Happy New Year!

Potential Blog Slowdown

Our apologies for any slowdowns in the blog over the next week or so. My hardheadedness has been killing Cougina, so he's been a little under the weather lately. To top it off, I am leaving him alone for most of five days to visit my family. We're hoping that plenty of food, beer, chewing tobacco, and novels will tide him over.
On the bright side, this will give him a chance to reclaim his laptop, and who knows what goodies he will come up with, during this quiet time. Please send him love.

Old Man's Update

Altar work. Where's the light coming from?

From his old lady's point of view...

First, about the photo. If you will trust me about the setup of this altar meditation, there are always seven candles, which you can see sitting on the altar. My chalice is not on the altar; it looks as if I am drinking from it in this photo. Why does the chalice appear as a ball of light?

We are settled into our little casita in Tucson, keeping busy with several major to-do items.

** We desire that Aggie/Augusta complete her path. That will allow me full auric vision, telepathy with other adepts, and the ability to be so much more helpful to Cougina in his work.

** We desire that Cougina be healthy. The old man has plenty of mojo to maintain his health. However, he uses most of it to help others! (Forgive my impinging on your bad boy image, dear.) He has work yet to do, and I want his company for awhile.

** We desire enough income to survive. The vending business has suffered the economic slump. We are hoping that donations from readings, healing jewelry, and teaching will support us modestly.

** We desire to reach the people who are looking for consciousness expansion. We are hoping to use the internet skillfully to reach out to those who wish the assistance of a high adept to contact Higher Self, using this non-dogmatic Hermetic approach. Cougina loves to speak, and he is excited that, with our new video conferencing ability, he can use the auras of his listeners to tailor his communications.

PLANETARY AURA 10 DAYS BEFORE THE SOLSTICE

My, my, my. Woke up this morning with the wind in my hair. Aware of a small earthquake down in Mexico City. How strong were those Santa Ana winds in southern California? Some say close to a million people without power. And, for the first time in recorded history, 8"  of rain on the east coast of Florida. Oh my, oh my, oh my.

Here we are, coming up just a little over a week now, from the 2011 winter solstice. And a lot of the havoc that has been predicted by the negative thought-formers is increasing almost daily.

It would seem that even the naysayers should be listening to some of the soothsayers. Whether or not there is any such thing as climate change caused by man (I'll leave that argument to the scientists and politicians.), something is certainly going on. (Remember that old song, "Hey, what's happening here?") Whether it be caused by a cyclic change (Wouldn't that be a mess, going the way of the dinosaurs?) or has something to do with the abuse of our mother the Earth, would seem to me basically irrelevant at the present time.

Would not a thinking person slowly realize that, irregardless of the reason or cause of these situations, some definitive expression of concern for the planet itself might perhaps be appropriate? Yesterday morning, my lady Augusta and I watched a wonderful eclipse of the moon. While the day was less than satisfactory from a monetary point of view, on the drive back, Augusta actually experienced the planetary aura. Unfortunately, the aura was pink. In the hermetic phiilosophy, when we see pink in a human aura, it would represent a feminine being in a state of pregnancy. Lordy, lordy, lordy. Is the earth pregnant? Is she going through rebirth? How are you going to handle this? Will you continue to tear her apart, blow smoke in her face, or will you slowly realize that she deserves respect? Without it, she will replace you with a sentient being capable of respecting her.

Often people make fun of the true hermetic adepts, who attempt to preach without dogma that we must protect and respect the concept of mother Earth. Are they incorrect? Is it possible that all these religious philosophies that say, "only if you believe in me will you be saved?" is a carryover from ancient Druidic and Eleusinian philosophies?

You know, certainly, that Christmas, Halloween, Easter, all of these supposed contemporary holidays are interpreted from the ancient pagan beliefs. Is it not possible that that concept of "believe in me or be DAMNED" is not also a carryover from the Druidic and Eleusinian theosophies that said that one must love and respect the planet that we come from? Why was the slowest growing tree the most revered? Why did the ancient people already understand the concepts and consequences of the solstices and equinoxes? Here we are, in an extremely developed, highly technological industrial environment, and yet all we seem capable of thinking of is self, and believe me that is lower case. The hell with the others. Take care of self and worry about the rest later.

