body have already physically been detoxed.  Homeopathic preparations generally tend to work best on a cleansed and purified body, and therefore Gemmotherapy drops work best after cellular detox by doing their chimney sweeping action, to allow Light, the Life (Vital) force, or the electromagnetic force packed with intelligence and order to pass through the cells and take the healing process further.  Once all the Gemmotherapy has completed, the high potency, highly diluted Homeopathic remedies will work at the higher mental and spiritual level, by shinning white light or the intelligent electromagnetic energy onto the cells.

Examples of Gemmotherapy remedies and their uses

Tilia Tomentosa taken from the Lime Tree, is one of the most commonly used Gemmotherapy remedies, best known for its sedative and neuro-regulating properties.  It can help with sleep, by calming the nerves without any drowsiness.  It is a completely safe, Non-toxic, and Non-habit forming remedy that is also used in protocols to treat Anxiety and Depression.  Its action is so gentle that it is often recommended for the use in children, the elderly, and even in pregnant women. 

Olea Europaea, common name European Olive, can well be called the chimney sweeper of our body’s arteries.  Olea can dissolve arterial plaques and break down scar tissue at the arterial level, as well as at the cerebral (Brain) tissue level, making it a good indication for Hypertension & heart attack prevention, improving memory, attention and concentration in the elderly, as well as a good indication for prevention for Alzheimer.

Conclusion

Pharmacological scientific research, together with extensive clinical experiments have clearly shown that the use of embryonic parts of plants such as buds, the young leafs or rootlets, makes it possible to obtain more active medication, with no need to prescribe large dosages.  Gemmotherapy is a Natural, Non-Toxic and proven safe and effective method of healing at the cellular level, capable of cleansing & Detoxifying, while simultaneously providing nutrition to the cells.  This gentle, yet powerful approach, can safely be used from newborns to Geriatric (elderly) patients, to even lactating or pregnant women.

I hope that I’ve been able to effectively paint the big picture of this fascinating, effective and yet relatively unknown, European based method of healing.

As always, I wish all of you a well deserved lifetime of Health, Joy, and Peace of Mind,

Gemmotherapy: A Powerful Modality for Treating Allergies

Gemmotherapy: A Powerful Modality for Treating Allergies

Gemmotherapy: A Powerful Modality for Treating Allergies

Vis Medicatrix Naturae

Robin DiPasquale, ND, RH (AHG)

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life. (Herman Hesse)

It is those profound experiences in life that show how powerful plant medicine can be. I was living in Sansepolcro, a small Tuscan town in Italy nestled along the Tiber River, and working for the herb company, Aboca. It was spring, and the female cottonwood trees were sending out so much cotton that the valley looked as if it was snowing. Never before had I experienced such an allergic reaction in my body, with severe sneezing, itchy eyes, dripping nose, and a head full of mucus. As I would walk to work or to the shops around town, many people would say to me, You need Ribes nigrum. You should take Ribes nigrum. Why aren’t you taking Ribes nigrum? And why wasn’t I taking Ribes nigrum, since I was working right where this herbal tincture was being produced? So I went off to the Aboca shop and purchased Ribes nigrum, and started taking it. The response was immediate. I stopped sneezing, my eyes stopped itching, my nose stopped running, and my sinuses and head became clear. As long as I continued to take this herbal tincture, the symptoms abated.

Fast-forward 3 years, and the same series of events occurred, this time in Colepardo, a small Italian hill-town in Lazio. It was spring again, the female cottonwood trees were sending out their cotton, and my allergy symptoms were full-blown. Since I happened to be in the town where Sarandrea gemmotherapy remedies are manufactured, this time it was the gemmo remedy of Ribes nigrum that I reached for. To my relief, the symptoms again abated as I continued to take this remedy several times a day.

What happened after that was even more profound. Each year, as the female cottonwood trees sent out their cotton, my expression of the allergy symptoms lessened and lessened. Something was changing. Something was being repaired. Something was becoming more in balance. This is the distinction between herbal tinctures and gemmotherapy: These gemmo extracts, made from the embryonic tissue of the plants, enhance the body’s ability to repair and rejuvenate.

Gemmotherapy for Allergy

Gemmotherapy remedies are extracted from the buds, the new shoots, and the new rootlets of a plant. Many of the bud extracts are prepared from trees – some familiar to herbalists, as well as many other trees not generally used in herbal medicine. The new shoots come from the shrubs, Ribes nigrum among them. The rootlet plants are 2 remedies made from the grasses, Secale cereale and Zea mays. To prepare these remedies, the plant parts must be harvested in the spring, just as the buds are about to open, just as the new shoots have emerged, and just as the new rootlets are reaching out from the seed. This is called the “balsamic time,” the time when the plant offers its energy of new growth, containing all the potential of the plant emerging. This is when the enzymes and growth hormones are abundantly present, which is the key to the regenerative properties of gemmo extracts.

