By Zachary Selig THE RELAXATIA CODEXTM TX & PAU 1-018-75 Copyrights 2002 SPIRITUAL TRAINING My mentor in Mexico, the late Magic Realist painter Bridget Bate Tichenor, generously presented me with a gift for my twenty-first birthday in 1971 of her mother Sarah Gertrude (Vera) Arkwright Bate Lombardi’s Theosophical book-collection of the 19th and 20th Century Theosophical Society authors. When Bridget presented the gift of these brilliant British and American 19th and 20th century authors she stated, “England has always been disinclined to human nature, therefore be aware of the intellectual filter of Anglican Church psychological background of the authors that translated these 3,000 year old Sanskrit documents into English. The United States psychology is based on a British Protestant societal moral code and Latin America is founded upon Catholicism, which both suppress human nature.” Bridget discussed the philosophies in the books with me. Russian born Madame Helene Petrovna Blavatsky was an enigma of the nineteenth century in her founding of Theosophy in New York in 1875. Her extensive writings that began with The Secret Doctrine and Isis Unveiled provoked a frenzy of resentment that violated the sacred opinions of theologians with the introduction of Ancient Wisdom to the modern world. Blavatsky was an Occult Orientalist and a faithful disciple of Eastern Masters. No other non-Hindu woman has ever penetrated so far into the depths of Brahmanism. In the East she was called The Great White Yogini. She fitted together parts of occult lore as no other thinker in modern times has done, dividing with clarity relevancy from irrelevancy. She collated her golden thoughts in an eternal temple of wisdom that has been unprecedented. In her time she was deeply misunderstood in the Western world through a lack of Occidental understanding the Oriental Philosophies. She elaborately laid out the foundations of what became Theosophy supporting cosmogensis principles founded upon the Ancient Wisdom of a broad Ancient World Theologies. Much of her writing was channeled through a great Mahatama known as Master Morya, Ahazhulama, or the Blue Teacher, who is one of the world’s great souls and an Adept of the Trans-Himalayan Brotherhood, whose members are dedicated to the service of the spiritual needs of mankind. The Theosophists were historically the Neo-Platonists of Alexandria, Egypt, the Alchemists, and Cabbalists during the mediaeval ages, and much later the Universal Brotherhood or Theosophical Society founded in New York by Colonel H.S. Olcott and Mme. H. P. Blavatsky in 1875. The original Theosophical Society group split several times and today is divided into several schools that carry the name Theosophy. The Theosophists are to this day all great lovers of divine wisdom and truth of many global religions that originated in Ancient Wisdom Doctrines, which is reflected from a primarily Vedic cosmogenisis principle. At the end of the 19th Century, Blavatsky and many other teachers and authors from the formative group of Theosophists such as Annie Besant, Alice Bailey, Sir John Woodroffe, and Charles Leadbeater received their spiritual directives for Sanskrit translations and theological coding systems from Tibetan Mahatmas and Indian Nagas (Eastern terminologies for Wise Men, Great Souls, or Avatars who evolve after death into Ascended Masters). Vera Bate Lombardi had been first introduced to Theosophy in Paris in 1919 through her relationship with one of the early British Theosophical authors Charles W. Leadbeater, who became her clairvoyant and spiritual medium that she met through her close friendship with the poet Vita Sackville West in London. Leadbeater had given Vera spiritual readings lin Paris in 1920 regarding the future WW II and the manipulations that would occur in her professional life with Co Co Chanel as her muse and public relations liaison to members of Royal families from Britain, Europe, Russia, and Asia. He warned her that Chanel would use her for her own professional gain and try to betray England, along with the British Royal Family before she began to work for Chanel. Vera did not listen to his advice, as his predicated tragedies did unfold. Many of those great Theosophical books that Bridget Bate Tichenor gave me in 1971 that related to Chakra Science were later to become one of the referencing cornerstones for my creation of THE RELAXATIA CODEXTM. The earliest significant English translations of Sanskrit text regarding Chakra Science in regard to the principles of Tantra appeared in the first quarter of the 20th Century in the publications of the Theosophist Sir John Woodroffe in his Principles of Tantra (Madras, 1914), Shakti and Shakta (Madras, 1928) The Serpent Power (Madras, 1931), Introduction to and Tantra Shastra (Madras -1969). Bridget Tichenor taught me the principles of focusing my mind in Raja Yoga study. She also trained my mind-to-hand coordination by giving me Tantric painting exercises in which I was directed to paint squares, crescent moons, triangles, circles, hexagons, pentagons, double crosses, stars, swastikas, lotuses, and dots (the geometric and symbolic foundations of both Mandala and Yantra cosmograms) with three sable haired brushes in one continuous stroke. She said that a good Tantrika is empowered to create either benevolent or malevolent Yantras, but that evil thoughts placed in such designs hurt the