How do you, as a so-called human being, in any way justify the system that you've supported that allowed you to achieve this comfort and at the same time has excluded any possibility of your progeny and their progeny from ever getting there? I remember buying a house in 1951 for $12,000. Of course, I only  made $100/week. That was middle class. Now, if your child is fortunate enough to have a job paying $500/week, they are below the poverty level, and the average home costs over $100,000. It does not work with a 500% increase in income, and a 1000% increase in needs. Yet, a small minority have achieved a 100,000% increase in income, and this has been allowed by your selfishness, or apathy, or perhaps even ignorance -- thinking that as long as everything was ok today, somehow tomorrow would take care of itself. You have 375 days left until the supposed awakening (Should we call that reawakening?) of the planet. While I am not insisting on the Mayan or New Age philosophical viewpoints, I think that a certain amount of credence should be given to the concept that thoughts become things.

WAKE UP, MY FRIENDS!

SOLSTICE CELEBRATION WITH DON LUIS AND COUGINA

We are very happy to announce that we will be conducting our first streaming video, interactive class and meditation on 12/21/11. Guess when that is, folks? In order that the meditation be placed exactly at the time of the solstice, the class will begin at 10 PM, with a meditation at 10:30, and then presentations by both Don Luis, on the Native American perspective of 2012, and by Cougina, on the hermetic perspective, followed by a Q&A session. It's important to note that this is Arizona time, so if you live in Houston, it's 11 pm. In Asheville or Palm Beach, it's midnight. If you're fortunate enough to live in California, it's 9 pm. If you happen to be in Europe, the Middle East, or Asia (believe me, we're getting some interest from there), you may have to take a break from your workday.

This solstice celebration marks the beginning of the fulfillment of a long time dream of mine, to teach hermetics on a world wide basis. We're planning to go online with regular classes and discussion groups soon. Please understand that the technology is brand new, and makes Skype look like kindergarten. At the present time, the most expensive technology available will only allow 6 people on screen while we are presenting, while the other 9 will be able to view and ask questions, either through audio or chat. We're also able to do straight audio presentations with this software to hundreds of people, which will be happening in the future.

We have had to purchase cameras, microphones, and software in order to do this, and we certainly hope that those of you who wish to attend will be as generous as possible when you hit that Donate button to sign up. Please email or call first (couginamachek@aol.com 602 386 8199) to check on availability. Luis and I each have 7 connections available. The 15th is going to Aggie, so she may participate while she is visiting family for Christmas. We are also putting a copy of this on theoldmansjourney, where most of our international traffic is. We suggest a minimum donation of $25 to help stabilize the cost of this experiment.

Anyone getting a reading after the 16th will get the opportunity to test this wonderful interactive system. Believe me, it's like being there.

Discrepancies in Aura Diagnostics

First of all, allow me to state that an aura is composed of seven sensory perceptions, while the average human has only five: sight, sound, taste, smell, feel. This causes massive amounts of confusion and dissension in your so-called New Age and spiritual communities. While we totally enjoy the enhanced consciousness of the New Age, it was so much easier working with that one in ten thousand in the older spiritual communities. Now we have Kirlian photography, an amazing thing, using Mylar sheets and some form of xray technology available at that time. It has also allowed itself to manifest as this little plate you put your fingers on, while they take a polaroid picture that becomes infused with your electromagnetic or photo-whatever energies (also used in lie detector tests), which emanate around your head in a polaroid photograph. Then we have people saying you may have a pink aura, a blue aura, or a green aura, and then we have others who would disagree with that precept.

I would like everyone to relax and allow themselves to conceptualize that each and every case, and each and every one of these has some potential validity. We have people in our community who cannot see, but smell the aura. Some cannot smell, but hear, and even you, my friends, while you may not incorporate the ability into your daily reality, certainly feel the aura of those around you. (Certainly, you've been in a shopping mall, felt someone to be looking at you, and turned around to see that that was the case.)

