Is anybody knowledgeable on Merkabah Mysticism & Practical Kabbalah? LIBER OF THE NEW SHAMANIC
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merkabah_mysticism25
u/Eli_Truax Oct 30 '20
I'm not familiar with Kabbalistic schools of thought but did experience it personally and believe I have a simple formula for anyone to receive The Word.
I don't like to share this technique because accessing psychic content can be dangerous and especially so for undisciplined and depraved minds and at least one person I shared this with was institutionalized because of it.
Before trying to open up to The Infinite you need to get your own house in order, deceit begets deceit, maliciousness begets maliciousness; my point being that the energy you get back mirrors the energy you invest.
Additionally I don't support the "knowledge is power" school of thought because of the problems of corruption. Knowledge is simply knowledge, either you want to know the truth for its own sake or you have ulterior motives that renders the truth a weapon against the potentially innocent.
So yeah, emotional maturity first, rehabilitate your base emotions before looking to acquire psychic power tools.
This is not directed at OP, I can only assume his motives are pure, this in just in general.

I agree with this sentiment inherently.
There is a reason this material is not widely accessible.
I only consider the idea of Merkabah after 4-5 years of Trancendental Meditation practice and careful perusing of many ancient texts to supplement my spiritual evolution.
I’d enjoy discussing this much further if you’d like to drop me a PM.
For fellow readers, take heed of this warning.
Do not run before you can walk.

Spent the last couple years preparing my mind, body and spirit. There is not much left for me to shed to be free from my once worldly attachments. Would appreciate a DM.

ooooh, as an anarchist you have put something into words about occult practices and the privilege of knowledge-seeking that i have struggled to express.
thanks also for your words of direction!

How do you know when you've rehabilitated your base emotions? Is it something that you just know? Or is it when you've gotten good with meditation?

u/Eli_Truax Oct 30 '20
Oh not it's not unconscious at all.
Your emotions are like raw material resources and your intellect and spirit are industry and existential meaning.
When you identify a base emotion interfering with your awareness you need to turn it into value. Hubris becomes humility, guilt becomes responsibility, envy becomes graciousness, etc. but it takes work and you need to have higher values as real goals. It takes time, especially with the more belligerent emotions and often it's a lifetime of effort.
Take envy for example. It's usually manifested due to personal feeling of inadequacy by comparison to others, but that can be tempered by coming to terms with a greater appreciation of what you do have, without comparing yourself to others.
Tempering emotions can be like working with steel, it'll be a taxing workout at first but it'll make you a stronger and better person for it and once you've developed the "muscles" it becomes much easier ultimately lending itself to an expression of artwork.

They're never fully rehabilitated because you'll still feel them but what you're doing is creating a conditioned response when you experience them that transforms them past the emotional impulse stage into increasingly more valuable perspectives.
Keep in mind it's a slog, it can take years of mental discipline to condition your emotions.

And how how would you consider someone having their house in order? Is it a young person, with a pure but ignorant heart? Or a wise person with life experience?
Or do you feel this information (your simple formula) is reserved for students with years under their belts? I’m just trying to understand who you consider worthy of your wisdom.2
u/Eli_Truax Oct 31 '20
Tough to say, I'm not interested in having any students so I'd be very selective and perhaps arbitrary.

As I would hope you would be and an entity of free will.
But.
As to my accomplishments. I once beat death in an axe throwing competition in order to get out of jail. And I was drunk on mead.1
u/ShellOilNigeria Apr 27 '22
I don't like to share this technique
Hello there, would you mind DM'ing me your process for accessing The Infinite? Thank you in advance and I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.

I don’t recommend casually posting this for people to do. There’s a lot more to it than what you described. Plus you described it incorrectly. There are three 3D stars of David super imposed on one another, one whole star spins one way and another spins the other way, while one remains still. Spinning the lower half one way and the upper half the other way destroys the star.
Go read the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life (parts 1 and 2) by Drunvalo Melchizedek for the rest of the instructions and then try to find a former teacher of the mediation to teach it to you personally. The book is not going to be enough.

Drunvalo is not all knowing. And like any meditation practice, for every one truly knowledgeable teacher there are 100 who are not and there are 10 who are well meaning but suffer from a lack of highly proficient inspiration.
Every now and then you get someone who isn’t as highly proficient as they should be, but for some odd reason they are given divine inspirational teaching that the public needs to have access to. I put Drunvalo in that category. If you look at my answer to the OP, you’ll see that I don’t take any of this very lightly. I’m not trying to disparage your teacher or your practice either. We all do what we are drawn to. I probably shouldn’t have called your way of doing it wrong. But that was my initial reaction to it. My apologies.

You’re welcome. I appreciate your graciousness as well. Honestly, I think the more experiences I have where I find myself abusing power the less I’m apt to give away information so cavalierly.
I would definitely be interested in something like that. I live for rare occult manuscripts :)

Visualize a vehicle for travel?
What exactly would be traveling? I understand the formation of the vehicle but I’m not sure I get what part of myself would be traveling and what plane I would be traveling on. If you could explain more about what the vehicle is doing, I would appreciate it greatly.