designers who create them. Bridget trained me with other focusing and balancing techniques in drawing and painting that reflected the purpose of all schools of Yoga, which is to resolve human duality through unity. I continued my studies with Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga, and Japa Yoga with teachers in Sun Valley, Idaho in 1975-1976 where I first visually identified my Sprit and Soul. Bridget stressed my studies of Tantra. Tantra is defined in Sanskrit with what extends, continues, or multiplies the process of knowledge. Tantrism appeared as early as the 4th Century in India and later developed both in Hinduism and Buddhism from the mysterious pre-Aryan and pre-Dravidian tribes, who entered India from Persia carrying Ancient Sacred Knowledge that had originated in Egypt and Mesopotamia. Bridget discussed with me her theories of the great biblical flood of Noah, and the origins of the Caucasian (Aryan) race in what is today Armenia and Turkey in the Caucus Mountains, who historically formed the Aryan and Dravidian tribes that migrated East after the famed deluge occurring over the lands around the Black Sea. Tantrism is a highly developed psychological science that has shaped every Oriental doctrine in India, China, Tibet, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia. The earliest written records are in the Vedic Brahman Hindu Indian Upanishads – The Brihadaranyaka and the Chhandogya. Tantric doctrine is composed of The Seven Chakras with the Kundalini in a system of yoga. The aim of Tantric Yoga is to arouse the Kundalini in the first chakra at the base of the spine, and direct the flow of Kundalini up the central spinal column through the other five chakras to The Crown Chakra at the top of the head. The central spinal column has two other flanking and crossing channels that are called Nadis Channels that are the female white Ida on the left side of the Root Chakra and the male red Pingala on the right side of the Root Chakra. The aim of the Tantrika or student Tantra is to bring these two polarities together at the base of the spine at the entrance to the central spinal column in specific breathing techniques by alternating the flow of air through each nostril called Pranayama. The Pranayama activates the two Nadis Channels to push up the Kundalini through the seven chakras, awakening and transforming the psychology, physiological, and emotional aspects of the practitioner that each chakra represents. Durning my spiritual formative years of the 1970’s, Bridget trained me with my early Tantric Yoga practices that later lead me to investigate the Kundalini process within myself. She stressed that I learn the ancient Mystery School foundations of ritual magic, divine assistance, and mystical enlightenment that all religions are concerned with in postmortem security. I studied the many books she gave me and followed her directives with great insights and that successfully raised the Kundalini, but the Kundalini experience with an application to healing was what I yearned for. There were the three years from ages twenty-six to twenty-nine 1976-1979 that I spent working in the Healing Arts with powerful Tarascan Indian Nahualli Shamans in the Sierra Madre above Zihuatanejo, Mexico. The wise Nahuallis taught me that the purpose of life and death was for the purification of the Soul, and that sacrifices of righteousness for purification were necessary to ultimately and permanently connect with God for the Spirit Body to direct will, knowledge, courage, and silence into an individual’s human consciousness. The sometimes sad and painful tests and trials of individuals enabled those chosen Initiates of Ancient Mystery Knowledge to help support, comfort, service, care, and love others both in life and afterlife. They said that part of God’s plan is that each incarnation be veiled in the forgetting of the former life, in order that an individual learn from a clear perspective a present consciousness. They focused upon the point that both human incarnations on Earth and Spiritual underworld purgatory suffering of all Souls were to diminish karma; but, that a Spirit and its Soul should never sacrifice its identity or purpose, nor surrender unbalancing dispersions of Light to anything that was not of a co-generating Light. The Universal Laws of Abundance was stressed. Where as deprivation consciousness, portrayed in the guise of ‘sacrifice,’ was looked upon as a Mosaic, Christian, or Isalmic belief to subordinate the masses for financial control through a ‘fear/shame/guilt belief’ that is completely destructive to Spiritual wholeness. My esoteric studies continued on with a few other great mystics scattered throughout the world, and each stage of development left me hungry for a deeper desire to comprehend life's mysterious questions: Who am I, Where did I come from, why am I here, and where am I going? A profound experience occurred when I worked for a three-year period from 1976-1979 in the Pacific Sierra Madre of Western Mexico with a hierarchy of Tarascan Indian Nahualli (shamans) who governed a larger group of Purepecha Curenderos (healers). They trained me to heal through my hands, clairvoyantly diagnose the infirmities of those who came to their clinic, and learn complex herbal formulas for prescriptive. Many of the people who came to the clinic were elderly, deformed, infirmed, or ailing with some chronic or rare