I wrote in the last post that the kyballion came along more the 19th century that proclaimed it taught egyptian teachings. It teaches that Egypt was the central area of religion, which is actually not an argument without weight to it. It was noted that pythagoreas lived in Egypt and Babylon and learned mathematics from them, and there were secret fraternities such as the brotherhood of the serpent that existed who disseminated knowledge to mankind of spiritual progression. This book, the kyballion, teaches the mind of the all or the substantial reality of the universe, which was not an uncommon discussion in regards to greek philosophy. A main philosophical topic of Greeks was what the universe was composed of, 2500 years ago a man by the name of Demicritus existed and taught that atomos existed and was largely dismissed initially, until modern science verified that indeed there were atoms. This is overall depicted within the kyballion through the principle of the mind of the all. I have chosen Satan as a namesake of my primary God because of the aspect of the sanskrit language, one of the oldest languages known to man. In Sanskrit when you translate Sat to english you get true Unchangeable Essence. When you apply the word Tan multiple definitions arrive, and one that goes really well with Sat is trust and confidence. The earliest philosophies such as Greece, discussed the logic of figuring out the universe, and whether anything out there exists. In my former post I also mentioned that when you look to the original teachings and earliest philosophies you find parallel congruencies within general principles of comparison, like male and female within human perception. Another general principle is that the discussions and writings of gods and goddesses took place among humans which suggests that something, regardless of what that something was, happened. Spiritual texts get into more details and instructions on how to live life. It is my assumption that there was something that happened, and that initially among multiple cultures by various names, Satan, the true unchangeable essence, manifested in physical form as a human deity of either male or female or male and female. I have chosen to represent Satan by the figures Lucifer and Asteroth, as they are both related to the planet Venus. A book that came about in the 15th century or so was a book called the Book of Enoch. In this book there are beings described called the Watchers, and specific names are given. They instructed mankind on various topics in regards to Fire, Magic, makeup and clothing, and war. The general principle in regards to the watchers from the book of enoch and the egyptian book of the dead in comparison, tells us that we received instruction of some type from some type of being that existed in the beginning days of man. In modern Wicca, a popular author, Christpher Penzsack, says that the first humans were shamans with the first knowledge of how to live. It is evident through just plain logic, that somehow we learned what we learned either thinking on our own through trial and experience, or by instruction. I am more in favor of instruction because the earliest practices of man and the ideas of worship in early greek hymns and the egyptian book of the dead, were so vivid with detail, that it could not have been possible to figure things out so quickly through trial and error during the evolutionary process. It is practically evident through archeology and linguistics and practices such as paleantology, that the earth is much older than 4000 years as Christian cosmology generally teaches. The earth existed billions of years at least, and the fraction of time that man has existed is recorded as early as 4000 bce according to the gregorian calendar, and the earliest writings that have been uncovered on documents and palettes have been dated to about 3200 bce. Usually people will come accross the nermer palletes as the earliest texts found on a google search, and other items will show up like the epic of gilgamesh, and egyptian book of the dead. So from this general comparison we get the idea that writing came later than verbal speech. We learned how to talk first, and then learned how to write. We recroded things such as crops and livestock and took census information of citizenship, and took account of various processes like hunting, and legendary figures that made their ways into the stories of man. This was much after the initial verbal language development and physical body language communication.... Over time, what was then "new" as a form of writing, became corrupted from simple documenting crops and livestock and spiritual processes, to what we now have as religious interpretations of spiritual events. Every culture has their own opinion or interpretations of what happened in the earliest days, their own culture and significant teachings of how to live life. An interesting question is how did we get from such detailed records of simplistic processes such as census and livestock and crops information, to so many different interpretations and different instructions of how to perform basic things such as a funeral? Why are not all religions the same in instruction, if writing and recording evidence was essentially the case of what writing meant, why are there people now so confused about whether or not some type of god exists? People generally get to a point of having to rationalize that something is at least out there, because we exist, and how the initial individuals existed among man, whether groups or singular or double, we could not have existed from nothing, something must have existed in the beginning, and various religious practices like Shinto act as if deities do really exist. But there are so many different religions, who is right? Are any of them right at all? Yes and No. They are both wrong and right, and the biggest thing to notice is that religion has become depersonalized from individuality and personal levels of acceptance and instruction, to masses of people and modern literary releases in mass publications. A book that came about in the 12th centuries has helped me tremendously with this process. This book is called the Al Jilwah. It is a first person narrative of God, talking to the readers of the Al Jilwah, it says that "I show the straight ways without a revealed book." This has become somewhat of a motto of mine, in that all spiritual texts have become corrupted through either time and standard existence and innocent translation errors, or their are corrupt individuals out for power that wanted to interpret things for their own gain. In essence it is saying that practical experience is the best teacher, and this is more the character of the Satan that I believe in.... to be continued....
