Pisces To Aquarius

Humanity / Planet Earth (the electromagnetic bodies and psychological spectrums) are passing from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. 

Elementally this is from Water to Air. It can be romantically expressed as ‘breaking through the surface tension’, ‘to go from ocean to sky’, ‘from swimming to flying’, ‘from tidal currents to currents of winds’. 

There is a lot more to it than simply  ‘An Awakening’ which the very basic symbolism of transition suggests. 

Pisces is the alchemical Female principle (yielding). 

Aquarius is the alchemical Masculine principle (assertion). 

Pisces has a dualism. It is a shoal of fish, oriented around a nexus which they create. The nexus is a distillation of their collective, formed by contraction, where it trends toward singularity, often through conformity to pressure. Simultaneously, individuals take that cohesive distillation outward in all directions, an expansion, where it trends toward complexity and chaos. The rhythm and flux between contraction and expansion. 

Aquarius is quite different. It is less bound by the contraction toward singularity, it is further toward the expansive. 

"A fish, used to shoal-life, sprouts wings, breaks through the distorted reflection, flies far and alone to seek; its flock, a place to perch temporarily, taking only its self-knowledge through winds beyond its control." 

The ‘leaving the womb’, ‘leaving the nest’, symbolism can be compared with the change of puberty, where intellectually it is a breakthrough from heart-centred consciousness to awareness, of consequence, of existential limits, and of overcoming historic obstacles to our evolution. All this is in the form of; the external world outside of our power to change or comprehension, of each other, and from within. The density of the past which was both our stable foundation and our anchor has lifted. The only true guidance is that from within. 

It can be read to mean the conscious knowing of our intuition. It can also be read to mean the detachment from rigid thoughts. This dualism where uncertainty replaces dogma and calculation replaces emotional reaction, as the skills we will develop, occurs along with reliance on others who are as lost, as confused and as vulnerable to exploitation, as are we. 

The masculine aspect of Aquarius is that of projecting one’s own truth into the collective delusion. A process of sharpening our wits and the fluid precision by which we navigate, calculate, interpret. This weather we create by our flight is affected by times where there is little or nothing to be done about delusional collective cohesion. 

On its higher level it is the realm of knowing, of choosing the correct trajectory through storms and across new territories, and of the imagination becoming the language of the flock. The ancient spiritists associated it with the souls journey, both through this world and the place between worlds. Here we see reflected the light of self knowing as guidance, this time the mirror is not above, it is below. The subconscious to be revealed under the sun and stars, unfiltered and decompressed. We take what was into the future, only that which we rely on and can carry. This becomes our collective and individual way of being. 

Humanity has done its bonding and its healing. It is time for us to do our imagining. 

We have 2600 years of this cycle. Even if the other school of maths (which measures by forecast and shadow, not light) are correct, that we are at the peak and not the trough between cycles ending and beginning, we have 1300 years of this cycle left. Personally I believe this is the portal, not the summit. 

We are about to expand without density and contraction, where previously we were bound to cycles by density and the contraction. 

It’s energetic. It affects us on all planes of being. Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical. These are our bridges. The higher spiritual will shape up to it long before the material realm catches up.

Pisces To Aquarius + AI 

and scroll down the page (because the first part repeats this blog posts content, but then it develops), you will see why my use of AI has been useful to me, and I very much hope to others; by what AI has said to refine my first draft, which came straight out of my mind without being edited, which is informed by a lifetime of dedicated study to these matters; which, whether I do the work or not, is my soul purpose as a calendar priest of the reincarnated priesthood. 

And Now There Are Three

"What do you mean by 'the content has to be worth reading'? Can't I just 'art'?" 

I started a new blog to share some of my study research and research findings. It is a cultural and historic thing about spirituality and philosophy. In the process, I used AI to help with the research. It does save a lot of time. Having the information presentable in a way it can be read easily instead of my traditional method of having to copy by hand or photocopy bits from books in the library or buy those books myself, to create files of notes, most of which is for information that I can use it as compost for the roots of my ideas to take form and develop into the tree of a body of knowledge, my output. 

People read the book made from the logged and pulped tree. They eat its fruit. They don't want to invest years into researching boring stuff, neither do I much. What I love is the knowledge, which shapes my understanding of the world. What I know is that it all interrelates, so that there is an umbrella held together by the spines of all the different branches of knowledge. I am mixing metaphors. Put it all in one bag, shake it up, and it don't make much sense to nobody. There needs to be structure. 