Even a high magician is subject to the individual vacillations of self, i.e., their physical consciousness. Some people are colorblind. Some people are blind. Some people are deaf. In the adept community, we would certainly request that humanity recognize that we are entitled to certain individualistic foibles within ourselves.

In my own instance, (and no way insisting that this viewpoint is mandatory), about 97% within the adept community concede that my visual aspects begin at a point within each power center, nominally called chakras in the Eastern philosophy. Zillions of little needle-like rays emanate in all directions. Remember, we are three dimensional here, so we are talking a sphere, not a plane, from that power center. CAUTION HERE! THESE LITTLE RAYS DO NOT PENETRATE SPIRIT BODY. THESE LITTLE RAYS ARE OVERPOWERED BY THE WHITE LIGHT OF THE HEALTH AURA AND THE BLUE LIGHT OF THE MENTAL BODY, BUT RADIATE IN INCREASING THICKNESS THROUGHOUT THE EMOTIONAL BODY ENDING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SPIRIT BODY.

In many circumstances, these lights/colors create stable relationships within other power centers and become immediately apparent as squares, spheres, and/or triangles of opposing light within a different power center. E.g., suddenly someone has red triangles in an area that should be emanating blue, or perhaps purple. Of course, they could be cubes or spheres, or just wavy lines. And of course, as you look at the entire process, there is a constant overlay of all of these emanating needle lines (remember they constantly thicken as they leave the point of origin).

So we now reach this situation, where there's a beautiful emotional egg around this individual, which has all these various emanations from up in their third eye area all the way below to their feet, with pyramids and cubes and spheres, distortions present in the etheric being of the proposed individual, and this is what is actually separating them from spirit body, atman, or higher self.

So if you're managing to follow this, and I understand that it is an extremely difficult conceptually, you could easily perceive pink, fuchsia, purple, lavender or any other color in the reflective range. The problem is, these colors are refractive and not reflective.

Fear instance, just because within the reflective concept of color, humans A B, and C, and, actually, the vast majority, agree that green is green (Please allow yourself this contextual expansion of thought and rectification of such.), that does not mean that they are seeing the same thing. It is just that since the development of the human consciousness, they were told and agreed to identify it as green. Had you been raised on a small island with a small community, and rhetorical references within that community were that a table was a chair, and black was white, and male was female, and suddenly you got thrown into this place, you would think that everyone was nuts. This is the actual key to the beginning of social consciousness. Perhaps an attempt at consensus. Your parent says, "yellow," and you identify with it. Your parent says, "desk," and you identify with it. Automobile. Pick your noun. Pick your adjective. If you really want to get into this, you might perhaps develop the ability to pick your verb. Once you get to that point, we offer you instruction on the construction of adverbs.

So, if someone says that your aura is pink, they are not necessarily incorrect. They perhaps have not been through the conceptual contextual educational process of the universality of thought.

The biggest conflict we have so frequently used to diminish our abilities, is the non-seeer, non-smeller, non-feeler, non-hearer saying, "Well, the last person I went to expressed it somewhat differently."

So the difference of expression should not be allowed to interfere with the quality of interpretation. In Spanish, green is verde. In Russian, no is nyet. And please forgive me, my oriental friends, but consciousness in Chinese is confusing.

So, do not judge someone to be in error if their advice to you is assisting you in your physical/spiritual/emotional growth. Be true to self. Develop your extrasensory abilities within yourself, and find those within your reality who are willing to assist you in that process.

How to approach the study of Kabbalah?

My first suggestion to you would be that Kabbalah/Cabala/Quabala is a method of processing input from the five senses in order that one may achieve extra senses. No matter the philosopher, it still boils down to the creation of your individual concept. Certainly as a landsman, you have at least developed a small awareness of the Sephir Yetsirah. I myself am a Romney gypsy, but lifelong Hermetic (will avoid the past). My concept would be that Kabbalah is the most serious and esoteric attempt by an individual to connect ten intelligences (the spheres) using 22 pathways or concepts (the major Arcana), moving the concepts around in any way necessary, so that one may achieve the supposed unknowable, Ain Soph.