disease that had been declared incurable by medical doctors. The Nahuallis. in most cases. were able to eradicate pathological disorders that ranged from rheumatoid arthritis to blindness, paralysis, cancer, tumors, and epilepsy. The investigative diagnostics for a cure that I was trained to perform on patients were sometimes horrifying experiences for me as a novice healer. There were in most cases a form of spiritual possession in which I would see and analyze the negative entity that had attached itself to an individual’s shadow. During that period of internship, I was always in the presence of one of the Nahualli Shamans, who directed my visionary diagnostics and then took my findings to the other shamans for a complete analysis and prescription. I undertook arduous preparatory cleansings and initiations that introduced me first to my Spirit and its Soul that are attached to the physical body. The Soul is the divine essence of our being that is immortal, and it resides within both the Body and the Spirit. The Body disintegrates in time, and the Spirit Body takes the Soul beyond our physical reality into its home first within the solar dimension where it is directed by Divine Intelligence for evolution, which may involve either purgatory, re-incarnation, or ascension. The Spirit is the divine intelligence that has a form of a luminous golden-white body, the ancients called the Light Body’, which exists approximately 60 feet above the physical body. The Spirit is connected to the physical body by a shining cord from the physical solar plexus through the feet of the Spirit. The Soul is at home within both the Physical Body and the Spirit Body for its lessons in life while on the Earth Plane. The Nahuallis defined human existence to me as being in two parts, the Tonal and the Nahual. The Tonal is the world structure made by the mind or ‘mental filter’ based upon belief systems and can sometimes be used to define the world of form or the material plane that is established by each human’s ‘shadow’ known as the Tonalli or ‘spirit-familiar’. The Tonalli determines the human ego and therefore defines the mind in relationship to form. The Nahual is the mysterious aspect of the human Soul that is guided by the Nahual or primary spirit guide that is the form of an animal. There are five initiations that transform a human being’s Tonal that give access to the Nahual. These five steps or accomplishments pertain to the five lower chakras that represent the physical body of man. In essence, this is a 5-step process of mastering the distortions or illusion created through the mental and emotional filters of the mind human through raising awareness in order to gain access to the higher planes of spiritual consciousness. I was shown the shadow or ‘spirit familiar’ of my Soul called a Tonalli (Nahuatl) or Kina (Maya), and my Nahual (Nahuatl) or Uay (Mayan), the animal counterpart to my soul in the Spirit Body or K’inan (Mayan), which is the primary Spiritual guide and protector. I was later prepared to receive my other Spiritual Guides, who worked through a spirit-filtering system established by my Ancestral Guides by my Tonalli and Nahualli to keep myself protected from disincarnate entities of a malevolent nature. I would ask my elder teachers to please explain the dynamics of both my healing and psychic faculties. They answered that all I had to do was surrender to The Great White Light, to trust that Light, and that one-day I was to bring the wisdom of the Light to the world. They said I had to complete the mission of bringing that Light through myself into experiences, which I would then use as teaching tools to raise consciousness. What did they mean? Where were the guidelines? What was I supposed to do with the awareness and sensitivity that had expanded my consciousness so rapidly through the work done with them? How could I control the intense Light that I constantly felt in my body? The visions and insight were overwhelming. I had not been informed of how to direct the energy flow for healing in any specific format. So, the only course to take would be to locate information from those cultures that had well established and documented formulas for Spiritual evolution based upon the chakric system. I searched for answers through my mentor the late Bridget Bate Tichenor, who directed me to re-read the English translated ancient Sanskrit and Pali texts from her mother Vera Bate Lombardi’s book collection that she had given to me in earlier years as pertained to my kundalini awakening experiences with the Nahualli Spiritualists. She felt that the ancient Mayan city of Chichenitza was thousands of years older than 19th and 20th Century archaeological dating, and the great empire had extended its influence to every part of the world, exercising great cultural power over many nations. Bridget revealed to me that that the name Maya and the vestiges of its language, art, religion cosmological, historical traditions from the ancient culture is discovered in many countries from America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. She believed that there were many wise men from these distant and remote parts of the world, which came to Chichenitza to consult the H-menes and receive spiritual training with Mystery School solar religion’s initiations pertaining to the k’inan or Spirit Body. The name ‘Maya’ always is attached to power and wisdom. She pointed