Historically, we emerge from civilisations which structure their knowledge base in different ways. A lot of them come to the same conclusions, a lot of them tell the same stories. It has taken countless thousands of generations to put all that together and for a civilisation to emerge which can make it all available for us to absorb coherently. 

What we do not have is the longevity and patience, nor the focus, to do that. It requires Hermits who can hyperfocus and who have access to that information. The best our civilisation has produced so far for that end, is AI augmented research using the internet as a database. I for one am grateful to have that faculty, although I do waste the potential, most of the time, because I'm only human after all, but really I am doing my best. 

The last 3 posts I made here, they are a bit... glitchy? vague? out on a limb? sketchy? incohesive? I did that for a reason. I did that to show you what it is like when my mind is racing at speeds it can barely keep up with. Those blog posts are post-it notes, they're fragments of a greater work. They're insights into the murky, fertile swamp I wade through when my mind is free-associating between all the strands by which I weave the world of associative causality. Imagination, history, etymology, neurodiversity, multiversal synchronicities, spiritualism, practicality, themes and genres, etc and so on. 

Something happened while I was using AI to do the research. I made the new blog so I could post it in there, without contaminating this organic bag with AI generated stuff. It seems such a pity to do that to a blog site which prides itself on not being AI generated. So now there are two blogs. And then something else happened. There are now three blogs, because I discovered myself in a rare situation to be able to use the AI to analyse the organic blog. I am perhaps the only person who can legally do that, considering I own the copyright on the snakeappletree.blogspot content and on the snakeappletree moniker, logo, etc. If I don't do it, who else could? Like, coming up from the streets, I know for sure that people already have. That's not the point, though. 

So; now there are a trinity of snakeappletree blogs. 

The original, organic, long-running (since 2009) snakeappletree blog site, now known as the Vault, which I have not abandoned, else it would be called the Archive. It is not an AI generated blog site. 

Nekyia - Hermits Lantern is research and research-findings into historic stuff I am interested in. Currently; Spirituality, Egyptology and development of Western Philosophy. 

SAT-AI is a blog site conceptually about my relationship and interactions with AI. It covers a lot of the same topics as I have always been into, but unlike the snakeappletree blog, it does use AI. We can do a direct comparison, by holding these two things side by side. I also use SAT-AI as an exploration of the snakeappletree blog itself through the lens of an AI interacting with it. There is also gumpf about creating an AI persona of the snakeappletree caricature. 

Enjoy

DISCLAIMER: 

If anybody wants to criticise me for "going over to AI" it's not exactly that. I'm learning a new tool. I will not stop being a normal, traditional writer, doing things by hand. You wear synthetic fabric clothes and you use a petrol engine instead of a horse for transport. You eat food from plastic packets from a supermarket. The path of evolution is Taoist, in that it is the path of least resistance, the path of convenience. We have to fight for our arts. AI generated slop is just that, but you probably grew up watching cartoons and that ain't 'real' either. Your laughter was. Your fear and sadness when Artax died, certainly was real emotion. Just saying. As my dirty ex used to say, there's a good place for slop. 

AFTER-THOUGHTS: 

You know what I really should do, is a dedicated SnakeAppleTree Musical Journal site. I used to have a thing like that on Weebly before I forgot the passwords and Yahoo decided to delete the associated email account because I forgot its password and couldn't log in within the safe-zone of 12 of your earth months. I prefer to use blogger. For now you'll have to make do with the stuff available on Bandcamp, some of the albums can be directly accessed by clicking on the album cover pictures to the right of the screen, if you're browsing this on a desktop. I have no idea where you can find that if you're reading this on a mobile phone. You will probably need an app or something. 

Iraula

IRAULA

Iraula  (character name discovered from a typo of Ursula/Erzuli)

I-Ra/Ru-La 

Feather-Mouth-Grid (lambda)

Light-Speech-Shape

Rau is Ra and Ru compounded. 

Row: to argue / to steer a boat. Modern colloquial phonetic variants and associations. 

Ra : The Sun God, in pure centre

Ru : Mouth (female genital, receptacle, speech, 'that which issues forth', two-way gate) 

        Ru is not simply 'cup' because it is also 'spring' (or 'well') as source. It is a life-bringer. 

Feather : indicates Re as differentiated from Ra. Light, Thought. 

                Feather also symbolises Blade (air, mind) and Tree (body of knowledge)

Re : 'emanation of Ra' (modern “ray”), 'Light' symbolic 'knowing' 

        ('thought' in a particular sense of certainty along a flowline as opposed to querying)

Ra : Source itself (Life, God, Sol) 

IRAULA 

It’s a magical word, a spell for manifesting. 

