Souls never die, but always on quitting one abode pass to another. All things change, nothing perishes. The soul passes hither and thither, occupying now this body, now that... As a wax is stamped with certain figures, then melted, then stamped anew with others, yet it is always the same wax. So, the Soul being always the same, yet wears at different times different forms. -Pythagoras

The number 3 holds the meaning of harmony, wisdom and understanding but also represents the holy trinity in many cultures, where it’s also considered to be a positive and lucky number.

333 is an encouragement to act towards your divine goal. It’s the time of making that decision and taking the opportunity. It’s a sign of spiritual growth and to trust in the universe and yourself. It’s time to feel into your optimism, creativity and intuition.

Dirac is espousing his own religious conviction here

it's fine by me but it's every bit as religious to say God is a product of human imagination as it is to say, God is a product of ET civilizations that live nearby and guided evolution intelligently on this planet, ie anthropological/religious stories handed down of first interactions with those ETs being usually referred to as Gods.

Saying "God does not at all exist in any form" is a negative religious statement, and like a negative number still being a number it's still entering the religious equation with mass and weight, of the negative variety.

Honestly the "God doesn't exist" belief is the same to me as "aliens don't exist" or "fairies don't exist," nah I'm aware all those things exist copiously; giant sea turtles exist too and sorry if you haven't seen one but they do exist. Just play nice with them if you encounter one of the above, don't accept gifts or make eye contact. That's all I can say, or if you're a huge jerk and you wanna lose your soul then take their gifts and do make eye contact with an ET / djinn... i mean reiki? hello? these guys can do insane stuff with reiki...watch a reiki master work, a true old school one. They can start flames lol I can only put flames out via airbending but a true reiki master can start a flame with airbending, dass some next level ish...it's on video, the 'scientist' must explain it! or we can sit back and enjoy the psychedelic background radiation of the universe slowly come into greater clarity...

Introduction to Sacred Geometry

I have been working on this post and the graphics for over a week now and I am happy to finally hit the publish button! Hope you like it! Let me know what you think in the comments!

“Greek mythology holds that our human capacity for geometric vision is a gift of the divine feminine—energetic sources of wisdom conceptualized as a lineage of goddesses. Born from primal Chaos is Gaia… She gives birth to Mnemosyne, goddess of Memory, from whose name comes “mnemonic.” The daughters of Mnemosyne are the Muses—the arts and sciences. Memory is the legacy of the sacred Earth, and the…

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” ― Socrates

Janus – Roman God of Time and Transitions Talon Abraxas It is argued that "the human mind cannot conceive an indivisible unit short of the annihilation of the idea with its subject". This is an error, as the Pythagoreans have proved, and a number of Seers before them, although there is a special training for it, and although the profane mind can hardly grasp it. But there are such things as metamathematics and metageometry. Even mathematics pure and simple proceed from the Universal to the particular, from the mathematical, hence indivisible Point, to solid figures. The teaching originated in India, and was taught in Europe by Pythagoras, who, throwing a veil over the Circle and the Point – which no living man can define except as incomprehensible abstraction – laid the origin of the differentiated Cosmic matter in the basic or horizontal line of the Triangle. Thus the latter became the earliest of geometrical figures. - The Secret Doctrine

In truth, the kingdom of heaven is within man far more completely than he realizes; and as heaven is in his own nature, so earth and hell are also in his constitution, for the superior worlds circumscribe and include the inferior, and earth and hell are included within the nature of heaven. As Pythagoras would say; "The superior and inferior worlds are included within the area of the Supreme Sphere." So all the kingdoms of earthly nature, the minerals, the planes, the animals, and his own human spirit are included within his physical body, and he himself is the appointed guardian spirit of the mineral kingdom and he is responsible co the creative hierarchs for the destiny of the scones and metals." ~ Manly P. Hall, Melchizedek and the Mystery of Fire

The Physiological, anatomical, Chemical nature of Man and his spirituality. The microcosm within the macrocosm. To understand the huge and lovely Universe and all its secrets, all you need to understand is the mini-Youniverse. Your body, and its Spiritual secrets, encoded in the Bible, described in the Vedas and most of the other sacred books. The agenda though, of each institution which gives you this same ancient wisdom, is different for each.

You ascend the 33 steps one by one. One (ARC) degree at a time. At the top, the (33rd degree) you reach the domed temple of initiation. This is like the Kundalini energy rising up through the 7 energy chakra-vortexes (Menorah) in your spine.

I wonder about the balance between tradition/innovation in paganism sometimes. On the one hand, I think if modern paganism is to be a vibrant modern spirituality, to some extent it does need to disconnect from history and innovate. Not just in ritual forms, but to an extent, in terms of figures venerated, in terms of festivals, myths, etc. Every god was worshipped for the first time by a human once, had it's name or myth told for the first time. So in our modern age, it would be good and healthy to have such processes too. Not out of nowhere, as in someone just sitting down to make up a religion out of nowhere, but gradually. I think UPG needs to be a lot more highly valued than it is.

But at the same time, since the "the older the better" fallacy is so common in our western culture (see: all those medieval and late antique people claiming their esoteric writings were actually from Zoroaster/Hermes Trismegistus/Pythagoras/Solomon etc.) it's so easy for that to get tangled up in either misrepresentations of history or cultural appropriation in an effort to lend the innovation legitimacy.

It's a really thin line to walk, especially because a lot of that innovation will be a very gradual growing apart of practice and history. Like, how do you keep a practice not completely dependent on academic history, but also not so loose from it it starts to go against what we know?