out the numerous bearded Caucasian men that she felt represented the Assyrians (Afghans of today) were carved in stone formats of the Mayan Nation that extended from Veracruz, Yucatan Peninsula, Oaxaca, and beyond Guatemala as far south as El Salvador Bridget exposed to me the similarities in the Sanskrit words kundalini and chakra in relationship to the Yucatan Peninsular Mayan dialect words kultalilni and chacla, which have the same definition. She also related the story of Buddha Sakyamuni being bitten by a seven-headed cobra serpent and the parallel Mayan story of Kukulcan’s initiation during his first incarnation with the seven-headed rattlesnake serpent named Chapat in the Yucatan, which symbolized the kundalini awakening through the seven chakras. Bridget said, “The Mayan Kukulcan and Nahua Quetzalcoatl mythology represented the Mesoamerican belief that humans are the integration of the seven forces of Solar Light within the chakric system that spiral as a rattlesnake serpent infinitely towards a solar, galactic, and universal connection with God.” Bridget continued, “Quetzalcoatl for the Nahuas, Kukulcan for the Mayas, and Gucumatz for the Quiche Mayas was the pre-emanate founding deity of Mesoamerican creation mythology. Quetzalcoatl, Kukulcan, or Gucumatz mysteriously appeared in Mesoamerica as a tall, white skinned Caucasian, blonde, blue-eyed, and bearded priest from an Atlantic mother culture continent in the East that had been destroyed by volcanic eruptions called Tlapallan, Tollan, Atzlan, and Alua. Mesoamerican mythology states that he founded the Mesoamerican religions, taught them the arts of divination and civilization, and disappeared and reappeared in five world successions through incarnations of him. The name Quetzalcoatl originates from the Nahuatl words; quetzal, a rare exotic bird of iridescent green color, and coatl, serpent, which means ‘plumed serpent’ Kukulcan with the Mayas was represented as a serpent with two heads that symbolized Venus both as the morning and evening star, denoting Kukulkan’s faculties as a mediator between night and day, good and evil, and as force facilitating transcendence of opposites or dualities within human nature. It is interesting here to note that the goal of the fiery kundalini as it makes its serpentine journey up the five lower chakras, is to unit human polarities in the sixth center of the Brow Chakra of man. Quetzalcoatl’s original teachings were that of a wise and good ruler who taught the Ancient Wisdom School principles of Chakra Science through the principles of a microcosmic and macrocosmic universal view of kundalini in death and resurrection, sin and redemption, and the transfiguration of a human into a God.” Bridget explained to me, that from her knowledge, “Quetzalcoatl arrived from Atlantis with a group of colonists called Quetzales, who brought the advanced sciences and arts to the Americas.” She said, “The Aztecs theology and the few remaining records distorted the representation of the original Nahua/Toltec, Maya, and Quiche mythology of Quetzalcoatl in their declining civilizations before the Spanish Conquest, and lost the historical data of Quetzalcoatl’s immigration to the Americas when later translated. So, the Quetzalcoatl mythology evolved into one of the creation myths by the Quiche Maya that are reflected in the Popul Vuh of the serpent-bird like dragons that were covered with green and blue feathers that were the gods of both the sea and the sky.” Bridget stated, “Both Quetzalcoatl the man and the myth were based in facts now lost through both the Mesoamerican civilizations’ decline before the advent of Spanish colonization and through the colonization’s destruction of records.” There are many Quetzalcoatl representations throughout Mesoamerica, but the one specifically that relates to Ancient Chakra Science and the kundalini principle of the regeneration and resurrection of life force is called the Cobra de Capella, and Ac-la-Chapa, which was the seven-headed Mayan Naga that is identical to that of Asia. The seven heads represent the Seven Planes of Consciousness, the Seven Chakras, the Seven Rays, and essentially that which encompasses the Kundalini principle of all living forms. The Seven Headed Naga is carved in numerous Mayan, Toltec, Mixtec, Olmec, and Aztec sites, but it is prolific in Chichenitza where Mayan Kundalini Science flourished most recently during the Toltec reign of power. One night at Bridget Tichenor’s ranch Contembo in Ario de Rosales, Michoacan, Mexico in January 1971, Bridget related to me a story her mother Vera Arkwright Bate Lombardi had told her. Vera had a friend in Paris that she had met through the Rockefeller family, who was a French Archaeologists that traveled to the Mexican state of Veracruz in 1920. The archaeologist had been contracted by Standard Oil Company to work as a liaison with the Mexican government to investigate the Olmec sites that covered rich oil deposits before any oil drilling could begin. During this trip, a local Indian guide had informed the archaeologist of the existence of the venomous Quetzalcoatl feathered flying serpent that was thought to be myth or extinct, but was said by the local Indians to be very much a living creature. Bridget said that Vera's friend had been diverted from his work with the oil. He was taken on horseback, then in canoes up the mouth of a river that opened into the Gulf