Working with allergies, there is a collection of gemmo remedies to be considered. Each has specific actions and organ affinities to be differentiated, and can be taken as a simple (a remedy made from a single plant) or as a complex (combination of 2 or more plants), as well as included in herbal formulations with our well-known herbal remedies for allergies, such as nettles, goldenrod, eyebright, and ephedra. Following are some specific gemmo remedies and their properties to consider during allergy season.

Ribes nigrum

Ribes nigrum (black currant) is inflammation-modulating through its cortisone-like action, decreasing inflammatory activity along the mucous membranes of the respiratory, urogenital, and digestive systems. By stabilizing mast cell degranulation, histamine release is decreased. Its diuretic action supports kidney drainage. When taken for 3 months, a desensitization occurs, including a decrease in the intensity and frequency of allergy symptoms and a correcting of the allergic terrain. Black currant is a true adaptogenic remedy. It pairs well with Alnus glutinosa (European alder).

Fagus sylvatica

Fagus sylvatica (beech) has antihistamine action, which is useful in managing allergic symptoms. It seems, however, that beech also works through the liver, stimulating phagocytic action of the hepatic Kupffer cells, thereby cleaning up debris including products of inflammation.

Betula

Betula species (both silver birch and white birch) are considered inflammation-modulating and anti-allergy. It has an antihistamine action. Birch is a liver and kidney drainage remedy, clearing the terrain for all systems. Birch can be used by itself, but may be more effective when combined with black currant.

Alnus glutinosa

Alnus glutinosa (European alder) has a lot to do with managing water in the body, as it does in nature. The flow of water quenches inflammation, and helps maintain moisture balance on mucous membranes. It some ways this gemmo acts like Natrum muriaticum does in homeopathy – ie, thinning excess catarrh so that it can flow more effectively. It has both upper respiratory effects (ears, nose, and throat) and lower respiratory effects (bronchi and lungs). Alder, along with black currant, is considered a true drainer, supporting any organ to clear and rebalance.

Corylus avellana

Corylus avellana (hazel) has an affinity for the lungs, so is most indicated when allergy symptoms go deeper and become asthmatic. Being a remedy that acts on the liver, hazel can also assist with liver drainage, which is essential in any allergy situation.

Carpinus betulus

Carpinus betulus (hornbeam) decreases nasal congestion and helps repair mucous membranes of the sinuses. It is also antispasmodic. Hornbeam is found in forests along with beech and oak; it never grows alone. As a gemmo remedy, it is also rarely used alone, being more effective in combinations. When allergies affect the sinuses, combining black currant with hornbeam helps diminish acute symptoms and supports regeneration in the situation of chronic allergies.

Rosmarinus & Juniperus

When allergy symptoms are present, the liver should be treated simultaneously. If not, it is like pulling a heavy load uphill. Two gemmo remedies to consider for liver support are Rosmarinus officinalis and Juniperus communis.

Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) is hepatoprotective and antioxidant, regenerates liver cells, regulates blood sugar, and is choleretic, thus increasing bile secretions. It is catabolic as well, enhancing the burning of waste products and facilitating their elimination through the gastrointestinal tract. Rosemary should be the first choice in supportive allergy treatments, as it can significantly desensitize allergic responses. Be aware, though, that it should not be used long-term, but rather rotated with other gemmo remedies.

Juniperus communis (juniper) has a major depurative action and is the most powerful kidney drainage remedy in gemmotherapy. It also works on the liver because of its ability to detoxify hepatocytes. Juniper is to the kidney what rosemary is to the liver – both are powerful drainage and regenerative remedies.

These 2 remedies are often considered most useful in pediatric cases, although I also find them useful for some adults with allergies, especially chronic cases.

Abies pectinata

Abies pectinata (silver fir) is useful in cases of repeated or chronic allergic episodes. It acts on the upper respiratory areas, in cases of nasopharyngitis, recurrent ear infections, sinusitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis, adenoiditis, and bronchitis. Silver fir helps regenerate the terrain through remineralization.

Rosa canina

Rosa canina (dog rose) stimulates the immune system and the reticuloendothelial system, and is especially useful when there are recurrent or chronic allergic episodes that affect the ear, nose, and throat. As with silver fir, this could involve nasopharyngitis, recurrent ear infections, sinusitis, laryngitis, tonsillitis, adenoiditis, and bronchitis. An excellent combination is dog rose with Hippophae rhamnoides and sea buckthorne, both of which are very high in vitamin C.

Summary

As allergy season is upon us, first with the blooming of the trees of spring, then the grasses and weeds of summer and fall, consider adding gemmotherapy to your naturopathic toolbox. Not only does it promise symptom relief for your patients, but the potential for desensitization and regeneration are locked into each bottle of these embryonic plant extracts.