The Flower of Life, Sacred Sex --Unknown artist

The flower of life appears as female energy, but it actually holds both male and female energy. The points are made up of male energy, while the curves are female energy.

Sacred Geometry: The Meaning Behind The Flower Of Life:

Throughout history, both in the ancient and modern world, certain repetitive geometrical patterns have been found in Nature.

Scientific studies done by research scholars have declared their frequent occurrences in the environment. Prodigious philosophers like Euclid, Pythagoras and Plato among many others have concluded that they form the basis of the reality of our existence; their patterns are inherent to the previous design of human life itself.

Fractals have forever held an important place in certain communities and places of worship and religion which has further sparked questions about the significance of their patterns.

Did the inhabitants of the ancient civilizations have any different knowledge about fractals and their omnipotence? Why the modern world lost its relevance?

Do these patterns have magnified symbolic significance other than simple artistic purposes? Do these fractals form the basis of all things accessible to their domains?

These fractals have a separate harmony of their own. They are ingrained into our consciousness or subconscious because they are a regular occurrence in the human design. They resonate congruously with our all-knowing awareness, because they speak the universal language of mathematics. They imply wholeness, equilibrium, equitable proportions.

Simply staring at these geometric patterns can alter our range, level or frequency of our potentials invoking healing, relaxation and colossal change within you. These fractal representations can calm our mind; transporting us to trance meditative state which lies beyond waking consciousness.

This flower of life is sacred, connected essentially to every aspect of our physicality. When a repetition of uniformly balanced overlapping fractals is placed within six fold symmetry, it creates consistency. It is found in ancient temples of worship and even in modern churches. The commonest version is the two dimensional print vision.

When overlapped with three dimensional Platonic solid figures, it creates a more varied representation of geometry. This topic is the most trending and famous area of discussion among today’s metaphysical and spiritual communities

but on the real, folks, denying the existence of free will is one of the first steps of fascism, it's a political question, free will, more than anything, and fascists love to attack the idea that we can make choices. I'm just coyly pointing out if we don't have free will then all morality is immediately thrown out the window, big win for fascists then

philosopher: see? This proves we don't have free will!

Pythagoras realized, said, coined the reality of perspective when he expressingly realised and then revealed “Physical matter is music solidified.” This poetic insight, attributed to the ancient philosopher-mathematician Pythagoras, unveils a profound bridge between the tangible and the ineffable, the material and the metaphysical. At its core, this phrase invites us to perceive the universe not as a mechanistic expanse of inert substances, but as a living symphony, where the fundamental principles of existence are woven together by vibrations, harmonies, and numerical precision.

1. The Vibratory Essence of All Things

At the heart of this concept is the primacy of vibration, the universal pulse that underlies both sound and matter. Music, at its essence, is organized vibration—a cascade of frequencies arranged into harmony and rhythm. Similarly, modern physics reveals that physical matter, when examined at its most fundamental level, consists of vibrational energy. Atoms, molecules, and particles are not static entities but oscillating waveforms, stabilized into perceivable forms through resonance. Matter, then, is a dense choreography of standing waves—a slower, more grounded echo of the symphonic frequencies that create sound.

2. The Marriage of the Immaterial and the Material

Music dwells in the intangible realm of time, its presence ephemeral yet transformative. Matter, conversely, occupies space, seemingly enduring and immutable. Yet Pythagoras’ insight reminds us that these two realities are not disparate. They are emanations of the same underlying principle: vibration. Physical matter is, in essence, music made visible, its melodies frozen into form, its rhythms sculpted into permanence. This poetic unity blurs the line between the physical and the abstract, suggesting that the material world is not separate from the spiritual or conceptual but is its tangible expression.

3. The Universe as a Cosmic Orchestra

To Pythagoras, the cosmos was not a chaotic expanse but a masterpiece of mathematical order, a grand orchestra playing the “music of the spheres.” He envisioned celestial bodies as instruments of the divine, their movements governed by precise numerical relationships, each contributing to the harmony of existence. If physical matter is indeed “music solidified,” then every star, every stone, and every particle participates in this cosmic symphony, vibrating with the essence of creation. Existence becomes a multidimensional composition, where matter represents a single octave in an infinite scale of reality.

4. A Resonance with Modern Science

Remarkably, Pythagoras’ ancient intuition aligns with the revelations of modern physics. Quantum mechanics reveals a universe of energy fields, where particles behave not as solid entities but as probabilities, governed by wave-like motion. String theory, too, echoes the notion that the fabric of reality is woven from vibrational strings, resonating at different frequencies to produce the diversity of matter and forces. Thus, the phrase “Physical matter is music solidified” is no mere metaphor—it resonates with the cutting-edge understanding of the universe as a vibratory phenomenon.

5. Matter as a Portal to the Divine

This perspective transforms our perception of the physical world. What appears inert and lifeless—stone, wood, metal—is, in truth, a living expression of universal harmony. To study matter is to hear the echoes of a cosmic symphony, to glimpse the mathematical and musical architecture of the divine. It suggests that music is not merely an art form but a key to understanding the deeper truths of existence, a way to attune ourselves to the resonances that shape and sustain reality.

In this luminous vision, the universe becomes a cathedral of sound and form, its foundations composed of vibratory energy, its structures harmonized through the mathematics of creation. The material world, rather than being a solid, static construct, is a resonant, pulsing reflection of higher cosmic principles. “Physical matter is music solidified” invites us to see beyond appearances, to feel the pulse of the cosmos in every atom, and to hear, in the silence of form, the song of existence itself.
