P'taah the El Douad

There was an Egyptian God called P'TAAH. He is speaking through me now. He says to share with you that there are 12 sets of twin characteristics. These are the 12 sets of opposite characteristics:

keeping silent - talking
receptivity - resistance to influence
obeying - ruling
humility - self confidence
lightning-like speed - circumspection
to accept everyting - to be able to differentiate
ability to fight - peace
caution - courage
to possess nothing - to command everything
to have no ties - loyalty
contempt for death - regard for life
indifference - love

In order to serve you must master the use of DIVINE RIGHT TIMING and DIVINE RIGHT PLACE for the expression of the 12 sets of opposite characteristics.

lotus law

"You can move into passivity only when all that is there like junk has been thrown out. Anger has been thrown out, greed has been thrown out...layer upon layer, these things are there. But once you have thrown them out, you can easily slip in. There is nothing to hinder. And suddenly the bright light of the Buddha land. And suddenly you are in a totally different world - the world of the Lotus Law, the world of Dharma, the world of Tao."
- Osho, Meditation, 62

Visible Speech Music

Now all that can be perceived by supersensible vision, all that can thus be learned about the nature of these forms and gestures of the air, can be carried into movements of the arms and hands, into movements of the whole human being. There then arises in visible form the actual counterpart of speech. One can use the entire human body in such a way that it really carries out those movements which are otherwise carried out by the organs connected with speech and music. Thus there arises visible speech, visible music — in other words, the art of Eurythmy.

lost and found

"Why are we so full of restraint? Why do we not give in all directions? Is it fear of losing ourselves? Until we do lose ourselves there is no hope of finding ourselves."

root spirit

One of the few modern intellectuals to appreciate Steiner's work, William Irwin Thompson characterizes the "Steinerian vision "as one that "looks at the human as so completely embedded in the animal, vegetal, and mineral evolution of the solar system that it becomes nonsense to separate a fictive 'matter' from mind, and a mere three dimensions from ten.... All of the seemingly mystical perceptions of Steiner have a biological relevance that fits a new kind of science, and a new kind of culture." For Steiner, the universe is a harmonic orchestration in which our minds are embedded, not as alienated organs, but as integrated aspects of the whole. Within this whole,  other forms of mind also exist, a vast ecology of consciousness, that can be registered by us, if we work to attain what he called "supersensible perception." Throughout his innumerable lectures and books, Steiner describes "lower creatures" such as the goblins and other "root spirits," as well as great cosmic entities, angelic hierarchies, and higher spiritual beings.