THE TRUE CONCEPT OF HERMETICS

The objective, my friends, is to actually wish that you remember this: Everyone says how disorganized I present this thing, so I'm about to organize your ass. Did you read this? Is the figure familiar? Or, perhaps you prefer this?


One of the most amazing things about this wonderful symbol over here is that there are 22 paths between 10 intelligences. Our job, if you will allow us, is to move your intelligence from Malkuth.

As a result of that, we must make you aware of the various pathways between the diverse intelligences. Unfortunately, even were you to offer me massive amounts of money, the journey to Kether is not for sale. It is something that happens within and without of self. All 22 pathways must be followed, and all 10 intelligences must be experienced.

And, them old Eastern bastards sure had it down. They called it karma. You gotta do the whole thing. They gave you a little break. They call that dharma. Sorta means it's your choice. But no matter how you cut the mustard, my friends, if you really want to play around with that concept of God, or Goddess, or any other form of universal consciousness, you will at some point experience all 10 of these intelligences, and you will approach each and every one of them from all 22 paths.

For your convenience, up on the right we have the tree inside the tree. One going one way, and another one going the other way. We are preparing, or about to, or any way your consciousness would prefer to deal with it, to approach the epiphany of self on SELF. Suddenly, the entire concept of masculine and feminine will be joined as Chokmah meets Binah, and we have been trying to teach you and assist you in understanding the rest of the separations and congruencies that exist in this wonderful mathematical and geometrical example of reality.
You can travel the world//You can investigate the universe//Been to Sedona?//Have you tried Christianity/Buddhism/ad infinitum or are you one of them new age motherfuckers that settle for Zen?

If you consciously follow any of the above, or any other truism, (OH) you're certainly aware of the concept that somehow we are all one. It does not matter whether you be good or bad, male or female, up or down, left or right, correct or incorrect, Republican or Democrat, Christian or Muslim. If you follow any one of those theosophies, you must accept that we are all one.
Picture One as one rubber band. For the last several thousand years, that rubber band has been pulling against itself, as we have been arguing and trying to decide which one is One.
If we really wish things to proceed without opposition, if we really do not want 12/21/12 to be a negative (recognizing that thoughts become things), perhaps // just maybe // perhaps it may be possible to just stop things from getting any worse by the simple expedient of not judging your neighbor or yourself. This, my friends, is the hermetic philosophy. We do not need Azatoth, the Druids, the Egyptians, or any other ancient concepts to assist us in understanding the need of acceptance to allow continuity as we make the change and pass judgments to future realities.
You have decided that you actually want to seek higher self. (I might mention that they're tracking us right now because we're constantly stealing their graphics.) So your concept of self/SELF, your ability to proceed in this time-spatial context, your willingness to investigate without judgement is your most powerful tool and our job is to assist you in that process.

So we're going to allow you a rough look at our thoughts. As we prepare these wonderful little tidbits of knowledge for you, these are the things we think of.



Is the cessation of separation. you ain't gotta stop being self ya just gotta stop....everything can be controlled and balanced at this point but if we keep judging and going further apart it will become untenable///so what if the asshole is wrong///it will not help to remind him at this point anymore than it will to insist that you are right///it is really more the time to force acceptance than the concept of balance//

if you let it continue inside self it is as much your fault as theirs
no right or wrong just stop the judgement from expanding//
they fucked up

the worlds fucked up
we're all fucked up
so's i must be fucked up
if there is a god//it does not matter if it belongs to ye or yeh or ya
please do not let the concept force violence
you wish universal consciousness, then you either reject god or allow the other person's view

GROW UP

As we enter this totally screwed up 2012 period, it's time to grow up. I don't care if you believe in Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed. Depending on your orientation, you may change the order of them. Oh, god damn, I'm not supposed to like judgement.  Read it, dude. We're months away from what could be the best or worst thing that has ever happened in this time-spatial place. (LET'S GET OUR SHIT TOGETHER.)

