Occult Illumination

Emotional coloring harnesses the flow of the vibration. The Ang Vidya and Astrology are the tools in an occult armory that help you to achieve an intimate awareness, normalizing the feel of the vibration and its disturbances in the body. A Lotus Marking networks the realized vibrations into specific channels of emotion to emit a frequency of behaviour conducive to the actions we decide to take.

Channel the changes you desire through a Lotus Marking and symbols are the language of its vibration. A picture is worth a thousand words and a thousand pictures are worth a symbol. A symbol is worthy of evoking a feeling and each feeling is a vibration. The Lotus Marking is a series of sixty-four symbols used to vibrate our emotional body to effect the change we want to enact in ourselves. 

The symbols are collected from the Pada-Sevanam. In theory, it is possible to produce variations on this collection by substituting other cyphers, but the degree of Alchemy involved to make this happen should only be attempted after you are well versed in using the system. Drawn from the experiences of the gurus, the symbols used in this interpretation have been validated in practise.

When people make a marking of themselves, for themselves, it transforms their physical body into a casual body and offers a practical path towards change. The vibrational wisdom of the One was distilled to give the Many, common access to universal knowledge designed to support your change into a being of light. Through a Lotus Marking, the invisible link between our casual and physical bodies hardens into reality supplying action to awareness. Self-awareness is a state of mind as much as it is a study, and by drafting a master profile and drawing your conclusions, you are preparing your mind to effect the change desired.  

The patterns of the Emotional Sole and the Hand of Heaven combine to make up the architecture of a Lotus Marking. Start by gathering the conclusions you have drawn from your master profile. The conclusions drawn from my examples are the guide I use to apply the vibrational symbols of a Lotus Marking. 

Hast Profile

1. Selflessness is an act of generosity and the difficult lesson was learned through the karmic reprecussions of hubris. Overconfidence in the power of giving as a form receiving has been corrected.
2. Wise understanding of power struggles concerning life purpose and respect for truth.
3. A cautious attitude towards own emotions is rooted in frustration.
4. Realizing a missed opportunity has caused emotional distress and as a result attitude towards productivity has been affected. The importance of productivity has been emphasized in recent decisions
5. Positive thinking combined with a strong willpower has allowed ideals to manifest in a practical way. Physical caution is exercised with wisdom.
6. Frustration is limiting potential. There is a vital depletion in vitality as a result that must be addressed to unblock initiative. Use courage and leadership skills to address the problem.

Paad Profile

1. A deliberate change has been applied to improve productivity and confront frustration, and this has released latent potential.
2. An excess of emotional needs is discharged as an excessive sadness or nostalgia. An excessive flow suggests a recent emotional purge.
3. Flirtatious behaviour in nature of attachments and commitments are unstable in the exterior world. 
4. Depressive circumstances in exterior world have created self-destructive behaviors that have led to a morose thinking pattern.
5. A pronounced detachment from both the exterior and interior worlds indicates isolation is present in both worlds. 
6. A second cue to the pronouncement of rocky relationships and drawing from cue 5, either the difficulties with relationships stem from isolation needed to have divine experiences or the isolation of difficult relationships has created the opportunity for divine experiences to occur. More cues would need to be drawn to explore the repercussions implied.

Add the primary conclusions from Mukha and free flow speculation.

• If I am more vigilant about being too focused, I can moderate my behavior to be less dismissive.
• If I share more of myself to begin with, I may be able to avoid the circumstances that lead to these disengagements.
• My traits of empathy and open mindedness need to be practiced more to do this.
• Frustration is a theme through the entire chain of insights.
• I must also confront the difficulties of hubris to make that change happen.
• By being observant, I can overcome this self-destructive tendency and avoid circumstances that trigger it.

Study the conclusions from your profile and decide a course of action. Choose a symbol from the Lotus Markings to match the action you take. Apply according to the divisions detailed in the Hand of Heaven and Emotional Sole.  Matching the symbols of influence, to emotions, to action, is a subjective assumption. It is advanced awareness and determining which symbol to use should arise intuitively as you study your profiles. To apply the symbols without studying your occult profiles first, is to act without awareness and elicits unintended vibrational forces. 

One symbol can be applied to resolve a combination of conclusions, and one conclusion can use more than one symbol. Paper maps are preferred but you can also draw the symbols directly onto your skin and use them outside of the context of a full contemplation. The symbols resonate with a vibrational pulse and by placing a symbol upon a discharge point we vibrate that point with the pulse of the symbol. For example, if I know my weakness is to think too much before acting, I can ink my foot to correct the shortfall by marking a thunderbolt to the Mars toe of my left foot. Periodically applying the symbols directly onto your skin is a good way to see their immediate effectiveness. Emotional empowerment, as the instrument of change in the physical body, produces cymatic patterns of light in the casual body. Amplifying the pulse of the emotional vibration morphs the light and the direct inking of symbols displays this amplification sub-consciously so that your conscious mind is freed from the contemplation process.

We are dimensional entities and our three aspects of being, our actual body in the physical world, our two minds in the astral and our emotional body in the casual world, each have a self-awareness or a consciousness of being. In the physical world we are conscious of physical reality. Astral awareness comes through our subconscious and in the superconscious we are aware of the casual world of our emotional body. The astral dwells within the physical body but the casual body is separate. Our casual body of light, our spirit, our soul of mystical shadows, is the first body of the universal flow and when we mark ourselves with these symbols, we unify all our bodies of consciousness under a single awareness by connecting our physical body to our universal body. 