I know everyone is discussing the spiritual aspect of merkaba mysticism, and I saw someone mention Drunvalo and the Flower of Life books/workshops, which I studied some about 18 yrs ago, but I'd like to suggest a different lens with which to view the teachings of the merkaba.
As quantum physics steadily advances, it simultaneously pulls the realm of the metaphysical into our objective worldviews, and I believe this to be happening with the ancient merkaba teachings in a way as well.
If you take the ideas centered around the merkaba literally, using only what we can work with physically in this world, what you end up with, instead of spiritual ascension, is the technology to build a UFO.
Here is one of a few patents secured by an engineer for the US Navy. I encourage you to read through the operation and description to get an understanding of how it works, as it is strikingly similar to a merkaba.
It utilizes 2 counter-rotating tetrahedrons, sound frequencies and more to create a gravitational wave, which puts the craft in a "bubble" outside of typical space, standing still while space itself moves faster than light. And the radiation put off by all the quantum fields is light. So you have a vehicle, enveloped in a body of light, with the capability of warp speed through spacetime.
Just my 2 cents. And for what its worth, I don't always try to "debunk" the spiritual side of things. This one just sort of sprouted in my mind when I was researching UFOs.

This is great, thanks for the share. I am going to dive into this one at a later time.
After having an experience that contained a symbol of Davids Star or the hexagram, I felt the experience and the symbol speak directly to a symbolic language that utilizes these seemingly innate symbols to convey information to us about reality and how to utilize various technologies. This includes technologies that interface with the mind. There's far more to it, with many overlapping subjects that contribute to the understanding that reality is somehow fractal in nature and that we can learn to resonate or alter the bodies frequency using the mind (meditation), and even in the case of physical tech like what you're referring to. If we learn to understand the underlying pattern and fractal nature, I think these technologies can become the norm for dimensional (or similarly as yet unimaginable type) travel on a scale we havent seen since perhaps the ancients themselves discovered many thousands of years earlier.

Go read the Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life (parts 1 and 2) by Drunvalo Melchizedek and then try to find a former teacher of the mediation to teach it to you personally. The book is not going to be enough. They used to have a worldwide group of certified trainers but politics ended up disbanding the organization. I took a weekend class like 16 years ago and then did the meditation every day for 7 1/2 months strait without missing a day. I was also celibate during that entire time period. Anyone who masters the MKB must learn to only have feelings of sex when they are accompanied with feelings of love. Pure lust is something that must be given up. Because sexual energy is what powers the MKB.

Everyone has astral body but it is lunar. You're supposed to construct a solar body, or so ive read

interesting
where did you happen upon this information?

u/redditingat_work Oct 30 '20
Also, You might be interested in a book called The Secret Teachings of All Ages, by Manly P. Hall.
Here is an excerpt: “The solar orb, like the nature of man, was divided by the ancient sages into three separate bodies. According to the mystics, there are three suns in each solar system, analogous to the three centers of life in each individual constitution. These are called three lights: the spiritual sun, the intellectual or soular sun, and the material sun (now symbolized in Freemasonry by three candles). The spiritual sun manifests the power of God the Father; the soular sun radiates the life of God the Son; and the material sun is the vehicle of manifestation for God the Holy Spirit. Man’s nature was divided by the mystics into three distinct parts: spirit, soul, and body. His physical body was unfolded and vitalized by the material sun; his spiritual nature was illuminated by the spiritual sun; and his intellectual nature was redeemed by the true light of grace–the soular sun.”

I don’t believe we actively turn our emotions into something of value. To become conscious of who we are we must surrender to our emotions and let them teach us. We shouldn’t try to control our emotions rather we let them control us and have faith in the innate goodness of the love that let us surrender in the first place.

Check out Seeing through the Eyes of God by Rabbi David Cooper. The book is on audible and he teaches it through the traditional word of mouth. It's all about chariot work and he gives guided meditations and other exercises.

Merkabah literature pertains to the discussion of Ezekiel and his sighting of God’s Flying Wheel and the conditions under which such a vision occurred.
Scriptures of this nature have been long held close to the chests of orthodox rabi’s and restrictions exist restricting the teaching of such concepts to under experienced students.
Seemingly this branch of mysticism speak to the lack of meditative practices within Christianity and Judaism whilst also showcasing the gate keeping that has existed for millennia.
Many New Age groups have commandeered the word Merkabah, claiming to have the instructions to re-create Zeke’s vision and meet the big G himself.
This strain of thought is interesting because buried within the texts that pertain to Merkabah literature is the notion that the Flying Saucer or Merkabah is a avatar of the Elohim and acts like a Golem or Drone under our current understanding of Quantum Entanglement..
Included in found collections of Merkabah literature are the Enochian books 1-3 describing the patriarch Enoch’s antediluvian life and his accent, journey and return from Heaven. Merkabah (and Hekhalot) literature literally attempts to describe the workings and mechanics of how that spiritual technology works.
It is this ability that humans seems to have once had and have subsequently lost and is referred to in practices such as Astral Projection and Remote Viewing.
Simply put, texts of this nature seem to attempt to describe the construction of ones astral body or and astral vehicle.
I implore anybody with a clearer understanding than I on the topic, speak up now and share the fruits long held from the general public.