Everyone's worried about, oh, what's my aura doing. Hell, I got a a friend worried about whether his GD pecker can get hard. And then I got a lady friend that is so interested in accepting everything that she can't accept anything outside her space. C'mon, c'mon, c'mon. 389 days now till 12/21/2012. As a result of this, we have decided to add the DAILY OOMPH (which is just a couple of Tarot cards and a little intuition), for those who are either intellectually or financially unable to join COVINA HERMITICIA. Every morning now, there will be a little gadget called the DAILY OOMPH, just for fun. Always positive, within the possible. Today's OOMPH...

Good morning! Another wonderful day. As you can see from the cards, we have a return of the Ace of Cups, which is a solidly positive emotional card, the Ace of Disks, which is a powerful material card, and that wonderful Beth, the Priestess.  All in all, a wonderful day. It could easily be interpreted as a day to spend money on those you love, i.e., Christmas shopping. And giving can be so much fun, particularly to your partner and family. We still have that Mercury retrograde, so caution is advised, but, all in all, an absolutely wonderful day. Have fun, be happy, remember to love yourself.

The (nearly) Ripe Tomato

Here's aphoto of the ripest tomato in the garden. This morning, I went outside for a breath of fresh air, looked at the tomato that is half red (side facing sun) and half green (the other side) and got a sinking sensation. Of course, I am anxiously awaiting tasting this first (perhaps only) heirloom beauty. Knowing Cougina's impatience, I know he can barely wait to pick it. So, I requested, that he please, oh, please, wait till the tomato is ripe to pick it. He took a photo to help you visualize our conflict, and you can see that only the ripe side is visible. Sigh... Our landlord, Abraham, thinks it's great that I want to wait. That means he will be able to steal it away a day early...

TZADDI THE MOON: COVINA HERMETICIA SNEAK PEAK

Hieroglyph: Tzaddi
Roman: X

Tarot Card: Moon

Astrological Symbol: Pisces
Meaning: Duality, roof, oppressing. Considered by most to represent the most negative card in the deck, but, as a positive, it represents a fecundation and new beginning: a pregnancy of possibilities (dualities) that could be used to achieve that final balance and allow an individual to center to the point that they actually achieve their extrasensory ability.

UH OH! Gotcha now! I once had a lady friend who had these wonderful perky little breasts, and she happened to be Jewish, and within the ability of the feminine concept, interested in true cabala. It took us weeks to name those two entities. We ended up with Mem and Tzaddi, and spent so much time trying to decide which was the left or right, the active or passive, that I finally managed to sodomize this lovely lady.

PS DON'T BEND OVER IN THE SHOWER

THE PLANETARY AURA

First of all, let me be perfectly clear that this is my interpretation of the thoughts and feelings of my community, not necessarily representative of consensus at all points. The planet is a living thing. Even in order to think, one must think that humanity would be the most evolved orgasm on the planet. Now, just to give you an example, I had to stop and think. After that last big O, because my partner's consciousness went one way, and mine went the other. That's why life consciousness is not organic but an orgasm. Believe me that rock or that mountain lives as really as that tree. The planet itself has an auric being that I refer to as Douani. In many ancient cultures, various spellings of this living concept of the planet have existed and manifested. They really are all the same. The planet equates to your expression (human, that is) of love. A truly caring and benevolent entity that, from an egotistical point of view, is here to do nothing more than to support you.

Now comes the hard part. That perception is entirely true. The planet is here for you. However, somehow, in the last hundred years or so, we seem to have lost respect for our support system. We carve large chunks out of her, and carry her to various places in order to change her to suit our purpose. Buildings, bridges, highways. Drill holes in her, and suck her vital fluids, change them, refine them, abuse them, and eventually use them to infect her very atmosphere, her very process of breath.

DOUANI, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SO PATIENT AND PUTTING UP WITH US FOR SO VERY LONG. Please, from this point forward, allow us to accept some responsibility for our actions. Be patient with us, and allow us to find solutions or at least apologize for the pain and discomfort we have caused you. Please, oh please, allow us to assist you in reestablishing that beautiful white light of health that maintains us in our ignorance and assists us in our evolutionary development toward balance.