of Mexico into the low mountains in search of place called Tulan-Zuiva or the “Seven Sacred Caves”. Mayan legend spoke of Tulan – Zuiva as being the first Atlantean depositories of ancient records in the Americas by Quetzalcoatl. The fabled Tulan-Zuiva was to have been the first cave-temple of Quetzalcoatl and his priesthood, which scholars have positioned to be either in Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan, or Guatemala. The expedition failed to discover the sacred caves, but it was on this trip that Bridget revealed the story of Vera's archaeologist friend seeing the Quetzalcoatl creature flying very low above their canoe on the river in the dawn hours. Bridget said Vera’s friend's description was that they saw a bird-like creature with a strange combination of a head the shape of Camarand bird that was spread out flat like a viper serpent. The neck was two feet long covered in dense, short, brilliant, white, and tufted green-blue iridescent plume-like longer feathers. The swan-shaped body had long broad wings with hand-like claws on the tips. Bridget said that Vera's friend described the animal’s neck retracting into a bizarre almost human curvature when it landed on a low tree at the river’s edge. It looked like a bird with a large snake shaped head that resembled both Egyptian and Chinese snake-headed deities and appeared more dragon-like than anything she could describe. Bridget had said that Vera’s archaeologist friend had discussed the story shortly after the sighting of the Quetzalcoatl animal to the British author Colonel James Churchward in New York, who later wrote in generalities about the expedition and the Quetzalcoatl animal in his “Sacred Symbols of Mu”. My great teacher and friend Mexican artist Pedro Friedeberg guided me simultaneously with Bridget through a labyrinth of ‘esoterica’ that included the world of a profoundly learned Mystery School student, Edward James. Another Quetzalcoatl sighting was described to me in the 1970’s by Bridget’s cousin Edward James that took place circa 1949 near his home “Las Pozas” close to the village of Xilitla in the jungled mountains of the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi five hours west of Tampico near the Gulf of Mexico. When I was 16 at school at the University of the Americas in Mexico City, my professor Mesoamerican Anthropologist Alexander Von Wuthenau had many similar stories that supposedly had occurred over many areas of tropical Mexico and Central America in which people were bitten and died instantly. Alexander had meet Vera’s archaeologist friend in Germany at a museum in Berlin after the incident had occurred and later confirmed the story with Bridget in Mexico. The elusive Quetzalcoatl is seen on extremely rare occasions in the tropical zones of Mexico all the way to Bolivia, but thought to be extinct by natives and a myth by scientists. These great experiences throughout my field studies and apprenticeships in Mesoamerican Sacred Science were fulfilled quests that came form gifted teachers, who introduced me to a rarefied world of spiritual knowledge. THE CREATION OF THE RELAXATIA CODEXTM Later, I established THE RELXATIA CODEXTM in art and literature from 1979 - 1984 to gain an exacting knowledge of the Solar Kundalini and psycho-spiritual phenomena I had experienced in Mexico, as I could not find a complete visual and literary Chakra color-coding documentation in existence to compare my revelations. I found it necessary to paint and write this lost wisdom for future generations. THE RELAXATIA CODEXTM has been the foundation for my paintings, books, animated film, web properties, and inventions. My Lucumi initiations occurred much later over 8 years in the Caribbean and US. KUNDALINI 'Kundalini' is derived from the Sanskrit verb 'kund', which means 'to burn', the verb 'kunda', which means a bowl or a hole, and the noun 'kundala', which means a coil, a spiral, or a ring. Out of all of these derivatives, the word 'Kundalini' is developed giving creative femininity to 'the Fire', the latent supreme source of a vast thermal energy not only in human beings, but also in every atom of the universe. It is the life force of both the corporal and spirit forms. The mythological origins of the Kundalini or the Serpent Fire, that literally means the 'life force' of Chakra Science, can be found in the creation myths of East Indian, Mayan, Egyptian, and Yoruba history. The creation myth in the first century BC East Indian "Manava-dharma-sastra" states, "The visible universe in the beginning was nothing but darkness. The great, self-existing Power dispelled the darkness, and appeared in His entire splendor. He first produced the waters; and on them moved Narayana, the divine spirit." The Hindu God Narayana is the Naga Serpent Dragon who embodies this divine essence known as Kundalini. The Yoruba Orisha Oshumare is the Rainbow Serpent, who connects heaven and earth. The Mayan God Kukulcan and Aztec God Quetzalcoatl are both representational of Kundalini. SOLAR KUNDALINI HISTORY Ancient Egypt and Sind, India were colonies of Nubia-Ethiopia that founded the pre-historic Ancient Mystery Schools in antiquity that later developed into the Pharoanic Egyptian and Vedic religions, which gave birth to Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. RELAXATIA is Solar Kundalini, a Spirit or Light Body ascension paradigm of the chakra system, correlated