Repeated and accumulated over time a collection of Lotus Markings paints a picture of your overall emotional progression. Like a series of flipping animations, they embody the connection between our emotional, casual body and our material, physical body and in doing so they light a dimensional pathway to illumination. 

Self-awareness is the first step towards a greater awareness. The word aware is from an old English word gewaer whose root wer means to watch out for. In flashes of self-awareness, we take a step onto the path of light and to stay on the path, we must continually take steps by continuously watching ourselves. The Markings of a Lotus is the active application of what we have learned from watching ourselves and with repeated interpretations of the symbolic markings, we can accelerate our enlightenment into illumination.   

Direct inking should be selective and can be done at any time but do not permanently tattoo a lotus marking symbol onto your feet or hands. A Lotus Marking is to be done repeatedly as you progress and take the incremental actions to change. By repeating the application successively, we can analyze the effectiveness of those actions and see how to improve. Repetitions of a full contemplation should be scheduled to coincide with the behavioral star wheel that you use. I use the outer zodiac so I would schedule another contemplation in 4 to 5 months. 

I placed an elephant on my left big toe, the discharge point for negative manifestations. The elephant is the symbol for immense wisdom and would counteract any unconscious acts on my own behalf towards self-destructive behavior as I tried to change. Situated on the discharge point for negative manifestations, the symbol would also help me to avoid the circumstances that triggered a dismissive response to change. I focused on the unconscious because the first conclusion of my Paad profile showed that a conscious effort to address my frustration was already occurring. I then placed a fan, the symbol of rebirth, on the discharge point for spiritual conflicts so I would have the emotional clarity needed to make sound judgments aligned with my desire for change. Within the conclusions there are signs of difficult relationships, so I placed triple triangles, symbols of understanding, on the discharge point for communication skills, to aid in navigating any conflict created by the change and to symbolize a unification of purpose in all three aspects of my being. I continued matching symbols to discharge points till I was satisfied with a final foot map that showed the change in behaviour I wanted to emulate.

Then I applied complimentary symbols onto my palms according to the Hand of Heaven layout. The hands are our intake point for universal energy and by placing complimentary symbols on our hands we can redirect the incoming energy into a specific chain of influences. In marking the Hand of Heaven, you try to balance the discharges of the feet. 

I placed a bumble bee, the symbol of industrious hard work, on the moon mound of my left palm to encourage creative, imaginative solutions to my problems. This would help me to continue to avoid frustration. I placed a tower, the symbol of community provisions, on the mound of Sagittarius to encourage honorable behavior receptive to the common good. These influences would help to keep my focus on the big picture instead of hyper focusing on the details and encourage my sustained engagement. I continued to mark my hands till I was satisfied with how I thought the universal energy should flow in order to support my change.

I have provided only a few examples from my full profile and the conclusions drawn from them are the framework by which I matched the symbols. Even with only a few conclusions it easy to see how this symbolic conversation with our emotional body can lead to an awareness of the self. These intimate conversations are usually the domain of our subconscious and when we perform a Lotus Marking, we shift those intimate conversations to the conscious world, and through that transfer, we become a being capable of creating our own light.

Look, my hands and feet are ablaze, and my head, it is a crown of flaming light. Behold, I have spun mud into gold.

Grace is a word heavy with religious meaning. The grace I speak of is what we set apart within ourselves for the sacred purpose of enlightenment. It is divine in origins, and it is the spark of light that burns in us all. A vibrational hum of light that when we become enlightened grows to burn brilliantly. Grace alights from within. Seeping outward from beneath your skin to blind your hands, feet, and face with light. Enlightenment is the transformation of the physical body into a light body and grace is a state of harmony received when we vibrate in tune with the Universal One. It is defined by spiritual literature as unmerited divine assistance. Unmerited implies an unworthiness but it means that you do not have to do anything to deserve it. It is a birthright. The universe is alive inside of you and when we work to enlighten ourselves, there is a free flow of divine assistance. 

The Occult Illumination is a communication from the universe and a lay method of divine assistance for hacking the subconscious. It is everyone’s divine right, but it is not easy. Over the course of history there have been more than one hundred billion individuals, yet when we think of those who have achieved full illumination only a handful of names might come to mind. The light is elusive and contingent on maintaining a balance between our emotional body and our physical body and those two are in a constant struggle. The many doctrines of the occult are used to communicate with our emotional being and help subdue that struggle. 

In the process of building your profiles you become more self-aware. When you create a Lotus Marking you use that awareness to alter your behaviour. The super consciousness of our casual body is our universal awareness, an awareness of the One; self-awareness is the infra-awareness of reality, an awareness of the Many.  The sub-conscious is the bridge between our emotional and physical bodies and by becoming intimately aware of our emotions, we trigger our imaginations to connect to the casual body and transfer its light into physical reality. 

The Occult Illumination supplies a strategy to build awareness. Simple tools of universality that through self-discovery help you to gain a deeper understanding of your emotions. Challenge your inner demons not but casting them out but by understanding them through a rational analysis and integrating them.  

The root of the word close is klau and klau is a Proto-Indo-European word that means anything used as a lock on primitive structures. Our physical bodies are a lock upon self- awareness and when we practise the Ang Vidya and Astrology, we exemplify its intrinsic meaning by closely examining our bodies to unlock a door to the Universal One. With an active direction of mind and by paying attention to our body of feelings, we can draw together the One and the Many. When we pay close attention to the primitive structure of our physical bodies, we unlock a dimensional back door to our universal being of light.  We may not attain the elusive light for ourselves but in the process, we unravel the advancing phycological evolution of being human.