OH MOTHER WHO SUSTAINS ME, PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

Our First Real Arts and Crafts Show

Trinity Monastery Festival of the Arts was a disappointing show, in the sense that we sold barely enough to cover our expenses getting there.

Of course, there were positives.  We slept in Augustina, our van, in the driveway of Cougina's friends, Jim and Debbie. Cougina doesn't call many people "friend," so it was interesting to meet two people who had earned that title in the period immediately following his wife's death (a time when he was far more difficult to get along with than he is now, if you can imagine that, and drinking way more). Jim, an authentic Christian, was able to discuss his religious views, while allowing Cougina his paganism (although he worries for Cougina's soul).

The highlight of the show was musical entertainment. We got photos of one of the bands, who played Hawaiian music. It had been raining all day, meaning hardly any visitors or sales, and there were only a handful of people in front of the stage. The band members, particularly the keyboard player, were so happy, everyone cheered up. I wish that I knew the name of the band.

After a few songs, the dancers came out...

CONCEPTUAL THOUGHT AND TELEPATHY

The following is a repost from the defunct cougina speaks blog...

This a necessary part of reaching your abilities for auric senses and especially telepathy...'

Conceptual thought means that your thoughts automatically assume the entire concept in processing... For instance war and peace are the opposites of the same concept//so are love and hate and so forth//so one must first recognize opposites before one can even begin the process...

Many times I have seen people attempting to do good end up harming instead because they were not aware of the totality of the concept and ended up harming themselves or others//ONE MUST ALWAYS LOOK AT THE ENTIRE PICTURE//Say a salesman or ad convinces you that you want something. If you were to take food out of your kids' mouths or cost them a needed pair of shoes, where is the good in this? And that is just the small and easy stuff that many manage to understand...

SUPPOSE: You are going to a healer to remove negatives from your astrosome, is there enough validity in the process that you can be assured that no positives are removed, are you sure of the negative in relationship to your whole being?//What is to be done with that energy once removed?//PHYSICS TELLS US THAT ENERGY CANNOT BE DESTROYED//Who is the practitioner sending it to?// Or is it just to float around looking for a new person to attach to... IN THE PURE HERMETIC TRADITION WE WOULD MUCH RATHER KEEP THE ENERGY, LOOK AT ITS ENTIRE CONCEPT, AND MOVE IT TOWARD THE CENTER AND BALANCE, RATHER THAN JUST LOOSING IT INTO THE ETHER//SOMETIMES IT CAN SLOWLY BE MOVED ALL THE WAY TO A POSITIVE...

THIS IS REALLY TOUCHY RIGHT HERE: So called black magicians and witches [believe me they do exist] accumulate energy like this and then use it to create harm in others. They are particularly effective if the person they remove it from knows the person they are going to use it against...

SO VIEWING THE ENTIRE CONCEPT IN ALL THAT WE THINK AND DO IS NOT ONLY NECESSARY FOR DEVELOPING HIGHER SENSES//but also protects the entire astrosome and the souls and bodies of others...

An easy exercise in beginning the process is to, in your free time driving etc., just start trying to think of opposites//It really becomes quite automatic after you force it for awhile//i.e. opposite of death? Birth is death's opposite, and life, the filler for the whole concept, runs from birth to death//THIS EASY METHOD CAN BE APPLIED TO ALL THOUGHT//IT HAS BEEN SAID THE THE BASE OF REALITY AS YOU KNOW IT IS BASED ON 22 ORIGINAL CONCEPTS//CAN YOU DISCOVER THEM?

PLAY WITH THIS FOR AWHILE.

Pictured are the clasps of some of our gold neckpieces.  Cougina is on a roll, alternately making jewelry for the St. David's monastery show this weekend, and resting his hands.

The weather changed yesterday, as in many parts of the country, with temperatures dropping and a dusting of snow appearing in the mountains surrounding Tucson.  We emerged from Home Depot, where we had bought weatherstripping for the front door and clear plastic to enclose the greenhouse, to see a spectacular view.  Unfortunately, no camera.