to the Sun that originated in Nubian-Ethiopian antiquity, which pre-dates the Vedic/Tantric Hindu and Buddhist Kundalini philosophies existing in India and Tibet that do not incorporate solar applications for Kundalini activation. The Solar Kundalini born in Africa spread throughout the pre-historic world to create the great solar religions of Egypt, Babylonia, Peru, Mexico, Europe, Scandinavia, Polynesia, and Australia. The constitution of the human spirit, the vital life-force along the human spinal cord (Sekhem in Egypt and Kundalini in India), the psychic vortexes on the spinal cord (The Seven Uraeuses in Egypt and the Seven Chakras in India), the immortality of the soul, reincarnation and the law of Cause and Effect were founded in the Nubia-Ethiopia cradle of civilization. The RELAXATIA Solar Light Body Formula is supported by a number of Ancient Kundalini/Chakra Sciences that were documented in Hindu Tantric scriptures that were derived from the opposing Aryan/Indian Vedic Brahmin schools of Northern India. The edited Brahmin Vedic Kundalini philosophy was founded upon an original and complete Kundalini model brought to the Dravidians (Nagas and Tamils) in Sind, India from Abyssinia, Africa over 8,000 years ago, predating the Aryan invasions of India. The Aryans conquered these tribes and assimilated their Kundalini knowledge. The 3,500-year-old Vedic Kundalini/Chakra oral lexicon, established later in the 'Upanishads' literal texts of the Vedas in the 9th century BC, and then edited and coded visually in yantra formulae by Tantric Schools in the 'Tantra Shastra,' has now dwindled for the most part into a mainstream babble of partial, diluted, or unrelated folkloric 'New Age' or 'Self Help' Kundalini philosophies for mass consumerism. The Kundalini and Chakra Science that has survived in text and visual formulae are small fragments of the original Egyptian Solar Kundalini lexicon that only exists today in Hindu Tantric and Buddhist documentation. Solar activation of the Kundalini occurs through the Chakras or 'Cakras' in the Physical and Spirit Bodies from an application of the light spectrum generated by the Sun. Osiris, Moses, Jesus, Buddha, Kukulkan, Quetzalcoatl, and many great world avatars, teachers, and prophets were taught this sacred knowledge. WHAT DIFFERENTIATES THE RELAXATIA CODEXTM My deepest concern in the documentation of my discovery of a lost Kundalini lexicon was to provide a culturally absent blueprint with a set of tools for the student of Chakra Science to ground the Soul of the Spirit or Light Body into the Mind and Physical Body to become conscious here on Earth. Most existing Kundalini and Chakra philosophies approach the subject from a diversified Hindu approach, which is based upon extrapolations from hundreds of sometimes opposing East Indian schools of Kundalini theory. This fact is reflective from the evolutionary divisions within Hinduism. A large amount of what exists in the commercial and publicly accessible academic worlds in visual formats are not applied with specific color standards based upon ancient Vedic design and color-coding, so the student is left in perpetual confusion as to what the Chakras really look like and what makes up their true color composition. As an example, the Chakra color-coding of a good number of contemporary Chakra theories are completely wrong, as these systems place the color ray that activates the Chakra as the color composition of the Chakra itself. This is a fallacy in many Chakra theories that gets lost in the translation or abbreviation from the original tenets of the Vedic and Tantric Hindu formats and is misguiding to the student. Herein, is one of the Chakra coding differentiations that are crystal clear in my discoveries revealed in THE RELAXATIA CODEXTM. THE RELAXATIA CODEXTM Chakra and Ray visual/literary codex with its secret keys to unlock and direct the application of the light spectrum of the Sun to activate the Chakra's and Kundalini within both the Physical and Spiritual bodies is non-existent in published theories. THE RELAXATIA CODEX’STM approach provides a guideline for the student to establish individuated identities, versus generalized and sometimes detached Nirvana ideals of naturally dualistic human identities, which are taught by many teachers in both the Hindu Orthodox and Buddhist Heterodox Kundalini philosophies. THE RELAXATIA CODEX’STM formulas can be aligned through the time worn truths of light, color, sound, and form to awaken the human Spirit for its individuated divine purpose and fulfillment. The identification of each individual's raison d'etre is something that can only be based upon the personal human experience itself. Through my spiritual guidance, I create radiant icons in painting and film that are consecrated talismans executed in a meditative state that liberates the viewer from the rational reactions of comprehension, evaluation, and appreciation. The effect is a state of rapture between the body, mind, soul, and the divine. This epiphany encourages spiritual, mental, and physical health, clearing the way to further growth and enlightenment. These talismans project the authentic capacity to sit still in contemplation of beauty and focus, and are not for superficial decoration or collection. When one’s mind and body relax, an individual has no choice but to become healthy. My magical talismans represent the archetypes within