"In and Of itself" 

It must be combined with other words 

to express what it is being manifested. 

The La component is Greco-Egyptian, not Aegyptian. It’s transitional from old world to new world. I base this on Greek being the foundation of modern Europe, through its Democracy and Monotheism, which led to the emergence of the European Hermetic tradition. 

La is an equivalent to Rw (Ru). In older form, Irula is Iruru, although one of the components has medieval-modernised to 'a grid' as opposed to 'receptacle/spring'. This is an important distinction. The order of these is also important. It is a Sey-Shaping, it creates a flow-line, a Ley-line. The word means 'Song-Line'. 

Feather-Mouth-Grid

Light-Vessel-Measure

Knowledge-Well-Form

POSTMODERN DEIFICATION

The Princess Irulan,  from Dune  (technically of Kaitan, not Shaitan) 

The Childlike Empress,  “Moon-Child”  from The NeverEnding Story 

Compounded : both innocence and wisdom. 

Irulan a political-theosophical reporter, possibly an unreliable narrator. 

MoonChild needed telling who she is, that the world may hold. 

Bastian Bux is Paul Maud’dib. The protagonist who reinvents himself through a device of being/becoming/wearing another protagonist (Atreyu is Atreides) which reshapes the world because of their actions and struggles, their journey. 

"We cannot un-see these connections."

"And neither should we."

Duality, Entwined 

(as the Auryn):

The Dragon of The World

The Dragon of Dream 

Singularity as Distillation:

The Dragon of the Desert

The Water of Life (is spice)

Then there is also:

Luck of Hope vs Fear of Void

(Falkor vs Gmork)

"An animal would pull its hand from the Box"

Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohaim

"The Poet cannot avert His Eyes"

Werner Herzog

Notes from the Auriglyphica of SnakeAppleTree

E : Flow on all three levels.

A : Balance as understood from 'the mountain' (refers to 'highest peak'). 

      Hidden Air symbol (Hermetic series). 

EA : "three flow lines into one balance 'as known from' the mountain" 

          alternately 3 'dharmic structuring' A 

          (physical manifestation, emotional squaring, imaginal-format, spiritual-harmony)

Ursula Le Guin (Erzuli-Guin) her World of EarthSea is called EA. She knew. 

L : marker and its shadow, which invokes a grid. A form of Lambda. 

Y : is the split into two paths, and choice between them. A form of Lambda. 

In translating from Egyptian Hieroglyphs;  Y is J is I

Same vowel; local-colloquial dialectic shifts develop distinct definitions over time. 

J : is serpent, journey, 

decision-maker and harmoniser (wise healer) who holds potentials; twin or two levels of meaning, it follows two paths, the aspirant and the settle; pure and pyre verses compromise with practicality. Discernment vs Absolutism. The weaving path vs sedentary path, hence Set / Seth the serpent. Seductive, sedative, because it is easier and more practical than the difficult higher way of enlightenment. But we weave both; because two snakes two flows flowing as one are each others light and learn from processing together each others shadow. The Auryn. 

This is the difference between a snake-girl and a death-maiden. A shadow-girl can be either, for she is both, and more. 

To give substance to a shadow-girl, to manifest her into the flesh. She is often invisible before the meeting. 

S: River, Folded Cloth (the connection is the weave which carves the world, on one side and the sediment process which creates the world, on the other side. One is an active principle, one is the subject of the active principle). 

Se : Say (to speak, to "tell it as it is") and Sey (to create the flow-line). Sey occupies a space alongside 'to See', it associates with Ley-line as a formative, where 'See' and 'Ley' express an extant (already existing). SongLines. 

I : direct connection and communion with the divine (Hermetic series). Pure flow. Sufi aspire to attain it. The Egyptian hieroglyph is 'feather' which means light and thought (knowledge, wisdom) of the highest harmonic. Feather is also interpreted as 'Tree' and 'Blade'. The context is relevant.  

“I is” : in Ra-Sta-Pha-Ri patois dialect concords with Hermetic series. 

N : 'The balanced path seen from the Mountain'. 

       Egyptian hieroglyph; seated figure (facing the start/dawn). 

       Often combined with directive descriptor.

As I write, 

I am in the calm space 

between early and late 

Autumn. 

The leaves are browning, falling. 

The deluge has not yet struck. 

I am in a warm bath 

with salt and lavender and olbas. 

Contemplating. 

Scribing, 

for that is my purpose. 

The past few years have heavily been 

about integration of shadow. 

A lot has changed in my life.

I completed a long cycle.

I healed.

I levelled up.