The Hanged Man Thoth – Crowley Tarot | Thoth Tarot Deck

The Hanged Man Thoth – Crowley Tarot | Thoth Tarot Deck

Instinct	Sacrifice and devotion (accepting the arrangement of fate and seeking deep hidden meanings).
Purpose	Redemption, maturity, the search for wisdom, salvation focus.
The Light	Overcoming the self, changing people.
The Shadow	The impasse, resistance, and self-sacrifice (state of stalemate, suspended in midair, could not find any purpose in life).
Quality	A new perspective on life.

I. Background of the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot card

We see the image of a hanged man whose head is pointing down, enduring the austerity between life and death. The snake of life wrapped around his left foot, connecting him with the symbol of Ankh’s life appearing from white light. Ancient Greeks considered the cross-legged symbol of life energy. However, both the man’s head and hands were pointing down toward the snake of death lying on the grave below. The background is a quadrilateral grid representing the elemental table containing symbols of natural energy. These small squares and crossed legs symbolize the number four, always representing mundane reality.

However, the circle to which the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot is clinging has the symbolic value of absoluteness and divinity, as well as the number three showed by the three nails representing the gods. Then, this reflects the most common form of the cross, where Jesus was hanged to the cross by three nails: divinity (3) was hanged to mundane suffering (4), suspended between the basic human values of life and death. This sacrifice means salvation. On the level of deep psychology, the self sacrifices itself to be revived in the divine self. The absolute experience that is necessary for this transformation is the encounter with death (the next card) – the central theme of the initiation rite of all enigmatic cult. Clairvoyance for the cramped limit of one’s self allows the self to be humble and entrust the guidance to the High Self.

II. Analyze and describe the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot

1. Shape (entangled person)

a. The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man is hanged with his head facing the ground, and thus, bears the expression of a person trapped in the same road and caught in the influence of his own ideas and deeds at the point of absolute inability to move. However, the solution also lies in this hopelessness: he cannot do anything but wait and accept his situation. At that time, the person mentioned will find himself in the condition that his own creation and desire become one: “Father, not my will but yours will be fulfilled!”

b. Position

Crowley – contrary to Waite – chose the traditional form to portray the Hanged Man and hung him with his left leg. Therefore, he expressed the concept by which we tend to inadvertently approach the forms of this learning process unconsciously rather than seeking them consciously, such as the drawing of the Waite. Being forced to abandon his behavior reluctantly, the Hanged Man was pushed into uncertainty. He found himself in a suspended state, where everything was taken away from him, and he had to wait in the dark, literally, to see how things will continue. Crowley writes:

In Osiris’ Era (may correspond to the era of Pisces which is ending in the present), the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot represents the supreme formula of adept alchemists: the image of a man who is hanged or drowned carries its own special meanings. The two legs crossed so that the right leg forms a right angle with the left leg and the arms reached out to create an angle of 60 degrees, thereby, forming an equilateral triangle; this gives us the symbol of the Triangle covering the Cross, representing the projection of light into the darkness to save it. In the spiritual aspect, his condition is an act of giving up the road to the deepest inner experiences – an expression of unconditional devotion in the experience of the mysterious process to mingle with one source.

c. Body part

On a material level, his condition implies the full exposition of all masks and therefore, alludes to experiencing total unprotected protection. Only when paying that price can the searcher be able to meet with the Divine Self within him, which will continue to support him when all external frameworks cannot help him anymore. This helplessness is the fundamental aspect of humanity: that is the helplessness of an infant with what I do not want to start until it has become humble through the situations of life.

d. Head/Face

The shaved head and a smooth body showed that he was ready to go through his childhood again but on a higher level of awareness. However, along with letting go of his covered self, he also lost his face beside the things that surround him. The change in facial expressions and the feeling of gravity are the masks, where the self hides its fear behind it. Until humanity realizes that their fears, which are trying to achieve safety, are based purely on the desire to control everything, they can understand that this fear will be extinguished immediately when they were ready to receive their fate without flinching, and with faith in a higher lead.

2. The surroundings (the icon) of the Hanged man Thoth

a.The key of the cross (the snake of life)

The green horizon in the upper part of the card is pierced by the white rays of the crown (Kether) – the sign of extraordinary things and endless flow. The cross in the foreground is a symbol of things that have become visible, and the snake, which is wrapped around the apostle’s feet and binds him with the symbol of the cross key – Ankh, is the image of the transformative power of creativity that unites Hanged Man with vitality.

b. Blue fence

Crowley called these numerous small squares basic signs, which are socially miniature models that help liberate people from the smallest pieces of personal responsibility because they have prepared small boxes, social commentaries, or a reason for each creative act.