the nature of the universe that are reflective in humankind and are prepared for definitive balancing purposes. The icon empowers the viewer with a specific focus of the imbedded universal forces represented by the well-calculated design, colors, and symbols in the painting or film to establish the desired harmonics to be attracted in Spirit, Mind, and Body. SPIRITISM Spiritism is the practice of invoking the Dead specifically for diagnostic and prescriptive purposes that are beneficial, along with the prioritization of spiritual evolution being paramount. Spiritualism is the demonstration of 'spirit phenomena' by a medium to exhibit psychic abilities. The French educator, author, and scientist Allan Kardec developed Spiritism in Paris, France in 1857. Kardec was deeply influenced by the early 19th century Napoleonic expeditions to Egypt and the subsequent Prussian Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsiu's translation of the Egyptian "Book of the Dead" in 1842. There are specific guidelines in Spritism that follow the same ancient Egyptian Mystery School teachings from "The Book of the Dead", which can produce unparallel qualities in communications between the world of spirits and the material world. Spiritism spread throughout Europe, England, the United States, and influenced greatly Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Today, the majority of Brazilians, Cubans, and Puerto Ricans believe or practice some form of Spiritism. Spiritism maintains that each human being is assigned a group of enlightened spirits known as 'spirit guides' that act as guardians. Some spirits may be known, such as deceased family members or friends, but many are previously unknown. There are spiritual levels that reflect degrees of spiritual evolution and each spirit like each living person is uniquely positioned with a distinct mission and soul-progression. The highly evolved spirits can descend into lower planes, but the lower spirit entities cannot ascend into the higher spheres. The guardian spirits or 'protectors' require communication and offerings, as in the age-old practices of Ancestor Worship, to acquire help with both human and spiritual problems. ANCESTOR WORSHIP The goal of Ancestor Worship is to ensure the ancestors' and other spirits continued well-being and positive disposition towards the living and to ask for special favors or assistance. For 97 percent of the world's population, ritual offerings and prayers to deceased blood relatives and other spirits are an integral part of everyday life. Most people in the Western world were raised with Jewish and Christian traditions, which proscribe Ancestor Worship and are skeptical of it. Whereas, the majority of the world with people of Eastern cultures such as Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Tibetans, along with segments of the populations of South America, Africa, Cuba/Caribbean, Mexico, Indigenous US, Indonesia, Bali, Mongolia, Polynesia, Iceland, Eastern Baltics, and New Guinea seek guidance through their offerings of respect to their ancestors. The dynamics and resulting energy in communication with the world of Dead enables the knowledge that life is a continuum and the sensory experience of the non-linear side of reality. What is known as the Akashic records, all knowledge that has existed in the Universe, is accessed through the world of the Dead that exists in the etheric sphere of Akasha. This spiritual realm of Akasha is the fourth dimension above and adjacent to the physical third dimension. This close proximity of the spirits to humankind enables clear communication with quick and powerful manifestations. The practice of Ancestor Worship is quite simple. An honorary ritual of communication with the Dead is composed of two basic ingredients: respect and love. LUCUMI HISTORY The Afro-Cuban Lucumi theology was founded upon the ancient 8,000-year-old monotheistic African Ifa religion, and has been the New World repository of the West African Yoruba Royal Priesthood’s secrets and mysteries that was brought to Cuba from Nigeria beginning in 1515 AD for the Spanish colonial slave market. Lucumi is a philosophy of enlightenment that is aligned with ethical standards and the development of good character to fulfill human destiny. Destiny is ascertained through the benefit of exacting divination methodologies and prescriptive that involves ritual and sacrifice in order to create order, strength, balance, harmony, and inner peace in human relationship to the universe. When a person experiences imbalance, he or she consults one of the oracles through a Lucumi Priest or Babalao to find out the cause of the imbalance, and an appropriate remedy. This involves some sort of offering or sacrifice to the Ancestral Spriits or Orishas with rudimentary advice to regain the lost balance. There are three Lucumi oracles. The first oracle of Ifa consists of a body of 256 sacred stories that a Babalawo reads by either casting a small chain with eight concave oval or round pieces of leather, coconut, or calabash rind attached to it. The Babalawo obtains a configuration that indicates which Oddu of the oracle of Ifa is to be given to the inquirer. The second oracle is the caracoles or Mediloggun Oracle with 16 letras (Oddus) used by the Lucumi Priest/Priestess, who has been initiated with Dillogun. The third method is the Obi or coconut-casting system. Anyone either initiated