Stephen Colbert Sacred geometry As worldview and cosmology[edit] The belief that God created the universe according to a geometric plan has ancient origins. Plutarch attributed the belief to Plato, writing that "Plato said God geometrizes continually" (Convivialium disputationum, liber 8,2). In modern times the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss adapted this quote, saying "God arithmetizes".[2] At least as late as Johannes Kepler (1571–1630), a belief in the geometric underpinnings of the cosmos persisted among scientists.

Myths-Dreams-Symbols-Shadow The first step is taken towards self-realization {individuation} when you meet your 'shadow'. This is so called because it is the 'dark' side of your psyche, the parts of yourself that you have not previously brought into the light of consciousness. It is, for this reason, the 'primitive' (undeveloped or underdeveloped) side of your personality. It is also the 'negative' side of your personality, insofar as it is the opposite of whatever you have hitherto regarded as making a positive contribution to your well being. In dreams your shadow may be represented either by some figure of the same sex as yourself (an elder brother or sister, your best friend, or some alien or primitive person) or by a person who represents your opposite (and of the same sex). Cinderella is a shadow figure. Other symbols of the encounter with the shadow include the conversion motif. Both the ritual of baptism and the many Flood myths may be sen as the first stage of the individuation process.
A Timothy Leary for the Viral Video Age - Ross Andersen Meet Jason Silva, the fast-talking, media-savvy "performance philosopher" who wants you to love the ecstatic future of your mind. I want to introduce you to Jason Silva, but first I want you to watch this short video that he made. It will only take two minutes, and watching it will give you a good idea if it's worth your time to read the extensive interview that follows: If you ever wondered what would happen if a young Timothy Leary was wormholed into 2012, complete with a film degree and a Vimeo account, you have your answer: Jason Silva. If Silva, who was born in Venezuela, seems to have natural screen presence, it's because he's no stranger to media; he worked for six years as a host at Current TV before leaving the network last year to become a part-time filmmaker and full-time walking, talking TEDTalk. Like Leary, Silva is an unabashed optimist; he sees humankind as a species on the brink of technology-enabled transcendence. Silva: Definitely. Right. You can even go beyond that.

Title PageContents I. Excerpt I. II. I. III. I. Quest of the Soul: The Eleusinian Mysteries by William A. Savage Quest of the Soul: The Eleusinian Mysteries By William A. Savage [From a talk given at Theosophical Library Center, Altadena, CA, May 27, 2005.] In the mysteries that obtain among the Greeks, lustrations hold the first place. The Eleusinian mysteries were the most famous in ancient Greece. The rites at Eleusis were built around legends of the great mother Demeter and her daughter Persephone. Persephone, playing in a meadow, came across a large and wondrous narcissus. Demeter, filled with grief, was angry. Later Metaneira gave Demeter her baby to rear. Finally Zeus dispatched Hermes, guide of the souls of the dead, to entreat Hades to release Persephone. Demeter, one of the twelve Olympian gods, represented the fruitfulness of the earth. *On Images, fragments 6, 7 Telesterion remains at Eleusis The site of the mysteries, Eleusis, was a coastal town just west of Athens where the Cephisus River pours into the Aegean Sea. It is unclear how frequently the Eleusinian mysteries were celebrated.
Eleusinian Mysteries Votive plaque depicting elements of the Eleusinian Mysteries, discovered in the sanctuary at Eleusis (mid-4th century BC) The rites, ceremonies, and beliefs were kept secret and consistently preserved from a hoary antiquity. The initiated believed that they would have a reward in the afterlife.[5] There are many paintings and pieces of pottery that depict various aspects of the Mysteries. Since the Mysteries involved visions and conjuring of an afterlife, some scholars believe that the power and longevity of the Eleusinian Mysteries came from psychedelic agents.[6] Mythology of Demeter and Persephone[edit] The Mysteries are related to a myth concerning Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and fertility as recounted in one of the Homeric Hymns (c. 650 BC). According to the myth, during her search Demeter traveled long distances and had many minor adventures along the way. Mysteries[edit] Participants[edit] To participate in these mysteries one had to swear a vow of secrecy. Secrets[edit]