The Hanged Man Thoth Tarot contrasts with these models. With self-sacrifice and through efforts to accept his inner helplessness, he freed himself from his previous importance. He no longer has to distinguish himself and can free himself from social obligations. At that time, the prospect of introvert opens up for the real correlation of life. Hanged Man’s situation forced him to open up to everything whether he liked it or not.

c. Green plates

Because this liberating experience of internal merger and refuge requires the emergence of weakness and helplessness as a prerequisite, it is not difficult to understand when a real and proper person often needs to be destined to be smarter to achieve this purpose. Only a “crazy person” will try to approach the crisis voluntarily; this is reflected not only in the characters being hung up with the left leg but also in the blue plates that through them, the Hanged Man is nailed to the fence, but is still separate from the pattern of collective notions by the thickness of the plate.

d. Black snake

Through his posture, the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot has returned to the ancient resources (the snake below), is something that only looks can cause terror of death, but can also lead to the notion that it is the source of that power that keeps him alive (the snake above). The black snake was only half the truth inside the Hanged Man, and he also realized it was the snake of life holding him on the cross. He then combined both upper and lower (gas and water) and achieved a central point inside, where he did not need to avoid reality anymore. Now he was able to give up – because, in his own renunciation, he grasped his own self: he hung his own fear above, and by giving it up, he was free!

3. Note about the Hanged Man Thoth

a. Hanged Man’s awakening

In German mythology, Odin sacrificed an eye to be allowed to drink water from the stream of knowledge at the root of the world tree Yggdrasil. The tree or gallows (in Tyr’s magic song, the awakening of a hanged man who was memorialized) is a symbol of intellect, inner perception and is closely related to the cross that God hung up. Odin also made himself injured by a spear and hung himself on the ash tree. It is also impossible to ignore the similarity with the Savior because they both seek common salvation and are not personal.

Just as when Christ rose from death and united himself with his Father through death, the Hanged Man could comprehend the reversed world through his new vision and could gain knowledge. Through that action, he is not only saved but also filled with youthfulness and the idea of how meaningless suffering can lead to experience, it brings meaning and inner humility through the acceptance of fate. Like Jesus waking up from death, Odin awakens his “alternate self”, because Hangatyr (Tyr is hanging) is another term for Odin hung himself from a branch of Yggdrasil:

Know I that I hung

upon a wind-swept tree

nine full nights

spear-wounded

and given to Odin

myself to myself

upon that tree

which nobody knows

what roots it rises from.

Tyr is the oldest Teuton God of heaven. Similar to Cronos, he was replaced by the new Father of the Earth, Odin. But in contrast to the Greek God who ended on Blessed Island, the old king of the Teuton Gods was reborn through his child. There is no resistance, with wholehearted devotion, facing death, to experience the rest of the extremes of life, which are deep targets in the magic song (Edda). Tyr symbolizes ancestral patterns, only passed on to children when he knows how to merge with them instead of fighting them. Odin’s sacrifice led to initiation: the secrets of the runes and the knowledge of ancient times were revealed to him. The self has sacrificed itself so that the divine self appears to be the key: I am devoted to myself!

III. Interpretation of the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot

1. Background of the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot (the mid-life crisis)

The Hanged Man Thoth Tarot card represents, and nothing more, the subject of revolving around one’s life. So, it represents the crisis in the midst of life, as well as all the big and small changes that life forces us to embrace. It shows that we are stuck until we are ready to take a new perspective on everything. But except for the increasingly difficult situations, nothing can force us to look deep inside, and no one can guarantee it will actually replace. Thus, we have the right to choose here, either to learn, to change our way of thinking, to reverse our orientation and to choose a new path or to let ourselves be hung in there and continue to endure without any improvement.

2. Overview of the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot

The Hanged Man is the card of change, mainly to announce that we are in a dilemma. However, when considered more carefully, the external rigidity of this cavity contains the necessity, as well as the opportunity to achieve an extended image of the world through a fundamental understanding:

The big problem in the world is never solved thoroughly. If they appear once, it will always be a loss. The meaning and purpose do not appear in their solution, but in fact, we are constantly solving them. This helps to keep us away from the delusion and petrification. (C.G. Jung).

3. Career

In the field of career, the Hanged Man Thoth Tarot card means deliberate delays, if not the first, for our plans. Projects are delayed, promotions are not available, finding new areas of activity is useless, and important plans cannot be implemented. On the other hand, loving attitudes can also be sacrificed to make room for the development of new potentials. In any case, this card also requires a new perspective on things, sometimes, it is forced through the difficult challenges of patience.

4. Relationship

If we live without a stable relationship and try to achieve a credible relationship or get caught up in a difficult relationship and have tried to get out but cannot, we are stuck in our current situation and are experiencing discomfort. But when we learn to accept difficulties as a stage on our path, practice patience, and slowly open our hearts to new insights, problems will often be solved themselves.