or not may cast the coconuts. Depending upon the number of pieces that fall with the white side facing up, a total of five possible answers emerge, "yes", "no", "maybe - cast again", "definitely", and "consult a more complex oracle". The Lucumi culture and its philosophy of enlightenment are aligned with ethical standards and the development of good character to fulfill human destiny. Destiny is ascertained through the benefit of exacting divination methodologies and prescriptive that involves ritual and sacrifice in order to create strength, balance, harmony, and inner peace. Lucumi is an initiatory culture and its core secrets are never written or revealed to outsiders; such experiential wisdom is only gained through the spiritual evolvement and awakening that occurs via strategic stages of initiations. Such secrets are first ‘received’, second ‘felt’, and third ‘realized’ before external manifestations occur. There is no such thing as simply ‘believing’ or thinking in something to manifest an optimum result. The power of such positive thinking theory is only effective when the individual is clear of distortions, in integrity, and truly balanced. Anything else is mental brainwash or wishful thinking, as there are no shortcuts in spiritual evolution. Such practices are essential to establishing a positive attitude or behavior, but are in no way a means to reaching a complete and sustainable objective. There are rudimentary steps that must be achieved first to support such beliefs for actualization to occur from a solid foundation. The Lucumi initiates are prohibited from converting others and honor all faiths; as to do so otherwise is considered taboo and disrespectful. The study of the Lucumi involves the use of the universal energies in the 'law of attraction' through specific rituals and procedures that involve defined steps to identify a problem or good fortune within the context of Ifa divination. Unlike Tarot, I Ching, Astrology, and other divining formats, Ifa and Dillogun divination informs what is to happen if nothing is done to change a circumstance. Not only is the future foretold, but also an opportunity to change it is prescribed with an exact application in a precise manner that targets an optimum result. Lucumi is a 'feeling' relationship with a myriad of archetypes or forces within nature that extend from one supreme God known as Orishas that is nonlinear, versus a 'thinking' relationship that is linear. Carl Jung was one of the first European’s to develop a parallel psychological theory to that of the ancient Yoruba with his definition of universal archetypes and applications to the ego with the its integration to the psyche in union, which results in true human individuation. In general, it is only through the sensory experience of the feeling and expression of positive energy disbursement arrived at through a connection with a specific archetype or Orisha that one can reach equilibrium with negative feelings or situations. The influx of Yoruba slaves, who carried the principles of Ifa in their entrapped lives, continued to be transported to the New World by the British slave trade until the end of the late 19th century. The majority of the Yoruba Ochossi sect was transferred to Cuba from 1820 – 1849, removing the great repositories of Ifa secrets from Nigeria. While Brazil received vast numbers of Yoruba Priests as slaves, the Royal Yoruba High Priests were sent to Cuba during the Ochossi sect market transference. The Caribbean and Brazilian Yoruba slaves were forced to hide their Ancient Mystery School religion behind a mask of Catholicism with Christian Saints synchronized to a pantheon of deities under one supreme God. Most African slaves that arrived in the United States were spiritually raped of their animistic religions altogether by the intolerant ruling Protestant Church and government that had no saints to assimilate to or camouflage beliefs, forcing massive Christian conversions. Louisiana was one exception in the US, due to French and Spanish colonialism with its Catholicism and racial integration. Many of the Louisiana slaves were Dahomey and Fon, and not Yoruba. The Yoruba religion has its origins in prehistoric Nubia-Ethiopia over 18,000 years ago, followed by an early Osiris religious settlement in Abydos, Egypt 8,000 years ago. All of humanity originated in Africa and migrated to other parts of the world over 40,000 years ago from the Twa people. The dynastic culture of Nubia later became Kush in the 4th millennium BC, the land of the Black Pharaohs that ruled Egypt between 1,700 BC and 1,500 BC. The Kushites began to migrate their Egyptian culture around 1,000 BC, as a result of religious and civil wars between Upper and Lower Egypt, to colonize and mix with other migratory Saharan tribes in Ife, Nigeria in order to guard and save the sacred esoteric knowledge of Egypt. The Greco-Roman invasions, followed by the Byzantine Coptic Christian Church’s dominance, and then later the Islamic religious wars forced the extinction of Pharoanic Religion in Egypt. By the 11th century AD, these waves of Egyptian and Saharan migrants had assimilated to establish the Royal Yoruba patrilineal descent groups in Nigeria. The Yoruba were modeled upon the ancient Egyptian Osiris religion and government, preserving one of the world’s oldest religions in veils of initiated secrecy. ...click here to schedule an appointment. |
